The knight in the abyss

Chapter 148 Trap
"What's the matter?" Brutal asked suspiciously, "Isn't this pretty good?"

Hearing a 'crash', his shiny hammer spun and fell into the yellow-green sewage of the sewer.The sewage was much more viscous than it looked, and it took the hammer two or three seconds to sink down.

"Ah, it's all right, my hammer will fly back by itself."

"That's exactly the problem." Ekmon reminded with a gloomy tone.

A low buzzing sound sounded, and Brutal's hammer broke through the surface of the water, and flew straight towards its owner with a drizzle of yellow-green liquid.

"NO!!!" The dwarf let out a miserable scream, "Stop! You bloody hammer! Don't come here!"

Naturally, the hammer couldn't understand the owner's call. The magic attached to it made it automatically fly back to the owner's hand after hitting the target or falling to the ground.

Brutal watched the hammer getting closer and closer to him in despair, he raised his shield high, ready to use it instead of his hands to catch the hammer.Others have been hiding far away, no one wants to be glued by the splashing juice.

Except Lancelot.He watched the distance, stabbed out with the long sword, and the tip of the sword accurately hit the hammer head, and at the same time, a burst of air burst out all over his body, blowing back the juice that splashed forward.

With a bang, the hammer fell to the ground, making a small hole.The mighty weapon was still smeared with a disgusting goo and rags of dubious use, causing the dwarf's features to twist together in agony.

"That... Aramiel!" Brutal tried to ask for some help, "Can't you conjure clean water out of thin air? I need that right now!"

"The magic spell bestowed on me by the goddess is not for this!" The elf priest firmly refused.

"That's indeed a bit blasphemous, and it might make him lose his magical power." Karaline shook his head, "Let me do it, I happen to be able to use the spell."

The scholar reached into the bag behind his back, the magical container that ensured that he always had what he wanted immediately within reach.

"This spell comes from a once extremely developed magic empire in history, but it was destroyed in the disaster caused by their greatest arcanist trying to apotheosis." Karaline pulled the scroll, and the arcane runes drawn on it began Light up, "It is said that almost everyone could use magic at that time, so many very practical spells were created to serve the daily life of civilians."

A beam of pale blue light shot from his fingertips, enveloping Brutal's hammer.The stains on the surface disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. After just a few seconds, the hammer was cleaner than ever.

"Karalin, I love you!" Brutal confessed to the scholar excitedly, picked up his hammer, and then looked at him suspiciously, "Running water is like strong acid to vampires, so little Isa can't take a bath, can she? Does she rely on your spell to keep her clean?"

"Ahem..." The scholar suddenly blushed, "Miss Isabella is a poor lady, I am very glad to help her..."

Lancelot shook his head, swung his long sword, and then poked the wall with the tip of the sword a few times to clean it up.He took two steps forward, squatted on the ground to check the trap that had just triggered the stone ball.

There are very thin silk threads on the ground, protruding from the walls of the tunnel, and any creature taller than his waist is easy to fall for.

"It seems that the authentic builders still live here." Kara Lin also walked over, commenting on this simple trap, "It's unlikely that the kobolds will mess with those undead creatures, maybe they can give We have some useful information to offer, if we can find these little guys."

"I bet they already know we're coming." Brutal looked at the trap resentfully, "Damn it, if I got closer, I'd be able to spot it in advance!"

"At least you triggered this trap in advance, but the way to solve it is not right." Lancelow patted the dwarf on the shoulder, "Before you throw the hammer out next time, make sure there is nothing you don't want to get on it. .”

The crowd continued to move forward. This time they discovered several traps in advance, including stones falling from the ceiling, spear points suddenly piercing the floor, and crossbow arrows shot from small holes in the wall.After Korra's second attempt to disarm the traps failed, it was replaced by Brutal who was responsible for solving these traps, by holding the shield and stepping directly on it.

After passing a few corners, they found a fork in the road, the waterway used for sewage turned to the other side, and a tunnel that was not on the map pointed in another direction.

"Look there!" Brutal pointed to the inside of the passage, the dwarf's dark vision allowed him to clearly see where the elf priest's hammer did not illuminate.

I saw activated traps everywhere in this passage, crossbow arrows and knives were inserted all over the walls and floor, but there was a humanoid corpse lying in the depths.Everyone walked in cautiously, and found that the body of the corpse was covered with weapons and dents from being smashed by stones. It was obvious that it had been baptized by multiple rounds of traps before it fell down.

"I'm afraid these traps are not the cause of his death." Karalin held a bracelet engraved with arcane runes, and an illusory silver palm appeared out of thin air, turning the face-down corpse over, and everyone just A dagger was found stuck in the chest of the body.

Cora's potion was still taking effect, but everyone still smelled a strong stench.The corpse was extremely swollen, as if it had been soaked in the water for a long time.Its entire front had been gnawed clean by maggots, and the viscera in its chest and abdomen had long been gone, exposing the blackened bones that had already been soaked.

As the scholars suggest, the corpse died long ago, some force brought him back to his feet again, and then walked blindly into these traps until the severe injuries prevented the evil force from sustaining him any longer. activity.

"I guess Axmennon is not the only one being harassed by zombies." Brutal suddenly shouted into the depths of the cave: "Kobolds! I know you are listening, tell us what is going on with these zombies !"

The sound echoed in the cave, and it seemed to have spread far away, but there was no response at all.

"If you don't come out, I'm going in!" Brutal continued to shout.

There was still no movement, so the dwarf began to walk in regardless.Lancelot looked at his reckless move helplessly, but did not stop him.

He stepped on a pressure trap first, and a rock the size of a dwarf's head fell from above, smashing against Brutal's helmet.The latter just looked up suspiciously, and then continued to walk forward.

Then there was a tripwire trap, and three crossbow bolts suddenly shot at the back of the dwarf's head, but Brutal turned around and blocked them all with his shield.

"Nice attempt," commented the dwarf, "willing to come out and talk now?"

Still no response.Brutal shrugged, and suddenly made a move that left everyone dumbfounded: He raised his shield and began to sprint forward as fast as he could.

"The abyss has clearly affected his mind." Lancelow shrugged helplessly, and hurried after him.
