The Truth of Magic

Chapter 85 The Name of the Abyss

Even though there were no abnormal noises around at the moment, everyone couldn't help but look around, as if something would pop out of some hidden corner at any time.

Seeing those obviously struggling handprints, everyone's face was not very good.

Zhao Xu, who was originally full of confidence, began to worry. This situation, I'm afraid his teammates were a little bit withdrawn.

Compared with the Maple Leaf four who were after money, and Luo Ya and others who were after climbing, what Zhao Xu was after during this trial journey was just adventure.

Antinoya gave him three hole cards, not to let him go all the way back to Mystra, but to let him train himself.

If Zhao Xu went back safely all the way, and finally reported to Antinoya that he had killed a few small thieves and successfully kept three hole cards, then that would be the end of his trial.

So Zhao Xu did not resist the crisis in the adventure. If an ancient black dragon had appeared that night, Zhao Xu would have released Seraphim to fight on the spot without hesitation.

What he wants to avoid is the behavior of being cheated by someone's backhand.

For example, if he entered this pothole and found out that it was a trap for others to kill him, then he would only be laughed at by Antinoya when he returned to Mystra.

Therein lies the question of how to choose.

Avoiding the druids of more than ten levels that day was a small bonus, and scaring away ghosts with praying candles was also a small bonus. Zhao Xu originally hoped that this pothole would continue to give him a small bonus.

It's just that looking at this scene now, I'm afraid this pothole is not just a small bonus.

What are you guys planning? After all, Zhao Xu was not the kind of hard-hearted person who would just sit back and watch his companion die.

If he didn't react in time, the group would be wiped out, and he could only ensure his own safety.

Ah? What's the plan? Warrior Maple Leaf didn't react for a moment.

Are you still going forward? Now there is that line of purgatory language and these blood-red handprints. As long as it is related to the abyss hell, none of it is simple. Zhao Xu said in a low voice.

Even the group of high-end players who entered Arthur in the first year of the battle of sealing demons that lasted for several years in the previous life did not die.

Let's go, everyone is here. Warrior Maple Leaf said, and the other three Yoyo also nodded.

Seeing that they were willing to persist, Roja was also relieved.

Zhao Xu, who had fulfilled his obligation to remind, didn't say anything. He didn't realize it for a while. Maple Leaf and the others estimated that there were still a lot of resurrection stones, so they naturally felt that the expedition was a good deal.

Only when there is only one resurrection stone left in the whole body, the players will know that when the strength is insufficient, the dog is the first element of Arthur.

There are several branch roads in this mining pit. If Zhao Xu and others want to find the deep underground city, they can only start exploring one by one in a clockwise direction.

After seeing the handprint, they basically didn't dare to divide their troops to explore.

However, after everyone was close together and formed a formation and moved forward slowly, they encouraged each other.

After Roja led the team through a narrow path wide enough for two people, they entered a wide hall. In addition to some collapsed cabinets in the corners, there were many gray and damaged beds piled up on the ground.

This hall is estimated to be the dormitory of the miners. The surrounding walls were excavated and piled up neatly, unlike the chaotic rocky path just now.

Mr. two spellcasters, do you have the spell to detect secret doors? Roja asked, looking at a half-closed wooden door.

No. said the poet frog.

The poet hadn't reached level 2 yet, so he couldn't use the first-level arcane Detect Secret Door, and even if he had it, he wouldn't choose this unpopular spell. Because the spells available to poets are as limited as warlocks, they can only be selected carefully.

Detect Secret Door is a spell in the field of knowledge, Zhao Xu knows it, but he didn't expect to come to the dungeon in the morning, and he prepared Fate Watch, if he really wanted to switch to the spell Detect Secret Door, he You have to use the Versatile Spellcaster feat to consume two zero-level spells to release it.

Go to this room first and have a look, then let's search for secret doors around. Zhao Xu thought for a while, and suggested Luo Yadao.

Hearing this, Roja nodded.

They haven't arrived at their destination yet, it's just the miners' dormitory, and the probability of secret rooms and traps is not high.

But thinking so, when approaching the half-closed door, the few people were still very cautious. Roja carried the heavy steel shield and gently approached the wooden door, resisting the door, and guarding against the impact that erupted inside at any time.

Warrior Maple Leaf was holding a huge sword, ready to open the wooden door.

The warrior Haifeng turned his back to the team, guarding against accidents from behind.

Compared to Yoyo who mainly held the torch to provide lighting, Zhao Xu focused on the room with the one-handed crossbow in his hand.

If it weren't for those handprints, everyone would probably kick the door open at this moment.

Now, of course, I can only treat it as something inside.

Then I opened the door? Maple Leaf reminded everyone, seeing that there was no objection, he gently stabbed the giant sword in his hand forward.

Yeah. One sound.

As the wooden door was pushed open, there was also a heartbeat raised by everyone.

Altar? Roja, who stood at the front, was the first to see the situation in the room, I went in, and you followed closely behind.

After finishing speaking, he carried the shield and walked forward step by step. Maple Leaf and the two rogues followed closely behind, especially Rainbow, who was acting as a police sentinel, focused all his energy on listening skills, constantly monitoring the surroundings. movement.

Sing if something's not right, Zhao Xu instructed the poet in a low voice.

The poet's zero-level spells and archery are of little significance at this time, it is better to sing to give everyone an extra morale boosting buff.

After everyone walked into the room, except for Gale who was still blocking the door to observe the outside, the other people couldn't help being stunned when they saw the details of the room under the light of the torch.

The room next to the miners' dormitory was not big, and there was a collapsed bed in the corner. From the discarded items on the table, it could be seen that this might be the foreman's room.

However, blood-red words were painted on the walls, floor, and ceiling of this room, and all the words eventually pointed to the altar that was empty of sacrifices.

I think we should notify the nearest church and send a pastor here. Yoyo was already trembling, if she hadn't been surrounded by everyone, she couldn't help but escape with fear.

Don't be nervous. Zhao Xu squatted down, holding the oil lamp to observe the Purgatory text on the ground, These things are probably just paint.

In his previous life, he had cooperated with the Priest of the Good God to encircle and suppress some priests of the Priest of the Evil God. He was familiar with such scenes and did not panic at all.

Anyway, they are all flesh and blood, and they will die if they go in with a knife, and there will be troubles with ghosts.

These purgatory texts are all variants of the same name. Yoyo said after taking a breath.

What name? Zhao Xu continued to ask.

Demogorgon.
