At the lakeside outpost, there was still a slight smell of blood in the weird tunnel, and Vivian and Lily were walking cautiously in the tunnel.
They haven't been in contact with the four bearded people yet, so they don't know that the four ascetic monks have told Gordon and Ophra the authentic situation, but they can guess that such important information will inevitably be reported to the head of the parish. , so when the two first arrived at the outpost, they carefully checked the surrounding situation. They were worried that investigators from the church had already rushed here to set up camp. Fortunately, it seemed that Gordon delayed the investigation of the tunnel for a day—Vivienne and Lily saw no outsiders when they came here, and there was no trace of strangers coming in the tunnel after that.
When the group first arrived here, they didn't know the many major events that had happened in the Beinz area in the past two months, and they were in a hurry to send back the Temple Orb and confirm the situation in Layton Town, so they didn't understand the situation. Tunnels do too much probing. When Lily dug a shaft, there were actually two ways to go. One way was the exit for Hao Ren and the others to leave the outpost by the lake and return to the surface, and the other way went all the way to the deep underground: now Lily and Vivienne are Walk down this slightly sloping tunnel.
"It feels deeper and deeper... and the air is becoming less and less fresh," Lily, as a hand-to-hand fighter, of course walked in front, she raised her nose and kept sniffing the smell in the air. The atmosphere here made her very uncomfortable. Comfortable, "I'm a little hairy..."
Vivienne followed Lily, releasing a few little bats to investigate the situation from time to time, and agreed casually after hearing the words: "You must be furry."
"That's right..." Lily really thought about it seriously, "But now I only have a tail and ears that are fluffy. Your rhetoric is not accurate."
Vivienne: "...I'm really full to discuss issues with you."
This straight tunnel extends downwards for an unknown number of times, and it has been at least an hour since I walked this way. The two grandmothers are not afraid of this kind of environment, but they are bored all the way and have to chat to dissipate the boring atmosphere. But the road in front of him still has no end in sight, as if the downward-sloping cave is going to extend all the way to hell. The air in this section is already quite turbid, and the oxygen content has long been reduced to the survival limit of ordinary people, but both Vivienne and Lily can handle it with ease. Vivian couldn't help stroking the stone wall she passed by as she walked. Even though she knew it was a special wall condensed under the influence of magic, she was still surprised at its smoothness and firmness. The magical heritage on Earth is fragmented. She couldn't even remember if any of the "old friends" she had met on Earth could use this unique skill.
And the round inner wall of the tunnel in front of her also made Lili couldn't help thinking wildly: "I feel like we are walking in the digestive tract of a giant beast..."
Vivian patted Lily's tail smoothly: "You can't think of something good, disgusting or not."
"What do you think this tunnel is for?" Lily didn't care, she just raised a fire to light the way forward, "It goes all the way to such a deep place... If it is made by humans, there is no light in the tunnel." Second, without ventilation, it is completely useless."
"I'm also thinking about this problem. If this place is built for people to walk, at least there must be a ventilation hole." Vivian frowned. She thought that she could find traces left by humans in front of her, but she didn't. Thinking that the more she moved forward, the more she felt far away from "popularity". She looked up again and saw the claw blade that Lily used as a torch, and couldn't help being a little curious, "Speaking of what the reason for the joy of fire is, the oxygen here is so thin. Burn, and I remember that it doesn't seem to go out even in water..."
Lily rubbed her sword out of its sheath and pointed at Vivienne with Frostmourne: "I've said it before and don't mention this name again! Otherwise, I'll freeze you with Frostmourne!"
Vivienne curled her lips: "Thinking about the copyright issue, it's better to change the name of your thing to Shuangzhi's Unhappy..."
Lily was furious immediately. But before she had time to attack, Vivienne's eyes suddenly narrowed, and then she scratched on the nearby stone wall with the joyful light of the fire. The latter scraped some brown-black flakes from the wall: "What is this?"
