Chapter 357 Underground Terror

At the lakeside outpost, the strange tunnel was still filled with a faint smell of blood. Vivian and Lily were cautiously moving forward in the tunnel.

They have not yet come into contact with the four bearded men, so they do not know that the four ascetics have told Girton and Ofra about the situation in the tunnel, but they can guess that such important information will inevitably be reported to the head of the parish. , so the two of them carefully checked the surrounding situation when they first arrived at the outpost. They were worried that investigators from the church had already arrived and set up camp here. But fortunately, it seemed that Gelton postponed the investigation of the tunnel for one day - Vivian and Lily saw no outsiders when they arrived here, and there were no signs of strangers coming in the tunnel after that.

When the group first arrived here, they were not aware of the many major events that had happened in the Beinz area in the past two months. In addition, they were anxious to return the Temple Orb and confirm the situation in Layton Town, so they did not pay attention to it. Too many tunnels to explore. When Lily dug a shaft, there were actually two ways to go. One was the exit where Hao Ren and the others left the lakeside outpost and returned to the ground, and the other extended all the way to the depths of the ground: now Lily and Vivian are Walk in this tunnel that slopes slightly downward.

"It feels like it's getting deeper as you go down...and the air becomes less and less fresh." As a melee fighter, Lily walked in front of course. She kept sniffing the air with her nose raised. The atmosphere here made her very happy. Uncomfortable, "I'm a little hairy..."

Vivian followed Lily, releasing a few little bats from time to time to investigate the situation. After hearing this, she casually agreed: "You are already furry."

"That's right..." Lily really thought about it for a moment, "But now I only have furry tail and ears. Your rhetoric is not accurate."

Vivian: "...I'm really full to discuss issues with you."

This straight tunnel extends downwards for an unknown amount of time, and it has been at least more than an hour since the journey. The two wives are not afraid of this environment, but they are bored all the way and have to chat to dispel the boring atmosphere. But there was still no end in sight for the road in front of him, as if the cave sloping downward would extend all the way to hell. The air in this section is already quite turbid, and the oxygen content has long been reduced to the survival limit of ordinary people, but Vivian and Lily can still cope with it easily. Vivian couldn't help but touch the stone wall she passed by as she walked. Even though she knew it was a special wall condensed under the influence of magic, she was still surprised by how smooth and solid it was. The magic inheritance on the earth has been fragmented, and she can't even remember if any of the "old friends" she met on the earth can use this unique skill.

And the round inner wall of the tunnel in front of her also made Lily couldn't help but think wildly: "I feel like we are walking in the digestive tract of a giant beast..."

Vivian patted Lily's tail casually: "You can't think of something good, disgusting or not."

"What do you think this tunnel is for?" Lily didn't care, and just raised the fire to light up the way, "It goes all the way to such a deep place... It is said that it was created by humans, but there is nothing in the tunnel. Lighting 2 has no ventilation and is completely useless.”

"I'm also thinking about this problem. If this place is built for people to walk around, then at least there should be a ventilation hole." Vivian frowned. She originally thought she could find traces of humans in front of her, but she didn't. Thinking that the further she went, the more "popular" she felt, she looked up again and saw the claw blade that Lily used as a torch. She couldn't help but be a little curious, "What is the principle of the joy of fire? The oxygen here is so thin that it can still be It burns, and I remember that it doesn’t seem to burn out even in water..."

Lily took her sword out of its sheath and pointed at Vivian with Frostmourne: "I told you not to mention this name again! Otherwise I will freeze you with Frostmourne!"

Vivian curled her lips: "Thinking about the copyright issue, it would be better to rename this thing as Frost Unhappy..."

Lily was immediately furious, but before she could get angry, she saw Vivian's eyes suddenly condense, and then she started scratching on the stone wall next to her with the happy light of the fire. The latter scraped off some brown-black particles from the wall. Flakes: "What is this?"

