When the monster that had lured the sarcoma around the caves before, the two of them weren't running around. Perhaps Saf didn't have a clear purpose, but Shul never forgot the mission of the trip.

According to the dual positioning of the location of the emerald light and the orientation of the corpses in the cave, plus the confirmation of the place where Saf heard the sound before, Shur has basically locked the location of the emerald light, which is this underground cave area.

Therefore, when the ** sarcoma monster was in the scene, Shul was always going around the area, not letting go of any clues.

His efforts were successful, as he found the traces left by intelligent beings - a medium-sized wheel about fifty centimeters in diameter. Although the wheel has been cracked and scrapped, it can be clearly seen that its texture is stone, which is obviously a style only in the pioneering era, and both the shape and texture are quite ancient, it can be considered that this is the vestiges left by the first generation of Lionheart's era.

He hadn't forgotten that the reply he got when he asked Luna for answers was that the first Lionheart had sent someone to transport the fragments to the underground cave, and since it was a delivery, it was not surprising that a few replacement wheels had been abandoned during the transportation, and that the transporters had not been able to go back, so the target must not be far away.

With Saf, the two returned to Shure to find the location of the wheels and searched carefully, sure enough, there were not only wheels, but also some metal parts with obvious traces of artificiality around, if nothing else, this should be the last resting place for repairing vehicles on the way to transport metal fragments - in that era, wheels and axles were prone to problems, so it was necessary to repair them frequently- There may have been some other traces left at the beginning, but thousands of years have passed, and there are often demonic beasts coming and going around, and the traces of intelligent creatures have long since been annihilated, leaving only stones that cannot be corroded, and metal that has been corroded and shapeless.

Although there are no other traces to trace, and the nearby corpses have long been absorbed by the sarcoma monster, and even if they are not absorbed, they have been burned by the two, but this does not prevent the two from finding the target, they have already arrived here, and if they can't find the target, it will be too insulting to the name of the Shadow Chaser.

With the stone wheel as the center, the two carefully explored the surrounding caves, and sure enough, on the wall of another cave, they found a blocked passage. I don't know what this place was like at the beginning, but after thousands of years, the stone blocks blocking the passage and the passage wall itself have almost fused into one, and if you don't look closely, you can't find it at all.

The passage was very strong, as if it had blown up the rock wall directly, but in front of the gold-level warriors, it was not enough to hinder too much, and Saf and Shul joined forces, and soon, the stones at the entrance were emptied, revealing the dark tunnel behind the blockage. A foul gas came to the face, even through the mask, which made people frown, but fortunately, with the filter of the mask, it was not poisoned to death.

"Before you, behind me. Shul gave the order with a gesture, "The alert level has been raised to the maximum." ”

"Understood. Saf nodded, holding the big sword in one hand, the big sword was washed with water and repeatedly burned with flames, so you can hold it in your hand with confidence, well, although it still feels a little disgusting.

"Give. Shure still didn't speak, but gestured, holding a round orb in his hand and handing it to the female swordsman, who took the orb and gave her thumbs up in understanding.

Finally making sure everything was ready, Shul raised the mace, and divine light spilled from the top of Saf's head, forming a non-luminous energy barrier around her, a shield of light, and any energy attack would be severely weakened, depending on the caster's ability. This is the Dark Moon Temple's protective magic technique specifically for energy attacks, as for physical attacks, heh, what physical attacks can catch up with the speed of Shang Saf?

Taking a deep breath, Saph suddenly activated, and his body turned into a gust of wind that blew into the blocked passage.

The secret passage is actually not hidden at all, at least seven or eight meters wide and more than ten meters high, and in it can even gallop horses, and Saf will not be hindered at all when he runs.

Rushing into the long tunnel like lightning, the tunnel of more than thirty meters was fleeting, and when he was about to rush out of the tunnel, Saf suddenly raised his hand and threw the small round ball handed by Shule into the opposite side, and at the same time reached out to cover his eyes.

"Bang", with a slight explosion, the light attribute energy stored in the ball exploded, and the space behind the tunnel was filled with a sudden bright light, and the light energy was very strong, even if you covered your eyes, you could feel the strong light leaking in from the cracks of your fingers.

Throwing out the ball, Safu kept at his feet, rolled several times in a row, and rushed into the other end of the tunnel against the ground, and at the same time entering, the crystal energy light column on his shoulder quickly swept some sensitive parts in front of him, confirming that there was no danger to hide, before he withdrew his vigilant gaze and signaled safety, but his hearing was still not relaxed, always searching for possible crises.

