Chapter 23: Hunter's RelicsNie Hong, who was kicked away, crawled back holding the dense horror straight sword. He took a look at the sound of the giant spider monster falling down and couldn't help but click his tongue. "Anti, what on earth is in your body?" "There are... so many that I can't even count them myself." "I'll pull you out first." "Give me back my sword." "Oh oh... wait? I don't think I have to stab the sword back!" Nie Hong was speechless. He was clearly following his teammates on the adventure, but when they encountered the first major crisis, his greatest contribution was to chop off his teammate's arm with a sword! I also experienced the feeling of pulling a sword out of a teammate's body and then inserting the sword back! But in the end he did it. After you do this kind of thing for the first time, you will feel less resistance. Hopefully, you won't become a person who can backstab teammates without any psychological burden. Of course, if his future teammates are all Anti, that would be a different matter.
After freeing Anti, the two used the power of the object to climb and successfully reached the bottom of the mine. Not far away is the corpse of the spider monster. Anti collected some illustrations. [Giant cursed bodies in the Gross Mine: The cursed bodies in the Gross Mine are the ultimate interpretation of unity is strength. After adding the induction of a group of believers, they even gain favor and gain the power of the eye. However, they are lost and do not know how to use it. ] [——Rong Ge was very happy, but unfortunately he didn’t have time to sign the letter. ] "Give me a proper introduction and don't change the sentences randomly." Anti complained expressionlessly. But this old man Rong Ge looks really friendly. Anti thanked him silently in his heart. Putting this aside, Anti noticed that the information mentioned that there were believers among the composition of this giant spider monster... Nie Hong looked at the monster for a few seconds and then looked away, still not daring to look at it any longer. The two have successfully reached the bottom of the mine. Anti pulled out a stone hammer from his body and lit it, using it as a torch to illuminate the surroundings. The outline of the ruins can be seen in the distance. As they moved forward, the shadow of the tall building gradually became fully visible in front of them as they got closer. This relic building seems to be built in the shape of an altar, surrounded by pillars. It was originally huge in scale, but has become dilapidated over time, and many of the stone pillars have collapsed. "It feels very retro." said Nie Hong. Anti was already looking for Safin's silver pendant. The two did not get too close to the ruins. After all, Safin had instructed them to do so. They just searched around the ruins repeatedly, but still found nothing for a while. In order to make the search easier, the two found several pieces of rubble. Anti lit them one by one and asked Nie Hong to use his magic to lift the fireballs into the air. Suddenly, the area surrounding the ruins was brightly lit.
It can even be said to be a bit festive. "Still nothing? Mr. Safin was talking about it being right in front of the ruins." But after a long time, there was still no result, Nie Hong said. "Indeed not." Anti replied. There are basically only cursed bodies in this deep area, but cursed bodies are not interested in human objects. Anti's gaze turned towards the ruins. Seeing this, Nie Hong said, "You want to go in? But didn't Mr. Safin say that you should try not to go in?" Anti stared at the ruins and said, "Wait for me here. I'll go in and take a look." "Hello, hello? Are you listening to me?" Nie Hong shouted hurriedly. "I have my confidence. Just take care of yourself and wait here. If you are in danger, just shout for help and I will come to save you." Anti waved his hand, holding a stone hammer and torch, he walked into the ruins, leaving Nie Hong standing there in a daze. …… Anti entered the ruins. As he went deeper, he felt a burning sensation deep in his eyes, which gradually turned into pain. Rubbing his eyelids, he did not stop, but ignored the abnormality and continued moving forward. There are some strange pillars in the ruins, and strange sculptures are tied in front of these pillars. The sculpture looks like an upright werewolf, with its limbs and torso covered with armor, but its flamboyant appearance is completely bound and imprisoned by the chains on its body. There are no eyes carved in the eye sockets of the sculpture, but the empty eye sockets still seem to be peeping at Anti who is visiting here. Beast? Seeing the werewolf image of the statue, Anti couldn't help but think of the beasts in this world. According to the history of the mixed dream world as told by Safin, wild beasts were once rampant in this world, and orcs who gained wisdom and walked upright once developed a miracle civilization that was even more magnificent than that of humans. But now, the former orc regime has collapsed, and pure orcs are highly rejected by humans. Once discovered, they will be hunted down and killed. However, there are still many traces of the once great orc civilization left in every corner of this world. Could this relic be related to those intelligent beasts? But these sculptures of werewolf warriors bound by chains do not seem to be good images. Eyes of the night, start! [Sculptures besieging the "Night Stalker": This type of sculpture shows the lowly posture of this ancient and persistent wandering god, with a humiliating meaning, in order to weaken his external influence. The body and obsession of the famous stalker actually come from low-level beasts. ] [——Underdeveloped wolf beastmen of lower rank are often not welcomed by their own kind, and the tall and strong ones prefer to call them “dogs.”] After reading this description, Antio went on. Gradually, he seemed to come to the center of the altar, where there was a table and a weapon rack. However, there was nothing above them. Safin once said that even if you enter the ruins, you should not touch the objects inside. But now, after walking down the ruins, it is clear that there is nothing in the ruins that can be touched. The table in front of you for placing things and the weapon rack should have had other important items on them.
But now they are all gone. So Anti was no longer so reserved, although he had always been very relaxed, and walked forward directly to conduct a detailed investigation. This time, Night Eyes couldn't extract any useful information. "The things have been taken away." Anti turned around and looked around the interior of the ruins. The cursed knight I encountered before, the believer in the giant spider monster, and the various items in this ruins that should be there but are not... An Ti left the ruins and saw Nie Hong waiting anxiously. "How was it? Did you gain anything?" “The thing was not found, but the clue was roughly confirmed.” "What is it?" "The cult in town came here and took some things away," said Anti. "Mr. Safin's pendant, too?" "The cursed body won't touch the pendant, so the only people who would be interested in silver products are humans." "Isn't that thing in the town?" Nie Hong frowned. Anti nodded in affirmation: "It's worth searching. There is another question. Safin was basically stationed in the shallow layer of the mine during his time in the mine. If the Night Chaser Church wanted to go deep into the mine by the right way, he would definitely know about it, but he said he has never seen it." "Those people have another entrance and exit!" Nie Hong immediately replied. Anti nodded: "We are all outsiders after all, and we know too little about this complex mine. But the cultists at least won over and controlled the townspeople who knew about this place." "So what should we do next? Should we go back and talk to Safin first?" "Let's look for their hidden path here first. It would be a waste of time to go back now." An Ti said. The wooden plank road they came down from was destroyed by the giant spider monster. If they go back, they have to go through the tunnel and the maze inside. Who knows how much time it will take. It is not necessary to do so just to tell Safin the bad news. As he said this, Anti calmed himself down. Nie Hong also rubbed his brows, feeling a little distressed about this matter. Coupled with the consumption of his sensing power, he inexplicably had a headache, and he also tried to calm down. Nie Hong felt that she had become a little out of habit with An Ti. After replenishing their energy, the two-man team continued on their journey. (End of this chapter)
