235F, Gem Land 7
You go first, and I'll help him. Ah Xuan said a word, and turned back to the shore.
Moran and Lepepe entered the cave first, and as soon as they stepped into the cave, they felt that the sound of the waterfall behind them seemed to be left behind, although it was still rumbling, but the sound became dull and much quieter.
Faintly, Moran seemed to hear something strange, but he wasn't sure what it was. And the cave was so dark that she couldn't see anything clearly, and she didn't dare to go deeper.
Lepepe said something to herself, and then ran desperately ahead.
"Ahh
Moran grabbed his hair and felt a little broken.
"Really, the language barrier is terrible! Can't you fix the language worldwide!"
Complaining is complaining, but Moran still chases after him.
As he went deeper into the cave, Moran's eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, and although he couldn't fully see what it was, he could barely see the outline of things.
She was glad it was just after noon, and the sun was still strong. Otherwise, it's a little later, and it's all pitch black.
And the closer he got to the source, Moran could clearly tell it was a cry.
The cry was very close to that of a human, and even had the feeling of a baby crying.
Beneath the cry, there seems to be the sound of claws rubbing.
For a moment, Moran's mind conjured up countless horror stories about youkai imitating a baby's cry to attract passers-by.
She tried to shout out to stop her, but Lepepe ran faster than her.
And......
They also seem to have alarmed the unknown beings in the depths of the cavern.
Even now, it's too late to remind.
Suddenly, there was a blur in front of him, and Moran saw a black shadow pounce on Le Pepe in front of him.
Mo Lan didn't care so much, he roared, shocked the other party, and at the same time poured the power of the dragon vein into his feet, and his body exploded, flashing red light.
The blade was unsheathed, and Moran held the long condensed blade in his hand and slashed towards the black shadow.
Her hands had already been wrapped in layers of bandages, in order to better use the ability of the gem.
"Whew~!"
Moran thought he would hear the sound of metal colliding, but he didn't expect to hear a scream.
She seemed to have cut something.
And this scream...... This is probably Moran's most familiar voice in recent days.
It's a tree feather dragon.
- Now that you know what it is, it's easy to do.
Moran also condensed a sharp blade in his left hand, and then slashed with the force of his right, and his entire body turned around, cutting the throat of the tree feather dragon.
The corpse of the tree feather dragon fell to the ground with a bang, but the cry did not stop, but became louder.
And the place where the voice originated seemed to be very close to him.
After contemplating it, Moran realized that the voice was actually coming from above his head.
She looked up and seemed to feel that there was a platform a few meters above the ground, and there was a black shadow on it that moved again.
Just as she tried to see, the walls of the cave glowed red.
- No, it's not the cave itself. It's about what's approaching.
There was the sound of footsteps running towards this direction, accompanied by the shouts of Ah Xuan and Noha.
She stepped behind her, only to see a translucent dome of burning flames, enveloping Xuan and Noha.
【...... But at this moment, the benefactor used his magical power! The flame of God ignited all around his body! With the power of one person, he blocked most of the black tide!]
Moran recalled Ariana's words at the beginning, she only thought that the other party was over-embellished, but she didn't expect it...... What Ariana said turned out to be true.
"At this time...... Fire attribute shield?" Moran was curious and wanted to reach out and touch it.
"Danger!" Ah Xuan shouted, and directly removed the protective cover.
The whole cave was left with endless darkness and cries.
"This shield is an offensive and defensive one, I haven't fully mastered how to use it, and there is no way to do it without harming you. ”
Ah Xuan's voice came, and then the red light was bright again, but now it was only wrapped around him.
But the brightness was enough to make a clear view of the inside of the cave.
"I think four-leaf clover gems can be used for attribute testing. But...... Are there different attributes that multiple personalities are good at......? Ah, that's!"
Moran said half-jokingly, looking over at the cry.
On the platform, a few meters above the ground, there was a hairless ape child, dressed in a close-fitting animal skin suit, looking about five or six years old.
It seems that the reason why the tree feather dragon was here just now was because he saw his own food.
Moran stepped onto the platform in two or three steps, "Okay, okay, don't be afraid." Sister is here. ”
She whispered softly, opened her arms, and slowly approached the child.
"Wow~!"
The crying was louder.
Moran felt like his eardrums were about to burst.
Then Le Pepe and Noha also ran up, trying to get close to the child, but who would have thought that such a cute little animal could not subdue his heart, and the three of them were helpless.
"That...... Ah Xuan, you can try it. Moran suggested.
She suddenly remembered that when she fled the national capital of Al Maho, the children who were locked in the cage were very close to Ah Xuan.
Ah Xuan handed the four-leaf clover gem to Moran.
She unfolded the shield, and the dark purple light circulated in the space, which was more acceptable than red, and even gave her a sense of security.
Ah Xuan landed on the platform as soon as he stepped on it, his body was as light as a swallow, and the action was comfortable to look at.
Before he could get closer, the cry of the hairless ape child stopped of its own accord.
Ah Xuan stretched out his hand to hug the child, who did not resist at all, pouting his chubby fingers, a really good baby.
Noha's hand passed through Moran's unfolded shield and put it back on, and he had a lot of fun, and said, "It's strange, why is this shield of yours useless, and the light is still so dim......
"It's really hard to see the light dim. Moran sighed.
It seems that the matter of coaxing the child really has to be done by Ah Xuan.
"What's next?
Le Pepe is undoubtedly sure of this question.
Ah Xuan also said that maybe the child ran out of the cave.
However, the idea was quickly rejected by them.
Because they hadn't been walking for five minutes before they collided with a team.
Moran and the others thought they were enemies at first, but fortunately, both Noha and Lepepe smelled the familiar smell and avoided the fight.
"Salamon, and Gray?"
Moran recognized the comer.
It was a team led by the Elling, about twenty or thirty people, and there were only three or four of them.
On closer inspection, they seemed to have come from the cave at the root of the Mother Tree of Sia, which was one of the caves they had investigated, and the farthest they had traveled.
