Vol 3 Chapter 17: Attack, arrow in the dark (5,000 words tomorrow)

>Alantis.
There are four words of dark sky to describe this underground world as appropriate, eternal darkness, you can’t look up at the familiar starry sky, and you don’t even know that it’s day and night outside. Meters away, not to mention the ground where the pedestrians are now.
Walking on the ancient stone road, Murphy seemed to have traveled to the ancient Sycamore Empire hundreds of years ago in the dim light of his wand.
Just frowning and advancing, he found a fact that worries him...Saveras' scepter seems to have suddenly become more enchanted than before after entering here-the original whisper gradually became the ear. The sound of confession that could not be ignored made him even more troubled. ♀The scepter made Murphy enough to order almost any dark creature, but what it was paying for was not yet understood by Murphy.
Sunderland, who is now pursuing the "truth", does not know that the ultimate goal he is looking for is behind him. Murphy followed the great magister, glancing around, cautiously every step of the way.
The accompanying mages even released a reconnaissance every three steps.
"Alantis, as a huge underground city, is divided into different areas according to the living conditions of the blood tribe. If Yizuier has left traces, perhaps the greatest possibility should be the blood elders in the ruling class."
Sunderland did not point the wand's light across the sky or above his shoulders from beginning to end. When he stopped, he first released a "constant dark enchantment" and then used superb elemental control in Murphy In front of Sri Lanka, all the maps of the area currently explored were constructed with ice crystals. "We are in the residential area where the "civilians" are located. The Clemens family is highly graded. In the heyday, in addition to the number of family members of more than a thousand Other dark races provided refuge and enslaved a horrible number of dark creatures."
He drew several directions around the building where the ice crystals condensed and continued: "This should be the residence area of ​​the inferior civilians, but there is no information to determine the location of the elders area, although I can use the largest range of lighting to find , But it is prudent to explore insurance step by step."
Murphy had no objection, nodded, turned and asked the family magician: "What's the result of reconnaissance?"
"It seems that this is a dead city, but there seems to be some below us--"
Ron, the head of the family mage, hadn't answered yet, and the whole ground shook violently!
"boom!"
The muffled sound echoed in the huge space, deafening.
Murphy immediately lowered his body, looked back, and Hydera, who was behind the team, stared at the gleaming giant snake eyes, but there was no extra action. Sphinx did not call, which means it also did not know that it happened. What's wrong.
"Click!"
The blast of something cracking, followed by the roar of heavy objects falling to the ground
The ancient building was already covered with dust, and the sand was suddenly dusty in the shock, but after ten seconds of continuous shaking, the surroundings of the pedestrian suddenly calmed down, as if no one had moved one cent in a century None of the shops had collapsed, the dust was gone, and Murphy, who was ready to fight, was highly vigilant. The swordsmen standing on the outer periphery narrowed their eyes, but suddenly one of them made a tactical gesture!
The gesture of "find cover immediately", three times.
The composition of this team is extremely average, which has caused the fundamental principle that no one will ignore the warning of anyone else-so the next moment, with Sunderland and Murphys, the group immediately saw this gesture. Running towards the wall next to it, the light of the wand went out, and the seventeen people held their breath!
Because they also felt the sound of the sky from the sky-countless vampire bats that Murphy was no stranger to roared past, the sound of the collision of the wings alone made the scalp tingling, and the large bat group was just from above a pedestrian It took almost a minute to fly through.
This shows that the number of vampire bats exceeds 100,000.
The quantitative change is enough to constitute a qualitative change. Although there are six high-level mages, but when faced with a suffocating number of dark creatures, the variable still exists-the reality is always cruel than the theory, and historically died in low-level occupations There are innumerable magicians, and equal-level suppression does not mean invincibility. Murphy understands that this group of bats seems to be just an appetizer to welcome himself in this strange underground world.
"Go ahead and be alert at any time, the constant enchantment of elements overlaps and releases, the emergency scrolls don't need to be saved, and the swordsman team maximizes defense."
After several commands, Murphy continued to advance the team. The high-level swordsmen no longer used long swords, but replaced with spare metal shields, but the teams that escaped the disaster passed through the civilian area and entered. Another area of ​​tall buildings.
It looks like the opera house and arena frequented by the Byzantine nobility. It is still a quiet and empty environment. When it is not time to figure out where it is, Hydera who has been behind the team suddenly opened. Wings, made an unpredictable hiss!
