Lily exclaimed in front of all of us to keep everyone busy and rushed forward. Hao Ren instantly thought of the kind of underground tentacles encountered when Husky and Bat detected intelligence last night. He groaned in his heart: Sure enough That's right, the underground cave of blood lake is connected to the root system of Gnarled Grove!

With this idea, he fully supported the shield and ran to the front, ready to deal with a fierce battle and cover the retreat of others: According to Vivian and Lily, those tentacles will actively attack foreign enemies!

But when he ran beside Lily, he realized that no enemies had hit him.

"This is ..." The beard immediately followed Hao Ren. Rao used his concentration as an ascetic monk, and saw the spectacular scene before him still shaking from the heart. "Is this the underground part of the legendary Gnarled Grove? Is this cave connected to them? "

At the end of the cave is a huge cave, which is slightly smaller than the place where there was a water hole, but it is still vast and amazing. And the most shocking thing in the cave is the numerous beard roots pierced from the rock above!

The smallest ones have a diameter of one meter and meander. They protrude from the rock layer above the cave, grow in the air, criss-cross, and bend to form a structure like a thorny net. This "big net" almost covers three quarters of the top of the cave, so that the original rock layer can only be seen vaguely from the gap between these roots. A large number of roots grow irregularly, and a small part of them hangs down to the ground, even penetrating the ground of the cave deeply, while a large number of roots are gradually attached to the walls of the cave and gradually spread and merge into those that look very hard. In the rocks.

The upper part of the cave is full of these huge roots. Hao Ren glanced up and experienced an indescribable majesty and magnificence from those monstrous black roots-of course, it came from the face. The psychological pressure is almost scary.

"... this is the true body of Gnarled Grove ..." Hao Ren muttered to himself, despite all the previous speculations, he never expected to witness such a thrilling underground part of this ancient plant, "This should be just a A small part ... maybe this entire underground cave system is used to accommodate these roots! "

The bearded face shuddered a few times, and finally he could only meditate quietly with his hands on his chest: "Goddess is sorry ..."

The young monk next to him is more open to thinking: "It does n’t matter, it ’s all created by the goddess. According to the sacred classics, all goddess creations are brothers and sisters with us, and Gnarled Grove is the oldest sacred creature. We believe in piety. , Be safe here. "

Becky suddenly burst into tears: "Goddess ... you made the eldest brother too ugly ..."

So the four ascetic monks immediately glared at the mercenary girl who had no words.

"It looks like they won't move," Lily calmed down at this time. The experience of being chased by her tentacles last night made her scared. She now stood upright as soon as she calmed down. The body pretends to be an expert, "Well, it seems that there are many kinds of tentacles, and the tentacles buried in the deep layer will not move."

Vivian glanced at her: "Don't pretend to be a big-tailed wolf, Mao is still blown up, you should go down with Mao first."

Lily flicked her tail. This time I did n’t mention her theory of "big tail is good", but ran to the cave to observe the roots up close.

"Why doesn't the root of the tree move here?" Hao Ren is thinking about this problem seriously. He looks at Vivian, "You confirm that this is the kind of thing you encountered last night? Will you meet it last night? Is not the root of the tree at all? "

"It is indeed these things," but Vivian is very determined. She again took out the sample fragments from her arms, "Can be compared."

After the comparison, the result is undoubtedly, the monstrous roots in front of you are the tentacles where the bat and the Husky fought three hundred rounds last night, but these functions in the cave are obviously different, they are not moveable.

"The life form of Gnarled Grove has surpassed the plant in the general sense," a group of people walked carefully in this cave occupied by roots, Vivian thoughtfully analyzed while walking, "presumably its roots are still There are many types, some are for exploration, some are for absorbing nutrients, and some can even be used for combat. The big dog and I met last night should be the kind responsible for exploration. "

"Have you encountered these roots?" Only then did Bearded notice the meaning of Vivian.

Hao Ren will talk about all the information discovered last night. At present, they have only told these things to Austria Ophra, but the four bearded people are more "own" than Austria Ophra, so they It is more natural to talk about these.

"Here !?" The four ascetic monks really reacted more when they heard the heresy. The older nuns even gritted their teeth. "And they also defamed the doctrine of the goddess and even created a false god!"

"And the fool can see that it is an evil spirit," Hao Ren spread his hands. "Even if you don't talk about your faith, you can't let the dangerous guys jump down. The giant brain they call is extremely dangerous. The whole religion The ritual is also mad, I will control it. "

Elson glanced at Hao Ren and thought he was a bit arrogant. An ordinary mercenary commander could even say that he had to deal with heresy in front of the four ascetic masters, but Bearded, they do n’t think so. They know Hao Ren ’s identity, so they just nodded indifferently: “That ’s the best, I ’m glad to see that you have the heart, but it ’s better to let us solve this matter. This is a question of 'here'. "

He deliberately strengthened the tone of the words "we" and "this side". Obviously, even if he had been forced to take off the Plane of Dreams account like Becky, he still regarded this as his first hometown.

"Of course, we have reported this to Marshal Ophra, and soon the parish chief will know that the next step should be a large-scale search for heretics. The rituals of these evil cultists are very cruel and require a lot of flesh and blood, And monsters will be summoned, as long as they are careful when searching, it is not difficult to find. "

Beard nodded, and suddenly looked worried: "I just did n’t expect that there will be corrupters inside the Kingdom Knights and the church ... The depravity is shocking, I do n’t know how long they have been secretly developed, Geer The diocesan parishioner is likely to bear a great responsibility for this. "

Beard is emotional, but Hao Ren is not familiar with Galton, so there is no echo, but he continues to walk across the cave.

At the same time, he asked ASanbaA in his mind: "Where are we probably going now?"

ASanbaA immediately sent an image to Hao Ren ’s mind: "I just left the blood lake range and have not entered the Gnarled Grove area. In addition, the roots we encountered are only a small part of the spread from Gnarled Grove. The machine just increased its power. Scanned and found that more roots really spread directly to the bottom of the lake. "

Sure enough, the really huge part of Gnarled Grove is underground, and its body has penetrated into blood lake, then Hao Ren is also completely certain, and there must be such a "tree root cave" under Dragonspine Ridge!

If you have a chance in the future, you may be able to explore Dragonspine Ridge through this channel ......

Hao Ren thought so, and let ASanbaA record the spatial coordinates of this cave.

Elder Werewolf Elson has maintained a high degree of vigilance after entering this giant cave, whether as a former mercenary or as a current soldier, he remains the most malicious speculation about any strange place: " Be vigilant. It was said that a group of dwarf miners had dug a tunnel deep in the mountains and accidentally dug a root of Gnarled Grove. The results were all crazy. According to the guess of this Blood Clan, these roots have many functions. Encounter roots with the ability to release neurotoxicity or generate mental attack. "

The female members of the team beware of tentacles-Hao Ren silently added this sentence in his heart, but he doubts who is afraid of who is more than a sturdy girl in his team who really encounters tentacles ... … Even the little mermaid who is sleeping in the portable space is not necessarily afraid of these roots, at least from the mentality: Lil Pea will treat this place as a fairytale fortress full of food, similar to the candy house ...

Hao Ren walked forward while thinking about it. When he was about to leave this cave occupied by huge roots, a strange feeling suddenly struck him, making him feel a chill.

It feels like an invisible spy has come from all directions. There are countless eyes staring at you, fleeting, but extremely clear.

Hao Ren looked around in horror. He vaguely remembered this feeling when he first walked in Gnarled Grove.

Is it these roots? ! Are they thinking? ! (To be continued.)
