It happened suddenly.
Jiang Yu's heroic spirit stopped the knight, and Uncle Guo pulled Shen Yan out of the room. It was probably because Uncle Guo's heroic spirit was a heavy knight and could not be used in a small room.
In fact, this process only takes a moment.
The knight swung away the blocker with his heavy sword and chased him out of the room.
Surprisingly, Jiang Yu did not stop him again, but smiled because he knew Uncle Guo better than the murderer.
Uncle Guo is not famous or popular. He is one of the unknown mercenaries in the mercenary city.
But there is a reason for his obscurity. Because of Uncle Guo's amnesia, he forgets all previous friendships every year, so no one is willing to deal with Uncle Guo, let alone maintain a relationship.
Jiang Yu used to think that Uncle Guo was just an ordinary mercenary, until they went on a mission and encountered enemies who were multiple times their number.
That battle was particularly fresh in his memory. Uncle Guo's heroic spirit directly broke out a bloody path for them, so much so that the opponents didn't even dare to step forward.
That kind of combat power can be considered one of the top combat powers even in the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group.
outside the house.
As soon as the knight came out.
Uncle Guo's heavy cavalry launched a charge.
There was a man and a horse, and the horses neighed. As soon as the sound started, Shen Yan seemed to smell the smell of beacon smoke and war.
The heavy cavalry charges, only moving forward and not retreating, brave and fearless.
This was a desperate charge. The moment they rushed out, no matter whether the opponent was one person or thousands of troops, they never thought about the possibility of turning back.
The heavy iron cavalry, with unparalleled inertia, stabbed straight with its long spear. Shen Yan couldn't help but tremble at the momentum.
The most powerful cavalry in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it once brought down all the barbarians to come to the imperial court. Its imposing manner once made the Khans, who were famous for their toughness on the prairie, abandon their helmets and armor, creating an unparalleled and powerful Tang Dynasty.
The world calls the Han people the Tang people. Even in modern times, no matter where in the world, there are still Chinatowns. This is their great reputation. They left the dignity to the entire nation with the boiling blood in their bodies and their unrivaled will. .
Because of them, the existence of the Tang people can never be erased from the memory of the world.
With that shot, Shen Yan even doubted that it could pick up a big car.
"boom!"
The huge impact was like a flying boulder, raising a parabola and smashing a hole in the house behind him. If it were an ordinary person, his internal organs would probably be torn apart.
But heroic spirits are very unique. They are embodied in reality, have human bodies, can be injured and die, but their death is not the end, because they were born from Mengyuan, and they only need to rest on the seabed of Mengyuan. The moon can be called out again.
Of course, if the heroic spirit dies, the holder of the holy weapon will also be greatly harmed. Because of the enchantment ritual, the power of the soul is attached to the heroic spirit. The collapse of the soul power can even make people become idiots.
The room with a big hole was dark, and you could still hear the metal sound of the Central European knight falling to the ground. The armor on his chest was pierced into his entire chest, but he still tried to get up.
Uncle Guo's heavy cavalry did not rush in because it was too narrow inside.
No need to rush in either.
Almost at the moment when the heavy horse hit the enemy, in a house not far away, a man covered in a robe covered his head in pain.
His mental strength was hit hard, and his brain felt like it was being torn apart. The pain made him scream out involuntarily.
Some mercenaries fight straight away, while others like to hide in dark corners and only send out heroic spirits to fight. If they are well hidden, even if the heroic spirits die, they themselves can escape.
This man probably had this idea and hid in the surrounding houses. Even if he knew he was nearby, no one could easily find him.
However, at the moment when he cried out in pain, a particularly scrawled vicious dog pounced directly on the house from the darkness, followed by a tiger and a leopard.
The vicious dog scratched the ground with excitement. The window of the house was a bit small. When the vicious dog pounced in, it left a big butt outside. It kept thrashing its claws and forced a big hole in the window.
Have you ever seen a cat scratching a mouse in a hole? The scene is similar, but more intense and brutal.
The two beasts behind him, a tiger and a leopard, directly knocked holes in the door.
There was a tearing sound in the house.
The scene was indescribably cruel.
Zhao Kuo's figure also rushed into the house immediately.
Because the windows and doors were broken, Shen Yan could see some of the conditions inside the house from outside.
The three beasts seemed to be burning with transparent flames. The raging fire had a feeling of overwhelming the river. They were the soul power of Zhao Kuo attached to the heroic spirit.
Inside the house, the man in the robe was nearly torn into pieces by three wild beasts, and an old box fell out of him.
It fell to the ground and rolled around a few times, and a corner of an old document emerged from the rolled-away box.
It was a page similar to the diary Shen Yan had seen before. At least the material was similar, but the content was unknown.
