Kingdom’s Bloodline

Chapter 675: Ghoul Tunnel

In the alley, just as the heroic Prince Thales took a deep breath and was about to stand up and show heroism to save Slimani, Hille grabbed him.

Wait a minute, there are three of them, what are you going to do? Stab their ass with your little sword?

Thales raised a dagger and raised his eyebrows.

Adapt to circumstances.

Well, he really didn't think about it.

Adjustment?

Miss Kevin Dill looked ironic: Yes, it sounds really reassuring.

The three swordsmen were getting closer and closer to Slimani, who limped and ran away against the wall.

Thales sighed:

If they take it away...they'll kill him, something has to be done!

Hillary hesitated for a moment:

Okay, look at mine.

Thales was startled, and grabbed Xi Lai who was about to go out:

Wait, what can you do, what are you going to do? Magic them?

Xi Lai subconsciously pulled away the gloved hand, and rolled her eyes when she heard this:

Adjust measures to local conditions.

Adapt to local conditions...

Thales laughed angrily:

Wow, that sounds just as reassuring.

At this time, another accident happened at the other end of the alley.

Wow! Brothers, happy celebration!

The expressions of the three swordsmen changed, and they looked back warily.

hapiness!

Cool!

Keep drinking!

Drink up the Emerald City!

Like fucking a mother-in-law!

The noise came,

At the exit of the alley, there are shadows and bustling noises, accompanied by a large group of people singing in unison:

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la, proud sailor far away!

It made the pirate flustered!

Turn back and get the captain off the boat!

Wealth and jewels, take it for yourself!

La la la lila, la la la la la...

Singing with an unpleasant melody from far to near, a large group of men in short shirts and carrying wine bottles crossed their shoulders and staggered into the alley.

Thales and Hille glanced at each other: This might be an opportunity.

Slimani, who was struggling to escape, was overjoyed when he saw this, but the leading swordsman frowned, and with a look from him, his two companions stopped the defender, and he turned around to face the group of new drunks.

who are you?

At first, a man reeked of alcohol, his hair was disheveled, and he hiccupped. He managed to hold onto the wall to stabilize his body.

We follow? Four? Hahaha, hahaha!

He was obviously hungover and delirious, he was wheezing when he spoke, and he spoke with a strong rural accent of the South Bank:

Brothers, Da, Da, Da sound to end them, we, we, our four followers, four Senmo people?

After the words were finished, his group of crumbling companions who supported each other cheered and raised their arms in response:

The bravest man!

The cutest person!

sailor!

crew!

drunkard!

The most awesome person!

The mate's slave!

Deck wiper!

The shark's father!

Girls' dream man!

The captain's father!

His ancestor!

His son-in-law!

His wife's lover!

His mistress' mistress!

His son's own father!

His mother's husband!

Pirates—bah, the distributor of wealth at sea!

The alley was narrow, and the wailing and howling of this large group of people was deafening. Even Thales and Xilai who were hiding inside couldn't help covering their ears.

Okay, okay, I understand, the sailors who went ashore, right? Let's go now... The leading swordsman looked disgusted.

But the drunken sailor with the Southern accent waved the bottle as if in a chorus of batons:

We four—

His fellow sailors raised their hands and echoed in unison:

Warriors of the Wyah!

The three swordsmen, as well as Slimani who was captured by them, all had distorted expressions.

etc.

What number of warriors?

Um?

Thales and Xi Lai looked at each other in surprise.

Help—woo! Slimani's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he was about to call out for help, but a swordsman grabbed his mouth roughly.

What, help?

A sailor looked over in a daze:

Help for what?

The leading swordsman stood in front of him calmly, pushing the sailor back:

It's okay, he drank too much.

Oh, brother, did you drink too much? It's good to drink too much!

Another sailor shook the wine bottle and approached the swordsmen cheerfully:

Cheers, Happy Queen's Day!

Hmm, this voice seems familiar?

Thales, who was suspicious, felt more and more wrong the more he heard it.

He leaned against the wall, secretly showing half of his head, and entered the senses of hell.

Of course, Happy Queen's Day, happy. The leading swordsman responded in embarrassment, trying to squeeze through the crowd to leave, but a sailor in the lead grabbed his shoulder.

