Chapter 369 Containment Failure
The black fog blocked the view, and the hall was silent.
Ali and Elise both held their breath and looked at the darkness ahead, as if they were waiting for each other to make a choice.
But no matter what, Elise didn't want to return empty-handed, even though her spider senses sounded wildly.
"Don't you, my little cutie..."
Elise's voice was sticky, with the cabinet's slow elegance, and the long syllables were like the zerg's hissing.
She always kept a distance from the black fog in front of her, opened her eyes and extended all her senses. The smell and sound were given a difference in color, and through the fluff on the spider's legs, even the slightest movements can be captured by the tremor of the air.
Found it!
After thousands of spiders searched without leaving any effort, Elise quickly found a key at the door of a storage room. The shape and size were exactly the same as those described in the picture book. If nothing unexpected happens, it would probably be the key to the heart.
The nearby spiders surrounded the key of the heart, spit out spiders' silk to wrap it up, and take it to Elise's place.
Some spiders can even crawl faster than adults running at full speed. The key rubs against the cold ground, and the sounds made by disturbing the sleeping ancient existence. Darkness rises with a surging tsunami, and the whole world is abandoned under this dark stagnant water.
Suddenly, a little candlelight lit up in the darkness.
It swayed, and even though the black fog surrounds it, it did not drive it to flood it at all.
Iris, who didn't know what this vision was, chose to get the key first, and the spiders successfully dragged the key to her feet. She peeled the key away from the tangled gaze, and after confirming that it was correct, she was ready to leave.
Her scarlet eyes stared at the candlelight in the black fog and said to Ah Li: "Get the things, let's go!"
The East Hall is now in a state of inactivity, and it will be very risky to go in and search for treasures. They have now obtained the Key of Heart and are allowed to request treasures from other halls. There is no need to stay here to fight to the death.
"I'm afraid it won't be too easy to leave."
As soon as Ah Li finished speaking, several ghosts appeared silently from the empty space, blocking their retreat on the stairs.
They were wearing illusory robes and holding up huge sharp sickles. Their bodies were blurred like a cloud of fog at first, and then became more solid.
"Their uniforms...these people seem to be the watchmen of the treasure house. They should have died for a long time. Now they are here again. Have they been transformed into an undead by the destruction curse?"
Ah Li noticed that there was a person in the Watchmen's team carrying a lamp. She subconsciously thought of Thresh and thought that these undead were caused by Thresh. But as the undead's figure became more and more solid, she found that her thoughts might be wrong.
If Thresh's body is a pile of destroyed bones, then the other party's body looks at least complete, and the details of his face are also present, just like a puppet controlled by a thread.
Moreover, she felt that these watchmen were not undead. They did not have the odor of undead, and there was no sound when they ran. Ahri closed her eyes and couldn't even feel their existence, as if she was just a phantom.
The Watchmen rushed over with a scythe, no one dared to try if they were really just a phantom.
Wave towards the two of them.
"Ji!" As the sickle got closer, Poluo screamed, and wanted to escape from his arms in horror.
Elise reacted quickly, and her sharp and slender legs pushed her body off the ground, and led her to the back of the steps, avoided the Watchmen's team, and disappeared from Ahri's sight.
Listening to the sound of crawling with sharp claws quickly away, Ahri bared her sharp teeth - Elise actually sold her directly, fled alone and left her here to deal with the ghost alone!
Without time to think so much, she directly summoned the Spirit Magic Ball and controlled the ball with her right hand and pushed it suddenly.
The magic ball passed through the body, and a watchman dispersed into countless illusion dust, but Ah Li was not very happy. This proved that the Watchmen team was not just phantoms. They occupied the steps away from the East Hall, and battle was inevitable.
The glowing sickle swung towards Ah Li, and she jumped back quickly, recalling the magic ball to eliminate the watcher in front of her. Another sickle came to her. As the tip of the knife reached the top of her head, she seized the opportunity to raid forward, trying to jump from among the few people with her agile body movement.
The sickle slashed the steps, making no noise strangely, but the steps were cut into a gap. The steps were built by hard white rock, and the dust cover of thousands of years did not wear them out, but now they are easily split.
If this is cut to the body, it will definitely leave a flat cut.
Ah Li moved around and moved, and every time she landed, she would definitely move on tiptoe, passing through the gap between the watchmen like lightning, and the heavy sickles could not touch the tip of her tail. But just as she was about to succeed, the watchman at the end of the team gently lifted the lantern.
Without any warning, a substantial light curtain suddenly appeared, and Ah Li ran into it unexpectedly, bounced back and landed in the middle of the Watchmen team.
Her backwards knocked down a guard. When she lies on the other side, she opened her eyes and saw several sickles lifting up like a guillotine, and she was about to kill her and the unlucky guardian beneath her.
July in his arms was stunned and he would not scream. At this moment, Elise, who had thought he had escaped, suddenly crawled out of the bottom of the steps and appeared behind Captain Watcher like a ghost. He raised the insect foot and penetrated his chest deeply with his sharp tip claws.
The light curtain dissipated with Captain Watcher. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ali quickly got up and avoided before the sickle fell.
Several sickles were chiseled to destroy the steps at the same time, but there was no sound of metal and stone attacks. Only the sound of the stone rolling down the steps was heard.
Then Ali summoned a ball of fox fire and burned the Watchmen team piled together. The flames reflected in the amber pupils. Ali gasped slightly, and the surroundings became quiet again, but the candlelight in the dark was still lit.
"I thought you ran away."
Ahri turned her head and narrowed her eyes to Elise, and re-examined her temporary companion.
Although the other party helped her in the end, the silent action gave people a bad impression. She was 100% sure that if a more dangerous situation occurred, such a person would probably escape alone without looking back.
"I prefer the feeling of controlling the overall situation." Elise said.
As soon as he finished speaking, another phantom emerged from the air. The silhouette of the iceberg made Ali feel familiar.

I came to Japan yesterday to send a leave note, but the leave note was left in the draft box and forgot to send it out. Oh...
Chapter completed!
