The knight in the abyss

Chapter 377 Found it

After the initial battle, Lancelot remained stealthy, bypassing the terraformers roaming the dungeon maze.Defeating these pathetic demons would be easy, but it would be a waste of time, and he didn't want to startle them.

In addition to the wandering monsters, there are also some more powerful beings imprisoned in the cell.Some were demons, and some were monsters at all. Lancelot saw a large demon with a dark body and a scorpion-like spike on its head, and a purple-red humanoid monster with four arms.

They were locked in cages made of abyssal metal, bound with countless iron chains engraved with magical runes, and it was difficult to move even one finger.Although Lancelot tried to hide himself as much as possible as he passed them, one prisoner spotted him.

"Let me out, human." A voice sounded directly from the bottom of Lancelot's heart, "I will give you everything you want!"

The voice was still in the common language of mankind.Lancelot turned his head and found that the person who sent telepathic voice transmission to him was a giant dark red demon.Its horns are very characteristic, protruding horizontally to the sides, like wearing an exaggerated hat.Its upper body looked like a muscular giant, and its lower body was a pair of thick bull hooves. At this moment, it was being tightly bound by an iron chain covered with spikes, like an animal waiting to be slaughtered.

The demon's burning eyes stared straight at where Lancelow was, completely ignoring the human knight's attempts to hide himself.His intuition told him that this demon probably possessed the true vision ability that high-level demons possessed, so he could easily discover his existence.

Lancelot also noticed that the demon had six fingers on his palm, but they were all fastened to a splint by metal spikes, a device the prisoner relied on to incapacitate the prisoner.

Six fingers are the characteristics of Graz'zt, the "lord of darkness", but not all demons with the characteristics of six fingers are related to Graz'zt.Lord Wu'an is said to be a dark-skinned, handsome, human-like demon whose favorite companions are succubus, harpies, and beautiful and ambitious humans.

That is to say, it is unlikely that the eighteen-foot-tall monster in front of him is the child of Lord Wu'an.But maybe they are related?After all, this is the castle of the mother of demons, and Graz'zt and Cang Ye have never denied the rumors of the mother-child relationship. Maybe this prisoner is actually Lord Wu'an's brother?

"Do you want to deal with that stinky bitch Cang Ye? I know all her secrets, the way to enter her treasury, and the power she fears the most!" I'll tell you all about it!"

Lancelot turned his head away, and resolutely cut off the spiritual connection between the two parties.Those things are not particularly attractive to him, and he doesn't ask this demon now.The most important thing is that the demon's aura is far stronger than his own, and the tanar'ri have always had a poor reputation in fulfilling their promises, especially when they are fully capable of tearing up the agreement without consequences.

After Lancelow left, the demon continued to send telepathic voices, hitting his spiritual barrier, and did not disappear until he walked more than 100 feet away.If he was indeed on this trip to kill Cang Ye, freeing a sworn enemy imprisoned by the Mother of Demons might really help a lot, but that wasn't on his to-do list.

The original goal of this operation - to steal the demon's battle plan - has completely failed.What Lancelow can do now is to recover the losses as much as possible and minimize the cost of failure.

The surrounding environment has gradually changed from a dirty cave to a stone passage. There are burning torches every few tens of feet on the wall, which provide good lighting for the passage and make Lancelot's stealth easier. for difficulty.Fortunately, there are many corners and corridors here. With the powerful spiritual sense that can detect the enemy's position in advance, Lancelow is getting closer and closer to the target he is looking for.

Finally, he came to the outside of a circular building.This building occupies a very large area, with a radius of at least two hundred feet. There is an entrance at the front and back, guarded by three glabres and six berserkers respectively.

According to Lancelow's induction, the succubus paladin was definitely in this building, but after assessing the strength of both the enemy and us, he had to give up the idea of ​​forcibly breaking in.Even if the demons on both sides don't support each other, he can't defeat the guards on either side by himself.

In addition, the two entrances were tightly sealed by heavy metal prison doors, and Lancelow didn't see any facility that looked like a door opening mechanism.Suppressing his restless mood, the human knight hid himself in an inconspicuous corner, concentrated his true energy in his ears, and tried to gain some useful information from the chatter of the guards.

"Have you heard? There should be a succubi paladin inside now, and I don't know where Urgog got such a top-quality one." One of the glabres was saying to his companion, "I have ridden A thousand succubi, but no paladin yet."

"I tried." Another glabrat added with a wicked smile, "30 years ago, a foolish apprentice wizard stole his teacher's notes, convinced that a spell recorded in it would make him the greatest wizard. I killed that idiot in no time, and I had a good time in the Material Plane after that, and the best part was capturing an elf who had only been a paladin for a few days."

"Wow, you must have had a lot of fun with it?"

"Yeah, although I realized later that he is actually a male elf, but what does it matter? The elves are all beautiful." No.1 bauber said with a smile, "The paladin's belief is very firm, so destroy It’s especially wonderful to wake up. Although his righteous partners took back his body in the end, his soul has been changed forever. Maybe in a few decades, he will take the initiative to call me, hahahaha..."

"Sigh, I don't know what Urgog did. Why does the mother of demons trust him so much?" No.3 Mizumo said, the dissatisfaction in his tone was very obvious, "This damn way Has the door ever been opened even once? He built such a big torture room and enjoyed all the fun inside, but ordered us to guard outside. Don't even think about touching that succubus paladin, I dare Bet, she will either become Urgog's prison, and she will look aloof when she sees us; or she will be cut into hundreds of pieces like other captives and discharged from that dirty sewer... ..."
