My Liver Experience in the World of Cthulhu

Chapter 142 Black Shadow Evil Spirit
After Crown entered the passage, he found that it sloped downwards in a spiral shape.

Judging from the sense of direction, the passage is generally away from the castle on the ground and extends to the back of the castle.

He roughly calculated their distance from the ground and concluded that they were five or six meters underground, and the passage was still going downwards.

In the tunnel, there are more and more black tree roots, drilling in and out of the soil.

Crown thought of the huge tangled tree roots that wrapped around the temple in Angkor Wat in his previous life, but here it was underground and the atmosphere was much more depressing.

Nick walked in front silently, and the figures illuminated by the lights twisted and moved in the tunnel, like ghosts that followed him everywhere.

After more than ten minutes, the priest stopped.

Crown caught up from behind and saw that a large semicircular hole had been dug here, which was more than three meters high. The tunnel behind it branched into three branches.

On the wall of the big hole, the huge claw marks are even clearer.

The team members filed in. Liya came forward with an oil lamp and touched some of the traces. She confirmed, "The soil at the incisions of these traces is still very new, which means they were caught in the past few days."

She bent down and searched carefully on the ground, finding several vague footprints.

Liya measured it a few times with her hands and continued: "The monster should be a creature that walks upright on two legs. It is about forty centimeters long and has three thick toes."

She hammered the ground with her hand, pondered for a moment and said, "It weighs about six hundred pounds, which is about the same as an adult male brown bear."

"Six hundred pounds is really a big guy. In such a narrow tunnel, there is no room to hide at all." Nick grinned and said: "However, it is still within my tolerance range. Rest for 5 minutes and do Ready for battle, what time is it now?”

Crown replied: "A quarter past two."

"Search for another hour, no, just search for half an hour. Evacuate immediately regardless of whether you have gained anything or not." Nick put down his shield and flail and flexed his fingers.

The members of Liya's team began to apply sword oil on their weapons. Crown thought for a while and said, "Everyone, can anyone lend me some evil spirit oil? Curse oil is also fine."

"I'll lend it to you." Lorraine raised the bottle in her hand and handed it over: "I have a lot more."

"Thank you." Crown took it and quickly painted the blade of the sword.

Evil spirit oil is yellow grease. When applied to the sword, you can smell a faint fishy smell.

After Nick saw that everyone was ready, he picked up his weapon and chose the leftmost passage and walked in. Everyone kept the formation they had just entered and followed.

The passage at the back is much taller than when we first came in. It must have been specially dug by that unknown monster.

. . . .

After Nick led everyone down the passage, Jason and the two watched the surrounding situation vigilantly.

They placed four oil lamps with holy water added around the underground hole, and the bright white lights illuminated half of the hall.

Mara couldn't bear the embarrassment of silence and said, "Jason, can I ask how long it has been since you became a second-level transcendent?"

"It's been five or six years," Jason responded calmly.

"That's it." The female knight's tone seemed to be much more relaxed, "Then how long has it been since Crown became a second-level transcendent?"

"He, I didn't ask in detail, but I guess he was promoted not long ago, no more than a month."

"Huh?!" Mara gently covered her open mouth with her hand, and then closed her chin with her thumb.

"Ah what?" Jason glanced at her, "I can't believe it either, but there's no need for Captain Nick to lie about this kind of thing."

The female knight fell into silence, feeling a little stuck in her heart.

After a while, she said leisurely: "I really don't know how he cultivated to be so powerful."

"People are gifted, and some people do have abilities far beyond ordinary people in some things," Jason said in a calm voice.

He has seen many people who are more talented than him, but now there are only a handful of people who are better than him, and some of them are even no longer alive.

Now he has understood that he is just an ordinary person who works hard and is somewhat lucky. As long as he has his own rhythm of life and perseveres in his efforts, he will be able to stand on a high place and overlook the scenery.

In fact, it was also a kind of insight after helplessness, because he realized the meaning of comparing people with others and throwing away goods.Taking his teacher's daughter Fanny Sis as an example, this pastor was someone he could never surpass in his life.

"If there is a situation, be more vigilant." Jason felt that the temperature of the air was gradually decreasing. He immediately opened his eyes and looked around with vigilance.

A faint stench began to penetrate their nostrils, and both of them understood that there must be an evil spirit lurking nearby.

The temperature dropped even more, and the stench became stronger and stronger.

