"Master, there is a strange mountain ahead, and the top of the mountain is still smoking." Nana, who had been running wildly, suddenly said.
Link is still groggy, but with the mysterious power flowing in his body, his condition has improved a lot compared to the beginning. After hearing the sound, he forced his heavy eyelids to look forward.
They are now on a meadow, surrounded by weeds that are half the height of a person, and a town can be seen in the distance. In front of them, there is a forest with sparse trees, which extends to the halfway up the mountain in front of them. superior.
There are no trees on the mountainside, only grass, moss, and boulders, and further up, there is no grass, only gray-black stones are left, and the top of the mountain is a little further away. As Nana said, a wave of Black and gray smoke with sparks is constantly emerging from the top of the mountain.
This terrain feature is so unique, Link recognized the location at a glance, he explained to Nana: "That is an active volcano. We have now reached the central area of Norton Kingdom, this volcano is called 'Azaro' , It erupts every ten years, and there is a lava cave on the top of the mountain, which is full of boiling magma, so it will smoke."
"Oh." Nana seemed very interested, but there were flying demon chasing soldiers behind her, and climbing a mountain would affect her speed, so she was going to go around this high mountain.
"Don't go around, go up the mountain. There are a lot of lava caves in the belly of Mount Azaro, let's go in and get rid of them!" Link said, he clearly remembered that there was a well-developed network of caves in the mountain, which was as complicated as a maze.
In the game, there is an entry-level team copy of Heart of Flame on the belly of Mount Azaro. Link has used it more than 200 times in his previous life. The perfect place for them to get rid of the pursuers behind them.
Getting rid of the pursuers was only one of the reasons, and the other reason was an inexplicable longing in Link's heart.
When he saw this volcano, he immediately thought of the high-temperature lava in the volcano, and then he really wanted to take a look at it, as if some kind of existence was calling him.
This feeling is very strange. As a magician, Link has always had a very peaceful mind. Except for curiosity and enthusiasm when learning magic, he is basically in a state of stillness at other times.
Although there was no way to explain this unexpected mood swing, Link decided to use it as a guide.
Besides, it doesn't hurt to go to the mountain to see the lava.
Nana wanted to go at first, but upon hearing Link's words, she immediately changed to straight forward and galloped all the way forward.
The Screaming Winged Demon has chased after Nana 400 meters away. Although the absolute speed of the two sides is not much different, Nana is running on the ground. Many places are restricted by the terrain, and Link's The body, over time, was slowly overtaken by these demons.
At this time, when the demons saw that puppet rushing straight to the top of the mountain, some demons laughed: "Hahaha, let's go, brothers, let's go ahead and stop them!"
When climbing up a mountain, the speed will decrease, and they are still walking in a slanted line, and they can fly, so there is no such problem at all, they just need to fly all the way forward.
In this way, it is equivalent to their speed being much faster than the opponent out of thin air.
When Nana led Link to the middle of the mountain, the demons had already chased her within 200 meters and were still approaching them quickly.
"On the left, 200 meters away, do you see that gray boulder?" Link pointed.
Nana nodded.
"Rush over."
Two seconds later, Nana bypassed many abrupt rocks and arrived at the position pointed by Link. The Screaming Winged Demon had already chased it a hundred meters away.
Link continued: "Walking around behind the boulder, there is a flat mountain wall, do you see it... Kick it to pieces! Use your strength!"
Nana kicked it over, and there was a loud 'crash' sound, and the mountain wall was shattered into pieces by her kick, revealing a huge hole behind it.
"Go in quickly! When you encounter a fork along the way, always go to the left fork." Link continued to point.
After Nana rushed into the cave, Link managed to release a level 0 light spell, illuminating the way forward.
With just such a basic magic, Link felt a sharp pain in his head. If it wasn't for the game system showing him the effect of weakening the soul, he would even think that his magic ability was permanently abolished.
No sooner had they entered the cave than the screaming demon reached the entrance.
There were a total of 11 screaming demons, all of them surrounded the hole less than two meters high on the mountain wall and looked at each other in blank dismay.
"Is this magician a mouse? Why did he go into the cave as soon as he escaped?" It was the same in the Howling Canyon last time, and this time again, how did their 4-meter-high figures get in such a small hole
"The entrance of the cave is actually not small. We smashed the mountain wall, so we should be able to get in. The key is, how did he know there is a cave here?" A demon spread his hands with fear on his face.
"He must have been here before, and he is very familiar with the situation in the cave. If this is the case, we will definitely be finished when we get in!"
"Then what to do?"
"Wait for the commander!"
So, a group of demons waited for the succubus Mismel around the entrance of the cave.
