Black Scepter Chapter 17: Attack, arrow in the dark (5,000 words tomorrow)
>Alantis.
Darkness and the sky are four words 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 is day and night outside. According to Sunderland’s calculations, the dome of this underground world is at a distance from the surface There is a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers, not to mention the ground where the pedestrians are located at the moment.
Walking on the ancient stone road, Morpheus in the dim light of the wand is like crossing the ancient Sycamore Empire hundreds of years ago.
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 irresponsible confession made him even more troubled. ♀The scepter made Morpheus enough to command almost any dark creature, but the price it paid was Morpheus.
At the moment, Sunderland, who is looking for "truth", does not know that the ultimate goal he is looking for is behind him. Morpheus follows this big Archmage, glancing around, every step is cautiously abnormal.
The accompanying mages will even release reconnaissance every three steps.
"Arantis, 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 may be the blood elders in the ruling class. "
From the beginning to the end, Sunderland didn't point the wand's light across the sky or above his shoulders. After stopping, he first released a "constant dark enchantment" and then used his superb elemental control In front of Morpheus, all the maps of the area currently explored were constructed with ice crystals, "We should be in the residential area where the "civilian" is located. The Kleinman family has a strict hierarchy. In the heyday, in addition to thousands of family members, it was nearly ten thousand other. The dark race provides refuge and enslaves and enslaves a horrible number of dark creatures."
He drew several directions around the building where the ice crystals condense, continuing: "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 maximum range of lighting Search, but it’s prudent to look for insurance step by step."
Morpheus no objection, nodded, turned and asked the family magician: "What is the result of reconnaissance?"
"At present, this is a dead city, but there seems to be some below us--"
Ron, the head of the family mage, hasn’t finished answering yet, and the whole ground suddenly shook!
"Boom!"
The muffled sound echoed in the huge space, deafening.
Morpheus immediately lowered his body, looked back, and Hydera, who was behind the team, stared at the gleaming giant snake eye alert, but there was no extra action, Sphinx did not call, which means it also did not know what happened.
"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 a continuous shock of ten seconds, the surroundings of the pedestrian suddenly calmed down, as if no one has moved for 100 years. None of the shops, one by one, collapsed, the smoke was dispersed, and the Morpheus line that was ready for battle was highly alert. The swordsmen standing on the outermost side 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 anyone else’s warning-so the next moment, with Sunderland and Morpheus, the team saw this gesture after Immediately ran to the wall next to it, the light of the wand was extinguished, and the seventeen people all held their breath!
Because they feel the sound of the sky from the sky at the same time-countless vampire bats Morpheus no stranger whistling past, the sound of the collision of the wings alone makes the scalp tingling, and the large bat group is just from a group It took almost a minute to fly above.
This shows that the number of vampire bats exceeds 100,000.
Quantitative change is enough to constitute qualitative change. Although there are these 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 theoretical, and died in history There are countless Archmages for low-level professionals, and equal-level suppression does not mean invincibility. Morpheus understands that this group of bats seems to be just an appetizer for this strange underground world.
"Proceed forward, be alert at any time, the constant enchantment of elements overlaps and releases, no need to save emergency scrolls, the swordsman team maximizes defense."
After several commands in Morpheus, the team continued to move forward. High-level swordsmen no longer used long swords, but replaced with spare metal shields, but the teams that escaped the disaster and entered the civilian area were full. It is another area of tall buildings.
It looks like the opera house and arena that Byzantine nobles often go to. It is still a quiet and empty environment. When it’s too late to figure out where it is, Hydera, who has been behind the team, suddenly has Opened his wings and made an unpredictable hiss!
This unexpected situation made the party very surprised and countless elements condensed. If it is not Morpheus reaching 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 Hyde La's master, Morpheus and Hydera have certain telepathic communication methods, but at this moment Morpheus cannot judge Hydera's emotions.
He can only see that the giant snake seems to be excited because of something, the tail that does not normally move swaying gently, the body curled up together, looking up at the surroundings, raising his wings. The dust around it looked a bit crazy like uncontrollable.
It's definitely not a happy thing-Morpheus reached out and tried to control this suddenly mad giant snake, but found that Hydera couldn't be obedient like before, his eyes immediately looked around and made The gesture of preparing for battle, and then ran to Hydera quickly!
He needs to control the beast face to face and bring it to trouble, Morpheus can't help but have serious consequences caused by mistakes that shouldn't happen.
But just before I ran out a few steps, the ground started shaking again!
"His--"
Hydra suddenly raised a huge snake body and flapped its wings towards the sky. The violent air flow caused the running Morpheus to resist the advance because of the elemental air waves carried by the wings. Then it turned out Fly straight towards the sky in front of Morpheus!
This giant snake that followed Morpheus for a long time completely lost control and disappeared into darkness almost instantly.
The vibration of the ground is still continuing. Morpheus is low on his body. The sand and dust raised by Hydera around him prevents him from opening his eyes to pursue the figure of the snake. When the smoke disappears and the vibration stops, he has no idea of Hydera. Where did I go.
"Bah!"
Morpheus spit and ate 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 Lose contact with yourself.
The scepter of Sulfuras has failed?
The palm of Morpheus stretched out involuntarily toward the package on the back, but suddenly swiftly touched at the moment of touch. 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 is more calm at this time. First, he waved his hands and released a large-scale magical reconnaissance technique, followed by a "cleansing technique" to remove the smell and traces left by Hydera here, and then It was while the reconnaissance technique was in effect that he suddenly raised his wand and pointed to the huge building aside-"Someone inside."
The sound is steady, without any excitement or panic. This mage’s range of reconnaissance is much larger than that of the other five mage, and almost immediately noticed the abnormity nearby, and the voice just fell, and the family guards of more than ten behind him instantly The formation of the battle formation surrounded Morpheus.
This is the power of the family guard-everything is centered on the safety of Morpheus, which is their unshirkable mission.
"Go forward."
Morpheus waved hands to make tactical gestures, the whole team took the high-level swordsman as the pioneer, and quickly entered the huge building with the size of the Byzantine Constantinople arena in the field of view. The huge structure of the ring makes everyone understand that this is In an ancient Siga-style arena, people with limited vision due to darkness saw a wide sandy land at the end of the passage, which seemed to be the place where gladiators competed ~ IndoMTL.com ~ The carved fences were mostly **** The scene of the duel is the theme, simple and revealing the original barbarism.
While crossing the passage and just seeing the open arena, a spark broke the silence.
"Boo!"
When everyone didn’t have time to react, a metal collision made the swordsman in the front row swiftly lift the shield instinctively to take cover. Morpheus squatted down, and the wand in his hand pointed in the direction of the sound source immediately—— 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 you see the source of the sound Afterwards, the group of people was tense.
The pure metal shield in the hands of a high-ranking swordsman has an additional feather arrow.
The shields placed on the hands of the family guards are not cheap goods used by ordinary soldiers on the battlefield. This kind of fine iron tower shield that can resist most arrows is extremely heavy, and can only be used in the hands of powerful swordsmen. Although this feather arrow's quasi-head is not very good, the arrow that deeply penetrated the shield tells everyone that its power is absolutely not bad!
It looks like someone in this seemingly sleepy city has been woken up.
