Chapter 9 The final rest area
(Today's two updates are over. Friends who have passed by are asking for collection and recommendation. Your support is my greatest motivation.ps: There will definitely be two updates tomorrow.) "Welcome to the last paradise in front of hell, the new one." As soon as Pannis finished speaking, a rough voice came from the darkness in front of the passage: "Don't this sound like Pannis? I'm bringing new people again."
The three girls didn't expect that there would be others here, and they were not mentally prepared at all. They were shocked. Catherine and Lina's right hands were already placed on the weapon, and Vivian's hands subconsciously formed a curse seal. Only Panis did not enter the state of combat readiness. He heard the sound and frowned impatiently. He pressed his hands down, stopping the three girls' alert. Without replying, he walked towards the direction where the sound came.
The three girls followed Panis and walked a few steps before suddenly finding themselves in an amazing environment.
This is a huge stone cave, which is thousands of square meters in the size of a stone cave. Several natural stone pillars run through the top of the cave, connecting the top of the cave and the bottom of the cave. The top of the cave is filled with luminous moss, like the stars in the night sky, illuminating the entire cave. The cave is very large, but there are only two holes in and out, making the cave look very safe. On the ground of the cave, a half-person-high wall was built with rocks in the center, and the center part was circled into the shape of a large camp. The stone walls seemed to have been reinforced for a long time, and were covered with various moss.
There were nine people gathered in the wall, divided into three groups, and they were obviously members of the three teams. One of the three groups couldn't see clearly, but looking at their height and messy beards, it was obvious that they were a dwarf. The dwarf held a large glass of ale in his hand, and watched Pannis and others approaching, and laughed and said, "Look, look, our coward Pannis is here again. Is anyone going to duel for you recently? Oh, no, you dare not accept it anyway. Hahaha, my joke is funny, I will write it down and wait for me to go back to Kuran to tell my son. Hey, Pannis, are you going to the wrong place?"
"Let me see, let me see." A human beside the dwarf also cheered: "I can't see clearly, Old Snetta, do you see clearly that it is a beautiful little girl? Tsk tsk, your dwarf's eyes are just taking advantage. Hello, Panis, were you here with Nana? This is not a black swan, not the place where the beautiful little girl should come. Be careful to scare people to cry, hahahaha."
"Best, if you don't want to be beaten, just control your mouth." A slim figure in the four on the other side shouted.
"Damn it, Para, I didn't say anything about you." Best, the human next to the dwarf, replied with a smile: "Besides, you are not a pretty little girl, what are you worried about, haha... Oh bastard, this is fucking boiled water, do you really want to fight?"
Panis ignored the people who were shouting randomly and treated them as invisible creatures. He just turned around and said "in conjunction" to the three girls, then passed by them, found a place where no one sat down and started to tidy up his backpack.
Hearing the word "people" Catherine became interested. Instead of sitting down with Pannis, she looked around and introduced herself: "We are the Nellie Adventure Group, I am Catherine, I greet you all the pioneers."
"Haha." A laugh came from the four-person group, but was immediately covered by another person with a strong outline. He first whispered to "be careful of politeness" before standing up and saying, "Is it the Neli adventure group of the Holy Capital of Knowledge?"
"Yes, it's us." Catherine gave a knight's greeting, regardless of whether anyone could see it: "I'm glad to see you all."
"My honor." The strong man did not approach. In fact, the three groups of people on the field, including the last place Panis chose, were at a certain distance from each other: "I am Vicci, the leader of the Iron Lion Adventure Group. Welcome to the only safe area in the lower cave. Is there anything to serve? Miss Catherine."
"Is there anything new in there recently?" Catherine said casually.
"What news can be there?" Dwarf Snetta shouted in a loud voice like a sign: "The demonized wolf pack has started a new round of hunting, the spray spores have occupied the territory of the Rat King, and the cave lizards have entered the activity period. Oh, my anvil, this is like this every time, every year. Little Niu, this is a crying cave, there will be no new things here, there will be no, understand."
"But there is news here." Catherine's voice was mysterious: "Do you want to listen to the news related to it?"
"Tell me quickly." The dwarf, who was still loud, couldn't bear the curiosity and started speaking first: "What news is there? Someone has any new discoveries?"
"No." Catherine shook her head and said, "Faral's Moonlight Adventure Group was attacked by others after the battle. The whereabouts of the commander and team mage are unknown. Is this news?"
"What?" Iron Lion's Vicci was surprised: "Is it also done by adventurers? Now few adventurers will attack each other."
"I don't know if it's an adventurer. It is said that the one who committed the murder was a two-person team." Hearing Catherine say this, everyone's eyes were all on the only two-person team on the field.
The two teams never made any sound from beginning to end, they didn't even move, they were far away from everyone, their whole bodies were hidden in the shadows, and they remained in a mysterious state. Until everyone stared at them, one of them whispered in a very slow voice: "It's not us, we just arrived not long ago, you should have seen us coming in through the entrance. And we are not adventurers either."
