Chapter 60
Where did Athos go?
Lucia thought she didn't find it. She turned to look at Mistry, who was also observing with a telescope. After looking around carefully, she shook her head: "Not here."
"Did he go to sleep in the tent?" Lucia guessed.
"It's possible." Mistry glanced at it and found that there were at least hundreds of tents surrounding it, with a helpless expression on his face, "This is too much."
Nothing if it's in the tent, but what if it's in the monster's place?
Lucia held the pen and flew slowly above the huge monster.
Looking down from here, can see the whole picture of the exposed part of the monster.
The part it pulled out looked like the head of a jellyfish, with arms around it, pale in color, and the wound turned blue-black like a bruise.
But this monster didn't have a drop of blood. Its body that was nailed to the ground was slowly rising and falling, and its tentacles were squirming slightly. It seemed that it might burst out and hurt people again at any time.
From the head of the monster, Lucia saw a pitch-black hole, fixed by transparent ice around it, opening a road to the ground.
Could it be that Athos went to explore below?
Lucia thinks this is very likely. After all, Athos is the hero of the novel, and he is indispensable for this kind of thing related to the main plot.
"Want to go in?" Mistry knew from Lucia's appearance that she was curious, and suggested kindly, "Then let's go in and have a look?"
"Won't you be in danger?" Lucia hesitated.
"It doesn't matter if I'm here."
Lucia was particularly moved by what Mistry said. She glanced at the warriors surrounding the monster and whispered, "Will we be discovered if we go down?"
"I've already prepared for this." Mistriello took out a packet of powder from his waist, "Just sprinkle this on, and you can be invisible."
After sprinkling invisibility powder all over her body and feathers, Lucia discovers that the invisibility powder is not the same as her thief suit.
When wearing the thief suit, she can see her body and Mistry, but if the invisibility powder is used, not only the quill and Mistry, but also herself.
Lucia groped for the tip of the pen by feeling, and pinched it a little nervously, wanting to drop it slowly.
When she couldn't see herself or the quill, she was really a little nervous.
A pair of warm hands were wrapped around Lucia's little hands, and the young Mistry's voice carried his unique softness: "Don't worry, I'm here."
"Okay, okay!" Lucia pressed the pen down shyly and at ease, and the two flew down.
As the distance got lower and lower, the hole that looked small from the sky became bigger and bigger, and it looked like it was five or six meters wide.
The entrance to the cave is guarded by four well-armed temple guards.
Lucia carefully and slowly descended from above, and finally entered the interior of this huge monster.
After flying into the monster's body, Lucia realized what a huge behemoth it was. The wound that didn't seem to be big on its body was actually very wide when it entered.
Lucia carefully operated the quill and flew slowly.
The monster's body was perpendicular to the ground at first, and after flying downward for a while, it began to gradually become parallel to the ground.
The surrounding flesh wall, like the monster's wound, was frozen in ice and turned blue-black. There are some places where the ice wall is not covered, and the meat wall is slowly squirming like breathing.
After flying in the empty passage for a while, Lucia asked in a low voice, "Speaking of which, will this monster hurt?"
"Huh?" Mistry thought he had heard it wrong. "What did you say?"
Lucia gestured for the hole in the monster: "It's this monster, will it hurt like this?"
Mistry raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "Sorry, I don't know about this either, but I think it shouldn't hurt."
"Hmm~" Lucia raised her tail, and another question popped up, "How long is this monster? I feel like I've been flying for a long time."
"Shh," Mistry said. "There's a voice up front."
Lucia quickly shut up and carefully stopped the flight, listening but couldn't hear anything.
"I'll do it," Mistry whispered.
Lucia let go of her hand, leaned back against Mistry's chest, and started to be the driver of the hand-swinging.
After Mistry started manipulating the quill, the speed of his flight increased significantly. He moved forward at a rapid pace, and soon Lucia heard the sound.
A series of slow and messy footsteps got closer and closer, Mistry held Lucia's head down, raised the quill, and the two almost rubbed against the ice wall above their heads.
Lucia couldn't help but grabbed Mistry's clothes and saw a large number of walking corpses under their feet, slowly moving forward.
A large number of walking corpses could not see the end, the two of them moved forward all the way, and finally heard the sound of battle.
At the forefront was a vanguard of more than ten people, and Lucia really saw his brother in it.
This vanguard has reached the end of the passage, and in front of the passage of ice is the constantly wriggling flesh wall.
And the walking corpses kept emerging from there, besieging the team.
