Chapter 174: Discovery (II)
Tick, tick!
Water droplets continue to fall from the top of the cave and fall to the ground with a crisp and pleasant sound.
Pap, pap, this is the sound of the little devil's footsteps just past, very soft, but it can still be heard.
Luo Meng hid his body in the crack of the stone, his breath was deeply restrained, and he didn't dare to be careless, and looked at it.
This is the entrance of a cave with artificially carved traces, and bright light is constantly spreading from the cave, and this light even illuminates a large area outside.
On the rock wall outside the cave, there are still several shiny stones hanging on each side, which are very bright under the background of the light inside. The entrance to the cave has been carved into the shape of a square door that looks smooth on all sides.
There was a constant cacophony of noises coming from the cavern, accompanied by a jumble of talking, and a burst of low gasps and snapping sounds of beasts.
Occasionally, the wind blows out of the cave, bringing out a breath.
This kind of aura has the power to make ordinary people perceive danger, and as a druid, Romon has even greater sense. He frowned, keenly aware that this strange aura was the kind he had sensed on the edge of the crack. It seems that the source of the anomaly of the gap has been found by him.
At this time, Romon was wearing a dress obtained from the thieves' union, which had the ability to freely change its color according to the different environments like a lizard, because the position he was leaning on at this time was a one-color rock wall, so this dress also completely disguised him as a raised rock, and the color blended with the surrounding environment, making it difficult to find at a glance.
Not far from Romón, near the door of the cave, a creature about the size of a child of five or six years old walked upright. It resembles a human, with well-proportioned proportions, hands and feet, but on its back, it has two flesh-colored wings the size of a baby's arm, which is absolutely impossible for humans.
Its face was like that of a child of five or six years old, and it was quite cute, but the two pointed teeth that bared out were very strangely attached to the lower lip, showing downward. There was not much hair on the top of his head, only a white layer, somewhat like a human plate, and in the middle of his thin white hair, two things that resembled the horns of a sheep and a cow grew there very obviously.
This strange little creature had just walked in front of Romon when in front of it came a small thing of the same height and size, and after the two little monsters met, they stopped and muttered in a low voice, although Romon was not too far away from their position, and he could definitely hear what they were saying with his ears.
But the problem is, I heard it, but I didn't understand it!
Luo Meng narrowed his eyes and looked at the little monster that had just walked in front of him, no, more precisely, it should be a little devil, and the shock in his heart had not dissipated until now.
After a brief moment of surprise, he had compiled the simple information about the legendary creature that had been stored in his mind.
This is the last time he stumbled upon it when he was rummaging through other information in the mage's library. In that book, it was recorded that this was the lowest level monster in the demon world, and it was very small, they were only about half the height of a human, but they had very strong combat power. It has wings, can fly, is good at sneak attacks, looks cute on the outside, but in fact, it is extremely vicious and cannibalistic, has a strong aggressive surname, and occasionally a few will be called out by mages in the human world, acting as messengers or scouts.
Most of the little devils live in the space of the deep demon world, and occasionally because of the gap in time and space, they will crawl to the outside world because of their own nature.
"I really didn't expect that there was a little devil here...... Luo Meng couldn't tell what it was like at this time, although he understood the hidden dangers in the cracks, he became more and more confused. At this moment, he finally knew what the demonic plague was.
After hesitating, Romon began to observe with his spiritual eyes.
You must know that in terms of strength, the spiritual eye is also a kind of energy, which will be detected by a keen being, but now, I can't take care of it.
In a moment, a red light appeared on the two little demons, which was an evil aura.
Last time, the spiritual eye had already fused the effect of "detecting aura", so, for a moment, the strongest brightness of the aura, also emerged, and after a while, a symbol appeared again, in the body and mind of the little devil.
This symbol was complicated and dark, and when Romon saw it, he was taken aback and withdrew his light, although he did not understand what the symbol meant, but he knew that it was not a good thing.
However, the strongest brightness of the aura just now also emerged.
Level 1 or 2 professional strength?
It turns out that the power of the little devil is only this power?
There is not much essential difference between them and humans!
Instead, Romon was relieved.
Hearing the constant noise in the cave, Romon took a deep breath and cautiously slipped into the cave while the little devils patrolling the door were staggered.
