Chapter 149 Outside the arena(1/2)
A disgusting stench filled the entrance of the sewer, like the aftertaste left after a corpse decomposed, and patina-colored moss was mottled on the water-logged stone bricks and walls, extending into the depths of darkness.
Luo Hao frowned and stood there for a moment, then clattered back on the Shuiyuan Road, took out the communication crystal, and contacted Yu Wenyu: "The guard at the entrance to the sewer is missing."
"Are there signs of a fight?"
"did not find."
"Don't be paranoid. Maybe you're just watching the game. I still don't understand why you care about this."
There was a rustling sound coming from the crystal, which seemed a little distorted.
But Luo Hao didn't think so and shook his head: "As far as I know, this sewer can lead to the bottom of Elfendor."
"So what?" The other party's tone was obviously impatient.
Luo Hao took the crystal away slightly and said, "That is the core area of the spire, otherwise they would not arrange guards at this entrance."
"What does this have to do with us?"
"Don't forget that the Dragon Cult may be in the same group as the Shadow Throne."
"But our mission is to keep an eye on the people in the Throne of Shadows. And the alchemists are not fools. They know what is going on under the Elfendor Spire. Fatty Luo, you'd better come back as soon as possible."
Luo Hao was about to say more when he suddenly heard a sound of wind. He turned around intelligently, and the whizzing gray light hit the communication crystal in his hand. The crystal flew out of his hand and swirled into the water.
He looked back and realized that it was a gray feathered arrow. The arrow had penetrated into the wall, and its tail feathers were still trembling.
Luo Hao broke out in a cold sweat, turned around again, and saw a long and narrow shadow walking out of the sewer.
The shadow passed through the sunlight and was imprinted diagonally on the ground. Its owner was a tall lizard man with brown-grey skin, looking down at him with narrow, cold pupils.
Luo Hao noticed that it was dragging a long spear-like tail behind it. The tail was curled and swept from one side to the other, just blocking his way.
But lizards don't have spear-like tails. A terrible thought flashed through his mind, and the crazy term "Dragon Minions" emerged.
There was a chilling smile in the other person's narrow pupils, and he bent down and got in, approaching him step by step.
Luo Hao knew that the lowest-level dragon minions were above level fifteen, and the one in front of him was obviously not that kind of unconscious monster, but a higher-level existence.
He glanced at the direction where his crystal disappeared, but it was too late. His heart moved, and he suddenly turned around and ran away.
Escape deeper into the sewer.
Yu Wenyu patted the crystal in his hand suspiciously and frowned.
The other party unilaterally terminated contact, which made him a little uneasy. He looked through the window in the direction of the apartment. There was still no movement at the Throne of Shadows. He just looked back, still a little hesitant. Do you want to go and take a look? But the task assigned by the group leader
You can never leave it behind.
Thinking of this, he picked up the crystal again, called up one of the communication numbers, and said:
"Captain, I have something to report..."
…
Alyssa watched with her own eyes as the turbulent lake water merged into a green wall four to five meters high, just like emerald.
The Bai Lian I saw earlier was actually just the broken wave that went ahead.
"Hold on tight!" the big cat man suddenly shouted.
The waterline first reached the inner port area and lifted up the boats parked outside. The smaller fishing boats and yachts seemed to be hanging on a erected wall. The wall made a cracking sound and continued to move forward, taking a photo of the ship not far away.
Carl, let this three-masted sailing ship come across and hit the trestle.
The wood was instantly overwhelmed, cracked and disintegrated, and several trestles were broken into several sections.
From a distance, it looks like the entire port is moving inward.
There was already a panic on the pier. Alyssa saw the workers screaming and passing by Mr. Gray Rock not far away. The tide had already submerged the embankment and rolled up. After it came ashore, the impact was reduced a bit, but it hit Gray Rock.
Mr. Shi still pushed the huge thing to one side and moved it a few steps.
The latter made a low chirping sound and bumped to one side in fear, causing the entire platform to tilt down.
Several chairs, tables and the tea and snacks on them rolled down in one direction, hit the side of the ship, and disappeared into the waves in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, Rhett reminded him in time, and everyone grabbed the other side of the boat to stabilize themselves.
"I'll go down and comfort Mr. Gray Rock." Attila only said one sentence when she saw this. She flexibly rolled down the side of the ship and climbed down along the rope net of the air bag.