"Isn't it stone chips?" Lily's hatred usually only lasted for three seconds, and at this moment her attention was diverted instantly. She held up the torch and leaned over, "Well, it doesn't look like a stone... It smells a bit like rotten tree roots."
Vivienne pinched the black flakes and easily crushed them into pieces: "It's soft and fibrous. It's definitely not stone. It feels a bit like bark."
At this time, Lily's ears trembled, and she suddenly turned to the depths of the tunnel sensitively: "Hey, bat. Did you hear any sound coming from ahead?"
Vivian frowned and listened intently for a while, just now she also heard a slight sound of friction coming from a distance. But then the sound disappeared again. She conveniently summoned a small bat and threw it out. The bat was surrounded by lightning, and disappeared into the dark end of the tunnel in an instant. Lily seemed to feel that the atmosphere was not right, and subconsciously held the crossed blades of ice and fire on her chest to prepare for the battle, while Vivian carefully observed the situation ahead through the little bat.
Half a minute later, her eyes widened suddenly, and she grabbed Lily by the collar: "Run!"
Before Lili could react, her whole body was dragged into the air: "Hey, what's going on, what's going on..."
Vivian threw Lily forward, forcing the rear team to change to the front team, and then disintegrated into a large group of bats followed closely behind: "Don't ask, run!"
A dense and strange rushing sound suddenly came from behind, mixed with the strange sound of rocks being crushed. This sound approached here at an alarming speed, as if a thousand beasts were flooding over. Lily finally understood what was going on, her tail suddenly became fluffy like cotton candy, and she ran forward desperately on all fours with a cry: "What the hell is going on!"
Some of Vivian's little bats looked back. Since Lily put away her claw blades when she landed on all fours, the tunnel was suddenly pitch black, and she could only rely on the electric sparks from the bats to barely illuminate the road. She saw At the deep and dark end of the tunnel, a group of terrifying shadows has rushed out, and is rapidly approaching here with a destructive momentum!
It was a grotesque thing like a huge tentacle, and Vivian could only vaguely make out that its end had a structure full of folds and forks. This tentacle was so huge that it even completely filled the entire tunnel. While rushing over, it continuously smashed the solid rocks on the walls of the tunnel to pieces. Vivian suddenly thought of the black sheet hanging from the stone wall just now, thought of the round tubular structure of this tunnel, and thought of how this tunnel was formed!
She doesn't know if she is the opponent of this tentacle, maybe the tentacle is not as powerful as it looks, but the accumulated wisdom from living for more than 10,000 years tells her that in this extremely unsuitable environment, encountering unknown Enemy, you must not turn around and test the enemy's strength in person, but you should immediately move to an open area where you can play. Even if you try to play against each other, you must be in a place where you can perform at your best!
Lily also glanced back, seeing the terrifying tentacles sprinting over in the dark, the fluff on the tail became more fluffy: "Bat, what did you draw out—"
"I didn't lure it out! It already sensed that we were approaching, and it was slowly crawling out just now!"
"Hurry up and find a way to temporarily block it!" Lily glanced back again, "It feels like it's getting closer!"
Vivienne immediately split a small group of bats out, and before she had time to recharge, she shot out a bolt of lightning as much as she could.
There was only a loud bang, and the shock of lightning blasted the eardrums in the closed tunnel, which also made the originally dark underground world suddenly bright as day. Lily was not ready at once, and was almost blinded by the flashing dog. Eyes (correct), but this time she didn't have time to fight with Vivienne, but continued to run wildly: "Did you kill it?!"
Vivian's voice came from all directions through the swarm of bats: "Keep running!!"
This chase lasted for a long time, and Lily almost felt that the tunnel would never end, but just when she had this idea, a light suddenly appeared in front of her.
It was the place where she had dug the shaft before!
Under the night, the ruins of the outpost by the Blood Lake were shrouded in a deadly atmosphere, but a thunderous roar suddenly came from the ground, breaking the tranquility, and several small animals resting here at night were startled by the strange noise , and fled in panic.
A silver-white figure and a large mass of black bats rushed out of a hole in the camp almost at the same time. (to be continued~^~)
