Chapter 2156: The Cave
While he was secretly sighing in his heart, 'I'm going to die this time,' he discovered that after waiting for a long time, he didn't feel any pain.
Not even the wind was heard.
He quietly opened one eye, only to find that Mrs. Silla's waving forelimb was fixed on the tip of his nose.
"What's going on?" When little Sam was confused, Mrs. Silla's body suddenly softened and she fell to the ground.
As Mrs. Silla fell, little Sam saw the man standing behind Mrs. Silla: "...Mr. Thiessen?"
Froude stood in the semi-darkness, with one of his hands still inserted into the opening in the huge abdomen of Lady Silla's spider body.
He slowly pulled out his hand, and you could see that his translucent hand was bloody.
Mrs. Silla is an undead soul, and Froud is also a spirit body, so naturally there cannot be blood.
This blood belongs to little Sam.
"You did a good job before. You know that the blood of your relatives is the key to restraining Madam Silla. But when you were operating, you overlooked an issue. Madam Silla's mouth is not only on her head, but also on her abdomen. In other words, the mouth on her abdomen is the closest to the soul body. The core." In Little Sam's confused eyes, Froude explained: "Although the blood in the mouth of her head will gradually cause her soul to collapse, the collapse time will be relatively longer. She has There may be another attack during this period, just like the one just now.”
"You can only hit her with one hit by probing your blood into the mouth of her abdomen. She will collapse the fastest and will not be able to fight back."
Hearing this, little Sam finally reacted.
The blood entrance mentioned in "The Book of the Dead" turns out to be not the mouth on Lady Silla's head, but the abdominal slit where countless sharp teeth can be seen.
"After all, you haven't left the mortal world, and your thinking and judgment are still based on the rules of ordinary humans, so I don't blame you for this mistake. When you enter the wizarding world in the future and see all kinds of strange creatures, you will naturally Gradually get out of the current thinking dilemma." As Froude said, he took out a bottle and took in Mrs. Silla who was gradually turning into a half-ghost.
As soon as Mrs. Silla entered the bottle, the collapse-like blur immediately stopped, as if time had been frozen.
Froude shook the bottle with satisfaction. He would be able to practice soul tricks with this later.
However, before that, little Sam still needs to nod.
After all, it was little Sam who killed Lady Silla. Even though Froud helped patch it up in the end, in fact, even if he didn't patch it up, the death would not stop. Lady Silla would also die after a while, but the speed would be slower than before.
When Froude was thinking about how to get Little Sam to nod, Little Sam suddenly asked: "Master Thiessen, you know that Mrs. Silla will come to the castle, right?"
Seeing the obviously resentful look in Little Sam's eyes, Froud didn't know how to answer.
"Yes." At this time, a clear and powerful voice sounded from the dark corridor in the distance.
Following the sound of footsteps, a man with red hair and golden eyes appeared in Little Sam's field of vision.
Little Sam looked at the visitor and said respectfully: "Mr. Pat."
Angel nodded, walked up to Little Sam, stretched out his finger to draw a little bit of the air, Little Sam felt as if there was a rushing sound of breath coming from his ears, and the dirt on the wound on his body disappeared instantly.
After the wound became clean, another wave of warmth came, and the torn wound began to heal quickly.
"Is this a wizard's spell?" Little Sam stared blankly at the wound that sprouted flesh, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"It's a trick, not a spell. A level 0 cleaning trick and a level 1 healing trick. They are very simple tricks. You will be exposed to the basic tricks as soon as you step into the apprenticeship." Angel After explaining the magic problem, he paused and said, "I can answer your question now."
"You want to know if we know that Lady Silla will come. Yes, we are very sure that she will appear, and we also know that you will become her hunting target."
Little Sam's eyes flashed: "That's why Mr. reminded me before, asking me to be careful and use my brain more when I encounter danger."
Angel nodded: "That's right."
