Chapter 19: Lost

Lin Yue dodged and hid in the cave, and the blade mantis that was chasing after him crashed headlong into the stone wall. It was too big, and the entrance to the cave was only one person tall, just enough for Lin Yue to pass guò. A pair of small eyes of the Blade Mantis stared at Lin Yue outside the entrance of the cave for a full four or five seconds, and suddenly the Blade Mantis used all four legs and disappeared into Lin Yue's field of vision. Lin Yue thought that this blade mantis had given up chasing him and flew away, and was about to let out a sigh of relief. Suddenly, there were several loud noises overhead, and then countless pieces of rubble fell from the entrance of the cave, and in a short time the entrance of the cave was tightly blocked.

Well, this blade mantis must have a mortal enmity with his brother, so targeted. Lin Yue couldn't help but feel sad for his fate when he looked at the hole blocked by countless huge stones, how could he always be so unlucky.

Seeing that this cave could not be exited, Lin Yue could only find another way. Looking around, although the entrance of the cave is not big, the space in this cave is not small. It's just that it's pitch black in this cave, and only a little sunlight penetrates through the cracks in the stones that block the entrance of the cave, and Lin Yue can see the surrounding environment clearly in front of him. But further down into the cave, it was really dark, and there was nothing to see.

Lin Yue took out a product of Hextech purchased in Lin Hai Town, an energy lamp, from his bag. When the switch was turned on, a soft pale yellow light lit up, and the cave was immediately illuminated. Lin Yue found that the original cave could still go inside, and the deepest part was still pitch black with no end in sight. Courageously going inside, Lin Yue felt that it was better not to use the light totem in this kind of place, it was too conspicuous. The white flames on his body extinguished, and then black flames rose from beneath his feet.

Calming down, Lin Yue slowly advanced along the edge. After a while, the bright hole disappeared behind it, never to be seen again. "Click" Lin Yue seemed to have stepped on something under his feet, and when he looked down, it was a bone. "Hiss" Lin Yue gasped, could it be that I strayed into the lair of some totem beast? Why are there scattered bones here. But the entrance to the cave was blocked, and Lin Yue, who had no way out, could only continue to move forward.

On the other side, after Lin Yue lured the blade mantis away. Xue Ni's group quickly rescued Wan Luo, who was knocked away, and could barely walk after continuous treatment.

"What to do, now. Lin Yue is probably more auspicious, maybe the blade mantis will turn back after a while. We can only retreat back to Linhai Town now and discuss the next step. Ah Hu frowned.

"Then what should Lin Yue do? Leave him alone like this?" Xue Ni was a little at a loss.

"There's no way, miss, we have to get out of here quickly. Ah Niu spoke, and after that, he helped Wan Luo and began to walk in the direction he came.

Seeing that everyone had decided to do so, Xue Ni had no choice but to leave, and glanced back at the direction where Lin Yue had disappeared, "Lin Yue, good luck." Xue Ni muttered, although she also felt in her heart that Lin Yue was terrifying and could never come out again, after all, it was a blade mantis comparable to the peak of the totem warrior. Even Wan Luo, the strongest man in the team, who was good at defense, was vulnerable, and Lin Yue, who was only at the level of a totem apprentice, could not escape from under that pair of scythes.

At this time, Lin Yue had been walking in the cave for a long time, but there was still no sign of an exit. There is no way out, there is no totem beast, just a black cave, where does it lead? Lin Yue was already a little afraid to continue to move forward, after all, the unknown is the most terrifying, and the ghost knows what he will encounter if he continues to walk. Just when Lin Yue was hesitating to turn back to the entrance of the cave and think of a way to get out, Lin Yue found that the road in the cave began to slope upward, which means that if he continued to walk, he would be climbing the mountain. This kind of change finally made Lin Yue feel hopeful, maybe he could meet another exit if he continued like this.

Thinking in his heart, the speed under Lin Yue's feet also began to get faster. After the road under his feet began to turn uphill, Lin Yue soon encountered a curve again, and then just as he turned left and right, he suddenly heard a sound. "Whirring" is the sound of the wind, it seems that there is an exit not far ahead! Lin Yue was overjoyed in his heart, and he trotted up with a step, but he was suffocated in this dark cave. After Lin Yue heard the wind and walked in the dark cave for a long time, a glimmer of light finally appeared in front of him.

Finally saw the exit, Lin Yue thought to himself, accelerated again, and ran towards that glimmer of light. Soon, a hole appeared in front of me. Walking forward quickly, Lin Yue's eyes were a little uncomfortable because he had been in the dark for too long, and he couldn't see anything the moment he stepped out of the hole. It took several seconds to adapt to the bright world, and Lin Yue opened his eyes and was startled by the scene in front of him.

The place where he was standing was a boulder spit out of the cliff in mid-air, and if he had taken two more steps forward, he would have to fall. Feeling the strong wind in the sky, Lin Yue looked at his feet, and it was a large dense forest. The forest, on the other hand, is in a huge basin surrounded by steep mountain walls.

