Chapter 65 Going deep into the ground
"No need to see, this is the case after I killed this monster last time!"
Viscount Jackson took out a white handkerchief and wiped the sword on his hand, and put the bright sword body into the scabbard.¥f
"After death, self-destruction will occur!"
Leilin was a little surprised that this was completely inconsistent with the general growth rules of organisms.
Looking at the skeleton that was still venting white air, Lei Lin stepped forward and picked up a bone.
The white dry bones were covered with cracks, as if they would fall apart with a slight touch. Lei Lin's fingers exerted force and squirted! The dry bones turned into bone meal.
"Yeah, it's not right!" Lei Lin glanced at him and found a few red blood vessels in the middle of the white bone meal.
"The target has life fluctuations. When high-energy bacteria are detected, it is recommended that the subject stay away immediately!" At this time, the chip's scanning results also appeared in front of Lei Lin.
Lei Lin quickly threw the red blood vessels on his hand, and at the same time, he used energy particles to start cleaning his palms.
"What's wrong?" Melfiler found out that something was wrong.
"Be careful of those bones, there are still things inside!" Lei Lin frowned and quickly retreated for a distance.
Scream! At this moment, many red blood vessels just now suddenly appeared on the lizard skeleton, and the bones were penetrated into countless holes. It seemed that the previous blood vessels were parasitic in the bone marrow position inside the bone.
Countless blood-red thin tubes emerged, tangling like tree roots, forming a small monster.
It looks a bit like the original monster, but its whole body is blood-red, and there are bulging blood vessels from time to time. It has no eyes or mouth, and its four legs are very strong.
Swhoosh! The monster was extremely fast. Before Jackson and other wizard apprentices reacted, they left their previous position, leaving only a thin red line in everyone's eyes.
"Chasing! This monster is definitely related to the withered forest!" A man covered in a gray robe whispered a few words in Jackson's ear, and Viscount Jackson immediately issued an order.
"That man in gray robe has been following Jackson since the Polar Night City. He should be a confidant and has very powerful detection capabilities!"
Lei Lin narrowed his eyes and scanned it with a chip, "Is there any fluctuation of a second-class apprentice in this body shape and appearance? It's interesting!"
"Quick! Keep up!"
With Jackson's orders, the soldiers of the Black Iron Guard immediately stepped forward. Jackson was in the center of the guard, and the man in the gray robe followed closely behind.
The remaining wizard apprentices looked at each other, and Melfiler was helpless: "Come on!"
Lelin deliberately suppressed his speed and went parallel to Melfiler. "Do you have any guesses about the thing before?"
"It seems to be some kind of parasite! Judging from the strength of the parasite, the mother body has at least a third-class apprentice level, or even... a formal wizard!" Melfiler smiled bitterly.
For formal wizards, Leilin's team is not a danger at all. Any number of first-level witchcraft can destroy Leilin and the others.
"It shouldn't be!" Lei Lin shook his head and said. According to the chip's calculations, although the parasite was good, the main body was at most the energy intensity of the third-class apprentice's peak. Otherwise, Lei Lin was the first to escape.
"It's just... I chose a mere investigation task myself, but it actually involves creatures with at least a third-class apprenticeship difficulty. This luck..." Lei Lin didn't know what to say about himself.
I was also glad that I didn't come alone at the beginning. Otherwise, if I didn't explode my abilities in times of adversity like the protagonists in the novels in previous life, I would have only ended up dead ending.
"Be careful, we are getting deeper and deeper, and I can feel the strong negative energy breath in the air!"
A wizard apprentice yelled loudly.
Lei Lin's feelings about negative energy are more obvious. After all, he majored in dark energy particles. Just as the plant and light systems pay more attention to the study of positive energy, for the dark system, Lei Lin spent a lot more time on negative energy than ordinary people.
"It's almost as good as the periphery of Black Bone Forest College. No wonder I feel like I'm in water!"
Leilin pulled her collar high to cover the smile that appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Clang! The sound of armor hitting and the team suddenly stopped.
"It's gone! The red monster, I saw it paused here and suddenly disappeared!" Jackson pulled out his long sword: "Warning!"
The Black Iron Guard immediately surrounded the place and guarded Jackson and other wizard apprentices inside to guard against sudden attacks.
"This should be the core area of the withered forest!" Melfiler touched his beard.
"Here, some of the detection methods I prepared before can be used!" Melfiler took out a tube of black potion from his shirt, opened the bottle plug, and gently poured it on the ground.
Didi!!
After the black medicine liquid fell to the ground, it turned into tiny ants, constantly crawling around.
