Act 14 Girant's Tomb

After the figures of Freya disappeared completely, Brando calmed down. Unlike sneaking into a pasture from the other direction, you can take the cover of a colorful forest, and the low forest from here to the bottom is almost against the line of sight of a whole team of skeleton soldiers.

Risk-taking is essential, but unnecessary risk is not to be taken. He decided to wait until it was later in the day before starting action, although the undead could look directly at life energy, but their search range was limited at night.

But Brando is not without work. He is observing the patrolling rules of the bones below. Soon he found a gap between the opposing patrols, and he could get a ten-second interval between the two scattered groups staggered.

He looked at the terrain—there was a distance of 20 meters from here to the dwarf forest below, and he had 2 energy levels of dexterity, but in a weak state, the attributes could not be called to the full state. The ten-meter back and forth and digging out the key buried under the tree seemed like an impossible challenge.

He decided to take a different approach.

The sky darkened quickly.

to act. He said to himself in his heart that his whole body melted into the dim environment, and his heart was pounding so nervously.

This is a game that takes your life to play. What other game's death penalty is more exciting than this?

He stared down with bated breath, and counted fourteen times silently—just the time it takes for two pairs of bone racks to cross each other, and then he first threw the sword in that direction, which was the first step.

Twenty meters away, the sword slammed into the soft fallen leaves with a squeak. Brando waited in fright for a long time, and he was relieved when the No. 1 patrol passed by him for the second time to confirm that everything was normal.

Next is the focus of the plan. Brando counted silently for the second time, and when the bones of the two teams crossed for the third time, he took a deep breath and rushed out. At that time, his mind was almost blank, and he could neither think nor worry about anything. There was only one goal—speed, speed up.

three seconds.

Brando arrived and took a long breath. He squatted down, chopped up the fallen leaves, grabbed his sword and started digging, but the efficiency was very slow, beyond his expectations. While digging, he counted in his heart, one, two, three.

six seconds.

He reserved an extra second for himself, then threw away the sword and started running back, the scenery around him was almost dashing. He burrowed into the bushes and stopped, feeling that his heart was about to stop.

The skeleton soldiers staggered past for the fourth time, not discovering his presence. Brando took a deep breath and felt that the stimulation made his hands and feet feel a little weak, but the accelerated secretion of adrenaline also made him deeply excited.

Then he pulled back and continued to wait, waiting for the second round. The second attack Brando calmed down a lot, but this time it was just as unsuccessful.

The third time he only dug for two seconds, because he had already felt a significant decrease in physical strength. Then for the fourth time, he finally came into contact with the cold, square foreign object under the soil layer. Brando had never seen this thing before, but at this moment his heartbeat increased uncontrollably.

This is it.

There was a certainty in Brando's heart. For a moment, he couldn't help but want to dig this thing out, but he knew that the time was not enough. He took a breath to calm himself, put down the sword, and ran back.

For the fifth time, Brando had completely calmed down. He ran under the tree, picked up the sword and started to pry the square stone slab, the thing loosened immediately, but it was at this moment that Brando's ears moved - wait, the sound is wrong, the following The route of the Bone Shelf patrol has changed.

impossible! Our hero felt a chill in his heart. He wondered if God had played this malicious joke on him. Madara's Skeleton Soldiers lack basic intelligence, and it is impossible for them to adjust their patrol plans on their own.

Unless there is a corpse witch's intention behind it - but the corpse witch will not change his original intention for no reason.

unless there is an external invasion.

Brando's past experience in the game became very clear at this moment, he couldn't help but glanced at the direction of the ranch, could it be that Freya and Essen were exposed? But looking down that direction from the hillside was peaceful, and the young man immediately overturned the idea.

The ka-ka steps of the skeleton soldiers in the back became closer, and the monsters should see him. Brando felt his blood coagulate, what should he do? Below are six bone racks, any of which could kill him now.

After the wind ring? No, not to mention that it will cause trouble if the sound is too loud, it is already very good to hit three skeletons with the volume of the wind bullet, what should I do with the rest?

Brando felt his scalp getting numb, and he kept reminding himself to keep calm and think about how he usually does at this time in the game. By the way, by taking advantage of the advantages, every attribute point and skill in the player's hand can be used to survive in a desperate situation.

Just use your imagination.

He immediately thought of a possibility, but the crazy idea also frightened him. This is not a game, Brando, can you afford that? He couldn't help but ask himself, but the skeleton soldiers were getting closer and he had to make a choice.

He took a breath, and immediately stabbed the sword across his belly.

The tearing pain came from the abdomen, and the strong feeling was ten thousand times stronger than in the game. Brando groaned and almost fell to his knees. He felt like he was going crazy, and the big beads of sweat came out of his forehead, but at the same moment, the footsteps of the skeleton soldiers stopped.

It succeeded, the Unyielding skill worked, and it fooled the skeletons without wisdom.

