Chapter 707
Chapter 707
Outside the city, on the crude man-made road to the east, Elena and her group were struggling to make their way.
The road was built too roughly. Basically, there were only a few pillars inserted on the cliff, and then a few super long chains were placed on it. People could only step on the chains and sway, and they would fall forever.
God knows how many people fell off the cliff for mining. If they fell from this distance, there would be no other means to save them.
Fortunately, Elena and her group were well-trained. They could move freely even on the chains, and they would not fall from them as long as they were not disturbed by others.
Xiaoyue, who was good at moving in various extreme environments, stood upside down on the chains, with her head down and her black hair hanging down, which looked particularly thrilling.
But it was very easy for Xiaoyue. She was just showing off her skills. Even if she fell, she would have a way to save herself, and she had no pressure at all.
Others looked inexplicably angry and really wanted to kick her down, but this kind of thing was definitely not allowed.
Elena walked in the front, alert for things that could happen at any time. After walking two steps, he couldn't help but look back and look at Sophia, who was standing in the middle of the team with her hands behind her back.
Sophia, who noticed her sight, tilted her head and smiled. Her smile was quite sweet and looked very tempting.
But Elena's veins popped up when he saw it. He really wanted to kick this guy out of here to prevent future troubles.
But obviously this kind of thing can't be done. Elena could only resist the impulse in his heart and walk in front, forcing himself to calm down.
Soon everyone came to the first marked cave. There was a wooden sign inserted at the entrance of the cave, and the corresponding marks were engraved on the wall, which guided the visitors to identify the direction very well.
Before entering the cave, people could smell the strong smell of monsters inside. As Grayman said, after humans stopped moving here, the monsters in the cave became quite active.
Although this was originally their home, the humans were the invaders.
The cave was very dark. Elena snapped her fingers and a holy light ball rose up. Sophia, who was standing by, couldn't help but squinted her eyes. She was very curious about Elena's method.
Ever since Elena took Elena and the others away from the church's territory, Sophia went to learn more about Elena's situation.
She also learned some information from a traitor, Old White Dragon. This young man named Elena seemed to have some secrets, and it was related to the White Dragon Clan, which had been quiet recently.
The White Dragon Clan had a great affinity with the church. After all, the legendary God of Light traveled with the White Dragon.
After entering the cave, everyone soon saw the first monster. A turtle with a rock shell was lying on the ground and gnawing at the rocks.
Even if they saw humans approaching, they didn't seem to want to react. They stretched their heads and kept gnawing at the exposed rocks beside the cave. The sound of the crunching sounded like they were eating with great relish.
"What a good monster, it's not afraid of people. It's rare."
Shirley walked over and patted the back of the rock turtle, and even reached out to touch the rough flesh of the rock turtle. No matter how she tossed it, it ignored people and just ate its food wholeheartedly.
This reminded her of Elena in the morning, and she felt that she was very similar to the rock turtle in front of her.
"The meat doesn't look very delicious. It feels like it will be hard to bite."
Shirley observed carefully and came to this subtle conclusion. It really doesn't look like it can be bitten.
"It's already so late and you still want to eat it. Don't just want to bite a few monsters when you see them."
Michelle hit Shirley's head in annoyance. This guy is really poisoned by monster food. The first thing he sees when he sees a monster is not how dangerous the other party is, but whether the other party is delicious.
"It's just ordinary rocks on its body. There is no ore worth using. There is no need to attack them."
Elena carefully identified the shell of the rock turtle. The rocks growing on it were all ordinary stones with no use value.
Maybe some rare individuals will have rare minerals, but at least these rock turtles at the entrance of the cave do not have them.
"According to the miners, these rock turtles are friendly monsters. They will not attack humans and will warn of danger. If the cave is about to collapse or there are extremely aggressive monsters, they will judge that there is a threat and will immediately run away, and they can even run with people on their backs.
So don't think about hurting these monsters, even if the meat is delicious, these monsters can sometimes be the lives of those miners."
Michelle said sternly. As the daughter of a hunter, she knew very well how beneficial some beasts were to humans. HuntingGenerally, they would avoid these existences to avoid them from backlashing in the future.
"I understand. I'll remember it."
Shirley said in a somewhat depressed mood. She originally wanted to taste it. Even if it didn't taste good, it would satisfy her curiosity.
But since Michelle had said so, she didn't mean to deliberately make her teammates angry. She honestly turned her eyes away from the rock turtle and followed Elaina's footsteps into the depths of the cave.
The front half of the cave had obviously been fully developed. Basically, no minerals could be seen. Ordinary iron ore could not be seen. At most, some ore waste could be seen.
Even monsters didn't live here much. After all, there were no edible ores, so they naturally had to build nests deeper.
The further you go inside, the less smooth the air circulation becomes. When there are too many people, you may even feel a lack of oxygen. Working in such an environment is somewhat torturous.
"Wait."
Halfway through the walk, Elena stretched out his hand to signal everyone to stop. He walked to the rock wall beside him and touched it. He shone the Holy Light Orb over it and could vaguely see a series of scratches.
It was hard to tell whether the marks were new or old, but judging from the remaining breath on it, the creature that left the claw marks should have passed by here recently.
"Draw your weapons. There may be monsters lurking nearby. Everyone, get alert."
Elena had changed his laziness in the morning. After having something to do, he quickly got into the state. To some extent, he was indeed the kind of person who was not suitable for idleness. Being busy seemed to be the most suitable state for him.
Everyone became serious after hearing Elena's words. Only Sofia looked at everyone with interest. She had no intention of taking action and wanted to observe the team's cooperation.
Keeping quiet all the way forward, people with keen senses could already hear the movement from the walls around them. There were creatures moving among the rocks, lurking and preparing to attack Elena and his group.
Irina didn't like being passive in combat, so he raised his magic pistol and shot at the wall. The penetrating ammunition penetrated the rock formation and hit the monster behind it.
