Cleaning the battlefield and counting the corpses, a total of 65 gnolls were killed in this battle, and a few of them pretended to be dead and did not escape the post-war replenishment, only about a dozen escaped. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info seized a large pile of flails, but unfortunately it was useless, most of them were thrown everywhere. These gnolls don't carry any money with them, only the chain flail in the hand of the suspected leader is a little special, with three chain balls hanging from a stick, and it is more delicate and heavier.

It may be that this leader has more abundant combat skills, but unfortunately he was not able to show it, and was stabbed to death by a sneak attack by the small spoon. The rest of the flail, Kevin, thought it was good, so he kept it as a souvenir.

Seeing that the battle situation was decided, the dark elf also relaxed, and suddenly sleepiness struck, and remembered that he had to stand guard at night, so he was no longer polite: "I'll go sleep for a while." ”

"Go, go, go. The crowd also saw that it was not easy for him, and did not say anything more.

Kevin turned his head and continued to greet everyone: "Throw the corpse away, take the flail, maybe it will be useful, this cave will be sorted out according to the situation, and it will be convenient for future generations." ”

Adventurers in Lou Baole have some habits, if they go out to adventure in the wilderness and build a temporary stronghold, they usually will not dismantle it when they leave, and even throw some weapons or sundries that they don't need in it, and they will mark it on the map after they go back. Every adventurer will encounter danger when they go out, and having a place to hide at a critical moment is likely to save their lives directly.

Kevin can be said to have survived in this way, when he was in the Carudia Hills, the cave where he hid was left behind when his predecessors were hiding, and now Kevin is also convenient for future generations. This kind of improvised cave may have been strengthened by generations of adventurers and become as strong as a fortress, or it may become a nest of monsters after a long period of absence, and people will have to try their luck in the future.

At about 1 p.m., when everyone had just finished their busy work and sat down to rest for a while, the little spoon suddenly came down from the treetops. At this moment, she was wearing this pile of blades of grass, with a grass ring on her head, and her camouflage level looked very professional.

"What's wrong?" the crowd hurriedly stepped forward.

"All the escaped gnolls returned to their caves, but just now, the gnolls came out of their burrows in large numbers, and all fled north. The run was very fast, and it was probably already running down the hill by this time. "Little spoon reports.

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other. Sain speculated, "Is this an escape?" or is it a rescuer?"

"If you move the rescuers, there may be a lot of people going out," said Little Spoon to tell the truth, "there are at least twenty or thirty of them." ”

"It's enough to move one or two rescuers, isn't it?, so many people are out, are they running away?" Sain immediately concluded, "or we'll kill them right away." ”

Kevin didn't move, and asked after a moment's silence, "Has the woman who shouted for help been found?"

Little Spoon shook his head, a little embarrassed: "It was a little infiltrating last night, so I didn't dare to look at it." I was going to go in the morning, but you suddenly talked to her, and I was worried that there was a problem, so I still didn't go. ”

The crowd didn't laugh at her, and last night's ghostly screams were a little scary. In the case of not knowing the depth of the other party, it is also wise to choose not to approach. If you want to say that you are afraid, in fact, everyone is afraid, because everyone has heard it, and no one wants to see it.

"This female voice doesn't understand it, and she won't feel at ease after all. Kevin replied.

Sain proposed, "Why don't we look around and find the woman?"

"Forget it," Kevin said, waving his hand and turning to the little spoon, "you should continue to keep watch, and let's go to the gnolls' caves." Don't get too far away from us, be careful yourself. ”

"Yes. The spoon agreed, and then jumped into the tree, and disappeared for a moment.

"By the way," Kevin remembered, "wake up the Dark Elves." We're all gone, and it's not safe for him to sleep alone. ”

Everyone: "......"

In a moment, a group of five people had quietly lurked near the entrance of the jackal's cave, all lying in the grass more than ten meters away, all staring at the cave entrance with a cautious face. Only the Dark Elf lay behind with a sleepy expression, he had been asleep for almost ten minutes before being pulled back up.

"It seems quiet," Kevin turned to Jack, "to investigate." ”

Jack nodded immediately, closed his eyes, raised his right hand slightly, and opened his five fingers, and the surrounding wind magic elements suddenly began to flow, bringing a gust of wind towards the cave. As a wind mage, manipulating the breeze from a short distance is a basic skill, and even this can't be called a wind mage.

