"Woo woo woo woo" Just as Di and his party were looking for a place to rest, Simon, who had been gagged all the time, suddenly let out a strong whimper, as if he wanted to tell them something.

"This guy seems to have something to say. Tammer looked at Simon, "Do you want him to speak first?"

Simon nodded vigorously.

Shi Di tore off the cloth ball in Simon's mouth, "Say something quickly!"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem," Simon coughed violently for a while, and then regained his strength to answer Shi Di's question, "I suddenly remembered that Lord Adra had mentioned that at the full moon of this month, he would use the first children that Catherine and I found, and it should be today, if you want to rescue those children, it will be too late to arrive in the gloomy cave tonight." ＂

Shi Di looked up at the sky, a full moon was already looming, today was indeed a full moon night.

"The night environment will have a strong buff effect on the dark elemental spirit, and entering the Gloomy Cave at night is probably not a good time to fight, originally we knew very little about the situation inside the Gloomy Cave, and that Edla's strength should not be underestimated. It's too dangerous to enter the cave now. Gu Ci analyzed.

"A good strength should not be underestimated. She turned her head to look at Simon, "I want to see what kind of method is not to be underestimated, say, where is the gloomy hole?"

"This guy suddenly came out like this, I'm afraid he is cheating us, I understand your feelings about wanting to save the child, but don't fall into this guy's trap. Shi Di groaned slightly, feeling that Simon's words were really not credible.

"Who said I was going to save someone?" Yi Miao asked rhetorically, but did not explain the reason why he was looking for Edla, but continued to ask Simon, "I'll ask you again, where is the gloomy hole?"

"I'll take you there, I'll take you, the location of the gloomy cave is very hidden, and it is not clear in a few words!" Simon, who had witnessed Catherine's death, hurriedly replied.

"Then you lead the way. Yi Miao glanced ahead and motioned for Simon to go first.

"Hey, we haven't decided to go yet, how do you think this guy is suspicious, it's better not to believe him!" Shi Di saw that Yimiao was about to go with Simon, and hurriedly stopped him.

"You don't have to go, if you want to save people, you can save them when I get rid of Ida. Yimiao didn't look back, and left a sentence lightly.

"What if something happens to you inside? We made an appointment to go to the gloomy cave together, and now we are partners, since we are partners, we should advance and retreat together, how can we let you go to such a dangerous place alone?" Shi Di saw that Yimiao insisted on going his own way, not taking his words to heart at all, and couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"yes, let's go together. Tammer was visibly worried.

Yi Miao didn't pay any attention to them anymore and walked farther and farther.

Tammer didn't hesitate any longer and followed.

Shi Di saw that Tamer also left with Yi Miao, gritted his teeth, and said to Gu Ci and Yan Sing, "I can't take care of so much now, Yi Miao, that female madman doesn't know what medicine she took wrong, she obviously saw a pit in front of her and didn't have to jump in, it seems that she is going to explore the gloomy hole tonight!"

Gu Ci and Yan Sing glanced at each other and nodded.

The three of them chased after him, and together they followed Simon in the direction of the Gloomy Cave.

As we got closer and closer to the gloomy cave, the scenery around us changed significantly, the color of the soil on the ground slowly changed from normal earthy yellow to black, and all the trees that should have been lush turned into dead trees, and the whole environment was very uncomfortable with gusts of wind blowing around. Even if Gu Ci has been using light to illuminate everyone, it still can't dispel the sense of oppression imposed by the environment. True to its name, this place is truly eerie.

From the moment he first entered the area, Shi Di felt that something seemed to be wrong, although he was almost certain that Simon was thinking something, but he couldn't guess what it was for a while. After following Simon for a while, the feeling that something was wrong in Shi Di's heart became stronger and stronger, and he always felt as if Simon was taking them around in a circle, but the path he was traveling was not a circle, as if he was using their steps to complete a symbol.

"Wait a minute!" Thinking of this, Shi Di immediately became vigilant, stopped, and said sharply to Xi Manganese, "You have taken us in circles since you entered this forest, what do you want to do?"

"Soon, soon arrived. Simon ignored him and took a few more steps forward, when suddenly a thick black mist spread, and Gu Ci's light technique suddenly failed, and everyone fell into darkness where they couldn't see their fingers.

"Be careful, this fog is poisonous, everyone close their eyes first, don't let the poisonous fog enter your eyes!" Shi Di suddenly reacted and hurriedly reminded everyone.

Shi Di now knows why he has been feeling wrong just now, the path that Simon took them is a pattern similar to the overlapping of the two "W's" on the front and back, this pattern Shi Di had seen on the "Perfect Thief Essential Book-I", it was a formation activated by a poisonous array.

Once activated, this poisonous mist will be released around them, the poisonous mist will not be fatal, but it will temporarily blind people, if there are enemies lurking in the poisonous fog at this time, taking their heads is naturally as simple as probing for things.

Yi Miao closed his eyes and cast a fireball spell in the direction where Simon was originally located, the firelight was extremely bright in the black fog, but the direction illuminated by the firelight was no longer Simon's figure, obviously he was deliberately activating this poisonous array, the purpose was to escape.

"Don't move, everyone, I know how to crack this formation, the last step of this formation is where the eye of the entire formation is, as long as the eye of the formation is removed, the poisonous fog will slowly dissipate, I remember that Simon's position just now is in front of Yi Miao, let me go over and dismantle the eye of the formation." ＂

In fact, people have some fear in their hearts in the dark, which is a kind of nature that rejects the unknown and uncontrollable. Shi Di knew that in this case, he had to keep everyone calm first, otherwise it would be very easy to mess up.

