Chapter 70: The Trap
I don't know how long it took, but when Klose woke up, he only felt pain all over his body, especially in his chest, and there was a feeling of suffocating oppression.
"Ward... Get out of the way! ... I... I can't breathe! β
Klose struggled to push away the lizard that held him down, and glanced up at the light above him.
Where did these people fall? It's a miracle that you didn't fall to death at such a high level?
Klose tried to move, but between the tentacles was a foreign object.
He took out the emergency light and turned it on.
"! ...β
When he saw the situation around him clearly, Klose first screamed and almost threw away the lamp in his hand.
It's a deep pit! A deep, deep pit!
The bottom of the pit is full of white bones.... All of them! I don't know how many there are, but all of them!
Between the tentacles are white bones, and as far as the eye can see, there are white bones! They fell into a pit of bones!
"Ah~~~!"
A scream rang out, and it was Turquoise.
"Ah~~~~!"
Another sharper scream rang out, it was Celegate...
"Hmm... Damn it! How could there be such a pit here!? β
Huhilberg also woke up faintly, and the muscles on his face twitched a little as he looked at the deep pit far from the ground.
You're so unlucky, aren't you?! This kind of sure deal can also have accidents, are the gods giving up on me?!
Can... If the gods have given up on me, but the future Judge will be the most devout believer! Why the hell did he fall off??
Looking at the future presiding judge who kept ** his own waist broken, Hilberg even began to suspect that this was a false believer!
"Oh my God~~ My beloved god of dampness and sliminess! I praise you! We're alive! β
Ward stood up and shouted excitedly.
It's just that in this situation, no one notices what kind of gods he praises...
It didn't take long for everyone to regain their blindness at the bottom of the pit.
Now, even without Klose's emergency lights, everyone can see some of the surroundings.
"Dead man! It's full of dead people's remains! β
Seeing your surroundings clearly means more screaming and panic.
"Give me all peace!!"
Hilberg screamed, and the horse thieves all quieted down, it seems that he is still very good at this aspect of **.
"Don't panic! We have Judge Vendon here! He'll take us out! β
The old man Fontaine leaned on his waist and looked at Hilberg, his resentful eyes seemed to be full of blame.
Hilberg reached out and pressed down twice, motioning for the other to remain silent.
In this case, he must stabilize his team as soon as possible, so that there may be a glimmer of life.
It is undeniable that Hilberg's decision was correct, but it stabilized the morale of the army, and he had no idea what to do next.
"Judge VendΓ΄me, have you ever heard of such a place in the Shield Fortress?"
He whispered to the presiding judge of the Holy See, hoping for the other party's erudition and inside information.
"Well..."The old man pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "Oops... My waist...."
Hilberg: "..."
"Sir Hilberg, don't worry, although there is no similar record in the Holy See's canons, it's not too late for us to check the surrounding situation before making plans."
Hilberg sighed and nodded, and then commanded, "Who still has flint and torches on them?" All on point! Go around and see if there's an exit! β
The horse thieves all moved under the command of the chief, and they lit the fire, fumbled and fumbled, and no one paid any attention to Klose.
"I hope that idiot Xing Shi will notice the movement here soon.... Call for someone to save us..."
Hilberg has some itchy teeth when he talks about his deputy, this guy was the last time and lost all the treasures that he finally snatched.
Hilberg looked around, and realized that the pit full of bones was significantly larger than the room above! Judging by the location where they fell, the pit of bones seemed to be right in the center of the Shield Fortress.
"Kane! Kane? β
Taking advantage of the fact that these people were looking for an exit, Klose reached Kane's side and pushed him hard.
Still unresponsive, Kane is like a dead thing now, and he can't feel the slightest aura.
"Hehehe... My cage of light is not so easy to break. β
A voice rang out behind Klose, it was the old man Fontaine, who claimed to be the deputy presiding judge.
"I don't remember any cross-cutting with the Holy See... Why are you coming specifically against me? β
Klose held the anti-wolf *** in his hand, wanting to see if this old god stick would cooperate with him.
Fontaine didn't notice Klose's hands, but smiled and stroked his beard: "How can there be no intersection?" Dealing with evil devils and tainted heretics has always been the task of the Holy See.... His Royal Highness, as a royal child favored by God, would have degenerated to dance with the devil, and said that he had no intersection with us? β
"What?"
