Chapter 557 Accidental Discovery

  To be honest, Duanmu Huai was not surprised that the monster was underground. After all, the monsters in this world are either under the sea or underground. It's just that he really doesn't like the underground very much, and the reason is very simple - most of the underground passages are very narrow, and it is very troublesome to walk. For Duanmuhuai, he can't leave unless he can. After all, if you get stuck, it will be troublesome to figure it out.

but………

   "Huh? But what happened to those bodies after that?"

   "There is a high probability that it was poached by monsters."

   "Are they so smart? No, didn't Mr. Vince Scott say he blew up the tunnel?"

"It means that there is more than one passage leading to the surface. It's not surprising, after all, didn't Vince Scott say that after they went underground, they saw a wall sealed off the passage. From this point of view , Those monsters didn’t come to the surface through here at all. It’s just that Vince Scott thinks that those monsters have been living underground, maybe they will come out of a certain hole at every turn... Hey, at this time, I will I really want to pour magma."

   Having said this, Duanmu Huai sighed. It was the same with the Ratmen and Orcs at that time. The most troublesome thing underground is that the underground passages extend in all directions. You are not sure whether the other party will run away from somewhere after you enter. Therefore, when encountering this kind of thing, Duanmu Huai trees are directly poured with magma.

   But it won’t work here. After all, it’s located below the town. If it’s poured down, it’s definitely baked.

"so what should I do now?"

   "Don't worry, I've sent Bell Girl to investigate, she should be fine."

   Of course, Duanmuhuai couldn't just crash into the ground like this, so he sent Bell Girl there first. After all, Bell Girl is now a black cat, with a petite body, and can easily slip through places that humans cannot penetrate.

   "So what should we do now?"

   "Let's go to the hotel and rest for one night. Others pay us to stay here. It's not for nothing, isn't it?"

Cornwall is not a particularly well-known tourist attraction, but there are still affordable hotels. Since Earl Best said that the board and lodging here is all-inclusive, he naturally booked three luxurious rooms for them, so in After dinner, the group went back to the hotel to rest—well, at least here, they don't have to worry about idiot zombies worshiping the Old Ones coming to make trouble for them.

   "Hoo......"

  After sorting out the notes, Mary also heaved a sigh of relief, and then she walked into the bathroom, intending to take a good bath to relieve her fatigue. I have to say that although she had thought about writing novels like Watson before, Mary realized that things were much more difficult than she imagined when she actually wrote them. It's over.

  Especially the final battle...how should I write it?

  When Watson described Sherlock Holmes, it was basically a battle of wits, but...

"Well………"

Looking at the records in front of her, "Mr. Duanmu punched Graki away, and Mr. Duanmu directly tore Graki in half"... This kind of record, Mary is really troubled, how to process it artistically into what readers want to see Of course, because it can barely be regarded as documentary literature, the process cannot be changed without authorization.

After all, Duanmuhuai also said that the reason why Mary's record is allowed to be published is to hope that more people can see the strength of himself and others. What you want to do is like a Hollywood movie with twists and turns and the ultimate counter-kill. This kind of person must have To the client's trust.

  For Mary, this is really a difficult time.

   Duanmuhuai is responsible for the killing and it's over, but to beautify the process... well, it is quite a headache for Mary.

"Aha………"

   Sighing softly, Mary took off her clothes, then subconsciously looked at her lower abdomen...

"Why?"

  Unexpectedly, the imprint that should have been there is gone?

"This is???"

  Mary stretched out her hand and gently touched her lower abdomen, feeling the same as usual. What she wanted to say was that the mark that was here before was gone.

how so? ?

  Mary remembers it very clearly, she was still here before, and she asked Lorena to see it, explaining that it should not be her hallucination. But now, that imprint has disappeared inexplicably?

  But...it's good to disappear, at least in this way, I don't have to raise this shameful question to Mr. Duanmu.

  Thinking of this, Mary also heaved a sigh of relief, then turned on the shower head in front of her eyes, and began to enjoy the bath before going to bed.

   While Mary was enjoying a leisurely break, Duanmu Huai also got the reward from Bell Girl.

   "I didn't expect that you even drew a map... It's much more convenient."

  Touched the black cat at hand, Duanmu Huai also praised her, Ling Nu raised her head proudly, and meowed twice. As for the rabbit on the other side—well, she's still eating carrots, so don't worry about her.

