Sheyan turned back to look, suddenly noticing Phelps who was the last to leave. His eyes were filled with madness, despair and unwillingness. His heart suddenly felt like it was struck by a huge force. Before entering the realm, he was chased by those thugs until he had nowhere to run, wasn't he the same as Phelps?
Thinking of that, Sheyan rushed to Phelps' side, grabbing onto his shoulder and dragging him forward. Phelps' eyes revealed a grateful expression, but for the sake of survival, he frantically sprinted forward. At this moment, Deke also turned back, supporting another familiar support type contestant as they rushed forward! As the saying goes, some people are happy while others are sad. Unfortunately, the other support type contestant naturally fell behind. Just as he was about to speak, a gigantic shadow swung its tail and pounced towards him, bringing with it a pungent stench that overwhelmed his nostrils! The other shadows also charged forward, mournful screams followed. Following that were sounds of bones and flesh being ripped apart and swallowing sounds.
At this moment, the frantically sprinting Phelps panted heavily, he suddenly whispered to Sheyan.
"Seaman, continue running, don't raise your head, and don't reveal a surprised expression. What I'm about to tell you is very important, I reckon I'm going to die here! I'm afraid the reason why the Metals professor and Fanu brought us here, is to use our lives to fill the traps and mechanisms. " “
"Fanu thought I didn't know about the high level creatures behind us, so he spoke without thinking. But he didn't know I've heard about them a few days ago when I was working in the pet shop." Their original name is Black Snake Crocodile, they used the river's temperature to incubate their eggs. Not only are they not gentle, they are exceptionally savage. They will crazily attack any creature that approaches. But if Fanu spoke the truth, they would have to stop and clear these creatures. That would waste a lot of time, and they definitely wouldn't be able to catch up to the Banks Syndicate. “
At present, the sounds of the Black Snake Crocodile could no longer be heard. Everyone stopped and panted heavily, drinking some water to recover their strength. Phelps also shut his mouth in time. But even if Deke and the other support type contestant didn't know that Fanu was lying, they weren't fools. Thinking back to the previous process, their hearts were naturally filled with anger and suspicion.
Obviously, the Metals professor was aware of the awkward atmosphere in the party. After a moment of silence, he calmly said.
"Next, Fanu and I will lead the way."
As he spoke, he took the lead and walked in front.
At this time, the path of retreat had been blocked by the group of Black Snake Crocodiles. Even if they wanted to retreat, they couldn't. Even if the remaining people were dissatisfied, they could only follow silently.
After walking for nearly half an hour, the hot spring stream had long disappeared. What was even more strange was that the fluorescent light on the wall had also gradually disappeared. In front of them was an indescribable darkness. At this point, even Deke who was the most loyal to the Metals professor halted his footsteps.
"Teacher, we can't go any further."
The Metals professor turned his head, coldly saying.
"Fanu and I will lead the way, what are you afraid of?"
The support type contestant who was saved by Deke barely survived. Facing the threat of death, he disregarded the Metals professor's authority and protested.
"Did someone else lead the way just now? But didn't someone still die? Teacher, if you have any relevant information please take it out for everyone to analyze. Honestly speaking, we are already prepared to face death in this realm. But at least let us die knowing the truth! "
The Metals professor glared at him for an entire 5 minutes, like a wolf staring at a sheep. Beads of perspiration dripped down from the contestant's forehead. But at this moment, Phelps stood up and coldly said.
"I feel that he's right."
Deke didn't express his opinion, but hugged his bow and sat down. He directly used his body language to vent his resentment.
Sheyan shrugged his shoulders, spreading out his hands and laughed.
"This damned place is already dangerous, to grope our way forward in the darkness is really playing with our lives. I don't approve of stopping, but I approve of finding something to illuminate the area." “
"We can't illuminate the area." Fanu coldly said. "Ahead is a huge area of devil's vines. They are immune to all sorts of injuries. Once they come into contact with something that struggles violently, they will tighten their grip! As long as they don't struggle, they will let go. But once they come into contact with light, these terrifying vines will be agitated and crazily pounce forward, grabbing onto you tightly! You won't be able to escape! "
"You guys should know about the original storyline right? When Dumbledore was guarding the philosopher's stone, he also made use of these vines. But, the devil's vines he planted in Hogwarts' secret room were temporarily transplanted. Their scale was only a hundredth of this place. Therefore, when they came into contact with that little girl's magical illumination, they instantly withered. But here ….. in this area of thousands of years old devil's vines, if anyone dares to use light to illuminate, then they will suffer the most terrifying retaliation of the devil's vines! "
Phelps suddenly said.
