69 - The Shadow in the Cave

"Hey~!! Shout~~!!. Weir kicked backwards and pushed the door forward with both hands. Can't push it away. ”

"Huh~ Could it be some switch?" Ollie carried two torches behind Will, in the small stone cave, illuminating the surrounding stone walls.

Looking back at the direction where the darkness came, the cave was a little damp and cold.

"Huh~" Still couldn't push, Weier took two steps back, waved his hand to his side, and turned his sour wrist.

While looking at the stone gate in front of you.

The contrast between the two stone slabs and the surrounding uneven stone walls is striking, and although both are a little rough, the stone gate is relatively smooth.

Weir looked around the stone door.

It was so tightly knit that some of it was embedded in the surrounding stones.

"If this thing can be opened, it must be opened inside." Weir affirmed.

"Whew~ We can look for the switch." Ollie reminded again.

"Huh?" Wiel looked back at Ollie, "Well, you have a point, give me a hand." ”

As he spoke, he retrieved a torch from Ollie's hand.

"Let's go to both sides and see if there's anything special on the walls around us." The knock behind the door was still heard.

If you get used to it, you won't be surprised.

I just think that behind this stone gate, there should be something hitting regularly.

But what would be in such a place? Could it be that it is still a building inside? Or is there something that resembles a water tidal current?

Don't think about it, first find a way to open the stone door is the most important thing.

After all, the vein should be in it.

Ver walked to the side, the two torches parting heads, the light splitting into two.

It wasn't long before Wille walked under the stone wall beside him, and he reached out and fumbled for a glimmer of light.

As soon as he took two steps, Ver suddenly stopped.

"Why am I looking for this? Four not four sprinkles? Veel slapped his head and said silently in his heart, "Bonfire!" ”

Then cast the phantom in front of him in the darkness not far away, interrupting the magic.

A bright fire lit up not far from the stone gate.

The light illuminated all the corners of the cavern, and stunned Ollie, who was fumbling with a torch in the distance.

"There's light!" Ollie turned around and saw that Vere was extinguishing the torch in his hand. Then came the voice of Wiel.

"Ollie! I lit a fire, so I didn't have to touch the dark. ”

"Wow~ It's much better to have light, it's much easier to find." Giving Vere an encouraging look in return, Ollie began to look around in general.

Sure enough, there were some discoveries.

The stone gate, in fact, is not embedded in the stone wall, but is itself a door of a stone building, and the upper part of the stone building is on a high place.

The stone walls were mottled in scattered rocks at the top of the cave, one was dirt and the other was walls, and it felt like the building had been hammered into the ground by life.

"There's nothing here. Whew"

"It's the same here, well~ It's unlikely to be, it looks like this should be a natural cave." Ver and Ollie returned to the front of the stone door, and Vermo rubbed his chin and looked at the door in front of him.

Suddenly, one hand clenched his fist and made a crisp sound into the palm of the other.

"That's right! Why should I keep trying to find a switch to open the door? ”

"So what does the chief want to do? Do you want to smash it open? ”

"yes, it's smashing open."

Ollie's ears twitched, "How are you going to smash this door open?" ”

"Smash it~ Use a hammer, use a head, it's okay, smash, I don't believe it can't be smashed."

"But what's the use of smashing open this door? Whew~ Sir, there seems to be a building behind this, so where should we find our gold mine? ”

"If there's just a stone wall behind it or there's still a trace of gold, you might as well find it."

"What if there's a ruin behind here?"

"Then smash it through with a stone pickaxe," Will glanced at the system in front of him, and could only move an inch without a gold mine. There's no way, if you can't use ingenuity, then use stupid methods.

"Let's discuss how to knock it out first, otherwise it will be easy to knock this place out." Wiel used the system to make two hammers, one of which was handed to Ollie.

"Huh? ~Why do you use a hammer? Isn't it faster to use it? ”

Weir gave Ollie a handful, "Then you can do it." Then he muttered, "How can there be a ...... faster than a hammer to dismantle the house?"

