Lord of Hyranza

Those ghost monkeys are holding blowing arrows in their hands, just hanging a few leaves under their crotches. They are not tall, they look like monkeys covered with fine fluff, cunning and insidious, full of greed and desire, squatting on the branches one by one , Looking at the camp of the combat team, there was a sharp cry of woo-wa-la.

Samira squatted halfway on the grass, drew the forest bow in her hand again, and the arrow with white feathers turned into a flash of light, precisely piercing through a ghost monkey squatting on a branch. The place where she was sleeping happened to be where she slept last night. It was lying on the branch with its ugly nose, sticking to the branch and sniffing the smell. Samira couldn't help but shoot an arrow at last with its obscene appearance.

A group of ghost monkeys scattered on the tree, leaving only one ghost monkey with a feathered arrow between his eyebrows, and he was still holding a blowing arrow tightly in his hand.

Andrew said: "Don't pay attention to these guys. You can't kill them all. These guys are territorial. As long as we leave their territory, they won't dare to follow us."

After breakfast, the combat team put away the tent at the entrance of the cave, and the ghost monkeys gathered again, this time even more ghost monkeys gathered.

The ogre complained to Suldak that this kind of little ghost monkey was not tasty at all, and his stomach would hurt if he ate too much. Rushing to a place a little farther away will not scare them away.

The combat team walked through the jungle, and hundreds of ghost monkeys followed the team on the trees behind them.

Until he came to a river valley, the river was not too deep, but the river was seven or eight meters wide. Andrew stepped into the river and said to Suldak excitedly: "Captain, those ghost monkeys are not Can swim, let's hurry across the river and take advantage of this opportunity to shake them off."

The team quickly walked through the waist-deep river. When the ghost monkeys saw the team crossing the river, they jumped down from the trees one after another. Whoa whoa.

A few ghost monkeys boldly jumped into the river, and the river quickly covered their heads. They didn't even have the ability to struggle in the river before they were washed away by the river.The rest of the ghost monkeys dare not go into the water.

Suldak led the combat team quickly into the dense jungle on the opposite side. Just after entering the jungle, he found that there seemed to be something moving outside the forest. Silent panting sounded into Suldak's ears along with the sound of the wind. About a hundred meters away, there was a low growl like a hellhound, followed by the harsh sound of nails scraping against wood.

After walking for so long, he finally met a hellhound in the jungle, and Suldak hurried over with his combat team.

There was another strange howling sound in the distance, melancholy and continuous, and it was quiet after a long time.

A croton tree more than [-] meters high fell down, and its branches spread out in all directions like a huge house.

Andrew warned everyone to stay away from the leaves, which can irritate the skin.Then the native warrior pushed the branch aside and squeezed his way through the other branches.

After traveling a short distance of a few hundred meters, the landform here has undergone earth-shaking changes. There are jagged rocks everywhere in the jungle. Follow the sound to search for them. After passing through this strange rock area, several people were caught by the scene in front of them. shocked.

It is covered with a plant with huge leaves, so it is like standing in a tomato garden twenty times smaller.

There are thick and curly leaves everywhere, exuding a numbing and astringent smell. Those huge vegetation don't look like trees, just like tomato vines, with a huge red fruit hanging on it, each fruit is as long as It can reach two meters, and it is red hanging on the tree, and it is shining flickeringly. The surface of the fruit skin is covered with honeycomb-like honeycombs, and they are constantly wriggling.

That weird growling sound came from here, but when everyone arrived here, that sound disappeared quickly.

There was a strange atmosphere in the whole woodland. Even Samira and Andrew seemed to have never seen the strange plants here. Andrew reached out to touch a thick green tree trunk, and the tall plant with a diameter of about two meters actually moved slightly. After a while, he avoided Andrew's hand as if he was thinking, and the broad and thick leaves on the top of the plant curled up one after another, as if the whole plant withered in an instant.

"What kind of tree is this?" Suldak asked the native warrior curiously.

Andrew shook his head, and he set his eyes on Samira.

I didn't expect the half-elf archer to know the same thing...

Chapter 461 Underground Karst Cave

Suldak discovered that these plants with huge leaves were actually well integrated with the surrounding trees. Those huge red fruits were hidden under the canopy of the trees. Can't notice the difference here.

Samira, who is the guide of Wojmara City, and Andrew, an aboriginal Nanai native of the Maca plane, said at the same time that they did not know these plants. Suldak thought to himself: This kind of plant with huge red fruits The recognition of plants can be said to be very high, and such a large area grows in this valley, how could it be an unknown new species.