"The devil's vine is a type of plant with strong invasive properties. In the storyline, the devil's vine was placed under the Cerberus Furry's nest. It can consume the excrement of the Cerberus as food. But, what does the devil's vine use as food? "
When he spoke, Fanu's gaze was like two needles piercing into Phelps' face. Phelps sneered as though he didn't feel anything.
"It's a type of beetle! This type of beetle is similar to the Egyptian scarabs. They use the devil's vine as a nest to protect their larvae. Here is an underground river, these beetles can prey on the fishes in the water. Their excrement can support the devil's vine's survival. If we rush in, most of us will survive. But, there will be one or two who will be drilled through by the scarabs. They will experience the agony of having their organs parasitized, before dying! "
With Phelps' words, it was obvious that unless the remaining 3 were idiots, even if they were sentenced to death, it would be better than suffering such torment! They definitely wouldn't be willing to take another step forward. At this moment, the Metals professor stood up. He stared at Phelps and said word by word.
"Very good, you did well. If not for your reminder, then our guild would have lost another brother. Although Fanu's knowledge is extensive, but there are still areas he didn't consider. Since that's the case, then leave the task of clearing this path to us. "
Following that, the Metals professor gazed at Fanu, calmly saying.
"Call out Ironhorn, use him to clear the path! A mere devil's vine, it definitely won't be able to withstand his brute strength! "
Then the Metals professor waved his hand, probably casting an illumination spell. Instantly, everyone could see that at the end of the cave, there was a layer of black ferocious claws. It occupied at least a few thousand square metres, and was distributed on both sides of the path. It was hard to describe the characteristics of this thing. Accurately speaking, a human's cancer cells magnified by a few hundred thousand times would be similar to this thing.
When the light shone on the devil's vine, it instantly boiled up like a viscous liquid, before transforming into countless thick black tentacles that danced wildly! It looked like the end of the world, like a scene straight out of hell. Near the devil's vine, there were several black dots crawling around. They should be the scarabs that Phelps mentioned.
That plate-armored stegosaurus' iron-horned temperament was clearly exceptionally irascible. The moment it was summoned, it roared towards the sky and began to paw the ground with its massive hooves. It felt like a racing car that was about to step on the accelerator. Then after Fanu and the Metals professor boarded it, it charged forward with incomparable ferocity! The ground started to tremble as the iron horn slowly accelerated. Following the thumping sounds of running, this prehistoric ferocious beast had already charged forward without a care in the world!
Sheyan and the rest didn't dare to delay, they hurriedly followed.
The devil's vines were indeed terrifying. Even with the monstrous strength of the stegosaurus, it could only sprint for 50 metres before being tightly entangled by the surrounding tentacles. Yet at this moment, the Metals professor displayed an exceedingly formidable magic ability. An illumination spell was cast, directly causing the devil's vines to dance in a mournful manner. Large amounts of white fumes were emitted. This way, the iron horn could charge forward for another 10 metres.
However, the Metals Professor wasn't as perverse as Dumbledore. His illumination spell only lasted for 5-6 seconds at most. Hence, the devil's vines returned in a swirl of dust. They still had to rely on the stegosaurus to resist. After repeating this process, they finally broke through the encirclement of the devil's vines. However, Ironhorn's stegosaurus had been peeled off a large amount of its flesh and bone plates. It suffered a rather heavy injury as it laid on the ground and wailed incessantly. The Metals Professor who had released close to 20 illumination spells was also greatly injured. He panted violently, and even if his MP wasn't completely depleted, it was at least a trickle.
Even the 4 following behind had their numbers reduced. This time, Deke met with an accident while following the stegosaurus. Several scarabs suddenly fell from above and broke through his defences. He instantly fell to the ground, and could only try his best to prevent the scarabs from entering his body.
Just as he was about to be devoured. The support type contestant that Deke had previously rescued bravely stepped forward, releasing a large fireball spell to annihilate the encircling scarabs. But the fireball's remnant force affected the devil's vine! Instantly, the support type contestant was entangled by the devil's vine's wildly dancing tentacles. Although he immediately stopped moving according to Fanu's instructions, the surrounding scarabs swarmed over like ants searching for food. (To be continued.