When I went in, I found that outside the cave where the sound came from, there was actually a passageway-like space, and there were some stalagmites growing in this space, all of which were tall and stout, staggered, and Romon carefully walked through them.
And from time to time, there are little devils, walking back and forth in this space, some as if they are patrolling. Their actions made Romon more and more curious, and he was eager to know what kind of scene was in the cave inside.
The stalagmites were next to each other, all the way to the edge of the entrance to the cave inside, on both sides, and they were all one by one, this scene couldn't help but remind Luo Meng of the fruit trees he planted, it seems that these stalagmites must have undergone special treatment, otherwise, it would not be possible to be so coincidental and arranged so neatly.
He was agile, and although there were little devils patrolling the space in this aisle, they didn't notice him.
Almost lurking, he walked through the doorway, which was almost more neatly sculpted than the one in front of him, and then, Romon's eyes suddenly opened up.
At this time, he found that the space inside was very large, unimaginably large, if the cave he saw just now could be described as a palace, then this cave at this time could only be described as a dungeon. It's big, it's so big, so big that Romon can't even imagine that a cave can be so big, it's really amazing.
However, it is not all empty, on the contrary, in the middle and on both sides of the cave, there are many stalagmites that are so tall that they can only be described as stone towers.
Near the door, there were several stalagmites arranged in a staggered row, which Romon had seen when he had just probed, so after sneaking in, he quickly hid behind the stalagmites. The clothes that can change color at any time immediately helped him cover his figure.
And his heart was beating violently at this time. It turned out that the moment he entered, just a glance, the scene in the cave had already fallen into his eyes.
That kind of picture that he couldn't even dream of is now playing out in front of him.
A large group, like the outside, with horns on their heads, short bodies, and wings on their backs, were busy. There are probably thousands of them, or groups of three or five, or large groups of them, all busy.
On this side, with bursts of cheers, stalactites were smashed down and fell to the ground with a thumping sound, while on the other side, there were many little devils who were working hard to carve the stone wall.
It's a little unbelievable that these little guys, who look much shorter than humans, are so much stronger than humans in terms of craftsmanship. I saw groups of them standing below, or holding tools in their hands, fluttering their wings and hanging in the air, and the patterns sculpted were all beautiful.
Romon narrowed his eyes to see what they were sculpting, but his attention was soon drawn to a tall platform that looked very imposing.
This platform was probably a few hundred meters away from his position, a long distance, but even so, he could still feel the grandeur of this stone platform.
The stone platform is about 20 meters high and 200 meters wide, and this height and width are constantly increasing. The stone platform was made of square-ground stones, carried up by groups of little demons, in pairs. In the center of the stone platform, there is a stone staircase about ten meters wide that extends from top to bottom, which is very flat and looks extremely formal and serious.
And on the stone wall that has been built more than 20 meters high and more than 200 meters wide, a group of flying little devils, holding tools in their forehands, are working hard to carve something, Luo Meng took a closer look, and there are many very weird looking graphics where they have been carved.
"What are they doing here?"
When Romon saw this, he was quite puzzled.
It wasn't until he saw a large black skull statue carved out by the little devils that it dawned on Romon for realization.
"It's ...... Altar of Darkness?" A word popped into his mind.
The appearance of this altar is very similar to the one that Jacob once arranged, but it is much larger and more strangely complicated.
Jacob's one is just a pile of stones, on which some sacrifices are placed, and some skeletons are simply drawn, and this altar is being built on a very large scale. Not only is the altar built very seriously as a whole, but even the patterns on it are absolutely master-level.
Suddenly, a familiar-sounding cry rang out from beside the altar. Luo Meng raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look over. I saw that several big demons, which looked much larger than those little demons, were patrolling around with whips in their hands.
And at their feet, they stepped on a monster that Romon could not have imagined - the black spider monster.
These black spider monsters that had once run into Romong's territory to do strange things, at this moment, were actually carrying demons much smaller than them, walking around.
Looking at their appearance, they didn't have the slightest intention of resisting, and even, if they walked a little unsteadily, they would provoke a whip, and when they were whipped by the whip, they didn't even dare to move, and they just lay on the ground, pitifully letting these big demons whip.
Luo Meng really had a speechless feeling at the moment, this kind of legendary, very fierce monster, was actually tamed by the demons and acted as a mount?
At this time, he held his breath, did not dare to move anything, and even took his eyes back.
