MTL - Fairy, Please Let Me Explain-Chapter 276 Captive

  Chapter 276 Captivity

   It turns out that

  As a princess, Princess Li Qingyan's hugging skills are indeed much better than Ran Qingmo's ice lump.

   After holding him for a lap, he didn't feel dizzy at all.

  If it were replaced by Da Bingduozi's way of running with his feet, he would probably have started to retch on the ground by now.

  Thinking, Xu Yuan smiled subconsciously, and patted his arms. Holding him in her arms, the woman said softly:

   "Put me down first."

"Um."

  Li Qingyan glanced at him with downcast eyes, bent over with a smile, put him down gently, and softly instructed: "Be careful."

  “.”

   Toe landing,

  Seeing her tall and graceful figure, heroic yet gentle, and those condescending red phoenix eyes, Xu Yuan's heartbeat speeded up inexplicably for a moment.

   Hiss.

   Broken, how do you feel that he has become a princess?

  This bad girl really has too many eyes.

  But a man can bend and stretch, and he will just hug him back in the future.

  The corridor behind it was as dark as ink, and the two of them were standing on the cliff extending from the corridor at this moment.

  There is no cave roof above, and no abyss below.

  The wind at the entrance of the corridor was cold and bitter, blowing his long hair, Li Qingyan looked into the distance, and slightly frowned:

   "My son-in-law, this cave doesn't seem to be formed naturally, and there are heavy traces of excavation by magic.

"and,

   "There doesn't seem to be the kind of black death creep in this cave."

  “.”

  Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes and scanned the inner wall near the cave beside the cliff.

  As Li Qingyan said, those luxuriant maroon creepers stopped abruptly when they reached the exit of the tunnel. The inner wall of the cave was very smooth, not like it was formed naturally, and there was no vegetation entrenched on it at all.

   And his gaze followed the smooth inner wall of the cave to the distance. Even with the remaining energy of Li Qingyan in his body, Xu Yuan couldn't see the mountain wall on the other side of the cave at all.

some,

   It's just blackness that stretches as far as the eye can see.

  The underground giant city located at the bottom of the abyss below the cliff is also vaguely hidden in the darkness.

  Li Qingyan observed Xu Yuan's expression, and suddenly spoke again:

   "Looking at your expression, son-in-law, it seems that your prime minister has no information about this cave and this underground city?"

   Xu Yuan glanced at her and spit out:

"have."

  The words fall,

   After a moment of silence, he added another sentence:

   "But not much."

"not much?"

  Li Qingyan murmured without any nonsense, and said straightforwardly: "Then do we need to go down and have a look?"

   "Don't worry."

  Xu Yuan pondered and did not reply, trying to recall the relevant information of the dead underground palace in his mind.

  To be honest, he didn't remember that there was such a huge underground ancient city in the Black Death Palace.

   Fortunately, he soon managed to find a "map" that matched the surrounding scenery.

   There is also a huge karst cave on the outskirts of the wild dungeon of the Dead Underground Palace, but inside it is just a dilapidated village consisting of a few dilapidated houses and mysterious sculptures.

  Thinking of this, Xu Yuan has a slightly weird expression.

   It’s not that he thinks the changes are too big, after all, he has seen quite a few of the prefectures that can be run in less than ten seconds in “Cang Yuan” turn into reality and become huge cities where millions of people gather.

   Such a majestic ancient city appeared in the lair of the White Walkers, how strange it looked.

  At the beginning, Xu Yuan didn't care about these artificial creations. After all, there was no information about the ghosts in Cangyuan.

  Combined with the weird sculptures in the village, and the undead characteristics and disgusting tentacles displayed by the follow-up monsters, he tacitly believes that this dead underground palace is the stronghold of a cult or even the main altar.

  According to the knowledge reserves in my mind, I directly made up a set of cults to kill themselves, create a group of monsters through "sacrifices", and then played with fire and set themselves on fire to destroy their hometown.

   But now it seems that is not the case at all.

  Xu Yuan stared at the quiet ancient city below, quickly summarizing the known information in his mind.

  White ghosts also build houses?

   In other words,

  White ghosts, did they also have civilization?

   "Then let's go down and have a look."

  In the silence, Xu Yuan's plain voice came into Li Qingyan's ears clearly.

   Without saying a word, Li Qingyan bent down neatly, and hugged Princess Xu Yuan in his arms again, with her phoenix eyes drooping slightly, and her voice softly:

   "Just jump down?"

  “.”

  The woman's body felt soft to the touch, and Xu Yuan suddenly realized that it's actually pretty good to experience this kind of irresistible tenderness once in a while.

  But how can a man be depressed and stay under others for a long time?