The gnoll threw wood and set it on fire, Kevin and the others trampled on it with their feet, and the smoke was manipulated by Jack, a wind mage, to blow back and confuse their eyes. The gnolls may not understand the real reason until they die, and they may not know that there is a mage in them until they die.

This technique can also be used to probe the air flow disturbance caused by the wind element and the terrain figures, so as to infer the internal situation. This kind of technological magic array is irreplaceable, at least not for now. The spells laid out by the magic array are all fixed, and only the mage can adjust them according to different situations.

After a moment, Jack opened his eyes: "It's big inside, and my level can't be reached yet." ”

"How?" Kevin asked.

"The cave is going down, there is a fork in the road about 20 meters away from the entrance of the cave, inside is like a room, the main passage continues to go down, more than 30 meters, I don't have the ability to explore. Jack replied.

"Didn't you notice any gnolls?" asked Kevin.

"No," replied Jack, "perhaps this gnolla stronghold is not many, and after we kill the main force and the leader, the rest will flee for their lives." ”

Kevin nodded, got up and straightened his clothes: "Let's go, let's go in." ”

"I said," the dark elf rubbed his eyes and got up, "can I not go in? ”

Everyone laughed, and Kevin waved his hand: "Forget it, let the little spoon watch outside, you can find a place to sleep." ”

The dark elf nodded mechanically, and lay down on the spot, sleeping on the roots. Kevin and the others could only shake their heads, sighing that it was not easy for everyone.

Pack up your mood, carry your shield and sword, and step into the gnoll cave. The entrance to the cave is slightly smaller, and Kevin and the others have to bow their heads slightly to enter, and it is estimated that the gnolls will have to bend down. But once inside, the passage was wide enough for two people to walk side by side, surrounded by earthen walls, with the occasional tree roots popping out. The smell in the cave is extremely fishy, and everyone can only endure it.

Light the torches, line up the formation, and slowly move forward. I was cautious all the way, and I didn't encounter any traps, and about 20 meters away, there was a fork in the road.

Kevin turned his head to look at Jack, and Jack understood, continuing to close his eyes, raising his hand and opening his five fingers, and the wind element probed forward.

"This room should be empty, there are branches after more than ten meters in front, and suddenly there is a passage going vertically down," Jack opened his eyes for a moment, "at least ten meters down and there is no bottom, and there is a long section ahead that I don't know where it leads." ”

Kevin nodded: "Let's go, let's go to the room first." ”

Turning the corner into the room, the place suddenly became empty, and there was still light shining on the roof of the cave, as if there was a ventilation hole above. Looking around at the left and right walls are all stone, the floor is still earth, and the room is indeed empty. Only some hay was left on the ground, which seemed to be where the gnolls slept.

After a careful search of the room, there was nothing of substantial usefulness except for some bitten pieces of meat and bones. Don't talk nonsense, go out and turn right, and the exploration continues.

"Do you think this cave is natural, or was it dug by the gnolls?" asked Kevin casually.

Everyone thought for a moment, but still shook their heads.

"To be honest, it doesn't look like a natural cave," Kevin began, "it's kind of like a mine, but maybe the gnolls have put their caves in order." ”

In a moment, the group came to the second fork, one straight down, and an even more unpleasant smell came from it. The entrance to the cave is slightly smaller, and there is no rope or ladder to go down, and the torch shines down, which is also a black hole with no bottom.

Kevin gave Jack a look, old rules. Jack immediately urged the wind spell to probe downward, and as soon as the air flowed, the unpleasant smell underneath suddenly hit his nose, and everyone almost retched even after a long time on the battlefield.

"It's not all, is it?" Sain couldn't help but take two steps back.

"It's not impossible. Kevin also had to cover his nose.

"Maybe it's not just," Xiao Jiu felt sharper, "and a little corpse smell!"

As soon as they heard this word, everyone's hearts couldn't help but tighten. Subconsciously tried to distinguish carefully, but the various smells in the cave were mixed, plus the fishy smell of these jackals themselves, and it suddenly felt that falling into the pit was probably nothing more than that.

"Alright," Sain couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly grabbed Jack's hand and interrupted him to cast the spell, "stop blowing it, all the stale gas in it is blowing out, and we're going to be poisoned here." ”

Jack also stopped in time, and compared to the others frowning and covering his nose, he looked as usual.

