Broad World

Chapter Nine Deep in the Cave

The lunch time ended with the dwarf's revelations about Henry's childhood. Zeti looked at Henry with a smile on her face. Just now the dwarf narrated the representative glorious history of him going to the house to block the chimney at the age of three, and setting fire to his hair at the age of five. From the proficiency point of view, it is obvious that this is not the first time.

Henry felt that his face was a little hot. The work experience in the society for more than ten years before traveling was obviously not enough to cope with the current situation. Being stared at by the female druid made her feel a little dizzy. After dinner, the cave exploration team packed up their luggage and returned the carriage to the old man when they passed by Brown Farm. The cargo on the cart is also stored in the barn.

The sun was just after noon, and the three came to the entrance of the cave. The internal organs of the bugs that were disposed of yesterday were thrown into a pit and buried. But there is always a strange smell around. Cagan found a tree and tied the rope and climbed down the cave, followed by Zetty and Henry last.

"From now on, it's forbidden to speak or make any sound. All communication is done in sign language. Be as gentle as possible. Don't give the bugs any chance to find us." After going down into the cave, Henry set the main tone for this operation, that is, secret sneak into. After the other two nodded to express their understanding, the Light Art was blessed to each of their weapons. Jedi have zero vision, so it doesn't matter if you have more blessings. Although the half-elf lady has night vision ability, the light can still bring a lot of sense of security to people living on the surface.

After entering the cave, the female druid walked at the forefront, followed by Cagan, and Henry was at the end. Slowly start exploring in depth. About ten meters ahead, the cave forked. On the left is a circular hall, in which there are many secret numb eggs. Zedi turned her head and mouthed to tell the two people behind that the hatching room was full of burrower eggs. Then the crowd walked to the right and continued on.

After advancing for more than 40 meters, the cave suddenly opened up, and everyone found that it was like entering a hall. The ground was strewn with the bones and corpses of humans and other animals. Adventurers' armor and weapons were strewn about. Henry also found a pile of gold coins in a corner. This is supposed to be where the bugs store and feed. The three of them exchanged mouth shapes and decided to kill all the bugs inside before tidying up these things.

After passing through the hall, the road leading to the deepest part began to become narrower and narrower, and it came to an end after a few minutes. Seeing the scene in front of her, Zedi's pupils shrank rapidly, and five huge bugs were lying on the ground. Among them, the jaw of the largest worm was one-third larger than that of the other worms, and the color of its body was no longer ordinary green, but dark green.

This is no longer an ordinary digger. A normal Jedi can only spit acid once every six hours, but the one in front of him has obviously evolved into a bug king who can spray acid multiple times. Thankfully it's sleeping now. The two people behind also obviously noticed the abnormality of this bug.

The three of them retreated slowly in a very tacit understanding, until they retreated to the food storage room before they breathed a sigh of relief. "What should I do, that insect king is obviously difficult to deal with. The passage is so narrow that there is no way to avoid the sprayed acid." Jiedi asked softly. It's far enough from here to speak softly.

"Let's concentrate the toxin to kill it first, and now there are three javelins that will be soaked in the body immediately. After a while, I will send a signal and throw them at his jaw together. Then drink the speed potion and quickly retreat here to prepare spells for frontal combat." Henry immediately formulated a viable battle plan. The dwarf immediately agreed.

"Okay, this is the end of the matter and there is nothing else to do. Now start to poison the tip of the spear." After finishing speaking, the female druid took the javelin off her back, took a deep breath, held her breath and opened the gun. The bottle is evenly poured onto the tip of the pipette. Henry and Cagan also learned to start smearing their breasts.

Arriving at the entrance of the insect king's cave again, the three of them looked at each other, opened the speed potion and drank it. This is a powerful potion that can double the movement speed, attack speed, and casting speed for thirty seconds. After drinking the potion, Henry quickly raised the javelin and started counting down with his fingers. Three, two, one.

"Swish, whoosh" the sound of the javelin passing through the air awakened the bugs. The insect king stood up vigilantly, and "poof" three javelins pierced his soft abdomen. "Crack, crack, crack." The severe pain made it scream. The other bugs also woke up one after another and crawled towards the crowd. "Run!" Henry yelled and got into the passage first. It was the dwarf and the druid who also realized that the situation was not good, turned around and started running wildly.

Henry ran into the hall first, then took a deep breath and began to prepare to chant spells. Just as the spell was ready, the dwarves and druids behind also ran in. The "greasing technique" grease immediately covered the entrance of the hall. Cagan picked up his shield and axe and stared down the tunnel. The female druid also started singing and entered a state of concentration on casting spells. After successfully casting the greasy spell, Henry began to chant the next spell.

Before the second spell was completed, the worms behind rushed out of the tunnel, and the one in front was the green and black worm king. "Boom..." The insect king's huge body slipped to the ground and tripped the other insects that followed. The second spell of "Entanglement" was released immediately, and countless weeds grew on the greasy ground, tightly binding the slender and pointed legs of the digger.

