Neo felt Valentina's gaze, turned to look at her, and then continued busy with the work at hand.
Valentina was still staring at Neo intently.
Neo put down what he was doing and faced Valentina, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just want to take a closer look. I've seen the most fearless person in my life."
Neo smiled and said: "I take this sentence as a compliment."
"Not only are you not afraid of death, but you are also extremely thick-skinned."
"Haha" Neo said with a smile: "You are also very brave, oh, and also very stupid. Come crazy with me."
"Didn't you see all my injuries?"
"Your surgery was good. The skin is healed, but who knows whether the inside is good or bad?"
Neo raised a hand, "I promise, we are good people from the inside out, and our hearts are not bad."
Valentina pinched Neo, "There's no need to discuss heart, you are just a bad guy, you took the opportunity to bully me, I mean your injury."
Neo said seriously: "Okay, no kidding, the chest and abdominal injuries are basically fine. The fracture on the left shoulder is still a bit of a problem, but the impact is not big, and it will heal better as time goes by. After all, I have already
Try your best, my self-healing ability is really not limited, and the lives of those red ghost centurions will not be in vain."
"Okay! I won't persuade you anymore," Valentina said with a bit of anger.
"Valentina, remember one thing, unless you see my head being chopped off and completely dead, I will definitely find a way to come back alive, no matter what happens, do you understand?"
Valentina frowned, "Why do you say such ominous words?"
Neo smiled, "I just want to say that I have a great destiny. If you encounter any disaster, you can turn it into a good one. You must have confidence in me."
"Well, that's pretty much it."
White Socks has already pulled Valentin to the Windrush camp. Neo and Valentina successfully sneaked into the underground waterway of Fort Watts, but this time they did not rush to the surface, but followed the waterway to the end.
While taking out a large foldable leather bag and inflating it with a delicate little air plug, he explained to Valentina: "In order to escape, I spent a lot of time studying the terrain. As soon as I saw the structure here, I knew.
Even if there is no direct access to the Underdark, there is definitely an extremely complex underground network."
Neo saw Valentina's surprised face and said, "There is a dark area under Erdrit's territory. Do you know this?"
Valentina nodded, "When I was at the Knight Academy, I entered the Dark Territory once with the team from Langet (the famous entrance in Erdrit territory), but I had never heard of an entrance here in Fort Watts, or even
In the entire Bafas Territory, we have never heard of any attacks by underground dwellers."
One airbag has been inflated, and after sealing it, Neo began to inflate the other one. "I provide two clues. The year before last, during the Erdrit Games, the prize provided by Baron Bafas was a well-made magic steel rock war weapon.
Ax, for this tomahawk, the guy I competed with for the championship was willing to let go at critical moments, so I was deeply impressed. During the training camp last winter, the 1st group of militiamen led by Bafas wore the leather armor of cave pythons, and carried out sneak tracking projects at night.
The 11 sets of cave python leather armor were very exposed, and although they were well concealed, the iron fasteners were exposed. They were the style craftsmanship from the underground world."
"So Bafas is actually closely related to the Underdark?"
"It's a pity that I heard that the future Lord Bafas is very bad."
"Quip Bafas is a famous name in Erdrit Territory."
It's rare to see Valentina sarcastic about someone. Neo has already roughly determined how bad this Quip is.
"Okay, let's explore our emergency escape route"
The second function of the rubber tights is that when the wetsuit is worn in the water, it is very cold and the inside of the water channel is pitch black, but this is not a problem for Neo. With the large skin bag filled with air, breathing is not a problem for a short time.
The two people who were well prepared got into the water and swam deeper along the waterway that turned underground. Because they were swimming downstream, it was not difficult. They mainly had to pay attention to stumbling, but this problem was not that serious because the waterway was sufficient.
It is spacious and the water flow is very gentle
"This at least proves that there are no waterfalls or steep slopes for a certain distance. As long as we pay attention, we are still very safe." When entering the water, Neo especially comforted Valentina.
For Valentina, the feeling underwater is not good at all. The pressure, limited air, darkness and coldness, and the inability to keep her feet on the ground...the combination of these problems makes her hate water, not to mention that she drowned when she was young.
Once in the water, there was a certain psychological shadow, but with Neo around, Valentina felt a lot more at ease. She didn't open her eyes, but with the help of induction, she could clearly feel the situation of Neo swimming in front of her, and from time to time
Touching the rope connecting her and Neo also helped to calm the panic in her heart.
In fact, Neo is not without fear. Land creatures will have an instinctive fear of water, especially closed underground water bodies with tortuous routes. However, Neo is a warrior.