The other person's voice was short and sharp, but his speech was extremely brief, and only two words popped up: "The hand of the shadow, the executioner."
As the two words were spoken, the other two groups of adventurers subconsciously wanted to stay away from each other, but fortunately they stopped immediately and were not embarrassed. Catherine shook her head and said, "It's not them. I have a portrait of the attacker here. One of the attackers is very tall and fat, and the other should be a mage."
He handed the portrait to his colleagues and passed it to him one by one. After knowing that the duo of Shadow Hand had also seen it, Catherine retrieved the portrait and returned to Panis: "Everyone should pay more attention to these two people when you go in. Moreover, the two people in the Moonlight Adventure Group may have just been caught by them and were not killed."
"You are kind." Panis sneered, stopped tidying up his backpack: "I'm still worried about the safety of these people, but I don't know if they appreciate it."
"My sister just wants them to help us share the pressure, so she is not worried about them, hum." Lina found that her three teammates were looking at her in horror, and immediately asked, "What are you watching me do?"
"You have finished reading this book? Such a thick book." Catherine looked at Lina in surprise: "Have you changed to a new book?"
"Of course, how can you guys understand the reading speed of this lady? I changed the new book this morning." Lina sat on the ground, smiling proudly with her waist in her waist.
"What's this time?" Katherine sighed pressing her forehead.
"Look." Lina took out a book in the dark and Yang Yang: "The Devil and I, Louise. But what the hell is this the title of the book."
"I want to know too." Vivian pulled Lalina from the side: "Lina, you'd better read this book, this time it's so scary."
Panis, who had recovered from the horror, ignored the three girls who didn't know what they were saying, and sorted out the three modified leather helmets and handed them over. The girls' attention was attracted by the helmets, and they took them in their hands to observe carefully with the light of the luminous moss. It was said that it was a transformation, but in fact it was just a small sunken silver metal piece embedded on the upper part of the forehead. The metal piece was very smooth, and if it was in a bright place, it could completely illuminate the figure.
Panis took out a white crystal fragment of the size of a index finger nail and activated it casually. A hazy light slightly stronger than the luminous moss enveloped the range of half a meter around the crystal. When Panis pasted the crystal on the metal sheet and fixed it, the originally scattered light was condensed in one direction, and the brightness was also greatly enhanced, illuminating the range of a few meters on the front of the helmet to the extent that the human face could be seen clearly.
"This is fun." Vivian snatched the helmet from Panis's hand and looked around curiously.
"It's not over yet." Panis took out another crystal, activated it and handed it to Vivian: "This one is attached to the top of the helmet. Don't, it's not inside, it's outside. Yes, it's there. This one illuminates us around us. The one on the forehead can only look in front and cannot look in itself."
The girls assembled the crystals according to Panis's movements and put on their helmets. Lina cheered: "Ha, this brightness is perfect for reading."
"Do you want to be blind?" Catherine snatched Lina's book and took out again: "You are absolutely not allowed to read books in the cave in the future."
"I don't care about it, Miss." Lina shouted with her waist and glared, "Miss, Oh, don't hit me on the head. Oh, okay, okay, I'm wrong with my head, I won't look at it."
Panis looked at Catherine with a questionable look, but Catherine shrugged helplessly, avoiding the question, and also put on her helmet: "Can you leave, Mr. Panis?"
"Let's go." Panis stood up and led the way to the only exit of the huge cave. But Catherine did not follow immediately, dragged behind and said politely to the others: "Dear fellow travelers, let's take a step first."
"Wait, little girl, no, Miss." Dwarf Snetta suddenly shouted: "I remembered that I seemed to have seen the fat man in the picture a few days ago. I can't be sure it was him, but he looked very similar. At that time, he was in the Crystal Hell, and the coward Panis knew where it was."
"Thank you." Catherine thanked her in surprise, ran a few steps and caught up with Panis, who was almost at the exit. The moment she stepped onto the exit passage, Catherine felt as if she had passed through a layer of water mist, and at the same time heard Panis' introduction: "This is a solidified directional shield, which is only effective for demonized creatures. It is set to prevent the demonized creatures from following the return adventurers through the exit outside and entering the last rest hall, but as far as I know, it has not been used yet."
Walking to the end of the exit passage, Panis pointed to the stone wall and said, "If you come back from the opposite side, the mechanisms that need to be cracked are similar to those we encountered when we came in, but it is much easier if we want to go out. There are two last points. First, you must close your eyes when going out, and then open the Dou Qi Shield or Magic Shield. Any situation outside may occur. Second, in order to prevent the explorer from being trapped in the inside after the death of the inside, there is a depression on the right wall of this exit where only one person can squeeze into. There is a teleportation array on the ground, which requires a piece of 5,000 ter of any attribute crystal, which can be directly teleported to a hidden valley in the Nara Mountains outside. Of course, if the explorer dies, it will be difficult for the adventure team to find it back here, but you should remember the approximate location, maybe it will be used. That's all, we're going in."
He punched a secret bulge on the wall. Panis took the lead, and the four of them closed their eyes and sank into the rock wall one by one.
