Chapter 113 Waterway Exploration
Sufina and Bing Zhixie were alert at the same time. They immediately ran around the corner. Bing Zhixie shot out a bright light from his hand. At the end of the light, a person quickly passed by and ran in. into another sewer.
“Chase!” Bing Zhixie stepped into the air, and with every step he took, the wind element rebounded fiercely under his feet. Sufina immediately transformed into a galloping flame and chased forward.
Crossing the corner, Bing Zhixie once again fired a burst of reinforcement. Under the light, the people at the far end were startled and ran into other passages.
Bing Zhixie and Sufina kept chasing after each other, but they found that the man was gone.
"Damn, you ran so fast!" Sufina turned into a human form from the flames and fell down.
Bing Zhixie asked: "Did you see anything just now?"
"A woman, and she was not wearing any clothes." Sufina affirmed.
In the sewer, two huge rats poked their heads out of the distance, glaring at them warily. A flame ignited in Bing Zhixie's palm, frightening the rats away and illuminating the surrounding area. He and Sufina looked forward along the roads on both sides of the sewer, and came to a crossroads. One side was blocked by an iron gate and showed no signs of damage, but the other two sides were open.
“Oops, the map is destroyed.” Sufina brought a self-drawn sewer sketch, but the pursuit just now caused the non-fire-proof sketch to be burned (her clothes are fire-proof to a certain extent) ).
The two of them did not rashly choose a path to pursue.
Bingzhixie said: "Teacher, do you think the man who just ran away was faster than we could chase him?"
Sufina thought about it for a moment and said, "It seems not."< br>
With fire burning in his palm, Bing Zhixie looked around his head, then took a few dozen steps back, and suddenly found blood on the ground.
Sophina squatted aside and looked at it: "The blood is dried, but it is very new. It should have been left two or three days ago. Is it the blood of a mouse?"
Bing Zhixie pointed and said: "There are not many blood stains on the ground, and there are no traces of movement. If an animal or magical beast is injured, there should be more than this blood, and there will be moving blood traces."
" Maybe the mouse was injured and jumped into the water?"
Bing Zhixie stood up and looked around again. Some of the culverts extending from above were still flowing with water. Bing Zhixie walked to the mouth of a ditch and looked at it. He knocked on the wall with the handle of his dagger, jumped to the opposite side and looked at several ditch mouths in succession. He came back and said, "There is a mechanism here. The relief at the mouth of this ditch was twisted by someone." Pass." He pointed to the mouth of the canal in front of him where no water was flowing.
Sophina was startled: "Are you sure?"
Bing Zhixie did not explain much, but held the relief at the mouth of the canal with both hands and twisted it. With the help of Sufina, Next, the relief was indeed twisted 180 degrees.
Then a wall not far from the blood stain made a dull sound and rumbled up.
Sofina was greatly surprised. She stood at the entrance of the secret passage and looked inside, then turned around and said, "How did you know there was a mechanism here?"
Bing Zhixie said: "The entrance of the passage The relief carvings depict four monsters. In fact, these are not monsters, but the totems of the four gods in the Hero myth. They are the skins in charge of light. Yusi, Sakuya who controls the darkness, Erashik who controls the sky, and Gilga who controls the earth. "
"I didn't expect you even knew this." Before reading the information obtained from the library. Sufina had never even heard of the name of the ancient city of Shiloh. She only found out the names of these four gods after reading the sewer information.
Bing Zhixie pointed to the relief at the mouth of the ditch and said: "This belief in gods is very unpopular, and not many people know about it. I just looked at several drainage outlets nearby, and all the reliefs have these four figures carved on them. There are two gods, but the relief of this drainage outlet is different. This relief has the totems of the sky, Eraseke, earth, Gilga, and light, Piyos, but there is no god totem of darkness, Zokua. The representative is the ancient evil god - Atien Stirga. In addition, according to the tradition of Hero mythology, the four gods are in charge of the four directions at the same time, so when arranged, the sky god is on the top, the earth god is on the bottom, and the dark god is on the left. The God of Light is on the right. But before this relief was twisted, the sky, Elashik, that should have been at the top, was upside down, so it must have been moved."
Sufina was so shocked that she couldn't speak. There was such a drainage outlet every ten meters in this ancient sewer. There were so many in the entire sewer that she couldn't even count them. When she first came in, she also observed the reliefs on the drainage outlet, but she didn't notice these details at all. She didn't expect that Bing Zhixie in front of her...
Bing Zhixie took the lighting from Sufina's hand. Jingshi looked into the secret passage and saw a lot of blood on the ground. There were also dust and footprints. He raised his hand and said, "Come on, the person just now must have ran inside. Let's go in and have a look."
Sofina followed behind and looked at his thin body. Looking from behind, I realized that he was really not simple. He actually knew so many things at such a young age!
There was the sound of water in front. Bing Zhixie walked to a T-shaped intersection and saw a two-meter-wide ditch. But the water flowing there was not sewer water, but more like underground river water. The water quality was relatively clear. , and small fish.
Suddenly, a dark shadow lurking in the dark suddenly rushed towards him. Bing Zhixie felt the fishy wind coming towards him and turned sideways, just in time to avoid it.
"It's Du Yachu!" Sufina raised her hand and burned it with a ball of flame.
