Looking at the deep cave entrance, everyone was excited, nervous and even a little scared.
What is hidden in the Valley of Sighs? The secret that has been buried for twelve years may be revealed.
Arthur was the first to walk towards the cave with the giant sword of the Falling Star, and Hughie and Joan followed closely behind him. A large ball of fire was beating in Joan's palm, and Joan would attack immediately if anything unexpected happened.
Alia was in the middle of the team, and a ball of light the size of a human head was hanging above her head and rotating slowly. In addition to lighting, the gentle light sprinkled on her body also had the effect of calming and concentrating the mind, helping to eliminate the fear in her heart.
The old dwarf was next to Alia. As a dwarf, he had a strong interest in various mysterious canyons and caves.
Gold was very reluctant to be in the rear position, and next to her was Moral who was willing to choose to be at the end of the team.
This is a naturally formed cave with no traces of artificial excavation. It is four or five meters high and can accommodate three or four people walking side by side.
Everyone entered the cave with high alert, but the imagined danger did not come.
On the contrary, Arthur and his friends were pleasantly surprised to find that the magic elements in the cave were much more active and richer than those outside. Magicians could practice more than twice as fast here than outside, and the effect of warriors practicing fighting spirit was also significantly increased.
Moreover, the deeper you go into the cave, the richer the magic elements are. After a few hundred meters, they are almost twice as strong as outside. Magicians like Joan and Alia even have the urge to stop and practice here.
After walking a few dozen meters, Moral suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Look, Yuan Jing!"
An oval crystal the size of an egg grew on the wall of the cave. Moral shook it slightly and took it off with his hand.
Gently holding it in his hand, the abundant and pure energy inside rushed into his body, confirming that it was Yuan Jing.
"Everyone, pay attention and look for it again. There may be more nearby."
At Arthur's reminder, everyone began to pay attention to the surrounding rock walls. As expected, pieces of Yuan Crystal began to appear one after another, almost every few meters.
After a bloody battle, the harvest finally began!
Everyone excitedly pried pieces of Yuan Crystal from the rock wall. As long as these things appeared in the outside world, each piece would be a priceless treasure.
Immersed in the excitement of the harvest, everyone lost most of their vigilance when they first entered the cave. No one noticed that a layer of light black mist began to spread in the darkness.
Arthur was the first to realize that something was wrong. He felt a familiar cold breath.
"Alia, praise the light ball!" Arthur suddenly shouted.
A bright ball of light appeared between Arya's hands, emitting bright white light all around. The cave was brighter, and this time everyone could see clearly that around Arya, as the darkness receded, there was also a rapidly melting black mist.
"Everyone be careful, is there a dark magician nearby?" Arthur reminded.
"Is Arnold nearby?" June asked a silly question.
"Do you think Arnold is the last dark magician on the continent?"
While several people were bickering, the black fog in the cave became thicker. Except for the area around Alia, the area within five or six meters was completely plunged into darkness, and several people were forced to retreat to Alia's side.
"What should we do?"
"Yuan Jing can't escape if he stays here. Let's rush in and see who is making trouble?" Arthur took the lead and rushed into the darkness.
The black fog rolled, but Arthur was not afraid at all. Speaking of it, Arthur is also half a dark magician. He knows dark magicians best. The black fog itself has no lethality. It is just a platform for dark magicians to cast various dark magics.
Two black tentacles as thick as arms suddenly stretched out from the black fog, one above and one below, respectively, wrapping around Arthur's neck and ankles.
The most commonly used second-level magic in dark magic is "dark tentacles".
Arthur snorted coldly, and the Star fall Sword in his hand released a fiery red fighting spirit, and with a light wave, he cut off the tentacles above.
Joan attacked almost at the same time, and a fireball burned the lower one.
When Arthur thought that the dark magician on the opposite side was just so-so, the black fog in front of him rolled violently, and lions, tigers, bears, leopards and other beasts condensed from the black fog rushed out of the fog.
These beasts condensed from the black fog were clearly visible, almost as good as the guardian totems summoned by the orc heroes. Although they were far inferior to the totem holy beasts in terms of combat power, each one had the strength of a third-level orc warrior.
The most terrifying thing was that the condensed beasts rushing out of the black fog were endless. Just as Gold used the fighting skill "Rain of Pear Blossoms" to clear all the condensed beasts in front of her, five or six more beasts rushed out of the black fog.
Everyone fell into a bitter battle again.
This was a real competition of strength. These condensed beasts consumed the magic power of the dark magician behind them. If Arthur and others could exhaust the opponent's magic power, there would naturally be no more condensed beasts in the black fog.
The dark magician on the opposite side was much more powerful than Arthur and his friends had imagined. In the end, even the old dwarf Tulutuk took the initiative to attack. His hammer flew out and turned around to clear the beasts that appeared. The old dwarf threw his hammer seven or eight times in a row, and the beasts condensed in the black mist continued to appear.
Arthur and his friends were the first to give up. Alia's magic power was about to run out. There was only a small ball of light in her hand, and it could go out at any time.
Since the battle with the skeleton army, Alia has not had time to recover her magic power. From releasing the "Dispel Aura" again and again to releasing the "Praise of Light" light ball in the battle just now, Alia's magic power consumption was huge.
"Retreat! Let's withdraw from the cave first!" Arthur made a decision without hesitation, because once he lost Alia, the light priest with the strongest restraint against dark magic, Arthur and his friends would be more passive in the battle.
When Arthur and his friends really wanted to withdraw, they found it equally difficult. Unconsciously, the black fog had filled the entire cave, and the condensed beasts kept rushing out from the back and even from the top of their heads.
Arthur and his friends were exhausted one by one, and the magic scrolls in Qing's space ring were almost smashed. Gold was almost exhausted, but she didn't rush out a few meters.
When Arthur and his friends were almost desperate, the beasts condensed by the black fog suddenly dissipated. Before Arthur had time to be happy, the black fog around him pressed and entangled him layer by layer, as if the power of the entire space was pressing on him, and even raising his hands became extremely difficult.
Sixth-level magic, "Dark Binding"!
Arthur reacted instantly. He had heard Arnold say it before, but he didn't expect that he would become the object of binding.
After struggling for a few times, Arthur was completely restricted by the "Dark Binding". The black fog appeared and turned into a thick black chain to tie Arthur tightly.
While Arthur was tied up, Gold, Hughie and others were not spared. Only the old dwarf frantically swung his hammer at the black fog coming from all directions.
The old dwarf struggled for two minutes longer than Arthur and the others. When Tulutuk was out of breath and could not swing his hammer, he also could not escape the fate of being tied up.
In this mysterious cave, Arthur and his friends were all captured. What was waiting for them behind the black fog?
