Sufina and Bing Zhixie were alert at the same time, and they immediately ran around the corner. Bing Zhixie fired a bright light from his hand, and at the end of the light, a person quickly passed by and ran into another sewer.
"Chase!" Bing Zhixie stepped up in the air, and with every step she took, the wind element rebounded fiercely under her feet. Sufina immediately transformed into a galloping flame and chased forward.
After crossing the corner, Bing Zhixie once again fired a powerful beam. Under the light, the people at the far end were startled and ran into other passages.
Bing Zhixie and Sufina kept following behind, and when they chased after him, they found that the man was gone.
"Damn it, you ran so fast!" Sophie turned into a human form from the flames and fell down.
Bing Zhixie asked: "Did you see anything just now?"
"A woman, and she's not wearing any clothes." Sufina confirmed.
In the sewer, two huge rats poked their heads out of the distance and stared at them warily. A ball of flame ignited in Bing Zhixie's palm, frightening the rats away and illuminating the surrounding area. He and Sufina walked along both sides of the sewer.
I looked forward on the road and came to a crossroads. One side was blocked by an iron gate and there was no sign of damage, but the other two sides were open.
"Oops, the map was destroyed." Sufina brought a self-drawn sewer sketch, but the pursuit just now caused the non-fireproof sketch to be burned (her clothes were fireproof to a certain extent).
The two of them did not rashly choose a path and pursue each other.
Bing Zhixie said: "Teacher, do you think the person who just ran away was faster than us chasing him?"
Sufina thought about it for a moment and said, "It seems not."
With fire burning in his palm, Bing Zhixie looked around his head, then took a few dozen steps back, and suddenly found blood on the ground.
Sufina knelt down and looked at it: "The blood is dried, but it is very new. It should have been left two or three days ago. Is it the blood of a rat?"
Bing Zhixie pointed and said: "There are not many blood stains on the ground, and there are no traces of movement. If an animal or magical beast is injured, there should be more than this blood, and there will be moving blood traces."
"Maybe the mouse was injured and jumped into the water?"
Bing Zhixie stood up and looked around again. Some of the culverts extending from above were still flowing with water. Bing Zhixie walked to the mouth of a ditch, looked around, and knocked on the wall with the dagger handle.
, jumped to the opposite side and looked at several ditch mouths in a row, then came back and said: "There is a trap here. The relief at the ditch mouth has been twisted." He pointed to the ditch mouth in front of him where no water was flowing.
Sofina was startled: "Are you sure?"
Bing Zhixie didn't explain much. He held the relief at the mouth of the canal with both hands and twisted it. With Sufina's help, the relief was twisted 180 degrees.
Then a wall not far from the blood stain made a dull sound and rumbled up.
Sufina was greatly surprised. She stood at the entrance of the secret passage and looked inside, then turned around and said, "How did you know there was a mechanism here?"
Bing Zhixie said: "The relief at the mouth of the channel depicts four monsters. In fact, these are not monsters, but the totems of the four gods in Hero's mythology. They are Piyousi, who is in charge of light, Zuokua, who is in charge of darkness, and Zuokua, who is in charge of darkness.
Aelaske, the ruler of the sky, and Gilga, ruler of the earth.”
"I didn't expect you even knew this." Before reading the information obtained from the library, Sufina had never even heard of the name of the ancient city of Shiloh. She only learned the names of these four gods after reading the information on the sewers.
Bing Zhixie pointed to the relief at the mouth of the ditch and said: "The belief in this god is very unpopular, and not many people know about it. I just looked at several drainage outlets nearby, and all the reliefs are engraved with these four gods, but this one is the only one."
The relief of the drainage outlet is different. This relief has the sky Elashiq, the earth Gilga, and the light Piyosi, but there is no totem of the dark Zokua. Instead, it is the ancient evil god Ati.
En Stirga. In addition, according to the tradition of Heroic mythology, the four gods are in charge of the four directions at the same time, so when arranged, the sky god is at the top, the earth god is at the bottom, the dark god is on the left, and the light god is on the right. But this relief
Before it was twisted just now, the Sky Elashik that should have been at the top was upside down at the bottom, so it must have been moved by someone."
Sufina was so shocked that she was speechless. There was a drainage outlet like this every ten meters in this ancient sewer. There were so many in the entire sewer that she couldn't even count them. She also observed the drainage when she first came in.
These reliefs on the mouth, but did not pay attention to these details at all. I did not expect that Bing Zhixie in front of me...
Bing Zhixie took the lighting crystal from Sufina's hand and looked into the secret passage. He saw a lot of blood on the ground, as well as dust and footprints. He hooked his hand and said, "Come on, the person just now
He must have run inside, let’s go in and have a look.”
Sufina followed behind, looking at his thin back, she realized that he was really not simple, he actually knew so many things at such a young age!
There was the sound of water coming from ahead. Bing Zhixie walked to a T-shaped intersection and saw a two-meter-wide ditch, but the water flowing there was not sewer water, but more like underground river water. The water quality was relatively clear and there were small fish.
Suddenly, a dark shadow lurking in the dark suddenly rushed towards him. Bing Zhixie felt the fishy wind coming towards him, so he turned sideways and just managed to avoid it.
