"This...this is too crazy." Drusala said unable to restrain her thoughts.
After observing for a while, Darkus and Drew LS left. They continued to move forward, but something became more and more wrong as they moved forward. The fog disappeared, and only scattered fireflies floated around them. The two of them seemed to be entering a maze, occasionally entering dead ends, occasionally being forced to turn back, and in some places the passage would rotate ninety degrees for no reason.
"There seems to be no rhyme or reason to the layout of this maze, look to the left and you'll see a dead end. If we go right, I have no doubt that once the corridor turns we'll reach a dead end as well."
"Why are you so sure? "Dakuus asked with admiration.
"Although there are no rules here, there is a pattern here, which is obvious." Drusala said with a mysterious smile.
The maze continued until Darkus and Drew LS stood in a huge room, staring into a huge pit. The ceiling above had collapsed, and tons of boulders had fallen, crushing everything below. Huge webs formed a new roof overhead, blocking part of the moonlight. Raindrops fell, and the wet drops made him shiver.
"We are in the center of this place, and the entrance is directly below us." Drusala said, pointing to the pit.
"It seems that we have to stay here for a while. What I am looking for is near here, maybe down here." Darkus shrugged and said, he could already feel the stone slab not far from him. place.
"The stones here are still partially protected by the inscriptions. We need warlocks and soldiers. We will solve it within five days!" Drusala affirmed at first, and then asked, "Dear, what about us now?" "
Let's go back and search. ..." In the middle of speaking, Darkus' body suddenly tensed up, and he listened while looking around.
"Something is approaching!" Drusala changed the black willow staff in her right hand to her left hand, and then took out the noble sword from her waist and said solemnly.
"Is this the first time we two fight side by side?" Darkus was not about to run. He drew out the flaming scarlet sword and said with a smile.
"Yes, dear, it's just the two of us!"
It's strange that the monsters that appeared can be called spiders. They use six long legs to leap along the edge of the pit and the spider web on the roof, but the strange thing is that Darkwu Si felt that their structure was different from traditional spiders. They had an extra body, like a centaur version of a spider-man.
Darkus saw in the spider's face and eyes that there was no wisdom that a spider should have. Instead, it looked more like a human being, with endless malice and overwhelming hatred. Glowing fungi streaked their sides, and wild wails emanated from the mouths of the spiders, perhaps a dozen in number.
"No! There's something wrong with these spiders!"
Darkus also noticed that there were two manipulating arms on the front of the spider's body. Perhaps the spiders were the ones that chewed the bones into pieces. There were also a few spiders crawling along the wall. hanging, magically suspended on the wall.
Immediately after the spider, a group of mutants armed with spears, slings and clubs rushed out from behind. Darkus saw traces of being distorted by chaotic energy on these mutants. What was even stranger was that the mutants used a mixture of Looking at the spiders with fear and awe, it was hard to tell whether the mutants were driving the spiders away or whether the spiders were dominating the mutants.
"Maybe we should leave right away!" After Darkus finished speaking, he raised his scarlet sword horizontally and stood in front of Drusala. He was not reckless enough to kill all these monsters with his unparalleled weapon. He wanted to do it. The purpose is to protect our mage and firepower turret.
Drusala raised the staff and fired a jet of golden flames towards the place where the monsters were most concentrated. The wind of Qianmen mixed with a small amount of Aksha's wind to form a destructive metal storm.
Several thrown spears were instantly melted and withered into black ashes as they flew. The heart-rending screams of the mutants echoed off the ancient walls, and their flesh melted and flowed freely like wax. Through it all, spiders kept showing up.
When Metal Storm comes into contact with the spiders, the pattern of spots on their sides becomes brighter, and they appear to move faster.
At this time, Drusala was at full fire. She took a big step, moved to the right of Darkus, and gave way to the gap. She did not need to make any gestures at all, and she held the noble sword flat. The next second Black lightning spurted out from the noble sword, and the mutants with animal faces had expressions of fear on their faces, and then their bodies were torn apart by the black lightning.
"There's something wrong with these spiders. They seem to be immune to magic attacks." Drew LS shouted anxiously as he prepared to cast spells again.
At the same time, the spider at the front had already rushed up. Darkus did not use the power on Kodi's breastplate. Drusala was still beside him as an important combat force. If he was inspired It was a joke when lightning struck Drusala. He wielded the scarlet sword and slashed at the spider's waving control arm. The burning scarlet sword split open the shell-armored control arm like a butter knife. Then he spun around and slashed the scarlet sword on the spider's control arm. The connection between the spider's abdomen and the main body was broken, and the spider's upper body broke off.
Darkus did not wander around to think about those things. He caught a glimpse of movement from the corner of his eye. He immediately dodged a flying stone bullet. The stone bullet shattered on the wall. He sensed Drew behind him. Sala was still moving laterally, and he also cooperated to block Druzala's left side.
