Chapter 543: Underground Mutation
Benjamin was taken aback by this sudden turn of events.
What's the situation? Someone attacked, so why didn't the water elemental sensing method find anything when it swept over?
He didn't have time to think so much, so he could only quickly summon a wall of ice that blocked their heads. The other mages also chanted incantations, ready to fend off the sudden attack.
Knock!
Two muffled sounds came from the ice wall, as if a black shadow had hit it and bounced off. There were no cracks in the ice wall, and Benjamin was relieved to see this.
Luckily, this thing isn't amazing.
Looking closely, Benjamin found that the strange species that attacked them were similar to the bat carcasses underground, and it was possible that they were the same kind of magical beasts. However, to his strange point, when he swept over with the Hydro Elemental Perception Method, the bat was still empty.
These bats ...... They tricked the water element.
This is somewhat surprising.
After thinking about it, he summoned two ice blades, gave them the command to kill the bats, and released the ice blades. Bats fly fast, but with the fully auto-tracking ice blade, there's nothing they can do about it.
Benjamin could use this process to take a closer look at why the water elemental sensing method failed.
"Wait...... This thing is an elemental creature?"
However, after observing for a while, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and muttered to himself in some surprise. Unfortunately, before he could withdraw his magic, the two bats were pierced by the ice blades and fell to the ground, turning into corpses like their kind.
Benjamin stepped forward as well, looking back at their corpses.
He didn't look carefully just now, but now that he sensed it well, he found that the corpses of these bats were indeed different from ordinary magical beasts. Various complex elements are intertwined to make up its body and blood. From the outside, it is no different from a normal living being. However, according to the system analysis, their flesh and blood are not actual flesh and blood at all, but a collection of elements that are very similar in structure and magic, but are a hundred times more complex.
As a result, the water element cannot sense their form...... In the eyes of the elementals, they are just a mass of beings like themselves.
What the hell is this? Summoning magic in the true sense of the word?
The underground cave that was originally just an unintentional fall suddenly became mysterious again in his eyes.
"What's the matter? two monsters, do you need to pay so much attention?" the king asked, standing aside and looking at the corpse in confusion.
"It's not a Warcraft, it's supposed to be some elemental creature or something. Benjamin explains, "To be sure, this thing should not have been naturally formed. ”
The king was terrified: "Someone is controlling them to attack us?"
Benjamin shook his head and said, "Probably not." I think they might be in a state of ownerlessness...... In short, this place is indeed a bit weird, it should not be an easy place, let's be careful. ”
He picked up the bat carcass on the ground and prepared to go out and study it slowly.
However, at this moment, a strange fluctuation was suddenly heard in the distance. It was similar to mana fluctuations, but mixed with signs of the elements getting out of control. And as the fluctuations swept over the bat corpse, the corpse suddenly vibrated uncontrollably.
...... What's going on?
Benjamin's brow furrowed.
As if to echo the fluctuation, the corpse resonated and began to disintegrate. Colorful points of light escaped from the bat's pitch-black corpse and dissipated into the air. Soon, the corpses of all the bats turned into the elements and disappeared without a trace.
"What's going on?" said the king, who was also shocked by the sight, and hurriedly asked.
"I don't know, but ......" Benjamin suddenly raised his head, looked in the direction of the strange fluctuations in front of him, and said slowly, "I think there may be something going on ahead, go over and take a look!"
Everyone was stunned. And while they were stunned, Benjamin had already used his magic and flew forward.
"Protect Your Majesty. I'll get over first, and you guys move quickly!" he said, and his figure disappeared into the dark cavern.
The rest of the people looked at each other, a little at a loss for a moment.
"You...... You don't think this place is the real Valley of God's Forsaken, does it?" said the system in Benjamin's mind, in a skeptical tone.
"Maybe?" said Benjamin's expression, "the terrain is strange, and there are elemental creatures that are unheard of. Moreover, the letter also said that the queen had come to find the Valley of God's Forsaken. ”
"That'...... Your key to the Valley of God's Forsaken, does it react?"
Benjamin was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered the bracelet he got in Border Desert City.
It's not something particularly heavy, so he always carries it with him. At this moment, he immediately took out the silver bracelet, held it in his hand as he flew, and poured spiritual power into it.
Unfortunately, nothing happened.
"You see, this is certainly not the Valley of God's Forsaken. ”
Benjamin shook his head and put the bracelet away.
Truth be told, he's been through so many places that could be the Valley of God's Forsaken. From the Candela Mountains to here, the bracelet has not reacted at all, and he can't help but wonder if the "key" is true.
But...... What can he do about the things in the legends?
There was another fluctuation in front of him, and Benjamin came back to his senses and sped forward again.
In any case, this place is certainly not simple. And this fluctuation, he thinks, may have something to do with the actions of the queen's side. Everything was so weird here, he had to get there as soon as possible to see what the Queen was up to.
Because of this, he can only leave behind the large army, who let their speed be too slow? More than twenty mages should be enough to protect it.
After about two minutes......
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, come out quickly! If you continue like this, you will die!"
Swiftly weaving through the fluorescence of the moss, Benjamin looked up and saw that something different had finally appeared in front of him. At the same time, such a panicked word also faintly came.
Suddenly, Benjamin's spirits perked.
Finally let him find it!
Using the water elemental sensing method, he could see the scene ahead from a distance.
There were about a hundred mages, huddled in the narrow cave, each with a panicked look on their faces. In front of them, there seemed to be an invisible barrier that kept all the mages out, as well as Benjamin's senses.
As a result, he couldn't sense anything on the other side of the barrier. And on the side of the barrier, in the crowd, he did not find the queen.
Queen...... Is it over there?
Benjamin hesitated. He didn't want to fly straight over, as he would probably be discovered by the mage, but if he hid from a distance, he wouldn't be able to sense everything clearly with the water element alone.
But he also guessed what the queen might be doing.
Another strange ripple, emanating from the barrier. Benjamin could feel that the volatility was much stronger than before. For some reason, he could even feel a sense of decisiveness in it.
The voice of the mage's persuasion has been heard from afar.
"Your Majesty, Ikor needs you! Don't be impulsive!
"Break this barrier quickly, bring Your Majesty out ......"
From these voices, it could be heard that the mage at this moment was extremely flustered. Benjamin looked at the glimmer of light in the darkness ahead, and couldn't help but take a deep breath and land on the ground.
He walked over slowly.
