Chapter 30 Greed Cave
Three days later.
While the sky was not yet bright, Rand left the college gate alone. After most of the day, he finally entered a towering mountain range near noon.
His lonely figure appeared on a desolate stone slope somewhere.
As his eyes turned, Rand looked at the surrounding mountains and scenery:
The other half of the wild forest is composed of many conical sandstone hills and sparse wild forest weeds.
The terrain looks like a honeycomb, perhaps because it has been weathered and eroded for many years. If you look at it carefully, dark gray and sandstone orange horizontal stripes alternate with each other, surrounding the surface of hills.
From this far view—
The area in front of a huge and deep cave is not only equipped with wooden fences and watchtowers, but also in groups of wizards and apprentices wearing white clothes patrolling, at a level of five steps.
"Wait, are you going to go in?"
Seeing the boy approaching, a blonde male apprentice came over to stop him and said.
"Yes." Land took off his gray hat, handed over the identity medal for the other party to check, and stood there calmly.
Greed Cave is an off-campus resource of Monhabis College, and is specially provided for wizard apprenticeships to practice, so outsiders are not allowed to come in to compete.
"You can go in." The male apprentice returned the things to the boy, and stood back to his original position to continue the guarding work.
After Rand nodded slightly, he took back his identity medal, then put on his hood again and walked slowly towards the huge dark cave.
The first 100 meters were still bright, with many torches hanging on the stone wall. Rand took one to illuminate his vision.
Although I didn't see anyone else along the way, I was safe and sound.
It has to be said that although this cave has a good sealing property, it still has sufficient oxygen supply.
This situation is really rare!
Rand felt that this kind of natural place was nothing scary except gloomy and depression.
But when the boy stepped on a stone slope, the shadow behind him was pulled long by the fire...
Suddenly a strong wind blew on my face, mixed with a faint smell of blood.
"Huhuhu." The wind here was very strong, and the torch on the boy's hand could not help but tremble slightly.
"Did the wind come from inside? Is there another exit?" Rand thought to himself, his eyes turning to the ground not far away.
There were bonfires flashing faintly there.
Several dead bodies of men and women were tightly pressed against the ground. The wounds that were broken by the struggle before death were covered with black blood clots. Dozens of black birds stood densely between the cracks on the top rocks, and occasionally looked at them. A greedy red light appeared in the cold narrow eyes.
They seem to be peeping at something waiting for, like predators.
Not only that, when Rand walked a hundred meters deep into the cave.
He found that there was a bonfire that had not been extinguished for a long time, and there were apprentice corpses with pointed hats and no blood on his face.
They looked very dirty and dirty, with broken blood all over the linen, except for the scars that were made of coffee, they were dirt.
Rand looked at the bodies of these apprentices slightly, just like the one before.
The clothes on their bodies were all turned upside down, and obviously all valuable things inside were plundered.
These guys died here in a slight manner, as thin as a mate, dark skin, and they looked particularly strange and embarrassed no matter how they looked.
So, there may be quite a danger here.
Moreover, Rand also sensed trace amounts of negative energy radiation here.
It seems that the deeper the cave, the thicker it becomes...
At this moment, when a gust of cold wind came from the front, Rand's expression suddenly changed.
"Dongdongdongdong..." A dense and strong movement spread out on the stone walls and ground. The strange birds living in the cracks of the rocks scattered one after another, and harsh screams came out and flew outwards towards the entrance of the cave.
A thin body of a man in gray robe rolled down from the air in a very strange posture, causing a large fog and dust.
Rand's attention was not on this corpse figure-
He looked at the flocks of monster birds that were about to rush in front of him, and couldn't help but whisper, "Red-eyed bat!"
The hair on the back of these black monster birds was almost black, the sides of the body and chest and abdomen were lighter in color, and their eyes were filled with strange red light, and their sharp teeth were opened when they made strange sounds, and countless people were spreading.
This kind of biome lives in a dark environment and loves flesh and blood. If an ordinary apprentice is targeted by these things, it may be a big problem.
"The dirty thing..." Rand murmured, and a flowing water-like shadow liquid instantly spread from the palms of his hands, instantly covering his body with a thin layer, wrapping it tightly.
At the same time, the boy also rummaged through and untied the dense cloth and took out a "black stone" that seemed to be rotten.
It seemed that because of the appearance of this ugly thing, the red-eyed bats that were originally about to slam into Rand flapped their wings and flew around.
"The smelly sheep brain that consumes trace amounts of poison can really make people feel terrifying."
Rand's eyes flashed slightly, and he seemed to be immune to this nauseating smell.
He originally planned to use this kind of 'biological weapon' to deal with female enemies, but he didn't expect it to come in handy in such a place.
Immediately afterwards, the boy tied the stinky sheep's brain around his waist and continued to move forward silently.
Without the disturbance of the red-eyed bats, Rand soon walked hundreds of meters in the cave. He saw some human corpses, wreckage or feces left by wild animals, and during this time he picked some unnoticed plants.
Moreover, he encountered five or six new forks in front and behind, and he didn't know which direction he led.
However, the boy was not too entangled and used the flickering frequency of the ring in his hand to determine. If the hole with a high frequency is high, it means that the radiation source contained in it is strong and try to avoid it.
So basically he didn't make any decisions, so he could quickly choose a passageway and walk in.
Before choosing to leave, he would leave three marks that he could only distinguish.
After a few hours, Rand seemed to notice something, and his eyes shiny and quickly walked to a ground, and saw red mushrooms covered with corners.
"It's actually a psychedelic mushroom that can make medium vertigo potion?" Rand finished picking it happily, packed it all and put it back in the storage space.
After a little happy, the boy couldn't help but look at the surrounding environment where his hands were getting more and more out of his fingers, and sighed softly.
The name of Greedy Cave is actually quite meaningful, because it is said that the deeper it reaches the cave, the more treasures there exist. If a person who is too greedy is exploring without regard for the consequences...
I'm afraid you will gradually get lost in a certain passage and can't get out of it.
Rand is not the only one who is smart. Over the years, many adventure team seniors have made channel marks.
However, it is rumored that there is some kind of creature similar to a goblin in this cave, and they always like to erase the marks like a "prank".
Of course, there is another saying that the dead soul is too lonely!
Therefore, they often do such behavior without realizing it.
In this thick stone cave, these "invisible" existences will always eliminate all the means left by adventurers.
Just as Rand had just walked in a new passage, he suddenly felt that the road ahead seemed to be on the downhill trend.
The temperature around seemed to have dropped a lot, and Rand could feel the wind around him getting colder.
However, his attention was all at the moment on that area like a small basin-
Within nearly a few square meters, many lifeless dark weeds are covered with.
This moment.
"Wait, is this...!" Rand's breathing even worsened in several points as if he had discovered something.
