Chapter 195 The Killer in the Cave
With Bai Hua, the guide who had infiltrated the enemy camp, the group passed through the meadow layer like a picnic. Along the way, they also encountered other people who were besieged by demons, but they did not take action.
Since they chose to come to Tianshan to search for treasure, they must be prepared for death. They could not save everyone.
"Brother Bai Hua, are you okay?" Ling Ling looked at Bai Hua with some worry. They encountered many demons along the way, but they were all comforted by Bai Hua.
"I'm fine. The desert layer is ahead. Let's hurry up. Today we will try to camp at the junction of the desert layer and the mountain layer." Bai Hua rubbed his temples. Are these plants crazy? Why are they so hostile to outsiders?
All the demons they encountered were parasitized and controlled by plants, and they attacked humans crazily. Bai Hua even saw a commander-level tree demon personally kill several hunters.
This is obviously abnormal. If the plant demons in the meadow layer have been so crazy, they would have been discovered long ago. It is impossible that there is no news from the outside world.
Moreover, they couldn't fight at all. Once they fought with these demons, the subsequent battles would probably be endless. He could only negotiate with these plant demons to borrow the road.
Compared with the vibrant meadow layer, the desert layer is just like its name, an area full of stone and soil.
Mudslides often occur here, and plants can't grow at all, but the strength of the demons has increased by more than one level.
"It is said that there is a spider cave on the only way to a higher place from the desert layer, but I haven't encountered it before." Zhan Kong reminded. When he was alone before, he rushed through the first two layers directly, so he was beaten back by the monarch demon in the mountain layer.
"Spider cave, is it the one in front?" Mo Fan looked at the dark cave in front, which seemed to hide countless demons. With the previous lesson, he didn't dare to act rashly.
"It should be, there are a lot of demon feces in the soil, everyone be careful." Lingling carefully observed the ground under his feet. The feces were still fresh, indicating that the demon was in this cave.
But Bai Hua's mental scan range didn't seem to find any breath of living creatures, which was not a good thing. It only meant that the demons here were so good at hiding that he couldn't find them. Of course, there was also the reason that Bai Hua's mental power was consumed too much in the meadow layer.
"Come out, street lamp grass." There was no light mage in the team, so Bai Hua could only take over the task of lighting.
Mo Fan was responsible for opening the way, Bai Hua was the last, and the strongest Zhan Kong was in the middle to support and protect the two girls at the same time. The five people entered the cave with the dim light of the street lamp grass, carefully guarding against the demon's sneak attack.
"It's so quiet, there are no demons in the cave, which is really different from the meadow layer full of demons." Mo Fan saw that he had walked for a long time and didn't find a demon, so he began to set a flag unconsciously.
Mo Fan, what are you doing, Mo Fan, this statement made Bai Hua suspect that he would fall to the ground and sing the flower of hope in the next moment.
"Mo Fan, be careful in front of you." As Bai Hua's voice sounded, a spider leg like a spear stretched out from the wall, aiming directly at Mo Fan in front of the team.
It actually has camouflage colors, which can completely blend into the environment of the cave. Even Bai Hua could only find the abnormality just before these patient killers attacked.
"Little demon has no martial ethics. You dare to sneak attack your grandpa Mo Fan. Telekinesis, virtual claw." Mo Fan did not find any trace of the demon at all. Fortunately, Bai Hua's reminder made him subconsciously use virtual claws to block in front of him, avoiding the fate of being pierced by the spider's legs, but his arm was still scratched by the spider.
The sneak attacking spider wanted to retreat to the wall when it failed to hit it, but Mo Fan was not willing to let it go.
"You want to run after hurting your grandpa, Fiery Fist... Why is it so painful?" Mo Fan was halfway through drawing the star map when he was suddenly interrupted by a sharp pain in his arm. He looked down and saw that black blood had already come out of the wound.
"This is a desert bone-eating spider. It is highly poisonous, has a strong camouflage ability, and does not leave any sound when it moves." Bai Hua remembered the type of enemy and quickly summoned coffee beans to help Mo Fan detoxify.
"Ice, Ice Lock, Pierce!" Mu Ningxue was also attacked by the desert bone-eating spider, but with the previous experience, she completed the star map in time and killed the spider that attacked her in one blow. Seeing this, the other few who had just appeared quickly hid. Mu Ningxue glanced at them, but could not find the enemy.
"They are up there." Lingling, who is familiar with the habits of demons, reminded.
Everyone looked up and found that there were hundreds of desert bone-eating spiders staring at them on the wall of the cave, but they did not rush forward like ordinary demons. Instead, they showed their faces and hid again, as if they were patiently waiting for their prey to reveal flaws.
The five of them did not dare to act rashly. The concealment ability of these desert bone-eating spiders was too strong. It was difficult to find them even if they walked in front of them, and it was impossible to attack them actively. These demons were completely integrated into the environment. They would have to destroy the walls of the cave together.
"They seem to be stalling for time." Bai Hua found something wrong. These desert bone-eating spiders were not in a hurry to attack them, but blocked their advance, as if they were waiting for something, but he couldn't remember it.
"It's a mudslide, they are waiting for the mudslide." Ling Ling heard this and quickly guessed the truth, but this truth was a little creepy.
The concealment ability of these demons is terrifying enough, but they would also use the power of nature to hunt. The mudslides in Tianshan are not something they can resist.
"Want to stop us? Then taste my flames, Sky Flame Funeral, Rain of Flames!" Mo Fan completed the Fire Constellation under the protection of his teammates. Countless fireballs hit the top of the cave, but these cunning hunters avoided the attack with the help of the complex terrain. Mo Fan didn't kill many of them with a high-level magic.
"Let me do it, domain expansion." Bai Hua opened the domain, and his perception was greatly enhanced. These desert bone-eating spiders were instantly invisible in his eyes.
In addition, before he came to Tianshan this time, in addition to the bamboo shoot fighter, he also bought a good thing. Special skill: Like a pillar (intermediate level), this skill cost him 100,000 gold coins, which is equivalent to several commander spirits, and it put him on the verge of bankruptcy in one wave.
Of course, this price is completely acceptable. Now he can summon five mid-level plants with one star map, and the speed of spreading the field has been greatly improved. In most cases, there is no need to prepare in advance.
A large number of cattails appeared in Bai Hua's territory, and countless lightning spikes that accurately searched for enemies hit these desert bone-eating spiders. Even if you have a hundred kinds of body skills, I have a headlock to break them.
These guys belong to the standard assassin points, high attack and high agility, but they are extremely fragile and were slaughtered in batches.
Desert bone-eating spider: Coach, I report that someone is cheating.
Bai Hua: These are all my efforts and persistence, and I carried my bag on my back.