"Didn't my fireball technique destroy the formation just now?" Yi Miao's voice sounded a little nervous.

"That array of eyes is buried in the ground, and the attack on the surface cannot be destroyed, not to mention that the disassembly of the array eye requires certain skills, if it is rashly destroyed, it will not be able to stop the poison array, and then we will really have nothing to do" This female madman is not afraid, right? Shi Di heard that something was wrong with Yi Miao, and thought to himself.

"You come here, I'm here, take my hand, I'll take you to the position of the formation eye. Hearing this, Yi Miao stretched out his hand to Shi Di.

Shi Di groped in the dark and found Yi Miao.

Yi Miao's hand was very slender, and the temperature was very low, even though it was summer in the Kama Continent, Yi Miao's hand still showed a trace of coldness. At this moment, this slender and slender hand was trembling slightly, which showed how scared its owner was in his heart.

I didn't expect her spiritual power to be so strong, she was actually afraid of the dark, and she was still a little girl after all.

Shi Di's heart moved, and the anger that he originally had for Yi Miao who insisted on going his own way also disappeared a lot, he didn't say it, but secretly shook Yi Miao, as if to tell her that there was no need to be afraid of him.

"This is it. Sometimes he was beside him, but he was much calmer, and his voice returned to his usual calmness.

Shi Di squatted down, groped on the ground for a long time, and after determining the exact location of the array eye, he took out a shovel from his cowhide bag and began to dig down carefully. After digging for about a quarter of an hour, he finally dug up the eye of the array, and according to the cracking method recorded in the "Thief's Book", he dismantled the eye. However, instead of throwing away the array eye, Shi Di put it in his bag in case of emergency.

The black fog began to dissipate, and after a while, the woods were back to normal.

"Alright, you can open your eyes. Shi Di said after making sure that the poisonous fog had dissipated.

"Twice, it looks like I've learned almost everything in that book, isn't it easy, I can't read a word of that book when it's in my hand. Gu Ci recast the Light Technique, and smiled and hammered Shi Cleansing.

"Hehe, thanks to the book you gave me at the time, I don't know how long I would have been trapped today. But now is not the time to talk about this, now that Simon is gone, how are we going to find the gloomy hole?"

"I have a way, but I don't know if it will work, I think we are very close to the gloomy cave now, I can summon the scarab out and send it to explore the path for us, the scarab is especially sensitive to the dark elemental spirit, but it is late at night, its ability will be affected to a certain extent, so I am not sure that it can find the exact location of the cave. ＂

Summoning?Shi Dihu glanced at Gu Ci suspiciously, and his mind flashed the various undead creatures he had encountered before, he didn't have a good impression of the word summoning, thinking to himself what this scarab would look like, wouldn't it be so disgusting.

Gu Ci smiled slightly, raised his right hand slightly, and a white ball of light appeared from his hand, slowly condensing into a small and cute golden beetle on Gu Ci's palm.

"Oh, this little guy is so cute, I'll touch it!" Yansing's eyes lit up, and he rarely took the initiative to come to Gu Ci's side and tease the little beetle in Gu Ci's hand.

The little beetle is very agile and keeps crawling around, just not letting the smoke sing touch it.

"Alright, next time summon a bunch for you to play. Gu Ci looked at Yan Sing with the same eyes as Yan Sing looked at the little beetle, touched Yan Song's head with his left hand, squatted down and put the little beetle on the ground, and said to it, "Go, go to the place where the dark elemental spiritual power is the most powerful near here."

The little beetle quickly crawled in one direction, leaving a golden trail in its path, which soon extended into the darkness they could not see.

"Let's go. ＂

The crowd followed the trail left by the little beetle, and it didn't take long for them to see that the trail had disappeared into a hole, which was the entrance to the gloomy cave.

Shi Di saw that the entrance to the cave was a little strange, and asked everyone to wait for him to go over and investigate. He cautiously approached the entrance of the cave, lit a fire and took a closer look, and sure enough, he found something unusual. I saw that there was a layer of soil on the ground that was obviously a cover, and ordinary people might not be able to see it, but Shi Di found at a glance that it was not an ordinary surface, and there must be some mechanism hidden underneath, and then on the top of the cave, several boulders extended to the depths of the cave. Apparently, a boulder with iron locks has been laid here.

This iron-locked boulder is made of metal pulleys fixed to the top of the tomb and in the hidden places of the walls, and the pulleys are used to lift the boulder and hang it at the top. The cemetery is paved with wooden seesaws, and the cable chain is connected by the stone slabs in a concealed way through pulleys, and there are hooks and unhooks in the middle, which will automatically fall off when pressed by external forces. The rocker is strip-shaped, and the length and width vary according to the specific conditions of the tomb. The hanging stone can be hung on the top of the tomb in three layers, each layer is independent of each other, and the cable chain shrinks in and out through the hole in the stone.

After these are arranged, camouflage is applied, and outsiders will not know the mechanism inside. If someone steps on the seesaw slat, the external force will force the taut cable chain to fall off somewhere in the hook, just like the wheel of a well suddenly relaxes, and the suspended boulder falls rapidly, slapping the people below who can't dodge into a meatloaf.

Thankfully, they didn't rush into the cave.

Easter Egg Theater?

Shi Di: Tamer, you are unjust, that female madman sells teammates, and you also sell teammates!

Tammer: (grudge) Why is there a rivalry between you and Yi Miao?

Yi Miao: (walks past the two without saying a word)

Shi Di: Alas, for many years, brothers have sold their teammates and become dogs for women.
