Broad World

Chapter 784 Clues

After entering the dark underground tunnel, everyone found that the place was not as dirty or full of rancid smell as they imagined, but was cleaned up, and some places were even planted with some shallow plants that can adapt to the dark environment. Small purple flowers, although it is difficult to distinguish the specific species, but the faint fragrance fills the whole ground.

There is no doubt that the snake people have been cleaning this place, and they have also spent a lot of effort to decorate it very beautifully. Large murals and reliefs are clearly visible, and there is no trace of moss and mushroom invasion.

"It's really strange, these animals don't live in the ground, why do they have to spend so much effort to make it so clean?" Ashley frowned and said to herself.

For adventurers, any abnormalities need to be carefully considered, otherwise they are likely to fall into crisis.

All kinds of conspiracies are brewing on the continent of Faerun all the time, maybe from the demons of the bottomless abyss, maybe from the devils of Bator Hell, maybe from a certain evil god, maybe from a certain evil dragon, maybe from the demons like Evil organizations such as Red Robe Mage, Zhentalin Society, Dracolich Cult, etc.

In this world full of strife, no one is completely safe, if you feel that everything is under control, then be careful, because it may be an illusion created by some terrible enemies to lower your vigilance.

Obviously, Karan is a person who is careful enough, otherwise he would not be able to stand out from countless adventurers, and being able to live past the age of thirty is the best proof. With the help of the light technique blessed on the shield, he carefully observed the surrounding environment, trying to find some useful information.

But it's a pity that with his pitiful level of education, he can't even read a single letter. Those beautiful cursive characters are not a common language at all, but some kind of very ancient script. If you don't use the power of magic, I'm afraid no one will recognize it.

"It's very wrong. I smell a conspiracy. The employer must be hiding something. She probably knew that this place is the territory of the Lizardman tribe..." Dempsey whispered, taking out a clean bandage to wrap around his arm. Wrapping it up, the bandaging was completed in a short time, and the bleeding was finally stopped.

The half-elf poet also tore open his pants to reveal his snow-white thighs, after cleaning the wound. She wrapped a few times with bandages, and she didn't hesitate at all because of the men around her.

To ensure that the wound would not burst again due to intense activity, Ashley finally relaxed her slightly pale and tense face due to excessive blood loss, and then pointed to the murals on the wall and explained: "Don't look, these are all ancient elves. It is impossible for ordinary people to understand the text, and only by using reading magic can they know the meaning. But I didn’t memorize this zero-level spell today, so I really can’t do anything.”

"Well, I always encounter problems at critical moments, and I'm getting used to it. Maybe there will be even bigger troubles waiting for us..." Karan said with a sad face.

Now he finally understands what it means that misfortunes never come singly. First, when he sneaked in, he just encountered a snake man coming out of the cave, and then the poet was unprepared when he needed reading magic the most. It's as if all the bad luck came together, and it's not over until everyone is killed.

"Uncle! Uncle! Come and see this painting!" Liv, who had been in a state of excitement, waved at everyone and shouted loudly.

Now there are only these two little lolis who don't know how dangerous the situation is. They are running around, commenting on the murals and reliefs, and arguing about the stories told above from time to time, completely unaware that the whole team has already In a desperate situation.

Looking at the excited little guys, Karan showed a complicated look in his eyes, and then lowered his voice and said to the teammates next to him: "I regret it now, I shouldn't have brought the two children into it at all. If they If something goes wrong, even if I die, my soul will not be able to rest in peace."

"Don't be discouraged, we can definitely escape, no one will die here, don't forget you still have a beautiful wife to support. The God of Suffering has taught me that the more painful and desperate you are, the more determined you will be Faith, if the moment comes when someone needs to be sacrificed, I think I'm the best choice." As he spoke, Dempsey showed a calm and firm gaze. It seems that death is not terrible to him, but a thing full of glory.

As a monk who believes in the teachings of Irmat, protect the underage children, stand up against evil, and stop all unrighteous atrocities. These are things that must be done as long as you see them, even if you die for them.

Especially the two girls. There must be no surprises. The most unbearable thing for the God of Misery is to see underage children being mutilated. For this reason, he does not hesitate to show an extremely fierce and cruel side. His knights and monks often attack slave traders who smuggle and traffic children , almost never leaving any alive.

Karan is very aware of his teammate's character and beliefs, so he didn't say anything, but just patted the opponent's shoulder lightly when passing by. After so many battles, they have become very tacit understanding , One action or one look is enough to express a thousand words.

