Chapter 65: Into the Ground

"Don't look at it, this is the same situation after I killed this monster last time!"

Viscount Jackson took out a white handkerchief to wipe the sword from his hand, and tucked the bright blade into the scabbard.

"When you die, you will self-destruct!"

Leylin was a little surprised, this was completely inconsistent with the general growth laws of living things.

Looking at the skeleton that was still bubbling white, Leylin stepped forward to pick up a bone.

The white dry bones were covered with cracks, as if they would fall apart at the slightest touch, and with a strong finger of Lei Lin's fingers, the dry bones turned into bone meal.

"Well, that's not right!" Leylin glanced at and found a few traces of red veins in the middle of the white bone meal.

"The target has a zĂ i life fluctuation, detects high-energy bacteria, and immediately moves away from the main body!" At this time, the scanning results of the chip also appeared in front of Lei Lin's eyes.

Lei Lin hurriedly threw the red blood vessels in his hand, and at the same time used the energy particles to start cleaning his palm.

"What's wrong?" Melfeller realized something was wrong.

"Watch out for those bones, there's still something in them!" Lei Lin frowned and quickly retreated some distance.

At this moment, many red blood vessels suddenly appeared on the original lizard skeleton, and countless holes were pierced through the bones, and it seemed that the previous blood vessels were parasitic on the bone marrow inside the bones.

Countless blood-red tubes emerged, entangled and entangled like tree roots, and combined into a small monster.

It's a bit like the original monster, but the whole body is blood-red, there are protruding blood vessels from time to time, there are no eyes and mouths, and the four legs are very strong.

The monster was so fast that it left its position before Jackson and the other wizard apprentices could react, leaving only a thin red line in everyone's eyes.

"Chase! This monster definitely has something to do with the Withered Forest!" a man covered in gray robes whispered a few words in Jackson's ear, and Viscount Jackson immediately gave the order.

"That gray-robed man, who has been following Jackson since the Polar Night City, should be a cronie, and has a very strong detection ability!"

Lei Lin's eyes narrowed, and he scanned it with a chip, "Is this kind of body shape and appearance, and the fluctuation of a second-class apprentice?"

"Hurry!

Following Jackson's order, the soldiers of the Black Iron Guard immediately stepped forward, Jackson was in the central protective position of the guard, and the gray-robed man followed closely behind.

The rest of the wizard apprentices glanced at each other, and Melfiler was a little helpless: "Keep up!"

Leylin deliberately suppressed his speed, parallel to Melfeller, "Do you have any guesses about that thing before?"

According to the strength of the parasited, the mother body has at least the rank of a third-class apprentice, or even ...... Official Wizard!" Melfil smiled wryly.

For official wizards, Leylin's squad is not dangerous at all, and a few first-level witchcraft can wipe out Leylin.

"It shouldn't be!" Lei Lin shook his head and said, according to the calculation of the chip, although the strength of that parasite is good, the main body is at most the energy strength of the peak of the third-class apprentice, otherwise, Lei Lin is the first to escape.

"It's just...... It's a ...... luck that a mere investigation task was chosen by myself, and it actually involved creatures of at least third-class apprentice difficulty" Lei Lin didn't know what to say about himself.

I was also glad that I didn't come alone at the beginning, otherwise, if I didn't have the ability to explode in times of adversity like the protagonist in the novel in my previous life, I would only end up dead.

"Be careful, we're getting deeper and deeper, I can feel the thick breath of negative energy in the air!"

A wizard apprentice roared.

For negative energy, Lei Lin's feelings are more obvious, after all, he majors in the dark energy particles, just like the plant department and the light system pay more attention to the study of positive energy, for the dark system, Lei Lin's time spent on negative energy is definitely much more than ordinary people.

"It's almost comparable to the periphery of the Black Bone Forest Academy, no wonder I feel like a fish in water!"

Leylin pulled his collar up to hide the smile that appeared on his lips.

The sound of armor clattering sounded, and the team came to a halt.

"It's gone! The red monster, I saw it pause here, and suddenly vanished!" Jackson drew his sword: "Alert!"

The Black Iron Guards immediately formed a circle around the place, guarding Jackson and the other wizarding apprentices inside in case of a surprise attack.

"This should be the heart of the Withered Forest!" Melfil stroked his beard.

"Here, some of the detection methods prepared earlier can be used!" Melfiler took out a tube of black potion from his shirt, uncorked it, and gently poured it on the ground.

Didi!!

After the black liquid was poured on the ground, it turned into tiny ants and kept crawling around.

By the time the potion was all used, Leylin estimated that nearly 10,000 ants had appeared.

