Volume 2: The Shadow of the Wailing Cave (Remastered) Chapter 8: The Adventures of the Wailing Cave (4)

At the end of the First Age, the collapse of the Elven Empire caused many Elves to reflect on themselves, believing that it was the unbridled use and research of magic by the entire race that led to this tragedy, and in order to avoid the same mistake repeatedly, a group of Elven Druids formed the Council of Cenarion and worked with the support of the Green Dragons to restore the wounds suffered by the world.

Of course, the Barren Land is also within the plans of these druids, and if it weren't for the orcs occupying it, I'm afraid the elves would have taken this land under their own management and restored the ecological balance here. Despite this, the Council of Cenarion sent the Grand Druid Nalarex in an attempt to heal the wounds of war as much as possible.

After the factional war nearly a hundred years ago, the legendary druid traveled to the Sweetwater Oasis with his disciples and tried to restore the natural balance of the Barren Land by purifying the underground water veins here, and they entered this huge underground cavern complex and opened the door to the Emerald Dream in the deepest part, hoping to use the power of the Emerald Dream to achieve this goal.

However, it didn't take long for the Great Druid to be lost in the nightmare of the Emerald Dream Realm, where the dark power eroded his body and gradually spread to the entire underground vein with the help of the magic circle he had laid by his own hands, and the disciples of Nalarex fell into a deep sleep as a result, and their bodies were controlled by this evil force, abandoning their original beliefs, calling themselves Sharptooth Druids, hiding in the depths of the underground cavern and plotting terrible plots.

These druids are Yu Bin's most feared enemies, although their souls have been imprisoned in the Emerald Dream Realm, their own strength still terrifies every explorer who breaks into the depths of the cave, which is why players in previous lives are reluctant to explore deeply, no one wants to face the blade of death that emerges from nowhere in this terrible environment.

"What do we do now? Stay here and wait for those centaurs to leave? Lei Guang found a stone that looked relatively flat and sat down, running all the way had made him unwilling to move a step again, and he couldn't wait to lie down and sleep now, although the undead did not have the so-called muscle fatigue, but the soul exhaustion was more intense than that of other races.

Yu Bin shook his head, although those centaurs are unlikely to venture into the cave to hunt them down, they will not give up their reward because of this, they will definitely leave enough manpower to watch this exit, this may last for a week, or even longer, Yu Bin doesn't want to be a wild man here for a week!

"Let's find another exit!" There are many exits to the Wailing Cave, and it is impossible for the centaurs to block every exit, the only problem is that if they want to find other exits, they must enter the underground cavern, and the beasts that live there do not want to be disturbed by Yu Bin and them, and they may also run into those fanged druids.

But this is an unknown after all, and Yu Bin thinks this is a method worth trying.

After a brief break, the four of them began to continue deeper.

The deeper they went, the higher the height of the cave, the large and small stalactites hung down from the top wall, and even the milky white liquid could be seen dripping along the stalactites, and the sound of the flow of groundwater echoed in their ears.

"It's a terrible environment here!" Alan used his dagger to pluck away a clump of cave thorn ferns, one of the most common plants in the wailing caves, their massive roots connected to each other, allowing them to absorb every drop of nutrients and groundwater from the rock. "Speaking of which, why is this called the Wailing Cave?"

"Meaning intruders like us will wail?" Keldila chuckled and picked up, the only way to dispel the fear that came from the bottom of her heart was to keep talking in this silent and dark environment.

"No, it's called that for a simple reason, you'll soon find out." Yu Bin glanced at the surrounding environment, found a corner that looked more suitable, and hid in by himself, leaving three guys who looked at each other, "Friendly reminder, find a place to hide as soon as possible, so as not to be blown away!" ”

"Haha, you say blow away? It's not on the sea, could there be a tornado? Lei Guang held the torch and pouted and smiled, feeling that Yu Bin must be too nervous, this is an underground cave, how can there be a strong wind that will blow people away!