This unexpected situation made the party very surprised, countless elements condensed, if not Murphy reached out to stop, I am afraid that Hydera will suffer more than five single magic attacks of level 25 or higher in the next moment-as Hydera The owner, Murphys and Hydera have certain telepathic communication methods, but at this moment Murphys can’t judge Hydera’s emotions.
He could only see that the giant snake seemed to be excited because of something. The tail, which would not normally move, was gently swaying, the body was curled up, and his head was looking around. His wings raised the dust around him. , Looks a little crazy like uncontrollable.
This is definitely not a happy thing-Murphy reached out and tried to control the suddenly mad giant snake, but found that Hydera could not be as obedient as before, his eyes immediately swept around and fought. The ready gesture, then ran towards Hydera quickly!
He needed to control the beast face-to-face and brought it with him to find trouble, and Murphy could not help but cause serious consequences due to mistakes that should not have occurred.
But just before I ran out a few steps, the ground started shaking again!
"hiss--"
Hydera hurriedly lifted up a huge snake body, flapping its wings towards the sky. The violent airflow caused the running Murphy to resist the advance because of the elemental air waves carried by the wings. In front of Murphys flew straight towards the sky!
This giant snake that followed Murphy for a long time completely lost control and disappeared into darkness almost instantaneously.
The vibration of the ground continued, Murphys lowered his body, and the sand and dust raised by Hyde around him prevented him from opening his eyes to pursue the figure of the snake. When the smoke disappeared and the vibration stopped, he had no idea that Hydera had gone. Where did it go.
"Pooh!"
Murphy spit out, and after eating a mouthful of sand, he was extremely depressed, but there was nowhere to vent-the magicians behind him did not dare to point the wand at the sky, and Hydera, whose telepathy was completely cut off, was completely and completely I lost contact with myself.
Sulfuras scepter failed?
Murphy's palm stretched involuntarily toward the back of the package, but suddenly suddenly touched the moment he was about to touch it. He slowly straightened his body, squinting slightly, and suddenly seemed to understand what was happening, and then the fingers that were only a few centimeters from the opening of the backpack slowly put down, rubbing his brow, he turned his head to Sunderland and said: "We will try Leaving here, I don’t know what it will cause when it goes crazy."
Sunderland was more calm at this time, first waved a wide range of magical reconnaissance, then "cleansing", to remove the smell and traces left by Hydera here, and then reconnaissance While the technique was in effect, he suddenly raised his wand and pointed to the huge building aside-"There are people in it."
The sound was smooth, without any excitement or panic. The mage’s range of reconnaissance was much larger than that of the other five mage, and almost immediately noticed the strangeness nearby, and the voice just fell, and the battle of more than ten family guards immediately behind him The formation surrounded Murphys.
This is the power of the family guard-everything is centered on Murphy's life safety, which is their unshirkable mission.
"go ahead."
Murphy made a tactical gesture by waving his hand. The whole team took the high-level swordsman as the vanguard and quickly entered the huge building with the size of the Byzantine Constantine Arena in the field of vision. The huge circular structure makes everyone understand This is an ancient arena-style arena. The crowds with limited vision due to darkness saw a wide sandy land at the end of the passage. That seems to be the place where gladiators compete ~EbookFREE.me~ with carved patterns The scenes of duels are mostly on the guardrail, which is simple and primitive.
While passing through the passage, and just seeing the open arena, a spark broke the silence.
"Boo!"
When no one had time to react, a metal collision made the swordsman in the front row swiftly lift the shield instinctively to cover, and Murphy squatted down, the wand in his hand pointed in the direction of the sound source for the first time-and Faster than him is Sunderland and three battle-hardened family magicians. The elemental magic that has been condensed in front of them flashes a variety of faint lights, but when the source of the sound is clearly seen , A group of people is a tight heart.
The pure metal shield in the hands of a high-ranking swordsman has an extra feather arrow.
The shield placed on the hands of the family guard is not a bargain used by ordinary soldiers on the battlefield. This kind of fine iron tower shield that can resist most arrows is extremely heavy, and it can only be used in the hands of powerful swordsmen. Although the arrow is not very good, the arrow that deeply penetrated the shield told everyone that its power is absolutely not bad!
It seems that someone in this seemingly sleeping city has been awakened.