Jason sneered, showing his sharp white teeth: "These evil spirits will come sooner or later. They clearly look down on us, hehe."

He suddenly stepped forward, sending out sharp thrusts. At the same time, the long sword in his hand reflected a flaming red halo.

Fire Breathing is activated, the signature breathing method of the Church of the Fire God. The damage caused to evil spirits is second only to the Blazing Sun Breathing Method of the Church of the Sun God.

When his arm was fully extended, plumes of green smoke suddenly burst out from the tip of the sword.He took advantage of the situation and twisted it, the green smoke became thicker, a misty miserable howl sounded, and then several pieces of gray spirit fell down.

Jason is extremely fast, and his swordsmanship is swift and fierce. His moves are impossible to miss, and he can kill an evil spirit with every sword strike.

He moved around the mechanism, constantly killing the evil spirits rushing towards him.

On the other hand, Mara was in a much more embarrassed state. It took her several blows to kill the evil spirit and burst out the spirit flower. Her arm was even attacked by the evil spirit, leaving several black and purple marks.

She felt something unknown passing through her body, and her physical strength was depleted quickly.If Jason hadn't come to her aid, she would have been hurt even more.

Thanks to Jason's super performance, the two repelled the evil spirit's attack.

Afterwards, Jason immediately found a stamina potion and drank it. He also took out a fire potion and a No. [-] holy water and put them in his hand for later use.

After doing all this, he began to calmly collect the loot on the ground.

"Thank you," Marla whispered.

"I don't like being a babysitter for others. You should learn not to hold back your teammates," Jason said calmly. "The most important thing you should do now is to recover your condition, instead of standing there in a daze."

"I", the female knight was a little bitter, but she could only purse her lips and search for available potions in her backpack.

While Jason picked up the spirit flower, he remained vigilant about his surroundings.When he bent down again, he suddenly felt a strong sense of danger rising from the bottom of his heart.

He immediately dodged to the side, and in the process of dodging, he raised his weapon and slashed at the place where he had just bent - that was where the danger came from.

A black shadow quickly rose into the air, dodging the sword that was slashing and shining with red light.

Jason saw what appeared to be an evil spirit wearing black clothes and a black hood floating in the air.

His pupils shrank and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

Evil spirits that can be directly observed with the naked eye are very difficult to deal with, at least the second-level evil spirits. Their clothes are actually condensed from the power of evil and have strong elemental resistance.

He took a few steps back and returned to the floor where the mechanism was placed.Jason felt that with the appearance of the black shadow, the surrounding temperature dropped again, and the strong stench filled the hall again.

The pressure brought by one dark shadow evil spirit on him was stronger than the pressure brought by so many evil spirits just now.

Maybe, all the evil spirits in the castle have come. Mara unconsciously leaned closer to Jason, and her spiritual sense sensed that more evil spirits were coming from all directions than before. She held the sword The fingers were faintly white from exertion.

"Be prepared to fight hard." Jason raised his long sword, and the light of the flames shone, reflecting his cold eyes.

He calmly drank the fire potion and then drank the holy water, leaving half of it in his mouth.

"Jie Jie"

There was a ferocious laughter, and the black shadow's head twitched slightly, waving its sleeves, and evil spirits rushed up one after another.

When Mara and the two were dealing with attacks from evil spirits in turn, another gray shadow appeared, floating behind the black shadow.

Seeing all this, Jason felt bitter in his heart. The large number of low-level evil spirits had already overwhelmed the two of them, and with the two powerful evil spirits eyeing them, he really had no confidence in holding on.

If he had a teammate with similar strength to fight alongside him, he would have the confidence to resist so many evil spirits.Even if you are defeated, you can still retreat calmly.

But now the teammates around him are really unappealing, and he estimates that the opponent will soon be unable to hold on.Attacks from evil spirits came from all directions. Facing attacks from up and down, left and right, front and back, he himself was exhausted to deal with them.

Jason sighed in annoyance. His enchanted armor was damaged when his team went on a dangerous mission two months ago. He had to be sent back to the church to wait in line for repairs by the master blacksmith. The leather armor he was wearing now could not protect him from evil spirits at all. defense.

"Get ready to retreat, retreat into the passage and join everyone," Jason shouted, using his secret technique of cutting the wind.

After repelling the swarming attacks of evil spirits, he spat out the holy water in his mouth to relieve Mara's crisis.

Then he immediately picked up the oil lamp and rushed into the passage.

