Act Fifty-Four: The Crystal Cave

"It's ...... Mana Crystal?"

Looking at the crystals all over the cave the size of a whole city square, Irandall was a little stunned, these crystals clearly exude a magical aura, just what you see in front of you, its value is more than tens of thousands of gold coins, if all of them are mined, it can fully support the expenses of a small country in the North Olympic Union for more than half a year.

Moreover, the location of this cave is not very deep, and Elandall is not aware of the dangerous aura at present, why is this place so well preserved, don't those explorers disdain the value of these magic crystals?

"Take a closer look. ”

Lawson wasn't so excited, but quickly saw the clue, and he pointed to a towering crystal and said to Irandall.

"Huh?"

Originally still in excitement and confusion, Irandall heard Rosen's warning, so he calmed down and observed carefully, perceiving the spread, and then was shocked to find that these so-called magic crystals actually exuded the breath of creatures.

"This is actually a creature, called the Crystal Cluster Worm, whose body takes on the appearance of a magic crystal, and at the same time exudes an aura similar to a magic crystal, which is difficult to distinguish if you don't distinguish it carefully. ”

Fina was clearly aware of the cave's knowledge and was speaking slowly.

"For most of the day, the Crystal Worm is like a real magic crystal, motionless and exuding an alluring magical aura, which is a beautiful taste for most of the monsters that live in the Nether Cave, and once they enter this cave, they will stay here like many greedy adventurers and refuse to leave, hoping to earn more magic crystals. ”

In the next episode, Randall can also guess that when these creatures stay here to rest, the crystal worms will start to move, devouring those unlucky guys, turning them into their own nutrition, and then turning back into their original magic crystals, waiting for the next batch of prey.

"The name of this cave is the Cave of Crystal Worms, and the first explorers who arrived here thought that these were magic crystals, and eventually fell into the trap and left their lives here forever. ”

Fina said, glancing again at the alluring glow of the crystals in the cave.

"My father once said that the Netherworld, though complex, is in a way quite simple, and that it takes not strength or a sharp mind to walk safely, but to restrain one's greed. ”

The snake seemed to be attracted by the magical scent below, and was circling its fall.

"This snake looks like it's going to be caught in this cave, and we've got to get through here as soon as possible. ”

As she spoke, Fina jumped as the snake approached a cloud of crystals on the ground, and landed firmly on the ground.

When Irandall approached the ground, he realized that the crystals were not really covered with the ground, but clusters with many gaps, but because most of the crystals were very tall, at first glance, they looked like they were all covered with crystals.

The three fell to the ground and looked around.

The Crystal Cluster Worm appears to be dormant, unmoved by the trio's arrival.

Boom –

The snake landed on the ground and slammed many of the crystals open, spreading its thin-winged claws and wriggling around the ground, trying to devour the "magic crystals".

Clicks–

I heard a crisp sound, and a crystal was bitten off by the tentacle mouth of the Phantom Snake, and it was put into its mouth and chewed.

But the feast didn't last long, when the snake stopped its movements, and seemed to fall to the ground in pain, convulsing constantly.

"These magic crystals actually contain quite powerful paralyzing toxins, and if they are ingested and touched, they can easily fall into a state of immobility, and thus become food for these crystal worms. ”

Explaining, Fina tiptoed through the crystals, moving towards one of the cave exits at the other end.

"The reason why I chose to move with the snake is because it allows the snake to be used as bait to lure other crystal worms to hunt, and the explorers can take the opportunity to pass through the cave. ”

"I see. ”

Lawson was still thinking about why he wanted to take the "free ride" of the snake in addition to being faster, but now he realized that there was such wisdom hidden in it.

The three of them quickly moved between the crystals, and at the same time, in the distance, a sparse sound was heard.

I saw countless pale golden crystals, trembling slightly, and the ghost snake kept wriggling, trying to fly again.

Next, the crystal group rose suddenly, and you could see that at the root of the crystal, a pair of huge eyes appeared, and those eyes flashed green, showing a somewhat fierce look.

The black multi-** staggered movement, slowly approaching the snake at a steady speed.

The scene of countless crystals moving was quite shocking, and the earth trembled, mixed with the faint wail of the serpent.

This is the law of survival in nature, and Rosen and others have no intention of intervening.

However, just as the three of them were heading towards the intersection that Fina had guided, the crystal as tall as a hill shook suddenly.

Buzz –

A shock wave of magical power vibrated out, causing the surrounding crystalline worms to retreat, as if in awe.

Then, the hill moved.

With a sparse sound, a mountain-high crystal rose, revealing the body of the crystalline worm below.

A larger body than any other crystalline worm, with sharp chelae, huge legs, and at the same time, a polygonal circle of light looming from the crystal surface.

This crystalline worm has obviously reached a higher life level, can control the elements, and has become a bronze-level monster.

This is the cave master of this Crystal Cluster Worm Cave, the King of Crystal Worms.

"Why is this happening?"

Fina was a little flustered, this method has been proven to be an effective method countless times, and her father has passed through this path more than once to enter the next layer of the endless abyss, why did such a change occur when he came to her?

"It seems that our wish to pass by quietly has been frustrated. ”

Lawson protected the two girls behind him, and in front of him, a translucent barrier rose.

Originally, he wanted to just pass by directly, not to disturb the ecological balance that had stretched for an unknown number of years in the Netherworld's cave.

However, since the other party collided directly, then Rosen can't be blamed for hitting too hard, resulting in a heavy blow to a race.

After all, Lawson still has a little research interest in these bugs that can disguise themselves as magic crystals.

"I can't help it, just let my lab have a few more specimens. ”

Clenched his fists, Rosen said.
