Chapter 188 Cave
The next day, he rejected the proposal of Ailian's parents to send them a team of militias, and the two rode horses to the nearby Phelis.
Viscount Simak and his son have never seen him since the dinner last night. They must have left. Ailian's request to help block the gun this time is also a solution. Now they are going to complete the trial mission of the academy.
Unlike the white long dress at the banquet yesterday, Ailian is like Locke today, with half of her body armor on her outside, a long sword hanging around her waist and iron boots.
The physical strength of the knight attendant is much stronger than that of ordinary people. Although Ailian is a woman, she is wearing a half-body chain mail of at least twenty kilograms, and she is also extremely relaxed. Compared with the appearance of a delicate beauty yesterday, her style changes suddenly.
Locke has also seen that Lafite often exchanges in these two states, so he did not respond much to Ai Lian's repetition, which made Ai Lian, who had been secretly paying attention to Locke's expression, extremely depressed.
Speaking of Douglas's little maid Lafite, she also wears armor and long swords, and is a heroine. She takes off her armor and puts on maid outfits and looks like a cute maid.
In terms of language, Locke has taken advantage of Lafite at home, but only for speech, he has no interest in teasing his good family in front of women such as Grace and Xia Xi.
In the dark and deep cave, Locke walked in front with fluorite, and behind him was Ai Lian who was just holding his arm.
Looking at Ailian's look afraid of the darkness, Locke really didn't understand why she would have chosen such a task for her.
"If you are afraid, go out first. I'll go out after investigation. I'll go out to find you." Because there was an extra bottle of oil, Lock stopped and said helplessly to Ailian.
Ailian's face showed a moving look at the same dark and unfathomable exit, with only a little light that was faintly visible. After looking at Locke, he was struggling for a long time and said, "No, I want to be with you!" As he said that, the force on his hand tightened a little more.
Lock looked speechlessly at Ailian holding his arm like a koala, and could only walk slowly into the cave with his body. The details that protected Ailian behind him made Ailian, who was afraid of darkness, feel extremely moved at this moment.
As Locke penetrated the cave step by step, he didn't expect that there was really a world hidden inside.
The dark cave space, the gloomy dwarf trees, and the stalactites dripping with water droplets in the distance.
After touching the branches and leaves on the low tree, Locke had never seen such a bifurcated leaf vein.
Ailian was also very curious about the appearance of this underground space. Although she followed Locke closely, she still did not forget to observe the surroundings.
Suddenly, before she could react, Locke suddenly threw her down and covered her lips with her hands so that she could not make any sound.
After Locke's series of actions, Ailian had not reacted yet, but saw Locke reaching the finger of his other hand to his mouth, making a silent move, then turned to the front of his head, and turned to the front of his right.
Following Locke's gaze, Ailian looked over.
A sound of lightly stepping on the ground appeared. A humanoid creature about 1.3 meters tall appeared beside the pool. Its slightly wide foot soles slowly moved towards the direction of the pool, and its arms drooped, so that it could leave quickly with both hands and feet at any time. The shuttle-shaped and dark nails on both hands showed its sharpness.
If the footsteps hadn't suddenly broken the silence, it would have been impossible to notice that it was moving.
Under the stalactite is a pool of water, and the water drops of "drip...drip..." are constantly falling from the stalactite into the pool.
Slowly, it approached the pool and illuminated its body through the reflection of water. The carbon-black eyes accounted for nearly one-third of the head, with slightly gray skin, large and pointed ears, and jagged and sharp teeth.
It slowly lowered its head and licked the water at the edge of the pool. Its movements were extremely small, and its ears were swinging, listening to the movements around it, and from time to time looked up to look around.
Suddenly, the three pillars of red grass beside the pool attracted its attention.
The black eyes suddenly shone brightly, and I saw it looking up from side to side, especially the pool staring for a long time, as if there was something inside that made him extremely terrifying. After a long time, the greed in its eyes finally overcame the timidity, and slowly it began to move towards the pool.
Just as it reached the next to three grasses and was about to pull it out, water droplets suddenly splashed everywhere, and a crocodile-like creature suddenly emerged from the pool, nearly 3 meters long. Its giant jaw spread to two-thirds of its body and bit downwards.
"Ah..." The humanoid creature who was about to pick grass made a scream like a child crying when he saw this, and quickly moved back on all fours, with a terror unconcealed in his eyes.
How could a crocodile creature let it escape? It was seen that it leaned forward, as if it was about to swallow the thing in front of it into its stomach in one mouthful of the next moment.
The humanoid creature retreated in a roar, and saw that black light flashed in its hands at some point. The obstruction of the body and dark light that the giant crocodile had not discovered it.
Just as the giant crocodile's big mouth was close to the top of the humanoid's head and was about to bite, the humanoid's hands, which were glowing black, suddenly merged and smashed it hard towards the giant crocodile's lips in front of the left.
The giant crocodile was caught off guard and was hit by a humanoid creature and let out an angry roar. The attack was interrupted for a moment. I can't believe that a dwarf who was only one meter tall dared to attack a giant beast that was three times its size, and it seemed to have achieved a considerable effect?
I saw an abnormal charred blackness below the right mouth of the giant crocodile, as if corroded by some kind of strong acid. However, this trauma is nothing to the giant crocodile with a body length of nearly three meters.
Its eyes were red, as if it was extremely angry that the tiny creature hurt it. Its claws suddenly pressed forward again, as if it was about to press the tiny creature under its body and bit it freely.
After successfully interrupting the giant crocodile's attack, the humanoid creature kicked back with both legs and fled backwards.
The small and flexible body moved left and right under the giant crocodile, and from time to time avoiding the attack of the giant crocodile's claws and big mouths. The giant crocodile could not do anything to it for a moment.
The battle by the pool is continuing, and time has passed half an hourglass.
Locke and Ailian, who were not far away, were staring at the battle not far away. At this time, the humanoid creatures were covered with scratches, and the green blood oozed out of the cloth clothes. Although they were not caught by the giant crocodile, they inevitably collided with the giant crocodile's scales and sharp stones beside the pool while dodging. However, this was the best ending compared to being caught by the giant crocodile. If they were caught by the giant crocodile, they believed that their small body would be torn and swallowed in an instant.
The code of this chapter is a bit rough, I hope readers won't be surprised.