Henry was slightly taken aback when he found that Zeti's spell hadn't been completed yet. At least a level 4 divine spell. The higher the level of spells and divine spells, the more powerful they are, but the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, the longer the singing time, the more spell interpretation gestures.

The spell of the half-elf lady "Ice Storm" was finally completed. Huge magical hailstones fell within ten meters around her. "Damn it, you should remind us." The dwarf who was almost hit hard yelled and quickly backed away. Henry survived by standing relatively far back. The worm door trapped in place is not so lucky. Huge chunks of ice hit the worm's slender legs. The sound of breaking is endless.

After the freezing, Henry began to prepare the spell again. Before the worms could feel the cold, a burning hand brought them into the ice and fire. The grease and the weeds were all set on fire. The two worms began to struggle to stand up. Acid was sprayed at Cagan. The dwarf blocked the spray with a shield, and after seeing the rapid corrosion of the shield, the dwarf decisively chose to discard it.

Zeti discovered that the bugs still had the ability to fight back, and began to chant spells again. The insect king suddenly stood up and rushed towards the half-elf who was preparing to explain the spell. Cagan found that it was not good to directly block the way of the worm king. Huge jaws slammed into the dwarf, and Cagan tried to avoid the worm's head but the legs were pierced by sharp feet. "Ah, you damn worm. Let me show you how powerful a dwarf warrior is." Cagan swung his ax and broke the worm's leg that stabbed him, rolling to the side. The insect king, who was missing one leg, lost his balance and fell to the ground. Black poisonous blood began to flow from its chest. The toxins have kicked in.

Jiedi's spell was completed, and it was another level 4 spell to summon animals at level 1. Two huge wolves were summoned. Let out bursts of low growls. The simple command of "up" caused the hungry wolf to start besieging the insects that were not yet dead. Seeing that the dwarf was injured, Henry hurried over, "Kagan, are you all right?"

"Fortunately, it only penetrated the muscle and didn't hurt the bone." The old dwarf's painful lips trembled.

"Hold on, I'll pull it out." He tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes and handed it to Cagan for him to bite to prevent biting his tongue.

"One, two, three." Henry pulled hard. "Ah," Cagan screamed. At this time, the female druid also came over and used divine magic to make some water to simply clean the wound. Casting a healing medium damage, the huge wound quickly became smaller. The dwarf took out a bottle of the potion for minor wounds that Henry gave him a few days ago and drank it, and the wound healed completely. It's just that his face is pale and he has lost too much blood.

"Thank you for saving me just now." Jiedi was very moved by the dwarf warrior's selflessness.

Cagan smiled boldly and said, "Haha, I just did what a soldier should do, but that damn bug almost killed me. Are they all dead?"

"They're all dead. Didn't you see that the summoned wolves stopped attacking?" Henry said, pointing to the two idle wolves full of green juice.

"Then let's take an inventory of the valuable things in this hall." Said Cagan and stood up. Start picking around. "What an old money junkie." The half-elf expressed dissatisfaction with Cagan's way of asking for money rather than his life. It wasn't long before the other two began to search the entire hall, picking up valuables and stacking them together.

After 20 minutes of hard work, everyone gathered what they found together. There are about 600 gold coins in cash, two magic scrolls with level 3 spells of violent charm and spirit armor. A bottle of magic potion has been identified as the Genting Giant's Strange Power Potion, a powerful potion that can temporarily increase the power to 23 after drinking it. A piece of enchanted chain mail is stronger and less prone to wear and tear than ordinary mail. A magic dagger is harder and sharper than a normal dagger. Finally, a powerful fireball staff with a staff, although there are only seven rounds left in it.

After a brief discussion, Henry got two scrolls and a fireball staff, Cagan got a chainmail dagger and a magic potion, and the gold coins were shared equally between the two. Zeti took nothing. The other two said that they were exempted from the 00 gold coin reward after the task was over. Everyone is happy. After the distribution, everyone peeled off the bug shells, tied them with ropes and dragged them back to the ground.

After sending the two to the gate of Brown's farm, the half-elf druid said goodbye to Henry and Cagan before turning and leaving. Pushing open the door of Brown's house, he saw that the old man had just prepared dinner. A big pot of stewed chicken, some smoked fish. There are also big-name mashed potatoes and a small pot of bread.

"It smells so good, I'm starving to death. Brown, you don't know how bad our lunch is. That elf only gave us fruit for lunch." The dwarf began to complain about the dismal lunch while drooling.

"Oh my God, what is that?" Old Brown was taken aback by the huge head thrown at the door.

"King of the diggers, Cagan was almost killed by this guy today." Henry simply explained to Old Brown and went to the dinner table to start eating. —————————————————————————————————