With a horizontal swing, Wille picked up the sledgehammer and smashed it towards the door.

"Huh? ~It's not about discussing......" Ollie was stunned in place with a stone hammer in one hand and a stone pickaxe in the other. Watch as Weir smashes against the stone door.

Boom!

With a thud, the stone hammer slammed into the stone door, shaking off the dirt and stones on it.

Not far behind Wiel, a stone pillar clattered! Crash! slammed into the ground.

"I'll go, why is it so hard!" Wer staggered back and took a few steps back, unlike a stone hammer in the valley, which required a long swing and beating, but not so much effort. At the very least, there is no such great anti-seismic force.

It's as if the stone hammer in your hand is just an ordinary stone hammer without any magical effect.

Ver frowned, set up a wooden wall next to it, and smashed it with a stone hammer, poof! The wooden wall cracked and destroyed. The stone hammer came to a steady stop in the striking position.

"It seems that it is this stone gate that has neutralized the effect of the system." Wiel analyzed.

"Wow~ It's dangerous, sir." Ollie patted the dust off his body and complained. "We've got to be careful."

The two discussed for a while, and then cracked with a stone pickaxe and a stone hammer, but Shimen was tenacious and unmoved by the attack of the two, but only dropped a lot of stone chips.

The two who were busy didn't notice.

Behind them, beneath the shattered stone berevel, the shadow of a black hand protruded from the dark shadows of the dark stone corridor.

Slowly, he reached for the bonfire behind the two of them.

The black one crept up to the campfire, and the slender shadows of his fingers closed and scratched.

Call! The bonfire is darkened!

Bang~ The movements of the two stopped, and they looked back at the bonfire, the flames dimmed, and only the echo of the knock echoed in the cave.

The sound gradually stopped, and the firelight dimmed, making everything around them less clear.

"What happened?" Will asked.

"Shhhhhhhh

——————

Swish!

A dark shadow flashed from the edge of the firelight, and both men saw it.

At the same time, you don't have to listen carefully, the weird laughter of "hiss~hehehehe~" came from all directions.

The darkness around him seemed to be getting thicker and thicker.

"It's a shadow monster! Damn it! How could there be that thing here. Wer suddenly looked at the campfire. Let's go to the campfire! ”

With that, Ollie, who was in doubt, ran towards the light of the campfire.

Just left the shadows.

Where Ollie had been standing, several strange hands of dark shadows scratched through it.

At the edge of the fire, stop and retract.

There is no way for the strange hand in the shadow to get into the light of the campfire.

Wiel added a few pieces of wood to the campfire to make the flame burn a little brighter, and the flame did grow, but the light did not spread any more.

Beyond the surrounding firelight, there were countless black strange hands shuttling.

Ver pulled out his spear and torch, and told Ollie to keep an eye on the fire, carefully guarding his surroundings.

"Hiss~heyhehe~"

The voice came from one place, but it was erratic.

The voices became more and more frequent, and in front of him, Vere felt that something was about to emerge from the darkness.

Carefully guarding the dark shadows, Wei Er noticed that in the direction of the corridor facing the stone gate, a black smoke different from the surrounding area slowly formed.

It was a strange shape crawling on the ground, like a cow, like a trilobite, like a mop that was reversed.

It slowly emerged from the shadows, and the surrounding hand-like shadows gathered towards the object.

A monster of dark shadows slowly paced into the edge of the firelight.

"Hiss ~ Roar !!"

Wer raised his head unconsciously, and the black shadow's gaping mouth was as tall as two of himself.

The monster roared.

Ver tightened his grip on his spear.

Like a centipede, the foot made up of countless slender hands densely packed with countless hands pounded back and forth, allowing the black shadow to crawl forward.

Wiel took a half-step back, only to find that there was no way back.

"You have to be within the range of the fire...... "You can't go out, there are still many shadow hands waiting to tear you apart in the dark."

A drop of cold sweat fell from Wiel's head, and he suddenly thought that before himself, he couldn't stab the shadow monster, and he could only use magic.

