Path of Light.

Chapter 634: Fear in the Deep Cave

It lurks in the darkness...

Although its torn body was still bleeding, the dark aura in the cave was constantly repairing its severely damaged body...

The two-headed snake demon actually had no intention of provoking the lich. It just smelled the delicious scent of prey from the edge of the lich's territory. That smell was definitely not something that a dark beast could possess. The blood from the prey was particularly delicious, and it would never be forgotten after drinking it once.

It wanted to catch two more to enjoy.

Unexpectedly, I ran into the lich that was made entirely of bones.

Once the two sides met, a big fight immediately broke out.

In the end, the two-headed snake demon had one of its heads torn off by the lich, and became its current appearance.

The physical defect caused its strength to drop significantly.

Under the lich's curse, its wounds did not heal and it continued to bleed every day...

It was worried that the lich would come looking for it again, so it could only hide in the deepest part of the rift cave.

In fact, the two heads of the two-headed snake demon currently have two different ideas. Originally, when they had different opinions, the minority almost obeyed the majority. Now the two heads of the snake demon have different ideas, and no one can convince the other, so they can only shrink into the depths of the cave.

In addition, the snake demon's tail was broken, which made it unable to crawl quickly...

The footsteps outside made the two-headed snake demon a little upset.

There was prey right at its doorstep, but it was unable to catch it. The two-headed snake demon twisted its body restlessly, rubbing against it in the cave.

……

"Do you know why Alvin insisted on investigating that two-headed snake demon?"

There was a piece of magic parchment in front of the great magician Oppaia, and she was drawing magic runes on it with a magic engraving pen. She stopped from time to time to examine the layout of the magic pattern array, which was rare among magicians.

Generally speaking, magicians draw magic runes in one go.

Only the great magician Opeia would write from time to time, and could make modifications during the drawing process, but the magic scrolls she drew were all successful.

"what?"

Roy asked confused.

The Great Magician Oppaia raised her lips and said to Roy:

"He wanted to see if the two-headed demon snake had the blood of the frost dragon."

This immediately piqued Roy's interest, and he quickly asked, "How could the two-headed demon snake have the blood of the frost dragon?"

Great Magician Oppaia said:
"In short, the power of ice it possesses may be inherited from the blood of the Frost Dragon."

"It is said that adult dragons will choose mates of different species and give birth to offspring with dragon blood. They can be elves, humans, orcs, naga, demons, and Warcraft. They are not picky about food."

"..."

Roy immediately fell silent and stopped talking about this topic.

To avoid awkward atmosphere, Roy explained:
"There is very little information about dragons in the textbooks of the Elf Academy, so I know very little about them."

The Great Magician Opeia did not continue to discuss the issue of dragon mating in depth, but continued:

"The Emerald Dragons used to protect the elves. When the dragons migrated, they flew away with the other dragons. This information is in the Magic Guild, and the reading permissions are set very high."

These were things Roy had never known.

It turns out that some elf books cannot be read by oneself, Roy thought to himself.

Byron Thor on the side couldn't help but interrupt and asked:
"So this two-headed snake demon might be the offspring of the frost dragon left in the dark land?"

Oppaiia glanced at Byron Thor.

"It's possible, but it's more likely that he was born by the offspring of the Frost Dragon. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to hide in the ditch and not even be able to defeat a lich." The great magician Oppaia explained.

"..."

……

Soon, Great Swordsman Alvin, Etia Mika, and Leah walked out of the Great Rift Valley.

With the help of Leah, they easily found the hiding place of the two-headed snake.

According to Leah, there are very few dark creatures in the Great Rift Valley, and there are no dark monsters. There are also some traces of dried blood in the caves of the Great Rift Valley, and it is obvious that the two-headed demon snake is injured.

The great swordsman Alvin also began to talk about some of his successful experiences in hunting demon snakes in his life, and it seemed that he wanted to kill this two-headed demon snake.

Roy was speechless. The team clearly wanted to investigate the remains of the Frost Dragon and the Lich. But now that they had just left the Lich's territory, they were actually planning to hunt the Lich's good neighbor, the two-headed snake.

Some people's minds change very quickly.

