Chapter 0053: Underground Upheaval
Grim's over-composure apparently also raised suspicions about the "hostages" in the lizardmen's hands. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
However, before he could make a move, Mary, who was originally weak and powerless, moved first.
The fish-like white and smooth body only writhed two or three times before it broke out of the lizard's grasp, and in a flash, Mary appeared behind the other party. But the lizard-man lowered his hands and feet with soreness, and looked like he had lost his resistance.
Only Grim could see clearly from the front, the wrists and ankles of the lizard-man, and the dark green fine scale armor hidden under the trace of blood, apparently Mary had broken the tendons with her fingers.
Such an injury would inevitably be a heavy blow to an ordinary person who lost his ability to fight, but it could only be regarded as a minor injury on a lizard with tenacious vitality and excellent resilience. His limbs couldn't move, but he still had a large mouth full of jagged fangs.
Unfortunately, Mary hid behind him and let her pounce on herself several times in vain.
Just as he was frantically trying to shake off the terrible woman behind him, his dark green body suddenly stiffened and stagnated like a power-off robot. It was only then that Mary smiled and pulled out the sharp finger blade that was inserted into her spine.
In close-quarters combat, Mary was able to cut her opponent's cervical vertebrae through the gaps in the lizard's scales. At this moment, the lizard completely lost its ability to resist.
"What? You're going to stay and see how we're doing?"
Mary teased Grim, who had become a little embarrassed, as she wrapped herself around the lizardman, slowly moving her bright mouth towards his soft neck.
Beauty and the Beast!
Little Green Men vs. Vampires!
Such a scene, Grim slapped his face and wanted to watch it up close.
But at the thought of the heavy taste that was about to happen, he felt that it would be wisest for him to avoid it for the time being. Unlike the impression that vampires would gently stab their sharp canine teeth into the major arteries of their lover's neck, this Mary in Red is obviously more fond of gnawing on them.
The horrible scene of blood mixed with broken trachea and throat was too much, and Grim was afraid that he would lose all appetite today, so he could only turn around and leave.
As soon as he bypassed the stalactite, there was a terrible sound of flesh tearing behind him, and Mary's nervous nose and mouth, mixed with the weak wails of the unfortunate ghost before he died...... Grim shivered and quickly quickened his pace.
After half an hour, Mary walked out of the "dining room" while arranging her gauze skirt.
Looking at her radiant and radiant appearance, I am afraid that no one can imagine what happened in the first half hour.
"Mission site sampling completed?" Grim, who had been waiting for a long time, closed the book of witchcraft.
"Of course, there's nothing wrong with this little thing!" Mary said smugly, tossing Grim a rune crystal.
Grim cast a spell to verify it, and then he was satisfied with his pocket.
At the bottom of the pool, there is a small witch array arranged by the wizards of the association, and the 5 task points correspond to the 5 witch array nodes, and the information of the witch array is sampled back regularly, and the wizards can grasp the terrain and terrain changes of the dark crypt even if they can't take an inch out of the wizard tower.
Therefore, Grim's task is to arrive at the mission point and use the special rune crystal to extract the information stored in the witch circle. And outside of the mission, it is their free time to scavenge and harvest rare resources.
When the team broke up, leaving an agreement to meet in 3 days, there was enough time to loot resources near the mission point. So the two of them only spent half a day to complete the task, and they could walk away at will with that extra time.
However, just as the two of them were wandering around, in another cave five miles away from them, a thrilling battle had just begun.
Leo from the mushroom grove in the Lofenhoe region was running away in panic, and behind him, two black-robed apprentices who also possessed quasi-witch strength were struggling to catch up. As for Matthew, the senior apprentice who traveled with Leo, he didn't know where to go, and I am afraid that he would be unlucky.
Leo is worthy of being a young quasi-witch who is highly regarded by the family, and has an amazing talent in thunder witchcraft that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve. Although he was not agile in his body, his body was as light as nothing surrounded by the white wind particles around him, so he could run faster than a galloping horse. If it weren't for the twists and turns of the passage here, and the stalagmites blocking the way from time to time, I'm afraid he would have escaped the pursuit of the enemy.
Every time he ran through some narrow areas, he would pull lightly with both hands, condensing a blue arc of lightning that kept jumping and flashing between his hands. Leaving the arc behind him, he continued to run without looking back. In less than ten seconds, there will be a furious loud sound of the arc being detonated and a series of angry curses behind him.
In an instant, two embarrassed figures covered in scorched bodies rushed out of the smoke and dust against a small lightning storm. Despite their sorcery protection, the pervasive thunderbolt still shattered the black robes outside their bodies.
