Kingdom’s Bloodline

Chapter 675 Corpse Tunnel

In the alley, just when the heroic Prince Thales took a deep breath and was about to step forward to show his heroism and save Slimani, Shilay grabbed him.

"Wait a minute, there are three of them. What are you going to do? Stab them in the butt with your little sword?"

Thales picked up a dagger and raised his eyebrows.

"According to circumstances."

Okay, he really didn't think about this.

"According to circumstances?"

Miss Kevin Dill looked sarcastic: "Really, it sounds really reassuring."

The three swordsmen were getting closer and closer to Slimani, who clung to the wall and limped away as he struggled to escape.

Thales sighed:

"If you let them take him away... they will kill him. We have to do something!"

Hilley hesitated:

"Okay, look at me."

Thales was startled and grabbed Shilai who was about to walk out:

"Wait, what can you do, and what are you going to do? Perform magic tricks for them?"

Xi Lai subconsciously pulled away the gloved hand and rolled his eyes when he heard this:

“Adapt measures to local conditions.”

Adapt measures to local conditions…

Thales laughed angrily:

"Wow, that sounds just as reassuring."

At this moment, another accident happened at the other end of the alley.

"Wow! Brothers, happy celebration!"

The expressions of the three swordsmen changed and they turned around cautiously.

"hapiness!"

"Cool!"

"Keep drinking!"

"Drink the Emerald City dry!"

"It's like fucking a mother-in-law!"

The noise came, and the exit of the alley was shadowy and noisy, accompanied by a large number of people singing in unison:

"La la la la la, la la la la la la, the proud sailor is drifting away!"

"Hit the pirate to panic!"

"Go back and get the captain off the boat!"

"Keep the wealth and jewelry for yourself!"

“La la la la la, la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la ...

The singing with an unpleasant melody came from far away, and a large group of men wearing short shirts and carrying wine bottles staggered into the alley, shoulder to shoulder, and the sour wine hit their nostrils wherever they went.

Thales and Hilley looked at each other: This might be an opportunity.

Slimani, who was struggling to escape, was overjoyed when he saw this, but the leading swordsman frowned. With a look, he told his two companions to hold the defender, and he turned around to face the new group of drunkards.

"who are you?"

At first, there was a man who smelled of alcohol, had disheveled hair, and hiccupped. He managed to hold on to the wall to steady himself.

"We have four followers? Four followers? Hahaha, hahaha!"

He was obviously hungover and delirious. He spoke in a spluttering voice with a thick accent from the countryside on the south coast:

"Brothers, Da, Da, Da, tell them to stop us, we, we, we are all around, the four Sammo people?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his group of swaying companions who were supporting each other cheered and raised their arms in response:

"The bravest man!"

"The cutest person!"

"sailor!"

"crew!"

"drunkard!"

"The most awesome person!"

"The first mate's slave!"

"Deck wiper!"

"Samelet's father!"

"Girls' dream girl!"

"The captain's father!"

"His ancestors!"

"His son-in-law!"

"His wife's lover!"

"His mistress's mistress!"

"His son's biological father!"

"His mother's husband!"

"Pirates—poof, distributors of wealth at sea!"

The alley was narrow, and the cries and howls of this large group of people were so deafening that even Thales and Hilley, who were hiding inside, couldn't help but cover their ears.

"Okay, okay, I understand, you're a sailor ashore, right? Okay, let's leave now..." The leading swordsman looked disgusted.

But the alcoholic sailor with a southern accent waved his bottle as if waving a baton in a chorus:

"We four——"

His fellow sailors raised their hands and echoed in unison:

"Warriors of the Wya!"

The three swordsmen, as well as Slimani, who was captured by them, had distorted expressions on their faces.

etc.

What kind of warriors?

Um?

Thales and Hilley looked at each other, both surprised.

"Help - woo!" Slimani's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he was about to shout for help, but was roughly restrained by a swordsman.

"What, help?"

A sailor looked over dazedly:

"Help for what?"

The leading swordsman stood in front of him calmly and pushed the sailor back:

"It's okay, he drank too much."

"Oh, brother, are you drunk? It's good to be drunk!"

Another sailor shook the bottle and approached the swordsmen happily:

"Cheers and happy Queen's Day!"

Hmm, this voice seems a bit familiar?

Thales, who had doubts, felt more and more wrong the more he listened.

He scratched the wall, secretly exposed half of his head, and entered the hell sense.