Faced with the threat of death, the female knight also burst out with great speed. She ran into the passage first, and the two of them rushed down the passage quickly.

Facing the fleeing enemies, Black Shadow and Gray Shadow did not pursue them. They walked to the mechanism, the handle was moved by invisible force, and the passage was closed.

When Jason and the two ran down, they suddenly felt that the entire passage began to shake, and gravel and sand continued to fall. Later, the entire stone slab above their heads began to fall.

The two had no choice but to run down harder. When they ran to the door of the room full of dead bones, they heard a muffled "bang".

Jason turned around and saw that the passage had completely collapsed, raising tons of dust.

"It's over, we are buried here." Mara leaned against the wall weakly.

Jason took a deep breath, stepped forward to inspect the collapse, and then turned back. He glanced at the female knight coldly: "Keep running, looking for the large army. The collapsed passage cannot stop the evil spirits. We are not out of danger yet."

After saying that, he picked up the oil lamp and strode away.

. . . .

Nick raised his shield and swatted the red-eyed mouse as big as a swan against the wall.

Crown wielded the star steel sword and cut the rats in half as they pounced fiercely.

"It's a dead end." The priest turned around and looked back. "Retreat and fight again tomorrow."

Just as he finished speaking, there was a shaking in the tunnel, as if there was an earthquake, and a lot of soil fell from the top of the tunnel.

Some team members were unsteady and fell to the side.

Nelson was startled and blurted out: "What's going on?"

"What happened?" Liya held on to the tunnel wall and turned to look at the way she came.

"Go back, immediately," Nick shouted, "Liya, the tail of the team becomes the leader, hurry up."

"Okay, everyone, keep up," Liya responded loudly and began to run forward at a trot.

"Follow up, keep up, hurry up," the priest urged from behind.

When Liya ran back to the big hole that entered the fork, she happened to see Mara and two people back to back, waving their weapons, and two humanoid shadows, one black and one gray, floating at the entrance to the hall.

"Jie Jie"

The black shadow laughed mockingly and disappeared into the dirt of the tunnel.As the black shadow left, the evil spirits left one after another.

"Why are you down?" Liya stepped forward, supported Mara who was about to fall over, and asked anxiously.

At this time, Crown and Nick also ran back to the hall.

When Jason saw the two people coming in, he walked forward breathlessly and said, "We encountered a large number of evil spirits in the hall, including two powerful evil spirit leaders.

In the end, they had to rush down to join the large army. The passage has now collapsed. "

Hearing Jason's words, panic flashed across the faces of the others.

Crown asked: "Is the collapse serious? Is it possible to excavate?"

"Huh", Jason sighed and shook his head: "I have seen it, it is absolutely impossible in a short time. I'm sorry, I couldn't complete the task of guarding."

Nick patted the other party's shoulder and comforted: "There will definitely be people left to guard the passage, and more people will be sent down to investigate. If the person staying up there is me, the outcome will be the same."

The priest turned around and said, "They have lost their backpacks. Crown, give them both a bottle of holy water to replenish their strength."

Crown understood, found two pieces of No. [-] holy water, and handed them to the two of them respectively.

Jason laughed, took the holy water and drank it: "It still tastes the same."

Mara's hand that caught the holy water was shaking a little, but she drank it immediately without hesitation.

Seeing that neither of them reacted abnormally, Nick relaxed his grip on the shackles and said, "Rest in place for 10 minutes, stay vigilant, and be careful of evil spirits.

Nelson, bring everyone's weapons to me one by one, and provide you with the scorching weapon enchantment. "

"Okay," Nelson responded, handing over his weapon first.

The priest muttered a few syllables quickly, and a ray of red light emitted from his fingertips and landed on the opponent's weapon.

Suddenly, the one-handed sword glowed with a faint red glow.

After Nick enchanted everyone's weapons, he drank a bottle of holy water and said: "If I were a third-level priest, I could provide everyone with the enchantment of the Fire Spirit Shield, which would block the attacks of evil spirits. Unfortunately, It will take me a while to advance.”

The priest was not a showy person, but when he said this now, Crown understood the elegant meaning of the song and understood that it was to cheer up the team members.

He immediately said cooperatively: "Father, when you advance, you must treat everyone to a feast at the best tavern in Rhine City."

"Haha, no problem. Let's set off immediately after I take a rest. I want to see what the evil spirits and monsters here can do!"