"Isn't it stone chips?" Lily's hatred can only last for three seconds. At this time, her attention was instantly diverted. She held a torch and approached, "Well, it doesn't look like stone...it smells like rotten tree roots. The smell."

Vivian pinched the black flakes and crushed them into pieces easily: "Soft, fibrous, definitely not a stone, it feels a bit like bark."

At this time, Lily's ears twitched, and she suddenly turned sharply towards the depths of the tunnel: "Hey, Bat, did you hear anything coming from the front?"

Vivian frowned and listened attentively for a while. She also heard a slight friction sound coming from a distance just now, but this time the sound disappeared again. She summoned a small bat and threw it out. The bat was wrapped in lightning and disappeared in the dark end of the tunnel in an instant. Lily seemed to feel that the atmosphere was not right, and subconsciously crossed the ice and fire blades on her chest to prepare for battle, while Vivian carefully observed the situation in front through the little bat.

Half a minute later, her eyes suddenly widened and she grabbed Lily's collar: "Run!!"

Before Lily could react, her whole body was pulled and flew up: "Hey, what's going on, what's going on..."

Vivian threw Lily forward, forcing the rear team to become the front team, and then she disintegrated into a large group of bats and followed closely: "Don't ask, run!"

A dense and weird rushing sound suddenly came from behind, mixed with the weird sound of rocks being crushed. The sound was approaching at an alarming speed, as if a thousand beasts were flooding in. Only then did Lily finally understand what was going on. Her tail suddenly became as fluffy as marshmallows. She screamed and ran forward on all fours: "What the hell is going on!"

Some of Vivian's little bats looked back. Because Lily put away her claw blades when she landed on all fours, the tunnel was suddenly dark. She could only rely on the electric sparks bursting out from the bats to barely illuminate the road. She saw At the deep and dark end of the tunnel, a horrifying shadow has rushed out and is rapidly approaching here with a momentum that will destroy the world!

It was a grotesque thing like a huge tentacle. Vivian could only vaguely make out that its end had a structure full of folds and bifurcations. This tentacle was so huge that it even completely filled the entire tunnel, heading towards this As he rushed over, he continued to smash the solid rocks on the walls of the tunnel into pieces. Vivian suddenly thought of the black flakes that had just been hung from the stone wall, the round tubular structure of this tunnel, and how this tunnel was formed!

She didn't know if she was the opponent of this tentacle. Maybe the tentacle was not as powerful as it looked, but the wisdom she had accumulated after living for more than 10,000 years told her that she would encounter unknown things in this extremely unsuitable environment. The enemy must not turn back to test the enemy's strength personally, but should immediately move to an open area where you can perform your best. Even if you try to fight, you have to do it where you can show your best!

Lily also looked back and saw the frightening tentacles rushing towards her in the darkness. The fur on her tail became even fluffier: "Bat, what did you lure out?"

"I didn't lure it out! It had already sensed that we were approaching, and it had been slowly crawling out just now!"

"Quickly think of a way to block it temporarily!" Lily looked back again, "It feels like it's getting closer!"

Vivian immediately split a small group of bats and went out. Before she had time to accumulate power, she tried her best to hit a lightning strike.

Only a loud roar was heard, and the lightning strike exploded in the closed tunnel, causing eardrum-breaking noise. It also made the originally dark underground world suddenly light up like daylight. Lily was not prepared for it, and was almost blinded by a blind dog. Eye (correct), but this time she had no time to call out to Vivian, but continued to run without stopping: "Have you killed her yet?!"

Vivian's voice came from all directions through the bat swarm: "Keep running!!"

The chase lasted for a long time, and Lily almost felt that the tunnel would never end. But just when she had this idea, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of her.

It's where she laid the shaft before!

At night, the outpost ruins by the Blood Lake were shrouded in an atmosphere of deathly silence. However, a thunderous roar suddenly came from the underground and broke the tranquility. Several small beasts resting here at night were startled by the strange noise. , fled in panic.

A silver-white figure and a large group of black bats rushed out of a hole in the camp almost at the same time.
