Chapter 0079: Ambush
Just as everyone was amazed at Grim, a red shadow flashed, and Mary rushed back. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
With a vigorous blow, a withered human head with bared teeth was also thrown in front of everyone.
Kevin is only a high-level apprentice, but he can command two quasi-witches, so he naturally has his own special means. But at this time, he was also quite embarrassed by today's scene.
As elite apprentices specially trained in the training camp, the group of six of them only won one head in total, while the two newcomers each won one. This made him, the elite captain, secretly call the newcomer fierce!
Half of the six fallen apprentices guarding the mine were left behind by them, which is already a commendable achievement. However, more than 1 hour has passed since they started fighting, and there is not much time left for them to loot resources.
After all, this No. 7 pit is deep in the underground world, and it is difficult for them to hold on. Once the reinforcements from Elysium arrive, I'm afraid it's time for a new battle royale next.
For the arrival of Kevin and his party, the rat men who acted as miners did not have any fear. Even the nezumi queen ran out to bargain with them with her head, and for this reason, she also offered to waive all fees as long as there were apprentices willing to sleep with her, and gave the nezumi tribe a small "treasure" for the past year.
But looking at the rat-man queen's fluffy little face, round body, and fat and sagging breasts, all the elite apprentices couldn't help but feel a wave of nausea. Whenever the other party's mung bean-like eyes fell on him, his hair stood on end, and he just wanted to retch.
So, after Kevin doubled the payment of 500 magic crystals, he got 26 hemantapes from the rat-man queen. Each of these batches of hemantoid garnets is the size of an egg, and the overall value is initially estimated at 4,800 magic crystals. If they are brought back, each member of the team will receive 200-500 magic crystals.
The reason why the difference in income is so large is also related to the contribution of the team members during the mission. Like Grimm, Mary, and the quasi-witch, who directly took a human head, they will definitely be tilted in the distribution of mission benefits.
After discussing with the two quasi-witches, Kevin quickly came up with a specific distribution plan: the quasi-witch Green got 3, the quasi-witch Randolph got 2, Kevin got 2, Grim got 2, Mary 2, and the remaining 3 senior apprentices each had 1. As for the remaining 12, they need to be handed over to the training camp and purchased by the Turlock firm behind the bald Afu, and the proceeds will be distributed equally among the individuals.
As for the hemantoid that each person obtains, they can dispose of it themselves. Presumably, those wealthy wizard families will definitely take the initiative to reach out to them to negotiate the purchase of hemantet.
Now that the task here is complete, all that remains is how to return safely.
Historically, the journey back to the surface from the mission site is one of the most dangerous journeys, and most of the mission team's casualties occur in the process. Therefore, it is still a very cold question to have a life to make money and not to spend a life!
The idea of returning to the camp with a companion is also the most unacceptable, and the probability of being ambushed is even more 100%. Whether it's the cunning underground monsters or the fallen apprentices who hear the wind, their journey back will be full of dangers.
So at this time, they still went their own way, and each fled back to the surface by means. If you can't escape, you can only blame yourself for being too weak, and you can't blame others!
Therefore, as soon as the loot was divided, everyone said to each other to take care and went their separate ways. Anyway, there are not a hundred or eighty passages to the surface, and as long as they are not so unlucky, they will not be blocked.
…………
When everyone had dispersed, Mary jumped on the crocodile, looked around with her scarlet eyes, and shouted impatiently, "Let's go too!" Be careful on the way back!"
Grim chuckled in his heart and couldn't help but frown.
In this age when the mind is king, Grim never dared to ignore any signs of danger. Especially Mary, an ancient alien whose power comes from the alienated bloodline, has a much deeper understanding of the laws of the plane than him. If even she felt a little uneasy, something bad must have happened to them.
Grim picked up Mary again and melted into the natives, and the crocodile's huge body slowly sank into the ground and disappeared.
Using the Crocodile Hunter's earth-based magic, Grim made a tour of the surrounding area, but did not find any suspicious clues. After initially ruling out the possibility that Pit 7 was a trap, Grim could only drive the crocodile hunter on his way back.
If it was customary to come here, Grim would have run along the underground passage for a while, until he encountered a situation where he needed to take a detour. This will save the Crocodile Hunter's earth-based mana consumption to the greatest extent.
But now that he is alert, he doesn't care about the consumption of mana, but chooses to submerge into the underground soil layer the whole way, and quietly touches the upper layer.
Since the road is full of large stretches of metal ore or hard rock formations, it is necessary to constantly choose the way to traverse, so it is impossible to travel too fast through the dirt.
