Elf Story from Another World

Chapter 18

Nasha opened her eyes and saw two mice standing in front of her face, looking at her curiously, but when they saw her blood-red eyes, they barked twice and ran away.

She blinked her eyes and looked up. This was the rock wall that could only be seen in the cave. It was scattered with luminous fluorescent stones, making the cave appear blue.

Suddenly, there was the sound of knocking stones next to her, and a moment later, the warm firelight hit her face.

"We are so lucky." Ouyue's voice suddenly came over: "I never thought there would be such a place right under this cliff."

This is a cave. Not far in front of them is an empty water tank. Seawater from outside is constantly pouring in. Gaps leak out from time to time at the entrance of the cave as the water level decreases. It is estimated that this is the place that supplies oxygen to the place.

Nasha sat up with support, looked at the fire in front of her, and tilted her head: "Where did you get the wood and flint?"

Ouyue was sitting in front of the fire to warm herself up, hoping to dry her clothes by doing so.

"There." Ouyue pointed: "I broke off two wooden boards and brought them down."

Nasha was stunned. She looked where he pointed. Not far away, there were dozens of various ship corpses. They collided with each other and turned into a large piece of ruins composed of wood.

"I rummaged through it and found flint and steel." Ouyue raised the stone in his hand: "The planks of several ships behind were completely dry, so I broke off a few pieces. "

Nasha didn't say anything. She saw other things in the cave.

They were human corpses. Some of them were sitting by the wall, and some were simply caught in the wreckage of the ship. Each one looked more miserable than the last. Some had only bones left, and others were soaked and swollen, with insects crawling on them and eating the body.

"I was scared to death by these things when I first came up." Ou Yue shivered when she looked at them: "But you just get used to it."

Ou Yue watched Nasha stare at these corpses in a daze, thinking that she might not be afraid of these things.

The next second he knew he was wrong. Nasha opened her mouth, and red blood mist suddenly emerged from the corpses with only some flesh remaining, and all the gas entered her mouth.

"Uh-huh." Ouyue shuddered as she watched those corpses turn into mummies in an instant.

"I'm suffering from a lack of blood in my body right now." Nasha frowned. It seemed that those things were not delicious: "I can't even maintain my body temperature when I'm suffering from a lack of food."

"What did you do? Why did I see you didn't even touch those corpses?" Ouyue looked at her plundering method that could be said to be domineering, and couldn't help but feel that the corpses were nothing compared to the guy in front of her.

"This kind of vampire can basically deal with magic, but it can be easily resisted, so it can basically only be used on corpses." Nasha held the mouse that ran in front of her with one hand, and casually popped its head off: "Like Like me, even mice have to be killed before they can suck blood in that way.”

After saying that, she opened her mouth slightly and sucked off the poor little mouse.

"Then why didn't you kill me when you sucked my blood?" Ouyue couldn't help feeling a chill in her body.

"Because you can't taste blood like this. Wouldn't it be a waste to use something as delicious as your blood in this way?" Nasha made a face at him.

But Ouyue didn't think this expression was cute at all. After all, the faces a vampire makes are not just pretending, they are showing his true self.

"How did you catch me up?" Nasha blinked and asked curiously.

"You hugged my waist when I fell, so I just need to be able to climb up." Oyue took out a sharp stone and walked to the tank filled with sea water.

"What are you going to do?" Nasha stood up and looked at the surrounding walls, as if looking for a way out.

"You're full, I have to eat too." Ouyue said helplessly: "Elves eat small meals often, so I get hungry very quickly."

He bent down and scraped the stone on the edge of the sink with grouper: "You can eat algae after it's roasted, at least that's the case with the algae in my hometown."

Ouyue worked like this for a while, then cut off part of the sleeves of his jacket and made a bag, which was filled with algae.

Then spread them flat on the ground and watch them slowly dry.

"How are we going to get out?" Ou Yue turned over the algae on the rocks and asked Nasha, "This is not the way we can do it."

