At the lakeside outpost, there was still a faint smell of blood in the strange tunnel, and Vivien and Lily were cautiously moving forward in the tunnel.They hadn't been in contact with the bearded four yet, so they didn't know that the four dervishes had told Gerton and Ophra about the situation, but they could guess that this kind of important information would inevitably be reported to the head of the diocese, so when they first arrived at the outpost, they cautiously checked the surroundings, and they were worried that some investigators from the church had arrived here and set up camp.Luckily, however, it seems that Gerton has postponed the investigation of the tunnels by a day - Vivien and Lily have not seen any outsiders when they arrived, and there is no sign of strangers in the tunnels since then.When the group first arrived, they didn't know what had happened in the Beinz area in the past two months, and they were anxious to return the Templar Orb and confirm the situation in Leightontown, so they didn't do much to explore the tunnel.When Lily dug down a shaft, there were actually two paths, one was the exit for Hao Ren and the others to leave the lakeside outpost back to the surface, and the other stretched deep underground: now Lily and Vivien were walking in the tunnel that sloped slightly downward."
The feeling gets deeper and deeper......
And the air is getting less and less fresh," Lily is of course walking in front as a hand-to-hand fighter, she shrugs her nose and keeps sniffing the smell of the air, the atmosphere here makes her very uncomfortable, "I'm a little hairy......"
Vivien followed behind Lily, and from time to time released a few small bats to the front to investigate the situation, and casually agreed: "You're already hairy." ”"That's right......," Lily thought for a moment, "but now I only have a tail and ears that are fluffy, and your rhetoric is inaccurate." ”Vivien: "......
I'm really hungry to discuss things with you. ”I don't know how much this straight tunnel extends downward, and it has been at least more than an hour along the way, and the two grandmothers are not afraid of this environment, but they are bored all the way and have to chat to dispel the boring atmosphere.But there was still no end in sight to the road in front of him, as if the downward cavern was going to lead to hell.The air in this section was already quite turbid, and the oxygen content had long been reduced to the limit of ordinary people's survival, but Vivien and Lily were able to cope with it easily.As she walked, Vivien couldn't help but caress the stone wall she passed by, and even though she knew it was a special wall condensed by the influence of magic, she was amazed at its smoothness and solidity.Earth's magical heritage was shattered, and she couldn't even remember any of the "old friends" she'd ever met on Earth.And the round inner wall of the tunnel in front of her also made Lily can't help but think: "I feel like we're walking in the digestive tract of a giant beast......
Vivian patted Lily's tail with her hand: "You can't think of something good, disgusting or not." ”"What the hell do you think this tunnel is for?"
Lily didn't care, but lifted the fire to light the way with joy, "all the way to this depth......
If you want to say that it was made by humans, there is no lighting and no ventilation in the tunnel, so it is completely useless. ”"I'm thinking about this too, if this is made for people to walk through, at least leave a ventilation hole," Vivien frowned, she thought she could find the traces left by humans in front of her, but she didn't expect that the further she went, the more she felt far away from "popularity", she looked up and saw the claw blade that Lily used as a torch, and couldn't help but be a little curious, "What is the principle of fire happiness, the oxygen here is so thin that it can still burn, and I remember that it doesn't seem to be extinguished in the water......"
Lily rubbed her sword out of its sheath and pointed at Vivien with Frost Sorrow: "I'm not allowed to mention this name again!"
Otherwise, I'll freeze you with frost sorrow!
”Vivien pouted: "Thinking about the copyright issue, it's better for you to change your name to Frost Unhappy......"
Lilyden was furious, but before she could attack, she saw Vivien's eyes suddenly froze, and then scraped on the stone wall next to her with the light of fire joy, and the latter scraped some brown-black flakes from the wall: "What is this?"
”"Isn't it stone chips?"
Lily's hatred usually lasted only three seconds, and then her attention was diverted for a moment, and she leaned over with a torch, "Uh, it doesn't look like a stone......
It smells a bit of rotten roots. ”Vivien pinched the black flakes and easily crushed them into pieces: "Soft, fibrous, certainly not stone, it feels a bit like tree bark." ”At this time, Lily's ears trembled, and she suddenly turned to the depths of the tunnel with a sharp and sensitive turn: "Now, bat, did you hear any sound coming from ahead?"
”Vivien frowned and listened intently for a moment, and just now she also heard a slight grinding sound coming from a distance, but then the sound disappeared again.She summoned a small bat and threw it out, and the bat was wrapped in thunder and light, and disappeared into the dark end of the tunnel in an instant.Lily seemed to feel that the atmosphere was not right, and subconsciously crossed the blades of ice and fire on her chest to prepare for battle, while Vivien carefully observed the situation ahead through the little bat.Half a minute later, her eyes suddenly widened, and she grabbed Lily's collar violently: "Run!"
”Before Lily could react, her whole body was dragged sideways: "Eh, what's going on......
Vivian threw Lily forward, forcibly turning the rear team into the front team, and then disintegrated into a large group of bats following closely: "Don't ask, run!"
”A dense and strange thump suddenly came from behind him, mixed with the strange sound of a rock being crushed, and it approached this direction at an alarming speed, as if a thousand beasts were flooding.Lily finally understood what was going on, her tail fluffed up like a marshmallow, and she ran forward on all fours: "What the hell is going on!
”Some of Vivien's little bats glanced back, and because Lily had retracted her claw blades when she landed on all fours, the tunnel was suddenly pitch black, and she could only barely light the way with the electric sparks bursting out of the bats, and she saw that a terrifying shadow had rushed out at the end of the deep and dark tunnel, and was rapidly approaching this side with a momentum of destruction!
It was a grotesque creature like a giant tentacle that Vivien could only vaguely make out the wrinkled and bifurcated structure at the end, so large that it completely filled the entire tunnel, smashing the solid rock of the tunnel's walls as it rushed towards it.Vivien suddenly thought of the black flakes that had just hung from the stone wall, of the round tubular structure of the tunnel, and of how the tunnel was formed!
She didn't know if she was the opponent of this tentacle, maybe the tentacle was not as powerful as it seemed, but the wisdom accumulated after more than 10,000 years of living told her that when encountering an unknown enemy in this extremely unsuitable environment, she must not go back and test the enemy's strength in person, but should immediately move to an open area where she can play herself.Even if you try to fight, you have to play at your best!
Lily also glanced back, and saw the terrifying tentacles rushing in the darkness, and the fluff on her tail exploded even more fluffy: "Bat, what did you lure out?"
"I didn't lead it!"
It sensed that we were approaching, and had been slowly crawling out just now!
”"Find a way to block it for a while!"
Lily glanced back again, "It's getting closer!"
”Vivien immediately split a small group of bats and went out, unleashing a lightning blast as best she could before she could recharge her strength.I only heard a loud bang, and the lightning impact exploded in this closed tunnel that made people's eardrums burst, and also made the originally dark underground world suddenly bright as day, Lily was not ready for it all of a sudden, and was almost blinded (correct), but this time she didn't have time to call Vivien, but continued to run wildly: "Did you kill it?!"
”Vivien's voice came from all directions through the bats: "Keep running!"
”The chase lasted for so long that Lily almost felt like there was no end in sight to the tunnel, but just as she was about to come up with the idea, a light suddenly appeared in front of her.It's where she laid the shaft before!
At night, the ruins of the outpost on the shores of the Blood Lake were shrouded in a dead silence, but a sudden thunderous roar broke the silence from underground, and several small beasts who had rested here at night were startled by the strange noise and fled in panic.A silvery-white figure and a large black bat burst out of a hole in the camp almost simultaneously.
