The dark passages were dim and narrow, large enough to accommodate only one person, and those who were slightly taller had to bow their heads to pass through. But right now, people don't care about these little things. Led by Nadia, they galloped forward, following the dark and narrow passages to the depths of the cavern.

As Nadia had expected, they were attacked several times along the way. Like the others, those monsters reverted to their human form after death. It can be seen that most of them are believers, and occasionally a few women. This is probably the group of people who fled to the secret passage when the mutation occurred. It's just that in terms of numbers, there are not many of these people. Therefore, it can be concluded that this is not a family, but more like a group.

But at the moment, everyone was in no mood to care about these little things, and these monsters couldn't stop them at all, and there was no way to stop them from moving on. At Jenn's prompting, the others also found a way to deal with these monsters -- although they couldn't tell if the other party would blow themselves up because of the myriad of monsters, as long as they froze, there would be no problem. As a result, the high-ranking mages quickly attached a layer of Ice Blade spells to their weapons, so that they could freeze the monsters as they attacked them. And they themselves can use similar spells, as for those paladins, they are walking in front and acting as a meat shield, anyway, they have the protection of divine power, so they are not so easily injured.

The path beneath your feet grew steeper and steeper, and the secret passage that had been running forward began to rotate downward, and it looked like it had once been an underground river, and the water had washed down to create such a smooth passage. Of course. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been standing unsteadily in such a place for a long time. But for this group of elites. As long as it's not for them to jump disco on a cliff at a vertical ninety degree, there's no pressure.

But danger remains everywhere.

"Squeak!!"

Just as everyone turned the corner along the secret passage. Suddenly there was a scream, and the next moment a monster that looked like a humanoid spider screamed and jumped from the ceiling. Its body is still in human form, but its hands and feet are arthropod-like, and its head looks more like an insect like a bee, which is disgusting to look at. I saw that it pounced without hesitation, opened its sizzling breath, revealed the sharp teeth inside, and rushed towards its prey with trembling.

"Abominable monster!!"

Looking at the monster that pounced on her, Nadia roared. Raised the shield in her hand to resist, and the next moment, with her movements, an even larger golden shield appeared out of thin air, blocking the humanoid spider and knocking it back. I saw that the monster slammed into the stone wall like this, and even shook off a lot of dust for a while. The monster seemed to be blindfolded, and it shook its head, opened its mouth and screamed at Nadia, and then saw a series of vibrating invisible sound waves erupt from its mouth. Attacked the girl in front of him.

Nadia's reaction to the monster's surprise attack was also a step slower -- not surprising, after all, when you're facing each monster with different abilities and traits at the same time, it's hard to really react in the shortest amount of time. The original shield of protection was shattered by the attack of ultrasound. Immediately after that, Nadia felt a heavy blow to her shield, and she screamed and fell backwards.

But at this time. Nadia felt a palm press against her back, helping her regain her balance. She looked up in surprise. I saw Jenn quietly walk out from the side, and then the long sword in his hand flashed coldly. The azure light roared forward with a series of fierce cold winds. But what everyone didn't expect was that in the face of Jenn's attack, the monster suddenly screamed, and then its figure flashed, and it was able to dodge Jenn's attack, and then disappeared into the dark and dim depths of the corridor.

"Huh?"

Seeing this scene, Jenn was also stunned. You must know that although he only used seventy percent of his strength in the blow just now, it is not a problem to deal with ordinary monsters at all. And the monster in front of him not only dodged his own attack, but also ran away? Not only that, when Jenn tried to contact its mind manipulation monster, he found that the other party's brain was chaotic, even a little complicated, and it could be seen that although it was transformed into a chaos monster, it still retained a part of its consciousness.

This is not an ordinary transformation, it may even be the existence of a legendary realm - could it be that he was once a paladin chief before?

