Standing on the bow of the boat, Abner stared into the distance, thinking that the island Miss Gwen mentioned was really 'small'.
It is only two or three miles in radius, and there is no vegetation covering it. It is more like a large rock than an island.
Such a small island is like a grain of sand in the desert in the vast sea. Without a guide, Abner doesn't think he can find it quickly even if he has the coordinates.
After instructing Sailor to anchor "Arenheim" on a nearby sea surface without reefs, Abner, Xio and Miss Gwen left the ship and landed on the island, and soon arrived at the back of a huge rock under the guidance of Miss Gwen.
Miss Gwen pointed to the ground under the rock with obvious traces of sand filling, and said to Abner, "The cave is right here. After I escaped by chance last time, I placed a straw mat on the entrance of the cave and covered it with some soil."
Abner looked around the rock and did not rush to dig the hole. Instead, he activated Pure White Eye and used the 'Scene Replay' ability to investigate.
After confirming that no one else had come, he started to lift up the mat covered with soil, and a dark hole was suddenly revealed on the ground.
Ms. Gwen glanced at Abner, then stepped into the cave first with a gun in one hand and a lantern in the other to lead the way. Abner and Xio followed closely behind, one holding Cane-Sword and the other holding the revolver to guard against possible accidents.
The cave as a whole has a downward slope, which is not too steep, but there is a danger of tumbling down if you accidentally slip.
After walking through the initial section of a narrow passage of about a hundred meters, Abner's eyes suddenly opened up, because they came to a large naturally formed cave.
This cave is four to five meters high and still slopes downward, but except for the stone wall on the side of the cave entrance, you can't see it in other directions, so you don't know what is there.
"The left side and the front side will lead to several other passages, but they are all dead ends. There are some Monster at the end, but I cleaned them up when I came here last time." Miss Gwen introduced, pointing to the right, and continued, "Only the right side will lead to a winding downward passage! But I don't know where it leads specifically. We were attacked by Dragon-Eyed Giant Python on the way last time."
Abner also read what Miss Gwen said in the book "Cave Adventure Notes", so he just nodded and did not speak.
"Do you want to go to the left and take a look at the front?" Miss Gwen didn't know that Abner knew what was going on, so he took the initiative to ask.
Abner and Xio looked at each other, then smiled and shook their heads, saying, "Let's deal with that Dragon-Eyed Giant Python first!" His main purpose of coming here is to get the main material of 'Keeper of Knowledge', and the rest is not important.
"Then follow me! Also, be careful, that beast is very good at sneak attacks. Maybe it is already spying on us in secret!"
After saying that, Miss Gwen carefully walked towards the two o'clock direction on the right with a lantern in hand.
After traveling for nearly half an hour, the Abner trio arrived at the edge of the cave. There were thick stone walls all around, and there was only a passage about two meters high and four to five meters wide winding down.
"This passage is very long, and I don't know how deep it is. We only walked a short distance last time before we were stopped by that beast." Miss Gwen repeated her previous words, her tone full of resentment. Obviously, the closer she got to the place where her companions died, the less calm she became.
Abner didn't persuade her of any reason. If it were his friend who was killed, he would still be unable to hold back his anger. The only thing that can help her at this moment is to help her get revenge!
This time, Miss Gwen was not allowed to come forward. After all, she was just Sequence 9's 'Warrior', and she did not have any powerful extraordinary items. Once she was attacked by a sneak attack, it would be difficult to protect herself.
Therefore, Abner took the lead in carrying Cane-Sword into the passage. While walking, he turned on Pure White Eye for a second or two from time to time and used 'Scene Replay' to check if there was any ambush.
After advancing for about 10 minutes, Abner suddenly heard a hollow chant of "Loda..." coming from his ears!
The ethereal but shrill voice instantly covered the entire passage.
This voice is both gentle and quiet, but also cold and biting, penetrating the soul.
Abner froze in place for a moment, all kinds of information flashed through his brain, as if it had become an overwhelmed server, overloaded and shut down in an instant.
Fortunately, Abner often experienced this state when using Pure White Eye Analysis items, so he recovered a little almost in the blink of an eye, and immediately turned on Pure White Eye.
At this moment, a giant green-blue Great Serpent tail quickly emerged from the passage, danced in the air, and pulled towards Abner, who had just recovered from his strength.
Snap!
At the critical moment, Abner activated the ability of 'Sea Breeze Hat', scraped out Gale from the body, and used the wind pressure as a shield to fight the opponent's snake tail head-on!
After the snake's tail struck in vain, Monster, who was hiding in the darkness, could no longer hide his figure and was revealed in front of the three Abner.
It was a large python that was more than 10 meters long, with solid scales all over its body. In its eyes like lava balls, a pair of vertical pupils were looking at the Abner trio coldly.
Miss Gwen and Xiu had also woken up from the state of brain overload. They each held weapons and looked at the huge python with fear.
But Abner quietly breathed a sigh of relief at this time. The collision just now seemed to be evenly matched, but one side was deliberate and went all out for a sneak attack, while the other side was adaptable and hasty. There was still a big gap.
"In addition to its amazing size, this giant python is only at the level of Sequence 7 at most..." Thinking like this, Abner continued to use Pure White Eye Analysis The opponent's Weakness, while supporting 'Sea Breeze Hat', created dozens of Wind Blade around him, and slashed towards Dragon-Eyed Giant Python.
