Chapter 160 A Sword
Seeing these screaming red-skinned monsters, the two of them immediately reacted.
This is the monster from before looking for help...
I have to say, they are really lucky.
If it weren’t for the tai chi fish in the river, and if it wasn’t for the fish roe that can heal injuries, they would now be two useless people who couldn’t walk or fight. Facing this group of monsters, they would have no resistance at all. With such strength, even if he could kill a few of them desperately, the final outcome would be to be captured and used as food rations.
But for now, hehe.
Fu Qingzhou was made angry by the monster before, not to mention Qiu Chan, she almost became the monster's dinner, and besides, the atmosphere is so good now...
"I don't know what's good or bad. "
The shame on her face turned into deep anger in the blink of an eye, she jumped up suddenly, waved her right hand, and swung out the dark soft sword from her waist, and rushed forward quickly. !
It can be seen that her inner breath has not recovered much, and her sword-swinging movements are much slower and weaker than in her heyday, but again, she is a fifth-level warrior after all, and it is simply unnecessary to fight these monsters who only know how to punch. Too easy...
In the blink of an eye, the soft sword sliced open the necks of the two monsters.
"Qiu Chan, be careful!" Fu Qingzhou only reacted at this moment: "Their blood is highly poisonous!"
After that, he also set up his long bow and fired several arrows. Come out!
Qiu Chan heard his words but didn't care at all.
“What kind of bullshit is so poisonous? Their blood won’t even splash on my body!”
She kicked a monster away, and struck its vital point with her sword before it was kicked away. Those monsters' poisonous blood really couldn't touch her at all.
However, Fu Qingzhou's arrows all missed...
Without him, before the arrows arrived, they had already been kicked by Qiu Chan and rolled like gourds. Gone.
Fu Qingzhou: "..."
More than a dozen red-skinned monsters were killed at the moment. They were like fierce wild dogs in front of Qiu Chan. Several were killed. Then she tried to run away in fear, but Qiu Chan was so angry, how could she be escaped by them?
She picked up the sword and chased after her, yelling at the same time: "Stand still, I'll give you a quick death! Otherwise, I'll chop you up alive!"
Fu Qingzhou smiled helplessly and packed up his arrows. Followed.
The monsters ran away in fear, Qiu Chan followed behind and struck each one with a sword. Fu Qingzhou could see that even though she was angry now, she was still very smart and killed them all without one breath. It is to keep a distance that is neither too far nor too close, and kill one or two monsters from time to time.
She wants these monsters to lead them to the monster group.
Going to find the lair of these monsters is not to go on a killing spree, but to find a way out.
This ghost place is like a maze. Although we have found an underground river, we may not be able to get out by following the underground river. There may be other clues in the monster's lair.
So the two of them drove the monsters away like sheep, and gradually went deeper into the underground cave.
"Be careful."
Fu Qingzhou followed Qiu Chan and whispered: "The old guy in me said that these red demons were difficult to deal with hundreds of years ago. They were killing people everywhere and it was difficult to protect them. Is there anyone more powerful in their tribe?"
Qiu Chan bit her lip and glanced at him, her eyes watery: "Are you worried about the little girl?"
Fu Qingzhou: "...can you please stop doing this? I'm scared."
Qiu Chan was furious: "I'm giving you face, right?"
Fu Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right. Yes, I’m more used to it this way.”
Qiu Chan: “…”
She was on the verge of tears and extremely sad. How could such a beautiful young girl become such a loser in the eyes of others? A shrew?
She was confused and sad, and she killed a monster that fell in front of her with another sword. She sneered at the monster running in front of her: "Escape? Keep running away? Let's see how far you can escape!"
The monster in front is running away and the two people are chasing behind, making them look like demons.
After a while, several monsters were killed, but Fu Qingzhou discovered something abnormal.
"Qiu Chan, have you noticed that there seems to be traces of someone's activity here?"
He suddenly asked.
Qiu Chan was startled: "Where is it? I didn't see it."
She killed monsters all the way, unlike Fu Qingzhou who always maintained careful observation.
Fu Qingzhou led her to the side and pointed at the stone wall: "Look."
The two of them looked intently and saw that there seemed to be hidden scratches on the stone wall, but these scratches were very thin. It is shallow, and the cave is humid and the walls are covered with a layer of water mist. It is difficult to see it unless you look carefully.
Wiping off the water mist, the scratches became clear.
"It still doesn't work."
The carvings connected together are these four words.
Fu Qingzhou and Qiu Chan looked at each other with joy on their faces.
There is someone here!
It’s just that this place is so close to where the red-skinned monsters live, but there are actually people living there?
"Don't worry, we're here. We're probably not far from the monsters' lair. Since we're worried about the danger in their lair, we won't rush to chase them. We'll first investigate if there are any other engravings."
