Capítulo 1241: Chapter 1242: The Long Road Ahead
The thickness of the rubble blocking the entrance to the Sli Kingdom is about twenty ters. Yang Yu and the others, unlike He ng, do not possess bodies that can transform at will, making it impossible to easily pass through the rocks.
Digging through the rubble is ti-consuming and laborious, so Yang Yu thought of a solution.
Bai Jin marked He ng, who leapt onto the pile of rubble, transford into a puddle of water, and smoothly passed through the gaps between the stones.
Using magic implented on He ng’s body for positioning, Bai Jin created a vertical hole near where the rubble blocked the cave entrance, connecting the passage to the Sli Kingdom.
To ensure absolute safety, Bai Jin set up a Teleportation Magic Array in the clearing near the entrance. If any danger arose, they could return to the surface imdiately.
During this ti, Yang Yu took out a rope ladder from the system, dropped it into the cave, and was the first to enter.
The residual heat from Bai Jin’s magic around the walls, along with the scent of scorched earth, wafted into Yang Yu’s nostrils.
The light above shrank to a point as Yang Yu entered the pitch-black darkness.
After a while, Yang Yu stepped onto the cold ground and opened the panel, and He ng’s attribute panel appeared before him.
Taking out a flashlight, he switched it on, confirming He ng was indeed not far from Yang Yu.
Shining the flashlight deeper into the cave, the passage to the Sli Kingdom was narrow, the uneven ground reflecting the flashlight’s beam, with odd stones standing like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
No matter how you looked at it, this was an extrely difficult path to traverse.
The others followed Yang Yu, descending into the passage one after another; Iyas used the Holy Light in his hand to illuminate Yang Yu’s path, while Bai Jin was the last to enter, lighting up their rear with Fla Magic.
Once everyone was confird to be present, He ng transford into human form to cautiously lead the group.
The road to the Sli Kingdom is long; even if He ng rolled all the way down as a sli, it would take at least an hour to reach the kingdom.
As they trudged along the rugged path, the cold dampness closed in on Yang Yu and his companions, occasionally accompanied by a unique scent that made them dizzy.
If ordinary adventurers were walking in this dark and narrow cave, it wouldn’t take long for their mindset to change, and they would turn back and flee.
But Yang Yu and his companions were fearless.
Suddenly, a nondescript rock in front of Yang Yu started to move.
Yang Yu abruptly stopped, halting everyone, staring intently at the trembling stone.
Soon, a pink gel-like creature erged from behind the stone.
Sensing Yang Yu and the others’ presence, the pink gel-like creature imdiately shrank back and disappeared behind the stone.
Witnessing this, Iyas tilted his head. Where exactly did that sli co from just now? Have they already reached the Sli Kingdom?
“Unexpectedly, just coming back and already encountering stowaways here.”
He ng sighed heavily,
“It’s not too far from here. Let remind you in advance: absolutely, absolutely, absolutely no hostility, and don’t act rashly.”
He ng’s words baffled everyone, but it didn’t take long for them to understand what He ng ant.
They followed He ng for another ten or so minutes. Lotcar, with keen hearing, seed to hear sothing slowly slithering.
As they advanced, the sound beca clearer to Lotcar, eventually reaching the ears of the others.
Iyas raised his light sphere, illuminating the path ahead.
Soon, massive black slis were seen hanging from the cave ceiling, their bodies contracting and expanding slowly as they slithered at the ceiling.
This scene looked familiar to Bai Jin and the others, yet it was the first ti they had seen such enormous slis.
The black slis suspended from the cave ceiling were as large as small minivans. Should they fall, they could easily crush an ox.
Scattered around these black slis were nurous human skeletons and damaged armor. The human bones had completely discolored, and the equipnt was in tatters, with the fabric looking as fragile as paper ready to rip.
It appeared that so people were interested in where this cave led and had once explored it, only to be denied by these massive slis, trapped with no return.
Identifying the attributes of these black slis, Yang Yu could see that the weakest sli here had levels exceeding ninety, defense attributes averaging over two thousand, extrely high resistance, and even dealing with a single one would be ti-consuming for ordinary adventurers. Not to ntion, this narrow cave contained no less than twenty such slis.
These black slis are the guards protecting the Sli Kingdom.
Illuminated by Iyas’s light, the largest black sli dropped from the cave ceiling, splattered on the ground, transforming instantaneously into a clawed monster, rushing towards Yang Yu and the others aggressively.
At this, He ng calmly extended his hand, releasing magic power to encrypt communication with the slis here.
The previously aggressive massive black sli quickly cald down, its shape changing, and it too transford into a human form.
A curvy black Sli Girl appeared before Yang Yu, layers of black armor enveloping her, giving her quite a general’s deanor.
The black sli formally saluted He ng, saying:
“Welco back, our little Princess. His Majesty the King will surely be delighted. Who knows where you’ve been all these years. During the days you were missing, His Majesty was terribly worried.”
The Sli General suddenly spoke human language, surprising He ng slightly: “You can speak human language…and transform… I thought only I could do that.”
The Sli General chuckled: “Transforming is knowledge learned at university. Human language is encrypted language specialized by scholars in human studies and advanced academics. Princess, you were still young and only graduated elentary school before leaving, so naturally didn’t know. If Princess is interested… well, you’ve already beco a master of human language during your travels. Many scholars of human studies will surely find your experiences fascinating.”
At this, He ng’s head felt swollen, urging: “Alright, alright, don’t bring this up.
I have friends from the Human World behind that I wish to bring to the Sli Kingdom. Could you open a path for us?”
The black sli smiled slightly, “That might be inappropriate, don’t you think? This is the Sli Kingdom, it’s not a place anyone can casually enter.
The reason I use human language to communicate with the Princess in this manner… I trust Princess and the humans understand the aning behind this?
Princess, please return with us imdiately. As for the humans, please leave swiftly, or else, don’t bla for being impolite!”
With that, drop by drop, enormous black slis fell from the cave ceiling, transforming into clawed black monsters around the Sli General.