In Hell Senses, Thales took a closer look:

The person shaking the wine bottle and hooking shoulders with the swordsman, although he smelled of alcohol, his clothes were simple, his hair was disheveled, and his face was dirty...

But that face shape, height and body shape...

Isn't it the first-class security officer of the Star Lake Guard, His Excellency Danny Doyle?

Thales was stunned.

Come, let's have a drink for our great Duke Jann!

I saw D.D's eyes blurred, hooking the swordsman's neck with one hand, and lifting the wine bottle with the other:

I wish him good health!

His companions responded one after another.

Thales narrowed his eyes: this group of 'sailors' full of alcohol, some were noisy, some chimed in, some staggered, some pretended to be drunk, and some kept silent to cover up, but he knew them all. Star Lake Guard's Single-out King Nehi, Old Kong Kong Mutuo, Bronze Kusta, Gao Lao Franzuk, Civilized and Polite Morgan, Old Skin Piloga... …

There are about eight or nine people in total, um, there are a few guys I don't know, probably drunkards who went to the street to get drunk money.

but they...

Of course, if you are in good health, you don't need to drink. Thank you. We are in a hurry, so let's go... The leading swordsman was a little embarrassed, and calmly took off D.D's hand.

He beckoned, and the two companions threatened the terrified Slimani from the left and the right, and were about to squeeze out of the crowd.

But at this moment, D.D suddenly spoke:

Hey, boss, that's not right! I recognize this person!

He took two exaggerated steps, hiccupped, and pointed to the leading swordsman:

Here it is! Everyone! The person you are looking for is here!

ah?

The next second, the crowd parted, and Morgan angrily stepped forward and grabbed the swordsman:

You! It's you, you fucked my wife, right?

The three swordsmen were all taken aback, and the leader was even more confused:

What?

Seeing that Morgan was also smelling of alcohol, he let out a loud pooh:

It's you! I managed to go home yesterday, and you were in her room, and you lied to me that you were here to fix the closet, but I didn't believe it...

The face of the leading swordsman changed:

No, you must have identified the wrong person...

That's right! You also said that it's too hot in the closet, so you have to take off all your clothes to do your work. My mother believed it too...but you can't escape today!

I don't know your wife at all!

Okay, you don't know her at all, and you can still get together!

I—I don't even know you!

Fuck! You don't even know me, yet you still fuck my wife! You're a scumbag!

The swordsman couldn't bear it and roared:

I didn't fuck your wife!

The last person who came to paint the walls at home said the same thing!

Morgan responded equally viciously, unequivocally: But I won't be fooled again! Not anymore!

I think you are here to make trouble - get out! The leading swordsman pushed Morgan away.

But Morgan held down the opponent's arm not to be outdone, D.D greeted from the side, and the sailors flocked to Swordsman and Slimani in unison, and began to push and shove.

Who are you messing with? How dare you mess with my sister-in-law?

Our sister-in-law!

Everyone's sister-in-law!

Don't touch your feet!

Sorry! Lose money!

Pay my sister-in-law!

let's go!

No! You can't go without telling me!

You've got the wrong person!

That's what the last gardener said!

All of a sudden, the alley was crowded with people back and forth. Although the swordsmen were well-trained, they had nowhere to strike, let alone draw their weapons.

What's the situation? In the dark corner, Xi Lai looked confused.

The senses of hell suddenly moved, and Thales raised his head suddenly:

On the edge of the eaves in the distance, a monocular telescope retracted.

But this does not prevent Thales from recognizing that it is Itariano in the Star Lake Guard. The latter is trusted by Mallos.

The conflict and pushing in the alley became more and more uncontrollable. Finally, the last swordsman who held Slimani loosened his hand, and the defender fell to the ground and crawled forward with his head covered.

The leading swordsman saw this scene and shouted anxiously:

No, no, stop him!

But before he finished speaking, Morgan's fist covered his head:

Don't even think about leaving!

The sailors adjusted their positions tacitly, and just missed Slimani, and bet the three struggling swordsmen.

Seeing Slimani who was slowly crawling towards them inch by inch, Xilai's eyes widened in disbelief.

At this moment, a greeting came from behind Thales:

Hey you!

