Light Spirit Epic Chapter 2240: Dark Forest (4)
Chapter 2240 Dark Forest (4)
Led by Bedivere, Arthur made his way through a wooded path almost unimpeded to a small cave.
The cave is actually very hidden, and the way to get there is tortuous. Under normal circumstances, outsiders can't find it so easily. And Bedivere just asked a few words from the captured Warg. No one expected that a few simple questions would contain such a large amount of information, explaining the entire complex path. Gotta be clear.
It is estimated that when Bedivere communicated with the Warg, it was not just verbal communication, but also telepathic communication. Arthur thought. Otherwise, it's impossible to explain all this at all.
And the cave in front of them is very hidden, and the entrance of the cave is slightly small and can only accommodate two people to enter directly. Behind the bottleneck-like special hole, the environment inside is more open and can accommodate more people. This cave is really a natural fortress, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the invaders wanted to raid the cave from the front, they first had to pass through the narrow opening with a small number of troops. After passing through the entrance of the cave, the intruder will immediately be ambushed by various traps and guards. It can be said that there is no return. It can be said that the person who built this cave, or made use of the natural structure of this cave as a defense, is very smart---or at least, he (she) knows a lot about the art of warfare.
"There are no enemies along the way. It is estimated that all their remaining troops are left in the cave waiting to meet us." Bedivere said: "And the cave is estimated to be full of traps. Once you enter, you will be trapped. Attack."
"What about the inside?"
"I can't figure it out. That stupid wolf has a limited IQ and can't explain it clearly. The way he came here can explain it, but the situation in the cave can't be explained."
"There is no way, then we can only break through from the front, do we act according to the opportunity?" Arthur knew how dangerous a frontal breakthrough was, but they had no other way now.
"Your Majesty." However, a black crow shadow flew over and landed on the shoulders of the blond boy.
"You're finally here, Merlin." Arthur hummed slightly dissatisfiedly: "And I think you've figured out what's going on in the cave?"
"The cave itself is a trap, Your Majesty." Merlin's voice echoed in the black crow shadow, but it was actually a telepathy, directly conveying to Arthur's mind: "The man inside The maximum defense is activated, as long as you pass through the entrance of the cave, all the organs in the front of the cave will be triggered in one go. The ground is covered with viscous grease, burning coke will be poured down from the top of the head, and the left and right sides are pressed with spike traps. No matter how agile you are, you can't escape."
"Humph." Arthur grunted. It seems that their opponents have already sensed their arrival, and I am afraid that they know that Arthur and Bedivere are not easy to mess with, so they have been prepared.
"But no matter how perfect the fortification is, there must be loopholes, right?" Arthur added: "Tell me there is another entrance to this cave."
"Indeed." Merlin replied: "It should be used as an emergency escape for the people inside. At the top of the cliff, at the other end of the cave. Although the cave's builders concealed the emergency escape very cleverly, But nothing can fool Harry's eyes."
Because the crow shadow under Merlin's control is just a phantom, and it is a projection created by Harry the Night Demon in this different world nine hundred years later. It has almost no mass, can penetrate many objects like a mist, penetrate through various buildings, come and go freely, and at the same time detect a lot of information that is absolutely impossible to detect by normal methods.
"Understood. Then infiltrate from the other side and kill them by surprise." The King of Knights asked, "By the way, have you found out the true face of the witch in the cave?"
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I can't find that."
"Why? I thought Harry's projection could penetrate walls and break through walls, so he knew everything."
"This is normally the case. But there is a way to the lower secret room in the cave, and the witch is hidden in it. There is a very powerful exorcism enchantment on the way to the lower level, and even Harry's projection cannot penetrate into it. Among them."
"Amazing." Arthur frowned: "This witch has some skills."
In this world where the photon civilization is extremely low, there are not many people who can use magic, and of course there are even fewer people who can use powerful magic. Despite this, there is still such a witch who can build a barrier that even the high-level demon Harry can't penetrate, so it seems that she has a very high level of magic skills, and she is indeed a powerful character. Be very careful when dealing with this witch.
But having said that, Arthur still has the Seraph Sword in his hand, so there shouldn't be anything to be afraid of. The scabbard of the holy sword can perform the same move as the scabbard of the king [Spellbreaker]. This move is the nemesis of all magic, golems, and paranormal phenomena in the world. When the Spellbreaker activates, the amazing golden light When it explodes from the scabbard and covers the entire world, all magic within its influence area will fail, all the golems illuminated by its light will stop moving, and even the "boundless darkness" will disintegrate.
