Chapter 481: Narrow passage
"That's right? We still have to go down normally..." Nao looked down and pointed at the two broken steps: "That place looks very solid. Let's rappel there first?"
"Well... it would be nice if there was a ladder." Erina agreed to the rabbit-eared girl's suggestion: "You have to hold me when you go down? I can't climb the rope..."
"It's a little difficult to climb up, but it's easy to go down, right? Erina-chan, just hold on to the rope and don't let go, and just slide down naturally!"
"That's easy to say! It's not that simple!" Erina yelled, "Hug me! Otherwise I will definitely fall to death!"
Nao: "There's really nothing we can do~"
Thus, the great battle to march to St. Fry's Cemetery began.
Although Erina was a little nervous, she seemed very excited because it reminded her of those tomb robbing games she had played.
Tomb Raider, Uncharted, Assassin's Creed, The Elder Scrolls...
She felt that she had the same experience as them today!
However, the protagonists of these games often have a passive skill, which is to collapse wherever they go.
Erina's heart suddenly sank when she thought of this, hoping she wouldn't also have such a meaningless ability!
After all, she is not the protagonist of the game.
There is no need to rely on thrilling action scenes to increase sales.
However, this kind of thing still happened to her.
It’s like it’s some kind of tomb-robber’s curse!
As soon as the two people followed the rope and landed on the two steps, the lower bricks made a crisp sound, shook and collapsed.
Nao quickly carried Erina on her shoulders and jumped to another step below two meters away. This avoided the side plot of the steps falling into pieces together.
"Hey! We almost fell to death!" Erina finally regained her breath and complained to Nao: "Is this what you call 'very strong'?"
"I didn't expect it to be so weak~ It seems to be fine." Nao listened to the sound of the bricks falling into the sky and took a breath: "Okay, from the current position, it can just hang down."
Lowered to a platform... However, there is no place to tie ropes here. We didn't bring iron nails either..."
"It doesn't matter, this is a small problem." Erina cast a spell to create a big nail and handed it to Nao: "Come on!"
This type of nail used to fix ropes has a relatively large nail cap area at the top.
This will minimize the possibility of the rope accidentally falling off after being tied to the nail body.
Generally speaking, a hammer is needed to drive nails firmly into the ground.
With Nao's kicking power, as long as you kick it twice, the nails will be firmly embedded in the ground.
After trying to pull it and making sure it was firm enough, Nao picked up Erina and rappelled down again.
Although the location of this platform can also receive sunlight, it is already quite thin because it is deep.
It's hard to see clearly in this environment.
So, the torch lit with magic came in handy.
Nao held her up and walked in front, heading towards the door with Erina.
The entrance, flanked by angel sculptures, was half buried by the debris of fallen bricks.
But I can still barely pass sideways.
"Hey, Nao, walk faster." Erina noticed that she was moving like a snail, so she urged: "I feel like there is a spider crawling on top... If I don't walk faster, it will fall on me!"
"
"I'm already working as fast as possible." Nao leaned forward with the torch and burned away the fine spider webs: "If we don't burn them, we won't be able to get through."
Erina: "Oh..."
After a while.
Erina: "Hey. Are there no spider webs ahead? Why are you walking so slowly?"
Nao: "I'm working as fast as I can - ugh!"
Erina: "What's wrong?! A spider crawled into your clothes?!"
Nao: "No. It's just that my chest was rubbed a little bit...it hurts a bit."
Erina: "Hahaha, how stupid! When I saw that the front of my chest was relatively narrow, I held my breath and pressed my body back. That way I wouldn't be able to rub it!"
Nao: "Yeah, I really didn't pay attention. Erina is great!"
Erina: "Of course! I'm awesome! Call me the master of tomb robbers!"
Erina: "Although they were all stolen from the game!"
Originally, Erina was a little complacent.
But soon she fell silent and became frustrated.
Because, where Nao just rubbed her chest, she didn't hold her breath or lean back at all, and just passed over it.
Didn't rub at all.
hateful!
Erina shouted angrily in her heart.
Why is Nao so big!
I look so small compared to her!
We have to find Xiaodera and Xiaoji as soon as possible. In comparison, I look really big!
Erina felt that moving in the gap was very painful.
Because the pressure in the narrow gap is very strong. There are always some bugs crawling around, making people worry about whether they will crawl on themselves.
Of course, this is only one aspect.
On the other hand, breathing is not smooth.
To walk in such a narrow space, you often have to hold your breath and compress the volume of your chest.
This is quite painful.
In fact, the moment after passing through that too narrow area is more uncomfortable than the process of passing through it.
because……
The stench in this area is much stronger than that smelled at the entrance to the Cave of the Abyss.
It's still not the kind of stench that makes people unable to breathe and makes them sick to the point of spitting it out.
But it's really disgusting.
Erina couldn't even imagine whether she would have this smell on her body after coming out of the cave.
If so, how long will it take to eliminate it?
"Oops? This is..."
After passing through the crack, Nao looked at the surrounding environment, and his eyes quickly stopped at a large jar.
It is placed on a stone platform.
On the wall behind the stone platform, there is a Tianyi Sect mural. On it is an archangel with outstretched hands, welcoming the undead to ascend to heaven.
"Do you want to ask what this jar is for?" Erina turned to look at the bunny-eared girl and explained: "If I guessed correctly, it was originally filled with holy water. There will be one like this at every entrance.
Jars for pilgrims and those visiting the dead..."
"Ah! I understand." Nao nodded: "It's just like washing up in the water house before visiting a shrine, right? The jars here have a similar effect?"
"Well, it's not the same." Erina recalled for a while, her tone paused slightly, and she replied: "There is a lot of water in the Teisuisha. But this jar can't hold that much. You can tell from this alone
There is a difference. The holy water in this jar is for smearing on your eyelids."
