Chapter 295 Temporary Cooperation

In a series of underground caves formed by the erosion of flowing water, Curt, Liqi and the woman who didn't know her name lowered her footsteps and moved forward carefully.

Even if Curt wanted to ask her name, the only response she received was silent. After Liqi simply used spells and the herbs that she didn't know how to describe, she changed her previous provocative attitude and became quiet.

It was not just silence. She glanced at Liqi who had removed the spell of restraint and walked quietly to the depths of the cave. Although she did not signal the two to follow, her intentions were already revealed very clearly - since she chose to escape into this complex cave, she naturally should know how to escape from this place - so Curt and Liqi followed her and walked towards the depths of the dark cave.

Curt didn't know if there was the entry "gratitude" in the dictionary in the hearts of the members of the True Eye, but they who preached "the honor that the spell deserves" all day long may not want them to be useless. No, wrong. Even if the other party's purpose was just to use each other.

At least he had taken away all the knives on her body to avoid her use to make some strange small moves. However, this behavior almost made Curt question whether this woman usually had a total of thirteen knives of different sizes and shapes that were handed to Curt with expressionless expression.

In order to reduce the outflow of information, she tried to avoid verbal communication with the two, and just led them out of the underground passage that looked like a maze with actions. Although her attitude still seemed quite unfriendly, this might be the way she used to repay Liqi to treat her wounds.

"By the way, do you want to eat something?"

Just as the woman walked forward silently, Curt handed a piece of dry food to her: "Although it is almost the same as mud and has a musty smell, it is still qualified as food. After all, no matter what, it is qualified to fill your stomach."

It was the dry food collected from the dead little monster - a few pieces of dry bread that were as hard as stones. Not only did it look like it, but it wasn't much better to chew it. Even if you peel off the outermost layer of skin and then close the water taken from the river and chew it together, it would be difficult to swallow.

It is also conceivable that the quality is poor. After all, the little monsters will not pick on the food they are rationed. In addition, there are a few pieces of dry and air-dried meat, which are not much better than those dry breads, and the strange color is completely invisible to see which animal meat is made of.

"No, who knows if these 'foods' are mixed in with strange things - especially the 'food' provided to these dirty monsters." Women are reluctant to look at the food, "Maybe these meats are made from the remaining parts of the experimental products."

Her voice was very soft, as if she was still suppressing her emotions, but Curt could still reveal some disdain from her words. Logically speaking, since these little monsters were ordered to be enemies of the True Eye, it was not surprising that she hated them or even hated them.

But Curt still felt that her reaction was a bit abnormal, especially the sentence "made from the rest of those experimental products" was full of disdain. It seemed that she knew very well who was controlling these little monsters, and that her relationship with them was quite bad.

"Is that true?"

Although he found a lot of possible things in the other party's tone, Curt also knew that this was just his own guess. In other words, even if he wanted to use this to tact out of a woman's mouth, if the other party didn't want to communicate with him at all, it would have no meaning.

So he tore off a small piece of dried meat and threw it into his mouth to chew it. The rough piece of meat was torn between his lips and teeth into fibers like wood chips. I don’t know how much salt was used. The dried meat was so salty that it was so exaggerated that it didn’t feel the taste of the meat itself at all.

"Phhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Curt drank half a bottle of water in big mouth. These utensils found from the little monsters were always handy in some inexplicable places. In the end, when he finally washed all the smell in his mouth with the water, there was still a lot of bitter smell left on the tip of his tongue.

"Well, the right choice for you to eat is really terrible. This thing is not prepared for human tongues at all." He said while coughing, "But the meat should be pork or chicken, and the most important thing is the meat of monsters - at least not the meat of humans."

I don’t know if it was joking or acting, but Curt seriously told the people around him what he thought. It sounded like she had really eaten human flesh. But whether it was Liqi or the women around him, the response he responded to him was just an idiot’s gaze.

