Age of Adepts

This is a small cave 120 meters underground.

One opening at each end of the cave leads to different parts of the underground world.

The stone walls on both sides reflect the shadowy cold light in the reflection of the fluorescent moss, constantly dripping water beads from the top of the cave, knocking a monotonous crackle on the cold ground.

Despite the constant noise, silence and silence dominate this dark underground world!

To survive in this dark world, keeping quiet and avoiding body temperature spills is the only way to live. But that was clearly broken today!

A horned goat, which had never appeared on the surface but had been fixed by an iron chain to the rock in the middle of the cave, was shaken by the shadow of darkness, and the huge wound on the back leg was slowly bleeding.

Heavy bloody smell has filled the passage.

What……

The horn goat's trembling cry came a long way in this dead and silent world.

The horn goat screamed irritably and couldn't help but crush his stone column with the top of his skull until it sensed the movement behind him, and looked back in horror.

In the darkness, a horrible figure crawling to the ground is slowly closing in on it!

This is a basilisk.

The huge body with its head and tail of five metres makes the petrified lizards an undisputed mass in the area, while the knife-like fang mouth makes it more difficult for the creatures they bite to survive. Plus a petrochemical ray with a range of only 3 meters makes the petrolizard a worthy 'underground cleaner' in the underground world!

Watching a pair of glittering yellow eyeballs in the dark approaching, the horn sheep were terribly difficult to hold on to, jumping desperately and kicking. But that would not help at all, but would make it more rapid and widespread in its bloodbath.

The petrified lizard had just approached the rock where the horn sheep were located and was immediately blocked outside by the strange symbols that had emerged from the ground. A few bites were bitten hard, a few hard strokes couldn't help it, the petrified lizard was in Monet room, suddenly it stood half up, lifted its nose and gently smelled the slow flowing air in the cave.

It smells a familiar and horrible smell from the intense blood, thanks to the subterranean creature's distinctive acumen.

Without hesitation, the petrified lizard fell and turned and climbed into the darkness in the distance, quickly disappearing.

Shortly after the petrified lizard disappeared, a whirring wind suddenly swept up in the cave, followed by a healthy black figure pouring out of the tunnel and wrapped around the suspended stone milk at the top of the cave.

Ultimately, this shadow fell on a raised platform of rock walls, and the height of the male gazed silently over everything in the cave below him.

Deterred by a strange atmosphere, the horn sheep have been paralyzed to the ground, with an unpleasant urination underneath them.

Though there is no light in the cave, that huge black shadow, with microscopic vision, has been able to bring every corner of the space into sight without a drop.

Cold floors, dark stone walls, flowing underground canals… everything is under its control.

The shadows were quietly in the dark, and the slightly yellow eyes in the dark green filled with deep doubt and unease.

But as a minor scorpion lion, it's obviously not mature enough.

All the breath emanating from the horny sheep was incorporated into its nostrils, its bloodstream spurred by the delicious flesh and blood characteristic of the superficial creature, its mouth could not help but drip down and a small hole was eaten on the rock platform beneath it.

How does the scene look like an ugly trap, but the enemies who set it up?

The little scorpion lion withstood the impulse to dive down and soar with his eyes wide open to the possible enemies. But even if it swept every corner of the cave, it didn't find any breath or trace of outsiders.

Finally, the little scorpion lion could no longer hold on to its natural thirst for biological flesh, and whistled and dived down, cruelly pounding on the horn goat.

A moment later, the cave sounded the strange sound of a scorpion lion biting and swallowing the flesh of a horned goat.

As a ferocious underground creature, the little scorpion lion could never disregard any table etiquette, the scene of wild eating was intolerable and the whole rock was bloody, like a small slaughterhouse.

And just as the little scorpion lion fell into the fanatics of eating, the shallow pool at the corner of the cave filled with water, and the shadows of the three humans slowly emerged.

“Pour... pour... pour... pour..."

The Grigg witch could not bear to whisper through the dark.

As he murmured, the little scorpion lion was suddenly shaking, the wide manta wings had just opened before waiting to fly, and Nodak's body fell strangely.

“Hurry up...” Grimm whispered: "There's still a little scorpion around here, we don't have that much time! ”

“Understood!” Grigg grinned: “It doesn't take long to extract a little toxin from its scorpion tail, I guarantee it won't find anything later! ”

After speaking, he whispered to the sleeping little scorpion lion in the dark.

