As the light shone, Lin Yun saw a few chunks of soil falling from the wall behind him.
Then, Lin Yun suddenly felt the earth under his feet shiver.
'No way …' Lin Yun's eyes suddenly widened. 'What's going on? Who destroyed the cave for no reason? How could there be an earthquake?'
But after thinking about it, Lin Yun understood.
'Damn, a Bone Devil!'
This was definitely the Bone Devil's awakening. Otherwise, no one in this black wasteland would be able to cause such a huge ruckus. This was truly extreme joy turning to sorrow. He had just picked up a Spiritual Magic Staff and was singing while flipping over a corpse when the Bone Devil came out. 'Does it have to be so exciting?'
Lin Yun almost broke into a run. What kind of joke was this? A Great Mage with only a Magic Array would be like a dish in front of a Bone Devil. If he ran a bit slower, he would lose a few components. If he didn't take advantage of the fact that the Bone Devil hadn't completely awakened, would he have to wait for the Bone Devil to wake up and brush its teeth before giving it its breakfast?
'No!' But just as Lin Yun moved, he realized that he had made a mistake. The more anxious he was, the more muddle-headed he became. The Bone Devil had awakened outside, and if he foolishly ran out, wouldn't he just run into it? At that time, the Bone Devil wouldn't need to do anything, it would only need to tangle with him.
This wasn't like last time …
Last time, he could rely on Elemental Incarnation and a sea of flames to escape from the Bone Devil's entanglement. This time, he didn't have enough preparations. If he was entangled by the Bone Devil for an hour, he might really die here.
'No, I can't run outside.'
Lin Yun controlled the Light spell and quickly searched the cave. Soon, Lin Yun found a narrow fork on the other side of the cave.
Lin Yun didn't even think about it as he dove into the fork in a flash.
However, Lin Yun did not intend to escape from this fork. It was almost impossible. In this kind of underground cave, the forks could be said to extend in all directions. Some would directly lead to the surface, while some would simply lead to a dead end. If Lin Yun wanted to randomly choose a fork to enter and escape to the surface, the chances of that happening were really not high …
Lin Yun only wanted to hide in the fork for a while and wait for the Bone Devil to calm down before thinking of a way to return to Noscent. As for where this fork led, it wasn't important to Lin Yun.
After entering the fork, Lin Yun released the control of the Illuminating Spell and let it float two meters in front of him. His empty right hand held the Psychic Magic Staff that he had just obtained.
Apart from the Sage Chapter, the most powerful weapon in Lin Yun's hands was this Psychic Magic Staff, even if the Magic Tool Spirit of this staff was still slumbering.
Lin Yun, who was holding the Spiritual Magic Staff, could clearly feel the mana produced by the Burning Spirit Wood continuously pouring into the Elemental Amber. That kind of feeling was like the most beautiful music to a mage, making them unconsciously intoxicated. But Lin Yun didn't have time to appreciate the beauty of it. Instead, after entering the fork, he quickly took out the Sage Chapter and stored two Fire Arrows in it.
Seeing the symbols of the two Fire Arrows light up, Lin Yun sighed in relief. The thousand Skeleton Warriors he had just killed hadn't been in vain. The Sage Chapter had absorbed enough Soul Fires to upgrade the two Fire Arrows to Ultimate Spells.
These two Ultimate Spells were the last cards Lin Yun had prepared. If the Bone Devil followed his aura into the cave, Lin Yun would have no choice but to go all out. Under normal circumstances, Lin Yun only had a Magic Array. Compared to the Bone Devil that was close to the High Mage realm, it was naturally far from enough. The only thing Lin Yun could rely on was the narrow terrain of the cave, as well as the two Ultimate Spells stored in the Sage Chapter.
After doing all this, Lin Yun stopped to catch his breath, calmly waiting for the final result.
There were only two possibilities waiting for Lin Yun now.
One was that the Bone Devil went crazy and then went back to sleep. The other was that the Bone Devil sensed the aura of a living person and followed Lin Yun into the cave.
The first possibility was naturally the best for Lin Yun, while the second possibility meant that Lin Yun had no choice but to go all out.
Time ticked by, but the cave was still trembling.
But Lin Yun's expression gradually sank, because Lin Yun could already hear the Bone Devil's footsteps getting closer and closer to the cave. Those heavy footsteps seemed to echo in Lin Yun's mind, and each step made Lin Yun's nerves tighter and tighter.
Then, an earth-shattering roar rang out, causing the entire cave to shake.
"Fuck …" Lin Yun suddenly cursed.
Because Lin Yun knew that the Bone Devil had already discovered him. That roar contained not only the anger of having its territory invaded, but also the excitement of having found its prey. Lin Yun had heard the same roar the last time he came to the Bone Plane.
Lin Yun looked at the fork in front of him, then at the spacious cave. After thinking for a bit, he decided to go a bit deeper. He hoped to be able to get rid of the Bone Devil's pursuit, and he also planned to rely on the narrow fork to fight the Bone Devil if he was discovered.
After all, he had two Ultimate Spells, so it wasn't as if he didn't have the power to fight the Bone Devil.
'Strange …' After Lin Yun walked a dozen meters deeper into the fork, a doubtful expression appeared on his face. This fork seemed a bit too smooth compared to the outside. It didn't look like it had been formed naturally, but rather, it looked like it had been carved by someone. Indeed, he could even see traces of iron tools scratching on the walls.
'Could it be that it was carved by that High Mage from the Black Tower?
No, High Mages don't have that kind of physical strength.
It looks like it was carved by an alchemy puppet.
But if it was a puppet, then why couldn't he find the remains of the alchemy puppet outside? Even if this was the Bone Plane where death energy was everywhere, a puppet couldn't have been eroded to the point where not even its remains remained in a short few hundred years, right?
'Could it be that it's even deeper?'
Lin Yun thought about it. In any case, he had to avoid the Bone Devil's pursuit, so he might as well go deeper. If he really found that alchemy puppet and had a way to reactivate it, he might be able to use it to dig a passage to the surface.
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Yun went over thirty meters deeper. At this time, the Bone Devil seemed to have found the source of the aura of a living person and was walking along the steep slope towards the depths of the cave.
Heavy footsteps, deep roars …
One roar after another made Lin Yun tense up, but Lin Yun forced himself not to look back. Undead lifeforms like Bone Devils were very sensitive to living people. If he turned his head, the Bone Devil might discover his position.
Lin Yun had already walked over a hundred meters on this narrow fork. Just as Lin Yun thought that he would have to walk a few hundred more meters, the path ahead suddenly opened up.
Then, Lin Yun saw a silhouette wearing plate armor and holding a spear!
