The Last Alchemist

Standing in front of the blocked entrance, Rosen was still a little unwilling.

"This place is only about five meters deep from the ground. Perhaps, we can dig out from here." He said.

Using alchemical magic, it is still possible to dig out a passage.

Of course, it will be very hard to do this, but the result is certain. Even if you will face the magician Green and the Earl's guards after reaching the ground, it is safer than staying in the dark underground waterway and facing a group of unknown monsters.

Lilith was a little moved by what she said: "Are you sure?"

"As long as there is enough time, dig it through. Oh, forget it, I'm afraid we don't have time to do this."

Rosen listened to the movement in the tunnel. He found that in addition to the sound of water and wind, there were some additional movements, which were very light, some similar to footsteps, and some similar to heavy breathing.

Recalling the roars from a distance when the high-explosive bomb was used just now. Rosen had every reason to believe that there must be many monsters rushing to the place where he and the water ghosts were fighting. If he stayed there, he might encounter many strange and unheard-of monsters.

Lilith didn't hear the noise, but she was smart. After hearing what Rosen said, she understood it after a little thought: "Then which way should we go?"

There are two choices now. One is to go back in the direction where the water ghosts fought, and the other is to go in the other direction of the corridor.

The advantage of the former is that you know the situation of the road ahead, but the disadvantage is that you are likely to meet the monsters head-on. The advantage of the latter choice is that the probability of meeting monsters will be much smaller, but Rosen has no idea what the situation is ahead, whether it is a dead end or an exit.

After pondering for a few seconds, Rosen made the second choice.

"The sewage flows this way. Even if we can't find the exit, as long as we keep walking along the direction of the water flow, we should eventually reach the Clear Water River, right?"

"It's all up to you." Lilith didn't have a better idea.

Rosen turned on the flashlight and walked deep into the unknown passage.

This time, he learned from his previous lesson. When moving forward, he mobilized the alchemical magic to form a simple gas barrier around the two people's bodies to isolate the smell of the two people.

After walking forward carefully for about 10 minutes, Rosen suddenly felt that Lilith on his back softened and lay down limply, as if she had no breath.

He was shocked: 'Is she dead? '

He hurriedly checked and found that Lilith's breathing and heartbeat were very stable. Rosen then reacted: "I guess she was too tired and fell asleep."

He slowed down his pace, and gently stretched out his hand to straighten Lilith's head that was tilted and swaying on his shoulder. Then he slightly quickened his pace and continued to move forward.

This corridor is straight and long, and it is dark all the way. Rosen walked for a full half an hour, at least seven or eight miles, but he didn't even see an exit to the ground.

"What a ghost! Isn't this an underground sewage pipe? Why can't I see the sewage pipe?"

If there is a sewage pipe, he will find a way to crawl out along the pipe even if he risks being covered in feces and urine. As long as he can get back to the sun, everything will be fine.

There is no other way, he can only keep walking.

After walking for about ten minutes, the corridor in front seemed to turn a right angle. Judging from the reflection of the flashlight and the sound of the airflow, the space behind the bend should be much larger than the corridor.

"Maybe there is a spacious underground space ahead. I hope there is a slightly safer place ahead so that I can activate my alchemy talent."

He now has 2 free talent points, which can activate the third level of electromagnetic sickle, plus electronic empowerment. At that time, the element control power alone will be increased to 3,000 points, which is twice as much as now.

In this unknown place, new power means a greater probability of survival.

This time, Rosen learned his lesson. He was afraid of any accidents, so he turned off the flashlight early and groped forward with only the detection of alchemical magic.

After groping for about a hundred meters, the feeling of alchemical magic feedback suddenly disappeared. The walls on the left and right sides of the corridor and above all disappeared, and the surroundings became empty.

Rosen couldn't see anything with his eyes, and the alchemical magic could only probe 2 meters. This situation made him feel weak.

He quickly took a step back, groped the wall of the corridor, and then groped the wall all the way and continued to move forward.

As he continued to grope and move forward, Rosen got more and more understanding of this terrain.

'There is a large concave here, the shape of the concave is rectangular, about 6 meters deep, more than 2 meters high, etc., and there are some stone pillars in this place. Hey~ What is this? It seems to be a stone staircase. Hiss~ How can there be stairs in this ghost place? No one lives there? ’

Rosen was curious and nervous. After thinking for a few seconds, he couldn’t help but pick up the flashlight again and pressed the switch.

The light suddenly appeared. Rosen’s eyes adapted to the darkness. The sudden light made him squint. After several seconds, he opened his eyes and looked forward.

Just one look, Rosen’s heart almost stopped.

Four meters in front of him, there was a person standing. To be precise, it was a small monster, only about one meter tall, very thin, naked, with only a piece of tattered fur around his waist. The skin exposed on his body was dark blue, and he looked a bit like the water ghost killed by Rosen before.

The most peculiar thing is that it has two huge eyes on its face, occupying almost half of its face. The eyes are also very strange, completely black, with only pupils and no whites.

This little thing was hiding behind a stone pillar, with its big black eyes wide open and its body motionless, just like a statue.

Rosen froze in fright, and the little monster seemed to be frightened too. The two of them looked at me, and I looked at you, their eyes unblinking, and their bodies did not move at all, as if they were both petrified. magic.

