Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Alger, keep an eye on him." Channing Layton said: "This man didn't panic at all when he saw the dark minions. It doesn't look like he was exposed to magical creatures for the first time."

"Uncle, do you suspect that he is in league with the black witch?"

"It is possible." Channing Layton said: "You said earlier that before the Black Witch launched an attack on the pirate ship, he jumped off the ship. I think he did not commit suicide, but to avoid the Black Witch's attack. Maybe It was he who led the black witch to attack.”

Channing Layton's explanation made Alger think it made sense.

"You approach him with this thing." Channing Layton gave Alger a ring with a spiritual stone inlaid on it: "If he is a psychic himself, the stone on this ring will light up. .”

"Well, I understand."

This was not the first time that Alger used this ring to test others, so he was quite familiar with it.

Alger pretended to be nothing, and casually walked to Chen Zhao's side, his hands hidden in his pants pockets.

However, he didn't see that the pocket of his pants lit up for a moment, but the light quickly disappeared.

Spirit Stone Wood can indeed test other people's magic power, but if the magic power exceeds the upper limit, it will self-destruct, just like an electrical short circuit.

Alger took out his hand and secretly glanced at the ring on his hand.

There was no light, so it seemed he was not a psychic.

Since he is not a psychic, his threat is greatly reduced.

Even if he has something to do with the black witch, it doesn't matter much.

There are many damages along this passage, and these damages are not caused by the erosion of time.

It looked like it had been damaged by something sharp.

Judging from these traces, a battle once took place here.

Or maybe it was massacre.

From time to time, the team will encounter a dark minion.

"It's strange. Is the black witch's mind abnormal? Can these dark minions be released one by one and pose a threat to us?" Channing Layton was full of confusion and turned to look at Zoron and Amy. Rika: "What do you think?"

"I'm also wondering, first of all, how did she know we were in the secret passage."

"Unless we enter the secret passage, she arranged it..." Channing Layton was startled, turned his head suddenly, and looked for the subordinate among his men who fell underground: "It's you! You are a traitor!"

The man suddenly raised his head and looked at Channing Layton, and then at lightning speed, he raised his gun and shot himself in the chin.

"Oops, this is a trap!" Alger was also in a panic: "Let's leave quickly."

"We can't go any further. We are now in the middle of the secret passage. We can only go forward and cannot look back."

At this moment, Chen Zhao suddenly said: "So that's it."

Everyone looked at Chen Zhao: "What are you talking about?"

"Nothing, you continue."

Chen Zhao finally figured out the strange way the corpses interacted with each other at the entrance.

…

At this moment, in the center of the island, the black witch Ava and her men are standing in a huge circular altar.

To the left of the circular altar is a huge lake.

This lake is like a natural sapphire embedded in the center of the island.

"Master, the people of the Azuri family and the Leighton family have entered the secret passage as planned." A woman in black came to Ava and said.

"Well, then go according to plan." Ava said calmly.

Adam stood silently beside Ava.

He didn't know Ava's plan before.

But gradually, he knew.

I am afraid that the Alsuri family and the Layton family would never dream of it.

They found out about their mother's whereabouts, which was completely leaked out intentionally by their own mother.

The purpose is to hit them hard.

In fact, this is a very simple little strategy.

But the effect was very good.

That is to directly introduce the lake water into the secret passage.

At Ava's command, the barrier between the lake and the exit of the secret passage was immediately opened.

In an instant, the lake water poured into the secret passage.

In addition to the lake water, there were also many minions of darkness that poured into the secret passage.

Minions of darkness can adapt to most environments.

On land, their limbs can run very fast.

They can also swim freely in the water.

It had to be said that even he could not match his mother's vicious methods.

But he was glad that at least he didn't have to be an enemy of his mother.

…

Rumble——

"What's the sound?" Channing Layton asked doubtfully.

At the same time, the airflow in the passage became very unstable, and the airflow blew towards the team in the secret passage.

There was an ominous feeling in everyone's heart.

Chen Zhao had already guessed it.

He found a place where he could grab his hands and grabbed the wall.

"what are you doing?"

"Water is coming towards us." Chen Zhao said.

"What?" Everyone was shocked.

But before they could react, the water was already rushing towards them.

For a time, the entire passage was in chaos.

Chen Zhao figured it out before the incident happened.

The previous dark minions were not there to attack the team, but to find out the team's location.

If the team enters the secret passage too short a distance, they will have the opportunity to exit the secret passage.

So you have to figure out where the team is.

Along the way, Chen Zhao found that this place was too clean.

Think again of the skeletons in that deep pit when you came in.

They were not thrown down from above; they were within the passage during their lifetime.

Then someone released water and washed him into the deep pit.

At this moment, something stuck on Chen Zhao's face.

Chen Zhao stretched out his hand and pulled it off, and it turned out to be a dark minion.

This black witch is really thoughtful.

Simply letting the lake water flow into the secret passage would be enough to put them in danger.

There are also dark minions mixed in the water.

However, Chen Zhao discovered that Channing Layton and others were not completely waiting to die.

They actually carry portable respirators with them.

And their weapons can be used freely in water.

Of course, at least half of the people were washed away the moment the lake water rushed over.

The backpacks carried on the backs of these people can actually emit strong air currents to push them forward.

"These people's equipment is really sophisticated." Chen Zhao thought to himself.

Channing Layton looked back and saw Chen Zhao holding on to the wall.

However, he obviously had no intention of lending a helping hand. In his opinion, Chen Zhao was bound to die.

There is no underwater propeller or portable breathing apparatus. There is no need for these dark minions. The lake water alone can kill him.

So he didn't take any further care and rushed ahead.

Chen Zhao saw that those who had reacted had already left, and Chen Zhao also began to swim forward.

Although the water flowing into the secret passage was very fast, Chen Zhao still swam at a relatively fast speed.
