Fang Plover had no choice but to hold his breath and dive into the water. As soon as he entered the water, the bloated corpses immediately surrounded him from all directions. The bottom of the water was like a place where corpses were accumulated. Countless pale corpses. Hands stretched out densely like water plants, grabbing his hair, face, arms and feet.
Fang Yu's scalp was numb. He hurriedly broke away from these ghosts and swam to one side with all his strength. However, he soon discovered that apart from being a little disgusting, these underwater floating corpses had no special abilities - they were even slow and weak in movement. , worse than ordinary adults.
The corpse was soaked in water and turned to pieces. He struggled hard and broke one of the hands holding his wrist completely. It was unclear whether it was minced meat or something else that rose up like mist from the broken part.
Seeing this scene, Fang Yu felt his stomach churn, but he didn't dare to breathe out, let alone open his mouth. He just turned around under the water, kicked the bloated face of the floating corpse hard, and pushed it back. The reaction force suddenly broke away from the many corpses.
Before he entered the water, he remembered that the river bank was not far to the left. At this time, he no longer cared about other people and swam in that direction based on his memory. However, before he could use his strength, suddenly a rapid current swept under the water and swept him towards Go to the center of the river.
Fang Plover's footing was unsteady and he almost spun underwater. Only then did he realize that the flow on the river was steady, but the undercurrents underwater were still complicated. From somewhere ahead, he could faintly hear the sound of thousands of horses galloping in the water. .
He exhausted all his breath, waving his hands wildly under the water in vain, and finally managed to grab a sharp rock pillar. Unable to bear it, he quickly raised his head to break through the water, and opened his mouth wide to take another breath.
At this time, the flare fired earlier was still burning on the water, and the blazing white light illuminated the dark river water. Fang Yu didn't know what effect drinking the river water would have, but when he thought of the bloated corpses under the river, he I don't dare to let water enter my mouth easily.
He took a breath while holding back his nausea, and immediately shut his mouth. Then he saw a warning from Sophie pop up from the system: "Watch what's behind you!"
Fang Plover looked back and saw a huge mountain of white bones standing in the water, almost completely occupying the narrow space of the underground river. The two canoes at the back were passing by the Corpse Grave Demon one after another. Although the latter was huge in size, he was nimble in his movements. A huge bone hand rose from the water and firmly grasped one of them——
Fortunately, everyone on the Silver Veslan reacted quickly. The moment the boat was lifted out of the water, they all jumped off and fled in all directions. Upon seeing this, the Corpse Grave Demon screamed and squeezed hard, crushing the canoe to pieces. Then he slapped the water in front of him - after a loud noise, Fang Plover didn't know whether it hit anyone or not. He saw countless severed limbs flying into the air and clattering back to the water.
But most of them were the bloated stumps of corpses floating underwater.
When the Corpse Grave Demon missed its attack, the third canoe had already passed by it. After entering the water, Fang Plover felt how fast the canoe was on the water. It passed by everyone in an instant and disappeared in the water. In the darkness ahead.
The giant mountain of bones then slowly turned around, allowing everyone to see its full view. It was covered with drowned and swollen corpses, and those corpses were still squirming, waving their pale arms in vain.
But what's really impressive is that its chest is filled with internal organs and intestinal fluid, like a huge balloon, restrained within ribs, and the internal organs are filled with rotting floating corpses.
It almost looks like a giant moving tomb.
Fang Yu suddenly lowered his head when he saw this thing - there was nothing in the position of its head, only a big hole, and through the hole, the Corpse Grave Demon's chest suddenly shrank, and suddenly a rain of corpses was sprayed forward.
Seeing this, his scalp exploded, and he immediately let go and dived back into the water. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the water, a skeletal Naga swam in front of him.
This thing looks a bit like a king cobra with only the skeleton left, but in terms of body shape, it is more similar to an Amazon anaconda. It is as thick as a bucket, and the bone spurs of its cervical vertebrae spread out to both sides to form a shape like the crown of an Egyptian pharaoh. With the head of a snake and the body of a snake, despite its mediocre appearance, it is a mid- to high-level undead.
The Bone Naga releases spells, and each bone spur is highly poisonous. It is also a formidable opponent on land, let alone underwater.
