Chapter 1748: Dragon Rider vs. Dragon Rider (Seven)
The dead leaves piled on the ground are very thick, and Cassia can feel soft when stepped on. The dead leaves at the bottom have rotted, and there is a little resin secreted from the roots of the ancient tree. The flames burn here, crackling and a large amount of gray smoke is emitted, and the pungent smell spreads around. Cassia walked to the side, stood in the breeze, and did not let the smoke swallow him. Zero still followed, always keeping a distance of fifty or sixty meters from Cassia.
Zero slammed his palm at this time, and the air was knocked out by him as if it were real objects, extinguishing the two fires that were about to spread around him. After crushing the high-energy fuel ball, if it is not completely isolated from the air, it will burn until it is exhausted. Zero tried several times without extinguishing the flames of the high-energy fuel ball, so he gave up and no longer had any ideas about dozens of fire rings that rose up around him.
Seeing that No. 0 did not move towards the spreading fire, Cassia raised her head. The smoke was stacked layer by layer, like a high-rise building without rules, and did not break in the rising hot wind. It was very stable and approached the dark green canopy layer above two or three hundred meters little by little.
After a few breaths, a thick cloud-like smoke slowly formed under Cassia's gaze. It was not until they came into contact with the canopy that Cassia looked at Number Zero, and there was an intention to ask him how he would make a decision next.
The fire went to the two of them, forcing them to continue moving toward the side. The small fire rings ignited by dozens of high-energy fuel balls were connected at this time, forming a fire field with a diameter of more than 100 meters, and the extension speed was faster.
"I hope that after the others gather together, you will indeed have the ability to complete your plan." Zero finally spoke. He and Cassia walked slowly, always a few steps faster than the flames next to you. "The four dragon knights will not give you too many opportunities."
"I will see the result soon. Although I don't have much confidence." Cassia replied with a smile and looked up at the sky. A large area of gray smoke had passed through the thick and dense canopy layer and floated in the not-so-strong sunlight in the early morning. It would not take long for a cloud of smoke to float in the air. It would become a signal, and the teams who saw it would choose to focus on it and move closer to it.
On the other side of the forest, a team stopped. Twenty people formed a non-regular circle at this moment, framed a seemingly ordinary ground full of dead leaves.
Sawyer unfolded his mask and looked around the surrounding members. He raised his hand and then released it heavily, like a signal of the start of a running competition. Twenty people followed Sawyer's signal and took a step forward, slamming the ground under the dead leaves. There was no vibration, but a plural empty sound came from below.
Amid the cracking sound of "Bang!", the ground surrounded by more than 20 people suddenly collapsed. Among the flying dead leaves, a hole with a diameter of several dozen meters appeared. The rock slab fragments like a cover fell into the depths of the cave with a large slope, and merged into the darkness below in the blink of an eye.
The roaring echo opened in the cave, becoming weaker and weaker, and soon disappeared.
The team on guard near the entrance of the cave waited for nearly two minutes before the members of the kinetic armored team walked ahead, approaching the entrance of the cave, and fired several signal flares into it. Under the light of the signal flare, they only saw the situation near the entrance of the cave, and could not observe the appearance of the depth. Instead, in the light, the black deep in the cave seemed even more intense.
"The soil looks very fresh, and the cave seems to have been dug out recently. The air inside is warm and humid. If this environment has been in a long time and there is no shortage of air near the entrance of the cave, this large area will have to be covered with a thick layer of moss." Soya pointed at the entrance of the cave and said, "This is exactly within the target range. Will the cave appear here mean anything?"
Sawyer turned his head and looked at the members of the Holy Guard beside him: "Mr. Tornos, don't know what you think?"
"There are no footprints, the slope is so large, and it was only recently dug out," Tornossa was the captain of the Holy Guards member in this team. "It's not like humans, but the possibility of doing it by the second type of creatures is very high."
Torthas, Sawyer and others stood near the entrance of the cave and looked down. There was a faint terrifying aura in the darkness in the depths. When a little came up, it made people feel dangerous. More than a dozen eyes glanced back and forth between the attachments of the cave, until the signal flare burned out, and the eyes lost their observation function as the darkness flowed back and forth back to the entrance of the cave.
"It's better to do a little bit of treatment." Sawyer spoke solemnly. He asked the members of the Fire Alliance in the team about their opinions, and only got the names of a few types of second-class creatures that could dig holes, and there was no more information. And among these second-class creatures, those who could dig out such a large cave in front of them were not included.
"Cut a few ancient trees and block the hole." Someone suggested.
Soon after, the entrance of the cave was blocked by cut-off ancient branches and raised into a small pile. The sunlight fell on this place without hindrance, making the trees piled up under the light look like a fresh one, and the huge grave that completed the memorial ceremony.
After doing these, Saoya and the others always felt that the air around them seemed dull and cold, and their breathing was not refreshed due to the influence of their mood. The team was about to move forward again immediately, and the communication came from the Dragon Knight Hainoy in the sky. In just half a minute, the team had turned around. Saoya, with all the kinetic armor members, accelerated the speed before and rushed towards the position of Zero.
Shortly after the entire team left, a tiny friction sound came from under the ground. After a few breaths, Sawyer and his team piled up, and the pile of trees used to simply block the entrance of the hole suddenly sank, and in the blink of an eye it collapsed towards the depths of the hole.
After the pile of trees disappeared, Cassie's head was carefully poked out from the entrance of the hole, and the blood-red cross pupil was full of vigilance. It looked around and raised its head to look at the dazzling light in the sky, and emitted a slight breath, as if it was dissatisfied with this bright environment.
The head then retracted under the hole. Nearly three minutes later, the sound of fine friction sounded again. This time it was no longer Cassie's head that poked out first, but a huge claw. The claw grabbed a thick rock slab full of polishing marks.
This time, Cassie Hei almost poked out most of his body. He held the stone slab and carefully collected dead leaves from the surrounding area and sprinkled them on the rock slab. Finally, Cassie Hei took a deep breath and covered the hole again with the stone slab and blew the air around the surroundings the moment before the exit of the network. The dead leaves were blown up by a large piece, and then slowly fell down, completely eliminating the obvious traces around.
Quietness comes again.
