Chapter 257: No one? It means they are all ghosts
Fortunately, the three of them were already familiar with the route.
This time the underwater distance was much closer than before. Alvin held the little seal that Green Shadow had transformed into tightly and quickly crossed the underwater corridor.
He gradually was able to open his eyes underwater.
This corridor is almost exactly the same as the one where we fought the mummy just now.
It’s just that the strange statues on both sides of the corridor seem to be slightly different.
These ancient stone statues just sank in the water, with their fangs and claws bared, as if they were going to devour every intruder.
He turned around and saw Solanlian behind him.
In the green light, this beautiful elf can be seen clearly.
Her long hair was as smooth as silk in the water, swaying gently with her movements, like a piece of flowing silk.
In the water, her skin appeared more transparent, and the shadows of the water ripples were reflected on her body, as if it were the blood flowing in her body.
Maybe this is what the Little Mermaid looks like?
Solanlian soon discovered that Alvin was staring at her blankly.
Suddenly, he playfully spit out a string of bubbles...
When the group emerged from the water at the end of the channel, Alvin looked around and realized he was starting to have some idea of where he was...
This is a hall, very empty, with only half a pool. There are four passages in front from left to right, and no one knows where they lead to.
"So many roads? Where should we go?"
Solanlian asked as she helped everyone dry the water.
Alvin looked at the green shadow that had just transformed into a cheetah.
The cheetah shook its big head, looked left and right, then tilted its head, seeming very confused.
"Green Shadow, how's it going? Where are we going?"
Alvin looked at the terrain and combined it with his past memories, and he probably had an idea, but he still wanted to hear what the druid had to say first.
"I, I don't know either..."
Green Shadow had a confused expression on his face.
"I, I don't sense any troll presence..."
Alvin heard this and took a deep breath.
"Isn't it nice to be alone? I can explore freely now!"
Solanlian didn't understand why both of them looked unhappy. Isn't it better to have no one around?
"No one..."
Alvin smiled bitterly and stroked Solanlian's long hair lovingly.
"It means they are all ghosts..."
"..."
The smile on Solanlian's face froze.
"I'd rather deal with living creatures than undead... Those things are really creepy..."
Alvin said, "Since Green Shadow can't tell us which direction to go, why not listen to my advice?"
As he spoke, he picked up a bone of an unknown animal from the ground and started drawing on the floor tiles.
"According to my research on trolls, their temples are usually built with several layers from bottom to top. If nothing unexpected happens, from bottom to top they are the places where they carry out their activities at different levels."
Back then, he just couldn't figure out which way to go, so Alvin, who was confused, decided to carry forward the spirit of a hard-working ox and explore the whole way from bottom to top!
"Look, the entrance on the right has stairs that lead down, while the entrance on the far left has stairs that lead up."
Alvin used the bone to draw on the ground, starting with the bottom and top, which he replaced with two circles.
"Next, the two doors in the middle should be the middle level."
"Our goal is to help Green Shadow regain his memory and, by the way, find that old fellow Zul and take back my pendant. So I suggest we start exploring from the bottom."
Alvin threw the bone away casually.
"If we meet the enemy, we will kill him!"
Although Alvin's words were exciting,
But when actually entering the gate on the far right, everyone was still very cautious.
The two still wore the masks they had taken from the Mask Hall, hoping they would continue to work.
The green shadow was still sneaking ahead to explore the way.
As Alvin expected, there was a spiral staircase leading downward.
Along the way, green stone tablets can be seen everywhere on the steps, and more abstract masks are hung on the walls.
There were words engraved on the stone that Alvin couldn't understand.
It’s a pity that I’m looking for someone this time. If there is a next time, I must make rubbings of the words on these stone slabs and take them back for research.
The few of them walked and stopped, and came to an empty hall.
It was like a huge amphitheater, with smooth walls all around and what seemed to be some protruding platforms on the walls.
The terrain of the hall gradually decreases from the edge to the center, and the center of the hall has been flooded.
But it seemed that the water was not very deep, because there were some strange monsters, like bush spirits, wandering in the water.
"It's the Abyss Lurker..."
Green Shadow's voice echoed in the air beside him.
And just at the entrance where they walked in, there was a strange altar. The altar looked like a round millstone, except that on both sides of the altar, there were two statues of giant snakes winding around.
They are carved vividly, with their mouths wide open and eyes staring, as if looking diagonally upwards.
"This might be the bottom level of the temple."
As Alvin spoke, he pointed to the Abyss Lurkers in the pool below.
"We better clean those things out. I suspect there's something in the pool."
"give it to me,"
Green Shadow's voice came from below. It turned out that when Green Shadow discovered the monster, he had already sneaked behind the monster.
As the sound was made, a green shadow suddenly appeared, rushing left and right, and quickly tore all these guys to pieces.
"These monsters are so weak!"
Solanlian exclaimed in surprise, and even Alvin couldn't believe that all these guys were wiped out by Green Shadow alone.
However, the bodies of the fallen monsters shrank rapidly, and then a faint white smoke emerged.
Green Shadow wasn't paying attention and accidentally inhaled some white smoke...
"thump!"
The cheetah fell to the ground the next second, making a loud snoring sound like a wild beast...
"No! The reason those guys are so weak is because they want to use the poisonous mist of posthumous death against us!"
Alvin grabbed Solanlian who was about to rescue Green Shadow.
"Calm down! You'll get hit if you keep going like this!"
"What to do now?"
"Use your blowing technique to disperse the smoke! This might be a spell, let me see if I can break it!"
Alvin said as he began to slowly walk towards Green Shadow.
Solanlian used Ice Cone to blow away the smoke in front of her as if it was free.
The two finally arrived at Green Shadow's side without any danger.
Alvin checked Green Shadow's body.
"There's no sign of poison or any kind of magic, and no injuries. It looks like he's just asleep."
"Fell asleep?"
Solanlian laughed and said, "You scared me! How can this guy sleep so well? Even at this time?"
"I think you've misunderstood Green Shadow."
Alvin stood up and said, "It must be the smoke that makes people sleep. Hmph, I think I understand."
"This might be what was handed over to the murlocs, and that's what they used to knock us out."
"Yes, it seems that the murloc leader said that the trolls gave them some kind of potion that can be used by just sprinkling it into the air."
Solanlian also remembered and nodded, "Although the secret has been solved, the bad thing is, how are we going to wake up such a big cheetah?"
"Isn't this simple?"
Alvin gave a sly smile, and he looked at the cheetah and selected a skill icon in his mind.
"Dark Word: Pain!"
The best way to wake a girl up is to hurt her!