Although the trunks of these plants are up to two meters in diameter, their skins are turquoise. They don't look as old as trees, and there are some feet-long, almost transparent thorns growing on the branches. Like a huge parasol, it tightly covers the space below. Huge red fruits hang in the air, and some red fruits are still wriggling.

The ogre looked up at the huge red fruit hanging in the air, and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.

He grabbed a handful of sand on the ground, wiped it vigorously on his hands, and broke off the thorns with a big wooden stick. Regardless of how thorny the remaining thorns were, he climbed to the top of the tree along the green branches, and the green plant It seemed to be resisting the ogre, constantly shaking the green branches.

The ogre moved very quickly, and when Suldak wanted to make a sound, his big hand had already grabbed the red fruit. In his eyes, that huge red fruit seemed to be an incomparably delicious food.

In Suldak's impression, ogres usually like to eat meat, so he didn't feel that these giant red fruits were attractive to ogres, but the scene in front of him completely subverted his perception of ogres. Recognition, Greeter also likes to eat brightly colored fruits...

But when Gulitum just touched the giant fruit, the delicate red fruit fell from the calyx in response to the sound, and fell to the ground, bursting into a large puddle of red juice.

What was wrapped in the giant fruit was also exposed. It was clearly the body of a huge beast, but it had been corroded by the red juice so that only a skeleton with carrion remained. It was impossible to tell what kind of beast it was. The red juice shattered all over the ground, and the thin layer of peel quickly gathered into a ball.

The red pulp on the ground exudes a rotten smell, which makes Suldak want to vomit.

But at this time, he didn't have time to care about this at all, because after the red fruit fell, the calyx of the giant plant hanging in the air turned into a big mouth full of sharp teeth, and the branches and vines behind it quickly extended, like an adult The giant python with a thick waist bit the ogre.

The ogre Gullitum was taken aback. He wanted to grab the huge calyx full of sharp teeth with his hands, but he forgot that he was hugging the trunk of the giant plant. The place fell down, but his body was still strong, adjusted his posture in the air, and landed firmly on the open space.

The huge calyx's bite fell into the air, and immediately chased after the ogre. Gulitum was also extremely brave. He reached out and picked up the big wooden stick, and threw it at the flexible calyx like a python. The calyx was caught by the ogre The magic hit it with all its strength, and it was dripping with juice, leaving only a section of the vine, which quickly shrank back.

Before the ogre Gulitum celebrated his victory to the team, at almost the same time, more than a dozen vines full of sharp teeth protruded from the surrounding treetops, winding towards the members of the combat team. The ogre was still thinking about fighting back, but tripped over a tree vine that came out from behind. The moment his body fell, the tree vine had already wrapped around the ogre's thigh.

The ogre reached out and grabbed the calyx of the vine, trying to tear off the vine, but in an instant, several vines entangled around, and the ogre was so frightened that it rolled and crawled to break free from the entanglement of the vine, and followed The combat team ran out of the woodland behind.

All the flower trees seemed to come alive at this moment, turning into demons and ghosts with claws and claws. The tree vines hung down from the top of the flower trees with calyxes full of sharp teeth. Andrew and Samira were frightened. Running out, intending to escape from the area where flower trees grow.

Suldak finally remembered what these plants were. When he bought insect repellent powder and man-eating pollen at the magic pharmacy, the box of the man-eating pollen was impressively painted with this kind of plant, and it was only drawn with a few strokes. The relief didn't leave much impression on Suldak's heart. The scene in front of him was almost the same as the relief on the cannibal pollen box. Suldak pulled out the blood red crescent scimitar and shouted to everyone in the team:

"Quick retreat! These are piranhas from hell."

When the four of them were desperately running back and forth on the road, Suldak felt that the fruits on these piranha trees were constantly bursting, and the surrounding vines with calyxes were gathering more and more, and the whole woodland was full of the smell of corpses. Duck poured the power of holy light into the blood-red crescent in his hand, and the blade of the blood-red crescent turned from red to glaring white flames, and cut off a tree vine, and a large part of the vine withered in an instant.

The ogre can take seven or eight meters in one step, and runs much faster than other people when running, but he is huge, and he can't avoid the tree vines extending from the sides and the top of his head. It stopped his steps and made him tired of coping among the piranha bushes.

