Chapter 1419 Memories of the Old Bard

"In the beginning, that's exactly what happened."

Old Nick's eyes became more and more blurred, and the soft light reflected on his face, making him seem to have returned to the dark and damp cave of monsters.

"At that time, under the leadership of two elite mercenaries, although the mutant black steel spiders that appeared in the lair and the sticky spider webs everywhere did cause us some trouble, that was all."

"Until we cleared the obstacles all the way and reached the deepest part of the lair, the only injured member of the team was just a reckless archer whose legs were entangled in spider webs and accidentally fell down."

"In the end, after a not-so-thrilling battle, we successfully eliminated the leader of the Black Steel Spider and completely destroyed the entire nest."

"Just when we buried the corpses of several local villagers who had been devoured on the spot, were about to confirm whether there were any survivors snatched away by the monsters, and were about to leave the lair, something unexpected happened. and things.”

Listening to what Old Nick said attentively, everyone couldn't help but become more serious. It seems that this should be the beginning of everything.

"In the Black Steel Spider's storage room, the villain accidentally found an ancient portal."

There was a trace of regret in Old Nick's old eyes, and he continued to describe.

"That portal should have been there originally, but it was just because it was too long ago that it lost its original function, but the outline of the magic circle engraved on the ground is still clearly visible."

"At the beginning, neither the villain nor the other mercenaries around knew the specific function of the magic circle. It was not until the villain tentatively injected a ray of magic power into the long-dormant magic circle that the teleportation was resumed. The activation of the door was like igniting a firewood that had been extinguished for a long time.”

At this point, Old Nick's face became even more regretful, and he sighed heavily: "If the villain hadn't listened to his teammates and tried to activate the portal, or simply hadn't discovered the magic circle, none of this would have happened. ”

Looking at Old Nick's remorseful look, Lei Xiao, who knew he could not understand the other person's mood at the moment, did not say any words to comfort him. He just silently patted the other person's thin shoulder, and then motioned to Xiaoyue to pour him a cup of hot tea.

"I would like to thank Your Majesty very much for the tea!"

Holding the steaming cup of tea, Old Nick's mood regained some stability and he began to continue describing.

"The villain still clearly remembers that deep in the dark and humid cave, when the ancient portal with a deep gray light shining all over and leading to nowhere suddenly appeared in front of the villain and the other mercenaries. Everyone was stunned at first, and then cheered."

"You must know that no matter in any legendary poem or in a well-known hero story, behind the strange portal there must be countless treasures, long-lost magic weapons, or extremely powerful skill scrolls, and No matter what kind of wealth it is, it is a wealth that ordinary mercenaries like villains cannot achieve in their lifetime."

"So, without much discussion, the villain and the other mercenaries couldn't wait to decide to go inside to find out. And this is where the nightmare really begins."

Having said this, Old Nick looked at Old Gray sheepishly, and said with a look of shame on his face: "Sorry, Sir, according to the mercenary rules, when you discover such unknown portals or strange ancient ruins, you should report it. Give it to the guild, and then the guild will send a team of senior experts to assist in the exploration. After all, ancient ruins are often accompanied by unpredictable dangers and challenges, but the villain and his party..."

"Old Nick, there is also a rule in the mercenary code, that is, in an emergency, we are obliged to eliminate any unknown risks to ensure the safety of nearby villages. I believe you also have this consideration."

Hui Lao nodded slightly and said, "Please continue talking."

After thanking Old Gray, Old Nick's description sounded again.

"With great excitement, I followed the team into the portal. Before I could recall the wonderful lightness when I crossed the threshold, I found myself in front of a strange underground ancient ruins."

"The ancient ruins are extremely huge. Even the magic light ball that the villain is good at can only illuminate a small part of it. The rest of the place is completely dark, and there is no end as far as the eye can see."

"Moreover, the height of this underground space is also extremely exaggerated. Even the direct signal flare magic cannot fully reach it. It is at least four to five hundred meters high."