"As long as we are within a kilometer radius of my dad, we can't lose it." Nasha warmed herself by the fire and looked unworried: "I guess she won't know that we lost her yet, so just wait."

She moved so that she could be closer to Ouyue, and then moved again until she was next to him.

Ouyue swallowed and was too embarrassed to move in the opposite direction to distance himself, so he asked: "What are you doing?"

"You smell very good." Nasha came close to his face and sniffed: "Can I drink some of your blood?"

"Don't be ridiculous, if you faint here, I won't be able to save you." Ou Yue was a little stiff with fear, then turned over the seaweed: "If you are still hungry, you can eat some of this."

"I'll just eat the rat." Nasha held the rat with only its mummy left in her hand and put it into the fire. The flames licked her hands, but the delicate-looking hands were unharmed.

"I really envy you races with high physical strength." Ouyue looked at the hand and sighed: "If I put my hand in, I would probably be cooked like a mouse."

After the seaweed was cooked, Oyue ate part of it and put the rest in a bag.

At this moment, Nasha was looking through the corpses to see if there was any blood left that could be sucked.

"Biscuit, come here and take a look." Suddenly, Nasha shouted to Ouyue.

"Can you please stop calling me biscuit?" Ou Yue followed and said helplessly: "I feel very insecure when I say this."

Aoyue came to Nasha's side and followed her gaze.

Behind the wreckage is a passage. The shipwreck did not block the sea water tightly, and some water still seeped through the gaps.

"I saw it just now, what's the matter?" Ouyue looked at Nasha, and suddenly a bad feeling arose in her heart.

"Then why didn't you tell me?" Nasha looked at him, actually a bit reproachful.

"I'll tell you why I'm telling you this." Ouyue was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his face twitched.

"You don't want to go in and have a look. Come on, just wait here for your dad to save us." Ouyue looked at the dark tunnel with no end and couldn't help but panic.

"That's so boring." Nasha broke off two fluorescent stones from the wall and threw one to Oyue: "I plan to go in and have a look, do you want to follow?"

"You are just looking for excitement when you have nothing to do." Ao Yue was a bit timid.

My impression is that it is surrounded by corpses and sunken ships that have been there for who knows how many years. No matter how you look at it, this is not a place similar to a park. It is a place where you can come and leave as you please.

It was an accident and misfortune that they came here. In this case, they should just wait for rescue.

Therefore, it is natural to stay as far away from a place that seems dangerous at first glance.

But before Oyue could finish her words, she saw Nasha jumping down alone, making a crisp landing sound when she stepped into the flowing pit.

"At least wait until I finish." Ouyue turned over helplessly.

But his landing was far from as calm as Nasha's. The ground was not flat, but something like mud. It smelled bad, and it was so slippery that he couldn't stand when he was soaked in sea water.

"You're here too." Nasha turned back and smiled at him: "Are you also curious about what's inside?"

"How can you say that?" Ouyue said with a grimace: "You are already down. It would be inappropriate if I didn't follow you."

"I don't understand." Nasha shrugged: "Why do you have to follow me when I come down?"

"If you encounter any danger, although I can't help you, I can help you no matter what." Ouyue said helplessly: "Two are better than one. Your father never told you Is this true?"

"No, he only told me that if I know that a fool is going to die, it's best not to follow him." Nasha raised the fluorescent stone in her hand and lit up the road ahead.

Bodies can already be seen on both sides of the road, and they are obviously corpses that died in the battle. Most of the bones were broken by some kind of hard object, and bone residue can be seen everywhere.

Ouyue looked at those bones, some of them a little timid.

He was not like Nasha who had been exposed to such things since he was a child. The only corpse he had ever seen was when the previous generation village chief had died and was buried under a tree and returned to nature. Other than that, I haven't seen him since.