Samira's body was light and nimble, she dodged left and right under the attack of the man-eating flower vines with her long legs, and quickly rushed to the front, but when she saw the man-eating flower vines laying a dense vine on the way everyone came, The net, immediately turned around and ran back desperately.

Andrew, who was following Samira, cut off a vine, and the four members of the team could only flee towards the hillside along the edge of the piranha tree.

The road when we came was already covered with vines and vines, trying to find an exit that could break through. The whole woodland was filled with a rotten and sweet smell. It is said that the piranha tree can secrete a hallucinogenic Toxin, Suldak quickly reminded the team members to cover their mouths and noses, and even the ogre's head was covered with a rag.

Andrew brandished a big ax to open the way ahead, and Suldak was in charge of cutting off the back. Seeing that the road ahead was about to be blocked by layers of trees and vines, Andrew strode to the front, and a pair of phantoms with staring eyes appeared behind him. He took a step forward, jumped high, and slammed down the huge ax held tightly in both hands. With a white light on the blade of the ax, it split the tree vines in front of him into two sections.

The four members of the team panicked and ran to a rock wall. Seeing a cave in the mountain wall, everyone in the combat team ran towards the cave, and quickly got into the cave before the trees and vines caught up.

As soon as Suldak stepped into the cave, the crazy man-eating flower vines had already blocked the entrance of the cave, and there were still some flower vines extending inward along the cave, but after all, the length of these flower vines was limited, so the team backed up again and again, chasing after them The few flower vines were chopped into several sections by Andrew, and the rest of the flower vines shrank back in embarrassment.

A large area of ​​piranha trees grew outside the entrance of the cave, and any birds and beasts were seen in these areas. Obviously, once those animals approached here, they became the nourishment of piranhas. The man-eating flowers are powerful, but they were not caught by the piranhas, but they were trapped in this cave. A large number of piranhas and vines almost blocked the entrance of the cave. Now it seems that we can only wait and see how long it takes for these piranhas to disperse. go.

Andrew walked to the entrance of the cave with a big ax in his hand, trying to clean up the man-eating flower vines. After the Nanai native warrior cut off seven or eight man-eating flower vines in a row, the man-eating flower vines were obviously not attracted by the native warriors and would not easily Extend the calyx with sharp teeth into the cave, and these piranha vines began to secrete a pale pink poisonous mist, which diffused into the cave, and the cave was filled with a strange smell of decay and sweetness.

In order to avoid being poisoned by inhaling too much poisonous mist, Suldak immediately led the combat team to explore the depths of the cave.

When entering this cave for the first time, the ogre crawled in almost half-kneeling, but unexpectedly, the cave was much wider than the entrance outside. After walking more than [-] meters inside, the ogre could already stand in the cave. inside.

Although there are no towering mountains in this area, the caves look very deep.

Waiting at the entrance of the cave will only let those man-eating flower vines continue to guard outside the cave. Surdak looked into the depths of the cave and said to several members of the team: "Will the other end of this cave lead to the other side of the mountain?" On the one hand, we are already trapped here anyway, why not go in and have a look..."

Andrew sat on a rock, sharpened the blade of the ax with a whetstone, raised his head and said to Suldak, "I have no objection!"

The half-elf archer walked into the cave first. At this time, Suldak hurriedly took out the holy light torch in his magic pocket, poured a trace of holy breath, and let the holy light torch ignite a white flame. The light around the cave will reveal every detail, as if dispelling the coldness in the cave.

The three of them walked more than ten meters inward, and the ogre behind followed them in stride, and said to them: "I have no objection to exploring the cave, but should we consider lunch? Find something to eat, or I will rush out of the hole to see if I can get some food back, hey, hey...wait for me!"

The ground in the cave is full of boulders that block the road at any time, and it is very difficult to walk. In some places that are impassable, Andrew has to use a big ax to break the rocks. People follow the cave to a mountainside, where hundreds of stalactites hang down from the top of the cave, and these stone pillars are still dripping water.

The ogre ran to a water pool in a stalactite execution ground, knelt on the rocky ground and wanted to probe to drink the clear water inside, but was stopped by Suldak.

Suldak said, "Don't drink to your stomach."

After speaking, he took out a water gathering rune board from the magic backpack, stuck it on the stone wall, embedded a piece of magic spar into the gem base of the rune board, and soon the funnel-shaped water collector in front of the rune board A lot of clear water gathered in the middle, Andrew helped Suldak set up the water collector next to the rune board, and then asked Suldak: "Captain, do we still want to go in?"