"Of course, happy Queen's Day, happy." The leading swordsman responded awkwardly. Just as he was trying to squeeze through the crowd and leave, he was grabbed by the shoulder by a sailor at the head.

In the hell sense, Thales took a closer look:

The man shaking the bottle of wine and holding arms with the swordsman smelled of alcohol, wore simple clothes, had messy hair, and his face was dirty...

But that face shape, height and body shape...

Isn't it the First Class Guard Officer of the Star Lake Guard, His Excellency Danny Doyle?

Thales was stunned.

"Come, let's have a drink together for our great Duke Zhan!"

I saw D.D's eyes blurred, one hand hooking the swordsman's neck, and the other hand raising the bottle:

"Wish him good health!"

His companions responded.

Thales narrowed his eyes: among these drunken sailors, some were noisy, some spoke to help, some staggered around, some pretended to be drunk, and some were silent to cover up, but he knew them all, respectively. Star Lake Guard's "King of Duel" Nehi, "Old Kong" Conmuto, "Bronze" Cuesta, "Tall Man" Franzuk, "Civilized and Polite" Morgan, "Old Skin" Piloga... …

There were about eight or nine people in total. Well, there were also a few guys I didn't know. They were probably drunkards who went to the street to get money for drinks.

But they...

"Of course, you're in good health, so there's no need to drink. Thank you. We're in a hurry, so let's go now..." The leading swordsman was a little embarrassed and calmly took off D.D's hand.

He waved, and his two companions, one on the left and one on the right, coerced the frightened Slimani, preparing to squeeze out of the crowd.

But at this moment, D.D suddenly spoke:

"Hey, boss, that's not right! I recognize this person!"

He staggered two steps exaggeratedly, burped, and pointed at the leading swordsman:

"Here! Everyone! The person you are looking for is here!"

ah?

The next second, the crowd separated, and Morgan stepped forward angrily and grabbed the swordsman:

"You! It's you. You fucked my wife, right?"

The three swordsmen were all stunned, and the leader was even more confused:

"What?"

Morgan was seen smelling of alcohol, and he let out a loud sigh:

"It's you! Yesterday I finally returned home, and you were in her room. You lied to me that you were here to repair the wardrobe, but I still believed you..."

The expression of the leading swordsman changed:

"No, you must have recognized the wrong person..."

"You're right! You also said that it was too hot in the closet, so you had to strip naked before you could work. I actually fucking believed you...but you can't run away today!"

"I don't even know your wife!"

"Okay, you don't even know her, but you can still get along with her!"

"I-I don't even know you!"

"Fuck! You don't even know me, but you still fuck my wife! You are such a scumbag!"

The swordsman couldn't bear it and roared:

"I didn't fuck your wife!"

"The last person who came to paint the walls said the same thing!"

Morgan responded equally viciously, unequivocally: "But I won't be fooled again! Not anymore!"

"I think you are here to cause trouble - get out of here!" The leading swordsman pushed Morgan away.

But Morgan held down the opponent's arm unwilling to be outdone. D.D called out from the side, and the "sailors" rushed towards the swordsman and Slimani and began to push.

"Who do you want to mess with? How dare you mess with my sister-in-law?"

"Our sister-in-law!"

"Everyone's sister-in-law!"

"Don't move your hands or feet!"

"Apologise! Pay compensation!"

"Sorry sister-in-law!"

"let's go!"

"No! You can't leave without telling me!"

"You got the wrong person!"

"The last gardener said the same thing!"

Suddenly, the alleyway was crowded with people. Although the swordsmen were well-trained, they had nowhere to start, let alone draw their weapons. For a while, the big men all over the body were complaining.

"What is going on?" In the dark corner, Xi Lai looked confused.

The hell sense suddenly moved, and Thales raised his head suddenly:

I saw a monocular telescope retracted on the edge of the eaves in the distance.

But this did not prevent Thales from recognizing that it was Itariano from the Star Lake Guards. The latter was trusted by Mallos, and his crossbow hit 90 times.

The conflict and pushing in the alley became more and more out of control. Finally, the last swordsman holding Slimani loosened his grip, and the defense lawyer fell to the ground and crawled forward with his head covered.

The leading swordsman saw this scene and shouted anxiously:

"No, no, stop him!"

But before he finished speaking, Morgan's fist came over his hood:

"Don't even think about leaving!"

The "sailors" adjusted their positions tacitly and just missed Slimani, blocking the three struggling swordsmen.