"It's Du Yachu!" Sufina raised her hand and burned it with a ball of flame.
Du Yachu has shiny black fur all over his body, his eyes reflect white light under the light, and he has a wide mouth with more than a hundred sharp teeth and four dark orange fin-like claws. His body is about the size of a lioness. He likes the shade.
He is moist, hates light and is arrogant, so he immediately pounces on Bing Zhixie as soon as he sees the light.
After being burned by the fire, Du Yachu screamed in pain, rolled into the ditch, and ran away at high speed.
Sufina said: "Du Yachu's appearance was not accompanied by the mysterious man's sneak attack just now. It seems that he was not protected by that man. The underground undercurrent here is complicated, that is, it came from the outside."
There were traces of blood trailing along the edge of the river, which was in the same direction as Du Yachu's escape earlier, which was upstream. The two of them walked forward following the blood traces, and soon came to a large square pool. Shadows were swimming in the water, and there were large figures.
The fish, as well as Du Yachu's figure, had its head above the water, like a crocodile, with its two eyes staring at the two people on the shore, but it did not attack as easily as before and became more cautious.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Sufina stood on the bank of the pool and shot two fireballs towards the opposite side. The fireballs flew across the water and bloomed at the end of the pool. The firelight illuminated the entire surrounding area.
There is not much near the pool. There are roads on both sides to pass through, and there is a dark doorway on the opposite side. However, when the firelight shines, things in the pool jump to the shore one after another. What I can see clearly before the firelight disappears is that they are algae-green wine barrels.
There are more than ten or twenty large toads.
"It's a green algae frog," Bing Zhixie said.
Green algae frogs are not uncommon. They can usually be seen on the shores of ponds. They can often be seen around the Imperial Capital. This guy is green, with green scales and whiskers on his head. His body is always covered with parasites. Look at it.
It makes people extremely uncomfortable. Moreover, they are very poisonous, so people tend to avoid them.
Recently, a green algae frog was squatting on the ground, with the loose eardrum on its chin dragging to the ground. Its two green glass-like eyes looked at the two people dully. It was motionless, like a sculpture.
The roads on both sides were occupied by green algae frogs. Sufina said: "Fly over the pool."
"Yeah." Bing Zhixie jumped up and flew over the pool, with Sufina following closely behind.
Du Yachu in the water followed them like a shadow, his eyes always watching them. Suddenly, he jumped up from the pool, opened his mouth and bit Bing Zhixie's abdomen. This noise disturbed the green algae frogs around him.
, they puffed up their cheeks and sprayed out venom, shooting at Bing Zhixie and the other two people above the pool.
"Ha!" Bing Zhixie's eyes were cold, and he was already on guard. He waved a little cold light from his fingertips, and a thin wall of ice suddenly formed on all sides to block the venom. At the same time, Sufina's right hand ignited a raging flame again, pressing down on Du Yachu's bite.
From above, there was a roar, and powerful flames poured down, instantly burning Du Yachu to death. Fire came out of his eyes, nose, and mouth, and his whole body was like red-hot iron.
This time, Du Yachu died without even making a cry. The body fell into the water, causing bursts of white smoke, which soon attracted schools of fish to compete for food.
"I didn't hurt it, but it actually sought death on its own." Sufina and Bing Zhixie landed on the opposite side safely. Bing Zhixie saw that there was still blood on the ground, so he went inside the door. He was happy with the spar lamp in his hand and activated his magic power.
The light emitted by the crystals in the lamp became more and more intense, but the crystals were consumed faster.
After Sufina stepped through the door, she looked around: "What kind of place is this?"
The door behind the door is very wide, like a palace hall. There are several thick pillars in the hall, some of which have been damaged and collapsed. The ground is scattered with stones and debris, some are fragments of sculptures, some are vases, and there are a few piles from time to time.
Looking up at the crystal fragments, they should be the crystal chandelier that fell and shattered.
The entire hall was once carefully decorated, with carefully painted patterns on the walls and floor, but the color has become gray and difficult to discern. I don’t know how many years have passed. There is a large square black mark in the middle of the hall, which should be left by the decayed carpet.
There are traces of dragging on the traces. There is a stone high-backed chair in the middle, and a person is sitting on the chair.
"It's Bobby! Why is she here?" Sophie ran over.
Bobby was dead, with bite marks on his body. There was a sword stuck in his chest, nailed to the stone chair. The style of the sword was consistent with the silver-white armor on Bobby's body, and it should be her own sword.
Bingzhixie said: "She appeared here fully armed, but she still died, which shows that the person who killed her had some strength."
Sufina said: "I don't know Bobby's strength, but he should be good enough to be a senior teacher in Kurantin."
Bing Zhixie said: "She probably came down here by herself and was killed. But what is the secret of the sewers of the college? Why would anyone come here?"
Sufina shook her head: "I don't know much."
The two checked around the hall and found that there were three roads behind the hall, two roads leading to each room, and a large staircase extending downward in the middle.
Sufina returned to the hall and met Bing Zhixie and said, "There were people living here many years ago. This is probably part of the underground city of the ancient city of Hero."
"Should we move on?"
"We're all here. I'd really like to see what's next. The other guy hasn't been caught yet."
