"You're amazing to me! Guru! Colonde looked at the dark passage and grinned widely. He was genuinely surprised, and didn't mean anything else.

"Lu Xi, have you been here before?" Artoria also showed a curious look, but she quickly shook her head: "But you also said that you are coming to Virginia for the first time, and naturally it is impossible to climb Atlas Mountain." ”

In the mind of the knight princess, it seems that there has never been a concept of Lu Xi fooling herself, and the latter was immediately moved when she heard it.

In such a crystal transparent mood, his dark and rotten heart was suddenly revealed, in order to alleviate such entanglement, Lu Xi could only hold back a smile and said, "What should we do now?" Is it to move on? ”

"There are not only demons on the holy mountain of the dignified Nord, but also the altar of the demon god, and finally such a suspicious secret passage has come, it must not be left alone, of course it is necessary to move on!" Artoria said without hesitation, "I am the Nord princess, and I am obligated to find out the truth. ”

Isn't it your duty to find Valhalla and go to the trial of the Nord Ancestors in Songjiadetongguò?

Lu Xi showed a crying and laughing expression.

"Lu Xi, don't you think so?"

"If you want to ask me...... I'd rather ask everyone to wait here for a while, and wait until the Heavenly Dome Sanctuary and the Marquis's reinforcements arrive. Things are getting weirder and weirder now, and there are only a few of us who can't cope with emergencies at all. ”

"Every northern man can deal with ten southerners, five orcs, and three demons!" Faos said coldly.

This kind of talk is enough to keep yourself cheered up. But don't use it as a basis for judgment. Lu Xi responded casually, and then looked at Artoria again: "But." It's still you who make the decision. I said I would follow you to the end. ”

"This ......" Artoria looked at Lu Xi, looking a little hesitant. Finally, she bowed her head with an inaudible voice, and was about to say something, when a shuddering roar suddenly burst out of the passage. The sound of the wind flowing through the secret passage should have been cold, but the roar was like the flames of the abyss, turning the cold air into a heat wave on the lava sea, and roasting everyone's skin with pain.

This feeling only lasted for less than a second, and soon the entire stone hall returned to its usual coldness, but everyone knew it. This is by no means a delusion.

"The scream of the snow monster can't be this sound!" Colonde Road.

"It can't be a white ghost!" The mercenary woman had already taken the shield and javelin behind her back, and she was arguably the most experienced hunter in the audience: "There is no beast or monster on the snow that can roar like this!" ”

"Let's move on! I can't let these demons disturb the eternal sleep of the ancestors! Artoria looked at Lu Xi with a hopeful gaze, but her unquestioning tone had actually made a decision.

Lu Xi shrugged helplessly, but did not object. His right hand subconsciously rested on the holster of the armed belt around his waist, and his heart was finally a little more stable, and his left hand made a forward gesture: "Then it's still the same, Anji explores the way!" Prepare for the battle! ”

Sure enough, when everyone walked into this one story high in a state of vigilance. In the passage, which can accommodate several people side by side, the surrounding scenery gradually changes from natural to artificial. The shape of the passage ahead is becoming more and more regular, and the four walls are inlaid with blurred stones, almost all weathered to make it difficult to see. But it's still there. There were no candlesticks or oil lamps around the walls, but the gaps in the stone bricks shone with a silvery blue glow, giving the ancient road hidden deep in the mountains a dreamlike color.

That's moonshine moss.

If it were a dark elf from underground, it would not have been surprised by such a sight. In that darkness. In the damp and cold underground world, there are only such inconspicuous small plants. It is the only chance for the inhabitants of the underground to obtain a natural light source.

"Take a closer look at the architectural style in the ruins of this passage. There are quite a few drow elves in the style. Lu Xi looked at a stone pillar that had fallen to the ground, the carvings on it had been eroded by time, but he could still feel the strong and strange Gothic aesthetic style.

To put it bluntly, only the dark elves who live in the barren underground, who do not see the sun all year round, and whose basic right to life is threatened at any time, have such a tendency to self-destruct, and only a nation with such a tendency to self-destruction can create an aesthetic style so similar to the Gothic style of another world.

"Could it be that this ruin was built by the Drow elves?" Colonde said in a slight voice.

"How is it possible, there has never been such a thing in the literature of the Imperial Library." It was Fran who spoke. As Artoria's personal female officer, she not only takes care of the princess's daily life, but naturally has a lot of transactional work to deal with, and it seems that she has received a very systematic education.

