Soul Echo

Knock! knock!

The flints collided, rubbing sparks.

Shards of sparks falling into the dry haystack soon set the hay on fire.

People used the fire to light the torches, and one after another, the firelight swaying in the wind gradually lit up the area at the foot of the mountain.

Several villagers, holding stones in their hands, took turns knocking on the hidden entrance of the hole, expanding the hole.

Old Cole stared at the entrance of the cave by the firelight. He had heard from Zhong Ye that the caravan encountered goblins a few days ago. Although it was absurd, he could not help but put the two Things come together.

The entrance of the cave leads to the underground, not the inside of the mountain.

If there really is a cavity underground, his absurd assumptions are not impossible.

"Open! Open!"

The villagers shouted from the entrance of the cave. The old hunter stood up with the trunk behind him and paced closer.

Old Cole just wanted to get to the edge of the cave and take a look inside, but Zhong Ye took the torch from a mercenary, put it into the cave, and used the firelight to see what was behind the cave. After the scene, he turned over and jumped in.

His actions startled everyone and left them stunned, not knowing what to do.

Not long after, Zhong Ye's voice came from the entrance of the cave: "Come in, the oxygen is quite abundant here, and the space is very large.

"There is a Stone steps, you can climb down from there. "

On hearing Zhong Ye's voice, people sighed in relief.

Then they looked at each other in blank dismay and hesitated.

The old hunter glanced at these worried guys, hooked the head, and took the lead to drill into the cave.

He saw the adventurer holding a torch below, and the slightly swaying flame illuminated the cave Most of the time, it also illuminated the stone steps below the entrance of the cave.

Old Orion glanced at it with a probe, and then crawled down.

The cave is exactly as Zhong Ye said, Oxygen is very abundant, not only the fire is bright, but there is no uncomfortable feeling when breathing.

Old Orion took the lead, and others climbed down one after another.

Old Cole raised his head. Looking at the top of the cave, which is quite far away, there is some worry in his eyes, "This cave is so big... This mountain is almost empty, right? "

"I don't know. "Zhong Ye shook his head, did not wait for the others, and walked forward first.

After entering the cave, they could only move forward in the direction ahead, and the other directions were blocked by the stone wall.

Zhong Ye walked at the front of the team holding a torch. The old hunter took out a bow and arrow, alerting the left and right and above, and the rest followed behind them. A group of people held torches and illuminated the entire cave.

Looking at this huge cave, the old hunter slowly frowned.

The light of the torch illuminated every inch of the cave's darkness, but he didn't see a half-way, the cave in front of him. It's more of a 'passage' than a 'cave'.

"We're going down. "Zhong Ye, who was walking in front, suddenly spoke.

Down...

The old Orion suddenly started, "Underground? "

"Didn't you feel it?" "Zhong Ye turned his head sideways, the firelight showed a grim expression on his profile face, "The air is becoming humid and turbid. "

——but they never found where the goblin tribe was.

At this moment, Zhong Ye stopped.

The rest of the team They also stopped, and they looked in the direction of Zhong Ye's line of sight, and a faint fluorescent light came into view.

The plants and insects emitting faint light were clinging to the stone wall, providing a wide underground space. The only light, the roar of water rushing back and forth in this open area.

Looking closely, you can also see some shadows flying between the rays of light.

Zhong Ye heard the sound of a group of people breathing cold air behind him, shook the torch in his hand, and observed both sides of the cave entrance.

There is a road leading to the bottom of the cavity area on the left side of the cave entrance. It is not suitable for walking.

This hollow area is supported by many stone pillars. In the distance beyond sight, Zhong Ye can vaguely see some vague images.

This Underground World , it seems that it is not only as big as they can see...

Zhong Ye took a deep breath, "Go back! ”

Others also woke up from the shock. Many of them had never seen this thing, and had never even heard of it. When they saw it for the first time, they couldn’t help but feel shocked.

But after the shock, they started to feel their scalp tingling.

——This is below their village, and their village is built on top of this underground cavity!

They all saw that this underground cavity is supported by a few stone pillars. If those stone pillars are broken, their village will also disappear!

The villagers looked at the cavity area , with lingering fears.

The mercenaries couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and they will have to blow when they go out.

Only the old hunters still remember what they came here for, watching In that hollow area, there is only worry in my heart.

entire group returned to the original road, the old hunter took the opportunity to carefully observe the cave-like passage again, but this time still did not see any fork in the road.

