Soul Echo

Zhong Ye and Lilian followed the stalker far away. In order to avoid being discovered by the stalker, Zhong Ye's eyes did not fall on the back of the man.

Even if the stalker is now more than 200 meters away from them, Zhong Ye can still follow him closely through hearing, smell and the footprints left by the person, who has not been able to escape. his perception.

The stalker is quite alert, and even if he has run so far, he has not let down his guard.

Many of the footprints left on the way led to the traps, but Zhong Ye could distinguish those traps before they got close, and the traps couldn't hurt them at all.

Arranging traps in this wilderness, naturally impossible is a very sophisticated trap, as long as you don't get close, it won't trigger.

After walking around for more than half an hour, the stalker seemed to have stopped.

Most of the time is guiding 'possible trackers'. If it is a straight-line distance, the current position of the trackers is only ten minutes away from the position of Zhong Ye and their carry. feet, and this is still in the forest.

So close?

Feeling that the distance between himself and the stalker was getting closer, Zhong Ye kept calm and continued to move forward with Lilian.

Soon, they came to a mountain.

Around this, Zhong Ye didn't find any signs of who-type activities, but the last 'trace' left by the stalker was indeed here.

"Is it in the mountains?" Lillian asked in a low voice.

Zhong Ye thought so too, nodding in agreement with Lillian's opinion.

The corners of the girl's mouth were slightly raised, her chin was slightly raised, and she hummed a few brisk syllables from her nose.

But the question is, where did the stalker enter the 'mountain'?

If there is only one passage, will they be discovered by those people when they enter it?

If the other party has one channel, who knows if there is a second channel?

If they broke in directly, they might beat the grass to scare the snake and let the other party run away.

Zhong Ye thought and told Lillian what he thought. Of course, he did not expect his student to come up with any good ideas, but wanted to cultivate her thinking ability.

——She is still too immature now and needs to grow up.

Listening to Zhong Ye's words, Lilian also fell into thinking, but after a while, she began to whisper and communicate with the barrage.

Now they have reached a deadlock that is difficult to resolve by ordinary means.

"...If only there was a spell."

After communicating with the audience, Lilian expressed such emotion.

With a spell, they can be invisible, walk through walls, or command animals to help see what's inside.

Unfortunately, the three of them are all melee classes, and the little 'psionic spell' that Zhong Ye knows doesn't help the current situation.

It took them a day to get here from Bourges, and if they ran back, it would take almost half a day, and it would take almost two days to come and go. If those cultists wanted to do What is it, two days are enough for them to do it.

They left Bourges without means of communication with the churches of Bourges. It was a mistake!

Zhong Ye brows slightly wrinkle, didn't expect there was such a big flaw in his plan, and he hadn't discovered it a few days ago.

...don't care, just break in!

Listening to Zhong Ye's action plan, Lilian opened her mouth slightly.

However, this may be the only way out of the game.

You can't pin your hopes on the enemy, and it's still an enemy hidden in the dark.

After confirming that the equipment on his body was complete, Zhong Ye took Lillian up the mountain and chased the last trail left by the stalker.

As expected, Zhong Ye and the others found a cave on the side of the mountain.

The cave looks quite hidden from the outside, and the entrance of the cave is covered by snow. If it wasn't for Zhong Ye's amazing perception, he really wouldn't be able to find it.

The thin snow covering the entrance of the cave was broken, and a deep cave appeared in front of Zhong Ye and Lilian.

A row of footprints extended from the entrance of the cave to the depths of the cave, disappearing into the darkness in the distance.

Zhong Ye noticed that the cave floor was actually 'sloping' and had a certain angle.

This further proved their previous conjecture—that group of cultists were indeed hidden in the mountain.

However, in this way, another doubt follows.

If the cultists were hiding in the mountains, how did the cultists find them when they raised the smoke?

Standing at the entrance of the cave, Zhong Ye took a deep breath, didn't feel any strange smell in the cave, and didn't feel dull.

There is air in the mountain, either with vents or another channel.

Lilian grabbed the corner of Zhong Ye's clothes, followed in his footsteps, and stepped into the darkness.

The depths of the cave were dark and there was no light at all. Lilian couldn't see anything in such an environment, but she trusted Zhong Ye very much and believed that Zhong Ye would protect her.

"Put your feet up."

"Take a step to the left."

"Bow your head."

Lilian didn't know where the cave was Whatever, in short, Zhong Ye said what she did, because it was impossible for Zhong Ye to hurt her.

"...stop."

Suddenly, I heard this sentence.

Lilian then stopped, she didn't know what Zhong Ye found, maybe she had seen the cultist's hiding place?

"Have you heard?"

Lilian blinked when she heard Zhong Ye's question.

Perhaps because her eyes were temporarily unable to see, her hearing became slightly more sensitive.

Lilian calmed down and listened carefully to the voice.

It didn't take long before she gently took a deep breath.

"Is it... the wind?" Lillian wasn't sure if the sound she heard was true or false.

"Just now we've been going down."

Zhong Ye stared at the darkness ahead and whispered, "I suspect, we've gone 'underground' now."

Lilian's eyes widened in disbelief, looking in the direction of Zhong Ye's voice.

She heard Zhong Ye mention that before Zhong Ye met her, she had discovered an Underground World in a certain area.

The 'chapter trailer' officially released by Soul Echo later proved Zhong Ye's statement that there is indeed an Underground World, not only living with many bizarre underground creatures, but also a goblin kingdom .

But isn't that Underground World in Etrul?

If the underground of the Gaul kingdom also has an underground cavity like the underground of Etrull, wouldn't the surface of the western land be very fragile?

There is no exit in front, and Zhong Ye doesn't feel the existence of ventilation openings or ventilation channels. He can only feel the wind coming from the front.

Is there also an 'Underground World' ahead? Are those cultists hiding in it?

Zhong Ye didn't know, so he decided to move on.

After talking to Lilian, Zhong Ye walked forward.

At that distance, Lillian could hear the wind, and Zhong Ye could hear it clearly.

Not only could he hear clearly, but he could also feel the surging of the air.

Not long after walking, Zhong Ye stopped again.

"Someone."

In the surging air, he smelled a few peculiar smells, and also heard some strange sounds.

If nothing else, it should be the sound of breathing—breathing that goes with the sound of the wind.

Lilian kept her mouth sensible. She couldn't make an 'inaudible' voice like Zhong Ye did, so she didn't speak at all, so as not to beat the grass to scare the snake.

What should they do now?

Zhong Ye closed his eyes and thought silently.

After a little thought, he grabbed Lillian's wrist and led her forward.

After a while, Zhong Ye let go of Lillian's wrist again, but Lillian already knew what Zhong Ye wanted to do at this time.

--they broke right in!

Those cultists were hiding underground, but they were able to notice what was happening on Kingdom Avenue and knew that someone was passing by.

In this case, were the two of them discovered by those cultists when they entered the cave?

The cultists will be dealt with directly without doing anything else—even if they accidentally let them go, as long as they can leave a few survivors, they will be worthwhile!
