Chapter 292 Alliance
Millions of tons of lake water were hovering overhead. At this moment, Lynch seemed to have witnessed the scene of the water parting in the myth of his previous life.
Just a mid-level soul-shifter with level 4 power, he can easily separate the lake water, as if he has the power to move mountains and fill the sea. If this were those high-level or even truly legendary soul-shifters, Lin Qi would even I can't imagine how powerful it would be.
How about thinking about what will happen to your death if the two mid-levels are really enemies and use these abilities on yourself after being discovered.
Lin Qi sighed, put away the distracting thoughts in his mind, and hid behind Judy... No, he bravely used his body to block Judy's danger from the no one behind him, and together they approached the mist. entrance.
The entrance of the cave is very large, at least five meters in diameter. It goes straight up and down. Along with the strong shocking force of mysterious filth, a thick smell of death floats out from the entrance of the cave.
It is indeed a tomb. With such a strong power of death, it is probably full of mysterious crises, but for Lynch, this place seems to be the most suitable stage.
Rooney followed Carl and Jenna closely, and the third one approached the entrance of the black hole. He cautiously looked back at the lake above his head and asked: "How long will it take for us to be soaked by the lake?"
< br>“Don’t worry, this is a trick, it will be fine if you stick to it for a few hours.”
Dr. Jenna has arrived at the entrance, and Carl Jones next to him raised the lantern in cooperation.
The effect is far inferior to that of the Torch of Light, but it can barely see through the fog and see clearly what's going on inside.
Just like the other side of the cliff, there is a long corridor below. The ground and walls are made of thick rocks. The wet ground reflects light under the light, and the sound of dripping water comes from the dark corridor. Came from the depths, the monotonous voice sounded particularly eerie and eerie in the darkness.
"Stop, little Carl." Dr. Jenna stopped Carl Jones's attempt to put his arm into the hole. "I'm not sure whether it's safe to enter from one side, so don't rush in."
"Let me give it a try. "
The bearded Jack whistled, and then his clothes squirmed, and a gray mouse came out of his pants, circling around his leather shoes and taking a few bites from time to time. .
[Power, wildness, ability, command]
The little mouse suddenly stood up, squeaked at Jack a few times, and then got into the hole along the edge, and its gray fur was instantly swallowed up by darkness. , only a small squeaking sound was heard quickly disappearing in the darkness.
"It doesn't seem to have any activation effect." After closing his eyes and waiting for a moment, Jack said slowly, "I didn't go too deep, but the visual inspection of the situation inside was normal. Maybe our judgment was wrong, and No need to enter from both sides at the same time.”
"Maybe?" Dr. Jenna sneered, "In this mysterious world, do you believe maybe?"
"It is indeed inappropriate." Carl Jones also said, "There is still a big difference in the souls between mice and humans. , can't be compared. But at least it can prove that there are no poisonous gases and ordinary traps. For the sake of safety, we should enter from both sides." "Let's go back to the camp first," Dr. Jenna said calmly. , "Let workers enter from both sides to set up light sources."
Hiss, how cruel, this is obviously to use ordinary workers to explore the road at their own risk, and they are simply using any means. No wonder they will be removed from the archaeological team.
In order to hide myself, I just watched like this?
While still fighting in his heart, Rooney, who was suspected of being from the Lord God Church, said slowly:
"No, one is dead and six are missing. Once an accident happens and a few more die, the workers' already tense spirits will immediately collapse and they will flee. No one will be able to help with the work then. It’s up to us how long we want to explore such a large ancient tomb, and our resistance is much higher than that of the workers. Rather than letting them die, it’s better for us to explore the path. Although it’s a bit risky, at least we can ensure that everything goes smoothly. Push forward."
Lynch has been secretly paying attention to the expressions of these people, so he noticed that Dr. Jenna's face had always been gloomy when she heard Rooney's suggestion, as if she was quite dissatisfied, but Lynch I always feel that there is something profound in her eyes. But before he could figure out the doctor's thoughts, she had already relaxed her tense expression and nodded: "Okay, if everyone agrees, then let's proceed like this, but the risk can only be borne by everyone." .”
When the risk was mentioned, the scene was somewhat silent again, but this time it quickly returned to normal. As a soul-shifter with a twisted soul, facing risks has long become a part of life.
"I will lead the team here to support the lake, and you, Carl, will be responsible for the other side of the cliff." Dr. Jenna's eyes swept across everyone's face, "The two ladies and I We are on the same road, Ms. Selene is not familiar with the tomb, we can take care of each other, you can go over there, the specific actions will be decided according to the actual situation. If you encounter any problems, send someone back to the camp to leave a message to the other group. But it must be done. Guarantee, everyone in this group will not withdraw from the tomb."
They are all experienced veterans, and no one raised any objections to this reasonable suggestion. The three men quickly withdrew from the lake and took the three men away. The ladies stayed where they were, waiting for the men's fireworks signal so that both sides could enter simultaneously.
