Chapter 88: Rodament

The third floor of the sewer.

After thousands of years of expansion, the sewer of Lugaoin has now formed a three-layer structure in the shape of a pyramid. The area of ​​the first floor is only slightly larger than the inner city of Lugaoin. The area of ​​the second floor is more than five times larger. The third floor was expanded by Lugaoin for future development to more than ten times.

But with such a large area, the entrance to the third floor was found so quickly.

Gross wanted to cry but had no tears, not knowing whether to be thankful or sad. He really didn't know the terrain of the sewer. He could have used the huge and complex structure of the second floor of the sewer to avoid the pursuit of the undead creatures, but the result was counterproductive.

Should I really run to the third floor?

This idea only appeared for less than a second before Gross flatly denied it. The place where the demons invaded was the third floor of the sewer. Now entering the third floor of the sewer, a mage with high attack and low defense without a meat shield in front, wouldn't it be a waste of death?

"Absolutely can't enter the third floor." Gross once again reaffirmed his inner belief. The second floor of the sewer is the bottom line. Entering the third floor, there is only one way to die.

Looking around, Gross's heart sank. This is a dead end. The entrance to the third floor of the sewer is surrounded by damp and rotten walls. This place, which is about the size of a room, is not bad. With the help of the not-so-spacious corridor, it is no problem to resist here for more than ten or twenty minutes. But this is the entrance to the third floor of the sewer. God knows whether the undead creatures or demons on the third floor will appear from below.

Once they appear, it will be a situation of catching turtles in a jar.

The dense footsteps behind him lingered in his ears, and Gross felt indescribably aggrieved. If it weren't for that damned soul, how could he face such a desperate situation.

I want to survive! I want revenge!

Gross's firm belief collapsed. These undead creatures have no wisdom, and they only act on instinct to kill the enemies in front of them. As long as they enter the next floor, these undead creatures will lose their target and will naturally disperse. The idea of ​​putting them to death and then surviving quickly occupied his heart. He gritted his teeth and took out a bottle of physical potion to drink.

After drinking the potion, his body, which had already reached the peak of collapse, was like a sweet rain, and quickly generated new strength. Gross took a breath and walked down the stairs with a dark face.

The third floor of the sewer was even more humid. After the sewer of Lugaoin was divided into three layers, the first and second layers were only used for drainage, and the third layer was the place where Lugaoin discharged sewage every day. The sewage was discharged into the Twin Sea through the drainage ditch. As you can imagine, the smell here is really bad.

"If I can get out alive, I will never let you go." Gross's face was livid, and he gritted his teeth and cursed the soul who put him in this predicament.

Suddenly, a few light footsteps floated in the darkness. These sounds were not like those of undead creatures such as burning skeletons, and there was no sound of bones crackling. Gross was shocked.

Sand Knight.

Gross was a little flustered. Although he had never entered the sewer, he had heard related rumors from Graz. The damp and dark environment of the sewers is destined to be the place where undead creatures live. The Sand Knights are a kind of demons with two hands, similar to mummies.

They like dry and hot environments. Outside the city of Lugaoin is their real living place. In the past, they did not appear much in the sewers. Except for a few Sand Knights wandering around the sewers. More of them gathered around Rodament to act as guards. The appearance of Sand Knights here means that this demon invasion is more serious than before.

"Is Rodament nearby?" Gross's face turned pale.

He was very confident in his strength. He had the confidence to protect himself against less than ten undead creatures, even if it was a mutated undead creature like this, and even spent a lot of money to destroy it. But if he met Rodament, he would be in danger.

Under the dim firelight, Gross tensed his nerves and did not move. He stared at the direction where the sound came from and distinguished it carefully. After a while, he felt a little relieved. The footsteps were not chaotic, and it sounded like two Sand Knights.

"Will there be more?" Gross swallowed hard, not daring to relax for a moment.

Soon, the figures of two sand knights appeared in the darkness. This kind of demon is more than two meters tall, thin, wearing simple leather armor, barely covering the thin upper body.

Under the firelight, the sabers in the four hands of each sand knight flashed cold light. They seemed not to notice Gross's existence, and still walked towards this side at a slow speed.

Kill? Or not kill?

Gross was very entangled. He was confident in dealing with the two sand knights. But he was worried that if there was a big movement here, the undead creatures on the second floor would be attracted down. Sound is also one of the important factors that attract undead creatures.

In a short moment, he had made a decision. With a point of the staff, a meteorite with a diameter of two meters was surrounded by flames and fell on the heads of the two sand knights.

The sand knights looked thin, but they were actually very durable. The huge meteorite hit them, and they were just overturned to the ground. Their dried skin was covered with smoke and burned by the fire, but it did not affect their slow climb from the ground.

