Lord of War

Screams!

Alfred flipped, and the whole person changed from lying still to half kneeling on the ground. Out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced at Sean, only to find that he was still asleep, and was not awakened by this scream. He listened carefully, but inside the crypt seemed to have been struck by the technique of silence. Except for the sound of each other's breathing in the small karst cave, he could no longer hear the slightest sound from the outside world.

Cecilia, has stood up, the heavy magic book has been closed, and her pretty face is also dignified, compared to Alfred's voice as the basis for judgment, Cecily Ya has more judgment methods: "There are traces of magic fluctuations."

"Which side?" Alfred stood up suddenly, and the momentum of the whole person changed instantly, like an unsheathed sword, fierce and fierce.

Cecilia stretched out her hand, which was the direction they came from before: "This kind of magic fluctuation is very rough and primitive, not like human magic."

"None of the tails behind us have a magician." Alfred knew exactly what the mercenary groups in the village of Seroda were that would commit banditry. Roja Kingdom is a very common occupation, but it will not join those mercenary groups that have no future.

The so-called mercenary group combination like Cecilia and Sean is already a fault in the eyes of many people.

This has nothing to do with anything else, it's purely a matter of face.

Alfred knew that many of the tails behind him were not simply because Sean was rich, but more because Cecilia was more interested in her talent and appearance, which were all faults.

At this moment, he was standing at the entrance of the passage of the small karst cave, watching intently.

On the other side of the passage, there was indeed no sound, and it seemed that everything was quiet. In this case, no one knows what the scream just now means, but what can be clearly known is that it is definitely not a good thing, and the sound is so close to this small cave, it is no wonder Alfred Both De and Cecilia will be nervous.

After waiting for a while, and finally confirming that there was no sound coming out, Alfred relaxed a little. After a while, he had already discovered that sweat had soaked his clothes, which showed how much mental energy was consumed by being alert, but he was just exploring an underground passage, no matter how careful he was, he would never be too cautious. Because the so-called underground passages are often connected to the dungeon world, no one can be sure whether they will encounter those creatures from the dungeon world here.

Even though Sean has clearly stated that this underground passage cannot be connected to the underground world, Alfred is still unwilling to maintain this optimism - of course, this is also because he does not know Sean's details, compared to Celia's unreserved trust and obedience, even if Alfred really joined the group, he would still have reservations and opinions on certain things.

He will choose to obey Sean's orders and commands, but it does not mean that there is no doubt, after all, this is also due to his character and principles.

"Let's get out of here." Alfred turned his head and said to Cecilia, "It's not safe here anymore. The voice just now was very close to here. If you continue to stay, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous."

"But Sean..." Cecilia turned her head and glanced at Sean, and found that he was sleeping too soundly, and no one who was so vigilant as he was awakened by the scream just now, it can be seen that he was How tired.

"You can only wake him up." Alfred pondered for a moment, but he didn't mind moving forward with Sean behind his back, but if he encountered an attack, he would not be able to deal with it immediately. This was the real deal for the entire team. irresponsible.

Cecilia also understood Alfred's concerns, so she reached out and pushed Sean a few times, only to find that he was still sound asleep. Alfred on the side shook his head,

After saying "you can't do this", he walked over in person, reached out and slapped Sean on the face, waking Sean directly.

Simple, rude, and effective.

Sean, who had just woken up from the beating, was still a little dazed, his pupils could not focus, his eyes were obviously a little wandering, he covered half of his face, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

Seeing Sean's situation, Alfred realized that Sean had hypoglycemia!

He didn't know that this was because Sean had a sequelae after using "adrenal stimulation". After being stimulated by a mutation, the blood sugar index in his body has now entered a certain quiet period, so he will This kind of situation is similar to hypoglycemia, but there are actually some differences from hypoglycemia. It's just that Alfred didn't know that. He just thought that Sean had this disease, so the next second he tore open a package of compressed instant dry food, took out the candy inside and stuffed it into Sean's mouth , while constantly patting Sean's face to wake him up completely.

Subconsciously chewing the sugar pill in his mouth, Sean's eye focus finally began to return to normal. Looking at Alfred's serious face, Sean asked subconsciously, "What happened?"

