Soul echo

Chapter 319 Hard Break

Although Zhong Ye's stealth skills are good, but now his weight is as high as more than 200 kilograms, which is almost the same as that of a male adult tiger. Unlike tigers, he does not have any special organs for stealth - and he also carries a Lilian.

Therefore, they were discovered by the guards waiting near the exit without approaching the exit of the 'passage'.

The heartbeats of those people quickened, and they didn't expect to see it, so Zhong Ye slowly pulled out the straight knife.

The other hand was put behind the back, squeezed Lilian's wrist, and then pressed the light saber hilt.

Lilian quickly understood what Zhong Ye wanted to say, let go of the hand that was holding the hem of her clothes, and pressed the hilt of the sword. She never stopped, and walked slowly according to the previous pace.

A glimmer of light lit up in front of her, and Lilian narrowed her eyes slightly to get used to the light.

Then, she saw Zhong Ye raised his hand and made a gesture.

——I am in front of you.

Lilian nodded. Although Zhong Ye didn't look back, she knew that Zhong Ye must know her answer.

The next moment, Zhong Ye propped up the soles of his feet and rubbed against the ground, making an obvious sound.

After the sound sounded, Lilian burst out with the strength of her legs and rushed out together with Zhong Ye.

But Zhong Ye's footwork was superb, and he rushed out of the cave a full second faster than Lilian.

In an instant, the sword threatened me!
Zhong Ye instantly returned his hand and pulled out half of the long knife on his back. He held the sharp blade cut from the top of his head, and let the straight knife lie horizontally in front of him to block the long sword's stabbing.

The footsteps turned, and the sharp blades rubbed violently, bursting out countless sparks.

With the help of this fleeting faint flame, the people ambushing at the entrance of the cave saw Zhong Ye's stern and indifferent expression, and their hearts immediately tightened.

The tip of the sword touching the edge of the straight knife was slid to one side, and the big knife resting on the long knife also bounced upwards. Zhong Ye turned around and threw his leg, kicking the last guard away—his blade still failed to land in the end. On Zhong Ye.

At this time, Lilian also ran out of the cave, and the light sword passed through Zhong Ye's armpit like a stream of light, and stabbed at the guard whose weapon had been bounced.

Her footsteps were completely covered by Zhong Ye's footsteps, these guards didn't even know there was a 'second person'!
When the guard saw the cold light shining on the blade, it was too late to make any other movements, and his throat was directly pierced, his scream was blocked by the gushing blood, and he couldn't blurt it out.

Zhong Ye turned around at the right time, facing another guard, but before that, Lilian reached out and hooked his shoulder, and was led by him to turn to the front.

Seeing that his own death was approaching, the guard with the long sword had dilated pupils, and took a deep breath hastily, but a boot magnified rapidly in his eyes, and he could only watch helplessly as the boot kicked his neck.

After Lilian kicked, before the guard's body flew upside down, Zhong Ye swung his knife and chopped off his head, making him unable to make any sound anymore.

When Lilian landed, she pulled out the hand crossbow and pulled the trigger on the last guard.

With a sound of "咻", the guard's neck was directly pierced.

Lilian shook off the blood on the blade, sheathed the sword, and raised her trembling arm to wind the crossbow.

She was so nervous that her heart was about to jump out of her throat. If there was a slight mistake in the series of cooperation just now, all previous efforts would be wasted.

Before that, she and Zhong Ye had no communication at all, and all of this was accomplished by tacit understanding.

After the nervousness was over, Lilian only had excitement in her heart—now she is finally qualified to fight side by side with Zhong Ye!

After stringing the hand crossbow and hanging it back to her waist, Lilian raised her head and looked forward.

Faintly glowing moss clings to the cave walls, illuminating the subterranean world.

It's just different from what she saw on the forum, this underground world is not as wide as the one between Skupi and Serdica, and it can even be said to be narrow.

Moreover, the light emitted by the moss is also very different. The shimmering moss on Yitruul's side is blue, while the moss on this side emits a light similar to sunlight.

"This place is not natural."

After completing the investigation and getting all the information he wanted to know, Zhong Ye looked at the cave and said, "This place looks more like it was dug out by some kind of monster. Until now, there are still some traces on the cave wall."

Not only the cave right now, but also the cave that Zhong Ye and the others came to, probably all dug out by some kind of monster.

The cave is about eight meters high, has an irregular oval shape, and has an area of ​​about [-] square meters. Apart from the cave behind them, there are two openings around the cave, which lead to nowhere.

Right now, there is no one else in the cave where Zhong Ye and the others are except for the three dead guards, but judging by their attitude of wanting to sound a warning just now, their companions may not be far from here.

The cave here is flat, and there is nothing convenient for defense and guarding. If Zhong Ye were the leader of the cult, he would choose to arrange only a few guards here to watch and warn.

After all, if someone really wants to attack, they don't necessarily need to enter through the hole. They can make a hole from the side, bypass the frontal defense, and play an internal bloom.

Now there are two roads in front of Zhong Ye and the others. Looking at the two cave entrances, Zhong Ye turned to Lilian and asked, "Choose one?"

"Shall I choose?" Lilian was slightly surprised.

Zhong Ye smiled and said, "It's the same anyway."

Lilian nodded half-understood, "Then...to the left!"

Zhong Ye immediately stepped forward and led Lilian to the left hole.

Passing through the entrance of the cave, another cave appeared in front of them, but it was different from the cave outside. Not only was this cave straight, but the cave walls were also covered with glowing moss.

"These moss... did they grow it themselves?"

If these moss were planted by those cultists, how many years have they lived here?

The moss spread all the way to the distance, because it was too dense, making this passage look as bright as day.

I don't know how these mosses glow, and how they can emit such bright light underground.

"I don't know, maybe it's them, or maybe it's the group of vampires that might exist."

Until now, they have not been able to determine whether vampires exist, they can only find corresponding traces, which cannot 100% prove that there are indeed vampires in the Bourges area.

If there are vampires, will they be 'burned' by these lights?
"there's noise."

After walking forward for a while, Zhong Ye reminded him.

Hearing this, Lilian subconsciously closed her mouth tightly, stopped communicating with the audience, and focused all her attention on the front.

The front is the end of the passage. Standing here, they can already vaguely see a wider space behind the exit.

Holding his breath and concentrating, he turned back and took out the crossbow, then looked at Zhong Ye.

Zhong Ye also pulled out the long knife, carried it on his shoulder, and gradually quickened his pace.

Seeing this, Lilian hurriedly followed.

There was no one guarding the exit, and the cave was full of voices. Zhong Ye and Lilian walked out of the passage quickly, and a village appeared in front of them.

Except for the absence of fences, a settlement that is no different from the outside villages fills this wide underground cave.

"Are you the bandits who robbed the road?!"

Standing at the entrance of the cave, Zhong Ye roared like a rage.

Hearing this, Lilian also pretended to be angry.

If they were directly asked whether they were 'cultists', they would most likely not admit it, but if they pretended to be adventurers who came to eradicate bandits, they might admit it.

The facts were just as Zhong Ye thought, after a moment of panic, the people gathered in the street ran back home one after another, and ran out again carrying a weapon, rushing towards Zhong Ye and the others.

This group of people kept silent, their eyes full of fierceness and killing intent.

"I ask you, are you the bandits who robbed the road?!"

Before the group of guys rushed to him, Zhong Ye let out another shout.

However, none of them answered.

Taking a breath, Zhong Ye swung his long knife, and directly split the first person who rushed in front of him in half.

"One last time I ask you--

"Aren't you?!"
