Chapter 362: Crypt Man Settlement
Chapter 362: Crypt People Settlement
After another half a day, Leitch and the others still failed to catch the leader of the cryptmen, and at this time, the situation in the territory has begun to become sharply 'delicate' - according to the magic transmission from the Great Guardian Clark not long ago, a large number of black mist and necromantic creatures have also appeared in the territory connected to the Starmist Valley, and these territories are all unprepared, so these territories can now be described as chaotic and with heavy casualties!
To make matters worse, the lords of these realms seem to have received the news that the source of these necromantic creatures is in Starfog Valley! Many lords or representatives of lords have already arrived in Lyra Holy City!
These lords include almost all the territories connected to Starmist Valley - the southwest is the Abyss Territory and its subordinate territories, and it is not Emily herself who came this time (who is still in the Succubus Sea), but her eldest son, His Royal Highness the Abyss Territory, Earl Hayden of Deep Rain! Now Leitch and Hayden have reached a tacit understanding in some respect, so although Leitch does not dare to say that the other party will help him, it is estimated that the other party will not fall into the well at least.
The southeast and northeast are now the territory of the Red Demon Empire, and now the Red Demon Empire and the Dawson Free Federation are at war, so none of the lords of those affected territories dare to come in person, but they have all sent representatives. But since the main lord has not come, and the two sides are enemies, it is not easy to deal with these so-called lord representatives?
The most troublesome thing is the group of guys who came from the southwest - to the southwest of Starfog Valley is the Holy Laurent Empire, and the closest to Starfog Valley are the three dioceses belonging to Soridan County (in the Holy Laurent Empire, the territory administered by the Judge Knights is called the Knight's Domain, the priest is called the Dioces, and those that do not belong to the Inquisition are called the Territory), one papal district, two bishoprics, and it is the Pope and the two bishops themselves!
Although Leitch has not yet met with these three priests, judging from the tone of Clark's voice transmission, these three goods are definitely a big trouble! However, no matter how big the trouble is, Leitch has no time to pay attention to it now, and if there are two demi-saints (Clark and Aubrey) in the city today, Leitch does not believe that they really dare to make any waves.
The only thing that worries Leitch is that as the movement caused by the Kuroshio Tide grows louder and louder, will it eventually attract the attention of the Black Tower? If it really attracts those crazy people, then the situation will really be difficult to control.
However, at present, Leitch did not have time to pay attention to this, at this time, he had already taken Davis, Carl and twenty Lyra Patrol Female Guards into the underground - because the underground terrain is narrow, too many people will become constrained, so Leitch does not bring many guards;
The entrance to the cave where Leitch and the others entered was very large, four or five meters high, in an inverted triangle, and the inside of the passage was also very wide, enough for five or six people to pass through at the same time! However, after observation, Leitch did not detect any traces of artificial excavation from these passages, and it was obvious that this was a naturally formed underground cave, at least this part was.
Walking along the cave for less than a hundred meters, Leitch and the others came to a larger cave hall, which was obviously also naturally formed. When approaching the cave hall, Lei Qi and the others heard the sound of the water, and gradually felt a chill on their skin, when they really walked to the cave hall, Lei Qi and the others found that they were now at the top of the cave hall, looking at the past, the bottom of the cave hall was a bottomless pool, and the mountain wall was wrapped with several black ribbons, just like the black ribbon that the girl used to decorate her white lotus jade arm!
But if you look closely, you can see what kind of black ribbon it is, and in fact it is a bridge used for passage! This kind of bridge is made of pieces of 'wooden rafts' about two or three meters long, but Leitch and the others are very sure that these are not 'wooden rows', and from the eyes of Leitch as an alchemist, these 'wooden rafts' seem to be the 'limbs' of some kind of creature!
There are more than a dozen smaller openings in the entire mountain wall, apparently carved by hand! and it is not difficult to see that quite a few of these dozen or so openings are very narrow. This immediately reminded Leitch and the others of the scene where those crypt people 'crawled' inside like earthworms......
After Bond 'communicated' with several crypt people in a syllable that Leitch and the others didn't understand at all, Leitch and the others began to move on again - during the 'exchange', except for the crypt people who were questioned, the rest of the crypt people were blinded by magic, so Leitch and the others were not worried about being deceived.
Leitch and the others meander down the pitch-black bridge, eventually entering through a hole at the bottom of the tunnel, where they are soaked in water from the thigh down. This made Leitch sigh in his heart - no wonder those criminals regarded this place as a 'free paradise', and if there were no 'acquaintances' to lead the way, it would really be difficult to find someone here.
After passing through the cave hall, the vision of Leqi and the others began to dim, although it had no effect on Leqi himself, but not for others, so Leqi began to release magic magic all the way, because in their group, he was the only mage, and the magic mastered by those Tianqin patrol guards was used in battle. In addition, Reich had the men in the rear of the troops light torches.
Since the torches are all lit, why do you want to release the magic? It's not that Leitch's magic power has nowhere to vent, or it's just deliberately pretending, but the lighting distance of the torches is limited after all, but the magic light magic can project a ball of light more than ten meters away! This allows Leitch and the others to perceive the situation ahead in advance—for example, there is a deep pit ahead, or a trap is hidden.
