Dawn of the Grey Tower

Chapter 90: Underwater gate

"Tick, tick" drops of water slowly dropped along the end of the stalactite that hung down on the top of the cave. Some faint water splashed gently with the impact, but only highlighted the unusual quiet here. This is an edge corner in the cave of the Frustrated Witches, which was originally a channel for dumping garbage and dirt, but now it has become a pool of water due to the rise of the seawater caused by the tsunami. Although it is such a place, it is visible to the naked eye, and no dirt can be felt in the nose. Even if it were such a passage, the witches would not allow it to become dirty and thus taint their realm. And now standing beside the pond is not the witch who is responsible for discarding garbage, because this is the escape point given by Peg.

The three people who came here found some wooden boxes by the pool water. Interestingly, although there were no locks on these wooden boxes, some differently shaped handles were nailed with copper blocks at the opening and closing. And Fioni saw a few familiar patterns from these wooden boxes at a glance. That was the pattern on the lock when Hella unlocked the door lock. Will there be any connection between these two things? The Kraken raised his hand to signal the other two not to move, and then approached these clutters cautiously. In the doubtful eyes of Lothar and Networm, the Kraken hesitated and extended his hand.

The first one is the mermaid. The "click" wooden box was opened and there was nothing, only a white cloth was placed under the box. The second is the steering wheel. Fiorni opened it unwillingly, and it was still empty like the first wooden box. With the last thought in mind, he opened the third wooden box, the crow. "Gah! Gah!" The violent bird calls made the three people step back subconsciously, and they immediately swept their eyes around, fearing that the sound was some kind of alarm that led to the guard in Hella's mouth. Fortunately, nothing seemed to happen. Fiorni gave a sigh of relief, turned his head back to the box, and then he was stunned. Because he clearly remembered that when he opened the third wooden box, there was nothing in it, but now, a shark tooth knife was placed diagonally in the wooden box, and there seemed to be blood on the blade that had not been wiped off. That's Fiorni's own blood.

At the same time, Lothar and Networm also came over. Unlike the Kraken, they went to the two wooden boxes before. The white cloth originally laid on the bottom of the box did not know when it swelled. It was the weapons and ornaments they had taken away by the witch. The Net Worm quickly hung the cold iron amulet around her neck with some nervousness. This magical ornament able to isolate magic gave her a sense of security far greater than a city wall. But Lothar copied his own axe. Although the justice of the fool was changed by the gray robe mage, the weight and the feel of the wave told the count that this was his weapon. It seems that this should be the last thing the witches can do for them.

The Fioni and the two received the contents of the box neatly, made a gesturing gesture to the pool, and then turned and jumped into the water. The Networm and Lothar glanced at each other, and the Earl frowned, his water quality was not good. The female mercenary saw his anxiety and quietly clasped Lothar's left hand, blinked at him, and then pulled the latter into the pool indiscriminately. The sea water was a bit cold, but it did not freeze people. The two opened their eyes in the water and saw Fioni already waiting at the bottom of the hole. I do not know whether it was intentional or coincidental. On the four walls of the waterway used by the witches for drainage, there was actually a kind of aquatic plant that would emit a dim light. These plants directed the three people to leave here like a road sign.

But what they didn't know was that after the three people's water splash recovered, the three opened wooden boxes closed automatically! The bronze mermaid emblem that had been set in the opening of the wooden box fell off naturally, and bounced a few times on the ground, and it also fell into the pool like a coincidence. Suddenly, a shadow quickly magnified in the water light and dived into the water and disappeared.

In the underwater passage, Fiorni felt the flow of water with the instinct of the sea monster, and led his companion to the nearest exit in many scattered holes. Humans cannot breathe underwater. He must find a way out as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the two. Fortunately, after all, it is just a sewage outlet. Apart from some confusing holes and forks, the witches did not set up other obstacles. Fiona thought a little and found a passage to the outside world. He turned around and came behind Lothar and Networm, pushing them closer to the exit with a faster speed.

But things don't seem so simple. When the three came to the end of the passage and saw that they were about to rush into the sea, a metal gate stopped them. Water plants, dead fish and some other things are wrapped around this gate and flow with the water. It seems that the witches have not completely ignored this passage. Fioni stepped forward and pushed and lifted the gate a few times, and found that the metal strip that constituted it was deeply embedded in the rocks around the passage, no matter how hard the Kraken was. At this time, he missed his two arms that had been cut off. With the strange power of those two arms, he said that there might still be loosening of the surrounding rocks, but in the current situation, there is definitely no way.

So for today's plan, it's better to take Losa and Networms back to the witch's cave before they drown, and then return to find the way to break the gate. Although this is a bit dangerous, the witch should not come to this dumping room so often. Siren decided to pay attention ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ turned around to tell the two companions what they meant, but found that Lothar and the Networms had no time when they had pulled out their weapons and turned their backs to the gate like an enemy. . Fiony froze for a moment, but the Kraken quickly understood why his companion had such a movement. A black shadow shook in the dim light on the walls of the channel and disappeared. What it is?

The Kraken grabbed the shoulders of the two and motioned them to back away. He pulled out the scimitar that originally belonged to the shark-tooth hunter and stood in front of his companion. Humans are not suitable for fighting in the water. Even if they are holding weapons and waving in the water, they can't help but consume a lot of oxygen that cannot be replenished. In this case, it is better to figure out the truth of this unknown shadow by yourself, and let them try to open the gate. Fioni took the machete in his right hand, and the length of this weapon was just right for this small space.

The dark shadow appeared again. This time, the Kraken saw more details with his excellent eyesight. That thing has a fish tail, so is it a fish? This is very likely, whether it is a witch deliberately or unintentionally, it is not difficult to survive in this dumping channel, so the long body is also normal. But I don't know why, Fiorni feels that things are definitely not that simple. He pointed to the gate with his left finger, instructing Lothar and Networm to deal with the obstacle, and he was careful to swim a distance in the passage when he was approaching. If the battle is inevitable, then let it happen. A place far away from the companion.