Seeing Slimani slowly crawling toward them inch by inch, Shirai's eyes widened in disbelief.

At this moment, a greeting came from behind Thales:

"Hey you!"

Thales and Shilai turned around cautiously, but were surprised to find that the person standing behind them was Huaiya - the real Huaiya.

The prince's attendant changed his attire and wore a small leather hat. Now he looked like the boy next door who came out to run errands and do some work.

"Huai——" Thales was about to blurt out subconsciously, but stopped abruptly.

Hilley narrowed his eyes.

I saw Huaiya - the real one - taking a deep breath and stepping forward.

"You!" Huaiya said unhappily.

Oops.

Thales suddenly remembered that he had sneaked out to act alone without communicating with Waiya in advance.

Just like last time in Longxiao City.

The attendant stared at Thales angrily, his chest heaving, obviously very angry at the prince's private idea:

"Magic Master Wyatt?"

Xi Lai's eyelids twitched, and he consciously took half a step back, leaving the stage to the remaining two people.

Thales was a little embarrassed to be stared at by the real Huaiya:

"that--"

But before the prince could speak, Huaiya took out a money bag and thrust it into Thales's hand.

"You dropped something."

Um?

Before Thales could react, Huaiya snorted angrily, turned and left, and soon disappeared at the end of the alley.

Thales was left holding the money bag blankly, at a loss.

"What is that?" Xi Lai came over curiously.

Thales raised his head, looked at the position where Itarriano was monitoring, then looked at the "sailor" behind him who was pushing and shoving the swordsmen, and finally looked at the direction in which Wyatt disappeared.

"That's... a safety rope." He said sarcastically.

safety rope?

Xi Lai understood and sighed loudly:

"Little princess."

Thales looked unhappy:

"You! I'll settle this with you later...it's our turn now."

The next moment, when Slimani finally climbed out of the crowd, climbed to the end of the alley, and raised his head as if he had survived a disaster, he saw a shabby young man and a flower girl standing in front, smiling at him.

"You, you, it's you! Those two jugglers across the street just now!"

Xi Lai tilted his head: "Huh?"

Thales shrugged, "That's right."

Slimani did not recognize the two people whose appearance had changed drastically, but he remembered something and his expression was horrified:

"The guy who shaved his head was right! You really have a problem——"

"Yes, we have a problem. We are following you. We have ulterior motives. We are foreign forces and half a million people walking around." Thales pulled him up from the ground and said impatiently, "So, are you willing now?" "Follow us, or go with the group of people behind with military control swords?"

Slimani's head was spinning, but he understood the last sentence.

The man with the military control sword...

The defense attorney hesitated and looked at the alley behind him: a group of big men were still pushing each other, sweating profusely.

"I told you to fuck my wife! Fuck my wife! Fuck my wife!"

"Only I can do this to my wife!"

"Yes! Our sister-in-law is the only one who can do it..."

Slimani turned around, swallowed his throat, and smiled ugly.

Soon, the three figures disappeared into the alley, leaving only the shouts of a group of big men.

After an unknown amount of time, three cowering figures - Thales, Hillai and Slimani - finally appeared in front of another fork in the street.

"It must be Caguire, the coward. He betrayed me."

Slimani was limping with the help of Thales, and his mind was not at ease:

"I thought he was protecting important people and could know more about the inside story, but... damn, I helped him so much in the past and made him rise to the police station. I regard him as a friend..."

"Yes, long live friendship - there are two security officers turning left ahead." Thales responded one after another while vigilantly looking around with his hell sense.

Hilley turned the corner deftly and led them onto another street where no security officer was patrolling.

"And the Duke, he actually wants to silence me - oh," Slimani stamped his foot sadly, but forgot about the injury on his foot, which made the pain worse, "I have done so much for him, But he..."

"Hey!"

Hilley couldn't bear it anymore: "Concentrate, okay? Great Defender, we are saving your life, no, to be precise, we are running for our lives!"

Only then did Slimani come back to his senses and look at the two people around him.

"Magician Huaiya? Huaiya? Yes, I am a little familiar with this name. This name seems to have appeared somewhere. Yes, it is the guest list of the competition banquet. You are, you are..."

Slimani's expression changed and his hands trembled:

"Are you the prince's people?"

Thales frowned, but Hilley replied before him.

"Yes, we serve the North Star," Hilley winked mysteriously and poked Thales, "If the stars are there——"

Thales had a shit-eating expression on his face and reluctantly continued:

"The empire, that, lasts forever."

