Chapter 112 A Sharp Turn for the Worse
Lan Wu's heart was racing, and he immediately quickened his pace to pass Gross and walk into the open hall.
A thick layer of sticky sandworm fluid had accumulated on the ground in the hall. These yellow-green, foul-smelling mucus were burned by the fire, and the air was filled with an indescribable stench that made people want to vomit.
Gross had no intention of following him, nor did he intend to follow him. He had always wanted to use this precious relic to ease the tension between Lu Gaoyin and Lan Wu. With a faint smile on his lips, he gently stroked the Gray Short Stick of the Root of Misfortune, as if he was stroking the woman he loved most.
Since he was going to give this relic away, he might as well enjoy the taste of controlling the Gray Short Stick of the Root of Misfortune. There were not many weapons that suited his identity and status. The only regret was that this dark gold short stick did not belong to him, and he would have to return it to someone else soon.
Snap, clack, stepping on the mucus, Lan Wu held his breath and walked forward. The situation was strange, and he just wanted to find the town teleportation book and Horadric Cube he needed before an accident happened.
Passing over the giant sandworm's exploding corpse, Lan Wu nervously scanned the surroundings. His eyes swept over, and the ground was covered with insect corpses soaked in foul-smelling mucus, and the ground was no longer visible. The surrounding stone walls were the same as other places, except for the reliefs, there was nothing suspicious.
"Rodament." Lan Wu's heart was pounding, and he had to pin his hopes on the old ghost Rodament.
"Sorry, no one can find what Nifl wants to hide." Rodament was very emotional, and seemed to remember something in the past.
Lan Wu was black. No one can find what Nifl wants to hide. From the mouth of Rodament, an old ghost who knows everything, it means don't bother.
"Finally found you."
Suddenly a happy grin came from the opposite side. Before Lan Wu looked up, a strong wind suddenly blew in the hall. The disgusting stench was instantly cleared.
Lan Wu's heart skipped a beat, and without thinking, he switched to his fist sword and accelerated, then turned around and ran back. He had just left the spot when a whirlwind of bright sword blades suddenly swept past, chasing him forward.
At this time, Gross, who was immersed in the dark gold short stick, suddenly heard a sinister laugh, and his face suddenly changed. He looked up hurriedly and saw that the barbarian named Hank had activated the whirlwind skill and chased Lan Wu.
"Not good." Gross's eyes flashed with panic, and he raised his hand reflexively to summon a meteorite.
The huge meteorite fell down and headed straight for Lan Wu's head. Lan Wu noticed the heat wave above his head, and he jumped forward suddenly. At this time, it was too late for Hank to dodge.
The whirlwind skill has extremely high damage and is almost impossible to interrupt. But under the strong inertia, he can only guarantee to reverse the direction of the whirlwind, but he can't send and receive it freely.
The explosion sounded, and the hall was once again engulfed in flames. Lan Wu rolled on the ground and escaped from the sea of fire. When he passed Gross, he grabbed Gross and ran away. At the same time, while no one was paying attention, the four skeletons of Rodament, who had been playing soy sauce, retreated silently and disappeared into the darkness.
He had to escape. Hank had appeared, which meant that Ende and the other four were also nearby. Facing five strong men, there was no chance of winning. What's more, the current situation was weird, and escaping early was also a good choice. As for the Town Teleport Book and the Horadric Cube... he had forgotten them.
With a swish, a thick lightning bolt suddenly passed through the sea of fire and chased Lan Wu.
Lan Wu passed Claudia, who had been hiding behind, and grabbed her. Claudia seemed to be stunned by fear and couldn't react. After being pulled, she couldn't help but screamed and slipped to the ground. This fall inevitably affected Lan Wu's body. Coupled with the thick mucus on the ground, the three people rolled into a ball in a mess, covered with foul-smelling mucus.
The pale lightning suddenly leaped over the heads of the three people and disappeared into the darkness in front. Lan Wu secretly said that he was lucky and hurriedly got up and dragged Claudia up.
"Be careful."
Lan Wu and Claudia had just stood up when Gross suddenly tripped and tripped them to the ground. Fortunately, the mucus and insect corpses on the ground were very thick, so they didn't worry about falling and getting hurt. Just as the two fell, several sharp arrows silently passed through the sea of fire and flew over the heads of the three people.
"You can't escape from our hands." Hank's voice exploded in the sea of fire. Then, a figure surrounded by white smoke suddenly jumped high from the sea of fire and fell directly towards the three people.
"I want to live." Ende's voice suddenly came from the other end of the sea of fire.
Hank grumbled a few times and had to twist his waist in the air to slightly change the landing point. With a snap, the foul-smelling mucus splashed everywhere. Lan Wu and the other two were unable to dodge and were swept up by the aftermath, rolling two or three meters away.
"Don't move if you don't want to die." Hank walked forward and put his two-handed sword on Lan Wu's neck, with a gloomy face. He preferred to see the sharp blade tearing the opponent's body.
