Chapter 238: Petrified Hunting
Stepping on the mossy dark green stone, Lawne spread his wings, kept his balance, and silently began to move forward. Wearing soft-soled shoes, Brant gently stepped on the slippery gravel, making a small dry sound. More than ten steps away, there stood a large pile of scattered stones, crooked stalactite pillars on the side, standing lonely among the mossy ruins, and in the middle was a black entrance, like the devil's open mouth.
The pirate captain took a few steps forward, staring carefully at Lawn's cautious advance, nervously looking into the cave, "I have a very bad premonition......
Lawne waved at him vigorously, exclaiming in chagrin, "You have a bad premonition about everything! You crow's mouth! You're right this time! β
Brandt shoved the two of them, making them both stop. "She's gone?"
Raun nodded, his wings flared behind him, and replied to the prince decadently, "Yes, it is so merciless, they will not wait even a day. β
"Hmph, this is your kindred." Houdini burst into laughter.
Lawne glared at him, "You humans aren't much better! He looked down at the broken moss on the stones, reached out and pulled some off and sniffed them under his nose, "They just walked a little later!" β
"But we didn't meet them in the sky." Brandt reminded. The sight in the sky is all-round, and since there is no head to meet, it means that Dala is flying in the same direction as herself, and they are on their way to Crescent City! The prince made his vision public, but Lawne opposed it.
"The Dragon-Winged Angel can fly at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters," Lawn explained, "and our eyes are no different from those of you humans, and we can only see through the clouds from a hundred meters away, and I have three unpaid passengers on me," he glared at Houdini, "and the fact that we didn't meet Dala only means that we are not at the same altitude." β
Brant wasn't discouraged, "Remember, that human, what exactly did he want Dara to do for him?" Houdini, you look around the hole, and you might be able to find clues left by that guy. β
"Hmph, am I your servant now? Do you think you're a prince when you call the shots......" The pirate grunted and walked away, stepping deep and shallow into the depths of the cavern.
"Now, it's just the two of us," Brant said as he stared at Lawne. β
"You're so smart." Lawne pursed his mustache and straightened up proudly, "That human wanted to find someone who could fight all magic, he thought that person was in Crescent City, but he didn't expect it to come to naught, and now, Dala and they have found the whereabouts of that person and went to arrest him." β
"Someone who can fight all magic?" Brandt muttered repeatedly. In the Flame Country, I have encountered similar magic, and I have a deep understanding of its perverted confinement, but the principle of the Forbidden Demon Stone is only forbidden, not all magic is invalidated, and the operator is not human; A person who can possess such powerful magic, if he has strong ambitions, must already be in a high position at this time. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Brant's mindβwasn't that General Koman, the man who called himself Vanessa's brother!
"I think I know who that guy is," Brandt put his finger in his mouth and whistled, beckoning Houdini back, turning to Lawne and saying, "I'm sorry, we still have to give you a ride, please give us a ride to Neverwinter." β
"You mean Dara and they went to Winterfell?" Raun looked at the prince with a hard time.
"Otherwise, where else would you go, what that demon human you are talking about wants is the Winterless Lord Koman."
"But why didn't Dara mention this man's name?"
"Will the queen ant and queen bee tell all the things they know to the pawns?" Houdini threw Lawne a stinky face, "Your level determines how much you know what's going on, boy. β
"You!" Raun flapped his wings and screamed angrily, but found that his body was unusually heavy, and the roots of his wings, which were originally very strong, could not support his weight.
"Aha!" Suddenly there was a burst of laughter from outside the cave, "Caught!" Go tell the captain that we've caught one! β
"Maureen!" Brant's first reaction was the boy who was left outside the cave by himself, where was he? The three of them rushed out at the same time, but found that their feet were like boulders, and the lifting of their legs did not work at all!
"It's a stone!" Houdini pointed to the ground around the three of them, and sure enough, in the dark cavern, there was an artificial circle of round blue and yellow stones, each stone had something faintly drawn on it, and the light in the cave was so dim that the careful Brant did not realize that he had entered such a strange circle. They were too nervous, but if they looked closely, the cave was full of strange stone circles, some as thick as buckets, others bigger than a tavern. When these stone circles worked, the drawings on the stones would glow slightly with the triggering of the magic, and now Brant could finally see that the stones were covered with dark red blood droplets, which was a petrification magic that was often used to hunt some rare species, of course, provided that the other party did not have intelligence.
"Where's Maureen? Maureen! Brandt drew his long sword and shouted, not far away there was the sound of feather arrows breaking through the air, he hurriedly lowered his body, but the space he gave up was just the arrow that Lawne was hit, he snorted, and his body fell limply, no! You can't have an accident! We're all counting on you to fly us out! Brandt gave an order to Houdini as he dialed the carving feather with his sword: "Find the nearest circle of stones and mess with them!" β
The pirate did as he was told, and under the cover of the prince, he tried to find the flaws in the strange stone circle, but the stones were so far away from his hand that his petrified legs did not allow him to stretch his arms, so Houdini also drew the sword at his waist and swept it to the ground, "dang" to the ground, his random movements made a crisp sound from the sword body, it seemed that the periphery of the stone circle was there, he threw himself to the ground with his arms stretched as far as possible, and the iron sword flew away under the desperate swing, with an exciting crisp sound of "bang", The restraints on everyone's feet disappeared, and Brant bore the brunt of the attack and ran out of the cave, how is Morin, this poor boy can't have been attacked by a beast, why didn't he make any noise just now?
Outside the cave, two soldiers in armor with a crescent moon emblem were armed with their bows and arrows, ready for the next round of shooting, but their arrows were strange, neither quenched iron tips nor shiny forked arrows, but a duck's head with a flat beak!
