Chapter 599 – Dangerous Cave

Chapter 599 – Dangerous Cave

In the wind demon’s labyrinth-like cave, Sol and the old hag were both constricting their spiritual and magical powers as much as they could for the sake of concealment.

This led to the fact that often they could only discover their enemies when they appeared in front of them.

After being startled by a pair of arms suddenly sticking out from the soil, the old hag reacted quickly and immediately condensed a small air shield in front of herself.

The pair of arms and their bodies then came out of the wall completely.

“A magical stone statue?” Saul froze.

This thing was somewhat high-tech, a sort of sorcery-synthesized magical idol with some intelligence. But this kind of thing was rare in the Stat Continent. Saul also only realized after reading Mentor Golza’s collection of books that magical stone statues were more common in the continent of Ethkelper, especially in Sky City.

Moreover, due to the internal design being encrypted by sorcery, the external export of magic statues was very strictly controlled, so it was very difficult for sorcerers from other powers to acquire this kind of magic statue.

The magic stone statue in front of him was a wolf’s head and body, and when his eyes looked at Saul and the old witch, they flashed with a luster that ordinary puppets did not have.

Due to its powerful concealment, the wolf-headed stone statue was not detected by either of them before it suddenly attacked the old hag.

Saul took advantage of the wolf-headed stone statue’s main attack on the old hag and immediately condensed a black blade to slice through the wolf-headed’s neck.

However, the black blade, which was very easy to slice a human head, was stagnant in slicing the stone statue.

Saul’s force only slid in half a palm’s distance, the black blade could no longer enter, and then the magic power collapsed and disappeared.

He once again gathered a bigger black blade and shot it at the stone statue, but this time the black blade only penetrated less than a centimeter into the thickness of the other party’s body before it was stuck in place.

“The magical stone statue can adjust its characteristics according to the attack. As long as you are unable to break its core with a single strike, the effectiveness of the second strike’s attack will be greatly reduced.”

The old hag showed her teeth in embarrassment, “My wind blade might not be as sharp as your black blade, this is going to be difficult.”

The old hag wasn’t afraid of the magical stone statue, but if she stayed behind to deal with the stone statue, then no one would be able to resist the wind demon inside.

Saul looked towards the magical stone statue that had turned its head to counterattack because of his several attacks, and inwardly, he was dumbfounded.

“I want to move this stone statue home so badly!”

However, now was not the time to be greedy, the moment the magic stone statue lunged at Sol, a transparent humanoid suddenly precipitated out of his body, and then quickly covered the air with a layer of silver color, directly colliding with the magic stone statue fiercely.

“Bang!”

A loud ringing sound traveled far in the passageway, and Saul secretly said, “The wind demon must have found us now. But it’s okay, we need the old witch to lure people away anyway.”

Thinking of this, Saul didn’t care about the fact that Herman, who was dressed in silver, would create a lot of sound when fighting with the magical stone statue.

It was just that Herman was only good at blunt attacks, and was somewhat helpless against the magic stone statues that could switch back and forth between high strength and high toughness.

However, the fast speed, but the steering is not so flexible magic stone statue also can not help Herman.

It simply couldn’t catch the silver shadows that were running around in the sky and underground.

“Let’s go and leave this place to Herman.”

Saul took another look at the magical stone statue and said to the old hag.

The old hag hurriedly found a gap and ran to Saul’s side, and the two continued deeper.

However, this time they didn’t go for long when a pattering sound came.

The old hag who was responsible for luring away the wind demon did not hide her spiritual power at this time.

She listened sideways for a moment and affirmed, “It’s poisonous spiders, there are many of them, one is about the size of the palm of your hand, but the toxicity is so strong that even a first-ranked sorcerer will perish if they are injected with too much toxin.”

