"Teacher Lando, are we really just leaving?" Hearing Landolia say that she was leaving here, Liu Li asked in surprise, "I'm still a little relieved, the scope of the shadow beast's activities has increased too much, we can't just go back to the academy, otherwise the mercenaries here will ......"

"Who said we were going back to the academy?" Before Liu Li could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Landolia. "We're going back to Shadow Iron Town to move the rescuers, don't you really plan to rush the magic circle below just the four of us?" It was rare to see Liu Li deflated, provoking Lin and the squirrel to chuckle on the side.

Liu Li's face was red, he was also concerned about chaos, he first met the Kamal team when he came to this world, and then he has been learning magic from Wells, these experiences have always made him have an inexplicable good impression of the mercenary profession, and the mercenaries here have never disappointed Liu Li.

In fact, a few people were lucky enough, and it was difficult not to be detected if they teleported directly to such a close place to the magic circle. Landolia's subtle and abnormal control of the black element, coupled with the fact that there is a black crystal pillar to stabilize the elemental fluctuations, and at the same time, it has to be counted that the other party has not encountered any accidents, which makes the people guarding the magic circle in the cave below unaware.

Liu Li has studied the knowledge of magic arrays to some extent, but it is only for the two daggers of the squirrel, and he is confused about the magic circle that Landolia wants to arrange in this rock crevice. As a spellcaster, Liu Li was full of curiosity about the unknown, but he also knew that he could not be disturbed when he carved the circle, so he could only stand aside and watch silently, keep the entire structure of the circle in mind, and ask Landolia for these details when it was safe.

The entire magic circle was covered in the cracked stone walls and ground, and Liu Li could only recognize about 30% of the structure, but only this 30% part also made Liu Li feel crazy. Liu Li estimated the effect of the magic circle, not to mention teleporting here later, even if a high-level spell is cast here, as long as it does not exceed the range covered by the magic circle, it is impossible for the people in the cave below to find anything abnormal.

The material of Landolia's carved circle is powder ground from black ** crystals, Liu Li felt the elemental content in the powder, and the entire magic circle consumed more than three high-grade magic crystals. You must know that even in the magic array that occupies almost the entire cave below, there are only five high-level magic crystals as nodes, and although the magic array drawn by Landolia here is not large, the main pattern has already consumed three high-level magic crystals. Not only that, she also dismantled Liu Li's giant shield and used two high-level all-system elemental crystals as nodes. The power of this magic array can be seen from this luxurious arrangement, Liu Li can't imagine how the group of Odin people below will react when the magic circle is really activated, it seems that Landolia is really planning to make a big news this time.

In fact, in terms of real refinement, the magic circle carved by Landoria is far inferior to the nature in the underground caves, but the use of materials regardless of the cost, coupled with the fact that "it is far easier to destroy than to build", is enough to erase the gap between the two.

"Alas, the environment of this dark cavern is complicated enough. It was not Landolia who carved the magic circle who said this, nor Liu Li, who was learning from the teacher next to her, but a squirrel who had only been in this world for more than a year. Hearing her emotion, whether it was Liu Li or Landolia, who was a high-level mage, was stunned at the same time, and realized that she was negligent, only Lin's Lori still looked ignorant and couldn't grasp the point.

Yes, the environment of the dark cave is indeed complex, but the environment here is not the geographical environment composed of these intricate underground tunnels. The Dark Cavern was discovered because of the development of the Shadow Iron Mine, and the Shadow Beasts that originally lived here were the obstacles that humans had to face. The Empire covets the black stones of the Dark Caverns, which are extremely important to mages, and the Shadow Beasts must ensure that their homeland is not invaded, which is an irreconcilable contradiction.

However, what did the Odin people in the north do, it is true that they secretly united with the Bair Empire and wanted to trap the Kronos Empire, using the staff that was obtained from nowhere, which contained a red element that was different from the characteristics of this world, to make the shadow beast more and more crazy. But it can't be denied that they are also enemies for the shadow beasts that are naturally affinity with the black element.

The Shadow Beast, the Odin and the Kronos Empire, the three forces in this area are hostile to each other, and it seems that there is no possibility of communication at present, which is what the squirrel called "complex environment". Whether it was Landolia, who was a high-level spellcaster, or Liu Li, they all ignored this point, and perhaps only outsiders like Squirrels who had not yet integrated into this world would clearly see the essence of things. Of course, this is also related to the education that the squirrel has received since childhood, and the family history of this kind of thing sometimes does seem like a hanging.

"Maybe we don't need to leave in such a hurry. Landolia breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's get in touch with the Shadow Beast race, the kings of the Warcraft race usually have wisdom no less than humans. In the face of this strange red element, they must be more anxious than we are. ”

It's not hard to find where the Shadow Beastmaster is. The reason why the black crystal pillars in the cavern formed and extended into the ground was nothing more than to fight against that strange red element. Then, as long as you follow this crystal pillar to investigate the past backwards, it must not be difficult to reach the location of the Beastmaster. However, here, the group of four had to face another problem - what to do with those ordinary shadow beasts.

