Chapter 225 The Mysterious Cave
Everyone discussed it and found out that the situation in this mysterious cave was unknown, and Ishuson injured his leg and could not move around. They could only leave her outside, but they could not just leave her. She is alone.
Bing Zhixie’s original intention was to go in alone and have the three of them take care of Ishusen. Lovely Liz was the first to disagree and insisted on going in with Master Bing Zhixie no matter what. Even if Bing Zhixie wanted her to go in, there might not necessarily be danger inside. Even if there was danger, he couldn't protect her like a flower. What she needed was experience, so she agreed.
In the end, it was decided that Bertha would take Ishusen to recuperate outside the woods, and Bing Zhixie, Alice and Carter would go in to see what was going on.
This hole is very deep, dark and deep, and you can’t see what’s going on inside. Carter brightened the array of crystals in the inlaid grooves of the armor. Generally, regular armor belts have this thing, just for convenience. Alice had one too, so hers lit up too.
Under the light, the situation in the cave was clearly visible. The entrance where they are now is not very big. It can only accommodate one person. If they go forward, the cave becomes wider. Even under the light of the crystal, it cannot reach the edge. It is not so much a person. A cave is better said to be a cave.
Bing Zhixie walked up to the front and shot a big fireball out. The fireball flew very deep until the magic power was burned out, but it did not reach the end. Judging from the situation, there seems to be no danger deep in the cave. It's just that this cave extends in all directions, with many rock and ice walls, forming a maze-like shape.
Carter asked: "The cave seems very deep. Which way should we go?"
Alice was worried about getting lost and said: "No matter where you go, you must mark it." It seems that those days in the forest and snow fields also taught her something.
Bing Zhixie raised his head and looked up, touching the icicles that connected up and down beside him, and then looked at the rock wall next to him: "This hole looks to be naturally formed, with no traces of artificial excavation."< br>
"Master is saying that there is no danger from agencies here?" Alice asked.
Carter shook his head: "Not necessarily. Someone will die in the cave, and maybe they have buried some formation mechanism, so you should be even more careful on the road ahead."
In addition to the exit at the back, Bing Zhixie's location was accessible from the front, left and right diagonals, so he shot two more fireballs.
"Hey, Master, look." On the right side of where Alice was, another Danluer corpse was seen.
“They killed a lot of people here.” Carter said.
Bing Zhixie stepped forward and took a look: "The injured person we rescued yesterday should be the one who was skinned yesterday. This is not far from the place where we rescued him..."
Carter said: "Yes, Lord That is to say, the people here were also yesterday or the day before yesterday They were killed just now."
Bing Zhixie nodded: "The corpses of those king beetles were only found today, which means they died not long ago. Maybe someone is not dead yet." Although this chance is not good. , but still have to look for it.
The three people looked to the right. Not long after they left, a pair of red eyes lit up on the top wall of the dark cave.
As we move forward, there are many forked roads in the cave. Some roads are connected, while others are dead ends. As I walked, I saw occasionally Danluer people lying in the middle of the road, their bodies frozen into ice. However, these people were not frozen to death, but killed. The wounds on the corpses were not big, but deep, and they were almost all killed by one blow. Some corpses had signs of being skinned, but they were thrown aside before the skinning was complete, so half of the skin was still hanging on the corpse, just like half of the clothes were worn and the other half was not yet put on.
Looking at this situation, there is no doubt that it was also the skinned old woman who did it. It can also be seen from these corpses that this old woman is very powerful, because apart from being killed by one blow, there are no signs of fighting around them. Some people just hold the sword in their hand and are about to swing it down, and they are already dead. .
The more corpses they saw, the more uncertain they felt. Most of the people in this cave would not survive.
While walking, Carter suddenly saw a different corpse. The corpse was still wearing the clothes of the Danluer Tu people, but the skin was sunken, the flesh was gray and dark, the eyes were protruding, and the mouth was long. The death state was very horrific.
"What's going on?" Carter was puzzled. Bing Zhixie pressed her fingers on the deceased's muscles, and they felt as hard as iron.
