125. The Dark Crypt
Two days is not a short time, but it is not a long time.
For people like Sean and Cecilia, if they concentrate on moving forward, they don't feel the passage of time at all, only the gradual reduction of the food and water they carry in their hands is increasing the speed of their time passing. If they are strong enough, they will naturally not need to eat for a long time, although this will make the body a little weaker, but there will definitely not be any danger to their lives.
It's just that for the two people who are currently both low-ranking silver, let alone not eating for a long time, not eating for more than three days is enough to make the body weak. Even Cecilia, if she only drinks water and has no food supplies, may not be in danger of life, but the loss of combat power and the loss of magical ability caused by lack of concentration are normal and common.
Of course, Sean and Cecilia are not currently in army mode, but are defaulted to the party mode of the adventure party, so Sean's passive ability "Desperate Survival" will of course continue to work. It's just that the effect of this special passive skill can only play a certain role in slowing down and preventing it, and if you don't eat for a long time, you will also die because of it.
But in any case, it is still very necessary and important to replenish the loss of water in the body first.
So after two days, when both of them had run out of water, Sean and Cecilia finally came to a sunken crypt.
The wind in the desert was still howling, but standing at the mouth of the crypt, Sean and Cecilia did not feel the wind coming from inside, not even the faintest wind current. Standing at the door of the crypt and staring inside, in Cecilia's eyes, the entrance to the crypt was like a giant mouth of a monster that wanted to choose people to eat, and Cecilia felt a creep when she saw it.
"Don't use any lighting magic." Sean said softly.
Cecilia nodded.
So Sean didn't stop at all. One jumped into the cave entrance. In the next second, Sean seemed to have been devoured by a monster, and completely disappeared from Cecilia's sight, leaving only a rustling sound, which sounded like the sound of something like sand sliding down, but as the sound got farther and farther away, only three or four seconds later, Cecilia standing outside the entrance of the crypt could no longer hear any sound.
"It's a landslide, be careful when jumping down." It was a few more moments before Cecilia heard Sean's voice coming from inside the crypt.
The sound was a little empty. There was even a hint of echo, and it was clear that the space inside the crypt was very vast.
Cecilia did not hesitate and quickly jumped from the entrance to the crypt. It's just that when she jumps, her eyes are closed. Obviously, even though Cecilia is now a veteran of the battlefield, she can keep her face open to severed limbs and splattered blood. But anyway. Cecilia is only a sixteen-year-old girl now, and she still has the nature of a girl, and she still has some natural fears for many things.
Cecilia had just jumped from the crypt and felt a sense of weightlessness for a second, proving that the slope of the crypt was large, at least far from what it sounded on the surface. And the feet touch the slope. Cecilia screamed as she began to fall backwards, and then her ass fell to the ground and she slammed her whole body up the slope.
The cloak on the body. It did a good job of protecting Cecilia's body from abrasions in the process of sliding down the slope.
Of course, the momentary pain that occurred when her ass was thrown hard was something Cecilia could not avoid no matter what. But this is also an unavoidable behavior, Sean also suffered a heavy pain, but he is a warrior, rough skin and thick flesh, so of course there will be no obvious strong pain like Cecilia, so Sean did not realize the difference between Cecilia and himself in terms of physique, so he did not remind Cecilia.
Sliding down the slope, Cecilia could clearly feel that the slope of the slide was getting steeper and steeper, so that the speed of the slide became faster and faster.
Normally, with a cloak to protect you, you should be slowed down by the friction of the cloak during this kind of slipping, but the current situation is completely reversed. But in such a high-speed slide, Cecilia didn't dare to touch the slope behind her with her hands, for fear of accidentally bruising her hands, but as the speed of the slide increased and the time prolonged, Cecilia's heart became more and more uneasy.
All indications are that the slope of this crypt is very steep and obviously very smooth, and it will be very difficult to return the same way without a second way out. But before Cecilia could think through these questions, she felt as if she was suddenly being caught by something, and then a steady force surged over, and directly lifted her up, which made Cecilia scream in fright.
