"Alright, let's get going and try to reunite with Lazi as soon as possible."
She gripped the long sword at her waist, turned around, and leaped down.
However, after she landed safely, she discovered that a huge ray monster was lying in a crevice in the rocks that she had not noticed before, staring at her with its round eyes.
"...wee?"
The ray paused for a few seconds, then shouted loudly:
“wee!”
Chapter 405 Heading Towards the Night Elves
“wee…”
"What are you weeping for?!"
Jennifer looked at the stingray monster she had stomped on the ground, shook her sword in confusion, and then scratched her head with her other hand.
Upon seeing the monster, she immediately unleashed her attack spell. However, after only two moves with Leafa, before they could even exert their full strength, the monster collapsed with a "weep".
What are you doing? Are you deliberately trying to stage an accident?
"what's the situation……"
Jennifer frowned slightly, held the longsword against the ray's broad back, and then hesitated.
Although she learned magic entirely by chance and had virtually no usable combat spells, her ability to perceive magical energy was still quite normal. Therefore, she was able to fully sense the immense magical power emanating from the stingray monster in front of her, which was at least at a high level.
How could such a high-level monster be defeated so easily? Could it be like some red-bottomed macaques on the surface, begging for mercy to deceive their guard? That doesn't seem likely.
Jennifer hesitated for a moment, then exchanged a glance with Leafa, who was crouching opposite her and ready to cooperate. Her eyes sharpened, and she turned her longsword around, holding it with both hands in front of her, ready to plunge it straight down.
Whatever its purpose, it's just a monster, so kill it!
"Wait! Sir Knight!"
Suddenly, Snyder's voice came from behind. Jennifer raised an eyebrow, turned around in surprise to look at the girl in white, and asked:
"What's wrong, Miss Snyder?"
“I’m not sure either, but…”
Snyder hesitated, rubbed his cuffs, shook his head slightly, walked closer to the ray lying on the ground, squatted down, and examined it for a moment.
“wee?”
The stingray monster flicked its pectoral fins, twisted its body under Jennifer's boot armor, stared at Snyder with its round, beady eyes for a few seconds, and then cried out in a pitiful voice:
“wee...wee!”
"What is it saying?" Jennifer's head was buzzing. She couldn't help but stomp on the ray. Only after hearing it let out two deflated "wee" sounds and fall silent again did she relax her furrowed brows.
"Sir Knight, it seems like I really do sense something..."
Snyder, who had been scrutinizing the stingray monster, seemed to have discovered something. Her uncertain expression finally turned serious. She looked up at Jennifer, and after receiving Jennifer's approval, she took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and whispered:
"Three inches of light!"
A faint glow appeared on Snyder's body. As he cast a basic divine spell, the dark underground world seemed to squeeze out the last bit of water from a dried-up sponge, and a few sparse rays of light surged in from all directions.
However, to the surprise of the three present, the surface of the ray monster lying on the ground also began to glow. After it weakly whimpered a few times, specks of light emanated from its body and, guided by the "Three Inches of Light" divine spell, entered Snyder's body.
"Well……"
Snyder, pale-faced, clutched his head, stood up weakly, and said:
"Sir Knight, it seems that what I sensed is true... The light power hidden in this underground world contains incantations similar to those of the Holy City of Romnia, and this ray... also possesses a great deal of light power, but I don't know where it comes from."
"Ok?"
Jennifer stroked her chin and pondered. She glanced at the ray on the ground, its beady eyes wide open, and was momentarily puzzled.
Arriving in the underground world for the first time, she was still very wary. She was more inclined to believe that this ray was some kind of neutral monster, which, although it seemed to be peaceful, was not trustworthy.
"Lazi previously mentioned that there are some elusive forces of light underground, and this ray might be possessed by one of those forces..."
She pondered for a moment, made a preliminary guess, and looking at the ray's body, which slowly returned to its dim state after the "Three Feet of Light" divine spell ended, she shook her head and said:
"However, the light energy on this ray is not as violent as the light energy with a will; instead, it has a gentle quality like pure light... Could it be that it can purify those wills of light?"
Based solely on these appearances, a sufficient conclusion could not yet be drawn. Jennifer thought for a moment, then simply sheathed her sword and removed the boots that were stepping on the ray.
“wee?”
The ray relaxed, shook its pectoral fins, peered at the three girls surrounding it, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly flew up.
"Although I don't know what you are or what your intentions are, given your relationship with the forces of light, I will let you off the hook for now."
Jennifer placed her hand on the hilt of her sword, subtly shielding the two girls behind her, and said:
"If I sense any malice from you, I will not show mercy next time."