Thinking of this, Jenn frowned, this is not completely unreasonable, the people of the Ice City must have all died. According to Enoa's previous report, they did not find any corpses in the temple of the goddess of water, indicating that the other party had been transferred as soon as the mutation began. However, this is useless, and the earth can only weaken the spiritual pollution of the [Eternal Night Skycanopy], but cannot completely isolate it. In this case, even if these people are hiding here, they should go crazy for so long, and they should die and die. It wouldn't be surprising if there were the likes of the Archbishop and the Paladin.

But alas, Enoa was not by his side, otherwise Jenn would have chased after him to kill the monster and search for information from his corpse. He was sure that the upper echelons of the temple here would definitely know what kind of secret the girl had, although Jenn himself had vaguely made a judgment about it at this moment, but until there was tangible evidence, these were only judgments after all.

"That monster is so powerful?"

The thought had only been in Jenn's mind for a moment, and at this moment, Carter had already come to his side, frowning and asking. He was very experienced in this area, and he could see at a glance that it was not a fluke that the monster was able to escape Jenn's attack, and if it didn't count the strange appearance, this monster was not weak in terms of strength alone.

"It's kind of amazing."

In the face of Carter's inquiry, Jenn also nodded.

"If that's also a monster transformed by humans, then he at least has the strength of a knight chief."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Carter raised his eyebrows, then clenched his axe, it was obvious that he understood the hidden meaning of Jenn's words.

On the contrary, Barty in the back was out of breath, stumbling to follow everyone, this alchemist's physical strength is really worrying, if it weren't for the adventurer next to him dragging him, I'm afraid this would have been rolled down the cave by Barty.

But at this moment, everyone has also reached the end of the secret passage.

At the end of the darkness, there was a glimmer of light.

When everyone walked out of the secret passage and looked up, they couldn't help but be stunned -- they saw that in front of them was a huge, incomparably wide underground cavern, the size of two football fields, and there were many stalactite pillars everywhere. In the distance, they saw a waterfall cascading down the cave wall, making a rattling sound, forming a stream and a pond here. Glowing nocturnal plants grow on the cave walls, and gigantic mushrooms merge with eerie underground plants to create a magnificent landscape.

"This is ............"

Seeing this scene, many people were silent, and it is no wonder that most of them came to the ground for the first time, and looking at the beautiful and strange scenery in front of them can be regarded as the first experience in their lives. Soon, however, they regained their composure and began to look around. Judging from the rudimentary man-made path on the ground and the wreckage that surrounds it, it must have been developed by someone, but now, the only thing left of this place is a ruin.

"No one ............ here"

Looking at the grass in front of him, Carter frowned. In the image of the Water Mirror, the girl they saw was indeed here. But now, the girl has disappeared without a trace. Although there were signs of people in the grass, for now, it was empty. He reached out, touched it gently, and shook his head.

"It's been a long time since I've been away, and I'm not around here for the time being, and of course, it's possible that someone has taken ........."

With that, Carter glanced at Nadia.

"Nadia Paladin, what are we going to do next?"

"I suggest we split up."

In the face of Carter's inquiry, Nadia hesitated for a moment, and finally gave an answer.

"It's not a big place, I don't think a child can run too far, let's split up in two ways, one with Mr. Carter and the other with Mr. Jenn, both of whom have experience in fighting and adventuring in the dark regions, and should know more about the situation here than we do, and if anything happens, it's good to have a response. And we don't know if there are any other monsters hiding in there, so we'd better be careful. ”

"Okay, no problem."

Hearing Nadia's suggestion, Carter nodded, and then he turned around and beckoned to the adventurers behind him.

"All right, boys, you all heard, come with me. Better another mage and cleric, and that guy from Noan......... Hey? Where did that guy go? ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, turned their heads and looked around, only to find that the half-elf killer had disappeared without a trace without knowing when. In the face of Carter's inquiry, they also looked at each other and were confused. All they remember was that the Half-Elf Killer was still behind them when they entered the secret passage, but now ............... Where is he? (To be continued......)
