Chapter 43: The Mine

After about two days of driving according to the map, the five finally arrived near a cave on the edge of Lakeside Ridge.

"This is it." Bruno lay in ambush on a small dirt slope not far from the entrance of the cave and said in a low voice.

The daughter of the entrusted employer is preparing for a big wedding, and he needs a palm-sized Tianluo stone to make jewelry for his daughter. As a mid-to-high-end ore raw material, pink Tianluo stone has always been loved by many girls; It also has a certain amount of energy, so it is also a must-have choice for mercenaries to build upgraded weapons. As a result, Tianluo stone on the market has been in short supply.

Although this ore is more expensive, it is definitely not the kind that money cannot buy. However, the Tianluo stone demanded by employers must be the size of a fist, and the resources that are already scarce in the market are even more difficult to find. In desperation, he could only issue a demand commission and buy it at a high price.

After several investigations, I found out that Tianluo stone was once produced in the mine here. Unfortunately, I later heard that there was a witch living in this cave, and she killed all the workers in the cave, and laid a lot of barriers, so that others could not enter at all, and the mine was abandoned over time.

This time, their goal is to enter the mine and dig up the Tianluo Stone.

"What do you know about the so-called witch?" Du Yuhan touched his chin.

"I don't know much, it's all hearsay." Bruno shook his head.

"What do you think?" Du Yuhan turned his head and asked Kevin.

Kevin pondered for a moment, "I guess it's not a witch, maybe it's a humanoid beast." ”

Du Yuhan agreed, after all, living alone in this deserted cave, this possibility is really not very big. It was supposed to be a monster, and then it was bumped into by a nearby adventurer, and it was rumored that it became a witch.

After observing the surrounding situation again, several people cautiously walked into the mine.

There is a lot of space in the mine, and the more you go in, the more dim the sunlight becomes, and there is no light in the black hole. They had no choice but to pull out their torches and continue on their way by the light of the torches.

The cave is full of traces of mining, and thick wooden beams are attached to the cave wall, but unfortunately the decayed surface can no longer play a supporting role. There was the smell of wood mold everywhere, and the water droplets from the roof of the cave dripped onto the ground, accumulating small puddles.

They walked very carefully, for fear of disturbing the unknown monsters in the cave. At the same time, Kevin also looked around to find the right ore. Unfortunately, the mine had been overmined before, and all that was left was broken ore, which was not up to the mark.

Du Yuhan was vigilant, his expression was very serious.

The silence in the cave was terrifying, except for the occasional dripping of water, except for the footsteps of a few people stepping on the gravel.

After walking for nearly an hour, they still didn't reach the end. Although they didn't encounter a single demonic beast, according to their speed, this cave was almost bottomless.

Du Yuhan felt that something was wrong, since they fell into an eerie silence, everyone's hearts seemed to be pressed by a big stone. He felt something strange in the cave, but he couldn't say it, and it was stuffy.

"What's going on?" Heywood's uncomfortable loose neckline, "Why are you so quiet?" ”

"I don't dare to say it because you don't speak." Bruno laughed dryly.

"Do you think it...... Stuffy? Du Yuhan hesitated to ask, he had a feeling of lack of oxygen.

"yes, it doesn't seem to be without windβ€”"

Wind? "yes, why is there no wind?" Du Yuhan had an epiphany. Even though it's in a cave, why isn't there even a trace of air?

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Enchantment. Kevin, who had been silent, spoke.

"Huh?"

Kevin pointed to a small mark on the cave wall, "This is what I left before, I found that we passed three times, and each time we walked for about a quarter of an hour......"

"What does that mean?" Cared frowned, interrupting him impatiently.

"We're going around in circles in other people's barriers." Hooking the corners of his mouth, Kevin showed a charming smile.

Hearing this, the others looked surprised.

"Can the barrier be broken?" At this time, Kared's face no longer had the calmness he had begun, and this kind of thing beyond his control made him feel very unhappy.

"I don't know how high the enchantment caster is, but from the fact that we walked in without knowing it, we shouldn't be able to see through it." It took a long time to look at Cared's angry face, and even in this situation, Kevin still felt very happy.

Hmph, don't think I didn't see it! Let you just bully my Han and make you impatient with him!

The gentle and kind Pastor Kevin is actually a cautious ......

"So what are we going to do now?" Heywood asked bluntly about an important point.

In an instant, the cave fell into an eerie silence again.

"No matter! Anyway, I didn't come up with a way, Lao Tzu wants to rest! Exhausted! He yelled, squatted on the ground and refused to get up.

Look at you bear-like, shame! Du Yuhan looked at Bruno helplessly, "Why don't you take a rest first, everyone is tired." ”

Seeing this, Bruno had no choice but to nod and agree.

And Cared, who was standing in the back, looked very irritated, he sat in the corner with a black face, playing with the bracelet on his left wrist with his right hand, and looked down without knowing what he was thinking.

Du Yuhan secretly glanced at his left wrist, he was really curious about such a precious thing as Kared. The dark lines on the pitch-black bracelet surged, and there seemed to be flowing water slowly flowing underneath, dark and purple, but in fact, at first glance it didn't look special.

Hey? This stone ......

At this moment, he found that the dark lines on the other party's bracelet began to flow at a high speed, and there seemed to be a few bright lines flowing through the middle. Du Yuhan was secretly stunned, and hurriedly looked up at Kared's face, only to see that he closed his eyes and stared, clearly activating the bracelet with the fighting energy in his body.

What does he want to do?

