Chapter 23 Maturity and Steadiness (2)

In the early morning, the sunlight was broken into golden dots by the fine leaves in the dense woods, and sprinkled on Crescent Bay.

A false-toothed bird flew over the sea, and the gusts of wind from its wings stirred up ripples. This huge water bird that looks a bit like a pelican likes to fly along the coast and prey on offshore fish. Therefore, Crescent Bay will be visited by them from time to time.

When it leisurely spread its wings and flew over a wooden roof on the island, the loud shouting in the house reached its ears.

"Has Karin brought any soup?"

"Bring it!"

"Have you brought the secondary antidote?"

"I've brought it, I've brought the medicine and wine, and I've brought everything to eat and drink!"

"Do you have a gun?"

"I brought it! I also brought the shield!"

"Have you brought all the bullets and arrows?"

"I brought it! I also brought the grappling hook!!!!"

"Do you really know how to use that grappling hook? How about I..."

"I really know how to do it! I'm not stupid!!"

The people talking in the wooden house were Tuotuo and Qiao Liang. They were ready to go and were about to head to the lava cave where the Stable Artifact was located.

As a final check before leaving, Qiao Liang asked Tuotuo many times carefully. His overly cautious behavior made Tuotuo feel like her parents would take the trouble to chat with her when she was about to go back to study at a foreign university after the summer vacation.

The carapace armor she was wearing at the moment was specially dyed with yellow and green dyes by herself. It was said that the inspiration came from the scarab beetles she had raised before, but the color was exactly the same as the dung beetle domesticated at home, which matched her petite size. Her body shape made her look like a dung beetle.

She held the iron shield in her hand, and in addition to the double-shot shotgun, there were four crossbows attached to her waist. The long-barreled rifle was carried on her back. In addition, there was a backpack that was taller than her, filled with various supplies and wooden building materials.

Although she tossed and turned late into the night due to nervousness last night, she was full of energy when she heard her shouting now, and her little person was jumping up and down amidst the shouting. It was obvious that she was in a good state of mind.

Li Hongying, leaning on the wooden door, watched the two people chattering and noisy, with a slight smile on her beautiful face.

She turned her head and looked outside the door. The weather today was sunny, which was a good day to go out. But will it go well?

In the past half month, according to Qiao Liang's arrangements, they were quite well prepared. But according to what Qiao Liang said, the difficulty of obtaining this stable artifact is much higher than that of the hunter artifact.

She and Qiao Liang almost died last time.

A faint worry floated in Li Hongying's heart, but when she came back to her senses, Tuotuo had already rushed past her impatiently. Her graceful and light long legs crossed the threshold and rushed towards the world outside. At the same time, she also let out a cheerful cry. sound:

"Everything is ready, let's go!"

……

The location of the lava cave is on the coast directly opposite Crescent Bay. Not long after the raft was on the sea, Qiao Liang pointed and the two of them saw the deep cave entrance quietly embedded in the mountain wall.

The three of them got off the raft, rode on the raptor, and stood at the entrance of the cave. The temperature here hasn't changed much yet, only the faint hot wind blows out from inside, and behind you, the cool sea breeze blows, giving people an alternative feeling of two heavens of ice and fire.

Tuotuo picked up the crossbow, his fingers turned white from the exertion, and his body was completely tense from the tension.

Qiao Liang held up his shield and rode the raptor inside, followed closely by Li Hongying on Jue Niang. The last adventure in the Hunter Artifact Cave made her realize that the length of the iron sword was not enough when fighting on horseback. At this time, the original intention was pinned to her waist, and she was holding an iron spear in her hand.

Tuotuo followed immediately on a raptor, and the remaining three raptors also entered the cave one after another.

As they went deeper, the surrounding temperature increased significantly. The soil and rocks underfoot began to turn white due to years of burning, and the air close to the ground also produced mirages due to the high temperature, distorting everything within sight as if they were illusions. The scalding heat wave hit me head-on, and my skin was sore from the unstoppable sweat. After that, Tuotuo felt that she was sealed in the furnace, the air seemed to be solidified, and there was no wind at all. The pain of being in the scorching heat made her suffocate.

She saw the expressions of Qiao Liang and Li Hongying, and she obviously felt uncomfortable. They didn't come in very fast, but the sudden increase in temperature caught them off guard. The three of them stopped and took out the Karin soup that had been prepared in advance.

After drinking the sweet and sour Karin soup in one gulp, Tuotuo felt refreshed, and the unbearable heat around him seemed to have been dissipated a bit. Even though it was still hot and uncomfortable, it was finally within a tolerable range.

After thinking for a while, she took off her carefully dyed carapace helmet, which really made her feel better.

Qiao Liang and Li Hongying were wearing full sets of iron armor. In such an environment, the metal armor pieces conducted high temperatures from time to time, making them no different from steamed cans. But the situation of the two seemed to be better than that of Tuotuo. They just drank the Karin soup, wiped their sweat, and continued moving forward.

At this time, they had descended to a position completely far away from the light source outside the cave, but the entire cave was not dark, and was even a little bright.

In front, the pure white crystal inserted into the stone wall that should have reflected the white shimmer has been dyed red by the red firelight. A waterfall of lava rolled down the stone wall, illuminating the entire underground space. In front of the magma waterfall, in the passage on the right, they just looked around a corner and saw a dense crowd of clawed bats resting upside down on the cave roof, and the latter also discovered them.

This type of clawed bat mainly feeds on mushrooms and moss in caves, but this does not mean that they do not like meat. On the contrary, they are extremely ferocious. Originally, flying in caves should be difficult, and the vision of this species that has lived underground for a long time has almost completely degraded. However, relying on smell and echolocation, they can still easily adapt to the environment.

The height of each clawed bat is similar to that of a human, and even the position of the facial features is somewhat similar to that of humans. The wide wingspan was spread out, the fangs were thick, and the black body hair was floating, just like a demon in human myths and legends.

At the moment, a swarm of black clawed bats fluttered towards them, and it was impossible to count how many there were at the moment. The sense of oppression was enough to collapse any human being who had never experienced harm in peaceful times.

A whistle sounded, and the three raptors rushed forward under Qiao Liang's command. Velociraptors are experts at killing creatures that are about the same size as humans. Perhaps the ability of clawed bats to fly is a nuisance, but the space in the cave is not very spacious, and there is not much room for these clawed bats to move when faced with the attack of the raptors.

After just one encounter, several clawed bats were caught by the Velociraptor and bitten until their flesh and blood flew everywhere. But the killing efficiency of three raptors is not enough to block all the clawed bats. The scattered clawed bats broke through their obstacles and rejoined into a black cloud not far away, pressing heavily towards the three of them.
