Chapter 1002 103. The Lair of Sandworms

A group of us walked down the gully step by step from the main peak, and explored the peak at the tail of the mountain dragon tortoise. This mountain was much shorter than the main peak by a hundred meters. The knotworm seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, without a trace on the island.

However, at the foot of the mountain behind the main peak, we finally found some traces of man-made excavation. It was a path dug on the rock wall. Perhaps because of disrepair, this path dug along the edge of the gully has been abandoned. Fenghua is very serious, and the roads in many places have been broken. Even so, we are still very happy. We can find this small stone step, which means that we are one step closer to the treasure of the Pirate King.

Walking along the stone steps for a while, I found a bone on the side of the road in front of me protruding from the fertile soil piled up with thick leaves. It was the ulna of a person's arm, sticking out of the soil so abruptly After being exposed to the wind and the sun, the bones have become gray and dull. As for the tiny bones in the palms and knuckles, they can't be found at all.

Kalancuo stopped at the place where the bones were buried, and she gently pushed aside the branches and leaves of Photinia frondosa, and the soil inside was actually full of dead bones.

Justus leaned over, stretched out a bone spur from his wrist, and found a piece of sea animal leather armor that was half rotting among the heather. Justus picked up the half piece of sea animal leather armor and sent it to He sniffed it under his nose, then turned his head and said to us: "This is the sea animal leather armor most commonly worn by pirates. It seems that this is a burial place for pirates. Such a large piece of red-leaved heather seems to be buried here." There shouldn't be too many people."

Noah squatted beside Justus, silently looking at the bones in the bushes, and turned to ask us: "Guess, does the Pirate King bury the pirates who died in battle here, or the pirates who knew the secret of the treasure?" The pirates were executed here, so there is this sea of ​​red leaves and heather flowers that is nearly several hundred meters away?"

Justus replied: "Pirates will be buried in the sea after death, and those buried here should be those pirates who knew the secret of the treasure."

Passing through this valley full of red-leaved heather, we continued to walk to the top of the mountain along a rift. Along the way, we also found many bones of the Nagahai people. Along the stone steps next to the rift, we climbed up On the mountainside of this mountain, a wormhole more than two meters high was found on the left side of the rift fork. Those of the Naga Sea tribe are still human.

We stood cautiously outside the cave, and the Lante knight led his team of constructed knights holding light knight shields and standing side by side with Luka in heavy armor, blocking the front of the cave.

Obviously, this is a wormhole, and it looks like a lair of sandstone knotworms. Although there is no movement at the entrance of the cave, a huge coercion comes out from the cave, and what comes out is a third-level monster breath.

Both Katerina and Kalancuo also felt that powerful aura, and they all looked at me in unison.

I guess it is because among the swarm of sandstone worms, there should be a worm king with intermediate intelligence. It is because of its existence that after those sandstone worms are frustrated, they order all the sandstone worms to hide , do not fight us.

I took a step towards the entrance of the cave, and suddenly a kind of sharp spiritual power penetrated into my spiritual sea. It was an unusually violent spiritual power. It invaded my mind with a hint of coldness and evil, making me My spiritual sea felt a tingling pain, huge waves surged up on the golden sea and beat against the rocks, electric snakes in the clouds kept swimming away, that spiritual power turned into the sound of gold and stone in my spiritual sea, and the sharp sound resounded through the sky.

This shock wave of spiritual power caused everyone to hold their heads in agony.

Luka and Kalancuo let out a low howl at the same time~
"drink!"

Soldiers use 'war howls' to increase their morale, and this kind of war howls can sometimes 'dash away' timid enemies. The insect king of the sandstone knotworm warned us with spiritual power, and the orc warriors used the orc tribe's The war howl resisted the spiritual power of the insect king.

Fortunately, the shock of mental power didn't last long. Senior Dylan and I had much stronger mental power than others, and I quickly recovered from the mental shock. I said to everyone: "It's the insect king, it We are being warned not to approach it!"

