Chapter 70: Underground Caves

"To get in?"

Standing in front of the entrance of the cave, even Helena, who was not a mage, could clearly feel the constant gushing breath of death.

Compared to other places on the island, the energy intensity in this cave is many times higher, and if it is said that it will be very dangerous to stay on the island for a long time, then enter the cave......

"Personally, I don't recommend moving on. ”

As a mage, Ethan, who is more sensitive to energy, feels more strongly than others, such a rich energy, it is certain that there is an extremely high-quality magic stone in it, and this magic stone is ninety percent likely to be a core-level magic stone.

But this magic stone is a rare negative energy attribute magic stone, and this kind of magic stone is so rare that it is ...... Almost no one in the Sea of Calm knew about the existence of this magic stone, and if Ethan hadn't consulted a lot of information and seen some words from it, he might have thought that there was no magic stone with this property.

"Death, darkness, and so on negative energies...... Either way, it can have huge side effects, and even the energy core used to make a facility is likely to turn the facility pollution into something completely different from what was planned. ”

Such a strong negative energy, no matter how high the energy intensity is, it is not suitable to be used as a core, for example, it is used as a power source for a ship, and over time, the ship may become an undead ship. Even if it is used as a weapon in the first place, there are huge risks.

"Enter!"

Helena bit her lip, and the firmness in her eyes surprised Ethan. He couldn't understand why this woman had been able to make up her mind so quickly, could she really care so much about the magic stone?

"You don't look like a person who is desperate for greed, what is it that makes you so attached to this magic stone?"

In comparison, Ethan's thoughts about this magic stone have decreased again and again, and now he is unwilling to touch this magic stone even if it is placed in front of him.

Powerful energy is a great temptation, but Ethan has already determined the path he wants to take, and he will not and does not want his efforts to be ruined so casually.

"Because I'm going to be stronger!"

Helena looked at Ethan with a determined gaze, as if to show her resolve and at the same time tell him, "If you want to quit, you can leave now." ”

Of course, Ethan would not be stimulated by her simple agitation method, although the energy in it was dangerous, it could not threaten him.

"There are many ways to get stronger, and you seem to be on a very dangerous path right now. ”

The two sides are not familiar with each other, and Ethan just said this casually, whether the other party is willing to listen or not, that is the other party's business, and he doesn't care.

Since it was time to move on, Ethan entered the cave first.

The island, which was already dim, simply did not have enough light to illuminate the caves. Even if you only take a few steps, you can see the situation outside the cave entrance when you turn around, and the front is still pitch black.

"Torch!"

Marta and Eliza took out the torches and ignition tools they had prepared in their backpacks, and the dark cavern was soon illuminated. Exploring caves or some ancient buildings, using torches has one advantage over using flashlights, that is, torches can test the air in an enclosed space, so Ethan has better lighting equipment but doesn't take it out.

Ethan was still in front, Helena was a little behind, and at the same time staggered with Ethan, so that he could use the torch in his hand to illuminate Ethan.

Take out the iron rod and hold it in your hand to prevent any emergency. The longsword was not used, as the cave was a bit narrow, barely allowing two people to move side by side, and the longsword could not be used in such an environment. Similarly, the two in the back did not use two-handed swords, and each took out a dagger to defend themselves.

After advancing for a while, Ethan felt that the path of the cavern was slowly lowering and turning, but it was indeed slowly extending underground.

If it weren't for the fact that his mental strength was strong enough and he felt far beyond ordinary people, it would be difficult to perceive that he was walking in an arc.

"We're underground now. ”

He just routinely told the few people next to him about the current situation, but this sentence suddenly popped up, making Helena a little unresponsive, and it took a while to reply.

"Are you sure? We seem to be walking in a straight line all the time. ”

"No, if you look closely, you will see that this cavern is not straight, but slightly curved, and the ground under our feet is not flat enough, so it is difficult for you to notice that the altitude is slowly decreasing, we have been walking for so long in a slow circle, and then towards the underground of this island. ”

What Ethan couldn't figure out was that such a circle with a small arc would need a wide enough area to be able to do it, and would the island have such a large area?

"Isn't it just negative energy, it's also the energy of space?"

Thinking of this, he rekindled his interest, and now there was nothing more important to him than spatial energy, because it was related to the foundation of his existence in this world.

