Age of Adepts Chapter 50: underground trip
Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no popup, free to read!
There is silence in the dark and deep underground tunnel.
Underground World originally had no road, only crooked rock formation cracks and watercourses eroded by thousands of years of flowing water. However, after digging through underground creature for countless generations, crypts, caves, and caves, which are larger or smaller, are connected by long or short tunnels and tunnels, which constitutes the Underground World. Stereo channels.
There will never be a straight road like the ground here. All the passages are cleverly opened along the cracks of the rock formations and along the old waterways, winding and winding. Sometimes Mingming and the next cave are separated by thick rock formations that are less than ten meters apart, but can only be reached by winding back and forth for dozens of miles in the dark channel.
Countless stone stalactites hang from the top of the cave, and there are some tooth-like protrusions on the ground. Water drops dripped between the rocks, and the ground passing by was covered with wet lichen.
To be honest, walking in such a closed and secluded environment can easily give people the horror feeling that they will be crushed to death by the hundreds of tons of dirt and rocks overhead.
Grim and his team of ten were on the torches, standing in a long line, walking hard and slowly in the underground channel.
The flare of the torch can only illuminate a narrow area less than 5 meters, and the hidden cracks on the cave wall blow out a gust of wind. The torches flickered for a while, projecting their shadows on the side of the stone wall, becoming teeth and claws, like a twisted demon.
Although they tried their best to keep silent while walking, the sound of rustling footsteps, the sound of the body rubbing against the wall of the cave, spread far and far in the deep and dark tunnel. This will bring a lot of unexpected danger to their later trips.
After walking for 3 hours, everyone finally came to the first stop on the tour Path.
Seriously speaking, the first three hours of travel are only a small trial before they enter Underground Cave. From here, it is the real starting point of their exploration mission.
"Okay, it's time for us to break up here. Everyone strives to complete the task quickly, and then return here to gather. I hope you will be on your way!" The clear voice of Sablina also looked snoring in this dull cave.
Ten ten Apprentice Adept, five teams, rushed to different regions to complete their tasks. The mission at the deepest point of underground was the responsibility of the Sablina and Sila teams. Of course, everyone had no objection to the most dangerous task that she took the initiative to take, so she also assumed her leadership.
For the group Mary and Grim, although everyone is unhappy, they can only be assigned the simplest task in comparison. After all, this time the picture hurt them sharply, and next time the team will only have eight people to do the work of ten people.
Everyone is wearing a thick black cloth robe, covering all their skins to prevent the breath and body temperature from leaking into the eyes of underground creature with infrared vision. Blessing two words to each other softly, the five teams submerged into the darkness outside the cave and ran to different goals.
After breaking up, I walked along the dark and dark passage in front of me for half a minute, and Grim stopped.
I listened for a while, and I could no longer hear the movement in the distance, Grim then extinguished the torch in my hand. When the last light disappeared into the shadow, a strange and strange world appeared in front of Grim.
The dazzling light moss growing around the cave wall exudes faint cold light in the deep darkness, and draws a completely unique and strange scene in the eyes of Grim, which has a low light vision temporarily. Against the faint light, the darkness is slowly fading, replaced by a green and magical world.
The eerie rock walls are black, and the areas where the currents gather are gray. Except for the large green light, which is scattered in the Grim weird vision, it is a large area of gray and black. However, in the corner of Darkness far away from the cave wall, one or two weird red dots can be seen faintly.
The red dot indicates the leaked life energy.
Looking at the size of the red dot, it should be small-type creature like Rock Scorpion or gecko.
Grim tilted his head and looked at it. Scarlet-clothed Mary is still the gorgeous red gauze skirt, with large areas of greasy white skin exposed. But weirdly, even if Grim is only 3 steps away from her, it can't detect the temperature unique to half-line life species. If infrared vision alone, I am afraid that Mary in his eyes is no different from a human-shaped stalagmite.
Okay, okay, vampire's method is really unpredictable.
With infrared vision, with the concealment of life, and the super high Agility, this kind of deep and dark Underground World is indeed more suitable for them as agility-type killer.
Grim pulled the hood, walked ahead, and started the journey along the rugged road that turned down.
Their mission is near a underground water pool 7 miles away. It may pass two or three underground creature habitats along the way, but the threat is not great. As long as you are careful, there is no problem to pass without damage.
…………
Although they have strong Witchcraft capabilities, in this crisis Underground World, even Mary with Advanced Level apprentice status is just a toddler.
