Dragging Mustaxia to the shore, Qin Lun felt exhausted. Although there is no water binding spirit in this swamp to entangle them, the lake water seems to have a magical power to absorb their energy. The distance of only a few hundred meters is like walking hundreds of kilometers.
"Sand?" Qin Lun lay face-to-face on the bank, adjusted his breathing, and inadvertently grabbed the soil under his body, only to find that the land here was not wet mud, but fine sand dripping with his hands.
"Let's go!" Mustasia rested for a while, but recovered before him, and stretched out her hand to pull him up.
"This is?" The two looked up at the front, with a hint of joy on their faces. The highland elves were right. They had indeed arrived at the entrance of the southern canyon where the Troll's Claw was located deep in the land of death.
A steep wall stood in front of them like a city wall, and long-lost moss plants covered the mountain wall. Although the hideous barbed black rocks on the mountain wall are shocking, but compared with the sound of water splashing behind, it seems so amiable at this moment.
"Where's the entrance?" Qin Lun and Mustaxia rushed two steps, catching up with the people in front.
"Could that be the entrance to the canyon? I see how intrusive it is!" Winnie murmured as she held Rick's arm and frowned.
Qin Lun took a closer look, and immediately hesitated, because the entrance in front of them didn't look like a good place. It is said to be an entrance, but it is actually a conical crack on the mountain wall that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. It is only 1.5 meters high and less than half a meter wide. It can only accommodate one person in and out, and the inside is so dark that you can't see your fingers.
"Maybe this is some kind of magical beast's lair, and it has nothing to do with the entrance of the canyon. Or, let's look for the real entrance along the two sides of the mountain?" Lago suggested hesitantly.
Hearing the sound of paddling water getting closer, Qin Lun couldn't help but glanced back, his face froze immediately, and he shouted loudly: "It's too late, hurry in, the ghost-faced squid is here."
Everyone looked at each other and smiled wryly. This sea monster really had amazing perseverance. It even swam ashore, and it still persevered. There is no way, even if there is a den in front of them, they can only go in and hide first, they just hope that the space inside is big enough to accommodate so many of them.
At least judging from the size of the entrance, even if there is a monster inside, it should be easier to deal with than the giant beast behind it.
Rick took the lead, bent over and stepped into the crack of the mountain wall with a big sword in hand. Rand followed in second, a tiny flame on his finger, and he needed to light the knight ahead. Vinnie really couldn't maintain the light technique anymore, so he had to support it like this first.
After entering the crack, everyone found that although the inside was relatively narrow, it looked very deep. Although the ground is relatively rugged, with sharp rocks everywhere, it really stretches towards the mountains with twists and turns.
"Aww..." Not far from the crack in the cliff, there was a faint roar of unwillingness behind them, apparently the ghost-faced squid had finally arrived.
"Go to hell, haha!" Lago turned around and yelled loudly, a relaxed mood permeated the team, and everyone couldn't help laughing out loud.
"It's a pity, we lost all our supplies!" Winnie touched her shriveled belly, a sense of fatigue welled up in her body, and after she relaxed, she felt extremely hungry.
In fact, it wasn't just her. Seeing Winnie's action, everyone couldn't stand it anymore, and they all sat down on the ground and got up to rest.
"Hehe, I still have something to eat here!" Qin Lun flipped his hands, and a chunk of meat as thick as a gasoline barrel appeared in his arms. It turned out to be the ghost-faced squid tentacles that Rick cut off at the beginning.
"Haha, it can't eat us, it will be eaten by us now!" Lago laughed, stood up, cleared the ground, and planned to build a grill with stones.
"It's a pity that there is no firewood here. Do you want to eat it raw?" Winnie looked around with a look of regret. The female mage was exhausted. Normally, she would not eat this kind of food. Bogey.
"Let me do it!" Qin Lun handed the ghost-faced squid's tentacles to Rand, and took out a brown plant seed from his arms. He looked around, pulled out a pile of fine soil from the rock peak, and buried the seeds in it.
As Qin Lun's palm glowed with a layer of green light, the plant seed began to germinate and grow, and soon turned into a vine about one meter high.
"Rand, it's you!" Qin Lun pointed at the plants with a smile.
Firework flipped the palm of his hand, controlling a blazing flame, roasting the plant into a ball of charcoal. Everyone helped to put the charcoal into the stone grill built by Lago, and soon there was a smell of meat in the cracks of the cliff.
Even after shedding itself for a long time, the tentacles of the ghost squid are still very resistant to flames. Fortunately, it was already half-cooked, and after another half an hour of baking, it was finally ready to eat.
"It's really unpalatable!" Winnie frowned, struggling to tear the cut piece of meat. The tentacles of the ghost-faced squid taste like rubber, full of toughness, and the flesh of a legendary creature doesn't look delicious at all.
