Douluo Continent: Start from signing in Twins
Chapter 98
Chapter 98
At this moment, in this mine, nearly a hundred people from this joint team are searching everywhere.Trying to find some valuable clues here.
However, compared to the elite Imperial Knights and Templar Knights, these adventurers from the [Warhammer Mercenary Corps] and dozens of guards from the [Guard Corps] in Soto City searched harder...
However, they are working hard to find valuable minerals, so that they can be taken out and sold for money...
At this moment, a female adventurer took out a small piece of silver ore from a gap in a mine cart, and excitedly exclaimed to the man next to her:
"Honey, take a look! I found a good thing!"
"This is... Mithril rough! Did those miners miss it here?
Hahaha, not bad!Such a small piece should be worth several gold soul coins.We earned it, we earned it! Beside her, the male adventurer also said happily.
At the same time, the male adventurer added: "That's right! We did not make a mistake on this trip. The head of the team really thought of us the most. This mission is indeed worthwhile!
Moreover, according to the leader, the entrustment reward this time is not low.
Wait, when it's over.I can also save enough money.Marry you home! "
"Damn it! You're coaxing people there again! I don't even look where this is..." The female adventurer couldn't help but blush a little. Although she cursed, her heart was full of sweetness.
Obviously, have been looking forward to this day for a long time...
"What does it matter? Anyway, we will soon be a family... What does it matter if others hear it..." The adventurer man laughed and joked boldly.I am quite happy...
"Okay! Stop joking, let's talk after this mission is over.
This time, in addition to our group, there are also many important figures here.Just before entering the mine, the head of the group told us to be a little more careful in our actions..." This girl blushed and shyly shyly.
"Hee hee, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Let's be quiet!" The man persevered in his temptation.
only.
The next moment, just these two people are in love, when you come and go.
A sharp cry of misery instantly startled the two of them.
I saw that the front of the two of them was not far away.A guard who was still lying on the entrance of a mine just now, holding a piece of red jade on the stone wall.
But his whole body froze, and then he was paralyzed on the ground, and began to twitch crazily.
The cry of pain came from his mouth!
"Honey, what, what is that? It's disgusting!" the female adventurer Daisy exclaimed immediately.
On the chest of the fallen guard, an extremely disgusting and strange insect was lying on it, devouring the corpse below.
However, this Zerg was as long as half a person, covered with a layer of earth-colored armor, with eight pairs of sharp long legs underneath, and the overall shape was like a centipede.
However, its size is more than ten times larger than a normal centipede!Moreover, the monster's mouthparts are even more frightening, round in shape, covered with dozens of tiny sharp teeth, and can even grow bigger than itself.
Just one glance is enough to make your scalp tingle...
"I, I don't know either. It must be some kind of soul beast!
It's attacking the guard, right?Quick, try to attack it first! "The male adventurer Myron was also frightened, his eyes widened in shock.
After all, he doesn't even know this kind of strange and terrifying monster!
However, he is also a senior adventurer anyway.By the way, he suppressed his distracting thoughts, released his martial soul, and launched an attack.
"brush--"
A silver longbow appeared in his hand, it was really his martial spirit [Silver Moon Inlaid Bow].
Then, the long arrow of soul power was condensed by it, aimed at the monster, directly drew the bow and shot it out.
The arrow of soul power arrived in an instant, as if it could hit the monster in the next moment.
However, this monster was extremely fast, after sensing the danger.He dodged it in an instant, jumped off the corpse, burrowed directly into the rocky ground below, and dodged the arrow...
Then, all I could see was that the rocky ground in front of the two of them was rising rapidly, and they were rushing towards them.
"Damn it, this thing wants to sneak up and attack us!" The male adventurer roared angrily, but didn't hold back...
"The third soul skill [Lifting Arrow]"
I saw bows and arrows like a full moon, and arrows like shooting stars.
In an instant, three mighty arrows shot out in an instant, straightly hitting the small raised bump on the ground in front of him.
The soul power exploded, directly breaking the piece of earth and rock.
However, the monster in the soil was also hit by the attack... It was directly blasted out of the soil and rocks, broke into two pieces, and continued to struggle on the ground.
However, no matter how you look at it, you can't survive.
"Phew... it scared me.
I thought it was so ferocious, but it doesn’t look like it’s all right... A soul skill killed it..." Looking at the corpse of the monster on the ground, such a male adventurer let out a long breath and turned to face his lover beside him. With emotion, while being proud.
Anyway, he is also a level 33 soul master, so he still has some strength.
However, the next moment, the smile on his lover's face froze.
"Myron, look..." Daisy stretched out her fingers tremblingly, pointing forward.
The male adventurer Myron looked back.
All of a sudden, in the mine ahead, something exactly the same as the monster just now was gushing out crazily.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of them came out.
Moreover, in other mines on the surrounding rock walls, this kind of monsters also began to appear crazily, densely packed, countless...
He was stalking, and rushed towards other people around him...
"Damn! Go, go back!" The male adventurer's face darkened, and the alarm bells rang in his heart.
He didn't dare to stay for a moment, he just pulled his lover beside him and ran towards his head, not daring to stay for a moment...
……
With the screams one after another, it is obvious that many people have already lost their lives in the mouths of those monsters.
The entire central mine fell into chaos.
And the adventurer lovers also quickly came to the black hole, found their leader Barrett, and reported with lingering fear.
"Myron, Daisy, what's wrong? What happened?" Barrett asked seriously.
"We were attacked by a monster, terrible, and in great numbers! …"
"Monster? What kind of monster can there be here? What does it look like? Tell me!"
"They look similar to centipedes, but there are obvious differences..."
Listening to Myron's description, the group leader also frowned. He had never heard of this kind of monster!
At this moment, Professor Ang Luo at the side recognized it.
Quickly explained: "It's 'Arthropod'! A very special kind of spirit beast that grows in underground caves rich in ore. Their mouthparts are extremely developed, they feed on grinding ore, and they like to move in groups.
Uncommon in mineral veins.But once you meet them, it will be a nightmare for all miners!
Twenty years ago, this kind of spirit beast was also found in the first hematite mine on the northern plain.
For this reason, the empire also dispatched thousands of elite knights to strangle them.But in the end nothing happened.The mine had to be closed...
It can be seen that these strange insects are terrifying! "
"Arthropods? There are such strange insects? Thousands of elite knights can't be eradicated?" the female knight Eileen exclaimed.