Thales and Xileqiqi looked back vigilantly, but were surprised to find that the person standing behind was Huai Ya—the real Huai Ya.

The prince's attendant changed his outfit and wore a small leather hat. Now he looked like a brother next door who came out to run errands and do work.

Huai— Thales was about to blurt out subconsciously, but stopped abruptly.

Hillary narrowed her eyes.

Wyah - the real one - took a deep breath and stepped forward.

You! Huai Ya said angrily.

Oops.

Thales suddenly remembered that he sneaked out to act alone, and he hadn't communicated with Wyatt beforehand.

Just like last time in Dragon Clouds City.

The attendant stared at Thales angrily, his chest heaving, obviously very angry at the prince's private idea:

Magic Master Wyah?

Xi Lai's eyelids twitched, and he took a half step back consciously, giving the stage to the remaining two.

Thales was a little embarrassed by the real Wyah staring at him:

that--

But before the prince could speak, Wyatt took out a money bag and put it into Thales' hands.

You dropped something.

Um?

Thales didn't have time to react, so Huai Ya snorted angrily, turned and left, and soon disappeared at the end of the alley.

Thales was left holding the money bag blankly, at a loss.

What's that? Xi Lie came over curiously from the side.

Thales raised his head, looked at the position monitored by Itariano, then at the sailor who was shoving with the swordsmen behind him, and finally looked at the direction in which Wyah disappeared.

That's... a safety rope. He said coyly.

safety rope?

Xi Lai understood, and sighed:

Little princess.

Thales looked unhappy:

You! I'll talk to you about this later... Now it's time for us to do it.

The next moment, when Slimani finally crawled out of the crowd, climbed to the end of the alley, and raised his head like a survivor, he saw a poor boy and a flower girl standing in front of him, smiling at him.

You, you, it's you! Those two jugglers across the street just now!

Xi Lai tilted her head: Huh?

Thales shrugged, That's right.

Slimani didn't recognize the two people whose appearance had changed drastically, but he remembered something, with a frightened expression:

The one who shaved his head was right! You really have a problem—

Yes, we have a problem. We are following you. We have ulterior motives. We are foreign forces, and we are walking half a million people. Thales pulled him up from the ground and said impatiently, So, are you willing now? Follow us, or follow the group of people with military regulation swords?

Slimani was dizzy, but he understood the last sentence.

A man with a military regulation sword...

The defender looked hesitantly at the alleyway behind him: a group of big men were still pushing each other, sweating profusely.

Tell you to fuck my wife! Fuck my wife! Fuck my wife!

My wife is the only one who can do it!

Yes! Our sister-in-law is the only one who can do...

Slimani turned around, swallowed his throat, and showed an ugly smile.

Soon, the figures of the three disappeared into the alley, leaving only the shouts of a group of big men one after another.

After an unknown amount of time, three cowering figures—Thales, Xilai, and Slimani—finally appeared in front of another street fork.

It must be Kaguire, this coward, he betrayed me.

Slimani limped under the support of Thales, lost his mind:

I thought he protected important people and could know more about the inside story, but...Damn, I helped him so much in the past, let him skyrocket to the security hall, I treat him as a friend...

Yes, long live friendship—there are two security officers turning left ahead. Thales responded incongruously, while vigilantly looking around with his hell senses.

Hilley turned the corner deftly and led them onto another street that wasn't patrolled by constables.

And my lord duke, he actually wanted to kill me—oh, Slimani stomped his feet in pain, but forgot that there was a wound on his foot, so the pain increased, I have done so much for him, But he...

Hey!

Xi Lai couldn't bear it anymore: Concentrate, okay? Great Advocate, we are saving your life, no, to be precise, we are running for your life!

Only then did Slimani come back to his senses, and looked at the two people beside him.

Magician Wyia? Wyah? Yes, I am familiar with this name. It seems that this name has appeared somewhere. Yes, it is the guest list of the Battle of the Battle Banquet. You are, you are...

Slimani's expression changed and his hands trembled:

Are you the prince's people?

Thales frowned, but Hille answered before him.

Yes, we serve the Polaris, Xi Lai blinked mysteriously, then poked Thales, if the stars are there—

With a look of eating shit on his face, Thales reluctantly continued:

Empire, that, forever.