"Miss Attila!" Alyssa leaned out of the side of the ship and looked at the rickety rope until Miss Elf's figure disappeared behind the magic engine.
At Mr. Huiyan's feet, there was a vast water. The water had already covered its belly, and countless pieces of wood were floating in the water.
She raised her head, not knowing what had happened.
"Look over there." Baggins said calmly.
Alyssa and Rhett looked in that direction and saw that the first wave crest had passed and the water was receding.
The Skaar was pushed to the shore and tilted to one side. In the inlet in that direction, a strange thing was swimming upstream.
Alyssa took a closer look and realized that they were fish fins, long, spiny fins.
Like blades, they split the water flow and swim towards the port. Their shadows can even be vaguely seen underwater.
"It's the sticklebacks. It looks like they want to cause trouble."
"Don't let them get close," Rhett turned back and said to Baggins: "I'll go down to protect Mr. Gray Rock. There is a high ground to the east. Take Mr. Gray Rock in that direction."
"Alyssa, go and inform Tianlan and the others."
Alyssa nodded quickly.
But at this time, the three of them heard a muffled sound at the same time, coming from far away from the center of the lake. They couldn't help but look in that direction. The previous sound was like the sound of heavy objects falling into the water.
However, this sound came from several miles away, giving people a different feeling.
The three of them saw at the same time that a water ridge slowly rose up on the shining lake there. The water of the long lake looked heavy in the sun, and a huge shadow seemed to be floating in the water ridge.
The previous gurgling sound had now turned into a dull roar that continued continuously.
It just seemed like something huge was rising from under the lake.
The elder sister of the twins gasped:
"Then, what is that?"
"...Corath."
Baggins looked in that direction motionlessly: "The god of fishmen."
…
The match between Shadowthrone and the military is halfway through.
The performance gap between the two sides has never widened. Since they don't know the strength of the military alchemists, Fang Pultru and his team can't tell what the other side's strength is. However, it is obvious that the Shadow Throne team was in the audition that day.
When fighting against them, it was obvious that they retained a lot of strength.
Chickpea was happily talking to others about the news he had just learned: "I heard that the format of the finals has changed a lot this time. It seems to have been decided by many parties on the spur of the moment. There are more than 100 teams participating in the finals.
Two."
Mu Lan and others obviously didn't believe it after hearing this: "Just brag, there are not only two chickpeas, but how many more are there? Then what's the point of the previous knockout rounds? The organizers of the competition are not fools."
"No, no," Chickpea waved his hand quickly: "I said there were more than two teams participating in the finals, and I didn't say they were the eliminated teams, but the participating teams in the main competition."
"Teams participating in the main competition?" Mu Lan frowned and looked at this guy: "What are the teams participating in the main competition doing in this competition? They have no shortage of places."
"So it's Elfen's decision in many aspects," Chickpea replied: "To be honest, the championship of the exhibition competition is meaningless, and the bonus is nothing to us. And there are only a few participating places in total.
By this time, the chief judge actually already has a candidate in mind."
"So this year's organizers probably want to make the finals more meaningful. They decided to let the two teams that entered the finals have a showdown with the main competition teams and Elfendor's own team."
"What's the point of this duel?" Mu Lan asked.
"Of course it makes sense," Chickpea lowered his voice and replied mysteriously: "I heard that Elfin has set up separate rewards for this competition, and I heard that the prizes are very generous."
Fang Yu was listening to a few people whispering and had no intention of interjecting. He had actually known about this play-off match for a long time. It was not a premeditated plan, but just a spur of the moment idea at the banquet in the manor yesterday.
.
However, the news came out so early, which still surprised him.
He was startled when he heard Chickpea talk about rewards. After all, this competition actually has a potential reward, which is to select the next generation successor of Rose Workshop. Of course, in the Efendo Council and the Earl himself
From the looks of it, this heir should have been determined by default.
However, the competition party actually set up another prize, which even he didn't know about. But after thinking about it, he was relieved. After all, this was an additional competition. It would be too strange if there was no prize.
Some.
He just didn't know if this was also the opinion put forward by his teacher, but what Chickpea said next dispelled his doubts.
"This is absolutely true. I heard it from a friend," the other party said: "He has been studying alchemy at the Du Lun School for several years. A standard insider, this proposal was made by the founder of the Du Lun School.
Proposed."
"Pudela?" Fang Plover couldn't help but ask.
Chickpea was stunned: "Do you know Ed too?"
