Light Spirit Epic Chapter 2243: Dark Forest (7)
Chapter 2243 Dark Forest (7)
It was a thrilling moment.
Of course, when Arthur heard the sound of the hemp rope breaking beside him, he made a quick decision and ran to the other end of the bridge.
And of course, he is now using the body of a teenager, with as little equipment as possible. He is as light as a swallow and also extremely fast.
Without these two "of course", Arthur would surely have fallen before reaching the other end of the bridge.
But even with these two "of course", Arthur suddenly felt empty under his feet three yards from the edge of the bridge, and could no longer use the planks on the bridge to push forward, because the bridge behind him was completely Broken, the bridge that was broken in two is falling down!
"Yeah!" Knowing that the distance was not enough to reach the other side, Arthur felt that his feet were empty, he bent down and lowered his center of gravity, and at the same time stretched out his left hand to grab the ground!
Fortunately, although the bridge is broken, the suspension bridge on Arthur's side still has wooden boards to stand on. Arthur stretched out his hand and grabbed this quick book for a foothold, but now he was hitting the bridge on the cliff on the opposite bank at a constant speed. The bridge was damp and moldy, and it couldn't bear tossing. When Arthur grabbed the bridge and pulled it hard, it shattered! But fortunately, Arthur used the strength of his hand to grasp the bridge plate, and flew a short distance diagonally upwards, and he was only two yards away from the opposite bank! He flew forward with all his strength, and at the same time stretched out his hands to try to grab the cliff in front of him, hoping that when he hit the cliff, he could grab something to avoid falling!
However, the distance is still a little short! When he flew out to a yard away from the cliff, he felt that his body was falling downward, and he could no longer fly forward, or even continue to approach the cliff by inertia!
The situation is very bad. Not only will he not be able to grasp the cliff, but he will even fall down into the bottomless black abyss and turn into flesh!
"Ha!" At this desperate moment, a thick and hairy arm stretched out and grabbed the two thin arms of the blond boy!
"It's a close call!" Bedivere grabbed Arthur tightly, dragged him to the foothold on the cliff, and finally took the King of Knights out of danger.
"Thanks, luckily you're here." Arthur said after he got his feet on the ground.
"Of course." Bedivere floated a little: "But what did you want to do? Suddenly you took out the holy sword and used [Spellbreaker]. Of course, such a big movement will break the suspension bridge. You don't want to. Are you dead?"
"To drive away the bats, of course." Arthur said: "Do you think there is any other way to deal with the vampire bats?"
"Huh?" Bedivere was stunned: "What are you talking about?"
"Bat." Arthur was also stunned: "Didn't you just besiege from all directions? Don't tell me you didn't see it!"
The wolf can't help laughing: "There's no bat! Arthur, have you lost your mind? I've been watching from this side of the cliff, except that you raised the holy sword for no reason, and didn't see anything unusual at all? "
The King of Knights fell silent for a moment.
"Illusion?" Arthur was annoyed and deduced the answer in the next instant.
The bat swarm that had just been bombed by his [Spellbreaker] disappeared instantly. Although everything just now was so realistic that Arthur had the illusion of "if he doesn't do it, he will be killed" for a moment, but in fact there was not even a bat around, and there was no being bombarded by [Spellbreaker]. The paralyzed bats that flew and landed on the ground could not find a group of bats that continued to resist and wanted to attack. It seems that this should be an illusion.
"If it's an illusion, I should also be hit with it." Bedivere denied it.
"Not necessarily." The King of Knights frowned and analyzed: "It may be an illusion specially used to affect the human brain, and it is ineffective against the demons. The spiritual resistance of the demons is higher than that of humans; there are even some It may have to meet the conditions to take effect - for example, it is specially effective for people who pass through the bridge. You just climbed the rock wall directly, maybe you did not meet the conditions for the illusion to take effect?"
"Perhaps." Bedivere didn't want to argue with Arthur: "Anyway, beautiful job. You managed to break the drawbridge beautifully. The way back is probably not easy. We can only go further. ."
"Yes." King Arthur replied lightly, clenching his fists.
(It's a big loss!)
(The trick that has been preserved because of an illusion has been used, maybe it has been seen by the witch.)
(When facing the witch, [Spellbreaker] is not new, so I can't give her a surprise.)
(Of course, if it's just a flash, the witch may not be able to understand the essence of [Spellbreaker], and I don't know that this trick can interrupt all the magic being cast.)
(Hopefully.)