The knight's first lesson is virtue education, the warrior's first lesson is courage training
There are many dragon spears in front of you. When it's time to charge, you have to rush forward without hesitation. Use weapons, shields, armors, and bodies to open the passage. This is the warrior. Neo is a good warrior. A good warrior knows how to defeat fear.
, brave and fearless, almost the instinct of a good warrior
There was nothing bizarre about this water trip, not even a small episode. Through the waterway, Neo and Valentina soon entered a rather huge underground pool. The unpredictable depth of the pool aroused Neo's vigilance.
, he did not come here for exploration, and he was not interested in finding out how deep the pool was or whether there were other undercurrents or water whirlpools. He just climbed up against the edge of the water channel when he entered, and then surfaced.
"Poof!" Neo said while observing the surrounding situation: "Very good, this is exactly the hiding place we need." Neo said happily: "It takes 15 breaths to swim over, and there are two people on the way.
It’s a fork in the road, and it’s difficult for an unprepared person to successfully reach here, and do you feel it?”
Valentina followed Neo and paddled in the water. When she heard Neo ask, she said casually: "What do you feel?"
"Feng, there is a ventilation channel here, so you don't have to worry about breathing problems. It's not bad here. I dug a few shallow holes that are good for climbing." Neo said, taking out his small hand pick that doubled as an ice pick and a mining pick.
With a few bangs, a shallow cave was dug, and not long after, the climb leading to a rock platform 4 meters above the water was completed.
Valentina followed Neo up to the ledge, only to find that the top was much larger than it looked from the water, and there were caves leading to who knows where.
Neo checked carefully, and Valentina asked: "What are you looking for?"
"See if there are any traces of creatures coming"
Valentina smiled and said: "Is it better to have it or not to have it?"
"Everyone has his own merits," Neo said and stood up, "I haven't found it yet, so if this is no longer the case, we must find another escape hatch."
"Ah?" Valentina was a little surprised, and then said: "I said before that you are the most fearless person I have ever seen, right?"
"yes"
"I take it back"
"Haha, okay." Neo didn't mind at all. Looking up, the underground pool looked like a small vertical dome. The lower half was water and the upper half was empty. The top was about 30 meters above the water.
"Hey, this place is really nice. That's a good escape hatch." Neo pointed diagonally at the stone wall opposite. There was also a rock platform more than 10 meters above the water. In addition to the height, it was far away from where the two of them were now.
The ledge still has a span of at least 10 meters
"I can't see..." Valentina felt a little depressed.
"It doesn't matter, I can handle this job alone." Neo said, opening the bag and taking out a bundle of ropes that were 30 meters long. He then nailed an iron peg to the rock platform and hung a stranglehold on one end of the rope.
He tied the dog's buckle with the other end around his waist. He took off his tights and became more comfortable, and began to climb against the rock wall with his pickaxe behind his back.
Neo's daily exercise is rock climbing. It can not only exercise muscles and enhance physical strength, but also increase the body's flexibility, coordination, concentration, and balance. Therefore, the rock wall in the cave is suitable for
It wasn't a problem for him, and he arrived at his destination quickly. He also nailed a peg on top, tied the rope, then put a pulley on it, and slid down diagonally.
"There is only one pulley, put a condom on it, hold your waist and hips, and use both arms to climb backwards and forwards. It's easy to get up." Neo briefly told Valentina how to use it.
"The rock platform above is a vent. I don't know if it leads to the surface. Anyway, once we get there, it should be safe." Neo asked worriedly while putting on his tights: "Below level 10, I think.
You have to climb up the rock, will you be able to handle it?"
Valentina rolled her eyes at Neo, "If he dares to crawl, he will be dead."
"Well, I feel like it's getting late. Let's go."
The two of them returned the same way they came, filled the air bag with air and placed some other items such as dry clothes near the entrance, and then found the wellhead that Neo and Mach used last time. Not only were they familiar with the place, but they also had the same location below.
It is a puddle. If there is an emergency, people can jump directly into the well without worrying that the water is too shallow and lacks buoyancy. This is a very important little detail.
In fact, there are many details like this. The route arrangement, the items that may seem inconspicuous at first, but in fact are helpful, etc., are all explained in detail. Along the way, Neo gave Valentina one by one.
Pointing out, Valentina truly realized that what was covered up by madness and boldness, and even good luck, was a cautious heart that strived to perfect as many details as possible. Details, which are related to success or failure, depend on Neo's behavior.
, it was the first time she felt this concept so deeply
It is not an exaggeration to say that "the first half of this bloody dawn belongs to Neo"
Neo feels that working with Mach is an excellent detective and search team. Although there is no relevant communication, Neo can still detect from the details that Mach has quite rich and experienced scouting experience. Scouts can be said to be between
There is an obvious military bias in style between rogues and rangers, especially this last point, which Neo values very much. It represents team concept and cooperation, rather than being motivated and pushy. It is indeed not enough to be able to go to Mach.