"It's me!" Sean's voice rang out, "Don't scream. ”
So, Cecilia, who had finally settled down, quieted down.
But at this time, Sean and Cecilia were frowning, because they both heard a strange strange scream.
The sound was somewhat like the roar of a tiger and a lion, but it had the sharp voice of a leopard, which was obviously a roar, but it was very strange that there were several sounds overlapping each other. But whether this sound is made by one creature or several creatures, it can only mean one thing: the other party is a very dangerous creature, because here in the wilderness, there will be no ordinary creatures, and any kind of creature, even if it is young, is a monster.
Although Sean couldn't see Cecilia's expression clearly in this dark environment, he could still feel Cecilia's tremor in his arms, and the movements of his body grabbing his body because of nervousness and fear.
Sean chuckled, put Cecilia down, reached out and patted her head gently, and smiled: "Don't worry, it's okay, I'm here." ”
“…… Well. Cecilia's grip on Sean's clothes tightened, and it took a few moments before she answered softly.
Sean reached out and grabbed Cecilia behind him, and at the same time his right hand was already a dead bone, but instead of blindly moving forward, he began to sweep the ground with the dead bones to prevent any accidents. Sean knows very well that the depths of today's wild land are still unexplored primitive places, so it is very likely that he will encounter some relatively powerful magical beasts when exploring these places, so even if Sean knows how to deal with many magical beasts, he does not dare to support it with his current strength, so he can only move forward cautiously.
And the reason why he didn't let Cecilia use magic such as lighting to illuminate the crypt environment was to avoid angering the demonic beasts hiding in the crypt and cave. Because this kind of monster lives in a dark environment for a long time, it is very sensitive to light sources, and once a light source appears, it is easy to anger this kind of monster, which will cause some unnecessary trouble.
Sean didn't come to this crypt to hunt monsters, he just wanted to pick some black dhara grass, which would be the best if he could avoid a fight. So as long as the monsters don't come to him for trouble, Sean certainly won't provoke these monsters - at least, if he casts magic like illumination when attacked, then the monsters will fall into a state of blindness or something like that because of a moment of light, and Sean will have a stronger fighting advantage before they adapt to the light.
So in a sense, illumination is actually a life-saving talisman for Sean and Cecilia.
Of course, Dark Vision can actually be cast, but for some reason, Sean stopped Cecilia from casting the spell. So, the two began to move on in the dark environment.
The journey wasn't too difficult, except for something on the ground that was probably supposed to be stones or something that was often swept away by the bones in Sean's hands. Of course, it's not clear whether this thing is a stone Sean, but in the absence of illumination, Sean thinks that these things are pebbles, and Cecilia will certainly not object, or that these things that may be other things that will roll bones and bones are stones, which is the best choice at the moment.
After walking for about ten minutes, there was a sudden shock force from the dead bones in Sean's hand, which made Sean immediately realize that the distance in front of him was about half a meter or so that it should be a solid object like a wall. However, in order to determine the situation, Sean still moved the dead bones up the obstacle, and soon a spark spewed out, and the appearance of this spark appeared in this dark environment to appear more bright and dazzling, which frightened Sean to immediately stop the movement of his hand.
And almost at the same moment, the roar of a wolf, a tiger and a leopard sounded again.
This time, however, the voice was noticeably weaker than before.
Sean's eyes lit up, and he could hear that the voice didn't seem to be too far from his position.
"Left." Cecilia had spoken.
"Let's go." Sean reached out and grabbed one of Cecilia's hands, and began to walk to the left.
It didn't take long for Sean to notice that there was a corner mouth here, and at the end of the corner mouth, there was a faint fluorescence. The light wasn't bright, but it was enough to illuminate the surroundings in the current environment, and in this fluorescent environment, Sean and Cecilia were enough to avoid the distractions of the dark environment, or at least to be able to see their surroundings clearly.
Soon, the two saw the end.
It's a corner too, but after turning this corner, the situation inside the crypt changes significantly. (To be continued......)
