Chapter 24: Prelude to Restlessness

Minutes and seconds passed.

The heavy atmosphere was like a boulder pressing on the patrol head, and not only the snake man captain turned around anxiously, but even Elise's expression became more and more gloomy. As a vampire, she could keenly sense that the aura of the half-vampires she had sent was waning, but she couldn't figure out if it was because of the distance or if they were in danger. For the strength of her subordinates, Elise is still very confident.

Merely...............

"We can't wait any longer, Miss."

This time it was Tevelyn who couldn't hold his breath first, and it was no wonder that they wasted a lot of time by stopping and stopping along the way. And now that so much time has passed, and there has been no reply from the three passages, do you want them to camp here and wait for a whole day?

And the supply aspect is also a big problem, even the half-vampires have to eat, this patrol is for search and investigation and fighting, naturally it is impossible to bring too much food like a caravan traveling in the wild. Now everyone's supplies are enough to support three or four days, this is not a round-trip journey, if it is delayed like this, not to mention anything else, I am afraid that they will be trapped here alive!

"It can't be helped, that's all."

Elise also knew that the current situation was urgent, and there was no response from the three channels, and there was not even an emergency signal, which in itself was enough to explain the problem. But now they have no way to retreat, and there is no other way but to continue to move forward, so even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of them, they can only break through!

Thinking of this, Elise quickly gave the order.

"Gather everyone, pay attention to the surroundings, let's get out!"

This time, Elise no longer scattered her numbers for the sake of safety, they had already dispersed a considerable number of men in order to explore the way, and if they dispersed again, then it would be the rhythm of total annihilation. So Elise chose to gather the rest of the people together and continue through the middle passage - since all three passages did not respond, the only thing to rely on now was the woman's intuition.

Well......... I guess it's still very spiritual.

"It's weird..............."

The deeper she went, the more strange Elise's heart felt. Traps, deep underground labyrinths, that sense of danger everywhere. This gave Elise a sense of familiarity in her heart, as if she had read a similar record somewhere. But the more she recalled, the thicker the fog in her brain's memory became, which made Elise a little anxious, as if she had already touched a general outline, but she couldn't tell what it was.

Catacombs? No, no, Iris, the underground mausoleum, has also been to investigate a few, and the situation is completely different from the current situation. There are no tombs, no inscriptions, not even corpses and dead spirits. It would be wrong to say that this is some abandoned underground city, although the stone slabs here show obvious traces of man-made creations, but other than that, there are no buildings, no people, and no characteristics that all underground buildings should have.

So what exactly is this place?

Elise forced herself to be still, comparing her memories with what she saw in front of her again and again, but she kept overturning her own judgment. Not only that, but the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt in her heart, and she even felt her heart start beating because of the tension and fear. This shows that Elise herself knows where she is, but she can't remember it for a while.

But even so, Elise is sure that this is definitely not a good place.

At this moment, suddenly, the patrol stopped again. Immediately afterward, there was a commotion not far away. This also made Elise, who had been immersed in thought, come back to her senses and look ahead. Soon, Elise saw the Tiffling's collar hurrying from the front, its face pale, and its hands clenching the dagger were even bursting with bruises from overexertion. Even those blood-red eyes revealed a nervous look.

"Miss, we're in trouble."

When Elise walked to the front of the group, led by Tyflin Leader, she immediately understood what the other party meant by "trouble".

In front of the girl's eyes, the bodies of the three soldiers who had been sent to investigate before fell to the ground in all directions, with frightened expressions on their faces, and a strong smell of blood emanated from the mutilated corpses, and the hideous death was unbearable to look at. On the other side, the captain of the snake man stood there with a pale face, although he didn't say a word, but it could be seen from the slightly trembling body that he was about to explode.

It's no wonder that since they came to this ghost place, they have been in a state of bad luck, first being trapped in the shadow, and then running for most of the day without even seeing the shadow of the ghost. As a result, the search party she sent was now completely wiped out, and Elise was sure that if any monster appeared in front of the snake man captain right now, he would definitely dismantle it.

"Looks like they've got a fight here."

Carefully looking at the traces of the battle in front of her, Elise quickly came to a conclusion.

"The suddenness of the other party's appearance made our search team completely unprepared......... There's no trace of magic, so it looks like some kind of underground monster did it, but ..............."

