In this strange cave, the light seems to be weakened. Even with four flashlights, the darkness seemed to become thicker and it was difficult for light to penetrate.
The direction of the cave is sloping downward, and the dirty air from the depths blows out regularly, making it feel like walking in the throat of a giant beast.
The four of them walked cautiously, and Sean's ectoplasm tentacles were always in a state of alert scanning. When the faint firelight at the entrance was no longer visible when looking back, the passage turned.
Not only that, the surroundings were no longer rock walls, but walls made of rough boulders.
Will stroked the stone wall as he walked: "There are ancient artificial traces under the church...
Jasmine's blue eyes reflected the firelight, showing a unique glazed color. She observed the rough texture of the wall: "Is this a mausoleum? If there are any monuments here, they should be recorded in the town's annals. …”
"If no one in Levin Town knows that this historic site exists." Sean was in charge of the rear. He walked sideways while looking behind him, "Maybe it's because this historic site is smaller than the old church and Levin. The town is much older. This monument was here when the first newcomers arrived."
At this time, Will and Sean felt a little more uneasy in their hearts: one thing is clear in the explorer's knowledge - the older it is, the more dangerous it is.
It was definitely a Queen-level threat... Will tightened his grip on the scepter in his hand and lowered his body a little.
Except for the original geology above the head, the left, right and feet are all made of stone. This stone passage, more than three meters wide, began to turn and branch constantly...
"This seems to be a maze." Moonlight reminded, he seemed cautious, but he didn't seem afraid. Sean was a little surprised at his composure.
Will stopped: "This reminds me of a mission I experienced before. It was also in an underground stone maze...
"That was a special maze built by the Daedalus Foundation a long time ago to trap ancient evil spirits..."
In the "Seeker's Manual", there is a brief introduction to the "Daedalus Foundation". It is a mysterious organization headquartered in Europe. It was founded in the early 16th century and is a transnational organization focused on containing and guarding ancient evil spirits. .
Will continued: "The evil beings contained by Daedalus have various intensities. Some of them can be solved even by the Jack level, but there are still a very few... that require the legendary Ace level to solve the huge ones. threaten……"
Jasmine dared to challenge the Queen level difficulty, but the new information made her more worried: "What if the danger exceeds our imagination?"
Will comforted: "From the perspective of the out-of-control incident itself, only one priest died. This does not meet the characteristics of the threat above Queen - the limitations of the incident indicate that Xie Yi's ability is limited."
"Furthermore, the containment of threats above the Queen must have been registered with the Explorers Association, and Daedalus itself also has detailed archives. There is no situation where an unknown containment case will suddenly appear.
"So, the threats we have to face must be within the controllable range. The only variable is that the association did not provide more detailed information before the mission...
"In addition, we have excellent detection capabilities among our peers. If we sense that the level of evil exceeds expectations, we can leave immediately and organize an evacuation immediately."
Will's analysis made sense, which made Jasmine sigh in relief.
After continuing to walk for ten minutes, the passages of the maze suddenly extended to both sides, with no edges visible.
The darkness was as thick as insoluble asphalt, and the flashlight could only illuminate one meter in front of me.
Sean's spiritual tentacles suddenly felt a strange feeling, a feeling of danger.
"It's dangerous, stop." Sean said simply.
The four of them stopped and waited quietly.
At this time, something strange happened.
The four of them had obviously stopped walking, but there were still footsteps nearby.
Da la, da la...
The footsteps were slow but clearly audible.
Ta-la, tap-la, tap-la...
The footsteps became denser and denser, and it seemed that many people were walking towards the team in the darkness.
Miss White, the guinea pig who originally poked her head out of the pocket of Moonlight's jacket, seemed to be greatly frightened. She got into the pocket and followed the "secret passage" sewn by Moonlight into the safer and thicker pocket below. middle.
Moonlight stared closely into the darkness, and distractedly patted Miss White in her pocket to express comfort.
The four light beams couldn't penetrate the darkness and shot around helplessly. You could hear footsteps, but you couldn't see anyone.
Yueguang, who had a sensitive hearing, suddenly felt his scalp numb. He raised his head and exclaimed in a low voice: "Up here..."
Before he finished speaking, the flashlight illuminated a head hanging upside down.
The head had no skin, and although the muscles on the face had decayed, they were clearly visible. Since there are no lips, the teeth seem to be clenched tightly, as if enduring great pain. The eyeballs without eyelids were like dusty glass balls with many cracks.
The four of them all raised their flashlights and saw black shadows clinging to the top with all their limbs!
"Dead skeleton!"
Will gritted his teeth and yelled: "Back off!" A transparent sound ripple spread out.
Will's job is as a reciter in the church, a role usually played by strong, rich-voiced men in the clergy who lead the crowd in reciting passages from the Holy Book on Sundays.
Therefore, he has a magical technique called "Call Sign", which is a relatively representative type of magical technique among the theocratic sects.
"The power of God will eventually appear in the world!" He shouted out the words in the Holy Book, arousing echoes in the darkness.
The other three people, who were a little nervous at first, suddenly cheered up under Will's shout.
The evil thing clinging to the rock wall above was aroused and fell downwards, heading towards Will. The spherical copper head of the scepter in his hand suddenly glowed with holy white light, and he suddenly swung a white arc, crushing the head of an evil creature.
"Don't retreat!" Will roared, and the four of them started to fight back to back against countless mummified corpses.
Sean had already been baptized by evil attacks, so in this case, his will showed no sign of wavering. To conserve ammunition, he had not yet taken out the M1920 revolver in his holster.
At this time, he was holding the holy dagger tightly in his right hand, and in his left hand was the half-open bottle of holy water.
A dead skeleton came forward, and the dagger in Sean's hand was thrust towards the eye socket. When the dead skeleton used his hand to block it, the rusty ectoplasmic blade had already passed through his heart.
The corpse next to him also rushed forward. Sean waved the holy water bottle, and the holy water burned the evil thing, causing it to scream and retreat.
"The intensity should be around level 4, which is what Jack level can handle..." Sean judged. His previous combat experience made him, a trainee, feel that the combat intensity was not strong enough.
Therefore, he can distract himself from watching his teammates exorcise evil spirits.
Will still used his call sign in conjunction with the scepter in his hand, and his fighting style was particularly strong and tough.
"The explorers of the 'Pious Soldier' series should all have this style. The attack range is limited, but they can stand alone well and protect teammates."
Sean looked at Jasmine, and he was surprised by the nun's performance. Jasmine had shown timidity several times before, but perhaps thanks to Will's call sign, she was now very calm...even a little brave.
While dealing with the corpses, Jasmine's nun's robe kept flying due to her movements, revealing a set of devices hidden under the robe - leather straps tied several tubes of holy water and potions of different concentrations to her waist and thighs. The booster device fixed on the lower back, through the pressure of Jasmine's hand, instantly pushes the holy water through the hose to the needle at the fingertips.
The long steel needle pierced the neck of a corpse like a sharp sword, and high-concentration holy water was instantly injected, destroying the internal structure of the corpse.
The dead body that slipped through the net rushed toward Sean. Just as Sean was about to make a move, Jasmine raised her other hand and accurately fired a jet of holy water, forcing the dead body back.
"Be careful!" Jasmine's pearlescent veil fluttered, looking a bit moving and... unusually reliable.
