PS: Thank you for the monthly tickets of the three students who rely on the sword and the sky, the Wuba pig, and the one on the right hand! Thank you for the reward of the drunken Wanting students, thank you!
In the middle of the night, the herd of werewolves finally stopped somewhere in the Gray Valley.
The environment in this area has become completely different from before, with countless rhizomes "draped" with wide dark green leaves hanging from the sides of the mountain to the valley floor, looking like countless long snakes are crawling through the soil. The roots and twigs of the leaves are covered with short, sharp black-brown spikes, which can cause deep blood marks and a plant toxin that could lead to death.
The entrance to the cave that Belmond spoke of was behind one of the dense plants, and it was indeed quite hidden.
The werewolves carefully pushed aside the dangerous plants and made way for them, and Belmond led Leon and his party into the cave first, which was an act of sincerity, proving that it had no intention of setting a trap here, and the young man certainly knew it, and he had a good impression of Belmond.
"We were just going to use this place as a safe haven for us, so we didn't have a light source, so if you can't see it, just follow me. ”
Belmond's slightly empty voice came from the front, and at this time its figure had already disappeared into the darkness inside the cave, "But if you are prepared, you can light it up by yourself, rest assured, the ventilation effect in the cave is very good." ”
Werewolves are a race that is born with night vision, even in the darkness of no light. They can also see far away with a pair of eyes that emit a faint green light, and there is really no need to prepare a light source, but Belmond knows that humans do not have such natural abilities. Its reminder is also a good idea.
At this time, Leon was looking around in the dark, the battlefield map was equivalent to a fairly advanced night vision device in this environment, and now he could "see" the nearby environment through guò perception, and even see the messy bags piled up under the walls in the distance.
In addition to him, Fiona was born with dark vision, or vampires were far more accustomed to the darkness than werewolves, in this environment. Even their own abilities are given a certain amount of bonuses. And Melissa obviously inherited several of the werewolf's innate abilities after awakening the ability of beasthood, such as self-healing and dark vision, which is of course slightly weaker than a pure werewolf like Belmond. But it's enough to cope with the current scene.
As a scholar mage, Erin had cast the corresponding secret method early on, and a pair of large eyes were surrounded by faint power fluctuations, which could help her obtain an effect similar to that of dark vision, and she could see clearly within thirty or forty meters.
The only one of these people who really didn't fit in was Red. However, with his character, he is not willing to show cowardice in front of these werewolves. So he remained silent, following the footsteps in front of him intently, intending to hold on as hard as he had just rushed. However, at this time, Red noticed a small flame in front of him, and then the fire became more and more intense, filling the cave with a large amount of light.
Leon raised the large torch that was burning and said without looking back, "Red, come and get it for me." ”
The big man scratched his unkempt straight hair and accepted the favor with a grin.
Leon's gaze only swept over Red's "You still know me" expression. Then he turned back as if nothing had happened, and continued to observe the gently fluttering flame. Then he pondered for a moment, and walked in the direction where the werewolf leader's figure had disappeared.
If you can look down from above, you will find that the cave is narrow at both ends and loose in the middle, looking more like an irregular diamond shape, and Belmond has walked to the innermost corner, and is sitting on a heavy stone, looking at the young man who has followed.
Although it is the only one who pays the most attention to Melissa, it also knows that this young man must not be underestimated, and through the observation since the meeting, just looking at his usual plain speech, but there are so many strong people who bow down to his orders, he knows that his identity must be extraordinary.
"This man must have a lot of background," Belmond thought silently, "It is said that there are many powerful people in the City of Chaos, could he be one of them?"
"And he is very young, but he already has such an identity, and the respect of these people around him is from the bottom of his heart at a glance, much like when we see the patriarch......" It shook its head slightly, "not much like a mercenary, more like an important person in a certain ethnic force." ”
The more Belmond pondered, the more he felt that this person was full of mystery, and when he walked over with an indifferent smile, a faint pressure suddenly arose in his heart - this feeling was very strange, and it could only be felt in a few old and powerful people in the clan in the past, so it was very unpleasant.
But Belmond knew that now it had to be restrained, on the one hand, for Melissa's reasons, and on the other...... Although the sharp-clawed werewolves are not afraid of any threat, their situation is really not good at this moment, and they can no longer erect another strong enemy out of thin air.
"Sit down, you can rest for a while, and leave on time in three hours, as long as nothing special happens, you will definitely be able to reach our territory at noon tomorrow." Belmond felt that making some noise would distract him, so he took the initiative to speak.
Leon replied casually, but he didn't sit down, but observed with interest the position of the corner he was in, and when the doubt in the werewolf leader's eyes became deeper and deeper, he said, "Is this back empty?"
Belmond was stunned for a moment, and then he glanced back before suddenly saying, "Almost, there should be a larger cave in the back, maybe connected to the underground cave, so there is always wind blowing through the gaps." ”
Leon nodded slightly, and then asked, "Is the underground cave very large, will it always be connected to the Mother Spider Cave in your territory?"
This question does not involve the secrets of the werewolf, and Belmond also has the heart to "communicate", and this time it was very patient and responded to the other party's series of questions.
"You outsiders may not know that there are a large number of naturally formed caves under the Pale Mountains, and although there are independent caves like this, most of them are connected together to form a vast underground space. ”
Seeing that almost all of these humans showed a surprised expression, Belmond suddenly felt an inexplicable pleasure in his heart, and most of the unhappiness just now dissipated in a blink of an eye.
"There's such a big space underground?" muttered Leon.
"Yes, not only that, but it is said that there are a considerable number of creatures living there, and they are generally very powerful, and many species are rare in the depths of the Pale Mountains," Belmond said with a vague indescribable affection, and even relayed all the rumors he had heard from his father, the Patriarch of Basel.
