Screams!

Alfred flipped over, and the whole person changed from lying still to half-kneeling on the ground, and the corner of his eye glanced at Sean, but found that he was still asleep, and he was not awakened by this scream. Listening closely, the crypt seemed to have been silenced, except for the sound of each other's breathing in the small cave, there was no longer the slightest sound from the outside world.

Cecilia had already stood up, the heavy magic book had been closed, and her pretty face was also solemn, compared to Alfred's voice as the basis for judgment, Cecilia had more ways to judge: "There are traces of magic fluctuations." ”

"Which side?" Alfred stood up suddenly, and the momentum of the whole person changed in an instant, like a sword out of the sheath, sharp and fierce.

Cecilia stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction they had come from before: "This magic fluctuation is very rough and primitive, not like human magic. ”

"None of those tails behind us have magicians." Alfred knew exactly what the mercenary groups in Cerroda Village were that would do banditry, after all, even if the existence of a mage was a common profession in the Kingdom of Portoroa, he would not casually join those mercenary groups with little future.

The so-called mercenary group combination like Cecilia and Sean is already a fault in the eyes of many people.

It's nothing else, it's just a matter of face.

Alfred knew that many of the tails behind him were not simply because Sean was rich, but more because he took a fancy to Cecilia - her talent and appearance, which was a kind of fault.

At this moment, he stood at the mouth of the passage of the small cave, staring and guarding.

On the other side of the passage, there was really no sound coming from it, and it seemed that everything was quiet. In this case, no one knows what the scream just now means, but what can clearly know that it is not a good thing, and the sound is so close to this small cave, it is no wonder that Alfred and Cecilia are nervous.

After waiting for a while, finally making sure that no sound was coming out, Alfred relaxed a little. In just a moment, he had already found that the sweat had soaked his clothes, and the great mental consumption of concentrating and vigilance could be seen, but exploring in an underground passage, no matter how cautious he was, he would never pass, because the so-called underground passages were often connected to the dungeon world, and no one was sure if they would meet those creatures from the dungeon world here.

Even though Sean had made it clear that this underground passage could not be connected to the Underworld, Alfred was still reluctant to maintain this optimism - of course, this was also because he didn't know the details of Sean, compared to Cecilia's unreserved trust and obedience, even if Alfred actually joined the group, he would still have reservations and opinions on certain things.

He will choose to obey Sean's orders and commands, but that doesn't mean there is no doubt, after all, this is also due to his character and principles.

"Let's get out of here." Alfred turned back to Cecilia and said, "It's not safe here, the sound just now is very close to here, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous to stay any longer." ”

"But Sean......" Cecilia turned her head to look at Sean, and found that he had slept so soundly, and no one as vigilant as he had been awakened by the scream, which showed how tired he was.

"I can only wake him up." Alfred pondered for a moment, he didn't mind carrying Sean on his back and moving on, but in this case, once he was attacked, he would not be able to deal with it immediately, so it would be truly irresponsible to the whole team. …,

Cecilia also understood Alfred's concerns, so she reached out and nudged Sean a few times, only to find that he was still sleeping soundly. Alfred on the side shook his head and said, "You can't do this", and then walked over in person, reached out and slapped Sean in the face, directly waking Sean up.

Simple, brutal, and effective.

Sean, who had just woken up, was still a little dazed, his pupils couldn't focus, his eyes were obviously a little distracted, he covered half of his face, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was looking at.

Seeing Sean's situation, Alfred reacted, it turned out that Sean had hypoglycemia!

He didn't know what to do, this is because Sean used a sequelae after "adrenal stimulation", and the glycemic index in his body has now turned into a certain quiet period after being stimulated by a mutation, so it will produce this situation similar to hypoglycemia, but in fact, there are some differences from hypoglycemia. It's just that Alfred didn't know, he just thought that Sean had this disease, so the next second he tore open a packet of compressed instant dry food, took out the sugar pill and stuffed it into Sean's mouth, and kept patting Sean's face so that he could completely wake up.

Subconsciously chewing the sugar pill in his mouth, Sean's eyes finally began to return to normal, looking at Alfred's serious face, Sean subconsciously asked, "Is something wrong?" ”

"There may be an enemy in the vicinity." Alfred gave a neat and concise account of the scream, and at the same time made his own inference, "I think we should get out of here now." ”

When Sean heard this, his face became awe-inspiring.