However, after it was eaten, everyone felt waves of heat rising from their abdomens, and their exhaustion gradually disappeared. This thing really contains a lot of biological energy, and it is not poisonous. After eating a little bit, everyone will be full.
About half of the tentacles the size of gasoline barrels remained. Satisfied, Qin Lun put it back into the storage space, and smiled at Hill and Rand.
"Reminder: Apostle No. 70053, you have collected a kind of unrecorded legendary creature data, and the additional exploration degree obtained is less than 0.201%, and it will be accumulated and settled after returning. Temporary settlement of included item rewards, the remaining ghost-faced squid tentacles will be classified as The apostle restores the items."
The tentacle of the ghost-faced squid (quality legend): This is a superb recovery treasure roasted by a legendary creature. It can restore 50% of the blood volume and 70% of the energy value at the same time, and the onset time is five minutes (there are seven left). Consuming this legendary food for the first time will permanently increase the apostle's constitution by three points, strength by one point and agility by one point.
"I should have picked some up if I knew it earlier!" Rand said regretfully, rubbing his belly.
This is the first time they have seen such a high percentage of recovery food, and it can also increase five attribute points at once. Putting the remaining seven pieces of food on the trading market can obviously make up for the loss of the "Meteor Fall" magic scroll.
"Hehe, forget it, I saw it at the time, except for the one Qin Lun picked up, the other severed limbs are too big to fit into the storage space at all." Hill patted Rand on the shoulder and comforted him .
After eating and drinking enough, everyone recovered a little bit, but they didn't plan to continue walking. Lago patrolled around responsibly and placed some small traps around, treating this place as a temporary camp.
This cliff crack looks very deep. Although it may be the entrance of the canyon, no one can guarantee that there is any danger inside. The current state is obviously not suitable for traveling. It is better to rest overnight and make plans.
As everyone fell asleep exhaustedly, calm was restored in the crack. A faint moonlight was reflected in the lake in the distance, and the surroundings looked peaceful and quiet. It seemed that the previous desperate journey had never happened, and thinking about it now makes people feel like a dream.
After a night of silence, when Qin Lun opened his eyes again, a ray of bright light made him squint his eyes involuntarily. After dawn, he realized that the distance they entered the crack last night was not too far, and he could still hear the waves of the distant lake.
"Are you awake?" A pair of women's leather boots appeared in front of Qin Lun, but they were covered with mud and the original color was no longer visible.
Qin Lun looked up and found that the person in front of him was the highland elf Mustasia, and asked with a smile, "Are you feeling better?"
"It's okay, the ghost-faced squid meat that I ate last night seems to have a detoxifying effect!" Mastacia happily replied, pointing to the top of their heads, "Look at the top!"
Qin Lun narrowed his eyes and looked up, but he couldn't see anything except the hideous and abrupt rocks, so he couldn't help but spread his hands towards Mustaxia.
"Forget it, I knew you were a rookie!" The highland elf curled her lips and explained to herself, "I checked around just now, and it seems that this place is not a cave, but a crack in a canyon between two cliffs .”
"So, we found the right place?" Qin Lun's eyes lit up. In fact, everyone was in a hurry last night and just regarded this place as a refuge from the ghost-faced squid. Unexpectedly, it was actually the canyon of the troll's claws. Entrance.
"Well, I've only heard that there is a canyon entrance with a troll's claw in the land of the dead, but I didn't expect it to be such a terrain." Mastacia mumbled, "I don't know the trolls in the mountains How did the tribe get in and out of the land of death through here?"
"Perhaps there are bigger entrances around the beach!" Qin Lun said uncertainly, "By the way, you said just now that the troll tribe would often enter and exit the Land of the Dead... Then they are not afraid of the ghost-faced squid's hunting?"
"I don't know about that. The ghost-faced squid has high intelligence. If the troll can often provide it with some sacrifices, it is estimated that the two sides can reach a certain agreement!" Mustaxia tilted her head and thought about it. for an ambiguous reason.
While the two were talking, everyone woke up one after another, wiped their hazy eyes, and looked at them.
"Should we continue to move forward, or go back to the beach and find another entrance!" Rick stretched his muscles and asked the two.
"Keep going, Mustasia said this is a crack between two cliffs, maybe you can also enter the interior of the mountain range." Qin Lun pondered for a while, then said, "It's too dangerous to go out and look for it. That ghost-faced squid suffered such a big loss, maybe it’s still nearby.”
"Okay!" Rick shrugged, and that was all he asked. Thinking of the thrilling adventure last night, even with his courage, he didn't want to face that huge monster again.
After recovering some energy, everyone set off towards the crack. Mustasia was right, this crack was indeed not a cave, the inside was really too deep, and despite the extremely narrow outside, after walking for a while, everyone found that the road ahead had widened.
The most important thing is that Vinnie no longer has to maintain the light spell, and as the road widens, there are no rocks covering everyone's heads. For the first time in so many days, a ray of warm sunshine fell on their shoulders.