"Well! It's true, and, it seems.
There are far more of this kind of strange insects here than in that mine.Just relying on the people here, I'm afraid it's unstoppable! "Hearing the screams one after another, Professor Ang Luo became more and more serious.
Directly pointed out the crisis of the status quo.
As long as there are enough of these monsters, even soul emperors and soul saints can grind them to death!
"Then, professor, what should we do? Are we going to break out?" The female knight did not exclaim, but asked calmly, showing a strong psychological quality!
"Everyone, quickly call everyone over, quickly build a defensive circle, and block these monsters out first!
Otherwise, once it is overwhelmed by the swarm of insects.We are all doomed! "
Hearing this, everyone immediately followed suit.
The imperial knights, Wuhun Hall, mercenary group and Tianlin's guards were all called back immediately to form a defensive line.
And they released their martial souls one after another, releasing various attacks.
Block those numerous monsters from outside the line of defense to buy time.
……
In the distance, there are so many terrifying monsters rolling in the sky, just looking at it makes one's scalp tingle.
These 'Arthropods', although their individual abilities are not strong, are ranked at the bottom among many soul beasts.
But I can't stand the large number!
'As the saying goes, ants kill elephants more often', what's more, the bite force of these 'arthropods' is much stronger than that of ordinary ants, and those hard ores can grind them into powder.Not to mention the flesh and blood of the human body?
Obviously, if there is a strong resistance, there will be absolutely no good end.
"Sister Li, are you sure?" Tian Lin looked ahead with a serious expression.
"No! There are too many... Unless the strength is fully utilized, it is still possible to fight out..." Yali replied seriously.Apparently, these fearsome 'arthropods' were not underestimated
Hearing this, Tianlin also frowned slightly.
It would be a shame to be forced to leave like this!
So, after a short pause, he made a decision.
"Sister Li, let's go. Let's go straight down here. Let's take a look at what's down here... If it's really not good, then break out with a burst of strength..."
"Okay!" Yali nodded and agreed.
"By the way, Sister Li, without a rope, at a height of nearly 50 meters, are you sure you can land safely?"
"I can't trouble myself at this height! Hurry up, Xiaolin, hold Sister Xueyin! Let's go down..."
"hug?"
Tianlin paused for a moment, but saw the densely packed soul beasts "arthropods" around his side, as if they were coming from the black tide.He also immediately strengthened his determination.
Immediately hugged the silver-haired princess next to her, "I'm sorry, Your Highness!"
Then, Yali also grabbed Tianlin's skirt, and released her martial spirit, and opened the jade umbrella.
Then he took the two of them and jumped into the black hole in front of him...
Naturally, Tianlin's swift action also stunned the other groups of people.
They, why did they go straight down?
Are you not afraid of any greater dangers down here?
It's just that he looked at the strange insects that rushed towards him like a tide.It seems that they have no other way out...
As a result, Wuhundian also took action immediately.
As the soul sect, Xie Yue didn't hesitate, and directly swung her Wuhun Moonblade, inserting it into the rock wall of the black hole again and again, and with superb skills, steadily and gradually slid down...
And his younger sister, the saintess Hu Liena, seemed even more extraordinary, jumping directly into the black hole in front of her, probably having some kind of magical means of forced landing.
And the remaining temple deacon Mo Duo, as well as several other templar knights, also drew their weapons one after another.
Inserted into the stone wall, using the same method as Xie Yue, to go down...
……
At the same time, looking at that nasty dandy boy, he jumped directly without hesitation. On the side of the Imperial Knights, the female knight Elena couldn't believe it...
Is that hateful dude so courageous?
"Professor, what shall we do? Go down too?"
"Okay, let's go down too. We can't break out of the encirclement alone.
Instead of staying here.It's better to go down and look for a chance! "
"it is good!"
After the decision was made, the Imperial Knights also took action.
They were all fully equipped, and besides standard long swords, they also brought bows and arrows.
At this moment, under the instruction of the female knight captain, arrows were quickly shot out one after another, and were inserted into the rock wall of the black hole.
In a short while, an arrow 'long ladder' was created.
Then, he immediately escorted Professor Ang Luo, and climbed down the black hole along the "ladder".
……
As for the adventurers [Warhammer Mercenaries], they seemed a little more stable.
"Boss, shall we go down?"
"Next!" The head of the group, Barrett, gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Quick, take out all the hemp ropes we're carrying, splice them all together, and let's go down with the ropes!"
"Then, boss, how long is the rope? All our ropes are not enough to connect 100 meters! Who knows how deep this hole is! What if it's not long enough..."
"Give me two! Two 45-meter-long ones! Fix the rope to the edge of the hole!" Barrett recalled the boy's words, once again became cruel, and immediately made a decision.
"it is good!"
Several adventurers from the mercenary group immediately spliced the ropes on their bodies.
They have been exploring outside all year round and carrying out commissions, so they naturally carry all kinds of equipment, of course hemp rope and the like are indispensable.
At this point, after splicing together the few pieces of twine that are available, they are secured to the edge of the hole.Then, the remaining mercenaries slid down the rope one after another and entered the black hole.
……
Compared with the other three parties, the soldiers of these guard regiments appeared to be in a panic.
Several guards, still extremely stupid, drove their martial souls, trying to rush through the swarm of insects and escape from the main mine!
As a result, naturally, within a few steps, he was directly overwhelmed by the swarm of insects, and was devoured until there was no flesh left...
And the remaining nearly twenty guards were also scared to death.
They are used to being domineering in Suotuo City, and it is easy for them to bully ordinary people in the city.But when confronted with this kind of thoughtless and extremely crazy monster, they all became shrinking turtles.
Even unwilling to hold the line of defense, but hastily sought escape.
However, after seeing that other people 'showed their abilities' one after another, they jumped into that black hole.
The rest of the guards, of course, quickly jumped towards the black hole, in order to survive...
All of a sudden, the central mine became even more chaotic, with blood splattered everywhere, and people were constantly being devoured by those terrifying swarms...
...
The collapsed cave is very deep and dark, and it seems that it is really impossible to see the bottom.
At this moment, Yali was dragging Tianlin, Tianlin was holding Xueyin, and the three of them descended slowly with the help of the glazed jade umbrella.
After falling slowly for more than ten seconds, the three of them finally landed at the bottom of the deep cave.