Seeing that Byron Thor and Roy still didn't speak, Great Swordsman Alvin knew that he needed to continue lobbying:
"There will be at least two elemental cores in its body. Roy, do you know what elemental cores are?"

"What is the core of an element?" Roy asked curiously.

Great Swordsman Alvin was delighted. As expected, he was very curious about the Elemental Core...

At this time, the great magician Oppaia said:

"If a great magician wants to be promoted to a mage, he needs to prepare a lot of things, one of which is to prepare an elemental core that matches his own attributes, so I agree to hunt this two-headed demon snake."

Leah was biting her lip. Although she knew Roy was somewhat reluctant, she had no choice in the matter.

Since she had a chance to avenge Uncle Loki Balsa, she didn't want to wait any longer, so she raised her hand and whispered, "I also agree to hunt this two-headed demon snake."

Etiamika always stood firmly on the side of Great Swordsman Alvin. He knew what Great Swordsman Alvin was thinking, so he raised his hand and said, "I also agree to hunt the two-headed demon snake..."

With an overwhelming advantage of four to two, Great Swordsman Alvin successfully persuaded all members to hunt the two-headed demon snake in the Great Rift Valley...

……

A group of six people walked into the Great Rift Valley again, with Great Swordsman Alvin leading the way.

Roy could even smell the unique fishy smell of the cold-blooded reptiles. A cold breath always lingered behind Roy, making him hunch his back when walking and be fully alert to any unexpected situations around him.

The light in the Great Rift Valley was dim and almost nothing could be seen. Roy raised two holy lights to illuminate the road here. There were many animal bones buried next to some rocks.

Roy also knew that the magic materials from level six monsters were very rare and almost never seen in the magic market. Such monster materials could only be purchased at special trade fairs, and the prices were ridiculously high.

This kind of opportunity is always hard to come by, and the Great Swordsman Alvin doesn't want to miss such a good opportunity, and Roy can understand...

Byron Thor had been following behind Roy. He could feel that Roy became very nervous after entering the Great Rift Valley. In fact, he was also a little nervous. After all, the beast lurking deep in the cave of the Great Rift Valley was a level 6 monster. Even if it was injured or had lost its rank, it was still a creature that dared to fight the lich to the death.

There are many caves under the rift valley. These caves are all dug out on sandstone. The surface of the cave walls is very rough, and there are some gravel and rocks under the feet. The cave walls are not very solid.

"I'll go check out the front."

Byron Thor was about to walk forward alone, but was pulled back by Leah beside him. Then she took two steps forward and her body turned into a handful of black smoke and disappeared.

After Leah disappeared, Byron Thor could hardly sense any breath from her...

Everyone waited at the entrance of the cave for a long time. Roy began to worry that Leah was in trouble. He wanted to rush in to find Leah, but then he saw a burst of black smoke appear in front of him, and then it gathered together to form Leah's body.

Leah also held a piece of seaweed paper in her hand, on which she had drawn some lines that looked like the layout of a cave.

Leah pointed her pen directly at the deepest part of the cave and said, "It hid in a small cave, with its body completely shrunk inside, and only its two heads squeezed at the entrance. No other dark creatures or monsters were found in other caves."

"Can we lure it out?" Etiamika suggested.

He said this because he wanted to run into the cave himself and lure out the two-headed demon snake.

Great Swordsman Alvin had no other good ideas, so he said:

"You can try it."

Leah suggested, "It's too dangerous to go down alone. Why don't we all go down together? The cave is quite spacious. Fighting inside is no different from fighting outside, and there are no dark creatures inside..."

In fact, she made this suggestion because she was worried that the same tragedy as that of Uncle Loki Balsa would happen again.

In fact, Loki Balsa's strength is not weaker than that of the Great Swordsman Alvin, and there are some other powerful demon hunters in their demon hunting group.

Great Swordsman Alvin thought about it and felt that what Leah said seemed to make more sense, so he led everyone into the cave.

Roy let a ball of holy light float above his head, and Leah hid far away.

Knowing that the two-headed snake demon was more adapted to darkness than them, Roy simply raised a ball of sacred light to illuminate.

The cave was extremely smelly, and occasionally some white bones could be seen. They should be the feces that the two-headed snake monster had eaten and then excreted.

