Broad World

Chapter 147 Escape

As soon as Henry stepped into the bushes, he saw huge potholes on the ground not far away, and there were countless red ants with five centimeters long and wings crawling densely around them.

He carefully took out a large piece of bacon from the dimension bag and threw it forward. The moment the meat fell to the ground, a large piece of ants flew up and swarmed up. In the blink of an eye, a piece of beef weighing more than two kilograms was divided into countless diced meat the size of rice grains. Then he threw some other things in the past, and found that these guys seemed to have some special ability to tell which things could be eaten and which things could not be eaten in an instant.

Zuwosa pointed to the large ant colony in front of him and asked: "How about it? Is there any good way? If we rush directly to it in less than a minute, we will be gnawed into bones. Even if Vaughn has regenerative energy, it may not last long. These guys bite too fast."

Henry smiled wryly and shook his head. "There is no good way, but there is a stupid way. After a while, I will release the "Fire Wall Technique" to separate the ant's nest, and then everyone will pass here quickly before the effect of the spell disappears."

"There are too many of them, and the continuous effect of the "Wall of Fire Art" is simply not enough to allow us to run such a long distance." Ranger said with a frown after visually measuring the distance.

Henry gritted his teeth and said to his companion: "At worst, another "acceleration technique", as long as we rush through here, we can take a good rest."

"Head! You are crazy! We are all like this now. If I double the fatigue, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it." Vaughan's eyes widened in surprise, and he was already a little bit unable to open his eyes due to his strong physique.

Just as they were discussing whether to use another "acceleration technique", there were bursts of howling of wargs in the distance. Zuwosa sighed and said to Henry: "It seems that we don't have time to think about it, so let's do it your way." She cut a few small cuts on her arm with a dagger, and used the pain to keep herself awake.

Henry also bit the tip of his tongue hard and began to chant spells, and soon a magical wall of fire separated the nests of these carnivorous ants. Many guys on the ground who didn't have time to escape were directly burned to death. Other ants quickly discovered the high temperature here, and they bypassed here to look for food on the other side.

It didn't take long for the number of ants on the other side of the firewall to decrease significantly. Henry saw that the time had come, and immediately blessed everyone with spells. Then he shouted at the half-orc warrior: "Vaughan! You go first, we all follow behind, run hard and don't look back."

Vaughn put down the visor on his helmet and rushed forward. The remaining ants found new prey, and immediately rushed over and began to bite. Soon the half-orc warrior's exposed skin was bitten out with densely packed small bumps, which made people's scalp numb.

After Henry saw that almost all the carnivorous ants were attracted away, he followed with other companions. With the help of acceleration magic, everyone quickly passed through this terrifying place. Once in a safe place, Vaughan immediately began to knock off the ants on his arms, and quickly took off his armor. All of these guys are in his current clothes.

Zuwosa and Henry ran over to help immediately when they saw it. When the upper body armor was taken off, they saw that the orc warrior's back had been bitten pitted. If it wasn't for the regeneration ability to support it, maybe the bones could be seen now. After sweeping these big red ants to the ground, Vaughn gritted his teeth and crushed them all one by one.

"Head, while these pains can keep us awake, let's speed up, otherwise I may fall asleep on the side of the road in a while." Vaughn said while wearing the armor.

Henry nodded, then turned around and asked the ranger, "How far are we to get to the place you mentioned?"

"It's not far ahead, it takes about 20 minutes to walk." Zuwosa replied while yawning. A deep tiredness was revealed on her face, and even the pain was useless now.

"Persevere, we will start to rest as soon as we get there." Henry patted the ranger on the shoulder, and then comforted Ares, who was already struggling.

After Vaughn put on his clothes again, the group started on the road again. The big brown bear strode his legs with difficulty, shaking his head as he walked, as if he would fall asleep at any moment. Amy and Ban Burke are on its back, and these two guys have already entered a coma in advance.

The 20-minute walk was very difficult. They walked forward in a daze, reminding each other not to fall asleep from time to time. Just when Henry started to lose consciousness, he suddenly heard the Ranger shout loudly: "Wake up! We've finally arrived." She pointed to a strange-shaped cave ahead.