Athos stood at the outermost edge of the team, cutting the approaching corpses.
During the battle, Athos had a calm and resolute expression. The dark spear in his hand swept across, and the surrounding walking corpses were cut in half like straw.
At the forefront of the vanguard were two temple guards holding giant axes. They were dressed in full armor and attacked the newborn corpses directly with the giant axes.
This group of people is like a meat grinder, mechanically and efficiently beheading the walking corpses around, but there are still more and more enemies around.
A knight with a shield guarded the two people at the center of the team, a pair of extremely beautiful twins.
The girl among them was wearing a dark green vest and murmured a spell in her mouth. The golden scepter in her hand was raised high, and light projected from the eyes of the crow statue on the top of the scepter, covering the group.
The boy in the ice-white robe held a piece of white bone in his hand and whispered a prayer.
As the prayer grew louder, the knight guarding next to him shouted, "Get out of the way!"
The front of the boy suddenly became empty, he threw the bones in his hand, and the bones drifted forward slowly as if alive.
Where it passed, all the walking corpses turned into dust, and the body of the monster blocking the front also collapsed, the passage was extended again, and ice was frozen on the meat wall.
Was the original channel made like this?
Lucia looked at other people's magic, and her envious eyes were not wide open. She didn't dare to speak, so she whispered in her head: [People's magic is so cool. γ
Mistry felt a sense of crisis: [Our magic is cool too,]
[It's always like drawing cards and changing clothes. γ Lucia retorted, γand the combat special effects are not as good as others. γ
[Isn't there a healing technique before? γ Mistry immediately reminded Lucia, γAs long as you see people, you can heal them. γ
Lucia replied: [I actually thought about this too. If I use the healing technique during the battle and accidentally see the enemy, will the enemy's wounds be healed as well? γ
[β¦] Itβs really hard to answer!
Mistry pondered for a while, and finally regained his confidence: [Miss Lucia, you asked a very good question. In order to reward you for being smart, I will give you a thousand more cards. Token. γ
γWhat about improvement? γ
[Please use up the 'one-time healing technique' as soon as possible, so that there will be no mistakes. ] Mistry's commercial answer.
Just as Lucia and Mistry were bickering, the group finally finished walking the monster's body and entered the underground passage.
This is a wide passage with a diameter of more than ten meters, exuding the smell of damp soil. Walking into the passage, the vanguard team paused and carefully observed the surroundings.
Lucia also raised her height and observed the cave with the light from the maiden's scepter.
The huge monster bodies were piled up behind him, and there was a dark and deep hole in front of him. Lucia was nervous and excited, and stretched his neck to see what was in the depths.
"Should we go back and report the results of this exploration first?"
The vanguard below is also discussed.
"There is nothing new to discover at the moment, let's explore a little further."
As for whether to go back or continue to explore, several members of the vanguard have different opinions.
Athos quietly listened to the opinions of the others, and began to propose: "For such a large cave, we may not be enough to go deeper. In the underground, the priest of Ms. Yemendro is the safest."
"Furthermore, the two Your Royal Highnesses are also a little tired."
After Athos finished speaking, everyone looked at the pair of beautiful twins in the middle, and found that their expressions were indeed very tired.
"Looks like that's all it takes."
This time, the opinions of several people reached an agreement. When everyone retreated, the ground under their feet suddenly fell into the void, and everyone fell uncontrollably!
Athos didn't have time to take a closer look, he grabbed the person beside him, and the spear in his hand slammed into the soil around him. He used his strength to move up, and after a few tosses, he regained his footing in the huge cave.
In the entire cave, except for him and the saintess he had just pulled up, everyone else fell into the deep cave.
"F, what happened?" The Holy Maiden still didn't respond, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Where are the others?"
"Don't make a sound." Athos whispered, clenching the spear tightly, and being on guard.
There was not the slightest sound around, and there seemed to be nothing unusual except for the extra big hole.
But Athos didn't let his guard down at all. Finally, he heard the slight wind and raised his spear sharply.
The sound of metal collision echoed in the cave.
As soon as Athos hit it, he instantly confirmed the opponent's location, and the spear in his hand did not stop at all, piercing forward.
Blood flowers appeared out of thin air in the air.
"...As expected of you, Athos." The young man's voice sounded, and a figure slowly appeared in the dark cave.
This figure is like the change from no moon to a new moon, increasing little by little, and finally all of them appear.
He has a beautiful and fragile face, and his long white and slender hands caressed his neckβa wound opened there by Athos.
Athos had no surprises: "Fast."
