The Wonderful Journey of Reincarnated Black Eclipse

This is of course... In fact, before today, he had never seen a human corpse at all.

However, in the past few months, he has changed from thinking to experience. Currently, his psychological quality is very strong, and he doesn't have much reaction when he sees the corpse.

But the blond girl couldn't do it.

"Woo..." She turned pale and couldn't help covering her mouth.

As an imperial princess, she was pampered and pampered since she was a child. Even if she didn't have the 'noble disease', where has she seen such a scene?

Lu Xiu pulled her into his arms and asked her to bury her head in his arms, so as not to look at the terrible picture, and at the same time patted her on the back to express comfort.

He was also full of doubts at this time.

what is happening?

There are too many of these corpses, obviously they cannot be villagers—could it be possible that innocent villagers can pass by in a group?In this world where monsters are rampant, ordinary civilians are very careful about safety, and occasionally there will be one or two dead people, and it is absolutely impossible to form a group to die.

This number, generally speaking, is either a 'caravan' or a 'hunting group of hunters'.

Caravans can be ruled out first.Because caravans have always only traveled on the main road, and if they were caravans, there should be a large amount of goods, which Lu Xiu did not see.

As for the hunter hunting group, it is possible.

However, so many people form a hunting group together?

Lu Xiu couldn't help but recall that when he was still in the Beruna Forest, he was once organized by the Beruna Village to crusade with hundreds of people.

At that time, he was also merciful and didn't kill anyone.

"If it's a hunting group, then the monsters they have to deal with will not be weaker than me. No, wait."

Lu Xiu found that many corpses were wearing uniform armor.It's just that the armor on some people's corpses flew out, separated from the body and scattered on the side, so Lu Xiu failed to notice this at the first time.

"Silver-white armor. If the armor styles of so many people are so uniform, it should be standard armor. When it comes to standard armor, the first to bear the brunt... um, the royal guard?" Lu Xiu guessed a possibility.

Later, he noticed that there was a dark hole on the ground where the corpses were relatively dense.

It was about the size of three or four manhole covers, and there was a silver cover of the same shape next to it.

"...What the hell is this?"

78. What kind of protagonist is it if you don’t explore the secret realm 【Army】

Lu Xiu led the blond girl, bypassing the scattered corpses, and approached the dark hole on the ground.

Walking to the edge of the cave, Lu Xiu let go of the girl and bent down to study.

It was the silver lid that he studied first.

There are some mysterious patterns on the silver cover, which seem a bit like the 'runes' carved on weapons by people in this era, but there are some differences.The specific difference is that Lu Xiu is not a craftsman, nor is he familiar with rune weapons, so he can't say.

But taking a closer look at the silver cover, Lu Xiu thinks that the function of this thing is probably... a door panel?

The meaning of its existence should be to seal that dark hole.

As for that hole...

Lu Xiu shifted his gaze to the entrance of the cave, and with the help of the faint light penetrating into it, he saw that there was something like a staircase extending downwards in the entrance of the cave.

However, due to the weak light, Lu Xiu could only see a few steps clearly, and he didn't know what was going on further down.

To be sure, the secret here will not be simple.

This can be seen from the corpses of the suspected 'royal guards' wearing uniform standard armor around them.

"Weier, do you know these armors?"

Lu Xiu pointed to a relatively intact corpse.

Although I felt a little wronged by the girl... But now, Lu Xiu urgently needs to know the answer.

The girl looked at the corpse with some fear, avoiding those hideous images as much as possible, and only looked at the armor.

Afterwards, the girl's eyes widened: "This...these are the armor of our royal family's guard! They are members of the guard? Why, why did they die here?"

really……

Lu Xiu sighed.

These corpses are the Kingdom Guards.

It is impossible for them to die here for no reason.And the reason, most of them will fall into the things inside the hole.

At this time, Lu Xiu's brain hole as a traverser was manifested.

Combining the anime, novels, film and television dramas he has watched, he quickly imagined many possibilities.

"Perhaps, there is some kind of demon sealed in this cave; the royal guard has been guarding here. As a result, something unexpected happened in the past two days, the royal guard accidentally released the demon, and the whole army was wiped out. The evil spirit also took the opportunity to sneak away?"

"Wait, this style of painting doesn't seem right. There shouldn't be a similar setting in the world of Monster Hunter."

"Or, is there any precious treasure in this cave that needs to be guarded by the guards? Then, for some reason, this secret was leaked out, the guards were all killed, and the treasures inside were also taken away? "

"Well, this conjecture is much more reasonable than the one just now. But there is another question... If it is an important treasure, why not put it directly in the kingdom for heavy protection? No matter how you look at this place, it is a suburb outside the city. If you send it here The guards are stationed here, doesn't it feel like there is no silver 300 taels here, and it can't be protected well... the gain outweighs the loss."

"Or, there are ancient relics inside this cave. The royal family was very interested and secretly sent guards to explore, but they were killed by the relics?"

"It's not quite right... Leaving aside the strange setting of 'Ancient Ruins' in 'Ancient Era', if they really died because of the 'Ruins', then these people should die in the 'Ruins'. You didn’t even enter the entrance, so you were killed? Wait, if someone wants to make a profit and kill them after the guards open the secret passage, it’s not impossible to enter by yourself.”

