Chapter 20 Hand Shaking

Kam felt a little uneasy.

Don and the others said they would come back after going to explore the way, but they did not show up again.

He took out the mechanical watch in his arms and looked at it. The pointer on it had walked a circle, indicating that it had almost passed. In other words, it was almost time for Dorn and the others to leave.

They had agreed before that they would meet up before lunch, no matter whether they found a way or not. However, the agreed time had passed early, and the two of them did not come back.

Could they be lost?

Kam thought.

In fact, Kam didn't know where he was now, and he guessed that the two guys didn't know either. After all, the landing location was somewhat different from what they had planned in advance - in fact, this should be considered an unexpected situation, because according to the underground magic guild, the star gate they were going to use was at the legendary level - in fact, it means antiques, or more bluntly, the kind that was disrepaired.

Kam still remembers the shock when he saw it for the first time: the legendary Star Gate engraved with complex space spells seems to be no different from the stove of the weapon shop owner next door, and may be even more broken and darker. As for the so-called space spell, it is even hard to touch.

But the person in charge of the underground union - the short man who hid in his robe from beginning to end, promised them that the door was absolutely fine, because his grandfather entered through this door, reached the abyss, and brought back a lot of wealth. The best proof was the person in charge himself: if something happened to his grandfather, he would never stand here.

After hearing this, Kam thought it made sense, so he signed a contract and paid an extremely high deposit - almost half of all his belongings. The remaining half was used to hire Donne and the others.

In the Oak Hotel, where the adventurers gathered, Cam searched for a long time but no one was willing to join his team. In the end, he had to show off all his belongings, including a three-pointed dagger left to him when his father died, which attracted Dorn's attention. The latter claimed to be a weapon collector and was very interested in his ancient cold weapon. The two sides had a good chat on this topic and found that they were particularly close to each other, so such a temporary adventure team was established - led by the experienced adventurer Dorn.

Although the team was not dominated by himself, Cam had no complaints. He was very grateful to Dorn and Richard. If it weren't for them, he wouldn't have the courage to go to the abyss. In order to express his gratitude, Cam even promised to give them three-quarters of the gains from this expedition.

After all, his greatest combat power comes from training when he was an apprentice of a mage. If he is not good, he will become a burden to the team, so it is normal to get less.

The teleportation was basically smooth and nothing went wrong.

But when he came out, he saw a similar confusion on the face of the knowledgeable Dorn: Where is this?

The existing known star gate should be connected to a known location in the abyss, but it is not anything he knows. There are gray and white ruins everywhere, like scattered giant bones - looking more like some ancient ruin on the continent.

The wrong transmission?

To confirm this, he took out the energy storage ball that had been prepared in advance and opened it. However, to their surprise, the energy storage ball was overloaded quickly, and the magic loop inside flashed for a while, and it was destroyed almost instantly - it was the abyss.

It is said that because the magic net energy in the abyss is too complicated, all sophisticated magical products—especially advanced products that require the use of magic circuits—cannot be used.

They immediately checked the items they brought, but found that everything including the magic gun and the imaging compass were damaged.

In this way, the three of them went around this place for most of the day. In the end, Dorn suggested asking Cam if he could advance his triangular dagger so that they could explore the way first.

Kam gave them the dagger readily and waited for them to come back.

However, it has been too long.

I don’t know if it was his illusion, but the fog around him became deeper and thicker, and the light dimmed. It was obvious that when they first came to this ruins, the surroundings looked clear, and the sky was just gray.

Soon, he knew that this was not an illusion.

Before he could take any action, most of the ruins that could have been seen were already submerged in the vast fog, and he could only see about ten yards around him. There was still light in the environment, but it made him more frightened than the total darkness.

Kam felt like a lonely boat left in the sea, as if he could go anywhere, but he didn't dare to go anywhere.

And until then, he realized that the surroundings were too quiet, only his faint heartbeat vibrated slightly with the eardrum.

"…Do…Doen…” he called in a low voice, trying to give himself courage.

However, the trembling voice was heard, without any echo, and it only seemed ridiculously weak.

How...do this?

Kam was a little panicked.

When Kam thought of the horror of being left alone in a strange world, he could no longer sit still.

It's been long enough that he has to do something. If he keeps waiting, the probability of Dorn and the others coming back will not be higher. It's better for him to go out and look for it on his own initiative.

And if I haven't come back for so long, maybe it's because of Don't have some trouble on the way.

He has to help them.

Thinking of this, Dorn took off the bag hanging around his waist and planned to eat a few bites of dry bread before going on the road. However, as soon as he bought it, he found something was wrong - it was a bit too heavy.

When I opened it, I found that it was filled with slits of stones - the kind of thing that children play during the Chinese New Year and Festival. If they are thrown on the ground, they will smoke and explode, but they are not lethal.

Oh my God, is this Richard's thing?