Soon, Leech and the others came across the first Cryptman settlement, which was a structure similar to a 'tent', also pitch black, and shaped like a 'barn' house built by some indigenous peoples in the Earth's tropical rainforest. And the material from which this tent is built gives Leitch the feeling of some kind of 'carapace'. When he walked into the tent, from the 'wall' of the tent, Leitch observed a residual pattern after the blood and muscles dried up, which strengthened Leitch's conjecture.
The interior of the tent was also extremely rudimentary, and Retch couldn't even find any decent furniture, except for a pitch-black cage and a stone table. There are not many traces of artificiality in the materials used in this cage, and the materials used by the crypt people to build their tents are probably the same materials, but they are smaller. Inside the cage, Leitch only found some plant rhizomes, and Leitch did not find any alchemical value from these plant rhizomes, which are probably the 'vegetables' that the cavemen usually eat. As for the stone table, it looks very simple, and it feels like the stone tools used by xx people xx years ago that I saw in the museum before I traveled over......
Apart from these two things, there was nothing else in the tent, not even a bed, so it is not difficult to imagine that these cavemen must have 'used the earth as a bed and the sky as a bed'. It's no wonder that the Cryptmen are not included in the category of intelligent races, and can only be grouped with the semi-civilizations of the Gnolls, who are somewhere between civilization and beast - compared to the goblins and dwarves, who also live underground, these Cavemen are indeed no different from beasts!
"Bill, come and see, I've found a lot of stargrass here!hahaha, this time Uncle Ben is going to send it!" It was Lawski who was shouting, but with the kid's urine nature, even if Leitch was thinking with the soles of his feet, he had no doubt that he was not here to share the joy of discovery with Bill, this thing was purely showing off. But can you find Starlight Grass in this place?Luck smiled......
Walking out of the tent, Leitch suddenly noticed that most of the rest of the people were gathered in one area, and in the center was the triumphant Lawsky, and it was obvious that everyone else was attracted by his 'great discovery'.
As soon as Leitch approached, he felt a cool magical glow come into his eyes—a funnel-shaped collapse with an estimated surface area of twenty square meters, located beneath the surface, no wonder everyone hadn't noticed it at first. On the inner surface of the 'funnel', there is a dense patch of magical plants, each of which is about fifteen centimeters tall. The whole plant only has two leaves at the bottom, and at the top is a petunia-shaped flower, purple-blue, with three stamens in the center of the flower, and the magical light that Retch saw came from these stamens!
"Snort," Bill just smiled disdainfully at Lawski's show-off, then shook his head seriously and said, "It's not your fault for being ignorant, but it's your fault for being ignorant and still coming out!"
Obviously, unlike Lawski, Bill still knows something about Starlight Grass. Seeing that Lawski was looking at him with a hopeful gaze, although Leitch couldn't bear to hit him, he still said: "Bill is right, these are indeed not Starlight Grass. ”
Seeing that Lawsky, who was originally arrogant, suddenly turned into a defeated rooster, Leitch couldn't help but laugh and said: "But you don't have to be disappointed, although these magic plants are not Starlight Grass, from a certain point of view, their value is not lower than the alchemy value of Starlight Grass;
Hearing Leitch say this, even Davis was intrigued, and she couldn't help asking, "Oh, Leech, tell me, what is this magic plant?"
"It's called Starlight Ghost Grass, although it is only one word different from Starlight Grass in terms of name, but its purpose is worlds apart! Starlight Ghost Grass doesn't have a specific growth environment, so we can only meet them out of pure luck, haha. Oh, by the way, don't touch this plant with your hands, or your soul will be gone, and don't blame me for not warning you. ”
These words immediately frightened Lawski, who was about to put his hand down, but soon he swelled up again, looked at Bill and laughed proudly: "Silly big one, do you hear? Although this is not a starlight grass, its value is not lower than that of the starlight grass at all! Haha, I said that I am a child of the elements, and you are still not convinced?!"
"Elemental child, a dwarf, I almost believed it!" Bill said with a strange expression......
These tents are surrounded by the kind of 'wooden rafts' that Leitch and others have seen to build bridges, and at the same time, in addition to the 'tents' where the cavemen live, there are also some 'corrals' similar to those used by humans to raise chickens and ducks in rural areas. However, when they saw the 'domestic animals' raised in the 'corral', everyone was shocked and changed color -- these 'domestic animals' were a huge black beetle, more than a meter long, and looked like a large flat cockroach! This kind of beetle was extremely black, and their carapace even looked quite dazzling under the light of the torch! These black beetles have many limbs, although they can't see the specific number, but I think there are more than a dozen pairs! Their heads have a pair of slender antennae, just like the pair of antennae on the headbands that come with the Monkey King's standard package, except for the different colors......
But when they saw the fragmented corpses in the enclosure, everyone's faces turned ugly - the remains had the limbs of wild beasts like elk and wild boar, but more often than not, they were from humans!
"Bang!"
At this moment, a sword light suddenly burst out, instantly cutting a black beetle that was chewing a bloody human skull in half with a sword!
It was Niza who made the move, and at this time she knelt deeply in front of Leitch, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Viscount, I apologize to you!