The bottom of the cave is very dark, and you can't see your fingers, which makes people panic subconsciously.
"Xiaolin, sister Xueyin. Are you all okay?"
"It's okay, Sister Li, I'm fine!"
Then, Tianlin felt that his right hand was grabbed by a pair of delicate speaking hands, and three words were written on it.
【I'm fine】
Obviously, this is Xueyin responding to him.
"His Royal Highness Xueyin is fine!"
As he said that, Tianlin immediately took out several fluorescent stones from his storage wristband, and threw them around to lighten up the surroundings a little.
At this moment, the deep hole above the head, other people also fell down one after another.
"Hey, handsome boys, you are quite courageous! You jumped down first, aren't you afraid of the danger below?" The saint Hu Liena, who was gently falling, looked around.
He stopped his gaze on the three of Tianlin and began to tease curiously.
In her opinion, those noble children are more timid than the other, and there are very few of them who have the courage to jump directly.This handsome guy is getting more and more interesting, isn't he?
"Hmph! What's none of your business?" Hearing this, before Tianlin could speak, Yali immediately turned back...
"This little sister! No one has taught you, girls, it's better not to get angry casually? If you are so fierce, no one will like you in the future!" Hu Liena squinted her eyes and continued to joke with a smile.
"You are the little sister! Your whole family is a little sister!" Ya Lidang was furious.If she revealed her identity, she wouldn't dare to resist if she just pressed this 'little fox' on the ground and spanked her...
I haven't seen her for a few years. I never thought that the little girl who was circling around me, crying and crying for candy.
At this moment, I dare to tease myself, so 'arrogant'!
It's simply rebellion!
……
However, just as this side was about to tear it apart, other people also landed in the deep hole above.
And the people who came down, began to survey the surroundings, and at the same time began to be vigilant above, fearing that those terrible monsters would also pour in from the top of the cave and attack them again...
However, what they waited for was indeed several bodies of guards who fell to death because they jumped off in a hurry and were not ready to land.
To the embarrassment of others...
Then, in just three or four minutes, all the remaining people fell from the deep cave and gathered in the dark cave.
Compared with the large team of nearly a hundred people at the beginning.
At this moment, less than half of the people successfully escaped from the mouths of those strange insects and landed below.
To be precise, adding up, there are only individuals in their early 40s.
It can be seen how tragic the battle just now was.
If they hesitated for a moment, they were afraid that the entire army would be wiped out!
"Professor, it seems that those strange insects didn't chase after them!" The female knight Elena pressed the giant sword on her waist, stared at the cave above, and was ready to fight at any time.
"Huh—" Professor Ang Luo took a long breath, and said happily: "This kind of 'arthropod' has a strong desire to control its territory, and is naturally extremely vigilant about unknown areas.
This collapsed cave is most likely an area that these strange insects have never touched.
So, I didn't catch up! "
"I see! This professor seems to know these strange insects very well?" The saint Hu Liena at the side also praised.In this case, having a knowledgeable professor is naturally the last thing to do.
"His Royal Highness praised you. The old man just lived a little longer and saw a little more. Compared with His Royal Highness, it is not worth mentioning." Professor Ang Luo responded lightly.
Although he is afraid of the strength of Wuhundian, in this kind of place, he doesn't believe that Her Majesty the Holy Maiden will suddenly turn against her.Unless, she is out of her mind...
Therefore, after politely responding.The professor, however, paid more attention to the little brown-haired boy not far away.
……
And right here, they are still discussing about those strange insects.
Next to them, a not-so-small dispute suddenly broke out.
And the main object of the dispute is Tianlin!
"I'm going to kill you! You bastards, you cowards! I'm going to kill you!" An adventurer man, holding a big sword in his hand, was looking at Tianlin with a ferocious face, and the only one next to Tianlin The few remaining guards roared.
Just now, in the central mine, they had obviously formed a defensive line, defending against those strange insects.
If their forces from all directions work together, not to mention defeating those monsters, it is still possible to resist for a while.
However, these guards, who were greedy for life and fear of death, gave up their defense immediately and fled in a panic.Even the entire defense line collapsed in an instant, allowing those ferocious monsters to enter the defense line.
However, the mercenary's younger brother and two comrades-in-arms were all devoured by those strange insects just now!
Obviously.
If these guards can resist a little bit, or if they don't flee at the beginning, causing the line of defense to be broken.
His younger brother and comrades in arms will not die!
He naturally wanted to vent his anger.So, he took other teammates and came to settle accounts with these guards.
At the same time, as the leader of these guards, this "little nobleman" Tianlin naturally became the target of these angry adventurers.
The remaining Imperial Knights and Templar Knights not far away also lost many teammates just now.
Naturally, they glared at Tianlin one after another, full of hostility towards those "cowardly as a mouse" guards and Tianlin and others.
For a while, all the survivors subconsciously isolated Tian Lin and the others.
Prepare to be held accountable!
"Young master, don't blame me! Those monsters are too scary!
Me, we can't control our feet subconsciously!Normal people would run away..." A guard brazenly argued. He even forced out a little tear, showing a very pitiful look.
But in the eyes of Tianlin and others, it was so disgusting.
Originally, Tianlin didn't have any good impressions of these guards who could only 'follow others' and 'grow their hearts with profit'.Now, I just feel a little more disgusted.
Indeed, when faced with such strange insects, everyone would be afraid.
But, what is really infuriating.It was these guards who clearly occupied one side at the beginning and formed a line of defense.But it collapsed in the first place, leaving a gap in the line of defense.
Even if they refused at the beginning and let others fill the gap, it would be better than this kind of 'fleeing' behavior!
Therefore, this caused such a great loss.
The rest, of course, could not help being hostile to these guards, and even poured their anger on them for losing their teammates.By the way, the three of Tianlin were also resentful.
Of course, Tianlin also remembered the adventurer who was the first to accuse them and pointed the finger at him just now.
After a while, I will look for opportunities to let him experience the 'thrill' of 'shooting the top bird'.
……
"It's all their fault! They must be redeemed! If it weren't for them, our brother would never have died!"
"It's them. Kill them. This kind of shameless person who is greedy for life and fears death is not worthy of the word guard at all. Maybe they are fake!"
"Shit, you are spitting blood!
