Chapter 959: The Cave

"Yes... yes, village chief, their short spears are very powerful, and Lynch was impaled on the spot... I want to help him, but, but—"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly began to gasp for breath, his bloody cheeks quickly turned pale, and he began to fall to the side while standing upright. The companions on the side quickly supported him, but saw that Yate's limbs began to twitch involuntarily, his mouth opened wide to say something, but no sound came out.

Seeing this, Batty picked up the magic crystal that belonged to the other party from the wooden table not far away. When he pressed the red crystal in Art's hand, the dying guy seemed like a fish re-entering the water. suddenly came alive...

"Cough—cough—"

Art, who inhaled too hard, choked on the saliva and coughed violently. He gripped the magic crystal so hard that the corners almost stuck into his palm... But after the magic power slowly spread, he quickly returned to normal. Batty looked at all this indifferently, and said, "Continue."

Art sorted out his thoughts and began to tell the details of the whole battle. After hearing this, Batty's face was gloomy, and he didn't ask any more questions in the end. He waved them to heal the wound and eat. Countless magic circle trances.

Someone knocked on the round door of the tree house, Batty said "Come in", and a wood elf cautiously leaned in from outside: "The village chief...the last batch of things have been brought back."

The area of ​​the discovered ruins is not small, and there are naturally many things inside. Many of the most precious books and notes were in fragments, as ordinary paper would not survive in the humid forest environment. These collected by Batty are specially protected by spellcasting. So to this day I can flip through and read it. In addition to these things, there are many other items inside the ruins - from Batty's knowledge, he didn't know that this was a large laboratory with various experimental devices, but in line with the principle of "good things can't be left to others", He ordered a few of his confidants to keep carrying those items out, taking away what could be taken away, and smashing what could not be taken away.

This matter has been going on since he discovered the cave half a year ago, even if the weather is cold, he has to risk his life to do it. After all, a group of human mercenaries had discovered it during this period... And now, Batty can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Is there any sign of anyone else?"

"Village Chief, there are always a few mercenary groups wandering around recently..."

"That's just right... find a suitable time to get rid of them once and for all."

As Batty spoke, he took out more than ten pieces of magic crystals piled up in front of him: "I know you are always cautious in doing things, hold these and let them come and go."

"Yes, village chief!"

The colorful magic crystals are filled with extremely strong fluctuations. If it is a normal situation, so many magic crystals are placed together, the result is that the elemental fluctuations between each other will affect each other, and eventually lead to an explosion. But right now Batty casually put them into a pouch made of tree rattan, no matter how they were bumped or shaken, they didn't arouse any reaction.

The wood elf left and closed the wooden door with a "click". The wooden house fell into silence again, but at this time, the wood elves outside after practice could be vaguely heard arguing, and it didn't take long for the daily fights to occur. The sound insulation effect of the wooden walls is not good, and the thermal insulation conditions are also poor. Batty put on another leather jacket, sat there and continued to stare at the magic circle in front of him in a daze.

His expression seemed a little hesitant, because Batty had repeatedly drawn the magic circle for many days, and Batty now believed that his level had reached the level required in the notes, so he really wanted to try to activate it once.

Batty is now considered to be the most powerful wood elf besides Elsa village. His power has brought unimaginable authority, so much so that most of the wood elf villages in the entire Quiet Whispering Forest are now included in the scope of "rule"— — With force, it is natural to want to expand. And Elsa Village is a nail that "must be pulled out" in his eyes.

How to expand? So Batty began to recruit people from various villages,

He began to instill the words mentioned in the notebook into these thin wood elves—at first he just imitated, but when he spoke a lot, his thinking mode seemed to change accordingly. Up to now, Barty, who was still hesitant about "expansion", has become determined, but if he wants to really become the absolute commander, he knows that he must go further than these wood elves...

At present, these people can only cast spells through the magic crystal in their hands. If they don't have this "raw material", they are useless. Batty wanted to take his fate into his own hands, so he finally stood up and decided to activate the magic circle that he had drawn countless times.

Embedding the magic crystal in it, Batty carefully moved the slate magic circle taken out of the ruins outside the house.

He also knew what the result of failure would be, so after thinking about it, he took it to a hidden cave outside the village. In order not to be disturbed, he asked his most trusted subordinates to guard the outside and strictly prohibited anyone from entering.

"If there is any accident, let Tosta direct everything."

After a few simple explanations, he stepped into the cave and quickly completed the preparations, and directly activated the small formation.

The light was on, and Batty was overjoyed by the stable energy output. He clenched his fist secretly, then held a large magic crystal in his hand, and stood up directly!

For a moment, Batty felt his body being torn apart by the turbulent force. He tried to open his mouth wide to make a sound, but found that he had lost control of his body. Looking down, his body and limbs appeared translucent in the energy storm, and then completely fell apart!

Batty felt cold in his heart, he didn't know what was going on, but once the magic circle was opened, it couldn't be stopped at all, and before he could find a way to close it, the violent energy fluctuations completely occupied his thinking...

When consciousness came back again, Batty suddenly sat up from the cold ground. When he realized that he was naked, he instinctively wanted to find something to cover up, because Barty knew the consequences of hypothermia.

But a few seconds after stretching out his hand, he suddenly realized that he didn't feel cold. Batty looked at his arms in surprise, and suddenly shouted excitedly:

"I made it...I made it!"

*****

On the other side, Panda, who was descending from the cliff by the rope, kicked on the mountain wall in front of him and descended nearly 30 meters all the way, before he shouted: "Stop!"

There are also mountains in Jingyu Forest, but the highest point is only about 200 meters. Therefore, there are no majestic mountains, but this does not mean that there are no steep terrains—the location where Panda and the others are located is a very hidden "canyon".

This place is located on the inner side of the mountainside, and it looks normal from the outside, but if you walk in for a distance, you can find a gap like a miracle. The huge mountain here seems to be split by some kind of force. There is a gap five or six meters wide between the straight up and down cliffs. Panda followed the gap half way down from here and found the place in front of him. Shabby hole.

Panda looked left and right, there were many footprints in the place where he settled down, and there were also climbing marks on the mountain walls on both sides, indicating that someone had already climbed up before him. However, Panda was not surprised, after all, he found this location accurately based on the clues given by the mercenary Lu Di. Came here now, just to see if there is more about the legacy of the High Elves in it.

"Everyone come down one by one, and keep guards above!"

He directed a team of about forty people to enter the cave to explore. To ensure safety, naturally not all of them could enter. The team is divided into three groups, one group enters to explore, one group stays outside the cave, and one group stands guard above, and each group also has a rotating list to save energy.

This reassured everyone in the Ice Fist Mercenary Group. Originally, they were worried that this employer would "experts command experts". Now it seems that all the scheduling is reasonable, and they obviously look like veterans, so their performance is also very positive. In less than an hour, sixteen people came down below, and at the same time brought down various tools such as torches and pickaxes for exploration.
