Lord of War

125. Dark Crypt

For people like Sean and Cecilia, if they move forward with concentration, they will not feel the passage of time at all. Only the gradual reduction of food and drinking water in their hands is improving their sense of time passing. fast. If they were strong enough, they would naturally not need to eat for a long time. Although this would make their bodies a little weaker, it would definitely not be life-threatening.

It's just that, for the two people who are currently low-level silver, not to mention not eating for a long time, not eating for more than three days is enough to make the body weak. Even Cecilia, if she just drank water and had no food supplies, her life might not be in danger, but the loss of combat power and the loss of magic ability caused by lack of concentration are normal and common things .

Of course, Sean and Cecilia are not currently in the army mode, but are defaulted to the team mode of the adventure group by the system, so Sean's passive ability "survival from a desperate situation" will of course continue to work. It's just that the effect of this special passive skill can only slow down and prevent to a certain extent. If you don't eat for a long time, you will also die because of it.

But in any case, it is very necessary and important to replenish the loss of a large amount of water in the body.

So two days later, when both of them had run out of drinking water, Sean and Cecilia finally came to a sunken crypt.

The strong wind on the desert was still howling, but standing at the entrance of the crypt, Sean and Cecilia did not feel the wind coming from inside, not even the slightest wind current. Standing at the entrance of the crypt and staring inside, in Cecilia's eyes, the entrance of the crypt is like a giant mouth of a monster that wants to choose and devour people, which makes Cecilia feel horrified.

"Don't use any lighting magic." Sean said softly.

Cecilia nodded.

So Sean didn't stop there. With one jump, he jumped in from the entrance of the cave. In the next second, Sean seemed to be swallowed by a monster, and completely disappeared from Cecilia's sight, leaving only a rustling sound, which sounded like sand or something There was the sound of things falling, but as the sound got farther and farther away, after about three or four seconds, Cecilia, who was standing outside the entrance of the crypt, could no longer hear any sound.

"It's a landslide, be careful when jumping off." After a while, Cecilia heard Sean's voice from the crypt.

The sound is a little empty. Even with a hint of echo, it is obvious that the space in the crypt is very vast.

Without hesitation, Cecilia quickly jumped and jumped from the entrance of the crypt. It's just that when she jumped down, her eyes were tightly closed. Obviously, even if Cecilia has become a veteran of the battlefield, even in the face of severed limbs and splattered blood, she can not change her face. But anyway. Cecilia is just a sixteen-year-old girl now, she still has a girlish nature, and she still has some natural fears about many things.

Just after jumping from the crypt, Cecilia clearly felt a sense of weightlessness for a second, which proved that the slope of the crypt was very large, at least far from what it sounded like on the surface. And both feet touch the slope. When the body began to fall backwards, Cecilia screamed unavoidably, and then her buttocks fell heavily to the ground, and her whole body stuck up to the slope.

Cloak on body. It protected Cecilia's body very well, preventing her from being scratched during the process of sliding down the slope.

Of course, Cecilia couldn't avoid the momentary pain when her butt fell heavily. However, this is an unavoidable behavior. Sean also suffered a lot of pain, but he is a soldier with rough skin and thick flesh, so of course he will not feel the obvious and intense pain like Cecilia. So much so that Sean didn't realize the physical difference between Cecilia and himself, so he didn't remind Cecilia.

Sliding down the slope, Cecilia could clearly feel that the slope of the slide became steeper and steeper, and the speed of the slide became faster and faster.

According to normal circumstances, with a cloak protecting him, the speed should be slowed down by the friction of the cloak during this kind of sliding, but the current situation is completely opposite. However, during such a high-speed slide, Cecilia did not dare to touch the slope behind her with her hands. She was afraid that she would scratch her hands if she was not careful. However, as the speed of the slide increased and the time extended , Cecilia's heart became more and more uneasy.

All the signs at present have shown that the slope of this crypt is very steep, and it is obviously very smooth. If there is no second way out, it will be very difficult to return to the original way. But before Cecilia could think about these questions clearly, she felt as if she was suddenly grabbed by something, and then a steady force surged in, lifting her up directly, and she was frightened all of a sudden. Cecilia screamed.