Henry made some water immediately after hearing it, and then washed his face to wake himself up a little. Looking in the direction Zuwosa pointed out, there are no less than a thousand caves, large and small, densely covered on a cliff. When the strong wind blows through the hole, there is a whining sound, which makes people feel gloomy and terrifying.

"Are you sure there is no danger? Why do I feel that this place is more terrifying than those orcs and wargs behind." The half-orc warrior asked while rubbing his eyes.

Zuwartha sighed at the sight before him. "I only heard about it from others. It is said that a long time ago, there was a group of dwarves living here. At that time, they were besieged by an army of monsters. These guys attacked day and night, but they were finally repelled by the stubborn dwarves. Just when the monsters were about to retreat, a large amount of water suddenly gushed out from the depths of the cave, drowning all the dwarves. Since then, this place has been abandoned. Some people say that the sound of the wind here is the crying of those dead dwarves."

Henry shook his head with a smile after hearing the story. "Most of the rumors are not credible, and they are usually fabricated by ignorant civilians. Don't think too much about it, go in and sleep now, you know, I can't hold on anymore." He took the lead and walked towards one of the caves.

The half-orc warrior smiled at the ranger and said, "Don't think too much, the head is a wizard, even if there are ghosts, he can deal with them."

"Maybe I'm overthinking, let's go in and have a good sleep." After speaking, Zuwosa took out the kettle and took a sip of cold water. She always had a faint feeling that something was wrong here.

Henry came to the cave and observed it. It was only about two meters high. Inside, just as the ranger described, there were so many passages that it was impossible to count. It seems that this place may really be the place where the dwarves lived, after all, only they like to dig holes in the mountains so much. He immediately cast two detection spells, and according to the magic detection, there was no sign of any negative energy gathering here.

"Head, how's it going? Did you find anything?" Vaughan asked as he walked into the cave with his head down.

"There should be no undead here, because no negative energy can be detected here. I will put a spell trap at the entrance of the cave in a while. No one needs to keep vigil today. Let's have a good rest." Henry said while setting up several screaming traps near the entrance of the cave. As long as someone enters this range, these magical traps will immediately emit piercing screams.

After finishing the final security work, everyone dragged their tired bodies to the depths of the cave. Lifting Amy and Bamberk off Ares and putting them on the ground, everyone didn't care about setting up a tent, just spread a piece of animal skin on the ground and fell asleep. They slept so deadly that they didn't notice a pair of pale eyes reflected in the deep pool. .

At the same time, the leader of the orcs, Sackham, was furious. He pointed at the crack in the stone where Henry and his party used to hide, and shouted loudly: "Damn it! These guys dare to hide under my nose for so long! And you didn't notice it at all!"

"Great leader, these people are very smart. They use a kind of fragrance to cover up their own smell. My group has now discovered the traces of these guys, and I believe there will be new news coming back soon." The one-eyed wolf leader said in Common Tongue.

Sackm violently swung the giant ax in his hand a few times, and the other orcs around immediately retreated a certain distance. They didn't want to be the target of the brutal leader. Just as the leader of the orcs was thinking about whether to capture a hapless guy and hack him to death, a howl of wolves came from a distance.

The giant black wolf listened for a while, then raised its head and let out a howl. Then it walked up to Sackham and said in common language: "Great leader, I'm afraid you don't need to do it. These guys broke into the bushes by themselves. I believe those carnivorous ants will soon chew them into bones."

"Priest! Use spells to check for me right now to see if these guys are dead!" Sakam stared at the priests and shamans behind him with vicious eyes.

These people were scared out of their wits by his ferocious eyes. They immediately closed their eyes and began to cast spells, and the detection results came out soon. A very old-looking orc shaman stepped forward and bowed. "Boss, these guys are not dead, they have safely passed through the nest of carnivorous ants."

"It's impossible! No one can pass there, even if they can fly or be invisible, the ants can still perceive it." The leader of the warg retorted loudly.

"Maybe they used some unknown method. There are so many strange spells in this world. Never use your poor brain capacity to guess a spellcaster." The old shaman glanced at the giant wolf contemptuously, turned and returned to his seat. (To be continued.)
