Chapter 53: Hantrek

Arthur soon found an iron door leading underground - although the above-ground part was severely damaged, the underground part was generally well preserved.

Arthur pushed open the iron door, and the door hinges corroded by time made a harsh "creaking" sound. Behind the door was a deep and dark corridor. Because it had not been maintained for a long time, the corridor was seriously damaged, with water stagnating in many places, and even moss growing. The sound of dripping water seemed a bit creepy in such a deep environment.

Arthur gestured with his hands and said in very poor Central Plains Mandarin: "

Qi Xuansu's three days of preparation came in handy. Only he could understand what Arthur wanted to express, which was one of the reasons why Zhang Yuelu brought him in.

Qi Xuansu explained to Zhang Yuelu and Lingquanzi: "He meant that this

Lingquanzi flicked his finger, and a talisman turned into a burning flame, like a guiding light, floating into the corridor. The fireball had not gone out, indicating that the ventilation structure of the tunnel had not failed and there was no methane in it.

Several people followed the flames into the tunnel. The tunnel here was quite spacious and could accommodate four people walking side by side without being crowded. It was about ten feet high, enough for an adult man to jump in the tunnel.

There was an unpleasant smell in the tunnel, but the four people didn't care. The three men didn't care. They were all people who often walked outside and had long been accustomed to it. But Zhang Yuelu used to be in Yujing and rarely experienced such an environment. At this time, his face did not change, which showed that he was tenacious and his achievements today could not be explained by a gifted talent.

At the end of the tunnel was a small hall located underground, which was the place where the monks rested as Arthur said.

At this time, Zhang Yuelu stopped, with purple air flowing in his eyes. At the same time, he raised his hand to signal several people to stop and said, "There is an ambush."

Before he finished speaking, two blood shadows shot out from the shadows and headed straight for Qi Xuansu, who had the weakest cultivation.

Qi Xuansu felt the fishy wind blowing in his face, thinking that these criminals also knew how to pick on the weak, but he did not stop moving, rolling to dodge and drawing the sword in one go.

Qi Xuansu dodged the sneak attack of the two blood shadows while pulling out the "Execution" behind him, and cut one of the blood shadows in half.

The blood shadow was cut in half by Qi Xuansu, but it did not die. Instead, it wailed and wanted to be reunited. The other blood shadow rushed towards Qi Xuansu again.

At this moment, Arthur stretched out one hand forward, and a strong white light shot out from his palm, and the two blood shadows immediately turned into green smoke.

Arthur looked at Qi Xuansu and said seriously: "Qi, they are not human. You can't use the method of killing people."

Qi Xuansu put the "Execution" back into the sheath behind his back, and pulled out the "Ziwu" and asked: "Where is the peach wood sword?"

Arthur shook his head: "Silver sword, it will work. Magic, it will work too."

Qi Xuansu was a little helpless. When making the plan, Zhang Yuelu and others completely ignored this. Lingquanzi was good at magic, and Zhang Yuelu had a semi-immortal object, which was equivalent to a sub-artifact in the words of the Western Continent. It was a hundred times stronger than any silver sword, and it was not considered at all. Qi Xuansu did not expect Zhang Yuelu to suddenly decide to let him come together, so he did not mention it.

Qi Xuansu had to put away the "Ziwu" and reached out to press the hilt of the short sword at his waist.

This was a relic left to him by his master. It was a top-grade spiritual object, and he would not use it casually.

The group entered the round hall. In addition to the corridor they came in, there were two roads connected here.

After Arthur checked around, he judged based on his experience: "Left, storage. Right, dungeon."

Zhang Yuelu said: "I'll check the storage room first."

After that, she walked in front, and the other three followed behind her.

The passage leading to the storage room was short and soon reached the end, but the whole corridor was filled with an lingering smell of blood, which made the four people have some bad expectations. After pushing open a slightly rotten wooden door, the scene in front of them made the four people's faces change.

There were dried corpses piled up inside, and the corpses were grayish white, like completely dried bark, with no flesh and blood on the body, only skin and bones.

The blood of the dead gathered into a small pool of blood, showing a black and red color.

Zhang Yuelu's tone was slightly cold: "Do they regard this place as their own 'granary'?"

"I'm afraid, yes." Arthur nodded.

Zhang Yuelu didn't say anything, just waved to Lingquanzi.

Lingquanzi understood what he meant. After the four of them left the place, he took out a fire talisman and threw it in. In a blink of an eye, the whole room was filled with orange-red flames. What was even more magical was that no matter how raging the fire inside was, the outside was not affected at all, and there was not even a trace of smoke.

The four returned to the round hall and entered the road leading to the dungeon. However, Lingquanzi's flame was ineffective here. It was extinguished immediately after entering the corridor.

Arthur raised his right hand, and five balls of light floated out from his fingertips, illuminating the entire corridor.