When Fang Plover saw this, he secretly screamed something bad. This was really a wolf in front of him and a tiger in the back. Looking back, he saw that as soon as the mutilated corpses fell into the water, they immediately surrounded him in this direction. There were white bones from time to time on the dark river. Thick piranhas jumped out of the water.
Those little things are not big in size, but they are particularly flexible underwater, and their threat is far more terrifying than those bloated floating corpses.
Fang Plover had no choice but to throw out the Walker Type III. Fortunately, the Skeleton Naga had no brains and immediately attacked it when it saw something coming towards it - taking advantage of the opportunity of it getting entangled with the sword-wielding man, Fang Plover took advantage of it. One side slipped past.
But the piranhas at the back were not so easy to fool. They swam much faster under the water than the plovers. In a blink of an eye, they were not far behind. When the piranhas looked back, they couldn't help but despair. He is just an alchemist, and the properties of water are all due to some experience on the earth, but he can only be said to be a rough master. He can only survive to this day because of the blessing of the saints.
And in the midst of despair, a claw suddenly stretched out from above in the darkness. It was blue and covered with scales. Fang Plover looked up and found that Tenerik was hanging upside down on the roof of the cave, reaching out to him. Overjoyed, he hurriedly leaned in that direction with all his strength, grabbed the lizard man prince's hand with his hand.
The latter forcefully lifted him up, and Fang Plover immediately rushed him out of the water.
"Thanks!" He shouted. After leaving the water, the rocket flying fist could finally be used as usual. Fang Plover aimed in one direction in mid-air, and shot out his flying claws with a 'bang' sound. His claws firmly grasped a stone stalactite not far away. column.
Upon seeing this, Tenarik loosened his hand, and Fang Plover immediately opened the magic furnace, tightened the cable, and flew in that direction.
However, the underground river was extremely damp, and the top of the rock was covered with moss and lichen. He was only halfway through the flight when his claws fell off without a firm grip. After losing his leverage in mid-air, he fell back into the water.
But this time, he has distanced himself from the group of white-bone piranhas behind him.
Behind him, the Corpse Grave Demon actually strode towards him from the river. Tenarik didn't dare to stay long after seeing this. After a few leaps on the roof of the cave, he disappeared from sight from an unknown direction.
Fang Yu knew that he had to rely on himself next, but he had already spotted the direction of the river bank before he fell into the water. At this time, he raised his hands high to try not to let the winch device enter the water again, and then fired a flying fist in that direction with a 'bang' sound. .
This time, he did not let his claws directly grab the sharp rock. Instead, he let it fly over the rock pillar that faced the river. It fell to the other side with inertia, circled the rock pillar twice, and was firmly tied to the rock pillar. above.
Fang Yu subconsciously opened the winch device and started to reel in the line, trying to move toward the river bank. However, what he never expected was that the Corpse Grave Demon behind him actually stared at his movements, and suddenly removed a stone stalactite column and threw it in this direction. Come.
The stone pillar did not hit Fang Plover, but it hit the rock pillar that was facing the river. With a click, the rock pillar suddenly broke and sank into the river. The huge force even dragged Fang Plover to sink to the water surface.
Fang Yu secretly screamed something bad, and quickly cut the rope with a dagger. When the force was loosened, he resurfaced.
But as soon as he surfaced, he saw the giant mountain of white bones lowering its head towards him once again.
"Fuck!"
Fang Plover's scalp felt numb.
But at this moment, there was a low rebuke in the darkness, and he actually saw the elementalist he had seen flying out of the water, using his staff to touch the dark river, and then standing on the water.
No, it should be the ice.
The moment she touched the water with her staff, a thin layer of ice formed on the surface of the fast river. The current caused the ice surface to break, but before it could be washed away, the ice surface began to spread deeper and formed in the blink of an eye. A floating island.
The girl tapped the ice with her staff again, and a blue light suddenly glowed on a necklace pendant on her chest. She raised her hand in the light, and an iceberg instantly formed, just in time to envelope the Corpse Grave Demon.
Only then did Fang Plover realize that the necklace should be at least a near-legendary item of a level similar to the Pale Flame. It might enhance ice-type abilities, and it should be limited to the number of times it can be used per day.