Slimani was still vigilant: Then why have I never seen you in his escort team?

Thales coughed: Uh, serve secretly.

Serving secretly...

Slimani thought of something divergently, and he covered his mouth with frightened eyes: Secretly, you, are you from the Kingdom's Secret Division?

Now it was Xi Lai's turn to frown, but Thales quickly grabbed the conversation.

Yes, we are from the secret department, respected Mr. Slimani, the boy put on a mysterious look, The stars are shining—

Xi Lai glanced at him unhappily, then took the conversation:

The bleak place is dark—don't waste time, get back to the topic!

You... You young people, do this?

What's the matter, the Scarlet Witch has been working in the dark room since she was eight years old.

In front of the unbelievable Slimani, Thales coughed:

Now, tell me, what is the secret behind the deaths of the wine merchant Dagoli and the wool merchant Diop? What does it have to do with the Duke of South Bank? What did you find out? Why did Jann kill you?

I found it, I found it...

The name of the secret department was a bit scary, and Slimani was distracted for a few seconds before replying with difficulty.

I, this little brother Wyatt from the secret department, I'm sorry, I, I can't tell you.

Thales frowned.

Don't tell us? All right, then go tell the Duke, Sheila responded cooperatively. She pulled Thales away and held the defender's hand, You just need to stay here obediently and wait for those people Just find you.

Slimani's expression froze.

Thales nodded and whistled:

Perhaps the Duke will be listening to you on a ship on the high seas?

Slimani's face became even uglier.

Thales and Hille exchanged glances, and walked forward side by side without hesitation, leaving Slimani standing there blankly.

After a few seconds, the defender figured out something and sighed in pain.

Okay, I'll tell you guys!

Slimani reached out to stop them:

But I can only tell His Royal Highness in person, after meeting him!

After Thales heard the words, he couldn't help turning around, clearing his throat, and straightened his collar:

Well, in fact, standing in front of you—

But Slimani counted his fingers and continued:

And keep me safe! Instead of being chased by mercenaries dancing with knives and swords like now!

He stubbornly looked at Thales:

Anyway, I won't tell unless I'm safe!

Thales and Hille looked at each other.

But— Thales was about to speak, but was interrupted.

His Highness Thales has a high position and a lot of work, where does he have so much time to listen to you in person? Xi Lai said softly, but Thales always felt that there was contempt in the corner of her mouth when she said this.

I'm not a fool. Because of his high position and authority, he doesn't care about us pawns... Once I say it, I'm worthless!

Slimani said indignantly:

Believe me, what I know is of great help to your master! If Polaris knows, he can hold the Duke of Jann and the Cavendir family in his hands, and make the Duke bow his head If he wants the Duke to go west, he dare not go east, if he wants to marry Miss Hilley, the Duke will have to offer his sister his hands and give her some dowry himself!

Forehead……

Thales raised his eyebrows, while Hille snorted coldly.

So, when I see the prince, I can guarantee absolute safety and the safety of my family before I can tell you the matter.

Thales sighed.

It seems that there is no good way.

We can only settle down first—maybe, let the polite Morgan go to chat with him?

Now I have to escape from the Emerald City, no, escape from the South Bank Territory, or even escape from the kingdom, and go far away. The more Slimani said, the more worried he became, Oh no, this is my home, my home. My career, my life, my job, it's ruined, ruined, ruined...

Having no time to care about Slimani, who was holding his head in pain, Xi Lai looked at Thales:

Okay, where do we go now?

If you sneak back to Kongming Palace... Thales pondered.

No! Don't go! You can't go to Kongming Palace!

Slimani woke up, trembling: No! Duke, he will... open sea, ship...

Seeing his appearance, the prince and the eldest lady looked at each other.

Xi Lai shook his head: It can't be on the street, there are police officers, there are Emerald Legion...

Thales nodded: There are also the eyes and ears of the Blood Bottle Gang. There are many people with mixed eyes, and they will be discovered.

Yes. A few seconds later, Xi Lai frowned, Come with me.

Ten minutes later, Xi Lai turned around and led the embarrassed Thales and Slimani to avoid the crowd, walked through the streets and alleys, and came to the back of a high wall. There are few people in front of the wall, and the surrounding area is overgrown with grass.

