Chapter 700 Blood Vines
Now that they know the direction, they don't need the six-tailed macaque to dig alone, and the two steel pangolins, who are good at burrowing, are summoned by Terrina and Madas, and they start digging down under the command of the six-tailed macaque.
A sturdy tunnel that slowly forms over time.
When the steel pangolin excavates the tunnel, it will spontaneously flow out some slime from the gap in the scale armor, and a small amount of slime has amazing solidification properties, so Locke and the others don't need to worry about the tunnel suddenly collapsing after they enter the tunnel.
The vine is worthy of being an extremely vigorous plant, especially this kind of mutated vine with the attribute of vampire vine, digging more than ten meters underground, you can still find traces of the roots of these vines.
Eighteen meters underground, this is already a very deep level, because it is a passage that has just been excavated, and an unbearable feeling of stuffiness in the space is becoming more and more obvious.
Locke was better, but the faces of the three Ashars gradually became a little ugly.
The Dou Qi shield was opened, accommodating several people, including Ashar, and with the continuous replenishment of wind attribute elements in Locke's body, this feeling of sullenness finally disappeared.
"I didn't expect you to be quite careful as a knight! It's very different from the five big and three thick guys I knew before. Terrina covered her lips and giggled.
Without any mood swings because of a compliment, Locke walked down expressionlessly, and the knight's battle instinct made him smell a hint of danger.
However, the old man of Madas is more careful, with Locke's Douqi Shield, it is not over, 'Freshening Technique', 'Hydration Technique', 'Warm Sun Technique', 'Thermostat Technique', the four low-level spells, the environment in the Douqi shield is close to the ground, and even beyond.
"When you're older, you have to be better for your health, and I can't stand too many sins, old man. Madas shook his head and said, and the blue-faced toad that had been sitting on his shoulder also 'croaked' twice, as if it was echoing.
It had reached twenty-five meters underground, and the elemental energy that was gradually filling the surrounding space lifted the spirits of the four of them, but the six-tailed macaque of Madas was now scratching its ears and cheeks and had no goal to move forward.
At this moment, in the position they are in, the difference in the elemental energy around them is not large, with the qualification of the six-tailed macaque intermediate demonic beast, it is difficult to find the subtle differences, unless it is promoted to the high-level demonic beast nine-tailed macaque, in order to further refine its perception ability.
However, at this time, there is no need for the six-tailed macaque to do anything, because Ashar's magic roulette wheel has now recovered some of its effects.
Although the swing of the pointer is still a bit chaotic, the general direction can still be judged.
At Ashar's direction, the two diligent steel pangolins continued to dig diagonally downward.
Ten minutes later, fifty meters underground.
"Be careful, something seems to be coming. Locke said suddenly.
Terina and Madath were both stunned, the surrounding sealed underground environment and the barrier of Locke's Douqi shield made the detection range of their spiritual power greatly limited.
And they did not find anything suspicious in this limited detection range.
But those who know Locke well know that he won't be untargeted, especially in this unfamiliar environment.
Only Ashar was not affected by Locke's words at the moment, and the magic wheel in his hand was turning slower and slower, and the direction was more stable and biased towards the north-east position underground.
Fifty seconds later, the hands of the magic wheel snapped, pointing 35 degrees east-north.
"There!" snorted Ashar.
Before Terina and the others could look in the direction Ashar was pointing, "Bang knock!" came the sound of the wall shattering, followed by the mournful screams of the steel pangolins that belonged to the front line of the excavation.
The earth collapsed, the dust was filled, and in the very narrow underground passage, the sudden accident caught everyone off guard.
Among the four, Locke, who had always had a string in his heart, was the first to react, and a blue spear was pulled out by him, inspiring his fighting spirit to rush towards the place where the steel pangolin made a mournful roar.
The falling boulders and dirt were firmly held up by Locke's Fighting Qi shield.
Although this is fifty meters underground, with the strong physique and quality of an earth knight, it is relatively easy to resist this weight.
"Whoosh!" came a sound of breaking through the air.
"Bell porcelain!" The sharp object made close contact with Locke's fighting shield, and with the strength of his shield, it was also almost penetrated, and Locke danced his spear with one hand, stabbing in the direction where the sharp object came from.
The attacker obviously did not have the level of a second-level creature, and in the face of Locke's thunderous blow, there was a sound of "pop!" and his limbs were shattered.
A fishy liquid splashed onto Locke's Douqi shield, and a "hiss" sound sounded, which was the process of the Douqi shield being corroded by acid-attribute substances.
"Flash!" A light source appeared from behind, illuminating the situation in the underground passage at this time, and also illuminating the appearance of the attacker.
It turned out to be a giant vine tentacle!