Suldak rested on a stalactite and said: "These hell piranhas will not appear at the entrance of the cave for no reason, so I want to take a look inside the cave."

Andrew looked at the broken ax in his hand with some distress, and agreed honestly: "Oh!"

"The marching rations we carry are enough for us to last five days in the cave, don't worry about your stomach." Suldak said to the ogre next to him.

"I'm relieved when you say that, it's really uncomfortable to be hungry!" A relieved smile appeared on the ogre's face.

"Samila, were there many caves in this area before?" Suldak asked Samira who had been a guide for a while.

The half-elf archer took the map, and with the help of the holy light torch in Suldak's hand, looked for the current location of the team, and drew a deep trace with his finger on a mountainous place on the map, saying: " I heard before that there is an underground karst cave network in the northern suburbs of the city, but it is usually occupied by ghost monkeys, and the paths of the caves here are intricate. Few adventure groups are willing to walk in. Those ghost monkeys like to hide in dark caves and blow poison Arrows are of no value in themselves, and this cave is almost their range of activities."

"But now I can't even see a ghost monkey in the cave." Andrew looked around the cave, but found no living things.

Suldak thought for a while before saying, "The man-eating flower trees outside the cave can grow so luxuriantly, it is likely that they have absorbed a large number of ghost monkeys as nutrients."

"Captain, is there something that hunts those ghost monkeys specifically in the cave, and only some ghost monkeys escaped from this underground cave?" Andrew couldn't help asking as if he had thought of a terrible thing.

"So we have to continue to explore inside to see what's in this cave." The more Suldak thought about it, the more he felt that the combat team might have gone the right way by mistake.

There was a blue flame coming out of the fire-focusing scroll. Andrew put the cooking pot on the fire, waited for the water in the pot to boil, and then added batter-like marching rations, so that the cooked porridge would not stick to the bottom.

The team ate something before continuing to the depths of the cave.

Along the way, there was no trace of the hellhound, and Suldak inevitably felt that he might be thinking too much.

I don't know how deep this cave is, and the team also encountered some intricate forks. In order to avoid getting lost in the cave, Samira made clear road signs at the most inconspicuous positions at each fork. Here Going deep underground, once you get lost in the cave, it is not easy to get out of the cave network.

This road stretched all the way down. Although the slope was relatively gentle, Suldak could still feel that the team had gone deep underground.

The cave is very quiet, no living things can be found, even moss does not grow on the stone walls, and the echo can be heard clearly when speaking, the silence is like boundless terror slowly growing in everyone's hearts, even the simple and honest Andrew Also became a little irritable.

The team rested in the cave for one night, and then walked inside for half a day.

Just when Suldak felt that there was really nothing in the cave, the low roar of the hellhound could be faintly heard from the depths of the cave...

Chapter 462 Ancient Ruins

Worried that the light of the holy light torch would reveal the whereabouts of the team, Suldak extinguished the holy light torch, and the surroundings immediately fell into a gloomy darkness.

The ground in the cave is not flat, there are protruding stone edges everywhere on the stone wall, and some broken stones under the feet are as sharp as knives. The stalactite pillars lined up on both sides are like spears in the hands of knights. If you accidentally hit these rocks, the team of four could not move forward.

Andrew hit the raised rock with his head, making a dull sound.

Suldak quickly grabbed Andrew and said, "Wait a minute, this won't work! Before we find the hellhounds, they may have already run away. After all, we still can't adapt to the world without light."

Andrew rubbed his forehead with a big bump, and said depressingly: "If you light the torch, we will become targets in the dark."

Suldak squatted down and placed four pottery bowls on the rocky ground, lit the faint blue flames inside, a cool light came out from the cave, and the flames reflected everyone's faces in blue, especially the ogre Gullit. Mu's face looked the most terrifying. This was the first time Suldak started the sacrificial ceremony in front of the team members.

Although several sacrificial ceremonies have been launched before, the altars are all hidden in tents, and the team members have not seen the complete ceremonies.

'You are the holy essence of light and sound, the most beautiful and harmonious, the most dazzling, the most pure and innocent...'

After Suldak recited this prayer, the face of the two-faced four-armed demon god turned to Suldak, and the hollow and deep eye sockets under the mask looked straight into the distance.

Suldak took out the heads of two hellhounds and placed them on the altar. The heads of the two hellhounds slowly disappeared in the air, and four beams of light fell on the team members one after another. Suldak prayed this time is the 'eye of truth'.