Lin Yue, who was standing in the wind, was a little messy now, and now it can be said that he is in a dilemma. Retreating is a long dark cave, the other end is still blocked, and if you go forward, you will have to fall down and fall to pieces if you are not careful.

Sitting on this protruding rock, Lin Yue thought about how to go down. At present, it seems that the only way to go down the rock wall to the forest below is to do so, but there are only a few protruding rocks on the smooth rock wall. Just as Lin Yuewei was going down from the halfway point of this cliff, he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be something in his backpack that could cope with this situation. Immediately opened the backpack, Lin Yue rummaged for a while and took out a bundle of rope. Pull hard, the strength should be enough.

With a lot of effort, Lin Yue tied the rope firmly to the stone he was standing on, and then threw the rest off the cliff. Originally, the mountain rock in mid-air was almost fifty meters away from the ground, but now Lin Yue took a look, and the end of the rope was only more than ten meters away from the ground. What to do with the remaining ten meters of height, Lin Yue had an idea. So he rolled over and grabbed the rope and began to descend. After a while, the end of the rope was reached. Taking a deep breath, Lin Yue let go of his hands that were gripping the rope.

The speed of the fall is very fast, and it looks like it is about to reach the ground. Lin Yue shouted, "Dark Shield", and in an instant, a black shield appeared beside Lin Yue and revolved around his body. With a "bang", it landed. Because of the 75% damage reduction effect of the Dark Shield, Lin Yue had no other major problems except for the bruises on his limbs that left a lot of blood and the shock that injured his internal organs when he landed. The white flames on his body ignited, and Lin Yue quickly released two Holy Light Techniques in a row on himself, and the damage healed intact in the blink of an eye.

Packing himself up, Lin Yue carefully observed the dense forest in front of him. Unlike the forest seen on the outskirts of the Demon Beast Mountain Range before, the trees here are not so tall and stout, but the density is relatively high, and there are half-human-tall shrubs on the ground.

Cheering up, Lin Yue walked in. Before I had walked a few steps, I heard the sound of 'rustling' in front of me. Approaching cautiously, Lin Yue found that there was a small pond not far in front of him, and there was a totem beast more than half a man tall next to the pond. It looks like a turtle, with stout and short limbs, and its body is hidden in a shell, but there is a hole in the center of the shell. There was a blue glow in the cave, and there was a blue gas-like thing, and the totem beast was possessing a small pond to drink water. Although, Lin Yue didn't know what level the totem beast in front of him was. But he didn't feel the danger from it, it must have been a milder one.

Lin Yue slowly tried to get closer, wanting to find out. Suddenly, the totem beast sensed Lin Yue's existence and turned its head to look at him. didn't seem to be curious about Lin Yue, and after feeling that Lin Yue was not hostile, he turned his head and drank water by himself. Lin Yue found that this totem beast actually ignored him, so he prepared to get closer. When Lin Yue approached the blue turtle about 5 meters away, it suddenly turned its head and stared at Lin Yue, its eyes began to flash blue light, and then with a low roar, Lin Yue rushed over.

"I'm rubbing, isn't it. I didn't mess with you, why are you attacking me, Brother Turtle. Lin Yue saw the blue turtle rushing towards him, turned his head and ran, and turned his head to look after running more than ten meters. I found that the turtle stopped chasing, it turned out that as long as it got too close to it, it would burst into attack, but after a certain distance, it would ignore you.

"Okay, isn't there a little docile and cute totem beast in this Demon Beast Mountain Range? Lin Yue depressedly bypassed the water turtle and continued to move forward.

The forest was full of weeds and shrubs, and the speed of movement was greatly reduced. Lin Yue walked for a long time, and he didn't encounter any other creatures except for the unfriendly blue turtle he had just seen, and the birds that occasionally flew overhead. Lin Yue, who was a little tired from walking, decided to find a place to rest, and there might not be enough under the tree, so he found a relatively tall tree and climbed up. Sitting on a horizontal branch, Lin Yue took a nap.

Not long after, Lin Yue in the trees was just about to take a nap when a sound of footsteps came.

"Big brother, are you sure that the news you bought is reliable? We've been wandering around this forest for almost two days, and we haven't seen the shadow of the water demon turtle. Could it be fake news, then isn't our low-grade level 8 earth-based crystal nucleus deceived? A man's voice came.

"Don't worry, that person is still more reliable, since he said yes, he won't be wrong. The map shows that there is a water source in front of it, and I think it is possible that the water demon turtle is there, so we should move faster, and it is said that the flame team is also fighting the idea of the water demon turtle. Another slightly muffled male voice replied.

Lin Yue in the trees woke up when the footsteps sounded, and he was secretly happy that he had finally met a human, so he didn't have to worry about how to get out. Just as he was about to go down from the tree to say hello to these people, he heard their conversation, and presumably the blue turtle was the water demon turtle.

"There's movement in the trees, prepare for battle!" the man shouted, and several people behind him were not slow to react, and flames of various colors began to burn.