The two steel pangolins next to Locke at the front had fallen one of them, and their torsos were deflated, as if only a layer of skin was still clinging to the bones.
On the other hand, the steel pangolin was rolling and howling, and there were many bloody scenes of flesh falling off its body, which seemed to be caused by the corrosion of dripping acid slime.
The giant vine tentacles were dark red overall, while the tips of its tentacles were silvery-white metallic and looked unusually sharp.
It's just that at this time, the tip of the metal has produced a gap of about one-third of the area, and streams of green slime are constantly bubbling out of the gap, and there is also a white mist, and Locke can smell the corrosive smell on it from a distance.
In the first encounter, it was obvious that Locke had the upper hand, and before he could take any action against this attacking enemy, with a "whoosh!", the dark red giant vine retreated towards the hole it came from, as if it was about to escape!
"Let's chase!" Ashar chased after her, her magic wheel pointing in the same direction as the giant vine fled.
How could Locke let Ashar take the risk alone, and rushed after Ashar.
Terina and Madath were not far behind, and from the glimpse they had just observed the giant vine, it was definitely a new plant variety that they had never come into contact with before, and Locke's brief fierce confrontation with it also judged that this giant vine had at least the level of a first-class creature.
This is obviously a new discovery in the secret realm of Absen, after five hundred years of exploration, not to mention first-level creatures, there are even few low-level magical beasts in the secret realm, what the hell is this giant vine.
As magicians with an insatiable desire to learn, Terina and Madath were full of curiosity at this time.
Returning the two steel pangolins to the summoning circle, although one was killed and one was injured, this loss was lighter than a feather for the two second-level summoners, if they were willing, only the high-level steel pangolins at the level of Warcraft, Terrina and Madath could summon dozens in one go.
Following Locke, Terina and Madas, who activated the magic shield, also passed through the cavern.
This passage, opened by the tentacles of giant vines, is not as easy to walk as the passage created by the steel pangolin, not to mention the rugged and winding, and often blocked by sharp stone pillars.
"I'll make the way for you!" Locke shouted, rushing in front of Ashar, activating all his fighting energy, forming a wall of fighting energy, and chasing in the direction of the giant vine's escape.
With Locke's wall of fighting spirit opening the way, the forward speed of Ashar and the others behind him has also increased significantly.
The wind knight's most confident thing is speed, and how could Locke let the enemy in front of him slip through his hand.
All the first- and second-level powerhouses who entered the Abbison Secret Realm would never have imagined that they would be in the underground of the Secret Realm, and at this time, they would stage a drama of chasing and fleeing.
Two minutes later, at this time, it was close to a depth of 100 meters underground, and the turbid air on ordinary people had already caused them to breathe poorly and cause suffocation, but several people in the passage had no different colors.
Seeing that he was about to catch the giant tentacle, Locke used his mental power to whisper hello to the three people behind him, "Be careful, I feel like this guy has been luring us over." ”
"Boom!" the stone wall was knocked open, and at the moment when the giant tentacle was about to flee, Locke struck.
"Die!" the azure spear was thrown out by Locke, and it landed precisely and vigorously at the exposed roots of the giant tentacles.
While the giant tentacles were struggling and twisting, "Sword Qi Finger!" Three parallel Dou Qi blades were shot out by Locke.
"Thorn!" sounded like skin being torn apart, and it actually came from the epidermis of the giant tentacles.
Locke's momentum did not disappoint, and the three parallel Douqi blades directly cut off the giant tentacle in three stages, only the last section of the root, and fled to the other side of the stone wall in a hurry.
The three-stage vines were obviously cut by the sharp fighting qi, and there was no source of vitality, but they were still writhing in place, which was enough to see their vigorous vitality.
The liquid was spilled all over the ground, and even the dirt and stones showed signs of corrosion and softening.
Faced with this scene, Locke stepped forward to inquire about the situation at the gap in the stone wall, while Ashar and the three stopped for the time being and walked towards the three vines cut by Locke.
"Sure enough, it's a blood vine!" said Ashar after discovering a blood-red pipe the thickness of a forearm in the nutrient transport area in the center of the vine.
"What is the Blood Vine?" Terrina had been fighting with Ashar before, but she was not unconvinced at all, she specialized in magic, and in the knowledge system of witchcraft, Ashar was an expert.
"The extremely special mutant of the vampire vine, I think the vampire vine characteristics of the ordinary vines above are all inherited from this guy. Ashar said.
"Generally, this parasitic plant has an extremely precious energy core, which is the essence of their plundering of the flesh and blood of other creatures. "Madas knows a lot about parasitic plants, and although he doesn't know blood vines, he still has this common sense.
