Chapter Seventy-Two: The Mountains and Rivers Are Exhausted
"Alan is right, originally we were also going to go to the cave in the mountain, but now we are still acting according to the original plan, and there is no loss. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Elvis made a look of indifference, anyway, it's all adventure, more dangerous and exciting to be fun.
"It's a good thing we brought in the box containing the tribute in a hurry just now, otherwise it would have been a real trouble this time. ”
Bloom said with some trepidation.
"Brother Allen, are you alright?"
There was a little girl's question from inside the cave, and Harvey and Stanny had walked far away with her, and they heard Alan's voice and returned, and they were not relieved until they were sure that Eren was safe.
"Let's hit the road. ”
Everyone sat in the cave and rested for a while, and after relieving their tension, Alan stood up first and said.
"There shouldn't be any danger in this cave, but just in case, everyone should walk in formation. ”
Bloom made a formation before the departure, walking at the front of the line, followed by Fresnel, Allen, Stanny, Miranda, Elvis, Harvey and Sergey. One before the other and one behind are the two strongest swordsmen, the magicians are interspersed with them, the advantage of this arrangement is to be able to protect the magicians in the middle, when encountering sudden dangers, the swordsmen will deal with it first, giving the magicians enough time to react, if they encounter a strong enemy, the swordsman can quickly change into a circle formation, and the magician will assist in the center to maximize the combat effectiveness. Miranda can't see because of her eyes, and the road in the cave is extremely difficult to walk, and she is carried forward by Stanny, from the time she went to Longshen Mountain, Stanny has taken the initiative to shoulder the responsibility of making cows and horses for the little girl, the little girl was unwilling, she wanted Alan to carry her, but she was opposed by everyone, Alan is a magician, and the reaction speed of the body is not as fast as that of a swordsman, if he is allowed to carry a person, it will only increase the danger, and in the end the little girl can only accept this fact.
In addition to Stanny, Harvey also had an additional task, he was responsible for hauling the box containing the tribute, the weight of the box was not low, hundreds of pounds, but after Alan installed the flotation magic circle at the bottom of the box, it was as light as a feather, allowing Harvey to drag it up and down without difficulty.
"Let's go, let's see what other swords, mountains and fires are waiting for us to break into. ”
Elvis pushed Stanny in front of him, urging him a little impatiently, and the dangers encountered along the way not only did not dampen his morale, but made him more and more motivated.
"Brother El, Raven's Beak, it's best that there are no swords and no fire, only a kind dragon waiting to make a deal with us. ”
The little girl said dissatisfiedly.
"Have you ever seen a raven who is proficient in earth magic?"
Elvis shook his head and smiled disapprovingly.
"I've seen it, not only earth magic, but also water magic, and the strangest thing is that this crow doesn't like carrion and likes to eat roast meat, especially roast leg of lamb. ”
Alan interjected next to him.
"Yes, Alan, you actually help others bully old classmates, have you forgotten how the old man taught us to help each other in the first place? I want to complain to the old man that you are now so good that you don't take his words to heart. ”
Elvis made an angry face, and he almost jumped to make it seem more real.
"Well, I'm not involved in your business. ”
Alan hurriedly raised his hand in surrender.
"Sue the spirit!"
The little girl said with disdain.
"Haha!"
Hearing the little girl's words, everyone laughed out loud, and Elvis blushed even more, but fortunately it was dark and no one noticed.
Everyone moved forward in an atmosphere of talking and laughing, and everyone's relaxed state gradually dispelled the shadow in Allen's heart, since the first two cave trips were able to turn evil into good fortune in the end, I believe that this time there will also be no danger.
Walking all the way up, through a passage that began to widen and then narrowed, the group arrived at a huge hole**, where Alan and they saw a pool,
The pool was large, the water was deep and clear, but there was no living life in it, but it was nothing. The main attraction is a rock protruding from the center of the pool, and a long boulder is placed diagonally in the pool, one end reaching the other end of the pool, and the middle position is on the rock, and the other section is suspended in the air, as if a hill has fallen into the lake.
That's where Bloom and Harvey mentioned earlier. The shore is littered with traces of human life, piles of burnt soot and all kinds of discarded clothing and daily necessities scattered all over the place.
Alan unleashed a lighting spell and looked around, just as Bloom had said before, the passage was here, and suddenly there was no road ahead.
"Is there any indication on the map?"
Alan asked Bloom.
"No, and the team that escorted the tribute before had never had such a problem. There have never been any examples of them finding their way and returning in vain. ”
"It's kind of weird. ”
Eren scratched his head, a little puzzled, the dragon asked the Ogu family to send tribute to him, it was impossible to block the road.
"It's weird. Harvey and I have both looked at it before, and the rocks here are very neat, not like there are other passages. I'm not really sure though, and I need to check again. ”
After Bloom finished speaking, he took Harvey and Stanny to carry the illuminated magic array to look around in detail.
There's a lot of space here, and Bloom came in and just looked at it, and there's no guarantee that there's a small cavern or mechanism hidden in some hidden location.
On the other hand, Alan did not look for a passage around, but curiously turned over the traces left by his predecessors, he found a wooden stick, and used it to gently turn up the charcoal ash in the ground, the previous escort of tribute used to live here for heating and processing food, the charcoal ash on the ground is very thick, and there is a lot of domestic garbage, which shows that they have stayed here for a while.
"Alan, did you find anything?"
Bloom spun around and walked back with nothing, just in time to see Alan looking at the ground, and asked curiously.
"Yes, there are discoveries. ”
Alan threw down the stick in his hand and looked up and said.
"What discovery?"
"Judging by the amount of ash on the ground and the amount of garbage around, the previous teams have stayed here, and some have even lived here for a while. ”
"But what does that mean?"
Bloom frowned, not understanding what Alan meant by this.
"It means that they had the same problem as us, they couldn't find the road, but they didn't leave, they waited here, and finally they went in. ”
Alan further explained.
"I see. There's definitely a channel up here, it's just not time to open yet, so we need to wait. ”
Elvis next to him moved in his heart, remembering the scene when he first entered the ancient monument under the Silent Ridge, the gate of the monument can only be opened at a certain time, it seems that this place and the ancient monument design under the Silent Ridge are quite similar, the same established mountain belly, similar mechanism design, but one goes down to the center of the earth, the other up, straight to the clouds.