After a few steps to the side of the two little lolis, the serious expression on Karan's face was gradually replaced by a smile, and he squatted down and asked, "Tell me, what did you find? Maybe it's an important clue."

Elena pointed to the reliefs on the wall and explained: "We have seen all the carvings and murals just now, and found that they all tell a story. It seems that in ancient times, the elves who lived here discovered the There is a powerful monster hidden, it does all kinds of evil, often attacks the village and devours the residents, so the mages came up with a way, they used a magic ritual to lure this monster underground, and then sealed it completely, the last picture The painting is the true face of the monster, a huge strange snake."

Following the direction of the elf Lolita's finger, Karan saw a huge relief sculpture two meters high and four meters wide. In the center was a snake-like creature with huge wings, especially the spiked head It makes people feel scalp numb after seeing it. Judging from the size of the surrounding elf mages, this monster is at least twelve to fifteen meters long.

"My God, what kind of species is this snake that can grow so big? Could it be right under our feet and still alive?" Karan's voice was trembling when he spoke, he couldn't imagine Once the team encounters such a monster, what will happen? Let alone killing the opponent, the possibility of escaping alive is not high.

"Not sure, but one thing is certain." Liv raised her hands excitedly as she spoke. "We can finally have a great adventure! The evil snake tribe, the lost underground labyrinth, the sealed terrifying monsters, it would be even more perfect if there is a lot of treasure in the end."

"En. Well, come on! We will definitely become heroes that everyone admires." Elena nodded vigorously, and echoed.

Maybe it was the battle just now that made them both feel that the enemy was nothing more than that, and their self-confidence burst instantly, as if the giant snake was just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

However, Karan was not so optimistic. After carefully observing the engraving, he suddenly found that there was a relatively new inscription next to the giant snake, which was obviously not satisfied with the ancient elf language.

"This is text? Can you read it?" He hurriedly turned around and asked everyone.

Ashley, the most educated poet, ran over to take a look, and immediately explained in a low voice: "It's written by the Snakeman, and I can barely understand it. It probably means something like this..."

"Great Marshok, you will definitely wake up from your deep sleep, and your descendants will soon be able to get rid of the seal. When it reappears in this world, those fragile warm-blooded creatures will usher in a catastrophe... ..."

As the last syllable fell, everyone present felt that the situation was not good, because there are not many creatures that can be called disasters, and basically none of them are much worse than adult dragons. It will be stronger.

"Who is Marshok? A demon? A devil? Or some powerful evil dragon?" Karan asked, frowning.

In all these years of his travels, he never seemed to remember anyone mentioning this name, otherwise he would never have no memory at all.

Dempsey, who has some theological foundation, recalled for half a minute. Finally, he shook his head: "Sorry, I haven't heard of it either, and none of the demon lords and devil dukes that need to be noticed is called Marshock."

"Me too." Ashley spread her hands helplessly.

As for the "big bucket" who can't even speak, forget it. Apart from eating and sleeping, he only knows how to fight. He probably doesn't even understand the meaning of this word.

The elf loli blinked her eyes innocently, she knew without asking, she must have never heard of it, but Liv rested her chin and thought hard. At the same time, he muttered to himself: "It's strange... I seem to have seen it in that book... Why can't I remember it all of a sudden..."

Seeing that the important clue in his hand was cut off like this, Karan showed a helpless wry smile on his face. This was not the first time he had suffered from being uneducated, so he quickly adjusted his mentality, just when he wanted to comfort the team members. Suddenly, a large number of snakemen appeared behind him.

Because they have no feet at all, they rely on snake-like bodies to wriggle and move forward. Therefore, without making a sound, he chased after him unconsciously.

"Damn! Run! Don't get entangled, there are too many of them, even if we are tired, they can exhaust us to death."

Without any hesitation, Karan, the leader of the team, immediately issued an order to retreat. Liv slammed a fireball, which slightly hindered the speed of the snake man's pursuit. Eleania also used an explosive arrow to collapse a stone pillar, and then the group hurriedly fled deeper.

Although they all know that there are probably terrible monsters sealed inside, they can only take one step at a time when they have to. As for the result, it can only be left to fate...

At the same time, Tyrantyr, who was far away in the mage tower of Baldur's Gate, looked at the image in the crystal ball, smiled slightly and said, "Interesting, the descendant of the sleeping snake god Marshok Is it? It seems that I have made some preparations, enemies of this level are not enemies they can deal with..."