Mismel's wings were destroyed by Link, and now she has been running on the ground at a very slow speed. A group of demons waited for a full hour before Mismel arrived at the location.
"What's the matter with you? People?"
A demon pointed to the cave: "Go in, that magician is very familiar with this place. We have no choice but to wait for your order."
At this time, Mismel had recovered some of her combat power. She walked to the cave entrance to check it out, then looked at the dark cave entrance, and gritted her teeth: "That magician can't even cast spells, and he is very, very weak. The only thing we need All he cares about is his puppet. But no matter how strong his puppet is, there is only one, and we will follow in!"
Such an excellent chance to kill, it is difficult to come across a second time. If they miss this time and wait for the other party to recover, they are very likely to face a very terrifying legendary magician in the future!
Now that she said so, the Screaming Winged Demons looked at each other, and then one Winged Demon stepped forward, slashed at the stone wall with a sword, and the rubble fell to the ground. , The hole was opened to a height of more than 8 meters and a width of more than 5 meters.
"It's so spacious, so I don't worry!" said a Screaming Wing Demon. He was afraid that the place would be too narrow. If the other party took advantage of his small stature and hid in a corner and stabbed him coldly, he wouldn't know how he died. , now that he is so spacious, and his figure is fully capable of exerting strength, then there is no need to be afraid.
"Go, go in." Mismel ordered.
Screaming demons lined up one by one, and walked into the cave one after another. After walking about 50 meters, the demon at the front said, "Commander, there is a fork ahead."
Mismel was in the middle of the team, and said after hearing the words: "Can you smell where he is going?"
There was a sound of breathing in front of the team, and after a while, the demon replied: "There is a human smell on both sides. This cave is open and windy, so I can't tell where he went."
Mismeier pondered for a while, then said: "In this way, there are 11 people here, plus 12 of me, exactly 6 on each side, and look for one left and one right separately."
After speaking, she began to distribute.
Of these demons, there are 6 peaks at level 7 and 5 at level 8. After some distribution, one team has 4 level 8 and 2 level 7, while the other team has 1 level 8 and 4 level 7, plus Mismel himself, the two sides have almost the same combat power.
"Okay, let's go, if there is any situation, scream and call the police, we will rush over immediately!"
"Understood, Commander!"
Two teams of demons entered the lava cave, one left and one right.
After walking about 100 meters, the pathfinding demon at the front said in a muffled voice: "Commander, there is a fork in the road again. This time there are three roads."
"..." Misi Meier walked forward to look, and sure enough, there was a slightly spacious hall in front of it. There were 4 passages in the hall, one of which was the direction they came from, and the other three led to the depths of the cave. There is a wind with a slight sulfur smell blowing out of the cave, and these breaths are also faintly mixed with the information of the human race.
There are 6 of them now, and there are 3 paths. If we divide our troops to search for them, and if we encounter that puppet sneak attack on the way, the situation will be a bit bad.
"This damn cave!"
Mismeier cursed inwardly, and after pondering for a while, she said to the level 8 demon beside her: "We each take two, divide into two paths, you go that way, I go this way, and explore separately. Remember, keep Put down the sign, don't get lost. Immediately warn if there is any situation!"
The last time Mismeier fought against Nana, the puppet's combat strength was roughly equivalent to that of a level 8 fighter, and with a level 8 demon sitting in the fort, even if it lost to the opponent, it could still delay time.
"Okay." The Screaming Winged Demon was a little apprehensive, but there was nothing he could do.
After the arrangements were made, the two parties went into the cave to find someone.
…
Outside the cave, a small figure appeared. It was a girl from Job. She was carrying a large musket almost as tall as a person, and a bag containing a disabled black cat was tied around her waist, and she was struggling to climb up a boulder.
"Where are they going?" Ma Linda wiped the sweat from her forehead, she was really exhausted from this journey, and the wound on her leg was twitching and painful, as if it had burst open , blood kept flowing out.
But she doesn't care, she has only one thought in her mind now, and that is to save people! She would sacrifice her soul if she could.
"It's just ahead, look, there's a cave entrance there, just go in there. But be careful on the road, the devil also chased in through that cave entrance." Because the fangs were pulled out, the black cat's speech was a bit leaky, The mouth is still full of blood, coupled with the wrinkled hair on the head, the image is not to mention how sad it is.
He has no other thoughts now, he just wants to rescue Link as soon as possible, then stay away from this lunatic Job, and return to Link.
Although Link is more ruthless, he is willing to negotiate with him, and will not abuse him inexplicably like this Job man, woo woo woo~~ He is so miserable!