It is conceivable that since the black crystal pillar is fighting against the red element, the source of the crystal pillar must be a more suitable environment for the shadow beast to survive. Perhaps the Shadow Beasts that live there are not as chaotic as their Red Elemental counterparts, but after all, the Shadow Beasts and humans have been killing each other for decades, and it is impossible for them to turn a blind eye to the invaders.

Landolia does master some spells that can hide her aura, but the shadow beasts live in this environment rich in black elements all year round, and it is still unknown whether they can hide their perceptions. After all, beasts are usually more sensitive than humans, and monsters are even more so.

"Don't think about teleporting over directly, let's just walk over honestly. Looking at the wistful gazes of the three little ones, Landolia said angrily, "High-level mages are not omnipotent. ”

The labyrinthine life for several days in a row made several people miserable, and although these underground tunnels in the dark cavern lead in all directions, although there is a clear direction - follow the crystal pillar upward, but even if you know the direction, you often need to detour a long distance to find the right way. These days, Liu Li has calmed his teacher's emotions more than once, otherwise Landolia may have dug it up directly with magic to open up a passage, and it would be better to teleport along the crystal pillar than to be convenient.

What's even more annoying are the elusive shadow beasts, although Landolia and the squirrel can detect their approach in advance, but the main purpose of this time is to "talk" with the beastmaster, so naturally they can't cause too much killing. Even with Landolia's high-level cultivation, it is not so easy to only injure and not kill. Especially the closer you get to the source of the crystal pillar, the shadow beasts you encounter are getting stronger and stronger, and even now, even the war beasts will not appear in front of a few people alone, which makes the pressure on the group more and more.

Not to mention Landolia, a high-level spellcaster, among the three Liu Li, the most outstanding performance is Lin's Lori. She is about to break through the middle level, and she is more than a step more proficient than Liu Li in the use of strength and martial arts, not to mention the squirrel who is not good at facing the enemy, and she looks even more immature compared to Lin. This Lori has a double-edged heavy axe in her hand, and the shadow beasts that are struck out by her usually lose their combat power, but almost none die directly. She already has great strength, and the two martial arts of "shock" and "heavy" on the heavy axe in her hand are fused to strike, and it is simply handy to deal with this situation.

"I guess I'll be there tomorrow, how high it is. Staying in the cave that Landolia had carved out with spells, Liu Li asked in a low voice. For several days, everyone has been going upward, and they have long since left the category of "underground". Liu Li only knew that he was in the belly of the mountain now, but as for the specific height, he didn't know. In fact, Liu Li didn't really need the answer to this inconsequential question, it was just his tired self-talk.

Landolia wanted to give a few children a certain amount of exercise, and after using magic to deal with those more powerful shadow beasts, she refused to make a move, and the slightly weaker shadow beasts she let go really brought a lot of trouble to Liu Li and the others.

The most painful thing these days is Liu Li. Lin seems to be at ease when dealing with those shadow beasts, and the squirrel can also ensure his safety with his agile skills, but Liu Li is neither as skillful as Lin's skillful use of martial arts, nor as good as the squirrel who opens the "Condensation" talent in dodge, especially if he doesn't even have a suitable weapon in his hand, and "Return" can't be used in the narrow tunnel at all. If it weren't for the help of magic, maybe he wouldn't have been able to hold it out.

However, Liu Li is not without gains, after being promoted to the second order, he has not experienced the baptism of actual combat, this time it is considered to have completed the experience, and the use of magic has made rapid progress under the voice of Landolia from time to time, and he can no longer find a rough feeling, whether it is the casting speed or the control of the elements, it has been greatly improved.

The ventilation in the cave was fine, but it was impossible to make a fire, and the few people had to rely on the hedron collected in the crystal pillar for lighting. Lynn and the squirrel were now haggard, and the days of labyrinth life had made them miserable, especially since they couldn't even find a place to take a bath, which drove the two clean-loving little girls crazy. Liu Li and Landolia didn't have this worry, the level of the spell to cleanse the body was not high, and it was not troublesome to cast. As for helping the two little girls solve this problem, they feel shy to ask Liu Li for help, and ask Landolia for help...... They just thought about it, and they really didn't dare to make such a request.

......

A black chain shot out from Landolia's hand, and the chains that were tens of meters long bound the shadow war beast that broke through the rock wall like a rice dumpling, and no matter how hard it struggled, it could not break free.

Walking around the corner of the tunnel, what appeared in front of the four of them was a cave with clusters of crystals. The huge demonic beast lying in the middle of the cavern, with its eyes half-closed, was their target, the Shadow Beastmaster.
