Vol 3 Chapter 536: Cave exploration
Jon went to the front, then Daphne, holding their wands high, they walked forward along a curved path in the cave.
The patron saint led the way in front of the crowd; Astoria and Harry followed them in turn.
While walking, Jon used his magic wand to mark the surrounding stone walls; this way, even if he got lost, he could return along the same path.
Continue to walk forward, the sound of water flowing ahead becomes more and more obvious. This is good news at least. The presence of water means that the cave is not completely closed, and there is a high probability that an exit can be found.
Soon, they found the location of the water flow... Just after passing through a narrow passage, a stream can be seen flowing down from the protruding rock layer. There are a lot of limestone sediments in the water. These limestones have condensed and formed over the years. The shape of a waterfall. At the bottom of the water, you can also see some exquisite snowflake-shaped stones.
Jon stopped, at least he could wash his face here and stay awake.
The spring water in the cave is cold and very clean, so you can drink it directly.
After making a mark by the spring, they followed the patron saint and began to move on.
After a few minutes, they entered a spacious grotto, surrounded by stone walls supported by peculiarly shaped pillars, and these pillars were made up of large stalactites and stalagmites connected together.
In addition, some human leg-shaped stalactites hang down from the top of the grotto, which is a bit creepy.
Astoria couldn't help but leaned a few steps toward Jon, only to step on the moss and slip under her feet, and then let out a slight scream.
Because she suddenly saw that there were almost a thousand bats gathered in the grotto.
The light of the magic wand shone upward, and suddenly thousands of bats flew down, screaming at the two magic wands of Jon and Daphne, and pounced.
"Ah—" Daphne also let out a scream of fear.
The screams of the two girls seemed to attract more and more bats, and they swarmed.
Jon roughly grabbed Daphne's hand and snatched her wand... He was worried that the silly girl was afraid of bats, what spells would be used to reflex (such as smashing spells) , If the cave collapsed, the four of them would have to explain here.
At the same time, facing the menacing bats, the three people around him had already subconsciously squatted down, covering their heads with their hands——
"Flame ()!"
Jon raised his elderberry wand and chanted calmly.
In the dark cave, a group of hot flames suddenly appeared next to the four wizards-it first formed a bright, golden-red fire ring around the rock wall, and the nearest bats were contaminated After the ring of fire, it burned quickly, and only a smell of burnt protein was smelled in the air.
The fire seemed to be beating in Jon Hart's eyes. He held his wand as high as a torch, and flame after flame burst out from the end of his wand, together with the bright ring of fire before, finally formed several huge and warm flames.
The flames raged in the cave, and the bats began to flee frantically, dizzy and trying to escape the terrible magic surrounding them...
Only a minute later, the cave was calm again...The bat colonies on the top of the original grotto were either scorched or driven out to the cave.
Jon breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned on the rock wall for a slight breath; using the old magic wand to use such a magic would consume him a lot.
"Whether it is beasts or magical animals, most of them have the fear of flames carved into their genes." They explained a few words softly with a few companions, and at the same time returned Daphne's wand to her.
Daphne just took her wand back blankly, without asking why.
"It's okay." Jon lowered his head and helped Astoria up: "Let's move on."
After experiencing the accident of the bat, the four people began to follow the patron saint; but the words between them became even less...
All around him were silent, so quiet that they could even hear their gasping.
It was as if in this silent cave, there was a cold clutch grabbing their souls.
...
They entered a long corridor again, and the formation became one-line again.
In this terrible cave, they have almost been delayed for more than two hours.
At the beginning, when they met the entrance of the cave along the way, some people would stick their heads in and take a look; but afterwards, everyone walked mechanically with the guardian deity.
The two girls, Astoria and Daphne, are obviously tired; perhaps they have never experienced this kind of "travel" before, nor have they walked so many paths at once.
Just when Jon was about to propose a break, he suddenly saw a small light spot in the distance.
"Hold on for a while," Jon said hastily, because he thought the spot of light in the distance looked like sunlight.
Under Jon's urging, the group quickly fumbled towards the little light spot...
As Jon imagined, there was indeed a hole... a small hole that could only accommodate one person in and out.
He stretched his head and shoulders out of the small hole. The dawn sun was just appearing at the far end of the earth, and the fresh air made people feel refreshed; at the same time, a wide river rolled in front of them.
"Finally came out!" Jon gave his patron saint a thumbs up, and then dismissed his call.
If it weren't for the patron saint to lead the way, it would be almost impossible to get out of this cave with extremely complicated terrain in such a short time ~www.NovelMTL.com~.
On the opposite side of the rushing river, there is a sparse grove.
"We Apparated to the other side of the river!" Jon shouted: "Harry, you follow me; Astoria, you follow your sister."
The range of phantom-shifting magic is limited. Generally speaking, it can only phantom-shift to a location visible to the naked eye and a familiar location in your memory.
Previously in the cave, on the one hand, I was completely ignorant of the surrounding location information, on the other hand, the naked eye could only see the dark stone walls...In this case, Apparition is almost useless; but now, when the exit of the cave is found , The situation is a little different.
With two white flashes, when the four people apparated to the other side of the river——
"What should we do now, Jon?" Harry lay on a pile of things that looked like branches and leaves, and he took a few breaths of air to try to calm down.
