To put it more mysteriously, there was a magic array outside the cave. One had to absorb the essence of the moon on a full moon to open the cave.
Both of them put on hard hats. There was even a searchlight hanging from their hats.
Otherwise, with their eyesight, if they were to enter the pitch-black cave, they would probably fall and break their heads.
"Did you bring magical phosphor?" Chen Zhao asked.
"Yes," Pierce said. "As a wizard, I have to bring some with me."
"Scatter some," Chen Zhao said.
"Why?"
"Just scatter. Why ask so many questions?"
The cave was filled with some mayflies. They came from Hell and were bound here by magic.
They weren't fatal, but they would attach to people and cause some magic, such as unbearable itch or local pain.
However, these mayflies could only survive in humid environments. They also had phototaxis.
On a full moon, they would gather at the entrance but not leave the cave. It was hard to see them with the naked eye.
Pierce took out a bag of magical phosphor. He grabbed a handful and asked, "Where should I scatter it?"
"At the entrance. Just detonate it."
Pierce South scattered the Magic Phosphor and detonated it with a trace of magic power.
Then, Pierce and Chen Zhao saw many densely packed dots of light pouncing toward the flames caused by the magic phosphorescence.
The dots were extremely fast, like moths flying into a flame.
"What are these?"
"Hell mayflies," Chen Zhao said. This was actually his first time seeing one too.
However, Winry had mentioned it before, so he wasn't too surprised.
After all, he'd seen real Hell and big scenes.
There are more things in Hell than this monster. More of them.
So, the Hell mayflies weren't that strange.
"Chen, you seem to know this place better than I thought."
Suddenly, something charged out from the depths of the cave.
"Careful." Chen Zhao pulled Pierce South away.
It was a Greyhound!
However, this Greyhound had lost most of its fur, and there were many red sores on its skin. It seemed to be infected by something.
Walter immediately went forward to confront the Greyhound. Walter's body was much bigger than the Greyhound.
The Greyjoy Hound was obviously in an abnormal state, and no one knew how long it had been in there.
However, at the very least, it could understand the difference in strength.
Therefore, when it faced Walter, it decisively surrendered and ran.
Walter gave chase. The Silly Twins and Obitos followed him into the depths of the cave.
"This cave isn't a straight line. Aren't you afraid that they'll get lost and be trapped here?" Pierce asked.
"Don't worry, they can find the way," Chen Zhao said casually. "Let's go in too."
After a few steps, they saw two Greyjoy Spaniels on the ground. They looked like they had been killed by Walter and the others.
"You had the foresight to bring your pet here. If it were the two of us, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy."
But just then, a black shadow suddenly attacked Pierce's back from behind.
Chen Zhao reacted quickly. He grabbed Pierce and kicked the shadow away at the same time.
It was another Greyhound. Chen Zhao's kick was so powerful that he killed it immediately.
"What did these Greyhounds eat to survive in here?"
"Zombie spore," Chen Zhao said.
"What's zombie spore?"
"It's something that grows where you touch it."
Pierce hurriedly stopped and clapped his hands.
He saw that there seemed to be many fungus-like things on the walls. They were slippery to the touch.
"If it enters your body, it'll be like the zombies in the movies."
Pierce kept rubbing his clothes with his hands. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Will I get infected when I touch these things?"
"It's not that scary. You'll only get infected if you eat them raw or if they touch your wounds."
"Will these dogs cause a biochemical crisis if they run out?" Fear appeared on Pierce South's face. He was probably thinking of scenes from movies.
"No, they're not contagious. Plus, they won't survive even if they run out. They'll die like vampires when sunlight shines on them."
"You're not afraid of this at all?" Pierce asked.
"Please, you're a wizard. Don't be so embarrassing, okay?"
"I feel like I'm just a normal person compared to you," Pierce said.
Chen Zhao had seen and interacted with many things, so this was only a small scene.
Just then, two beams of red light appeared before them.
"What's ahead?" Pierce South hid behind Chen Zhao.
"Nothing. It's my pet, Obitos."
Pierce South shone his light over and saw Obitos lying on the body of a Greyjoy Hound, munching on the carcass.
The Greyjoy Hound that had been infected by the zombie spores was already terrifying enough, but now that it was covered in blood and gore, it was even more terrifying.
"Won't your pet get infected after eating an infected Greyhound?"
"Don't worry," Chen Zhao said. "It's just a snack for Obitos."
Obitos was a high-level demon with both the fire dragon and glutton bloodlines. Nothing could live in his burning bloodline.
Zombie spore wasn't some high-level parasite either. There were similar ones in the human world too.
Along the way, there were corpses of Greyhounds everywhere. Who knew how many dogs Trede had put here?
But in Pierce's mind, Chen Zhao's pets were the scariest.
They completely ignored the zombie dogs. Even the smallest ones, Beelzebub and Carrie, were hunting their own kind.
As for the broken corpses of the zombie dogs they saw along the way, they were clearly the Silly Twins' handiwork.
Only the Silly Twins' physique and biting strength could bite through a zombie dog's body in one bite.
Pierce felt like Chen Zhao wasn't raising pets, but an army of monsters.
Woof, woof —
Just then, Chen Zhao and Pierce heard White-Ma's voice.
Of course, Pierce South couldn't tell which dog it was, but Chen Zhao could.
"Come here. White-Ma found it."
"Found what?"
