Chapter 601: I Repent
"My lord, I feel that something is wrong." Ed walked past the guide and walked over to the Demon Hunter, whispering, "I don't know if it's my delusion, I always feel like someone is watching us." ”
"Shh Xu Yichen made a silent gesture, he also had a feeling of being watched, but he didn't find the source of his gaze along the way.
He had already found four assimilated human corpses along the way, and all but the first one was well preserved, and the other three had all disappeared in half.
Some leaned against the rock wall, if it weren't for the exposed half with distinct facial features, Xu Yichen even thought it was just a natural coincidence.
Others seemed to be swallowed up by the earth, leaving only their chests above the ground, and their expressions were hideous, as if they were trying to crawl out.
These corpses were scattered by Xu Yichen using the Alpha Law Seal in the air, and were not found by others.
It was impossible to distinguish the previous clothes of these four people, and Xu Yichen could not determine the identity of the other party, so he could only confirm that these people were not members of the Crucible Roaring Knights.
The uniform footsteps turned into the main mine at the previous fork, and did not enter the pit of Viscount Amos, and it seemed that Count Modric's goal was clear.
He had to speed himself up, but the cramped space and thin oxygen made the Demon Hunter start to feel tightness in his chest and shortness of breath.
The other survivors were already sweating profusely, and if this went on for a maximum of two hours, even if there were no enemies, they would lose most of their mobility.
"Tell me about this big mine, what kind of place do you think it is?" Xu Yichen took the initiative to speak and moved up a topic, otherwise the boundless darkness and fear would crush the survivors before their physical strength was exhausted.
"For me, it's the vault of Storm's End, and the whole city is tied to the mine." Ed Williams spoke first, "The Great Mine existed before we came here, and it was the Greenskins who first discovered it. ”
"That's right, sometimes when we're digging new tunnels, we find tunnels underground that have been mined a long time ago, and they've been sealed off a long time ago." The bearded man jumped off the back of the young transcendental, and said weakly, "Sometimes some green-skinned bones are found inside, most of these mines have not been mined, and I don't know why those greenskins have blocked the mines." ”
"Maybe it's because they're afraid of what's buried underneath that we've dug too deep and we've been retributed." The guide who led the way interjected, "The old miners say that there is something down here, and that whisper is heard in the ears of every tunnel dug down. ”
"Some people say that there is a dying dwarven kingdom down here, which is why the production on this mine is so large, but we have dug down for nearly a hundred and fifty meters and found nothing." Bearded explained to the Demon Hunter, "I've never heard of dwarves living in such depth. ”
"I believe your earlier statement that the Brotherhood will sacrifice the entire city to the evil god in pursuit of eternal life." The bearded man said dissatisfiedly: "Those great nobles already have everything except immortality, and I am not surprised that they do this. ”
Ed smiled awkwardly, if it weren't for his travels, he would have had the opportunity to join the Brotherhood and be a member of it.
"My lord, turn right at the fork in front, and the second hole is the mine where we usually dispose of the corpses of slaves." The guide broke the awkward atmosphere.
Along the way, Xu Yichen silently counted, they turned four corners and encountered three forks in the road.
There are quite a few tunnels, but they have been dug forward for a dozen meters, or even a few meters deep, and they are thrown there after it is found that there is no value for mining.
This makes the entire underground space like a spider's web, extremely complex, and almost impossible to move without a reliable guide.
This greatly surprised Xu Yichen, originally he thought that due to the limitation of productivity, the area of this mining area would not be too large, but these noble mine owners bought a large number of spell scrolls and hired spellcasters to open mines, which was really not inferior to the post-industrial civilization in terms of efficiency.
With two industrial spells, Fossil to Mud and Mud to Stone, digging tunnels and preventing landslides couldn't be easier.
Before the guide could say that the fork in the road, Xu Yichen had already faintly smelled the stench that belonged to Chaos, which was so strong that it was unique among the Chaos Demons, and it was a lackey who believed in Nurgle.
"Be careful, you wait here, and if the flame goes out, follow the way you came." The demon hunter was silent for a moment: "If any of you can go back alive by then, tell Guo Yunfeng to run." ”
Xu Yichen swiped his fingers across the hard stone wall, the pre-cut wound allowing the blood of the demon hunter to smear on the wall along the route he had taken.
The red blood instantly turned into a silver flame, which began to burn slowly on the stone wall.
Pure Fire uses chaos as firewood and will as firewood.
As long as there is chaos around, as long as Xu Yichen has not died in battle, it will not be extinguished.
Countless times, this silver flame has become a battle flag belonging to Xu Yichen, burning brightly.
Turning the corner, the whole tunnel suddenly became clearer, almost more open than the main mine road, and in the firelight, the surrounding rock walls were covered with pale green rotten flesh and blood vessels.
Fishy yellow eyes were on the top of the demon hunter's head and feet, watching this uninvited guest left and right.
"Smack!" An eye the size of a basin that hadn't had time to open was shattered by Xu Yichen's foot, making the entire tunnel seem to shrink.
Less than ten meters away in front of Xu Yichen, an obsidian figure more than three meters high, half of its body was smashed, although it was made of obsidian, the flesh and bones belonging to human beings were exposed inside, and the obsidian was adhered to, making the entire lower body appear in a state of broken threads.
One of the figure's right feet had been dragged into a hole less than a meter in diameter, as if something was dragging it downward, and the figure's hands were struggling to grasp the rotten flesh and veins around it.
The silent battle between the two sides lasted for an unknown amount of time, and large ravines had appeared around the figures, and the dirt and stones under the carrion had been turned out.
After spotting the Demon Hunter, the Obsidian Man silently opened and closed his mouth, and his carved eyes suddenly burst into bloody tears.
The mouth shape says, "I repent, kill me!" ”
