Chapter 382: Gold Devouring Ants
Seeing Eusebio, Franco was the first to raise his voice and ask, "Captain Eusebio, what's wrong?" β
The arrival of the Dragon's Mercenary Regiment was what Franco was most happy to see. With so many mercenary groups present, they were the only ones who could play a role in restraining the Tomahawk mercenary group, so that Escobar would not be too unscrupulous.
As for Eusebio's troubles, Franco didn't pay much attention to them.
- That's when he doesn't know exactly what this trouble is.
Eusebio strode over and stood beside Franco.
This was originally in the middle of the hall.
"I'm going to tell you the bad news, the entrance door to the hall where our dragon bard mercenary group has fallen has suddenly closed!"
"What!?"
When the huge stone door closes, aren't these mercenaries in the hall cut off from the back road? If you can't get out, what's the point of getting more wealth.
One of the mercenary leaders asked anxiously, "Captain Eusebio, can't you open that stone door?" β
"Nope." Not to everyone's surprise, Eusebio shook his head.
If he could break through the huge stone door, he wouldn't be in any big trouble.
"The stone door seemed to have to be pushed open from the outside, but the people inside were helpless. I tried to break down the door violently, but the inside of the stone door was obviously not ordinary stone, it was unusually hard. I tried my best, but I couldn't shake it. β
When the mercenaries heard this, they couldn't help but gasp.
Eusebio is a golden warrior-level powerhouse, and his strength is extremely strong. Among the nearly 1,000 mercenaries present, only Escobar, Roger and a few others were comparable to them. If he is helpless against the giant gate, then the road of forcibly breaking the door by force and violence seems to be most likely unworkable.
But when they came in, everyone found that it was a hall connecting a hall, a passage with the same line, and there were no other forks in sight. That is, where you come in, you can only get out from where.
"Why don't we go back and try again, there are thousands of mercenary brothers here, everyone can work together, even if you dig it, you can dig a way."
A mercenary leader proposed, which was approved by everyone.
The stone gate is strong, and the surrounding walls can't be just as impregnable. This hall is full of professionals, can't you break through the wall and get out?
Escobar immediately shouted, "Without further ado, let's go back and have a look." β
This time, all the mercenaries agreed in a hurry.
Whatever opinion you have about Escobar and the Tomahawk mercenary group, let it go at this time. Even the search for treasure has to be pushed back. If you don't ensure that there is no way out, no one can continue to explore with peace of mind.
The crowd was about to leave for their return when the sound of footsteps came from the passage again.
This time, the footsteps were even more hurried, and the person who came seemed to be running over.
"It's the Fire Phoenix Mercenary Group!"
A mercenary called out, with a certain worry and fear in his voice.
It was Gaia, the leader of the Fire Phoenix Mercenary Regiment, who was running over, and his face was even more ugly than Eusebio just now.
"What's wrong?"
Escobar asked, feeling a bad feeling in his mind.
"The entrance to our hall, the stone door has also been automatically closed!"
Wow~
The mercenaries were in an uproar.
Immediately afterward, there was an even denser sound of footsteps in the passage, mixed with various noises.
Seeing Escobar and Eusebio's puzzled expressions, Gaia explained, "I sent all the brothers of the Fire Phoenix here. β
"Could it be ......" Eusebio's heart moved, and his face became even more calm.
"Yes!"
Gaia nodded affirmatively, "I'm worried that the gate here will close soon." And you, head Eusebio, I also sent someone to inform you. β
Escobar and Eusebio stopped talking, and Gaia's speculation was likely to come true.
As he spoke, the people of the Fire Phoenix Mercenary Group rushed in, and everyone had a look of surprise on their faces.
The Tomahawk Mercenaries took the first hall, and everyone waited for them to finish harvesting the spoils before continuing down. The Dragon's Bard mercenary group occupied the second hall and cleared the guards' evil eyes, and by the time they began to fight against the magic array and mechanism that protected the treasure, the Fire Phoenix Mercenary Regiment had already begun to attack the third hall.
