85 The name of the abyss

Even though there was no strange sound around them at the moment, everyone could not help but look around as if something would pop out from a hidden corner at any time.

Seeing the handprints that were obviously from a struggle, everyone’s expression turned ugly.

Zhao Xu, who had been full of confidence, started to worry. In this situation, his teammates were probably starting to back down.

Compared to Fengye and the other three who were after money and Noah and the others who were after power, Zhao Xu’s goal in this trial was just to take risks.

antonya had given him three trump cards, but it wasn’t to let him return to mystra in a state of misery. she had wanted him to train himself.

if zhao xu had returned safely and reported to antonya that he had only killed a few thieves and managed to keep three of his trump cards, then that would have been the end of his trial.

that was why zhao xu didn’t reject the idea of danger when he was taking risks. if an ancient black dragon had appeared that night, zhao xu wouldn’t have hesitated to summon the seraphim to fight it.

What he wanted to avoid was the act of being backstabbed.

For example, if he entered this hole and found out that it was a trap set up by someone else, he would only be laughed at by Antonya if he died and returned to Mystra.

there was a problem of choosing which to choose.

avoiding the level 10 druid that day was a small bonus, and using the candle of prayers to scare away the spirits was also a small bonus. zhao xu had originally hoped that this hole would continue to give him a bonus.

However, looking at this scene now, this hole was probably not as simple as a small bonus point.

“what are your plans?” In the end, Zhao Xu wasn’t the kind of person who would just sit back and watch his friends die.

If they didn’t react in time, they would be wiped out. He could only ensure his own safety.

“ah? What’s your plan?” the warrior maple leaf did not react for a moment.

“are we still going forward? Now, that line of purgatory language words and these blood-red handprints had appeared. anything that is related to the abyss and hell is not simple.” zhao xu said in a low voice.

in the demon-sealing war that lasted for a few years in his previous life, even the group of high-end players who entered arthur in their first year had many deaths.

“let’s go, we’re already here.” The warrior, Maple Leaf, said. The other three nodded in agreement.

Noah heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that they were determined.

zhao xu didn’t say anything after he finished reminding them. he didn’t know how to react for a while. fengye and the others probably had a lot of lifestones, so they naturally felt that exploring was a good deal.

it was only when all the players had was a lifestone that they would realize that when they were not strong enough, hiding was the most important factor in arthur.

there were several branching paths in this mining pit, and if zhao xu and the others wanted to find the buried underground city, they had to start exploring one path at a time.

After seeing the handprint, they basically didn’t dare to split up to explore.

however, after everyone stuck close to each other, formed a formation, and slowly moved forward, they gathered their courage.

noah led the team through a narrow path that was wide enough for two people and entered a wide hall. inside, other than some collapsed cabinets in the corner, there were many damaged gray-white beds piled on the ground.

this hall was probably the miners ‘dormitory. the surrounding walls had been chiseled and then piled up neatly, unlike the rocky path just now.

“mr. spell casters, do you have a spell that can detect a secret door?” Noah asked as he looked at a half-closed wooden door.

“No, I didn’t,” The poet. Frog.

The poet was not Level 2 yet, so he could not use the level 1 arcane spell ” detect secret door. even if he could, he would not choose this unpopular spell. this was because the spells that poets could obtain were as limited as that of warlocks, and they could only be carefully selected.

secret door detection ” was a spell in the field of knowledge. Zhao Xu knew it, but he hadn’t expected to come to the underground city this morning, so he had prepared ” fate Reading “. If he really wanted to switch to the spell ” secret door detection, ” he would have to use the ” multi-talented spellcaster ” ability and use up two level 0 spells to cast it.

“let’s go into this room first and see if there are any secret doors around.” Zhao Xu thought about it and suggested to Noah.

Hearing this, Noah nodded.

they had not reached their destination yet. it was just the miners ‘dormitory, so the probability of a secret room or trap appearing was not high.

However, even though they thought this way, they were still very cautious when they approached the half-closed door. Noah carried his heavy steel shield and gently approached the wooden door, holding it against the door, ready to defend against any attacks from the inside.

the warrior, maple leaf, was ready to open the wooden door with his giant sword.

the martial artist, gale, had his back to the team to guard against any accidents from behind.

Compared to Youyou, who had to rely on the torch to light up the room, Zhao Xu was completely focused. He raised the single-handed crossbow in his hand and aimed it at the room.

If it weren’t for those handprints, they would probably still be kicking open the door.

Now, he could only treat it as if there was something inside.

“then i’ll open the door?” fengye reminded everyone. seeing that there were no objections, he gently thrust the giant sword in his hand forward.

“Yiya,” a sound.

as the wooden door was pushed open, everyone’s hearts were beating fast.

“an altar?” noah, who was standing at the front, was the first to see the situation in the room. ” i’m going in. you guys follow me closely. ”

With that, he slowly walked forward step by step with his shield in hand. Maple Leaf and the two rogues followed closely behind him, especially rainbow, who acted as the Sentry. He focused all his energy on the listen skill, constantly listening for any movements around him.

“if something’s wrong, i’ll sing.” Zhao Xu whispered to the poet.

At this time, the poet.’S level-zero spells and archery didn’t make much sense, so it was better to sing to give everyone an ” morale boost ” buff.

When everyone entered the room, except for Gale who was still blocking the door to observe the outside, the others could not help but be stunned when they saw the details of the room under the light of the torches.

The room next to the miner’s dormitory was not big, and there was a collapsed bed in the corner. From the discarded items on the table, it could be seen that this might be the foreman’s room.

however, the walls, floor, and ceiling of the room were all painted with blood-red words, and all of them pointed to the altar that was empty.

I think we should inform the nearest church and send a priest here. Youyou’s body was already trembling. If she hadn’t been surrounded by everyone, she would have run away with her hair standing on end.

“Don’t be nervous,” zhao xu crouched down and picked up the oil lamp to examine the inferno script on the ground. ” these things are probably just paint. ”

In his previous life, he had cooperated with a good God’s priest to encircle and annihilate some evil God’s priest’s priests. He was quite familiar with this kind of situation and did not panic at all.

Anyway, they were all flesh and blood, one knife in and they would die, and there would be trouble for the ghosts.

“these purgatory characters are all variations of the same name.” Youyou said after taking a deep breath.

“What’s your name?” zhao xu continued to ask.

“Demogorgon.”
