"This is it, the fragrance disappears here", Lin Ze held a light crystal probe stick, standing by a huge shaft about 5 meters in diameter, and the whirring cold wind rushed up from the bottom of the well.

"What's that!" Ella was shining the high beam of the light crystal cylinder into the shaft when she suddenly exclaimed.

A small black shadow on the edge of the light quickly retracted into the darkness, and no matter how much Ella and Lin Ze took a look, they could no longer be found.

Lin Ze pondered slightly, he didn't see much for a moment just now, it was a bit like the tentacles of some animal, no, it was more like a vine!

"What to do? Our rope is not long enough. ”

"This is not a ventilated patio at all", Lin Ze used the light source on the probe rod to shine along the wall of the well, "This is definitely a ladder well, you see, there are still the remains of wooden wedges on the wall of the well, this is the staircase we have been looking for, it should have been a wooden spiral staircase, spiraling up along the wall of the well, the wood has long been rotten after such a long time." ”

This stairwell was located in a corner of the camp's large platform, and it was dark at the time and there was a wind rushing upward, so I thought it was a ventilation shaft, and I didn't think much about it.

"It's too late, let's tie a few sections of rope and go down alone to see if we can reach the next layer," Ella said and was ready to start.

"Wait, no, don't forget, I'm a magician", Lin Ze thought for a moment, and then stopped, he took out an Eita seed from the seed bag, pretended to dance with his hands, frowned, and then said in his native dialect, "It's so hard to think of a spell~" and then put the seed on the ground against the wall by the well.

"Whew~ What a magician, what kind of magic is this? Is it plant magic? Ella exclaimed, and all of a sudden, when it was just a small bean, sprouted, and grew longer and thicker, like a snake, along the wall of the well, and the magic was amazing.

After a while, Lin Ze opened his eyes and raised his head, "Okay, let's go down, the broad-leaved vines will remain in their current state until I cast the spell again and put it away, don't worry about not coming back, this plant has fine fibrous roots everywhere, and it will be firmly wrapped around the wall, it is very safe, or I will take the lead." ”

After saying that, Lin Ze climbed down the vine, the broad-leaved vine is a plant specially cultivated by the Iter people to act as a rope, the second-order vine stem is as thick as Lin Ze's thigh, very strong, there are huge leaves growing on it, the leaf stem is as thick as a small arm, which can be used as a support point in the climbing process, of course, the vine is also divided into grades, the higher the level, the stronger the vine, and the stronger the grip on the vine, but for the stone wall, the second-order vine is enough.

"Quick, I smell that fragrance again, don't worry, we won't break it when we hang it on the vines", Lin Ze's voice came from below.

Ella put away her surprised expression, tightened the belt on her body, and immediately climbed down with Lin Ze, "Mai Lei, don't come down, you go back to the camp and tell them where we are going", Ella didn't forget to turn around and explain, she also paused, "Also, if we don't come back in two days, you will leave immediately with them and go back and tell Uncle Gangli...... We Nords have nothing to fear. ”

……

"Click~" A crisp sound.

Lin Ze didn't pay attention to what he stepped on, quickly drew his long sword to guard, and used the light crystal probe staff to illuminate the surrounding environment to confirm that it was safe for the time being, and then said softly, "In the end, come down." ”

"Click~" There were a few more crisp sounds, and it was obvious that Ella, who jumped down, also stepped on something, but she didn't need to be on guard anymore, so she moved the light of the light crystal cylinder in her hand down, "His~" She took a sharp breath, "Damn, what's going on!" ”

Lin Ze looked down at this time, his foot was falling into the body of a Nord zombie at the moment, no~ Just now, he obviously felt that he had just stepped on some dead branch or something, so he quickly pulled out his foot, and then the Nord zombie that was trampled on was broken like an eggshell, which made Lin Ze feel creepy.

"Impossible, how can it be as brittle as an eggshell, this is definitely the corpse of the ancestor~" Ella looked horrified, the wrapped linen wrap on the outside of the corpse was absolutely real.

There is not just one such "eggshell" here, but everywhere, Lin Ze carefully observed on these corpses, "It seems that something has sucked them dry", Lin Ze pointed to the big hole in the head of a corpse, "Every corpse here has this kind of wound, it should be a scavenging creature, combined with the ability to climb the smooth well wall, it doesn't look like ~"

"Be careful!" , Ella, who was facing Lin Ze on the side, suddenly noticed a black shadow flashing on the edge of the light, and hurriedly warned.

Lin Ze was shocked, he felt that it was too late when a vicious wind hit him, and he didn't care about the "eggshells" all over the ground, he threw himself forward in embarrassment, crushing more "eggshells" with his face and chest.

"Smack!" A loud crisp sound came, and a black shadow slammed into the place where Lin Ze was standing just now, and then quickly retracted into the darkness and disappeared.

Damn, the previous invincible mental power detection did not detect the attacker at all, Lin Ze slapped away all kinds of strange brittles on his face, while calming the frightened nerves, "This is a scavenging plant, damn, this is definitely a mutated scavenging plant", he gritted his teeth and said, whether it is an animal or an explorer, when staring at the enemy and preparing to attack, it will release a subtle stance wave, which is also the basis for the spiritual power to sense hostility, but the plant will not, Especially some plants that rely entirely on instinct to hunt, damn it, it's not easy to do now, Lin Ze's face is ugly, in this dark environment, he was still comfortable relying on spiritual power, but now he finds that spiritual power can't detect the enemy, and he has completely become blind, which is dangerous.

"What to do? Now that you know this plant, what should you do about it? Ella asked.

"Most of the plants that grow in the dark environment are afraid of flames, but now the question is where is this, what the terrain is that we can't find out for a while, and what's more troublesome is that we have a limited range of illumination, this kind of vine may attack from the darkness around us at any time, even underground, we can't deal with this kind of thing at all in an unfamiliar environment, and we can't see the enemy's movement at all," Lin Ze said objectively.

"And what about my companions?" Ella thought that Lin Ze was going to retreat.

"People naturally have to be saved, otherwise I'm afraid that after a long time, these will be the fate of your companions, but we must not be brutal, what we need at this moment is not to rush over with a limited number of torches to die, we must find more torches to illuminate the environment, step by step to go inside, as long as the surrounding light is bright, it is naturally not a problem to deal with a few vines", Lin Ze paused after speaking, "Of course, there is another point that cannot be ignored, the fragrance in the air at this moment is obviously much stronger than that in the camp, We also have to beware of poisoning and falling into a coma, and I have a way to do this. ”

"I know this is there", a Nord man who followed Ella suddenly said, "Although I haven't been here, but according to the layout of our Nord people's construction of the city, this is the lowest level of the city, and generally our Nord customs, the lowest level of the city is the cemetery, that is, the tomb and other places where the deceased people are buried. ”

"That's right, Acre is right", Ella also calmed down, stepped forward and added, "I was in a hurry just now, and indeed we have this custom, I suddenly thought of a way......"
