"Boom. ”

There was a loud bang in the dark cavern, and then an orange-red pillar of fire erupted from the cavern and soared into the sky.

"Roaring ......"

The terrible roar of the beast echoed through the cavern, and within a few seconds, the sound was annihilated in the pillar of fire that rose into the sky.

Once the resin of the Spirit Oil Tree is ignited by fire, it will never be extinguished unless it is burned out.

"Go on, don't let the fire go out. Wu Xinhua saw that the fire in the cave was gradually getting smaller, and knew that the resin of the oil tree was about to burn out, so he immediately issued a third order.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The investigators threw the remaining porcelain bottles, containing the resin of the oil tree, into the cavern that burned with flames.

Flames rise, turning the dark caverns into a scorching purgatory, incinerating all living things.

"With such a big fire, it shouldn't be possible for those rat lizards to come out. One of the investigators looked at the rising flames and said to his companions.

"Xue Liqing can't come out. Another investigator whispered.

"......" The crowd fell silent.

"Bang. ”

The silence of the investigators was broken by a sudden noise, and they immediately turned their heads to look at the location where the voice was coming from behind them.

I saw that the ground not far behind them had cracked, and a long head that looked like a mouse on the blue star emerged from the cracked ground.

"Damn, these rats and lizards know how to dig tunnels to come out of other places...... one investigator exclaimed.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom......"

There were more and more cracks in the ground, and the faces of the investigators became more and more ugly.

"Everybody follow me, and kill as many as you can while they are not all out yet. After Wu Xinhua, who had a solemn face, finished speaking, he took the lead in rushing towards the rat lizard that was crawling out of the ground not far away.

More than 30 investigators of the "...... killing" followed closely behind Wu Xinhua.

"Roaring ......"

"Poof. ”

A rat lizard that was struggling in the ground, its upper body having just emerged from the ground, was pierced through the brain by a long sword with a pale golden light.

The blow was fatal, and Wu Xinhua, who had killed the mouse lizard, immediately went to the next position.

"Poof, poof, poof......"

After the investigators killed forty or fifty rat lizards in a row, the rat lizards that burrowed into the ground also learned to be smart.

When they see an enemy approaching them, they immediately shrink into the ground to avoid the attack, and when the enemy leaves, they continue to burrow out.

For a while, a game similar to whack-a-mole in the game hall was staged at the scene.

Two, five, ten...... More and more rat lizards are emerging from the ground.

Although the strength of the rat lizard that had just broken out of its shell could only be compared to that of a first-order high-level or first-order peak strength, the gap between the two sides was still quite large when facing an investigator with at least the strength of the second-order mid-rank.

However, they were outnumbered, and hundreds or thousands of them gathered together, and the continuous offensive made the investigators more and more powerless.

In less than 20 minutes, more than 30 investigators suffered some injuries, a few of them were so serious that they could have collapsed at any time without the support of their companions.

surrounded......

"Roaring ......"

The rat lizards, which surrounded the investigators, roared at the prey that was about to reach their mouths...... They seem to be debating how to distribute the food.

"Wu Xinhua, let's hold them for at least 15 minutes!" a pale investigator who had bitten off one of his left arms laughed at the corners of his mouth.

"Well, we've bought so much time, and those who remain inside the mine should have managed to get away. Wu Xinhua responded.

"Whew...... Whew......" An investigator with a large piece of flesh on his face said, panting, "These damn guys are surrounding us, why don't you continue to attack, aren't they discussing how to eat us!"

"It's possible. Someone responded.

The investigators were back to back, clenching their weapons in their hands, and staring sharply at the rats and lizards that surrounded them.

Time flies so slowly......

Although the rat lizard had only besieged the investigators for less than three minutes, it gave the impression that a day had passed.

"Roaring ......"

The horn sounded to open the meal, and with this beastly roar, the rat lizards surrounding the investigators launched a general attack.

"Kill, fight with them......" Wu Xinhua yelled.

The final battle is about to break out.

At this time, just as the investigators, who were wounded and had little psionic energy and physical strength left, were preparing to fight the mouse lizard to the death.

