Chapter 52: The materials are complete
Standing at the bow of the boat, Abner stared into the distance, thinking that the island that Miss Gwen said was really 'small'.
The radius is only two or three miles, and there is no vegetation on it, it is more like a big reef than an island.
Such a small island, in the vast sea, is like a grain of sand in the desert, unless there is a guide, otherwise even if there are coordinates, Abner does not think that he can find it quickly.
After instructing the sailors to anchor the Alenheim in a nearby reef-free sea, Abner, Hugh, and Miss Gwen left the ship and landed on the island, and soon came to the back of a huge rock under Miss Gwen's guidance.
Miss Gwen pointed to the ground under the rocks, where there were obvious signs of sand and landfilling, and said to Abner and the others, "The cave is here, and I put a straw mat on the entrance of the cave after I escaped last time, and covered it with some dirt. ”
Abner examined the area around the rocks, and instead of digging the hole, he opened his Pure White Eye and used his 'Scene Backtracking' ability to scout.
After making sure that no one else was coming, he lifted the mat covered with dirt, and suddenly a black hole was revealed in the ground.
Lady Gwen glanced at Abner, then stepped into the cave with a gun in one hand and a lantern in the other. Abner and Hugh followed, one holding a cane and a sword, the other holding a revolver, guarding against possible surprises.
The cave has a downward slope overall, which is not too steep, but there is a danger of tumbling if you accidentally slip and fall.
After walking through the first narrow passage of about 100 meters, Abner's eyes suddenly opened up, as they came to a large, naturally formed karst cave.
This cave is four or five meters high, and it is still sloping downward, but except for the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, you can't see the end in the rest of the directions, and you don't know what it is.
"There are a few other passages on the left and one in front, but they're all dead ends, and there are monsters at the end, but I cleaned them up the last time I came." Miss Gwen pointed to the right as she introduced, and added, "Only the right side will be connected to a downward passage!" I don't know exactly where it leads, though, as we were attacked by a dragon's eye python last time on the way. ”
Miss Gwen had read this passage in the book "Cave Adventures", so she just nodded, and did not speak.
"Are you going to look to the left and front?" Miss Gwen didn't know that Abner had what she wanted, and asked on her own initiative.
Abner and Hugh looked at each other, then shook their heads with a smile and said, "Let's deal with that dragon-eyed python first!" "The main purpose of his coming here is for the main material of the 'Keeper of Knowledge', and the rest is not important.
"Then follow me! Also, be careful, that brute is very good at sneak attacks, maybe it's already spying on us now! ”
With that, Miss Gwen walked cautiously to the right at two o'clock, carrying the lantern.
After traveling for nearly half an hour, Abner and the three came to the edge of the cave, which was surrounded by thick stone walls, and only a passage about two meters high and four or five meters wide descended.
"It's a long passage, and I don't know how deep it is, we only walked a little way last time before we were stopped by the brute." Miss Gwen repeated her previous words, her tone full of resentment, and it was evident that the closer she got to the place where her companion had been killed, the more she could not calm down.
Abner didn't persuade her to make any big sense, and if his friend was killed, he would still be unable to hold back his anger. What can help the other party at this moment is to help her take revenge!
This time, Miss Gwen didn't let her go to the front again, after all, she was just a Sequence 9 'warrior', and she didn't have any powerful transcendent items, so it would be difficult to protect herself in the event of a sneak attack.
Therefore, Abner took the lead in the passage with his cane and sword. As he walked, he opened his Pure White Eye for a second or two from time to time, using 'Scene Backtracking' to see if there was an ambush.
After about 10 minutes of progress, Abner suddenly heard an empty groan of "...... Loda" in his ears!
The ethereal but poignant voice instantly covered the entire passage.
The voice was both tactful and quiet, but also cold and piercing, penetrating the soul.
Abner froze in place, and all kinds of information flashed through his brain, as if he had become an overwhelmed server, and it was overloaded and shut down in an instant.
Fortunately, Abner often experienced this state when analyzing items with the Pure White Eye, so he recovered a little more in the blink of an eye, and immediately opened the Pure White Eye.
At this moment, a huge blue snake tail quickly poked out of the passage, danced in the air, and whipped towards Abner, who had just recovered his strength.
Syllable!
At the last moment, Abner activated the ability of the 'Sea Breeze Hat', blew a strong wind from his body, and used the wind pressure as a shield to fight the opponent's snake tail!
After the snake's tail struck a blow, it was useless, and the monster lurking in the darkness could no longer hide its body, revealing itself in front of the eyes of the three Abners.
It was a large python more than 10 meters long, covered with solid scales, and in the eyes like a lava ball, a pair of vertical pupils were looking at the three of Abner coldly.
Miss Gwen and Hugh had also woken up from their brain overload at this moment, and they each held their weapons and looked at the huge python with fear.
Abner quietly breathed a sigh of relief at this time, the collision just now seemed to be evenly divided, but one side was deliberate and made an all-out sneak attack, and the other side was improvising and hasty, and there was still a big gap in this.
"This python is amazingly large, and it is only at the level of Sequence 7 at most......," he said, thinking so, Abner continued to analyze the opponent's weaknesses with his pure white eyes, and at the same time helped the 'Sea Breeze Hat', creating dozens of wind blades around him, and slashed towards the dragon's eye python.