Grim, who thought he was ready, had not walked 100 meters before he encountered his first ambush into Underground World.
Yes, it's an ambush!
A Rock Python with its body crouched in a crack in the rock wall passed away at that moment in Grim, and suddenly rushed out of it, and the stink and fierce snake mouth fangs bit into its neck without hesitation.
I can't be caught. I can't be caught.
The icy rock wall blocked the weak breath of Rock Python. When Grim saw a red spot expand in front of him, the venom-filled fangs of Rock Python were also close to him.
If Grim has more than 10 points of Agility, maybe he can still respond, but the Agility of 4 points severely limits his instinct. Let him only wait for the fierce bite in horror eyes closed.
A Rock Python can't bite him, but the suffering of the flesh is inevitable.
呲 ...
A sharp wind-breaking sound sounded in his ear, and the Mary clearly behind him appeared in front of him the next second. And referring to it like a knife, the sound of wind breaking through the ears is endless, and the Rock Python was chopped into seven by her in an instant.
A stench of blood began to permeate the passage.
Grim took a few deep breaths, which calmed down the restless heartbeat, and a cold sweat came from the body. These **** underground creature, so ambush will pick places!
Grim's has a faint fever on his cheeks, although the channel is dark and lightless.
Enlarge, enlarge! Theoretical knowledge is theoretical knowledge. I think that I have stored so many skills and experience in adventure, but there are still so many unexpected traps in actual life.
After this twist, the two changed their positions.
A red Mary walked ahead in a light and silent way, and any underground creature that emerged from the hiding place could not escape her sharp nails like magic weapons. Even if it was a raid close at hand, she could use her super high Agility to send the first cut to the enemy first.
So in just one hour, eleven underground creature have died under her hands.
Vaguely, Grim can hear the roar of creature fighting for food from the channel behind it. It seems that a small-type war is inevitable. In Underground World, it is a taboo to make unnecessary sounds or have wounds on your body. It is easy to provoke a bigger and more fierce underground creature.
Although with the strength of Mary and Grim's, they will not fear such small characters, but they will cause unnecessary trouble to their schedule.
The first real trouble occurred in the 7th hour after they entered underground, and a group of Hook Horror attacked them.
This kind of Hook Horror widely distributed around underground resembles a little dinosaur in creature scale armor, standing upright and only 2 meters tall. Although their size is not huge, Skeleton is thick and densely covered with scaled armor. The huge mouth is filled with two rows of thick, sharp fangs shining with cold light, and the sticky saliva is dripping continuously.
They did not choose a sneak attack like those of small-type underground creature. Instead, they waited for Grim to enter their encirclement before stepping out of the darkness on a steady pace. Before seeing them, Grim first saw a pair of yellow earthy eyes.
This hard-skinned Monster is very difficult to deal with, at least the sharp fingers of Mary are difficult to break through their dense scale armor. Does not attack the weak points of the armpits, eye sockets, and head and neck crevices, Mary's attacks have nothing to do with them. And the pair of slender and sharp upper limbs on their chests might have caused her terrible harm.
If coupled with the impact of the heavy body and the palsy retarding effect unique to earth attribute magic beast, the general Apprentice Adept can hardly retreat in such a small area.
Shaking his head with a bitter smile, Grim took out two Summoning Crystal Cores and threw them on the nearby soil.
Although most of the underground channels are excavated in hard rock walls, hard rock layers are used to avoid the collapse of tunnels, but soil and sand are still everywhere, so Grim's Earth Magic Puppet is not short of plastic materials.
A silent growl sounded, and Demon Alligator Hunter slowly emerged from the side of Grim.
"Oh, good boy, you have hidden a hand!" Scarlet-clothed Mary sounded in the darkness.
With Agility at Mary17, it is easy to get rid of the entanglement of Hook Horror. If it wasn't for Grim's's "dragging", Mary would only need to pass through the opponent's rudimentary encirclement in only 5 seconds.
Several attacks on the sides of several Hook Horrors without any interception, Mary could only give up the attempt, slipped back to the side of Grim and carefully looked at this novelty.
This ... seems a little different from what I saw last time! Is this mud crocodile the new tadpole he obtained after beheading Giant Swamp Alligator King? It seems that this kid is not as weak as he thought!
With endless questions, Mary watched Grim step on the mud crocodile's back and was sat down. Then, in a blast of slight tremor, the mud crocodile twisted its huge body towards the surrounding Hook Horror mill. Overwhelmed.
