The Five-Headed Basilisk's blood filled several containers. At the same time, the team that went to search for the monster's lair also received some news.
The young men split into six groups and searched the forest. The group led by Carglise found the lair of the Five-headed Basilisk behind a moss-covered cliff in a valley about two miles away from the village.
It was in a crevice under a slanted rock that was hundreds of meters long. The exploration team climbed down the valley until they reached the bottom. After parting the dense layers of vines that were as thick as an arm hanging down from the top of the rock, they discovered the stinky lair.
The young men obeyed Brando's orders and did not explore the lair directly. Instead, they sent someone to report back. When Brando heard the news, he immediately put down the alchemy tools in his hands and rushed over to the lair with the others.
The team passed through the dense forest and arrived at the top of the valley. Brando first observed the terrain. As mentioned in the information provided by the messenger, the huge rock in the valley seemed to have fallen from a towering cliff. However, it had been there for a long time. Other than the exposed white parts of the rock, it was covered with green vegetation.
The deeper they went into the Black Forest, the less obvious the influence of the four seasons was. Tónigel was currently in the harsh winter season, but as they went south into the forest, the temperature rose day by day.
The forest in the valley was so dense that it was like midsummer. In the distance, there was a mountain stream that formed a waterfall on the cliff. The water splashed like white silk.
Brando and the rest went down the mountain. At the bottom of the valley, the young lord saw Carglise and his team. They were resting. Meria had sprained her ankle when she entered the valley. She was sitting on a rock beside the pool under the care of a few people.
Brendel glanced at Meria. He already knew who she was, but he accidentally saw her bare calves. Her fat was well-proportioned, and her skin was snow-white. Only her ankle was slightly red and swollen. He could not help but be startled.
He quietly went to Carglise's shoulder and whispered, "Are you sure she's a man?"
Carglise shook his head, "My lord, you know that the Children of God do not have a gender. As long as I wear the divine robe, it doesn't make a difference whether I have an extra piece or not. "
The young man pointed at his chest with a wretched smile and answered in the crude and straightforward manner he had learned in the military camp.
Brando coughed and asked, "Does that mean she's a woman?"
Carglise shrugged. "I didn't say that. Ever since I met Maria, she has been wearing a robe or dressed as a man. I don't think anyone knows this secret except for her father or her wet nurse."
"Meria's father had wanted her to become a member of the clergy since she was very young."
"Isn't this a good thing?"
Carglise smiled mysteriously and replied, "My Lord, let's go down and take a look."
Brando nodded. He glanced at Meria again, and then led the others into the valley. The nest of the five-headed snake lizard had always been in the deepest part of the crevice under the rocks.
Although it was called a crevice, it was relative to the height of the rocks. As Brando walked, he parted the vines that were full of vitality. Many small lizards that he did not know the name of fled in all directions. He looked up and saw the crevice under the rocks that were at least sixteen or seventeen meters high. As for the top of the rocks, he could not see the top from where he stood. A waterfall fell from the edge, forming a water curtain at the intersection of light and darkness.
There was a faint rainbow hanging on the water curtain.
"It's beautiful," Amelia exclaimed as she looked at the rainbow. She felt a sense of security as Brando held her hand.
"It's beautiful," Carglise said as he fanned his metal glove beside his nose. "It's just a little smelly."
A nauseating stench overflowed from the depths of the crevice. Everyone looked in that direction and saw that the crevice, which was tens of meters wide, extended to an unknown depth. It was pitch black inside.
Brando unsheathed Halran Gaia and held it in his hand. The others did the same, and the sound of metal clashing could be heard from behind him.
Only Kodan lit a torch, and the light became brighter, illuminating the potholes on the ground. Some of the broken rocks cast long shadows on the ground, like black lines that led to the depths of the crevice.
"There's a cave in there!" Kodan pointed in that direction and said, "Hey, the terrain here is really strange. I'm surprised that the five-headed snake lizard could find a place like this to build its nest."
Brando also saw that place. It was the deepest part of the crevice. The ground had begun to sink, forming a hole that formed the entrance to a huge cave.
He could imagine that the crevice had already existed before the rock fell. The mountain stream on the cliff had broken through the weaker rocks and flowed into the underground river. After a long period of erosion, it had formed a huge hole.
