Chapter 165: Tomb Demon Shadow
"Boom, boom, boom!!!"
The earth cracked and the ground collapsed. The next moment, the three of them fell directly into the dark abyss.
Duanmuhuai's reaction was quick. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Old Bente with one hand and Gu Leiya with the other. Then the jetpack behind him immediately activated, and the airflow was instantly sprayed out to curb everyone's further fall. Then he slowly fell to the ground.
"Boom!!"
The heavy power armor made contact with the ground and made a low sound. Then Duanmuhuai let go of his hands and let old Bente and Gu Leiya stand on the ground.
It was only then that Gu Leiya seemed to realize what she had done, and she stood up in a hurry and apologized endlessly.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Knight, I'm sorry...it's my fault...!"
"Well, this isn't just your fault either."
Duanmu Huai looked around and replied casually.
"It seems like these damn rats have hollowed out the bottom a long time ago, otherwise it wouldn't be like this."
"That's right, mouse!!"
After hearing this, Old Bente immediately came back to his senses.
"Where's the mouse?"
"Probably all of them are dead."
Duanmuhuai is well aware of the power of Gu Leiya's attack just now. When Gu Leiya burst into flames, his power armor alerted the police - this thing is a special equipment for space warfare. Logically speaking, It is impossible for ordinary flames to cause damage to Duanmu Huai's power armor. As a result, Gu Leiya called the police just now... Well, then it is estimated that these rats will die without even ashes left.
But soon, under the illumination of the searchlight, Duanmuhuai discovered something new.
"Huh? It seems like this place is quite interesting."
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai raised his head. Following his movements, he saw the white light of the searchlight shining directly on the wall in front of him. Soon, under the illumination of the searchlight, everyone could see vaguely carved stone walls and a half-collapsed door...
"Mr. Knight, what is this?"
"All in all, it was definitely not built by those rats."
Duanmuhuai stepped forward and looked at it carefully. Then he reached out and opened the iron door blocking the entrance of the passage, revealing the dark passage inside.
"Okay, let's go in and have a look."
Under the leadership of Duanmu Huai, a group of three people walked into the passage in front of them.
Fortunately, this passage is quite spacious, at least enough for Duanmu Huai to walk straight in it. Under the illumination of the searchlight, everyone can see that there are several rectangular potholes on both sides of the passage, and in the pits In the cave, there are numerous bones.
"It seems that this should be an underground cemetery."
Duanmuhuai looked around and made a judgment, then he looked at Old Bente.
"Did you know there is an underground cemetery here?"
"...I have heard that there is indeed an Ancient Nod cemetery near the town, but no one has ever been there, because there are usually undead wandering around that kind of place..."
Having said this, Old Bente also looked around tremblingly, not daring to say anything.
"Well, that means you built your own cemetery on someone else's grave."
Duanmu Huai made a casual comment and continued walking forward. Old Bente and Gu Leiya followed behind him without daring to breathe.
It has to be said that this underground cemetery is indeed very large. In the holes on both sides of the corridor, you can see numerous bones and even some skinny mummies everywhere. They are fully armed, holding big swords in their hands, standing in the groove at the corner of the corridor, as if they are living guards, still guarding this cold world of death.
"Mr. Knight, where are we going?"
While looking around warily, Gu Leiya asked in a low voice. Duanmu Huai, on the other hand, looked forward without looking back and answered.
"Look carefully, there must be some secret in this underground cemetery, and I don't believe this is just a coincidence. There must be some kind of connection."
"That's it.........ugh!!"
However, before Gu Leiya could finish her words, a strange feeling suddenly came over her, which immediately made her body stiffen.
"Mr. Knight, please stop grabbing my tail!"
"I'm in front of you, how can I grab your tail?"
"Huh?"
At this moment, Gu Leiya also realized. Indeed, Duanmu Huai had been walking in front of her, so the one who just grabbed the tip of her tail was......
Thinking of this, Gu Leiya turned around tremblingly, and then she saw a mummy slowly walking out of the groove. Its two eyes were glowing with blue light, and it was holding a big sword in its hand, coldly. Staring at the intruder in front of him... "Strange, monster————!!"
Accompanied by a scream, the next moment I saw Gu Leiya's fat and long tail suddenly swung out with force, hitting the undead mummy directly. I saw the mummy's body was directly broken, and it flew upside down and hit it. There was no more movement on the wall.
But this seemed to have awakened other undead souls. Soon, everyone saw undead souls sitting up from all directions. They were holding shields, axes, giant swords and long bows, and their eyes were glowing with blue light.
