Chapter 497 A Terrible Discovery!

Even after death, even the remaining wooden piles are more than two hundred meters high. Just the root system protruding from the ground covers an area of ​​dozens of miles.

This shows how magnificent this big tree was when it was alive.

And for such a tree to stand firmly on the ground, what size should its root system hidden underground be?

Witte could not imagine the scale of the tree roots, but he knew that according to the data given by Boredia, the possible depth of Cave No. 1 was about five thousand meters.

In Cave No. 1, after the death of this giant tree, the root system rotted and shrank, but the root shell was relatively hard, eventually forming a cave system with the giant tree's root system as the main body.

It can be said that this cave is the most complex of the three caves in the Evernight Forest, and it is also the one where Abyss believers are most likely to hide.

"call--"

Looking at the hole under the tree trunk that had decayed over time, Werther let out a sigh of relief and turned to look at Celine.

"I'll go first, you follow, and always pay attention to what's going on behind you."

Seeing Celine nodding, Werther took the lead and flew towards the inside of the cave. Although the entrance was a little smaller, it was only compared to an adult dragon.

For Werther and the others, not to mention flying, even air combat is more than enough.

However, just when Werther flew to the entrance and was about to go in, his expression couldn't help but change.

The entrance was tilted at a relatively large angle. When he got closer, he could see clearly that there were dense scratches everywhere. It was obvious that something had escaped from inside.

There is a high probability that it is a fallen dragon beast, and a small probability is that it is an abyssal beast.

Because there is a faint aura of the power of the abyss on those claw marks.

"Trouble!"

Celine flew over and after seeing those claw marks, she couldn't help but said in a deep voice.

Witte thought for a moment, but shook his head.

"These things should not have escaped yet. There are no traces of the fallen dragon beasts and abyss beasts outside, although I don't know why.

The biggest problem now is that there are indeed traces of the abyss in it. "

This cave is different from other caves.

Other caves were formed over time, and the rock formations formed underground spaces for various reasons.

As for this cave, as the giant tree grew, it gradually took root. The roots penetrated the rock formations and forced their way deep into the cave. After the giant tree died, the outer shell of the root system supported the cave.

It seems quite solid, but when there is a problem with the root shell, it will inevitably cause a series of collapse reactions.

Now, I am afraid that many root shells inside the cave have been infected by the power of the abyss.

If it is not cleaned up, the power of the abyss will continue to infect in all directions, but if it is cleaned up, it will definitely destroy the root shell.

It can be said that this cave is the cave where Witte least expects to discover the power of the abyss, apart from the treasures and ruins.

But contrary to expectations, not only was there the power of the abyss, but the abyssal beasts inside began to try to run upward. This was obviously a bad situation in which the abyss believers were recalled and the abyssal beasts were abandoned.

However, whether this is the case or not, Werther needs to go in and confirm in person.

Thinking of this, Werther glanced at Celine, and then continued flying downwards.

Because it is a cave formed by the roots of a giant tree.

The interior of the cave is naturally just like the roots, it is so complicated that it is impossible to describe its twists and turns.

But fortunately, tree roots are not without their benefits.

Based on the growth pattern of the tree's root system, Witte and the others can easily determine the main trunk and branches of the root system.

After entering the cave, Werther did not go deep immediately, but looked around.

There is not only one way in the cave.

One of them is diagonally facing downwards, and the other is facing upwards. Moreover, the passage facing upwards has obvious signs of getting thicker.

The main roots of trees are not connected to each other.

According to the information given by Boredia, there is a place in this giant tree that can lead to the passages formed by all the main roots.

If nothing else, if you fly along the top, you will soon be able to reach that space.

But Werther still didn't move, and instead took out the alchemy pen.

"Celine, please keep an eye on the surrounding area. I'll set up a magic circle here."

Hearing this, Celine nodded and then flew around.

Seeing this, Werther began to carve.

The hardness of the shell of the giant tree's root system is not weaker than the scales of an adult dragon. Otherwise, it would not be able to support this huge underground cave system.

Therefore, there is no problem in using this thing as the carrier of the magic array.

The complexity of this cave far exceeds Werther's imagination.

Therefore, he planned to block all the exits to the ground in this cave with magic circles to prevent Abyss Beasts or Fallen Dragon Beasts from running out when he was exploring one of the main roots.

As for the idea of ​​​​carving a magic circle, there are three main aspects.

First, violently kill the magic circle and try to eliminate the abyssal beasts trying to escape.

Second, block the magic circle to prevent any fish that slip through the net from escaping.

Third, the protective magic circle. Although the Abyss Beast and the Fallen Dragon Beast are irrational, the magic circle is also a fragile thing. If it is slightly damaged, the entire magic circle may fail.

Therefore, the protective magic circle not only needs to protect the magic circuit, but also needs to prevent the infection of the power of the abyss.

Of course, it is impossible to stop it completely, just buy some time.

In addition, all these magic arrays are arranged in the form of alchemical magic arrays, because alchemical magic arrays have an advantage, that is, the magic core can be realized in the form of magic arrays.

In this way, there is no need to worry about the exhaustion of the elemental power in the magic core.

With a formed idea, coupled with Witte's high level, he soon drew a complete composite magic array.

Putting away the alchemy pen, Witte nodded with satisfaction.

"Celine, the magic array is arranged, let's go up!"

After Celine heard the voice and came back, Witte and Celine flew up along the passage.

Soon, they came to a dark and wide space.

With the illumination of the "big night light" on Witte's chest, the two dragons easily took in the situation of this space.

The space is an irregular cylindrical shape, and the air exudes a stronger smell of decay. Above is an irregular top covered with rotten wood thorns.

Below was also a rugged, rotten wooden ground with dark holes everywhere. Each hole might represent a main root cave.

If nothing unexpected happened, they were now inside the giant tree.

But they didn't expect that the 200-meter wooden pile, which looked strong on the outside, was basically rotten inside.

In a few hundred years, it would probably be completely rotten, leaving only the tough shell!

"Witt, over there!"
