Chapter 221 The Flute Girl
"What is this?" Xiao Yichen frowned.
He touched the slime with his sword, and the slime immediately wrapped around the sword, trying to corrode it. Xiao Yichen hurriedly cast a spell to remove the slime from the sword.
At this moment, a hissing sound came from the cave. They looked up and found a huge slime monster on the top of the cave.
The slime monster's body is like a huge water bag, filled with slime of various colors.
Its body has no fixed shape and can change at will, attacking enemies by secreting mucus.
The slime monster discovered them and began to slowly flow down from the top of the cave. Wherever it went, the cave walls were corroded by the slime, making a "sizzling" sound.
"Everyone retreat!" Xiao Yichen shouted. They retreated quickly, but the slime monster was very fast and arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye.
The slime monster spit out a large ball of slime towards them, and the slime covered them like a big net.
Lan Yunyan cast ice magic again, trying to freeze the slime, but the slime was extremely sticky, and even after being partially frozen, it still flew towards them.
Lin Wan'er and Yun Mengyao worked together to cast earth and wind magic, creating a gust of wind that blew the slime aside.
Seeing its attack ineffective, the slime monster changed its tactics. It stretched its body, transforming into a giant slime rope, and wound itself towards them. The slime rope moved at breakneck speed, like a giant, flexible python.
Xiao Yichen swung his sword at the slime rope, but it was like slashing at cotton, with no effect. The slime rope took the opportunity to wrap around Xiao Yichen, trying to drag him away.
"Xiao Yichen!" the others exclaimed. Lan Yunyan hurriedly cast ice magic, creating a layer of ice shell around Xiao Yichen to prevent the slime rope from further harming him.
Then she formed seals with her hands, preparing to cast more powerful magic to deal with the slime monster.
Lan Yunyan cast an ice magic circle, which surrounded the slime monster. Powerful magical fluctuations emanated from the magic circle, trapping the slime monster within. The slime monster struggled within the magic circle, but could not escape.
"Everyone, attack it together!" Lan Yunyan shouted. Everyone immediately cast their magic and attacked the slime monster. Xiao Yichen also cast magic within the ice shell, infusing the power of the gem into his attack.
Under the combined attack of everyone, cracks began to appear on the slime monster's body. The slime in its body continued to flow out, trying to repair the damage to its body.
But the attacks from the crowd became more and more fierce, and the slime monster was finally unable to bear it. Its body exploded and slime splattered everywhere.
Everyone hurriedly cast magic to protect themselves from being splashed by the slime. When everything calmed down, they found that the pungent smell in the cave was even stronger.
Moreover, new passages appeared on the cave walls due to the corrosion of mucus.
"Which passage should we take?" Lin Wan'er asked. Xiao Yichen looked at the passages and after a moment's contemplation, he said, "Let's take the one on the far left. I think that might be the exit."
They walked towards the leftmost passage, which was still filled with a pungent smell, but they did not encounter any other dangers. After walking for a while, they saw a ray of light ahead.
"The exit is right there!" Yun Mengyao said excitedly. They quickened their pace and headed towards the light.
When they came out of the cave, they found themselves at the edge of a beautiful forest.
The trees in the forest are lush and green, and the birds are singing happily on the branches, which forms a sharp contrast with the dark and damp caves.
"Finally out." Lan Yunyan breathed a sigh of relief. They rested for a while at the edge of the forest, recovering some of their magic power.
"Where are we going now?" Lin Wan'er asked.
Xiao Yichen looked at the gem in his hand and said, "This gem still has many secrets. If we continue to explore, we may find more clues about it and be better able to cope with future challenges."
The others nodded, and they took the gems and walked into the forest. The scenery in the forest was breathtaking, with sunlight filtering through the gaps in the leaves and casting patches of light on the ground.
There are all kinds of flowers, plants and trees around, and some cute little animals running around in the woods.
But they were not fooled by the beautiful scenery. They knew that in this seemingly peaceful forest, there might be unknown dangers hidden.
They walked cautiously, always on guard.
As they walked, they heard a melodious flute sound. The sound was so clear and pleasant that it seemed to have a magical power that made people want to get closer.
But they knew that the sound of the flute in such a place was likely a trap.
"Everyone, be careful. There's something fishy about this flute sound." Xiao Yichen warned. They walked towards the direction of the flute sound, wanting to find out what was going on.
When they came to the source of the flute sound, they found that it was a girl in a green robe playing the flute.
The girl had a pretty face and clear eyes, but there were some strange magical fluctuations around her.
"You're here." The girl said with a smile, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Who are you? Why did you lead us here?" Xiao Yichen asked.
The girl put down her flute and said slowly, "I am the guardian of this forest. I know the gems in your hands have special significance. This forest has recently been invaded by a dark force, and I need your help."
"Dark forces? Dark forces again." Lan Yunyan frowned and said, "How do we know what you said is true?"
The girl gently waved her flute, and the surrounding trees began to change. The once emerald green leaves turned yellow, and some small animals became listless.
"This is the influence of the dark power. If it is not stopped in time, the entire forest will be destroyed." said the girl.
Xiao Yichen looked at the changes around him and nodded, "We can help you, but you have to tell us the details about the dark power."
