Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"I can feel that woman's breath still lingering in the air in that direction." Hailis said.

"I think we should contact the president first," West said.

Judging from the previous situation, Heilisi's mother, the Black Witch, was able to summon ten ghost ships.

This strength is evident. At least any one of them may not be able to deal with it.

If they meet a black witch while separated from Chen Zhao, they will be very passive.

So we should still find Chen Zhao first.

"In which direction did the president go?" West asked.

"That direction." Raisa said.

"They are in the same direction as Hailis's mother, that is to say, they are at the front and rear feet, so we will also go in this direction."

…

"Ah..." Someone in the team suddenly screamed.

The team instantly became nervous and looked back at the man.

I saw half of the man's body sinking into the ground.

Channing Layton frowned and asked someone to pull his hand out of the ground.

However, when people came up, the hole in the ground attracted Channing Layton's attention again.

Because it seemed to be hollow below, Channing Layton looked into the hole.

Although there was insufficient light below, he could still see clearly.

There are countless skeletons buried underneath, including adults and children. There are probably hundreds of skeletons layered on top of each other in a cavity of more than ten square meters.

Channing Layton discovered that there was a cracked stone wall on the edge of the cave, and there were gravels under the stone wall.

The back of the stone wall should be empty.

"Go down and take a look." Channing Layton said.

One of the men put on a searchlight hat and jumped down the hole from the zipline.

The man glanced at the countless bones at his feet. Every time he took a step, the ground would creak.

"Go in that direction and try the stone wall." Channing Layton stood above and commanded his men.

The men came to the stone wall and knocked on the stone wall with the hammer they carried. A hollow sound came from the stone wall.

"Boss, the back is empty."

"Knock it open and take a look." Channing Layton said.

The men began to increase their strength and crack the stone wall open.

The pieces peeled off layer by layer, revealing a passage.

"Boss, it's a passage, very wide."

Do you want to go in and explore? Channing Layton hesitated.

"Alger, go call Zoron and Emilyka over and discuss it with them."

Not long after, Zoren and Emilyka came over.

"Did you find anything?"

"See for yourselves, this is what we found."

"Hey, this seems to be the passage to the ancient altar. I didn't expect you to find this passage." Zoron was a little surprised.

"What ancient altar?"

"This ancient altar is the altar used in the massacre, and the direction we are going to now is the ancient altar."

"In other words, the black witch's destination is the ancient altar?"

"Yes, my ancestors have been studying the plans of the San Xico family for generations, but they have never gotten any useful clues. However, we feel that the San Xico family may have left something behind in the ancient altar."

"Then which way is faster to the ancient altar?" Channing Layton asked.

"The passage to the ancient altar is a passage for nobles. Of course, the road below is faster, but according to family records, this road is not that safe. Some institutions are set up to prevent intruders. I don't know how many thousands of people there are. Will these institutions still be usable in a year’s time?”

"These ancient institutions are nothing to worry about." Channing Layton said calmly: "And we'd better prevent the black witch from finding that thing to avoid any problems, so we rush to the ancient altar as soon as possible, if we can get the thing first , it’s also more beneficial to us, what do you think?”

"I agree." Both Zoron and Emilyka accepted Channing Layton's proposal.

Everyone filed into this ancient passage.

"Pay attention to that Asian man." After entering the passage, Channing Layton said to the men around him: "If he makes the slightest move, just shoot him."

Although there was a distance, Chen Zhao could still hear their conversation.

But Chen Zhao didn't bother to argue with them.

"Who are these skeletons?" Alger asked.

"It should be the civilians who hid here during the massacre, but they didn't dare to enter the passage, so they crowded here."

"No, they were trapped and killed." Chen Zhao interrupted: "With such a small space, there is no way to hide hundreds of people, unless they are all killed and dumped here."

Zollun glanced at Chen Zhao and said nothing more.

At this moment, fierce gunfire came from the front.

Alger, Zoran and Emilyka immediately quickened their pace and walked to the front of the team.

"Uncle, what's wrong?"

Channing Layton frowned, his face showing a bit of solemnity.

There was a body in the passage not far away.

This corpse is quite strange, and it is impossible to tell what kind of creature it is.

There is no head, no tail, no front and back, only symmetrical limbs with symmetrical claws on the limbs.

It's not big, probably about the size of an orange cat.

After being shot, his limbs were spread out on the ground, and his body looked very light.

"What is this?" Alger asked doubtfully.

"Dark minions, monsters created by the black witch. According to my family genealogy, the black witch can summon thousands of dark minions. They don't need to eat anything, and they are completely obedient to the black witch. They can be on land , can also fight in the water, can cling to walls or treetops, hide in the darkness, and then carry out sneak attacks when they are not prepared. One or two dark minions may not pose much of a threat, but if there are a large number of dark minions, then Even an army can be overwhelmed," Zoren said.

"What a disgusting magical creature." Alger kicked the corpse of the dark minion on the ground.

Chen Zhao stepped forward, picked up the dark minions, and looked left and right.

The minions of darkness in their mouths are also called 'headless' in hell, a very delicious food.

It's not that they can't eat, their mouths are underneath their bodies, just like an octopus.

But this kind of thing cannot be cooked in ordinary ways.

As for how to cook it specifically, I’d better wait until I have time to contact the handsome guy and ask about how to cook it.

"Can you give me this?"

"What are you going to use it for?" Alger frowned and asked.

"Eat." Chen Zhao said matter-of-factly.

Everyone looked at Chen Zhao with strange eyes.

This guy must be going crazy with hunger.

Do you dare to eat this kind of thing?

Isn't he afraid of eating himself to death?

"If you want it, just take it." Alger said casually.
