Chapter 1006 Deep in the Cave

Soon, Angel found the dead tree hole mentioned by the couple on the back of the hill.

The tree hole was not obvious under the cover of branches. Moreover, the outside of the tree hole was covered with a thick layer of snow. If the couple had not bumped into a hole when they escaped, it is estimated that the tree hole would still be covered in heavy snow.

No wonder the exploration puppet did not find this place before.

Angel bent down and got into the tree hole. The road in the cave went all the way down, dark and deep.

Not long after entering the cave, Angel walked from the narrow corridor to a very spacious underground cave. There was a pungent smell of sulfur in the underground cave. At the same time, white steam occasionally came out of the cracks in the ground.

In the smoke and mist, Angel vaguely saw a few white shadows. When he explored with his mental power, there was nothing, which was probably the "ghost shadow" rumored by the outside world.

There are many forks in the underground cave, and Angel didn't know where to go for a while. He could only judge the direction they had gone based on the footprints and slight bloodstains left by the couple on the ground.

Following the traces found on the ground, Angel passed through the geothermal area and came to a corridor that exuded a fishy smell.

This corridor was longer than the previous one. Through the light of fluorite, Angel could clearly see messy bloodstains on the side walls of the corridor and on the ground.

When the corridor was close to the exit, Angel heard the sound of water flowing in front of him. At the same time, he also encountered the flying fish monster that the couple had mentioned before, which made them flee in panic.

This flying fish monster has a very strange appearance, with scales like colored glaze, and a slender body like a shuttle belt. The fins on both sides of its body are wide and large, one size larger than Toby's wings. At this time, the fins are constantly swinging up and down, allowing it to maintain flight in the air.

Since Angel entered the Shadow Cave, he has activated the Boundless Silence, so the flying fish monster that was patrolling alone in the corridor did not find Angel.

However, when he wanted to pass by the flying fish monster, the flying fish monster seemed to have noticed something and suddenly shook off a mist around it.

Angel was within the range of the mist, and the flying fish monster immediately found something wrong. The fish eyes, which were originally silver-white, turned scarlet in an instant.

The fish opened its mouth and a thin water arrow rushed towards Angel.

Boundless silence has one bad thing. It eliminates the sense of existence. When it is not discovered, everything is fine. But once it is discovered, it is difficult to hide.

He never expected that this flying fish monster would also spread water mist around to monitor the surrounding movements!

Angel cursed in his heart, then dodged the water arrow. While dodging, Angel also took out a white long sword from his bracelet and chopped at the flying fish monster.

The flying fish monster was slippery and very fast, so it successfully dodged Angel's slash.

However, the main purpose of Angel's sword was not to hit the flying fish monster.

But to hit the water mist!

His sword was a sword with frost magic pattern attached. Its ice-condensing effect was so strong that it could quickly freeze it as long as there was a little liquid around.

The flying fish monster was surrounded by water mist. Although Angel's swordsmanship was not as good as Nausicaa's, which could stably hit the flying fish monster, it was not difficult to hit the water mist.

As the sword passed through the water mist, the erosion of ice went straight to the flying fish monster in the center along the water mist.

Before the flying fish monster launched the second attack, it had frozen into a fish stick and fell from the air with a snap. At this time, it was easy for Angel to kill them.

With a wave of his hand, the frozen flying fish monster was cut in half by him.

The flying fish monsters were a big trouble for the couple apprentices, especially when their numbers increased. But for Angel, he had too many ways to kill them while saving magic power.

Continuing forward, Angel encountered more and more flying fish monsters.

However, no matter how powerful the flying fish monsters were, they were not very intelligent and acted only on instinct. Angel had various alchemical weapons to assist him, so it was very easy to deal with these flying fish monsters.

After leaving the remains of dozens of flying fish monsters on the ground, Angel finally walked out of the corridor.

Outside the corridor was a wider underground cave. As soon as Angel came out, he saw the spacious underground river.

The river was so long that it stretched to an unknown direction.

The low and hoarse sound of the undercurrent, accompanied by the sound of dripping water falling from the rocks above, echoed in the cave constantly, and the empty sound made people feel uneasy.

In addition to water, there are more flying fish monsters flying in the air in the cave. They seem to be resting or cruising. However, when Angel stepped into the cave, the light of fluorite immediately attracted their attention.

When they found that there was an outsider breaking in, thousands of flying fish monsters were like crazy.

They attacked Angel one after another. When the water arrows missed, they rushed over with their sharp bodies.

