Chapter 631: Chapter 440: Mysterious Cave_2
“There’s no need for formalities, you all have worked hard.”
Leo Ray gave a slight nod, sweeping his gaze over the people in front of him.
Seeing the various bandages on the wyvern knights, Leo Ray immediately ordered the muscular priest beside him, “Gideon Black, start healing them.”
“Yes, Lord.”
Upon hearing the command, Gideon elegantly bowed and walked towards the injured wyvern knights with his dark gold life force flowing in his hands.
While everyone was being treated, Leo took a look around under the last rays of the setting sun.
This was a steep, circular mountain range, and its secluded location and treacherous terrain made it difficult for most land-dwelling demon beasts to approach.
Moreover, just as Sean had mentioned in his mind talk, there were six or seven caves of various sizes scattered across the cliffs, making it an ideal nest for the Azure Pterosaurs.
“Lord, the mysterious cave with Tier 3 Mud People is right here,” said Sean with a slightly nervous voice, echoing again.
Upon hearing this, Leo Ray turned around and followed the direction of Sean’s pointing finger.
Not far in front of him, he saw a very ordinary cave entrance, which did not seem to have anything special about it from the outside.
“My Lord, there is indeed a faint aura of some kind of golem puppet inside,” Scarlett, standing beside Leo, reported politely after taking a slight sniff of the air.
Upon noticing Scarlett next to Ray, Sean was surprised to find that the Azure Pterosaur leader he had recently tamed was trembling uncontrollably, as if it had seen a monster.
“It seems that our Lord has tamed another mighty powerhouse,” Sean couldn’t help swallowing his saliva at this sight.
Although he himself couldn’t see Scarlett’s strength, the nervousness of the Azure Pterosaur beside him was unheard of for an experienced Pterosaur Knight like Sean.
“Lord, the knights have finished their treatment, and fortunately, their injuries weren’t severe,” Gideon reported as he returned to the group, bowing slightly.
“Very good.”
Leo Ray nodded slightly and issued his command, “In that case, let the other nine wyvern knights guard outside the cave. Sean, lead the way. Let’s see what’s so special about this place.”
“Yes, Lord!” At his command, everyone bowed and responded in unison.
Under Sean’s guidance, Leo entered the cave, holding a glowing Light Crystal Stone in his hand. He noticed that the cave was quite spacious.
The only drawback was that water droplets kept sliding down the walls on both sides of the cave, making the rocky floor a bit slippery and accompanied by a “drip-drip” sound.
Next, they walked along the damp cave tunnel.
It didn’t take long before a vast cave space opened up before Leo’s eyes.
At this moment, inhaling the moist air filled with the scent of soil, Leo noticed that the cave space, covering an area of at least a hundred square meters, was covered in magic moss that he had seen in the underground cave of Pine Sound Range.
As far as the eye could see, there were dots of fluorescent light in various colors, giving off a sense of fantasy.
“My Lord, it was here that we encountered the attack of the Tier 3 Mud People,” Sean bowed slightly and pointed to a higher ground at the end of the cave, reporting to Leo Ray.
From his somewhat nervous expression, it was clear that he still felt a lingering fear from the sudden attack earlier.
“Let’s go take a look,” Leo Ray nodded slightly and took the first step.
After walking through the large patch of magic moss and arriving at the target location, Leo found out that the small tunnel only wide enough for two people to walk side by side did indeed appear at the end of the cave as mentioned by Sean.
However, since the tunnel was not a straight line, it was impossible to tell what was at the end.Just as Leo Ray noticed this.
Accompanied by a strong surge of energy, a group of pitch-black figures emerged from the turning point of the passage ahead, blocking the entire passage tightly.
At this moment, Leo Ray narrowed his eyes and noticed.
These figures were the Clay Soldiers mentioned by Sean, powerful Tier 3 Advanced Magic Puppets.
One could see their bodies dripping with thick, sludgy mud, as if they had just crawled out of a swamp.
With their ferocious expressions and fiery red eyes, they looked visually striking.
Moreover, judging by their aura, the strength of these Advanced Magic Puppets was clearly on par with Tier 3 Senior Powerhouses.
“Be careful, Lord. These are the ones! They are immune to physical attacks and quite difficult to deal with…”
Immediately after, Sean’s slightly anxious voice came again.
“Lord, leave it to me.” Seeing the dense crowd of Clay Soldiers about to break through the passage, Scarlett couldn’t help but frown.
“Go ahead.” Leo Ray nodded with a slight eyebrow raise.
“Yes, Lord.”
The next second, Scarlett stepped forward, and after taking a deep breath, the temperature around her suddenly soared as she opened her lips slightly.
A scorching red flame burst forth from her mouth, instantly turning into a surging red pillar of fire.
It then rushed into the passage filled with Clay Soldiers at lightning speed, engulfing everything in its path.
At this moment, under the illumination of the high temperature flames, the entire cave lit up like daylight, making it nearly impossible for anyone to open their eyes.
The rolling heat waves generated by the fire continued to spread around, causing the nearby Magic Moss to lose its luster rapidly.
For a time, the whole scene was incredibly astonishing.
Of course, under Scarlett’s precise control, none of her allies were harmed.
Within moments, as the flames subsided and everything calmed back down, Leo Ray noticed.
The once seemingly invulnerable Clay Soldiers had vanished without a trace as if they had never appeared in the first place.
Only the surrounding scorched air and the smoke billowing ahead, still making a crackling sound, remained.
“This… what is this?!” Seeing the incredible scene before him, Sean’s mouth hung open, hardly able to believe his eyes.
The group of Clay Soldiers that had chased him all the way to the cave’s entrance had been so easily annihilated? What kind of monster had their Lord tamed?
At the same time, the other subordinates couldn’t help but reveal expressions of awe.
With just a single breath, Scarlett had managed to wipe out more than twenty Advanced Magic Puppets with the strength of Tier 3 Senior Powerhouses. The power of her flame was indeed astonishing.
“What a powerful flame. Is this Dragon Breath?”
Among them, Scarlett, being a Grand Fire Mage, was particularly stunned.
Her crystal-clear eyes sparkled, and she couldn’t wait to discuss the technique of “playing with fire” with Scarlett.
“Wow, it seems our bedwetting warriors have now increased to two. I wonder if dragons would wet their beds when they were young?”
Realizing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but mumble in his heart, “That said, I didn’t expect that Scarlett, in her human form, could use Dragon Breath so easily.
One can imagine, during close combat, having a Dragon Breath blast straight to the face must feel incredibly exhilarating, right?”
With that thought, Leo Ray refreshed his spirit and said to the Dragon Clan woman who still had a faint hint of smoke coming from her mouth, “Scarlett, well done.”
After that, Leo Ray nodded to his subordinates and said, “Alright, let us continue.”
And so, following the charred, dried passage, they moved forward.
After taking another turn, the party of nine quickly arrived at the other end of the passage.
At this point, the hidden space at the end of this mysterious cave was fully revealed before everyone’s eyes.
