Chapter 148: The Killing of the Skeleton Soldiers
Zhang Tian looked at the dense group of moths in front of him, his scalp couldn't help but be numb, and throwing out the spirit weapon flying knife could only kill one or two giant insects, and there would be more to pounce on.
He thought for a moment, put away the spirit weapon throwing knife, summoned a battle axe, swung it, and chanted the magic spell "Alice!"
A black fireball appears out of thin air and shoots at the swarm of moths, hitting one large moth and exploding into many small sparks that quickly burn the other large moths.
The large moth that was burned by the fire flew wildly, quickly igniting the oily body of its kind, and the fire instantly spread throughout the tunnel, and the dark and ancient tunnel was as bright as day for a while.
The raging fire burned the entire passage and the insects screamed everywhere, Zhang Tian hurriedly hugged Alice tightly in his arms, and then conjured a water-based magic cover for the two of them.
The fire continued to spread, and the large moths that burned and burned on the ground piled up and caught fire, and the two of them felt as if they were in the middle of a volcano.
Alice put away the lighting magic she didn't need now, and conjured the only magic power she had to conjure a water shield over the two of them, and the situation was slightly better.
The temperature in the tunnel was getting higher and higher, and the air was still rapidly decreasing, and it became increasingly difficult for the two of them to breathe.
Zhang Tian hurriedly asked the skeleton soldier to push the moth on the ground out of the tunnel opening, and then followed Alice outside, if he didn't breathe in the air as soon as possible, he was afraid that he would either be burned or suffocated to death.
The skeleton soldiers were also roasted by the fire, and from time to time the skeleton soldiers were completely shattered and scattered, but fortunately, the skeleton soldiers were still coming out of the space-time gate.
The two finally approached the entrance to the cave, and the skeleton soldier pushed the hill of burning moth corpses all the way out of the tunnel, and they fell deep along with the mountain of burning insects.
Zhang Tian carefully pulled Alice to the edge of the tunnel, looked down, and saw those burning insect corpses flying and falling all over the sky, illuminating the scene below.
It turned out that there was an underground river below, and beside the river was a damp and dark forest, and there was a dense mist floating in the forest, and something could be faintly seen moving in it.
The scattered insect corpses burned one after another, allowing the two of them to get a general view of what was underneath, and they also found a simple stone staircase that led to the river valley, which may have been dug by the dwarves in the past.
The fire in the tunnel is also gradually decreasing, but there is no breathable air inside, and I don't know how long it will take to return to normal.
Zhang Tian looked at the dark tunnel and said to Alice, "The end of the tunnel goes straight to the other end of the continent, I don't know how long we will have to walk to find the exit, and we may run into the broken railroad track just now, it is better to go down from here and find the way again." ”
Alice looked at the endless tunnel with fear and nodded, "I don't want to go through this abandoned tunnel either, but there seems to be something in the forest in the valley below." ”
Zhang Tian smiled and said, "You meditate here, I'll go to the forest below to take a look, and remove the dangerous things." ”
Alice felt her mind dizzy for a while, so she had to sit cross-legged on the ground and meditate, slowly recovering her exhausted magic.
Zhang Tian also sat down to meditate and rest for a while, waiting for the cemetery to re-summon thousands of skeleton soldiers, leaving hundreds of his subordinates to guard his side, and then sent other skeleton soldiers to walk down the improvised stone ladder.
At this time, the whole valley was dark and deep, and the burning insect corpses were basically extinguished, and only a few places were still lit with sporadic flames, and there were many shadows and shadows moving outside the light.
Zhang Tian commanded the skeleton soldiers who went to the river valley to walk towards the forest, and when they entered the misty forest, the roar of beasts and the sound of battle suddenly sounded, and there were indeed dangerous creatures lurking in the forest, and there seemed to be a lot of them.
He summoned a space-time gate in the valley where the skeletons arrived, and asked the cemetery to constantly send skeletons out to help in the battle, as many as they could.
The battle had been going on for a long time, and the size of the forest was considerable, and he had to keep up with the battle by throwing in teams of skeletons to keep the battle going.