The 'Eye of Reality' can not only see the mana fluctuations of the magic lines in the body of the monster, but also has the function of detecting invisibility and night vision. Body' so durable.

The ogre rubbed his eyes vigorously, and said with surprise, "Hey, Andrew, I can see..."

There was still darkness in front of everyone, but in the darkness, the rock walls and the gravel under their feet suddenly had light-colored outlines, like some kind of perspective, Sami stretched out his hand to touch the rock wall, and touched the cold and hard rock wall, Obviously, the outlines made up of those simple lines in the eyes are real.

The half-elf archer suddenly understood why Suldak asked the guards who were treating injuries to hand over the corpses of the hell dogs in the treatment room on the edge of the city wall, and was very lucky to find the magic-weave spirit bones from the bodies of these hell dogs , I didn't see him dissecting all the hellhound corpses, but he was able to accurately find the precious spiritual bones.

Samira asked with some surprise: "Captain, did you use this to discover the magic-weave spirit bone in the hellhound's body?"

Knowing that this matter cannot be concealed, Suldak admitted frankly: "It's almost like this!"

After Andrew had the 'Eye of Reality', he also knew what this ability meant. He thought of the hell dogs killed on the battlefield outside Wojmara, and sighed: "Most hell dogs After the dog's body died, it was carried directly to the pile of corpses and burned without even looking at it, and I don't know how many precious magic-weave spirit bones were burnt."

Samira said flatteringly to Suldak: "Captain, otherwise after this mission is over, we will go outside the city to help clean up the battlefield after returning to the city, and we will definitely gain something by then."

Suldak knew that the half-elf archer would not let go of any good opportunity to make money, especially after possessing the 'Eye of Reality'. The corpses of those hellhounds on the battlefield are like untapped treasures. The 'Magic Pattern Spirit Bone' made a lot of money. If he blocked Samira's money, the half-elf archer would probably hate him for the rest of his life.

However, the issue of principle must be mentioned first. Suldak said to Samira: "The premise is that the dispatch mission of the Hailansa Guard Battalion cannot be affected."

"Of course!" Samira readily agreed.

Holding the torch of holy light in his hand, Suldak stood beside the stone wall and said to Samira and Andrew: "At that time, I will help you bless the effect of the 'Eye of Reality'. As for who can pick up the spirit bone, it all depends Personal luck, you handle these magic-weave spirit bones yourself, so that you can subsidize your family."

Samira and Andrew didn't expect Suldak to be so generous, and directly gave them the exact amount they got from searching for the spirit bones. Both of them were overjoyed.

The half-elf girl held her right arm with one hand, stood beside Suldak, and said excitedly to Suldak: "Captain, I want to hear your story about Hailansa City!"

Perhaps in her heart, Hailansa City was determined to be a wealthy city, otherwise how could there be such a generous person.

Suldak didn't know how to speak for a while, so he had to organize his words before saying: "Well, it is still cold in the winter of Hailansa City. There have been three heavy snowfalls this winter. It is a very beautiful city. In the mountain city, the people in the city are very enthusiastic, just like Captain Karl..."

He recalled the scene when he came to Hailansa city alone on horseback. Before he could finish describing Hailansa city, Samira, who was walking beside Suldak, stopped, and she put her finger on her lips. Side, lowered his voice to everyone in the team and said:

"Hush! There's a hellhound ahead..."

Everyone in the team stopped chatting in low voices, but followed Samira's footsteps and moved forward.

In fact, Hellhounds are also very unadapted to the extremely dark environment. They will rarely attack the city at night unless there are enough fire lights on the top of the city.

The hellhound is at the fork in front of the cave, and the lava flow burning on it can be seen from a distance. This hellhound is like a moving flame in the dark. However, since it is the only light source in the cave, it cannot see the space outside the surrounding light. It lowers its head and keeps sniffing around with its sensitive nose, and listens with its ears. movement around.

Maybe it has already heard the conversation of Suldak's team, but in this echoing cave, he still needs to carefully identify the source of the sound. It was precisely at this fork in the road that the target suddenly became silent, and the hellhound couldn't help it. Know which way to go.

Suddenly it smelled a strange smell, and it rushed towards the darkness.

Before he could even howl, he was hit on the forehead by a big ax that appeared from the darkness. Before the hellhound whimpered, he fell to the rocky ground.

There was a gap cut out by a sharp ax on its forehead, its brains were cracked, and it died almost instantly.

Even though its head bones were the hardest part of its body, compared to a large ax mixed with magic black iron, it seemed a bit fragile.
