Spirit summons? I want to do it myself!

Lido quickly found the entrance to the lava cave. In fact, there was more than one entrance. Lido used her mental power to roughly scan the surface of the mountain and found three entrances.

However, these entrances were not open to the sky for people to discover, but were blocked by rocks and soil.

It might be that it was blocked intentionally by the legion's people after the siege of the monster's nest was over. It was probably to prevent animals in the mountains and forests from entering the lava cave and being contaminated and turned into demonic creatures, and also to create some trouble for the monsters coming out later.

Although the uncomfortable atmosphere had dissipated a lot and became less obvious after the mountain turned into a scorched earth, it still made people instinctively dislike it.

Generally speaking, animals with sensitive senses will not approach here, but there are always some less sensitive animals that may choose to enter the cave. Especially in such a cold snowy season, it is not surprising that it is used as a warm nest for the winter.

Therefore, it was necessary to block the entrance to the cave, although it created a lot of difficulties for Lido to find the entrance.

Lido believed that there must be more than three entrances to the lava cave in such a large monster nest, but Lido only detected the surface soil of the mountain, that is, the scorched soil layer, with her mental power, and did not conduct deeper detection.

On the one hand, Lido didn't want to spend too much energy on finding the entrance to the cave. This mountain was not small, and if she did a full-depth exploration, even Lido would find it difficult.

On the other hand, since the lava cave is inside the mountain, even if the surface of the mountain is scorched, there will definitely be a dark atmosphere emanating from the lava cave. The surface soil may not be re-contaminated for the time being, but it is hard to say about the deep soil.

In this way, if Lido detects the deep soil on a large scale, it is very likely to be contaminated by the dark aura, so she must be on guard!

Speaking of which, since the lava cave cannot be destroyed, and the vitality of this mountain has long been cut off, it is impossible to prevent the dark breath from infiltrating into the surface soil, so the monster's nest will reappear sooner or later!

However, if the monsters in the lava caves are killed regularly and the topsoil of the mountain is scorched regularly, then the range of the monster nests will not expand and the scope of pollution will not increase.

Perhaps after dozens or hundreds of years, the forest may slowly cover the entire mountain from the edge, and once again confine the monster's nest to the lava cave.

For example, the small lava cave inside the academy’s field training area did not form a monster nest outside the cave.

In other words, in most areas of the lava caves, as long as there are no problems with the local city hall, the Elf Temple, the Summoner Corps and other institutions, and they can promptly investigate and deal with abnormal situations, such a large-scale monster nest will not form outside the caves.

All I can say is that Baishi Town and several surrounding towns are unlucky, as they have encountered the psychopaths from the Doomsday Carnival Cult causing trouble here.

Liduo personally believed that such a major incident deep in the Daqing Mountains could not be concealed by a city hall governor of Baishi Town. There must be members of the Doomsday Carnival Cult playing similar roles in the official institutions of other surrounding towns!

However, Liduo didn't know whether they were caught or not, how they were dealt with, etc. Without relevant sources of information, it was impossible to even make any guesses.

Collecting her thoughts, Lido walked towards the nearest entrance. In Lido's opinion, it didn't matter which entrance she chose, so she would just go in whichever one was more convenient.

However, there is still a lot of preparation to be done before entering the lava cave.

The first thing to do is to dig up the blocked entrance, and then allow at least a few hours of ventilation before entering.

The lava cave has been blocked for more than a year. The underground cave has poor ventilation to begin with, not to mention the various harmful gases produced by lava and various monsters, as well as the dark aura emanating from the depths of the cave. After being blocked like this, it permeates the cave, and no one is able to enter now!

Even when opening a cave, it is best to do it from a distance. And during the initial period of opening the cave, do not get close to the cave, otherwise you might die before you even start!

It looks like this is going to be a protracted war!

So Lido was not in a hurry to open the sealed cave entrance. She first chose a suitable place to build a temporary shelter with ice!