We are all members of the regular Soto City [Guard Regiment].I think you adventurers are all sly-eyed.Maybe it's the criminal that the Kingdom is hunting down! "
Facing the accusation, these guards also glared and refuted.They didn't realize their mistake at all.
He even used Tianlin as a shield.He was going to use the name of this noble young master to suppress the opponent.
In this way, the dispute between the two sides became more and more intense, and the echo of insults echoed repeatedly in the cave.
There is a big one, ready to do it.
……
at the same time.
"Little Linna, they are in trouble. Are you going to help our allies?" Looking at the accident that broke out not far away, the elderly Professor Ang Luo touched his beard with great interest. inquiring.
"This... I don't know either.
But, if they fight, I will stop it!After all, the current situation does not allow us to continue internal friction..."
"Hehe! Your judgment is good. At this moment, it is really not suitable for internal friction!
However, I am becoming more and more interested in that little boy.When you just came down, you also calculated it, right?There is a deep hole on it, not too much, about 45 meters.
Aren't you curious, how did that boy know? "
"I'm not curious..." The female knight Elena shifted her gaze slightly, and replied somewhat against her will.
"Hahaha! Then let us wait and see how this young boy will respond. If a conflict breaks out, it won't be too late for you to stop it..."
In this way, seeing that the adventurers of the mercenary group were about to clash with the guards, the Imperial Knights still stood still and continued to pay attention to the situation.
On the other side of the Wuhun Palace, naturally, they also held the same purpose of watching a show and remained motionless.
It was the temple deacon, Soul King Mo Duo, who secretly held the sword hilt.
Be prepared, if someone just makes an impulsive move, he will be violent to that honorable 'adult'.He just killed that guy directly, and must not let that 'adult' get hurt!
……
"Damn it, I said it all, don't care about our business.
Your people, your own strength is not enough, and you can't run slowly, and you can't survive. You still have the face to get angry with us? "
"Fart, if you weren't greedy for life and afraid of death, how could my brother die?
I want to kill you! "
"Come on, who is afraid of whom! Our guards are not vegetarian!"
……
After a few words, the people on both sides became more and more furious, and their eyes seemed to be able to spew fire.
Immediately, they all prepared to make a move to teach the other party a good lesson.
However, the next moment.
Just one second before the conflict was about to break out.
"Stop arguing! Do you know where this is? Still arguing here, do you want to die? Are you ashamed?"
Suddenly, the bald man, Captain Barrett, roared.Shocked the several adventurers on our side, and stopped their disputes and actions.
"Boss! But, without them, how could so many of us die!
I don't agree! "The male adventurer also straightened his back and roared, his eyes were blood red, obviously full of anger in his heart.
"Back off! I'll talk to this young master!"
Hearing this, several adventurers looked at each other and agreed with the proposal.After all, after so many years.Their head and boss have never treated them badly.
This time, I believe the boss will not disappoint everyone.
As he said that, the bald leader Barrett walked straight towards the boy, ready to negotiate with him.
"Hello, my lord Barrett, the head of the [Warhammer Mercenaries], I just met him
Excuse me, this young master Yu, can we have a chat? "
"Yes. I just want to chat with you too." Tianlin smiled and responded calmly, without deliberately pretending to be arrogant.
After all, having already reached this kind of place, there is no need to continue playing the role of a noble playboy.
"I'm sorry, due to the accident that just happened. We lost many brothers, and the team members are a little excited. This is why I'm speaking viciously. I hope you can understand!"
"I can understand, it was indeed extremely dangerous just now.
Also, Commander Barrett, if you have anything to say, just speak up!Our situation is not ideal and I don't want to waste any more time on pointless conversations. "
"Okay, then I'll be straight!
I know that Young Master Yu's status is extraordinary, we can't afford to provoke him!But, after all, many of our brothers died because of this, and I always have to give them an explanation.
I don't want Young Master Yu to punish your guards personally.I just hope that you can give us a fair chance to deal with this matter!Let my team members feel at ease.
Maybe my request will annoy you, but please forgive me! "
The bald head looked straight at the young man in front of him, without the slightest fear in his eyes, and he looked like a tough guy.
Hearing this, after these few conversations, Tian Lin also had a little more affection for this straightforward and sincere bald head.
After all, it is rare to see such an upright leader who has principles, is considerate of the members, and is willing to stand up for the members!
Ever since: "Okay, I agree with you!"
"You agreed?" Barrett was pleasantly surprised, with a look of disbelief.
"Actually, I don't have much to do with the guards behind me. His behavior has nothing to do with me, and you don't need to ask my opinion on what you want to do.
Only, I hope.All of this can be settled after we leave here.
after all.Right now, our goal is to find out the truth and get out of here! "
Hearing this young master Yu's proposal, Barrett's eyes flashed with brilliance.I just feel that the current performance of this noble young master is completely different from the dandy and arrogant appearance that was realized before.Amazing.
But, in short, he still achieved his goal.
"Okay, I promise! Thank you, young master!"
However, the bald head had just finished speaking.
……
Another exclamation suddenly interrupted their conversation.
"There is a problem! My soul power is suddenly out of use!" A loud roar immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Hearing this, everyone began to check their bodies one after another.
In a short while, Tianlin and the others also discovered another huge problem
He, their soul power, can't be used anymore!
This place seems to have an inexplicable powerful force that binds their soul power in their bodies, making them unable to mobilize at all...
"Sister Li, your soul power?"
"Suppressed, although it is still there, but it can't be mobilized! The martial soul can't be released! What's going on?" Yali also frowned instantly.
After all, if she couldn't use her soul power, she wouldn't be able to use it at all with a strength comparable to that of a soul saint!
In that case, except that she is physically stronger, she is no different from ordinary people!
At the same time, after getting sister Li's response.
Tian Lin also realized that here, in this dark cave, there is not even a trace of soul power...
All the soul power seemed to be emptied!
Here, absolutely not normal...
It's as if it's a desperate place for soul masters and soul power!
At the same moment, everyone present felt this anomaly, and were immediately astonished beyond measure.
All of them, except this Princess Xueyin, are soul masters.
All strength is based on soul power.If you can't use your soul power, your strength will naturally be weakened to the point where it cannot be increased.
Moreover, what's more, it is in this mysterious cave with unknown depth and danger.
It was as if, when an ordinary person faced a hungry wolf, he found that the only weapon in his hand, the knife, was useless...
Everyone, naturally fell into a deep fear!
