Chapter 280: Porcupine Valley (3)

The porcupine pig valley is full of strange rocks, there is very little vegetation, porcupines are clumsy, trampled and relied on, few plants can withstand their tossing, and the white bones on the ground confirm that those porcupines are not vegetarians. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Strange, why don't there be a single porcupine in the valley?" Selina was a little puzzled.

"It's been going on for a long time. ”

Hearing this, Mei Ke turned around and said: "Since those porcupines became irritable, even the little piglets did not want to stay in the nest every day, and did not come back until the evening, and during this time the porcupine valley is the safest. But we have to get out of here before the sun goes up, or we'll be stuck in the valley by tens of thousands of wild boars, and the result will definitely not be what you think.

"Smell it carefully. Merlin said suddenly.

Smell it?

Several people looked at each other suspiciously, and then their noses fluttered together...... The three of them are not weak in perception, they didn't pay attention just now, but now they are prepared, and they have all found problems.

There was indeed a very light, leaf-like smell that flowed in the air.

"This ...... Isn't it normal to smell like this in the mountains?"

"I really don't know how the elders in your village agreed to let you out?"

Mei Lin still has a bit of a juvenile heart, and she didn't forget to hit the little hunter: "Can't the current hunters even detect the smell of blood?"

"It smells of blood!" Serena's face changed slightly, but she didn't even see a corpse that was about to decompose.

"Let's go. ”

Murong Xianxian urged the horse to overtake Mei Ke, sped up, and after a while, he came to the bottom of the valley, "It's there." ”

Merlin pointed ahead and said, and the group followed the direction of her finger...... I saw that on the stone wall at the bottom of the valley, there was a gap that led directly to the top of the stone wall. This gap is narrow at the top and at the bottom, it doesn't seem to be very wide, it's just a very ordinary crack that can accommodate one person to go down, but when I look down, I only feel that the gap is getting bigger and bigger, Merlin intuitively told herself. The underside of this crack is definitely not as simple and ordinary as it seems from above.

The cold and damp wind continued to roll out of the cracks, and a corrupt and bloody breath came to the face, constantly stimulating everyone's nerves.

"It's the smell, with a bloodthirsty effect. ”

Merlin's expression was a little solemn, "It should be what the dark wizard has done down here that will cause the porcupines to go crazy." If this continues, those porcupines will eventually become completely out of their minds...... Think about it, more than 10,000 demonic beasts that have lost their minds will cause huge chaos once they enter a town with a relatively concentrated population. ”

"I'm afraid that's what the dark wizards want. ”

Serena's expression also became solemn, "According to the current development situation, there must be a battle between the Wizarding Alliance and the Dark Wizard Alliance, and the dark wizards are infiltrating in advance to undermine the stability of the Wizarding Alliance's sphere of influence." I don't know what the situation is below, and it's hard to take further steps. ”

"Why don't we go back and report and let the academy send someone to help solve it?" Selina suggested.

Serena rejected this suggestion in her heart, knowing that with Merlin's identity and pride, she would not agree.

Sure enough, Mei Lin shook her head: "Don't be busy yet." Let's figure out what's going on inside. ”

As she spoke, she released the Night Falcon...... Although the gap is not a forest, in this environment, the night falcon's vision is enough to see the environment inside, and it is a flying creature, in case there is a bottomless pit or something, it is relatively safe to enter.

"Ga~"

The Night Falcon is obviously not very happy with this task, preferring to fly in a place with a wider field of vision...... Like the sky, or during the day. However, under the bad master of Merlin, it is destined to have no favor. Finally, after a soft grunt, the night falcon flapped its wings and flew in, disappearing into the darkness in a few moments, and finally the sound of flapping its wings was gone.

"This fury isn't going to do anything to it, is it?" asked Selina worriedly.

"No, it won't. I've been with me for so long, and I don't even have the slightest resistance, so I'm really thinking about changing pets. Merlin said.

In fact, although wizards are good at raising pets or something, the main purpose is nothing more than two, one is self-defense and early warning, and the other is reconnaissance...... Of course, there are also people who want to relieve loneliness, but there are relatively few such people, after all, wizards sign magic pets, and they have to pay the price of mental power.

Wizards and pets can share vision, and after getting the information from the night falcon, Merlin's expression became solemn.

The gap was not as narrow as she had imagined, and it became even bigger the further down it went, nearly 100 meters deep.

However, the walls of the cracks are not smooth, and the walls of the cracks are full of large and small cracks, and occasionally some caves appear, which stretch all the way into them, and there are no edges in sight.

This situation surprised Merlin, it was still somewhat unexpected that it would be like this.

Judging from the results of the current exploration, the gap is steep and dangerous, but it is not straight. There is a lot to climb, and if you really encounter danger, there is still a way, and although the night falcon cannot bear weight, she has a flying golem.

"No, it's too dangerous!" Hearing that Merlin was going to enter the crack herself, the Serena sisters strongly objected, and even the little hunter Meco, muttered that she should consider it carefully.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger. ”

Merlin summoned the Night Falcon back with a very resolute attitude.

"This is a task given to me by Mentor Alonso, and it is not enough to complete it to this extent...... No, no, no, you can't!"

Seeing her resolute tone, Serena and the others wanted to go down, but Mei Lin refused: "Your martial arts foundation is not good, it is too dangerous to go down." And there's more to get done. ”

"What's the matter?" asked Serena.

"Go out, take all the horses out, and hide in a secret place outside the valley, and when it is dark we will meet at the peak closest to the mouth of the valley. But the most important thing is that when you go out, you must wipe out all traces left along the way......"

"Well, then you have to be careful yourself, don't take any chances. Serena told her again and again before leaving with Selina and Meco.

After the three of them came out of view, Merlin cleaned up a little and entered the crack. (To be continued.) )