Lido walked around the entrance of the cave, and then carefully explored it with her mental power. Finally, she chose a relatively open and flat place in the nearby mountains and forests, but backed by a huge rock, as the place to build a shelter.

The most important thing is that this place is in the upwind position, and the air coming out of the cave entrance cannot blow here.

Lido used some special moves from Qingfeng Zhan, summoning a tornado that swept away all the floating snow on the surface, and cut the hardened ice below into brick-sized blocks and put them aside.

Then Lido used the Locke Greatsword to cut a three-meter square flat stone slab from the boulder and placed it on the location she had chosen to build the igloo as a floor.

Then they dug a trench more than one meter deep along the edge of the stone slab, piled ice bricks into it, and used melted snow water as adhesive to build four walls layer by layer. A door was left on one side of one of the walls, but it was not big, just enough for one person to pass through.

Of course, just in case, the door is located on the side facing away from the cave entrance.

When the wall was about 2.4 meters above the ground, Liduo stopped building the wall. Then she cut out a flat stone slab from the boulder that was slightly larger than the stone slab that served as the floor, but thinner than the previous one.

This slab of stone was to serve as the ceiling. Lido first dug grooves on the tops of the four walls, then installed the slab of stone in them, and then laid a whole piece of ice brick that was slightly larger than the slab of stone and fit the edges of the four walls tightly on top of the slab of stone, and then poured a layer of water on the inside and outside of the wall. Once the water froze, this simple ice house was completed.

The reason for using slate to make the floor and ceiling is to prevent the ground from becoming wet and muddy when Lido makes a fire in the igloo, and to prevent the ice on the roof from melting and dripping due to the rising temperature.

In this way, even if the ice melts and water is released, it will only seep into the ground along the wall and will not affect Lido's rest and activities inside.

In short, Lido was very satisfied with this shelter. She also installed an ice door on it and left a ventilation hole above the door.

After the shelter was built, Lido put her luggage into the igloo, picked up a few stones from outside and built a simple earthen stove. Then she went to the forest to pick up dry branches to use as firewood.

It was all busy until dark, and we had to prepare for the night.

Fortunately, with the help of mental detection, day and night are actually the same for Lido.

Liduo first patrolled around the mountain and found nothing unusual.

Then Lido planned to dig the entrance to the cave. After digging, it should take about a night for ventilation. Lido should be able to enter the cave to explore tomorrow morning.

If you want to get away from the entrance and dig up the rocks and soil that block the entrance, you can only rely on Qingfeng Zhan.

Fortunately, Qingfengzhan's moves include various ways to resonate with the wind magic element. It can chop out wind blades, summon tornadoes, and control the collision of wind groups to create explosion-like effects.

So when Lido used all her tricks, the entrance to the lava cave had no choice but to open its door to Lido.

The moment the cave entrance was penetrated, Lido felt the wind direction change, and the air around her began to flow violently toward that direction.

Lido hurriedly retreated a farther distance, fearing that she would be contaminated by the harmful gases coming out of the cave.

Afterwards, Lido made a fire in the igloo and cooked snow banyan mushroom soup, while using her mental power to monitor the entrance to the lava cave from a distance.

A few hours passed, and before Lido was ready to go to bed, no monsters were seen coming out. It seemed that the monsters in this lava cave had not yet recovered to a certain scale.

This is good news for Lido.

Before Lido closed the door of the igloo and crawled into her sleeping bag to fall asleep, she summoned Fumei to help keep watch and gave her some careful instructions before closing her eyes.

Of course, this also means that Lido cannot sleep soundly, but instead uses deep meditation to replace sleep. Otherwise, when Lido loses consciousness, Fumei will be forcibly recalled to the elf position.

Although it is not as helpful as deep sleep for physical recovery, it has no problem restoring mental strength.

With crispy pork with pork skin and snow mushroom soup, physical strength is not a problem.