"It's me!" Sean's voice sounded, "Don't bark."

Then, Cecilia, who finally settled down, became quiet.

But at this time, Sean and Cecilia frowned, because the two of them heard a strange cry.

The sound was a bit like a tiger roaring and a lion roaring, but it also had the sharp voice of a leopard. It was obviously a roar, but it was very strange that there were several voices overlapping together. But no matter whether the sound is made by one kind of creature or several kinds of creatures, it can only mean one thing: the other party is a very dangerous creature, because there are no ordinary creatures here in the barren land. Creatures, even when they are young, are still monsters.

Although in this dark environment, Sean couldn't see Cecilia's expression clearly, but he could still feel Cecilia's trembling in his arms for a moment, as well as the tension and fear that made her hold her hand tightly. the movement of one's own body.

Sean chuckled lightly, put Cecilia down, stretched out his hand and patted her on the head lightly, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's fine, I'm here."

"...Hmm." Cecilia clenched Sean's clothes even more tightly, and after a while, she responded softly.

Sean stretched out his hand to hold Cecilia behind him, and at the same time his right hand was already covered with dead bones, but he did not advance blindly, but began to use the dead bones to brush the ground to prevent any accidents. Sean is very clear that the depths of today's wild lands are still unexplored primitive lands, so exploring in these places is very likely to encounter some relatively powerful monsters, so even if Sean knows how to deal with many monsters However, with his current strength, he did not dare to push forward, so he could only move forward cautiously.

And the reason why he didn't allow Cecilia to use magic such as lighting to illuminate the crypt environment was to avoid angering the monsters hiding in the crypts and caves. This kind of monsters are very sensitive to light sources because they live in a dark environment for a long time. Once a light source appears, it is easy to irritate this kind of monsters, which will cause some unnecessary troubles.

Sean didn't come to this cave to hunt monsters, he just wanted to pick some black dharams, and it would be best if he could avoid fighting. So as long as the monsters don't come to trouble him, Sean certainly won't irritate them. At least, if he casts magic like lighting when he is attacked, then the monsters will fall into blindness due to the flash of light. Sean has a stronger fighting advantage before they adapt to the light.

So in a sense, the lighting technique is actually a life-saving talisman for Sean and Cecilia.

Of course, darkvision can actually be cast, but due to certain considerations, Sean prevented Cecilia from casting the spell. So, the two began to move forward in the dark environment.

It wasn't very difficult to move forward along the way, except that there were some stones on the ground that were often swept away by the dead bones in Sean's hands, there was nothing else. Of course, Sean doesn’t know whether these things are stones, but without the lighting technique, Sean thinks that these things are stones. Of course, Cecilia will not object, or that these things may be other things. Treating rolling things as stones is the best choice right now.

After walking for about ten minutes, the dead bone in Sean's hand suddenly felt a shock force, which made Sean immediately realize that there should be a solid object like a wall about half a meter in front of him. However, in order to confirm the situation, Xiao En still moved the dead bone up the obstacle, and soon a stream of sparks sprayed out, and the appearance of the sparks appeared brighter and more dazzling in this dark environment, scaring him. Sean immediately stopped what he was doing.

And almost at the same moment, that roar like a wolf, a tiger, and a leopard rang out again.

But this time, the voice was obviously a little weaker than before.

Sean's eyes lit up, and he could tell that the voice wasn't too far away from his position.

"Left." Cecilia had already said.

"Let's go." Sean reached out and grabbed Cecilia's hand, and started walking to the left.

Not long after, Sean discovered that there was a corner here suddenly, and at the end of the corner, there was a faint burst of fluorescence. The light is not bright, but it is enough to illuminate the surrounding situation in the current environment. In this fluorescent environment, Sean and Cecilia are enough to avoid the interference of the dark environment, at least they can see the surrounding situation clearly up.

Soon, the two saw the end.

Here is also a corner, but after turning this corner, the situation in the crypt has changed significantly.
