Chapter 188: The Cave

The next day, rejecting Elaine's parents' offer to send them a militia, the two rode to the neighboring territory of Phyllis.

That Viscount Simak and his son, since the banquet last night, Locke has not seen each other, should have left, Ailian's request to ask him to help block the gun this time is also settled, and now they are going to complete the trial mission of the academy.

Unlike the long white dress at yesterday's banquet, today Ailian, like Locke, is also half armored on the outside, with a long sword hanging from her waist and iron boots.

The physical strength of the knight squire is much stronger than that of ordinary people, don't look at Ailian, a woman, now she is wearing at least twenty pounds of half-body chain mail, which is also extremely relaxed, which is compared with the appearance of the delicate beauty yesterday, the style has changed abruptly.

Locke had also seen that Raffi often swapped between these two states, so he didn't react much to Elaine's turnaround, which made Elaine, who had been secretly paying attention to Locke's expression, extremely depressed.

Speaking of Grace's little maid Rafi, who also wears armor with a long sword is a heroine, and when she takes off her armor and puts on a maid outfit, she is a lovely maid.

In terms of words, Locke has taken advantage of Raffi at home, but only in words, he has no interest in flirting with good families in front of women such as Grace and Xia Qian.

In the dark and deep cave, Locke walked in front with a fluorite, and behind him was Ailian, who was only holding his arm.

Seeing that Ai Lian looked afraid of the dark, Locke really couldn't understand how she could pick such a task for herself.

"If you're scared, go out first, and I'll go out to find you after I've done my investigation. Because of the extra oil bottle, Locke stopped and said helplessly to Ailian.

Ailian's face first showed a look of interest, and then she looked back at the same dark and unfathomable exit, only a little faint light, and then looked at Locke, entangled for a long time, and said, "No, I want to be with you!"

Locke looked speechlessly at Ailian's behavior of holding his arm like a koala, and could only slowly walk sideways into the cave.

As Locke went deeper into the cave step by step, he didn't expect that there was really something hidden inside.

Gloomy cave spaces, eerie dwarf trees, stalactites dripping with water droplets in the distance.

Touching the branches and leaves of the dwarf tree, Locke had never seen such a strange vein of leaves that were so bifurcated.

Elaine was also very curious about the appearance of this underground space, and although she followed closely behind Locke, she did not forget to observe the surroundings.

Suddenly, before she could react, Locke suddenly threw her to the ground, covering her lips with his hand so that she couldn't make any sound.

After Locke's series of movements, Ailian's reaction was not yet realized, only to see Locke put the fingers of his other hand to his mouth, made a silent movement, and then turned his head sideways and turned to the right front.

Following Locke's gaze, Elaine looked over.

There was a sound of stomping on the ground, and a humanoid creature about 1.3 meters tall appeared at the edge of the waterhole, its slightly broad soles slowly moving in the direction of the waterhole, its arms drooping, ready to use both hands and feet and quickly leave, and its hands were hooked up and showed its sharpness with its dark nails.

If it hadn't been for the footsteps that suddenly broke the silence, it would have been impossible to detect it moving.

Under the stalactites is a pool of water, "Dripping dong... Drip-knock... The water droplets kept falling from the stalactites into the pool.

Slowly, it approached the edge of the waterhole, and its body was illuminated by the reflection of the water, its eyes as black as carbon took up nearly a third of its head, its slightly gray skin, its large, pointed ears, and its jagged, sharp teeth.

It slowly lowered its head at the edge of the waterhole and licked the water, with minimal movements, swinging its ears and listening to the movements around it, looking up from time to time.

Suddenly, the three-pillar red grass on the edge of the waterhole attracted its attention.

The black eyes suddenly shone brightly, and he saw it look up left and right, especially the waterhole for a long time, as if there was something in it that made him extremely terrifying. After a long time, the greed in its eyes finally triumphed over its timidity, and slowly it began to move in the direction of the waterhole.

Just as it reached the side of the three small grasses and was about to reach out and pull them out, suddenly water droplets splashed, and a crocodile-like creature burst out of the waterhole, nearly 3 meters long, only to see its giant jaws open to two-thirds of its body, and bite down sharply.

"Ahh The humanoid creature that was about to harvest the grass let out a scream like a child's cry, and moved back quickly on all fours, with a horror in his eyes that could not be concealed.

How could the crocodile-like creature let it escape, only to see it lean forward, as if it was about to swallow what was in front of it in the next moment.

The humanoid creature retreated in a roar, only to see a black light flashing in its hand at some point, and the shielding of the borrowed body and the dark light did not let the giant crocodile notice.

Just as the crocodile's mouth was close to the top of the humanoid's head and was about to bite, the humanoid's black-glowing hands suddenly merged and smashed towards the crocodile's lips in front of him.

The giant crocodile was caught off guard by the humanoid creature, and let out a roar of rage, and the attack was interrupted for a while, I can't believe that a dwarf who is only more than a meter tall dares to attack a giant beast three times his size, and it seems that it has achieved a lot of results?

I saw that the right side of the crocodile's mouth was abnormally charred black, as if it had been corroded by some kind of strong acid, but this trauma was nothing to the crocodile with a body length of nearly three meters.

Its eyes were red, and it seemed to be furious that the tiny creature had hurt it, and its claws pressed forward again, as if to crush the tiny creature under its body and bite it wantonly.

The humanoid creature successfully interrupted the crocodile's attack and kicked its legs backwards, fleeing backwards with both hands and feet.

The small and flexible body moved sideways left and right under the giant crocodile's body, dodging the attacks of the giant crocodile's claws and big mouth from time to time, and the giant crocodile couldn't help it for a while.

The battle by the waterhole continued, and half an hourglass had passed.

Locke and Ailian, who were not far away from them, were staring at the battle not far away, only to see that at this time the humanoid creature was covered with scratches, and the green blood oozed out of the rag clothes, although it was not caught by the giant crocodile, but it inevitably collided with the giant crocodile's scale armor and the sharp stones on the edge of the waterhole between dodging, but this is already the best ending compared to being caught by the giant crocodile, if it is caught by the giant crocodile, I believe that with its small body, it will be torn apart and swallowed in an instant.