Just thinking about it, he suddenly noticed a movement in front of him, Ethan made a gesture to remind a few people behind him, and then slowed down his steps and moved forward slowly.

It was still pitch black in front of them, and the light of the torches seemed to never be able to reach ten meters away, and when a few people continued to walk a few steps, they found that the space in front of them had become wider, and it was no longer the kind of cramped narrow passage.

"People?"

In the firelight, Ethan saw a man standing motionless in the darkness, dressed as one of the crew members of the previous ship.

"What is he doing standing here? Is he lost in the dark?"

Helena wanted to ask him what was wrong, standing motionless in the dark cavern, but was stopped by Ethan's movements.

"That's not right. ”

"Huh?"

"This man is dead. ”

Ethan didn't feel the normal breath of life in this person, but felt a strong death breath, and now this guy can't be counted as a living person.

If you use something familiar to describe the existence in front of you, zombie seems to be a very appropriate name.

"Tsk, I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing in this world. ”

However, when zombies first appeared, they were originally a product of magic, and it was normal for them to appear in a world with such a strange product as a magic stone.

In order to convince Helena of her judgment, Ethan picked up a stone and deliberately threw it on the stone wall next to her.

Smack!

The crisp sound was particularly clear in the cave, attracting the attention of the guy who had been facing away from several people.

And when he turned around, revealing his pale face and his eerie glowing pupils, Ethan realized that something was wrong.

"Oh no, this guy has vision. ”

He could feel strange magical fluctuations in the eyes that locked on him and others, emitting an eerie light, those eyes were undoubtedly able to see, and most likely possessed some special abilities.

"Damn, it's one of those zombies in the biochemical world. ”

The senses of zombies in the biochemical world are completely degraded, whether it is sight, hearing, or smell, they are basically the same, and they will only be discovered by them if they are close to a very close distance.

However, the one in front of him had normal or even stronger vision, and Ethan suspected that the pitch-black environment might not be able to obstruct his vision.

"Prepare for battle!"

The guy who exuded an evil and strange light saw Ethan and the others let out a soul-piercing shout, causing several people except Ethan to almost faint.

"Soul attack, spirit attack?"

The howl just now was an attack on the soul or spirit, and the intensity was not high, but ordinary people would be shocked by the sudden mental trance, unable to cope with the next attack.

is completely different from the slow movements of the zombies in the biochemical world, the movement of the zombie in front of him is very fast, as if a person has burst out of all his speed in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed to Ethan's face, raised his right hand and smashed it towards Ethan.

"This guy!"

He didn't expect that this sluggish-looking zombie would actually judge that he was not disturbed by the previous move, and launched a surprise attack specifically against himself.

The iron rod lay in front of him, and he caught the attack solidly. The sudden attack made Ethan's hand holding the iron rod numb for a while, and he almost couldn't even hold the iron rod and came out.

At the critical moment, the reaction cultivated by many battles made Ethan instinctively respond. didn't panic and retreated to open the distance, but took half a step forward, taking advantage of the fact that the other party had just landed and didn't stand firm, he directly hit it with his shoulder, and flew the zombie back upside down.

Boom!

The sound of heavy objects falling on the ground echoed in the wide cavern, but Ethan didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief at this time, he had already cultivated his fighting instinct after so many battles, and he would not relax until he completely destroyed the enemy.

Therefore, the zombie landed, followed by the ice arrow on Ethan's left wristband.

Syllable!

The sound of the cold eruption, as well as the cold wind from the shop when it erupted, shook Ethan's spirit, and at the same time, his blood that had soared from the sudden encounter with the battle cooled down a little, and he regained his calm mind.

After calming down, all he did was raise his right hand, which had eased up, and added another flaming arrow.

"Eat me ice and fire!"

He didn't believe that it was frozen and roasted, and this zombie was not dead?

Because it is a completely different product from the biochemical world, Ethan is not sure what the key point of this thing is, so he decides to make up a few knives to make up for it to be safe, and he must kill this thing completely.

The explosion of the flame arrow echoed in the empty cave, and Helena and the others, who had been hit by the soul, also recovered, and at this time they didn't even have time to say thanks, so they saw several similar beings in the distance in the distance who were frantically rushing towards themselves and the others.