Hearing Old Nick say this, a hint of deep thought appeared on the gray old face, and he nodded thoughtfully and said: "Is the cave wall at the top so high? In addition, it is connected through a teleportation gate, I am afraid that the ruins should be located at Is it deep underground?”

"What the president said is absolutely true. Although the villain's strength is limited, his perception of magic power is comparable to that of a third-level magician. According to the villain's perception, the earth attribute energy particles in this underground space are extremely abundant. There should be a path Earth-attributed magic ley lines are surging nearby."

Old Nick nodded heavily and continued: "However, the villain and his group did not pay attention to these places at all at that time. They just put up an exploration formation with excitement and began to move towards the location of the ancient ruins."

"However, just when the villain and his party walked out about a hundred meters with great expectations and before approaching the main entrance of the ruins, an unexpected and terrible change occurred."

At this point, Old Nick swallowed involuntarily, and his body trembled uncontrollably again. Apparently he recalled something terrible, and even his lips turned purple.

Upon seeing this, Lei Xiao immediately signaled Xiaoyue for treatment. After a while, the other party calmed down again.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty!"

Old Nick bowed respectfully to Lei Xiao, his eyes becoming blurry again.

"Without any warning, an underground river not far from the villain and his group suddenly began to surge, as if it was boiling instantly."

"Before the villain and his party could react, with the fierce surge and bubbling, the originally clear river seemed to have been flooded with countless silt, making it instantly turbid."

"Immediately afterwards, something terrible happened. The turbid water became thicker and thicker, and began to squirm and merge with each other in an indescribable rhythm, as if it was gestating some kind of life."

"This process is extremely fast, but it happens in the blink of an eye. When the villain came back to his senses from this surprising scene, the squirming turbid fluid actually started a strange crystallization, and soon became extremely Smooth and delicate, like polished marble or new skin.”

Old Nick's face became paler again, and he continued to describe with a shudder.

"With the terrifying squirming and continuous crystallization of the strange turbid fluid, countless terrifying brown spherical objects suspended in mid-air began to condense and form one after another!"

"Those scary brown spherical objects are all about the size of skulls, and their surfaces are extremely smooth and flat. Their entire bodies are in an indescribable translucent state, and there is a turbid brown liquid or brown energy flow that is surging crazily."

"With the crazy surging of the liquid inside, some weird crystal clusters can be vaguely seen in the center, rhythmically rhythmic, like some kind of organ. This undoubtedly shows that these weird things are obviously a terrifying and terrifying thing. Mysterious life form."

Old Nick has been shrouded in the soft golden light cast by Xiaoyue. He trembled and drank all the tea in the cup, and then added tremblingly: "In short, those things look like, like yes……"

"Like a weird eyeball?"

Before Old Nick could finish speaking, Hui Lao couldn't help blurting out and asked: "Old Nick, are they like some kind of weird eyeballs suspended in mid-air?"

"President, how did you know?!"

Old Nick was stunned for a moment, then kept nodding his head and affirmed: "Yes, they do look like weird eyeballs!"

"Your Majesty, is this..."

After receiving Old Nick's confirmation, Hui Lao quickly turned to Lei Xiao, his face full of solemnity.

During the battle in the dragon's lair, whether it was the parasitic puppet dragons or the opponents very similar to what Old Nick described, they undoubtedly left an indelible mark on the old president who had been fighting beside Lei Xiao. Very impressed.

After all, at that time, these extremely difficult opponents almost killed us.

"Yes, although the color and location are different, it must be "Eclipse" without a doubt. "

Lei Xiao nodded slightly and expressed what Hui Lao was thinking.

Hearing the sound, not only Old Gray, but also Ariel, Gale and Kelly, who had also heard about the battle at that time, took a breath of the cold air, with extremely solemn expressions on their faces.

Lei Xiao also took a deep breath slowly, nodded to Old Nick and said, "Sir Nick, please continue."