Klose wondered a little when he had danced with his grandmother's devil? I can't dance at all, okay!
Fontaine smiled again when he saw Klose's expression, and he reached out and nodded at the latter: "Hehehe~ Not honest, pretending to be confused!" ... Young people, you have to admit what you have done, this is the minimum courage of a man? I've heard that you dared to challenge the Golden Crocodile Duke at the gates of Holger's Imperial City! The courage of that time... Where did it go? β
"Shhhh
Klose thought to himself, this old boy has investigated himself very carefully... But what he said was serious, could it be that the former owner of this body did something? But isn't he a waste?
Seeing that Klose did not continue to refute, Fontaine thought that he had hit the other party's point, and said proudly: "Hehehehe.... But you're still very surprised, we didn't expect you to be able to come out of the magic forest unscathed, and you seem to be living well. Originally, we estimated that you would only survive for two days at most in the Demon Forest! β
"Hmph~" Klose said coldly: "I don't care if what you said is true or not, but now I am not the original me, and I will not carry any black pot for the original me!" If you, the Holy See, are willing to sit down and have a good talk.... But if you insist on attacking me.... The gates of the Magic Forest will always be open to you! I'm waiting! β
β.... Stubborn! Think about how to survive today! β
Fontaine put away his smile and glared at Klose, much to the latter's bewilderment.
"My lord! There seems to be an exit here! β
At this time, good news came from the edge of the pit!
Hilberg walked across a pile of bones to the man who shouted.
"What did you find?"
"My lord! There's a lever here, which seems to be turning on some kind of switch. β
A horse thief points to a rusty lever on the wall.
"Well... Pull it down! β
Hilberg is also out of the way, how do you know if it's a good thing or a bad thing if you don't try?
The horse thief grabbed the lever with both hands and pulled hard... Motionless?
"A few more!"
Still not moving....
The lever that no one had pulled for a long time seemed to grow on the wall, and no matter how many people on the horse thieves were, they didn't move.
"Whew... Really... I can't pull it! β
"Useless stuff... Get out of the way! β
Hilberg drew his sword and slashed at the lever with an angry sword!
"Boom ~~~~~"
The sound of the impact of gold and stone echoed back and forth in the crater, shaking people's ears numb.
But the first echo didn't stop, and Silberg's second sword arrived!
"Boom ~~~~~"
Another sword!
"Boom ~~~~~"
Another sword!
"Boom ~~~~~!"
It wasn't until the sword was cut down that the lever "creaked" and ran.
As the lever was slowly broken, the sound of gears turning and the sound of mechanisms running could be heard throughout the walls of the pit.
After a while, everyone only felt a shock to the ground under their feet! Then the whole world tilted!
"It's... What's going on? Are you going to force me to write a suicide note again? β
Ward began to rummage through his unfinished suicide note.
"Nope! ... This... Our ground is tilting! β
Yes, as soon as the lever is pulled down, the floor at the bottom of the pit begins to tilt to one side.
A gap quickly formed between the floor and the wall because of the sloping.
The bones and the crowd with nowhere to borrow their strength rolled down to the darker bottom one by one like garbage.
All those who are still struggling, without exception, have been plunged into the darker depths....
"Hmm...."
But this time everyone was mentally prepared, but they were not as embarrassed as they were just now.
"What the hell is this place!?"
Hilberg roared, feeling that today must not be his lucky day! What a bad luck!
The dark lower layers seemed to be piled up with more skeletons, but everyone was already immune to this aspect, and it was another thing that surprised them.
"There are torches here!"
"Hurry up!"
The sound of flint and steel was heard, and in a short time the warm glow of the fire flickered around.
"Shhhh
This time, everyone couldn't help but gasp!
So many people breathed in the cool air together, almost taking away all the air in this layer of space.
This layer of white bone skeletons is more and deeper!
And it seems to be the final gathering place for several other piles of bones.
Klose looked at the countless bones around him, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, a mischievous smile!
"O sleeping dead underground, please listen to my call~~~ Appear in the sun again and follow my guidance~~~ Mo Fei Kalusa!"
After a spell was recited, the "Spokesperson of the Dead" had already appeared in Klose's hands!
He's ready to summon an army of the dead on the spot!
