第64章 又遇强兽人
The grayish-white shadow froze for a moment, retracting its sharp claws that were reaching towards Sissy, and stared blankly at the position where the half-elf ranger was. "You... you can see me?" A faint wheezing sound, reminiscent of pulling a bellows, could be heard as the voice came through. "You... can see?"
Xisi stood up slowly from the shadows and faced the gray-white shadow. "What are you?"
"I, I am not sure either..." The gray-white shadow stepped back and slowly began to transform, returning to its original form as a cluster of clouds. "I... do not know what I am... at the moment."
At this moment, the half-elf ranger and the others have all woken up, and they notice that Cisse seems to be talking to the air. If it weren't for the fact that they can faintly hear another voice, they might have thought that Cisse was having a nightmare or was stuck in the environment, because the other three couldn't see anything strange inside the cave.
The story began with Saisai's victory over Nielsen. Saisai not only learned how to "avenge," but the inner "Eye of God" had also been fully awakened. At this moment, Saisai discovered a temporary ability she possessed - the true vision. "True vision allows a person to observe the world from a different perspective, and at the end of this path, perhaps one may see something else." These words appeared beneath the emblem of the Eye of God.
“其它的东西？那是什么？”西塞也在心里思索过这个问题，可惜没有得到答案。
真实视野其实不能算是一种魔法，而是一种天赋。它能随着所有者的心意控制看出事物的本性，即使是隐形和灵体也逃不出这种监视。但是这项能力就西塞目前能力看来，能够看穿的总物质数量是有限制的，只是不知道是否与其他两个徽记有关系。
The general shape of the second emblem is humanoid, but the eye area does resemble flames. "It seems that the second emblem is the Fire Eye, so the last one must be the Truth Badge," says Caesar as he gazes at the second emblem in his spiritual world.
After entering the mine, Cissy felt that something was wrong. So, during the rest, he activated "True Sight" and saw a gray-white shadow. Cissy frowned. He had closed his eyes just now but had been using the ability of Insight to observe. That's why he could notice this strange object slowly emerging from underground. Although this cloud mist was standing right in front of him very clearly, without using Insight, there would be absolutely no trace of it visible.
Xisai began to recall various classics he had read and remembered several creatures that resembled clouds or hid in the mist, such as the little mist demon or the phantom. However, he had never seen a gray-white cloud like this before.
"What are you doing here? Why did you attack the dwarf miners and guards here?"
"I... I didn't. I... I didn't attack anyone. It was someone else... who did it."
Xisi frowned and stared at the gas-like object in front of him, which had already shrunk into a clump. Based on current circumstances, this invisible individual in front of him is most likely the murderer.
"Be careful..." a scream suddenly came from the mist, and then he quickly sank into the ground.
Sise didn't understand what was happening, but instinctively looked down at the sinking smoke. Sise immediately dropped to the ground, took out his shield and assumed a defensive stance, while the half-elf archer and others had already drawn their weapons and were on guard in the depths of the mine... The dwarf warrior held his double-handed axe and scanned the surroundings with a glance: "Sise, what happened just now? Where are the enemies?" Just as he asked this, another arrow flew towards the dwarf warrior. Gago noticed this attack and twisted his waist, preparing to block the incoming arrows with his axe.
And then everyone heard a "crack" sound, that was the sound of the bowstring being released. This sound even penetrated into their internal organs, making everyone feel a nauseating sensation as if they wanted to vomit blood.
After this arrow is shot, you can see that the wooden shaft on the arrow is wrapped in a layer of gray-black flame, which then turns into fine powder in the air. Therefore, a faint black trajectory appears along the path of the long arrow. However, the triangular arrowhead, flashing with eerie blue fluorescence, has already shot within three meters in front of the dwarf warrior in the blink of an eye! It doesn't give him any time to react, dodge, or defend!!!
But at this moment, a figure came crashing from the side with a whistling gale. It was Xisi, holding up his "Shield of Sword's Back" with great height. His figure truly resembled a rocky reef standing firm in the midst of a fierce storm, shielding the dwarf behind him.
With "True Sight" activated, Xisai saw a massive longbow aimed at them from about forty meters deep inside the cave. The bow's back was made of pitch-black metal, and the string appeared to be a thick sinew freshly stripped from some kind of giant beast, almost as thick as a human finger.