After getting the affirmative answer, Little Sam recalled Ada's sudden change of attitude before. He didn't think it was wrong at the time, but looking back now, it was a little strange: "Yada suddenly said he wanted to go back to rest. Could it be that..."
Flood: "We sensed that Madam Silla was about to appear. In order to prevent Ada from being injured, I sent a message to him and asked him to return to the room where the defensive magic energy array was set up."
Little Sam was silent for a moment: "What about me?"
Although it was just a simple rhetorical question, it was full of restrained emotions. If Flood were in Little Sam's position, he would probably be even more excited. Everyone knew the truth, but he was kept in the dark. It is not easy to control this feeling of grievance and rejection.
Angel smiled: "Didn't you already guess that the reason why you came here is to let you face Mrs. Silla directly."
"Why?" When little Sam saw Froud appear and point out "the real mouth is in her belly", he guessed: everything he did, his escape, Mrs. Silla's pursuit , in fact, they are all under the noses of Froude and Angel.
"So, am I just an actor in a preset drama?"
The change in Sam's eyes did not hide it from Angel. Angel also heard the hidden meaning in Sam's words. He was an actor on the stage, so what were they?
Angel gently rubbed Sam's brown hair: "You are not an actor, and we are not the audience to be pleased."
Although Angel just denied it without any basis, Sam was inexplicably convinced.
Even if he believed what Angel said, Sam was still a little depressed, lowering his head and not saying anything.
Angel also understood Sam, so he didn't care about his awkwardness: "Maybe you will feel a little strange, or even resentful, but all this stems from the question you asked me when we came."
Sam: "The question I asked?"
"Don't you want to join the Savage Cave?"
Sam nodded blankly. He did tell Angel before that he hoped to join the wizard organization where Mr. Pat was.
Angel: "You have been in the orphanage these days, and you should have heard about the purpose of the orphanage."
Little Sam continued to nod. Before, Yada said that the role of him and Shanni in the orphanage was to play the role in the illusion of Dead by Daylight and give the entry trial to the gifted.
Thinking of this, Little Sam suddenly realized something, and his eyes lit up: "So, this is about my trial? Can I join the Savage Cave after passing the trial?"
Angel smiled and nodded: "Yes, congratulations, you passed. This is indeed a trial, but it is slightly different from what you imagined."
"Different?"
"What is different, you will understand when you enter the Savage Cave."
Little Sam's eyes flashed with joy, he didn't care what the so-called difference was, he cared more about...he entered the Savage Cave!
Although the process was painful, the result was good, for Little Sam, this was already very good.
Little Sam couldn't help but want to stand up and salute Angel. However, as soon as he moved, the wound that had not yet healed immediately taught him a sad lesson.
Frode hurriedly stepped forward and helped little Sam: "You can't move now. If you want to express your joy, wait until your wound is healed."
"About Lady Xila." When little Sam was helped to sit in a nearby guest room, Angel's voice came again: "She was taken away by Frode with a soul-collecting bottle before."
Little Sam nodded, and he saw that Lady Xila was collected in a small bottle.
"This thing is useless to you at present, but it is very useful to Frode." Angel used his eyes to signal Frode to come forward and explain himself.
Frode immediately stepped forward and explained that he needed Lady Xila to assist in his practice.
After listening to this, little Sam was stunned for a long time before he realized that Frode was asking for his opinion.
"Although Lady Xila was a test, her appearance and her death were all caused by you. Therefore, according to the distribution principle, her greatest distribution right belongs to you." Frode said.
According to Freud's own character, he actually wouldn't talk about the principle of distribution with a mortal.
However, little Sam is different. He is a near-spiritual body with an unparalleled soul talent. This talent has the opportunity to attract special souls and special undead. This alone will be of great use to him in the future, or to Ada and Shanni.
Now it is beneficial to maintain a good relationship in advance.
Having been a slave for a long time, little Sam can clearly feel sincerity and hypocrisy. Freud is now sincere and frank, and he does not rely on his status, but treats everyone equally, which makes little Sam very moved.