Alan and Keldila glanced at each other, spread their legs and ran behind the two stalactites, although it was not as sheltered from the wind as the corner where Yu Bin was hiding, but at least there was a shield to allow them to resist.

"Well, you're not here for real, are you?" Lei Guang looked at the three companions with a black line, very angry at their unrighteous actions.

However, before he could continue complaining, a huge voice came from the depths of the cave, a low wail as if countless evil spirits were shouting at the same time, which could almost make people scared to death!

The entire cavern turned into a huge wall of echoes, and countless stalactites reflected the sound continuously, and Alan felt that her ears were almost shattered by this huge sound.

A few seconds later, a fierce wind blew from the depths of the cavern, and the force of the wind slammed fist-sized stones into the stalactites where they were hiding, making a sound like bullets entering their bodies.

"Holy!" Poor Thunder only had time to let out a curse before the wind blew it away, slammed it on a stalactite, and then crackled like a target by countless stones.

The wind came and went as fast as it came, lasting less than five seconds before it quickly weakened and finally disappeared, and the great wail was long gone, and everything was silent again, as if the terrible scene had never happened.

Yu Bin walked out of the hideout and saw that Alan and Keldila were sorting out their equipment, most of the stones were blocked by stalactites, but many of them still fell on their bodies, leaving a lot of smudges and marks.

The most miserable thing is Lei Guang, this guy looks like he has been disfigured, not only is his body full of pits, but even the dead man's face is embedded with large and small gravel, if it weren't for the fact that this wind didn't last long, Yu Bin absolutely believed that this guy was likely to die because of this.

"You, are you still brothers? Just look at me unlucky? Lei Guang, who shook his legs and stood up with stalactites, shouted angrily, "I was careless in making friends!" Careless in making friends!! ”

Yu Bin spread his hands: "I reminded you!" ”

Alan and Keldila stepped forward without hesitation to help Lei Guang dig out the stones on his body, under the acceleration of the wind, these stones were not much worse than arrows, many of them got into Lei Guang's body, and his mage robe was pierced through several holes: "You are standing there so big, we don't have time to pull you back!" ”

Ignoring the thunder light that was crying over there with a handful of snot and tears, Yu Bin raised the torch again, as for the thunder light, he didn't know where it was blown by the wind: "See, this is the reason why it is called the Wailing Cave!" There are many intermittent eruptions of fountains in the deep underground caverns, and each eruption brings a large amount of water vapor, squeezing the surrounding air and leaking out of the cave's exit, eventually causing this sudden violent wind. ”

"What's the trick to finding out in advance? I see you hid early! Alan was very observant, so he quickly had his own explanation for Bin's unpredictable and prophetic response.

"Look at the plants around you, in addition to the gravel brought by the strong winds, they also bring a lot of moisture, which is an important source of water for those plants, and when you see the leaves relaxing, you immediately find a safe place to hide. The wind just now was quite small, otherwise I wouldn't have been unlucky to watch the thunder, and I would have to make this guy suffer a little, and he would have a long memory! ”

Lei Guang, who was plucking the stone from his face, couldn't help but shiver, the gust of wind just now turned out to be small! Oh, my God! What would happen if the wind was the most violent?

"Look at those stalactites!" Yu Bin raised the torch and walked forward, "The smoother the windward side, the harder the texture of the stalactite, and the next time you really can't find a suitable hiding place, you can find the smoothest stalactites around, at least you can guarantee survival." Don't blame me for not telling you in advance, you have to experience a lot of things to be impressed, don't think of the world as one of those boring online games! ”

Pack up your mood and get back on the road, after the catastrophe just now, even the most chattering Lei Guang consciously closed his mouth, holding a torch to carefully observe the surrounding situation, especially those ferns, for fear of being attacked by the wind again.

Suddenly, Yu Bin stopped, inserted the torch in his hand into the groove of a stalactite beside him, and drew the short sword at his waist, where the length of the rune sword would bind Yu Bin's hands and feet.

The three of Alan, who had already reminded them of their fears, immediately followed suit, put down their torches and began to be on guard.