For a body of flesh and blood like a giant python, even if it has scales to protect it, it can't resist the cuts of Wind Blade. Countless wounds were cut on its body in an instant. It raised its head and hissed in pain, and the coldness in its vertical pupils was no longer, but it became completely crazy.
In terms of fighting Wind Blade, its defense is not as good as the Earthbound Spirit left by Jane's father in the house of Backlund Saint George Borough.
The completely crazy Dragon-Eyed Giant Python not only used its tail to slap the three people where they were standing, but also controlled the blood flowing out of the wound to turn into tentacles, lashing them everywhere like a whip!
However, in terms of Water Control, even if the blood comes from the opponent's body, it can't compare to a 'Wind-blessed'! Under the power of 'Sea Breeze Hat', the blood whips that were drawn were instantly rolled back, and were drawn to Dragon-Eyed Giant Python himself.
At this time, Abner closed Pure White Eye, because he had successfully Analysis out of the opponent's 'seven inches', and condensed a Wind Blade that severely shattered a scale at the back and lower part of Dragon-Eyed Giant Python's neck.
"Woo!" The vital part was hit, and a trace of human fear flashed through the eyes of the dragon-eye python. At this time, it no longer had the aura of madness, and actually shrank its body and tried to escape.
Upon seeing this, Abner 'unsheathed' Cane-Sword, threw it violently into the air, and shouted, "Stop!"
"Understood!" Xue, who had been waiting for the opportunity, jumped up tacitly and caught Cane-Sword in mid-air. Then, with the help of Gale given to her by Abner, she easily jumped to Dragon-Eyed Giant Python's neck in a few clicks.
After dodging several whips of blood that Abner had no time to control through 'prejudgment', Xio held Cane-Sword in reverse and inserted it fiercely into the giant python's 'seven inches'!
The moment Cane-Sword inserted it, Dragon-Eyed Giant Python's smart eyes dimmed instantly, and then the scales began to fall off layer by layer, and the entire snake body began to dehydrate and shrink. It only lasted for two or three seconds before its huge body hit the ground heavily.
At the same time, its aura quickly dimmed, its spirit disintegrated at a high speed, and its body continued to shrink.
The moment the snake body fell to the ground, Xio relied on the physical coordination and balance brought by the extraordinary items to land smoothly on the ground in the passage. Then she took out a Sailor hat from her arms and put it on her head.
After a moment of vigilance, Abner confirmed that Dragon-Eyed Giant Python was completely dead, and then he carefully stepped forward, dug out a pair of its eyes, and put them into the tin box that had been prepared. In fact, this pair of eyes was Analysis's. The ability of is the most powerful thing about Dragon-Eyed Giant Python. Unfortunately, it is not good at Wisdom. It has never read a book and has almost zero knowledge reserve. It cannot exert the power of 'Analysis' at all.
"Now the main materials for 'Keeper of Knowledge' have been gathered together. Once 'Detective' is digested, I can be promoted to Sequence 7!"
When Abner was excited, he suddenly heard uncontrollable crying from behind. He looked back and found Miss Gwen kneeling on the ground, crying uncontrollably. Her charming face was covered with tears, but the smile between her eyebrows became more and more obvious.
This young lady has been extremely strong since her companions were killed and she escaped alone. Even if she encountered various difficulties on the way to seek revenge, she did not flinch. Now that the great revenge was avenged, she could no longer suppress the sadness and joy in her heart, and finally vented it. Although she did not help in the battle, it was enough to witness the death of the giant python that killed Friend.
Neither Abner nor Xio spoke. While letting her vent, they silently picked up Dragon-Eyed Giant Python's body. Apart from the pair of eyes, its scales and skin were also very valuable.
After a while, Miss Gwen adjusted her emotions. She wiped her tears and said with some embarrassment, "I made you laugh..."
"Nothing, I can understand your mood!" Abner waved his hand and did not dwell on this topic. Instead, he took the snake skin he had just peeled off and said, "This is the trophy Notarization promised to you before!"
Dragon-Eyed Giant Python Although he was very big when he was alive, he shrank very seriously after his death. The snake skin that was finally successfully peeled off was only two meters long. To put it simply, this is a parallel import...
"Thank you!" Miss Gwen was obviously stunned for a moment before reaching out to take it. Realizing the importance of strength, she couldn't refuse materials that could help her advance. Even though she felt guilty because she didn't help.
"Okay, now that we've dealt with things here, let's go on and see where this passage leads to."
Neither of the two women had any objections to Abner's proposal. They set off again and walked down the winding passage.
In less than ten minutes, the three of them arrived at the end of the passage. There was a large pool with a diameter of about five meters. There was a nest next to the pool, which was filled with many human debris, obviously things left behind after the death of previous adventurers.
Abner took a look and found that inside the lair there were mostly broken clothes, as well as ordinary weapons such as swords and guns, as well as many luggage Backpack.
Only on Stone Platform at the deepest point, the dark red object that looked like jelly and the blue water-like object like jellyfish next to it attracted Abner's attention.
"That should be Beyonder Characteristic of Jones and Roy... They were my companions before, one was 'Sailor' and the other was 'Hunter'... It's a pity that they were both killed by the giant python." Miss Gwen said emotionally.
Abner suddenly looked back at her, then narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully, "You actually know Beyonder Characteristic?!"
You know, even the second-generation Beyonder like Xion only knew about the existence of Beyonder Characteristic after meeting him.
