Section 1007 Serpent's Cave
Although the voice was extremely small and unconsciously muttered, Angel stopped as if he had been electrocuted.
He won't admit it, it's definitely Toby's voice!
Toby is nearby!
Before Ingres' excitement could rise from the depths of his heart, he was bewildered by the meaning of the soft chirp.
The whispered "chirping" before, in fact, didn't have any specific meaning to Angel, and there was even a feeling that Toby was talking "in a dream". But this voice made Ingres feel strange in his heart.
Depressed and weak, like Toby in a dream...... Distress!
Thinking of this, Angel suddenly felt a sense of unease!
He immediately ran in the direction of the source of the sound he had heard earlier, and the more he ran, the more fishy the smell in the air became. There was a strong sense of unease, like some kind of creeping beast, grinning its fangs, snooping on him in the darkness with its cold vertical pupils, and ready to strike at any moment.
"Trumble—"
Angel heard Toby's voice again, still whispering.
It's just ahead! As Ingres ran wildly, he was also vigilant, ready to fight the "monsters" lurking in the darkness around him at any time.
Suddenly, a hissing sound came from ahead.
Angel stopped in an instant, and as the fluorite lifted, the scene in front of him made his pupils shrink.
Before, he wondered how he didn't see a single snake when there were traces of snakes crawling on the ground. Only now did he know where all the snakes had gone—
The road ahead is full of snakes!
Countless snakes, bright or dark, large or small, thick or thin, crawled densely in front of them, and they were entangled and intertwined, covering the road completely.
It is a snake path made up of countless snakes, intertwined.
The arrival of Angel made all the snakes turn their heads, and the originally silent path sounded countless "hiss" sounds in an instant, like a fingernail cutting through a smooth porcelain wall, which made the back chill and very uncomfortable.
The snake arched its upper body in an attacking shape, revealing the more vivid lines on its body, and they intertwined with each other, as if forming a gorgeous "door".
It seems to warn outsiders: Do not enter!
Although these snakes look very threatening, they actually have the same level of energy in their bodies as the flying fish monsters they encountered before. In other words, they are at best beginners, and mortals have a chance to kill them.
For this group of monsters, Angel was still not afraid, and rushed over directly.
He had intended to use the "Mist" trick against the Flying Fish Monsters, but this trick was of little use to the snakes, who did not use their eyes to hunt for their prey.
Moreover, these snakes are completely unaffected in the misty illusion, and each has its own magical powers, some feel the smell through the snake letter, some sense the temperature of living creatures through the cheek socket, and even feel the vibration through the jaw touching the ground!
They have no chance of killing the wrong ally, and even in the Misty Illusion, the serpent is extremely accurate in positioning Angel.
Since the Misty Illusion couldn't deal with this group of snakes, Angels simply set it on fire.
Flame Array Phantom Kill!
The raging flames instantly enveloped the snakes!
At the same time, a little white mist sprouted from Angle's fingertips—Nightmare Fear Technique!
As soon as the two tricks were superimposed, the group of snakes immediately became chaotic, and the snakes that were intertwined before began to scatter one after another, and at the same time, in order to avoid being burned, they all drilled into the underground river.
It's just that if you want to extinguish the fire of the flame array, ordinary water can't do it at all.
In an instant, the snake that stood in the way before was gone. Angel is too lazy to chase and kill, and now it is most important to find Toby, who is suspected of sending a "distress" signal.
Ignoring the scattered fleeing snakes, Ingres sped towards the end of the road.
Darkness and fishiness have always accompanied Ingres. Fire and fear have become the main theme of this path.
Soon, Ingres ran to the end of the road, but there was nothing but a natural wall of earth and rock...... Angel was sure that it was in this direction that he had heard Toby's voice before. But the road came to an end, but it couldn't continue, which made Angel start to look at his surroundings.
Eventually, he set his sights on the underground waterways.
Although the road on the shore has come to an end, the river channel is not. Without saying a word, Angel turned on the purification field and jumped into the dark river.
Still going upstream, Ingres walked through the river, and the road without a bank around was not too far, about ten meters, Ingres emerged from the river.
There was a huge cave again, and when Ingres climbed ashore, he suddenly felt an alertness in his heart.
Something isn't quite right here.
At the beginning, in the cave where Angel found snake marks, Ingres felt a strange sense of depression, and his mood was inexplicably depressed, as if there was something heavy in his heart.