Three figures descended from the sky and smashed into the group of rats and lizards that were attacking Wu Xinhua and the other investigators......

"Reinforcements, are they reinforcements!! are the people sent by the station to rescue us......" The investigators, who were preparing to fight to the death with the rat lizard, were stunned at first when they saw those figures falling from the sky, and then their faces showed ecstasy.

After landing on the ground, the three of them controlled their strength for the first time, and after their bodies stabilized, they immediately showed their magical powers and launched devastating attacks on those who hurt their companions.

One person activated the ability, and the body burst out with a ring of electric light, circle after circle, enveloping the entire body with a thick layer of plasma, and the whole person was like a huge ball lightning.

He tossed and turned among the swarms of rat lizards, kicking and punching, each blow cleanly taking out at least one rat lizard

Not far away, a small group of rats and lizards circled around in a roundabout way, trying to get past these formidable foes that had descended from the sky and attack the wounded prey behind them.

But in the next second, a nameless wind suddenly struck, and this wind was still glowing, with strong pressure, stirring them in the air spiral.

It rotates hundreds of times a second, until it turns into a blurry afterimage.

"Roar, roar, roar......!" the mouse lizard screamed in pain as it was swept away by the nameless wind, but its voice was pulled into a strange audio by an inexplicable force field.

In the nameless wind, the rat lizards are being subjected to a storm of intense pressure.

The third-order pinnacle investigator who used the ability stood still, and the sky was heavily overcast, and countless air currents were converging in one direction.

The skeletal muscles of the engulfed rats were crushed by the terrifying air pressure, and finally they were blown away by a hurricane and crashed into a distant hill.

"Boom!"

The rocks shattered, splashed countless debris and dust, and then were swept up into the sky by a wave of wind and waves!

The rat lizards that were about to make a roundabout way turned into a mass of flesh without any breath of life under the attack of this ability.

In another place, a loud explosion rang out.

"Boom!"

A body with golden light, with a rough and unreasonable attitude, jumped up dozens of meters, and slammed into the ground, the earth trembled violently, and the shock wave of the explosion shook the internal bleeding of the mouse lizard within a radius of more than ten meters.

"Bang. ”

As soon as he stomped his foot, the gravel on the ground flew up, and the investigator, who had the peak strength of the third order, pressed his right hand, and the telekinetic power enveloped the flying fine gravel.

He glanced at the rats and lizards that were culling on both sides and in front of him, and with a wave of his big hand, the sparse stones that were shrouded in the telekinetic power immediately shot out in all directions.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

The heads of the rat lizards that rushed to the front suddenly exploded, their forelimbs slammed off, and fist-sized holes appeared in their chests, and their deaths were different.

The third-order peak, these three reinforcements who fell from the sky turned out to be all powerful cultivators with the strength of the third-order peak.

One third-order peak cultivator was enough for this group of rat lizards to be uncomfortable, let alone three of them at once.

In the face of a powerful enemy of this level, even if there were more than a thousand rat lizards, it was still not enough for those three to fight......

The three reinforcements like tigers entering the flock, the rats and lizards that they killed were all broken and fled in all directions.

Unfortunately, it was too late, and in the woods around the battlefield, more than 200 humans who had been ambushed in advance jumped out of the forest at this time and strangled the rats and lizards who had no intention of fighting again.

These people who were ambushed in the forest and strangled them, except for some people who rushed from the station to rescue, most of them were people who were ready to be transferred from the original mine.

"Kill them, don't let any of them go......," researcher Wang Ziqian shouted to his companions as he swung his sword to decapitate a mouse lizard.

"Roaring ......"

Where would the rat lizards that had just broken out of their shells think that they were about to have a big meal, and in the blink of an eye, they fell into such a desperate situation.

They fled in panic and roared in low voices, trying to use their cries to intimidate their pursuers into not pursuing them any longer.

Ideas are good, but how can humans do what they want?

Everyone has the same idea of this kind of enemy who almost killed their own companions, that is, to kill them all and cut them down.

............

"Roaring ......"