By the time the skeletons had completely occupied the damp forest, Alice's magic had already recovered most of it, and the two didn't want to rest here any longer, so they walked together towards the river valley below.
Alice conjured a lighting magic, and the two slowly walked down the stone stairs in the dim light, and it took dozens of minutes to reach the valley.
She stepped on the soft and wet ground, and said to Zhang Tian, "It seems that this is just a closed cave, and there is no way out." ”
Zhang Tian said, "When I was up there, I found that there was an underground river here, and I just thought that the river would not stop flowing, and there must be an entrance and exit, so we just need to flow down the river." ”
Alice asked worriedly, "There won't be any monsters in the river, and we don't know where the river is going." ”
Zhang Tian sighed and said, "I can't care so much now, and it's impossible to go back, I'll just summon more skeleton soldiers to escort along the way." ”
"Well, it's all up to you. Alice can only believe in Zhang Tiandao.
Zhang Tian asked the cemetery consciousness body to continue to summon the skeleton to come out, and then walked towards the damp forest with Alice, and just after entering the woods, he was wrapped in a thick mist, and he could barely see two or three meters in front of him when he released a large lighting magic.
The two of them carefully watched their feet, only to see that the forest floor was full of wet and soft mud, many strange insects hurriedly crawling, and it was also covered with scattered skeletons and bones and the corpses of unknown creatures.
They took a closer look at the corpses of these creatures, all of them were strange beasts that they had never seen before, although they were not magical beasts, but they were also vicious and hideous.
After making sure that there were no more living creatures around, the two stopped caring about the corpse and instead looked at the damp trees to see if it was possible to make a canoe or something.
The two didn't know exactly how to make a boat, so Zhang Tian asked the skeleton soldiers to cut down the torsos of several big trees according to the method of the people in Lijia Village in his memory, but he gave up immediately before he started building a ship.
These trees that grow in the shady and humid environment have also changed, and the overall tree texture is soft and elastic into a belt, and the tree body is also covered with various wormhole dwellings, and the tree and the insect have reached a beautiful atmosphere in perfect harmony in the micro-world.
When Alice saw the countless insect residents crawling out of the cut trees, she was so frightened that she jumped into Zhang Tian's arms and screamed, urging her to get out of the damp forest as soon as possible.
Zhang Tian was also shocked by the insect inhabitants of different sizes and types, each tree was as colorful as a kingdom of insects, and he could only stay away from these strange creatures.
The two of them exited the forest for a long time before stopping, and even felt that this forest and the black and silent forest had a fight, if it weren't for the suppression of the skeleton soldiers, I really didn't know how much danger they would encounter.
Peak also suddenly got out of the ground and pointed to the two of them, "There are so many disgusting big bugs down there, it's so ugly." ”
Alice, who was afraid of shrinking into Zhang Tian's arms, raised her head, and when she saw the frightened look on the dwarf's face, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "You are already a ghost, why are you still afraid of insects?"
"Hmph, I want you to take care of it. Peak grimaced, then drifted off into the distance.
Zhang Tian shook his head and sighed, "Don't argue with a child, let's get ready and set off, save some effort." ”
"Okay, everything is up to you. Alice obediently hid in Zhang Tian's arms and said.
Waiting for the skeleton soldiers to come out of the time gate spread all over the underground river valley, Zhang Tian asked the skeleton soldiers to go down to the river to try it, and found that in addition to startling many normal cold-water fish, there were no monsters to appear.
He told the skeleton soldiers to walk back to the riverbank, and after waiting for a while to estimate that the river was clear, he led Alice along the river.
The two of them were skeleton soldiers in front and behind, and the sound of bone friction made the surroundings a little angry, and there was an easy passage opened by the dwarves by the river, so the walk was quite smooth.
They drank river water when they were thirsty along the way, and when they were hungry, they took out some dry food from the material warehouse to eat, sometimes they would catch fish from the river and cook them with magic to eat, and when they were sleepy, they would take out their tents from the warehouse to rest.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the two even suspected that they were heading to the other side of the mainland, but there were not railroad tracks like a tunnel. (To be continued.) )