But I don't have magic!

What to do? Ver flipped the torch in his hand and threw it at the creeping shadow!

Sou!

The torch arced and struck towards the shadow. The flame on the torch is slightly smaller.

Burst!

The flames of the torch smashed into the Shadow Monster, and the monster opened its mouth and engulfed the Torch. A few wisps of black smoke flew out of it, but more black hand shadows filled in from the darkness.

Ver kept making torches and throwing them at the shadows.

Couldn't stop it!

The huge black shadow walked forward unhurriedly, and Ver could only step backwards.

Click! "Sir! Whew~"

Vere didn't look back, but he knew he had retreated to the campfire.

The monsters in front of them are still approaching step by step, this is forcing them to their death!

“MD! Fight! With his spear in hand, Ver took two steps forward and stabbed at the monster.

Just as Wille stepped forward, he suddenly felt like a spirit in his heart, and the movements of his hands suddenly became proficient.

The clumsy thrust suddenly became sharp and fast.

The stone tip of the spear, reflecting the light of the flames, flashed a light.

When the hand that had already stretched out on the black shadow did not react, it stabbed into the black shadow's body.

"Roar! ~~”

The black shadow seemed to be in pain, and its mouth grew long, and even cracked its own body.

Turned into countless black shadows, and retreated far in the direction of darkness.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Ollie stood behind Will, and found that on the back of Wille's hand, a black line was faintly glowing black.

"Great, this shadow, I can hurt it!"

Ver steadied the spear in his hand, gritted his teeth, and trotted towards the shadow.

The dark shadow was taking shape, its large open mouth like a demonstration, and the mouth of sharp black shadow teeth and disgusting dense arms was facing the direction of Veil.

As Ver approached, the mouth stretched forward sharply, and it bit down towards Vere.

"Not good!" Veel felt like he couldn't hide.

But suddenly, the body seemed to be very natural, a buckle step, stepping on the ground, turning, and sideways.

The shadow's fangs slashed across the tip of Will's nose, and the tips of the hair fluttered up vanished after the shadow swept away.

The strength of the black shadow's bite did not stop, and as soon as Wei Er retracted violently, the spear in his hand stabbed out!

Ollie watched from behind with a suffocating breath, thinking that the chief was afraid that he was going to be injured, but in the flash of lightning, Ver flashed to the monster's side.

The spear pierced the black shadow.

Wiel felt like it was stuck in a ball of cotton.

But the shadow emitted a lot of black smoke. With a bang, it dispersed into smoke again.

Ollie nervously watched the fight in front of him, and couldn't help but take a few steps forward, with a torch in his hand, and went to help.

Suddenly, there was a slight darkness in front of him, and Ollie was awake! The hairs on his body stood on end, and he jumped far to the side in search of animal instinct.

The tip of his tail was bitten off by a black shadow that suddenly appeared next to him.

"Whew~! Tail! ~”

Sou! A spear pierced the space, and Ver threw it.

The spear grazed between Ollie and the shadow's outstretched hand, scattering the shadow that was clutching at Ollie.

Without two breaths, Ver took out another spear, and the two ran together, meeting together.

The monster seemed to be furious, opened its mouth wide and roared, and was about to throw itself at the campfire.

But the closer you get to the fire, the slower the shadow becomes!

Ver got to the monster before the shadow reached the campfire.

Many hands stretched out from the monster's body, and Weir's figure flickered, swaying left and right, and all of them avoided the black shadow's scratching.

With a sharp blow, Ver stabbed his spear into the monster's body.

There was a dazzling white light on the back of the hand!

Burst!

All of a sudden, all the shadows vanished.

Wiel stood there.

Ollie noticed that the fire seemed to be shining farther away.

It looked back nervously, only to find that it could already see the surrounding stone walls, and the crackling sound of the campfire was heard again.

Two rays of black light flowed into Veil's hands.

Puff~

Ollie looked at the man with the spear in front of him and threw himself to the ground. And the door, which had been closed, was also opened.