Slimani was still vigilant: "Then why have I never seen you in his escort team?"

Thales coughed: "Um, serving in secret."

Serve secretly...

Slimani thought about something again. He covered his mouth and his eyes were horrified: "Secretly, you, are you from the kingdom's secret department?"

It was Heeley's turn to frown, but Thales quickly took over the topic.

"Yes, we are from the secret department, respected Mr. Slimani," the young man put on a mysterious look, "The stars are shining——"

Xi Lai glanced at him unhappily and took over the conversation:

"It's dark in the dim place - don't waste time, get back to the topic!"

"You... you are so young, is this what you do?"

"What's the matter? The Scarlet Witch has been working in the darkroom since she was eight years old."

In front of the incredulous Slimani, Thales coughed:

"Now, tell me, what is the secret behind the deaths of the wine merchant Dagory and the wool merchant Diop? What does it have to do with the Duke of South Bank? What exactly did you discover, and why did Zhan want to kill you?"

"I found it, found it..."

The name of the secret department was a bit scary. Slimani was distracted for several seconds before replying with difficulty.

"I, this little brother Huaiya from the secret department, I'm sorry, I, I can't tell you."

Thales raised his eyebrows.

"Don't tell us? Okay, then go tell the Duke," Hilley answered cooperatively. She pulled away Thales' hand holding the defender's hand, "You just need to stay here and wait for those people." Just find you.”

Slimani's expression froze.

Thales nodded and whistled:

"Perhaps the Duke will listen to you on a ship on the high seas?"

Slimani's face turned even darker.

Thales and Hillai exchanged glances and walked forward side by side without hesitation, leaving Slimani standing there blankly.

After several seconds, the defense attorney figured it out and sighed sadly.

"Okay, I'll tell you!"

Srimani stretched out his hand to stop them:

"But I can only tell His Highness the Prince in person, after seeing him!"

After Thales heard this, he couldn't help but turn around, clear his throat, and straighten his collar:

"Ahem, in fact, what's standing in front of you -"

But Slimani continued counting on his fingers:

"And ensure my safety! Instead of being chased by a group of mercenaries wielding swords and swords like now!"

He looked at Thales stubbornly:

"Anyway, I won't say anything unless I'm safe!"

Thales and Heeley looked at each other.

"But-" Thales was about to speak, but was interrupted.

"His Royal Highness Thales holds a high position and has many things to do. Where does he find the time to listen to you in person?" Hilley said softly, but Thales always felt that there was contempt in the corner of her mouth when she said this.

"I'm not a fool. Because of his high position, he doesn't care about us little pawns... Once I say it out, I will be even less valuable!"

Srimani said angrily:

"Believe me, what I know will be of great help to your master! If Polaris knew about it, he would be able to hold Duke Zhan and the Kevin Deere family in the palm of his hand, trying to make the Duke bow his head. , he doesn’t dare to raise his head. If he wants the duke to go west, he doesn’t dare to go east. If he wants to marry Miss Hilley, the duke will have to give his sister his hands and give her some dowry himself! "

Forehead……

Thales raised his eyebrows, while Hilley snorted coldly.

"So, I won't be able to tell you until I see the prince and can guarantee absolute safety, as well as the safety of my family."

Thales sighed.

It seems there is no good solution.

We can only settle down first - maybe we can get the polite Morgan to have a chat with him?

"Now I have to escape from the Emerald City, no, escape from the South Coast Territory, or even escape from the kingdom, and go far away." Slimani became more and more worried as he spoke, "Oh no, this is my home, my My career, my life, my job are all ruined, ruined, all ruined..."

Having no time to care about Slimani, who was holding his head in pain, Shilay looked at Thales:

"Okay, where do we go now?"

"If you sneak back to Kongming Palace..." Thales pondered.

"No! I won't go! You can't go to Kongming Palace!"

Slimani woke up with a start, trembling: "No! The Duke, he knows... the high seas, the ship..."

Seeing his appearance, the prince and the eldest lady looked at each other.

Xi Lai shook his head: "It can't be on the street, with vigilance officers and the Emerald Legion..."

Thales nodded: "There are also the eyes and ears of the Blood Bottle Gang. If there are too many people, they will be discovered."

"Yes," a few seconds later, Xi Lai's brows relaxed, "Follow me."

