"Haha, you fell just now, couldn't it be because you tripped over this small crack!" Several elf rangers beside Mileras kindly teased the unlucky guy just now.
"No, it wasn't the crack that tripped him, but something coming out of the crack!" Lull pointed his finger at an imperceptible mark in the middle of the crack, and said seriously, "Actually, I was just behind him just now, Although it was only for a short moment, I vaguely saw something like a tree branch tripping him. When I regained my senses, it had already disappeared!"
Everyone looked at each other and finally restrained their smiles.
"It may be small animals such as snakes and lizards!" Mileras frowned slightly.
At this time, the setting sun in the sky has only a ray of afterglow, and the light is dim. The stone crack on the ground, which is only two fingers wide, is pitch black, and it seems that there is still a little depth, and the situation inside cannot be seen.
"Maybe!" Lull showed hesitation, but he still dutifully lay down on the ground, put his ears near the cracks in the stone, and listened to the movement underground. He was responsible for scouting and removing traps in the team, and this behavior was not intentional.
Seeing his serious appearance, Qin Lun smiled knowingly, lowered his head to avoid the eyes of everyone, and a small black and red target quietly appeared in the pupil of his left eye. "Gannett's left eye" has a strong ability to see through, and it can just check the situation inside the crack.
Although he helped Longer to investigate, it was only affected by the thieves' due diligence. In fact, he shares the same attitude as Mileras, no matter what happened just now, it's in the past and it's not worth wasting time here.
However, at the next moment, Qin Lun and Longer's expression changed at the same time, and the thief bounced off the ground like an electric shock.
"Get out, don't stay here!" Tai Lun yelled at the crowd around him, and at the same time, he stopped and wanted to jump up.
"Ka Ka Ka!" It's just that his action was still a step late, and the ground around the seven or eight of them suddenly made a crisp cracking sound. It was only two fingers wide just now, and the half-foot-long rock crack burst open suddenly, as if a giant beast opened its mouth, and a circle of spider web-like cracks suddenly appeared on the rocky ground at its core.
Before Qin Lun jumped up, the ground suddenly collapsed. When Kelly and the others rushed over, seven or eight elves, including Qin Lun and Mileras, had disappeared, leaving only a deep dark pit with a radius of Zhang Xu.
"Philip!" Stark called back anxiously.
"Understood!" Philip said with a sullen face, raised the staff in his hand, and whispered, "Chakra!"
A ball of soft light lit up at the top of the staff, illuminating the large pit in the ground. When everyone stood on the edge and looked at it, they couldn't help but change slightly. This big pit is obviously not a natural pothole. The walls of the pit are muddy and flat, and the whole looks like a roller-shaped tunnel with a diameter of about ten feet.
The most important thing is that this dark hole does not go straight down, but twists and turns inside, and it is impossible to know where it leads. Philip's light technique can only shine to a depth of more than ten meters, so he can't see clearly what's going on inside.
"Damn it, damn it! It's all here, and something will happen again!" Philip stomped his feet angrily.
"Perhaps we should be more fortunate that the accident didn't happen on the east side of the snowstorm mountain!" Robin spread his hands and sighed helplessly.
"The two elf princes have fallen, what should we do?" Nicole wrinkled her face and said with a wry smile.
"What else can I do, go down and have a look, my sister still likes cave exploration very much!" Kelly said happily, hugging her shoulders with a smile, this heartless violent woman was the only one among the crowd, she didn't care current condition.
Stark stretched out his finger, touched the mud wall of the pit, looked at the sticky liquid like paste on his fingertips, and couldn't help frowning. He put his finger under his nose and smelled it, and his face suddenly became very ugly.
"Be careful when you go down, this dark pit may not be dug by intelligent creatures! The smell is very fishy, and there may be a giant snake's lair underneath."
"Snake? It's so thick!" Nicole's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at the drum-shaped pothole with a diameter of about ten feet.
"It doesn't have to be snakes, ancient sandworms and some mountain magic sunflowers can also cause such potholes!" Robin said with a cloudy face, "This is troublesome, these things have a strong sense of territory, once disturbed They will never die with the intruders, and it is very difficult to be killed!"
…
"Feral... Elistine... Your Royal Highness..." Many shouts echoed repeatedly in the huge and tortuous potholes, making Qin Lun dizzy.
"Pentagram crystal mirror!" However, his consciousness was still very clear, a faint light flashed in the dark pothole, and the ensuing elemental critical strike made Qin Lun adjust his body posture.
The dial of the clock in the pupil of his right eye shone with silver light. Qin Lun turned over with one hand, and the sinful dagger was deeply inserted into the soft cave wall. What surprised him was that the stone wall of this pit was not hard rock, but a kind of wet and muddy soil.
