"It seems that the worm really regards this place as a nest." After the hanging basket fell, Agatha looked around with the glowing magic stone, frowning, "Have you found Fran?"
"Miss Fran is not here," Lightning had already inspected it. "The Blackrock Tower seems to be stuck in the middle of the cave, with a gap on each side. Will she fall on the tower and roll off the side?"
The two ends of the diamond-shaped stone tower are embedded in the rock wall, as if a bridge is built in a deep pit, and no one knows how the other party does this. As for the tentacle demon hiding at the bottom of the tower, and the hundred-eyed demon, they have all disappeared.
"This thing doesn't affect my ability to use," Nightingale emerged from the fog.
"But you can't penetrate it like you can through a wall, right?" Agatha squatted down and summoned a piece of ice to stab at the Black Rock Tower. It is said that it is made of the Stone of God's Punishment, although it will no longer interfere with the magic power in a large area like the God Stone Prism, but it can still isolate the magic power by itself."
"It's not manufacturing, it's growing," Elena corrected in a deep voice, "The magic of corruption can change the effect of the Divine Stone vein and promote it to grow into a stele, but only the one born under the red moon has the ability to manufacture The ability of the Red Mist, the other is to keep the Red Mist from dissipating so quickly, which was top secret in the Federation era, but after Taquila was destroyed, Lord Eleanor told us all of this."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Nightingale asked displeased.
"You didn't tell me that there will be a devil's spire here," Elena retorted, "There are so many things that can affect magic, how could I have guessed it was this kind of thing."
"We have to keep going down," Lightning flew between the two, interrupting their confrontation, "There is still some distance from the bottom of the cave, I just tried to fly down a short distance, and I could hear the faint sound of running water. There may be a dark river underneath, and if Miss Fran really fell from both sides of the stone tower, she might still survive."
"Really?" Elena's voice cheered, "Could it be because of the dark river that Sylvie didn't find Fran's trace
"It's very possible," Agatha nodded, "most of the eyes of the magic eye are blocked by this stone tower, so she said that she couldn't see the ground, and if Fran was washed away by the water, naturally she couldn't find it. The magic light is coming." She turned to Lightning and said, "Fly up first and tell Wendy about our situation, and let her ask Maggie to transport some of the God's Punishment Witches down... and the soldiers of the First Army, let them be here too. Set up a checkpoint, and we will continue to explore further down."
"Well, leave it to me." The little girl nodded.
…
With the going up and down of the hanging basket and the auxiliary transportation of the Magic Ark, they soon gathered enough people.
Lightning took advantage of this time to complete the inspection of the space below the Blackrock Tower. As expected, the vertical pit wall gradually turned to be inclined after a short while, and the air became more and more humid. After descending thirty or forty meters, a wide underground river appeared in front of her eyes.
The snow flowing along the wall of the cave gathered into a turbulent water flow here, pouring down from the mouth of the cave, forming a waterfall. When approaching it, the little girl could feel the cold air blowing towards her face.
Due to the sufficient water, all kinds of moss and mushrooms are covered under the deep pit. Some of these plants emit cold blue light, illuminating the surrounding ground. Even without the luminous magic stone, the outline of the cave can still be clearly seen. ; plus those flying fireflies, the whole underground is like another world.
When the witch and the Taquila remnants took the ark to the bottom of the cave, they were all attracted by the sight in front of them.
"It would be great if these glowing fruits could be planted in Neverwinter," Nightingale sighed. "That way everyone can see the streets and alleys clearly at night."
"Let's bring some back to plant, shall we?" Lightning rubbed his hands excitedly. Discovering and cultivating novel species is also one of the things that explorers often do. For example, sugar cane and corn are picked by fjord explorers from other small islands. Come back, step by step, cultivate it into what it is today. I don't know if these huge mushrooms and the glowing "puye fruit" will be as sweet as bird's snout mushrooms
"Let's finish the business first," Agatha counted the number of people, "Maggie, stay here and assist the First Army to set up a checkpoint here. We will then move forward along the dark river. If we don't find Fran after more than two kilometers, Set up camp for now."
No one objected. Lightning, Nightingale, and Agatha all had the ability to escape and protect themselves. The ten witches of God's Punishment headed by Elena were all extraordinary, and their fighting power was equivalent to the extraordinary. It is the most elite combination in the united front.
After entering the dark river cave, the sound of the water became extremely loud, as if it was roaring close to the ear, and the lightning had to get closer to hear what everyone was saying.
"Can swallowing worms swim in water?" Agatha asked.
"No one has tried this," Elena shook her head, "but the worm is so huge, I don't think she'll be too far from the pit even if she's pushed by the water."
"Can you tell where this river came from and which direction it's going?" Another God's Punishment Witch said, the little girl remembered that she seemed to be called Zoe.
"If I remember correctly, it's right in the direction we entered the snow-capped mountains," Nightingale answered her. "That is to say, it should come from the underground water veins in the west, leading to the hilly area in the south."
Lightning couldn't help but feel a little strange. It's not surprising that the groundwater resources in His Majesty's territory are rich, but leading to the southern end? There isn't a decent river over there. Where does all this water end up
Suddenly, she saw something trembling on the stone wall not far away.
"Wait, there seems to be movement ahead!"
Following her warning, everyone stopped and drew their weapons.
"There is no magical reaction," Nightingale quickly confirmed this, "but there is indeed something hidden there..." She paused and seemed to take two steps closer, "It looks like a semi-circular... egg?"
"What?" Agatha was slightly taken aback.
"Since it doesn't have magic power, it doesn't pose a threat to us," Elena beckoned to the God's Punishment Witch beside her, "Come with me."
There was no accident during the encirclement process. When Lightning looked at the trembling thing at close range, he couldn't help frowning.
I saw a mass of gray skin sticking to the wall of the cave. At first glance, it looked no different from the surrounding rocks, but when she raised the glowing magic stone close to the skin, she could see that it was covered with many one-to-one pieces. The air holes, along with the ups and downs of the skin, are like breathing.
"Damn... what the hell is this," Elena spat, "it's disgusting."
"If it is really an egg, how big should the mother that gave birth to it be?" Lightning measured the area of the lower skin and found that it was about three meters in length and width, and the bulging part in the center could almost fit an adult cow.
"No, this shape..." Zooey suddenly took a breath, she pulled out her long sword, stabbed into the skin violently, and then picked it up
A sharp cry suddenly sounded, and a large amount of mucus spewed out of the broken "egg", and then a mass of black shadow slipped out of the bulging part and collapsed softly to the ground.
Lightning discovered that it was actually a madman.
