Chapter 855: Open the way
to reach the place the investigator said.
Ronald and Nicole still need to cross the remaining three caves.
——Things were almost smooth sailing.
One of the caves is the rarest. Except for some traces of nests that have not been used for a long time on the ground, there is no longer any main species community that dominates the cave.
In an unknown long time ago, in a hunting activity where the weak and the strong preyed on each other.
The original occupiers here have been completely wiped out, and even the hunters have long since left the cave.
As for the other two places.
One of them, Ronald can directly use the flying spell to take Nicole around them just like when avoiding ants and scorpions.
In another cave environment dominated by some kind of elytra, they encountered creatures with the ability to fly. In a situation that was not easy to solve, Ronald and Nicole took the initiative to deal with some of these insects, and finally got through here smoothly and safely.
Finally, it was the cave mentioned by the previous investigator.
But after walking in here, Ronald still didn't sense the strange magic hidden underground. With trust in his identity as an investigator and Nicole's guarantee, Ronald continued to explore around the cave.
One thing is quite lucky.
Although there are dominant species in this cave, they are not swarming creatures, but rely on the strength and agility of individuals to survive.
As long as Ronald and Nicole were a little careful, these pangolin-looking creatures managed to reach a low depression in the cave.
"Well... the location here is considered the lowest."
After briefly checking the surrounding environment, Ronald continued:
"If we want to confirm whether there is a dust monster below, then this is the closest place."
Ronald stated his news, but Nicole was quite puzzled by this statement:
"Ronald, this is your first time here, right?"
"In such an environment, you can also confirm that this is The lowest position in the entire cave?"
"..." "
After leaving Burrenwich, I learned a lot of spells."
Ronald explained to Nicole, and at the same time, his perception began to go to the bottom. Extension: "One of them has the ability to automatically record the surrounding terrain. I use it to confirm the terrain around us."
Listen to Ronald's explanation.
Nicole's expression also changed from confusion at the beginning to astonishment now:
"Recording terrain, this is too foul!"
"If I can have such a convenient spell, then I don't know what to do when tracking down some annoying murderers. How comfortable is it?"
Nicole mentioned that the matter could only be described as a trivial matter.
While Ronald was trying to sense the lower part, he gave Nicole a definite answer:
"Nicole, if you want to learn this kind of spell, I can teach you." "
After all, I have the original text in my hand now.
" But let me state in advance that learning this kind of spell requires preparing the corresponding meteorite fragments, which you have to get yourself." "You
collected the meteorite fragments to use this spell!" Nicole's reaction was also very real. The moment she heard Ronald's response, she revealed the information about the Investigation Bureau without any hesitation, "I have seen your information in the Bureau." "It said that you have been collecting meteorites from all walks of life
. Some people think you are preparing some very special magic ritual to need this kind of thing."
Ronald shrugged nonchalantly.
His actions of collecting meteorites were not too concealed. After all, this was a difficult and long-term job that was not easy to hide.
It can only be said that the Bureau of Investigation will react.
"Huh?"
"Wait..."
At this moment, Ronald stopped the conversation between the two.
Because when he expanded his perception ability to almost the limit state, he finally noticed that there was indeed a very strange magic fluctuation deep under the ground.
The investigators who gave the information earlier were indeed fine.
It's just that this distance... is definitely beyond the detection range that ordinary spell casters can reach.
But then again.
Thanks to such experts who helped detect the environment in advance.
Otherwise, if Ronald came to find him without knowing anything, he would probably be delayed a lot longer by this depth.
"The situation has been confirmed. There is indeed a problem down here."
"It's just that this depth is a bit troublesome. I'm afraid it will take a lot of time for us to go down."
He briefly explained the situation to Nicole.
Ronald immediately prepared a spell, intending to use his own ability to violently open a way.
Although the stratum here is also relatively deep, it is better than the exaggerated ice cap above which is thousands of meters thick. With a little patience, Ronald can still open a passage from here to reach the location.
But that's about it.
Nicole's expression changed, and she actually reached out to stop Ronald at this moment.
In Ronald's very confused eyes, the investigator girl showed a cute smile:
"Ronald, if you just want to go down, I can help." "
But let me tell you in advance, I may be there for a while. I have lost the ability to fight, so you have to protect me!"
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Ronald's expression suddenly changed, "Nicole, what are you going to do!" The
investigator girl's reaction was much calmer.
Now that the fellow investigators have safely evacuated this dangerous place, her attitude towards things has of course returned to the Nicole that Ronald knew - in short, she is very optimistic.
"Hey, even I want to try it out!"
"You know, my spell-casting ability, which changed at the expense of one eye, should be very strong. It's just because I have always been a valuable member of the team. Combat power, so you have to be careful during the battle and not let go at all."
"Now that you are here, of course I must seize the opportunity to test it out?"
The investigator girl simply explained her thoughts.
And when it comes to this kind of thing, Nicole is definitely a super action person who can move faster than Ronald.
While talking to him, this guy's fingers were filled with magic power, and he quickly wrote runes made up of horizontal and vertical lines on the ground.
Normally.
The spell created by this kind of magic words is difficult to identify.
But Ronald's general language ability allowed him to immediately understand the content and meaning of what Nicole was writing - the
earth is cracking, the deeper the better.
...
This is too easy to understand, right?
The moment I understood these words.
Ronald felt a little confused in his mind.
But immediately after, very powerful magic energy emerged from these runes. After quickly extracting almost 70% of Nicole's magic power, the ground began to tremble violently!