In the end, it was Rosen who came to his senses first.

With a "click" sound, he held up the big spiral sprayer in his left hand and pointed the gun at the little monster. Rosen felt a little more at ease before he shouted in a low voice: "Who are you?"

He had never seen a similar monster in the game, not even one that looked similar.

The little monster was startled, his eyes opened even wider, and a pair of black eyes almost seemed to fall out of their sockets. He glanced at the musket in Rosen's hand, and then at Lilith behind Rosen. Finally, he turned his eyes back to Rosen's face and answered the question inappropriately: "Are you from the ground?"

The little monster actually used the official language of the Northern Alliance. Although the tone was not accurate, he spoke very slowly, and Rosen could barely understand it.

He can speak, but his body is not strong, so there should be no threat. Rosen breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, I am from the earth. What about you, what are you?"

There was a hint of confusion in the little monster's big eyes: "I don't know either."

After saying that, his voice suddenly became anxious: "People on earth, you shouldn't be here! You belong to the gods, and you shouldn't be in the realm of the earth gods!"

Rosen was confused. He knew about the God of Heaven, but what was the God of Earth? Why shouldn’t people on earth go to the realm of earth gods?

The little monster ignored Rosen. He made gestures with his hands: "People on the ground, get out of here quickly! If the lord finds you, you will be captured~ It's such an evil light, I hate the light, it stings me Your eyes hurt, put away the light in your hands!"

Seeing him like this, Rosen moved the flashlight away and then carefully observed the surrounding environment.

He discovered that this was a recessed area in the corridor wall, like a small room, and it was also a two-story hut. The first floor had no door, only four supporting stone pillars. He walked up the stairs to the second floor. , there is a wooden door, which is ajar, and the space inside seems quite spacious.

After looking at it for a few times, Rosen asked: "Little one, do you live here?"

The little monster didn't answer. He waved his hands repeatedly and urged: "Go quickly! Go quickly! Go back to where you came from! Otherwise, if the lord finds out, you will be completely ruined!"

This guy seems to be an enthusiastic monster.

Rosen spread his hands: "I also want to go back, but my way back is blocked. I'm looking for other ways out now. I want to ask you, if I keep walking, can I get out?"

"No, you can't get out. You will only go all the way to the center of the dark city, and then be torn apart and eaten by those big and strong men!"

"Then what should I do?" Rosen asked hurriedly.

The little monster seemed troubled. He pouted, showing his fangs. Suddenly, he ran to the other side of the corridor and took a careful look. Then he quickly ran to the stairs. When he reached the wooden door on the second floor, he tried his best to He waved to Rosen: "Hurry up, come up with me, the patrolling death guards are coming, come to my house and take shelter."

There was actually a patrol, and Rosen felt like he had broken into a monster's nest.

He had no choice but to carry Lilith on his back and follow the little monster into his home.

"Bang~"

As soon as he entered the door, the little monster closed the wooden door and locked it. This was not enough. He ran to the small window of the room, closed all the windows tightly, and covered the gap with a layer of fur from an unknown animal. Then he turned around and looked at Rosen: "People on the ground, can you put away the light now? My eyes hurt!"

Rosen could only turn off the flashlight, and the room once again fell into absolute darkness. It was also very quiet, with only the sound of breathing coming and going.

"What on earth is going on?" Rosen couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know either." The little monster's voice sounded from the previous position.

Rosen asked again: "Then why do you want to help?"

Before he finished speaking, he heard the little monster suddenly say: "Stop talking yet, the death guards are coming!"

Rosen immediately shut up.

The room fell into silence.

After about a few seconds, Rosen suddenly heard a heavy breathing sound coming from not far away from the stone house. On Earth, those who can make such a sound just by breathing are giant giants such as elephants and rhinos. .

After a while, Rosen smelled a pungent fishy smell in his nose. This smell reminded him of the smell of a slaughterhouse: "It's blood, extremely thick blood." ’

Forget about the blood, after a while, Rosen felt a cold breath in the air, and the temperature began to plummet. A few seconds later, his body began to tremble involuntarily.

"The temperature must have dropped below zero, probably more than ten degrees below zero. Hiss~ It's so cold~ It's so cold~"

After a while, Lilith, who was wrapped in a thick quilt, couldn't hold it anymore and began to shiver in her sleep. A pair of hands involuntarily hugged Rosen's body, and her face was pressed tightly against his neck, instinctively keeping warm.

This cold feeling lasted for about ten seconds, and then suddenly disappeared again, just as suddenly as it appeared.

The little monster's voice rang: "Okay, the death guard is gone."

Rosen was still in extreme shock, heavy breathing, thick blood, irresistible cold, how terrible is the power of this death guard?

The little monster said to himself: "People on the ground, I didn't help you for nothing. You must repay me."

"How to repay?" Rosen asked.

"The person on the ground on your back is very weak, just a burden, and is of no use to you. I can help you get out of the dark city, but the condition is that you give me this burden on your back."

Rosen's heart tightened: "If it's a burden, why are you here?"

"Of course to eat. Anyway, she is about to die, so much meat, it would be a waste not to eat it." The little monster said as a matter of course, and after speaking, he swallowed his saliva and made a "gulp" sound.