Seeing these undead soldiers, Duanmu Huai also sneered, and then took out the thunder hammer from behind.
"Just in time, I'm a little tired of playing haunted house games all the time. Let's do some warm-up exercises!!"
For Old Bent, tonight he had experienced all the excitement in his life. To be honest, when he was surrounded by these Nord undead, Old Bent even despaired. After all, no matter what, there are only three people on my side, and there are dozens of fully armed undead soldiers on the opposite side. No matter how you think about it, there is no way to fight.
However, the reality was completely beyond Bente's imagination.
The man in black armor, who was as tall as a giant, swung his war hammer and easily smashed the undead in front of him into pieces. And the bows and arrows shot by the Nord undead couldn't even penetrate his thick armor.
Even the girl who had been trembling before seemed to become brave now. Old Bente saw her right hand transform into a form similar to the claws of a lizard man, and was wrapped in flames and swung towards the enemy in front of her, each time. When this girl waved her right hand, the undead soldier opposite would be completely engulfed in flames.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Old Bent would never believe it. After all, he has lived for so many years and has never seen adventurers, but adventurers as powerful as them... Old Bent has really never seen them. Seen it!
"Ha!!"
Gu Leiya roared angrily, clenched her right fist and swung it towards the undead soldier in front of her. Although the opponent hurriedly raised his shield, Gu Leiya's blow easily penetrated the defense of the undead soldier and knocked him away. , turned into ashes in the flames.
"Huh..."
Seeing the last enemy fall, Gu Leiya was relieved, and at this moment, a voice came from beside her.
"How's it going? Have you calmed down?"
"Huh?"
Hearing this voice, Gu Leiya turned around and saw Duanmu Huai standing next to her with a war hammer, staring at her. When she noticed Duanmuhuai's gaze, Gu Leya couldn't help but blush and lowered her head.
"Yes, Mr. Knight...I'm really sorry. I was a little...too panicked before."
Yes, as a student of Manalia Magic Academy, Gu Leiya was not originally so afraid of ghosts, but being with Duanmu Huai did make her feel very nervous. Not to mention that there were so many things that happened to her tonight that even Gu Leiya, who was usually calm, showed her panicked side.
Especially the group of rats... Looking back now, Gu Leiya still feels hairy all over.
But I have to say that after a battle, Gu Leiya did feel that she was not as panicked as before.
"It's okay, just calm down."
Duanmuhuai nodded, reached out and patted Gu Leiya on the shoulder.
"Don't take it to heart, everyone makes mistakes, and you're just hitting the right spot, just giving us a clue."
"Yes..."
After this small episode, everyone moved forward again. However, as she walked, Gu Leiya's expression became more and more solemn.
"Mr. Knight, I smell a very strong... blood smell."
"It seems that we are on the right track."
Hearing Gu Leya's words, Duanmu Huai also clenched his war hammer, narrowed his eyes, and stared ahead vigilantly. Soon, they walked through the corridor again and arrived outside the thick stone door at the end.
The stone door in front of me is different from other doors. It looks like it is locked by some special mechanism. There are three stone rings carved with images of owls, birds and bears on the outside. There is also a three-point groove in the middle similar to where a key is placed. Obviously, if this is some kind of adventure game, then you probably need to get the key to open this strange three-ring stone door.
But Duanmuhuai didn't care about such trivial matters. He just motioned for Gu Leiya and Old Bente to move back. Then he took a few steps back and roared. The next moment, the jetpack behind Duanmuhuai exploded again, flying forward with strong airflow.
Immediately afterwards, Duanmu Huai was like an angry rhinoceros, hitting the stone door directly, and instantly smashed through the stone door!
"Boom!!!"
Duanmu Huai's force was so great that the door frame of the stone door was pulled open, and the stone door, which was dozens of centimeters thick, was directly smashed into several sections and flew into the air. At the same time, Duanmu Huai also rushed into the secret room. And the scene in front of him was completely reflected in his eyes.
In the center of the secret room, there was a crystal shining with bright red light. At this moment, it was erupting with some unknown power. Bright red thunder and lightning erupted from the center of the crystal and spread out in all directions. Around the crystal, there were several guys kneeling in black robes who looked like followers of the evil god.
These believers knelt on the floor carved with strange patterns that resembled a magic circle, chanting some kind of mantra loudly. They raised their hands, and blood poured out of their robes like running water, pouring into the patterns on the floor, forming a special pattern.
Although I don’t know what these guys are doing, it’s definitely not a good thing!
"Gulea, protect that guy, leave these bastards to me!!"
Duanmu Huai roared angrily, holding a thunder hammer in hand, and rushed straight towards the magic circle!
