He turned his head and looked back, suddenly seeing the madness, despair, and even the unwillingness etched deep into the bones of Phil, who was lagging behind. His heart seemed to be struck hard – wasn't his own situation before entering the space, when he was chased by those thugs to the point of desperation, exactly the same as Phil's?

With this thought, Fang Senyan rushed to Phil's side, grabbed his shoulder, and dragged him forward. Phil's eyes showed gratitude, and of course, he also ran frantically to survive. At this time, Deco also turned back and helped another contractor, who seemed to be an acquaintance, to rush forward! As the saying goes, some are happy and some are sad. Unfortunately, the other contractor naturally fell behind. Just as he was about to say something, a huge black shadow suddenly swooped up, whipping its tail wildly, overwhelming him with a pungent stench! Several other black shadows followed, and a shrill scream rang out, followed by the sound of bones and flesh being torn and swallowed.

At this time, Phil, who was running for his life, pretended to gasp for breath. He suddenly whispered to Fang Senyan:

"Sailor, keep running, don't look up, and don't show any surprise. What I'm about to tell you is very important. I guess I'm mostly going to die here! I'm afraid the purpose of the metal mentor and Nu bringing us in is to use our lives to fill traps and mechanisms. Nu thought I didn't know the information about the group of advanced monsters behind us, so he was just talking nonsense, but he didn't know that I had heard about this thing's information when I worked at the pet store a few days ago. Their real name is Black Snake Crocodile. In that river, they use the temperature of the river to incubate their eggs. Their temperament is not gentle, but extremely ferocious. They will attack any creature that approaches them. But if Nu told the truth, he would have to stop and clean up these monsters, which would take a long time, and he would definitely not be able to catch up with the Banks gang."

At this time, the sound of the Black Snake Crocodiles chasing them could no longer be heard, and everyone stopped to gasp for breath and drink some water to recover their strength. Phil also shut his mouth in time. But even if Deco and the other contractor didn't know that Nu was lying, they weren't fools either. After carefully recalling the previous process, anger and suspicion naturally arose in their hearts.

Obviously, the metal mentor also realized the awkward atmosphere in the team. After a moment of silence, he said faintly:

"Next, Nu and I will lead the way."

As he said that, he took the lead and walked forward.

At this time, the retreat was blocked by the group of Black Snake Crocodiles, so even if they wanted to retreat, they couldn't go back. Even if the remaining people were dissatisfied, they could only silently follow.

They walked for nearly half an hour, and the hot spring stream had long disappeared. What was even more bizarre was that the fluorescent light emitted from the walls gradually disappeared, and ahead was an indescribable darkness. Having reached this point, even Deco, who was the most loyal to the metal mentor, stopped and said in a muffled voice:

"Mentor, we can't go any further."

The metal mentor turned his head and said coldly:

"Nu and I are leading the way, what are you afraid of?"

The contractor who had been rescued by Deco had narrowly escaped death. Facing the threat of death at this time, he ignored the authority of the metal mentor and protested:

"Wasn't someone leading the way just now? But didn't someone still die? Mentor, if you have relevant information, take it out for everyone to analyze and refer to. To be honest, we entered this space prepared to face death at any time, but we should at least die knowing why!"

The metal mentor stared at him for a full five minutes, as if staring at a lamb. Sweat dripped from the contractor's forehead. But at this moment, Phil also stood up and said coldly:

"I think he's right."

Deco didn't express his opinion, but sat down directly on the ground with his bow in his arms, using body language to vent his resentment.

Fang Senyan shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and smiled:

"This kind of place is already very dangerous. Walking forward in the dark is indeed playing with our lives. I don't agree with stopping, but I agree with finding something to light the way."

"Cannot illuminate," Nu said indifferently. "Ahead is a large area of Devil Vines. They are immune to all kinds of damage. Once they come into contact with something that struggles violently, they will grab it tighter! They will let go as long as they are grabbed and don't struggle. However, once they come into contact with light, these terrible vines will be stimulated and rush up frantically, grabbing you tightly! You will never be able to break free!"

"You should all know the scene in the original plot, right? Dumbledore also used this kind of vine to guard the Philosopher's Stone. However, the Devil Vines he planted in the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets were temporary transplants, and their scale was only one percent of the ones here, so they withered directly when illuminated by Hermione's magic light. But here... in this area where these Devil Vines have grown for thousands of years, if anyone dares to use light to illuminate them, they will suffer the most terrifying counterattack from the Devil Vines!"