  Duanmuhuai was stroking the black cat while looking at the blueprint in front of him—the bell girl brought him two pieces of paper, one of which was a map of an underground cave, and the other had several monsters drawn on it. Obviously, Bell Girl not only drew the map this time, but even figured out the situation of those monsters.

   First of all, it is the monster that Vince Scott said before, the kind of monster that looks like a monkey with a white body. According to Bell Girl's report, these monsters are not threatening, they just like to hide in narrow gaps and sneak attacks.

  The second type is the ghoul that Duanmu Huai first encountered... This thing is really like a cockroach, it's everywhere, it's annoying.

  This can also explain why the attacks of Vince Scott and others have no effect on ghouls. After all, they have high physical resistance.

   On the contrary, it was the last monster that gave Duanmu Huai a headache.

   "Snake Man...?"

  That's right, what appeared on the painting was a monster that resembled a walking lizard. Generally, when people think of snake people, they will think of Medusa whose upper body is human and lower body is snake. But the snake people in this world are completely different. They look like snakes with arms and legs that can walk upright.

  The snake people, like the ancients, were a race that flourished in this world before humans, and they even established a glorious empire. It's just that unlike the ancients who were overthrown by their own slaves and had to flee into the deep sea in the end, the demise of the snake people was more unlucky.

  First of all, the first civilization established by the snake people was destroyed in the age of dinosaurs. Then the snake man fled underground, and after the dinosaurs became extinct in the Little Ice Age, the snake man returned to the land again, saying "I, Hu Hansan, came back again, spit out everything I ate, and took everything from me." Give it back to me", trying to rebuild the glorious civilization of the snake people.

  Then they meet...humans.

  Because humans claimed ownership of the Snakeman’s land, the two sides fought like this. In the end, the Snakeman retreated steadily in the face of human expansion and eventually perished.

   It can be seen that humans in prehistoric times were also very fierce. After all, the snake people at that time even mastered very superb technology and magic skills, but they were actually wiped out by humans...

  After being destroyed for the second time, the survivors of the snake people fled to the ground again, and began another hibernation. Their plan is very simple, just like the dinosaur era before, wait for human beings to be destroyed by some natural disaster, and then they come out again to take over the world.

  Hmmm...Why does this style of hiding when you can't beat it sound so much like some mechanical ribs?

  Of course, this does not mean that snake people are no threat to humans.

  But for Duanmuhuai, the more difficult thing is... this time he will face a god.

  The snake people have their own **** they worship, and that is the old ruler—the snake **** Ig.

  Different from the weak Glaaki who was killed by himself before, the snake **** Ig is the old ruler who has survived from the time of the ancients to the present, and it also protects all the snake people who believe in it. This also means that when Duanmu Huai enters the ground, he will inevitably have a fierce battle with the snake **** Yige.

  Although the snake **** Yige is not very famous, its strength should be on par with Cthulhu-in short, it is not impossible for Duanmuhuai.

  At least it is much easier to deal with than the King in Yellow or Yogsothos and Azathoth.

   Now it seems that the former white-haired ape and ghoul should be subordinates of the snake people, and since there are snake people tribes below, there must also be snake people temples and snake priests...

   "It's really a little troublesome."

   Duanmu Huai couldn't help frowning, and began to look at the map. The only luck is that according to Ling Nu's investigation, there is only one entrance and exit for the snake man, but the problem is that this place is heavily guarded, and the snake man will definitely find out if he enters. At that time, it will be worse if the other party summons the snake **** Yige to come out. Dealing with it—mainly because Duanmu Huai didn't want to fight underground, and it would be troublesome if he accidentally collapsed and got involved above.

   But now it seems that this is the only way.

   Now there is only one problem left.

  Duanmuhuai remembered that he had heard somewhere before that there are two kinds of people in this world, one is afraid of having many feet, and the other is afraid of having no feet.

  Snake God Snake God, as the name suggests, once it appears, there must be snakes everywhere. In fact, in the game, some players once said that fighting the snake **** is simply a nightmare. Leaving aside the intensity, the scene full of snakes crawling up, down, left, and right is enough to leave a psychological shadow for a lifetime.

  In fact, there are not a few players who collapsed in the battle with the snake **** because of this. After all, many people hate that kind of smooth thing. If there are hundreds of such things, it will be even more of a nightmare.

  I don't know...Lorena and Mary...are they afraid of snakes?
