There are still rumbling noises beneath the ground, as if a group of evil beasts from the abyss are rushing between the rock and the mud. Lily lay down at the entrance carefully and looked down, her eyes flickered slightly. Light, but in the deep darkness she could only see a blur of shadows moving quickly: "It seems that it did not catch up ... that thing does not look like it will turn."
Along with the sound of Pū lā lā, the Vivian bat group re-condensed into a human form. She threw a small bat at the entrance of the cave to get close to observe. This small bat burst out a burst of light underneath. At that moment, both Vivian and Lily See the following situation: The huge "tentacles" are still extending forward, the rough brown-black skin is flashing quickly at the bottom of the shaft, and the details of Lily Werewolf's super vision are not clear. However, this tentacle does not seem to sense the situation above the shaft, but just blindly catches up, or as Lily said, this thing will not turn.
After a while, the tentacles finally stopped advancing. It seemed to have reached the end of the tunnel. After hesitating for a while, it began to shrink back slowly, leaving only a slightly enlarged one along the way, which became smooth again. Complete rock tunnel.
The two of them were relieved. Lily was a fart. The unit sat on the ground and patted his chest with his hands: "It seems to have returned, scaring the individual ..."
After that, she rubbed her eyes again and looked at Vivian with a bit of complaint: "Your lightning strike brightness is too high, and the dog's eyes are almost blind."
Vivian has no idea whether the second half of Lily is an exaggerated or ordinary statement ...
"So what the **** is that?" Lily sat on the ground for a while and quickly got up, looking at Vivian curiously while flapping the dust on his body, "You have seen this knowledge well, have seen this kind of thing What? "
Vivian shook his head: "I haven't seen it at first glance, it looks a bit like an underground creature, maybe a giant creature's tentacles, but its skin does not look like an animal ... it looks like a plant, Crumpled. Unfortunately, the situation was too messy at the time and I didn't see it clearly. But I got some samples — "
She raised her hand while showing it and showed a large piece of black material. It turned out that when she jumped up just now, she divided a part of the bat and tore some tissue samples from the surface of the tentacles. Lily immediately gathered up with interest, her eyes sparkling in the light of two rounds of silver moonlight, and the details of the black tissue were clearly discernible in the moonlight: it had a rumpled surface covered with cracked bark The same uniform crack, hard edges, but overall flexibility. Vivian turned it over, and the two saw a peculiar pattern on the back of this tissue sample, which had some plant characteristics.
"It really looks like a plant and smells like it," Lily sniffed his nose. "Well, it's definitely not meaty. What do you think of bats?"
Vivian turned his head to look at Gnarled Grove not far away, thoughtfully: "... It is said that Gnarled Grove has a larger body underground, a group of roots that spread to the center of blood lake and the depths of Dragonspine Ridge ... according to here The position of the tentacle and the shape of the tentacle just now ... Is it the number of Gnarled Grove? "
Lily suddenly felt hairy: "No, isn't it! The tree roots will still run to chase people?"
Vivian put the black matter away and turned to Gnarled Grove: "It ’s just a guess, but the possibility is high. There is no shortage of strange things in this world. This forest feels strange to me from the beginning , I do n’t believe it ’s just a simple plant ... "
Lily keeps up with Vivian in two steps: "What are you doing? Would n’t you plan to go to the woodland to dig a pit to verify it? What if you dig out the tentacles again?"
Vivian shook his head: "Of course I wouldn't take this risk. I just wanted to see if the trees and the 'black skin' on my hand were the same substance."
She said a little silence here, and said to Lily while thinking: "Are you also not surprised? We assume that the tentacles are the root system of Gnarled Grove, but according to local legend, these underground root systems are in very deep places. , The locals even thought it was just a mythical story-they lived in this place for hundreds of thousands of years without being attacked by that kind of tentacles. The only sighting report was that a group of dwarves were mining too deep in the mountains before they met Something suspicious was found, and there was no definite evidence for that report ... "
Although Lily has two characters, his mind is not slow at all: "Are you saying that these tentacles or roots have only recently been transferred to the shallow layer?"
Vivian nodded solemnly: "Gnarled Grove has been growing in this place for 10,000 years. The kind of tentacles-whether it is roots or not-should be quite old creatures, but the ones in the Beinz region The residents have never encountered it, which means that the thing has been living deep underground, but the tunnel under the outpost is only a dozen meters deep from the surface ... I suspect this kind of tentacle is about to come to the surface. "
The Lily came out with cold sweat and goose bumps in an endless stream: "His-I want to go home a little bit! This sounds so sloppy!"
"You haven't seen anything more **** than this. The mythological era has monsters that challenge the three views. You must not be scared to death in that era?"
"Who said! You ca n’t underestimate the courage of Werewolf! I just feel a little sick."
"When you say this, let go of your tail and walk with your tail in your arms. You are so embarrassed to be so straightforward ..."
The two moved away noisily, and not long after they left, there was a sudden rush of horseshoes from the other direction.
A team of heavily armed church knights and church mages rode to the ruins of the outpost. They were sentinel units patrolling the surrounding area at night. These soldiers turned over and dismounted outside the camp, and cautiously stepped into the ruins of the outpost. Someone was talking to other people: "It was just the movement from this direction ..."
"Sounds like it came from underground ... Don't those stone monsters learn to burrow?"
"Goddess is pitiful, and monsters will not make holes. I do n’t know. Who must have made a hole in your brain!"
At this time, a sentry suddenly shouted in front: "There is an authentic way!"
The soldiers gathered in a hurry, they found the shaft left by Lily.
The captain of this small sentinel unit thought a little near the shaft and named two soldiers: "Jefferson, Homan, you go with me."
The sky, two cold silver moons still hang high, the **** red spot on the main moon looks down like a blood-filled and indifferent eye, looking down on the tiny creatures crawling stupidly on the ground until a dark cloud floats Come, cover that **** eye.
The moonlight darkened, and Hao Ren looked up at the sky: "The dark clouds are coming up, and there may be rain."
Nangong Wuyue was especially happy: "It ’s raining well, it ’s raining ~~"
"Hush—" Hao Ren suddenly pressed Nangong Wuyue's mouth, "There is a cave in front."
In the stone walls not far in front, a hole ingeniously hidden by the surrounding mountains and rocks appeared in front of the two people. If it was not that the observation power was greatly strengthened, Hao Ren almost ignored the violations in those mountains and rocks just now. Nangong Wuyue immediately increased vigilance, silently sliding on the ground, approaching the hole with Hao Ren.
A cold, slightly fishy strange wind blowing intermittently from the cave, Nangong Wuyue subconsciously opened the water mist enchantment to block these strange winds out: "There is an evil breath inside."
Hao Ren accidentally glanced at Siren: "How do you know it is evil breath?"
"Speaking like this is more sensational!" Nangong Wuyue akimbo, and then tongue out, "Okay, inherited, although I am a Siren, my dad at least inherited a sixth sense, I think this There is nothing good in it. "
Hao Ren shrugged and took the lead in the lead: "Hurry up, the progress bar is almost unsustainable."
The cave is deeper than expected. After entering, Hao Ren saw a long cave that didn't know where to extend. The walls on both sides were neat and smooth, with obvious signs of artificial excavation.
Obviously, he finally encountered a big secret.
There are many twists and turns in the cave, but fortunately there are no headaches and dark roads. Hao Ren and Nangong Wuyue do n’t know how long they walked inside, and suddenly found a light in front of them.
It was just a torch stuck in the rock wall, but the light was enough to prove that someone was inside. (To be continued.)
