Chapter 557 An unexpected discovery

To be honest, Duanmu Huai is not surprised that monsters are underground. After all, the monsters in this world are either on the seabed or underground. It’s just that he doesn’t really like the underground. The reason is very simple - most of the underground passages

It's very narrow and it's very troublesome to walk. For Duanmu Huai, he can't leave until he can. After all, if he gets stuck, it will be troublesome to get out.

but……………

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

"It's most likely that it was poached by monsters."

"Are they so smart? No, didn't Mr. Vincecott say he blew up the passage?"

"It means there is more than one passage leading to the surface. This is not surprising. After all, Vince Scott said before that after they went underground, they saw a wall sealing 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 himself believed that those monsters had been living underground, maybe they would come out of a hole at any time... Hey, at this time I

I just want to fill it with lava."

After saying this, Duanmu Huai sighed. The same was true for the rat people and the orcs at that time. The most troublesome thing about the underground was that there were underground passages extending in all directions. You were not sure whether the other party would run away from somewhere after you entered. So usually when you encounter this

In this case, Duanmu Sophora japonica is directly filled with magma.

But that won't work here. After all, it's located below the town. If you pour it down, the top will definitely be cooked.

"so what should I do now?"

"Don't worry, I've sent Suzuki to investigate. She should be fine."

Of course, Duanmu Huai couldn't just crash into the ground, so he sent Lingnu first. After all, Lingnu was a black cat now. She was petite and could easily get through places that humans couldn't.

"So what do we do now?"

"Let's go to the hotel and rest for a night. Others pay for us to stay. If we don't stay, it's not for nothing, right?"

Cornwall is not a particularly well-known tourist attraction, but there are still decent hotels. Since Earl Best said that he would come here with all meals and lodging, he naturally booked three luxurious rooms for them, so he went to

After dinner, the group returned to the hotel to rest - well, at least here, they didn't have to worry about idiot zombies who worshiped the Old Ones coming to trouble them.

"call……………"

After sorting out the notes, Mary also breathed a sigh of relief, and then she walked into the bathroom, planning to take a good bath to relieve her fatigue. I have to say that although I had thought about writing novels like Watson before, but when I actually started writing

, Mary discovered that the matter was much more difficult than she imagined. It was okay not to use the name of the person involved, but describing the process was another matter.

Especially the final battle...how to write it?

When Watson describes Sherlock Holmes, it is basically a battle of wits, but...

"Well……………"

Looking at the record in front of her, "Mr. Duanmu punched Glachi away, and Mr. Duanmu directly tore Glachi in half"... Mary was really troubled by such records, how to process their art into what readers want.

The way I see it, of course, is that it can barely be regarded as documentary literature, so I can’t change the process without authorization.

After all, Duanmu Huai also said that the reason why Mary's records are allowed to be published is that he hopes that more people can see the strength of himself and others. If you want to engage in a twists and turns and the ultimate counterattack like a Hollywood movie, this kind of person will definitely have to

Gain the trust of the client.

For Mary, this is really a difficulty.

Duanmu Huai was responsible for the killing and that was it, but to beautify the process... well, it was also quite a headache for Mary.

"Aha……………"

With a slight sigh, Mary took off her clothes, and then subconsciously looked at her belly...

"Why?"

Unexpectedly, the mark that was supposed to be there is missing?

"This is???"

Mary stretched out her hand and gently touched her lower abdomen. She felt no different from usual. In other words, the mark that was there before was gone.

how so??

Mary remembered clearly that she was still here before, and she also asked Lorena to take a look to prove that it was not her hallucination. But now, the mark has disappeared inexplicably?

But... it would be nice to disappear. At least this way, I wouldn't have to mention this shameful issue to Mr. Duanmu.

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

While Mary was enjoying her leisurely rest time, Duanmu Huai also received the reward from Ling Nu.

"I didn't expect that you also drew a map... This is much more convenient."

After touching the black cat at hand, Duanmuhuai also praised her. Lingnu raised her head proudly and meowed twice. As for the rabbit on the other side - well, she was still nibbling carrots, so don't worry about her.