Some peeling scales can still be seen in the cave, and these scales are actually harder than steel plates.

Etiamika picked up several pieces, trying to see if his sword could pierce the scales of the two-headed snake.

Leah led everyone into the cave with ease. The deeper into the cave, the colder it got. However, the cave was much larger than the entrance. Just as Leah said, there didn't seem to be any inconvenience in fighting inside.

After turning a few corners, Leah stopped, said nothing, and pointed forward.

Roy noticed that when Leah looked at the dark cave in front of her, her pupils shrank slightly, and the hatred in her eyes could not be concealed at all.

At the gesture of Great Swordsman Alvin, everyone dispersed.

The great magician Oppaia fell behind Roy and naturally followed Roy to hide beside a rock.

The holy light could not reach the depths of the cave, but Roy could sense the violent and disgusting atmosphere inside the cave.

He tried to let the holy light fly in, but unfortunately it went out after being thirty yards away from him, and the cave instantly fell into silence and darkness.

Without the blessing of the holy light, Roy felt as if he was in the deep sea. His body was immediately frozen stiff by the thick dark air in the cave. He quickly summoned a ball of holy light, and the terrifying and suffocating cold feeling disappeared instantly...

Byron Thor pulled out a feather arrow. A little red light gathered on the tip of the arrow, and the arrowhead immediately emitted a dark red light.

He half-knelt on the ground, pulled the longbow and shot the arrow into the deep cave. This arrow was shot entirely based on his intuition of the terrifying aura.

The feather arrow dragged a long dark red tail and flew into the depths of the cave.

Sure enough, a dark red light was reflected from the depths of the cave.

Byron Thor discovered at the first moment that it should be a black eye on the demon snake's head, which was staring coldly at the people hiding behind the rocks in the distance.

The moment the red light touched it, it opened its huge mouth and let out a sharp and piercing scream. Half-meter-long fangs stood up on its upper and lower jaws at the same time, and an ice shield spurted out of its throat, just blocking the dark red feather arrow.

The feather arrow hit the ice shield and exploded instantly, turning into a ball of blazing flame that attached to the ice shield and fell to the rocky ground of the cave along with the ice shield.

The flame did not go out, but burned even more fiercely.

As the two-headed snake demon screamed again, a larger ice ball sprayed out and instantly extinguished the flames on the ground, and the cave suddenly fell into darkness again.

Then came the sound of hard scales rubbing against boulders, and the sound of "crunching, crunching, crunching" continued to come from the cave in the distance.

Roy didn't dare to extinguish the sacred light because no one could see anything in the darkness.

When the holy light came back on, a shadow arrow was seen flying out from the depths of the cave, hitting the rock wall where Etiamika was hiding. The shadow arrow, which carried a strong corrosive smell, corroded a large area of ​​the rock wall. The black molten liquid remained on the stone wall, emitting a pungent sour and rotten stench.

Etia Mika was a second-level Abyss Ranger. He dodged the moment the shadow arrow hit the rock wall.

The rubbing sound of scales in the cave became clearer.

Leah hid behind the rock wall and couldn't help but remind everyone: "Be careful if it suddenly attacks from behind..."

Before Leah's voice faded away, a huge snake head appeared silently behind Roy, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed Roy's upper body in one gulp. Its movements were as fast as lightning, and it suddenly bit Roy down in an instant.

Roy didn't even have time to turn around before he could smell a fishy smell behind him. The hairs on his spine all stood up...

When he raised his head halfway, he saw that the half-meter-long fangs were about to pierce his forehead, and the huge throat seemed to want to swallow him completely.

Roy's face turned pale instantly. It was too late to hide at this moment. The only thing he could do was to raise the Book of Judgment high in his hand and try his best to input the power of holy light into the Book of Judgment.

At this moment, the Book of Judgment suddenly lit up, and the snake demon's huge mouth had already swallowed the Book of Approval into its throat, but then a ray of holy light lit up from the snake demon's throat, and a hammer of holy light appeared in the snake demon's throat and hammered it down fiercely.

'Hammer of Justice'

The entire body of the snake demon suddenly became completely still, with its huge snake head open and suspended in mid-air...