Immediately, a new commotion spread among the crowd...
(End of this chapter)
At this moment, in this mine, nearly a hundred people from this joint team are searching everywhere.Trying to find some valuable clues here.
However, compared to the elite Imperial Knights and Templar Knights, these adventurers from the [Warhammer Mercenary Corps] and dozens of guards from the [Guard Corps] in Soto City searched harder...
However, they are working hard to find valuable minerals, so that they can be taken out and sold for money...
At this moment, a female adventurer took out a small piece of silver ore from a gap in a mine cart, and excitedly exclaimed to the man next to her:
"Honey, take a look! I found a good thing!"
"This is... Mithril rough! Did those miners miss it here?
Hahaha, not bad!Such a small piece should be worth several gold soul coins.We earned it, we earned it! Beside her, the male adventurer also said happily.
At the same time, the male adventurer added: "That's right! We did not make a mistake on this trip. The head of the team really thought of us the most. This mission is indeed worthwhile!
Moreover, according to the leader, the entrustment reward this time is not low.
Wait, when it's over.I can also save enough money.Marry you home! "
"Damn it! You're coaxing people there again! I don't even look where this is..." The female adventurer couldn't help but blush a little. Although she cursed, her heart was full of sweetness.
Obviously, have been looking forward to this day for a long time...
"What does it matter? Anyway, we will soon be a family... What does it matter if others hear it..." The adventurer man laughed and joked boldly.I am quite happy...
"Okay! Stop joking, let's talk after this mission is over.
This time, in addition to our group, there are also many important figures here.Just before entering the mine, the head of the group told us to be a little more careful in our actions..." This girl blushed and shyly shyly.
"Hee hee, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Let's be quiet!" The man persevered in his temptation.
only.
The next moment, just these two people are in love, when you come and go.
A sharp cry of misery instantly startled the two of them.
I saw that the front of the two of them was not far away.A guard who was still lying on the entrance of a mine just now, holding a piece of red jade on the stone wall.
But his whole body froze, and then he was paralyzed on the ground, and began to twitch crazily.
The cry of pain came from his mouth!
"Honey, what, what is that? It's disgusting!" the female adventurer Daisy exclaimed immediately.
On the chest of the fallen guard, an extremely disgusting and strange insect was lying on it, devouring the corpse below.
However, this Zerg was as long as half a person, covered with a layer of earth-colored armor, with eight pairs of sharp long legs underneath, and the overall shape was like a centipede.
However, its size is more than ten times larger than a normal centipede!Moreover, the monster's mouthparts are even more frightening, round in shape, covered with dozens of tiny sharp teeth, and can even grow bigger than itself.
Just one glance is enough to make your scalp tingle...
"I, I don't know either. It must be some kind of soul beast!
It's attacking the guard, right?Quick, try to attack it first! "The male adventurer Myron was also frightened, his eyes widened in shock.
After all, he doesn't even know this kind of strange and terrifying monster!
However, he is also a senior adventurer anyway.By the way, he suppressed his distracting thoughts, released his martial soul, and launched an attack.
"brush--"
A silver longbow appeared in his hand, it was really his martial spirit [Silver Moon Inlaid Bow].
Then, the long arrow of soul power was condensed by it, aimed at the monster, directly drew the bow and shot it out.
The arrow of soul power arrived in an instant, as if it could hit the monster in the next moment.
However, this monster was extremely fast, after sensing the danger.He dodged it in an instant, jumped off the corpse, burrowed directly into the rocky ground below, and dodged the arrow...
Then, all I could see was that the rocky ground in front of the two of them was rising rapidly, and they were rushing towards them.
"Damn it, this thing wants to sneak up and attack us!" The male adventurer roared angrily, but didn't hold back...
"The third soul skill [Lifting Arrow]"
I saw bows and arrows like a full moon, and arrows like shooting stars.
In an instant, three mighty arrows shot out in an instant, straightly hitting the small raised bump on the ground in front of him.
The soul power exploded, directly breaking the piece of earth and rock.
However, the monster in the soil was also hit by the attack... It was directly blasted out of the soil and rocks, broke into two pieces, and continued to struggle on the ground.
However, no matter how you look at it, you can't survive.
"Phew... it scared me.
I thought it was so ferocious, but it doesn’t look like it’s all right... A soul skill killed it..." Looking at the corpse of the monster on the ground, such a male adventurer let out a long breath and turned to face his lover beside him. With emotion, while being proud.
Anyway, he is also a level 33 soul master, so he still has some strength.
However, the next moment, the smile on his lover's face froze.
"Myron, look..." Daisy stretched out her fingers tremblingly, pointing forward.
The male adventurer Myron looked back.
All of a sudden, in the mine ahead, something exactly the same as the monster just now was gushing out crazily.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of them came out.
Moreover, in other mines on the surrounding rock walls, this kind of monsters also began to appear crazily, densely packed, countless...
He was stalking, and rushed towards other people around him...
"Damn! Go, go back!" The male adventurer's face darkened, and the alarm bells rang in his heart.
He didn't dare to stay for a moment, he just pulled his lover beside him and ran towards his head, not daring to stay for a moment...
……
With the screams one after another, it is obvious that many people have already lost their lives in the mouths of those monsters.
The entire central mine fell into chaos.
And the adventurer lovers also quickly came to the black hole, found their leader Barrett, and reported with lingering fear.
"Myron, Daisy, what's wrong? What happened?" Barrett asked seriously.
"We were attacked by a monster, terrible, and in great numbers! …"
"Monster? What kind of monster can there be here? What does it look like? Tell me!"
"They look similar to centipedes, but there are obvious differences..."
Listening to Myron's description, the group leader also frowned. He had never heard of this kind of monster!
At this moment, Professor Ang Luo at the side recognized it.
Quickly explained: "It's 'Arthropod'! A very special kind of spirit beast that grows in underground caves rich in ore. Their mouthparts are extremely developed, they feed on grinding ore, and they like to move in groups.
Uncommon in mineral veins.But once you meet them, it will be a nightmare for all miners!
Twenty years ago, this kind of spirit beast was also found in the first hematite mine on the northern plain.
For this reason, the empire also dispatched thousands of elite knights to strangle them.But in the end nothing happened.The mine had to be closed...
It can be seen that these strange insects are terrifying! "
"Arthropods? There are such strange insects? Thousands of elite knights can't be eradicated?" the female knight Eileen exclaimed.