Saying this, Elise stared at the corpse in front of her suspiciously. It was a half-vampire, and at this moment he had completely lost the grace of being a blood, his hands twisting and struggling to grasp the ground, more like he was dodging something than fighting. Outwardly, it was clear from the blow to the head that pierced the skull that was the cause of his death. But, to Elise's surprise, in the middle of the half-vampire's chest, there was a high bulge.

Not only it, but if you look closely, even the corpses of the Teflin and the snake man next to it also have the same storage zài, all in the same place. It's just that the part of their chest that should be bulging has become two big holes at the moment, and I don't know how it was caused.

"What is this?"

"I don't know, Miss."

Hearing Elise's inquiry, Tevelyn Ling also shook his head suspiciously, it was precisely because of this that he would invite Elise to come over and take a look. Logically speaking, these people are already dead, so it is over. But now there is such a thing in their bodies inexplicably, and looking at its appearance, it is still fluctuating faintly?!

Is there anything alive in it?

"This ......... I can't say ................"

Elise looked at it carefully for a long time, and finally shook her head, it was clear that there was nothing like it in the records she had dabbled in. And hearing this, the already irritable captain of the snake man couldn't bear it anymore.

"Why don't you care about it so much, don't you know if you cut it and look at it!"

As he spoke, the captain of the snake man raised his long sword, and before Elise could speak out against it, he slashed it down with all his might.

"Bang!!"

At the same time as the captain of the snake man slashed through the corpse, I saw that the bulging place exploded like a bomb, and for a moment the fishy yellow-green liquid flew and splashed everywhere, spraying out in all directions.

“unkaIsa!”

Fortunately, Elise was not slow to react, seeing that something was wrong, she hurriedly stretched out her hand and pointed, and soon the elemental protection sequencing spell that had been prepared for a long time came out instantly, and the colorful protective shield wrapped everyone present in an instant. As a result, the yellow-green liquid failed to hit the target they hoped for, and they slid down like raindrops on the glass, and soon disappeared.

But no one noticed, and at the same time as the liquid burst, the corpse that had been split by the snake man captain suddenly jumped up, and the dead snake man warrior's eyes widened, as if he wanted to remember the guy in front of him who had split his body completely. And immediately after, a white shadow flew out of the corpse's mouth, like a lightning bolt and pounced on the snake man captain in front of him.

Due to the effect of the acid spray, the snake man captain was completely unaware of the white shadow coming from the shop. In addition, although elemental protection can defend against elemental attacks, it cannot defend against physical attacks. So when he came back to his senses, he saw nothing but whiteness in front of him, and the next moment, a soft mask-like object wrapped around his face.

"Let go of me, you ugly monster!!"

As an elite warrior, the snake captain is not slow to react, if he were replaced by someone else, I am afraid that he would have panicked and didn't know what to do, but he is not so stupid. Instead, he grabbed the monster bug's tail with a roar, and swung his sword with his free other hand. The sharp blade of the sword cut the gap between the monster worm and the snake man impartially, and then the snake man captain threw the monster worm to the ground. I saw that the bug struggled a few times, and then there was no more movement.

"Damn it, filthy bugs!!"

Looking at the corpse of the insect in front of him, the snake man captain couldn't help but spit out, and he glared at the ugly monster. Damn, what the hell is this?

"Are you okay? Captain? ”

Seeing this scene, Elise also hurriedly walked over and asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, I don't care about this, Miss."

The snake captain shook his head and spoke, but then he glared viciously at the corpse of the strange bug.

"What the hell is this?"

"I don't know, at least it doesn't look like any of the usual underground creatures."

Looking closely at the corpse of the bug, Elise frowned, could it be that this thing killed the members of the search party? How capable are they?

"It's so unlucky, so I hate the Dark Regions, look at what kind of mess these monsters are!"

With a cold snort, the snake man captain turned around and retracted his sword.

"Let's go, when I find the true body of this thing, I'll cut it into eight pieces!"

With the order of the snake captain, the group moved forward again. Only Elise looked at the bug's corpse with a puzzled face, and finally turned away.

No one noticed that shortly after they had left, small black figures emerged from the mouths of the two remaining corpses, and with an inaudible hissing sound, they writhed like snakes and sped away in the direction of the patrol.