Soon, Darkus captured the concentrated area of the spiders. He did not hesitate and raised the scarlet sword. His spirit was connected with the angry fire element in the scarlet sword. The blade burned and the flames flickered.
At that moment, the flames burned more and more intensely on the Scarlet Sword, and the color of the flames turned as crimson as blood. Then all the flames flew toward the tip of the sword and converged, forming a fireball. In the blink of an eye, the fireball erupted from the tip of the scarlet sword, drew an arc in the air and hit the spider concentration area, and then a huge explosion occurred in the dense space.
But the imagined scene did not happen. The group of spiders were just knocked away by the shock wave, but they did not turn into a pile of burnt ash. Instead, they rolled and adjusted their bodies, roaring towards Darkus under the flames. Come.
"What a fool!" Darkus yelled angrily. He could feel that there was something obviously wrong with this. The spider's carapace could be broken with a single blow, but it could resist attacks such as magic or fire. It had obviously been alienated.
Darkus began to chop left and right. He first cut through the sticky webs that the spiders shot at him, and then chopped down two spiders. The scarlet sword as sharp as a ladder knife was swung left and right. Dancing like a whirlwind, it kept slashing.
The stench in the space was almost unbearable for Darkus. The spider's hot blood was boiling on his body. His body smelled of rot, mold, and staleness, mixed with rotten eggs and curdled milk. This made him want to gag. He gritted his teeth, grabbed the hilt of the sword with both hands, twisted the sword, and once again turned into a whirlwind of death among the spider corpses.
After sensing that the spider's carapace had magic resistance, Drew LS also adjusted her magic. Deha's energy was constantly concentrated by her. Whenever she pointed at a spider with the noble sword, the spider rushed forward with inertia. After a few steps, he lay still on the ground. Deha's energy penetrated directly through the carapace, causing the blood and muscles in the spider's body to boil and twist.
Energy flickered and flames danced.
Darkus slashed the scarlet sword at the spider again, but this spider was obviously different from the previous spider. The spider's control arm did not break in response, and black mucus seeped out from the wound, quickly sealing the wound. The other control arm suddenly attacked him. He had just drawn out the scarlet sword and was already unable to avoid it. He held the scarlet sword tightly in both hands and held it flat in front of his forehead. The spider hit him with the force of a steamroller. Knocking him directly to the ground. His jaw cracked and his hands were numb. Fortunately, the scarlet sword did not fly away.
"I'll deal with this."
Darkus shouted after rolling. He could see the sharp hooks with barbs on the legs of the spider that attacked his previous position, the kind that could cut bones in half. The scarlet sword pierced the spider's lower abdomen, and black liquid dripped from the wound, burning where it touched his skin. He endured the pain, rolled over again and stood up. The spider that was hit hard roared, with hatred in its eyes. It tried to grab Darkus with its control arm, but it was obvious that the control arm was not that long.
Darkus took advantage of this opportunity to grab the long hair on the back of the spider, and turned over on the spider's back. He could feel that his skin that came into contact with the spider liquid was a little numb. He needed to resolve the battle before that. He gritted his teeth and activated the flames of the scarlet sword, then stabbed it fiercely into the spider's back.
The spider made a violent scream, the sound was terrifying and strange, just like the sound that a child can make before the voice changes. It began to shake left and right, as if it wanted to shake off the things on its back.
Darkus did not choose to pull out the scarlet sword and thrust it in again. The scarlet sword inserted into the spider's back was the only place he could support. He chose to pull the scarlet sword, trying to enlarge the wound on the spider's back. . Although the spider was still struggling, he could feel that the spider's struggle was getting weaker and weaker. He also took the opportunity to see how Drusala was doing.
Drusala's condition is obviously better than Darkus expected. At this moment, she is constantly moving in mid-air, avoiding the spider webs shot at her. She is like a judge. Whoever the noble sword is pointed at will be judged. He died a moment later.
Soon, the spider under Darkus stopped struggling and his body collapsed to the ground. He directly pulled out the scarlet sword, aimed at the joint between the carapace on the back of the spider's head, stabbed it in hard, then twisted and pushed deeply.
As this spider, who was obviously an elite or a commander, let out a dying cry, the other spiders quickly turned around and tried to retreat into the darkness, but Drusala obviously had no intention of letting them go. They picked them up early and later. Sooner or later, you have to clean up, and the escaping spiders continue to fall to the ground.
Darkus nodded with satisfaction. He had not fought for a long time and had transformed again. He seemed to be more capable than before? He became more at ease in the battle. He deeply understands that this world is not just about having rights, but also about supporting personal strength, and personal strength is very important. If he didn't kill others on the battlefield, others would come to kill him. No matter how busy he was, he never put aside practicing martial arts.
