Act Fifty-Eight: The Bear's Den

"The direction of gravity has changed?"

There is no doubt that before entering the cave, the three of them were walking on a relatively flat road, and there was no upward climbing, but now, the entrance to the walkway was undoubtedly at the top of the cave, which made the three of them start falling directly down as soon as they entered.

Lawson's eyes were quick, and he directly grabbed the two girls next to him with the mage's hand, and the magic power was released in front of him, slowing down the landing speed.

The three of them walked straight through a cloud of white clouds, and only then did they notice that this space was much larger than they had imagined.

The place where they came out was a small hole in the light gray rock wall, and this rock wall, which directly extended for hundreds of miles, constituted a gray sky dome.

There is a certain shimmering plant growing on the rock wall, which can emit a pale yellow glow, illuminating the cave**.

Under the dome, there were several clouds and mist, and in the distance, a black cloud condensed, and there was a faint thunder and lightning shining, which turned out to be a cumulonimbus cloud.

Further down, Fina saw flocks of birds, circling and traveling, and below that, the vast land was full of greenery, rivers and mountains, and it was not at all like a cave in the depths of the sea, but more like some hidden world.

"This is, Ridgeback Bear's Den?"

Irandall felt a little incredible, if the previous cave showed different creatures adapting to the ecology of the cave, then now this cave is like a creature that has transformed the entire environment.

Rosen saw that there was an artificially erected ladder next to the cave they came out of, and it was possible to climb down the ladder, which seemed to have been arranged by the previous people, but Fina probably hadn't seen it in her notebook, so she ignored it.

Fortunately, Lawson was not afraid of this situation, and he carried a young girl and landed on the ground steadily.

The forest here is not like the rainforest of the Tranquil Sea, but more like the vast primeval forest of the north, with towering trees obscuring the light from the top of the cave, casting the whole forest in a faint mist, making it appear quiet and dim.

In the distance, the low howls of unknown creatures send chills down the spine, and the moist air is mixed with the fishy smell of earth, full of wild breath.

On the ground, decaying fallen leaves are piled up, and they are soft and silent when stepped on.

Lawson extended his perception and found that there was not much inhibition of perception here, and he could easily grasp the wind and grass within a radius of one mile.

Because of this, he was the first to be aware of the existence of other people.

"Anyone else?"

The number was five, and it seemed that they had seen the movement here, and they were moving here, very fast, and they should be running.

"Who?"

Lawson immediately opened the law barrier, and the surrounding space was immediately covered with a faint barrier.

He decided to stay on the sidelines, but wanted to see who it was.

It didn't take long to see a commotion in the woods, and a few people ran out of the grass, looking quite embarrassed.

"Huh?"

When Rosen saw them, he was a little surprised.

Because it's not a stranger, it's an official Atlantia expedition guy.

The man who took the lead was supposed to be Kant, and the man had some scars on his face and torn leather armor, not at all like a master, but more like a fleeing refugee.

Behind Kant is Georg, who is known as an iron wall, and he does not look easy at the moment.

After two explorers of average strength, Rosen saw Dodge.

This originally flamboyant and domineering boy is now covering his arm, which is bandaged with gauze, and his blood has soaked his clothes, and Dodge's face is pale, obviously not feeling good.

"It's you!"

Dodge immediately recognized Lawson and Irandall and Fina behind him, but after a moment of consternation, he suppressed his voice.

"I didn't expect you guys to be so fast. ”

Obviously, the people of the official expedition team chose to descend the abyss at the first time, and they also mastered the shortcut, and they walked ahead of Lawson and the others, and reached this cave first.

It's just that they seem to have been attacked by something, and they are now in the process of fleeing.

Moreover, the original official expedition team consisted of twenty people, but at this moment, there were only five people left.

You must know that although this expedition team is not all elite, except for Dodge, it is also the existence of black iron, otherwise it would not have been possible to descend to the second layer like this.

How strong is the existence that can make this team lose most of it?

"You encountered monsters?"

In this cave, only monsters will attack explorers, Lawson asked, looking up and down.

There are only external injuries on the body, there seems to be no signs of poisoning, the wounds look like they are caused physically, and they should not be a monster that uses the elements, in other words, the physical function of that monster should be quite strong, enough to easily tear apart the barrier of the bronze order with the assistance of magic.

"Perhaps. ”

Kant knew that one of the goals of their trip was that Fiena Noelle was on the other side, but firstly, Rosen himself was so strong that they could not take advantage of a head-on confrontation, and secondly, it was a critical moment, and they did not have much time to think about anything extra.

"We don't know what that monster is, but in an instant, we lost several of our companions, and then we kept retreating, losing several more along the way. ”

Rosen glanced at Fina and tried to ask her opinion.

"I didn't know there were such monsters here, it stands to reason that the Ridgeback Bear should be the master of this cave, the strongest creature here, but the Ridgeback Bear itself has very few observations, and almost no one knows how it attacked. ”

Fina said, bewildered.

In his father's narration, although this cave has a powerful Ridgeback Bear, it is actually one of the safest caves, because there is such a powerful existence as a Ridgeback Bear, so it seriously suppresses the strength of other monsters, even if it is a black iron level, it can be easily dealt with.

So the appearance of a monster that even a famous mercenary like Kant could not deal with was completely beyond Fina's expectations.

"Is it a Ridgeback Bear?"

Edlander asked, since he could easily damage the bronze level, then he could only think of being the cave master.

"I don't know, the way of attack is too weird, silently, I saw the armor of the person being torn, the flesh and blood blooming, and he died in an instant. ”

One of the expedition members said, seemingly in a state of uncertainty.

"This attack is ......"

Rosen seemed to be lost in thought, but soon, a commotion made everyone's nerves tense.

It was like a murmur from a distant time, and after a scream, the surrounding trees shook violently, and the sound of breaking the air was incessant, making the teeth tremble.

"It's it, it's coming!!"

Dodge's voice was full of horror.