According to Arthur himself, he was a holy warrior who could wear armor and fight in close combat, and could also use spells. Qi Xuansu understood that he was similar to a Qi Refiner.

This corridor went all the way down, and the four people's footsteps occasionally made clear splashing sounds in the puddles. In the silent environment, it was particularly clear, which made ordinary people shudder.

But the four of them were indifferent. Qi Xuansu whispered: "According to Arthur, this group of monsters are good at using illusions. Will they..."

Zhang Yuelu, who was walking in front, said: "As long as the person who casts the spell is not a celestial being, he will not be able to hide from my 'immortal qi-watching technique', so don't worry."

Lingquanzi added: "It is very difficult to create an illusion with human power alone, and it is difficult to last long. We must rely on the advantages of the terrain. We blocked the earth's qi in advance and released the yin qi, also to prevent illusions."

The four of them soon came to the end of the corridor, where there was an iron gate blocking the road.

Arthur rushed forward without hesitation, and the iron gate fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up a circle of dust.

The dungeon behind the door occupies a large area, even larger than the castle on the ground. The light is very dim, half of it is illuminated by Arthur's light ball, and the other half is still in pitch black.

The next moment, countless red spots of light lit up in the darkness, which were pairs of blood eyes.

Almost at the same time, countless blood arrows shot towards the four people.

Zhang Yuelu finally took action, and with just a wave of his sleeve, he swept all the blood arrows shot at the four people aside.

All I could hear was the sound of "hissing" all around. These blood arrows actually corroded the stone ground and walls into pits.

At this moment, a burst of applause suddenly sounded, and a young man slowly walked out of the darkness. He had a typical Western Continent appearance, with a slightly pale face, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and silver hair draped softly on his shoulders.

"This is really a very powerful method." The young man said in the Central Plains Mandarin. He was not only handsome, but also had a deep and magnetic voice, and his manners were even more polite.

Zhang Yuelu asked directly: "Who are you?"

"This beautiful lady, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Hantrick, Hantrick Ravno, Viscount." The young man kept his left foot still, with his right leg pulled back and stretched, forming a slightly smaller bow step, with his right hand pressed on his chest, his left hand raised diagonally upward, his upper body slightly leaning forward, his head lowered, and his chin touching his chest - a standard Western Continent court etiquette.

Zhang Yuelu obviously couldn't understand this kind of etiquette, and pulled the corner of her mouth expressionlessly: "Viscount?"

Arthur stuttered: "No, noble. Viscount, return to the truth."

Qi Xuansu said: "Old Ya means that these monsters have no titles. The so-called titles are equivalent to our realm divisions. Viscount is probably equivalent to our return to the truth stage."

"Interesting." Zhang Yuelu said.

The next moment, Zhang Yuelu appeared in front of Hantrick out of thin air, with five fingers like hooks, directly piercing Hantrick's face.

A Taoist priest from Bishan Temple died in this way.

Hantrick thought he had overestimated Zhang Yuelu, but he didn't expect that he still underestimated Zhang Yuelu. He couldn't avoid it and was pierced in the face by Zhang Yuelu's five fingers.

There was a five-color true qi flowing on Zhang Yuelu's five fingers, which was the "Five Qi Smoke Net". Then she exerted force with five fingers and directly crushed Hantrick's head into a ball of blood mist.

Qi Xuansu's eyelids twitched slightly, and he felt a chill on his back. If one day Zhang Yuelu knew his true identity and knew that he was lying to her, what would happen to him?

Qi Xuansu didn't dare to think about it.

Hantrick didn't die immediately, and still stood up. A low voice came out from his chest: "This is not a ladylike demeanor."

As soon as the voice fell, a brand new head popped out of Hantrick's chest again, exactly the same as the head crushed by Zhang Yuelu, with blood flowing on the silver hair and cheeks, which was extremely scary.

Zhang Yuelu was not afraid, but was a little surprised: "Isn't his head a weakness?"

Arthur said: "Heart!"

Zhang Yuelu still had five fingers like hooks, but this time he changed to directly insert Hantrick's heart.

At this time, Hantrick no longer dared to be careless, and his figure retreated backwards, and a rolling blood mist surged around him, covering his figure.

However, he did not expect that Zhang Yuelu possessed the "Immortal Qi-Seeing Technique" and could see through all kinds of tangible things. This blood mist was not even a sleight of hand for her, and she found Hantrick in an instant.

Hantrick felt a chill in his heart, and at the critical moment, he barely avoided the chest area, but was still grabbed by Zhang Yuelu on the right shoulder.

Although the "Five Qi Smoke Net" is a defensive method, in Zhang Yuelu's hands, it can also be used for offense, just like a shield hitting the enemy.

This grab completely shattered Hantrick's shoulder, and his entire right arm also drooped softly.

Even a warrior like Xu Kou had his arm twisted off by Zhang Yuelu, so how could Hantrick resist?