He originally thought that the girl would leave immediately after casting the spell to immobilize the Corpse Grave Demon.
But she didn't expect that the other party was actually in a stalemate with the Corpse Grave Demon. She pointed her staff at the Corpse Grave Demon with one hand, and the other side kept pouring blue light towards the iceberg - she continued to cast spells. Fang Plover was shocked, and then he realized that the other party was I plan to stay for the rest of my life.
The message Sophie sent in the communication channel also confirmed his thoughts: "Let's go!"
But in just a moment, a long crack has opened on the iceberg. After all, it is an elite monster of level 30 or 40. It is a miracle that it can be controlled by a level 15 selector, but if you want to kill it Really staying here is just a fantasy for everyone.
Fang Plover saw that the element made the girl lose her footing and fall from the ice. He knew that the other party was in serious danger. However, before the Corpse Grave Demon had completely escaped from the trap, he did not dare to hesitate and could only continue to swim forward.
The sound of water like thousands of horses galloping ahead was getting closer and closer. When Fang Plover looked up, he realized that there was actually a waterfall. But at this time, he had no choice but to make a choice. The rushing water pushed him forward. There was no time to hesitate before he was pushed off the cliff.
Fang Yu only felt that after a moment of earth-shaking, his whole body was thrown into the water. Fortunately, the water below was deep enough and he did not touch the bottom. Instead, he hit a rock as he went up, which made stars appear in his eyes.
He vaguely felt that there were other people falling from above, but he didn't have time to see who the other people were. The water flow below the waterfall was faster, and he was thrown upside down. He danced for a while before he seized the opportunity. He popped his head out and took a breath.
Before he could finish his breath, a wave hit him and dragged him into the whirlpool. After a soaring experience, he didn't know how many rocks he hit. He only felt that every bone in his body was in pain.
There was even a gash on his brow bone, which was burning and painful. He didn't know how deep the wound was, but it was definitely bleeding profusely.
After going back and forth like this for an unknown amount of time, Fang Yu felt exhausted and the water flow slowed down, but even so, he had no strength to struggle anymore. He floated along the direction of the river for a while, and there seemed to be a faint light in front of him.
It was at this time that Fang Plover felt someone pulling him out of the water and dragging him along the river beach onto the sand. Only then did he open his eyes with difficulty, and then saw Parker's chubby face.
And the middle school boy on the side.
I don’t know how the latter did it. Although the box looked wet all over, the heavy clothes were not lost, and even the hat was still in his hand. He turned his pointed hat over, poured out the water and a fish, and then put it back on his head.
Fang Yu felt like a dead fish lying on the beach and took a few breaths before gradually regaining some strength. He turned his head and looked around. It turned out that he had left the underground river and came to an open underground cave. middle.
The environment here is somewhat similar to that on the eighth floor. There are some mushroom forests growing around it, glowing crystal clumps growing on top of the rocks, and there are many people like him lying on the ground on the beach far and near.
They were all members of the Silver Veslan, and others were responsible for picking up other people floating down the river. Many of them were dying and seriously injured. The healers were helpless and could only watch them swallow their last breath. The breath then turned into a point of light.
Seeing these people, Fang Yu felt that he was not bad luck.
He also saw a canoe stranded on the river beach. It must have been the last one to leave. It was only because of these people that they escaped. It was unknown where they would float along this underground river.
But the luckiest one was obviously Parker. This guy didn't do anything wrong and was still fiddling with a dagger in his hand.
Fang Yu took a closer look at the sword, and it was clearly not his work. The shape of the dagger was a bit ancient, and it looked more like a sacrificial knife, probably something left by the Sinsas Snake Man. He glanced weakly at the box and asked, "What is that?"
"Don't make any mistakes about my trophy," Parker quickly replied: "I picked it up on the beach. I was the first to come to this place, so it belongs to me."
"Okay, okay, no one cares about you." Fang Plover was too lazy to argue with him. He glanced at the direction of the underground river, and then saw Tenerik supporting Qian walking from below.
The girl was obviously injured in the previous battle. The lizard prince politely asked for her permission before placing her on the beach. Akane gritted her teeth and covered her abdomen, and blood seeped out from between her fingers from time to time. .
There was a healer from Silver Vislan on the beach who saw this scene and immediately ran over to treat her.
