Chapter 397 Trap

The third day on Misty Island.

The sun slowly rose from the end of the sea level, and the morning light sprinkled over the entire island.

In places where the fog was thin, due to the scattering of light, a hazy and brilliant light and shadow appeared.

"A little bee, flying in the flowers, flying left, flying right, snap~"

"Ah~"

Beside the campfire with only a few embers left, Spicy Rabbit Head was having fun with Elvy, who had been a little depressed for some time.

Little Elvy was not in a good mood, firstly because too many things had happened during this period, and her grandmother had passed away because of it.

Secondly, Elvy, whose bloodline was closer to that of an elf, had lived in the Elf Forest with a high concentration of magic since birth.

Coming to an environment with a low concentration of magic suddenly was like a person living in a plain suddenly running to a plateau and having a plateau reaction.

It was normal to feel unwell and depressed.

And the environment of this ancient island, Misty Island, was very close to that of the Elf Forest.

Little Elvy felt much more comfortable and in better spirits.

Fren was sitting on a raised stone, concentrating on adjusting the bow in his hand.

His usual weapon had long been taken away by Ioria.

The strong bow in his hand was given to him by Dimitri from the weapons of his guards.

Although it was not a high-quality weapon, it could be used for a while.

With her half-long hair casually gathered on one side of her shoulder and leaning against a sea coconut tree, Karima looked at the sparkling sea, wondering what she was thinking.

As the sun reached the zenith, the mist covering the Misty Island finally dissipated.

Dimitri, who had been waiting impatiently, called everyone together and headed towards the nest of the Phoenix.

The lowly half-blood elves were responsible for clearing the way, defending, and guarding.

Yolanda followed Dimitri closely behind to protect him.

Fren and Kalima, the ranger master and apprentice, wandered in the jungle, expelling all animals and monsters that blocked the way or approached.

With two powerful "heroes" to support them, even if it was as dangerous as the Misty Island in ancient times, everyone was able to advance very quickly.

It only took half an hour to reach the cave where the phoenix disappeared.

The dark cave, like the huge mouth of a ghost that devours life, connects to the abyss of the underworld.

The sound of the wind came from the cave, carrying a chilly and biting cold, which made people's backs tremble in such a hot island.

"Are you sure that the phoenix finally disappeared here?"

Looking at the so-called cave, Kun's eyelids jumped.

Yolanda said unhappily:

"I saw it with my own eyes yesterday, and Fren can prove it.

If you are afraid of the dangers that may be hidden in this cave, you can choose not to go. No one forces you."

Even if he went deep into such a dangerous island, Dimiter, who had always looked leisurely as if he was walking in his own garden, was rarely serious.

"Yolanda.

Be polite to my magic advisor."

"Yes, Grand Duke."

"It's a bit strange. Why would the phoenix choose to build a nest in such a place?"

Before walking to this slightly strange cave, Dimiter carefully observed these sediments that were obviously stalagmites.

But no matter how he looked at it, this was a naturally formed cave.

Looking back in the direction of Kun, he asked in confusion:

"What do you mean?"

Kun smiled and said:

"Cut these stalagmites open and you will know."

"Yolanda."

"Clang~"

The sword light was like water. The next second after Dimiter spoke, Yolanda presented two stalagmites with smooth and flat cross-sections.

Spicy Rabbit Head was excited.

"Master, you saw it all just now, this sword is so cool.

I didn't find any video posted by any player on the forum that can compare with it."

"Cool?

No, it should be that you saw this sword clearly?

Didn't you say that you couldn't catch up with the speed of the sword at all, but you can see it again this time.

Is your vision changing a little too fast?"

"Cool, it's a feeling."

"Okay, after following me for a few days, you can use the stream of consciousness to identify the strong.

Okay, you have improved.

But if you want to talk about cool, those who wield swords and arrows are not as cool as those of us who play magic.

Avada only knows no when eating big melons, which one is cool."

The master and apprentice of Spicy Hot Pot were arguing over who was more handsome.

Dimitri, who got the stalagmite, changed his face. He was confused at first, then suddenly realized, and finally his face was gloomy as if water could drip out.

The milky white stalagmite shell was mixed with some gray-black filaments, entwined and spread all over the inside of the stalagmite.