Lan Wu had no choice but to raise his hands and surrender. This barbarian was cruel and bloodthirsty. He wanted to kill him when they first met. It was a joke to pin his life on this barbarian's loyalty to Ende.
Gross's face changed several times when he saw Lan Wu being captured. He wanted to attack the barbarian several times. In the end, he didn't make a move. The gap in strength between the two sides was too big.
"Hey, there's another woman?" Hank suddenly caught a glimpse of Claudia, who was huddled in fear next to him, with a look of joy on his face.
Lan Wu's expression suddenly became strange. Could it be that this barbarian was so stupid? Didn't he see Claudia in the underground temple?
"Don't... don't kill me." Claudia's face turned pale with fear, and she kept holding her head and begging for mercy.
"Lord Ende didn't say to leave the others behind." Hank licked his lips with a grin, his eyes full of eagerness. He had no choice but to restrain Lan Wu, and couldn't pull his hand away for a while.
"Bring them here." Ende's voice came again.
Hank touched the tattooed bald head and exerted a little force on his hand. Lan Wu stood up tactfully, and took the opportunity to turn his back to Hank and quickly winked at Gross.
Gross was entangled. He certainly knew that Lan Wu was the target of the Dark Crow. Now that the other four strong men didn't come, it would be easy to escape. But he wanted to ease the tense relationship with Lan Wu. Now that they were sharing weal and woe, it was an excellent opportunity to gain friendship.
Stay or escape?
With a flash of thought, Gross gritted his teeth and chose to accept Lan Wu's hint. He suddenly disappeared from the spot and appeared beside Claudia. Then, he teleported again, taking Claudia away seven or eight meters in an instant. After several consecutive teleports, the two had disappeared into the deep darkness.
This scene came suddenly. Hank just reacted and could only see the backs of Gross and Claudia. Considering Lan Wu, the main target, he had to curse inwardly and escort Lan Wu back.
At this time, the sea of fire in the hall had disappeared, leaving only a few places with white smoke. After the fierce fire, the suffocating stench dominated here again.
"Suna, keep an eye on him. I don't want him to die here." Ende looked at Suna deeply. The latter trembled slightly and nodded obediently to accept the order.
Seeing Suna nod obediently, Ende's expression eased slightly. He looked around and waved his hand. Hank and Vinya immediately dispersed and started looking around. He looked back at Barbara. The latter walked silently to another corner and began to look.
After searching the entire hall, Ende and the other four found nothing. It seemed like an empty hall, with no hidden mechanisms at all.
"Tell me, where is the treasure?" Ende grabbed Lan Wu's collar, his eyes cold, and he did not hide his murderous intent.
He really wanted to kill Lan Wu. He was completely convinced that Lan Wu had obtained the secret of this relic. For the treasure of a relic, he would not hesitate to give up the Rogue Camp. As long as Lan Wu refused to reveal the secret, he would not mind handing it over to Hank for interrogation.
"I don't know either." Lan Wu shrugged helplessly and spread his hands.
Ende looked at him deeply, turned around and left without saying a word. Hank's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stood in front of Lan Wu with a strange smile.
"As long as you don't die, you can do whatever you want." Ende's cold voice floated, which was chilling.
"Leave it to me. I'll make him tell the truth." Hank grinned and rubbed his hands, then grabbed the two-handed sword and gestured in the air, and then prepared to take action.
Lan Wu's heart was pounding. This was the most dangerous moment he had ever faced since he came to this world. There were countless ways to make people miserable. If he fell into the hands of this bloodthirsty barbarian, he would probably be doomed. At this moment, Barbara's voice suddenly rang out.
"Come here." Barbara squatted next to the giant sandworm, indifferently reaching out to dig away the thick mucus and insect corpses on the ground. There was a hole below. A small half of the giant sandworm's tail was still in the hole.
After checking around, Barbara looked up and said coldly: "These sandworms took away the treasure. If you don't want to go deep into the worm hole later, it's better to set off now.
Ende's face was gloomy. He believed that the experienced Barbara would not cheat on such a small matter. He waved his hand and signaled others to help Barbara move the giant sandworm's body.
Half an hour later, the giant sandworm's body was moved away, revealing a hole that was big enough for five people to enter side by side.
At this time, Ende waved his hand. Suna understood and pushed Lan Wu away. Five people sandwiched him in the middle and walked into the cave one after another.
This straight underground tunnel has no forks and is filled with the unique stench of sandworms. Along the way, they did not encounter any attacks from demons such as sandworms. However, the further they walked, the more solemn the expressions on Ende and others' faces became. Even Hank changed his casual attitude and moved forward cautiously.
After an unknown amount of time, the tunnel suddenly turned upwards and a little light appeared in the distance. When he got out of the cave, Lan Wu's eyes suddenly lit up.
Not far away, among the pile of objects that were obviously old, there was a blue book half-hidden.
