Chapter Eighty-Four: The Cave
As soon as he entered the moat, a strange smell in the turquoise water resembled a seaside wind mixed with the decomposition of corpses, and this smell became thicker and thicker as Ivan dived deeper and deeper.
Ivan's fingers swiped quickly, his mouth silently recited a few tongue-twisting spells, and a white light attached to Ivan's mouth and nose, which was through a simple isolation technique, which could isolate the river water and not affect his own breathing, almost every middle and high-level mage apprentice would.
With the excellent physical flexibility and strong muscles of a first-order samurai, Ivan swam fast, and in a few moments, his feet touched the ground at the bottom of the river.
Because of the turbidity of the water, Ivan could only see five meters around him, and in his current sight, not far from him, he could faintly see one gray toumouth after another, hovering in a cave about one meter or so.
Stepping on his own steps, he clearly felt that when his toes took a step forward, an unusually crispy object was directly kicked and shattered by him, and in the next second of kicking, the smell that was more foul than the strange smell in the water exploded instantly.
Holding back the stench, Ivan took a closer look at the fragile object, which should be the gray-robed student who entered the secret realm of deathmatch a long time ago, looking at the familiar robe on the fragile object, Ivan made a judgment in his heart.
It seems that this characteristic of the largemouth is not the first time I have discovered, this gray-robed student who has been dead for a long time obviously also found the largemouth in the moat, and is familiar with the characteristics of the ability of the largemouth, so he dived into the water to explore like me.
I just don't know what injuries the other party suffered and died, Ivan thought, but because this corpse had been dead for many years and had been soaked in water for so long. The body was already swollen and white, and with Ivan's kick just now, he could tell whether it was a person or the familiar gray mage robe on the corpse.
Retracting his gaze, Ivan walked to the cave where the largemouth wandered, his body secretly vigilant, although he was not sure what kind of injury the corpse of the gray-robed student had been fatally injured just now, but he was sure that there must be some danger in front of him.
As Ivan approached, the largemouths that were wandering in the Run's Cave fled in an instant as if they had been frightened by something, and Ivan was the only one left around the cave.
The height of the cave is only more than one meter high, which is much lower than Ivan's height of more than one meter eight, and the depths of the cave are dark, and he can't see what lies ahead, a kind of gloomy and dim that can breed fear for ordinary people, so that Ivan is slightly depressed in his heart.
Bending his waist, Ivan cautiously advanced in the completely dark cave, dozens of meters in front of the cave was still a horizontal passage, but soon the passage route of this cave changed a lot, and there was a bend in front of him.
After walking a corner, there was a straight passage in front of him, and after walking for a while, Ivan found that the cave seemed to have been excavated in a circular winding way, which should be a theoretical structure of the Kaichang people in order to prevent the cave passage from collapsing.
In addition, the passage was dark and unclear, but through the touch of his hands and limbs against the walls of the passage, Ivan was able to recognize some traces of potholes.
Through the humane circular structure of the cave passage, coupled with the obvious traces of manual excavation around the passage, it can be judged that this cave should not be formed naturally, but by acquired manpower excavation.
So the people who excavated this cave should have been the corpse of the gray-robed student and his companions, where would the cave they dig lead to? What would be the unknown place? It's getting more and more interesting.
Just as Ivan was thinking this, after a corner, the end of the cave finally appeared in front of Ivan.
It's not a landslide, it's not a rock, it's an ordinary earthen wall that exudes the smell of earth, and he touches this earthen wall with both hands, Ivan thought to himself.
His right hand knocked the earthen wall, and Ivan raised his eyebrows, and the back was actually hollow, indicating that this earthen wall was not the end at all. Then Ivan touched the earthen wall inch by inch, his expression became more and more surprised, there was no artificial masonry construction on the earthen wall, or any signs of cave collapse......
It seems that the people who excavated the cave had at least one official mage who practiced earth-based spells, and this earthen wall should have been the mage's hand, but it is unclear why they made an earthen wall here.
It was to confuse the entry of some largemouth-like creatures, or to prevent the entry of moats, Ivan secretly speculated.
Under the pressure of the current, Ivan reluctantly stood up, and after adjusting the pressure from the surrounding water, he held the steel cross sword tightly in his left hand, and the muscles of his whole body worked together, and the cross sword cut ripples in the water, and the rapid force followed by the sword body smashed directly behind the earthen wall.
There was a violent vibration, and the earthen wall was not as thick and hard as Ivan had imagined, perhaps because it had been soaked in river water all year round, so the soil of the earthen wall became soft and fragile.
The sound of "click" was clearly heard in Ivan's ears, and then Ivan saw a few cracks in the earthen wall, and the water behind him flowed violently. It was as if at this moment, the silent and calm water finally showed its furious and violent appearance, and the terrifying force in the water was superimposed on the earthen wall one after another.
There were more and more cracks on the earthen wall, distributed like spider webs all over the wall, and with a terrible roar, the earthen wall was instantly turned into slag and roared out with the surging water.
Ivan's face sank instantly, but he couldn't react at all, and the force of the water behind him also rushed out directly with him, an insignificant person, with the sound of turbulent water and roaring water in his ears and in front of him.
I don't know how long I've been swept away by the current, and I don't know where Ivan, who was carried by the current, was very unlucky, and he tried very hard to maintain his consciousness and observe the situation of the current.
But luck is sometimes really hard to say, sometimes it's bland, nothing, sometimes you can pick up treasures when you go out, your luck is off the charts, and sometimes you drink cold water and stuff your teeth, which is very unlucky.
It was obvious that Ivan belonged to the third situation, and Yan's head was accidentally hit directly by an oncoming hard object, and his eyes were instantly plunged into darkness.
When Ivan woke up again, he frowned and shook his dizzy and aching head, and his whole body was even more sore and painful, as if his body had been madly trampled by some large beast.
"What is this place?"
