Just as the dark curtain under the spiral staircase has disappeared, so has the door of confinement. Viscount Eric led the group out under the dome and up the stone steps again

"Whew~ I've climbed so far, I don't know how many roads there are. ”

The length of this stone staircase is really beyond everyone's imagination, and even Knox, who has the best physique, is already sweating.

"I didn't even get close to the lava like this, and I didn't expect to be forced to sweat by the stone steps. ”

Knox complained unhappily, the heat from the inside out is really not something that fire resistance can stop. If he hadn't been inspired by divine power, it would have been difficult for ordinary fire resistance to achieve "warmth".

"This stone staircase is so long, why didn't I feel this way when I came down. ”

Bourcho, who was the least physically fit, hung at the back of the team, but fortunately his fitness was strengthened to a certain extent, and he barely kept up.

"You're going to get down, and you're going to faint halfway, and if you remember, you're going to have a ghost. ”

Knox rolled his eyes, he was used to Bourcho's mouth, but he couldn't help but want to scold him.

"Hey...... I don't know why I did this when I was building, can't I make it shorter? ”

Bourcho was a little embarrassed, laughed twice, and began to complain about the man who built the stone steps.

Closing his eyes on the side, Viscount Eric slowly opened his eyes, and a ray of green light melted into his left eye.

"Don't fight, save some strength, it's almost to the exit, I feel the change in the air flow not far away. ”

"Lord Viscount, your abilities are not ...... Can you still use it like this?"

Knox was confused for a moment, and after thinking about it, he understood, and immediately changed his words.

"Of course, I don't think you're all capable of being just for fighting, maybe for some other purpose. ”

Viscount Eric smiled, he didn't get this ability out of nothing, but he suddenly thought of the wind and grass, so he wanted to see if he could feel the change in the air current, and it turned out to be true.

At first, he couldn't perceive anything detailed, but he could vaguely feel that his own feelings had changed as he probed the changes in the airflow. This gave him interest, and he tried all the way, and although it took a long time to stop and go, it really made him successful.

Although I can only observe the general changes in the airflow, my perception is still quite keen, and it is not hazy and uncertain.

"It's here!"

Knox, who was walking at the front, raised his foot to step up another step, and suddenly stepped into the air.

I saw Knox raise his right hand, and a faint red light flowed from his arm, converging into the palm of his hand.

"Whew"

A flame condensed in Knox's hand, orange-red light shining through the passage.

"Hey, Captain Knox, now you can make torches. ”

"Well, at least it's a lot easier to use than someone's broken dictionary. ”

Knox shook his hand and struck the flame upwards in his hand, which was firmly attached to the top of the passage. The light was a little dim, but it also freed his right hand, and Knox didn't want to be laughed at as a torch.

However, like torches is secondary. He pressed the flame to his hand to condense, and at first he didn't think it, but after a while it became hot, so he just took advantage of the situation to throw it away, so as not to be laughed at.

Subconsciously, Knox rubbed his hands, just in the eyes of Bourcho. Thinking about Knox's abilities and how he behaved in the face of lava, Bourcho thought of something.

"Captain Knox, are you burning your hands?"

Looking at Bourgeois' smiling face, Knox only felt a little itchy teeth.

"Eh, what is this?"

Alez in the team noticed something unusual and beckoned a few people to look over.

The light is not bright, and what Alletz is referring to is a shadow, which is inconspicuous. Viscount Eric, who was close, crouched down and observed.

"Isn't this the kind of motley mouse?"

Looking at the rat corpse in his hand, Viscount Eric took a look, and the feeling was unexpectedly soft. Pulling out the short knife and slashing, it actually opened a hole, and now it was Eric's turn to be confused.

"It's strange how this rat has become so soft, and it doesn't reflect enough to be stiff after death. The mouse died before, but its skin was still very tough. Have you ever killed a mouse-haired rat here before?"

"Not really, Lord Viscount. ”

"There must be some other monsters, Lord Viscount. ”

After thinking about it, Bourcho expressed his opinion: "It's like the bugs that fell from the hydra, daring to snatch the corpses of rats from Captain Knox's eyes, there may not be anything to go back to hunt these rats." ”

"Fatty, Lord Viscount said, this thing has become weak, and even the fur that is as tough as iron has become a different fur. Besides, if something preys on rats, why is there a complete corpse left here, and there are no signs of biting at all. ”

Bourcho went on to explain: "Don't think like that, think from a transcendent point of view. The rat softening may be the power of a transcendent creature that uses its own special methods to hunt. Furthermore, its ability may be a range, and the rest of it has not been discovered, or it is full. ”

"This ...... Seems to be right, too!"