Where is this? Slimani asked silly

Your safe house.

Xi Lai rolled up his sleeves and clapped his hands, pushed aside a pile of weeds, and pointed to a stone slab exposed below: Open it.

Thales looked at the thick stone slab, and Slimani looked at each other.

Why, do you want me to do the hard work? The eldest lady was confident.

Thales and Slimani pursed their lips, and they found a wooden pole, and together they pried the stone slab open.

The stone slab was removed, revealing a dark hole, a foul smell came from inside, Slimani immediately covered his mouth and nose with a disgusted expression.

This is the sewer?

Xi Lai stepped forward, lifted her skirt, and smiled slightly:

Why, has your identity been humiliated, Great Defender?

After the words fell, Xi Lai jumped nimbly and jumped into the bottomless hole.

Only Thales, who was surprised, and Slimani, who was disgusted, were left at a loss on the ground.

What are you doing in a daze?

A girl's voice came from the entrance of the cave: The sewer or the high seas, you choose!

Well, it appears to be safe.

Thales scratched his head.

It's just... how does she know so many things?

Slimani looked at the hole and sighed:

Why are you spies so disgusting?

Yes, Thales just got down on the cat, and was suffocated by the stench at the entrance of the cave. He covered his mouth and nose, looking unhappy, We are so disgusting.

He pointed towards the hole:

In order to prevent you from escaping, you ask first?

Slimani covered his face in pain, and jumped into the hole as if resigned to his fate.

Did it land to the end? Thales shouted towards the entrance of the cave.

arrive!

Slimani's voice came back from the cave:

Ow, my leg! Damn it, it stinks down here - ahhhhh! No no no help!

Hearing that Slimani's voice suddenly turned into a cry of fear, Thales couldn't help being startled.

What's the matter? Slimani?

No, no, no! Help! Don't! Don't! Stay away from me! Slimani became more and more terrified.

Down to the bottom—

Thales looked around subconsciously, only then remembered that Xi Lai was the first to go down.

Damn it!

Hilley found this place, what's down there and what's going on?

The entrance of the cave is extremely dark, and even the senses of hell can only hear a little sound of water.

A few seconds later, Slimani's voice disappeared, and no matter how Thales shouted, he did not reply.

Thales gritted his teeth fiercely.

no solution anymore.

The young man shook his heart, took a deep breath, held his breath, and jumped into the dark cave!

Clap!

Water splashes.

Damn.

Thales cursed in his heart, covered his mouth and nose, and shook off the foul-smelling sewage.

Not surprisingly, he stepped into knee-deep sewage,

But unexpectedly, the sewer was not so dark that you couldn't see your fingers. In fact, the walls on both sides of the waterway were covered with indescribable fungi, some of which shimmered with a faint blue light, slightly illuminating out of sight.

Thales held JC tightly and stood up cautiously.

What about Shirley?

What about Slimani?

Crash.

The sound of footsteps stepping into the water came to my ears, and after walking about ten steps, Thales finally saw Slimani's figure in the dim light: he knelt on the ground with his head in his arms, his forehead against the wall , shivering.

Slimani?

Ignoring the rotten smell all over his body, Thales raised his feet with difficulty and moved forward amidst the sound of splashing water.

What's the matter? Where's Xi-Wyana?

At this moment, Thales' scalp tightened and he stopped!

In the darkness, the senses of hell give back unusual information:

breathe.

Yes, breathe.

At this moment, before and after the sewer, there are one, two, three, four, five, six...

There are more than a dozen different breathing sounds.

Front, back, left, and right, all around him.

And the last breath...

Woo~ woo~ woo~

In the darkness, Thales swallowed his throat, his whole body tensed up to the extreme.

Woo~ woo~ woo~

In the darkness and tension, Thales sighed and turned around reluctantly:

A pitch-black monster, at this very moment, was quietly stopping a foot behind him.

Thales had a headache:

What are you doing?

again?

Soon, the sense of hell dispelled the darkness in front of his eyes, allowing him to see the monster clearly:

It has a distorted face, a bloody mouth, protruding teeth, a crooked nose, and eyes that are so small that they are almost two black spots. It looks ugly and uncomfortable.

woo woo woo woo……

At this moment, it made a horrible breathing sound, and two disproportionately huge arms stretched out from the water on both sides, and slowly approached Thales.