"Well! It's true, and, it seems.
There are far more of this kind of strange insects here than in that mine.Just relying on the people here, I'm afraid it's unstoppable! "Hearing the screams one after another, Professor Ang Luo became more and more serious.
Directly pointed out the crisis of the status quo.
As long as there are enough of these monsters, even soul emperors and soul saints can grind them to death!
"Then, professor, what should we do? Are we going to break out?" The female knight did not exclaim, but asked calmly, showing a strong psychological quality!
"Everyone, quickly call everyone over, quickly build a defensive circle, and block these monsters out first!
Otherwise, once it is overwhelmed by the swarm of insects.We are all doomed! "
Hearing this, everyone immediately followed suit.
The imperial knights, Wuhun Hall, mercenary group and Tianlin's guards were all called back immediately to form a defensive line.
And they released their martial souls one after another, releasing various attacks.
Block those numerous monsters from outside the line of defense to buy time.
……
In the distance, there are so many terrifying monsters rolling in the sky, just looking at it makes one's scalp tingle.
These 'Arthropods', although their individual abilities are not strong, are ranked at the bottom among many soul beasts.
But I can't stand the large number!
'As the saying goes, ants kill elephants more often', what's more, the bite force of these 'arthropods' is much stronger than that of ordinary ants, and those hard ores can grind them into powder.Not to mention the flesh and blood of the human body?
Obviously, if there is a strong resistance, there will be absolutely no good end.
"Sister Li, are you sure?" Tian Lin looked ahead with a serious expression.
"No! There are too many... Unless the strength is fully utilized, it is still possible to fight out..." Yali replied seriously.Apparently, these fearsome 'arthropods' were not underestimated
Hearing this, Tianlin also frowned slightly.
It would be a shame to be forced to leave like this!
So, after a short pause, he made a decision.
"Sister Li, let's go. Let's go straight down here. Let's take a look at what's down here... If it's really not good, then break out with a burst of strength..."
"Okay!" Yali nodded and agreed.
"By the way, Sister Li, without a rope, at a height of nearly 50 meters, are you sure you can land safely?"
"I can't trouble myself at this height! Hurry up, Xiaolin, hold Sister Xueyin! Let's go down..."
"hug?"
Tianlin paused for a moment, but saw the densely packed soul beasts "arthropods" around his side, as if they were coming from the black tide.He also immediately strengthened his determination.
Immediately hugged the silver-haired princess next to her, "I'm sorry, Your Highness!"
Then, Yali also grabbed Tianlin's skirt, and released her martial spirit, and opened the jade umbrella.
Then he took the two of them and jumped into the black hole in front of him...
Naturally, Tianlin's swift action also stunned the other groups of people.
They, why did they go straight down?
Are you not afraid of any greater dangers down here?
It's just that he looked at the strange insects that rushed towards him like a tide.It seems that they have no other way out...
As a result, Wuhundian also took action immediately.
As the soul sect, Xie Yue didn't hesitate, and directly swung her Wuhun Moonblade, inserting it into the rock wall of the black hole again and again, and with superb skills, steadily and gradually slid down...
And his younger sister, the saintess Hu Liena, seemed even more extraordinary, jumping directly into the black hole in front of her, probably having some kind of magical means of forced landing.
And the remaining temple deacon Mo Duo, as well as several other templar knights, also drew their weapons one after another.
Inserted into the stone wall, using the same method as Xie Yue, to go down...
……
At the same time, looking at that nasty dandy boy, he jumped directly without hesitation. On the side of the Imperial Knights, the female knight Elena couldn't believe it...
Is that hateful dude so courageous?
"Professor, what shall we do? Go down too?"
"Okay, let's go down too. We can't break out of the encirclement alone.
Instead of staying here.It's better to go down and look for a chance! "
"it is good!"
After the decision was made, the Imperial Knights also took action.
They were all fully equipped, and besides standard long swords, they also brought bows and arrows.
At this moment, under the instruction of the female knight captain, arrows were quickly shot out one after another, and were inserted into the rock wall of the black hole.
In a short while, an arrow 'long ladder' was created.
Then, he immediately escorted Professor Ang Luo, and climbed down the black hole along the "ladder".
……
As for the adventurers [Warhammer Mercenaries], they seemed a little more stable.
"Boss, shall we go down?"
"Next!" The head of the group, Barrett, gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Quick, take out all the hemp ropes we're carrying, splice them all together, and let's go down with the ropes!"
"Then, boss, how long is the rope? All our ropes are not enough to connect 100 meters! Who knows how deep this hole is! What if it's not long enough..."
"Give me two! Two 45-meter-long ones! Fix the rope to the edge of the hole!" Barrett recalled the boy's words, once again became cruel, and immediately made a decision.
"it is good!"
Several adventurers from the mercenary group immediately spliced the ropes on their bodies.
They have been exploring outside all year round and carrying out commissions, so they naturally carry all kinds of equipment, of course hemp rope and the like are indispensable.
At this point, after splicing together the few pieces of twine that are available, they are secured to the edge of the hole.Then, the remaining mercenaries slid down the rope one after another and entered the black hole.
……
Compared with the other three parties, the soldiers of these guard regiments appeared to be in a panic.
Several guards, still extremely stupid, drove their martial souls, trying to rush through the swarm of insects and escape from the main mine!
As a result, naturally, within a few steps, he was directly overwhelmed by the swarm of insects, and was devoured until there was no flesh left...
And the remaining nearly twenty guards were also scared to death.
They are used to being domineering in Suotuo City, and it is easy for them to bully ordinary people in the city.But when confronted with this kind of thoughtless and extremely crazy monster, they all became shrinking turtles.
Even unwilling to hold the line of defense, but hastily sought escape.
However, after seeing that other people 'showed their abilities' one after another, they jumped into that black hole.
The rest of the guards, of course, quickly jumped towards the black hole, in order to survive...
All of a sudden, the central mine became even more chaotic, with blood splattered everywhere, and people were constantly being devoured by those terrifying swarms...
...
The collapsed cave is very deep and dark, and it seems that it is really impossible to see the bottom.
At this moment, Yali was dragging Tianlin, Tianlin was holding Xueyin, and the three of them descended slowly with the help of the glazed jade umbrella.
After falling slowly for more than ten seconds, the three of them finally landed at the bottom of the deep cave.
