It was half past three in the morning, and even the insects seemed to be tired of barking, and went back to their comfortable nests to rest.

Lu Kuan held the torch and slowly advanced against the wall on one side of the passage, as for Dimi, he didn't know where to hide in the dark and disappeared.

The passage is not long, if you run at full speed, Lu Kuan can reach the other end in more than ten seconds, but now Lu Kuan is hesitant, his expression looks a little nervous, a little apprehensive, and he seems to be a little afraid of this deep and closed underground passage.

Halfway through, he accidentally kicked on a fallen stone brick, stumbled a few steps, and almost tripped over, looking like an embarrassed novice explorer.

This underground passage is not only one road, every twenty meters or so on both sides, there is a wide passage leading to the left and right sides, Lu Kuan held a torch high and looked at it, and found that the passage was an arc that curved inward.

Are the entrances in all four directions connected by these arc passages?

Lu Kuan thought to himself, the movements under his feet were even more clumsy, and the speed of his progress was getting slower and slower, looking a little timid and a little hesitant.

When Lu Kuan stopped moving forward step by step, he didn't seem to notice that at some point, there was a vague black shadow behind him, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was too close to the torch in Lu Kuan's hand, he could hardly see a trace with the naked eye.

The black shadow's movements were very fast, the last moment it was two steps away from Lu Kuan, and the next moment it was almost close to Lu Kuan's back, and the white blade in his hand silently probed Lu Kuan's neck.

"Poof!"

Just as the blade was about to touch the skin on the back of Lu Kuan's neck, there was a sudden sound of a sharp weapon entering the flesh in the quiet passage, and a muffled hum that was trying to suppress it.

At some point, Lu Kuan had already put his right arm in front of him, his right hand between his left arm and his body, the short crossbow was facing behind him, and a crossbow arrow had already silently shot into the stalker's chest.

"Cangchang!"

"Dang!"

Lu Kuan's crossbow arrows did not stop, shooting several arrows in a row, and at the same time, as soon as his left hand was loosened, he had already pulled out his scimitar and slashed towards the person behind him.

Lu Kuan's shot was like lightning, and the distance between the two sides was so close, the sneak attacker was shot two more arrows without accident, but the other party reacted quite quickly, and blocked Lu Kuan's slash with a dagger, and retreated sharply!

"It's considered to be out, and you still want to run?"

Lu Kuan smiled brightly, raised his hand and raised two more arrows, one arrow hit the other party's calf, and saw a "-57!" ".

"It's okay, the level is estimated to be about the same ......as mine," Lu Kuan muttered to himself, letting the figure of the sneak attacker quickly disappear into the darkness, and he still paced unhurriedly behind him.

Half a minute later.

A human male in black leather armor with a mask covering his face sat in a corner of an underground passage, covering the wound on his chest, his face painful, but what frightened him even more was the nameless monster in front of him.

At this time, Dimi was angry, and against the backdrop of the green flames burning in his limbs, the windless black mane on his body was like a flame from hell, full of tyrannical aura.

Lu Kuan happened to arrive at this time, came to Dimi, touched the head of the black wolf, and looked the mysterious person in front of him up and down at the same time, but before Lu Kuan could speak, the mysterious man had already spoken first.

"You're the old deer, a fallen ranger with demons." The sneak attacker said hatefully, listening to this tone, those who didn't know thought that it was him who was attacked just now, not Lu Kuan.

Lu Kuan raised his eyebrows, and then laughed: "The Glorious Church, or Tojak's subordinates?" Oh no, with Tojak's character, he probably didn't have the habit of raising assassins. ”

Hearing the word "Fuyang", the sneak attacker immediately turned angry, and at this time, this person's entire face was abnormally red, and it looked like blood was surging from anger.

The other party couldn't see it himself, but Lu Kuan could see it clearly, above the sneak attacker's head, a green number of "-12" would pop up every two seconds, which was the effect of the fire lizard toxin.

When escaping from prison in Fort Helneron before, Lu Kuan took out this vial of toxin, but he didn't use it all the way, and this time it was embedded in Rune City, and Lu Kuan used the crossbow arrow smeared with poison for actual combat.

"You made it this far...... Ahem...... It was really beyond my expectations. "Sneak attackers.

"Then I'll take you by default,"

Lu Kuan squatted down, poked the scimitar on the ground, and pointed the short crossbow at the other party's throat: "I'll make a long story short, what are you doing here sent by the church, are you not dead to the rune dwarves, what other plans do you have?" ”

The other party didn't seem to care about the crossbow in front of him at all, but was full of energy: "Haha, you degenerates, just like demons, will be purified by our church sooner or later, ahem...... Defeat me, and there are countless more fraternities to complete my mission......"

"You're not the only one here?" Lu Kuan immediately grasped the point of the other party's words and hurriedly asked.

"Huh...... You're going to die......" The other party looked at Lu Kuan with pity, like looking at another dying person.

Hearing this, Lu Kuan subconsciously frowned, turned his head, and gave Dimi a look, as if the black wolf of the Hell Messenger immediately retreated silently, and the flames on his body quickly disappeared until his huge body completely melted into the darkness.

Looking back, Lu Kuan found that the sneak attacker's head had already hung down, and a system prompt to gain experience also popped up in his field of vision.

"More than one person...... These people must have been arranged here a long time ago, otherwise they wouldn't be faster than me, what does the Glorious Church want to do, all these years, have they always been undead on the secrets in Rune City? ”

A series of question marks popped up in Lu Kuan's mind, and he knew in his heart that he was afraid that he could only find these answers from those hidden assassins.

Thinking so, Lu Kuan skillfully searched the other party's corpse and found a pile of fragments.

"Numbing poison, ropes, dry food...... Well? ”

Lu Kuan checked the loot as he walked, throwing away the useless garbage one by one, but accidentally found a strange thing.

"'Half burned plant rhizomes'...... What is this? ”

Lu Kuan took a small piece of black stuff and looked at it suspiciously: "Food? It's not like ah......"

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Kuan put his things back into his backpack, then held the torch and began to move slowly through the passage again.

Since there are other people, Lu Kuan plans to delay here for a while, not to mention this, there will always be people who are afraid of death, and the arrangement of the Glorious Church here always makes Lu Kuan feel a little uneasy.

……

The underground world was dark and full of dangers, and Lu Kuan deliberately lit a torch, and it didn't take long to "seduce" the ambushers in the shadows one by one.

At this time, Lu Kuan was facing a siege from the three assassins.

"Poof!"

Lu Kuan dodged to avoid the crossbow arrows shot by the opponent, and at the same time immediately counterattacked, throwing his hand is an arrow, directly shooting the opponent's eyeballs, and killing the enemy holding the bow and crossbow on the opposite side directly with one arrow!
