Chapter 170, The Caveman
Chapter 170: The Caveman
Alexia increased the speed of the operation of the fighting qi in her body, preventing all possible accidents, and the crystal energy lamp in her hand was instantly extinguished, in the dark, the light can indeed bring people a sense of security, but it is more of a conspicuous target.

There were a few panicked voices in the darkness on the opposite side, and then a few rocks fell over, and Alexia easily blocked it, and the strength of the attack was only equivalent to the bronze level, and there was no threat.
Tvelette instantly fell into his hands, and Alexia raised her hand to fight back, but was caught by Levy.
Levi shook his head slowly at her.
Alexia frowned, didn't insist on fighting back, and didn't attack again on the other side.
Lévy took a deep breath and the figure vanished from place. Alexia finally discovered this time, and it wasn't because of the illusion that the speed was too fast, but because it was really an instant disappearance.
Dozens of meters away, Levi's figure appeared behind a gray humanoid and pinned the caveman to the ground.
The creature resembled a human, with a very thin body, but a large head, two claw-like hands trembling on top of its bare head, and a pair of black eyes purring.
"Looks like this guy is timid. Levi said to Alexia as she walked by.
"Hmm. Alexia glanced at the caveman closely.
"Gurgling, purring......" The caveman danced and desperately wanted to say something.
Levi scratched his head, "What does it mean?"
"I'm going to talk to it. ”
Alexia crouched down and exchanged gestures, expressions, and some signifiers with Gollum for ten minutes.
"It means, it's the scout of the tribe. Didn't offend us and asked if we could put it away. Alexia said, standing up.
"And the tribes?" said Lévi in surprise.
"Most of the Abyssal Planes aren't too big, if this tribe has survived here for a long time. There should be a lot of valuable information, and I think it's necessary to go over and take a look. Alexia said after a moment's silence.
"You're the captain, you have the final say. Levi shrugged, "Do you want me to let it go?"
"Wait a minute. Alexia spoke to Gollum again for a moment before nodding, "I asked it to take us to its tribe." ”
Lévi let the caveman go, and Gollum ran away, only to be caught by Lévy.
"Warn him not to try to run away, not to use his brain. Levi said to Alexia with a four-legged grunt.
Alexia sighed helplessly. He made a vicious expression at Gollum and drew his sword and slashed at the cave wall, shaking his head in a trembling manner.
Gollum walks ahead. The two followed, and it kept trying to sneak away, but every time it just left half a meter more, it felt like a man's back, and it deliberately went around in a circle. In this environment. It's hard to go around in circles, but it's useless, and the first time it went around was discovered by Alexia, and then the two humans didn't look at it well.
"Is this creature so cunning or is this individual too cunning?" Levi said speechlessly, "It's still going around the road." ”
Alexia shook her head, "Regardless of the position, there is nothing wrong with this Gollum approach, choosing a balance between protecting ourselves and protecting the race, because it is not clear whether we are hostile to its people or not." ”
"That's good news. "Levi said. "This shows that in its opinion, our combat effectiveness is higher than that of their entire race. ”
Gollum, who was walking in front, stopped from time to time. It listens with its big ears against the rock wall, and sometimes knocks on the rock wall with a blue and red stone.
I hadn't done anything before, and it looked like it was coming.
Suddenly, the grunt stopped, a look of excitement appeared on his face, and then he became panicked again, and ran forward and disappeared into the darkness without hesitation.
Lévi didn't catch it this time, but followed closely behind with Alexia.
The slope of the passage rose rapidly, and at last it was almost vertical, and Gollum climbed up the rock wall with his hands and feet.
There were faint screams and the smell of blood coming from the exit of the passage.
"There's a fight. Levi scratched his head, "It seems like the Gollum tribe is being attacked." ”
"Let's go up and have a look. Alexia glanced at him and sped up to crawl out.
It was an irregular underground cavity, the fine fragments of moonstone at the top of the cave brought a subtle light, the humble dwelling of the cavemen was built on the trapezoidal rock wall, dozens of cavemen were running up and down, a huge elephant-like six-legged beetle wreaked havoc between the buildings, and a single step could step on a large hole in the caveman's house, the insect wings were like a pair of sharp blades, and at least two or three corpses had fallen under this pair of blade wings.
The already untidy tribe of cavemen is now even more messy.
Levi also came out of the hole in the ground and whistled, "Oh roar, it's a big guy again, help clean up the bugs or leave immediately, what do you decide, Leah?"
"I also want to ask for information. Alexia said, holding up Tvelette and giving the big bug a shot.
The black magic beetle suddenly felt a pain in its wings, and a hole was punched in the fragile feather membrane, and it immediately turned its gaze angrily to the direction of the source of the attack, and saw two humanoid creatures one size larger than the caveman, and immediately rushed over without hesitation.