  Xu Yuan glanced around and replied calmly:

   "Jump directly, the way out of this underground palace should be near this city."

   After finishing speaking, he silently reached out and hooked Li Qingyan's neck.

  In the previous life "Cang Yuan", the player fell into this dead underground palace through a cave, and the place where he fell was an ordinary passage near the ancient underground city.

  In other words, as long as he and Li Qingyan find the tunnel, they can return to the ground through the cave that goes directly to the ground.

  In the silence, Li Qingyan stepped on his feet slightly, and the sound of the wind whistled past his ears again.

   It was as if the bottom of an abyss shrouded in black mist quickly zoomed in and out before his eyes. Just as he was about to hit the ground, a faint but precise source of energy emanated from Li Qingyan's body.

   Then, those jade feet wrapped in maroon armor lightly stepped on the bottom of the abyss

  Xu Yuan and Li Qingyan walked side by side on the stone road to the ancient city with solemn expressions.

   Yes, flagstones.

   At the bottom of the black abyss, a not-so-spacious road was artificially built, and on both sides of the road there were large fields for growing crops.

   And in this field ridge, some strange-looking crops are being planted, like rapeseed flowers, but the fields are neat and orderly. It seems that the fruits hanging on the branches seem to be about to ripen.

   There was silence all around, only the rustling footsteps of Xu Yuan and Li Qingyan.

  For a while,

  Xu Yuan suddenly asked:

   "Qing Yan, these crops can grow underground without sunlight, do you know what it is?"

  Li Qingyan replied softly while guarding his surroundings:

   "It's not about the crops, it's about the soil. The soil under this black abyss is basil."

   "Hundred breath soil?" Xu Yuan frowned.

   "A kind of soil that can grow precious medicinal materials, which is very precious."

  Speaking, Li Qingyan blinked at Xu Yuan, and half-jokingly said: "As the son-in-law said before, if we go out, we can make a fortune just by relying on such a vast land of hundreds of breaths under this black abyss."

  Xu Yuan was dumbfounded for a moment, and then asked solemnly:

   "Qing Yan, you should see traces of human activities here, right?"

  Li Qingyan glanced at him and nodded:

   "If no one takes care of it, even the hundred-spirited soil will grow overgrown with weeds after thousands of years."

  Xu Yuan looked at the city wall that was getting closer, touched his chin, squinted and smiled:

   "That is to say, there are still artificial"

  The voice has not yet fallen,

   "Dang!"

   "Dang!"

  Twice the sound of the bowstring stretching suddenly resounded!

  With the blessing of the Black Death Armor and the Blood Origin Heart Falling Art, even if Xu Yuan is only a fifth-grade condensed soul, he can still capture the incoming black shadow.

   are two giant crossbow bolts from the city wall!

   One shot at him, the other at Li Qingyan.

   Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan's eyes revealed a hint of thoughtfulness, without the slightest intention of avoiding it.

   And for a moment,

  A white jade hand half-wrapped in brown-red thin armor appeared in front of his eyes

   "Om—"

   A trill.

  The strong wind lifted Xu Yuan's long hair, and the sharp arrow tip was less than half a foot away from the center of his eyebrows.

  The half-foot-long giant crossbow was held directly by Li Qingyan in his hand, and the tail trembled continuously due to the strong inertia.

   Another giant arrow shot at Li Qingyan's heart, but was directly crushed by her soft curves.

   These two giant crossbows came from the ancient city.

  But without the blessing of Li Qingyan's Yuan Qi, Xu Yuan couldn't clearly see the scene above the ancient city in the pitch-black environment, so he asked casually:

   "A person?"

  Holding the giant crossbow, Li Qingyan looked at the ancient city with great interest, and asked in a clear voice:

   "Looks like a human, kill him?"

  Xu Yuan thought for a moment:

   "Is it dangerous? If not, take me there first."

  Li Qingyan shook his head, his phoenix eyes flickered with red flames, staring at the city:

   "No, those "people" on the city wall have no energy fluctuations of the seventh rank."

more than one.

  Xu Yuan frowned:

   "Take me there to see."

  The words fall,

  Li Qingyan didn't say a word, and directly embraced Xu Yuan's waist, making a vertical leap.

  The distance of several miles passes by in an instant.

  The two quietly landed on the sentry tower at the head of the ancient city, and Xu Yuan immediately heard a deliberately lowered voice coming from below:

   "The group of aliens are here! Go and inform Lord Si Ming, and let the blood armor guards prepare for battle."

   "Don't stop, keep pulling the bed crossbow!"

  Dayan language with some dialect, but barely understandable.

  Xu Yuan should go to the prestige,

  On the tower below, a group of "soldiers" in a hurry are mobilizing before the battle.

