The dead leaves piled on the ground are so thick that Cassia can feel soft when he steps on them. The dead leaves at the bottom have rotted, and there is also a little resin secreted from the roots of the ancient tree. The flames burn to this point, making crackling sounds, and even more
A large amount of gray smoke was coming out, and the pungent smell filled the surroundings. Cassia walked to the side and stood on the head of the breeze, not letting the smoke swallow him up. Zero followed, always keeping a distance of fifty or sixty meters from Cassia.
distance.
Zero flapped his palms at this time, and the air was blown out by him as if it were a real object, extinguishing the two fires that were about to spread around him. After the high-energy fuel ball is crushed, if the air is not completely isolated, it will burn until it is exhausted. Zero
The No. 1 tried several times but failed to extinguish the flames of the high-energy fuel balls, so he gave up and stopped thinking about the dozens of rings of fire rising around him.
Seeing that Zero made no move against the spreading fire, Cassia raised her head. The smoke was stacked up layer by layer, like an irregular high-rise building, and it did not break apart in the rising hot wind, but was steadily spreading little by little.
The dark green tree canopy is nearly two to three hundred meters above.
After a few breaths, a thick gray cloud-like smoke slowly took shape under Cassia's gaze. When it came into contact with the tree canopy, Cassia looked at Zero, asking him what decision he would make next.
means.
The fire reached the two people, forcing them to continue moving to the side. Dozens of small fire rings ignited by high-energy fuel balls were now connected together, forming a fire field with a diameter of more than a hundred meters, and the extension speed was faster.
"I hope that after the others gather together, you will indeed have the strength to complete your plan." Zero finally spoke. He and Cassia walked slowly, always a few steps faster than the flames next to them, "Four dragon knights
We won't give you too many opportunities to meet each other."
"We will see the results soon. Although I don't have much confidence myself." Cassia replied with a smile and looked up at the sky. Large pieces of gray smoke had passed through the thick and dense canopy and drifted.
Under the not-so-strong sunlight in the early morning, it won't be long before a cloud of smoke will float in the air. It will become a signal, and the teams who see it will choose to center around it and move closer here.
,,,,,,
On the other side of the forest, a team stopped. About twenty people now formed an irregular circle, framing a seemingly ordinary ground covered with dead leaves.
Sawyer unfolded his mask and looked around at the circle of members. He raised his hand and then put it down heavily, as if signaling the start of a running race. Twenty people followed Sawyer's signal and took a step forward at the same time.
It hit the ground under the dead leaves hard. There was no vibration, but there were multiple empty sounds coming from below.
Amidst the shattering sound of "Boom!", the ground surrounded by about twenty people suddenly collapsed. Among the flying dead leaves, a hole with a diameter of several tens of meters appeared, and pieces of rock slabs like a cover fell in.
, rolled down into the depths of the cave with a steep slope, and merged into the darkness below in the blink of an eye.
The roaring echo resounded in the cave, getting weaker and weaker, and soon disappeared.
The team waiting near the entrance of the cave waited for nearly two minutes before the members of the kinetic armor team took a step ahead, approached the entrance of the cave, and fired several signal flares into it. Under the light of the flares, they could only see the situation near the entrance of the cave.
, unable to observe the appearance of the depths. On the contrary, in the light, the black color in the depths of the cave appears more intense.
"The soil looks very fresh, and the hole seems to have been dug out recently. The air inside is warm and humid. If this environment lasts for a long time, and there is no lack of air near the entrance of the hole, this large area will have to be covered with a layer of
Thick moss is suitable." Sawyer pointed at the hole and said, "This is exactly within the range of the target. Does the appearance of the hole here mean anything?"
Sawyer turned his head and looked at the members of the Holy Guard beside him: "Mr. Tornos, I don't know what you think?"
"There are no footprints, the slope is so steep, and it was only recently excavated." Tornossa is the captain of the Holy Guard member of this team. "It doesn't look like it was man-made, but it was done by a second-type creature."
The possibility is very high.”
A group of people including Tolsus, Sawyer and others stood near the entrance of the cave and looked down. There was a vague and terrifying aura in the deep darkness. If it came up a little bit, it would already make people feel dangerous. More than a dozen of them
His eyes glanced back and forth near the entrance of the cave until the flare burned out, and then his eyes lost their observational role as the darkness spread back to the entrance of the cave.
"It would be better to do a little bit of processing." Sawyer said solemnly. He asked the members of the Flame Alliance in the team for their opinions. He only got the names of a few types of second-type creatures that can dig holes, and no more information. And only about these types of creatures.
Among the creatures in the second category, none can dig caves as big or small as the one in front of you.
"Cut down a few old trees and block the entrance to the cave." Someone suggested.
Soon after, the entrance to the cave was blocked by chopped ancient branches, which bulged into a small pile. The sunlight fell on this place without any hindrance, making the pile of trees under the light look like a fresh one. The memorial ceremony was just completed.
Huge tomb.
After doing this, Sawyer and the others always felt that the surrounding air seemed dull and cold, and their breathing was not smooth due to the influence of their mood. The team was preparing to move forward again immediately, when the communication came from the dragon knight Heinoui in the sky. It was only half the time.
Minutes later, the team had changed direction. Sawyer took all the members of the kinetic armor, accelerated one step ahead, and rushed towards No. 0's position.
Not long after the entire team left, a small grinding sound came from the ground. After a few breaths, Sawyer and the others piled up, and the pile of trees used to simply block the entrance of the cave suddenly sank, and in the blink of an eye they were heading towards the cave.
Collapse at depth.
After the pile of trees disappeared, Cassie Hei's head cautiously poked out from the hole, its blood-red cross pupils full of vigilance. It looked around, then raised its head to look at the dazzling light in the sky, and let out a cry
A slight snort seemed to express dissatisfaction with this bright environment.
The head then retracted under the hole. Nearly three minutes later, the sound of grinding was heard again. This time, it was no longer Cassie Hei's head that poked out first, but a huge sharp claw. The claw grasped a piece of polished material.
Traces of thick rock slabs.
This time, Cassie Hei stretched out almost half of his body. He held up the stone slab, carefully collected dead leaves from the surroundings, and sprinkled them on the rock slab. Finally, Cassie Hei made a deep breath and covered the stone slab again.
Just before the exit of the underground cave network, I blew air around the surroundings. The dead leaves were immediately blown up in large pieces, and then slowly fell, completely eliminating the obvious traces around them.
Quietness fell here again.
At the same time, in the direction the team was leaving, Sawyer and his kinetic armor team rushed forward with all their strength and had already put some distance away from Tolsus and the others behind him.
