Volume 1 Growing Up in the Academy Chapter 24 The Cave Monitor Lizard
The Giant Horn Cave is the second largest cave in the empire, and the cave is very spacious, with passages as wide as the streets of Garin City and more than 4 meters high.
The large number of caverns was as small as the hall of Rogge's villa dormitory, and the large area was almost as large as the hall of the Holke City Adventurers' Association building.
Rogge and the others walked in it, and they didn't feel claustrophobic at all, and it was no problem for several people to walk side by side.
The area where you first entered the cave was developed by the surrounding villagers, and the walls of the cave were lit by oil lamps. The oil lamps used for lighting are special lamp oils, which are mediocre but very long-lasting. From time to time, you can see carts of different sizes on the floor of the passage.
Rog's team followed the adventuring group in front of them to a large cavern. There are five passages in front of the cave, and it is dark inside, and it seems that the villagers' development of the cave has come to an end.
One of the men in the last group to come said: "There are five passages, one for each of our five teams to explore. ”
After speaking, without waiting for everyone's response, their whole group walked into the passage on the far right.
The aristocratic team chose the passage in the middle, and before the fat baron Beard entered the passage, he turned to look at Orfina and the other girls, and his smile was disgusting.
The first team to reach the mouth of the cave was called the Dawnlight Adventure Party, and they chose the second passage on the left.
Loria walked up to Rogge and said, "Little brother, we're going to be separated here." The inside of the Giant Horn Cave is intricate, and there will be a meeting place in front of it, so I'll see you later. If you meet that fat nobleman on the way, pay more attention. ”
Rogge nodded and watched as the Ice and Snow Front team entered the second passage on the right.
With the leftmost passage left, Rog took a deep breath, raised his torch, and said to his friends, "Let's go." ”
Rogge's team explored a formation with Lunt at the front, then Rogge, then Orfina and Madeleine, and finally Sonia.
As a defender, Lunt was naturally the first to go. Rog needs to watch ahead, make some decisions, and take the second one. The relatively safe place in the middle was reserved for Orfina and Madeleine, the two mage girls. Fast and has perfect perception, Sonia is not afraid of sneak attacks. The entire team is well positioned and ready to fight.
The passage was deep and quiet, and from time to time the strange cries of unknown creatures sounded in the depths, which seemed a little eerie. Rogge's team put safety first and moved slowly.
After a long time, the team passed through three small caverns, and Lunt, who was walking in the first one, made a discovery: "Rogge, look." ”
Rogge followed Lunt's point and saw a large area of blood on the walls of the cave, which was brown and apparently dry. Rog looked down again, and saw that there was also blood on the ground, leading to the depths of the passage.
Rogge analyzed: "Looking at the distribution of blood stains on the stone wall, it is likely that a person hit the wall at high speed. The trail of blood on the ground was obvious, and something had dragged him away. Cheer up, we're approaching Warcraft. ”
Except for Rogge and Orfina, the other three had never seen a living magical beast, and they were all a little nervous, even the nervous Lunt was no exception.
Rogge said in a low voice: "Don't be so nervous, the blood transformation level demonic beast is not that strong, and Ou Feina and I can both face the ambush and fight back." Now there are 5 of us and we can definitely win. ”
Sonia looked adoring, it was the first time she had heard that the brother and sister had killed a demonic beast.
Madeleine rolled her eyes slightly, thinking, "You two little perverts don't have enough to comfort people." ”
Lent remembered the all-wolf banquet that he would never forget, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and muttered, "The demon wolf meat is really delicious." ”
"Big Stupid Bear knows how to eat, let's go! Be serious, Warcraft is powerful. "Orfina didn't relax at all, she had learned the horrors of Warcraft. If there wasn't Rogge present, she wouldn't be the opponent of the mid-blood transformation demon wolf if she fought alone.
The team continued to move forward, more slowly and cautiously than before.
After walking some distance along the bloodstains, everyone saw a cave in front of them. A foul smell wafted in, and Rog realized something was wrong, grabbed Lunt in front of him and stopped his advance.
Rogge took out a muslin to stop the bleeding and gently tore it open, and handed it to Ofina, who was frowning and pinching her little nose. Everyone also tore cloths to cover their mouths and noses, and extinguished the torches by the way.
Rogge lowered his voice and said to everyone: "There must be something in the cave in front, I'll go investigate first, you guys are waiting for me here." ”
Sonia, who doesn't usually talk much, said, "I'll go." ”
The Assassin is light and stealthy, and is indeed more suitable than Rogge.
Rogge also thought of this, and was not hypocritical, and said to Sonya: "Okay, look carefully. If you find out, run to us right away. ”
Sonia nodded, got up slightly, turned on her martial arts and sneaked forward slowly, and entered the cave without making a sound.
About 10 minutes later, Sonia quietly returned, and the assassin girl whispered to Rogge, "Lizards, 6 of them, one big one, are all sleeping. ”
Rogge asked, "Is it about 2 or 3 meters long, with large scales on the body and large and sharp front paws?" ”
Sonia nodded.