The man's neck was bitten and torn apart. He actually stretched out his hand to retrieve the box on the ground, but his head was turned away. It seemed that he didn't dare to read the contents of the old documents at this time.
The hand that stretched out was too weird, it should be said that it was too ugly, as if it had been cut countless times and then healed again, with countless healed ugly scars.
Zhao Kuo couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he looked at the hand.
At this time, the man didn't know where he got the strength to give up the box on the ground, pushed away the three beasts on his body, and threw himself ferociously towards a bed in the room, and then...
Then... the person disappeared.
Zhao Kuo stepped forward, but stopped.
Shen Yan looked extremely nervous outside. Is there a secret passage under the bed ready to escape?
But even if Zhao Kuo didn't expect this accident for a while, he would definitely be able to catch the opponent if he caught up with him, so why did he stop?
Seeing that there was no danger in the house, Shen Yan cautiously went in to see the situation.
When I looked at the bed, I saw that there was indeed a chopping board. If you rolled on it, you would fall off the chopping board.
Perhaps the man used too much force and broke the chopping board, revealing a large, dark cave underneath.
The cave was too dark, gloomy, damp, and full of fear. Shen Yan only took one glance and felt extremely depressed. The black hole seemed to swallow up his body and soul.
Shen Yan subconsciously looked away and asked Zhao Kuo, "Sewer?"
Zhao Kuo shook his head: "Underground tunnel."
Seemingly sensing Shen Yan's doubts, Zhao Kuo said: "There are many dangerous places in this world, and even if legendary mercenaries enter, they may not be able to get out."
"The Mercenary City is one of such dangerous places. To be precise, it is the ruins beneath the Mercenary City."
Shen Yan was confused. Even though it was an underground maze, although it was dangerous, mercenaries were not normal people. It was not considered a dangerous place for them, right?
Zhao Kuo said: "Do you know why the corpses in the sewers of the Mercenary City easily become aberrations?"
"Because there is a burning tower buried deep under this city."
"The Burning Tower was the furnace used by the Immortal to imitate the holy artifacts during the Second Age."
"The Immortal wanted to imitate the holy artifact, but ended up creating countless pollutants that breed evil spirits."
"Because the Burning Tower has forged too many such pollutants, it has become extremely evil and its infectious power is unimaginable. Even demigods are powerless to resist its infectious power."
Shen Yan: "..."
He only knew that the Mercenary City was built on the ruins of an ancient city, so it had a particularly developed sewer, but he did not expect that the Mercenary City had such a mysterious history.
The underground is actually one of the most recognized dangerous places.
Zhao Kuo continued: "These tunnels all lead to the burning tower underground. It can even be called the road to hell."
Shen Yan: "So, if that person enters the corridor, he will definitely die?"
Zhao Kuo frowned: "Unless he has a map of the underground tunnel."
The oldest mercenary groups in the Mercenary City united together a long time ago and explored the underground Burning Tower. After paying a heavy price, they drew a map of the underground tunnels.
If this person really had a map of the corridor, things would be different.
Even Zhao Kuo has never seen this map. It is one of the most secretive secrets of the mercenary city.
This is also the reason why Zhao Kuo didn't pursue it. Legend has it that the corridor inside is extremely complicated. After entering, while the source of infection continues to erode, you can't come back just by going back the same way.
Zhao Kuo: "I already have some clues about this person's identity."
"You also saw his hand just now. The ugly scars on his hand are a kind of punishment in Brahma Emperor City, used to punish those who judge God for blasphemy."
"Not many people have been subjected to this criminal law."
"Moreover, even if he can escape from the tunnel, he will not be able to recover in a few months based on the injuries he sustained."
Zhao Kuo said as he picked up the box that the man dropped on the ground.
Carefully putting away the page of old documents, Zhao Kuo did not read the content on it, but wrapped his hands with the power of his soul, quickly folded and put away the old documents.
Then he looked at the box again.
Shen Yan was wondering who the man was and whether he could come out of this dangerous place alive. At this time, Zhao Kuo directly threw the old box to Shen Yan: "It's for you."
"Just treat it as the trophy that you used as bait this time."
Shen Yan took the box and chuckled inwardly, still remembering that he was a bait.
The old box is a bit strange. A box used to store old documents?
The material is bronze, which looks a bit like something from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but it shouldn't be.
Because there is a door bound by copper chains carved on the bronze box, and the boss has an eye on the door.
Every era has its own limitations. In other words, during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, it was not popular to carve such inexplicable things on boxes.
Shen Yan looked over and over, and found that there were cultural relics he didn't recognize. He looked at them for a while and then put them away. He would study them slowly when he got back.
Then his heart was pounding as he thought about the page of old documents in Zhao Kuo's hand, and what mysterious or strange content it would contain.
