Chapter 30: The Cave

Although the fleeing Shorttooth Dogmen have tried their best to hide the marks left on the road, the effect of detecting magic is not ideal, or the clues that can be found by detecting magic have been carefully cleaned up, so it can be seen that the controller of this group of Shorttooth Dogmen monsters is definitely not an ordinary "Shorttooth Dogman King", but a person or other type of creature who has a deep understanding of magic.

"Shorttooth dog people are not able to have very high IQs and strategies due to their own racial limitations, otherwise they should have been listed as a dangerous species a long time ago. Zhou Yu explained to Ke Zhou while following Zhou Lugen, who kept looking at this and that in front of him. This week, Rugan was not only a magician, but also proficient in this kind of tracking technique, which Ke Zhou never expected.

"But these monsters are clearly too disciplined and organized. Because of this, I can also be sure of one thing, that is, there is definitely someone controlling them after this incident. Of course, it could also be some powerful species. Zhou Yu's thinking speed was very fast, which made Ke Zhou a little confused. But this is also a matter of no choice, after all, they have much more knowledge than Ke Zhou, once they connect some things, it is far beyond the reach of Ke Zhou, who relies on conjectures and assumptions to act.

"I still have to study after I go back...... Ke Zhou sighed, and with the help of Beibei, he reluctantly followed the few people running in front of him. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh again, whether it was the reserve of knowledge or the physical quality, he was completely incomparable to the people of this world.

The only two things I can say about the past are complete immunity to magic that directly acts on my body, and I can use simple formations.

"There is another thing I would like to ask, that is, can you create a formation by yourself?" Zhou Yu's words were a little surprised, and he also used honorifics, and it could be seen that he was indeed quite concerned about this matter.

"Yes, but it's just a matter of judging, shaping, and moving. It's like just now, you can judge the height of people, and then shape the clay on their floor into a simple wall. It's a pity that it's expensive and impractical. Ke Zhou replied without thinking, and this is indeed the case - although he has already figured out a little bit of the theory of the arrangement of magic arrays, the amount of knowledge he has now is like a novice who has just learned to become a beginner and can only calculate addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it a little, this kind of thing is really not suitable to say in front of outsiders.

"But even then, it's shocking...... Are you a traveler from another country?" Zhou Yu asked cautiously, trying to extract some news from Ke Zhou's mouth. Ke Zhou didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to nod sneeringly.

This person has already seen some clues, after all, this time is completely different from the time on the airship, if it was said that it was gathered together for various reasons at that time, so that he made a mistake in judgment. After experiencing some things together, he slowly felt that this person named Ke Zhou was not as strong as he imagined.

"If you want, when the matter at hand is over, go to the Zhou family in Xingdu. We need people like you, and we treat you with the utmost courtesy. This time it was not Zhou Yu who spoke, but Zhou Xiong who followed silently on the side. Of these people, it was indeed this bear-man-like monster that was the eldest.

Creating a magic array, for a long time, I have never heard of anyone being able to create a magic array, let alone be able to create a corresponding magic array according to needs. In this period when the development of magic in the Earthquake Continent was relatively stagnant, this terrifying talent had to stay.

If there is no way to leave him in the Zhou family, the only way is to strangle him here. If such a person can't be obtained by the Zhou family and enters other families, it will soon make that family rise rapidly. But thinking of a young dragon beside him, Zhou Xiong felt a chill again.

Dragons are still dragons after all, and even if this dragon doesn't know why he has never been dragonized and hasn't really moved his hands, he understands that it will be difficult to defeat this creature unless he has a mid-level curse magic or a high-level attack magic. But none of them have any, and the only one they can rely on is Zhou Yu, who is known as "defeating the enemy".

"I'll definitely visit when I'm done with the things at hand. Ke Zhou thought briefly and quickly answered. After the words just came out, he had already thought of the questions that the other party might ask. As the saying goes, "the puppet is not guilty of his guilt", judging from the current situation, there should be no people in this world who can create formations, or only a few people.

So this kind of ability that he has is a good thing for these people, but what about their "family"? Especially after the TM bear asked him a question, he can feel that this person values the family. If he said that he would not have anything to do with their family, it would probably lead to death, and it would also affect Beibei.

"Then after sending off the young master, we will wait for the arrival of the great master. After Zhou Xiong finished speaking, he didn't continue to ask. Several people followed Zhou Lugen's footsteps, walked for maybe dozens of minutes, and finally came to the mouth of a hidden small cave.

Ke Zhou was already panting and resting at this time, although he had the support of Beibei all the way, but such a long-distance medium-speed movement was not something that an ordinary person could bear.

"All traces that can be found are gone here, although there are some other subtle traces that lead in other directions, but the main traces lead here, in other words, it is very likely that this is their lair. Zhou Lugen looked at the ground, then looked at the cave, turned his head and said to a few people.

The cave is not large, and it seems to be just suitable for the actions of creatures like the short-toothed dog people, but not very suitable for human actions. Especially tall ordinary people like Ke Zhou or Zhou Yu...... Of course, not to mention the bear next to him, even if he is a little uncomfortable to enter on his stomach.