Some of the resentment that little Sam had before has now dissipated.
He has read many records about the undead before, and understands that the undead have no effect on him at this stage, or even for a long time in the future. Staying by his side may have a very bad impact.
Angel is right, Madam Xila is useless to him. Therefore, it is okay to hand him over to Freud, not to mention that Freud also promised to compensate him in the future.
Thinking of this, Little Sam no longer hesitated and nodded: "I agree to hand it over to Mr. Tissen. If it weren't for Mr. Tissen's help before, I would have died."
Frode smiled, but didn't say 'Even if he didn't take action, Angel wouldn't let him die', and played with the soul bottle with a smile.
Angel patted Little Sam's shoulder: "I'll take Frode to practice first, you should stay here for the time being, there will be no more danger next time."
After saying that, Angel gave Frode a look, and the two quickly sank into the darkness.
Little Sam stroked his gradually healing wound. When the wound was completely healed, he immediately lit an oil lamp, took out a blank notebook, and recorded what happened today.
...
On the other side, Angel and Frode flew quickly in the mountains and forests.
Soon, they came to a bare mountain peak, not far from Xinghu Castle, and could even vaguely see the lights of another castle on the hillside.
Angel: "Let's split up and look for it."
Frode nodded: "Okay."
The reason they came here is that after their secret observation, the first place where Lady Xila appeared was here.
This means that Lady Xila had been hiding nearby before.
They had not felt the breath of the dead here before. How did Lady Xila hide her breath? This made them feel a little strange, so they came to investigate.
Because the scope was narrowed, it was relatively easier for them to find abnormal places.
Not long after, Angell found a place inside the mountain where his mental power could not penetrate, blocked by an invisible force.
After determining the location, Angell took out a basic earth magic pattern leather scroll used to build a house.
With the power of the leather scroll, he forcibly opened a cave from the mountainside directly to the inside of the mountain.
At the end of the cave, it was directly connected to a huge cave. And it was in this cave that Angell discovered the abnormality before.
The air in the cave was flowing and humid. Obviously there was an exit here, which should be hidden somewhere in the forest. However, I didn't see the cave for a long time before, so I thought it was very hidden. But it doesn't matter how hidden it is, anyway, they came in another way.
Because the location has been determined, they didn't hesitate at all, and soon found a place where mental power could not penetrate.
It was a cave.
This cave was not formed naturally. It has obvious stone steps that lead all the way to the depths of darkness.
Angell looked at the entrance of the cave with a thoughtful expression.
Outsiders cannot see it, but as an alchemist who has studied magic patterns in depth, he can feel that the entrance of the cave looks normal, but there is a layer of membrane created by the magic array that cannot be seen by the naked eye.
It is this membrane that blocked his previous peeping mental power.
Although Angell did not think that there was anything here that could hurt him, just in case, he still spent a little time to study this magic array whose main array was unknown.
After a while, Angell basically confirmed the type of magic array.
This is a magic array used to cover up the breath. Apart from this, there is no other effect. Moreover, even if it is to cover up the breath, the effect is already very weak, because Angell can vaguely feel a gloomy and dead air escaping from the cave.
The magic array itself is complete, and the reason why the effect is weak should be because there is no energy supply.
This also shows a problem, there is a high probability that there is no one inside.
"Go in." After confirming that there is no danger, Angell and Frode stepped directly into the cave.
Angell had already felt the gloomy death aura before. After passing through the magic array and entering the cave, the death aura was no longer covered and rushed towards them crazily.
"The death aura here is even stronger than that in Xinghu Castle." Frode sensed the swarming death aura, and his already saturated soul power began to move a little. He quickly collected his mind to avoid being infected by the death aura from the outside world.
"With so much death aura, either the undead are always here, or many people have died." Angell said. Which one it is, you will know after you go in and take a look.
Although the death aura is fierce, it is not a direct attack after all, and it has no effect on them.
After walking down the cave for about 20 meters, the stairs finally came to the end.