With the last of the lizards killed, the dust settled.

"Stepping on ......"

The medic with a medical kit on his shoulder walked quickly into the field and approached the injured investigator to treat them.

Captain Zhao Hezhao, who had returned to the station on foot with people to ask for help, came to Wu Xinhua while wiping the stains on his face.

"Whew...... Call...... Zhao He, why did it take so long for you to bring the people who rescued us?" Wu Xinhua, who was almost exhausted, asked breathlessly.

"I'm sorry~ we had some trouble on the way back to the station, so we were delayed for a day, if we could have returned to the station a day earlier, you wouldn't have ended up in this situation. Zhao He said very reproachfully.

"It's not your fault either, you don't have to blame yourself too much. Wu Xinhua saw Zhao He's self-reproachful face, and opened his mouth to comfort.

"What about Xue Liqing, why didn't I see him?" Zhao He, who had collected his thoughts, suddenly asked Wu Xinhua.

"......" Wu Xinhua heard this, and the expression on his face froze for a moment.

Then he raised his hand and pointed to the blackened cave that was burned by the fire not far away, and said in a heavy tone, "Xue Liqing is under the cave. ”

"Huh?"

"Before, he took people to the cave to investigate, but something happened, and in order to cover the others, he chose to stay behind the ......"

"This ......" Zhao He showed grief on his face, although Wu Xinhua did not say whether Xue Liqing still had any hope of surviving now, but it was not difficult to see from the other party's heavy face that Xue Liqing should have sacrificed.

"Hey...... Is there anyone up there? Come and grab me......"

Just when Wu Xinhua and Zhao He were grieving for Xue Liqing, who had sacrificed for him, the shouts of human beings came from the blackened cave that was burned by the fire not far away, and this sound was so familiar.

"Stepping on ......"

Wu Xinhua, Zhao He, and some people who were close to the underground cave hurriedly ran towards the underground cave.

After a while, a figure covered in blood, with the help of everyone, struggled to crawl out of the cave.

"Xue Liqing !!" looked at the person who came out of the cave, and the people who knew him shouted in unison.

"Huh" Xue Liqing lay on the ground, looking at everyone's concerned expressions, he joked, "Let me take a good breath ......of fresh air, you don't surround me." ”

Everyone took it seriously and immediately dispersed, making room for Xue Liqing.

"Whew...... ...... Xue Liqing first took a few big breaths of fresh air, then looked at Wu Xinhua and the others, and told them how he escaped death in the cave......

More than half an hour ago, that is, when Xue Liqing and his party were chased by a group of rat lizards that broke out of their shells.

At that time, Xue Liqing, who took the initiative to stay behind to cover Wang Ziqian's departure, first used a spiritual weapon that could create a strong light, causing those light-tired rat lizards to mess up.

Then he stepped forward and slashed, killing several rats and lizards in a row, and when he managed to pull the hatred, he ran towards a branch in the underground passage.

Although Xue Liqing's individual strength far surpassed those rat lizards, he was outnumbered, and he was soon exhausted and forced to a point where there was no way back.

"And then?" Everyone suddenly became a little anxious when they heard Xue Liqing's brief description of the most dangerous place to stop.

Seeing everyone's eagerness, Xue Liqing smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Then...... Then I had no choice but to make one last attempt......"

"What did you try?" Wu Xinhua asked curiously.

"I ......" Xue Liqing hesitated for a moment, and then said, "My girlfriend is a researcher at the Psionic Energy Research Institute, and before I came to the Spirit Realm, she gave me something she had just developed to defend myself. ”

"You can't use that thing on yourself, right!" Wu Xinhua, who was Xue Liqing's deputy, naturally knew what Xue Liqing's girlfriend gave him for self-defense.

"You two don't sell it, hurry up and tell us, what is it that can make Xue Liqing survive in that kind of realm surrounded by beasts. Zhao He said.

"Extremely smelly spray. Xue Liqing said concisely to the curious crowd.

"What? what is that?" the crowd froze.

"It's literal, this should be easy to understand!" Xue Liqing said helplessly.
