Chapter 7: The Cave Monster
"Yikes! You've stepped on my tail! Daji kicked Bai viciously, "It hurts! ”
"Everyone be careful, the view here is too bad, Zhuang Zhou pay attention to vigilance, is there really no enemy nearby?" Shiro ignored Daji's kicking of his own feet and carefully scouted inside the cave.
The cave has a radius of 20 meters and slopes into the ground. The members of the Silver 6 team carefully explored the slope of the cave.
"There are no enemies nearby." Zhuang Zhou held his breath for a while, "But the soil and rock formations have become soft, let's not go too deep, we won't be able to get out if we are buried alive." ”
"Spread out! Spread out the formation! "The squadron leader of the 9th Corps was also interested in this big hole. The large hole that allows the golem to pass silently underground, is too difficult to deal with if it is used to siege the city.
More than 100 soldiers with torches inspected the surrounding sand and rock walls.
"It's like a hole dug by a snake that's always been very big." Jing Ke looked up at the sloping roof of the cave, "Have you ever dug a snake hole?" I dug it when I was a kid, and the snake meat was delicious. ”
"But there are also a lot of bacteria and bugs, do you remember to wash them up?" Bai smiled and looked at his teammates.
"Those little things want to murder my sister, it's still thousands of years away."
"I don't know where it leads here." Cheng Yanjin stood at the front and shook the torch, and the dark cave was pitch black and there was no bottom in sight.
"Lieutenant Rider!" The herald ran down from above, and without stepping on a solid foot, he rolled down with a clatter.
Shiroi held the soldier up. "Thank you, thank you!" The herald patted his knee and stood up, "Headquarters order, Silver Team 6 to stand by and join up with the support team to explore the cave. ”
"What!"
"What if this place collapses!"
"The support team will carry a directional teleportation talisman, which can be teleported to Qinzhou City in the event of a landslide." The herald saw that they all jumped up and hurriedly added a sentence.
"That's pretty much it."
The support team arrived quickly, and then in the dim light of the fire, the Silver 6 team was surprised to see the appearance of the reinforcements.
Silver Team 3!
Silver Team 3 is also a well-known team, and like Silver Team 6, it is composed of heroes who are not lower than Silver rank.
According to convention, silver-tier heroes will enter the command level or central service after being promoted to the gold tier, and rarely appear directly in first-line small tasks.
But the Silver 3 team has a famous hero - Master Bodhidharma. This strong warrior can not fall behind even when facing a powerhouse of the level of the Eight Kings.
"Master Bodhidharma!" The members of the Silver 6 team saluted respectfully.
"I'm Lieutenant Li Bai." Bai took a step forward, "I didn't expect it to be a famous big man like you." These are Zhuang Jiyi and Jing Duwei, Cheng Baifu and Da Prosecutor. ”
Master Bodhidharma was dressed in a golden robe, carrying a string of prayer beads, and was shirtless without carrying a single weapon.
"Fortunately." Bodhidharma saluted the five of them, and several of his teammates also came up to greet them.
They are Zhao Yun, a silver-armored spear knight with a spear, Bright Flame Shiranui Dance with a folding fan, Luna, the goddess of the moon, who is as beautiful as the moon, and ...... And......
"Where's the other one?" Shiro asked curiously.
"Here! You stupid big guy! Bai suddenly felt that something had bitten him, and hurriedly looked down, only to see a small fluffy blue animal lying at his feet.
"Lord Mengqi! Disrespectful. ”
The Monkie roam the vicinity of the Land of Origin. They are free to move through their dreams and feed on the nightmares of travelers. "There's a bubbly and bold guy in it who yearns for the Land of Origin. There are many people living there, which means many, many delicious nightmares. It wanted to eat more nightmares, it wanted to visit more dreams, so it set out for the place of origin without hesitation.
When he stayed in the magnificent city of New Chang'an, Master Bodhidharma found him to go on an adventure together.
Many people claim to have met Mengqi, but the Mengqi they describe is always very different. Some people say that the dream he met was like a playful child, running around, and it was extremely cute. It is also said that the Mengqi he met was nine feet long, with strange powers, and was more fierce than any beast.
Yes, all they saw was Mengqi. But they don't know the wonders of nightmares.
Mengqi will transform the engulfing nightmare into a part of himself. As his size grew, his strength and defense continued to improve, and Mengqi gradually became a giant-like existence, with infinite strength and invulnerability. Of course, nightmares are not only a delicious meal for dreams, but also a weapon against enemies. Sometimes, Mengqi will use the nightmares stored in his body as a weapon to throw at his enemies, and the nightmares will continue to eat away at the lives of his enemies. As the Nightmare shrinks, it reverts to a dexterous elf, shuttling quickly and making enemies elusive.
Many people here are familiar with each other, Zhuang Zhou and Luna have been friends for many years, and have partnered on the battlefield many times. When butterflies flutter around the bright crescent moon, everyone suspects that their relationship is more than just friends.