For the flesh and blood body of the giant python, even if it has scales to protect it, it is a little unable to resist the cutting of the wind blade, and countless wounds were cut out of the body in an instant, and it raised its head in pain and hissed, and the coldness in the vertical pupils was no longer there, but completely crazy.
In terms of defending against the Wind Blade, it was not as good as the Earthbound Spirit left behind by Jane's father in the house in Beckland's St. George district.
The completely crazy dragon-eyed python not only slapped its tail at the position where the three of them were standing, but also manipulated its own blood flowing out of the wound into tentacles, pumping everywhere like a whip!
However, in terms of water control, even if the blood flows from the other party's body, it is not as good as a 'wind dependent'! Under the power of the 'Sea Breeze Hat', those blood whips that had been drawn from them instantly rolled back, and instead they were drawn to the dragon's eye python itself.
At this time, Abner closed the pure white eye, because he had successfully parsed the other party's 'seven inches', and condensed a wind blade to smash a scale at the back of the dragon's eye python's neck.
"Whew!" The vital point was hit, and a trace of horror flashed in the pupils of the dragon-eyed python, and it had lost its crazy breath at this time, and its body shrank, wanting to escape.
Seeing this, Abner 'unsheathed' his cane and sword, threw it into the air, and shouted, "Hugh! ”
"Understood!" Hugh, who had been waiting for an opportunity, jumped in understanding, caught the cane sword in mid-air, and then, with the help of the wind that Abner gave her, she jumped lightly to the neck of the dragon's eye python in three or two strokes.
After dodging a few blood whips that Abner didn't have time to control through 'prediction', Hugh grabbed his cane sword and plunged it into the python's 'seven inches'!
At the moment when the cane sword was inserted, the dragon's eye python's agile eyes instantly dimmed, and then the scales began to fall off layer by layer, and the entire snake body began to dehydrate and shrink, and it only lasted for two or three seconds before its huge body slammed into the ground.
At the same time, its aura was rapidly dimming, its spirit was disintegrating at a high speed, and its body continued to shrink.
The moment Hugh fell to the ground, with the coordination and balance of her body brought by the transcendent object, she landed smoothly on the floor of the passage, and then she took a sailor's hat from her bosom and put it on her head.
After a moment of vigilance, Abner confirmed that the dragon-eyed python was completely dead, so he cautiously stepped forward, gouged out a pair of eyeballs, and put them in the tin box that had been prepared long ago. In fact, the analysis ability of this pair of eyeballs is the most powerful thing about the dragon's eye python, but unfortunately its wisdom is not good, and it has never read a book, and its knowledge reserve is almost zero, so it can't exert the power of 'analysis' at all.
"Now the main materials of the 'Keeper of Knowledge' are ready, just wait for the 'Reasoning Student' to digest it, and I can be promoted to Sequence 7!"
When Abner's heart was jumping, he suddenly heard an irrepressible cry from behind him. He looked back and saw Miss Gwen kneeling on the ground, weeping bitterly. Her delicate face was covered with tears, but the smile between her eyebrows became more and more obvious.
Ever since her companion was killed and she escaped alone, the young lady had shown herself to be extremely strong, even if all the things that went wrong in her quest for revenge, she did not flinch in the slightest. At this time, the revenge was avenged, but she could no longer suppress the sadness and joy in her heart, and finally vented it. Although she didn't help much in the battle, it was enough to witness the death of the giant python that killed her friend.
Neither Abner nor Hugh spoke, and while letting her vent, he silently picked up the corpse of the dragon-eyed python, which was worth a lot of money except for the pair of eyes, scales, skin, and so on.
It took a while for Miss Gwen to adjust her mood, she wiped her tears, and said with some embarrassment, "Let you see ...... smile."
"Nothing, I can understand your feelings!" Abner waved his hand, not dwelling on the subject, but instead took the snakeskin he had just peeled off, and said, "This is the trophy promised to you when I notarized it before!" ”
Although the dragon-eyed python was very large when it was alive, it shrank very badly after death, and the snakeskin that was successfully peeled off was only two meters long. To put it simply, it's a parallel import......
"Thank you!" Miss Gwen was visibly stunned for a moment before reaching out to take it. Recognizing the importance of strength, she couldn't refuse materials that could help her advance. Even if she felt guilty because she didn't help much.
"Alright, now that we're done here, let's go down and see where this passage leads."
Neither woman objected to Abner's proposal, and they set out again, descending the passage of Panhuan.
In less than ten minutes, the three of them reached the end of the passage, where there was a large waterhole with a diameter of about five meters, and there was a nest next to the waterhole, which was piled up with a lot of debris from humans, apparently left behind after the death of the previous adventurer.
Abner looked and saw that most of the lair was covered with tattered clothing, as well as ordinary weapons such as swords and muskets, as well as many bags and backpacks.
Only on the deepest stone platform did the jelly-like crimson object and the jellyfish-like blue watery object next to it attract Abner's attention.
"That should be an extraordinary trait for Jones and Roy...... They were my companions before, one was a 'sailor' and the other was a 'hunter'...... It's a pity that they were all killed by that python. Miss Gwen said in a low mood.
Abner looked back at her suddenly, then narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully, "You actually know the extraordinary characteristics?!" ”
You must know that even the second generation of extraordinary beings like Hugh only knew about the existence of extraordinary characteristics after meeting him.