Similarly, when the Spirit Fox Mercenary Group took the initiative to stand up and charter the fourth hall, not to mention the Fire Phoenix Mercenary Group, even if it was the Dragon Yin Mercenary Group, it had not yet completed its task of harvesting the loot.
The Spirit Fox Mercenary Group's actions were too fast, or Long Aotian's action was too fast, they all looted everything, and the first two mercenary groups hadn't been done yet.
According to the time calculation, the Dragon Yin Mercenary Group should be about the same, but the trap of the Fire Phoenix Mercenary Group is at most half done. Seeing the income shrink by half, Gaia was also bitter. But there is no way, the most important thing is to save your life.
Eusebio glanced back at the deep passage, and his brothers were coming here one after another, which made him feel much more at ease.
"What now? Go back as planned? β
Gaia frowned and said, "The gate to this entrance may close soon." β
Escobar said coldly: "Then you should go out, at least you can deal with one less door." β
"There's another possibility we're looking at."
Eusebio muttered, "Let's keep going, there may be a way out later." Don't forget, the Dark Alliance has also organized another team of men to enter the ruins through the second entrance. β
Speaking of this, he raised his eyebrows, and the other two regiment leaders also reacted and turned their heads in unison.
"Lord Roger?"
When he looked at the past, most of the hope of the three regiment leaders was instantly extinguished by Roger's bitter smile.
"The information I got about the ruins was provided by our Dark Alliance leader. There is no mention of the stone doors that would automatically close after these halls passed. As for our next route and itinerary, the description is becoming more and more simple and vague. But on the third level, the heart of the ruins, it should be clear that the teams entering through the two entrances will converge. β
Escobar was very dissatisfied with this reply: "Didn't you just discover this ruin, and you haven't had time to explore it, why do your alliance leaders seem to know everything about the structure here?" I don't think there's a secret hidden here."
Roger smiled bitterly, "How do I know, if I knew, would I still be trapped here with you?" β
Eusebio played a round: "Don't argue, Lord Roger is also a victim. The top priority is to figure out how to open the channel. β
Gaia nodded and agreed, "That's right. Now we have two choices, one is to go back, tear down the wall, and break the door. The second is to ignore the back, continue to move forward, and pin hope on the third layer. β
Roger didn't care so much, and also joined the discussion: "I think we need to make sure first, the stone door that is re-closed is difficult to open from the inside, but what if it is from the outside?" β
When you came all the way, there was a magic array in front of each stone gate. The difficulty of breaking the door actually falls on cracking the magic array. As for the stone gate itself, although it is full of weight, a bronze fighter can also do it.
Escobar snorted coldly: "Sure what's the use of this, we're all in there now." β
"No!" Eusebio reacted, "At least we're in this hall now, the door hasn't been closed yet, and we can arrange people in advance in the passage of the outer faΓ§ade." β
Gaia also understood: "If we are sure that the door can be pushed open from the outside, then we don't have to rush back to break down the door." Just arrange a few people in the passage and open the door for us when the time comes. If we can't find it, we can easily retreat here, and then we can open the door and go back. β
"But......" Eusebio rolled his eyes, and wanted to say what if he couldn't open it outside, but in the end he held back.
Escobar asked directly, "Who's going?" β
He swept his gaze, and the leaders of the small and medium-sized mercenary groups around him who were listening turned their heads one after another, not daring to look at him. For fear that one will be caught accidentally.
It's a good idea, but if the stone door can't be pushed open from the outside, isn't that person going to be suffocated in the passage?
Eusebio and the others frowned, but they couldn't think about it. No one is stupid, and who will come out of such a dangerous task.
Escobar's eyes were fierce, and he was about to brutally arrest Ding, and finally the two members of the Dragon Bard Mercenary Regiment, who were coming in through the passage, walked this way with something in their hands.
"What's the matter?" Eusebio saw it and asked.
One of them flipped his hand over, revealing what he had caught.
"Captain, look."
I saw that the thing was the size of a palm, and the whole thing was shining with a metallic luster, not to look a bit like an ant that had been magnified countless times.
The mercenary who knew the goods saw it and immediately exclaimed.
"Gold Eater!?"
