Chapter 168: The End: The Howling Cave of Terror
Before long, everyone reached the top of the mountain safely.
The weather is exceptionally cold.
Looking down from the top of the mountain, a stretch of mountains comes into view.
"Woo——"
Just as Ye Tian was trying to determine the direction, a sharp roar sounded without warning.
The shrill scream echoed among the mountains.
The echo, like the howling of ghosts and wolves, scared everyone and even made their backs feel a chill.
The screaming sound did not disappear, but instead echoed among the mountains.
Bai Xiaomo and Mina couldn't help but cover their ears.
About a quarter of an hour later, the heart-pounding sound began to weaken until it completely disappeared.
"Good guy"
Ye Tian frowned and scratched his ear.
Now he understood why it was called the Wailing Cave of Fear.
"This noise is too loud, and we are so far away. If it really happened in the cave, I'm afraid our ears would be deafened."
Li Xin said with lingering fear.
"That's a problem."
The other girls also nodded slightly.
"The Alliance is really something. They didn't explain this situation at all in the mission. Isn't this just cheating us?"
Bai Xiaomo couldn't help but complain softly.
Ye Tian just smiled at this.
They dared to post the task without even understanding the basic situation. It was obviously a king-level task, but they turned it into a general-level task. This is really harming people.
There are also many such irresponsible people in the Holy Alliance.
"The sound probably first appeared in that direction, which should be the location of the Horror and Sorrow Cave."
"Let's go check out the situation first!"
Everyone nodded slightly and started moving towards their destination.
During this time, the screaming sound occurred again.
Due to the close distance, the power of the sound waves was obviously becoming more terrifying. Fortunately, everyone had good skills and were able to withstand it.
The shrill sound that sounded once again also guided everyone in the right direction.
"This should be it!"
Ye Tian's gaze rested on a crack in the rock wall.
The screaming sound came from inside.
"This is the Howling Cave of Terror?"
Li Xin was a little dumbfounded.
It's called a cave, but it's actually more like a crack.
It is about ten feet wide and more than twenty feet high. Looking inside from the outside, it is pitch black and nothing can be seen at all.
In addition, outside the cave, both the rock walls and the ground are covered with cracks.
It's obviously caused by sound waves.
"The demons are coming out!"
Feeling several auras approaching, Ye Tian reminded softly.
Sure enough, the next moment, several figures ran out from the crack, each of them covering their ears as if they were fleeing.
"Lightning Sting!"
"Ice Spear Technique!"
Li Xin and Lin Jialu attacked at the same time.
The already weak demons obviously did not expect that there were people lying in ambush outside. They were completely unprepared and were killed on the spot.
"It seems that the situation inside is more troublesome than we thought!"
Ye Tian spoke softly.
The demons in front of us are also demons.
Two big demons, two slender demon warlocks wearing long robes and holding black staffs, and six small demons.
Each demon looked extremely miserable.
Especially the little devil, black blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth, nose and eyes, which was obviously caused by the powerful sound waves in the cave of fear and howl.
"Then what do we do now?"
Lin Jialu looked worried.
"Simple," Ye Tian was as calm as ever, "Wait."
"Wait?!" The girls were confused.
Ye Tian explained with a smile, "Let's see if we can figure out the specific pattern of the screaming sound first, then it will be convenient to proceed to the next step."
"I see!"
Lin Jialu's expression understood.
So they did not rush into the Howling Cave of Fear, but stood not far away and waited quietly.
Soon, the shrieking sound was heard again.
The girls felt their heads sink and they quickly mobilized their spiritual power to resist.
Another quarter of an hour later.
The screaming stopped.
However, Ye Tian was still not in a hurry and continued to wait outside the cave.
The fourth time, the fifth time.
The shrieking sounds continued to ring out, but the intervals between them were exactly the same, and even the duration was no different at all.
In other words, you can dodge by anticipating.
"Almost there," Ye Tian started again, "I have roughly figured out the pattern of the screams. From now on, as long as I enter the different space before each scream, I can easily avoid it."
“That’s a good idea!”
A hint of joy also emerged in the hearts of the women.
"Let's set off immediately without further delay!"
Ye Tian didn't plan to waste time.
Even though they eliminated the demon support forces in advance, there would be no new support for at least the next few days.
But just in case, it is better to make a quick decision.
Without hesitation, everyone entered the Howling Cave of Fear.
Ye Tian also did not forget to take out the exploration gem and record it, so that it could be used as proof of the mission.
As we go deeper into the cave, darkness gradually engulfs everything.
The magic wand in Bai Xiaomo's hand flashed.
One by one, lantern-shaped plants emitting bright light appeared.
"Well, one for each of us."
Bai Xiaomo distributed the lantern plants to everyone.
Li Xin was surprised. "Xiaomo, how many magical summons do you have?!"
"Hehe, Sister Xin'er, you will know later!"
Bai Xiaomo pursed her lips and chuckled, playfully keeping the secret.
With the help of the faint light emitted by the lantern plants, although the darkness was not completely dispelled, at least the road could be seen clearly.
As we walked, several corpses of demons came into view.
They are all little devils.
Apparently, he couldn't withstand the shrill sound waves and was shaken to death.
Soon everyone reached the end.
A huge crack appeared in the sight, almost vertically downward at 90 degrees. Looking down from a high place, there was no end in sight.
"Each of us takes one."
As Ye Tian spoke, he extended his hand towards Wang Yuanyuan.
Shield Girl was naturally not shy and put her hand in Ye Tian's palm openly.
Spiritual wings appeared instantly.
Several people flew down into the crack.
As he continued to go downwards, a ferocious spiritual energy came towards him, becoming stronger and stronger, with a hint of dead silence in between.
This feeling is particularly obvious for Ye Tian, Li Xin and Mina, who possess the power of light element.
Flying at high speed, it fell to the ground in no time.
Elements of various attributes are quite rare in the abyss.
Fortunately, Ye Tian and the other three have already broken through to the sixth level and opened up their spiritual orifices. Even in this environment, they can convert alien energy into their own attribute energy.
Therefore, the consumption of spiritual energy is not large.
"Finally I've reached the bottom. This empty feeling is really uncomfortable."
Mina spoke softly.
"Keep going forward. I'll lead the way, Sister Xin will guard the rear, and Sister Cai'er and Sister Yuanyuan will guard both sides."
Ye Tian spoke softly to assign queues.
Everyone stood in formation and slowly moved forward.
During this time, the corpses of the big demons were lying on the ground in pieces, and their deaths were quite ugly.