Arthur glanced at the road ahead. This platform protruding from the rock face began as an extremely narrow stone ladder, and continued down to another raised rock platform twenty yards away. And the stone ladder only has room for one foot to stand on. If you want to go down, you must stick to the wall and move slowly step by step. The road is very dangerous, no less than the suspension bridge just now.
Bedivere is easy to deal with, since he's a werewolf, just use his claws to grab a hole in the wall to immobilize himself. It has always been Arthur who has had difficulty advancing.
And in the same way, he has nowhere to hide on this dangerous road, and he can't fight back if he is attacked. It can be said that he is slaughtered by others. The insidious and cunning witch will definitely not let Arthur pass through here. What if there is another ambush? What if there is another illusion that affects passersby and tricks Arthur into throwing himself into a snare? Or, the road itself is a trap. Step on the wrong step to trigger the trap, and a sharp spear will pierce from the wall. What should I do?
Wait. Something seems wrong. Arthur thought about it carefully again, and at the same time he looked around and saw that the cave was farther and deeper, more suspension bridges and stone ladders, and more dangerous terrain. Then he suddenly thought of something.
"Bedie, is there a lot of blood around here? Are there many murder traps?" he asked.
"No. Although there is a **** smell, I can say that it is not strong." The wolf replied: "Probably because there are not many people who can find such a hidden back door, and then fumble here, there are not many people. ."
Arthur was silent for another moment. But this is also normal, after all, the terrain of this cave is special. Those who die here will fall down, to the invisible bottom of the cave. The corpse was invisible from here, and it was even more difficult to detect the smell of blood—even for a wolf with a sharp nose like Bedivere.
Yes, it seems normal. But I always felt something was wrong.
"Merlin just said that the small hole we entered is the emergency escape exit of this cave, right?" Arthur then asked: "The witch hides the hole so secretly, so that she can be in the darkest place. There's a place to escape in a critical situation, right?"
"Of course. So...what's the matter?" Bedivere was a little confused about what Arthur was thinking.
" And this cave is connected to the secret escape exit. If you go further down, you should reach the location of the witch. That is to say, if the witch wants to escape, she must pass through this dangerous cave to reach the escape exit. ?"
"Of course."
"That's weird," Arthur thought about it, and finally figured it all out. The sense of disobedience he felt from just now was because of this!
"Suppose someone attacks the witch's habitat, and the witch can't cope with these people and must escape." Arthur continued to analyze: "So what will happen to her? The situation may be extremely critical, and you must flee against time. She may be injured, or she may be unable to cast spells due to the depletion of her magic power. Moreover, as a witch, who mainly practices magic, her physical strength is not as good as those of the adventurers who came to attack her habitat. Then------"
Hearing this, Bedivere also understood. The wolf widened his eyes and continued: "It is extremely difficult for her to walk through this dangerous cave, let alone escape from here to the emergency exit!"
"That's right." Arthur nodded. The idea is finally clear: "The road here is not for witches to take. Maybe there is an easier shortcut, only the witch herself knows, a more secret shortcut, allowing her to pass through this dangerous cave and directly to the escape exit. side."
"Is this the case?" Although he also agreed with King Arthur's hypothesis, Bedivere tried to refute it as much as possible, trying to find other possibilities: "But is it possible... You don't have to go, just use spells to make yourself fly through this cave?"
"That's one of the possibilities. But I also said, what if she's exhausted her magic and mental strength in battle, and is already very tired?"
"Why can't she run away before she runs out of mana?"
"Oh, no, believe me." Arthur narrowed his eyes and replied: "The design of the front and back doors of this cave is extremely ingenious, and there are traps and ambushes everywhere. The witch has invested too much for this habitat. The energy and capital~IndoMTL.com~ She will never give up here so easily. She will definitely keep her last magic power to deal with the invaders. It is really too much to fight, so she considers escaping, and it is only when the magic power is exhausted. In this state, escaped by his own physical strength."
"...The analysis makes sense." Bedivere had to accept.
"Among the many possibilities, eliminate those incorrect possibilities one by one, and the most simple and direct one that remains is often the truth of the matter." Arthur narrowed his eyes and analyzed: "Beddy, bring I'll go back. Go back to the position just before the drawbridge. I believe that there must be another hidden shortcut there. Let's jump over this deep hole full of traps and go straight to the habitat of the underground witch."
"Okay. Let's go." The wolf picked up Arthur without saying a word and walked back. He didn't have to cross the broken bridge, but jumped directly from the rock wall next to him, and soon returned to the original entrance of the entire cave.
After dismounting from the wolf's back, Arthur carefully examines his surroundings again, trying to find a shortcut.
Then he saw something, and it was hidden in a small crevice in the side wall.
