Chapter 123: Underground Labyrinth

Thor looked at these spirits whose movements were so uniform and strange, and their bare shoulders, and instantly recalled the arms that he saw on the cliffs before entering the crypt.

The arms are outside calling for help, but the body is walking secretly and carefully underground.

If these spirits were the souls of the dead, Thor could not imagine what kind of horrible scenes they experienced when they died.

When he first heard Senior Byron tell about the tragedy in the Valley of the Drooping Hands, Thor thought that those wizards and apprentices must have been crushed to death, squeezed to death, suffocated to death, or killed each other while fleeing.

But the truth is obviously not that simple.

There were a lot of white shadows, walking out from the middle passage in rows, and then mechanically walking into the left passage one by one.

There are too many.

If it weren't for the subtle differences in the size and appearance of each phantom, Thor would probably have thought that these phantoms might be copies of a certain one.

Now the left and middle passages are filled with these shadows, and only the right passage is clean.

Bill, who was standing at the front, observed for a while and did not feel any danger, so he asked in a low voice: "Byron, is there any evil spirit here?"

Bill could tell that the shadow before him was just the remnant of a broken spirit, not even a fragment of a soul.

But he couldn't be sure whether this phenomenon meant that there were evil spirits in the area.

Byron called Thor, "Thor, let's go over and take a look."

Thor followed Byron and walked through the passage that Bill and Wright had made way for.

They stopped three meters away from the fork in the road.

Thor took the lead and entered into semi-immersive meditation.

In an instant, the armless human figure in front of him disappeared, and only faint pale flames remained in the air.

The flames, so weak that they seemed like they would go out at any moment, were jumping in the air at the same pace as the shadows just advanced.

Silent and trembling.

Even though they had lost their human form, Thor could still feel a suffocating tension from their coordinated beating.

He carefully observed the three caves and came out of his meditation state.

"call--"

His chest expanded violently twice, as if he had just recovered from suffocation.

"Did you find anything?" Wright asked in a low voice relying on the air flow in his throat when he saw Byron and Thor stopped observing one after another.

Thor and Byron looked at each other, and they raised their hands in perfect tacit understanding, pointing to the passage on the left.

The corner of Bill's mouth twitched slightly. "Does this mean that we should walk side by side with those guys?"

Byron walked straight over and waved his hand among the white shadows.

The phantoms were not affected at all. They still raised their legs high, lowered them gently, and walked carefully.

"At present, these regrets just look strange and have no ability to cause any impact on us for the time being."

Light touched his arm. "That's why I never like dealing with spirits. I never know if attacking them is a waste of my magic power."

Bill said bluntly: "If you had carefully felt the spiritual power fluctuations they were emitting, you wouldn't have been frightened by a group of phantoms."

"Ha, as if you weren't nervous just now."

"I'll go in front this time." Byron ignored their quarrel, glanced at Thor and motioned him to follow him closely.

"Okay," Wright followed, "Now it's your home court. When we deal with the evil spirits later, I can only follow your instructions."

As they were talking, the four of them joined the white shadow team one by one.

"In fact, there may not be evil spirits here." Thor gave the two seniors a shot of prevention, "It may just be that evil spirits once wandered here and caused some pollution here."

"I see!" Wright said without airs, "When I go to catch sand eye worms, I often only pick up their dry feces."

"There's no need to give this example!" Bill wanted to raise his hand and knock on Wright's head.

Several people continued to move forward.

The white shadow running parallel to them turned right at the next intersection and entered another cave.

"Another fork in the road." Wright frowned, "I don't like walking in mazes."

"That's what it's like down in the Valley of the Hands." Byron answered dully, concentrating on figuring out the road ahead.

The few of them walked through several forks in the road and found that this underground world was even larger than Thor had imagined.

And this is just the outskirts of Chuishou Valley.

"There's movement." Byron stopped suddenly.

At this time, everyone had just stepped into a wider space, where there were eight forks in the road, up, down, left and right.

"Why are there so many holes? I feel like I can't even remember the route I took." Wright covered his face with his hands.

His thin face looked as pale as death in the dim light of the twilight magic.

Bill was also visibly impatient.

"I don't think it's reliable to look for evil spirits based on pollution. They are just traces left by them, and they may not be here anymore." He pointed to the passage leading underground, "I think we should keep going down."

After saying that, Bill walked over there, seemingly not intending to discuss it with anyone.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But Thor looked over and felt something was strange, "Wait a minute!"

He had barely finished his sentence when Bill jumped down the aisle.

Bill's body fell into the air, and the passage on the ground suddenly began to close.

Seeing that the man was about to be cut in half, Bill was not surprised but happy.

A large amount of purple foam suddenly appeared on the skin of his hands and feet. The foam looked soft, but it could support the shrinking tunnel.

Then Bill put his hands on the edge of the tunnel and jumped upwards, leaving a pile of foam blocking the entrance of the tunnel while he jumped into the air.

Thor didn't have the time to watch others fight.

After the first hole suddenly shrank and bit people, a hole on Thor's left suddenly moved towards him.

The mountain shrank like a huge suction cup, trying to suck Thor in.

Thor immediately felt a strong suction force.

He raised his leg, stepped on the lower edge of the side wall, and against the suction force, swung his hand and threw an attack to hit the undead.

The hole suddenly shrank twice, but unfortunately the attack effect was not ideal.

But Thor's attack just now was just to buy himself time.

He immediately released the Archery Technique.

The sharp arrow gained greater kinetic energy due to the suction of the cave entrance and penetrated into the cave in almost an instant.

This time the hole trembled violently and spit out a stream of green mucus.

But then, it suddenly expanded, expanding from a small hole with a diameter of less than one meter to nearly two meters in an instant, and the suction force increased again.

This time, Thor had no place to stabilize his body, and he almost fell into the cave that was bigger than his whole body.

Suddenly, a spike suddenly protruded from under Thor's feet and pierced directly into the mountain above his head.

Thor hugged the spike to prevent himself from being sucked in.

However, he could not stand firmly on his feet due to the huge suction force and floated in the air. He could only rely on one arm to hold on to the spikes tightly.

Thor's other hand was not idle either. After quickly reciting a spell, translucent termites began to appear on his arm.

Thor flicked his hand and several woodworms were sucked into the cave.

The reason why he chose Soul Worm as his first Level 1 witchcraft is because it is a rare witchcraft among low-level witchcraft that can attack both the body and the soul at the same time.

Although it is not a kind of instant-death witchcraft, its attack range is very comprehensive.

After a few seconds, the hole suddenly shrank again, and the suction force decreased greatly.

Thor's feet finally landed on the ground.
