Chapter 941 Maggot Cave

After leaving the defensive line of the Crystal Warriors, Watson landed along the thick vines stretching down the edge of the floating island.

Finally, relying on the mark perception and the black mist energy traces actively released by the black knight, they came to the other side of the falling dragon waterfall.

A forest that looks very eerie and eerie.

This forest is very strange. Every tree is tall, dark in appearance, and shaped like a human being.

The crown of the tree is like hair, and there are only two branches around it, like a pair of arms.

Even their rhizomes are split in two, digging into the ground like two legs.

As soon as Watson stepped into the forest, a faint and strange wind blew, and the surrounding trees swayed with the wind, as if welcoming new guests here.

As Watson walked forward, he opened the small map to check. At the same time, the dragon's perception spread out to check, and found that these trees were all dead, and there were no signs of ambushes around.

Maybe it's overthinking.

However, there are indeed many strange places in the strange world, so it is better to be careful.

Thinking this way, Watson flapped his dragon wings and flew forward without touching his feet.

It's a pity that the road was calm, and there was no bridge where trees turned into treants to attack.

After a while, the surrounding dense trees also became sparse, and a round pit about ten meters deep appeared in front of him.

A rotten smell flooded his nostrils.

Looking down with the probe, the ground in the pit is full of sapropel mud and dilapidated weed roots.

Countless white bones are mixed in, and it is impossible to tell what kind of creature it is.

In the center of the pit was a 'cave' about five meters high and fairly spacious. The cave was surrounded by a circle of flat land and looked quite clean, but this cave was really disgusting to Watson.

The shape of the cave looks like an enlarged honeycomb, with holes everywhere, and it is so dark that it is hard to see what is there.

Although he didn't feel any danger, this appearance made Watson, who was slightly resistant, frowned.

But he found his purpose.

Karl, the black knight, was sitting on the ground at the entrance of the cave.

After noticing Watson, he raised his head and looked at him.

This time, Watson did not find hatred in his gaze, but apologised.

Watson slowly landed in front of the black knight, put away his dragon wings, looked at the faint flame in his helmet and said, "Why, don't you run away this time?"

""

Carl was silent for a moment, then got up and took a step forward, bowed slightly to Watson, and replied in a hoarse and stammering voice: "I am very sorry, Your Excellency. I apologize for my behavior."

"I accept the apology, tell me the reason now, when I saved you, why did you look at me like that."

"I thought I was cheated because I didn't perceive the queen"

Watson nodded knowingly. He heard from Chief Lizard that the woman had disappeared, so the black knight expressed his anger at himself because he could not feel her breath and thought he had been deceived.

No, wouldn't this make sure that this woman is indeed not in the strange world?

Wouldn't he only be able to complete system tasks here? The key reality gem.

"Are you sure she's not here?" Watson asked Carl.

"My friend told me that the queen and the Horde allied forces won the war and disappeared.

But the queen did return to the strange world and was still alive.

That's enough for me. "

"your friend?"

As soon as Watson finished speaking, an empty and light voice like a ghost sounded from behind him.

"Hello~ The strong man who came to help the queen, welcome to the maggot man's tomb~"

Watson turned his head and saw a black shadow coming out of the hole, followed by a strong smell of decay.

With the help of the light, Watson could clearly see the appearance of the person coming.

He carried a magic lamp and wore a black coat.

With a stooped body, only about 1.6 meters tall,

The face and upper body were wrapped in yellow rags like a mummy, with only one eye exposed.

At first glance, it looks like a villain in a horror game, but it suits the environment here.

Another weirdo.

Watson thought about it, and asked, "You said this is the maggot man's tomb? Are there still dragons for rent here?"

"Uh..." The person who came here obviously didn't expect Watson to ask this question, looked at Carl with exposed eyes, then turned back and blinked: "I'm very sorry, sir, the dragon training business in the maggot man's tomb has been closed for a long time up.

Oh, I'm so sorry, let's go first, talking while walking. "

After the weirdo finished speaking, he turned his head and walked towards the cave, while Watson turned his head to look at the black knight.

"Carl, what the hell are you up to?"

"It's just for your understanding."

The black knight Carl walked up to Watson and said, "I saw your Excellency go to the upper floor, and there is a passage to the upper floor here."

"Are you saying that there is a shortcut to the upper floor without going through the barrier?"

Carl nodded: "Only the incompetent will be blocked by the magic barrier, and the only way to go to the upper floor is through here."

Another incompetent person? That is, people without magic power?

It seems that my energy is not accepted by the setting of this world

"Well, I hope you didn't lie to me."

Watson lifted his feet and walked in, and the strange man who had been waiting at the door set off again to open the way for the two of them.

Just after Watson walked into the cave, white things began to bulge in the holes on the edge of the cave, as if something was gushing out.

The passage in the cave is not wide enough for two people to walk side by side, so Karl consciously walked behind.

"Since you used to have a dragon training rental business, it wasn't like this before here, right?"

Although the tamed dragons I saw before are smaller in size, they are definitely not close to this cave, unless these tamed dragons live in the nearby forest.

"Hehehe~ Don't lie to the guests, the maggot man's cave also has two floors. Only the upper cave is rented out to train dragons, and there is no trace of dragon training in the lower floor."

As the weirdo spoke, the flashes of reminiscence flashed in his exposed eyes.

"This is a human-like forest, and it was a very lively place when it was not dilapidated.

And the Swinging Salon, once suspended high above the humanoid forest, is one of the most popular taverns in the strange world.

Hehehe, the most exciting thing at that time was the wizarding night on Wednesday, where spirits were sold at half price, allowing everyone to drink to their heart's content.

At that time, the teleportation service provided by the maggot man's cave was also a time when business was booming, although not everyone was willing to come. "

Tavern? Swinging salon?

Wednesday? Wizard Night?

spirits? Everyone have a good drink?

The more Watson listened, the more something went wrong. Isn't this all a description of human society? How could it come out of this strange man?

Thinking of this, Watson couldn't help but glanced back at the black knight Carl, thoughtful.
