Fortunately, with the presence of an earth magician like Xingyuan, they did not need to retreat too far away from the cave.

All he had to do was to be in a position that was not facing the cave entrance, recycle the sandworms that had just carried the corpses of several big demons, and dig a hole on the spot that could accommodate everyone to hide.

Looking at the several large sandworms rolling in the soil, even though Chen Ying'er, as a soul saint who claimed to know all the magical beasts in the world, couldn't help feeling a little scared.

"Xingyuan, can't you summon some less intimidating-looking monsters to help dig the hole?"

Chen Ying'er said to Xing Yuan, who looked calm and unperturbed by the sharp roar coming from the cave, "Your sandworms are much scarier to me than the sound coming from the cave."

Logically speaking, based on Chen Ying'er's understanding of Xingyuan, when the other party heard her say this, he would most likely explain to her with reason and evidence, explaining from all angles why he chose to solve the problem in this way.

However, Chen Ying'er thought that the other party was an old-fashioned because of this. As the saying goes, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Xingyuan, who may seem a little nagging to others, is actually her favorite look.

She liked talking to Xingyuan, especially when she listened to him patiently talking to her.

However, Xingyuan's answer this time was somewhat beyond her expectations.

"Isn't this the only summoning magic I know?"

Perhaps it was because he was getting closer to the goal of this trip and was about to obtain the method that could help Cai'er remove the so-called 'curse' of the Samsara Spirit Furnace, or maybe he was very satisfied with Chen Ying'er's previous performance, Xingyuan seemed to be in a good mood, and said to Chen Ying'er with a chuckle.

"Eh……"

If Chen Ying'er remembered correctly, this should be the first time that Xingyuan spoke to her in such a natural and unpretentious tone, so she was subconsciously stunned for a moment.

Fortunately, she reacted in time and quickly followed Xingyuan's words and continued, "Then in your Magic Temple's inheritance of earth magicians, are there no other secret methods for summoning creatures?

Oh, I know. The earth dragon you summoned to dig holes in the Demon Hunting Group and when you helped everyone escape from the Moonlight Merchants Group was an elemental creation, just like the stone man, and it is not a real creature. "

Actually, what Chen Ying'er said was not entirely correct, but Xingyuan felt that it might waste time to explain it to her in detail, so he just smiled and let it go.

Earth dragons are not entirely elemental creations.

"Probably no more."

Since the topic involved the secrets of the Temple, although Xingyuan did not identify with the Magic Temple very much, he would not stab his own Temple without reason, so his words were ambiguous.

"Of course, maybe I'm not qualified enough."

During the conversation, Xingyuan's sandworms had already dug a cave. Long Haochen and Han Yu, who were responsible for resisting the impact of the sharp whistling sound, also retracted the spiritual light shield covering everyone, and the group of people hid inside.

I don’t know if it was their illusion, but this place seemed to be emitting a deadly aura that made people feel cold all over.

The aura of the undead emitted by the Tower of Eternity itself was already strong enough to penetrate the soil. As soon as Xingyuan touched the soil, with his affinity for the earth element, he naturally sensed the unusual aura in it.

The smell of cold, evil, and death is mixed with the soil here.

Although it has not yet reached the level that will have an impact on the bodies of professionals like them, it is still impossible for people to feel comfortable staying in such a place.

The breath of death pollutes the soil. The most obvious change is the withering of grass and trees. Ordinary living creatures dare not approach for fear of being deprived of their vitality by this breath.

Just like the two sandworms from Xingyuan that had just dug a cave for everyone, they were now a little stiff because they were contaminated with too much aura of the dead. They also gave people a somewhat weird feeling... If the Tower of Eternity stayed under here longer, I'm afraid that this area of ​​several miles would have been turned into a dead land, and undead creatures would have begun to breed.

Thinking of this, Xingyuan couldn't help but feel fortunate that he arrived in time.

Although the team was delayed along the way because they had to complete some hunting missions accepted at the mission tower, they still arrived at the Cave of Fear and Sorrow much earlier than in the original world line.

Not long after everyone sat down in the cave to rest, Long Haochen found Xingyuan.

"Brother Xingyuan, do you think this is really a mission that our junior demon hunting group can take on?"

Long Haochen's face did not look very good. After all, if Xingyuan had not reacted in time and taken the lead in raising the earth wall before everyone else, they would have been injured by the evil sound coming from the cave.

"I do not know either."

Xing Yuan shook his head, pretending that he was just as ignorant of the situation as he was, and continued, "But since we are here, if we don't go down and explore, then our harvest this time would not be good enough."

After listening to this, Long Haochen showed a thoughtful look on his face.

Given his personality, he naturally couldn't accept that after spending so much energy and going through so much trouble to get to the mission location, he ended up evacuating in a mess without even a single attempt.

If possible, he would definitely try to enter the cave and explore.

So when he heard that Xingyuan had the same idea as him, he looked relieved.

"Why, Haochen, do you have any plans?"

Xingyuan looked at Long Haochen with a half-smile and asked.

Now is the time when he and Cai'er are closest to the Tower of Aion, and he cannot tolerate any unexpected situation to occur.

"Ah."

Long Haochen nodded and replied: "Let's first find out the sound pattern of the magic sound coming from this cave, and when it stops, Brother Xingyuan, you and I will go in and explore."

"I also need to go."

Cai'er, who was originally sitting next to her team members and staring at the ground in a daze, was actually paying attention to the conversation between Xingyuan and Long Haochen.

Especially when she heard that Captain Long planned to act alone with Xingyuan and let the remaining members stay on standby, including her, Cai'er was the first to raise objections.

Pretty!

Cai'er's reaction was exactly what Xingyuan expected.

After all, the two had already agreed that they would never abandon each other and would die together even if they died.

They had just experienced firsthand how dangerous this Cave of Fear and Howl was.

And who can guarantee that there is nothing else in this cave except the howling sound? (End of this chapter)