"This kind of detection can be called an all-round coverage search, and it will be difficult for that parasite to escape!"

Sure enough, after waiting for more than ten minutes, a black ant appeared at Melfiler's feet, and crawled along his clothes until Melfiler's ear, seemingly saying something next to his ear.

"Find, follow me!" Melfil followed the ant, leading the party to a withered oak tree.

"Get this oak out of the way!" Melfil pointed to the tree, "From my detection, there's a secret passage underneath this oak tree. ”

"Go!" Viscount Jackson waved his hand.

The black-armored guard immediately stepped forward, brandished his spear, and stabbed at the oak tree.

The withered oak tree was evident not to withstand such an attack, and was pierced by the spear, and many sawdust flew into the air as if it were snow, and ten guards scrambled to remove the rotten oak, revealing a swarthy hole.

"This is it!" Melfiler's eyes lit up and he recited a few more incantations.

Dense colonies of black ants crawled from all sides, all entering the holes.

Suddenly, Melfiler's face turned white, and his body fell backwards, and he almost fainted.

"What's wrong?" Leylin appeared behind Melfeller and lifted him around his waist.

"There's a very dangerous creature in the cave, and it's wiped out all my little darling!" Melfiler's face was ugly.

"What shall we do?" asked one of the apprentices, apparently trying to retreat to the city first.

"Prepare the torches!" Jackson waved his hand, "Let's go down and have a look!"

"Yes!" The guards performed the city lord's task well, and Lei Lin and several wizards glanced at each other, and in the end, they had no choice but to follow.

The entrance to the cave was relatively small, requiring adults to bend down to enter, but the deeper you went, the wider it became, and by later on, the guards were able to walk upright side by side, carrying torches before reaching the top of the cave.

"Trouble! Judging from the height of this cave, the 'mother' must not be too small. Lei Lin touched the skin bag on his waist, if he hadn't prepared a lot of hole cards, I'm afraid he would have secretly left the team.

After all, for angering a city lord, life is still a little more precious.

"Lord Viscount! there are two forks in the road!" said the man who looked like a squad leader to Jackson.

"I'll take a look!" Jackson stepped forward.

Lei Lin followed, and sure enough, two holes of almost the same size appeared in front of him, deep and far-reaching, and there was only bottomless darkness when he looked down, like a monster with a wide open mouth.

"The concentration of negative energy here is too high, and ordinary detection methods can't work!" the gray-robed man beside the city lord suddenly spoke.

"Call two people to scout your way!" Viscount Jackson commanded, frowning.

"I'd better come!" Leylin stepped forward suddenly.

Since he knew that the 'Mother' was extremely powerful, he didn't want to let his side's combat power lose in vain.

"Since Mr. Raylin is willing to make a move, it couldn't be better!" said Viscount Jackson.

Lei Lin stepped forward a few steps and took out a transparent crystal from his bosom.

"Gulliston-Jonatel!" As Leylin's incantation sounded, a black vertical eye suddenly appeared inside the crystal.

The vertical eyes are the same size as ordinary people, there are no whites of the eyes, and the pure black pupils make people feel as if the soul is about to come out of the body at first sight.

"It's ...... Eyes of Negative Energy!"

"Spells that can only be used by wizards who specialize in negative energy!"

The apprentices behind whispered, looking at Lei Lin's gaze, and they were also a little more hostile and jealous.

Wizards who specialize in negative energy, the zero-level spells they use tend to be more lethal, and they are more bloodthirsty and ferocious, and they are generally representatives of dark wizards.

It's understandable that ordinary wizards look at each other with hostile eyes.

Lei Lin had no intention of explaining to the people behind him, and he crushed the crystal with force in his hand.

The black vertical eyes split in two and floated towards the two openings.

As the vertical eyes entered the hole, Leylin's eyes gradually closed, and Viscount Jackson stared at Leylin with some nervousness, and the whole team was silent, only the sound of burning torches continued to sound.

After a few minutes, Leylin opened his eyes: "In the cave on the left, there are only a few mutant lizard-like creatures, and at the end is a huge rock. ”

"As for the right side, all I know is a downward passage, and my spell was defeated as I continued to go deeper!"

"In that case, let's go down together!" Jackson pointed to the hole on his right.

The cave on the right was even darker and damp, and Leylin touched the dirt wall next to it, and a few moss-like things were all over the walls, wet, "So damp!"

Lei Lin's heart moved slightly, his face remained unchanged, he took out a white hand towel from his arms and wiped his palm clean.

"I'm afraid I'm very close to the lair of those monsters!"
