While the magician was still fighting the serpent in the dark metal church, the demons who abandoned him had gone deeper into the city''s vast underground system. For the decision to abandon the curse crow, Karus does not regret, and he does not think that the grey wizard will really die in the hands of meat eating cotton. On the contrary, his departure can let the curse crow do not have to worry about being spied on by temporary team-mates, and can use his magic more smoothly.
However, the demons didn''t intend to go back to find the magician. Even though the grey robe didn''t care about Karus''s actions, the appearance of meat eating cotton had made the gap between them hard to mend. Instead of spending a lot of effort to maintain this fragile cooperative relationship, the demons preferred to act alone. In the same way, unlike the curse crow who wanders aimlessly underground and ends up in a metal Temple by mistake, Carus had a clear plan from the beginning.
He wanted to go all the way down through the complex pipes of the city and enter the secret that the city was trying to hide, which he had heard from his old friends, the deepest secret at the beginning of the city''s founding. As he went deeper into the corridor, the mob could feel that the passageways around him were more and more poorly constructed. When he found that there was no trace of artificial excavation on the wall at hand, instead, he was replaced by a naturally formed rock corridor. Carus knew that Lord liehammer had not deceived him.
The complex underground system of molten iron city was not built because of the dwarfism habits of the rulers. The reason why big Duke liehammer constructed such a complex underground labyrinth with his outstanding architectural talent was to cover up the passageways he found in the depths of the land. And the inhabitants of these passageways, according to the dwarves'' dictation, are monsters with serpent heads and human limbs. These creatures have an innate evil quality, and they kill many pioneers who follow the dwarves.
Now, the demons have left the stratum supervised by liechui mansion, and the passage into the darkness before him belongs to the more ancient and mysterious races. Carus doesn''t think that rat people can enter the Duke''s sewer quietly, but those snake headed people who originally lived in the depths of the earth, as long as they are willing to walk out of the gloomy passage, are very likely to become the hidden danger of molten iron city.
"Andre, that fool, is at his feet, and the dwarf does not want to look down." Looking at the recent footprints on the wall, he murmured. After all, if the serpent''s head has the same degree of heat as that of the serpent''s head, it can be seen that the temperature of the serpent''s head is the same as that of the human''s.
Now there are two choices for him to choose. Should he immediately follow the footprints and return to the dwarf''s sewer to find the snake monster that left the cave, or go against the trail and enter the world of snakeheads to see what kind of creatures live in the bottom of this prosperous city. The devil thought that his gift from the devil made him confident that he could travel freely even in the dark, and his inner desire for adventure was calling for him to move forward. But
The fear of old friends made the mob hesitant. Andre is one of his few friends in the world and he can''t take the risk. Carus knew how cold the world was for the lonely. Many years ago, when he was still in agony because of his identity, it was the dwarfs and several other companions who accepted him and showed him another sky.
"Good luck with you." The devil said to the deep hole. Turn around and walk back into the tunnel that leads to the surface. But as soon as he took a few steps forward, he turned and rushed into the darkness. The red flame on his eyes and body was quickly extinguished, and his dark eyes, like ashes, peeped coldly at the tunnel. The intuition that good soldiers always react to certain dangers is the biggest difference between them and rookies. Carus trusted his intuition, so when he realized something was wrong, he chose to hide.
Sure enough, three or four objects with higher temperature than the walls appeared in the dark. Judging from the edge, they undoubtedly belonged to the terrible underground legend. They were a group of snake heads. The mob''s feet move quietly, and the protruding walls of the original cave allow him to climb silently to the top of the cave. Generally speaking, no one will check what''s on top of them.
The snake heads stopped at the mouth of the cave. They talked with each other in hoarse and ugly voices. Judging from the state of looking around from time to time, they were waiting for someone. Interestingly, the mob''s eyes narrowed, and he moved forward a short distance, making sure he was still in the enemy''s blind spot. On closer observation, Karus could see that none of the snakeheads were clothed in cloth. Instead, they were armor made of stone. In their hands, they held short spears made of stone, and on their waists hung daggers made of snake teeth.
These guys are obviously soldiers. The mob, judging from his extensive knowledge, has seen the plural races and their social systems, which makes him see through the identities of these snakeheads at a glance. Their orderly and self-discipline behavior can only be achieved by established soldiers. So, who are these soldiers with snake heads waiting for? Is it a fallen teammate or something worth protecting?
Although the serpentine warriors looked a little agitated, they did not show fear and vigilance, which shows that they are definitely not the first time to stay here. In other words, this is not the first time they have sneaked into the underground of molten iron city. Carus wondered why his old friend knew the existence of these monsters, but did not seal off the underground cave''s access to the ground. Did he expect the labyrinth to keep the serpentine under the ground forever?"GAHA!" A snakehead yelled to his companions, pointing to one side of the tunnel, waving a stone spear in his hand. The other snakeheads looked at each other, seemed to agree with the guy''s point of view, responded in succession, and they soon walked in that direction into the tunnel.
Can''t wait? Carus frowned and thought that the serpents'' patience seemed to be exhausted. Whatever they were waiting for, it seemed that they were now determined to go over and see what had kept a group of soldiers waiting so long. The curious demon descends silently from the cave top, and his eyes flash with a faint red light, which allows him to clearly see the heat footprints left by the snake heads on the ground.
Go and see, thought Carus.