Saul’s heart moved, “It’s normal to be able to sense the shape and size of the enemy, but even the toxicity is known ……”

The old witch noticed Sol’s probing eyes and rolled her eyes, “What are you looking at, I’ve been bitten before! But my perfect body isn’t afraid of this kind of spider anymore.”

While the two were talking, the first spider had already appeared in front of them. The spider was indeed as the old witch had said, only palm-sized, with a crystal white body, like something carved out of ice.

However, the little spider looked cute, and as soon as it saw the enemy, a pair of scarlet eyes emerged, looking at Saul and the old hag as if they had seen two large pieces of meat.

Subsequently, a large swath of glistening white spiders ran out from the shadows, densely packed and overwhelming, at first glance there were two to three hundred of them.

Coupled with the fact that the cave was less than three meters wide, there wasn’t much room for shifting. Seeing such a large number of small spiders in such a closed environment, even if the other party looked cute, it really made one’s scalp numb!
“Let’s fly up and rush over.” Sol proposed.

Even though the spiders in the air might fall as they flew over, as long as they were covered in spell armor, they could ensure that they wouldn’t be bitten in a short period of time.

“No, it’s better to settle them here, or else when they follow us in, they’ll have to watch out for these spiders and deal with the wind demons again after they encounter them ……”

The old hag was worried about going belly up, it was obvious that she wasn’t really completely afraid of the toxins of these spiders.

Even if the perfect body could heal itself, the toxins accumulated too much and could affect her fighting.

Instead, Saul grabbed the old witch’s arm and smiled, “Then we’ll fly over there, and then let the others block this group of spiders.”

The old hag reacted to the fact that Saul was talking about those consciousness bodies and the Soul Devouring Demon Swamp inside him.

This time when he went out, Saul could be said to be all out, if someone went to sneak attack his lair at this time, then the Witch Tower could only close the tower to defend itself and pray that it wouldn’t be breached before Saul’s return.

The old witch backhanded and also held Saul’s arm, the two of them flew up together, and then the old witch’s wind shield covered the two of them.

As they flew through the passageway filled with glistening white spiders, despite their speed, there were still spiders that fell on them like dumplings.

Just because the wind shield was very strong, those spiders could not touch their bodies for the time being.

But their toxicity was indeed very strong, and a few red spots soon appeared on the wind shield.

The toxicity of these little guys could even corrode magic!

Luckily, they quickly passed through the densest cave of spiders and landed in a clearing.

The old hag then raised several tiny whirlwinds around her to send the small spiders on the wind shield flying.

These small spiders just landed on the stone, and their eight legs immediately stuck firmly to the stone, their bodies crouching to the ground, and they were instantly not blown away by the wind.

The wind shield was then withdrawn, and a black tentacle like a vine fell from the back of Sol’s neck to the ground.

The earth and the stone walls around and overhead immediately turned black and softened, transforming from hard rock to a damp, soft dirt in just a few breaths.

A large number of black tentacles reached out from the rock wall that had turned into a swamp, and all of them split open their shark-like mouths and rushed to bite at the small spiders that were darting towards them.

Just in terms of numbers alone, the small algae were still no match for these small spiders. There were some spiders that would climb onto them after avoiding the tentacles’ gnawing and devour the tentacles’ bodies.

The sharp mouthparts coupled with the corrosive toxin quickly snapped off the front ends of the tentacles.

Seeing this, Saul only had to release his conscious body again, An.

“An, you block here with Algae. It protects you from the spiders gnawing at you, while you take care of clearing out the spiders that land on it.”

“Yes, master.” An answered and immediately went forward, joining the battlefield.

At that moment a powerful spiritual pressure came from the depths of the cave, and Sol and the old witch stumbled almost simultaneously, nearly falling to the ground.

That was the spiritual pressure belonging to a third-order witch.

The old witch’s face changed.

“Didn’t you say that the wind demon is no longer able to do so?”

Saul immediately glanced at the diary, then smiled faintly, “Just seeing the pressure and not seeing the person, isn’t it no longer working?”