"There may be an enemy nearby." Alfred briefly recounted the scream just now, and at the same time made his own inference, "I think we should leave here immediately."

When Sean heard this, his face became awe-inspiring.

He checked his abnormal status bar and found that his tired full ability had dropped by 70% to 60%. He immediately understood that this abnormal state would take time to rest before it would recover automatically, and then glanced at "Adrenal glands" again. Stimulate" this skill, I found that the skill is in a gray state, which is temporarily unavailable like the situation in the game.

"How long have I slept?" Sean turned to ask Cecilia.

"Less than an hour." Cecilia replied without hesitation.

Sean immediately understood the conversion formula for the side effects of this skill in this world. It takes about seven hours of quiet rest to completely offset it, which may also include the need for food supplements. Because adrenal stimulation is actually the stimulation and acceleration of blood sugar and heart in exchange for instantaneous bursting ability, which is somewhat similar to the effect of stimulants, but it is relatively safe in some respects, and such a price also requires a lot of The food is converted into nutrients and energy to supplement the consumption.

He knew that more rest was needed at the moment, but Alfred's decision was also correct. The danger of them continuing to stay here was greatly increased. The best way now is to leave here and find a safer place. come to rest.

After thinking about the crux of the problem, Sean didn't want to waste time, he struggled to stand up.

This small cave is actually very small, even a miniature is not an exaggeration. The diameter of the entire cave is only ten meters, but in addition to the passage when Sean and others came, there are three other unknown passages. where the channel. However, there is no wind coming from these three passages, presumably not the road leading to the surface, but no one knows where it leads.

But this time, Sean didn't let Alfred choose a passage at random. He pointed to the passage that was closest to him, and said, "Come this way."

Alfred was a little surprised: "Do you know how to get to this crypt passage?"

"I don't know." Sean still took it for granted, "I just pick a place that is closest to me and I can move forward with the least effort. Anyway, I'm going down, as long as there is no wind."

Alfred didn't know what to say to Sean, and finally he could only say weakly: "If we are all lost, how will we go back?"

"Cecilia brought the invisible powder." Sean replied calmly, "Every time we pass through a hole, she will smear a brush, and then we can know where we are by using the visible powder. Do you really think that Cecilia's fumbling on those stone walls is just for fun?"

"You're really well-prepared." Alfred muttered, and then took the lead into the passage Sean pointed to. He now understands that Sean is not the kind of leader without a head, on the contrary, his experience His sophistication and richness are simply not what he should have at his age, and even those adventurers and mercenaries who have taken risks and experience for more than ten years do not necessarily have such rich experience as him.

And just ten minutes after Sean, Cecilia, and Alfred walked into this corridor, a group of embarrassed people also ran into this small cave.

This group includes young people who are under 20 years old and middle-aged men who seem to be over 40 years old. Each of them has more or less injuries on their bodies. Although these injuries are not enough to affect their combat effectiveness, but The pain wasn't fake either. These people looked ferocious, full of chills, and the weapons in their hands even dripped with a smelly liquid, but these liquids were not red, but green, and the liquid was very viscous, obviously not Not human blood.

If Alfred was here, he would have recognized that this group of people was one of several notorious mercenary groups in Seroda Village, the Jackal Mercenary Group, and one of the people who was seriously injured was the previous One of the few warriors who followed Sean to the inn at the Warm Air House. But this mercenary group originally had more than 20 people, but now there are only eight people left, and everyone is injured, which is enough to explain the tragic situation they encountered along the way.

"Captain, what should I do now?" the young soldier who had followed Sean before asked.

"What should we do? We've already reached this point, what else can we do!" The middle-aged man who was called the head of the regiment was full of resentment. Don't let me meet them again!... Just now we fought hard with those crypt demons. Although we suffered heavy losses, we also killed a worm and several crypts. Demons, they won't be chasing for the time being, let's take a little rest here and bandage the wounds, the smell of blood can easily attract other crypt creatures."

"But head, how many roads are there, which one should we take?"

The head of the Jackal Mercenary Group glanced at the other three passages in the cave, hesitated a little, and pointed to one of them: "Let's go this one!"

This passage is the same passage that Sean chose!

It seems like I have a cold, I have a fever, and I feel dizzy. Hmm... I still owe one more watch to make up for it next time, so I'll go to rest first.