Kam thought.

They must have walked too quickly and got the wrong bag when they set off. He had to find them as soon as possible.

He immediately took a few sips of water, felt that his stomach was a little fuller, so he picked a direction and walked out.

"Donn..."

"Richard..."

He shouted carefully while walking, but only the silent mist was responding to him.

Kam walked stumblingly, and after about two moments, he had to stop and rest for a while. His physical strength was not good, and before he could take a few steps, he felt a little panting.

——It is probably because I usually rely too much on magic floating boards and neglect to exercise. When I come to the new environment, I am still not adapting.

He smiled bitterly in his heart, sat down with a piece of ruins, and planned to take a break and leave.

"Sand...Sand..."

However, suddenly a slight sound of rubbing the ground came, about fifty yards away from him. He held his breath and stared at the direction where the sound came.

Through the deep fog, he vaguely saw a small ball of light, like a candlelight, or a light, like a road guide in the sea of ​​fog, and he could not ignore the past anyway.

...

"Is your route reliable?" Lin complained, shaking the white candle in front of his head hard.

"If you don't believe it, just do it." The lich replied to her hard, "Here, right, are you not right?!"

Lin didn't say anything, and squeezed into the two walls on the right with a very nice temper.

The gap between the stones is very narrow, and only one person can pass through it - if she is a certain species now, it will probably be difficult to pass through it. And she is now mud, and if she wants to pass through such a place, she can easily pass through it by squeeze and rub it anywhere.

Although he was very impulsive and turned into a mud rat, Lin decided to save some attention when he thought of his few runes and the previous conflict.

The left and right body can now switch between softness and flexibility - be able to squirm, roll, and waving tentacles to crawl. Although the travel speed is a little slower, it is still within an acceptable range.

"You look so stupid, you really look like a slime." The lich pointed out without hesitation.

"Hey, please be kind of polite? Be careful if I lick you?"

"Okay, come on, let's see how you go out after eating." The lich sneered.

Lin has nothing to say.

The reason why the attitude suddenly reversed now is because of her previous slutty hand. After triggering the mechanism, the two of them fell into a pile of broken stones filled with mist. According to her guess, and the mad curse of the lich, they should have now arrived in a very closed space - they can only reach it through one-way and passive teleportation.

"You are mentally retarded! Do you have only the IQ of your knees? Is it an arrow?! Who asked you to touch a Lich's house casually? Have you never heard of a mage in your short-lived knowledge that Lich's things must not be touched randomly! Their house cannot be entered casually? Do you dare to touch the collection of Lich? Do you have common sense?"

After landing, the lich cursed like crazy, no longer caring about its situation.

Lin Zizhi knew that he was in a disadvantage and did not say anything again.

This is really hard to explain.

Because there are too many adventure games, when you go to the villagers' homes, including treasure hunting places, you can just touch the box and press the space bar. There are too few cases where you really have mechanisms - especially in such familiar indoors.

So it is normal to be careless for a moment.

Of course, this reason cannot be told to the lich.

"You also know that I'm a...well, inexperienced young man."

"Young, bullshit!" The lich exploded when he heard Lin's words, "I was very cunning and cautious before? Why did my brain suddenly get fucked? Do you know how terrifying and desperate this place is!"

"I don't know." Lin replied honestly, "I just trembled my hands."

However, this answer obviously stimulated the lich again.

After another round of swearing, he finally stopped gloomy and sneered: "If you don't want to starve to death in this place - you also want to eat this thing? If you don't want to, then be honest, listen to me and do it step by step. We have to leave this corridor first."

"Oh." Lin pointed all the small tentacles on his body very well, "Are these broken stones actually a passage?"

"Yes, with your low IQ, it may be difficult to understand - but there are indeed illusions here that confuse vision, only for living creatures. So cheer, stupid creature, there is a lich who is not confusing around you."

"Then where are we going? What are we going to do?"

"Here, hurry up." The lich explained impatiently and directly urged Lin to start to turn around the ruins.

At the beginning, Lin was of course suspicious and even licked two more mouthfuls to threaten.

However, the Lich no longer took this trick, and acted like "If you don't want to go out, keep messing with me." In the end, Lin made a concession, obediently listened to the Lich's command, and began to solve the puzzle of the maze.

While moving, Lin also found a new way of mud-beating action - she originally wanted to show him the craftsmanship of her sculptures. However, considering the current mental state of the lich, Lin decided not to further stimulate him.

"Shame~ Are you here~" Lin Shu asked with his mouth flattened.

"You can shut up... wait, shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"Hey, it's so itchy!"

"Shut up!"

Lin was curious, and his eyes squeezed into up and down positions, trying hard to turn out, but unfortunately he failed.

She shook her little tentacles directly, rubbed the mud under her eyes into a wide surface, and quietly poked out of the wall: through the fog, she saw the figure of a person first.
