Chapter Seventy-Two: Ice and Snow Heavens
After entering the passage, Dick realized that he had really underestimated it from the outside just now, and here, there were some cyan stripes on both sides of the stone wall that could actually glow, which was obviously intentional.
What made Dick feel the vicissitudes of life was the paintings on both sides of the stone wall, which depicted towering trees, but Dick knew that these were not big trees at all, but towering man-made buildings, with many unknown plants growing on them, which felt like primeval forests.
These plants are obviously not ordinary vegetation, but rather like terrifying animals that can devour everything, rendering a relatively terrifying scene.
Although there was a certain amount of light, the horror forced Dick to release a ball of light to illuminate it, and continued to walk towards the interior of the passage.
After a turn, the scene on the stone wall changes, and it all changes to some depictions of animals.
Augustine and Jean didn't feel any strange when they saw these animals, but in Dick's eyes, these creatures made Dick very frightened, because the shapes and characteristics of these creatures are very similar to those of the earth, such as wolves, tigers, lions, elephants, leopards, and so on.
Time passed little by little, minute after minute, and Dick spent four hours along a dark, dark, and damp tunnel according to his perception of time, and still did not find an exit.
The three of them were in a semi-enclosed space, and their physical energy was consumed very quickly.
As Jean was resting, she saw a lion-like creature on the stone wall in the dim light. The creature is so lifelike that it distinguishes it from other drawings because it is three-dimensional, with a large piece protruding from the stone wall.
She felt that this stone carving must be unusual, and when she touched it with her hands, it instantly felt wet, and she could feel that this stone carving could move.
Because of the dim light, she stood up, trying to get closer and see better.
Dick looked at the piano and asked, "What's the matter, what's the discovery?" ”
Jean didn't answer in a hurry, but put his ear to the stone wall, and from the stone wall came the sound of rushing water.
Qin said: "Behind this stone wall is actually a dark river, you see that this passage where we are, there are some trickles flowing out, I think this stone beast should be a switch." ”
The three of them observed for a long time for the stone beast, but Qin broke the deadlock and said, "Won't we just twist it and give it a try?" ”
"I'll see it!"
Dick slowly twisted the stone beast, and with a muffled sound, a gap opened between the stone wall and the ground, and a large amount of water spurted out of it, and the eyes of the water flow were very large, like the spray of a high-pressure water gun. The water hit the three of them, instantly knocking them back 3 meters away.
Dick instantly understood the purpose of this passage, and at this moment he wanted to close the carving of this stone beast, but it was impossible to go up, they could only go down with the water.
The three of them stopped struggling, relaxed their bodies, and the few minutes they were carried away by the water were worth the 4 hours they had just walked, of course, it would be better if they didn't get injuries all over their bodies.
There was light in front of me, the water flowed to the end, and finally I saw the entrance to the cave. Fortunately, the distance of the wash was not too long, otherwise the three of them would have been hit to death by the high-pressure water before drowning.
Less than 30 meters from the entrance of the cave, Dick found another identical stone carving, and he was quick to hold his body in place with almost all his strength, and twisted the stone beast after letting go of Augustine and the harp.
In an instant, the heavens and the earth shook, and the originally perfectly integrated stone wall began to appear, the passage slowly closed, and the flow of water stopped.
In the end, everything settled down, and the three of them sat together soaking wet, and at the same time sighed in their hearts, it was really a miracle, in the face of such a danger, even if it was a legendary powerhouse, what could a person who was not attentive would also have no bones.
The passage ended 30 meters away, and the sunlight could already know here, and the three of them adapted to the darkness, and suddenly faced such a light, they didn't dare to look directly, and even had a feeling of being in a different world.
The three of them were exhausted and wanted to rest on the spot for a while.
The delicate nature of the Jean woman came into play at one time, and she told the two of them to be silent, and after a moment she said, "Listen! ”
It turned out that there was a strong explosion outside the cave, because of the narrow entrance of the cave, the sound was already very weak here, but from the vibration that came, it can be judged that the explosion must be very powerful and extraordinary.