I don't know how to dress like Jing Ke, just wearing a red short coat, tied with a white ribbon, showing off her plump breasts and slender legs without hesitation. As a flame mage, beautiful small fireballs appear around her from time to time, making people feel even hotter.
Zhao Yun was the best spearman under the command of the Han King, and his lightning-fast thrust could penetrate the tyrant with a single blow, and even penetrate the rock, which could be called the strongest piercing of the Silver Rank.
Zhao Yun and Shiranui Dance have both been assistants of Bodhidharma for many years and have rich experience in cooperative operations.
"Headquarters is paying so much attention to this cave." Zhuang Zhou looked around at the strong men gathered here, "Not to mention sending two silver teams, they are all masters who are familiar with each other." ”
"It's not just you." The squadron leader of the 9th Army Corps also walked over, "A total of 200 people from various departments of the 9th Army Corps have come to listen to the dispatch. I just received the order. ”
The Chosen Striker was the elite of the Imperial Army, well-armed, skilled, and experienced in combat, and as resilient as steel on the battlefield.
10 heroes, 200 elite soldiers, a lot of formation.
There was no doubt that everyone present was the only one who looked to the Dharma.
This 10-person team is not simply a combination of five or five, and the tacit cooperation and skill matching between each other can allow them to exert their huge combat potential.
The darkness has no effect on Zhuang Zhou and Luna, who are not only able to move freely on their own, but also give hints to their teammates.
In the event of a surprise attack, Meng Qi, Shiranui Dance, and Daji were able to provide stable control and support, Bai, Zhao Yun, and Jing Ke fought back at the first opportunity, and Cheng Yanjin and Bodhidharma were the mainstays of the team, and they were able to play with ease no matter what kind of enemy they encountered.
This combined team and 200 elite soldiers explored below. Each hero has a teleportation charm, and the Soldiers have a teleportation scroll in their possession of each squad leader, which can be separated from their companions.
The sound of wind echoed in the cave, and from the distant darkness there was a wind blowing, but the endless darkness made it seem as if one was heading towards hell.
I don't know how long I walked along the deep cave, and there was a faint light flickering in front of me, and if you listened closely, you could hear the sound of gurgling water.
"Watch out!" Bodhidharma ordered in a deep voice.
Two teams of soldiers cautiously groped their way through. The first two of them formed a cone with heavy shields, followed by the archers with strong attacks, then the two warriors behind them with spears, and finally two sword and shield men. Such a seven-man squad can quickly form a defensive formation even if it is attacked by an enemy, and when it encounters a local scout, it can shoot the strong archers in the team.
These soldiers behaved moderately, and their temperament was calm and strong, and Bai was quite admired when he saw it in the back, and he deserved to be the elite of the army.
The team followed 50 meters behind the two teams, and in case of an accident, Zhuang Zhou would immediately come to the rescue.
The light in the cave became brighter and brighter, and finally it flickered on the rock wall like a starry sky, and the four sides of the cave receded backwards, and Shiro found that everyone had entered a huge underground cavern.
The twinkling starlight was the moss and fungi of the earth, emitting a silver and white shimmer, and it looked like stars from afar. The cave is spacious, with pillar-like stalactites and a shallow stream flowing through it, making a pleasant sound of water.
There is a beautiful fluorescent floating on the water of the stream, and small insects that resemble fireflies are roaming.
On the top of the cave, you can still faintly see a number of short stalactites.
"This is the entrance to the crypt somewhere." Zhuang Zhou whispered: "Although it seems to be a strange cave blessed land, it is very likely that it has been occupied by powerful creatures underground. ”
"Something huge passed by here not too long ago." Luna and Jing Ke are both hunters who are good at tracking, and they immediately spot the problem on the ground.
"How do you see that?" Daji looked at the ground curiously, and Mengqi on the side also said that he couldn't understand, "This ground is quite flat." ”
"You will know it from a high place."
When Mengqi heard this, he floated into the air.
"Wow!"
"What do you see?" Daji asked.
"Something crawled over the ground, pushing dirt and stones to both sides. This thing's body is very wide, so the ground in front of you looks quite flat. ”
"It's only forty meters wide." Jing Ke scanned the terrain on both sides.
"Yes, the same width as the hole."
After Bai carefully inspected the ground, he turned around and said to Master Bodhidharma with a calm face: "The footsteps of the demon puppet are heavy, and the reason why we have found nothing should be on this creature that is forty meters wide. I speculate that it was a creeping creature like an earthworm or a snake that walked through the ground that dug the previous hole, and the golem was sent out by it. ”
"It makes sense." Master Bodhidharma nodded, "In this way, the defense of various places will become extremely difficult. Neither the walls nor the moats could stop such a powerful creature. But I have a doubt, with such a trump card in hand, why not sneak attack more important places? ”
"What the master said is very true, although we haven't figured out the characteristics of these creatures yet, we can be more or less prepared." Zhao Yun touched the dirt on the ground, "Didn't the demon army bury a rare opportunity for this?" ”
"Unless." Shiro held his chin and thought, "Unless this creature isn't already under the control of the demon army." And where did they come from? I have never seen anything so horrible in Kyushu. ”
