HP: Embrace the Darkness

The content of the book is about the differences between magical animals and ordinary animals, as well as conjectures on how to train ordinary animals to become magical animals.

The black panther's intelligence is too high, and every move he makes is far from that of ordinary animals.

Aces had to suspect that there was someone behind it, or there was something weird in this rainforest.

With this idea in mind, he opened the book, found the page on how to cultivate, and browsed through the lines at a glance.

The content in the book is mostly filled with all kinds of weird conjectures, and there are many unrealistic methods such as blood exchange.

After reading a few pages, he couldn't stand it anymore.

"Forget it, let nature take its course."

Aces comforted himself, threw the book away, stood up and walked to the window of the tent. A white light flashed, and the man standing in front of the window disappeared in an instant.

Black Panther's guess was correct. He really wanted to go back and take a look and try again.

seeing is believing.

Aces still understands this truth.

The cave remains the same as when I walked in. The dark cave entrance is like a giant python that chooses people to eat, waiting for the prey to be delivered to its mouth.

There was no black panther to stop him this time, and Asseth walked smoothly into the land without grass and trees.

There is no problem. Just like ordinary land, it will be stepped on quietly and will neither attack nor eat people.

He continued walking inside.

There was enough light during the day, and the magic patterns carved on the ground were looming but not obvious.

You can't tell any clues if you don't look carefully.

Aces was very cautious, estimated the distance, stopped at the periphery, kicked away the stones and leaves covering the magic pattern, and squatted down to study it carefully.

"This is... a defensive magic pattern."

After recognizing the first magic pattern, he followed the pattern to find the next interlocking magic pattern.

"Concealed magic patterns, defensive magic patterns, hidden magic patterns, attack magic patterns..."

"The attack didn't start? Why?"

After walking around the cave, Asseth finally figured out the location and number of the magic patterns he saw.

The magic lines are roughly distributed on all the land within a hundred meters of the cave. Each line is connected with each other. The stars and the moon surround the cave, forming a large-scale magic array integrating concealment, defense and attack.

There are the most hidden magic patterns in the magic circle, about ten or so, followed by defensive magic patterns, exactly nine, and only two magic patterns used for attack.

"No, how can there be so few attack magic patterns?"

Aces frowned slightly, thinking about the key.

If you want to protect the secrets of the cave, no matter how few attack magic patterns there are, they must at least be about the same number as the other two types of magic patterns.

Otherwise, the functions of the magic circle are unbalanced and can only defend but not attack. What is the difference between being at the mercy of others?

After thinking for a moment, Ass's eyes turned to the entrance of the cave, which was still cold and air-conditioned in the daytime.

"You still have to go in and take a look."

After saying that, he rechecked his equipment, took out several small wooden birds, filled them with letters one by one, input magic power into them, and activated them.

The wooden bird shook and flew up, flying towards the distant sky.

Assis watched it fly away, then turned and walked towards the gloomy cave.

Now is the time when the sun is at its gentlest and warmest. The warmth it spreads envelopes the earth, but it only bypasses the dry cave, leaving only the dark wind in the cave.

Before Asseth entered the cave, a gloomy wind suddenly blew out of the cave and blew heavily on his face, instantly covering up the warmth left by the sun.

He slowed down and looked back at the warm sunshine a few meters away with doubt in his eyes.

Although I didn't understand why the temperature difference was so big in just a few meters, I still took out my robe and put it on to keep warm before moving on.

Stepping into the cave, the biting cold hit me from all directions, creeping in at every crack, and the skin that was unintentionally exposed suddenly turned slightly red from the cold.

Aces rubbed his hands, gathered his robe, and wrapped himself tightly, leaving no gaps.

Immediately, the sunlight from the door swept through the interior of the cave.

The cave is not big and you can see the bottom at a glance. The surrounding stone walls are rough and there are no traces of human excavation.

The black magic patterns on the stone wall are intertwined and winding to the ground, like intertwined black king snakes.

There are two passages in the innermost part of the cave that lead to unknown directions. The dark wind just blew from the left passage.

Aces looked along the rugged stone wall at the entrance of the cave.

As he watched, his face gradually became serious.

When he saw the node where the passage on the left connected with the magic pattern on the stone wall, his expression changed, and he turned around and wanted to leave.

But it was too late, the magic pattern automatically lit up, and a transparent and invisible barrier covered the entire cave. People outside could not get out, and people inside could not get in.

As soon as the fingertips touched the transparent barrier, there was a "sizzling" corrosion sound, and pain hit.

Aces was startled for a moment, then slowly moved his hand away and looked down, his skin was already red.

Exactly the same defense he left behind in the cellar.

The magic circle didn't give him a chance to continue to be stunned, and the light dimmed, turning into a red light.

Aces stood still, no longer trying to leave the cave, and regardless of the injury on his hand, he waved his wand and the cave was illuminated by a powerful fluorescent spell.

He walked to the junction of the two passages and carefully studied the function of the magic patterns on it.

However, these two kinds of magic patterns are not common magic patterns. Asseth looked at them for a long time and was not sure of their specific functions. He could only confirm that they were not offensive.

Since it's not aggressive, there's nothing to worry about.

With this thought in mind, Asseth randomly picked a passage and walked in. Before entering, he did not forget to leave a locating spell at the entrance of the passage.

The path to the cave passage is very wide, without any obstacles. The surroundings are silent, only the sound of unhurried footsteps echoes.

As Ace walked, his eyes lingered on the magic lines with unknown functions, and he sneered in a low voice, "There are magic circles in the entire cave. It's really a big deal."

He drew up his mental magic pattern and walked to write it down, silently recreating the model of the entire cave in his mind.

The cave is in the shape of a "Y", and at the middle intersection there is a defensive magic circle that looks like a turtle shell. Once you get in, you can't get out, and you can only go down two passages.

Aces rubbed his wand with his fingertips, distractedly thinking.

This may be the reason why Black Panther stopped him - he once broke into a cave by mistake and knew he couldn't get out.

But now that the Black Panther is outside, there are two possibilities.

Either the magic circle will undergo other changes at night and you can go out, or the black panther will find a place to go out and follow the animal's instinct to go out along the windy passage.

The path he was taking was the one with the dark wind coming from him. As of now, there was nothing there. The first path could only be verified at night.

Looking up at the seemingly bottomless passage, Asseth sped up.

After walking about a hundred meters, the unchanging scene in front of me finally changed.

A door that looked like it was made of metal blocked the way.
