Chapter 273: Things Deep in the Cave
After the guidance of Sun Qi, Zhao Lu, and Zhang Shan.
The exploration team, consisting of eight people from Lei Xiao and six people from Su Ru and Su Mo, continued to advance in this winding and dark cave.
As the team went deeper, under the light of the light crystal.
Lei Xiao noticed the occasional traces of dried blood on the surrounding cave walls.
The rancid smell in the air began to become more obvious.
Among them, there is also a strange aroma similar to mint.
Moreover, the cave that was spacious at the beginning gradually became narrower, but the number of forks in the road increased significantly.
The most important thing is that the bones of many other magical beasts have appeared on the uneven soil.
"Lord, we have entered the core area of this trap cave."
Looking at the increasingly complex environment around him, the ice mage Xue Ya who was following Lei Xiao whispered softly.
Her exposed slender hands were faintly exuding a cold air, and she was obviously ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
"Speaking of which, Lord Lord, the reason why those sharp-edged earth beasts dug this cave so complicatedly is to make it difficult for other monsters who stray into it to find their way out, making it easier for them to hunt."< br>
Xue Ya, who had her silky waist-length hair completely coiled in her hood, continued to add: "And the strange fragrance permeating the air is also one of the special skills of the sharp-edged earth beast. The purpose is to cover up other The scent of the monsters remaining in the cave prevents them from finding their way back, further disrupting the sense of direction of these prey."
“So that’s it, there are really many wonders in the world.”
Lei Xiao sighed and nodded, and said in surprise: "Xue Ya, I didn't expect that not only are you extremely proficient in alchemy, but you also know all about these magical beasts."
"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. When my subordinate was studying in the high school of the Royal Academy of Nobles, the final assessment of the last year was to clear out the lair of a sharp-edged earth beast, so this is so clear."
Hearing Lei Xiao's appreciation, Xue Ya's cold face suddenly bloomed with a smile like a Tianshan snow lotus, and she said a little shyly.
"Ahem, Lord Lord, my subordinates also remember that graduation assessment."
Faxia, who had never had a chance to show off, also came up and said: "At that time, while Iceberg Girl froze several sharp-edged earth beasts, she also froze the two academy instructors behind her into ice sculptures, so that Those two poor instructors took a full month of treatment before they fully recovered!”
"Irritated girl, why are you everywhere?"
Xue Ya frowned and then retorted: "I was just a little nervous at that time. After all, I haven't broken through the third level yet."
"By the way, Frizzy Girl, at that time you also injured several noble children who went to school together, including the second son of a duke. In the end, not only did your family lose a large amount of gold dragons, but as the earl's father, you also made a special trip to That’s not the case with other people’s castles.”
Xue Ya raised her eyebrows and put her hands on her hips: "So when I was promoted to the elite class, almost no one except Lin dared to take the assessment with you..."
"It's just that those short-sighted guys happened to be on my target!"
Faxia raised her cheeks with some guilt and defended: "Since that time, I have never been in that situation again!"
"Good guy, luckily I haven't had any contact with these two people when I was a student."
Lei Xiao, who was surrounded by the two women, couldn't help but shudder and refocused his attention on the dark cave in front of him.
After passing through a complex area like a maze, the narrow cave became spacious again.
It seems that this location has reached the second half of the cave, which is the area where the sharp-edged earth beast itself lives.
"Boss Chensha, the three of us and others encountered those scary guys at the corner ahead."
Zhao Lu, who was walking at the front, was seen walking slowly. He wiped the cold sweat from his head and turned around to speak, obviously still feeling a little scared.
"You guys go to the back and rest for a while."
Lei Xiao waved his hand to signal the three of them to stay back, and led the main and subordinates to the front.
After turning the corner of the passage in the cave, Lei Xiao noticed.
Not far away, several lifeless corpses were lying strewn about. They were obviously the farmers who had just been attacked and killed by those sharp-edged beasts.
Looking at a large area of shocking red blood that has not yet dried up on the cave wall.
Zhao Lu and the other three people who had just arrived in the back row couldn't help but show fear on their faces and stepped back to the side again.
Su Ru and Su Mo also had their throats rolling and swallowed involuntarily.
For Lei Xiao, who has experienced many incidents such as the border battlefield, he is naturally able to deal with them calmly.
After that, everyone walked for a while, and everything in front of them suddenly became clear.
Looking around, Lei Xiao noticed.
The group of people had already arrived in a relatively large underground space.
The area here is about one hundred square meters, and there are some dense white monster skeletons scattered on the ground.
However, the most eye-catching thing is under the light of the light crystal.
On the four walls of the cave, there are a large number of black crystal-like objects with a frosted texture embedded in them.
I saw these black crystal stones reflecting a faint light, almost scattered in every position on the wall of the entire space.
What is even more striking is that there is also a small part of the special black ore that contains a faint golden energy, which flips and flows like a nebula in the universe.
Such a scene makes the entire space feel quite dreamlike at first glance.
It is not difficult to see that although they are all black in texture, there are obviously two completely different ores present here.
In a corner of the cave, there were several piles of excavated black crystals and strange black ores, which were piled randomly on the surrounding ground.
"I know those ordinary black ores, they are the obsidian necessary to upgrade the guardian defense mechanism. It is a level 2 rare resource, which is exactly what I need now."
"I wonder what that strange black ore is?"
Overjoyed, Lei Xiao quickly walked closer, picked up a palm-sized piece of strange black ore, and then opened the attribute bar of the ore.
"It turns out this is the dark magic crystal!"
Seeing the name displayed on the attribute bar, a look of surprise and joy appeared on Lei Xiao's face again.
This level 3 rare resource is the last necessary resource to upgrade the guardian's defense mechanism!
"I didn't expect that this time I would find two missing resources in one step. It seems that the guardian defense mechanism will be upgraded soon!"
With a gentle wave of his hand, Lei Xiao collected all the two resources scattered on the ground into his bag. (End of chapter)