Although the sinful dagger slowed down some of his body's falling speed, it still couldn't stop him.
"What are these things?" Qin Lun ignored the injury and grabbed the cave wall with his free left hand, but only took off a layer of sticky white liquid.
"Bang!" Just as Qin Lun was thinking, a body hit him like a cannonball, causing his body that had just stabilized to be smashed down again.
"I'm sorry, Filar!" Elistine's voice was weak, and he seemed to be injured a little bit.
"It's okay, hold on!" Qin Lun groaned secretly, he still had hope to slowly stabilize his body and climb back to the top by himself. Now that he is being suppressed by the Elven Druid, he is helpless. I don't know what happened to Mileras, Longer and others.
When it fell just now, Elistine was actually standing on the edge, and he could escape if he wanted to. It's just that the elf druid chose to save him, but he got involved and fell down together.
"Elisten, can you still transform?" Qin Lun asked faster. With the magic of the elf druid, she shouldn't be so weak.
"No, I just wanted to transform into a giant eagle to pull you up, but the wings hit the cave wall, and the bone seemed to be broken!" Elistin's frustrated voice sounded in the darkness.
"You turned into an eagle in such a tortuous cave..." Qin Lun couldn't laugh or cry, and finally resigned to his fate. The right hand kept piercing the cave wall with the sinful dagger, and the left hand hugged the elf druid tightly. The tentacles were as soft as jade, and I don't know what part of Elisten was caught.
Knowing that the fall could not be stopped, Qin Lun focused his eyes on the surrounding environment. Although he was in the process of falling rapidly, the perception line of the eye of the clock still allowed him to roughly "see" the original appearance of the cave.
However, upon seeing this, Qin Lun immediately frowned again. This drum-shaped pothole is not a single tunnel. During the descent, he also observed many slightly thinner forks.
At this time, he also came to a conclusion similar to Stark's. This pothole should not be formed naturally, but a nest of some kind of giant mollusk.
Thinking of this, Qin Lun was not only thankful that he had marked the route with a sinful dagger. Otherwise, with the dense network of pits and tunnels extending in all directions, even if the companions on the ground come down, they may not be able to find them.
As for Mileras, Longer, and the four sun elf rangers who fell first, he also "saw" them.
The six people went through the initial stage of self-rescue, and now they have adjusted their falling postures. They are connected together by a thumb-thick iron chain in Longer's hand, and they have not spread far apart. The eight of them were connected end to end, with a total distance of less than thirty meters.
Seeing this scene, Qin Lun was slightly moved. In the previous task world, he had already felt the importance of the team, but he still didn't understand it deeply enough. And this adventure experience finally let him see the role of the team.
Now this kind of large-scale plot task is obviously not something that a lone apostle can do. Even the first-order thief Longer, who is far inferior to him, can also play a lot of roles. At least in this dangerous situation, if he was the only one, not only would he not be able to turn the tide, but his own life might be at stake.
Several people stumbled in the tortuous potholes, and the falling speed was not very fast. After a while, Qin Lun's heart suddenly moved, and he hugged Elisteen even tighter. In the vision of the eye of the clock, an incomparably huge void appeared below them, and they seemed to be in the end.
"Elisten, hold me tight!" Qin Lun prudently instructed, leaning against the little face of the elf druid.
"Hmm!" Elistine babbled in the dark, and there seemed to be a hint of shyness in the originally weak tone.
However, Qin Lun couldn't pay attention to the abnormal emotions of the elf druid at this time. The dial of his right eye became more and more silvery, and the three pointers began to spin crazily in the pupil.
"Drink!" Qin Lun suddenly kicked up the cave wall, put away the evil dagger in his right hand, and held Elisteen in his arms with both hands. A strong wind element surrounded their bodies, which greatly eased their whereabouts. speed.
This can be regarded as a disguised use of the Wind Walk. Since Qin Lun realized the ancient inheritance of the elf hunter, although the affinity for the wind element has not been strengthened again, it has become much stronger in the application of skills.
"Boom!" Qin Lun bent his knees slightly, and relieved the strength of his fall, "Elisten, you can come down now!"
"En!" The Elf Druid twisted his body, but he didn't jump out of Qin Lun's arms immediately, but said shyly, "You, let go first!"
"Ah, oh... I'm sorry!" Qin Lun was taken aback, and looked down, only to realize that his left hand was grasping in the wrong place. The towering peaks on Elisteen's chest turned into a strange shape in his claws. No wonder he always felt the palm of his hand was smooth and soft, as if he had grasped an extremely elastic sponge ball.
