As Ian cleared the demons outside the mouth of the target tunnel, the members of the investigation team immediately landed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as Bartlett landed, he quickly drove the rest of the people into the tunnel, and immediately greeted Ian at the entrance of the tunnel.

"Is it safe for now?" Miss Julie asked cautiously as the outside light was blocked by the rocks and silence fell around her.

"Not yet, this tunnel is not without demons, especially beware of the overhead. Ian shook his head and walked inside, as he was used to seeing everything with his mind, the darkness that could not be seen affected him in the slightest.

"Overhead?"

Betsy unfolded her palms and lit a flame, so that the dark place finally had a faint light.

"I've found some slender monsters in this tunnel, and they're used to lurking on the roof of the tunnel, attacking intruders in their territory from the top down. ”

"You mean, this is some kind of devil's nest?"

Betsy couldn't help but look up, and Miss Julie on the side suddenly shuddered. Regardless of the world, most women have a disgust and fear of insects.

"So to speak. ”

Ian nodded and continued on his way. It's not that he doesn't want to care about the emotions of the two ladies behind him, but he doesn't have a lot of time at this time. Because they've been in the ground for almost a day, and in a few hours it's almost night.

Demons are creatures that are completely ferocious at two levels, day and night. Although I don't know if these underground demons will also be affected by day and night, in Ian's opinion, who has always been cautious, it is better not to be too optimistic about himself and others in such a large sea of demons.

So, the group began to rush forward, hoping to secure a hidden resting spot that they had discovered before it got to Ian before dark.

During this time, Mr. Lawrence, as a prisoner, tried to make a mess and escape, but whenever he subtly mobilized the power of his mind, there would always be a sword scabbard striking at him, which would make him suffer so much pain that he would not fall unconscious.

This really didn't make our Mr. Lawrence understand. When mobilizing the power of the mind, it is just discovered by the rest of the capable people, why is it that it is discovered by this mortal sword master every time?

It's just that how does he know that since he crossed the gate of the Sage, Ian has been extremely sensitive to the flow of mental power, not to mention perfecting his own swordsmanship, after several breakthroughs in succession, he has more indescribable magical senses for these strange powers that are free from the world, even to the point that he can almost spy on people's hearts with this.

It can almost be said that, except for some special circumstances, as long as Ian is willing, all the unnatural mental power flow around him cannot hide from his eyes, and everyone's mood swings cannot escape his senses.

That's why he's so sure to keep a restless element with him, and our poor Mr. Lawrence is almost doomed to tragedy.

......

"Here we are. ”

After slaying the demons that stood in his way, Ian stopped in front of a marked tunnel entrance. This tunnel is something that Ian has been exploring with great difficulty. Its interior is extremely spacious, and the rear is closed so that they don't get caught in both sides while resting. The exit in front of it was just a narrow slit, and most demons couldn't pass through it.

In fact, it was supposed to be a nest of a demonic worm that was long enough to be a digit. It's just that Ian was really satisfied with this cave, so he directly slaughtered the original owner of this place "unreasonably" and kept it as a temporary camp for himself and others to rest for a while. It's just that the only fly in the ointment is that the corpse of this demon worm is still left inside, and it still needs to be disposed of......

"What is this!?"

Sure enough, when the two ladies followed Ian into the cave, they immediately screamed in unison.

And just as Ian was about to turn around and explain, he heard a third scream, the scream of a man.

"Asathius!"

Everyone immediately looked at Lawrence who exclaimed, but the feminine man didn't react at all, just looked directly at the slender demon worm that had already died in the cave, his face was as pale as paper, and his mouth was full of muttering: "This is impossible, this is impossible, it should obviously fall into a deep sleep, this is impossible......"

Bartlett pulled his shirt over, pointed to the corpse of the slender demon worm on the ground, and asked in disbelief, "What did you just say, you said this is Asathius?"

"It's definitely not Asathius, but since he's so surprised, then this thing must look very similar to Asathys!" Before Lawrence could reply, Ian, who had slaughtered the worm with his own hands, immediately made a judgment.

No one present knew better than him how terrifying a natural disaster was, and it was absolutely impossible for it to be so easily solved by him.

And just as he began to carefully examine this slender demon worm, which was similar to a centipede, but with a more distorted appearance, a few words instantly burst into his mind.

"Breeding, offspring!"

He exclaimed, "Could it be that this natural scourge can reproduce itself!?"

Everyone was terrified, and almost at the same time, they imagined in their minds the figures of countless natural disaster clusters.

"Lord Ian, you don't mean that these things will grow up to be natural disasters, do you?" asked Betsy.

"No, don't worry. Before Ian could speak, Master Clark denied it, "Even if a natural disaster can reproduce itself, its offspring generally cannot reach the height of a natural disaster. ”

"Not necessarily. ”

Lawrence, who had been silent for a long time, laughed miserably at this moment: "Assarius is our highest masterpiece, it can absorb not only the emotions of living beings, but also the geothermal heat. ”

"What do you mean?" Bartlett turned around, his hand gripping the hem of his shirt tighter.

"You know what, the world is conscious too. Lawrence looked up: "Ordinary demons can only evolve by sucking the emotions of living beings, but Assarius is different, he can directly absorb the power of geothermal heat and draw the consciousness of the world from it. ”

"As long as its body is connected to the ground, it can continuously absorb geothermal heat, strengthen itself, stir the leylines, and cause earthquakes. ”

"That's why we call it the Leyline Dominator. ”

And its descendants may not necessarily retain this trait. (To be continued.) )
