Chapter 272: The Creature in the Depths of the Cave
Translator: 549690339
Thus, guided by Silas Brooks, Xavier Perry, and Cheyenne Hamilton.
Leo Ray’s team of eight, joined by Solomon and Sylvia’s team of six, continued to cautiously advance in the winding and dark cave as a group of seventeen explorers.
As the group ventured deeper, under the illumination of the Light Crystal Stone, Leo Ray glanced at the occasional dried bloodstains on the cave walls and noticed that.
By now, the rotting sll in the air becos more evident, mixed with a peculiar mint-like fragrance.
Moreover, the initially spacious cave gradually beca narrower, but the number of forks evidently increased.
Most crucially, many other demon beast skeletons appeared on the uneven earthen ground surface.
“Lord, we have entered the core area of this Trapping cave.”
Looking at the increasingly complex environnt around them, the Ice Mage Joshua Bingaman, who was closely following Leo Ray, whispered in his ear.
He could see that a faint cold aura emanated from her slender hands, apparently ready to deal with any sudden situation.
Then, Joshua Bingaman continued, “The reason those Sharp-Blade Land Beasts dug this cave so intricately is to make it difficult for other demon beasts that accidentally enter to find their way out, making it easier for them to hunt.”
“The peculiar scent in the air is also one of the Sharp-Blade Land Beasts’ skills, ant to mask the sll of other demon beasts remaining in the cave.” “This confuses their prey’s sense of direction even further.”
“So that’s how it is. Indeed, there’s no end to the wonders of this world.”
Leo Ray couldn’t help but sigh as he nodded slightly, “Speaking of which, Joshua, I didn’t expect you to be not only proficient in alchemy but also so knowledgeable about these demon beasts.”
“Lord, you flatter . It just so happens that during my final year at the Royal
Noble Academy, my end-of-term assessnt was to exterminate a nest of
Sharp-Blade Land Beasts. That’s why I rember it so clearly.”
At these words, a smile blood on Joshua Bingaman’s cold face, as she shyly replied.
“Lord, I also rember that graduation assessnt.”
On the other side, Orion Wolfe, who hadn’t had much chance to show off, also chid in, “At that ti, while the Ice Queen successfully froze several Sharp-Blade Land Beasts, she also accidentally froze two academy instructors in ice sculptures. They spent a whole month in treatnt before they fully recovered!”
“Orion, why are you always sticking your nose in?”
Joshua Bingaman furrowed her brows slightly and countered, “I was just a bit nervous back then. After all, I hadn’t broken through to Tier Third. You also injured several classmates at that ti, including one Duke’s son.
In the end, your family paid a large sum of Gold Dragons, and your father, the Earl, went personally to the Duke’s castle to apologize.”
“As a result, when we were promoted to the elite class, apart from Linda, almost no one dared to team up with you for assessnts…”
“Well, I’m glad I never had contact with these two during our student days.”
Hearing this, Leo Ray, who was surrounded by the two won, couldn’t help but shiver and refocused his attention on the dark cave in front of him.
In this way, after passing through a long and complex labyrinth-like area, the narrow cave gradually widened again.
It seed that they had reached the latter half of the cave, the area where the Sharp-Blade Land Beasts themselves lived.
“Mr. Christopher, earlier, the three of us led the others and encountered those terrifying creatures just around the corner ahead.”
Seeing Zhao Lu, who was walking at the front, slowing down, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead while speaking with lingering fear.
“Let’s rest a bit at the back.”
Waving his hand slightly, Leo Ray signaled the three to step back and led his subordinates to the front.
Next, turning the corner of the passage in the cave, Leo Ray noticed.
Not far away, there were several lifeless bodies lying haphazardly. Without a doubt, these were the farrs who had just been attacked and killed by the Sharp-Blade Land Beasts.
Looking at the shocking blood red on the cave wall that hadn’t dried yet.
Zhao Lu and the others who had just retreated to the back couldn’t help but show fearful expressions and stepped back again.
Solomon and Sylvia also swallowed involuntarily, their throats rolling.
As for Leo Ray, who had experienced many events such as the Border Battlefield, he could naturally remain calm.
Afterward, everyone walked for a while, and suddenly, everything in front of them beca clear.
At this point, under Leo’s leadership, the group had arrived in a relatively spacious underground space.
The area here was about a hundred square ters.
On the ground, there were scattered remains of various white demon beast bones.
However, what was most eye-catching was under the illumination of the Light Crystal Stone.
On the four walls of the cave, a large number of black crystal-like objects with a frosted texture were embedded.
Looking closely, it could be seen that these black crystals, which reflected a faint light, were almost all over the space’s walls.
More notably, a small portion of the special black ore contained a faint golden energy, swirling and flowing like a nebula in the universe.
This sight made the entire space seem dreamlike at first glance, making people couldn’t help but exclaim.
Thus, even though they were both black in texture, there were obviously two different ores here.
Additionally, in a corner of the cave, several piles of excavated black crystals and strange black ores were casually stacked on the ground around them.
“Not bad, not bad. I recognize those ordinary black ores as Obsidian, a Level 2
Rare Resource that is necessary for upgrading the Guardian Defense
chanism and is exactly what I need right now.”
“I wonder what that strange black ore is?”
With a mixture of joy and curiosity, Leo Ray quickly walked over, picked up a strange black ore the size of a palm, and opened its attribute column.
“So this is a Dark Magic Crystal!”
Seeing the na displayed on the attribute column, a surprised and delighted
expression appeared on Leo Ray’s face again.
Without a doubt, this Level 3 Rare Resource was the last essential resource needed to upgrade the Guardian Defense chanism!
“I didn’t expect to find both missing resources in one go. It seems that the Guardian Defense chanism will be upgraded soon!”
Thinking of this, Leo Ray didn’t hesitate, waving his hand lightly and collecting all the two kinds of resources scattered on the ground into his bag..