"You mean, there is a leader in this cave for those sandstone knot bugs we met yesterday?" Noah asked me, scratching his hair in pain.

I nodded.

Senior Dylan looked at me solemnly, and asked me, "What should we do, should we go in and check?"

Noah said: "Jijia, do you think it is possible that the big bug has been guarding the treasure of the Pirate King, and this wormhole is actually the hiding place of the Pirate King's treasure?"

Luka, who was standing in front of the team, took another step into the cave, and Yingli released a magical gleam, a small flame floating in the air, flying into the black paint like a living elf. In the lacquered cave, hanging not far in front of everyone.

Luka cautiously held the two moonblade axes in his hands, and he walked into the cave first. His huge body tightly blocked the two-meter-high cave. The six constructed knights are also on guard.

Shirley Newman had some doubts about Noah's guess, so he retorted: "If we assume that this is where the Pirate King hides his treasure, do you think that Mr. Pirate King has to go through such trouble every time he comes in to count his property? "

"I don't think so!" Noah didn't have a better answer for a while, he just said, "Maybe he has some way to disperse these sandstone worms!"

Shirley Newman spread her hands, looked at the impulse nervously, and said to us: "Perhaps those treasures are not here at all!"

The expressions on the faces of Ying Li, Helena, and Becky are also ugly. It seems that the girls still have a lot of resistance to this wormhole. The danger of the location is hidden in the darkness. The whole wormhole looks so gloomy Horrible, and there was a hissing sound coming from inside.

Of course, Justus didn't want to give up the opportunity of this investigation. He has been working tirelessly all his life to retrieve the horn of the soul. Seeing that we flinched a little, he said, "Anyway, since we're here , you should go in and have a look.”

Everyone looked at me, I thought about it, and said: "The space inside the wormhole is small, it is not suitable for our team to fight as a whole, otherwise we will divide into two teams, and I will take a team to investigate the situation. Lead a group of people to meet us at the entrance of the cave."

Hearing what I said, Noah's complexion changed, and he immediately refused, "No, I'll go in with you, let Shirley and Yingli stay, and Miss Cherry will take care of them, Knight Rand, please arrange The two constructed knights also stayed behind, and the rest of us went into the wormhole with us to investigate the situation inside."

"Follow your orders!" Knight Lant hesitated to speak. He obviously wanted to persuade Noah not to try this kind of adventure, but he was afraid that his persuasion would backfire. In fact, I can understand the entanglement in Knight Lant's heart at the moment. .

Perhaps in Noah's mind, those who stayed behind might be regarded as cowards, so they had such a big reaction.

But I had to convince him to stay, he had no experience fighting in caves.

So I said to him: "Listen to me, Noah, you don't need so many people to enter this cave. You and Lante Knight stay and guard the entrance of this cave. I'm worried that if those bugs can't stop us from exploring, maybe The entrance of the cave will be destroyed, and we may be trapped inside and unable to find the real exit, so someone must stay and help me guard the exit."

Just as Noah wanted to refute, I immediately rushed to say: "Stop arguing with me, you take the Rand Knights to guard here, help me guard the back, and if we are in danger, I will send you a magic signal , and we are not going into the cave to exterminate those sandstone knot bugs, we are just checking to see if there is any treasure of the Pirate King inside, as long as we find out the situation, we will come out immediately, oh, you must stay and support, Mr. Dylan, Noah, they need your teleportation scroll."

"Then don't take risks lightly. If you find danger, withdraw immediately. Our ship is going to Haushof Island soon. When we get there, we will have enough manpower to explore the island. We can ask Evan The count borrowed his soldiers." Noah said to me.

I patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Got it, don't worry, don't worry about me, Luka will protect me! Isn't it, Luka?"

"Jijia, I swear in the name of the Tauren ancestors, I will protect you." The Tauren said seriously.