More than ten minutes later, Shilay led the embarrassed Thales and Slimani around, avoiding the crowds, walking through the streets and alleys, and came to the back of a high wall. There was a lot of people behind the wall. There are few people in front of the wall, and the surrounding area is overgrown with grass.

"Where is this?" Srimani asked stupidly

"Your safe house."

Hilley pulled up his sleeves, clapped his hands, pushed aside a pile of weeds, and pointed at a stone slab exposed below: "Open it."

Thales looked at the thick stone slab and looked at each other with Slimani.

"Why, do you still need me to do the hard work?" The eldest lady said confidently.

Thales and Slimani sighed. They found a wooden pole and pried open the stone slab together.

The stone slab moved away, revealing a dark hole, and a stench came from inside. Slimani immediately covered his mouth and nose with an expression of disgust.

"Is this a sewer?"

Xi Lai stepped forward, lifted up her skirt, and smiled slightly:

"What, has it insulted your status, Chief Advocate?"

After the words fell, Xi Lai jumped nimbly and jumped into the bottomless hole.

Only a surprised Thales and a disgusted Slimani were left, at a loss on the ground.

"What are you doing standing still?"

A girl's voice came from the entrance of the cave: "The sewer or the high seas, it's your choice!"

Well, it appears to be safe.

Thales scratched his head.

It's just...how does she know so many things?

Slimani looked at the entrance of the cave and sighed:

"You spies, why are you so disgusting?"

"Yes." As soon as Thales got down, he was smelled back by the stench from the cave entrance. He covered his mouth and nose with an unhappy look on his face, "We are so disgusting."

He pointed towards the entrance of the cave:

"To prevent you from escaping, would you please come first?"

Slimani covered his face in pain and jumped into the hole as if resigned to his fate.

"Did you hit the bottom?" Thales shouted towards the hole.

"arrive!"

Slimani's voice came back from the entrance of the cave:

"Ouch, my legs! Damn it, it stinks down there - ahhhh! No, no, no, help!"

Hearing Slimani's voice suddenly turn into a cry of fear, Thales couldn't help but be shocked.

"What's going on? Srimani?"

"No, no, no! Help! Don't! Don't! Stay away from me!" Slimani became more and more frightened.

"What's down there--"

Thales looked around subconsciously, and then he remembered that Hilley had already gone down first.

Damn it!

Hilley found this place. What is down there and what happened?

The entrance to the cave was extremely dark, and even the hell senses could only hear the slightest sound of water.

After a few seconds, Slimani's voice disappeared, and Taylor didn't reply no matter how he called.

Thales gritted his teeth.

no solution anymore.

The young man was worried, he took a deep breath, held his breath, and jumped into the dark hole!

Bang!

Water splashed everywhere.

Damn it.

Thales cursed in his heart, covered his mouth and nose, and shook away the foul-smelling sewage.

Not surprisingly, he stepped into knee-deep sewage.

But what was unexpected was that the sewer was not so dark that you could not see your fingers. In fact, the walls on both sides of the sewer were covered with unspecified fungi, some of which glowed with a faint blue light and were slightly illuminated. Out of sight.

Thales held JC tightly and stood up carefully.

What about Hilley?

What about Srimani?

Crash.

The sound of footsteps treading water reached his ears. After walking for about ten steps, until the water under his feet gradually became shallower, Thales finally saw Slimani's figure in the dimness: he was kneeling on the ground with his head in his hands, his forehead pressed against the wall. , shivering.

"Slimani?"

Ignoring the rotten stench all over his body, Thales lifted his steps with difficulty and moved forward amidst the sound of rushing water.

"What's wrong? Where is Xi-Huiana?"

At this moment, Thales' scalp tightened and he stopped!

In the darkness, the hell sensory feedback comes with unusual information:

breathe.

Yes, breathe.

At this moment, there are one, two, three, four, five, six... in front and behind the sewer...

There are a dozen different breathing sounds.

Front, back, left, and right, all around him.

And the most recent breath...

"Woo~lu~wu~"

In the darkness, Thales swallowed his throat, and the nerves in his body were extremely tense.

"Woo~lu~wu~"

In the darkness and tension, Thales sighed and turned around reluctantly:

A dark monster was parked quietly a foot away behind him at this moment.

Thales got a headache:

What are you doing?

Come again?

Soon, the hell sense dispelled the darkness in front of his eyes, allowing him to see clearly the appearance of the monster:

It has a twisted face, a wide mouth, outward-turned teeth, a crooked nose, and eyes so small that they are almost two black dots, making it look ugly and uncomfortable.

