It is not the first time Lyon has entered the city, nor has it been the first time that Lyon has penetrated into the underground world excavated by rat man. But the knight always felt that he was exploring a completely strange area. This is not to blame for the blood lion. Leaving aside the Valley City during the reign of the Saron family, it has been a long time since he and the advance team of the Royal Knights entered Xigu city and were captured by mutants after the outbreak of the rat plague. However, the underground system seen in Lyon at that time is not worth mentioning in recent days. It''s also true compared to the opponents they''re facing.


    "I miss the days when there were only mice here." The blood lion wiped the stain on the blade with his handkerchief. It was not red blood or yellow fat, but a thick brown, foul smelling liquid, which was the same as that from the head of the oversized beetle sitting under the knight''s body. Lyon is not easy to clean up the weapons, habitually want to put the handkerchief in his arms, but he smelled the smell on it, thought for a moment or threw it next to the body.


    "We can''t go far in this way." Buckram swung the smudge from his knife and drew it back into the sheath. After the long knife broke, the stubborn spirit did not choose other weapons to replace.


    The knight knew that his retinue was right. The beetle he and the spirit killed together could only be regarded as a good opponent. Although its thick shell was hard to break through, it was not aggressive. And in this crisscross underground network, God knows what hard guy is hiding. But the more so, the greater the reward brought by the investigation work. After a short rest, the blood lion still chose to move on.


    However, if Lyon knew that the two men who killed the beetle had been remembered by the insect Legion under kuila as Carus, he would not have made such an easy decision. Of course, that''s later. Now the brave knight of the Kingdom and his Elven retinue still have to March carefully in the narrow and dark tunnel of rat man. Fortunately, the murans, both mutants and protozoans, seem to be masters of underground architecture. Although the tunnels look rough and crude, there is no sign of collapse.


    Until, they turn the next corner of the tunnel. A large number of gravel and soil blocks from top to bottom completely blocked up the tunnel, leaving no gap.


    "The road is blocked? It looks like we have to change the way. " Barkm said with some displeasure that, in his opinion, there was no problem with a few dead ends in such a dense underground network.


    His knights, on the other hand, seem to have a different view. Lyon leaned down and picked up a handful of soil with his gloved hand. As vision was greatly limited in this environment, the blood lion chose to make up for it with smell and touch. "This place was deliberately collapsed. The falling soil is drier and more delicate than the surrounding one. It is obviously designed to block the enemy in case of danger. " Shaking his hands to clean up the sand, Lyon came to the conclusion.


    "But what''s the use of that? Their opponents are the worms, and it''s easy for them to get through this tunnel. " The Spirit said helplessly that he admitted that this kind of mechanism could isolate most invaders, but faced with the huge insects domesticated by witches? Bakm can only lament that the rat people encountered the most restrained opponent.


    The blood lion came to his retinue. "It''s not like that. This tunnel hasn''t been dug, is it? The sand was mixed with some herbs, which may have been intended to keep the soil used in the mechanism dry, but now it seems that they happen to have the effect of killing insects. Looking around, insects won''t give up easily. They should find another way


    Bakm nodded. The genius from the elves allowed him to see the outline of things in the dark. Although it was only the outline, it was much higher than that of human beings. The retinue searched for a while, and found a small hole which had been ignored before in a short distance. Judging from the excavation trace of the cave, it is not the work of rat man.


    "Yes, here it is. But why is this hole so small? " The spirit caressed the edge of the hole with his hand. The cold air mixed with the smell of unknown origin came out from the small hole. Buckram estimated that such a crypt could barely walk with him and Leon bent over, but it was too small for a giant insect. So far, at least, elves have never seen such a "small" insect.


    "It''s not that bigger opponents are harder to deal with. Body size is not directly proportional to the degree of trouble Lyon said, tentatively with the scabbard into the hole. His scabbard was decorated with a clasp engraved with the mark of a crow whose eyes were two fine rubies. This is a gift from the curse crow to the knight. When the scabbard approaches some traps, the ruby on it will flash red to remind its owner. Lyon was very skeptical about how the concept of "trap" was defined.


    But no matter how much he distrusted the props provided by the wizard, the red light did not light up. Lyon knew that time was everything in such a place. He had to step up his pace to spy on enough information before the other party took over the rat man''s underground passage and then left. So without much hesitation, the knight hung his sword back on his belt and bowed into the hole.Buckham curled his lips, and his intuition told him that he should get out of the ground as soon as possible, but his recognition of Lyon forced him to suppress this uneasiness and move forward with his knight.


    The curved passage was always downward, and the earth fell from time to time on the way forward. This can not help but let Lyon speed up the pace, such tunnels usually do not last long, he now only hope that the road ahead has not collapsed. It turned out that the knight''s worry was unnecessary. With his foot empty, Lyon''s body first left the narrow tunnel, and then the whole person fell straight in front of buckram. "Damn it!" The spirit cursed himself and jumped out of the cave with the former.


    "Click!" The blood lion didn''t fall for long. He reckoned that he fell two or three meters high, and then stepped on some Above the carapace. "Ready to fight." Lyon jumps to the left, reminding Barkham, who is following him. At the same time, his sword was in his hand.


    Before the elves landed, they had already let their weapons come out of their scabbards. When they touched the ground, they quickly found Lyon''s position and protected each other''s dead corners back to back with the Knights. And in the darkness around them, there was a lot of "click click" sound.


    "Can you see what it is?" Asked the blood lion, who hoped at least to get a description of the enemy''s appearance. So he can speculate on the attack.


    "I''ll try," buckram tried hard to see through the darkness, but even for the elves'' vision, it was not easy to see things in the dark. After about five seconds, he hesitated and said, "it''s like some ants, big ants."