Carter pulled out a short knife and made a cut on the body. There was no blood inside: "It seems that the essence and blood have been drained."
Bing Zhixie suddenly felt something was wrong, as if someone was missing, and turned around Look, Alice is gone!
......
Outside the ice and snow cave, Bertha set up the ice bricks she had built herself and set up her tent. They didn't dare to go into the small pine forest. It was dark and dark inside, and they didn't know what dangers there would be, so they returned to the snowy slope again. The terrain here is open and there are no obstacles. Any dangerous monsters can be seen clearly at a glance.
In order to be safer, she also dug out all the snow around the tent until only ice remained. A spar was embedded in each of the five darts, and inserted into the five corners around the tent to form a thunder-type protective array. Even if the king beetle comes at this time, there is no need to be afraid.
Bertha, as an intermediate knight, is the person in the adventure group whose status is second only to the group leader White-haired Ghost Jack. Naturally, she also knows a little about magic formations, and she can still handle small formations of a general nature.
There were so many king beetles just now, which frightened Icebeard so much that he stayed on the ice wall built by Bertha and refused to come down. In the tent, Ishuson was obviously still worried about the three people who entered the cave, especially Alice: "Whether they will be in danger, I always feel that it is not an ordinary cave, there must be other dead people in it."
"Even if There are dead people and dangers, so what? Judging from Bing Zhixie's appearance, he has to go in. Don't worry too much about Alice. If you don't let go, she will never grow up." Bertha said while talking on the flat bottom. The pot is inlaid with two zero-level fire crystals. Zero-level crystals can only be sold for two silver coins outside at most, but they can be sold for six silver coins in Danluer, especially the fire type ones, which are as high as ten silver coins. The price is so high that it is rare in the world. It can be said that Bai When Sha bought it, she was depressed for a while.
Ishuson also knew that what Bertha said was reasonable, but he was still worried that Alice would be in danger. This little girl is lively and lively all day long, like a pistachio. She can always do something every day. It is a pleasure to be with her, which makes Ishuson more and more uncomfortable with her not being around.
Bertha comforted her again: "Don't worry, as long as Bing Zhixie is here, she won't be in any danger." When she thought about the giant dragon summoned by Bing Zhixie, she was extremely shocked. Have you never eaten pork or seen pigs running? Rumors about dragons are everywhere on the mainland. Subduing the dragon clan is not something that can only be done by strong people.
Ixusen didn't think so. After all, she had been staying with Bing Zhixie for several months. Although Bing Zhixie felt very reliable, the level of danger would also increase when she was with him. From the Eye of the Abyss to Lan Yin, to the nightmare of the afterlife, and now to Danluer's magic war, she had lived in the past decades, and the total danger she encountered was not as great as this one. It felt as if these dangers didn't come out of nowhere, but that Bing Zhixie was looking for danger to play with.
"You, you should worry about yourself first. The most important thing is to recover from your injuries as soon as possible." Bertha took out a few eggs from the food bag and heated them in a pot of boiling water. These eggs are all hard-boiled, but the weather here is too cold, and the eggs are frozen like iron eggs. If you eat them directly, not to mention that the eggs cannot be bitten, your teeth will bite them off.
A piece of deer steak was fried in the pan. The venison was still the same one that Bing Zhixie beat last time, but there was no need to worry about it being smelly. After frying until soft, add spices and it becomes quite fragrant.
Binghu couldn't eat this kind of hot food, so he could only wrap some stuffing in snow and make more than a dozen snow dumplings for him.
“Hey, Bingbeard, here to eat.”
Ice Beard is called Ice Beard because his beard is frozen.
Bertha shouted, but when there was no response, she had to go outside the tent and shout: "Hey, it's time to eat." Then she made a gesture of eating.
Bingbeard sat on the ice wall and kept looking into the distance down the slope.
Bertha also looked around. At this time, the wind and snow were much lighter, and the field of vision was much farther. I saw snow and dust in the distance far away, as if there was a large group of something running towards this side. Its momentum is like a flood, and you can feel the ground shaking from such a distance...
