Chapter 52: The Choice of a Fork in the Road
Step by step, I rubbed it over, and the stone in my hand was held tightly by me, and I was already sweating.
I couldn't stop beating drums in my heart, and my mind was full of fierce battle scenes that might happen in a while.
Before I got closer, I swallowed dryly, and a slight gurgling sound came out of my throat, but it scared me into a cold sweat.
1。。 2。。
I meditated in my heart.
3!
Tyre!
I yelled, grabbed the rock, and jumped over it.
However, after seeing the inside of the rock, I fell into a deep stupor, and three thick black lines hung down from my forehead.
With a snap, I slammed to the ground, but my eyes were still staring straight there.
The corners of my mouth twitched, my eyelids fluttered, and my whole face seemed to freeze into an incredible expression, and it took a long time to let out an exclamation.
Nani!
In front of my eyes, on the inside of the rock, there were no adventurers, no monsters, only a severed arm with fresh bloodstains, lying there alone, holding this delicate sword in his hand, the tip of the sword grew more than two inches impartially, and it happened to be seen in my position just now.
Hey, this oolong is making trouble!
I let out a long sigh and slapped my head very unpleasantly.
Looking at this arm closely, I feel a little familiar, although the cowhide sleeves on the outside of it have been broken, but the texture is absolutely excellent, and it is matched with the knight-sized sword in its hand.
Isn't that Quincy's arm!
Before he fell, he wanted to slash me with this sword, and I said it looked a little familiar.
I gloated, squatted down, stabbed the hand holding the sword with a stone, and smiled with a sneering smile: "Aren't you a smart person, why do you have an arm left, come on, come and cut me, come on~~~"
After entertaining myself for a while, I threw away the stone in boredom, picked up the sword in my stump hand, and held the hilt of the sword, which felt good, and weighed the weight, which was a little light.
The thumb clasped the middle finger and flicked it the sword, with a crisp ding, the sound was straight and sharp, and it was made of stainless steel.
It's a luxury.
I said to myself.
Steel-made weapons are more common on the market, but they can also be expensive because they are more time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Generally, a high-quality steel longsword needs the price of at least one gold coin, and this knight's sword in my hand, whether in texture or appearance, is not of the highest grade, but it also exceeds the level of the middle grade, at least seventy silver coins.
Earned!
The knight's sword spun in a circle, slashing twice out of thin air, and listening to the sound of the whistle, I nodded with satisfaction.
The weapon is available, although it doesn't fit very well, but it's much better than hand-to-hand combat.
Holding the knight's sword, he continued to walk deeper into the corridor.
Along the way, I didn't encounter any monsters, but I couldn't be at ease.
It's been a long time since you broke into the dungeon, and no matter what level it is, even in the darkest and narrowest corners, there may be monsters, but here, why is it so calm?
Is this a dungeon or not?
If it's a dungeon, where are the monsters?
Suddenly, like obsessive-compulsive disorder, I felt inexplicable palpitations, and a feeling of loneliness and danger came over me.
It seems that this wide corridor has become oppressive because of this.
The farther I went towards the zigzag end, the tighter my brow would wrinkle and the irritability would become.
Finally, I stopped, took a deep breath, and calmed my impulsive heart.
In front of me, there is a fork in the road.
The same two openings, one on the left and one on the right, are side by side.
"Good," I sighed, rubbing my furrowed brow, "I still let me touch it." ”
Compared to this kind of fork in the road, where there is no difference between the two sides of the hole, I choose to choose one at random and go.
Without thinking about it, I stepped into the hole on the left.
The hole is not wide, barely able to walk side by side, and the roof of the cave is not high, so you can reach out and touch it.
If you encounter a monster blocking the way in this situation, it is bound to be a face-to-face hard fight, and there is no place to dodge and move.
So, I gave up my cautious stealth and gradually quickened my pace.
After walking for about an hour, I finally came to the end.
The knight's sword was thrust into the ground, and with the hilt of the sword, I wiped my sweat, and my heart finally walked out of this ghost place, and with a relieved expression, I stepped into the open space at the end.
Then, I stood in a daze with my head up, like a carved stone sculpture.
In front of him, there was a large hall, and in the center of the hall, there was a huge behemoth.
If I'm not wrong with my eyes, it's at least thirty meters tall – when lying on my stomach!
The whole body was covered with crimson scales, which shone brightly under the fluorescent light of the ceiling.
Four large claws coiled underneath him, revealing only a small section of sharp claws.
Several thick necks are entangled, each with a hideous head, a long crocodile-like mouth, and sharp fangs that protrude from the lips, and the bright red tongue is still **** on the lips from time to time, and then there are closed eyes, which can even be ignored compared to the whole skull, but in fact, it is much larger than my head.
Not far ahead, there are a pair of large nostrils, gasping regularly, and with each exhalation, bursts of black smoke will be emitted at the front of the nostrils.
The black smoke would slowly dissipate before its sharp kiss, leaving only a choking smell.
Suddenly, I felt something itchy in my throat, and no matter how hard I tried to restrain it, I couldn't suppress it, and just as I turned around to sneak back to cough, I finally couldn't suppress it, and let out a violent cough.
In an instant, a layer of cold sweat formed on my back.
For I heard the behemoth behind me let out a low roar, like a moan of displeasure after being disturbed from a dream.
I turned my head stiffly, and I saw that one of the behemoth's necks was erected, and the huge head on the neck slowly opened its eyes, and the red eyes glanced around unpleasantly, and finally aimed the pupils at the stiff and frightened me, and the eyes shot an angry gaze.
I know that it is very unpleasant to be disturbed to sleep.
So, for the first time, I hurriedly expressed my sincere apologies to it: "What, Uncle Monster, Grandpa Monster, I didn't mean to disturb your rest, you, you keep sleeping, I'll leave." ”
As he spoke, he turned around, drilled his head into the entrance and exit, and rushed in the direction he came from like crazy.
I heard an angry roar behind me, and the erected head first raised, then opened its bloody mouth and spat out in the direction I fled.
A pillar of fire that melted gold and iron erupted from its mouth and burrowed into the cavern, carrying a wave of heat and burning straight at me.
