Chapter 388: Life and Death
This sound was not caused by Alice hitting the stone sculpture.
Instead, after passing through the stone sculpture, his arm hit an unknown creature with a muffled sound.
As for what this unknown creature is, Alice can't tell in the dim space.
She injected part of her magic power into Bai Wushuang on her left hand, and the golden lion magic pattern on the white glove emitted a faint golden light...
This kind of magic power is not enough to summon the Lion Shield. However, it can produce the simplest lighting effect.
With light, even if the brightness of the light is not strong, Alice can capture the surrounding scenes through keen vision.
Through the golden light, the little blond witch focused her gaze on the unknown creature she accidentally bumped into——
This is really a big guy. It looks like a huge mouse, but the way it stands is different from an ordinary mouse.
It lifts its two front paws and touches the ground with only a pair of hind feet to control the balance of its body and walk on two legs like humans.
It is said to be a mouse, but it has an exaggerated mane like a lion, a tail covered with scales like a lizard, and a big belly like a frog. It is many times bigger than an ordinary mouse.
Alice needed to raise her head to see the other person's eyes, which were a pair of black mouse eyes. Alice had just bumped into this big guy's belly.
However, the other party did not seem to be angry because of the sudden attack.
Alice noticed that this rather tall guy, holding a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, looked a bit like a mouse warrior standing there.
Although his eyes were open, and Alice made a lot of noise, this mouse warrior showed no reaction. He stared straight ahead with his eyes, and the beard around his mouth did not even tremble, like a stuffed toy.
Not moving at all.
However, Alice could tell from the slight rise and fall of the mouse warrior's chest and the subtle and even breathing that this was not a stuffed toy, but a real mouse warrior.
But then again, did this samurai really not notice him?
Alice frowned in confusion, and took a cautious step back. She found that she was actually installed on a copper door, but fortunately she didn't make too much noise.
"Wuhuhu... Wuhuhuhu..." At this moment, the big man suddenly moved. The mouse warrior's beard trembled twice, opened his mouth, and snored.
What a strange purring sound, Alice thought.
Since it is certain that the mouse warrior is asleep, Alice will certainly not wake it up at will. Maybe this big guy is the guardian beast guarding this space. If she accidentally wakes it up, Alice can imagine that she will be
A scene of a big rat warrior chasing around.
She didn't want to get into trouble like this for nothing.
So, the little blond witch held her breath and moved gently to the left... Since the front and back were blocked, she could only choose to pass through from both sides.
The big mouse warrior seemed to have had a good dream. He snored and chewed the air, and made a squeaking sound of satisfaction. He seemed quite satisfied with the food in his dream.
Because of her agility and petite stature, Alice quickly escaped from the gap between the copper door and the mouse warrior.
With the light golden light released by Bai Wushuang in her right hand, Alice observed the surrounding scene while walking into the depths of darkness...
She discovered that this was a huge passage with a lot of debris piled up around it.
Perhaps because of the passage of time, these objects placed randomly on both sides of the passage are also covered with white spider silk, and tiny black spiders are crawling around on the spider silk.
Because it was so quiet, Alice could even hear the spider's eight feet making extremely subtle noises when they stepped on debris...
Because of the layers of spider webs hanging on them, Alice could not see the clear appearance of these debris. She could only judge from the general shape which one was the magic cup, which one was the retro table and chair, and which one was the ancient magic mirror.
, which is a humanoid skeleton...
If you are not careful, you will kick the bones scattered on the ground. The air is filled with the smell of decay, cool and damp.
Although she has not encountered any dangerous monsters so far, Alice does not dare to take it lightly. Judging from Andrea's instructions to herself, there must be a lot of dangers in this place.
They may be lurking in the shadows of a corner, and may launch a fatal attack on Alice at any time.
"Hey, Master...there are two passages on the left and right in front of us, which way should we go?" Wade, who had been silent until now, suddenly asked.
In such a passage where many unknown and divine creatures exist, although the sound is not directly emitted, the Void Wand still subconsciously lowers its voice.
"Which way do you think we should go?"
Alice did not answer directly. After taking a few steps forward, she stopped. While communicating with Wade, she looked at the two dark holes on the left and right.
"If men are on the left and women are on the right, of course they should go to the right." Wade said, "But I'm just saying, if you are unlucky enough to run into some monster, master, you can't blame me!"
"Men on the left and women on the right? Wade, aren't you a boy?" Alice asked curiously, raising her head slightly, she saw a magic word carved above the hole on the left: Life, and a magic word carved on the right: Death.
"When did I become a man!? It just looks like a man. Our wand has no gender, okay?" The Void Wand almost exploded with anger, but because of its status as a master and servant, it still chose to be patient.
Please explain.
"Didn't you see the words written on it? Life or death." Alice touched her chin with her finger, "If I listen to you and go to the death hole - then we give up the life hole like this?"
"Don't be fooled by superficial words, Master."
"You see, there are many people who like to do this, using words to influence the intruder's choice. But often the more intimidating the person is, the easier it is for them to successfully escape."
Wade spoke eloquently. Alice did not speak, but listened attentively, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
"Besides, even if it is really more dangerous to go through the dead hole, the more dangerous it is, the greater the chance of finding better treasures. Risk is directly proportional to profit. If you don't take greater risks, how can you get greater gains?"
The Void Wand opened his mouth to say more, but Alice interrupted the chattering wand, "I understand, if you can find a way to save Abu in the death hole, then even if it's a death hole, it's no big deal. Let's go!"