"Iron Ant Fungus!

This is the nest of the Hill Iron Claw Ant. Why would the Phoenix choose to build a nest here?

We've been fooled."

"What? A trap?!"

Yolanda was shocked at first, and then he became furious.

He didn't know much about the Iron Ant Fungus, but he had heard of the name of the Hill Iron Claw Ant, a social monster that could even hollow out an entire mountain.

Social monsters are the most dangerous type of monster.

It's dangerous enough to encounter them in the wild. If you rush into the nest of a social monster without any precautions, it's no different from seeking death.

Social monsters may not threaten his life, but he is a saint, but Dimit is not.

He is on a mission, his mission is to protect Dimitri, the Grand Duke of the Empire.

If Dimitri encounters any misfortune, he will be blamed for his death.

The question now is, who set this trap?

Was it the Phoenix?

Or...

Someone else?

If it is the former, it is easy to say, but if it is the latter, it will be a big trouble.

The other party has gone through such a big circle, and must be targeting the Grand Duke.

And I am afraid that they are planning to catch them all and bury them all on this isolated island overseas.

I am afraid that there are enemies not only ambushing on this island, but also in their team.

The most suspicious guy...

The suspicious eyes turned around everyone, and finally fell on Kun.

The knight's sword asked faster than words, and before everyone could react, it was already against Kun's throat.

"Are you crazy?"

Spicy Rabbit Head was shocked.

Fren and Kalima, the ranger master and apprentice, immediately drew their bows and aimed their arrows at Yolanda who suddenly jumped up.

"I just need a reasonable explanation."

"Shouldn't you give me an explanation?

If I really want to harm you, why would I bother to remind you that this is a trap?

Could you please use your muscular brain?"

Seeing Yolanda just staring at him without saying a word, Kun chuckled.

It seems that it is not Yolanda who needs an explanation, but someone else.

"Okay, then I'll explain it.

But only this time.

Next time, if you are still so rude, I will twist your head off first.

Then talk about other things."

"Whatever you want."

Yolanda, who believes in her own strength, naturally does not believe Kun's threat.

But Fren secretly feels disdain for Yolanda's self-importance in his heart.

If this guy knew what he and Ioria had experienced.

He would not be so shameless and act rashly.

This guy who looks harmless on the surface can sneak into the Underworld Prison under the Elf Mother Tree and rescue them.

Then he swaggers to the Human Empire and continues to make trouble.

While saying that he is the messenger of the Crescent Moon, he sneaks into the Mage Tower of the Demigod of Life and gains the trust of the Grand Duke of the Empire.

With his knowledge and experience, he can't see what this guy's purpose is.

Anyway, he definitely doesn't want to be an enemy of this terrible guy.

Kun used his fingers to push the knight's sword slightly outward, and said calmly:

"I have been to many places and seen many things that you can't imagine, and I have naturally seen the iron claw ants.

I know you are wondering why you, a dignified holy knight, didn't find any clues of Warcraft activities here.

The Grand Duke who has studied the iron claw ants did not find any abnormalities either.

The answer is simple, because you all trust your own experience too much.

The knowledge and understanding of many things only stay on the most superficial places.

Don't be unwilling to listen, this is the fact.

You only know that the iron claw ants will dig their nests and kingdoms underground.

They will cultivate iron ant fungus crops and food as building materials to strengthen their own kingdoms.

But you don't know that building such a huge kingdom is a very delicate thing, and it also contains a lot of "wisdom"!

When it rains, how does it drain?

If it is dug too deep, will it collapse?

Can the iron ant fungus support such a huge structure and weight?"

Yolanda frowned when he heard this, and Dimiter showed a thoughtful expression.

Kun continued:

"This hole is not the entrance for the iron claw ants to enter and exit, but a vent.

It is a channel used to replace the turbid air of the huge kingdom underground.

After this entrance is built, as long as it is not blocked, the iron claw ants will not interfere.

Slowly, the mist condenses into water, dissolves the rocks, and slowly turns this vent into the natural cave you see now.

Looking at the size of these stalagmites, it would take at least three to five hundred years to grow this big.

The ant nest below will not be small.

Maybe there is a legendary queen waiting for us.

Are you satisfied with this explanation?"