The black robe on the right shattered to reveal a close-fitting soft armor as black as ink, a snake-headed staff in his hand, and a pair of scarlet vertical pupils on his face were intimidating.
"Can't chase after it, this guy looks like it's hard to deal with!"
The hood of the black robe on the left side was brushed down, revealing the appearance of a middle-aged man with a fierce face, and he viciously squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth.
"Chase! This kid is not familiar with the terrain, and when he runs to a dead end, we will slowly adjust to him. ”
"What about Anna and Gary? Why haven't they caught up yet?, does it take so long to deal with a high-level apprentice?" the blood-pupiled man looked back and said coldly.
"They've been rerouted! They've tortured the senior apprentice, and they've sent the enemy's formation. Now, I'm afraid they've gone to Area 7 to find trouble with the weakest team!"
"Damn, I knew it was going to happen! It looks like we have to work harder, otherwise let this kid run, I'm afraid we'll get nothing today!" The blood-pupiled man gritted his teeth fiercely, and the snakehead staff hit him hard, and his body instantly turned into a puff of black smoke and crashed into the rock wall on his side and disappeared.
The black-robed leader also sneered with a gloomy face, the black aura on his body flashed, and the speed of running through it suddenly doubled.
A moment later, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly sounded in the tunnel in the distance.
The violent and ferocious shock wave spread wildly outward along the winding corridor, destroying all the way. All the stalagmites, stalactites, sand and gravel that stood in the way were wrapped up and thrown outward. Even the hard steel rock wall was pitted and pitted by the arrow-like sorcery energy, and the entire passage was shattered by pieces of violent martyrdom explosions, and collapsed piece by piece.
The life-and-death battle of several quasi-witch-level apprentices caused devastating damage to this underground passage, and even affected the terrain within two or three miles of the surrounding area to varying degrees. Large-scale landslides, collapses and dislocation of rock formations will block some of the original passages, causing difficulties in access, but they may also cause some new roads to appear, so the roads are broken and there is still hope in despair.
Of course, such a huge movement could not hide from all the wizard apprentices in this area, and all of them found a stable place to hide their figures, silently guessing the origin of this turmoil.
And in a dark and secluded broken cave, there was a soft bang, and a large black figure suddenly emerged from the ground, occupying almost half of the space here.
"Damn, how could there be a sudden earthquake here? Didn't the wizards choose their route to avoid the active area? damn it......" Mary's sweet voice resounded in the darkness.
"I'm afraid it's not a natural earthquake!" Grim's calm voice sounded immediately afterward, and his eyes full of wisdom shimmered in the darkness: "The source of the vibration is about 5 miles diagonally below us in the southeast direction, and it is only 20 meters deeper than us at most. If it was an earthquake, the depth of the epicenter could not be so close to the surface, so ......"
"So it's man-made!" Mary looked back at Grim, obviously surprised at how he could maintain such a precise sense of direction and cool head in the dark, "You want to say that one of our scattered squads is facing the enemy?"
"Likely!" Grim calmly analyzed, "First of all, this epicenter is so close to us, it is unbelievable to say that it has nothing to do with our team. And you've also experienced the underground creatures encountered here, except for a few few, it's almost impossible to pose a threat to high-level apprentices, let alone deal with quasi-witches. So it can't be caused by a team fighting hard when they encounter an underground creature that they can't resist. Then there's only one possibility!"
"Hmm!" Mary nodded in agreement, "it should be the black cubs on the other side." Now I don't know who is so unlucky to fight them. I really want to know how strong they are, so with you, a golem who can walk underground, maybe we have a chance to sneak up on them!"
"We still have to trust this operation. After all, this is the first time to go underground, and before we get familiar with the unique environment and combat methods here, we should still unite and complete a mission safely before considering the detachment. In addition......"
"What else?"
"Also, don't forget! we're the weakest at the moment. If the enemy really has the intention to sneak attack, I'm afraid our team is the one they will not let go!"
"If you don't let it go, you won't let it go, and I'm just trying to weigh their quality. By the way, since you, the earth demon golem, are so magical, can you sense the dynamics of the surrounding enemies? As long as you can help your sister catch a black cub, how about your sister stay with you for one night?" Mary slid her fingers over Grim's lips and laughed wildly.
Grim inexplicably fights a cold war, and can't help but feel a great headache for Mary's bad taste.
Mary became more and more interested in teasing men, and did not forget to tease Grim all the time. However, perceiving her blood pupils that became more and more scarlet the more excited she became, Grim could only use his strong will to suppress the boiling Gu Yaowang, and did not want to become a guinea pig in the hands of the other party.