"But the empire has only been established for a few hundred years, and this ruin looks like a thousand years."

I have to admit that the words that rough people say many times are particularly reasonable, and Fran is speechless for a moment.

Why is there an ancient altar in the style of the Drow Elves on Atlas Mountain, in fact, there is no room for everyone to continue to worry about such a question. As the end of the passage drew nearer, another roar rang out, very close to everyone. The lava-like heat swept over again, and a blazing fire exploded around the corner of the passage, instantly covering the dim silver light of the moonlight moss.

Get ready for battle! Artoria's face was unmoved, but without saying a word, she gave command with gestures.

As soon as everyone held their weapons in their hands, a huge shadow flew out from around the corner...... Or rather, it fell out.

That thing had a head and limbs, and at first glance it should be a human giant about two meters long, wide and fat, but when it hit the ground, it made a loud "clang" sound, and the metal parts suddenly splashed and scattered. If you look closely, it's clearly a hook-mounted puppet that has been broken up. A small nut flew very far and rolled all the way to Lu Xi. I picked it up, but the texture of my hand was as light as a feather, and then looking at the beautiful silver luster, Lu Xi immediately judged its material.

Mithril ......

It seems that a long, long time ago, Lu Xi once said that his biggest dream was to have four puppets, one Mithril, one pure gold, one Star Iron, and one Oz Steel...... Of course, he knew that it was a joke that was particularly unfunny.

But the problem now is that there are really big dogs who use such precious sacred metal as puppets as cannon fodder troops!

The more important problem is that such a noble puppet flew out and fell to pieces in front of him.

If it was in normal times, Lu Xi would definitely not hesitate to go up and collect the parts of this puppet, even if it was sold as scrap iron, it would be enough to buy a townhouse in the ring of Elichar. But is there any such margin?

Artoria raised the Sword of Victory as if she were facing a great enemy, her dark green pupils staring tightly around the corner, and she looked nervous for the first time since she had ascended the mountain.

Not only her, but Lu Xi could also feel the terrifying sense of oppression coming from the side of the passage, and that aura should belong to an individual whose strength far exceeded his own, even among the high-level demons, he was also a strong person.

And there's more than one......

"I thought there was only one Baror Flame Demon. If there is only one head, there is still a way, but I never thought that ......" Lu Xi shook his head with a wry smile and took a deep breath, his nasal cavity was filled with not only cold air, but also pungent sulfur heat.

"So we're not the only one here!" The first to sound was a charming and bewitching female voice. Judging from the timbre alone, it should be a peerless enchantress who can make a dozen and a half otaku bleed to death with a single look, but the voice doesn't sound loud, but it instantly resounds throughout the passage, as if the red lips are whispered to everyone's ears.

For this reason, when the upper body of a young woman with red lips and white teeth, a clever smile, a peach blossom face, apricot eyes with spring, and a proud peak came out from behind the wall in the corner, the breath of a person became short, not because of the color soul grant, but because of fear and nervousness, and the weapon in her hand was held tighter.

The woman seemed to be very distressed by everyone's incomprehensible expression, and shook her head with a helpless smile: "Oh, oops, it's not a visitor, it's the host." ”

The woman suddenly leaned down and swam forward in a strange posture, revealing her long, black and thick snake-like lower body covered with fine scales, as well as eight snow-white and elegant lotus arms. It's a pity that these slender arms, which make all women envious and jealous, each hold a murderous Ugin weapon.

The ultimate evolutionary form of the snake demon, it is said that only one eight-armed snake demon can appear for every thousand-headed snake demon!

Of course, just like all bosses will appear in the finale, when the snake demon climbed along the four walls of the passage with a playful smile and looked at everyone from a low to zero level, a huge body more than three meters tall, with dark red skin and bat wings on its back appeared in front of everyone in stride. Compared to the abyss demon refining, the face of this huge monster can still vaguely see the human-like facial features, but the eyes seem to have been covered by lava, the nostrils breathe not air but blazing flames, and the sheep-like horns are engraved with golden-red demon patterns.

This is the messenger of the abyss, the purveyor of calamity, the reaper of souls, the true nightmare of mortal beings in the war of enlightenment. Ordinary people just felt the breath of the other party from afar, and they couldn't resist the trembling and fear that came from the depths of their souls.

In the ancient Elven language, they were called "Ballow", which means calamity. (To be continued.) )