"Lei Guang and Keldila find a place to hide, pay attention to the surroundings, there are often some small snakes here, which are very poisonous, and if they are bitten, they will drink the antidote!" Yu Bin said loudly, when he decided to come to the barren land, he prepared a lot of antidotes and distributed them to everyone, "Alan, go over there to investigate after sneaking." ”

Yu Bin pointed in another direction. Alan, whose face had changed a few times, nodded without hesitation, and his figure gradually disappeared, and finally only a faint and blurry figure remained, barely visible against the black background.

Soon, there was a sound of tapping from ahead, and it sounded like several feet were on the ground. There was also the sound of something hard scraping the ground.

Yu Bin's brows furrowed, it was the cave velociraptors, not those fanged druids, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. Although Yu Bin felt that just this level of depth would not encounter those fanged druids, the world of Entagri was not an online game, and God knew if those guys would leave the original place on a whim to take a look.

After a while, two cave velociraptors appeared in Yu Bin's field of vision, seemingly attracted by the firelight here. From the dull skin and flat skull, it is clear that the two cave velociraptors were not part of a group of velociraptors, and that they probably lived in this cave.

The environment in the Wailing Cave is very unfriendly to carnivores like velociraptors, and the scarce food makes it difficult for them to develop into large numbers, but in order to hunt those cave crocodiles with thick skin and poisonous wind snakes, the number of the population cannot be too small, in order to ensure the reproduction of the group, the velociraptors who go out to hunt are the most powerful individuals in the group, only in this way can they ensure the smooth growth of the young in the group and continue to protect the safety of the group.

The two velociraptors in front of them, one large and one small, with a dull skin on their bodies and no bony crown on their heads, were obviously two losers who were expelled by the group, perhaps because of injuries or because they were trying to challenge the position of the leader of the group.

Alan slowly emerged from the darkness: "I've scouted over there, but there is no movement, it seems that only these two are attracted by the firelight!" ”

"I'll deal with the big one, and you will deal with the small one!" Alan's intelligence made Yu Bin make a decision, since there were no other enemies, then the two velociraptors in front of him happened to be their prey.

The velociraptor who followed the firelight also found the figures of Yu Bin and Alan, they let out a roar at the two prey they had never seen, and rushed towards Yu Bin with their legs open, inside the thick mouth, the sharp teeth were shining cold under the light of the fire, their eyes were full of madness, their thick lower limbs stepped on the ground and made heavy footsteps, their hard claws scraped the ground, and a spark appeared from time to time.

Yu Bin took a step towards the left front, holding the short sword horizontally in his right hand, estimating the distance between himself and the velociraptor , when the opponent approached less than two meters, Yu Bin jumped to the right sharply, grazing the velociraptor body to avoid the opponent's collision.

The velociraptor who didn't have time to brake suddenly crashed into a stalactite, and it turned out that Yu Bin's step just now was to cover the rock behind him. The attack launched with all his strength made the velociraptor a little dizzy for a while, and the stalactites that could hold on in the wind were definitely harder than the velociraptor skull, and it was obviously not something that this stupid beast could crush.

Taking advantage of the opponent's temporary inability to attack, Yu Bin pounced, and the short sword in his hand accurately pierced the chest of the velociraptor with precision, cut through the muscles inside, passed through the gap between the ribs, and inserted it into the heart.

The fatal attack made the velociraptor let out a wail, and its big head shook violently, trying to force Yu Bin to retreat, but a miserable green undead shield frustrated his plan, and Yu Bin also seized this short time to violently stir the short sword in his hand, expanding the raptor's injury.

With a sudden pull of his hand, the short sword that was almost completely rooted in was pulled out by Yu Bin, and the next moment, Yu Bin rolled back without hesitation, dodging the tail sweep and claw attack of this velociraptor dragon. The velociraptor with a punctured heart was unable to launch any further attack, and fell to the ground with a wail, and the wound on his chest was filled with large strands of bright red blood, which soon caused the beast to die from excessive blood loss.
