Chapter 1222 The Weird Crystal Python
"I'm sorry, Mr. Klein, I can't answer this question yet, but my blood mosquito agent found some new clues in the crystal python's lair, which may help us solve the mystery." After finishing speaking, Joan went straight Walk towards the crystal python's lair.
Klein scratched his head blankly, but quickly made a decision, striding towards Joan, followed by Hylar, Audrey, Holden, and Scholz.
The crowd followed Joan into the depths of the tunnel and stopped in front of a big pit.
Joan paced slowly around the big pit, and said to Klein who followed, "When the blood mosquito first discovered the crystal python, it was entrenched in this pit."
The dwarf looked at the bottom of the pit and found that it was empty and there was no sign worthy of attention, so he asked Joan, "What did you mean by the new discovery?"
"Here, follow me."
Joan went around to the opposite side of the big pit, pointing to a winding tunnel leading to a further distance.
"Look carefully, there are scratches on the ground, extending along the tunnel." Joan pointed to the ground.
Klein leaned over to observe, nodded and said: "That's right, this is the trace left by the crystal python's ore carapace rubbing against the ground, indicating that the crystal python crawled through here not long ago, crawling towards the end of the tunnel."
Scholz came over, knelt down to join in observing the scratches on the surface, and came to a more thought-provoking conclusion.
"Brother Klein, there are more than one scratches on the ground, and the friction is in the opposite direction. It seems that the crystal python often shuttles back and forth in this tunnel."
"That's true. I'm curious about where this monster went after leaving its lair and going deep into the tunnel." Klein murmured, stroking his beard.
"This is exactly the question I want to answer." Joan stared at the deep tunnel in front of him, his eyes lighted up slightly, "By the way, Blood Mosquito Agent can still smell the bloody smell of dwarves, so he floated from the depths of the tunnel. come over."
"Can this prove that more than one crystal python participated in the massacre of the dwarf prospecting team?" Audrey first made a guess, and then added: "Of course, the bloody smell may also be left by the crystal python we destroyed just now Yes, after all it crawled back and forth in this tunnel."
"This question is still inconclusive. If we continue to explore the depths of the tunnel, we may find new clues." Joan replied in a low voice.
"It's also possible to bump into the crystal python, or even the mysterious person who created the crystal python." Audrey's face was serious.
"Although it's a bit risky, I support moving forward. Otherwise, even if I'm not killed by the crystal python or other monsters, I will be suffocated by my curiosity." Holden is still optimistic as always.
"No matter what you think, I won't turn back until I find the magic crystal mine!" Hailar's attitude was also very firm.
Seeing that everyone intends to move on, Audrey sighed lightly and didn't sing the opposite.
Qiao An issued a mental command to the Blood Mosquito spy, ordering it to explore the way ahead and keep a distance of about 100 yards between himself and the Blood Mosquito to ensure that in case of encountering the crystal python, he would have enough time to prepare for battle.
The invisible blood mosquito flew ahead, and Qiao An and his group of six followed behind. There were too many doubts in their hearts, and everyone was somewhat nervous. They just walked silently in the damp and dark tunnel, not interested in chatting.
After walking out for two hours, no abnormal signs were found. Klein noticed that the young man beside him was breathing heavily, and his face could hardly hide his fatigue, so he offered to stop for a rest, drink some water, and fill his stomach before continuing to explore.
Just as Joan was about to place the rosary on the campfire, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look deep into the tunnel, and his pupils shrank slightly.
"Joan, what did you find?" Audrey asked.
"Just now, a crystal python crawled out of the fork in front of it, and happened to pass by the blood mosquito." Joan replied in a low voice.
"It's coming towards us?" Audrey couldn't help but clenched the Morning Star Hammer tightly.
"No, the direction in which the crystal python is crawling is exactly the road we are going to take." Joan looked at the scratch marks on the rocks on the ground, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that this road is much more lively than I expected, and often There are more than one crystal python shuttle back and forth, no wonder the ground is rubbed extra smooth."
"The crystal pythons gathered in this tunnel from different places, where exactly are they going?" Holden's eyes were burning, "I suspect that at the end of this tunnel, something is calling for the crystal pythons, just like a A king who asked his subjects to go to the palace to pay him respects from time to time."
"If this is the case, Holden, the 'king' you imagined is probably the creator of all crystal pythons." Joan deduced a logical conjecture following the poet's idea.
"If we also join the ranks of meeting with that 'His Majesty the King', I hope he'd better not blame us for breaking into his palace without invitation." Hailar joked with a smile.
"Follow that crystal python, and with this 'enthusiastic' guide leading the way, we won't get lost in this labyrinthine cave." Klein made a decision.
Everyone had this intention, so they hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of dry food, packed their bags and continued on their way.
Joan ordered the Blood Mosquito spy to keep an eye on the crystal python that was crawling ahead, and he and his companions followed lightly.
Not long after walking, an empty cave appeared in front of it. The crystal python suddenly stopped, turned its head and looked behind it, and the threaded horns on the top of its head radiated an unusually bright blue light.
Through the eyes of the blood mosquito, Qiao An observed the strange shape of the crystal python, and quickly raised his hand to signal his companions to stop moving forward and not to make any noise.
Everyone hid in the shadows with their backs against the rock wall, holding their breath nervously, fearing that the crystal python would find out.
The crystal python slowly coiled into a snake formation in the cave, and then opened its mouth wide, as if yawning.
Qiao An observed the crystal python from the perspective of the blood mosquito, and inadvertently noticed the magic power fluctuations in the depths of the crystal python's wide-open throat, and couldn't help being slightly startled.
Is it an illusion?
Why is the magic net around the crystal python's mouth distorted, as if it is casting a spell?
Qiao An participated in the hunting of a crystal python not long ago, and had never seen it cast magic. He thought that creatures like crystal pythons did not have the ability to cast spells, but what happened to the scene in front of him?
Suddenly, Joan thought of a more reasonable explanation.
What can cause the magic net to twist is not necessarily magic, but also some kind of supernatural ability.
Perhaps Crystal Python sensed that there was someone stalking nearby, but couldn't determine where the other person was, so it planned to erupt a wave of "Ore Storm" indiscriminately around itself, trying to force out the stalker hiding in the dark?
If this crystal python really has such a plan, Joan has to admit that this guy is much smarter than the crystal python they killed not long ago!
