"So they were contaminated by the power of World War, which can indeed explain the strange pair of footprints." Nero also remembered the strange-looking footprints from before.
“It’s better to have one foot like a dog and one foot like a cat. In order to save their children, this group of expeditionary troops who were contaminated by the power of the abyss should have fled from the underground waterways of Cannabry to the Dark Land. And these statues." The Elf Mage pointed to the front where he couldn't see. "It's the statues left by those children to commemorate their parents."
"In other words, what we are going to now is probably the residence of the first-generation Crusaders?" Lin Yun tried to say.
The elf mage nodded slightly, "If we're lucky, we might still encounter someone alive."
"I can't say that I am full of expectations, but it seems quite interesting. These people are the descendants of the Crusaders. Their ancestors fought for the welfare of the entire Golarion. This is an honorable thing." Annevia said with a smile. said.
"I just hope that they retain some of the honors and traditions of the Crusades, and that their hearts have not been distorted by the power of the World War." It is rare that Holgers also expressed his own opinions a little, although he felt a bit strange. .
If this had happened before, this might not have been the beginning of another quarrel.
But now. . . . . good.
"No matter what, judging from what we have seen before, the descendants of the Crusaders you mentioned seem to have evacuated here, leaving only a crazy dwarf. Next, we still need to be more vigilant. Now that we have determined that they are underground If there are residents who don't like us, they may use different methods to deal with us than primitive hunters, such as traps." Lin Yun's face was a little solemn.
In response, everyone nodded.
The group of people continued to move forward with half hope and half worry.
Then they came to the cave of the poor dwarf mage just now, "Is this...Mirren?" Annevia looked at the body of the dwarf mage on the ground, and after looking at it carefully, she said uncertainly.
"Do you know him?" Nero asked subconsciously, a little nervously.
"Yes, this guy is a little bit crazy. As long as there are people around who make loud noises, this guy will run over and kill them. After the leader Hu'erlen found out, he thought this guy had been corrupted, so he wanted this guy. Guy, I heard that this guy was missing, but I didn’t think of escaping here." Anivea said reminiscing.
"Well, it seems that at least we didn't kill the wrong person." Nero nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, it is an intelligent creature, so it is not easy to kill, but he has been restraining it before.
However, it has been confirmed before that this guy is crazy, so he can only get rid of this guy, otherwise he doesn't know what will come out.
"Okay, now that it's been determined, it's time to lay it to rest." Lin Yun said.
"Buried." Bao'er started again. . . . .
After burying the dwarf, Lin Yun and the others were ready to start climbing the big slope.
It was the passage that Nero ran up before. There were actually quite a few pitons on it to help with climbing.
The reason why Lin Yun and the others waited for the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled people was because climbing this thing was a little too troublesome. If they were allowed to climb slowly, they would not know how long it would take them to climb.
"Nero, continue with your lead. Then Sister Bao'er will carry Miss Anivea, and I will carry Mr. Aravashnay. The rest of you should try to follow. I'm sorry." After saying that, Lin Yun directly picked up Mr. Aravashnai. Aravashnai carried it.
Lin Yun and Bao'er's strength should both be about 20, so it's not a big problem.
Although it wasn't like jumping around, at least, after Lin Yun and Bao'er carried the two people up like human traffickers, there was no doubt that the efficiency was several times better.
Following this ramp, Lin Yun and the others reached a height of about 12 meters. "Okay, it looks like we are getting closer and closer to the ground." With such a long upward passage, It's a big step.
It's just that the slope has gradually begun to become gentle, and there is another small tunnel right after it, which is frustrating.
After walking towards that tunnel for more than an hour, another huge cave appeared in front of everyone.
The width is about 20 meters. What refreshed Lin Yun and others is that there are traces of intelligent biological activities here.
Cylindrical stone pillars support the surrounding walls, making this cave look more like a dome house, but. . . . Looking at the cracks on the floor and walls, Lin Yun and others had a bad premonition.
In the center of the cave, a stone tower that appears to be more than 4 meters high can be clearly seen broken into two parts.
"It looks like a sentry tower." Anivea, who is relatively sensitive to this aspect, was the first to say.
"It seems like this place may collapse again at any time. We should be cautious and pass through here quickly." Lin Yun said with a heavy expression.