He checked his abnormal status bar, and found that the tired full ability had decreased by 70% and had become 60%, and immediately understood that this abnormal state would take time to recuperate before it would automatically recover, and then glanced at the skill "Adrenal Stimulation" again, and found that the skill was in a gray state, which was the same as the situation in the game, and it was temporarily unusable.

"How long did I sleep?" Sean turned his head and asked Cecilia.

"Less than an hour." Cecilia replied without hesitation.

Sean immediately understood that the conversion formula of the side effects of this skill in this world could be completely offset by a quiet seven hours of rest, which may also include the need for food supplements. Because adrenal stimulation is actually through the stimulation and acceleration of blood sugar and the heart, in exchange for instantaneous explosive ability, a bit similar to the effect of stimulants, but in some ways it is relatively safer, and this price also requires a large amount of food to be converted into nutrients and energy to supplement consumption.

He knew that he needed more rest right now, but Alfred's decision was correct, it was very dangerous for them to stay here, and the best way for them to stay here was to leave here and find a safer place to rest again.

After thinking clearly about the crux of the problem, Sean didn't mean to waste time, and he struggled to stand up.

This small karst cave is actually very small, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is mini, and the diameter of the entire karst cave is only ten meters, but in addition to the passage where Sean and the others came, there are three other passages that lead to nowhere. However, there was no wind coming from these three passages, and it was presumably not a road to the surface, but no one knew where it led to.

This time, though, Sean didn't let Alfred pick a random passage, he stretched out his hand to the nearest passage, and then said, "Go this way." ”

Alfred was a little surprised: "Do you know how to get through this crypt passage?" ”…,

"I don't know what to do." Sean still took it for granted, "I'm just picking a place that is closest to me and where I can do the least to move forward, anyway, it's all going to the bottom, as long as there's no wind." ”

Alfred didn't know what to say about Sean, and finally could only say weakly: "If we are all lost, then how can we go back?" ”

"Cecilia has brought a shadow powder." Sean replied calmly, "Every time we pass through a hole, she will make a stroke, and when the time comes, you can tell where we have passed by just using the manifestation powder." …… Do you really think Cecilia is just having fun touching around those stone walls? ”

"You're so well prepared." Alfred grunted, and then led the way into the passage that Sean pointed to, he now understood that Sean was not the kind of leader without a brain, on the contrary, his experience was not as old as he should have at his age, and even those adventurers and mercenaries who had been adventuring and training for more than ten years did not necessarily have such rich experience as him.

And just a dozen minutes after Sean, Cecilia, and Alfred walked into the tunnel, a group of embarrassed people also ran into the small cave.

There were young men under twenty in this group, and there were middle-aged men who looked to be over forty, and each of them had some injuries on their bodies, although these injuries were not enough to affect their combat effectiveness, but the pain was not fake. These people looked hideous, full of murderous aura, and the weapons in their hands even had fishy liquid dripping, but these liquids were not red, but green, and the liquid was very viscous, obviously not human blood.

If Alfred had been here, he would have recognized them as one of the most notorious mercenary groups in the village of Cerroda, the Jackal Mercenary Regiment, one of whom was seriously wounded as one of the few warriors who had followed Sean to the inn at Warm Breeze House. However, this mercenary group originally had more than 20 people, but now there are only eight people left, and all of them are injured, which is enough to explain the tragic situation they encountered along the way.

"Commander, what now?" The young warrior who had been following Sean before asked.

"What to do? It's all come to this point, what else can I do! The middle-aged man who was called the head of the regiment was full of resentment, "I didn't expect that there are actually crypt demons in this crypt passage, the brutes raised by the group of bitches of the Bloody Weeping Mercenary Group, don't let me meet them again!" …… Just now we fought hard with those crypt demons, although we suffered heavy losses, but we also killed them a demon worm and a few crypt demons, they will not chase them for the time being, we take a little rest here, all bandage the wounds, the smell of blood can easily attract other crypt creatures. ”

"But Commander, how many roads are there here, which one shall we take?"

The leader of the Jackal Mercenary Regiment glanced at the other three passages in the cave, hesitated slightly, and then pointed to one of them: "Let's go this one!" ”

This passage is the same passage that Sean chose!

======== dividing line ========

It seems that I have a cold, a little fever, and I am dizzy. Not...... I still owe a more to make up for next time, I'll go to rest first.