At this moment, the bow is already at full draw, the arrow is positioned on the bowstring, and the string is tightly stretched. The hand gripping this massive bow displays protruding tendons and thick, pale skin, even covered with a layer of fuzzy hair. The arrow on the longbow is also aimed at the head of Xerxes!
Cicero immediately raised the shield in his hand, and the triangular arrowhead "pfff" was nailed onto the back of his sword. Although he successfully blocked the arrow, the tremendous impact caused pain in Cicero's left hand, which had not fully recovered yet. Please provide your feedback on the translated content.
After the sudden attack, the others also responded immediately, while Sisi cautiously stepped forward, holding up her shield and keeping watch over the dark depths of the cave. At this moment, Sisi could clearly see the assailant who was a tall and burly humanoid creature. He had a robust physique with well-defined muscles, rough skin, and a pale brownish complexion. His nostrils were flared like those of a pig, and his sparse grayish hair hung loosely over his shoulders. Though not speaking, his facial muscles showed a ferocious grimace, while his two murky small eyes were filled with a malicious glare.
This is another powerful orc!
As Xisi blocked the arrows, Gilxiz's arrows also flew towards the depths of the passage. Then, Gilxiz saw his wrist shake, and two arrows were already on the bowstring. "Whoosh" After that, the two arrows almost simultaneously shot towards the location of the powerful orc. The first arrow shot out without any sound, but the following two arrows made a crisp sound. Gilxiz knew that actually the first arrow hit the target, and the other two arrows just hit the wall. Please note that the translation may not be completely accurate, as the content includes fictional elements.
In Xisi's real field of vision, the shoulder of this strong orc is embedded with the arrow shot by the half-elf ranger for the first time, sliding down rapidly into the passage until it disappears from sight. Xisi can no longer see that deep.
Xisi planned to continue chasing ahead, and Gage and others followed suit... After walking a short distance, Xisi and the others discovered a concealed passage next to a overturned mine cart on the side of the road. They lifted the hidden object on top and were about to go down.
"No, don't go down..." At this moment, that mass of gray-white misty shadow slowly floated out from the side.
Xisi immediately stopped everyone from jumping into the hole and then looked at the condensed gray mist. Gao, Gilhis, and Nino widened their eyes, scanning the surroundings in an attempt to find the person who had just spoken.
“Why are they blocking us?” Xisi asked with confusion as she faced the haze.
“They, there are mechanisms down below. The first one who went down was fine, but the ones who went down after all turned into this…” In Xisi's real field of vision, the hazy mist slowly deformed, splitting into two parts, then trembled and swiftly reassembled.
“变成了什么？变成了什么？”加戈急切地问道。
西塞摆摆手，示意他暂时不要说话。“你知道怎么追下去吗？这里还有其他的路吗？”
After a brief silence, the mist finally returned with a faint voice saying, "I... I have a solution."
Following that cluster of mist, Wester and the others walked towards the depths of the mine. Along the way, Jager looked around, hoping to find where the voice that had been speaking was coming from, but all they could see ahead was an empty corridor.
"Just, it's right here..." The mist-like creature stopped and extended a small gas, transforming into a hand shape, pointing to a nearby stone wall.
Xisi looked in the direction it pointed, and saw a thick stone wall displayed here. Only when he focused his real vision could he barely see a passage behind the stone. Looking at the surroundings, it had to be said that unless one was extremely knowledgeable about hidden doors and trap mechanisms, and possessed exceptional lockpicking skills as a rogue, it would be difficult for an ordinary person to discover it.
Xisi pointed to the location of the dark door and said to Gago and the others, "It's right here."
Xisi stepped forward and pushed the wall with force. There was a creaking sound, but the secret door remained unmoved. Nino walked to the front of the door and gently touched the stone wall next to it. He took out a dagger and lightly traced the outline of the door on the wall. He stood in front of the door, bowed his head, and pondered for a moment. Then, he quickly ran to the opposite wall, searching and feeling around again.
Accompanied by a dull sound of "boom boom boom", the heavy door in front of me slid back into the cave - it turned out to be a rolling stone. Nino stood on the other side of the passage, holding a lever hidden behind the wall in his hand.
"Okay, many of these doors have opening mechanisms, usually somewhere on the opposite side of the door," Nino said cheerfully, brushing off the dust from his hands. The four of them walked through this secret door.