Phil suddenly said:

"The Devil Vine is a very aggressive plant. In the plot, the Devil Vine was placed under the kennel of the three-headed dog Fluffy, and it can use the excrement of the three-headed dog as food. But what does the Devil Vine in this place use as food?"

As soon as he said this, Nu's eyes immediately pierced Phil's face like two needles. Phil smiled coldly as if he didn't notice:

"A beetle! This beetle is very similar to the Egyptian scarab. They use the Devil Vine as a nest to protect their larvae, and there is an underground river here, so these beetles can prey on fish in the water. Their excrement can nourish the survival of the Devil Vine. If we rush in, most of us should be able to survive, but there will always be one or two people who will have their entire bodies drilled through by the scarabs, enjoying the pain of having their internal organs parasitized and laying eggs, screaming madly for a day before dying!"

As soon as Phil said these words, it was obvious that unless the remaining three people were fools, they would rather be judged and die here than suffer that kind of torment! They would definitely not be willing to take another half step forward. At this time, the metal mentor stood up and looked at Phil, saying word by word:

"Very good, you did very well. If it weren't for your reminder, the clan would have lost brothers again. Although Nu has a wide range of knowledge, there are still things he doesn't consider. In that case, let's leave the task of opening this path to us."

Then the metal mentor looked at Nu and said lightly:

"Call out Ironhorn, and use it to open the way! The mere Devil Vine will definitely not be able to stop its brute force!"

Then the metal mentor waved his hand, presumably casting a spell similar to an illumination spell. Immediately, everyone saw that the end of the cave was covered with a layer of black, clawing things, occupying at least several thousand square meters, distributed on both sides of the road. It was difficult to describe the specific nature of this thing. To be precise, human cancer cells magnified hundreds of thousands of times were somewhat similar to this thing.

When the light shone on the Devil Vine, this thing immediately boiled like a boiled viscous liquid, and then transformed into countless short, thick, black tentacles that danced wildly! It looked like the end of the world, a hellish scene. And on the ground near the Devil Vine, there were many black spots crawling around, which should be the scarabs that Phil mentioned.

The armored Stegosaurus Ironhorn was obviously extremely irritable. As soon as it was summoned, it roared to the sky and began to dig the ground with its huge hooves, as if a racing car was revving its engine before starting. Then, after Nu and the metal mentor rode on it, it rushed forward crazily! The ground began to tremble as Ironhorn slowly accelerated. With the sound of rumbling running, this prehistoric beast recklessly buried its head and charged!

Fang Senyan and the others didn't dare to delay and hurriedly followed.

This Devil Vine was indeed terrifying. Even the terrifying brute force of the armored Stegosaurus could only allow it to rush out for more than fifty meters before being tightly entangled by the surrounding tentacles. But at this time, the metal mentor also showed a very powerful magic ability. A light spell was cast, directly flashing the surrounding Devil Vines, causing them to dance wildly and emitting a large amount of white smoke. In this way, Ironhorn could rush out another ten meters.

However, the metal mentor couldn't possibly be a great being like Dumbledore, let alone a pervert. The light spell he released could only last for five or six seconds at most, so the Devil Vine counterattacked again, and he had to rely on the armored Stegosaurus to struggle and resist strongly. After repeated like this, they finally broke through the encirclement of the Devil Vine, but the armored Stegosaurus Ironhorn had also been stripped of a large amount of skin, flesh, and bone plates all over its body, and suffered considerable injuries. It lay on the ground and wailed不停的哀鸣, while the metal mentor, who had cast nearly twenty light spells, was also greatly injured, gasping for breath violently. It was estimated that his mental power, even if it wasn't completely exhausted, was very little.

Even the four people following behind suffered casualties: this time, Deco encountered an accident while following the armored Stegosaurus. Several scarabs suddenly fell from the top of his head, breaking through his defense, and he immediately fell to the ground. He could only try his best to prevent these insects from drilling into his body.

Seeing that he was about to be devoured, the contractor whom Deco had previously rescued stepped forward and released a large fireball spell to kill the surrounding scarabs, but the remaining power of the fireball affected the Devil Vine! Immediately, this contractor was entangled by the Devil Vine's wildly dancing tentacles. Although he immediately stopped moving as Nu had said, several scarabs had already surrounded him like foraging ants.
