Chapter 438: The Council of the Gods(1/2)
It was already the next day by the time Colin learned about the crypt.
In the early morning, Lillian came to his study.
"You mean, there are a lot of cave creatures appearing in Into City?"
Colin's expression suddenly became solemn.
The original god's pollution was inseparable from the cave creatures, and going forward hundreds of years, there was also a cave demon wave in the Tilaimei Plain.
So when he heard the strange movements of the creatures in the cave, his heart suddenly sank.
"No major losses occurred."
But she never thought that Lilian shook her head and said, "There are indeed a lot of cave creatures, but they can't be said to be many, and they are weak. When the wizards stationed in the city received the news of asking for help and arrived, the wizard apprentices in Into City
We have almost solved them."
Colin felt slightly relieved, it was good that nothing serious happened.
Thinking about it, if there was something big, he wouldn't have waited until he came out of the Silver Chamber this morning to learn the news.
However, Colin thought for a while and said: "The divine pollution has just passed, so I'd better go over and check it out on the spot."
"Yes, I think so." Lilian nodded, then paused and added: "Go and come back quickly."
"Why?"
"Jennifer invited me to her birthday party in the afternoon."
Colin was slightly startled, "Jennifer invited you?"
"Yes." Lilian nodded, glanced at Colin calmly, smoothed her hair and said, "Shelley was also invited, and of course, the mentor."
"Well, let's go and get back quickly." Colin said calmly.
Lillian didn't say anything more and took the lead to walk out.
…
The bright autumn sunshine has set, and the wild grass and trees along the roadside are already showing some signs of withering and yellowing.
But the farmland is full of green and full of vitality.
"Tell me what exactly happened last night?"
Colin stood on the field ridge and asked the wizard apprentice in Into City in front of him.
"Yes, the great Lord Tiramei." The latter suppressed the excitement in his heart, nodded, and began to narrate:
"At about two o'clock last night, knights Jimmy and Lot were patrolling the farmland in front of us. Then they discovered a spider-like cave monster near the field ridge in front of us, and at the same time sent out a signal for help."
"I was in the duty hut next to the farmland. After hearing the call for help, I rushed over immediately without hesitation. On the way, I saw the cave monster by the light of Jimmy and his torch, and then
It was just a fireball shot!"
Buck, the wizard's apprentice, narrates the story vividly, with an emotional voice and a lot of body language.
"With a bang, the monster fell down. At the same time, the flames of the explosion also reflected the surrounding situation - it turned out that there was not just one monster in the cave, but more than twenty! I was..."
"Speak to the important point." Lilian couldn't help but remind her.
After checking this place, they still have to go back to attend Jennifer's birthday party.
"...Yes." Buck was startled, nodded quickly, paused for a while and said:
"After I saw more than 20 monsters, I immediately asked for help from Golden Wheat Sui, but I never thought that those monsters were vulnerable. I killed them all before the wizard arrived."
"Besides these monsters, do you see any other abnormalities?"
Colin asked as he looked around at the pitted battle marks in the surrounding farmland.
"Abnormal...I don't see anything abnormal, but these cave creatures are too weak, and they look strange. Each one is different, and they are also somewhat different from the common cave creatures in the past."
"Take us to see the corpses of those cave monsters." Colin thought for a while and said.
"yes."
Buck nodded respectfully.
Walking back through the farmland, they soon saw the corpses of monsters piled next to the farm duty hut.
Just as Buck said, those cave creatures look all kinds of weird. The spider-like cave creature Jimmy and Lot first encountered didn't actually look like a spider at all.
After all... no spider would have only four legs, a slender body, and a huge mouthpart.
However, cave creatures have all kinds of strange looks. When Colin hunted in caves for several months, the cave creatures he saw were basically different every day.
So at this moment, when he saw the strange appearance of these cave creatures, he didn't pay much attention. After taking a closer look, he turned to Buck and continued to ask:
"You said there are some differences from the common cave creatures in the past...in what way did you mean?"
As far as looking at the corpses in front of us now, there is nothing special about these cave monsters except that they are weak.
"Hmm..." Buck frowned and thought hard, beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, and said, "I can't tell the specific difference."
"Well, it doesn't matter." Colin said calmly, "If you think of it later, report it to the police as soon as possible."
Nothing related to the catacombs should be taken lightly.
Maybe this is just Buck's illusion, but maybe it's not... Anyway, it's always good to be more careful.
Swish-bang!
At this moment, a firework for help suddenly rose in the distant sky.
"Another cave creature appears?" Buck murmured. When he came back to his senses, he found that Colin and the two had disappeared.
"Run!"
The patrol knight shouted loudly to the serfs in the farmland. In front of him was a black cave creature that looked like a giant mite.
The serfs screamed and fled in panic.
The patrol knight also slowly retreated with the crowd, holding a solid knight's sword in his hand.
Whoosh!
However, the next second, an undetectable white stream of light flashed through, and a halo of light appeared on the black cave creature in front of him, and he suddenly stopped in place.
Two figures emerged.
"Great... great Lord of Tiraime!" The patrolling knight turned around, was slightly startled, then quickly knelt down on the ground and shouted respectfully.
"Get up." Colin said, but his eyes were looking into the distance.
"There are cave monsters over there." Lilian followed his line of sight and said with a frown.
Although they came here only for a moment, it was actually quite far away from the previous farmland.
You can already see the cave entrance area in the south of Into City.
At this moment, about dozens of cave creatures were emerging from those strange-shaped holes.
Before the farmland was polluted by the gods, several cave monsters would run out of the cave area from time to time.
But the quantity is very small.
After the farmland was polluted, perhaps because too many cave creatures emerged during the pollution, all the caves fell into silence.
After that night, and until last night, no creature from the cave was found to have escaped.
Whoosh!
"Let's go and take a look."
Colin pondered for a moment, and flew to the cave area with Lily.
Whoosh!
He first waved his hand to stop all the creatures that had emerged from the cave in place.
After careful inspection one by one, they could not find any abnormalities in these living cave creatures.
"Wait for me here for a moment."
After thinking for a moment, Colin said to Lilian beside him.
Then he randomly selected a cave and walked in.
It seems that this is the first time he has entered the cave after the farmland was contaminated.
Stepping into the cave, the noisy sounds are isolated. The interior of the cave is dimly lit and very quiet.
When farmland is polluted, those wandering wizards who are stationed outside this cave area may be the most unlucky.
That night, in addition to farmland, a large number of cave creatures also emerged from the area dotted with cave entrances.
stationed at
The wizards who hunt cave creatures here bear the brunt, and there are basically no survivors.
The pollution in the caves during the day is indeed stronger than at night. After walking for a short time, Colin could already feel the pressure that he could only feel when he went deep into the caves.
It's just that this pressure is no longer worth mentioning to him now.
To be continued...
