The exploration team finally entered the cave. Surdak found that there were no stalactites at all in the cave. The internal space was much larger than the entrance, and some ghostly patterned soldier ants could be seen deep in the cave heading towards it.
While peeping, they seemed to be frightened by Gulitem, hiding in those hidden stone crevices, with no intention of coming out.
The light in the depths of the cave seemed a little dim, with only amber luster condensed in some stone crevices. Surdak came closer to take a look. They were some beeswax stones mixed in the stone crevices. This kind of crystal was sold in the magic market.
It's a kind of magic gem.
Surdak used his heavy sword to pry off a palm-sized piece, which looked a bit like amber or citrine. There was a faint halo flowing in the gem. Surdak casually released some holy light, which penetrated into the gem very smoothly.
.
"Is this a magic gem?" Selena followed him and came over to take a look curiously.
Surdak nodded and said: "Although I don't know what kind of gem it is, it should be of high value, with good magic conductivity and magic increase..."
Taking advantage of the rest of the exploration team, Surdak set up an altar and sacrificed the heads of three demon warriors, blessing Gulitem, Kali Decker and himself with 'insight', so
Even if the light in the cave is dim, it doesn't seem to affect a few of them.
And Selena is the waiter of the goddess of the night, with unparalleled affinity in the dark.
Surdak walked a few steps into the cave and saw some yellow gem veins in a crack...
Just when Surdak was thinking about whether this cave could be a natural gem mine, Selina came up and said to Surdak in an unusually calm voice:
"This tree of life has been dead for at least nearly ten thousand years, and the entire tree roots have been completely petrified. These yellow crystals were originally the blood in this big tree. Later, these big trees died completely, and the tree blood was also in this big tree.
The inside of the tree slowly condenses into crystal."
Surdak discovered that Selina's eyes were closed when she said these words, and her face had a faint brilliance, looking like the great prophet in some temple.
"These ghost-patterned red ants are probably the initiator of this disaster." Then she said: "Although the ghost-patterned red ants live in the body of the world tree, they have not yet become high-level monsters. On the contrary, the entire group is
Continuously deteriorating..."
Listening to Selena's talk, Suldak looked at Selena with some confusion.
Selina's body trembled slightly, she stopped, and then opened her eyes, as if she suddenly woke up.
When he looked at Suldak again, his eyes were full of tenderness.
This proved that the real Selena was back. Seeing Suldak staring at her, her face blushed slightly and she admitted in a low voice:
"She just came here. She also told me that this place is the remains of the ancient god of nature, the World Tree. She may have been inspired by the ruins here, so she took the opportunity to send down a ray of consciousness and came to take a look." Selena
She followed up, took Suldak's arm, and whispered: "And she also reminded us that this world tree has been completely petrified, and its body has no value, but these gems should be pretty good."
"Is this really a World Tree?" Surdak asked seriously.
"Yeah." Selena nodded affirmatively.
"The tree roots alone are bigger than Bena City. I really want to know how tall it is." Surdak said with some emotion, and then added some imagination and said: "Do you know, our
The magician flew above the clouds but didn't even see the top... Do you think there is a huge umbrella-shaped canopy high in the sky? Or maybe there are still some indigenous people living there, or that huge canopy can be built
Several cities in the sky are coming!”
Selina blinked her eyes, smiled and said: "If you want to know the answer, you have to try to find it here."
While the two were chatting, Gary Decker, who had entered the cave to explore the way, came back carrying a magic shotgun and swinging his long legs.
"How is the situation inside?" Suldak approached and asked.
Gary Decker immediately replied: "The passage is very long, but there are not many ghost-striped red ants here..."
"Then let's continue exploring inside." Suldak said casually.
The team continued walking inside, and could still see some scattered human skeletons in the cave, some of which were almost reduced to ashes. Many of them were weapons left by local aboriginal hunters, such as bone bows and arrows, spears, and
Some braids are wrapped in magic crystals...
The further you go inside, the more you can feel that the cave seems a little damp. Some of the stone walls are even dripping water, forming puddles the size of washbasins in the cave.
Just next to these stone platforms, you can also find some brown moss, which has a very fishy smell.
There were not many ghost-striped red ants encountered along the way. The two-headed ogre's desire to fight was very strong. The ghost-striped soldier ants that he almost saw would be killed by him as long as they ran slower.
smash.
Moreover, the ghost-striped soldier ants here are not very strong-willed to resist, and they have never thought about holding on here. They are completely different from the soldier ants at the entrance of the ant nest at the foot of the mountain. The soldier ants there are completely blocking it with their lives.
Entering the entrance of the ant nest, here... As long as Surdak takes one step forward, the ghost-striped soldier ants will take two steps back without any intention of fighting.
"Did we choose the wrong path? They don't care much here!" Gary Decker whispered his doubts to Suldak.
"If we walk further inside, I really want to know what is inside..."
Surdak waved his hand, and after that, he led the exploration team to continue exploring the depths of the cave.
This cave is actually not that long. Suldak just walked more than 500 meters forward when he saw a narrow light in front of him.
After Gulitem drove away all the ghost-striped soldier ants in the cave, Surdak stood at the exit on the other side of the cave and looked at the scene in front of him. Only then did he realize that the assassin hidden in the belly of the ants had entered the belly of the mountain.
What exactly did I see...
Although it's a little dim inside, it's not pitch black, it's more like dusk...
Surdak stood on the edge of the cliff at the other exit of the cave, looking up at the sky above his head. The sky above his head was a huge circle.
It feels like you are in a huge chimney, or a semi-open-air stadium. The south side is obviously much higher, and the north side is lower. This is why the light cannot come in. It is called a dark place.
Worm Valley is really apt.
Then, Surdak suddenly thought that he might have really entered a huge tree hole, and there was probably only a stump left of this big tree, so he could see the sky above his head...
