Chapter 969, the first step
The mastery of the knowledge of the magic circle made Xiao Yan know that the humans in the Duel World Realm were simply unable to create a poison that could turn people into zombies. And this toxin is definitely not a natural product, for now, it is either a product of alchemy, or a skill that has nothing to do with the magic circle. It just so happened that Xiao Yan himself had a level 2 biopoison control ability, and he also had considerable experience in understanding and controlling these poison toxins, especially after learning almost all level 2 biopoison skills, his judgment of the source of poison could reach a fairly accurate level.
This is a poison from the otherworldly realm, and Xiao Yan can be sure that due to the different environments of the worldly realm, these poisons can have additional effects on humans. And his personal experience proves that this poison has a relatively long time of action, has a certain incubation period, and can even be activated by some means. All this proves Xiao Yan's previous judgment and at the same time also targets the larger object of suspicion.
Only a duelist from another world would possess such a toxin.
Xiao Yan was able to confirm this, and he could also confirm that among his opponents, a certain duelist of the World Realm had already taken the lead and arrived in Paris. No one knows why these opponents will find their targets so quickly, but considering that the Tree of the World Realm can blatantly cheat openly, the other masters of the World Realm may not be able to respond.
However, there is another problem here, according to the rules of the duel, unless provoked, the duelist cannot take the initiative to kill the lives of other worlds. This means that opponents entering Paris cannot actively kill humans, and the use of poison to turn people into zombies is also prohibited. Therefore, they can only do this through trading or deception.
The Notas that the stonemason spoke of was probably such an intermediary. The duelists of the Atlas sent poison to Notas through some kind of trade. It was then up to Notas to control the other stonemasons with poison. And so it goes. The duelists of the other world realm will be able to accomplish their goals without violating the rules of the duel.
But this action, in turn, also says one thing, and that is that those duelists have not yet gotten what they want. Whether it was the Ark or the mineral deposits in the veins, the duelist's goal was not achieved, so they had to use this method to control the situation.
It's good to be the first to be the first, but it's not necessarily the best.
Xiao Yan thought so, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly. Follow the passage in front of you and walk forward. The path came to an end in a few minutes, and facing the stone wall in front of him, the young awakened could only turn his head to look in the direction he had come. It seemed that the Notas had prepared for the worst, and the two stonemasons had led the team to their death from the start.
I don't know when the air in the tunnels started to get a little stuffy, and there were some additional sounds coming from that. The sound of rustling was more like someone scratching at a plank, but in this sound there was a faint cry or gasp from humans, as if they were in great pain. But I don't know when I will be liberated.
After a few moments, the fishy smell in the air intensified. In addition to the painful sounds of human beings, there was the clatter of shackles as they moved.
Silas had unsheathed his sword, and several of the knights around him were also ready for battle. As the voices drew nearer and nearer, the Captain of the Knight drew a cross again on his chest, and then said, "Your Majesty, I think you can go back a little, in any case, this is Paris, not Normandy." ”
Xiao Yan smiled slightly and said, "Oh, whether this is Paris or Normandy, it is in the Lord's world. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a human life whose face had turned into a paste suddenly poked its head out of the corner, its head tilted, and its entire face was rotten everywhere except for its eyes, and the sebum and pus, along with the skin, were dripping to the ground. Seeing the human here, the disgusting creature seemed to let out some kind of roar, which of course could also be understood as a kind of laughter. Then, it stumbled around the corner, looking sluggish.
Xiao Yan secretly took out an automatic rifle, which twisted in an instant, and finally turned into the appearance of an old-fashioned double-barreled shotgun, and even the bullets turned into the appearance of an ammunition pack. This means that after each fire, the barrel needs to be broken, recharged, and fired again. Seeing this, Xiao Yan whistled, it seems that not all modern weapons are unrestricted, revolvers can, or rather, weapons before 1900 should be able to be accepted by this world.
Hearing the unceremonious whistle of the foreign king beside him, Silas, who was always staring at the monster, couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xiao Yan, and when he saw the weapon in the king's hand, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, as if he wanted to ask what it was. However, Xiao Yan quickly replied with action, he picked up the shotgun in his hand and aimed at the monster that was stumbling towards him.
