Chapter 73 Little Thief and Ghoul
It is said that when the dungeon was first discovered, how to enter the inner city was the biggest problem for the first group of adventurers.
Facing the high walls above 200 meters and the walls with almost no gaps, most people felt deeply despair. A small team surrounded the city wall for a whole lot, but was surprised to find that there was no place similar to the city gate on it.
How is this possible? Didn’t the guys who built this place think about how they would come out?!
However, the fact is so bizarre that the entire city wall is integrated and there is not even a place to be considered an exit. This discovery has driven everyone crazy.
However, later, a guy with a little engineering knowledge among the adventurers pointed out that generally such super-large cities will have a corresponding sewage treatment system underground. Since the above-ground parts cannot find a way to enter, can you try to change your ideas?
His proposal received support from many people at that time, and finally, with everyone's concerted efforts, he actually found a sewage outlet.
Through this sewage outlet, the first group of adventurers successfully entered the inner city. Of course, the process in the middle was not easy.
Although it was a sewage outlet, it was not unprepared. There were still many mechanisms and traps inside. Obviously, the guy who designed this dungeon did not completely give up on his vigilance here. However, no matter what, this choice was more reliable than climbing the cliff directly. In the end, relying on the joint efforts of multiple expedition teams, he successfully cleared a route into the inner city.
And Rob and his group are now standing in front of a sewage outlet.
"There are four main ducts like this. Except for the one that was first discovered, three were discovered one after another, which basically lead to four different directions." Hansen explained, "The mechanism inside has been almost destroyed by previous adventurers. There is no danger if you can't remove some of the remaining ones that cannot be removed. Only some monsters should be careful."
"Warcraft? Do there still monsters live in the sewage pipeline?"
"Well, there wasn't one before, but then all the creatures in this city disappeared, and these sewage discharge pipes were naturally abandoned. You should know that the sewage discharge systems of large cities are a very complex network. In addition to the four main pipes, there are many branch pipes connecting each household. In short, this place is like an underground maze, like human-faced spiders, vampires, and ghouls, who like dark environments, many monsters like dark environments have settled here, so everyone must follow the people in front of them later."
Hansen raised the torch in his hand and walked into the dark hole with the old thief Edward. The others followed closely behind and followed one after another.
Although it is a sewage pipeline, after all, tens of thousands of years have passed and there is no pungent smell. Of course, it is definitely not as good as the birds singing and flowers outside. However, it is still within an acceptable range. There are often mice passing by around. These furry and dirty little things are the main guests here, and they are also the main food for monster rice recipes such as human-faced spiders and vampire bats.
Hansen didn't say a big deal. The sewage treatment system of this dungeon is very complicated. In addition to the main pipe they just entered now, there are many sub-pipes. Almost every three or four steps you can see one or two forks. Fortunately, Edward has a broken sewage pipe diagram in his hand.
This was bought by the old thief for ten silver coins in the camp, and was drawn by previous adventurers. Although most of the parts were blank, there were detailed marks on several routes entering the inner city.
The money is worth it. Without this map, you can only bump around like a headless fly when facing the dense network. You can find an exit by chance, which is undoubtedly not too easy.
The expedition team walked about half an hour in the dark and cold sewage pipes, and Hansen, the leader, suddenly made a gesture of silence.
He had just stepped on a pool of dizzy things, like vomit from a ghoul.
Judging from the degree of viscosity, it should be relatively fresh. In other words, there are likely ghouls wandering around here.
Ghouls are a kind of monster that is more troublesome. In terms of strength, single ghouls are worse than human-faced spiders. However, like the group of two-headed wolf that the team encountered in the Endless Tree Sea before, they are all living creatures. If they are not lucky, they encounter a large community where more than dozens of ghouls gather together, which is enough to become a nightmare for any expedition team.
And this time, someone was suffering.
"Help! Is there anyone? Save me!" A figure stumbled towards this side in the distance. It was a thin young man. He looked like a thief. Not far behind him, two ghouls followed him.
This is the first time Lolo has seen this legendary scavenging creature. They are about the size of a hunting dog, but they look much ugly, with no hair on their bodies, their skin tightly against the skeleton, and there seems to be no flesh and blood underneath. The dark red eyes almost bulge out of their eye sockets. The most peculiar part is their cheeks, which are not covered by skin, and their teeth are directly exposed to the air. How terrifying it is.
The guy who was running away saw Rob and others at this time, and a hint of joy appeared on his face, just like a person who fell into the water suddenly saw a small boat and rolled and crawled over.
However, the two ghouls were obviously not fuel-efficient. They had already chased the man at this moment. One of them jumped up and bit the young thief's calves. Fortunately, the pounce was flexibly flashed by the latter.
But even after this delay, another ghoul jumped up. This time, the young thief had exhausted his old power and could not avoid it. Facing the ghoul's sharp teeth, a deep despair appeared on his face.
At this critical moment of life and death, an arrow penetrated into the ghoul's eye socket.
Elf archer Baker finally couldn't help but take action!
Although this arrow failed to kill the ghoul, it knocked it away for a while and also bought precious escape time for the young thief. The lucky guy ran over quickly.
