Warlock War

Vol 2 Chapter 26: Cursed bridge

   After hearing the joyous voice of the knight in front of the team, Wang Xu subconsciously lowered his head, turned slightly to the side, and looked down towards the gap between the rotating stairs.

I saw that there was a space covered with volcanic ash more than ten meters below Wang Xu’s own position. I don’t know how thick the volcanic ash is. Anyway, Wang Xu can’t see the ground at all, let alone volcanic ash. Are there any more sinister organs and traps on the ground below?

  Although Wang Xu's mind is still full of doubts, other people don't have so many thoughts.

   "Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff..." The knights all jumped from the stairs into the volcanic ash. Watching the knights who jumped into the volcanic ash but were still safe, Wang Hao also jumped down the stairs with confidence.

  Since no one has been here for thousands of years, the volcanic ash accumulated on the ground is too thick. The thickness of the volcanic ash accumulated on the ground instantly disappeared from everyone's waist. The shorter ones were buried in the chest by the volcanic ash.

   It may be because this was one of the exits of the abyssal demons to the ground in ancient times, so the space here is quite spacious, fifty or sixty people standing here do not feel the slightest sense of urgency.

"Here... there is a hole here!" Under the light from the mahogany sword, a knight waved his right arm high, greeted everyone, and shouted: "A hot wind blows from this hole. , This may be an exit!"

Hearing the knight's call, Wang Xu turned his head and looked at the hole he was pointing at. He saw that on the curved obsidian wall, there was a circle of silver metal arches with a height of two people, on the lintel of the metal arch. There are many dense black runes engraved on it.

   Wang Xu had seen similar runes, and knew that their content was not something like a curse, but a magic rune carved on the surface of the metal by dwarf craftsmen in order to increase the hardness of the metal.

  Except for the king who knew those runes, everyone else couldn't understand what those runes were. They thought they were curses, so they all hesitated, wondering if they should walk into this weird metal arch?

At this time, the sound of "click, click..." sounded around, everyone turned their heads and looked at the direction of the sound. I saw that all the floors on the entire rotating staircase had shrunk into the curved wall. Among.

   Seeing this situation, everyone understands that everyone has no turning back and can only move on, and can only enter the metal arch.

   "You let me go," Warren, who was carrying Wang Xu's back, whispered in Wang Xu's ear: "We don't need to run away anymore. I can handle the rest of the road by myself."

"Well," Wang Xu released his left hand holding Warren's arms, shook his shoulders, and put Warren down. However, after seeing the surrounding volcanic ash buried Warren's chest, Wang Xu Xu asked in a low voice: "Are you...really all right?"

   "It's okay." Warren smiled slightly and walked two steps in the volcanic ash. It seemed that he could still move slowly in the volcanic ash.

   "That's good." Wang Xun squinted his eyes and watched all his movements, then he curled his lips slightly and smiled, and then nodded at Warren, agreeing with him.

"Everyone listened to me." Wang Xu shouted loudly, and after attracting everyone's attention, he continued to shout: "The runes on the metal arches are the words of the dwarves, not the curse of the devil, those runes It is used to consolidate the metal structure and increase the hardness of the metal. It has no other effect. We can enter the arch, but we still have to be careful. Maybe there will be some mechanisms inside."

   After hearing the first half of Wang Xu's words, everyone had already stepped forward to enter the metal arch. However, after hearing the second half of Wang Xu's words, they began to hesitate again.

"Listen, you are following me," Wang Xu stepped forward, moved his waist, squeezed the volcanic ash below the waist, walked with difficulty to the door of the metal arch, turned around and said to everyone: "Pay attention to my actions. , I go, you will follow, I stop, you will stop, if I shout, you will follow me forward, if I shout back, you quickly retreat, understand?"

   "Understood." Everyone replied in unison. It is obvious that after the ordeal of the spiral staircase just now, Wang Xu's prestige in the whole team has become even higher, and he is even about to surpass Warren.

