Chapter 9: Into the Cave
Lunch time ends with the dwarf's revelations about Henry's childhood. Kitty looked at Henry with a smile on her face. Just now, the dwarf told him about the glorious history of him going to the house to block the chimney at the age of three and setting fire to his hair at the age of five. Judging by the level of proficiency, it is clear that this is not the first time.
Henry felt that his face was a little hot, and the work experience of crawling in society for more than ten years was obviously not enough to cope with the current situation. Being stared at by a female druid is a bit weak. After dinner, the spelunkers packed their bags and returned the wagon to the old man as they passed by Brown Farm. The goods on the cart were also stored in the barn.
The sun was just after noon, and the three of them came to the entrance of the cave. The entrails of the insects that were disposed of yesterday were thrown into a pit and buried. But there's always a strange smell around. Cagan found a tree and tied it to a rope and climbed down the cave, followed by Kitty, Henry's last man.
"From now on, it is forbidden to speak, it is forbidden to make sounds, and all communication is in sign language. Try to move as gently as possible. Don't give bugs any chance to spot us. "After descending into the cave, Henry set the main tone for this operation, which was to infiltrate secretly. After the other two nodded in understanding, the light technique was blessed to each person's weapon. The Jedi Worm has zero vision, so it's okay to bless more. Although the Half-Elf Lady has night vision, the light still brings a lot of security to those who live on the surface.
After entering the cave, the female druid walked in the front, Cagan followed, and Henry was in the back. Slowly start exploring the depths. About ten meters or so, the cave forked. On the left is a circular hall with a lot of white eggs in the secret. Kitty turned her head and mouth-shaped to tell the two people behind her that the hatchery was full of burrowing eggs. Then the group walked to the right and continued on their way.
After advancing more than 40 meters, the cave suddenly opened up, and everyone found that it was like entering a hall. The ground was littered with bones and corpses of humans and other animals. The adventurer's armor and weapons were thrown everywhere. Henry also found a pile of gold coins in a corner. This is supposed to be where the bugs store and feed. After the three of them exchanged lip syncs, they decided to kill all the insects inside before sorting out these things.
After passing through the hall, the path to the deepest part began to get narrower and narrower, and after a few minutes it came to an end. Kitty's pupils contracted rapidly when she saw the sight in front of her, and five huge bugs lay on the ground. The largest of them has a third of the jaws larger than the others, and the color of its body is no longer ordinary green, but dark green.
This is no ordinary digging bug anymore. Normal Jedi insects can only spew acid once every six hours, but now the one in front of him has clearly evolved into a king worm that can spray acid multiple times. Thankfully, it's sleeping now. The two people in the back also noticed the bug's anomaly.
The three of them slowly retreated in a very tacit understanding, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they retreated to the food storage room. "What to do, that insect king is obviously not easy to deal with. The passage was so narrow that there was no way to avoid the acid spraying in. Kitty asked softly. It's far enough from inside to speak softly.
"Let's concentrate the toxin to kill it first, and now there are three javelins that are immediately impregnated with poison. After a while I signaled and threw it at his jaw. Then he drank the speed potion and quickly retreated here to prepare spells for frontal combat. Henry immediately devised a workable battle plan. The dwarf immediately agreed.
"Well, there's no other way to do it. Now start drenching the gun head. The female druid took the javelin off her back, took a deep breath, held her breath, opened the bottle of poison, and poured it evenly on the head of the spear. Henry and Cagan also learned to start smearing poison.
Coming back to the entrance of the Worm King's cave, the three of them looked at each other and opened the speed potion and drank it. It is a powerful potion that allows a person to have double movement speed, attack speed, and spell release speed for thirty seconds. After drinking the potion, Henry quickly raised the javelin and began the countdown with his fingers. Three, two, one.
"Whoosh, whoosh" The sound of javelins streaking through the air woke the bugs. The insect king stood up vigilantly, and "poof" three javelins stabbed the soft abdomen. "Squeak, squeak, squeak." The pain was so intense that it let out a scream. Several other bugs also woke up and crawled in the direction of the crowd. "Run," Henry shouted, and he was the first to enter the passage. The dwarves and druids also noticed that the situation was not good, and turned around and began to run wildly.
Henry ran into the hall first, then took a deep breath and began to prepare to chant the spell. As soon as the spell was ready, the dwarves and druids behind also ran in. "Greasy" grease immediately covered the entrance to the hall. Cagan picked up his shield and axe and stared at the tunnel. The female druid also began to chant and entered a state of concentration for spellcasting. After successfully casting the greasy spell, Henry began to chant the next spell.
Before the second spell was completed, the insects on the side rushed out of the tunnel, and the green and blackened insect king at the front was at the front. "Bang" The Worm King's huge body slipped and fell to the ground and tripped over the other bugs that came out of his tracks. The second spell of "Entanglement" was immediately released, and countless weeds grew on the greasy ground, firmly binding the long, pointed legs of the digging insects.
