"If it possesses a living being, we can kill it at will. If it doesn't, it will take fire, lightning, energy-type, and spirit-type attacks to kill us."
The monster answered truthfully. After all, it had said almost everything it should and shouldn't say, and it didn't want to continue being tough. Being tough would only bring trouble upon itself.
"What does your magical weapon emit? Why do people die suddenly after hearing it?"
This is also a big problem. What if the artifact sends out a signal when they are in the cave, and they hear it, will they die instantly? If so, he dare not go in.
The unknown is frightening. Even though Lu Chengchuan is very powerful, he is still a little scared when facing this unknown power.
"that..."
The monster hesitated, and it seemed reluctant to say this. However, when Lu Chengchuan slowly picked up the crystal, it was afraid of being tortured, so it gave up the idea of ​​resistance.
"The power it emits can only kill ordinary creatures. Creatures with even a little bit of strength will not die. The artifact was sent here, not to kill people."
It still tells the truth about the power of the artifact. Its main function is not to kill people, but to send them to other worlds. Killing is just an additional effect when the artifact is in operation.
"I hope you don't lie to me, otherwise you'd better pray that I will die in there, otherwise..."
Lu Chengchuan didn't finish his words, but the threat was obvious. His cold tone made the monster soul in the crystal feel a chill as if it were real.
"I absolutely did not lie to you." The monster shouted in fear.
It actually hoped that the power of the artifact could kill this person, but this was impossible because it knew that the power of the artifact was limited and even if it exploded ten times, it would not be able to kill this guy.
After putting away the crystal, he found Zhou Yaning and said, "There are still thousands of unpossessed monsters in the cave. Bullets and swords are useless against them. We need energy or mental attacks to kill them."
"Energy and mental attacks... I understand. Tomorrow, we'll split them into two teams. Those who meet the requirements will enter the cave, and those who don't will stay outside to guard it."
Zhou Yaning quickly thought of a solution. It was not a difficult problem.
The next day, the sun rose and after the sunlight shone on the earth, everyone woke up from their sleep and had breakfast. Zhou Yaning called Liu Shian over.
"Captain Liu, your people need to split into two teams. Those with physical enhancement abilities need to be separated. There are many spiritual monsters in the cave, and they can't deal with them."
Zhou Yaning explained the situation to him and asked him to prepare in advance.
"Okay, I'll arrange it for them." Liu Shian said as he raised his hand and saluted.
As a soldier, obeying orders is his duty. His superiors ordered him to follow all arrangements made by Zhou Yaning, even if Zhou Yaning is not a military member.
"Okay, we'll set off in half an hour. That place is still quite far from here. I calculated the time and it might take us until the afternoon to get there."
The cave was a bit far from them, and not accounting for the possibility of accidents along the way, it would take five or six hours to walk there.
After sitting for half an hour, Zhou Yaning gave an order and the soldiers stood up and prepared to set off.
Lu Chengchuan at the back put away the crystal and walked behind the main group to prevent any accidents.
At noon, as they got closer to the cave, Zhou Yaning and his team discovered many traces of monsters, which made them more careful about their steps, for fear of being attacked by monsters.
Lu Chengchuan was not that nervous, as his earth escape technique allowed him to sense many movements underground.
If there really were monsters below, Lu Chengchuan would be able to sense their presence in advance before they launched an attack.
He did not speak a word to remind them. In such a cautious range, they walked for several kilometers. Along the way, they saw many strange traces, but no monsters.
The desolate mountain area was very quiet, and the closer to the cave, the quieter it became, which made Zhou Yaning feel something was wrong.
She raised her hand to signal the team to stop. When everyone was alert around them, she went to the back of the team to find Lu Chengchuan.
"Do you think this place is normal?"
Zhou Yaning couldn't tell what was wrong. In order to ensure the safety of the team, she had to listen to what Lu Chengchuan had to say.
"It's definitely not normal, but there are no monsters around. There's a cave not far ahead. Maybe the monsters are hiding in the cave and haven't come out."
Lu Chengchuan was also confused, but under the coverage of his mental power, there were indeed no ambush monsters around.
"What do you think we should do?"
"We've come this far, are we going to turn around and leave? Let's keep going until we find the cave."
Lu Chengchuan saw the entrance to the cave. They were not far from their destination, so it was not possible to leave now.
Zhou Yaning also knew that she just wanted to hear what Lu Chengchuan thought. If there was any danger, Lu Chengchuan would definitely explain it to her. It seemed that there should be no big problem now.
"keep going!"
The team set off again, and about half an hour later, they arrived at the foot of a high mountain.
A few hundred meters ahead and dozens of meters high on the mountain, a dark cave entrance appeared in front of everyone. That was probably the entrance to the cave, but it was not as easy to get to as they imagined.
"Captain Zhou, we have climbing equipment with us. Do we want to go up?"
When they looked up at the cave entrance, Liu Shian took the initiative to find Zhou Yaning.
"Take out the tools first and don't rush to get close." Zhou Yaning nodded and asked someone to prepare the climbing tools first.
Lu Chengchuan walked over, looked up, and said to her, "It's here. There is a passage above. Go down about a hundred meters. The cave is right below the passage."
"Is there any danger up there?"
Zhou Yaning didn't know how he saw the scene inside, so she just assumed that his eyes were flying.
"There's nothing in the passage, but there are more than a dozen monsters lying in ambush at the foot of the mountain. We have to get rid of them if we want to go up." Lu Chengchuan shook his head. The passage was just a simple passage, but there were real monsters at the foot of the mountain.
More than a dozen parasitic monsters are lying in ambush more than ten meters deep at the foot of the mountain. If you want to climb up the cave, you can't avoid them, so you can only get rid of the monsters first.
"Tell me, if we kill these monsters, will the monsters in the cave notice it?"
"I don't know, but entering the cave might awaken the monsters inside. If possible, it would be more advantageous for you to fight the monsters outside."
He didn't care about these things. The battle was bound to happen, but for Zhou Yaning and the others, it was better to be in a bright place than in a dark cave.
"How about we make some noise and let the monsters in the cave come looking for us?"
If a fight really breaks out, it will definitely be better for them outside. There is probably no light in the cave, and even wearing night vision equipment will be limited.
Unlike here, there is plenty of light and the venue is spacious.
"That's it, I'll take care of the monsters underground. Just tell me when you want to start fighting."
"If nothing unexpected happens, it will take about an hour. They also need to rest."