Warren doesn’t care about Wang Xu’s increasing prestige in his team, and even somewhat happy to see it. He believes that one of the reasons why Wang Xu does not accept his recruitment may be That is, Wang Xu has not yet realized the pleasure of mastering power. If Wang Xu is used to the happiness that power brings him, as long as he gives him more power, he will definitely accept his recruitment and return to the Griffin Kingdom with himself. of.

   Different from Warren's forward-looking vision, Downs and Thornton are a bit dissatisfied. In their eyes, this team is clearly their own team. Why is there no reason for an outsider to talk about it here?

Although the two of them did feel dissatisfied, no one said it. After all, the situation is better than humans. Both of them understand that the half-elf named Wang Xu is really stronger than himself in terms of strength. In this unknown and dangerous environment, the leader who can lead everyone alive can only be the half-elf called Wang Xu.

   "Let's go, let's go!" Wang Xu commanded the glowing peach wood sword to fly into the metal arch, illuminating the way inside, and then stepped into the metal arch.

The volcanic ash in the arch is much less than the outside. The thickest part can only barely bury Wang Xu’s ankle. Therefore, here, Wang Xu’s actions were not greatly disturbed, despite his flexibility. Sex has improved a lot, but Wang Xu still turned his head to the people behind him and exhorted loudly: "Everyone stay away from me, at least five meters away from me, don’t lean too close, if something happens to me, you guys There is still a chance to escape!"

   In this way, under the light of the mahogany sword, Wang Xu carefully observed all the things in the metal arch that might be traps, and led everyone to the depths of the arch.

It’s been about five or six minutes since I walked, and I’ve walked two or three hundred meters, but I haven’t seen one of the traps, and I can’t even see the end of the arch. Wang Xuxin said, I’m going, no wonder this A cylindrical wall can be built so high. It turns out that the wall is so thick. It is almost 500 meters thick. If you want to build such a thick and high wall, it will take tens of thousands of people to build a wall. For decades, the demons who built this wall are too capable of tossing!

   walked for another seven or eight minutes. Suddenly, Wang Xu felt a hot wind blowing in front of him, vaguely, from the smoke-like volcanic ash that filled the surroundings, he could see an arched red halo not far away.

   "It's the end!" Wang Xu turned his head and shouted at the crowd behind him, then he gave a wry smile, and said to his heart, this wall is really invincible, it is more than a thousand meters thick, too strong!

After walking only more than ten meters, he clearly saw the end of the metal arch. The excitement in Wang Xu's heart was like discovering the new world. Although he was very excited, his mind was still very calm. He was still careful. Observing all the details around the arch, he didn't want to be completely dead by the trap at the last moment.

   walked more than ten meters, Wang Xu finally reached the end of the metal arch. After taking a step from the metal arch, Wang Xu looked around. Here is a new world.

   I saw that under the metal arch, there is a staircase with only three steps connected, and under the staircase is connected a semicircular volcanic rock platform about the size of a basketball court.

   On the opposite side of the volcanic rock platform outside the metal arch, there is a larger volcanic rock platform. It seems that the opposite platform is almost the size of a football field.

   Between the two volcanic rock platforms is a river valley more than 100 meters wide and tens of meters deep. Unlike ordinary river valleys, there is a river of magma flowing at the bottom of the valley.

   Above the river of magma, there is a thin layer of mist. When the mist rises to a high place and cools down, it solidifies into patches of volcanic dust flying with the heat.

Because of these volcanic dust, Wang Xu couldn’t see what was on the larger platform on the opposite side. He could only vaguely see. Behind the platform, there was a cliff so high that the top could not be seen. It seems to be trimmed with a door or something.

Above the river of magma, there is a suspension bridge more than 100 meters long. This suspension bridge connects two large and small volcanic rock platforms. This suspension bridge is composed of six black oil and thick metal chains. On the chain, densely engraved with countless blood-red devil characters.

   On top of the four horizontal metal chains, rectangular obsidian slabs are laid as the bridge deck, and on the bridge deck, many blood-red devil characters are also engraved.

   The remaining two metal chains are located on both sides of the bridge deck, more than half a person high from the bridge deck. Numerous black metal chains with thick fingers connect the obsidian bridge deck to the two thicker metal chains above.

