Chapter 452 Underground Cave!
Witt's "big night light" was not turned off. After all, it could illuminate the surrounding environment to some extent.
As for whether such a problem would be exposed, there was no need to consider it so much.
They came here to clean up the abyss beasts and abyss believers. If they could attract them to their front, Witt and his team would be more than happy.
What's more, the number of abyss beasts is huge. If they really want to monitor the situation in the underground cave, it couldn't be simpler. Whether they will be discovered or not depends not on them, but on whether the other party wants to.
To be honest, it's a bit passive.
Of course, it would be best to sneak into the abyss beast's lair without being discovered.
After all, although the possibility is small, there is still a possibility of escape.
After reaching the bottom of the gully, Closhil took Witt and his team to fly towards the location of the cave entrance in his memory.
Along the way, Witt did not see any traces of the abyss beast's activities.
But the unique strange rocks formed by the erosion of the wind around him opened Witt's eyes.
Ilaiya looked at Witt, who looked like he was on a trip, and was speechless, but a flash of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.
Although he was not as smart as Witt, he was once as curious about the surroundings as Witt.
Unconsciously, Ilaiya began to look at Witt again.
Antasa, who noticed this, was helpless and speechless.
I should have thought that if Witt and Ilaiya acted together, the latter would probably be like this.
Fortunately, the cave entrance mentioned by Closhil soon appeared in front of them, which made Witt and Ilaiya, whose minds were gradually drifting away, finally collect their minds.
Witt, who came back to his senses, looked at the cave entrance not far ahead, and a flash of regret flashed in his eyes.
Drifting!
He was distracted while performing a dangerous mission and admiring the surrounding scenery.
Of course, he also knew that this had a lot to do with Antasa and Ilaiya around him, but this was not a reason for him not to be serious.
After a profound review, Witt began to carefully observe the cave in front of him.
It is 300 meters wide and no more than 100 meters high, and the space inside the cave is very large.
Looking at its structure, it is not difficult to guess that this should have been a melt cave formed by underground water flow, and then exposed with the appearance of wind erosion gullies.
After entering the cave, the light from outside could not come in, and there was no light source inside, making the surrounding space darker.
Fortunately, the dragon has good eyesight, and Witt's chest provides light source.
It does not affect the sight of the dragons.
Inside the cave, the rock surface is smooth, with few edges and corners, and there are traces of water erosion on the rock wall.
However, judging from the dryness of the air, there has been no water here for a long time.
In addition, the cave is connected in all directions. No matter which direction you look, it is either empty or has a dark hole, and no one knows where it leads to.
Seeing this, the dragons turned their heads to look at Closhil.
The latter understood and led the way in front.
Since a fight could break out at any time, the atmosphere was somewhat depressing. Apart from the sound of breathing and flapping wings echoing in this empty cave, there was no other sound.
Witt was carefully looking around, trying to find some clues.
But as Closhil had said before, although the other party was restless, they were still cautious, and there were no traces of abyssal beasts around.
As time passed, the four dragons continued to go deeper, and the air around them gradually became moist, and stalactites even appeared in some places.
These stalactites appeared a long time ago, and they were all dry.
However, as Witt and his team continued to go deeper, the sound of water dripping began to be heard in the cave.
Stalactites began to appear in pieces.
Suddenly, the dragons stopped and looked to the left at the same time.
A dragon scale engraved with a magic circle appeared in Witt's hand.
After activating the magic circle, Witt raised his paw to signal Antasa and the others to come over.
This magic circle was the shielding magic circle that Witt had used in the ruins passage before.
It can shield their breath, voice and element fluctuations. Although it cannot hide the body, it is enough in such a complex environment.
"The sound of water dripping over there is not right!"
After the three dragons entered the range covered by the magic circle, Witt spoke.
Ilaiya nodded.
"It sounds more viscous, but..."
At this point, Ilaiya frowned and looked at Antashya.
"Did you sense any abnormal breath?"
Antashya shook her head, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
She also heard the abnormality in the sound. Closhil had said before that when the horn-toothed swimmer was wandering, there would be sticky liquid dripping on the ground, so when this sound appeared, she immediately became alert.
Of course, Antashya, like other dragons, did not use mental power to spy. Some dragon beasts are very sensitive to mental power, and she was afraid that the abyss beast also had such ability.
In order not to alert the enemy, she only sensed it from a distance, but did not sense any abnormal breath.
"Mistaken?"
"Guessing is useless. I'll go check it out!"
As he spoke, Witt threw the magic circle in his hand to Antasa, and he took out another one, activated it, and flew in the direction of the sound.
Where the sound came from was a large stalactite forest.
Because of the light on his chest, Witt flew very carefully.
When he got close, Witt frowned.
There was still only the sound of the viscous liquid dripping regularly, and there was no other movement, such as breathing.
After finding a wide stalactite as a hiding place, Witt poked his head out and carefully checked it, but was stunned for a moment.
Then, Witt waved his claws at Antasa and the others.
And he flew directly out.
As Witt approached, the scene in the stalactite forest appeared in front of the dragons.
Most of the stalactites were normal white, but the few stalactites in the center were purple, and a faint abyss breath emanated from the stalactites.
The viscous purple droplets dripped from the tip of the stalagmite above and dripped on the stalagmite below, contributing to its growth.
At the root of the stalagmite above, there was an irregular purple-black stone embedded in the top of the rock.
"It's the Abyss!"
After saying that, Witt paused, and then said helplessly: "Moreover, they seem to have more tricks. If we ignore them, this place will become a new source of infection by the power of the Abyss in a few decades or hundreds of years.
The most important thing is that there must be more than one similar arrangement.
And this is the Windy Hills!"
Ilaiya and Antasa looked a little ugly.
Witt's meaning was very clear. Such arrangements were likely to be spread throughout the underground cave system of the Windy Hills. It would not be a simple matter to clean them up, even for the Sky City.