"As you command, Your Majesty."

Noticing that the atmosphere was becoming more solemn, Old Nick quickly tried his best to calm down and fell into memories again.

"There were more and more of those weird brown eyeballs, and they were densely packed. They soon surrounded the villain and the group of people who were caught off guard. Waves of unspeakable hostility began to surge out from the other party's body, which made people stunned. It feels like falling into an ice cave.”

"Facing such a strange emergency and a sudden and terrifying opponent, the mercenaries were stunned and quickly surrounded the villain and the archer in the center of the team. The two third-level elite mercenaries were both With a loud shout, they shot away with all their strength, choosing to confront the opponent head-on in an attempt to carve out a bloody path for the team. "

"However, what happened next made everyone present tremble."

"The moment two elite mercenaries holding sharp blades were about to approach those brown eyeballs, light flashed all over the opponent's body, and countless long brown tentacle-like tentacles shot out from the lower part of the body in an instant, which was overwhelming."

"Those brown beards moved extremely fast. Before the two elite mercenaries could react, they were swallowed up in them, as if forming a huge cocoon."

"I have to say, that was the scariest sight this little person has ever seen."

"After the giant cocoon was formed, those roots began to dance crazily in mid-air, as if they were extremely happy. The crazy beat and rhythm, plus each root was covered with deep and complex weird lines. The villain was so frightened that he felt dizzy and almost fainted. He could even feel a warm current flowing downward between his trembling legs. "

"However, the villain finally forced himself to cheer up, gritted his teeth and chose to continue attacking with several other mercenaries around him in an attempt to rescue his teammates."

"But no matter whether it is the villain's elemental bombs, arrows, or sword blades, they are unable to cause any harm to these sudden and terrifying opponents, and the opponents do not fight back, just like playing with a few ants, until the villain I saw the two giant cocoons shriveling up very quickly, and finally only a pool of black water was left flowing out."

Old Nick's body trembled unconsciously again, and he gritted his teeth and continued to describe.

"Immediately afterwards, the other mercenaries around the villain were also entangled by crazy long beards. The hysterical screams and the sound of squirming mucus from the roots kept lingering in the villain's ears, until finally only the villain was left. People themselves.”

"Just when the villain was about to be entangled by the roots, those brown eyeballs suddenly stopped moving, as if they were tired of the previous attack method."

"This time, as all the brown eyeballs turned towards the villain, small white dots began to emerge from the opponent's body, as if the eyeballs appeared without pupils."

"The moment the villain looked at these eyeballs in panic, an inexplicable chill that he had never felt before suddenly rose from his heart, as if all the blood in his body was frozen instantly. It was a kind of bone-deep and irresistible fear. The strange things around him The eyeball seems to have become infinitely larger, while the villain is shrinking infinitely, like an ant. "

"They seem to see through everything about the villain, they seem to be the supreme existence, they can crush the villain to death at any time, they despise the villain, they look down upon..."

Old Nick's body began to tremble violently, so much so that even the chair he was sitting on was shaking wildly.

"Okay Sir Nick, there is no need to describe this feeling, but you finally got through it, didn't you? Your bravery is enough to make us all proud."

Lei Xiao interrupted the other party's words in time, first comforted the other party, and then looked at each other with Hui Lao.

The feeling described by Old Nick is naturally the kind of fear beyond death.

During the battle in the dragon's lair, I still clearly remember this feeling of panic that is difficult to describe in words.

At that time, not to mention the fifth-level powerhouses, even half-step sixth-level powerhouses such as Louise were trembling involuntarily, and it was almost difficult to think, which can be seen from this.

And Old Nick's strength was only at the second level of peak, so it's not surprising that he became crazy from this.

"But how on earth did he escape from the hands of those "eclipses"? And where did you hear the term "cataclysm"? "

Thinking of this in his mind, a trace of doubt emerged on Lei Xiao's face. (End of chapter)
