Chapter Eighty-Three: The Earth Walking Dragon
'The earthwalker is usually 50 centimeters in size, and it has smooth green skin like snakeskin, and it is very tough. From the top of its head to the tip of its tail, there are sharp and hard barbs. Its teeth are so sharp that they can even leave bite marks on iron plates. ’
'The earthwalker walked on two legs, and its forearms were shorter. But it is extremely fast on all fours and on both legs. It has four long, pointed hooked claws on each forearm, four claws on each foot, each large enough to be inserted into a rock that is not too hard, and a tail that resembles a whip. ’
'How fast can you run on all fours or on both legs?' You say it can fly anything but fly, right? ’
Harris complained as he intercepted Muto's explanation to Olive Live.
'Yes! It can do basically everything but fly, for example, it can swim......
Everyone followed Muto's gaze to the dark and dim pool, and it seemed that something was lurking there! When everyone's mood was heavy, Muto continued.
Its eyes are very large and can focus light, so it can see any prey in the dark, and any target in the distance or near during the day is also pediatric to it. And they are very intelligent and like to hunt in groups. Earthwalkers are omnivores that will eat anything it thinks it can eat. ’
'Whew~! That's good! ’
Olive squinted at Harris, who was thinking about Fan Er again.
'Do you think you're meaty, or are you a miscellaneous?' ’
‘…… I love meat! ’
Harris said embarrassedly, clutching his head.
I think that's what the Earth Dragons thought too! ’
Olive really doesn't want to bother with this stupidity anymore!
'Well, then it's possible that they're hiding around us, isn't it?' We can't see them, but they can see us? ’
Infected by the dark and eerie atmosphere, she kept looking around, as if something was about to jump out.
'Rest assured, it's safe for now! ’
Olive is still able to pack a ticket for the situation here.
Since even the captain said so, then everyone can rest assured. ’
Muto slapped him subtly.
Then let's go the other way! Me, I feel like there's something in the water......
Mandena said in a trembling voice.
But the wind is blowing from there, look there. ’
Muto pointed to the junction between the pond and the cave wall, where it was revealed that one of the caves had been mostly submerged by the water, and only a few gaps remained. But it did come out of the cracks, creating ripples on the surface of the water.
Let's go the other way! Maybe it's not just this road that is windy? ’
Hamili also retreated, and the remaining three students of the Academy of Arts really stood on the united front.
‘…… All right! After we ran out of electricity for these two flashlights, if we hadn't found a way out, we would walk from the pond. ’
In addition to Olive and Muto, even Harris, the bastard, nodded desperately. Olive glanced at Muto, meaning to see if this is the person you chose! The latter smiled awkwardly and made a gesture to kick Harris in the ass.
……
'Do you mean that the earthwalkers live underground or on the ground?' ’
Olive Live, who was walking in front of the cave, asked Mutodao behind her.
‘…… The earthly dragons on the ground have long been extinct, after all, who can do it to humans! As for whether they can live underground, I can't actually confirm that they are earth-walking dragons. Or...... Is it another creature? ’
‘…… How do you know so much about the Earthwalker? Do you know of any other creature that has paw prints like that? ’
'I'm a huge fan of the Earthwalkers, so I don't know if it's another creature!' ’
'I think it's fine if it's an earth-walking dragon, but if it's some other alien creature!' Mutant creatures! We're miserable! ’
Harris couldn't help but ask.
His words frightened the three rookie soldiers for a while.
'Shut up! Harris, if I ever hear you say a word again, I'll let you go head in the pool! ’
‘……’
Harris immediately covered his mouth with both hands.
……
Olive and the others wandered around the labyrinthine damp cavern for nearly an hour, and the two flashlights were almost extinguished. If it weren't for Olive Live's domain skills, they might have lost their way.
‘…… Let's go! It seems that there is only one way to go! ’
So everyone had to change to a new flashlight, and walked back at the same time to the pond.
Let's rest for 30 minutes and eat something, and then let's start walking! ’
'Yes! ’
……
'That's it! Are you ready? ’
Olive moved herself and prepared to warm up and get into the water.
'Captain! I, I'm afraid there's something in the water! ’
Haishi Paixi whispered nervously.
I'll take the lead, and if there's a monster, they'll eat me first. Stop talking nonsense, give us the flashlight if you want to stay here. ’
'No, no, no! I, I'm going with you! ’
The other two artists were about to say something, but they were so frightened by Olive that they all shut up.
'You can swim, right?' ’
'Yes, yes! ’
'Yes!' ’
‘……’
Olive looked at the team members who had already warmed up, and waded directly into the pond without dragging mud and water. The team members who followed closely behind turned on all the flashlights and shone around, but fortunately these emergency flashlights were waterproof.
Luckily, the wind was always circulating on the top of this low underwater cavern, so they just had to keep their heads out of the water and swim forward carefully. After swimming for about 50 minutes, they finally saw the exit ahead, during which they also clung to the raised rocks on the cave wall and rested for more than ten minutes.
Olive and the others swam out of the cave and into a larger pool, which also contained pink fish, larger than the one in the previous pool, but thankfully they weren't meat-eaters, as they had no teeth.
Olive and the team left the pond, the ground was a little drier than the previous cave, and it was less sticky to walk on. Olive ordered everyone to rest in place, and she cautiously continued to explore the cave by herself.
The wet clothes on her body made Olive uncomfortable, especially since there was still a cold wind blowing here, but it was better to have wind than no wind, at least not to the outside. Olive quickened her pace, the cavern in front of her getting wider and wider, and the ground getting drier and firmer, and Olive kept walking until she noticed two giant carved stone pillars on either side of the cave 200 meters away.
By now, Olive had been suppressed to about 200 meters, and she walked quickly to the two stone pillars, and lost interest after a few glances at the crudely carved stone pillars. The field opened again and leaned forward, and Olive suddenly frowned......