Rogge said, "It's a cave monitor lizard." This lizard is a ferocious predator in caves, often attacking with fangs and claws. It has poor eyesight, average hearing, and a very strong sense of smell. ”
Madeleine asked, "How do we fight?" ”
Rogge thought for a few seconds and said, "It's good that they're sleeping, otherwise we'd have been spotted as soon as we got close, and we'd have had to fight hard." Now we can deal with 5 common cave monitor lizards first, and then concentrate on killing the cave demon lizards. ”
"After we enter the cave for a while, one of us chooses an ordinary lizard to attack, and if we can kill it, we will kill it, and if we can't kill it, we will try to make it incapacitated. Madeleine's lightning strike technique requires a precise strike, so use the lightning strike technique as a signal, and then strike after the spell is launched. ”
"Whatever the outcome of the attack, Lent immediately went to resist the monster and contain the main thing, and Nana and Madeleine followed to help. Sonia and I cleaned up the remaining normal monitor lizards that could move first, and then we worked together to kill the monsters. ”
"If there is any accident, protect yourself, we have Nana here, as long as we don't die, we won't die, remember?"
Everyone nodded.
"Let's go." Rogge called the shots.
After Rogge and his teammates explained their tactics, everyone entered the cave very slowly and carefully.
Even though there was a muslin cloth covering the mouth and nose, the smell in the cave was still unpleasant, and everyone forcibly endured to observe the situation.
The cave was not pitch black, and the light from some fluorescent plants and a few small openings in the roof of the cave was enough for Rogge and the others to see inside the cave. Rog hid behind a large rock and then looked closely.
He found the chamber to be large, more than half the size of the hall of the Adventurers' Guild. The floor of the cavern was littered with the remains of various creatures, including several human remains with a little flesh and blood, which were supposed to have left blood stains outside the cave. The wreckage and monitor lizard excrement were mixed together, giving off a disgusting smell.
5 cave monitor lizards and 1 cave magic lizard were sleeping soundly at this time, the magic lizard was in the center, and the common monitor lizard was scattered around it.
The size of the ordinary monitor lizard was not out of place, as Rogge expected. The cave demon lizard is a big one, more than 5 meters long from head to tail, and its sharp front claws reflect the cold light of the forest, which looks extremely sharp. It was lying on the ground, its breathing was very heavy, its long scarlet tongue was spitting out and spitting, and its huge body was very visually impactful.
Rog bent his bow and arrows, aimed at the farthest monitor lizard, and began to charge. The rest of the team also got to their respective positions, found their targets, and began to prepare for the attack.
Lent drew a throwing gun and aimed it at the nearest monitor lizard, ready to throw. Sonia silently scrept up to a monitor lizard, watching for Madeleine's spells, ready to attack. Orfina had summoned the Sword of Light, and 6 lightsabers hovered at her side, aimed at her target.
At this time, Madeleine's lightning strike technique was finally ready, and she stretched out her finger, and the violent lightning strike was violently activated, and the powerful bombardment hit the monitor lizard.
The lightning strike technique was worthy of being the most damaging of first-order magic, and the monitor lizard let out a terrible roar from its mouth, and its body was instantly blasted open by the powerful lightning strike, and one of its front legs was blown out. The monitor lizard lay on the ground and convulsed twice, whimpering for his life.
At the same time that Madeleine unleashed the lightning strike, the other four also attacked.
Rogge's attack was the first to work. The charged arrows are extremely fast and piercing, and can hit the farthest cave lizard in an instant. The arrow pierced through the scales on the monitor lizard's side, piercing the heart and digging deep into it, leaving only the feathers of the arrow. The monitor lizard was awakened by the thunder, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he did not move, and he was dead.
Lunt also threw a throwing gun at the first time. The strong Sakdo has a lot of strength, and Lunte's physical fitness has reached the level of an intermediate martial artist, and the throwing spear roars into the body of the monitor lizard, causing the heavy body of the monitor lizard to be crooked. Lunt didn't care whether it was alive or dead, and the shield rushed directly towards the cave dragon that had woken up.
On the other side, Sonia leapt up and unleashed a painful stabbing blow, and the goblin dagger stabbed directly into the most vulnerable part of the monitor lizard's neck. The monitor lizard screamed in pain, writhed violently, and struggled. Sonia held the handle of the dagger with her right hand, and with her left hand, she pulled out a military-standard dagger, stabbed it into the monitor lizard's eye socket with all her might, and then spun and stirred. The monitor lizard struggled with lessen, and then stopped breathing.
Orfina was quick to solve her goal as well. The defense of the scales of the ordinary cave monitor lizard was not enough to defend against the second-order magic sword of light, and the 6 lightsabers slashed the monitor lizard in a few moves under the skillful operation of Ofina.
4 of the 5 common cave monitor lizards were killed and 1 was seriously injured, which allowed Rog's team to gain a numerical advantage when fighting against the magic lizards.
Rog turned to the monitor lizard, which had just struggled to get up and was roaring with its mouth open after being shot by Lunt's shot, and shot an arrow through its throat. Then Rog looked at the lizard and saw that its mighty tail was sweeping towards Lent with a thunderbolt.
Lunt gripped his shield tightly, his feet ready to force his way through the blow.
The lizard's tail thrust against the shield with a pop, and Lent used his skills to try to relieve his strength, and was whipped away.