Before, on that path, he was only concerned with following Toby's voice and dealing with the predators in the shadows, but he ignored the feelings in his heart.
But when I got here, the feeling of suffocation came back again, and it was even more serious.
This kind of suffocation is not a physical discomfort, but more like a psychological disturbance affected by emotions.
Angles cautiously pressed against the wall, exploring the cave, and as he entered a corner, he saw several richly patterned snakes entwined together.
The atmosphere around him was inexplicably solemn, and Ingres did not start a war as rashly as before, but restrained his breath, and even completely shielded his body heat and bypassed it from the other side.
Rounding several snake piles in a row, Ingres found a path that wound upward.
As he walked up the road, Ingres's mood became more and more uncomfortable, but he had a faint feeling that Toby seemed to be not far away......
As Ingres walked around the road to the top, Ingres' eyes lit up.
He saw it!
Toby is right in the middle of the cave wall opposite!
However, it is not in very good shape at this time...... Toby was surrounded by a few fluorites that lit up the scene. Some brightly colored snakes were surrounding it, spitting snake letters, and they were obviously threatening Toby.
But Toby, its eyes were half-closed and half-closed, and it looked drowsy.
The reason why he can resist the prying eyes of the surrounding snakes is all because Toby has a thin layer of gray aura around his body, and every time a snake approaches, that breath will turn the snake into bloody mud, so no snake dares to approach.
That's the gravitational vein, but it seems to have been consumed a lot, and there is a tendency to get weaker and weaker.
Once the gravitational veins are depleted, Toby will inevitably be besieged by the snakes.
Ingres didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately prepared to fly over the dark moat to the other side of the mountain wall to take Toby away. However, just as he was about to fly, he saw a rustling sound from below the cliff wall, and a black shadow seemed to flash by.
If it weren't for Ingres' previous inadvertent glimpse of the cliff, he wouldn't have noticed that there seemed to be something below.
He hesitated for a moment, leaned against a dark corner, and watched secretly.
After a while, the dark shadow finally revealed its true face. When Angels saw it clearly, a look of shock flashed in his eyes.
It was a giant serpent that was no less in size than Axol!
The rock wall where Toby was located seemed to be the lair of the giant serpent, and its massive body was wrapping around the pinnacle opposite, moving slowly...... The huge triangular head alone is the height of an adult, which shows how terrifying the body hidden in the darkness can be.
Angel couldn't sense how strong this snake was, but judging by its size and the inexplicable fluctuations emanating from its body, it was definitely not weak.
The strange sense of grievance that Ingres had been feeling before was emanating from this giant snake.
It's like a kind of "domain field".
At one point, Ingres even had the idea of retreating.
The idea of "Or, go back and tell the mentor and let Sanders save Toby......" just came to mind, like a torrent, rushed into Ingres's heart.
This torrent was not Ingres' intention, but a torrent of fear.
However, when Angel saw the fainter and weaker gravitational veins around Toby's body, he knew in his heart that once he returned to the fortress for help, it would be tantamount to giving up Toby's chance to "live".
The couple apprentice I met earlier, the female apprentice didn't go deep into here, and she heard Toby's voice, which shows that Toby's situation was not bad at that time.
But it was only half an hour, and when Angel arrived, Toby's voice was so weak that he could only whisper for help.
"There's no time to go back. Angel suppressed the fear of the "unknown" in his heart and silently analyzed the situation on the scene.
It's not that it can't be saved.
Although the snake did not exude coercion, since Ingres wanted to save Toby, he naturally planned for the worst-case scenario.
Suppose, that snake's strength is higher than that of a wizard.
Once it discovers itself, it will surely unleash coercion.
However, as long as he is fast enough, so fast that his reaction speed can't keep up, and so fast that the coercion can't catch up with him, then he can run out with Toby.
That is, he only has one chance...... You have to run the gravitational veins at full speed to carry Toby away from the mountain wall, and before he can react, he must quickly turn back from here and escape from the ascension.
The plan looks simple, but it's still uncertain.
Will he be able to rescue Toby before the giant snake reacts? Also, will the "domain field" that exists around this giant snake affect him?
Angel faintly felt in his heart that the "domain field" was definitely very troublesome, otherwise, with Toby's strength, the ability to rely on the gravitational vein should be able to escape without being in danger.
Of course, it is also possible that the snake forced Toby to stay here through some kind of coercion.
Even if the "domain field" really affects him, he must be desperate.
However, Ingres is not a reckless man, he is betting on one thing......
