Chapter 292 Alliance

Tens of millions of tons of lake water were hovering above his head. At this moment, Lynch seemed to witness the scene of the sea water parting in the myth of his previous life.

It's just a mid-level soul-shifter with level 4 power. He can easily separate the lakes, as if he has the power to move mountains and fill seas. If this were high-level or even truly legendary soul-shifters, Lin Qi couldn't even imagine how powerful they would be. .

How about thinking about what will happen to your death if the two mid-levels are really enemies and use these abilities on yourself after being discovered.

Lynch sighed, put away the distracting thoughts in his mind, and hid behind Judy... no, he bravely used his body to block Judy's danger from the unattended place behind him, and together they approached the mist-shrouded entrance.

The hole was very large, with a diameter of at least five meters. It went straight up and down. Along with the strong shocking force of mysterious filth, a thick smell of death floated out from the hole.

It is indeed a tomb. With such a strong power of death, it is probably full of mysterious crises, but for Lynch, this place seems to be the most suitable stage.

Rooney followed Karl and Jenna closely, and the third one approached the entrance of the black hole. He cautiously looked back at the lake above his head and asked: "How long will it take for us to be soaked by the lake?"

"Don't worry, it's just a trick. It won't be a problem if you stick to it for a few hours."

Dr. Jenna has arrived at the entrance, and Carl Jones next to him raised the lantern in cooperation.

The effect is far less than that of the Torch of Light, but it can barely see through the fog and see clearly what's going on inside.

Just like the other side of the cliff, there is a long corridor below. The ground and walls are made of thick rocks. The damp ground reflects light under the light, and the sound of dripping water comes from the depths of the dark corridor. It is monotonous. The voice sounded particularly eerie and eerie in the darkness.

"Stop, little Carl." Dr. Jenna stopped Carl Jones's attempt to put his arm into the hole. "We are not sure whether it is safe to enter from one side, so don't rush in."

"Let me try."

Bearded Jack whistled, and then his clothes squirmed, and a gray mouse came out of his trousers and circled around his leather shoes, taking a few bites from time to time.

[Power, wildness, ability, command]

The little mouse suddenly stood up, squeaked at Jack a few times, and then crawled into the hole along the edge. Its gray fur was instantly swallowed up by the darkness, and only a small squeaking sound was heard quickly disappearing in the darkness.

"It doesn't seem to have any activation effect." After closing his eyes and waiting for a moment, Jack said slowly, "I didn't go too deep, but the situation inside was normal from visual inspection. Maybe our judgment was wrong, and we didn't need to look at both sides at the same time. Enter."

"Maybe?" Dr. Jenna sneered, "In this mysterious world, do you believe maybe?"

"It's really inappropriate." Carl Jones also said, "The souls of rats and humans are still very different and cannot be compared. But at least it can prove that there are no poisonous gases or ordinary traps inside. For the sake of safety, it is better to enter from both sides. "

"Okay, let's go back to the camp first." Dr. Jenna said calmly, "Let the workers enter from both sides to set up the light source."

Hiss, how cruel, this is obviously to use ordinary workers to explore the road at their own risk, and they are simply using any means. No wonder they will be removed from the archaeological team.

In order to hide myself, I just watched like this?

Still fighting in his heart, Rooney, who was suspected of being from the Lord God Church, said slowly:

"No, one is dead and six are missing. Once an accident happens and a few more die, the workers' already tense spirits will immediately collapse and they will flee. No one will be able to help with the work then. It’s up to us how long we want to explore such a large ancient tomb, and our resistance is much higher than that of the workers. Rather than letting them die, it’s better for us to explore the path. Although it’s a bit risky, at least we can ensure that everything goes smoothly. Advance.”

Lynch had been secretly paying attention to the expressions of these people, so he noticed that Dr. Jenna's face had always been gloomy when she heard Rooney's suggestions, as if she was quite dissatisfied, but Lynch always felt that there was something hidden in her eyes. Meaningful. But before he could figure out the doctor's thoughts, she had already relaxed her tense expression and nodded:

"Okay, if everyone agrees, then let's proceed like this, but the risk can only be borne by everyone."

When the risk was mentioned, the scene was somewhat silent again, but this time it quickly returned to normal. As a soul-shifter with a twisted soul, facing risks has long become a part of life.

"If you want to support the lake here, I will lead the team. On the other side of the cliff, you, little Carl, will be in charge." Dr. Jenna's eyes swept across everyone's faces, "The two ladies are traveling with me, and it just so happens that Sailor Ms. Nie is not familiar with the tombs. We can take care of each other. You can go over there. The specific actions will be decided according to the actual situation. If you encounter any problems, send someone back to the camp to leave a message to the other group. But you must ensure that this group does not want everyone. Everyone left the tomb."

They were all experienced veterans, and no one raised any objection to this reasonable suggestion. The three men quickly withdrew from the lake, leaving the three ladies where they were, waiting for the men's fireworks signal so that both sides could enter simultaneously. .