Liqi seemed to have become accustomed to Curt's words and deeds. She just sighed softly and stopped expressing anything. She once again collected the materials of interest. A large amount of precious materials grew in the caves in the abyss, and these things alone were worth the "fare".

The woman walking beside Curt frowned for no reason. She stopped and watched suspiciously between Curt and Liqi's faces. However, although the two of the Ryanster family looked not very healthy in their faces, there was nothing worth caring about except these.

In the end, after no matter how she observed it, she had no choice but to continue to walk forward and lead Curt and Liqi to the exit of the "maze".

After about several hours of action, they had already walked into a hovering downward space. Looking left and right, it was just a mediocre hole, but there was a diagonal gate on the bottom wall connecting a cave that led to unknown where it was.

This is a secret stronghold built by the Eye of True Vision, so it is not surprising to find some traces of external force processing. In previous observations, Curt also discovered some patterns similar to symbolic texts. In this way, the final position of these traces is undoubtedly this gate.

The solid stone on the rock wall is carved into a geometric door frame. The two protruding vertical door posts can only serve as decorative functions and are carefully carved with decorative patterns. Each separate side of the door post is carved with a complex pattern. They seem to be formed after recombining according to the prototypes of some ancient characters, leaving some magic power that is almost lost.

But what was supposed to be the gate is now nothing left. Judging from the structure of the door post, there should have been a gate that should not be made of metal in the past. Looking at the traces left on the door, it may be a mechanism door that uses spell control.

No matter how it looked, it was now empty, but there was a vague wind blew from the cave behind it. Although it was inconspicuous, these winds coming from afar were enough to prove that this road led to the outside world, which made Curt feel much more relaxed.

"Curter, above!"

Just as the woman wanted to take them to the next level, a creature that had been staying above suddenly rushed towards them. It was a burly monster with red eyes. Although its body had a structure similar to that of humans, it was connected to insect-like joints and limbs. Behind it, there were also a pair of bat-like wings, but it was not enough to support its huge body to fly.

The moment it landed on the ground, it stretched out its forelimbs with sharp hook claws and grabbed the woman standing beside Curt. Although she had not yet recovered her body's ability to move, she wanted to avoid it before she could take action and was caught in her head and hung up as if she was being hanged.

Not only the women around him, the monster's other hand swept towards Curt's waist and abdomen like a whip, but he hid as if he had expected. He glanced at the hook claw swept over his head, and rushed into the monster's arms as quickly as possible.

clang!

At this moment, two silver rays of light reflected the sunlight from afar, drawing an arc in the cave to stab the monster's exposed abdomen without any defense. The knife "borrowed" from the woman's hand was like the two teeth of a wild beast, stabbing the enemy's vitals from Curt's hand.

Blood splattered everywhere, from the abdomen with only black and gray fur to the chest covered with scale-shaped "armor", which was torn apart by Curt with the power of his body. He was unable to mobilize enough magic to strengthen the blade, but he left a huge wound on the monster with the power of the metal itself alone.

"howl--"

The monster's body, which was hit hard, wanted to tilt backwards and let out a shrill cry into the sky. Perhaps because of the loss of power due to the pain, it had to untie the restraints of the hook claws on the female body, and immediately retreated a few steps backwards to the rear to get a distance from Cott.

On the other side, the woman who was thrown out was not so relaxed. She was thrown roughly at the wall beside her and then made a low and dull sound. It seemed that her head hit a raised rock, and red blood flowed down from her forehead in an instant.

"Ahem!—damn it's this guy again."

The old wound was not healed and new ones were added, but she quickly stood up and wiped away the blood flowing from her forehead with her hands. She looked at the retreating monster with hatred. If her physical condition had not been too strong to fight again, several arrows would have shot at the opponent's vital points.

But she probably doesn't have the ability now. Her hand holding the bow turned into an unnatural direction, and was undoubtedly twisted in the contact just now. The bow that shot a group of small monsters has become a useless decoration at this time, because the user even struggled to pick it up. (To be continued...)