"woo woo woo woo……"

At this moment, it made a horrifying breathing sound, and two disproportionately huge arms stretched out from the water on both sides, slowly approaching Thales.

Thales frowned, but this time, he had already expected it after experiencing many battles, and the fear in his heart weakened a lot.

All right.

This ugly face is, well, not as scary as the "Faceless Cork" with no eyes or nose.

"Xi——Stop playing! Didn't you say you won't scare me anymore..."

Thales sighed, reached out and grabbed the hair of Xi Lai's new leather holster, and pulled it down with force.

But in the next second, the ugly monster in front of him let out a terrifying roar!

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Thales was immediately startled, and at the same time his heart skipped a beat.

This is also... too realistic, right?

But before he could think of anything, the ugly monster in front of him waved his giant arm and slapped Thales hard!

At that moment, Thales felt like he had hit a wall.

boom! Wow!

After the collision and the sound of water, Thales flew out and got up in the sewage with stars in his eyes.

what happened?

"woo woo woo woo!"

The monster roared angrily, its distorted face even more ugly.

Thales gasped in pain.

Such a monster is actually so powerful?

But isn't that Hile...

The next second, Thales' thoughts were interrupted.

"Hiss-"

"Shuashuashua——"

"Roar--"

As the monster roared, there were echoes one after another in the sewer | roars, tearing sounds, crawling sounds, fetching sounds, sucking sounds...

One is weirder than the other.

And they only have one thing in common:

It is not a sound that humans can make.

What are you doing?

Thales' face turned pale. He subconsciously raised the dagger and stepped back until his back hit the wall.

What exactly is this place?

The sewage underfoot rippled and surged back and forth.

Uh-huh!

Water splashed up and sprayed Thales' head and face.

But that's not the worst.

A monster covered in spikes and carapace, dragging an arthropod tail and several limbs, climbed out of the water, revealing a face full of tumors.

"Ahhh, human flesh! Human flesh! Human flesh!"

The half-human, half-insect monster twitched its jointed limbs at him and made a sharp male voice:

"The water ghouls are eating human flesh!"

Hold!

Thales was so frightened that he rolled away from the monster without paying attention to the sewage on the ground.

No no no...

What the hell...

"Wiana!"

With panic and fear, Thales quickly stood up and shouted towards the surroundings:

"Where are you!"

But the Sin of the Hell River reported back what it had seen and heard, making Thales even more frightened:

Under the dim light, shadows appeared on both sides of the sewer, and all kinds of inhuman monsters appeared one after another:

Some monsters emerge from the sewage, and the breathing holes on their backs discharge the sewage, and they relax;

Some monsters stretch out tentacles from corners, looming;

Some monsters fall from the ceiling overhead and roll forward;

Some had insect heads and were staring at Thales, some had two human heads sticking out and their bodies were twisted, and some had thin and long arms and legs, almost like stick insects;

Some monsters have seven or eight hands that are constantly twisting around their bodies...

Slowly but surely, they moved towards Thales.

"No, no, no - help!" Slimani's cry came from the other end of the sewer.

But Thales had no time to worry about him. He looked at this extraordinary sewer in disbelief and tried his best not to tremble: "Here, what exactly is this place?"

"Where?"

Thales, who was nervous, turned around instantly!

I saw the half-human, half-insect monster with a sharp male voice rolling its tail limbs, slowly coming behind him, and letting out a harsh laugh in the darkness:

"Welcome, humans! Welcome to give us extra food!"

Extra meal?

Following the monster's words, a louder and more chaotic roar came from the sewer.

In the distance, the ugly-faced monster that had just beaten Thales away was wading out of the water.

Thales was stunned.

No.

The monster slowly raised its giant arms, revealing the person lying on them:

It's Hilley.

At this moment, Cecilia Kevin Deere was lying weakly on the giant arm of the monster.

Unconscious.

Covered in blood.

Let others slaughter you.

"No!" Thales screamed.

"The Sunset despises us, Kevin Deere betrays us, and the Emerald City despises us! Only hell and demons, only witchcraft and curses, only fear and hatred accept us!"

Accompanied by the roars of the same kind, the half-human, half-insect monster's laughter was extremely terrifying, echoing in the sewer:

"So, for thousands of years, we, who have been cursed, have been feeding on humans!"

Its open jointed limbs move back and forth, just like its mouth before eating:

"Humans, welcome to the corpse tunnel!"