"Actually, the risk of letting workers in is not high." Seeing that everyone else had left, Dr. Jenna suddenly sneered and shook her head, "I'm not a cold-blooded archaeological machine. Since I dare to let workers in, it means I have a lot of potential. I’m sure there will be no problem.”

Lin Qi looked in the direction of the cliff and responded with a half-smile: "But what if something goes wrong?"

"Pfft, when it's out, it's out. Is there any archaeological activity where no one has died? We can't regard these as reasonable losses. It's better not to lead an archaeological team, otherwise the whole team may not be able to come out."

Lynch asked with great interest: "Did you leave the Archaeological Association because of 'reasonable wear and tear'?"

"On the contrary, I have only understood the meaning of reasonable wear and tear since then." Dr. Jenna smiled sarcastically, "Unfortunately, Rooney and the others do not understand this truth. Maybe they will understand it one day in the future. Ha, I hope There is still this opportunity.”

"Huh? Then why were you expelled from the Archaeological Association?"

"Because the accident was noticed by reporters and repeatedly published in the newspapers, the Archaeological Association had no choice but to abandon me in order not to be affected. I didn't like the association at first, so I just took this opportunity to leave, and I was able to do some cruel things at the same time. I scolded them, it was very satisfying, hahaha. In fact, I said I left, but I still maintained some contact with the association. After all, most people in this industry have some contact with the association, and so do a few of them."

I didn't see them holding the rare objects from the Archaeological Association and contacting the outside world.

Lin Qi sighed. The existing information could not confirm the identity of the other party. Although he did not dislike this woman, for the sake of his life safety, he still had to be extremely vigilant.

Otherwise, Salin's inexplicable death would be a precedent.

"Return to the association? That's definitely impossible, and there's no chance."

Upon hearing Lynch's question, Dr. Jenna waved her hands lazily, with a look of yearning on her face:

"As long as I complete this task, I can earn a bright future for Louise. Then I will retire and settle down in the Rhine, live with her and watch her grow up."

No, are you really not feeling guilty when you say such things? And why was it that there was no warning and nothing could be done to stop it? Lynch was startled and quickly changed the subject: "Is that your daughter?"

"Yeah, it's only this big."

It was the first time that Lin Qi saw a soft smile on her face. Just as he was about to say something, a ball of colorful light suddenly exploded in the sky.

The cliff group is already in place.

The smiles on their faces dropped at the same time, Lynch pulled Judy up, and Dr. Jenna also released a firework in response.

"You follow me, don't worry, at least there will be no problem in this section."

Dr. Jenna left a meaningful sentence and jumped into the corridor with a lantern. Lin Qi grasped the fan in his hand and jumped down with Judy in a daze.

As expected, it was surrounded by heavy and regular stones, and the environment was cold and damp. The long corridor extended forward and back, and from time to time there were corners leading to other directions. The air was relatively normal, whether it was because the other end had been open for a few hours, or because the tomb was originally like this.

The fog here is thicker than outside. Through the light beam, it can be seen that it is pouring out from the inside. The aura of dullness and death blows in the face with the fog, making Lin Qi feel depressed.

When his eyes adjusted to the light in the corridor, Lynch found Dr. Jenna leaning against the wall, gently touching the wall with her gloved fingers. Lynch also touched it, but the wall felt rough.

"Go this way." Jenna seemed to know the direction and walked straight towards a corner.

"Huh? Do you know the way?"

"I have made some preparations. After all, I really want to complete Howard's mission for Louise's future." Jenna smiled and pointed in the direction of the cliff, "So you don't need to stare at me, we have something in common. There are two things you should pay attention to now. First, some of the three of them do not want to see the ceremony completed and intend to destroy the ceremony, and the method of destroying the ceremony..."

Lynch listened with bated breath.

"The real ritual can only be completed by one person, so to destroy the ritual, you have to kill everyone except the most reliable one."

Lin Qi's face was a little stiff. The credibility of this statement was not low, which meant that the other party might really kill everyone indiscriminately, regardless of their stance, whether they were friends or foes.

"The second thing that needs attention is that it is not only the dead who sleep here, but also the servants of Lake Dweller Glaki. They wander in the dark tombs all day long, serving their terrifying master."

"So, we have to face the threats from the servants of Glaaki and the tomb itself outside, and we have to guard against the secret attack of one of the three people internally, and I can ensure that you are the only two who are absolutely fine. What do you think, do you want to consider joining me? Form an alliance and survive this mission together so that the ceremony can be completed successfully? "

"Okay, as long as you really think there is no problem between the two of us." Lynch showed a subtle smile, feeling a little sorry, "I agreed to the alliance, and I agreed on behalf of Judy. What do we need to do now?"

Jenna held Lin Qi's hand: "Take her with you, don't get lost in the fog, follow me."