"Come on, brave Sword Emperor. Under Levi's gaze, Alexia quietly stepped back, exposing Levi to the Dark Beetle.
"Sooner or later, we'll have to settle this account. Lévy rolled his eyes, his hand resting on the hilt of the knight's longsword and facing the giant bug.
The Black Devil Beetle moved extremely fast, and the distance of more than two hundred meters was pulled in just a few seconds.
Levi squinted, counting down the distance in his heart, and when the black magic beetle approached twenty meters, a gray shadow flashed, and the blonde-haired swordsman left a faint afterimage in place because he was too fast, and then the person returned to the position of the dissipated afterimage. It's just that the sword in the scabbard is already in the hand.
The Black Demon Beetle stopped for a moment, and then there was a crashing and breaking sound all over its body, and dark green blood splattered out. The hexapod and the head fell from the massive body, and finally the body continued to advance more than ten meters due to inertia, stopping a few meters away from Levi.
With a soft thud, Levi's sword was sheathed.
"This is my high-speed sword technique, Jueying. Seeing that Alexia was a little distracted, Levi explained.
“...... Very good. Alexia nodded.
After seeing Levi's stunning, Alexia felt that her flash swordsmanship had evolved direction. But it's not exactly the same.
Lévy's path is a truly balanced path, one that has no flaws in attack and defense, strength and agility, speed and dexterity, technique and art, and reason.
But it wasn't for her.
The cavemen cowered in corners and burrows, daring to emerge only to look at the massive corpse of the black magic beetle. and the two humans who looked a little small next to the corpse.
A caveman elder with more wrinkles on his face and head, holding a wooden staff, trembled up to the two men, waved the staff in his hand, and said loudly in a hurried voice: "#¥......%......&¥*......"
"What is he talking about?" Levi looked at Alexia with a cold sweat on his head.
"Why are you looking at me like that? I don't know!" Alexia glared at him.
In the end, the task of communication was given to Alexia.
Alexia pointed to the corpse of the Black Beetle, then to herself and Levy. Shook his head. Then use your hands to make obstacles and climb over the meaning.
Tossed for a while.
He meant to thank us for helping them end the nightmare that had plagued them for decades, and at the same time to ask us what we were trying to do. I told him we were just passing through here and wanted some informational help. Alexia said to Lévy.
"Oh, and then?" asked Levy.
Alexia turned to the caveman elder, first with her hand to indicate the underground tromen's tribe, then to the caveman elder himself, and then reached up with one hand and raised it with the other. The caveman elder didn't seem to understand, so Alexia changed her way of signaling. Then the expression on the face of the caveman elder became serious, and he asked the other cavemen to take a bundle of knotted rattan out, and the caveman elder carefully identified the rattan with his hands, and after a long time gave Alexia a reply, Alexia expressed it in many ways in order to prevent misunderstanding, and finally confirmed the meaning of both parties.
"I asked him where the lord of this plane was and how to get there. Alexia said to Levi, "They still use the ancient knotted rope way of keeping accounts, and the historical records of a tribe can only be read by the elders, and the history of their tribe has reached the ashes ruins at the center of this plane, but not from the surface, but from the ground. If you go underground, you're going to pass through a fire that flows like water, and then you're going to swallow everything, and if I'm not mistaken, these two places are supposed to be lava and quicksand. ”
"It seems that the monsters underground are relatively easy to deal with, and I don't know how many overlord-level demons like the Abyss Demon Dragon are on the surface, as long as we encounter one, our journey will be greatly hindered. "We might be able to go a little faster from underground." ”
"Well, agreed. Alexia agreed with Lévy.
The caveman elder also wanted to keep Levi and Alexia. But seeing how skillfully they decompose and roast the smelly corpses of insects, Alexia decisively chose to leave immediately.
After leaving the troglodyte tribe through a small gap in the top.
"So you're afraid of bugs. Levi smiled at Alexia, who had a stiff face.
"I—I'm not afraid! I just hate it!" Alexia retorted loudly, waving her hand.
"Oooh. Levi pulled out a crispy biscuit, "Actually, I still want to taste the taste of the roasted bugs here, I've eaten the sloth mites from the Hiram grassland, the fried ones are particularly delicious, crunchy, and chicken-flavored." ”
The sound of the biscuit being snapped in half made the girl subconsciously tremble, and then Lévi saw Alexia turn to her murderous little face.
Rattle, unconsciously, chewed on the cookie that had been crushed into pieces, and his voice was clear in the silence of the underground passage.
"You give me death!"
"Hey, hey, why do you hit someone if you don't say anything!" )