I wanted to stand on tiptoe and reach out to cover the tauren's mouth, but he was too tall.

So I could only say: "Hey, hey! You're fine, don't keep swearing in the name of your ancestors, making it seem like there is no trust between us, let's go!"

Luka the tauren is good at everything, but sometimes he takes it too seriously.

Seeing that Lante Knight was going to follow us into the cave, I immediately stopped him: "Hey, Lante Knight, what are you doing, please pay attention to your responsibilities, the person you need to protect is Noah, not me! "

The Lante knight hesitated for a moment, so I took Luca's Katerina and walked into the cave following Kalantso's footsteps.

"Let's go, Kalantso, can you slow down?" I shouted to Kalantso, who had gone so far that he couldn't see anyone.

At this moment, Justus strode up to follow.

In fact, although the wormhole is the home field of the sandstone knotworm, the orc warriors in the underground cave of Xinliu Valley also have rich combat experience for the battle in the cave, so I must keep Noah and the others, otherwise they will see My orc warriors will definitely ask endless questions, so this secret will need to be kept for a while.

We found the bones of various animals in the wormhole, and it seems that they are not usually vegetarian.

However, this kind of sandstone knotworm has one advantage, that is, they don't have mucus on their bodies, and they don't make the whole cave sticky, and they don't have a strong smell, but there is a kind of earthy smell on Sandworm Mountain, just Just entering the wormhole, we also did not see those sandstone knot worms.

But after walking into the wormhole a few hundred meters deep, Kalancuo stopped at the corner of the cave and stopped walking inside. She looked at me quietly without saying a word.

Of course I understood what she meant, so I laughed and said to her, "Can you go inside again?"

Kalancuo shook his head stubbornly, so I could only let Luka stand in the back, and then opened the portal to Xinliu Valley with the Time Breaker, and Kalancuo stepped in without saying a word. After a while, a pair of fully armed orc warriors came out from the portal,
As soon as these well-trained orc warriors entered the arena, they began to quickly explore the cave, and then I saw the dwarf Bernd walking out of the portal wearing a leather armor, looking at the worm curiously. Hole, I still want to ask him: how did you come out, is the light rail finished?

Before I could ask, he said to me very excitedly: "In the future, we will often conduct such field training and always slaughter those goblin tribes in underground caves. What can these orc warriors do?"

I was speechless, what field training, this is clearly a wormhole adventure!
Without waiting for my explanation, Bernd led a group of orc warriors into the cave. His reputation among the orc warriors is higher than mine. The orc warriors admired Bernd very much.

Afterwards, a group of strong barbarians also came out of the portal. When they saw that they came out of the underground cave of Xinliu Valley and entered another cave again, they were all very frustrated.

If the first fear of these barbarian warriors is deep water, which stems from the fact that they cannot swim, then the second fear of these barbarians is caves. Due to the large size of the body, it is often easy to get stuck in the cave and cannot get out. Over time, I am also very afraid of the cave.

However, these barbarian slaves have often stayed in the underground caves of Xinliu Valley recently, and they seem to be getting used to it.

It's just that the wormhole of the sandstone knotworm is much lower than the underground cave. These barbarian slaves came out of the portal reluctantly, and they didn't know that Kalantso who followed them said something to these barbarian slaves. What, these barbarian slaves immediately ran to the depths of the cave, grabbing black iron spears and following the orc warriors as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

After walking for a long time, we entered a wide sandworm cave hall. This underground hall is very spacious. With the torches in the hands of the orc warriors, I found that it can easily accommodate nearly a thousand people. There is not a single sandstone cave in the entire hall. Insects, there are many holes on the surrounding rock walls, it looks like a huge maze, fortunately I made a mark on the hole I just entered, and carved a rune mark on the stone wall, otherwise we would like to start over again. It will be difficult to find the exit among so many openings.

At this time, countless sandstone knot worms poured out from each hole like a tide...
