Chapter 735: The Monster in the Cave

Seeing the old blind man leading the huge monster towards his observation point, Joan had a vague premonition.

However, curiosity prompted him to keep watching.

The observation point of the "Eagle Eye Technique" is just an invisible ball shaped by magic power, which is not so easy to be found, and even less easy to be destroyed.

Taking a step back, even if the observation point is destroyed, he will not be hurt.

After all, his body is one mile away, and what is relying on the observation point is just a wisp of consciousness.

It's not a big deal to stay a little longer and take another look.

The monster behind the old blind man had been digging the tunnel with his back to the observation point.

The blurred back looks like a deformed giant with long hands and short legs, and a hunchback.

At this moment, it came towards him, and Joan was able to see his face clearly.

I was surprised to find that although the torso and limbs of this monster basically conformed to the structure of the human body and walked upright like a human being, the subtleties of its physiological structure showed more characteristics of Coleoptera insects.

The thick brown chitin carapace was integrated into one piece, completely covering the monster's torso.

The carapace with rounded lines looks smooth at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find that there are clusters of dense brown bristles growing on the surface of the carapace, like countless small brushes.

These fine hairs vibrate slightly under the blowing of the airflow, obviously they are sensory organs with a keen sense of touch, just like the spell effect of "vibration perception".

The monster's arms and legs are arthropods, also covered with carapaces and bristles.

There are four fingers on each palm, and the tips of the claws are curved like hooks, looking like a pair of powerful iron rakes.

The spine line is high and bulged, and it appears to be severely hunchbacked. It seems to be clumsy when walking, but it is not slow.

As the monster got closer to the observation point, Joan gradually saw its weird appearance.

The monster's head resembled an insect, and Joan could see the characteristics of at least two types of insects from its face.

A pair of "beetle"-like tentacles are raised on the forehead, which is also a sensory organ suitable for dark environments.

The strong lower jaw resembles a "bug armor" and can be opened and closed. It looks like sharp pliers when it is opened, and it looks like a shovel when it is closed. It can easily pinch off prey by the middle, or use it to dig sand, gravel and soil.

Judging from the ice debris stuck to the jaws, this monster indeed used its huge and hard jaws as a digging tool to forcibly cut through the rock formations and solid ice, and dug out such a huge tunnel with its own strength.

The strangest part of this monster's face was the eyes.

What may appear to be puffy and puffy eyelids at first glance are actually chitinous outer lids.

Joan guessed that when it buried its head in digging the tunnel, it would probably close its outer eyelids, like closing a gate to prevent the flying sand and dust from entering its eyes.

The monster walked right under the observation point created by the "Eagle Eye Technique", raised its head, and opened its double eyelids one after another, revealing a pair of small and bright eyes, staring straight at the observation point.

The moment Joan made eye contact with it, he immediately felt a strange magic power transmitted along the invisible bridge built by the eyes of both sides.

This magical power that distorts the mind can actually penetrate through the observation point, affect Qiao An's body, invade the depths of his consciousness, and make his thinking gradually become chaotic.

Joan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!

Before the mind was completely confused, he almost instinctively withdrew from the observation point, and his consciousness returned to the body that was a mile away.

"Joan? Joan! Are you okay?"

"Your face is so ugly, is there something uncomfortable?"

The call from the ear seemed very familiar, but Qiao An couldn't remember the other party's name.

In fact, at the moment he couldn't even remember his own name.

There was chaos in my mind, and countless pieces of thinking were mixed together, making it difficult to sort out the clues.

Qiao An opened her eyes blankly, staring blankly at the two beautiful faces in front of her who were obviously very friendly but couldn't name them for a while, hesitated for a long time, and then tried to ask.

"who are you?"

"What is this place?"

"Why am I here?"

Hailar and Audrey were frightened by his series of questions, and couldn't help but look at each other, the concern in their eyes quickly turned into deep worry.

"My friend, you have just raised some good questions that deserve to be explored in depth."

Holden squeezed over from his sister, hugged Joan, and patted him on the shoulder, intending to calm him down first, and then slowly find a way to help him regain his sobriety.

Evelyn looked at Joan's abnormal mental state intently from the side, and seemed to see the clues. She raised her hand and made a series of gestures, chanting the spell in a low voice.

The magical radiance of "Stable Mind" spread out from the hands of the sorceress, and quickly enveloped Joan.

As if a bucket of cold water was suddenly poured on his head, Qiao An shivered, waking up like a dream, and his eyes quickly regained clarity.

Thinking back to the mysterious monster I saw in the depths of the mine just now, and the experience of insanity after looking at it briefly, I couldn't help but feel my scalp tingle.

Holden noticed that Joan's eyes had regained consciousness from sluggishness, he took a long breath, hugged his shoulder vigorously, and scolded with a smile: "What are you doing, kid? You scared us to death!"

Joan still needed some time to sort out his thoughts, but he just shook his head and smiled wryly, without making a sound.

"Mr. Vader, it seems that he was under some kind of mind-disturbing spell just now." Evelyn said thoughtfully.

"The spirit is indeed disturbed, but I'm not sure if it's a spell, or a supernatural force."

Joan took a deep breath, and under the concerned gaze of Audrey, Hyrule, Holden, and Evelyn, she described in detail the strange scenes she had just witnessed in the depths of the mine.

After hearing his narration, Hailaer and the Zion siblings looked surprised and confused, and the mysteries in their minds were no less than Joan's.

"So, what exactly are the troglodytes digging?"

Hailaer couldn't help thinking about it.

"The ice layer that Joan saw in the underground mine, could there be gems and other good things frozen in it!"

"'Sister Cai Fan', I can understand your eagerness to get rich, but I have to say that your imagination is still a bit weak."

Holden stroked his chin, criticizing Hailar's conjecture.

"Can gemstones be mined from underground glaciers? You think about it yourself, does this conform to realistic logic?"

"Well, it's really not very reliable, so what do you think?" the female swordsman asked in disbelief.

"Joan just said that the underground glacier was probably an underground lake in prehistoric times. Based on this reasoning, I think that the glaciers formed by the condensation of lake water are more likely to contain aquatic organisms from ancient times."

"Such as frozen ancient fish and shrimp?"

Hailar sneered.

"Your analysis is indeed more realistic, but I don't see any imagination in it!"

"Besides the frozen fish and shrimp, maybe there are other creatures," Holden smiled slightly, "like an ancient white dragon hibernating in the glacier, how about it?"
