Pushing open the heavy iron gate, the deep and dark tunnel stretched downwards. The torches dotted on both sides were not lit at this time, and only some moss rooted on the wall were emitting faint spots of light.

"Frank hasn't seen him for a few months, and his confidence has grown a lot."

Thanks to the physical transformation of the two ring-ascension ceremonies, even without taking potions, Connor's body is far beyond ordinary people.

So even if there is no light source, whether it is the scene in the tunnel or the slight curse behind him, they are still in Connor's perception.

And the main reason for Connor to say this was the moss on the walls on both sides.

Fluorescent moss is a plant that only grows in dark, damp and dead places. Interestingly, it has a certain exorcism effect, so it is also a specific material for certain rituals, magic, and potions.

"Where poisonous snakes haunt, is there an antidote within a hundred steps?" ①Chinese

Connor curled his lips, dismissed the idea of starting a fire, and continued walking towards the depths of the tunnel.

The dark and low-light environment makes people gradually blur the concept of time, while the echoing and overlapping footsteps further test the bottom line of the mind.

Connor held a grass-root-like thing in his mouth, and walked leisurely, looking around from time to time.

The tunnel extending downward became wider and wider, and there were more and more forks.

The torches and moss hanging on both sides of the wall seem to be prepared for this purpose. They will only appear in special lanes. After a little calm thinking, it is not difficult to guess that they are props used to guide the direction.

However, Connor's focus is not on these.

The rustling sound was weak and sparse, but the sound that was difficult for ordinary people to detect was extremely clear to Connor's ears.

"Ghoul"

"The Walking Dead"

"Water Ghost"

"Scavenger"

Connor read softly, but his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Is Frank crazy?"

"Is it true that the third game and the churches are just a display?"

Stretching out his hand to grab the air, a European-style crossed half-handed sword suddenly appeared in his hand. The uniquely shaped ancient runes on the silver-white sword glowed faintly in the dark.

The long sword tapped lightly on the wall a few times, and the crisp sound spread along the tunnel in all directions.

The originally rustling voice suddenly paused, and then suddenly concentrated in Connor's direction.

As the strange roar and hoarse sound got closer and closer, Connor unhurriedly took out a bone seal from his pocket, and at the same time held the long sword upwards, resting the blade on his forearm , the upper body is slightly lowered, and the legs are slightly bent.

Demon hunter, snake faction, short strike.

In just a few breaths, the first group of visitors arrived around Connor.

Relying on his senses and the faint light given by the fluorescent moss, Connor examined the other person's appearance.

The pale and shriveled body was like a dehydrated corpse with only a thin film stuck to the skeleton. The deformed forelimbs were thicker than the twisted and weirdly twisted hindlimbs.

The ugly, long and narrow head is like a canine with its flesh removed, and its big hideous mouth is full of jagged fangs.

Ghouls are a kind of monster that often feed on carrion and dead bodies. Although they say so, in fact, these disgusting guys prefer fresh flesh and blood, and they have an extraordinary love and attachment to humans.

So in some legends, this disgusting creature is usually described as being transformed from cannibal humans.

But actually, who knows, anyway, Connor doesn't believe it.

After all, a certain church still said that ghouls appeared as a result of God's punishment against the will of the gods.

Just as Connor had finished estimating the quantity and quality of the ghouls, other sounds came from the other side. First, a fat and bloated scavenger, followed by a water ghost with fish fins, and finally a scavenger. A rotting corpse.

They growled at Connor, but they didn't try to get close to him. They just kept wandering around, making Connor feel disgusted.

The bone seal was held high, and Connor took a few steps forward tentatively. The surrounding monsters roared and retreated as if they were stimulated by something.

"It seems that Frank has really lost all his money."

After thinking about it for a while, Connor finally gave up the idea of destroying these monsters. Not to mention that these things are of little value, he just washed them against the stench produced by the exploding scavengers after they died. If it was not necessary, Connor really didn't want to Go hunt these things.

Holding up the seal, he briefly identified the road. Amidst the howls of the monsters, Connor held the long sword and continued to march towards the depths with a big stab.

Accompanied by a group of monsters, Connor finally arrived at the destination of this trip, in front of a heavy stone door.

Five flaming braziers were scattered in several directions one by one, and the distorted Nilante text was vaguely depicted on the stone gate and the walls on both sides.

For a cow that had been disemboweled, its limbs and head were cut off separately, and then neatly stacked on the small stone pile in front of the stone gate.

"It's getting more and more interesting"

After briefly analyzing the meaning of the words and the function of the ceremony, Connor looked away,

He avoided the brazier and walked around the dark brown stone pile. The heavy stone door in front of him was slightly open, leaving a gap for one person to walk through.

Without stopping any longer, Connor's figure sank directly into the darkness, leaving behind only the group of roaring monsters who were reluctant to leave.

...

Frank,

Full name Frank.

No one knows whether this is his surname or his first name, but this does not prevent many people from knowing him.

As a well-known black market dealer and slave trader in the underground world of Bekley, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has always been known for his cruelty, blood and revenge.

Many people know that he is an extraordinary person, but only a small number of people know that he also has super high attainments in necromancy and spell rituals.

At the same time, he is also one of the gatekeepers of Beckley's underground gate, which is why he has basically done all kinds of bad things, but he is still tolerated by the third game and various churches.

Otherwise, would it still be the absolute neutral position he insisted on?

Don't be kidding, if there are no special measures, those who insist on neutrality are often the first to die.

...

A solemn and solemn black robe, collarless, with flying sleeves and wide waist, hanging down to the ground.

On the thick ten fingers are gemstone rings that sparkle in different colors of red, green, blue and pink.

Frank sat on the thick stone chair, crossed his hands, and stared at the uninvited guest in front of him with an unkind expression.

"Don't be like this, your old friend is back, shouldn't you be happy?"

Connor sat down on the long stone table in front of Frank, casually picked up the troll skull placed on the table and played with it, and said seemingly casually.

"Connor, if this is the only sentence in your last words." Frank said with a gloomy expression, "Then you can die."

In the dark hall, rustling sounds rang out one after another, and the candles lit on the stone table flickered.