“wee!”
Regaining its freedom, the ray spun around a few times in delight, then saluted with its pectoral fins. However, when it opened its beady eyes, it found that Jennifer and the other two had already walked away without a second thought.
"Wee?" The ray froze, seeing Jennifer and the others walking further and further away. It hurriedly chased after them, shouting:
“wee...wee!”
"?"
Jennifer drew her sword and turned around, looking at the ray that was hovering in front of her, constantly posing with its two pectoral fins that resembled hands. She couldn't help but mutter to herself:
"What is this? A monster rock concert?"
"They don't seem to have any ill intentions..."
Leafa scratched her head, retracted the divine shield she had subconsciously activated, studied the ray's expression for a moment, and said uncertainly:
"Hmm... Master, it seems like it wants to tell us something."
"Is this...?"
Jennifer pondered for a moment, then looked at the ray with a hopeful expression on its face and said sincerely:
"But I can't understand it..."
“wee…” The ray seemed to only realize the problem at first, paused for a second, then immediately clutched its head and howled in pain.
"So monsters have language too..." Jennifer crossed her arms, looking at the ray that seemed to really have something to say, her brow furrowing slightly as she murmured:
“I feel like Lazi definitely has a way, but we need to find the Night Elf tribe and rendezvous with him first… Hmm, we need to find the right direction first. Once we're close enough, the Divine Magic Rings will be able to guide us…”
"wee?!"
Suddenly, as if it had caught a whiff of something, the ray leaped into the air excitedly, waving its pectoral fins and shouting loudly:
“weewee…wee!”
"What is it now..." Jennifer looked at the ray in the air, puzzled, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked with wide eyes:
"Could it be... that you know where the Night Elf tribe is?"
“wee!!”
The ray expanded its body and cried out, then landed back on the ground, waving its pectoral fins as if to signal, and called out:
“wee!”
"...Why would I have such a strange dream that a monster is planning to lead the way for us?"
Jennifer took a deep breath, couldn't help but mutter a complaint under her breath, then glanced at the two girls behind her. Seeing the same curious expressions on their faces, she rubbed her forehead helplessly and muttered:
"Okay, okay... This is crazy these days, even monsters can be used as navigation tools..."
Carrying her sword, she maintained the pure light that protected the three of them, and led the girls in pursuit of the departing ray.
……
……
"Drink!"
Gita plunged her longsword through the forehead of a giant earthworm, then her face contorted in horror. She screamed and scrambled off the earthworm's head, clutching her arms and rolling on the ground twice, tears streaming down her face as she cried out:
"Teacher, I'm hurt, boohoo!"
However, what awaited her was a wooden stick.
Snapped!
Holnet, expressionless, tossed aside the broken stick, looked at Gita who was clutching her head and sobbing, and asked coldly:
"You're abandoning your sword in the middle of a battle? Do you want to die?"
She crouched slightly, then leaped onto the head of the frantically struggling earthworm with a thud. Coldly, she plunged her hand into the earthworm's head, which shimmered with a molten lava-like light, and pulled out Gita's longsword.
Immediately, she plunged her longsword into the side of the earthworm's head, grabbed the hilt, and, with the momentum of the swaying motion, spun around the earthworm's body, gouging out its head.
boom!
The lava-filled head crashed to the ground, but Holnet didn't let up. She lashed out a rope, which instantly ensnared the earthworm's body. Then, she slammed her body against the ground, and a short spear shot out from her cloak, embedding itself in the earth.
despair!
After doing all this, Holnet flipped back to Geeta's side. Looking at the earthworm's headless body, which suddenly began to struggle violently, she smiled coldly, reached out through the fluttering cloak, grabbed Geeta by the back of her collar, and instantly retreated more than ten meters.
The earthworm's mangled body thrashed violently before them, kicking up a cloud of dust and pebbles, but could not advance any further due to the ropes embedded in the ground. Holnet crouched down, silently observing for a moment until the earthworm's struggles gradually ceased, before speaking:
"Did you see how I did it?"
"I see it, teacher."
Geeta spread her hands with a pained expression and said pitifully:
"I won't be afraid of burns next time, so it's still an improvement over last time..."
"..."
Holnett was silent for a moment, then removed Geeta's gauntlets, glanced at her still tender little hands that were red and bruised from the burns, and frowned.
"Heh heh..." Geeta stuck out her tongue and said guiltily, "I was so focused on maintaining the protection on the longsword that I forgot to cover my hands with divine power..."
Holnett and Geeta looked at each other for a few seconds. Seeing Geeta's awkward expression, Holnett shook his head and said:
