Chapter 2240: Dark Forest (4)

Led by Bediwell, Arthur made his way almost unimpeded through the forest path to a small cave.

The cave is actually very hidden, and the road to it is also winding, and under normal circumstances, outsiders would not be able to find it so easily. And Bediwell only asked a few words from the captured wolf, and no one expected that a few simple questions would contain such a large amount of information, and explain the whole complicated path clearly.

I guess when Bediville communicates with the wolf, it's not just verbal, but also similar to telepathy. Arthur thought. Otherwise, it won't explain all this at all.

The cave in front of them was very hidden, and the entrance was slightly smaller, allowing only two people to enter head-on. Behind the bottleneck-like special opening, the environment inside is more and more open and can accommodate more people. This cave is really a natural fortress, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the invaders wanted to attack the cave from the front, they would first have to use a small force to pass through the narrow hole. After passing through the hole, the intruder will be immediately ambushed by various traps and garrisons, so to speak, there is no return, and as many as you enter, you will die. It can be said that the person who built this cave, or used the natural structure of this cave as a defense------ was very clever, or at least, he or she knew a lot about the art of war.

"There are not half of the enemy along the way, and it is estimated that all their remaining forces will remain in the cave and wait to meet us. Bediwell said, "And the cave is probably full of traps, and as soon as you enter, you will be attacked by traps." ＂

"What's going on inside?"

"I can't get my hands on it. The stupid wolf's IQ is limited, and he can't explain it clearly, but the way here can be explained, but the situation in the cave can't be explained. ＂

"There is no way, so you can only break through from the front and act at the opportunity. Arthur knew how dangerous a head-on breakthrough was, but there was nothing they could do now.

"Your Majesty. However, a black crow shadow flew by and landed on the blonde boy's shoulder.

"You're finally here, Merlin. Arthur snorted with a little dissatisfaction, "And I think you've figured out what's going on in this cave?"

"The cave itself is a trap, Your Majesty. Merlin's voice echoed in the black shadow of the crow, but it was actually a teleportation technique, which was directly transmitted to Arthur's mind: "The people inside activated the maximum defense, as long as they passed through the cave entrance, all the mechanisms in the front of the cave would be triggered in one go. The ground was covered with sticky grease, burning char dripping from the top of the head, and spiked traps pressed down on the left and right sides. No matter how agile you are, you can't dodge it. ＂

"Hmph. Arthur snorted. It seems that their opponents have sensed their arrival, and they are afraid that Arthur and Bediwell are not easy to mess with, so they have been on guard.

"But no matter how good the fortifications are, there are bound to be holes, right?" Arthur added, "tell me there is another entrance to this cave." ＂

"Yes, indeed. Merlin replied, "It should be used as an emergency escape exit for the people inside." At the top of the cliff, on the other side of the cave. The cave's builders cleverly hid the emergency exits, but nothing could fool Harry's eyes. ＂

Because the shadow of the raven controlled by Merlin now is just a phantom, and it is also a projection created by Daredevil Harry in this other world nine hundred years later. It has almost no mass, and can penetrate many objects like a mist, seep through various buildings, come and go freely, and pick up a lot of information that would never be detectable by normal means.

"Understood. Then infiltrate from the other side and kill them by surprise. The Knight King asked, "Anyway, have you found out the true face of the witch in the cave?"

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I can't find that. ＂

"Why? I thought Harry's projection could break through walls and know everything. ＂

"Normally, that's the case. But inside the cave there was a way to the lower chambers, and the witch was hidden in it. The way down there is a very powerful exorcism enchantment, and even Harry's projection can't penetrate into it. ＂

"Awesome. Arthur frowned: "This witch has some skills." ＂

In this world where photon civilization is extremely low, there are not many people who can use magic, and of course even fewer people can use powerful magic. Despite this, there is still such a witch who can construct an enchantment that even the high-ranking demon Harry cannot invade, so it seems that she is quite high in magic attainments, and she is indeed a powerful character. You have to be very careful when dealing with this witch.

But having said that, Arthur still has the Seraphic Holy Sword in his hand, so there should be nothing to be afraid of. The scabbard of the holy sword can use the same move as the king's scabbard [Spellbreaker], this move is the nemesis of all magic, golems, and supernormal phenomena in the world, and when the spellbreaker launches, and then the amazing golden light explodes from the scabbard and covers the entire world, all the magic within its area of influence will be invalid, and all the golems illuminated by its light will stop moving, and even the "boundless darkness" will disintegrate.