As the spiders retreated, the space became quiet again. Darkus could clearly hear the sounds of horns and drums everywhere in the ruins. He knew what this meant, but that was all. He believed in Faith Edley. Ze's warriors can handle it. Those spiders were not magical creatures. They needed to eat. There were only so many resources around them. In his opinion, that was all. Otherwise, he would still be fighting.
Drusala, who had already landed on the ground, walked quickly to Darkus, her eyes full of concern.
Darkus shook his head at Drusala, inserted the scarlet sword into the scabbard, and raised his hands in front of his eyes.
Drusala nodded but still said nothing.
Deha energy covered Darkos' body, and through the gaps in the armor, he could see that the liquid stuck to his skin began to turn purple, then turned black and hardened, and began to crack and peel off, looking like sloughing. Same layer of skin. After taking off his gloves, he looked at the pink and rough back of his hand. He felt that it was more painful, as if it had been wiped with alcohol. He could feel the energy coursing through his veins, the tendons throbbing and spasming but still.
"If there was any poison, it has been removed now." Drusala said with concern.
Darkus didn't say anything, but chose to hold Drusala in his arms. He put his cheek next to Drusala's cheek. Suddenly, his nose sniffed, and he didn't smell Drusala. Instead of pulling the smell emanating, I could smell the stench emanating from the space.
"Ah~ This is not romantic at all. It stinks. I think of the place where we had our first date again." Darkus whispered in Drusala's ear.
"My dear, as long as you are here, everything is the same to me."
"I don't think so. I would rather soak in the hot springs in Salta Province with you, and when everything is over, we will build a manor there. While soaking in the hot springs and looking at the scenery of the Kauchen Plain, I have already thought about the layout of the manor." Darkus said, but he really wanted to retire there after everything was over.
After being bored for a while, Darkus and Drusala endured the stench and began to examine the spiders.
Perhaps it is not appropriate to call these monsters spiders, and they should be called "nerubians". Darkus thought of the monsters living in Northrend that had transformed from aqirs into nerubians in another world.
The strange structure, intelligence, and carapace that can resist magic attacks. Based on the concept of taking ownership first, all the evidence points to one direction. He believes that these spider demons should be some ancient people. Saint's interesting creation, maybe there is a biological laboratory in this ruins, but fortunately there should be no scary monsters like Rang Dan here? Otherwise, Obion Island would have disappeared long ago.
As for those mutants? Darkus suspected that it was the unbearable past of the Obion natives. Human beings would inevitably mutate under the raging chaos energy. Those mutants should be the followers of the spider demon. Due to historical and other reasons, the mutants brought the spider demon to As some kind of object of worship.
After studying for a while, Darkus and Drusala left. They were exhausted and did not want to go down there again.
The battle in the ruins is still going on. From time to time, horns and shouts of death are heard, as well as the screams of monsters before they die. Occasionally, the wounded and trophies are transported back.
Darkus did not pay attention to Drusala who was treating the wounded because Mahe attracted him. He was novel about the unique Druid of Obion Island. If that is correct, although it was not the same as System Learning Eight Humans who practice wind magic are all called druids, but they are probably not the same thing.
Kneeling on the ground, Maher raised his hands to the sky and kept singing a tune that sounded like a dirge.
Nothing happened at first, but after a while, Darkus noticed that the moon's light seemed to be directed to Maher's hands. Slowly, the light became brighter, exuding soft warmth.
After a while, Maher's hands were like spindles, and the slender silver threads seemed to be woven by the moonlight. They spread out. The silver threads jumped onto the twitching body of the wounded man and became entangled until the silver threads were like reflections on the water. It shone like the moon, and then the silver line slowly began to disappear. Except that the wounded man's body no longer twitched, nothing seemed to change.
Darkus glanced at Drusala with a questioning look in his eyes, and Drusala nodded to him. Obviously, Drusala sensed the change in the wind of magic, and what Maher cast should be a spell, not a divine spell. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In his opinion, the spell was very good, regardless of whether it was useful or not. If it was a divine spell, he would have to re-evaluate and understand this mysterious island.
Then Darkus became the chef again. He first made two pots, one pot was used to cook red pozzoli, and another pot was used to boil water purified by magic, and the bandages were put into the pot. It's cooked. After finishing here, he became a breeder again and went to feed the cold lizards. By the time he finished feeding them, it was already midnight.
The battle was still going on, and the Drukis were constantly coming and going, sometimes transporting the wounded, sometimes treating wounds, or replenishing their strength with a mouthful of heat, boasting about their experience in the battle, sorting out their weapons and equipment, taking arrows, and setting off again. .
"Sir, I discovered two special places." Renhui reported after returning.
Darkus clicked, and together with the place where he fought Drusala before, this ruins has three special points in total, maybe more?
"Get some rest first, we have to stay here for a few days."