Three hours later, halfway through the journey, Grim finally let go of his thoughts.
However, just as he drove the crocodile hunter through two huge rock formations that stretched for miles, the crocodile's massive body seemed to pass through a calm water, and the earth-based magic that filled the entire body suddenly lost control.
There are traps!
Almost instantly, he realized that something was wrong, but as the Demon Crocodile Hunter's earth-based magic power went violent, the huge soil pressure around his body suddenly increased.
Grim's face changed suddenly, and he panicked and drove the crocodile to the nearest underground passage.
It's a deep, dark passage of silence.
The passage winds and turns, as deep as the bowels of a terrifying beast.
Most of the passage has been excavated between rock formations, and only a small part is still damp and dark mud walls. But at this moment, this mud wall suddenly boiled, exploded with a bang, and a behemoth broke into the passage with a splash of mud and rubble.
Immediately, two humanoid black shadows rushed out of the behemoth.
"What's wrong? what's wrong with your golem?" Mary's hurried voice rang out in the darkness.
"There is a special witch array in the area we passed through just now, which can actually interfere with the operation of the demon crocodile's own earth magic, we must get out of here quickly!"
Mary was slightly stunned, her scarlet pupils shining brightly in the darkness.
"Which way?"
"......" Grim's eyes hidden under the goggles were also flickering, and looking at the equally dark passage on both sides, he couldn't make up his mind for a while.
"Humph!" Mary snorted, "Let me come!"
Mary jerked up straight, her body facing the side of the passage, took a deep breath and roared abruptly. Her voice was so sharp and high-pitched that Grim felt his head buzz and couldn't hear anything anymore.
As strange sound waves rippled rapidly through the passage, Mary stood with her eyes closed, as if listening to something.
"The passage is 327 meters long, winding upwards, and there is a small cave at the end, and there is a ...... inside" Mary paused, and her voice suddenly turned sharply: "Two people! There are two people there who are rushing towards us quickly!"
Grim's eyes turned fierce.
The two of them are still rushing to this place so recklessly. Needless to say, it must be that I feel like I'm sure of eating the two of them. Even if he didn't have to face each other, Grim dared to conclude that they must be two quasi-witch-level depraved apprentices.
Since the enemy is so well prepared, I am afraid that the few passages around it will not be very safe. Grim reached out and swept away the crocodile hunter, picking up the two summoning crystals from the disintegrating dirt, turning and pulling Mary to the other side of the passage.
The floor of the underground passage is always so rugged and slippery, and the uneven ground and the small stone protrusions of the canine teeth make it difficult for a guy like Grim who is less than 5 points agile to walk. Such a path is a steady step at a time, and it is possible to slip, let alone run with all your might.
It's okay if the ground is uneven, but the problem is that it's not peaceful overhead.
The thick or thin inverted stalagmites are so quietly blocked on the road ahead, if a person only cares about looking down at the road, it is easy to hit his head on it.
So in the first half, Grim dragged Mary to run wildly, and before he ran ten meters, Mary ran wildly with her arms around Grim.
The humid and icy air rushed into his face, and poured directly into the rapidly undulating alveoli along the mouth, nostrils, and trachea, making Grim feel chilled to the bone and his mind to be extremely calm. Under the faint vision, the dark passage flashed rapidly under his feet, and the oncoming stalagmites expanded rapidly in front of him, but they slid by his side with a whine when Grim couldn't help but exclaim.
Mary was now transformed into a ghost walking through the darkness, and the supple and flexible feet on the ground were just a slight tap on the rocky bulges on the ground, and the two of them could quickly glide through the air. Every upside-down stalagmite, every narrow crossing, was a flat avenue in her eyes, and she could walk through it flexibly and silently with just a touch of her toes.
Mary may have become accustomed to such speeds. But for the scum with less than 5 points of agility, Grim's mood at the moment is simply more exciting than riding the craziest and most thrilling roller coaster. If it weren't for the strong wind pressure that kept pressing against his throat, I'm afraid he would have vomited at this moment!
Just as the two of them were running quickly through the dark and deep underground, the passage in front of them suddenly narrowed, so narrow that only one person could barely pass through. And in the narrowest part of the road, a sudden flash of lightning blocked the way.
This web of thunder and lightning enveloped the heavens and the earth, sealing off the entire passage. At the edge of the grid and where the rock wall meets, the arc sparks are dazzling.
The sound of the current exploding in Zzi is even more distinct.
There is no way ahead!