Du Yachu has shiny black fur all over his body, his eyes reflect white light under the light, a wide mouth with more than a hundred sharp teeth, four dark orange fin-like claws, and his body is about the size of a female lion. So big. It likes coolness and moisture, hates light and is arrogant, so it immediately pounces on Bing Zhixie as soon as it sees the light. After being burned by the fire, Du Yachu screamed in pain, rolled into the ditch, and ran away at high speed.
Sophina said: "The appearance of Du Yachu was not accompanied by the sneak attack by the mysterious man just now. It seems that he was not the guardian of that man. The underground undercurrents here are complicated, that is, they came in from the outside. . ”
There were traces of blood trailing along the ditch, which was in the same direction as Du Yachu’s escape just now, which was upstream. The two of them walked forward following the blood stains, and soon came to a large square pool. Shadows swam in the water, including big fish and the figure of Du Yachu. Its head was above the water and its eyes were exposed like a crocodile, staring at the two people on the shore. However, it did not attack as easily as before and became more cautious.
Sufina stood on the shore of the pool and fired two fireballs towards the opposite side. The fireballs flew across the water and bloomed at the end of the pool. The firelight illuminated the entire surrounding area. There wasn't much near the pool. There were roads on both sides to get past, and there was a dark doorway on the opposite side. However, as soon as the firelight shone, things jumped onto the shore one after another in the pool. Before the firelight disappeared, they could see clearly that they were algae-green toads the size of wine barrels. There were more than ten or twenty of them.
“It’s a green algae frog.” Bing Zhixie said.
Green algae frogs are not uncommon and can usually be seen on the shore of the pond. You can often see it around the imperial capital. This guy is green, with green scales and whiskers on his head. His body is always covered with parasites, which makes people extremely uncomfortable to look at. And they are very toxic, so people tend to stay away from them.
Recently, a green algae frog was squatting on the ground, the loose eardrum on its chin dragging to the ground. Two turquoise glass-like eyes looked at the two people dully. Motionless, like a sculpture.
The roads on both sides were occupied by green algae frogs. Sufina said: "Fly over the pool."
"Yeah." Bing Zhixie jumped up and flew over the pool, with Sufina following closely behind.
Du Yachu in the water followed them like a shadow, his eyes always watching them. Suddenly, it jumped up from the pool, opened its mouth and bit into Bing Zhixie's abdomen. This sound disturbed the green algae frogs around them, and they puffed up their cheeks and sprayed out venom, aiming at Bing Zhixie and Bing Zhixie above the pool.
“Ha!” Bing Zhixie’s eyes were cold and he was already on guard. He waved a cold light from his fingertips, and a thin ice wall suddenly formed on all sides to block the venom. At the same time, Sufina's right hand ignited a raging flame again, and pressed it on the top of Du Yachu's bite. With a cry, the powerful flames poured down, burning Du Yachu thoroughly in an instant, and there was smoke in his eyes, nose, and mouth. When the fire comes out, the whole body is like red-hot iron.
This time Du Yachu died without even making a cry. The body fell into the water and stirred up bursts of white smoke, which soon attracted schools of fish to compete for food.
"I didn't hurt it, but it actually wanted to die on its own." Sufina and Bing Zhixie landed on the opposite side safely. Seeing that there were still blood stains on the ground, Bing Zhixie went inside the door. She was happy with the crystal lamp in her hand and activated her magic power. The light emitted by the crystal in the lamp became stronger and stronger, but the crystal was consumed faster.
After Sufina stepped into the door, she looked around: "What kind of place is this?"
The back of the door is very wide, like a palace hall. There are several thick pillars in the hall, some of which are damaged. collapse. There are stones and debris scattered on the ground, some of which are fragments of sculptures, some of which are vases, and from time to time there are a few piles of crystal fragments. Looking up, it should be a crystal chandelier that fell and was broken.
The entire hall was once carefully decorated, with carefully painted patterns on the walls and floors, but the color has become gray and difficult to distinguish. I don’t know how many years have passed. There is a large square black mark in the middle of the hall, which should be the mark left by the decayed carpet. There are traces of dragging on the mark. There is a stone high-backed chair in the middle, and a person is sitting on the chair.
"It's Bobby! Why is she here?" Sufina ran over.
Bobby is dead, with marks of being bitten on his body. There is a sword stuck in his chest, nailed to the stone chair. The style of the sword is consistent with the silver-white armor on Bobby's body. It should be her My own sword.
Bingzhixie said: "She appeared here fully armed, but she still died, which shows that the person who killed her had some strength."
Sofina said: "I don't know Bobby's strength, but he can be a treasurer." Lan Ting's senior teacher should not be bad."
Bing Zhixie said: "She should have come down here by herself and then been killed. Kill. But what is the secret of the sewers of the college? Why would anyone come here?"
Sofina shook her head: "I don't know much."
The two of them checked around the hall. After looking around, I found that there were three roads behind the hall, two roads leading to each room, and a large staircase extending downward in the middle.
Sufina returned to the hall and met Bing Zhixie and said: "There were people living here many years ago. This is probably part of the underground city of the ancient city of Hero."
"Should we move on?"< br>
“We’re all here. I’d really like to see what’s next. The other person hasn’t been caught yet.”