The bottom of the cave is very dark, and you can't see your fingers, which makes people panic subconsciously.
"Xiaolin, sister Xueyin. Are you all okay?"
"It's okay, Sister Li, I'm fine!"
Then, Tianlin felt that his right hand was grabbed by a pair of delicate speaking hands, and three words were written on it.
【I'm fine】
Obviously, this is Xueyin responding to him.
"His Royal Highness Xueyin is fine!"
As he said that, Tianlin immediately took out several fluorescent stones from his storage wristband, and threw them around to lighten up the surroundings a little.
At this moment, the deep hole above the head, other people also fell down one after another.
"Hey, handsome boys, you are quite courageous! You jumped down first, aren't you afraid of the danger below?" The saint Hu Liena, who was gently falling, looked around.
He stopped his gaze on the three of Tianlin and began to tease curiously.
In her opinion, those noble children are more timid than the other, and there are very few of them who have the courage to jump directly.This handsome guy is getting more and more interesting, isn't he?
"Hmph! What's none of your business?" Hearing this, before Tianlin could speak, Yali immediately turned back...
"This little sister! No one has taught you, girls, it's better not to get angry casually? If you are so fierce, no one will like you in the future!" Hu Liena squinted her eyes and continued to joke with a smile.
"You are the little sister! Your whole family is a little sister!" Ya Lidang was furious.If she revealed her identity, she wouldn't dare to resist if she just pressed this 'little fox' on the ground and spanked her...
I haven't seen her for a few years. I never thought that the little girl who was circling around me, crying and crying for candy.
At this moment, I dare to tease myself, so 'arrogant'!
It's simply rebellion!
……
However, just as this side was about to tear it apart, other people also landed in the deep hole above.
And the people who came down, began to survey the surroundings, and at the same time began to be vigilant above, fearing that those terrible monsters would also pour in from the top of the cave and attack them again...
However, what they waited for was indeed several bodies of guards who fell to death because they jumped off in a hurry and were not ready to land.
To the embarrassment of others...
Then, in just three or four minutes, all the remaining people fell from the deep cave and gathered in the dark cave.
Compared with the large team of nearly a hundred people at the beginning.
At this moment, less than half of the people successfully escaped from the mouths of those strange insects and landed below.
To be precise, adding up, there are only individuals in their early 40s.
It can be seen how tragic the battle just now was.
If they hesitated for a moment, they were afraid that the entire army would be wiped out!
"Professor, it seems that those strange insects didn't chase after them!" The female knight Elena pressed the giant sword on her waist, stared at the cave above, and was ready to fight at any time.
"Huh—" Professor Ang Luo took a long breath, and said happily: "This kind of 'arthropod' has a strong desire to control its territory, and is naturally extremely vigilant about unknown areas.
This collapsed cave is most likely an area that these strange insects have never touched.
So, I didn't catch up! "
"I see! This professor seems to know these strange insects very well?" The saint Hu Liena at the side also praised.In this case, having a knowledgeable professor is naturally the last thing to do.
"His Royal Highness praised you. The old man just lived a little longer and saw a little more. Compared with His Royal Highness, it is not worth mentioning." Professor Ang Luo responded lightly.
Although he is afraid of the strength of Wuhundian, in this kind of place, he doesn't believe that Her Majesty the Holy Maiden will suddenly turn against her.Unless, she is out of her mind...
Therefore, after politely responding.The professor, however, paid more attention to the little brown-haired boy not far away.
……
And right here, they are still discussing about those strange insects.
Next to them, a not-so-small dispute suddenly broke out.
And the main object of the dispute is Tianlin!
"I'm going to kill you! You bastards, you cowards! I'm going to kill you!" An adventurer man, holding a big sword in his hand, was looking at Tianlin with a ferocious face, and the only one next to Tianlin The few remaining guards roared.
Just now, in the central mine, they had obviously formed a defensive line, defending against those strange insects.
If their forces from all directions work together, not to mention defeating those monsters, it is still possible to resist for a while.
However, these guards, who were greedy for life and fear of death, gave up their defense immediately and fled in a panic.Even the entire defense line collapsed in an instant, allowing those ferocious monsters to enter the defense line.
However, the mercenary's younger brother and two comrades-in-arms were all devoured by those strange insects just now!
Obviously.
If these guards can resist a little bit, or if they don't flee at the beginning, causing the line of defense to be broken.
His younger brother and comrades in arms will not die!
He naturally wanted to vent his anger.So, he took other teammates and came to settle accounts with these guards.
At the same time, as the leader of these guards, this "little nobleman" Tianlin naturally became the target of these angry adventurers.
The remaining Imperial Knights and Templar Knights not far away also lost many teammates just now.
Naturally, they glared at Tianlin one after another, full of hostility towards those "cowardly as a mouse" guards and Tianlin and others.
For a while, all the survivors subconsciously isolated Tian Lin and the others.
Prepare to be held accountable!
"Young master, don't blame me! Those monsters are too scary!
Me, we can't control our feet subconsciously!Normal people would run away..." A guard brazenly argued. He even forced out a little tear, showing a very pitiful look.
But in the eyes of Tianlin and others, it was so disgusting.
Originally, Tianlin didn't have any good impressions of these guards who could only 'follow others' and 'grow their hearts with profit'.Now, I just feel a little more disgusted.
Indeed, when faced with such strange insects, everyone would be afraid.
But, what is really infuriating.It was these guards who clearly occupied one side at the beginning and formed a line of defense.But it collapsed in the first place, leaving a gap in the line of defense.
Even if they refused at the beginning and let others fill the gap, it would be better than this kind of 'fleeing' behavior!
Therefore, this caused such a great loss.
The rest, of course, could not help being hostile to these guards, and even poured their anger on them for losing their teammates.By the way, the three of Tianlin were also resentful.
Of course, Tianlin also remembered the adventurer who was the first to accuse them and pointed the finger at him just now.
After a while, I will look for opportunities to let him experience the 'thrill' of 'shooting the top bird'.
……
"It's all their fault! They must be redeemed! If it weren't for them, our brother would never have died!"
"It's them. Kill them. This kind of shameless person who is greedy for life and fears death is not worthy of the word guard at all. Maybe they are fake!"
"Shit, you are spitting blood!
We are all members of the regular Soto City [Guard Regiment].I think you adventurers are all sly-eyed.Maybe it's the criminal that the Kingdom is hunting down! "
Facing the accusation, these guards also glared and refuted.They didn't realize their mistake at all.