.

Duanmuhuai touched the black cat while looking at the drawings in front of him - Lingnu brought him two pieces of paper, one of which was a map of the underground cave, and the other had several monsters drawn on it. Obviously,

Suzume not only drew the map this time, she even found out the situation of the monsters.

The first is what Vince Scott said before, the monsters that are all white and look like monkeys. According to Suzuki's report, these monsters are not a threat, they just like to hide in narrow gaps and attack.

The second type is the corpse that Duanmu Huai has encountered for the first time... This thing is really like cockroaches, everywhere, it's annoying.

This can also explain why the attacks of Vince Scott and others are ineffective against ghouls. After all, their physical resistance is very high.

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

“Snake man…………?”

Yes, what appears in the painting is a monster that looks like a walking lizard. When most people think of snake people, they think of Medusa, whose upper body is a human and the lower body is a snake. But the snake people in this world are completely different.

, they look like snakes with arms and legs that can walk upright.

Like the Ancient Ones, the Snake People were a race that flourished in this world for a while before humans. They even established a glorious empire. But they were different from the Ancient Ones who were overthrown by their own slaves and eventually had to flee into the deep sea.

, the death of the Snake Man is even more unlucky.

First of all, the civilization first established by the Snake People was destroyed in the age of dinosaurs. Then the Snake People fled underground. After the dinosaurs became extinct during the Little Ice Age, the Snake People returned to the land again, saying "I, Hu Hansan, am back.

"Spit out whatever you eat from me, and give me back whatever you take from me", trying to rebuild the glorious civilization of the snake people.

Then they met.........human beings.

Because humans claimed ownership of the territory of the snake people's country, the two sides started fighting. In the end, the snake people retreated steadily in the face of human expansion and eventually perished.

It can be seen that humans in prehistoric times were also very ferocious. After all, the snake people at that time even mastered very advanced 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 underground again and began hibernating again. Their plan was simple, just like in the dinosaur era, waiting for humans to be destroyed by some natural disaster, and then they would come out again

Take over the world.

Hmm... Why does this style of hiding if you can't beat it sound so like some mechanical chops?

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

But for Duanmu Huai, what is more difficult is that... this time he has to face a god.

The snake people have their own gods they worship, and that is the old ruler - the snake god Ig.

Different from the weak Glaaki who was killed by him before, the snake god Yig is the ruler of the old days who has survived from the ancient times to the present. At the same time, it also protects all the snake people who believe in it. This also means that when

When Duanmuhuai rushes into the underground, he will inevitably have a fight with the snake god Ige.

Although the snake god Igg is not very famous, its strength should be on par with Cthulhu - to put it simply, it is not impossible for Duanmu Huai to deal with it.

At least it's much easier to deal with than the King in Yellow or Yog-Sothoth and Azathoth.

Now it seems that the previous white-haired apes and corpses should all be subordinates of the snake people, and since there is a tribe of snake people below, there must also be a snake people temple and snake people priest...

"It's really a little troublesome."

Duanmu Huai couldn't help but frowned and started to look at the map. The only good thing is that according to Ling Nu's investigation, there is only one entrance and exit for the snake people. But the problem is that this place is heavily guarded. If you enter, you will definitely be discovered by the snake people.

If the opponent summons the snake god Ige, it will be difficult to deal with it - mainly because Duanmu Huai doesn't want to fight underground. If it accidentally collapses and gets implicated above, it will be troublesome.

But now it seems like that's all.

Now there's only one question left.

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

Snake God, as the name suggests, once it appears, there will definitely be snakes everywhere. In fact, in the game, some players once said that fighting with the snake god is a nightmare. Not to mention the intensity, it is crawling all over the place.

The snake scene is enough to leave a lifelong psychological shadow.

In fact, there are not a few players who collapse when fighting the snake god because of this. After all, many people hate that kind of smooth thing. If this thing appears in hundreds or even thousands, it will be even more of a nightmare.

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