Chapter 197 Even the rats in this damn place have become spirits
There was deathly silence in the tunnel.
Way out?
Everyone looked at the right fork that seemed to swallow up all the light.
A chilling wind blew out from inside like the sighs of a ghost. Just standing at the entrance, one could feel a chill running down one's spine and a sickening stench of decay.
What about the spacious and bright bluestone-paved road next to it, which looks like it can accommodate horse-drawn carriages?
"Your Highness..." Xuan Er's Adam's apple rolled up and down, his voice a little dry, "This...we..."
This, he thought, was abnormal.
On the battlefield, behind every seemingly beautiful thing often lies the most deadly murderous intent. They all understood this truth.
However, what this little fortune teller said was too... unbelievable.
Xiao Yu stroked the jade talisman in his hand.
She said that was the way to survive.
A gentle smile appeared on Xiao Yu's lips.
Thaksin.
"Everyone," he said in a cold voice, "hold your breath and activate the 'Pure Heart Formation'."
"Let's go to the right."
"yes!"
Twenty Black Armor Guards responded in unison.
The prince’s order is heaven!
Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, they will rush in without frowning!
"Xuan Er, you take three people and explore the way ahead."
"Xuan San, you take three people to cover our retreat."
"Yun Shen, you stay with me."
"The rest of you, stand on both sides and stay alert."
Xiao Yu gave orders in an orderly manner.
The team instantly transformed into a diamond formation with both offensive and defensive capabilities.
He took the lead and was the first to step into the disturbing darkness.
"hiss--!"
As soon as I stepped in, a sinister aura so thick that it almost became tangible hit me in the face!
It felt like being poured with a basin of ice water from head to toe in the coldest days of winter, and even the soul seemed to be frozen.
The Black Armor Guards groaned and immediately mobilized their internal energy to resist the cold.
Yun Shen quickly took out seven or eight yellow talisman papers from his arms, muttered something, and then threw them around the team!
"Those who are about to fight, all must line up in front! Clear your mind and guard your spirit!"
Those talisman papers spontaneously combusted without fire and turned into a pale golden light shield that enveloped the entire team.
The biting cold was instantly weakened by 70% to 80%.
"Thank you." Xiao Yu turned around and nodded to him.
"Your Highness is too polite. It's my job." Yun Shen wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face turning pale.
Maintaining this "Pure Mind Formation" also consumes a lot of energy for him.
“Puff…”
Xuan Er, who was walking in front, heard a strange sound under his feet.
It felt like something was stepped on and exploded.
He shone the tinder downwards and his scalp suddenly felt numb.
There was a thick gray-black fungal carpet on the ground.
The fungal mat was still undulating slightly, as if it was breathing.
And where he had just stepped, a green poisonous mist with a sweet fragrance was emitting from it.
"Your Highness! It's poisonous!" Xuan Er immediately shouted a warning.
"Everyone, take the 'Anti-Poison Pill'!" Xiao Yu's voice remained calm.
Everyone did not dare to delay and took out the prepared pills from their arms and swallowed them.
"grown ups!"
Chu Xuanyi's voice came from the jade talisman, his voice a little hurried, "Ajiu said that the ground is covered with 'magic mushrooms'! If you step on it, it will emit poisonous smoke! If you inhale it, you will see the thing you fear the most!"
Got it right again!
A gleam of light flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes.
"Everyone, watch your step! Try not to step on the fungal creep!"
"yes!"
The team's progress immediately slowed down.
Everyone carefully looked for a foothold in the cracks of the fungal blanket.
Even so, from time to time someone would accidentally step on one or two flowers.
“Puff!” “Puff!”
Green poisonous mist rose up in the team one after another.
Fortunately, they all took the "Anti-Poison Pill" and had the "Clear Mind Formation" to protect them. Although they felt a little dizzy and nauseous when they smelled the sweet smell, they did not experience any hallucinations.
"Damn it!" Xuan San, who had the hottest temper, couldn't help but curse under his breath, "These bastards are too insidious! Growing mushrooms on the ground?"
"Shut up." Xiao Yu scolded coldly.
Xuan San immediately shrank his neck and dared not say another word.
After walking forward about a hundred steps, the tunnel ahead suddenly became clear again.
This is a huge circular stone chamber.
The walls of the stone chamber were covered with all kinds of bizarre blood-colored runes.
These runes flickered, emitting a heart-pounding ominous aura.
And in the center of the stone chamber, there was a huge bronze coffin.
The coffin was covered in rust and was wrapped with black iron chains as thick as a bowl.
“This… this is…” Yun Shen’s face turned completely pale. “‘Blood Evil Soul-Breathed Array’! And… ‘Soul-Calming Coffin’!”
"Your Highness, do not come near!" His voice was trembling. "This formation will stir up people's deepest desires and drive them to slaughter each other! There's a high probability that some extremely dangerous creature is suppressed in that coffin! Prince Yu and his men set the center of the formation here. If we force our way through, whatever's inside the coffin will escape!"
This is a dead end.
Either they are confused by the formation or their own people fight against each other.
Or, break the formation by force and release even more terrifying monsters.
"Brother Xiong Xiong!"
At this moment, Ajiu's voice rang out again.
“There are… there are so many… so many red-eyed rats!!”
"It's so big! What a huge rat! Bigger than...bigger than our big yellow dog!"
"They're coming! They're coming! Coming out of the wall!!"
As soon as the words fell!
“Squeak, squeak, squeak—!”
A series of sharp screams that made one's teeth ache rang out from all directions!
Suddenly, the blood-colored runes on the wall of the stone chamber shone brightly!
Immediately afterwards, giant rats as big as calves, with bloodshot eyes and covered with sores, actually "squeezed" out from the wall!
They were like evil spirits crawling out of hell, emitting a strong aura of the underworld and the smell of blood!
"Form a circle! Defend!"
Xiao Yu's roar resounded throughout the entire stone chamber!
The Black Armor Guards reacted extremely quickly, shrinking their formation in an instant and protecting Xiao Yu and Yun Shen in the center.
"squeak--!"
A giant rat roared and pounced towards Xuan Er like a black lightning!
"You beast! You're looking for death!"
Xuan Er roared, and the sword in his hand drew a tricky arc and chopped towards the giant rat's neck!
"when!"
A crisp sound of metal clashing!
Xuan Er only felt a numbness in his palm, and the sword in his hand almost slipped out of his hand!
The giant rat's fur was as hard as iron!
His knife, which was powerful enough to split stones and break rocks, only left a faint white mark on it!
The giant rat only paused after being struck, then opened its bloody mouth and bit his arm!
"careful!"
Another Black Armor Guard nearby was quick-witted and swift-handed, and hit the giant rat's chin hard with the handle of his knife, causing it to tilt its head.
Even so, the sharp white fangs still scratched Xuan Er's arm armor, bringing out a string of blood beads!
"Damn it!" Xuan Er gasped in pain and kicked the giant rat away.
"Their hide is too tough! Eyes! Attack their eyes!" he shouted.
However, there are too many giant rats!
There are so many of them, at least hundreds of them!
They were fearless and attacked the small circle formed by the Black Armor Guards frantically.
The sounds of metal clashing, roars, screams, and the screams of giant rats mixed together, turning the entire stone chamber into a bloody Shura field!
In just a moment, several Black Armor Guards were injured.
Their formation began to loosen a little.