He even used Tianlin as a shield.He was going to use the name of this noble young master to suppress the opponent.
In this way, the dispute between the two sides became more and more intense, and the echo of insults echoed repeatedly in the cave.
There is a big one, ready to do it.
……
at the same time.
"Little Linna, they are in trouble. Are you going to help our allies?" Looking at the accident that broke out not far away, the elderly Professor Ang Luo touched his beard with great interest. inquiring.
"This... I don't know either.
But, if they fight, I will stop it!After all, the current situation does not allow us to continue internal friction..."
"Hehe! Your judgment is good. At this moment, it is really not suitable for internal friction!
However, I am becoming more and more interested in that little boy.When you just came down, you also calculated it, right?There is a deep hole on it, not too much, about 45 meters.
Aren't you curious, how did that boy know? "
"I'm not curious..." The female knight Elena shifted her gaze slightly, and replied somewhat against her will.
"Hahaha! Then let us wait and see how this young boy will respond. If a conflict breaks out, it won't be too late for you to stop it..."
In this way, seeing that the adventurers of the mercenary group were about to clash with the guards, the Imperial Knights still stood still and continued to pay attention to the situation.
On the other side of the Wuhun Palace, naturally, they also held the same purpose of watching a show and remained motionless.
It was the temple deacon, Soul King Mo Duo, who secretly held the sword hilt.
Be prepared, if someone just makes an impulsive move, he will be violent to that honorable 'adult'.He just killed that guy directly, and must not let that 'adult' get hurt!
……
"Damn it, I said it all, don't care about our business.
Your people, your own strength is not enough, and you can't run slowly, and you can't survive. You still have the face to get angry with us? "
"Fart, if you weren't greedy for life and afraid of death, how could my brother die?
I want to kill you! "
"Come on, who is afraid of whom! Our guards are not vegetarian!"
……
After a few words, the people on both sides became more and more furious, and their eyes seemed to be able to spew fire.
Immediately, they all prepared to make a move to teach the other party a good lesson.
However, the next moment.
Just one second before the conflict was about to break out.
"Stop arguing! Do you know where this is? Still arguing here, do you want to die? Are you ashamed?"
Suddenly, the bald man, Captain Barrett, roared.Shocked the several adventurers on our side, and stopped their disputes and actions.
"Boss! But, without them, how could so many of us die!
I don't agree! "The male adventurer also straightened his back and roared, his eyes were blood red, obviously full of anger in his heart.
"Back off! I'll talk to this young master!"
Hearing this, several adventurers looked at each other and agreed with the proposal.After all, after so many years.Their head and boss have never treated them badly.
This time, I believe the boss will not disappoint everyone.
As he said that, the bald leader Barrett walked straight towards the boy, ready to negotiate with him.
"Hello, my lord Barrett, the head of the [Warhammer Mercenaries], I just met him
Excuse me, this young master Yu, can we have a chat? "
"Yes. I just want to chat with you too." Tianlin smiled and responded calmly, without deliberately pretending to be arrogant.
After all, having already reached this kind of place, there is no need to continue playing the role of a noble playboy.
"I'm sorry, due to the accident that just happened. We lost many brothers, and the team members are a little excited. This is why I'm speaking viciously. I hope you can understand!"
"I can understand, it was indeed extremely dangerous just now.
Also, Commander Barrett, if you have anything to say, just speak up!Our situation is not ideal and I don't want to waste any more time on pointless conversations. "
"Okay, then I'll be straight!
I know that Young Master Yu's status is extraordinary, we can't afford to provoke him!But, after all, many of our brothers died because of this, and I always have to give them an explanation.
I don't want Young Master Yu to punish your guards personally.I just hope that you can give us a fair chance to deal with this matter!Let my team members feel at ease.
Maybe my request will annoy you, but please forgive me! "
The bald head looked straight at the young man in front of him, without the slightest fear in his eyes, and he looked like a tough guy.
Hearing this, after these few conversations, Tian Lin also had a little more affection for this straightforward and sincere bald head.
After all, it is rare to see such an upright leader who has principles, is considerate of the members, and is willing to stand up for the members!
Ever since: "Okay, I agree with you!"
"You agreed?" Barrett was pleasantly surprised, with a look of disbelief.
"Actually, I don't have much to do with the guards behind me. His behavior has nothing to do with me, and you don't need to ask my opinion on what you want to do.
Only, I hope.All of this can be settled after we leave here.
after all.Right now, our goal is to find out the truth and get out of here! "
Hearing this young master Yu's proposal, Barrett's eyes flashed with brilliance.I just feel that the current performance of this noble young master is completely different from the dandy and arrogant appearance that was realized before.Amazing.
But, in short, he still achieved his goal.
"Okay, I promise! Thank you, young master!"
However, the bald head had just finished speaking.
……
Another exclamation suddenly interrupted their conversation.
"There is a problem! My soul power is suddenly out of use!" A loud roar immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Hearing this, everyone began to check their bodies one after another.
In a short while, Tianlin and the others also discovered another huge problem
He, their soul power, can't be used anymore!
This place seems to have an inexplicable powerful force that binds their soul power in their bodies, making them unable to mobilize at all...
"Sister Li, your soul power?"
"Suppressed, although it is still there, but it can't be mobilized! The martial soul can't be released! What's going on?" Yali also frowned instantly.
After all, if she couldn't use her soul power, she wouldn't be able to use it at all with a strength comparable to that of a soul saint!
In that case, except that she is physically stronger, she is no different from ordinary people!
At the same time, after getting sister Li's response.
Tian Lin also realized that here, in this dark cave, there is not even a trace of soul power...
All the soul power seemed to be emptied!
Here, absolutely not normal...
It's as if it's a desperate place for soul masters and soul power!
At the same moment, everyone present felt this anomaly, and were immediately astonished beyond measure.
All of them, except this Princess Xueyin, are soul masters.
All strength is based on soul power.If you can't use your soul power, your strength will naturally be weakened to the point where it cannot be increased.
Moreover, what's more, it is in this mysterious cave with unknown depth and danger.
It was as if, when an ordinary person faced a hungry wolf, he found that the only weapon in his hand, the knife, was useless...
Everyone, naturally fell into a deep fear!
Immediately, a new commotion spread among the crowd...
