Chapter 238: Kazra's Lair
Haoran stood at the top of a high ground and motioned for Ayaka and the others to stop for a moment, while he continued to scan the wasteland in the distance, looking for possible signs of danger.
The valley was very quiet, dusk was gradually giving way to night, the half-moon peeking out of the dark clouds, and with the help of the dim moonlight, you could vaguely see the skeleton-like bushes stretching their dead branches fingers into the black sky.
He could also see the ancient, deep cave under the opposite hill.
Since Tyrrell fell from heaven like a meteorite, this once lush and beautiful plain has dealt a devastating blow, and Haoran once saw a scene shown in a promotional video at the press conference. It's just that he didn't expect that Diablo was far more bleak than it was shown on the video.
Looking at the cave in the distance, it is like the huge mouth of an ancient fierce beast, revealing the horror of the deep cave.
Lesya reached the top of the mountain at this moment, and she looked at the deep cavern below, and frowned. She pulled out the books that Diccakane had given her from her space, and for days she had been studying the words Kane had left her, and had been wanting to see the Sheep's headquarters for herself.
When she saw Kazra's lair, her delicate cheeks became expressionless, and only those who knew her truly could feel the excitement that lay beneath her seemingly calm face.
Komak placed his camping belongings on the ground and touched Berta on the shoulder. In the twilight, the brute, who was stronger than Comac, had a constant glint of excitement in his eyes.
"This should be the sheep's lair, if the one who led the demon guard before wasn't the Sword Fragment. Then the shards of the sword must be in their lair......"
Haoran stared at Kazira's lair and muttered, "It's approaching night now, and there is not a single sheep-headed man guarding Kazira's lair. Maybe we can sneak in at night and maybe there will be an unexpected reward......"
"That's not wise...... Lesya, who was reading Diccakane's books, suddenly raised her head and said, "Although the sheep-headed people have a slight decrease in their vision at night, like us, it is their lair after all, and it is also mentioned in the books of the wise men of Kane, there are many deadly traps in Kazra's lair, and we have to guard against it...... There are also low-level demons in the vicinity that are still roaming around. Support is possible at any time, and we must be on high alert. ”
"Lesya is right, if we are rushing forward this time. It is likely to be besieged by demons...... If we do it again, we won't necessarily have the luck of the last time! Komak whispered as he set up his camping tent.
Haoran turned to examine his companion's face, and Berta still looked fierce. Comac, on the other hand, was much thinner than before. But his eyes sparkled with a knightly mind. Since the defeat of the Dominating Demon, Berta's opinion of Haoran has changed a lot, although the two still don't talk much, but they won't talk to each other as coldly as before.
"You stay here, don't do anything until you have to......" Haoran turned his head to look at Ayaka, pondered for a moment, and continued: "I'll go down and take a look first, if they are heavily guarded inside, I will postpone it...... If they also have only a few sheep-headed people inside. I'll let you know when the time comes, we'll storm in and grab the shards of the sword! ”
"I ...... I'll go with you! Ayaka's body shuddered. Staring into Haoran's eyes, looking at him worriedly, even the tone of his voice was extremely worried.
"Ayaka, don't worry...... I'm an arcane, but don't forget! What was my original occupation......" Haoran smiled slightly, hugged Ayaka in his arms, and whispered in his ear.
"Hmm......" Ayaka nodded and said with a smile, "Be careful...... Sister waiting for you to come back! ”
"Put your heart in your chest and wait for me to ......" Haoran slapped Ayaka's proud chest with a wicked smile, and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes in Ayaka's coquettish eyes.
Lesya and Ayaka looked down at Haoran, who had already jumped down the hill, and ran away into the trees, disappearing into the shadows. Ayaka knew that Haoran had always been like this, acting like a ghost, and even the moon refused to show his figure!
However, when Lesya saw Haoran's ghost-like figure, her heart trembled! Although Hao Ran is an arcane mage on the surface, whether it is physical fitness or reflection ability, it is by no means comparable to a beginner and middle-level arcane mage.
As for the speed of movement, it was so fast that it frightened her, and Lesya looked at the long-disappeared figure with that mixture of doubt and fear.
"What was his original vocation?" Lesya gently closed Dicakane's book and asked nonchalantly.
"Did you hear that?" Ayaka stood in place and looked into the distance, and asked rhetorically, equally unconcerned.
"If you can't say it, you can assume that you didn't hear it, and I didn't hear anything!" Lesya sighed and asked.
"Then you don't hear it!" Ayaka smiled slightly, and turned to Koumako to go.
And at the top of the hill, only Lesya was left alone, standing in place, looking into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking?
After Haoran left the hill, he shuttled through the shadows at his speed, hiding his form, and silently approached Khazra's lair.
When he came to the entrance of the cave, he took out a map from the space when he found that there was no sheep-headed guard. This map depicts the topography of Kazra's lair in great detail, down to the point where there are traps and where there are dark rooms.
Of course, this map is not Haoran's, he borrowed it from Lesya, and the owner of the map is Dikakane, and the map depicts a traveler named 'Abduhazr'.
Hao Ran spread out the map on a thick and hard tree root that was entrenched on the gravel soil like a big black snake, and when he channeled his spiritual energy into the map, he saw that some of the markings on the map began to glow, showing a three-dimensional diagram of the interior and surroundings of Kazra's lair.
"The same is true for 3D stereoscopic holograms, does it seem that there are some high-tech magic artifacts worth paying attention to in the Diablo world?"
Haoran looked at the detailed markings on the map, although it was not necessarily the slightest change, but he still remembered them. A moment later, the light from the marker, which he had only scratched, took the map into space, and looked at the cave again in the hazy moonlight, his heart beating violently in his chest.