Here, Fang Yu also received the information brought back by Sophie. After asking around in her team, she learned about the general situation of the losses and said: "Except for Aliya, three people are missing, and two people are missing." Personal loss of life, overall it’s not bad——”
Alya is the elementalist girl from before.
Through the window, Fang Yu saw the other party quietly walking out from under Roman's icon, coming close, and standing beside her without saying a word. Sophie patted her shoulder somewhat affectionately to encourage her, but the latter remained silent and lowered her head.
"That's the Heart of the Glacier." Sophie was afraid that he would misunderstand, so she introduced him to the girl's ability: "Aliya obtained the talent skill from the mission, which can increase the effect of an ice spell to four times, but she can only do so every week. After using it once, I asked her not to use this ability unless it was critical."
Fang Yu nodded. In fact, he was not that harsh. The other party had already performed well enough. Besides, if Aliya hadn't taken action immediately, he would have been in trouble.
However, Sophie's frankness still made him feel good. The brief contact with Silver Vislan gave him a very good feeling. It was different from any previous big guild. It even gave him some past feelings about these big guilds. The feeling of knowing the guild.
However, he also understood that the information told to him by the other party would definitely be distorted to some extent. For example, the ability of Glacier Heart may not really be able to be used only once a week. After all, it was an internal opportunity for Silver Vislan. However, for such a powerful ability, the cooldown time will definitely be very long. This is what Sophie wants to express.
However, he had previously thought that those were the skills on the necklace, but when he thought about it, he was relieved. There were not so many legendary equipments. On the contrary, such talents, special skills and blessings were more common.
Just like the sacrificial effects he obtained from the lizardmen, in Aitalia, everyone has the opportunity to obtain some special abilities through different tasks and experiences, some of which only last for a short period of time - such as Parker's curse mark, And some will exist forever, like Loofah's Son of Thunder bloodline, a talent that many big guilds covet.
And his rituals belong to a special category. Such effects often have a long duration, and through different choices, they can be strengthened or permanently solidified - but not everyone has such an opportunity.
Just think about something like saving the shining sea from being extinguished. It is simply not something that one person can do.
But as for everyone in this world, everyone has their own chance, and sometimes luck is a powerful ability in the new world.
The three missing people Sophie mentioned before are probably in bad luck, but they may not be resurrected for a while. However, this time Silver Wisland brought a total of nearly 30 people, only five or six people. The loss really is nothing.
The Princess of Silver Vislan didn’t even say much. After all, below the eighth floor, any level of the Dragon Trial may encounter unknown dangers. This is something that cannot be predicted by human power - Fang Plover’s She doesn't think the conductor is a big problem, and can even be said to be excellent.
And Fang Yu was also a little surprised by the quality level of Silver Vislan. In this sudden danger, he only lost six people. An ordinary adventure group would probably be wiped out directly under the previous environment. .
Survival under such conditions can only reflect extraordinary personal abilities.
"We should have arrived at the lower floors," Sophie looked at the surrounding environment: "But we still need to confirm which floor this is. I wonder if the Jeffree Red Team has also arrived at this place. After taking a rest, , we also need to look for the traces they left."
"It seems like the undead haven't been chased out?" Fang Plover asked.
"I don't know if those undead are related to the previous boat," Sophie replied: "Theoretically, it's impossible for that dragon boat to pass through the underground river, but we didn't see any trace of them along the way, and that The black river water..."
"The undead are just a polymerization of negative emotions driven by negative energy. Their shapes can be ever-changing and are only related to the dark power lingering in this land." Fang Plover replied: "But they didn't chase them out. This is very important to us. It’s a good thing.”
Sophie nodded.
"But theoretically speaking, as you go to the lower floors, the influence of the dark forces mentioned by Toragotos will become more and more obvious," Fang Plover continued: "Without confirming the ship and this matter We’d better be careful before making any contact.”
Sophie was about to speak when she suddenly saw one of her knights coming over. The latter didn't know she was here. He only said to Fang Plover a little seriously: "Mr. Xia Ya, our people found someone fighting in front. You want to Don’t you want to go over and take a look?”
Is there anyone fighting in front?
Fang Yu couldn't help but look at each other with Sophie.
…
