Meanwhile,
Ye Feng and the others descended and arrived at a volcanic cave.
"Old Xu, was that sound device you set up earlier used to emit an alarm?" Ye Feng's expression was quite serious.
"This... I've only heard of this place before, never been here. I'm not sure if this was set up by the people of Hanbing City back then!" Xu Wenqiang recalled and shook his head.
"Ye Feng, these devices are quite new and not dusty. It's unlikely they were placed decades ago!" Lin's voice sounded.
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone drew their weapons, their expressions wary. This meant the alarm trap might have been set by someone who arrived before Ye Feng and his group.
"Strange, it seems there's a problem with how these sound traps were set up. The first trap triggered destroyed the other two, one of which was an offensive type!" Liu Laotou said with some confusion after observing.
"Hmm? That is indeed a bit strange!"
"The trap that triggered the signal was set up very ingeniously. By all rights, the other traps shouldn't have had such a low-level error~" Ye Feng frowned slightly, also appearing puzzled.
"Lei Jian, how is it!" Liu Laotou then looked at Lei Jian and asked.
"Quite a long distance from here, there are indeed strong arcane energy fluctuations, and they are different from ordinary arcane energy fluctuations!"
"I think it might be emanating from the Eternal Frost Ice!" Lei Jian finished and turned to look at Lin.
Lin nodded, placed her hands on the stone wall, closed her eyes, and wisps of white water-attribute arcane energy emanated, integrating into the surrounding mountain body. After a while, Lin opened her eyes and shook her head, "Perhaps it's too far, I can't sense it!"
"What are you two doing?" Ye Feng looked at Lin and Lei Jian in confusion. Why were they both sensing the Eternal Frost Ice?
"Ye Feng, it's like this. Lei Jian has a wide perception range, but he can only sense if it's arcane energy fluctuations, and the direction isn't specific~"
"And my water-attribute arcane energy can very well sense the ice-attribute arcane energy emanating from the Eternal Frost Ice,"
"Once in contact, it's possible to follow the trail to find the exact location of the Eternal Frost Ice!" Lin quickly explained to Ye Feng.
"So that's how it is~" Ye Feng quickly understood, and then cautiously looked at the only passage to the left rear.
...
Subsequently, Ye Feng and his group proceeded cautiously and alertly down the passage, their steps light, making no sound on the gravel. Fearing that there might be enemies ahead, Ye Feng and the others did not use flashlights, but instead moved forward using the light from the lava. The group arrived at a somewhat spacious but exceptionally dark place.
"Careful!"
"Bang!"
Suddenly, Liu Laotou shouted and fired his Mauser 98k towards a cave entrance behind them.
"Bang~ Bang!" Almost at the same time, Ye Feng's Glock 18 also fired. This was because they had both sensed a tall figure suddenly appear in the darkness and throw something towards them.
"~Tinkle~Tinkle..." A series of glass shattering sounds rang out.
"Bang bang~! Bang~" At this moment, Lin and Lei Jian also fired their Mauser 98k, and more glass shattering sounds ensued.
"Glass balls?" Even though Ye Feng and the others were quite skilled shooters, some things were still thrown at them in the darkness. Seeing what was being thrown at them and then shattered on the ground, Ye Feng was somewhat bewildered.
"Gurgle~ Hiss~ Roar~" Suddenly, sounds of inflation, flesh rubbing, and water came from the dark surroundings.
"Roar~ Splash~ Moooo! Woo! Woof woof! ~ Caw caw caw..." Following that, various strange calls sounded. Ye Feng could sense that on the ground in the surrounding darkness, strange figures were rapidly growing and expanding?
"The things in those glass balls thrown earlier? They look like embryos!" Ye Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, lost in thought.
"Bang! Careful, there are monsters!" Liu Laotou shouted sternly and fired his Mauser 98k.
"Kaka kaka~" Ye Feng and the others no longer cared about anything else, quickly taking out flashlights and the like to illuminate the surroundings.
"Holy crap!" The moment the surroundings became bright, Lei Jian immediately cursed. They were surrounded by a large group of bizarrely shaped monsters in less than a minute. Some of these monsters had wolf heads but snake bodies, some were almost split in half, with sharp teeth filling the cracks, looking like they had no body, only a mouth... Some had human bodies covered in thumb-sized holes, while others looked as if they were rotting, oozing various black and green viscous fluids...
"Clang!~" Suddenly, another glass ball was thrown. Lei Jian raised his hand and shot it, breaking the ball, but the unknown liquid inside also splashed onto Lei Jian.
"Ah!~" The next second, Lei Jian screamed in agony. The liquid from the shattered glass ball corroded Lei Jian's skin, and the surface of Lei Jian's wounds began to bulge, covered in a layer of tiny sesame-like things. Those "tiny sesame seeds" rapidly grew, quickly becoming thumb-sized. As Lei Jian screamed and slapped at them, they rapidly moved and spread from Lei Jian's wounds to other areas.
"It's leeches! Leeches are rapidly feeding on Lei Jian's flesh and blood!" Liu Laotou, who was close to Lei Jian, exclaimed in horror and immediately looked at Lin, "Lin, use water-attribute arcane energy!"
"Alright!" Lin's expression changed slightly. She formed a hand seal, instantly condensed a thin film of water, and waved it towards Lei Jian, covering him. The leeches, which had been rapidly growing and feeding on Lei Jian's flesh and blood, shriveled up at a visible rate... Then, Liu Laotou, Lin, and Lei Jian quickly worked together, removing the shriveled leeches from Lei Jian's body in large numbers...
"Bang bang bang..." At this moment, the rapid gunfire of the Glock 18 sounded. It was the monster whose body was almost split in half, with sharp teeth filling the cracks, that had opened its maw and was lunging towards Ye Feng. Ye Feng emptied the entire magazine of his Glock 18, and the long, thin monster had dozens of perforations, but its wounds were rapidly healing...
"Roar!"
"Roar roar roar~" While Ye Feng was surprised, a monster with a wolf head and snake body, along with two mutated tigers with exposed fangs, suddenly attacked from behind Ye Feng.
"Dada da!~~..." Seeing this, Xiao Xiao's AK-47 instantly opened fire.
"Pfft pfft pfft!~... ." The three monsters were instantly riddled with holes by Xiao Xiao.
"These guys!" Ye Feng's brow furrowed tightly because the wounds caused by the bullets on those monsters were healing at a visible rate.
"Ye Feng, be careful, these monsters might have been injected with 강화 혈청 (enhancement serum), their recovery ability is extremely fast, you must destroy their vital organs in a short period to cause effective damage!" Liu Laotou, who had somehow produced a spiked mace and smashed the head of a giant ape-like monster, shouted.
