In this way, through the guidance of Sun Qi, Zhao Lu, and Zhang Shan.
The exploration team of eight people, plus six people from Su Ru and Su Mo, a total of seventeen people, continued to advance cautiously in this winding and dark cave.
As the team went deeper, under the light of the light crystal, Lei Xiao noticed the occasional traces of dried blood on the surrounding cave walls.
At this time, the rancid smell permeating the air became more obvious, and at the same time, it was also mixed with a strange aroma similar to mint.
Moreover, the cave that was spacious at the beginning gradually became narrower, but the number of forks in the road increased significantly.
The most important thing is that the bones of many other magical beasts have appeared on the uneven soil.
"Lord, we have entered the core area of this trap cave." At this time, the ice magician Xue Ya, who was closely following Lei Xiao, whispered again.
I could see that her exposed slender hands were faintly exuding a cold air. It seemed that she was ready to release attack magic at any time.
Immediately afterwards, Xue Ya, who had her silky waist-length hair completely coiled in her hood, continued: "The reason why those sharp-edged earth beasts dug this cave so complicatedly just now.
This is to make it difficult for other monsters that stray into it to find their way out, making it easier for them to hunt.
The strange aroma permeating the air is also one of the special skills of the sharp-edged ground beasts. The purpose is to cover up the smell of other monsters remaining in the cave and further disrupt the sense of direction of these prey."
"So that's it. There are really all kinds of wonders in the world."
After slightly nodding, Lei Xiao couldn't help but sigh: "Speaking of which, Xue Ya, I didn't expect that you are not only extremely proficient in alchemy, but also know all about these magical beasts."
"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. Since my subordinate is in the high school of the Royal Academy of Nobles, the final assessment of his last year was to clear out the lair of a sharp-edged earth beast, so this is so clear."
Hearing this, Xue Ya's cold face suddenly bloomed with a smile that looked like a snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains, and she said a little shyly.
"Lord, my subordinates also remember that graduation assessment."
On the other side, Faxia, who had never had a chance to show off, also came up and said: "At that time, the Iceberg Girl was freezing several sharp-edged earth beasts.
They also froze the two academy instructors behind them into ice sculptures, so that it took a full month of treatment for those two poor instructors to fully recover!"
"Irritated girl, why are you everywhere?"
Frowning her eyebrows slightly, Xue Ya immediately retorted: "I was just a little nervous at that time. After all, I haven't broken through the third level yet.
At that time, you also injured several classmates nearby, including a son of a duke.
In the end, not only did the family lose a large amount of gold dragon, but as the earl's father, he also made a special trip to the castle to pay compensation, didn't he?
So much so that when I was promoted to the elite class, almost no one except Lin dared to take the assessment with you..."
"Fortunately, I haven't had any contact with these two people when I was a student."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao, who was surrounded by two women, couldn't help but shudder and refocused his attention on the dark cave in front of him.
In this way, after passing through a complex area like a maze, the narrow cave became spacious again.
It seems that this location has reached the second half of the cave, which is the area where the sharp-edged earth beast itself lives.
"Boss Chensha, the three of us and our people met those scary guys just now at the corner ahead."
Zhao Lu, who was walking at the front, was seen walking slowly. He wiped the cold sweat from his head, turned around and said, obviously still feeling a little frightened.
"Go to the back and rest for a while." Lei Xiao waved his hand slightly, motioning for the three of them to stay back, and walked in front with his subordinates.
Next, after turning the corner of the passage in the cave, Lei Xiao noticed.
Not far away, several lifeless corpses were lying strewn about. There was no doubt that these were the farmers who had just been attacked and killed by those sharp-edged beasts.
Looking at the shocking red blood that had not yet dried up on the cave wall, Zhao Lu and the other three people who had just arrived in the back row couldn't help but look fearful on their faces and stepped back to one side again.
Su Ru and Su Mo also had their throats rolling and swallowed involuntarily.
For Lei Xiao, who has experienced many incidents such as border battlefields, he is naturally able to deal with them calmly.
After that, everyone walked for a while, and everything in front of them suddenly became clear.
At this time, under the leadership of Lei Xiao, the group of people had arrived at a relatively large underground space.
The area here is about one hundred square meters.
On the ground, there are scattered white skeletons of monsters.
However, the most eye-catching thing is under the light of the light crystal.
On the four walls of the cave, a large number of black crystal stones with a frosted texture are inlaid.
If you look carefully, you can see these black crystal stones that reflect a faint light and are scattered almost everywhere on the walls of the entire space.
And, what’s even more striking is.
Among them, there is also a small part of the black ore that contains a faint golden energy, which flips and flows like a nebula in the universe.
Such a scene makes the entire space seem quite dreamlike at first glance, making people marvel.
It can be seen that although they are all black in texture, there are obviously two different ores present here.
In addition, in a corner of the cave, there are many excavated black crystals and strange black ores, which are piled randomly on the surrounding ground.
"Yes, yes, I know those ordinary black ores. They are the obsidian necessary to upgrade the guardian's defense mechanism. It is a level 2 rare resource.
It's exactly what we need now. I wonder what that strange black ore is?"
Overjoyed, Lei Xiao quickly walked closer, picked up a palm-sized piece of strange black ore, and then opened the attribute bar of the ore.
"It turns out this is the dark magic crystal!"
After reading the names displayed on the attribute bar, Lei Xiao couldn't help but have a look of surprise and joy on his face.
There is no doubt that this level 3 rare resource is the last necessary material to upgrade the guardian's defense mechanism!
"It seems that the guardian defense mechanism will be upgraded soon!"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao did not hesitate, and with a wave of his hand, he collected all the two resources scattered on the ground into his bag.
