This cave ecosystem hidden beneath the ice sheet is quite unique.

Each of the caverns has a dominant group of creatures that occupies an overwhelming position in this space.

At this point Nicole hinted to Ronald.

It was she and her fellow investigators who had just escaped from a dangerous biome.

Ronald understands this.

Just think back to the state of the investigators when they first met them.

Ronald is well aware that the creatures here are definitely very deadly killers for ordinary people!

And that's exactly what happened.

After passing through a passage that clings to the surface of the Arctic continent but is topped by cold ice, the two of them arrive at another large cavern adjacent to it.

The surroundings were exactly the same pitch black as before.

But Ronald's ability to see beyond his conventional vision is still able to see everything around him.

Just a hundred meters in front of the two of them, a strange insect that looked like a mixture of scorpions and ants, and a bunch of shovel-like chelicerae on its body, was crawling back and forth on the ground in a swarm.

Ronald can even see the details of these guys' movements.

Whenever they crawl to a place, they touch the ground with their antennae, and then quickly turn around and continue searching the ground around them.

Very interesting way to do it......

Taking in this scene, Ronald couldn't help but turn his head to look at the investigator girl beside him:

"Nicole, I can see what they're doing right now."

"Is this still chasing you?"

The investigator girl pouted in disgust at the creatures, but quickly nodded to Ronald and replied:

"That's right, they're looking for us."

"There are two main ways for this creature to perceive the environment: one is close-quarters combat exploration, which can produce a very sensitive response to nearby heat sources; The second is to analyze the traces left by the enemy by licking the ground with mouthparts and analyzing the remaining components from the soil. ”

"That's what we discovered that made it possible to get out of here."

"So, where the hell are these creatures dangerous?" Ronald continued.

Nicole also goes on to explain the abilities of these creatures:

"In general."

"Although these guys are not very resistant to spells, they are very numerous, and there are too many of them to deal with. And under the premise of having the ability to move in groups, the shells of these creatures are hard enough, and even have lethal toxins on their chelicera. ”

"Once they are forced to get close by their body hardness or numbers, and then they are attacked, the injured person will soon be completely incapacitated due to the problem of toxins."

“……”

"I guess I understand."

After getting the details from Nicole, Ronald also made a decision quickly.

Neither he nor the girl beside him came to this underground world to open up human territory, so Ronald naturally did not intend to destroy the ecological environment here, or eliminate all certain dangerous creatures.

And take a step back.

Having understood the way these creatures explored their environment, Ronald already had the means to avoid it entirely.

If he can avoid fighting, then he is quite happy.

"Starting from the relationship between the whole earth and the sky, we will begin to form our cognitive ......"

Ronald softly recited the incantation from the Almagest of Astronomy.

Then, with Nicole's cry of surprise, the two of them rose from the ground, and then cut a regular arc in the air, continuing to march deeper into the cavern.

The creatures below them are also quite interesting.

Normally, most of the creatures that live underground are very sensitive to vibrations and sounds, but these ant scorpions are not sensitive to sound.

Ronald just climbed a certain height with Nicole and completely avoided the detection of these creatures. These creatures with strange bodies didn't even react to them in the slightest.

It is only in this special environment that this unique life will be born.

Think so.

Ronald walked forward, continuing to fly in the direction that the investigators had discovered.

Flying in the air, Ronald also had an insight into the general outline of the entire cave from a high vantage point.

There are not only two ways to enter this cave.

There are six tunnels around the cavern that can lead to other locations, and the remaining two of them have been actively sealed off by the creature using the dirt in the environment.

At the same time, away from the other side of the two sealed tunnels, the ant scorpions were digging up earth and rocks on their own to expand the original burrow.

Seeing this scene, Ronald immediately had a guess in his heart.

The place where the two blocked caves lead to is probably inhabited by a group of creatures that these ant scorpions can't deal with, so they take the initiative to block the road. And the place where they are now opening the way should be the area of the species that they can suppress and erod.

Even the kind of chelicerae with toxins.

It is also to facilitate the excavation of the soil that a relatively deformed appearance is generated.

This new biological system.

It's really an interesting thing that many people will be addicted to.

“……”

It's a shame that Ronald's appreciation for this ecosystem can't last long. He didn't come here to do research, and there were more pressing goals to deal with.

Carry Nicole through the air through this cave.

They quickly found the place where the investigators had entered in the air, and then plunged headlong again.

A creature that should be able to cause a lot of trouble to those who pass through here.

Just skip with flying spells so simple and easy to deal with.

Experience such convenience.

Nicole couldn't help but sigh at Ronald:

"Ronald, it's a foul to be able to fly!"

"If we had someone on our side who could fly, maybe the damage wouldn't be so severe."

Ronald also replied with an emotional expression:

"This is the spell flight I got after defeating the enemy in Springs, and it is indeed a very rare and useful ability!"

Ronald's emotion comes from the heart.

While many of the enemies encountered during this time have the ability to fly, the ability to fly is indeed rare for a wider range of people.

In the case of the people close to Ronald.

Even Kostat is not capable of flying in normal times.

The maid's recent ability to move in the air comes from a strange calendar-shaped spell that changes with the months, allowing her to control the air currents and fly only at certain times of the year.

It's like when you return to Kurpus with Ronald.

Because the month was wrong, Kostadt didn't have this ability, so in the first part of the return trip, both of them could only rush back to their hometown in the carriage honestly.

The top-level combat power on the mysterious side like this can only fly at a certain time.

It is enough to see the rarity of this ability.
