Lightning felt goosebumps all over his body.
She suddenly remembered the stories of the explorers who crawled out of the abyss, the ghosts who died in grudges, or the undead who lingered. All of them are an explorer's nightmare. Even if they look at each other, they can kill people. Illusions and deception are their good tricks. Could it be that such monsters are also hidden in this ruins
Although Lei Ting said that these stories were just nonsense made up by some third-rate explorers, she still felt shaken in her heart at this moment. Otherwise, who else could be besieged by the devil and still shout for months without even changing the pitch and interval
She is now faced with a dilemma. If it is really a legendary and evil thing that kills all the devils, it seems that she will not escape bad luck by trespassing. But if the other party really insisted until now, then the devil should still be in the ruins, what should we do
After hesitating for a moment, she decided to fly back to Maisie to discuss.
After briefly narrating the situation, Maisie raised her head and said, "We can put out the torch and go in quietly, so that the devil can't see us."
"Well, but we can't see them either."
"I can become an owl," the dove rubbed against her face. "No matter how dark the night is, it won't be difficult for me to goo."
Lightning's eyes lit up, "This is a good way, but... Those legendary evil creatures have lived in the dark all their lives, so there is always a way to find their prey, right? Otherwise, they should have starved to death long ago."
"Didn't you say they were all made up by others to scare people?"
"It's not me, it's my dad." The little girl corrected.
"It's all the same. Anyway, I have never heard of immortal monsters in Greycastle. If they are really that scary, they shouldn't just stay in that small place in the fjord, right?" A ray of light emerged from Maisie's body. The pigeon suddenly swelled and turned into a gray-brown owl with eager eyes, "I thought you would be very interested in these legends."
Yes, if he is a qualified explorer, he will never miss an opportunity to verify the legend. What's more, she still has a heart block to overcome, and if she flees now, all her previous efforts will be forfeited. Lightning hesitated for a moment and decided to do as Maisie said.
But wait... I came here because I needed to overcome my fear, so why is the other party so interested in exploring the ruins? Is it...
"You can't wait so much, isn't it for that basket of eggs?"
The owl blinked his big round eyes and turned his head away.
…
Standing at the entrance of the basement again, Lightning took a few deep breaths, clenched the revolver in his hand, and walked lightly into the deep darkness.
Probably because Maisie squatted on her shoulders, she felt much calmer than before.
The ground is damp to the touch, and occasionally there will be a puddle of water. It is located in a low place, and the rainwater falling into the tower will slowly collect downwards. Although there are generally underground ditches for drainage in the basement, after hundreds of years of wind and rain, these underground ditches may have long been blocked. Eighty-eight.
Maisie patted her head with her wings, which meant there was a downward staircase ahead.
Lightning slowed down, and tried to probe the edge of the stairs a little bit, and then carefully stepped down. After turning a corner, she suddenly saw the light.
The soft pale yellow light penetrated from the end of the stairs and sprinkled on the ground, reflecting the sparkling light.
After watching it carefully, she realized that the slightly shaking ground was actually a piece of sewage. According to the small half of the door frame buried in the water, it can be seen that the water at the bottom of the basement can probably cover the knees.
She carefully walked to the junction of the stairs and the water surface, lifted her feet off the ground, slowly floated to the door, and looked inside.
I saw an empty space inside the door. The underground space of this stone tower is unbelievably large, which has far exceeded the above-ground part. She didn't see a burning torch, the yellow light came from the stone inlaid on the wall. While they roughly outlined the basement, they also allowed Lightning to see everything in the room.
There was a stone platform in the center of the room, and there were several figures standing on it. From the carapace behind and the burly figure, it could be seen that they were all demons. Fortunately, the enemy hadn't noticed the movement by the door, but held a spear and a large shield to surround a square blue stone pillar.
At this time, the cry for help became clearer and clearer, as if it was ringing in her ear.
"Save me, save me..."
Lightning swallowed, what should I do next
"us… "
"Go and save her goo," Maisie whispered in her ear.
"Eh?" The little girl was stunned, "But, there are several devils there... There's no way we could have beaten them!" She felt sweaty in the hand holding the gun handle, "If Sister Nightingale is here, it will be fine. , but I alone... can't do it."
"Is that the devil you're talking about?" Maisie tilted her head, "They all seem to be dead."
"What, dead?"
Before she could finish her words, Maisie had already vacated and flew towards the high platform, so frightened that Lightning froze in place for a while, and even forgot to reach out and hold her. When she reacted, she had already jumped on a devil, and Lightning had no choice but to grit her teeth, raise her gun to keep up, and recite Professor Nightingale's shooting essentials in her heart.
As a result, a surprising scene appeared. I saw the devil who was pecked twice by the owl collapsed, like a broken and weathered stone, turned into a pile of fly ash in a blink of an eye.
How is this going? Lightning landed next to Maisie, looking at the other three demons in surprise.
Under the reflection of the yellow light, their bodies are densely covered with tiny cracks, and there are traces of spider webs between their legs. Through the hideous headgear, you can see that the eyeballs and skin are grayish-white. A trace of vitality. It turns out that, she thought, the owl's vision in dim light is several times better than her own, that's why Maisie said that.
But before he could relax, Lightning's eyes were completely attracted by something else.
In the high platform surrounded by devils, stands a huge cube, which looks like a stone pillar when seen from a distance. A woman in a gorgeous robe is wrapped in the cubic crystal. Her eyes are closed, her hands are open, and her long blue hair is spread back, as if she is still fluttering in the wind.
"Is this a witch goo?" Maisie flew to the top of the crystal and gave a peek. This time it didn't shatter in response, but instead made a crisp knocking sound, "So hard goo!"
"I don't know," Lightning murmured, she put her hand on the crystal, the cold chill came through the skin, and the crystal surface was covered with thick dust, apparently the woman had been in this "sarcophagus" for a long time. for a long time. Her expression was lifelike, and her frowning eyebrows were raised upwards, looking a little flustered, but more anxious and worried.
"help me… "
The sound came from behind the crystal again. (., Your support is my biggest motivation.)
