Chapter 108: Underground Labyrinth Net
After the price was good, I began to wait at the mouth of the cave with the little guy.|Why wait? Don't we need to clear the mouth of the cave that has collapsed and blocked?
My guardian claw temporarily served as an excavator, who told this guy to be good at big holes! After a while, the hole was cleared, and it could be seen that it was not only a small area outside that had collapsed, but the situation inside was also very bad, but compared to the hole, the inside was barely passable. After retracting the claws, I began to push into the cave.
For me, who has dark vision, the pitch-black hole** is not a problem, the more troublesome thing is the rubble and narrow cave walls, and I have to drill through this kind of thing to continue deeper. It took us more than half an hour and we only advanced less than 300 meters, which is really unbearable.
"How deep is this place?"
"I don't know. I've never been in this place before, so it's the first time I've seen it, just like you! The little guy's explanation made me very helpless, so I could only shut up and continue to grope forward.
Thanks to the gloves in my dragon suit, I would have to be exhausted to death in a place like this, and I would have to get torn through the edges and corners of the broken rocks. In comparison, armor like the Demon Dragon suit is much cheaper, at least I can smash everything in my way, and even a bump won't cause much damage to the armor.
After continuing to advance for about 30 meters, the cave ** became more wide, at least now there is no need to crawl, as long as you bend a little bit to walk normally. Because of the improvement of the road, our speed of progress has increased significantly. After another half an hour, we ran through the nearly two-kilometer-long tunnel in one go, and suddenly a relatively wide area appeared in front of us.
"Wow! It's beautiful! "Although the little guy is a phantom, he is similar to a human in aesthetics.
In front of me is a large cavern about the size of a small airfield, but it's not all rocky. The road under our feet has become a lot of forks, like the veins of the leaves, extending forward regularly and irregularly, and there is clear water between the road and the road, but I don't know why these waters are glowing with emerald green light, and the whole cave ** is like a dream, very beautiful.
"How can there be water here?"
"Probably an underground river." The little guy guessed, "Isn't there a lake outside our forest?" I wonder if these two places are connected to the ground. ”
I nodded. Then he looked at the more than thirty holes across from us and asked, "What now?" Do you have a way to be sure that taking a strip is the right way to go? ”
The little one immediately shook his head like a rattle. "I'm an illusion, not a seeker. Finding your way is not my forte. ”
"Really. You have to rely on yourself at the critical moment! I stretched out my hand. A small black hole unfolded in front of me. A large number of ghost beetles swarmed out and scattered towards the various holes**. I turned to the little guy and said, "Now I'm waiting for news here!" We'll know the general structure of this place in a moment. ”
The Ghost Bug Pathfinder method is very simple. Because they keep in touch with me. So we can roughly determine the position of the other party through guò perception. In this way, after these little guys leave, my immobile center becomes the base coordinates. Then, according to their route, I can quickly build a 3D model of the hole in my brain. If any bug hits a dead end, it's the end of the road. Then, when all the bugs have detected the route, I will have a map of the entire cave. Because the number of bugs is staggering. So even if there are more forks in the road, I can divide the land. It's like I went through every fork in the road.
After waiting in place for a short time, a few ghost bugs found a dead end. And then there were three groups that actually separated and merged together. Other units continue to explore downwards. After a while, most of the insects were dead. And the rest of the seven bugs that didn't encounter a dead end actually went around the same road. I followed the memories left in my brain to enter the shortest route. And then we quickly got to that huge confluence point.
This place is a hole that is a little bigger than the previous one**, but it's not as beautiful as the previous one. The huge hole is circular and has a pool in the center that occupies nearly a third of the area. The dark green water of the pool is very strangely illuminated by a fluorescent plant growing on the roof of the cave, and there are many forks in the perimeter of this pool, some of which are the way we came, and some of which we don't know where they lead. I still sent the bugs out to find the way as before, and I waited here with the little guy, but the bugs didn't go far before something happened on my side.
I was talking with the little guy about how to deal with the strongest phantom after seeing the strongest phantom for a while, when suddenly I heard a loud bang next to me, and more than a dozen water columns exploded in the pool. Since this is such a big place, neither me nor the little guy ran away, and we all poured it through, but fortunately, the little guy can be atomized and then returned
I fell, because I was wearing armor, and I was impervious to water.