"This passage ...... It's too small. Zhou Yu sighed, but there was nothing he could do. Without knowing how deep the passage is, it's not a good idea to rush in. If you smash a passage, it is likely to disturb the enemy inside, giving them time to flee or organize a counterattack.

"Let's just destroy the inside...... With as much ...... as possible Big Offensive Magic ...... Coupled with the fact that I created a formation that closed the outside of the channel, it should be possible to basically destroy the inner channel...... Then we just have to wait on the high ground...... Wait for them to run out of some small holes in a panic, and then kill them one by one. Ke Zhou said as he gestured at the entrance of the cave, panting heavily, obviously not recovering from the long journey just now.

"No, I don't know if there are any villagers down there. Zhou Ting's girl's voice immediately overshadowed Ke Zhou's voice, and she seemed to care about this matter quite a lot.

"Even if there are villagers...... I guess I've been haunted by that curse too...... Even if you are rescued, you will immediately become a short-toothed dog man......" Ke Zhou rejected Zhou Ting's statement, in his opinion, this girl's idea was too idealistic.

"If the opponent can use curse magic, there is no guarantee that the opponent will not use space magic. If we lose this opportunity and let him run away using spatial magic, this terrible curse will plague many more people. Zhou Yu thought briefly and patted Ke Zhou's shoulder. "Besides, although Zhou Lugen does have the ability to easily blow up this hole, but the three caves of the cunning rabbit, not to mention that the other party is also a creature with a very good head, even if there is no space magic, we can't guarantee that we will be able to find all the holes. His words were more logical and convincing than Zhou Ting's, making Ke Zhou give up the idea of blowing up the cave.

So what do you do? Do you really want to go in and go around?

Not only Ke Zhou, but even Zhou Yu began to hesitate. Although for them, the children of everyone, especially for him who has been instilled by various stories of justice and righteousness since he was a child, going in and killing the other party is the first priority, but the level of security is too low, and he can't use it in such a small hole.

"Or I'll go first and explore the way, and if it's wide or there's anything inside, we'll let Zhou Lugen use sound transmission magic to inform you. Or directly use the ring to inform you, once you will come in to save people, twice you will be ready for battle and wait for us to come out, and three times you will be safe inside, go inside. The girl's thoughts were simple and violent, and they were exactly what she was dressed for—throwing knives, daggers, daggers, and close-fitting leather armor. This is indeed a person with such a style, with a strong sense of justice, but with a hint of violence and charm, which is difficult to approach but very appreciated.

Zhou Yu thought about it with his arms and nodded. Indeed, their size and weapons can be deployed in such caves, and it is estimated that there is no great danger.

"Then let's wait at the door, and by the way, help you watch the back road, so that you don't have to worry about this side when you come out. But then again, is that young dragon going to follow in?" Zhou Yu said, asking Beibei, who was holding Ke Zhou's arm.

Beibei shook his head and pushed Ke Zhou with his forehead, as if to say that if Ke Zhou didn't go in, she wouldn't go in. Zhou Yu had no choice but to sigh, greet a few people, briefly explain a few words, and then sit down to rest and regain his energy. Zhou Xiong directly pierced the surrounding trees and knocked them all to the ground, which can be regarded as clearing out a clearing.

The two looked at each other, Zhou Ting took the lead, and Zhou Lugen followed closely behind him, entering one after another.

......

By the time Ke Zhou recovered, the two of them had been down for a few minutes. They haven't sent any signals yet, and they are probably still exploring downward, and when their bodies recover, Ke Zhou can start thinking about what happened here again.

Everything seemed to happen as a matter of course, and tracking down this group of short-toothed dogs, although well hidden, still left some traces and tracked them all the way here. Although there are many small other traces on the road, it should not be a big problem, although the hole is small, but it should be a back door, and it is also suitable for defending against foreign enemies.

Thinking back to the situation just now, I was indeed a little frightened, whether it was their number, combat effectiveness, or the accuracy of their sneak attack on Zhou Yu and Zhou Ting, or the fact that after the monster came out, they only killed the villagers to eliminate the effect of that curse, so that Ke Zhou and Zhou Lugen were helpless. The intelligence of these short-toothed dog people is remarkable.

Intellect?

It seems that everything is slowly linked in Ke Zhou's brain at this moment. Immediately after, several fatal questions popped into his mind.

There weren't a lot of them who fled in all directions just now, but Zhou Lugen only found this way, so he tacitly agreed that they were heading towards this side after gathering. But this is not reasonable at all, how can they gather together when they are scattered and fleeing like that, and why do they leave such a big mark when they can clean up those small marks so cleanly?

Moreover, if Zhou Yu and Zhou Ting were monitored when they were tracking, and their sneak attack was premeditated, then what Ke Zhou and they did now was already under their monitoring?

"Zhou Yu, quick, the ring informs the two people inside, let them come out quickly!

Before he finished his words, he saw that the ring on Zhou Yu's finger had already lit up one step ahead. This is naturally not caused by Zhou Yu's quick reaction, it brings another signal:

"Extremely dangerous, request for support. ”
