Marina still wanted to try to persuade Hatchet to go deeper, but Hatchet's next words shut her up.
"Miss Marina, the road ahead will be even more difficult, it won't be as easy as it is now!"
Hatchet had a very serious expression on his face, it was an expression Marina had never seen before, "If we keep going, someone will die — if it's not you or me, it will be them."
When he said this, he looked at Ike and Chris, and finally looked at Lulunaka.
Lulunaka was not dragged into the battle, but she seemed to be quite frightened, she was already trembling.
Seeing so many skeletons crawling out of the water, and then rushing towards her, this was not an experience that everyone had, and her reaction now was just that of a normal person, no one would blame her for it.
The only question was, why did she appear here?
Looking at Lulunaka, Marina's determination to keep going was greatly weakened.
She touched the magic book in her hand, the leather cover had indentations, when her fingertips touched it, a chill passed from her fingertips to her body.
The direction the magic book was pointing to was getting closer and closer, and the reaction was getting stronger.
This was a call, a mark that only she, the owner of the magic book, could feel.
This call brought her to the King's Castle, to the rat tunnel, to the sewers … until she came to this world that was far away from the surface.
Although the call was so strong, Marina would not lose her mind, especially when impulsiveness would only bring death.
She did not expect to reach her destination in an instant, to see where the magic book was taking her … Or rather, to see where the teacher who left this magic book for her, who was no longer in the human world, wanted her to go.
Since her goal could not be reached in an instant, she should not be so impulsive and rush to go deeper underground.
Perhaps she should find some experienced warriors like Hatchet and Chris … Ike could be counted as one, although he was still young, he did have the ability to fight.
In a short time, Marina thought about many things. For a mage, keeping a clear mind was always the priority, otherwise a mage would be no different from a normal person.
For the time being, there were no more skeletons climbing up from the reservoir, but there were already skeletons patrolling the surrounding passageways, trying to find any presence that had the scent of a living person.
The team stayed where they were, the exit was not far from them, and the skeletons had not discovered them yet. Hatchet and Chris were very patient, waiting for Marina to make a decision. As for Ike, he would only listen to Marina, and would not have any opinions.
Chris's eyes were fixed on the reservoir, "the water level is still rising," he said to the others, and then took a few steps closer to the entrance.
Marina sighed, "Let's go." maybe next time, she would have a chance, but not now. "
"Then let's go quickly. Once the water of the reservoir submerges the tunnel below, more things will climb up. That won't be easy to deal with." Short Axe turned around and walked toward the entrance.
She pointed.... "she pointed." she pointed pointed pointed. she pointed...... she pointed to, to find the thing to... there.
. "Lulunaka pointed at a corner soaked in water, there was a fluorescent light, emitting a faint green light.
It was a piece of shining moss, which was what Lulunaka "needed".
"Lulunaka!"
Marina wanted to stop Lulunaka, but Lulunaka had already run past the bone fragments, the still moving hand and leg bones, and the constantly opening and closing mouth of the skeletons.
She jogged to the place where the faint fluorescent light was emitting, and splashed water under her feet.
She almost slipped in the shallow water, but she staggered forward, and at least she did not fall to the ground.
She squatted near the green moss, took out a knife, and slashed it a few times. A large piece of moss was peeled off from the wall and the corner.
She did not care how dirty it was. She held it in her hand, rolled it into a small roll, and hurriedly ran to Marina.
Now was not the time for her to do this kind of work slowly. She ran into the soaked passage. The sound of water under her feet had attracted the attention of the surrounding skeletons, and they all approached.
When running up the slope, Lulunaka still fell to the ground, but she held the rolled up moss in her hand tightly in her arms. It could be seen how important it was to her.
It was indeed a very valuable thing, and Marina knew that it was an essential material for her to save her uncle.
Marina walked over and pulled Lulunaka up, "You are too reckless."
Lulunaka raised her head, with an anxious look on her face, "If this little risk can save my uncle … and you are leaving, next time I will not be so lucky to have a kind person like you to bring me down."
Looking at Lulunaka's little face, which was stained by the water on the ground, Marina could not say anything harsh.
This was indeed Lulunaka's last chance, and her eyes and luck were good. She actually found a piece of luminous moss, and it was when they were about to leave.
Marina saw Lulunaka's face showed a smile, and then the smile turned into an expression of horror and fear.
"Be careful!"
As soon as she stood up, she pushed Marina away. Her strength surprised Marina. This petite body actually had so much strength that it could push an adult woman to the ground.
When Marina fell down, a long shadow swept over the place where she was standing.
No one was aware of the appearance of the shadow. It came from the top of everyone's head, quietly, and even Chris did not have any reaction. It was not until it rolled up Lulunaka that he realized it.
Lulunaka, who had pushed Marina away, was rolled up by the shadow. She did not even have the time to cry out and was lifted off the ground.
Marina, who was pushed to the ground, looked up and saw a scene that made people hold their breath.
It was a long tail bone, almost as long as two ordinary people's height. It was too easy for it to roll up a petite girl.
On the pale tail bone, there was a human upper body, but it was a skeleton, and the head bone was obviously very different from that of a human.
The bones on its face protruded forward, looking like a sheep's head, but there were no horns on the head, and there were no teeth in the mouth.
In those pitch-black eye sockets, there were two jade-green gems, shining like eyeballs, staring down at the people below like prey.