Living up to his expectations, despite the presence of envoys and meat slaves who are full of temptations, he still fulfilled his duties and completed the mission. He did not touch the points outside the mission. This is a pair of ordinary solo or small team members who are extremely heroic.
For professionals, it is difficult to sit down
Together with Valentina, they are a tough hunting team. Neo feels that he is the tip of the knife, and Valentina is the blade. The tip of the knife assassinates, and the blade dominates the battle. With Valentina by his side, Neo feels like he is the tip of the knife.
Have the confidence to slaughter people door to door without having to worry about the red ghosts being alerted due to accidents
In the past two days, the total number of red ghosts has dropped sharply. If it were a human being, it would be a normal step to reduce the barracks and unite closely under such circumstances. But the red ghosts are different. They have some animalistic characteristics, so they must accept their den!
Using terminology to classify it, it means that if you have a strong sense of territoriality, if you go to 5 rooms and have 3 red ghosts living there, you will instinctively end up living in one room after another.
In the shallow consciousness of most red ghosts, the reason why humans are difficult to deal with is that 1. there are iron tools, 2. there are castles and humans without iron tools and castles are mostly lambs to be slaughtered. This understanding makes them overly believe in the defensive function of castles.
A sense of defensive expansion was born, especially mid- to high-level commanders like centurions and centurions, and fatal omissions formed.
When Neo was taking action, he was still wondering why the number had been reduced to this point. The red ghosts were still sleeping here and there. Wasn't this equivalent to washing their necks to be slaughtered?
"If we don't make some achievements, we won't be able to give the Red Devils a chance to create their own!"
Relying on their amazing sense of hearing and smell, Neo and Valentina sneaked into a private house. Valentina had relatively little knowledge and experience in sneaking, and the dark sky also had a certain impact on her, so
Neo didn't let Valentina go deep. He stayed near the room as soon as he entered, preparing to kill a certain red ghost. Then he went inside and dealt with another one.
Within a range of 5 meters, Valentina's senses were quite sharp. She discovered that Neo's sneaking method was very unique. It was not sneaky or sneaky like a rogue as she imagined, but it made it easy for her to
I thought of the cat when he was walking, calmly and quietly, as if this was his normal state.
The most interesting thing is Neo's body movements when he is walking. He seems to be very familiar with what is around him. While walking, he swings his limbs, bends his bow to avoid, and avoids unnecessary touches like a smooth flow. That feeling
Valentina's skill and willfulness made her feel both pleasing to the eye and a little creepy at the same time. She felt that if Neo engaged in the assassination business, even with his current strength, he would definitely be able to make a name for himself in the industry.
Black light was swimming in the palm of Neo's right palm. It was black and shiny, like a flame. It could be seen clearly even in a dark room. It looked a bit weird, hiss! Amidst the very slight sound of breaking through the air, Ni
Ao's hand has been imprinted with the head of a red ghost
The red ghost's body only shook slightly, and then only twitched. Its consciousness was killed immediately, leaving only an empty and lifeless body. After more than ten seconds, the body was completely dried up and turned into ashes.
These residues are not qualified as soil, and are almost the same as ashes and gravel.
The power effectiveness of Neo's 'Life Intake' skill has been increased again. This is one of the benefits of drawing 8 Red Ghost Centurions in a row last night.
When she was sucking the red ghost in the back room, Valentina couldn't see clearly, but she could see the one in the outer room clearly. At that moment, Valentina felt that Neo was like the god of death wiping out life, and the way was so cruel that it made people's hearts tremble.
, but there is no such evil feeling, but a very pure terror, coming from the bottom of my heart, throbbing and depressing, it feels like the instinctive fear of all living beings when facing darkness and death.
Nodding to Valentina, meaning that the work in this room was over, Neo went out first, while Valentina followed Neo in a daze.
The second room, the third room, the twentieth room, the thirtieth room... I didn't think this situation was special before. Valentina discovered that Neo's coldness towards the enemy was just like the night of the avalanche.
The cold night on the top of the mountain was deep and cold, without a trace of mercy or hesitation. Life after life was wiped out silently, and Neo's hand reaching out to the next target seemed to always be so steady, and his eyes seemed to be
It is always so peaceful, with no madness, no excitement, no joy, and no sorrow. There is a kind of purity like death itself, and wherever it passes, it is light and desolate.
For Neo, this is a gluttonous feast. Although in terms of texture, even if all the remaining ordinary red ghosts are absorbed, it cannot be compared with what he got from those red ghost centurions, but at the basic level, it is the third.
Once there was a big surplus, it was so big that it had to be released.