Unless the opponent has the upper hand, as long as the Seraphic Sword is in hand, Arthur will win against any magician.

What will actually turn out will depend on the live performance. The Knight King swallowed. He has not experienced too much or too little of the battle against the magicians, and no matter how much experience he has, it is useless, and sometimes the myriad attacks of the magicians can make him suffer.

Arthur and Bedwell made their way to the back mountain, and finally found the secret escape exit that Merlin was referring to. The exit was obscured by several bushes, and on the surface there were small gaps made of several naturally formed rocks, which normal people could not pass through. However, if you look closely, you will find that the crack is actually much larger than it looks from a distance, and if you touch it with your hand, you will feel an illusory protruding stone, which is probably an illusion. This extremely cleverly arranged secret escape exit is normally impossible for outsiders to discover, and even if you occasionally see this hidden stone crevice, you will never think that its gap is so large that it can actually be passed through.

It's really a leaky covert job. Seeing this, Arthur also admired the witch who built all this more and more, she is indeed quite smart and capable. It's a shame that such a witch must be destroyed. However, this witch is related to the source of the Black Death, and it is very likely that she is the culprit in spreading the deadly plague that once killed hundreds of thousands of people, and she must not stay.

Before going deeper into the cave, Arthur carefully covered himself with a cloth cloth below his eyes. His memory was fragmented, and he didn't know what the cloth towel he was carrying with him was useful at first, until he learned it when Bediwell reminded him. This cloth towel is said to be a strong filter material, which is also soaked in a powerful antiseptic agent to filter out "impurities" in the air. It carried a strong medicine, even an aroma, just enough to counteract the rancid smell of plague and death. When there was a widespread outbreak of plague in England, the people who handled (burned) the corpses were able to escape the Black Death by wrapping this antiseptic cloth around their faces.

Although it is not clear what the medicine on this cloth does to protect against epidemics, its ability to filter the air is good. Before entering the cave, which was suspected to be the source of the plague infection, Arthur put on a cloth towel and breathed in the filtered, medicinal air, at least a little more reassured.

Bediwell's side disagreed------ he wasn't a human in the first place, he was a demon. The Black Death didn't seem to be able to infect human wolves at all, so he was under no pressure to get sick.

A man and a wolf sneaked into the cave from the crack in the rock, which was still wide enough to barely pass through. During this time, there was no noise, and the garrison in the cave was probably not alert.

"How easy it is to sneak in?" the big white wolf asked in a low voice.

"After all, it's an extremely hidden emergency exit, and the other party didn't expect us to find it. Arthur replied, his voice small and muffled due to the cloth cloth around his face.

Regardless, they were still in a narrow corridor (Arthur even suspected that the entire cave was filled with such narrow corridors that were easy to defend and difficult to attack). Although there do not seem to be any traps in the vicinity of this corridor, Arthur and Bediwell would still be at a decisive disadvantage if they were to be besieged by a whole horde of enemies in such a place. The frequency of attacks is high when the opponent is outnumbered, and the terrain is narrow, so they have no room to dodge, and they can easily be hit.

At this time, you still need to keep a low profile and sneak up. At least until you find a relatively open space where you can make a big fuss, you shouldn't rush to stimulate the opponent's garrison.

"By the way, what are the enemy configurations in the cave?" the blonde boy asked the big white wolf as he crouched and sneaked.

"All I asked about were wolves and some large bear-like beasts, but I don't think they would be in this kind of area. Bedivel replied: "The rest of the forces are unknown. Again, the wolf doesn't know much, it has a limited IQ, and it can't speak clearly. ＂

Arthur couldn't help but let out a "tsk" to express his dissatisfaction. What Bediwell said was the same as what he didn't say, and the result was still based on the field trip. At this time, they also sneaked through a long, deep corridor to a small stone chamber in front of them. The stone chamber was barely illuminated, except for the glowing moss-like vegetation attached to the surrounding area, allowing the dark chamber to see a little. But there was something in the stone chamber. When Arthur saw it, he instantly froze.

It's a scorpion! Judging from the peculiar black and white texture on its body, it must be a highly poisonous insect of a species unique to England, called the Death Scorpion! And this scorpion is very large, the size of a cow!

The strange black death scorpion with three scorpion tails uses its limbs to sense the vibrations of the ground around it to detect enemies. Arthur and Bedwell had just groped their way through the corridor when it sensed Arthur's presence and turned its head to look!

The thing rubbed against its two-petaled jaws with countless spikes and fluff, making a creepy insect chirp!