< br>Fu Qingzhou said softly: "Whether this person lived here before or is still here now, it will be of great benefit to us in finding a way out."
Qiu Chan nodded.
The two stopped chasing the monster and allowed the monster to flee far away.
They wrote down the characters respectively, and for a while the fluorescent light in the cave flourished, illuminating the stone wall. In this photo, countless carvings appeared faintly!
They spread to another corridor that was different from the direction in which the monsters fled, but most of the characters they wrote were a bit confusing.
“What’s the point? What’s the point of this?”
“As an old man, if you are determined to reach a thousand miles, you will definitely succeed! You will definitely succeed!”
“ It’s so sad! It’s so sad!”
"The world is ruthless, but I refuse to accept it!"
"I don't believe it... there must be a way..."
Qiu Chan frowned: "It's so weird. The person who left the message is sometimes lonely, sometimes hesitant and ambitious, What on earth is he doing? "
Fu Qingzhou had some vague thoughts: "Is he doing some research?"
In the many novels, movies and other works he has read in the past, There is this kind of Frankenstein who hides alone in a dark place and conducts research. Sometimes he is ecstatic when he achieves some small achievements, but most of the time it is just an endless cycle of despair.
The two of them followed the carved traces and after a while, they actually saw more and more traces of human life.
There are cloths, stone bowls scattered on the ground, some hardened food, and some stone utensils...
At this point, the emotions expressed in the handwriting have become Much gentler.
"I will let them know that I am right."
"I have made quite a progress today. I am very happy. I will reward you with three taels of rice."
"All this must have a source..."
"Source, source..."
Judging from the handwriting, the person writing at this moment is still full of hope, and he should be really doing it What research.
Qiu Chan also pondered: "Looking at the appearance of these foods and utensils, I'm afraid it happened a long time ago."
Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes: "What I'm curious about is, this place It’s not far from where the monsters are. These monsters know how to use utensils and probably don’t have much choice in what they eat. But looking at how big the dust is, it seems like those monsters never come here.”
"Because they are afraid of this person?" Qiu Chan asked.
Fu Qingzhou glanced at her and smiled: "Maybe he respects this person."
Qiu Chan raised her eyebrows slightly.
The two of them continued along the corridor and found a series of caves where people had obviously lived.
A tattered wooden bed, a broken stone table, a large number of rotten and moldy clothes, and countless papers and books that were damp, moldy and unrecognizable.
There are no more carvings on the wall here, just some deep and shallow orthographic marks, which look like they are recording the days. However, those marks were smooth at first, but then became completely chaotic and blurry. It is impossible to judge how long he has lived here. .
"A very simple life... It's just a pity that the contents of these books and papers are no longer identifiable."
Fu Qingzhou frowned and said: "What on earth is he studying?"
With that said, the two of them walked towards the "side room" in the other corner of the cave.
As soon as I stepped through the corner, I saw a sword hanging in the center of the cave. The sword was bound by iron chains, only the simple hilt was exposed. Those thick rusty iron chains were fixed in the cave. Every corner at the top is like a spider web, firmly hanging the sword.
"This is?"
Fu Qingzhou and Qiu Chan looked at each other again and asked in unison: "His research object?"
"What a strange feeling..."
The smoker, who had been silent for a long time, spoke, and his voice sounded beside the two of them: "Why does this thing seem familiar to me?"
"Oh?" Fu Qingzhou was surprised: "Do you recognize this sword?"
The smoker's tone was extremely confusing: "I don't recognize it. I can't remember where I have seen this thing, but it feels familiar. It's so weird. How could I feel this way?"
Fu Qingzhou He mocked: "That's not surprising. How could you remember everything after living for hundreds of years?"
"No, no, no..." The smoker still muttered: "How could I not remember..."
>
Qiu Chan interrupted his soliloquy: "Hey, tell me, is it dangerous?"
"Dangerous?"
After the smoker was silent for a moment, he whispered: "There shouldn't be any. This thing shouldn't have any danger, but I don't know why I just don't like it. Why? Why exactly..."
Fu Qingzhou He glanced at Qiu Chan: "Since there is no danger..."
"Then let's go and have a look." Qiu Chan nodded.
But just as they took a step forward, they suddenly felt something extremely strange.
It felt like... there seemed to be an eye on the sword, and it suddenly looked straight at it.
Of course there are no eyes on the sword, but the intuition of a practitioner is not wrong. The two of them stopped at the same time, both thinking of being cautious and taking a step back.
But...
It's too late.
As soon as the feeling of being watched arose, some kind of wave invisible to the naked eye swayed in the air with the ancient sword as the center.
It came very quickly, and it hit Fu and Qiu in an instant.
The next moment, both of them rolled their eyes at the same time, fainted, and lay straight on the ground.
Thanks to book friend xsjwigrd for the reward!
