Magic Tech’s Lair

When the basic goal is reached, the task is considered complete.

However, this task is flexible. After completing the basic goal, you can still continue to catch pets. The upper limit is 5.

At this time, there are nearly two hours left before the end of the task.

On the other side of the lake, another team of adventurers came, about six or seven people, setting up an ambush by the lake, obviously preparing to hunt here.

Considering that the capture of the big cat and the six-legged turtle just now was not a small movement, the more vigilant monsters around had already been startled, and a new team came to interfere, so Cao Yan decisively decided to leave.

Eggy Xu thought it would be interesting to set up an ambush to beat Sap and bully monsters. Sensing Cao Yan's intention to leave, she raised a limb with lightning speed.

This is... raise your hand to answer?

Cao Yan blinked and looked at Eggy.

Dandan hurriedly raised her limbs and pointed to a direction in the jungle, signaling that she wanted to go there.

Cao Yan nodded, and it led the way, left the small lake, and walked in the direction just pointed.

The ants actively responded to the call of the big brother, and the evolved bats followed closely behind.

Cao Yan's thighs were worn out, and he struggled to walk. He still rode on the leopard's back and followed calmly. The small team quickly disappeared into the depths of the jungle.

After following Eggy for a while, Cao Yan's team finally came to a high ground.

The shadows of the trees are whirling, and the moonlight is like water.

Borrowing the white moonlight, Cao Yan looked forward.

There is a relatively flat area in front of it, with not many trees, and a huge surface cave appears among the tangled vines.

Looking down from the highland where Cao Yan is located, you can see the panorama of the cave.

The entrance of the cave is irregularly oval, with a diameter of more than 40 to 50 meters. The cave is quiet and silent, and it is so dark that it seems to be able to swallow light. It is impossible to see the depth of even one or two meters in the cave.

Cao Yan narrowed his eyes, recalling some information in his mind.

Before he entered the jungle for the first time, he had made full preparations, including consulting the geographical information of the jungle near the magic capital and so on.

This cave is called the Source of Darkness.

Cao Yan had seen it in the books borrowed from the library of the association, judging from the direction of movement after entering the jungle, it should be the cave of the source of darkness mentioned in the book, and it was not wrong.

The records about this cave in the book are quite mysterious.

The origin of the name 'source of darkness' is because a long time ago, this cave often erupted a black mist tide. Whenever the fog tide erupts, it will be affected within a hundred miles around, just like the night falls, turning into a place without light.

There are relevant speculations that some kind of mysterious totem-level creature may live in the depths of the cave, which can swallow darkness and erode daylight.

That's why the terrifying dark fog tide descended.

In recent years, there has been no fog tide in this cave, but the cave is complex like a maze, with a vast area, and it is true that there are many cave monsters living in it. It is a rare dangerous place within a few hundred miles of the magic capital.

The most evil thing is that the terrain in the cave is said to change frequently and is not fixed. This is a completely anti-scientific geographical phenomenon.

In such a weird place, Cao Yan read a book with a special scarlet reminder, warning adventurers not to enter the cave as much as possible.

"Have you ever entered this cave?" Cao Yan asked Eggy.

Eggy moved the spider's head, which meant that it had entered, eager to try.

Although there is a pet master assistant who can spy on the screen at any time to check the whereabouts of Eggy, Cao Yan has his own things to do after all, and it is impossible to keep an eye on him all the time, so he only knows what Eggy is doing in the jungle. Probably, it is not clear when it entered the source of darkness.

Cao Yan came out to catch pets this time, and never thought of going into the cave, so he didn't have the equipment to go deep into the cave. Given the darkness of the cave, it was too dangerous to go in with black eyes and wait to be beaten. .

Cao Yan would not do such a stupid thing,

And he's a coward, he should spare his life, there's no reason to venture into a cave of unknown depth.

Cao Yan waved his hand and was about to leave, but the interface screen suddenly appeared:

[Short-term mission] Cave trial for the growth of magic pets

[Mission Description] Your demon pet Dandan is about to be promoted to the third rank. The cave in front is the most suitable place for it to grow and exercise. There are many dark attribute monsters in the cave, which can provide advanced energy reserves for Dandan.

[Requirements] Let Eggy enter alone, hunt and kill the monsters in the source of darkness, the number of hunted is not less than 6, and the stage cannot be lower than the second level!

[Time limit] 70 minutes

[Reward] A shadow attribute fragment, if the trial fails, 50 points will be deducted.

"Shadow attribute fragments?" Cao Yan stopped in his tracks.

"Yes." The fake system cherishes words like gold and doesn't explain much.

Cao Yan looked at Eggy, but Eggy was staring at the source of darkness in the distance.

It sensed a pleasant atmosphere in it, and it really wanted to go for a stroll in the cave.

Seeing Cao Yan look over at this time, Eggy responded with a small look, meaning that she wanted to go in and make waves.

It tried to walk a few steps in the direction of the source of darkness. Seeing that Cao Yan didn't stop it, it immediately became excited. It happily took the steps of a spider, sprinted down the high ground, and finally turned into a shadow and floated into the source of darkness. cave.

Cao Yan called out the pet master's assistant and asked the magic leopard to be in charge of guarding. He came under a tree by himself and observed the situation of Eggy after entering the cave through the assistant's screen.

The bats evolved by the ants retract their wings and hang upside down on the tree. They are so lifelike that they can't tell the difference from real bats.

Soon, the ants split into a small team and started to work hard, looking for food, and never let go of any opportunity to eat to accumulate energy and reproduce.

The assistant screen is a product of high-dimensional black technology provided by the spaceship, which is not affected by the darkness in the cave and accurately displays the situation of Eggy. If it wasn't through the assistant's screen, the shadow of its avatar would not be found at all by vision alone.

Cao Yan looked at it for a while, and his mentality gradually stabilized.

That cave may be very dangerous for adventurers, but Eggy itself has a dark attribute, and it can handle with ease in the dark cave, giving full play to the advantages of shadow and dark attribute.

Soon after, the assistant pushes the handwriting on the screen:

[Magic Pet Tips]

[Your magic pet Eggy hunted and killed a second-order cave spider, and the evolution value increased by 2%, reaching 79%...]

In the sky, the moon was covered by dark clouds, and then it began to rain.

Cao Yan put on his hood, let the rain fall from his cheeks, and waited patiently under the tree. A thought flashed through his mind: It has been almost a month since he came to this world without knowing it.

It seems that the danger of Dandan entering the hole is not great, Cao Yan's mood relaxed, a little distracted, thinking about something, suddenly felt something wrong, the surrounding light became extremely dark.

He looked up at the sky alertly.
