This is a piece from the armor.

If it was just a fragment of armor, Hathaway would not be too surprised, after all, when the dimensional civilization has developed to a certain level, it is a natural thing to manufacture weapons and equipment. But the fragment had a green leaf on it, the hallmark of the Church of Nature, and she didn't think there would be a demon who happened to have the same aesthetic as the Church of Nature.

"Where did you get that?" Hathaway asked softly. She was afraid that she would be too loud and scare the little banshee again.

"It's behind that mountain......"

The 'mountain' that the little banshee said was the iron ore vein of Chiyangyan.

Ten minutes later, Hathaway flew to the end of the open mine, where there was a very hidden cavern, and there were some irregular stones piled up outside the cave, and if you didn't deliberately look for it, even if you passed around every day, you wouldn't notice it, so it was no wonder that the demons who were guarding this place didn't find this hidden cave.

The entrance to the cave was not low enough for an adult to enter and exit, but it was much smaller for the demon's thick body, not to mention the fact that there were many huge rocks scattered outside.

Nicole fell into a coma after taking a Blood Pill, so Hathaway sent her to the Fairy Garden, where the veterans would send her directly to the barracks for training if she woke up early.

It was already night, and the cave was even darker, and Hathaway walked cautiously forward, carrying a magic lamp in one hand and a narrow-bladed knife in the other.

It didn't take her far to find the body Nicole was talking about. This is a shriveled human corpse, perhaps due to the special environment here, this corpse did not decompose after death, and all the water in the body was sucked dry, and it turned out to be a dry corpse.

The corpse's skeleton was stout, and it was wearing a set of armor that had been very good, broken in many places, and there were many dried blood stains on it, and a long sword was next to his outstretched right hand, which had been corroded to the point that it had been corroded. That's when Nicole saw the body. I was so scared that I didn't dare to go any further.

Hathaway crouched down to take a closer look at the corpse...... She noticed that the deceased's head was facing the entrance of the cave, and the blood was all the way into the cave. It shows that he fled after being injured. I just didn't wait for it to come out. He was wounded and killed, or he was chased and killed by the enemy.

In either case, it means that the cave is dangerous. However. Hathaway had to prove for herself that the cave was safe, or she wouldn't be able to mine ore here.

After a little thought, Hathaway continued to move forward, this cave is next to the Red Sun Iron Ore, all the way down, although it is getting darker and darker, but the magic fluctuations are becoming more and more obvious, and on the walls on both sides, the Red Sun Iron Ore appears more and more frequently. The quality of these ores is very good, and with a little smelting, it will produce a very good quality material.

"There are obvious traces of human excavation in this cave, but I don't know who dug it and what the purpose is." Hathaway seemed to be talking to herself, but she was actually asking for the advice of the veterans. However, the latter obviously did not come up with any constructive suggestions, and she had to go on.

After about a quarter of an hour, Hathaway finally reached the bottom of the cavern, and by the light of the magic lamp, Hathaway looked in amazement at the hall-like space ahead...... The ground was strewn with bones, and the soil was stained with blood.

Hathaway was a little confused. There was not a single piece of rotten flesh on these bones, it looked too clean, and the ground was full of decayed clothes except for the yellowed bones...... It may look like a thing, but if you touch it a little, it will turn into a puff of ashes.

Suddenly, a strange wave of magic power appeared in Hathaway's perception, making her slightly startled...... After entering the cave, due to the Red Sun Flame Iron Vein, there is a very strong magical element here...... However, this is mainly a fire element, and Hathaway now perceives an ice magic element.

In this kind of fire elemental home field, it can still break through the suppression, which shows how powerful this ice magic element is, so Hathaway feels strange.

On the opposite side of Hathaway, there was a cavern leading deeper, and she made sure that the wave of magic was not coming from the cave opposite, and her eyes wandered through the underground halls.

"Well, that's it."

Hathaway's gaze fell on a corpse in the middle of the hall, the skeleton of the corpse looked a little slender, but the bones were solid, I don't know how many years have passed, it is still as white as jade, obviously its cultivation before his death is not weak, and the magic fluctuations are emanating from this skeleton.

"That guy was attacked here, tried to escape, and ended up dying at the entrance of the cave. But what about these people? And why are they fighting here? And why did he die? Hathaway wondered.