  Their clothes are a bit different, probably because of the lack of underground materials, their bodies are basically woven from some plants.

   However, as soldiers, the soldiers on the walls of this ancient city seem a little unqualified.

  Used to see elites like the Beifeng Army and the Black Scale Army, the preparations of these people seem strange to Xu Yuan, which is a bit funny.

   He even saw some of them huddled in a corner because they were afraid of direct disobedience.

  However, the body structure of these people seems a little weird.

  He, who has practiced the blood-color kung fu, can't see the distance of several miles, and these underground palace people whose source energy can't fluctuate at the seventh rank can actually see him.

  Xu Yuanzheng was thinking,

  The group of "soldiers" below seemed to have finally realized something was wrong, and their voices trembled in fear:

   "Boss, boss? Those two ghosts are gone."

"What?"

  The man called Chief turned his head suddenly, saw the empty stone road, seemed to realize something, and quickly shouted in a low voice:

   "Hold on, don't panic, just wait for Lord Si Ming to come over!"

  Following the voice of the "Chief Chief", panic spread directly above the city wall.

  Some of the soldiers with Yuan Qi on their bodies suffered from the panic of approaching death, and gradually lost their minds and gritted their teeth and cursed:

   "Hold on? How to hold on?! This speed is obviously those striped white walkers who can turn us into monsters!"

   "What kind of **** is commanding your life? Wouldn't it be better to honestly make offerings to those monsters, and protect mortals? Isn't that what mortals are used to make offerings? This has been done for generations."

   "It's all you bastards. When the Lord Priest was around, he would only feed those monsters two hundred mortals every year. It was the woman who ordered the woman to kill the Lord Priest!"

   "Two years ago, Diyang City was directly slaughtered by those striped ghosts, now it's all right, it's our turn, hahaha"

  “.”

  “.”

   Chaos continued to spread on the city wall, and the morale collapsed without even seeing the enemy.

  Xu Yuan listened to the shouts below, and looked aside:

   "Qing Yan, what do you think?"

   Li Qingyan lowered her phoenix eyes and shook her head slightly:

  "A group of vulnerable mobs, there probably isn't a single decent general in this city."

  Xu Yuan burst out laughing.

  If Li Qingyan's soldiers dared to behave like this, they would have been dragged out and beheaded long ago.

   Shaking his head, Xu Yuan whispered, raised his finger slightly, and pointed to the crowd below:

   "I know, I mean the underground city system here, don't you think it's a bit strange?"

  Li Qingyan narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly:

   "It's really strange, even the body structure has changed, these people should have been living in this underground for generations since thousands of years ago.

"However, according to what you said in your son-in-law, the level of armament shown by their city cannot be sustained under the hands of those strange ghosts. Let alone a first-rank strange ghost, even a third-rank strange ghost can control this city. Butchered."

"yes."

  Xu Yuan looked up at the inner wall of the cave hidden in the darkness in the distance, and said faintly: "This is indeed strange."

  The current situation has completely exceeded Xu Yuan's grasp of information.

   At the very least,

  In the silent underground palace in "Cangyuan", Xu Yuan has never met any living person, not even the dead bones.

   Except for the other ghosts, the only thing that can move is the player himself.

  However, after listening to the words of the soldiers below who erupted out of fear, and combined with the information given during the chat with old man Luo in his previous life, he still managed to figure out the current situation.

first,

  The area covered by this dead underground palace is really huge, so large that there are far more than one of these underground city pools and giant caves.

   In other words,

  In "Cang Yuan", the dilapidated city he met was not the one in front of him.

   It may be the "Diyang City" that the soldier said just now, or it may be something else.

   Next,

  The "human beings" living in these underground cities have cultivators and armaments that are completely incomparable with those ghosts entrenched in the dead palace.

  Thousands of years, they can only exchange for "peace" through "sacrifice".

  But when you think about it this way, a problem arises.

  Although old man Luo said that high-level aliens have intelligence, they will be obliterated as time goes by, and eventually turn into a beast that only knows **** and transform the same kind.

  In this case, why can the "human beings" here use sacrifices in exchange for lingering?

  Thinking of this,

  Xu Yuan frowned a little bit, and looked at Li Qingyan:

   "Qing Yan, I probably know what's going on here"

  Li Qingyan seemed to be thinking about this question too, blinked, then looked back and asked:

   "Is this ancient city for captivity?"

  “.”

  Xu Yuan was a little surprised at the intelligence of the other party, but after looking at this ancient giant city, he sighed faintly:

"right,

   "This underground palace,

   "There is a high probability that it is a test site built by the human race ten thousand years ago to study creatures like the White Walkers."