Ouyue took two steps forward. At this time, it felt safer to stay closer to Nasha. Although he is a vampire, this guy is not hostile to him. Who knows what could suddenly appear in a place like this.

Every step he took made a little splash, and his shoes sank directly into the black mud. The siltation under his feet covered his shoes with black goo. Fortunately, he is now wearing cloth shoes that fit his feet. These shoes are very strong and difficult to take off.

I don’t know if this kind of mud is poisonous, but a pair of shoes is better than nothing.

"It looks like he was beaten to death with a hammer or something like that." Nasha looked at the bones, blinking her eyes and turning her head back and forth.

Suddenly she knelt down, put her hand directly into the black mud, and pulled out a short sword from inside.

"This one can be used for a while." Nasha looked at the dagger in her hand. For her age, the dagger was no different from a long sword. It was a little difficult for her little hands to even hold the hilt and look at it.

This dagger has been soaked in the mud for who knows how long. Although there are rust spots on it, there is still no large area of ​​rust. Judging from the lines on it, it should be a passable weapon, at least a rust-resistant weapon, probably not much different.

Nasha waved twice and shook off the mud on it: "Do you want a handful? It's all over the place."

Ouyue nodded, then bent down, and after searching carefully, she found a similar thing.

"Although I don't know how to use it, I think it's safer to hold one." He looked at the dagger in his hand. It was obviously not as easy as Nasha to swing it, and he was almost knocked down.

Seeing him like this, Nasha couldn't help but smile: "You'd better find a shield or something like that."

"You have to learn in the future anyway, so I'll take this opportunity to practice my skills first." Ou Yue scratched her head, looking a little ashamed of herself for being so useless.

Nasha shrugged: "It's up to you."

After saying that, she continued to walk over. Oyue jogged a few steps and walked to Nasha: "What do you think is inside?"

"I don't know, but I feel that there is a lot of blood." Nasha moved her nose: "There is not enough left in those corpses. I need to replenish it as soon as possible, otherwise I will be weak and die."

Ou Yue looked inside and suddenly thought of something. He took two deep breaths and gently pressed his forehead with one hand. Under the white cloth, the black patterns seemed to come alive and spread in all directions.

"Why is there so much dark element inside?" He raised his head and looked inside: "It doesn't make sense."

"What's wrong?" Nasha asked curiously, seeing him like this.

"There should be something inside." Ou Yue said while looking inside.

"That means we came to the right place this time." Nasha looked a little happy, and she smiled happily.

"But no matter how you think about it, it won't be a safe place inside." Ouyue thought for a while, and the corners of her mouth twitched: "The blood is strong, and the dark elements are strong. No matter how you think about it, it is not a good place."

"Never mind it." Nasha didn't seem to care: "Anyway, my dad will probably be here soon, so he'll just have to run away."

After she finished saying this, the sound of metal collision suddenly came from deep in the tunnel.

The two little guys were startled at the same time and looked ahead.

But the two guys were thinking about completely different things at this time. Nasha is more curious, and Ouyue is more timid.

The sound became more and more obvious. It was footsteps, and they were obviously walking this way. You can hear the sound of metal plates colliding with each other without taking a step, which is similar to the sound of armor.

"Let's run." Ou Yue suggested, subconsciously taking a step back.

"What's the rush?" Nasha made a face at Oyue: "At least wait until you see what it is before you withdraw."

As she said that, she actually took the initiative to walk up.

Ouyue had no choice but to follow her forward.

There are more and more corpses on the ground, all with only bones left. The composition of this mud is almost clear. It is probably what these soaked corpses look like after combining with soil.

The footsteps suddenly became faster, and the thing seemed to be running.

Ouyue's pupils shrank suddenly. He took a step forward, grabbed Nasha, and pulled her back violently. The two fell into the mud at the same time.

Right where Nasha was standing just now, a huge round metal ball slammed into the ground, causing mud to fly everywhere.

If Oyue had been just one second later, the hammer would have fallen into the mud.