Alice did not look at the living cave on the left, but turned around and walked in the direction of the dead cave. At this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the shadow of the dead cave, and rushed towards Alice's direction.
!
All this happened suddenly, but Alice had been prepared for it, so she didn't panic.
She dodged the black shadow's attack sideways, and the black shadow passed Alice. The little blond witch grabbed the black shadow with her backhand and took a closer look.
But they discovered that it was actually a lizard with bat wings.
The lizard exuded black mist, and even from a distance, Alice could smell a very pungent odor that was nauseating. It was like the smell of a piece of meat that has been rotting for several months...
..
Even worse.
Alice noticed that after the flying lizard was caught in the air, it did not make any struggle, but trembled and continued to emit black mist, until it finally turned into a pile of ferocious bones.
Alice let go, and the bones in the air lost control and fell to the stone ground. After impact with the ground, they were scattered all over the place.
"This monster has been dead for a long time. It didn't die just now." The Void Wand said firmly.
"Dead a long time ago?" Alice stared at the broken bones of the monster on the ground. No wonder this monster emits a rotten stench. This is somewhat similar to the Screaming Demon Soul. After they die once, they can still survive.
A living being that continues to act.
The Void Wand flew out from Alice's magic sleeve, circled around its owner, and nodded twice: "It seems that there will be many undead monsters in the death hole. They themselves may have died long ago, but because of some
The power of magic continues to guard this place."
"Is there anything I need to pay attention to?" Alice asked quickly. She knew that this trip was full of dangers, but she didn't expect that the opponents would be a group of undead monsters. Maybe there would be existences like the Screaming Demon Souls, or even ones worse than the Screaming Demons.
The demon soul is a more powerful monster.
But now that she's here, Alice has already staked her life, and she will never hesitate to back down just because the opponent she faces is too powerful.
The strength that Alice lacks most is unparalleled courage and unbreakable determination.
"Such undead monsters generally bring mental pollution and can even depress people's will." Wade lowered his voice and quickly answered, "But what can restrain undead monsters is a soul with courage, determination and light."
"The most powerful power comes from yourself. But when you don't have such a strong heart, you can use the power of the sun and thunder—darkness and shadow are afraid of them."
"Understood." Alice nodded slightly, injecting Bai Wushuang's magic power into her right hand to strengthen it, and the golden lion shield was summoned. The lion shield exuded a rich light aura, dispersing the black shadows that filled the surrounding area.
Alice took a step forward with her left foot and stepped into the dark hole marked with the word "death".
When her shoes stepped on the ground at the entrance of the cave, Alice clearly heard a muffled sound, as if something hit the cave wall.
Holding the handle behind the lion's shield firmly with her right hand, Alice moved her other foot into the hole.
The moment he stepped onto the stone cave with his right foot, the originally pitch-black passage suddenly made dozens of tiny sounds in succession. At the same time, both sides of the passage, from near to far, lit up with faint green lights.
of flame.
The lamp holders with green flames are made of animal skulls of different shapes in the forest. The empty eye sockets on the skulls stare forward, and the ferocious mouth opens, revealing teeth as sharp as the tips of knives.
The lamp holder was still wrapped with dense spider webs. Because of its age, the surface of the white spider webs was covered with many fine particles and dust. But for some reason, not even a single spider was seen.
The dark green flame lit up the dark passage. However, Alice did not take back her lion shield. The Void Wand was suspended beside Alice, walking side by side with her master.
Now no one will be able to discover its true identity, so Wade breathed a sigh of relief. He no longer talked to Alice telepathically, but directly made a voice: "Ha, I can finally speak freely.
Just say whatever you want - it’s been really hard to hold back during this period, and it’s not easy to hide your identity.”
"It's not easy, but it's your own choice." Alice said, "Although you can talk, this is not the best time to chat, Wade."
"Of course I know this! I don't know how many years it will take to wait for the right time. Master, if you can become stronger sooner, I won't have to be so aggrieved -"
Wand began to look forward to his future, "When the time comes, everyone will show expressions of wonder when they see me, and they will praise and praise me with clumsy mouths!"
"As the holder, you can also be worshiped by thousands of people...ah, what a sight!" Wade was already completely intoxicated in his own imagination.
"I don't envision that kind of future at all, Wade." Alice had no intention of conforming to this narcissistic wand, "If you can concentrate more, we can get through this difficulty more smoothly."
As she spoke, Alice remained on high alert.
If possible, she hoped that her wand would not be a super talkative person who always liked to talk.
"Don't look at me talking, Alice." Wade seemed to have more to say, "I have been trying to explore the surrounding environment. You can walk forward, but you can't get through. Let's turn around and run back."
?”
Alice's patience had been worn out, and her voice became slightly colder, "If you want to go back, you go back. Andrea risked being discovered to allow me to enter here. This may be the first and last time."
One chance, I can't let my friend down and let her take such a risk in vain."
"Andrea also said that you are not allowed to go too deep." Wade did not agree with the master's idea, "Too much emphasis on these will cost you your life!"
"I won't go too deep," Alice said, not wanting to have a conflict with Wade in this situation. "You know now is not the time to quarrel."
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew through the passage. The cold wind blew the green flame to one side. The flame struggled and swayed violently, as if it would be extinguished at any time in the cold strong wind!
Alice placed the lion's buckler, which exuded golden light, in front of her body to resist the cold wind.
Wade stopped pestering Alice and continued the topic, "A strong smell of monsters is at the other end of the passage!"
Chapter completed!