As if he could feel Xiao Yan's hostility, the monster raised his head and looked at Xiao Yan carefully. In the next second, the monster suddenly disappeared from everyone's eyes. This change made Silas stunned again, of course, no matter where the monster was, it could not escape the perception of this knight captain. The knight captain with level 8 strength has an extremely large perception range, and at the moment when the monster disappeared, Silas had already sensed the real location of the monster. However, it was this extraordinary perception that made Silas unexpectedly discover that this monster was moving far faster than it had just shown.
Faster than the captain wielding the heavy sword in his hand was the sound of Xiao Yan firing, and a huge roar suddenly spread through the cave, and then, directly above the hole, a large number of pieces of minced flesh and rotting impurities fell like rain. Without waiting for the knights to react, Xiao Yan had already turned his head to look in the other direction, and pulled the trigger again without hesitation. There was another loud roar, and a monster like a bat, whose limbs and body had become sticky, suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, just a stone's throw away from the muzzle of the gun in Xiao Yan's hand. However, this distance is the limit that the monster can reach, and in the next second, it was hit by countless tiny projectiles as if it had been hit head-on by a heavy hammer, and flew straight in the direction it came. As it flew past, debris and slime from its body were scattered all over the floor. Eventually, the monster fell to the ground and was completely immobile.
The sheer power of the weapon made Captain Silas and the Lancers look sideways, but the knights didn't show any greed or envy, and after a glance of attention, they turned their heads back to look at the dark passage ahead.
"We have to go our separate ways."
Xiao Yan's hand once again created a light, throwing the road ahead, and in front, there was an obvious fork in the road. The Young Awoken said to Captain Silas, "I'll go down, and you'll go up, and Hannibal will take you up." Even if those people erased the artificial mark, they could not hide it from Hannibal. ”
The captain of the Holy Spear Knights turned his head to look at Xiao Yan and said, "Your safety is equally important. ”
"No, Mr. Captain, you are the Knights of the Holy Lance in Paris, remember? What you're going to do is defend Paris, and what I'm going to do is find the abyss, or the root of it all. Each of us must do our best, or Paris will come to an end. ”
Silas did not deny Xiao Yan's words, in fact, since Notas of the Stonemason Guild dared to deceive the Knights of the Holy Lance, and dared to attack them of the Knights of the Holy Lance, it meant that the people of the Stonemason Guild on the ground had prepared for the worst. Those monsters that appear underground will also appear on the ground. Now that Paris may have been in chaos, as the captain of the Knights of the Holy Lance, especially the Knights, he is most needed at this time on the ground rather than continuing the expedition.
Drawing a cross on his chest, the captain of the Knights of the Holy Lance bowed slightly to Xiao Yan, and then said, "At least I can let Kami follow you." ”
Xiao Yan turned his head to look at the knight whose face had been covered by a helmet, and realized that the knight's figure didn't seem to be too tall. Finding Xiao Yan looking at himself, the knight named Cammy lifted his visor, and behind the visor, there was a pale face almost identical to Silas, and even his eyebrows were gray.
"Cammy is my child, Your Majesty the King, and he is also a knight of the Lord."
Silas turned and followed Hannibal to the side of the fork in the road, turned his back to Xiao Yan and said, "If he dies, please make Requiem Mass for him." Praise my Lord, Amen. If you die for the Lord, Camy, I will be proud of you. ”
It is obviously safer to go to the ground with Silas, and in any case, with Silas's strength, there is no problem in protecting himself. But the Knight Captain clearly did not intend to do this, as he was with his devotion to the Lord, he gave his child to Xiao Yan, and asked Xiao Yan to take Kami to more dangerous places, and was ready for Kami's sacrifice.
In a way, whether it's the Knights of the Holy Lance or the Knights of the Holy Crown, those knights are more pure and determined.
Cammy closed her armor behind Silas and drew a cross on her chest as well, saying, "Thank you for the grace of the Lord." My father, I will make you proud of me. ”
Xiao Yan waited quietly for the two of them to finish speaking, took out the staff and historical texts, and turned around and walked towards the other side of the fork.
About ten minutes later, Xiao Yan and Kami walked to a closed iron door, and behind them, a thick fog suddenly formed. Then he hurriedly walked out of the thick fog and said, "We need to speed up." (To be continued......)
