Dean's eyes flashed as he thought of Corpse Pecker. He whispered: "Be careful, there may be intelligent monsters hiding in the cave."
Ian and others were shocked when they heard Dean's words. Ruby who was standing nearby asked: "Did you see it?"
Dean shook his head and pointed to the silver scale: "This isn't the scale of the silencer. There may be other monsters here. Our previous lure didn't alarm it. It means that this thing has evolved to have a high level of intelligence."
Ian looked in the direction he was pointing and saw the scales on the ground. He frowned and said in a low voice, "Not bad, everyone be careful."
Eugene laughed and said, "You're overreacting. It's just a piece of scale. It could have been left behind by a monster that the Wind Listeners hunted. How much intelligence can a monster evolve to? Our bait would have alerted it a long time ago. "
Martin ignored him and looked at Ian: "Dean's words are reasonable. Be careful."
Ian nodded and lowered his body. He held a sword in one hand and a dagger in the other. He slowly moved forward.
Eugene's eyebrows twitched as he saw that no one paid attention to him. He knew that he had lost the trust of the people. He chuckled but didn't care. He leisurely followed Ian and others into the cave.
There was a faint breeze as they went deeper into the cave. It was accompanied by a strong smell of rotten corpses and excrement. Dean and others frowned. Luna's face was ugly. She didn't dare to breathe. Her previous superior sense of smell had become her fatal weakness at this moment.
The walls of the cave were covered with sticky and smelly liquid. There were also damp excrement and other things. It was extremely filthy. After going a hundred meters in, they suddenly saw the bones of some monsters scattered on the ground. There were still fur and flesh that hadn't been completely gnawed on. Ian squatted down and examined them. After seeing the bite marks, his expression turned serious and he said, "This is indeed the lair of the Silencers. Be careful."
Everyone nodded slightly in agreement.
Ian continued to lead the way.
The curvature of the cave was like a dark and thick oily intestine.
Everyone held their breath as they were nervous. They knew that it would be difficult to fight in the nest of the silencer. Moreover they didn't know if there were other monsters besides the silencer.
Dean wanted them to light torches and smoke the entrance of the cave to force the monsters out. But considering the existence of Eugene and other factors, he resisted the proposal.
In the blink of an eye, they went four or five hundred meters into the cave. There weren't any jagged rock spikes on the ground. The walls were smooth and there were monsters of different sizes everywhere.
When they were more than 400 meters deep, they also saw a few zombies whose bodies had been torn apart. Only the head and the ribs were left. They crawled slowly on the ground, making low noises like insects. It was a little scary in this quiet cave.
Ian was scared as he saw the undeads. He angrily killed them and continued to move forward.
"Hey!" Ian's pupils shrank as he saw something. He raised his hand to signal Luna, Dean and others to stop. Their palms were overflowing with cold sweat as they stared at the front.
Ian took two steps forward and focused his gaze. He immediately saw the face of the terrifying shadow blocking the passage. After looking carefully, he almost cried out in alarm and whispered, "It's the Blood Sender!"
Martin's heart skipped a beat, and he had an awful look on his face. The Blood Sender was a rare Magical Beast just like the Wind Listener and the Corpse Pecker. If he were to encounter the Wind Listener and the Blood Sender at the same time here, it would be an unpredictable and bitter battle!
Before he could finish worrying, he heard what Ian said next. "He's … dead."
Dead? Martin was startled.
Luna, Ruby and others were also startled.
Dean's night vision was sensitive. He had already seen the huge wound on the chest of the shadow. The blood had already dried up. It was like it was burned by a blazing flame. The blood and bones had turned into magma and solidified in the wound.
Ian swallowed a mouthful of saliva and slowly approached. He stabbed out his saber and penetrated the Blood Sender's body that looked like a ferocious starfish. The latter's body shook slightly as if it had come back to life.
Ian immediately sheathed his knife. With a bang, the Blood Sender's body fell straight to the ground.
Ian was pale. He gently gasped for breath. He tentatively used the tip of his sword to poke the Blood Sender's body. Soon he found that the Blood Sender was dead. Its body was stiff. It had been dead for a long time.
His face changed. Was it an internal strife among the monsters?
He hesitated for a moment but gritted his teeth: "Ruby, find out if the Parasitic Soul Worm is still in its body."
Ruby swallowed her saliva. She took out the bottle and went forward.
Ian, on the other hand, was observing his surroundings in case there was danger lurking in the dark. After a while, Ruby excitedly shouted: "The Parasitic Soul Worm is still there." Raising the bottle, there was a centipede-like bug imprisoned in the bottle, struggling with all its might, as if it wanted to break the transparent wall.
Ian was startled for a moment. He didn't expect that the Parasitic Soul Worm in the blood donor who had died a long time ago would still be alive. It had to be known that after the death of its host, the Parasitic Soul Worm would die if it couldn't find a new host in a short period of time. This usually took between half an hour to three hours, but from the rigidity of the blood donor's body, it was clear that the Parasitic Soul Worm was more than three hours old.
Soon he thought of the special body structure of the Blood Sender. It seemed that the Parasitic Soul Worm was one of the few monsters that could survive in the host's body for a long time after the death of the host.
He whispered: "Follow me. It's a bit unusual here."
Ruby excitedly put away the Parasitic Soul Worm. He held the axe and followed Ian.
After walking for hundreds of meters, a corner appeared in front of them. A very slight sound came from the other side of the corner. It seemed to be the sound of sand rubbing on the ground.
Ian's eyes narrowed. He made a warning gesture and held his weapon. He lowered his body and slowly sneaked over.
Whoosh!
As soon as he got close to the corner, he suddenly rushed out, ready to launch a surprise attack.
However, the moment he jumped out of the corner, his hand holding the weapon stopped. He stared at the scene in front of him with his eyes wide open.
On the ground in the corner, a monster lay dying. Its lower body resembled that of a spider, but it had a huge flesh sac and many sharp, multi-jointed legs. Its upper body resembled that of a hound, with a ferocious canine head and huge ears that did not droop on both sides of its head. Instead, they spread out like hardened scallops. Rather than calling them ears, they looked more like armor that protected its head.
"The … The Wind Listener?" Ian was stunned.
Martin, Ruby, and the others who quickly followed behind also saw the scene and were stunned at the corner.
This strange monster was the Wind Listener. At the moment, it was lying on the ground weakly. Its lower body was like a spider's meat sac. Its intestines and other things were dragged on the ground for more than ten meters. Several multi-jointed legs were broken. What was more terrible was that the chin of the dog's head was missing. Only a row of teeth in the upper jaw and the tongue in the throat were hanging weakly on the neck.
Dean also saw the dying Wind Listener with many fatal wounds. He was startled for a moment. Suddenly, he felt a chill from the surrounding cave. He couldn't help but look back at the exit of the cave. His face changed slightly.
Ian had already recovered from his shock. He immediately rushed forward and swung his saber at the Wind Listener's broken jaw. He instantly chopped off the Wind Listener's drooping tongue along with his head. Blood spurted out.
Ian stepped back to avoid the blood rain. He looked at the Wind Listener who had completely fallen. He was relieved and turned to Ruby: "Come and collect the Parasitic Soul Worm."
"Okay." Ruby's eyes lit up. He immediately rushed up.
Ian shook off the bloodstains on his saber and exhaled softly.