Knox scratched his head and saw that there was no logical problem with Bourcho's explanation.

"If you do what you say, Bourcho"

Eric held his chin and began to analyze: "If this extraordinary bioavailability ability makes the mouse incapacitated, then its minions may not be sharp, it is likely to be just average, not difficult to deal with." ”

"If its ability is targeted or specific, then it will definitely not be our opponent with a not strong physique, and with the strength of the five of us, there will be no accidents if we take a little guard. ”

"Yes, Lord Viscount. ”

Seeing Viscount Eric analyze for his own interpretation, Bourcho catered cleanly.

"With a little bit of cooperation, we don't have to worry about this kind of thing. ”

"Still. ”

Eric looked at Bourcho with a smile: "You said that Knox fell into ordinary thinking, why didn't you fall into the limitations of extraordinary thinking?"

"Monsters have abilities that can easily take out rats, but that doesn't mean they have to be weak. There are thousands of rats here, and they are still the kind that are not afraid of heaven and earth. Too many of us could suppress him, and a fragile beast couldn't suppress the attacks of thousands of rats. Even if it's an ordinary mouse, a few thousand crazy ones, it can be solved. ”

"Lord Viscount, I was negligent. ”

Bourcho thought about it for a moment, and it was true: "But, Lord Viscount, animals are naturally afraid of something, and it is not impossible that such things really exist. ”

"Herbivores will run away when they smell predators, even highly poisonous insects will not attack humans at the first time, and even mad dogs will only shiver when they encounter lion tigers. Besides, we don't know if there's only one of them, Viscount. ”

"Well, you're right, Bourcho, that a man who thinks things out of his mind is not always able to think things through. What a few people think of may not be perfect, but there are always a few more aspects. ”

Eric was very appreciative of Bourcho's idea, and gave a few more words to Knox, who was walking ahead, and beckoned everyone to walk towards the rat hole.

"Knox, be careful, we need to beware of the monsters lurking in the shadows. ”

"Poof"

"Poof"

There was only the footsteps of everyone in the stone path.

Seeing that he was about to reach the place where the miscellaneous rats lived, his pace couldn't help but slow down.

Knox also condensed a fireball in his hand, threw it diagonally upward, streaked a bright yellow trajectory in the air, and flew far away.

Where the fireball fell, a pile of fragments was faintly visible, like a pile of broken bones.

"This is one of the two who didn't escape. ”

Inexplicably, Knox was a little sad.

Not only him, but several other people were more or less different, after all, they died like this, and they didn't even have a single bone intact. Before he died, he suffered a lot, and he was more painful than the one who drowned in the illusory world.

"Keep walking, we need to get out and close the door, we can't just let them out. ”

Viscount Eric let out a long breath and began to urge the crowd to keep the camp safe.

"Kiln"

The familiar voice sounded again, even with extraordinary strength, he said that he was not afraid, but his heart was still a little hairy.

"Squeak~"

There was a shrill cry, and in the darkness, a large groggy rat swooped down on Knox's throat.

"It's good to come. ”

Knox didn't draw his sword, only to see the fire in his right hand, and his entire arm was wrapped in flames.

The fist was imprinted directly on the head of the motley mouse, and there was a burst of flames, and a smell of burning flesh and blood.

The headless mouse-haired rat was knocked flying almost ten meters away by the impact, and under the reflection of the burning flames on its body, it twitched and failed to twitch a few times.

"Squeak!"

At this time, the swarm of miscellaneous rats rioted, and the shrill cries came and went.

There was a "pop" sound, and God knows how many rats jumped out of the rat hole.

"Come on!"

After winning the first battle, Knox did not retreat at all, and his right hand once again condensed a ball of flames and shot out of thin air.

The flames struck a rat so hard that it fled frantically until it died violently, in just three seconds.

The scurrying rats illuminated the scene ahead, and there were so many miscellaneous mice that it made people's hearts hairy, this is still a local number, and it is roughly estimated that there must be three or five hundred.

Instead of flinching, Nock laughed.

"It seems, it's a lot, you guys really give face!"