The three of them cautiously walked forward immediately, and slowly, the light began to become stronger, and outside the entrance of the cave was actually a clearing of about 100 square meters, but the open space was full of scorched marks, and there were several green smoke floating in the clearing.
At this moment, an explosion was heard in the clearing.
As soon as the explosion ended, a swirling ball of fire appeared in the air, and the more it swirled, the larger it became, and finally the fire burst open, and the flames inside headed towards a young magician with a magic crystal staff in his hand.
The flowing flames, the trajectory of the movement is ethereal and eerie, it really seems to be dancing, and every movement is elusive.
The magician didn't seem to want to dodge, and used all his strength to dance his wand to keep it airtight. Some tiny flames caught fire before they hit him, but the magician was unmoved, allowing it to spread throughout his body.
This fire beast, let's call it a flame beast, it is more than 2 meters tall, the trunk is 5 meters long, the whole body is 8 meters long, the normal state of the body is brown, the combat state is fiery red, and the whole body is covered with energy flames, the maximum temperature is 1000 degrees, ordinary people can't enter the body at all.
To deal with this kind of magical beast, you must use the water magic of the same restraint, if you are not a water mage, when you face this kind of magical beast one-on-one, you will have one word: flee or die.
Of course, if you have to fight, you can use one person as a pinch, and the others can shoot with a long-range crossbow, maybe you have a chance.
"This should be a fire-type demonic beast, that person is obviously also a fire-type magician, so with the same attributes, this fire-type magician is afraid that he is in trouble, if you are him, how should you deal with it?" Augustine asked his only magician friend softly.
Dick replied: "This monster should have grown up here, and it should be very adaptable to the environment here, although the other party is also a fire magician, but it will not be the opponent of this monster." But looking at his appearance, there should be a helper, otherwise he wouldn't be so calm, but ......"
"But what?" Jean asked.
"I can't tell you a little bit, but I just think there's something wrong!" Dick replied.
"I don't know, but my gut tells me that something must be wrong! The whole scene feels very weird! Augustine said.
Dick continued: "I can only give you a rough idea. In all of us, it is basic common sense that fire and water are incompatible. But after we entered this eternal night ruin, we first experienced an extremely hot environment, then an extremely wet and tidal environment, and now it seems to be an extremely hot environment. Isn't that weird? And as you said, how could such a fire-type demonic beast live less than 100 meters away from the water source? Isn't that weirder, isn't it weird? ”
Augustine and Jean reacted at the same time, thinking to themselves, it was indeed so.
There was a loud bang, and the attention of the three of them was refocused on the battle in the clearing.
At this time, the mage didn't seem to react to the situation he was in, and still wandered near the flame beast.
But I have to praise this magician is indeed very agile, the flame beast has almost all the flame attacks for him to dodge, this clearing is miserable, the bombardment is unrecognizable, the scorched range is getting bigger and bigger, gradually, not only is there not much place for the magician to hide, but the people who were originally hiding in ambush can't hide, and a group of people hiding in the east is very embarrassing.
These people who were burned by the flames should not be in a group from the perspective of their clothing, and they can be divided into 2 factions. One faction continued to hide and wait for an opportunity, while the other faction laughed at their greed for life and fear of death, and wanted to come out and face the flame beast head-on.
At the moment when the mage paused, the huge body of the flame beast had already approached the mage. The magician had no choice but to use his magic power to summon a two-meter-thick wall of fire in front of his body. The mage himself knew that if he fought in close combat, he was far from being the opponent of this flame beast, and he didn't hesitate at all, he just ran away, saving his life.
The people on the ground lost the control of the magician, and they couldn't form any resistance at all, and they must all die in the mouth of the flame beast.
Dick's heart moved when he saw this, and he stood at the entrance of the cave and shouted, "Come here."
After that, Dick used up half of his magic power and summoned a level 8 water element, this water element is a variant of Dick's magic, after the water element appeared, it turned into a ghost ship and fearlessly crashed into the flame beast.