The goblins may have come from that cavity...

They have been living there before...

Old Orion is worried, just because of the darkness, no one notices His worries.

After the shock, people began to discuss the shocking Underground World, walking through the mountains with torches, and shocked countless wild beasts.

"Back! They are back! "

The villagers on the arrow tower saw the long line of torches at the bottom of the mountain at a glance, and immediately called out.

Although it was late at night, people still did not fall asleep, listen to When the shout came, they got up from the bed and hurried out of the door.

The entire group, who went out to find goblins, returned to the mountain village full of exhaustion, but heard others ask what the situation was. When the time came, they regained their energy, everyone talking at once about the Underground World.

The old hunter was worried and took away the village chief. He had some guesses about the goblins and the Underground World, which was not suitable for him. Speaking in front of other people.

A group of people are showing off their knowledge. The caravan guards who followed the team to find the goblins are reporting the situation to their Captain, but Zhong Ye is looking at the sky. The moon is silent.

This operation is not completely fruitless, at least they know that there is a cavity underground in this area, and they don't know how big it is, and how many strange monster species live in it.

They didn't find the goblin horde's hiding place all the way.

Either they went to the wrong place, or the goblin horde was indeed in that underground cavity.

p>

However, the road from the underground cavity to the surface is steep, dangerous and long. Why do the goblins come to the surface?

It is not for escaping, nor for patrolling and hunting. What do they want to do? What are you going to do?

Zhong Ye faintly perceives that there should be something terrifying about to happen behind this.

"Is it possible...there are more than a thousand, more than ten thousand underground. goblin country? ”

Looking at the bright moon, Easterlanders whispered to themselves.

…………

second day Early in the morning, Zhong Ye just woke up, Heard noises coming from the villagers' living quarters.

Others were still sound asleep, he didn't wake them up, he left the sleeping bag lightly and walked out of the house.

The sun has not yet risen, and there is only a hazy light in the sky. Zhong Ye saw torches lit everywhere in the village, and the silhouettes swayed in the fire.

A little closer, he was surprised to see people packing their bags , and not just one or two people, but the whole village is packing.

“youngster, are you awake? "

The voice of the old hunter came from the shadows, Zhong Ye turned his eyes away, and saw a hunched silhouette sitting in the dark, with a cigarette in his mouth, and absentmindedly breathing clouds.

"Where are you going? "Zhong Ye asked in doubt.

The old hunter hesitated, sighed: "You can go anywhere, in short, you can't stay here anymore. "

"You think about it too? "Zhong Ye fingered the ground under his feet," the goblins below. "

"Yeah..." The old hunter laughed at himself, shook his head and sighed, "I have been a hunter for several decades, can I not understand the habits of my prey?" The range of goblins is usually not too far from the tribe, but we couldn't find a goblin's lair on the surface nearby, which means that their tribe is most likely underground... The range of the goblins who go out has exceeded common sense, then Naturally, it goes beyond common sense in other respects.

"It's too dangerous here, we have to leave, although some people don't want to leave, but I persuaded the village chief and my students, once we leave, the village will have no protection, so other people I also have to go with us."

The aggregation is discrete, and everything comes so suddenly.

Zhong Ye found that the old hunter was also confused, not only about himself, but also about the future of other people in the village.

Leaving this mountain forest, they don't know how to live in other places. They have no land, no housing, and no jobs.

No fixed place, wandering everywhere.

"...If you don't mind."

Old Orion looked up towards Zhong Ye and saw him raise his arm, pointing east.

The first ray of sunlight shone on Zhong Ye, shining brilliantly.

Just listen to him indifferently say: "In that direction, there is a small city, it has just been ravaged by the undead army and suffered heavy losses, many people died in that disaster, they need a An external force injects vitality and vitality into the city."

Old Orion stared blankly at the tall adventurer in front of him, Fiercely took a puff of cigarette, and then suffocated.

He stood up from the corner, patted the dust on his body, and nodded to Zhong Ye..." He said, "I went to discuss with Luke

I saw the old hunter walk in. In the crowd, Zhong Ye put down his big sword and started the morning exercise with the din of hustle and bustle.

white aerosol overflowed from the nostrils and the corners of the mouth, and vaguely converged into certain shapes...