According to the doubts in his heart, Du Yuhan pretended to drink water and observed quietly.

And Kevin, who had been paying attention to Du Yuhan, looked in the direction of his gaze in confusion, and couldn't help but be stunned.

After a long while, it was not until Cared's forehead was covered with fine sweat that he slowly opened his eyes and walked over to a large rock under the puzzled gaze of everyone.

The rock was covered in moss, just like the other stones here, but Khared crouched down and examined it carefully.

"Khareid, what are you doing?" Bruno watched in amazement as Cared pulled out the vault and extracted the humble rock material, then turned to look at himself.

"Smash it up." Khared pointed to the large rock that had turned white.

"It'sβ€”"

"Do as I say." Cared frowned, the look on his face growing impatient. Originally, it didn't need to be so complicated, if it weren't for ...... Tsk, forget it.

Heywood pursed his lips, very dissatisfied with Cared's tone, and was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by Bruno. He smiled and said yes, then raised his fist and slashed at the white model.

Spider-like cracks immediately appeared on the surface of the fragile white mold, and it didn't take long for it to shatter to the ground and gradually dissipate into the air.

In an instant, a breeze blew on their faces, and although the surrounding scenery was still the same, the dull feeling had disappeared, and it seemed that they had come out of the enchantment.

"Huh? What's going on? Heywood touched the back of his neck, and it felt a little different, but he couldn't tell what was different.

"We seem to have come out of the barrier." Bruno, who also didn't know what to do, smiled, he only knew that Khared asked him to break the white mold for no reason, and he didn't know why the barrier was broken, "Khared, you are so powerful, you actually know that the stone is the node of space." ”

"I'm just right." Kareid nodded expressionlessly and glanced at the three people who were still sitting on the ground, "Then can we go?" ”

Du Yuhan exchanged glances with Kevin without a trace.

He didn't know what others thought, he only knew that it was this Kared who activated the bracelet just now, and then he was able to find the key node of this enchantment. According to past experience, the other party is estimated to have entered a certain state like he did before. Although I don't know why Kareid wants to hide his true strength, this does not prevent Du Yuhan from drawing conclusions to the other party-

This man is too dangerous!

The five of them continued on their way, this time very smoothly, and it was not long before they reached the end of the cave.

At the end of the cave were dozens of burning candles, surrounded by the skulls of a dozen people, and in the center of the circle was the purpose of their trip - a bowl-sized Tianluo stone.

It looked like a small altar, with no living creatures around it except for a dozen vines hanging from the corners. But they still don't dare to act rashly, for fear that they will be tricked like before without knowing it.

"It doesn't look like anything out of the ordinary." This is Du Yuhan, who is carefully observed.

"It looks like some kind of enchantment." This is the worried Kevin.

"Do you want to observe again?" This is the cautious Bruno.

"It doesn't make sense......" was the muttered Kared.

"I picked it up." This is Heywood, who doesn't know when he stepped forward.

All:......

The moment Heywood picked up the stone, the altar erupted with a dazzling light.

Du Yuhan's heart suddenly 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped by. it! You bear kid, can you not be so bearish! You don't even know what the situation is, so you rush forward rashly, what kind of trouble are you trying to make trouble?! Did you take any medicine today?!

No matter how Du Yuhan roared in his heart, he couldn't stop the fact that it had happened. After a blinding white light, several people slowly opened their eyes.

Beauty, a peugeot beauty - thick and slightly curly long hair draped down the ground, two delicate eyebrows dotted with dreamlike eyes, naked upper body curves proudly, white skin is better than snow, with an indescribable charm, standing slim in the middle of the altar, even Du Yuhan couldn't help but be amazed.

- Well, if she had feet, so much the better.

I saw that the upper body of this beauty was still humanoid, starting from the waist, and the entire lower body was long snake-tailed, coiling into several large circles, and the layers of thick scale armor reflected a quiet cold light.

Aside from the initial surprise, Kevin didn't feel anything about the woman who had suddenly appeared. When he found that Du Yuhan was actually stunned, the expression on his face was distorted for a moment.

This damn woman is so shameless! Standing here without clothes to seduce her!

Everyone was stunned by the woman who suddenly appeared in front of them, and Heywood was especially at the front.

The smooth and white * in front of him was less than ten centimeters away from him, and he only felt a hot nose, and some unknown liquid flowed out of his nostrils.

Suddenly coming back to his senses, Heywood found that he seemed to have done something very nasty, his face flushed, and his eyes did not know where to go. "Ugh! Yes, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! ”

And this beautiful woman with a human face and a snake body was also frightened by the few humans who suddenly appeared in front of her.

She was stunned for a moment, looked around at the surrounding scenery, and suddenly realized that her boudoir had been invaded by these unknown people. The snake girl was furious, her fair face was dyed with two scarlets, and layers of scale armor began to appear on her body, and the originally neatly trimmed nails instantly swelled and turned into sharp claws.

"! Didn't I apologize?! You women are such a nuisance! Startled by the horrific sight, Heywood snorted and bent over, dodging the long claws scratched by the other man.

Du Yuhan drew the big sword behind him and charged forward in a few steps.

Bite! Bite! Bite!

In a few breaths, the two of them have already made a few moves. The snake girl's nails were so sharp and powerful that she couldn't shake even the special Mithril greatsword, and if she was caught, her skin would be broken. Du Yuhan didn't dare to take risks, so he could only use a big sword to resist, but he was still scratched a few times.

Several people behind him reacted quickly, and immediately joined the battle circle with weapons in their hands.