Unless the opponent takes the lead, as long as the Seraph Sacred Sword is in hand, Arthur will win against any magician.
How it actually turns out depends on the scene. The King of Knights swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He has neither too much nor too little experience in the battle of magicians, and no amount of experience is useless. Sometimes the ever-changing attack methods of magicians may make him suffer.
Arthur and Bedivere went around the back mountain together and managed to find the secret escape that Merlin was referring to. The exit was blocked by several bushes, and the surface was still a small gap made up of several naturally formed rocks, and normal people could not pass through at all. But as long as you get close to the stone crack and observe carefully, you will find that the stone crack is actually much larger than it looks from a distance. If you touch it with your hands, you will feel an illusory protruding stone, which should be an illusion. This extremely cleverly arranged secret escape exit is normally impossible for outsiders to discover. Even if you occasionally see this hidden stone crevice, you will never imagine that the gap is so large that people can actually pass through it.
What a stealthy job. Seeing this, Arthur also admired the witch who built all this more and more. She is indeed quite smart and capable. It's a shame to have to destroy such a witch. However, this witch is related to the source of the Black Death, and is most likely the culprit in spreading the deadly plague that once killed hundreds of thousands of people. She must not stay.
Arthur carefully covered himself with a cloth below his eyes before going deeper into the cave. His memory was fragmented, and at first he didn't know what the cloth towel he was carrying with him was useful, or it was only after Bedivere reminded him that he knew. This cloth towel is said to be a strong filter material, which is also soaked with strong bactericidal agents to filter the "dirty things" in the air. It carried a strong medicine, which could even be regarded as a fragrance, just enough to offset the rancid smell that accompanied the plague and death. When a large-scale plague broke out in England, the people who handled (burned) the corpses wore this kind of embalming cloth on their faces to avoid being infected by the Black Death.
While it's unclear what the medicine on this towel actually does to defend against disease, it has some sort of ability to filter the air. Before entering the cave, which was suspected to be the source of the plague infection, Arthur put on a cloth towel and masked his face, breathing the filtered, medicinal-smelling air, at least feeling at ease.
Bedivere doesn't think so - he's not a human, he's a demon. The Black Death didn't seem to infect wolves at all, so he had no pressure to contract the disease.
One man and one wolf sneaked into the cave from the crack that was quite wide and could barely pass through. During this period, there was no sound at all, and the garrison in the cave was probably not alert.
"Sneaking in so easily?" Big White Wolf asked in a low voice.
"After all, it's a very secretly hidden emergency escape exit. The other party didn't expect us to find it." Arthur replied, his voice was small and vague due to the cloth wrap on his face.
Anyway, they were still in a relatively narrow corridor (Arthur even suspected that the entire cave was such a narrow corridor that was easy to defend and difficult to attack). While there don't appear to be any traps near this corridor, raising an alarm in a place like this and being besieged by a horde of enemies would still put Arthur and Bedivere at a decisive disadvantage. When the number of opponents is large, the frequency of attack is very high, and if the terrain is narrow, there is no room for them to dodge, and they will be easily hit.
At this time, it is still necessary to keep a low profile and sneak up. At least until you find a more open space where you can make a big noise, you shouldn't try to stimulate the opponent's defense force.
"By the way, what are the enemy configurations in the cave?" The blond boy asked the big white wolf while crouching and sneaking.
"I only asked about a pack of wolves and some large beasts like bears, but I don't think they will appear in this area~IndoMTL.com~ Bedivere replied: "The other force configuration is unknown. It's the same sentence, the wolf doesn't know much, its IQ is limited, and it can't speak clearly. "
Arthur can't help but let out a "tsk" to express his dissatisfaction. What Bedivere said was the same as what he didn't say, and the result was still based on on-the-spot inspection. At this time, they also sneaked through a long and deep corridor, and came to a small stone room in front of them. There is hardly any lighting in the stone room, only the glowing moss-like vegetation clinging to the surroundings makes the dark stone room slightly visible. However, there is something in the stone room. When Arthur saw it, he froze instantly.
It's a scorpion! Judging from the special black and white texture on its body, it should be a species unique to England, a highly poisonous insect called the Death Scorpion! Moreover, this scorpion is particularly huge, as big as a cow!
The strange, unique black death scorpion with three scorpion tails uses its feet to sense the vibrations of the surrounding ground to detect enemies. Arthur and Bedivere had just been groping from the corridor, and it immediately sensed the existence of Arthur and turned to look over!
The thing rubs against its thorny and downy bipedal maxillopods, making a creepy insect chirping!