Thales frowned, but this time, having experienced many battles, he had expected it, and the fear in his heart weakened a lot.

All right.

This ugly face is, well, not as scary as the faceless cork with no eyes and no nose.

Hey—stop playing! Didn't you say you won't scare me anymore...

Thales sighed, stretched out his hand to grab the hair of Xi Lai's new leather case, and pulled it down forcefully.

But in the next second, the ugly monster in front of him let out a terrifying roar!

Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Thales was shocked at the moment, and at the same time felt a little nervous.

This is also...too realistic, isn't it?

But before he could think of anything, the ugly monster in front of him swung its giant arm and slammed Thales hard!

At that moment, Thales felt like he hit a wall.

boom! Crash!

After the collision and the sound of water, Thales, who flew out, got up in the sewage with staring eyes.

what happened?

woo woo woo woo!

The monster roared, and its distorted face became even uglier.

Thales gasped in pain.

Such a monster is actually so powerful?

But isn't that Shirley...

In the next second, Thales' thoughts were interrupted.

Hisss—

Shua, Shua, Shua—

Roar--

With the roar of the monster, echoes echoed one after another in the sewer | roaring, tearing, crawling, pumping, sucking...

One is spookier than the other.

And they have only one thing in common:

It is not a sound that humans can make.

What are you doing?

Thales' face was pale, and he subconsciously raised his dagger and stepped back until his back touched the wall.

What exactly is this place?

The sewage under his feet rippled and surged back and forth.

Swish!

The water splashed and sprayed Thales' head and face.

But that's not the worst.

A monster covered in spikes and carapaces, dragging an arthropod tail and several limbs climbed up from the water, revealing a face full of tumors.

Ahh, human flesh! Human flesh! Human flesh!

The half-human, half-worm monster twitched its jointed limbs at him, and made a sharp male voice:

Water ghouls are eating human flesh!

Hold!

Thales was shocked. He ignored the sewage on the ground and rolled away from the monster.

no no no...

What the hell is this...

Wyana!

With panic and fear, Thales quickly got up and yelled around:

Where are you!

But the sin of Hell River sent back what it had seen and heard, which made Thales even more terrified:

Under the gloomy light, the sides of the sewer were dimly lit, and all kinds of inhuman monsters appeared one after another:

Some monsters emerge from the sewage, and the breathing holes on their backs discharge the sewage, opening and closing;

Some monsters stretch out their tentacles from the corners, looming;

Some monsters fell from the ceiling above their heads, rolling forward;

Some have insect heads, staring at Thales, some stick out two human heads, twisted all over, some have thin and long hands and feet, almost like stick insects;

There are also monsters with seven or eight hands that don't move around their bodies...

They moved slowly but firmly towards Thales.

No, no, help! Slimani cried from the other end of the sewer.

But Thales had no time to worry about him. He looked at this extraordinary sewer in disbelief, and tried his best not to tremble: Here, what is this place?

Where?

The tense Thales turned his head in an instant!

I saw the half-human, half-worm monster with a sharp male voice rolling its tail, slowly coming behind him, and making a shrill laugh in the darkness:

Welcome, human! Welcome to add food to us!

Extra meal?

Following the monster's words, louder and more chaotic roars came from the sewer.

In the distance, the ugly-faced monster that just knocked Thales into the air waded out of the water.

Thales was stunned.

No.

The monster slowly raised a pair of giant arms, revealing the person lying on it:

It's Hilley.

At this moment, Cecilia Cavendir was lying weakly on the giant arm of the monster.

unconscious.

covered in blood.

At the mercy of others.

No! Thales exclaimed.

The setting sun detests us, Kevin Dill betrays us, Emerald City despises us! Only hell and demons, only witchcraft and curses, only fear and hatred accept us!

Accompanied by the roars of the same kind, the half-human, half-worm monster's laughter was extremely creepy, echoing in the sewer:

So, for thousands of years, we, who have been cursed, feed on human beings!

Its open limbs move back and forth, like a mouth before eating:

Humans, welcome to the Ghoul Tunnel!
