Chapter 125: Fighting the Behemoth

Ivan and his companions traveled at full speed all the way to Stone Creek Town. They passed by the town not far away and headed straight for the magic stone mine.

After dismounting and walking for a long time in the forest, they came to an inconspicuous ravine.

Led by Heidi, they came to the interior of the magic stone mine through a rock passage. They had no idea how big the space was until they came in. There were many small houses that could accommodate people, and a pass guarding the mine.

"Be careful."

Heidi stepped forward and printed a crystal clear token on the stone wall that blocked the pass, revealing a thick protective film covered with various lines.

Ivan was excited to see the prey and tried to identify one or two, but he immediately felt dazzled and quickly looked away.

Seeing Heidi come to her senses, Walban asked hurriedly, "How?"

"Nothing unusual was found." Heidi frowned and replied. After a few seconds, she added, "In this case, we can only go into the mining area to explore."

They found nothing unusual last time, so they had no hope this time. Now they had given up hope, so it was only right for them to go deep into the mine to explore. They were not going to go through the narrow tunnel in their memory.

Heidi took a deep breath and pressed the token onto the stone wall again. The token and the protective film merged together, and another spell came out of her mouth.

The protective membrane began to ripple, and a deep passage suddenly appeared on one side, with the barriers on both sides of the passage shaking constantly.

"Follow up."

Heidi quickly took off the token and was the first to enter the exposed passage on the side, followed by the others.

It was gray all around. After a while, they ran out of the passage one by one. The moment the last person came out, the entrance of the passage closed, making Cook, who was the last one to come out, sweat for himself.

Heidi, the leader, was also very tired, with sweat on her forehead.

In front of everyone, she drank two potions, one to replenish her spiritual power and the other to replenish her magic power, which made others jealous.

'So rich.'

Gina mouthed something to Ivan on the side.

Ivan was speechless. In fact, he was also envious. He had potions to replenish his magic power, but he had no potions to replenish his spiritual power. Anything related to the spirit was scarce. If he completed the task this time, he could consider exchanging the prescription.

At this time, they had come to a dim underground cave. There was no other light around except some plants and stones emitting faint light.

"The concentration of energy particles here is a bit low."

"My spiritual power is inexplicably suppressed. I estimate that I can only exert 80% of my strength."

Someone told his discovery that this place gave people a cold and depressing feeling. No one knew whether it was the influence of the magic stone mine or the influence of the protective formation. Even one's own strength was restricted.

Heidi said: "It's normal."

After comforting everyone, she took out a piece of blood from the nose of the Modo two-headed dog as a spell material, cast the tracking spell, and a black two-headed dog was generated.

This kind of tracking technique is more appropriately called "search technique".

Led by the black two-headed dog, the group hurried along the cave, going deeper and deeper into the magic stone mining area.

The journey was too quiet. Ivan could sense that the cold and gloomy atmosphere around him had become thicker, with shadow particles overwhelming other energy particles.

In the distance, they saw an area covered with bones. The scene in Yusai's memory appeared before their eyes faithfully, but the lines arranged around it had been erased. The bone pit seemed to have become the lair of some large beast.

They couldn't help but slow down their pace and move forward towards the bone pit step by step.

"Hiss."

Before they could get close, a crackling sound came from the bones, and a huge creature emerged from it. Its body was more than two stories high. It was a white-scaled snake with black stripes all over it. The white-scaled giant snake looked down at the uninvited guest.

Not far around it, thirty or forty skeletons and mummies were also startled and stood up shakily.

I never thought that even undead creatures were born here.

"Quick victory!"

Heidi and Wolfan looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes. They gave orders to their teams.

"You use lightning spells."

Heidi then emphasized that the two of them set an example by casting powerful, optimized spells.

'Double condensation chain'

Heidi used the spell materials to cast the spell first. A torrent emerged and turned into two thick chains that locked the giant white-scaled snake and pulled it outwards from the left and right.

The giant white-scaled snake swung its body, trying to break free from the chains, but the liquid that made up the chains was like a sticky gel, with great toughness and strength. No matter how the giant white-scaled snake swung its body, it could not break free from the chains.

'Thunder Dance'

Walban's spell worked, and the two-finger-thick lightning spear hit the giant white-scaled snake.

This attack not only created a bloody hole, but also spread lightning and thunder in all directions, making the giant snake's body stiff and numb.

Others cast spells one after another, but they were obviously inferior to Walban's. The numerous attacks made the white-scaled giant snake wail incessantly.

What to do if you don't know how to cast lightning spells? You can only clear out the skeletons and mummies around you. The two of them swayed and looked not very strong, and actually they were not very strong either. Ivan summoned a blood-red dove.

With the cooperation of others, all the undead creatures around were quickly wiped out.

There was only one enemy left, a giant white-scaled snake that was still alive despite being bathed in lightning. At this time, Heidi had already cast the double condensed water chain for the second time.

Ivan took back the blood-red dove and looked at the huge battle scene in front of him. He was ashamed to find that he could not intervene. Sending out Xunmu Silkworm would only cause it to be accidentally killed by lightning, which would be a loss.

Compared with the other third-class apprentices present, his accumulated foundation was far behind.

He took a few steps back angrily and stopped abruptly. Amid the noisy figures around him, he heard unusual movements under his feet thanks to the excellent hearing brought by his bat eyes.

"Be careful, there's something under your feet."

Ivan shouted loudly to all around, and then he accelerated his pace and retreated backwards.

Some people retreated with him alertly, such as Gina, while others just stood two or three steps away, such as Hosole.

As soon as the loud shout came, the place where he was standing originally was filled with mud and rocks, and two huge bodies like rocks jumped out, and then another giant beast showed up, a pair of them, and they seemed to be covered with a dense and thick layer of iron armor.

The huge bodies of the two armored beasts swept across a large area, and their appearance knocked three apprentices away. Hosole, who was just beside Ivan, was knocked away, as well as two apprentices from the hunting team.

Ivan and Gina evacuated in time and avoided the attack of the giant beast.

When they looked closely, they found that they were two demonized pangolins about eight or nine meters long. The scales on their bodies that looked like armor showed that they were not easy to mess with.

The demonized pangolin used its huge body to block the entrance and exit of the bone pit, and the giant white-scaled snake inside was about to escape.

In the blink of an eye, the situation was reversed and the apprentice was in a disadvantageous situation.
