"I'm not afraid of ghosts!"

Natsu gritted her teeth and stretched out her hand, and a dark cloud of magic appeared in front of her body.

"Erin, go down and see if there's anything worth noting."

Before activating the spell, she gave a command to Lori.

"There's a tunnel down here, and there's nothing strange found in it, master."

After about 2 minutes, Erin came with the news:

"But I don't know what's ...... in the depths of this tunnel."

"Then leave it alone and come back."

Natsu asks Lori to return, and then unleashes a spell against the blockade of the dead.

"Giggle...... Cluck! ”

The tightly packed bones on the ground made a few crunching sounds, as if a person's ribcage had been opened, and one by one stood up like ribs, revealing a dark hole.

A cold, earthy wind poured out of the ground, mixed with a strange aura.

"Erin, keep a distance of about a kilometer from me and explore the way ahead."

Xia said in his mind:

"Not only do you have to explore the inside of the tunnel, but you also have to pay attention to the rocks and soil for traps, and if you find one, let me know immediately."

"Wendy, we ......"

She then turned her head to talk to the vampire girl about how to explore the place, only to find that there was nothing in front of her, and Wendy, who had been standing there, was nowhere to be found.

"Wendy? - Wendy! ”

Xia was a little anxious at first, thinking that the other party had an accident.

But if you think about it, the vampire girl is much more powerful than herself, and there is no reason why she is fine, but the other party is suddenly snatched away, which is not reasonable at all.

"Did she leave on her own?"

"Since leaving the island in the middle of the lake, Wendy's state has been a little weird, it can't be that something happened."

Although she was a little anxious, Gladys's situation was obviously much more dangerous than the powerful and mysterious vampire girl, so she had no choice but to choose to enter this cave blocked by bones first.

The air inside wasn't as bad as it seemed, maybe there were other vents, maybe there were gaps in the bones of the sealed doors...... Not only can you breathe normally, but you can also occasionally notice some strange and unfamiliar smells.

This smell ...... It's kind of like the smell of a woman, but it's not either Gladys and Wendy, it's someone else.

"Click-"

Natsu didn't let the hole open like this, but used magic to seal it again.

Anyway, this bone door seemed to her to be very fragile, and if there was any accident at that time, it could be shattered with a sword from the inside, and it would not affect future actions.

"It's weird, if it's okay to encounter skeleton monsters, zombies and the like in this kind of place, how can there be a woman here?"

"Could it be a female high undead? But the dark aura here is not as strong as imagined, and it is unlikely to be the lair of the high undead. ”

Closing the bone door, the environment that had been shining with a glimmer of light became dark again, and she walked forward with questions, and gradually went deeper into the ground under the leadership of the artifact Lori.

This passage is very solidly built, and the surrounding earth and rocks have been reinforced with some kind of marl, except for the occasional water seeping out, "ticking" and "ticking" to the ground, and the atmosphere is a little eerie.

"Master, if there are scattered bones on the ground, you should be careful."

Erin's voice came from the front:

"I found a lot of bones in and around the passage, I can't detect them, they look like dead things, but I don't know if they can move."

"Even if these guys are resurrected, they won't be much better, don't worry."

Xia sent a new order to Little Lori:

"It seems that this is just a pathway, and there are no conditions for setting traps, so speed up, just follow it and check what is at the end."

Shortly after this order was given, Erin suddenly exclaimed in her mind:

"I've found Spider-Woman, master!"

"Gladys is really here?"

Xia was surprised.

- Could it be that Wendy could have predicted the prophet?

Or could she sense the location of the spider beauty from a distance...... Even if some strength is restored, this kind of thing is too unbelievable.

"There are four other people besides her."

Lori went on to report:

"They all looked hungry though...... It seems like I haven't eaten in a long time. ”

"Erin, lift the invisibility."

Xia quickened his pace, and said in his mind:

"Find a way to probe and see if a few of them are locked up by something."

"Yes, master!"

Erin obediently appeared from the air, fell to the ground, picked up a pebble, and threw it at the dying advance team.

"Wow!"

Sure enough, halfway through, the pebble was blocked by a transparent light shield, and at the same time it ignited a spark of magical power.

“？”

This slight movement immediately caught the attention of the spider beauty.

She got up from the ground in rags, slowly walked to the edge of the mask, put her hand on it, looked outside for a long time, and then walked back with weak steps.

"She can't seem to see the outside."

Erin thought to herself.

She then immediately reported the situation to her master.

"It should be a kind of barrier that can close the internal vision, specially used to imprison the enemy."

Xia quickly moved closer to this side and said to little Lori:

"This barrier can neither go out nor enter, and you can't see the outside from the inside...... This is a psychological means of dealing with prisoners, and staying in an enclosed space for a long time can make people more prone to mental breakdown. ”

"It seems that someone is trying to force the advance team members to do something......"

She put away her sword, held the Dagger behind her back, and rushed into the place where several people were imprisoned.

It was a large underground cavern with a circular outline, the center of which was the space where the advance team members were staying, and with her eyes she could see the faint glow of magic hanging outside.

"The entire ground is a magic array...... It seems to be to prevent the people inside from digging tunnels to escape. ”

When she saw Gladys, who looked a little sluggish, a wave of anger welled up in her heart.

"Master, this isn't a divine power enchantment, it should just be an ordinary magic enchantment."

As a Fragment of God, Erin was still sensitive to the power of the gods, but she didn't feel anything like that in this cave.

"I know."

Xia stretched out his hand, wanting to destroy the mask and rescue the people inside.

But suddenly I had a flash of inspiration and put my hand down again.

"Go in and tell them how we're doing, and then send some food and water."

She said to Erin:

"Let them not be in a hurry, tell me the details, let me know what happened."

"Master, did you tell you in a text paraphrase?"

"That's right, thank you." Xia nodded.

Erin called up the system panel and flew into the barrier invisibly.

As soon as she appeared inside, the spider beauty jumped up with tension.

The physical presence of the God Fragment is extremely weak, and there is no smell on its body, but in the non-invisible state, it will still affect the flow of air, and Gladys, who is a strong man, immediately noticed the abnormality.

But when she saw Erin, she immediately showed a happy smile, rushed over and hugged little Lori, and kissed her on the face.

As a member of the ancient race, she is the type to be close to the earth element, and Irene's breath almost kills this creature close to the element, so many of Natsu's companions like her very much.

Those advance team members who were weak and lying on the ground also found that there was one more person in the enchantment, and when they saw the appearance of little Lori, their eyes widened, and they struggled desperately to get up from the ground.

When Erin brought out the food and water, the people cried out even more, it seemed that they had been hungry for a long time, almost all of them grabbed the food and stuffed it into their mouths, and their eyes were red, and they swallowed it without even chewing.

"I've really wronged you."

Xia could see the situation inside from the outside, and this scene made her very sad.

"When they're done eating, ask them who kept them here."

Her face was gloomy as water, and she ordered Erin:

"There is no need to ask too much detail, because the other party may come back at any time...... Just ask what kind of person they are and what they have been along the way. (To be continued.) )