Angel was still not afraid of such a large number of fish. When he purified the garden, the flying fish schools he dealt with were much more than here, and their strength was also stronger.

Angel directly set up a foggy illusion, and in the foggy illusion, he simulated water arrows to act as a harasser. The flying fish monsters fell into chaos and civil war in suspicion and over-vigilance.

Angel just set up a chessboard, moved a chess piece, and then completely watched from the sidelines.

Not long after, the number of flying fish monsters killing each other in the fog became fewer and fewer.

At this time, Angel took the Frost Sword and began to harvest at a fixed point. Soon, all the flying fish monsters within sight disappeared, and the whole battle did not exceed twenty minutes.

After clearing the flying fish monsters, Angel came to the edge of the underground river.

Under the light, you can see that the water in the underground river is very clear, and you can even see the fish swimming below. A silver light flashed, and Angel rubbed his eyes, and was surprised to find that there was a shrimp-like creature with a faint silver light in the river not far away.

No, not just one.

It was a whole team, at least more than ten.

This kind of shrimp-like creature emitting silver ring light is not unfamiliar to Angel. This is the silver ring that Bobota and others wanted to find before! A kind of gourmet ingredient that has a mysterious effect on men!

Now he understands why the couple ran to the Shadow Cave to find the silver ring. This discovery is a group, each of which costs dozens or even hundreds of magic crystals. The group that Angel saw is at least thousands of magic crystals.

The power of the Misty Silver Rings was almost nothing, so Angell stretched out his magic hand and grabbed the Misty Silver Rings.

Looking at the palm of the magic hand, the more than ten Misty Silver Rings were imprisoned, and Angell couldn't help but sigh.

The abyss is extremely dangerous, but at the same time it is accompanied by unimaginable opportunities. If it is in the wizard world, if you want to earn thousands of magic crystals, wizard apprentices will probably have to struggle for more than ten years.

This is why so many people risk their lives to venture into the abyss.

He picked up a bottle and put the Misty Silver Rings on it and stuffed it into the bracelet.

Angell himself definitely doesn't need the Misty Silver Rings. He thought that after returning to the fortress, he could give some to his mentor and Kant.

Angell walked along the river. According to what the female apprentice said before, the bird song she heard came from the water flow of the underground river.

Therefore, Angel began to move against the flow of water. The river was very long and the cave was very large. Angel encountered many flying fish monsters along the way, and their density was beyond his imagination.

"Will Toby really be ahead?" After killing another group of flying fish monsters, Angel was puzzled.

However, this question was soon answered.

It was not that Angel found Toby's trace, but that he found the body of a dead strange monster.

This monster was a crab carrying anemones, taller than an adult, and even more huge. The monster was dead, but Angel vaguely felt the traces of gravity veins on the monster, which showed that this monster was probably killed by Toby, and it had been dead for no more than a day.

It seemed that the female apprentice did not lie, and Toby really might be in the depths of the Shadow Cave.

Angel guessed that Toby must have found that the river was frozen outside, and it was not easy to catch fish. Later, he accidentally discovered the underground river in the Shadow Cave, and found that there were many fish here, so he ate everything.

And Angel had called Toby through the signal in the fortress before, and the answer that he did not respond also surfaced-how could he receive the signal in the Shadow Cave?

Angel breathed a sigh of relief.

Although there were some monsters near the underground river, such as flying fish monsters or crab monsters, these monsters posed almost no threat to Toby.

Although Toby was not necessarily in danger, just in case, Angel still quickened his pace and moved deeper into the cave.

Not long after walking, Angel followed the river and passed through a narrow gap, and then he came to another vast underground space.

As soon as he arrived in this space, Angel found something strange.

The mood suddenly became a little depressed, as if something was oppressing the heart, making people feel inexplicably heavy.

Moreover, the fishy smell in the air was even stronger.

This smell is not the smell of water in the river, but a mixture of blood and the smell of some reptiles.

This feeling is very similar to the smell that Angel smelled in the cave of Axo when he left Pocrates.

"Snake monster?" Angel wondered in his heart.

He walked towards the center of the cave. There were obvious striped crawling marks on the ground, and the smell in the marks was stronger.

If nothing unexpected happens, there are really snakes here, and judging from the size of the marks, the snake is not small.

Not only is it not small, Angel found quite a few snake marks in this cave. This means that there may be more than one snake here.

Could this be a snake nest?

When Angel was thinking, a subtle sound suddenly came into his ears.

"Jigu——"