After all the potions were used up, Lelin estimated that a total of nearly 10,000 ants appeared.
"This level of detection can be called a full-scale coverage search, and it is difficult for the parasite to escape!" Lei Lin thought to himself.
Sure enough, after waiting for more than ten minutes, a black ant appeared at Melfier's feet and climbed along his clothes to Melfier's ear, as if saying something next to his ear.
"Finish it! Come with me!" Melfiler followed the ant and led the team to a withered oak tree.
"Take this oak away!" Melfiler pointed to the big tree, "According to my detection, there is a secret passage under this oak."
"Team! Go!" Viscount Jackson waved his hand.
The guard in black armor immediately stepped forward, waved his spear and stabbed it at the oak tree.
The withered oak obviously could not withstand this attack. Many holes were poked out by the spear, and many wood chips flew into the air. It seemed as if it was snowing. Ten guards rushed to move away the completely decaying oak, revealing a dark hole.
"It's here!" Melfiler's eyes lit up and he recited a few more spells.
The dense clusters of black ants crawled from all sides and all entered the holes.
Suddenly, Melfiel's face turned pale, his body fell like the back, and he almost fainted.
"What's wrong?" Raelin appeared behind Melfiel and helped him on his waist.
"There are very dangerous creatures in the cave. It wiped out all my little babies!" Melfiler's face looked ugly.
"What should we do?" an apprentice asked, it seemed that he wanted to return to the city first.
"Prepare the torch!" Jackson waved his hand, "Let's go down and take a look!"
"Yes!" The guards carried out the city lord's mission well. Lei Lin and the wizards looked at each other, but in the end they had no choice but to follow.
The entrance of the cave is relatively small, and adults need to bend down to get in, but the deeper they go inside, the wider they become. Later, the guards could walk shoulder to shoulder, and they were not yet at the top of the cave with torches.
"Trouble! Judging from the height of this cave, the body of the 'maternal body' must not be too small." Lei Lin touched the skin on his waist. If he hadn't prepared many trump cards, he might have secretly left the team.
After all, life seems more precious to anger a city lord.
"Master Viscount! Two forks appeared in front of him!" A man with the appearance of a small team leader told Jackson.
"I'll go and have a look!" Jackson walked forward.
Lei Lin followed behind, and sure enough, two holes that were almost the same size appeared in front of him, deep and far. When he looked down, he could only see the bottomless darkness, like a monster with a big mouth open.
"The negative energy concentration here is too high, and ordinary exploration methods cannot work!" The man in gray robe next to the city lord suddenly spoke.
"Call two people and explore the way as scouts!" Viscount Jackson frowned and issued an order.
"I'll do it!" Lei Lin suddenly stepped forward.
Since he knew that the "mother body" was extremely powerful, he didn't want to lose his combat power in vain.
"Since Mr. Leilin is willing to take action, that's the best!" Viscount Jackson smiled.
Lei Lin stepped forward a few steps and took out a transparent crystal from his arms.
"Gullystone-Jonater!" With the sound of Raylin's spell, a black vertical eye suddenly appeared inside the crystal.
The vertical eyes are as big as ordinary people, with no whites in their eyes, and their pure black pupils make people feel as if their souls are about to break out of their bodies at first sight.
"This is...the Eye of Negative Energy!"
"Spells that can only be used by wizards who specialize in negative energy!"
The apprentice behind whispered and looked at Lei Lin with a little more hostility and fear.
Wizards who specialize in negative energy often use level zero spells that are more lethal and more bloodthirsty and cruel. They are generally representatives of black wizards.
It is understandable that ordinary wizards show hostile gazes.
Lei Lin had no intention of explaining to the person behind him, and used force to crush the crystal.
The black vertical eyes were divided into two and floated towards the two holes respectively.
As the vertical eye entered the entrance of the cave, Leilin's eyes gradually closed. Viscount Jackson stared at Leilin nervously. The whole team was silent, and only the sound of torches burning continued to sound.
A few minutes later, Leilin opened his eyes: "In the cave on the left, there are only a few mutant lizard-like creatures, and at the end is a huge rock."
"As for the right, I only know it is a downward passage. My spell was defeated after continuing to penetrate deeper!"
"Since that's the case, let's go down together!" Jackson pointed to the hole on the right.
The cave on the right was even darker and wet. Leilin touched the soil wall next to him. Several moss-like things were all over the wall, wet, "So wet!"
Lei Lin's heart moved slightly, his face remained unchanged, and he pulled out a white towel from his arms and wiped his palms clean.
"I'm afraid it's already very close to those monsters' nests!"