After reading the surrounding environment, Wang Xu took a closer look and felt that it was too hot here, it was almost 70 or 80 degrees. However, after experiencing the trial of the sulfur fire in the rotating staircase, Wang Xu is used to this high temperature, and he doesn't even feel anything anymore.

  The only thing that made Wang Xu happy is that the sulfur smell here is not very heavy. It is estimated that the sulfur gas here has been evaporated by the high temperature of the magma river.

   "Come here all," Wang Xu turned around, beckoned to the people five or six meters away from him who were still inside the metal arch, and added loudly: "It's a bit hot here, be careful."

After speaking, Wang Xu walked down the three-step staircase and walked to the semicircular volcanic rock platform. Standing on the edge of the platform, Wang Xu looked down at the "Guru Guru" boiling lava river. , He saw many half-human fire elemental creatures playing and playing in the magma river.

After taking a breath of air-conditioning, Wang Xu shook his head slightly, feeling in his heart. Fortunately, this platform is high enough, and it is still tens of meters high from the lava river below. If it is lower, the fire elemental creatures Then you can jump on the platform. In that case, a fierce battle is inevitable. After all, the fire elemental creatures are the worst tempered and the best fighting of all species.

   Not long after, everyone in the team came to the platform, only the fainted Livka, like a sleeping beauty, still sleeping sweetly on the door of the water cedar.

  The people who came to this volcanic rock platform finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they all fell apart.

   Warren, Downs and Thornton stood in the middle of the platform, seeming to be discussing something.

   Sanggu walked to Wang Xu's side, put the giant tower shield on the ground, and lay on it, panting. It seemed that he was really exhausted.

   Some knights, like Sanggu, sat on their steel shields. A few people formed a circle, chatting about the previous experience without a word.

   There are also some knights, standing on the edge of the platform, looking down at the fire elemental creatures in the river of magma that are playing and fighting.

There was a knight who behaved very special. He stared at the suspension bridge in front of him with dull eyes, staring at the blood-red demon text on the bridge. Suddenly, he seemed to be attracted by something, and he reached out and held it. The chain handrails on the suspension bridge stepped on the bridge violently and slowly walked towards the opposite side of the suspension bridge.

   "What are you doing!" After seeing a heavy armored knight walking on that very strange suspension bridge alone, UU read www. uukanshu.com Wang Xu immediately shouted: "Come back, don't go there!"

To be honest, Wang Xu doesn’t know what organs and traps are on this suspension bridge full of devil characters, but it looks terrifying, so Wang Xu has reminded others earlier not to walk on that weird one. Suspension bridge.

   But, to Wang Xu’s surprise, there are people who are so kind that they dare to walk on the bridge alone, and they are not afraid of death.

Wang Xu’s shout attracted the attention of other people. They followed Wang Xu’s gaze and looked towards the bridge deck. They saw a knight walking along the suspension bridge in the thick heat and volcanic dust. Go to the opposite side.

With a scream of    "Ah!", I saw the knight walking on the bridge suddenly squatted down, holding his head in his hands, shaking his whole body, hissing in pain.

Suddenly, a crimson flame ignited all over his body. In an instant, his armor melted into molten iron, his clothes burned to ashes, and his body was burned, leaving only a pale skeleton. The scary thing is that the skeleton still maintained the posture of the knight squatting and holding his head.

   Everyone was stunned, they all looked at the skeleton in the middle of the bridge with surprise, forgetting where they were.

"I'll go, no." Looking at the tragic appearance of the knight, Wang Xu's mouth twitched unnaturally, and then continued to mutter to himself in a low voice: "It seems that those devilish words are a curse. It seems to be a curse only aimed at foreigners. After all, this suspension bridge is the only way for the demons to travel to and from the lava river. They cannot engrave a curse that hurts themselves on this road."

   Just as Wang Xu was thinking about how to safely cross the cursed bridge, another knight looked at the cursed bridge with a dull gaze, and then slowly walked towards the bridge...