"No, no, it's not right. If these people have the strength to kill the guards, they can use the guards as a vanguard to go in and try to die. There is no need to kill them after opening the entrance. No, maybe these guards are He was killed after coming out! But if this is the case, who can have such strength?"

Thoughts flashed through Lu Xiu's mind one by one, but were quickly rejected by him one by one.

Only the last idea is more realistic, but there are still many doubts.

The only thing that is certain is that the things inside this dark hole are likely to be inseparable from the deaths of these guards.

"I don't know what to say about this luck." Lu Xiu shook his head.

You can encounter such a thing by falling from the sky casually, and the probability is comparable to that of a pie falling from the sky.Of course, it may also be an intentional invisible arrangement by the system.

However, this system of ours is very special. It will only provide some help at critical moments, and it is usually accompanied by cheating. Usually, it will not actively release event tasks at all.According to common sense, the normal system should send a message at this time: [Submission task: explore the dark cave entrance!Task reward: xxxx, failure penalty: xxxx] and so on, unfortunately, my system is still the same as salted fish, without any response.

"What should we do now?"

Lu Xiu couldn't help but start to think.

To be honest, this was the first time he encountered such an interesting incident.

Normally speaking, he should enter the cave now to see what secrets are inside.

There are definitely risks involved.

After all, he only has one life now, and the human avatar has no innate avatar skills, so he can't use the avatar to explore the way. If he dies, he will really die.When it is uncertain whether there is danger inside the cave, it is risky to explore rashly.

However, Lu Xiu is quite confident about his current strength.

With this physical fitness plus a whole body of equipment, as well as all kinds of messy support from the system, Lu Xiu's combat effectiveness is far superior to that of ordinary hunters.Unless there is a black dragon living in the entrance of the cave, it is no problem for him to retreat completely.

"It's decided, let's go down and take a look." Lu Xiu quickly made a decision.

Intuition told Lu Xiu that the things hidden in the dark hole might be crucial.

Perhaps, this is one of the important clues of the 'truth of the times' he explored.

Of course, there may be nothing in it.

"Wei'er, wait here for a while." Lu Xiu patted the blond girl on the shoulder and ordered, "Call me if you encounter any situation. I'll go down and have a look."

"Eh? Senior Aisha, do you want to go down?" The blond girl was stunned: "Is it okay? It may be very dangerous." With her intelligence, she can naturally see that these corpses and this dark hole are very likely Great connection.

"It's okay, I'll be careful."

ps:

The day before yesterday I dreamed that an old book related to pornography was removed from the shelves, and yesterday I dreamed that this book was removed from the shelves related to pornography.Damn it, has it become my demon to get off the shelf?

In short, the problem of removing books from the shelves is almost handled, and the update should be as usual.

79. Underground Research Institute [Army]

Holding a lamp in his hand, Lu Xiu walked slowly down the stairs.

This lamp comes from the system mall.

The system has always been more than happy to help when it comes to selling items.And Lu Xiu's system points have accumulated a lot, and there is no chance to spend them.Buying a lamp is just a drop in the bucket for him.

Relying on the light provided by the lamp, Lu Xiu could clearly see the situation along the way.

This is indeed a downward staircase passage, and judging from the conditions of the walls on both sides, the construction time of this passage is at most a few decades, and it is absolutely impossible to be an 'ancient relic'.

"Unfortunately, the system does not provide skills like 'Appraisal'. Otherwise, I would be able to know a lot of information just by appraising the surrounding environment." Lu Xiu thought with some regret.

He held a lamp in his left hand, and a throwing dagger [Silver Sigh] with a third-level heavy rune in his right hand.

Facing the possible crisis, Lu Xiu did not relax his vigilance at all.

Although in theory, since this is not a dangerous ancient ruin, the possibility of danger in it is not great.The person who killed the royal guard probably left here long ago.

But when it was time to be cautious, Lu Xiu followed his heart decisively, and would never go out of his way just because he felt that he had a great advantage.

After walking down a distance of tens of meters, the stairs stopped appearing, and the passage changed into a parallel extension.

"It looks like it's an underground space, and...it's bigger than I originally imagined." Lu Xiu walked a certain distance along the passage, and finally stood in front of a fork.

He originally thought that there should be a 'basement' below.The most connected by the steps is a small space.

But now it seems that here seems to be an 'underground base'.

Because standing at the fork in the road, Lu Xiu looked towards the passages on the left and right sides and could clearly see that there were rooms on both sides of these passages.And there seems to be a fork at the end of the passage. If we analogize it in turn, these passages extend in all directions and form a network structure with each other. For those who are not familiar with the terrain here, it is no different from a maze.

Lu Xiu carefully observed that the structure and layout of these rooms made people easily think of a kind of architecture.

graduate School.

"...underground research institute?" Lu Xiu frowned slightly, the setting seemed a little familiar.

I didn't expect people in ancient times to be so good at playing.

"If this is a research institute, then what are they secretly researching?"

It is worthy of the kingdom's attention, and even deliberately opened up a secret underground research institute for research. There must be something extraordinary in this research institute.

Lu Xiu randomly picked two rooms to open, went in and searched around, but found nothing.