Henry was slightly taken aback when he found that Kitty's spell had not yet been completed. At least a level 4 divine skill. The higher the level of spells and divine spells, the more powerful they are, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the longer the chanting, the more interpretation gestures there are.
The spell of the "Ice Storm" half-elf lady is finally complete. A huge hail of magic fell within ten meters of her. "Damn, you should have reminded us." The dwarf, who had almost been smashed, let out a loud cry and quickly retreated. Henry stood relatively late and survived. The Bug Gate that was trapped in place was not so lucky. Huge ice cubes hit the bug's slender legs. The sound of breaking is endless.
After the ice, Henry began to prepare spells again, and before the insects could finish feeling the cold, a flaming hand brought them into the sky of ice and fire. The grease and weeds were all set on fire. The two bugs began to struggle to their feet. Squirted acid at Cagan. The dwarf blocked the jet with his shield, and after seeing the shield being rapidly corroded, the dwarf decisively chose to discard it.
Kitty discovers that the bugs still have the ability to fight back, and begins to chant spells again. The insect king suddenly stood up and rushed towards the half-elf who was preparing to explain the law. Cagan found that the bad was directly in the way of the Worm King. The massive jaw caught the dwarf, and Cagan struggled to avoid the bug's head, but his leg was stabbed by a sharp foot. "Ah, you damn worm. Let you see the power of the dwarven warriors. Cagan picked up his axe and slashed the leg of the worm that had stabbed him and rolled to the side. The insect king, who was missing a leg, lost his balance and fell to the ground. Black poisonous blood began to flow from its chest. The toxins are starting to kick in.
Kitty's spell is complete, and it's another level four spell level 1 summoning animal. Two huge wolves were summoned. Let out a low roar. The simple command of "Shang" made the hungry wolf start besieging the insects that were not yet dead. Henry saw that the dwarf was injured and hurriedly walked over, "Cagan, it's okay. ”
"It's good that it just penetrated the muscles and didn't hurt the bones." The old dwarf's lips trembled in pain.
"Bear with me, I'll pull it out." As he spoke, he tore a piece of cloth from his clothes and handed it to Cagan for him to bite into to prevent his tongue from biting.
"One, two, three." Heng pulled it out with his strength. "Ahh At this time, the female druid also came over, and used magic to create some water and simply clean the wound. Performed a healing medium damage, and the large wound quickly became smaller. The dwarf took out a bottle of potion that Henry had given him a few days ago to heal minor injuries and drank it, and the wound was completely healed. It's just that the face is pale and there is too much blood loss.
"Xie Lu, thank you for saving me just now." Kitty was touched by the dwarven warriors' relentlessness.
Cagan smiled heartily and said, "Haluha, I just did what a warrior does, but that damn bug almost killed me." Are they all dead? ”
"They're all dead, don't you see that the summoned wolves have stopped attacking?" Henry said, pointing to two wolves with mouths full of green juice and doing nothing.
"Then let's take an inventory of the valuable things in this hall." Cagan stood up with that. Start picking and picking around. "What an old money fan." The half-elf expressed dissatisfaction with Cagan's approach of asking for money rather than his life. It didn't take long for the other two men to start searching the entire hall as well, finding and stacking valuable things together.
After twenty minutes of hard work, everyone gathered together what they had found. There are about 600 gold coins in cash, two magic scrolls, level 3 spells, berserk charm, and spirit armor. A magic potion has been identified as a powerful potion that can temporarily increase the amount of power to 23 when drunk. A piece of magic chain mail is stronger than a normal one and is less prone to wear and tear. A magic dagger is harder and sharper than a normal dagger. At the end of the line was a staff, a powerful fireball staff, although there were only seven shots left in it.
After a brief discussion, Henry was given two scrolls and a fireball staff, and Cagan was given a chainmail dagger and a magic potion, and the gold was split equally between the two men. Kitty didn't take anything. The other two said that they would be exempted from the 2,000 gold reward at the end of the mission. Everyone was happy. After the distribution, the people peeled off the shells of the insects, tied them up with ropes, and dragged them back to the ground.
After dropping the two off at the door of Brown's farmstead, the half-elf druids said goodbye to Henry and Cagan before turning away. Pushing open the door of Brown's house, I saw that the old man had just made dinner. A large pot of stewed chicken, a few smoked fish. There are also mashed potatoes and a small pot of bread from the big names.
"It's so fragrant, I'm starving to death. Brown: You don't know how bad we ate at noon. That elf only gave us fruit at noon. The dwarf drooled as he began to complain about the bleakness of his lunch.
"Oh my God, what is that?" Old Brown was startled by the huge head thrown in the doorway.
"King of the Diggers, Cagan was almost killed by this guy today." Henry briefly explained to Old Brown and went to the dining table to begin eating. ———————————————————————————————
