Annihilated Lilith

Chapter 41 41. Secret Search and Rescue (3)

This deep well seems to lead all the way to the bottom of the holy mountain. After walking for a long time, there are exactly the same spiral stairs, going down around the rock wall, like a bottomless pit.

Until a certain moment, the rock wall that everyone had been holding on to with their hands suddenly changed its texture and turned into neat stone bricks.

Although they were always sure that the stairs were man-made, when the brick wall appeared, everyone's faces were shocked and they exchanged glances with each other.Does this mean the bottom of the well is approaching?
"Get out your wands and weapons."

Lady Raven drew her wand as she ordered softly.There was an unsettling red glow around her wand. It wasn't the usual fire magic, but something more destructive.

"If you encounter danger later, don't panic, and don't leave my back."

Going further down, the crudely made stone steps suddenly became neat and turned into a smooth marble material.Walking along the winding marble stairs, I always feel that even if there is any building next, it is normal.

Finally, the surging darkness was close at hand and clearly visible.

It was a shapeless, ever-changing, materialized darkness.It was like a mass of too thick fog, and also like a mass of dark water, it was impossible to see through it anyway.

After Ms. Raven tried to attack it a few times, she found that it didn't respond or take any damage.So she chanted a few spells, cast a thin layer of protection on her hands, and then tried to use her hands to pass through the darkness.

Although I felt a little resistance, the palm passed through smoothly.

"Is this..."

Ms. Ruiwen's face was serious, as if she had some ideas about the origin of this thing.

"Do you know this... black thing? Ms. Ruiwen." Katarina asked, she is very interested in the black magic elective course, and it would be great to seize the opportunity to impress the teacher, Ms. Ruiwen of.

Hayward on the side tried to chop the black mist with a warhammer, but he just felt a stagnation in his hand, and a sharp gap appeared on the edge of the darkness for a very short time, and then he quickly returned to the whole body and continued to slowly change the irregular shape .

"It's just a guess, and I haven't actually seen it... Let's find someone first, and we'll talk about it when we go back."

As soon as the words fell, Ms. Ruiwen actually walked into the darkness.The remaining three people looked at each other in blank dismay, and after a while, they remembered her exhortation of "must follow closely", and hurriedly followed.

To describe it, the feeling of walking into this darkness is like walking through a ball of jelly.If the jelly is thinner and can breathe in it.

Fireball magic can only illuminate a distance of less than one meter in this darkness, but under the illumination of multiple fireballs, you can barely see the walls and the marble steps under your feet, so your safety is still guaranteed, so you won't stumble and fall.

The entire crossing process took a total of 5 minutes, but the actual feeling was much longer. After all, the resistance and sense of unknown were too strong, which made people extremely uncomfortable.

As soon as they "saw the light again", everyone saw Hua Zheng at the bottom of the deep well.She lay quietly on the stone floor, not knowing whether she was dead or alive.

"Hua Zheng!"

Emma exclaimed, with joy in her voice, she stumbled and searched for a long time on the holy mountain, and finally completed this arduous task.

Ms. Ruiwen and Hayward remained vigilant, while Emma and Katarina stepped forward to investigate Huazheng's situation.

She seemed to have fallen from the top, although the deep well was ridiculously high, but the jelly-like darkness acted as a buffer, only causing multiple fractures on her body.In short, he is still alive and breathing.

Emma and Katarina helped Huazheng up, patted her face lightly, and called her name.

Hua Zheng wakes up leisurely.Seeing Emma, ​​she burst into tears.

"Senior Green! Are you here to save me?"

"Yeah, otherwise are you here for tourism?" Hayward rolled his eyes and said.

"Hua Zheng, tell me the truth, did you go to the holy mountain to look for your so-called holy beast?"

Emma said with a cold face.What an audacity of the new apprentice to cause so much trouble for the House.

Huazheng lowered his head and sobbed softly, as if acquiescing to this.

"You are really amazing. You can walk to such a remote place in a day. We have traveled a long way in the spaceship."

Ms. Ruiwen's tone was so mean that anyone could tell that she wasn't sincerely admiring it.

"I...have ancestral spells at home...I am very good at moving in the mountains."

Huazheng burst into tears, tears wet Emma's shoulders.

"Don't cry! Save your tears and cry in front of Vice President Passy. I think that what you committed this time may not be resolved by memorizing a major fault. Why are the first-year apprentices so worried now? !"

Ms. Ruiwen scolded, it should be from Hayward's previous words, remembering the "heroic deeds" that led to her being recorded as a major demerit.This made Hayward's expression suddenly a little embarrassed.

"By the way, why did you fall into this deep well? Didn't you use lighting spells?"

For such a large well, as long as there is a little light, the blind can see the general idea.Even if Huazheng didn't use the lighting technique, there are still a lot of glowing plants at the mouth of the well.Her falling down was an unforgivable, low-level mistake.

"I... I went into the cave to look for the holy beast, but I met a group of monsters... I accidentally slipped and fell down when I was chased by them."

monster?Everyone exchanged glances quickly.Although there are many strange places in this cave, it is very peaceful along the way. Except for the luminous plants, no signs of life were found.

"What kind of monster? How many are there?"

"I didn't see it clearly. Because there are glowing plants in the depths of the cave, I didn't continue to illuminate in order to save mana. Those monsters appeared near the deep well... They were very long... I thought they were snakes at first, but I seemed to see them again. Have...beast claws?"

Emma quickly looked around, but found nothing suspicious.

"They won't come down. After I fell down, I became conscious. I thought I was going to die. But when I heard them moving outside the black mist for a while, I retreated. I probably didn't dare to pass through the black mist."

"Tsk!"

Ms. Ruiwen seemed to be in a bad mood, and vomited heavily.

"Ms. Raven, do you know what that is?"

"Well, it's quite troublesome. Since it appeared on the high mountain, and it looks like what she described... probably that thing is right. Let me think about it, Hayward is the strongest among you, wait a moment Responsible for carrying Hua Zheng. The other two cast the most powerful body protection magic and followed me closely."

Although Ms. Ruiwen didn't name the dangerous creature, her attitude of facing an enemy was enough to make everyone pay attention, and she nodded very seriously.

In order to keep the fractured Huazheng from moving on Hayward's back, Ms. Ruiwen tapped her on the head with her wand and cast a sleeping spell.

In fact, she could cast this spell in the air. Seeing the swelling swelling on Huazheng's forehead, Emma had reason to suspect that Ms. Ruiwen was venting her anger.

"It's so troublesome... If I had known that I might as well complete the task by myself, why would I ask Milton to do it..."

Not caring that her mutterings were heard by the apprentices, Lady Riven spoke the spell, and more light lingered on her wand than before, like little red snakes running up and down.

"Come on! Children."

With that, Lady Raven strode back up the stairs, into the darkness again.
