After climbing down for about 90 meters, they finally reached the deepest part.

Fang Heng was in the middle of the team.

He surveyed his surroundings and realized that he was in the familiar catacombs area again.

An open area supported by stone pillars.

!!

The stone pillars were naturally formed with fluorescent stones that emitted a faint light. There were also strange fungi growing around them, many of which could emit a dim light.

The visibility in the catacombs was not as good as the outside world, but it was not completely impossible to see.

Fortunately, at least the catacombs did not show any signs of collapsing.

Fang Heng heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

Mo Jiawei turned around and looked at Argyll, a very thin middle-aged man at the back of the team.

“Hey, expert, what do you say?”

Argyll followed the team down the rock wall. He looked around at the scene around the cave. His memory seemed to have been triggered, and he stood in place in a daze.

A mage’s forgetting spell required the cooperation of the caster, and the effect was extremely effective.

But occasionally, some profound memories would leave a mark in his brain, such as some residual images.

“Nothing, I just saw some images. I think we were exploring this way back then.”

As he spoke, Argyll stretched out his hand and pointed to the side.

“Okay, let’s go. Be careful.”

The group did not waste any time and followed Argyll’s directions carefully.

As they went deeper, the surrounding catacomb environment gradually changed.

Huge pillars were used as support and they were more than ten times denser than before.

Another stone forest area?

Fang Heng frowned.

All of a sudden, the players’ hearts skipped a beat as a game notification popped up.

[Hint: The current player team has entered a special environment.]

[Hint: The player has triggered the main trial mission-Guardian of the catacombs.]

Mission: Guardian of the catacombs.

Mission difficulty: C.

Mission description: Search for clues. You have tried to explore the catacombs that were caused by the earth vein anomaly. Please try to continue exploring and trigger the mission.

Mission requirement: Explore until a new mission is triggered.

The players exchanged glances.

It seemed that they had guessed correctly this time. The catacombs had a close connection with the main storyline.

C-level missions were not that difficult.

“Wait!”

Fang Heng, who was walking in front of the team, suddenly raised his hand to signal the team to stop. He whispered, “Guys, listen.”

Listening carefully, everyone could hear the sound of fighting coming from afar.

It sounded a little intense.

Wei Tao’s expression turned serious as he waved to a young man in his team, “Art, go and take a look at the situation first. Pay attention to hiding and don’t alert the other party. If you find anything, come back and report immediately.”

“Roger.”

In this team battle, the players brought in many players with special talents.

Art was one of them. He was extremely good at concealing his aura and scouting.

Fang Heng’s eyes lit up.

He saw the figure of the player named Art gradually fade into the air until he blended into the background of the entire cave.

What further surprised Fang Heng was that Art’s aura had also dropped to the lowest point.

If not for careful observation, it would have been impossible to notice.

As Art walked forward, his aura gradually disappeared from Fang Heng’s perception.

After about three minutes, Art returned and revealed himself in the air.

“I’ve checked. There’s a small team of cave-dwelling beasts fighting a large horned dragon beast. It looks like they’re hunting.”

Hunting?

The crowd frowned and looked at each other.

“From our previous analysis, we can’t be sure that the cave-dwelling beast is the enemy,” Wei Tao said softly.

“It’s very likely that Tang Mingyue has reached some kind of agreement with the cave-dwelling beast. The box we found in the cave before is probably what the cave-dwelling beast wanted to give us.”

“So they’re giving us an empty box?”

Mo Jiawei felt that things were not that simple. He shrunk his neck and looked at Tang Mingyue. He whispered, “Don’t tell me he’s a liar?”

“We can’t rule out this possibility. Fortunately, we’ve brought an expert who knows the language of the creatures living in the cave. We should be able to communicate with them.”

Wei Tao thought for a moment and continued, “Let’s go closer and take a look. We can consider helping the cave-dwelling beasts. We can try to communicate with them in a friendly manner.”

...

Everyone nodded in agreement.

It was best not to make a move if possible.

“If the cave-dwelling beasts in the catacombs refuse to cooperate, then capture them alive. It’s the same as getting information from their mouths.” As he spoke, he flipped the blade in his hand, nodded, and said, “Leave this to me.”

Time was of the essence in the trial. Seeing that no one had any objections, Wei Tao immediately waved his hand to confirm the action.

The team carefully explored the area where the cave-dwelling beasts were fighting.

Fang Heng was walking in front of the team, a layer of dark light attached to his pupils.

Not far ahead, there were about twelve cave-dwelling beasts in a team.

They surrounded a large horned dragon beast in an orderly manner.

The horned dragon beast had a strong and huge body, and its skin was covered with thick scales. It had already been firmly trapped by the large network of cave-dwelling beasts and was struggling on the spot.

“Horned dragon beasts are very common magic creatures in the catacombs. Their bodies are generally large. This is considered a large one.”

Argyll, the catacombs expert, followed beside the crowd and explained in a low voice, “Its attack method is magic attack and impact. It’s safer to use long-range attacks.”

...

Wei Tao nodded his head and sized up the battle.

The horned dragon beast relied on its unique magic talent to continuously release magical earth spikes in the surroundings, trying to cause damage to the team of cave-dwelling beasts.

The ground beneath the cave-dwelling beasts’ feet was constantly jutting out, but they seemed to have some kind of special ability that allowed them to dodge in advance in most situations.

“Go! Help them!”

At Tang Mingyue’s command, she led the players and scuttled out from the back.

The elites of the Empire drew their bows and aimed at the horned dragon beast.

“Chi! Chi Chi Chi!”

A dense rain of arrows continued to fall.

The arrows used by the Empire’s elite soldiers all had the effect of armor break. They pierced deep into the horned dragon beast’s body, leaving many wounds.

The horned dragon beast was trapped in the net and couldn’t dodge. It could only take the beating passively. It let out a shrill cry and struggled even more.

However, the more it struggled, the faster the blood flowed out of the wound.

When the cave-dwelling beasts saw the human team enter the battlefield, they were a little confused at first.

However, they quickly stabilized themselves and backed away in cooperation. In the end, they simply left the range of the battle and carefully observed the group of humans and the horned dragon beast.

Soon, the horned dragon beast trapped in the net stopped breathing.

It was only then that the group realized that the team of cave-dwelling beasts behind them had gathered around a batch of materials and was on guard.

“Maybe they’re not a hunting team, but a transport team. They were attacked by the horned dragon beast while transporting the materials.”

Everyone looked at each other.

The catacomb expert Argyll took the lead, shouting “Gulu Gulu” sounds, and led the group forward carefully, trying to communicate with the other team of cave-dwelling beasts.