However, after the rock fell, it had once again covered the entrance to the cave. Coincidentally, it did not completely seal off the entrance, but left a crevice that could be entered.
It had to be said that the terrain was indeed strange.
Brendel gestured, and everyone immediately walked in that direction. The stench was coming from the bottom of the cave. Everyone could see the green stains on the rocks outside the cave entrance. It used to be the entrance where the water from the stream flowed into the ground, but the moss had long withered away.
The entrance to the cave was not small, and could even fit a five-headed snake lizard in and out.
Kodan brought the torch close to the entrance, but under the illumination of the fire, the interior of the cave was still pitch black. They did not know how deep it was. Scarlett did not say a word and picked up a rock from the ground and threw it in.
Bang! After a few seconds, the sound of something colliding came from the bottom of the cave.
Everyone looked at each other. For a moment, they didn't know who should go down first.
Brando knocked on the entrance with Halran Gaia and said to Amandina, "I'll go down and take a look. Wait for me here."
"My lord," Carglise stopped him and said, "Let us go first."
Brando pushed his hand away and chuckled, "Heh, I won't hesitate to ask you to run errands. But compared to being familiar with this place, your experience is still lacking."
He then turned to Felaern and said, "Felaern, come with me."
The older Wild Elf sister froze for a moment and pressed her hand to her chest: "Me?"
She put on a straight face: "I'm an Elementalist, my lord."
"That's not important. Don't forget, cleaning up the battlefield is your job." Brando smiled and replied: "Don't worry, I'll protect you."
"… …"
… …
He had to admit that Soft Hand's luck was indeed very good. The cave was at least a hundred meters deep, but Brendel saw something good the moment he reached the bottom of the cave.
There was a spacious space at the bottom of the cave. It was obvious that the five-headed snake lizard used this place as its nest. In the darkness, in addition to piles of rotten meat and bones, there were some withered twigs in the corner. Brando saw a large number of armor and weapon fragments in the gaps between the twigs.
But that wasn't what he was looking for. What really caught his attention was a metal glove studded with fiery red gems.
Brando's heart skipped a beat. He wasn't sure if that was what he was looking for.
At this time, Felaern, who had activated her Wings of the Wind, floated down from above. She flapped her wings and landed on the ground. She then folded her wings and looked around. She also saw the glove that was glowing in the dark at first glance.
But she didn't ask. According to her logic, Brando would tell her if he wanted to.
Brendel walked over and picked up the metal gauntlet. The green light network on his retina immediately changed, interweaving into rows of words in his vision:
Crimson Blessing, Bahamut's Grip
【Glove】
Armor 2 Defense
Fire Shield 5 Defense
Attack with 10% Fire Damage
【Advanced Alchemy Circle】
The young man couldn't help but praise Martha in his heart when he saw the properties. It really was the legendary Alchemy Glove.
The level of this item was only Fantasy, but in The Amber Sword, it was called a 'Fantasy Artifact'. This was a pun, meaning 'The Crimson Blessing, Bahamut's Grip'. It was not only a Fantasy Artifact, but it also meant that it was even rarer than a real Artifact, so it was called a Fantasy Artifact.
Of course, any Fantasy Artifact was just a price tag for a RMB warrior. But the price on the game's trading website was as high as 30,000 RMB. It was enough to make an ordinary player like him look at it as nothing.
But Brando never thought that he would get this glove in his first exploration of the Dark Forest in this world. Compared to the Five-Headed Snake Lizard he had killed, this thing was like a piece of cake.
He couldn't wait to put on the glove. But at this time, he suddenly heard Felaern whispering behind him. "Look over there, my lord."
Brando turned around.
Then he saw something he couldn't believe at the top of the circular nest made of branches.
It was a snow-white, spherical object about the size of a coconut. It was a little dazzling in the dark underground. There were about 30 of them in the outer layer of the nest.
"Damn! I'm going to be rich this time!" Brendel exclaimed in his mind.
Those were Snake Lizard eggs!
There were at least a hundred of them!
The value of these eggs was enough to buy the whole of Tónigel.
Brando's heart pounded. Those snow-white eggs were like a shining treasure trove in his eyes. The young man was stunned for a moment before he remembered something. He immediately beckoned to Felaern.
"Quick, call the people up there." The young lord took a deep breath. "We have to get these eggs out of here!"