"Actually, the risk of letting workers in is not high." Seeing that everyone else had left, Dr. Jenna suddenly sneered and shook her head, "I'm not a cold-blooded archaeological machine. Since I dare to let workers in, it means I have a lot of potential. I'm sure nothing will go wrong."
Lin Qi looked towards the cliff and responded with a half-smile: "But what if something goes wrong?"
"Pfft, it will happen. Come on, there is no archaeological activity where no one has died. We cannot regard these as reasonable losses. It is better not to lead an archaeological team, otherwise the whole team may not be able to come out.”
Lynch asked with great interest: "Did you leave the Archaeological Association because of 'reasonable wear and tear'?" "On the contrary, I have only understood the meaning of reasonable wear and tear since then." Dr. Jenna smiled sarcastically. , "It's a pity that Rooney and the others don't understand this truth. Maybe they will understand it one day in the future. Oh, I hope there is still this opportunity."
"Huh? Then why are you still Will he be expelled from the Archaeological Association? ”
"Because the accident was noticed by reporters and repeatedly published in the newspapers, the Archaeological Association had no choice but to abandon me in order not to be affected. I didn't like the association at first, so I just took this opportunity to leave, and I was able to do some cruel things at the same time. I scolded them, it was very satisfying, hahaha. In fact, I said I left, but I still maintained some contact with the association. After all, most people in this industry have some contact with the association, and so do a few of them."
< br>I didn’t see them holding the rare objects from the Archaeological Association and contacting the outside world.
Lin Qi sighed. The existing information could not confirm the identity of the other party. Although he did not dislike this woman, for the sake of his life safety, he still had to be extremely vigilant.
Otherwise, Salin's inexplicable death would be a precedent.
"Return to the association? That is definitely impossible, and there is no chance."
Hearing Lynch's question, Dr. Jenna waved her hands lazily, with a look of yearning on her face ：
"As long as I complete this task, I can earn a bright future for Louise. Then I will retire, settle down in the Rhine, live with her, and watch her grow up."
No. , are you really not feeling guilty when you say such things? And why was it that there was no warning and nothing could be done to stop it? Lin Qi was startled and quickly changed the subject: "Is that your daughter?"
"Yes, she's only a little bit older."
It was the first time that Lin Qi saw a soft smile on her face. Just as he was about to say something, a ball of colorful light suddenly exploded in the sky.
The cliff group is already in place.
The smiles on their faces disappeared at the same time. Lynch pulled Judy up, and Dr. Jenna also released a firework in response.
"Follow me, don't worry, at least there will be no problem in this section."
Dr. Jenna left a meaningful sentence, then jumped into the corridor holding a lantern, Lin Qi clenched his fists With the round fan in her hand, she pulled Judy, who was in a daze, to jump down too.
Surrounded by heavy and regular stones, the environment is cold and humid. Long corridors extend forward and back, and from time to time there are corners leading to other directions. The air was relatively normal, whether it was because the other end had been open for a few hours, or because the tomb was originally like this.
The fog here is thicker than outside. Through the light beam, it can be seen that it is pouring out from the inside. The aura of dullness and death blows in the face with the fog, making Lin Qi feel depressed.
When his eyes adjusted to the light in the corridor, Lynch found Dr. Jenna leaning against the wall, her gloved fingers gently touching the wall. Lynch also followed suit, but felt that the wall was Just rough.
“Go this way.” Jenna seemed to have figured out the direction and walked straight towards a corner.
"Huh? Do you know the road?"
"I have made some preparations. After all, I really want to complete Howard's mission for Louise's future." Jenna smiled and pointed in the direction of the cliff. , "So you don't need to stare at me. We have a common goal. There are two things you need to pay attention to now. First, some of the three of them do not want to see the ceremony completed and intend to destroy the ceremony. The person who destroyed the ceremony Method..."
Lin Qi held his breath and listened.
"Only one person can complete the real ritual, so to destroy the ritual, everyone must be killed except for the most reliable one."
Lin Qi's face was a little stiff, and this statement was credible. The degree is not low, which means that the other party may really kill everyone indiscriminately, regardless of their stance, whether they are friends or foes.
“The second thing that needs attention is that it is not only the dead who sleep here, but also the servants of Lake Dweller Glaki. They wander in the dark tombs all day long, serving their terrifying master.”
"So, we have to face the threats from the servants of Glaaki and the tomb itself outside, and we have to guard against the secret attack of one of the three people internally, and I can ensure that you are the only two who are absolutely fine. What do you think, do you want to consider joining me? Form an alliance, survive this mission together, and let the ceremony be completed smoothly?"
"Okay, as long as you really think there is nothing wrong with us." Lin Qi showed a subtle smile, feeling a little sorry." I agreed to the alliance, and I agreed on behalf of Judy. What do we need to do now?”
Jenna grabbed Lynch’s hand: “Take her with you, don’t get lost in the fog, come with me.”