Kevin couldn't help but admire: "Yes, your face doesn't change." ”

Jack smiled, "I'm a wind mage, and I can try to make sure I breathe as much air as I can." ”

"Then you can't give us some good air?" the crowd was furious.

"I'm sorry, I'm not good enough," Jack said helplessly, "If you stand still, then I can try, if you keep shaking, then the air flow manipulation is too complicated." ”

Kevin waved his hand: "Forget it, we'll talk about this hole last." Gnolls rob and kill, maybe they throw the dead into this hole, and maybe they in the hole by the way. Anyway, let's move forward. ”

Everyone also wished to leave early, and hurriedly urged them to move forward. But as soon as he took two steps, Kevin suddenly turned around sharply: "That's not right!"

"What's wrong?" everyone was shocked.

"If it's really a pit, there's no on the edge of this pit?" Kevin walked in again, observing with a torch.

"Alright, let's move forward first!" everyone couldn't stand it and hurriedly pushed Kevin forward.

Kevin also had to put it on hold for a while and follow the old rules to find his way forward. The walls on the side of the passage are gradually turning from earth to stone, and it is likely that this is already the center of the mountain. If you look closely at the walls, it looks more like brickwork, and the roof of the cave is also rounded, as if you are gradually entering an ancient underground castle.

The more I walked, the more I doubted, the more I didn't dare to be careless, and the last way to the end was a direct wall. A flat and neat big stone was so abruptly blocked in front of everyone.

"Is there a mechanism? Do you want to look for it?" said Sain, who had already leaned in to observe.

Kevin stood still, staring at the stone for a long time, and finally shook his head: "Forget it, even if there is a road inside, the danger is unknown." We don't have to take any chances, let's get out. ”

"But we haven't found a single copper coin. Sain was dissatisfied.

"It's better than a small life," Kevin replied, "We're not high-level powerhouses, and we'll leave the risk to them, so if you think it's suspicious, go back and report it, and let them deal with it." ”

Jack touched the stone, "Kevin, do you know something?"

Kevin nodded: "All the way from the entrance of the cave, the walls of the cave are obviously getting higher and higher, from the earth wall, to the stone, to the brickwork." Here suddenly a stone stopped, it can hardly be called a coincidence. It must be some kind of mechanism, and it is probably a magic mechanism, so let's not break into it. Mission failure isn't a big deal either. ”

As soon as the words fell, the boulder suddenly shook, and then began to sink slowly. Everyone was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "Who moved?"

However, everyone looked around in a daze, apparently at that moment, no one moved, and theoretically the mechanism should not be touched. Seeing that the gap above was getting bigger and bigger, everyone was nervously holding their weapons and paying full attention.

The boulder stopped, sinking completely into the ground, revealing the entire passage, still a black hole with no end in sight.

"Jack. Kevin shouted at Jack.

Jack understood, the wind spell urged again, and replied in a moment: "More than 20 meters away, there is a hall, and I can't find out the inside." ”

Kevin nodded: "Let's withdraw." ”

Sain looked dissatisfied: "What are you withdrawing? ”

"What if the door closes again after we get in?" Kevin asked rhetorically.

Sain replied, "Then you can get something stuck in the stone and hold on?"

"This is a magic mechanism, and it is very difficult to stop it with just a normal physical brace. Kevin replied, "It's too risky to go in, so get out." ”

Suddenly, a female voice came from inside the cave: "Save me...... Help me......" Accompanied by the female voice, there was a gust of wind that blew so that the torches couldn't stop shaking. This time it was Lou Pauler's Chinese, and everyone present understood it.

Everyone's faces changed slightly, and Jack had already subconsciously spoke: "I really want to feel an element that I haven't seen before." ”

Kevin's hand holding the torch was also slightly sweaty: "I also feel it, I usually feel a lot of wind, fire, water, earth and light, and even the thunder element, and the element that I haven't felt is almost only the dark system!"

"Necromancer, or is it really undead?"

"Let's get out!" Sain immediately changed his words.

"Wait, I'll try to talk," but Kevin was not in a hurry, and shouted into the cave, "You want me to save you, how can you save you?"

"Come in...... You come in first......"

"No, you're out!"

"You come in!"

"You come out!"

“......”