This may seem like a detail, but when you think about it, it's a matter of doubt...... Just imagine, this is not the main plane, it is already very strange to appear here, but there is a cave here, so many corpses, if it is simply understood that this is the encounter of a group of outlaws, it seems a little unreasonable.

Unless there's something weird in this cave. Otherwise, such an abnormal thing would not have happened.

Thinking of this, Hathaway did not hesitate to bless herself with a 'Natural Armor' magic spell, and then carefully passed through the corpses on the ground, crouched down in front of the skeleton, and with a gentle persuasion, she hit the source of the cold magic fluctuation - it was a curved sword, shimmering with an icy blue brilliance, like a crescent moon.

"Isn't it......"

As soon as the sword was in her hands, Hathaway was pleasantly surprised, because the level of this curved sword definitely exceeded her imagination...... In the world of Titans, weapons and equipment are also graded according to their quality. Normal standard equipment, then black iron, bronze, silver, gold, crystal, and diamond. If the quality of the equipment is very different beyond the knotted diamond, then it can be called an artifact or a quasi-artifact. Hathaway's flying sword was made from a gold-level short sword. And now this arc-shaped sword is at least a diamond-level weapon, and it is also a magic weapon, and its value is not trivial.

Judging from the historical materials she was familiar with, she was at least a powerhouse in the Sacred Domain if she could master a weapon of this level...... Of course, the acquisition of the few artifacts in her hand was due to historical reasons, not because the artifacts were all over the streets. Moreover, with the heritage of the major families of the empire, it is not uncommon to have one or two artifacts as the heritage of the family, especially those families that have appeared in the Sacred Domain powerhouse.

The appearance of this curved sword suited Hathaway's needs, although it was narrower than the blade of her usual narrow blade, it was sharper, and it was an enchanted weapon, which made it easier to use.

Just as Hathaway wanted to take a closer look at her newly acquired sword, a palpitating sensation suddenly rose from her heart, and her figure was able to stand up, and she floated to the side...... Almost at the same time, the ground was covered with dust, and a black shadow shaped like a giant python burst out of the ground, jumping next to Hathaway's shoulder, and a fishy smell reached the tip of her nose.

After Hathaway dodged this blow, she did not immediately counterattack, but rushed out more than ten meters without hesitation, and then threw a fireburst to the place where she was standing just now.

Rumble!

A ball of flame suddenly exploded, enveloping seven or eight black shadows that had just escaped from the ground, and a 'squeak' sound sounded in the flames, which was extremely poignant, and the entire cave also shook violently in the explosion, as if it would collapse at any time.

"Devil's Touch! How could it be such a thing? ”

Seeing the strange tentacles covered in pimples and like sarcomas, Hathaway was a little disgusted, and she also thought about what it was.

Demon Touch is not an animal, but a vine plant, and it is also a plant unique to the demon plane, and its habits are somewhat like man-eating flowers, so it is no wonder that the flesh and blood on those bones are so clean, I am afraid that they have been absorbed by this guy. The most terrifying thing about this guy is not cannibalism, but the sarcoma-like thing growing on the tentacle-like rattans - it will spit a strong acid with a high poison, and this strong acid also has a very strong psychedelic smell, which can be called a plant that is quite unique to the demon plane.

And the Devil's Touch also has a property, it can be in a state of hibernation like an animal, usually lurking underground, and can lie motionless for years or even hundreds of years, but once it smells the breath of fresh flesh, it will quickly wake up, bind its prey with rattan, corrode and melt it into liquid, and then suck it.

While Hathaway is confident that she won't be able to clean up a plant, it can be a nuisance if it gets splashed with acid.

At this moment, the rattan sticking out of the ground of the demon's touch was surrounded by flames, and a few of them exploded immediately, but the sarcomas on the other few were shattered, and the acid splashed, and most of the fire was extinguished, and a pungent dark green liquid gushed out from the wound...... This is the juice of the Devil's Touch, and although it is not as valuable as the acid in the sarcoma, it contains a high degree of poison, and it is not bad to use it to make a potion. As a result, Hathaway no longer uses fire-based magic, but instead shoots seven or eight golden dragon spears into the ground in succession, directly through the ground, and nails into the body of the demon's touch.

Every dragon spear stabbed down, there will be a terrible 'squeak' sound, the devil's touch also has a very simple wisdom, it shrinks the rattan to escape, but is firmly nailed by the dragon lance, and when seven or eight dragon spears pierce down, it finally stands still, and those rattans also lie on the ground softly.