"Chirp, tweet. "The rat cry came from the tunnel into Shul's ears, which was an agreed safety signal. Shure replied with the same cry and walked slowly into the tunnel, but in the shadow of the tunnel, he pulled out two more small balls and placed them lightly in an inconspicuous corner. This is the simplest bright light trap, as long as there is a moving object passing through, it will emit a bright light like just now, paralyzing the movement of the comer, and can also alert the people inside that there are enemies outside.

"Password, forest spirits eat grass. Before he got out of the tunnel, Shur whispered a secret signal, in the dark, you must be so cautious, otherwise if the enemy comes in, the companions inside may die in vain.

"Safe. Saph breathed a sigh of relief, "There are no living beings inside, and no traps have been found. ”

"There is no external threat, and the alert level has been lowered to two. Shuer walked out of the tunnel and looked around by the light of the crystal energy lamp, this is a medium-sized karst cave of less than seven or eight hundred square meters, except for the passage he guards, there is no other entrance and exit, it seems that for thousands of years, this place has always been a confined space.

"However, no metal fragments were found. Saph said with some trepidation, "That's all I found." ”

The so-called these, in fact, are twelve white bones, and it is obvious that they are all human bones. Eight corpses lay neatly side by side in one corner of the cave, covered with some fabric decay, and the other four bodies fell in opposite corners of the other corner, three of them relatively close and lying down, and the last one was a little further away from them, and leaned against the wall, dying in a sitting position.

The two didn't discuss it at all, they first walked in the direction of the eight corpses, and before leaving, they also left a trigger-type disposable magic circle at the mouth of the tunnel, once the magic circle was activated, it would emit a piercing scream, and it had no ability to hurt except for being frightened. However, what I want is to be scared, so that I can remind the two people inside that there are creatures passing by, so that they will not be locked in the tunnel and unable to leave.

"All eight of them died as a result of severe trauma. Saf stood upright and kept on guard, Shure knelt down on one knee next to the corpse, even though he was already blocked by protective clothing, he still carefully put on his gloves and gently played with the white bones on the ground, "This person is really miserable, five heavy injuries, four broken chests, a fractured right arm, a fractured pelvis, a crack in the skull, and finally should have died of internal bleeding caused by the puncture of the internal organs by the sternum, did he offend the goddess of fate, or fell from a hundred-meter-high cliff." ”

"And this person, well, it seems that they have been attacked by demonic beasts, and there are unhealed tooth marks on the bones of the right forearm and left thigh, let me take a look at this tooth mark...... I don't know, I guess if I want to confirm, I can only hand it over to Miridy. However, judging from the size of the tooth marks, it was a carnivorous beast that attacked them, medium and large, probably about the same size as the sword-tailed tiger, well, the sarcoma monster just now seemed to be about that big at first. ”

"It can't be the same one. Saf never looked down at the body, and kept looking around, but his ears were not idle, and he was always listening to the results of Shure's autopsy.

"Don't make a fuss, it's at least five or six thousand years, and they're not mythical beasts, they can live that long. However, although they are not the same species, they may be of the same family, and they have always been entrenched in the vicinity, and this cave area has been their territory for thousands of years. Of course, it is also possible that the two have nothing to do with each other, at most they are similar in size. ”

"So, the inhabitants of the empire broke into the territory of this group of demonic beasts in the first place, and they were attacked by demonic beasts, so they all died here?"

"I'm sorry, they didn't tell me, why don't I ask them next time?" Shuer said casually nonsense, while examining the eight corpses, although the injuries were different, but they were relatively similar, they should have been attacked by demonic beasts and died.

It's not surprising at all, the underground cave system, but unlike the other world on the ground, it is no safer than the wilderness, fierce magical beasts can be seen everywhere, and people who accidentally break in often become a delicacy in their mouths, even if these well-prepared and heavily armed humans have not escaped their minions in the end.

It is completely conceivable that these soldiers or mercenaries who were sent by fate sent fragments, when they camped nearby to repair vehicles, were suddenly attacked by the monster and suffered heavy casualties, and had to retreat to this space without an exit, blocking the entrance and exit, so as to barely fight for a chance to breathe.

"If that's the case, why did the four of them die here? It stands to reason that they shouldn't have disposed of the bodies of their companions, rested and then fled back to the ground?" Shure walked over a little puzzled, "Well, the remains of many weapons and armor are indeed combatants. ”