Brando didn't dare to neglect. He resisted the dizziness and drew out the sword. Although he had deliberately avoided the key point, the blood splattered all over the ground. The young man didn't dare to look at it. He almost had difficulty breathing and used his sword to pry out the square stone slab, then turned around and slid all the way down the hillside.

He had five minutes to save himself, and his life was on the line.

The fire of the soul inspired by the unyielding skill supported him to stumble all the way to the village, but Brando was startled just as he groped into the village. There were white bones everywhere between the ruins of the building - those brand new The skeletons of the corpse are the masterpieces of the corpse witch, affected by the summoning of the soul, they crawled out of the cemetery, or crawled out of the flesh.

Under the gradually darkening sky, these white bones gave people a huge sense of depression. Fortunately, Brando had a lot of knowledge, otherwise he would have collapsed with fright.

He calmed down and counted the number, and only saw more than fifty, which is not a small number, which means that Madara's aggression strength is increasing with the pace of their progress. But the only reassuring thing was that Brando knew that these thin bones were not on the same level as their darkened counterparts.

Even slightly worse than an ordinary adult man.

Brando watched and moved forward, his goal being the small shrine in the village, which should be due north—if his memory wasn't messed up. And among the many disadvantages brought by death, there is always one advantage, that is, the undead wandering on the street regards him as the same kind, even if Brando slams into these headless guys, the latter is estimated to adjust the balance at most and then Keep going.

This is hugely positive news.

With this advantage, it only took him more than three minutes to find the shrine of Calidas - but it seems that the undead of Madara do not have much respect for the god of pottery in the game, because They have collapsed one of the walls of this shrine.

This provided Brando with a lot of convenience. He directly went in along the wall, it was pitch black, and he could not see his fingers. Brando remembered that this shrine was rebuilt later, but he groped inside for a while and found that the internal environment was still the same, and he quickly found the way to the meditation room with memory.

To his surprise, there was a wandering skeleton in the meditation room, which shocked Brando in the dark, but fortunately his nerves were strong enough. But he quickly calmed down and took a deep breath to reassure himself that he was just a puppet without any intelligence.

But his breathing was getting harder, his vision was starting to blur, and he had about a minute left.

Brando recalled that the entrance of the secret passage should be behind the podium. He groped there and found the square depression. At that moment, he really felt like Martha was on top. He almost shivered and pressed the slate in, for fear that God would play another malicious joke on him.

Luckily not, in the pitch-black silence there was a light click first, then a second, then a muffled rumbling from the ground, and finally a clatter, and he felt a breeze blowing behind him.

Brando turned his head and saw the tomb passage down at a glance—there was light in it, and the walls of the passage were inlaid with purple shimmering crystals, which were not valuable—but the light was too dim, so it was not affected by it. widely used.

He shook his head, and the dizziness almost knocked him down. There is no such thing in the game-the player will not feel any discomfort within five minutes of the indomitable skill in Amber Sword, but when the time is up, you will Even the nerves are as tough as a cow, and they have to fall down immediately.

Brando was still supported almost by his own will, and the desire to survive prompted him to grit his teeth and move forward. As he walked, he recalled the origin of this tomb passage-the Templar buried here was a famous NPC, that person was called Girant or something, a native born here, he participated in Egypt Lu Yin's war of independence and integrity in his life, after his death, people buried him back to his hometown according to the requirements of his death.

It is said that this place used to be a forest, and then a shrine was built on it. The people of the Temple of Flames modified the tomb of the Templar, so that he could sleep in the peace of the kingdom of God forever. The sword called Zhanguang's thorn that Brando is looking for is also the weapon that the knight used before his death. The young man did not intend to disturb the peace of the deceased, but presumably the other party did not want those undead in his homeland. Wreck at will.

The young man gradually began to gasp. He struggled to support the wall of the tomb passage for 20 to 30 meters, and the end of his vision gradually became brighter - such a long-lasting soft white light must be the effect of some kind of high-quality shimmering gemstone. , Brando was refreshed and realized that he was getting close to his goal.

But before he had time to breathe a sigh of relief, a black shadow suddenly fell on the ceiling, two steel claws clasped his shoulders and suddenly lifted him up.

Brando felt a huge force penetrate his limbs, like two iron cables attached to his body, which made him unable to move. He immediately realized that this was an absolute gap in strength, which had at least four energy levels. He was horrified, and his in-game experience immediately made him realize what it was—a gargoyle. The guy who completed the mission in the past never said that there was a gargoyle in the tomb passage.

The gargoyle is the masterpiece of the Buga craftsman wizard, a monster of the 23rd level, and the lower-level corpse witch has become a gentle baby compared to it.

Before Brando could think about it, he felt himself rising into the air, it was a cloudy and foggy feeling-he felt himself flying over a long distance, and then his back slammed into the icy tomb. wall. All the bones in his body groaned, as if they were broken one by one.

But our protagonist didn't have the heart to worry about it at the moment. He got up and shook his head, and saw that the gargoyle was chasing after him like a ghost.

Is there still a chance?