"Damn, what is this?" Although we were startled by the water, we quickly noticed the monster in the pool. It was a monster I'd never seen before, about the size of a large villa, with a flat and round body like the body of a crab, but there were no arthropods underneath it, but dozens of thick tentacles grew underneath. This thing is dark green all over, the surface is pitted and looks extremely disgusting, and the whole body has a dense circle of small mouths and a huge large mouth, all of which have teeth, and all of them are extremely sharp.
As soon as the disgusting monster came out, it frantically rolled towards us with its tentacles, and the little guy reacted quickly enough to turn directly into a cloud of fog. The monster's tentacles swept back and forth over him a few times, unable to catch him, and eventually all rolled towards me.
"Half a moon."
I thought that those tentacles would be cut into pieces by the flying Half Moon, but I didn't expect those tentacles to turn around in mid-air and jump up to the top of the cave. Apparently this guy noticed Half Moon and knew that he would be hurt by this thing, so he changed his strategy. However, this guy doesn't seem to have an eye-like organ, and presumably uses vibrations and the like to find targets. Just now that guy found out about my half moon changed his strategy, and this guy is also very cunning, he didn't attack me but directly used his tentacles to slam the roof of the cave, and the rock on the roof of the cave fell like rain. Although Half Moon is extremely sharp, it is absolutely impossible to fly again when it is directly hit by a large rock, and the result is that Half Moon who protected me is smashed under the stone.
After discovering that the obstacle disappeared, the monster immediately rolled the tentacles again, and as soon as I lowered my head and dodged one of the tentacles, I jumped on the spot, rolled in the air three hundred and sixty degrees, and then landed again and dodged the other three tentacles. The monster immediately summoned more tentacles to roll over, but this time he was not so lucky.
"Tanks."
With a bang, the huge body of the tank smashed into the hole, and the tentacles of the monster quickly wrapped around the tank's body, but the tank was covered in hard armor, and a mollusk like this monster couldn't do anything about him. Tank, who didn't hate these disgusting things like I did, just shoved the tentacles in his mouth with his feeding forelegs and ate them. The monster didn't expect to encounter such a ruthless one, and actually began to devour his body directly, so frightened that he hurriedly hid back, but unfortunately the tentacle was dragged by the tank and couldn't pull it back, and at this time, the ghost beetles I expelled before also crawled back. I saw a sea of black and oppressive insects pounce on the monster, and the monster completely disappeared in front of our eyes in a rustling sound.
"Your pet is terrible!" The little one floated back to me and said, "If you keep letting them out like this, we can imitate this kind of thing in the future." ”
"Although these little guys are strong, they are group strength, and they are all weak individually, so you'd better not be their good. Otherwise, it would be a pity to be trampled to death. ”
"I'm just talking! By the way, have you found your way? ”
"Yes, but we're going to go the other way first."
"Why?"
"Here's why." Ten minutes later, he pointed to a large piece of shiny black crystal and answered the question of the little guy ten minutes ago.
I just wanted the ghost bugs to help me find my way, but they actually found me a natural black crystal mine. Although the scope of this mine is small, the quality is surprisingly high. Isinger's defense uses a giant magic array, and now it needs a large piece of high-quality black crystal as an energy conversion device, but I didn't expect to find it here.
"These things are working for you?" The little ones are special creatures, and while these dark crystals are like a meal to the undead creatures, they are like trash to them.
I briefly explained the purpose of this thing to the little guy, and then spread the gate of the earth directly in the mining area, so that this guy is really, from the hole to here, we have walked at least seven or eight kilometers deep, and we haven't reached the end, and I don't know what this guy thinks, he actually dug such a deep hole.
The next few hours were spent with the little one in this constant exploration and progress, and we ran nearly 30 kilometers before finally finding the clue to the illusion. Now in front of us is an ordinary passage, the difference is that the picture of this passage will flicker twice from time to time, obviously this is an unstable dìng illusion, and this means that the illusion lives in it. The little one and I looked at each other and stepped in together.