Gross' pupils suddenly shrank, and he quickly assessed the strength of the two sand knights. They were at least ten times stronger than the sand knights he encountered in previous adventures. The difference was that there were followers in front of him as a human shield, but now he was alone.

He had to escape.

Gross was extremely frustrated and turned around and fled decisively. Lacking a meat shield, he had no ability to kill the two Sand Knights before they got close. This kind of demon may not seem fast, but in fact, its explosive power is one of the best among Lugaoin's demons. As long as they get within two to three meters, they can get close in an instant. Those four sabers are no joke.

The Sand Knight got up from the ground, and his eyes turned blood red. Their eyesight was not good, but their perception was not weak. They almost instantly determined the source of the attack.

Hiss.

The hoarse and low roar echoed in the silent sewer, which was very penetrating. In a short moment, different roars echoed in various places in the sewer.

Gross's face became more and more ugly. This is a unique way of communication for Sand Knights. He has encountered similar situations in his previous adventures and has heard them many times. These damn demons are calling their friends and preparing to surround and kill him.

While the stamina potion was still in effect, Gross ran wildly with a dark face. He had to run as fast as he could. Once surrounded by the Sand Knights, he could only hold on for a minute at most. After all, he was just a mage, not Tal Rasha.

Just after turning a corner, Gross choked. Three or four dark shadows were vaguely walking in the darkness ahead. Judging from their height and the cold light reflecting the firelight, they were clearly several Sand Knights.

"Damn it." Gross cursed inwardly, and immediately returned to the original path and turned into another fork. Unfortunately, the third floor of the sewer had become a paradise for demons. No matter where he ran, there would be several or even dozens of Sand Knights in front of him. After turning left and right, he was dizzy, but suddenly found himself back to the original place.

Looking at the steps in front of him, Gross was going crazy. The effect of the stamina potion had long disappeared. This way of escaping, the endurance restored by the stamina potion was once again completely consumed. But after spending such a huge price, he ran back to the original place. Physical potions are also scarce in Lugaoin.

"Damn it! Damn it!" Gross swung his staff wildly and hit the steps in front of him. He had had enough. The endless pursuit, the dilemma of being forced into a desperate situation, and everything else were constantly impacting his mind. His spirit was on the verge of collapse, and he wished he could die immediately.

Click, click... dense footsteps came from the darkness. Gross's eyes were red, and he turned around suddenly. He didn't plan to escape. Even if he lost his life in this dirty sewer, he had to die in a dignified manner to maintain the dignity of a Lugaoin noble.

The sand knights walked from the darkness into the dim firelight one after another. They surrounded them from all directions. Pairs of red eyes were like rubies in the darkness.

"Come on." Gross roared violently, raised his hand and released a meteorite at the most densely populated area of ​​the Sand Knights. The huge meteorite fell from the sky and smashed directly into the Sand Knights. In the violent explosion, more than a dozen Sand Knights were swept up by the shock wave and brought down the Sand Knights behind them.

The darkness was completely dispelled by the raging flames. Under the bright firelight, the scale of the Sand Knights was completely exposed. At least hundreds of Sand Knights were densely packed in the aisles on all sides. They hissed and growled, and there was a bit of pride in their red eyes.

After Gross released a meteorite, the violent aura accumulated in his heart was released. But when he calmed down, he was already desperate in the face of hundreds of Sand Knights around him.

Hiss.

Suddenly, a very penetrating roar came from a very far distance. In an instant, all the Sand Knights trembled all over, knelt down obediently, facing the direction of the roar and pressed their foreheads tightly to the ground.

"Hmm?" Gross frowned. He had guessed the identity of the owner of the roar.

Rodament.

Only this demon lord, who was said to be a famous mage of the Horadrim clan, could make these sand knights so submissive. But how could Rodament stop these sand knights from surrounding and killing him?

Gross was at a loss.

At this time, another roar came. The sand knights on the right suddenly stood up, retreated to both sides, and made way. Gross was shocked and quickly calculated the pros and cons.

After a long time, he gritted his teeth and walked over proudly. Since he came, he had to make the best of it. No matter what conspiracy Rodament had, he had to ensure his own safety first and wait for the opportunity for Graz's rescue.

...

Half an hour later, Graz's angry roar suddenly echoed in the sewer that had regained its silence.

"Damn, he must have entered the third floor."

PS: Uh... Sorry, I'm back late again. . . Now let's do the math. . Two chapters a day, now only one chapter a day, so ashamed. I thought about it carefully, anyway, I probably don't have time to guarantee two chapters a day this week, so I might as well just write one chapter a day this week. Next week I'll have more time, including this weekend, and next Monday I'll write three chapters a day. I've been weak for a week, so I have to pull myself together. Forgive me, please forgive me.
