Chapter 610: Stalemate
It had been quite a long time since they entered the underground, and they had cultivated some tacit understanding with each other, and everyone was ready for battle in a hurry, retreating to the bend of the passage and preparing to ambush.
Still, they were a little nervous, in this claustrophobic space, it was one thing to fight demonized creatures, and it was another thing to fight human wizards. Most importantly, they don't know anything about the enemy, and it is likely to be a bloody battle.
Melanie asked, 'Mason, do you know which force it is?'
Merlin shook her head: "I don't know, I didn't see anyone, I just saw a dim figure flashing." I guess it was the scout who was walking in front of the other party, and he was shocked back when he suddenly showed my breath. It is very likely that they don't know who we are or how strong we are, so they are still hesitant to come. ”
Everyone was at the corner of the mine and lay in ambush for nearly an hour, but there was no movement outside.
"Could they be gone?" said Melanie, who was a little impatient and wanted to go out and have a look.
Mei Lin frowned slightly, this person's performance was not as calm as the temperament she exuded, she stretched out her hand to stop her weakly: "Senior Sister Melanie, don't go over." ”
Melanie frowned and stared at her suspiciously, "Why?"
Merlin said lightly: "It's a trap there. The other side deliberately left the two corpses and the traces of fierce fighting, inducing us to drill deeper into this passage, and then blocking the exit from behind. As long as they stay out here, they won't be afraid of us escaping. As a result, we had only two options, one was to venture out from behind, which happened to be the ambush they had set up outside. The other is to keep going, venturing out the demonized rock armor beasts, and as soon as they hear the movement, they can immediately kill them from behind. Both of these paths are certain for us. ”
Melanie looked at Merlin in surprise for a moment before asking, "So what are we going to do?"
Merlin groaned, not answering immediately.
Funan sneered: "Wait, what are you doing! It's up to who can't hold it down first and is in a hurry to do it." Don't worry, let's do a few small ambushes in front and see if we can trap them. ”
The wizards are very good at this, and after Funan finished speaking, he immediately acted, and Reginald saw that Melanie did not object, and immediately stepped forward to help, and after a while, the almost simple trap was successfully arranged, although it was not a killer, but it was able to make the opponent's movements stagnate, and this stagnation time was absolutely fatal.
Seeing this, Mei Lin nodded secretly, although this Funan is poor-mouthed, but there are still means, although they came here to be deliberately induced, but they may not be at an absolute disadvantage, as long as a few of them wait patiently, the first one is in a hurry, but the team outside.
After all, the outside is a passage, and many people may pass through the outside, and it is impossible that only the two teams of them will pass through here. If wizards from other forces pass by here, they will probably fight outside first, which will give them an opportunity to take advantage of. And this kind of thing can only be done in secret...... To do it, it has to be done cleanly, neatly, and without leaving a living mouth.
Merlin held a potion in her hand, and thought to herself, it is difficult to say whether Funan's trap can really be used, as long as she can bind a wizard who broke into the cave first, she can definitely kill him, so that it will become five against four, and there is a numerical difference in the strength of the two sides, and the situation will be in their favor.
After thinking for a moment, Merlin slowly dug a hole in the hard rock of the cave wall of the passage behind her, using the bloodthirsty dagger to hide her figure...... The rock in the underground passage here is very hard, and Merlin used a fossil potion, so she dug it quietly and very quickly, and several other people did the same, but it was just a fossil potion...... Or provided by Merlene.
After that, everyone was silent for a while, and the cave gradually fell silent, and finally there was complete silence. Except for the extremely faint sound of breathing, the sound of small fragments, there was no other movement. This kind of waiting is extremely uncomfortable for worldly people. For wizards, it's a common thing, and it's normal for days or months to experiment at a time.
Until the third day, Melanie, Vernan and others were wondering if the team outside had left, and a figure flashed back from the corner, and seemed to look inside for a moment, but they didn't dare to come in, probably because they were worried about the ambush.
The five of them suddenly became nervous, hiding in the small hole they had dug.
The team outside didn't leave, and had been lurking outside. It's just that this team didn't seem to expect that the team inside didn't come out at all, so they sent someone to investigate again. The flickering shadow looked into the mine, but saw no figure, and retreated.
After a while.
There were some slight footsteps outside, and several figures flashed around the bend in the passage.
Merlin leaned into the hole she had dug in the wall, vigilantly and carefully observing the figure that swayed back and forth at the bend of the passage...... There were seven or eight of them, and it was likely to be nine, and she frowned suddenly, it seemed that this force was not small. If she is alone, it will be easy to run or fight, but the few people behind her, let her kill her, it is really a little unbearable, in the end, she still has a bottom line, and she can't do it by any means.
When those figures flashed, she saw the symbol of a flame cat, and she had not wasted her time at the Ember Academy, which was a family attached to the Ember Academy...... The Perros family. Those people should be the owners of the Peros family in this mission.
Mei Lin was depressed that the two sides had encountered each other so much that it had become the current situation, and she even felt that the heartbeat and breathing of the four people hiding nearby, Melanie, Vernan, and others were intensifying, but she was afraid that something was also wrong, and she was afraid in her heart.
You must know that the first batch of people sent by the Ashen Academy and various affiliated forces are about first-level wizards, and their strength is ...... At least on the surface, the strength is about the same, theoretically speaking, the nine wizards of the Perros family, against the five wizards of the Ash Academy, are nearly twice the number of people, and they are not at the same level of combat power at all.
Even if they used the trap planted in advance to kill a wizard of the Peros family, the other party still had three more than them. The gap in numbers is too great. Even if it was her, it would be difficult for her to quickly eliminate those people without revealing her own strength. And inside is the lair of the demonized rock armor beast, which is in a dilemma.
