"Looks like the worm really thinks this is a lair. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" After the basket fell, Agatha looked around with the glowing magic stone, frowning, "Did you find Fran?"

"Miss Fran isn't here," Lightning had already checked, "the blackstone tower seems to be stuck in the middle of the cavern, and there is a gap on each side, will she fall on the tower and roll down again?"

The two ends of the diamond-shaped stone tower are embedded in the rock wall, like a bridge in a deep pit, and no one knows how the other party did it. As for the tentacle devil hiding at the bottom of the tower, as well as the hundred-eyed demon, they are gone.

"This thing doesn't affect my ability to use it," the nightingale emerged from the mist.

"But you can't penetrate it like you can through a wall, can you?" Agatha crouched down and summoned a piece of ice to stab at the Blackstone Tower, the ice pick shattered in response, but the surface of the stone tower was unscathed, "Rumor has it that it was made of the Stone of Divine Punishment, and although it no longer interferes with a large area of magic like the Divine Stone Prism, it can still isolate magic. ”

"It's not about making, it's about growing," Elena corrected in a deep voice, "The Demon of Corruption can alter the effect of the veins of the Divine Stone and help it grow into an obe, but only the one born under the red moon has the ability to create a red mist, and the rest is just to keep the red mist from dissipating so quickly - this was a top secret in the Confedera's time, but after the fall of Tachira, Lord Eleanor told us all about it. ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" said Nightingale displeased.

"You didn't tell me there was a devil's spire here," Elena retorted, "there are so many things that can affect magic, how could I have guessed it?" ”

"We'll have to keep going," lightning flew between the two of them, interrupting their confrontation, "and we're still some distance from the bottom of the cave, and I've just tried to fly down a little bit, and I can hear the faint sound of running water—there may be a dark river down there, and Miss Fran might have survived if she did fall from either side of the tower." ”

"Really?" Elena's voice perked, "Could it be that it's because of the Dark River that Sylvie hasn't found any trace of Fran?"

"Chances are," Agatha nodded, "Most of the Eye of Mana is blocked from view by this stone tower, and she will say that she can't see the ground, and if Fran is swept away by the water, she won't be able to find the light of her magic." She turned to Lightning and said, "You fly up and tell Wendy about us, and ask Margie to bring some of the Witches of Punishment down...... And the soldiers of the First Army, let them set up a checkpoint here, and we will continue to explore downward. ”

"Well, leave it to me. The little girl nodded.

......

With the gondolas up and down, and the Magic Ark supporting transportation, they soon had enough people to assemble.

Lightning took advantage of this time to complete the inspection of the space below the Blackstone Tower, and sure enough, as she expected, the vertical pit wall gradually turned inclined after a short time, and the air became more and more humid. After descending thirty or forty meters, a wide underground river appeared in front of her eyes.

The snow that flowed down the walls of the cave gathered into a torrent of water that poured down from the mouth of the cave to form a waterfall, and when she approached it, the little girl could feel the cold air rushing towards her face.

Due to the abundance of water, the pit is covered with all kinds of moss and mushrooms, some of which emit a cold blue light, illuminating the surrounding ground, and the outline of the cave can be seen faintly even without glowing magic stones, and with the fireflies flying around, the whole underground is like another world.

When the witches and the remnants of Tachira fell to the bottom of the cave on the ark, they were all fascinated by what they saw.

"If only these glowing fruits could be planted in Neverwinter," lamented the nightingale, "and then everyone would be able to see the streets at night." ”

"Shall we bring some back then?" Lightning rubbed his hands excitedly, discovering and cultivating new species was also one of the things explorers often did, such as sugar cane and corn, which the fjord explorers picked from other small islands and cultivated step by step to become what they are today. I wonder if these huge mushrooms, as well as the glowing "cattail leaf fruit", will also be as sweet as the bird's snout mushroom?

"Let's get down to business," Agatha counted the numbers, "Maggie, stay and help the First Army set up a checkpoint here, and we'll continue along the Dark River, and if we haven't found Fran more than two kilometers, we'll set up camp for the time being." ”

No one objected, Lightning, Nightingale, and Agatha all had the ability to escape and protect themselves, and the ten Divine Punishment Witches led by Elena were each extraordinary, and their combat power was equivalent to that of the transcendent, and the number was small, but it was already the most elite combination in the united front.

After entering the Dark River Cave, the sound of the water became extremely loud, as if it was roaring close to the ear, and the lightning had to close the distance to hear what everyone was saying.

"Can devouring worms swim in water?" Agatha asked.

"No one has ever tried this," Elena shook her head, "but the worm is so large that I don't think she'd be too far from the pit even if she was pushed forward by the water." ”

"Can you tell where the river is coming from and in which direction?" said another witch of divine punishment, and the little girl remembered that her name seemed to be Zoe.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's facing the direction we are heading into the snowy mountains," replied her from the nightingale, "that is, it should come from the underground veins of the western realm, leading to the hilly region to the south." ”

The lightning couldn't help but be a little strange, it was not surprising that the groundwater resources in His Majesty's territory were abundant, but there was not a decent river over there to the southern end, where did all this water end up?

Suddenly, she saw something trembling on the stone wall not far away.

"Wait, there's going on up ahead!"

With her warning, everyone suddenly stopped and drew their weapons.

"There's no magic reaction," Nightingale quickly confirmed, "but there's something hidden there......" She paused, seemingly two steps closer, "It looks like a semicircle...... Eggs?"

"What?" Agatha was slightly stunned.

"Since you don't have magical powers, you can't pose a threat to us," Elena beckoned to the Witch of Punishment beside her, "Follow me." ”

There were no incidents during the encirclement, and the lightning couldn't help but frown as he looked at the trembling thing up close.

She saw a gray skin glued to the cave wall, which at first glance looked indistinguishable from the surrounding rocks, but when she lifted the glowing magic stone and approached the skin, she could see that it was covered with many air holes, which matched the undulation of the skin, as if she was breathing.

"Hell...... What the hell is this," Elena spat out, "it's disgusting. ”

"If it were an egg, how big would it be to lay its mother," Lightning said, comparing the area of the skin, and found that it was about three meters long and wide, and the bulging part in the center was almost enough to fit a full-grown cow.

"No, this shape ......" Zoe suddenly took a cool breath, she drew her long sword, stabbed it into the skin, and then slammed it upward-

A shrill cry rang out, and a large amount of mucus erupted from the broken "egg", and then a black shadow slipped out of the bulging area, slumping limply to the ground.

Lightning discovers that it is a madman.