…………

Two hours before dawn, adult scorpion lions scattered among the nearby mountains returned to the cave entrance.

As you can see, their belly drums have eaten thoroughly.

And their thick hind limbs grabbed a bloody prey and whistled back into the melting hole after a short break on the stone column. Until they disappeared completely into the underground tunnel, the night bats returned to their nest with their wings flapping.

The three Grims watched the whole process beside them until the light came back to light before returning to the camp satisfactorily.

The first time they explored the underground lair, they didn't kill any creatures, they didn't abduct the middleman scorpion lion, they just secretly extracted some of the flesh and toxins from its body. By the time the anesthetic had worked, the little scorpion lion had woken from its slumber and everything abnormal around it had been completely erased by Grimm and others.

After all, the spirit of the little scorpion lion was not so perfect. Under the pressure of drugs, he also forgot about the previous events, and only the mysterious ghost returned to the nest.

With the pharmacist Grigg, combined with the toxins extracted from the little scorpion lion, targeted antiparalytic drugs can still be made. While it is impossible to completely resist the paralysis attacks of adult scorpion lions, it is always much better than physical resistance.

Grim and Grigg witches went out day and night for days, spending almost every night in that winding underground tunnel.

Close observation of the morphological behavior and habits of these scorpion lions, and even sneaking into the Scorpion's lair to map out the topography, laid a solid foundation for later clean-up tasks.

Grimm's meticulous plan and careful refinement led to the finalization of a complete extermination plan and set the time for its implementation at the seventh day of their arrival in the woods.

According to Grimm's observations, the day should also be a day for the Scorpion Lions' adult and young Scorpion Lions to lean into their nests for large-scale hunting, and is suitable for the launching and conduct of the extermination programme.

And the executives of the plan are all members of the Adventure Team!

Lowell et al. finally succumbed to the temptation of the Grim 300 Crystal.

…………

Another beautiful and rare night for a month.

Just as the sun wiped black, the massive bats that inhabited the cave came out of the sky again, gathering into clouds in the night sky around the sick woods, circling a few laps and scattering into the nearby mountain forest.

And the nine-headed scorpion lion appeared again, just a little division of labor and ran away!

It wasn't until they were all far away that Grimm's eight men appeared in the vicinity and headed deep into the melting hole.

Letting Sabrina take the rest of the men behind her, Grim and Grigg spearheaded into the underground tunnel and headed straight for the Scorpion Lion's lair.

Time is precious and it is important to compete for seconds to prearrange traps before the Scorpion Lions perceive something happening in the nest, otherwise their group of Scorpion Lions can easily be trapped in the nest.

And in order to lure the scorpion lions into the dust, they must first control the two little scorpion lions that remain in the nest. That's why Grimm and Grigg witchcraft took a step forward, using witchcraft to accelerate and quickly advance towards the Scorpion Lion's lair.

Unlike the last time they were sneaking around, this time they were just pounding drums into the underground tunnel.

Walking down the aisle, Grim kept throwing out the magic fireball, blowing a small underground creature hidden in the dark into pieces of sky.

Huge fireballs spreading rapidly through the underground tunnels, without them having to look for them at all, and the two little scorpion lions who were hiding in the dark to rest rushed out after the blasting sound themselves.

Little scorpion lions have only quasi-wolf power, and although their power is not worth mentioning in Grimm's eyes, it still takes a certain amount of thought to capture them completely.

When Grimm rushed first into a small cave, there were four or five underground passages to different areas, which was also a small hub in this underground maze.

Grimm had just rushed in here, with a bad wind over his head, two mountainous shadows plunged down from the top of the hole, and Moringa's fangs were wide open, biting hard at Grimm's head and shoulders.

Grimm already knew all about the ambush of the two little scorpion lions through the latest 'multi-dimensional scene construction’. So Grimm's figure was just a tiny bit, and he had jumped off the flame and jumped to another area. And in his original position, a giant lava ball that stayed there beforehand exploded just right!

If Grimm wants to kill two little scorpion lions, all he needs is a solid lava fireball to keep them alive and peel them off. But now, in order to catch him alive, we can only detonate the fireball in advance.

Thus, in a shocking flame burst and shock wave, the two little scorpion lions were turned dizzy and scarred, and could only rush out of the fire with great screams.

And they are greeted by the growler's big casserole fist...

Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock!