There is no doubt that this place became like this because of the previous earthquake.
As we all know, earthquakes are indeed terrible, but the aftershocks and collapses caused by unstable structures are the most troublesome.
"Wait, there." At this moment, Bao'er pulled Lin Yun and pointed in a direction, where there were two figures.
"Is there anyone?" Lin Yun was stunned for a moment.
"What should I do?" Nero looked at Lin Yun.
"... No matter what, it's better to be ready for battle, although they seem to be moving things and rescuing people." Lin Yun's face sank slightly, and then he said.
"Okay, let the others wait here for the time being." Nero nodded slightly.
"Wait, if you need rescue." At this moment, the elf mage began to release magic at Lin Yun, and released two of them.
Lin Yun recognized it a little bit.
"D20+5=21, spell recognition successful."
"D20+5=22, spell recognition successful."
One is Bull Power, one is Heroism, Good Guys, both are status spells.
The power of the bull can give Lin Yun an extra +4 enhancement bonus to his strength, while the heroic spirit can give Lin Yun an extra +2 morale bonus on attack rolls, skill rolls, attribute rolls, saving throws, etc. It can be called omnipotent. Invincible heroism.
There is no doubt that these are very suitable spells for rescue.
"Thank you very much for your help." Lin Yun smiled slightly, but then he remembered that the elf mage could not be seen now, so he patted his arm instead.
"Don't worry, if something happens, I can provide remote support from this distance." Annevia picked up the short bow in her hand and smiled.
"I'll follow you too. I have medical magic, and I might be able to help when the time comes." At this time, Comelia suddenly said.
"Okay, let's go." Lin Yun nodded and turned around.
Just like that, Lin Yun and the others walked over.
Lin Yun did not hide his intentions, and now he undoubtedly needs more information and clues.
Those guys couldn't communicate before, but now they should be able to.
As Lin Yun and the others approached, they could see the deformed appearance of the two figures.
They are a man and a woman. The woman is a hunchback with tumors all over her face and looks very disgusting. The other man is a tall and thin man with a mixture of three biological characteristics on his face. It's a human, a goat, a lizard, the right side of a human's face, but the right side has goat ears and horns, the left side has lizard-like scales covering half of the body, and his right arm looks more like a claw.
After seeing Lin Yun and the others approaching, the goat lizard man among them looked at Lin Yun and the others warily, and said in a slightly harsh voice with a strange accent in common language, "If you have bad intentions, please leave and let go." We have only one way to survive, if you are good people, please help us, as you can see, misfortune has befallen us."
Maybe it was because I was anxious, so my tone sounded a little rushed.
At this time, Lin Yun and the others were able to see that there was a pile of rubble below them. It seemed that they had cleared a lot of rubble, but the problem now was that there was a huge stone pressing down on another person who should be their companion. of people.
It can be seen that besides them, there are actually many strange people around.
They should obviously be the tainted descendants of the first generation of Crusaders just mentioned. There are too many types of animals on them, some two, some three.
Perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe him as a mixed race person.
It seems that yesterday's earthquake caused this outpost to collapse and bury many hybrids underneath. Now only three of them are left.
"We don't mean any harm, maybe we can help." Lin Yun said quickly.
"In that case, let's come on. My name is Lan, and her name is Della. She can't speak because of her mouth, and the one buried underneath is called Corey." Lan said quickly, and then said to Lin Yun and the others waved.
"Are you really going to help?" Nero asked softly.
"Otherwise." Lin Yun shrugged.
"Let's go." Bao'er took out her invincible crowbar again.
"Now, we have two methods for the time being. One is to gather the strength of all of us to move this stone away. However, if Della and I were free before, the strength was not enough. The other is to clean up other things on him. rubble, but I'm not sure whether this will cause a more serious collapse. As long as these rubbles are cleared, we can easily move this piece of stone." Although it is still uncomfortable, even It felt like the sound of a snake talking, but Lann's words were at least coherent.
"I think, just in case, it's better to treat Corey first. Miss Comelia, please." Lin Yun looked at the rubble. If this causes a more serious collapse, they will be better off. Below Corey may really have to give it away for free.
However, no matter what, as long as the rubble above is cleared, even if it causes a second collapse, there is no doubt that it will be much simpler.
Of course, if possible, ensure the safety line first.
