"Although I've seen it a few times, I still have to sigh that they are so bold, and that money can make ghosts grind, oh, mining. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The mining town "Bloodstone" is built on the side of a winding mountain road on the top of a hill, the whole is divided into two layers, the lower roof is the upper road, they are both left and right neighbors, but also up and down neighbors, in addition to the winding mountain road as a trunk road, there are many small stairs with a large angle to connect the whole town, I have to say that the architect who built this town is very courageous, and dare to live in this half-empty house, the miners and their families are also full of courage.

Although the Hunters won't step on the air or anything, looking at the terrifying steepness on the side of the road, only Hong Ying still has the heart to tell cold jokes.

"With this kind of planning, it's no wonder that the residents are dissatisfied with the Guardians, if they are not familiar with the terrain, they can easily block the path of others," Wei Yi carefully observed the structure of the mining town, "and if those [Demon Tigers] attack, the threat will be even greater." ”

"According to the plan, we will first ask the mayor about the attack...... "Leah searched for the mayor's house on the map of the town.

【Ring of Covering】

"Huh?" "Shh As soon as he turned a corner, Lu Yao paused, and suddenly cast a disguise on his teammates, Hong Ying was pulled to the corner by Wei Yi as soon as he was surprised, and Li Ya also walked to the little girl vigilantly.

"Hmph, old stubborn." "It's useless to be stubborn, they drove the guards away on their own."

Two men in black cloaks walked in front of them, and they seemed to be hiding something under the cloak, and they whispered something as they walked, but they could hear it clearly to the hidden hunters in the vicinity.

"So, ready for the final step?" "Well, almost, we'll have to let that old stubborn beg us tomorrow."

As if they knew exactly what they were saying to each other, the two left Mine Town without revealing any more information.

"It doesn't sound like blackmail, after all, if you leave a handle, even if you make a temporary profit, it will be difficult to end up in the end." Li Ya said thoughtfully.

"Are you going to arrest them?" Hong Ying rubbed his hands.

"Things have to be done one by one," Wei Yi looked in the direction the man in black came, "After all, their plan is probably at night, now go visit the mayor first." ”

Lu Yao put away the ring, blinked, and nodded.

"Oh, it turned out to be the fast catcher of the underworld, I thought it was those two who took advantage of the fire to rob again." The mayor of Bloodstone is a retired miner himself, and his house is full of mining tools and baskets of rough stones, and it seems that he is very kind to the ore even if he can't mine it himself, and he complains about the two men in black who have just left while preparing drinks for the hunters.

"They are the guards of the Demon Dao Chamber of Commerce in the Underworld, and they ask for half of the right of first refusal to buy the ore on the condition that they will protect our town," the white-bearded mayor chattered, and without waiting for Wei Yi to ask questions, he told all the information: "I have seen their methods of repelling ghosts, and it is indeed good, but the ore produced in our town has a fixed buyer, which is related to the issue of credibility, and it is absolutely not negotiable." ”

"So...... Did they threaten you in any way? Wei Yi thought for a moment and asked, "I didn't look very good when I saw them leave before.

"Well, the guards have been removed, and I'll have to beg them if I'm in danger—ha, no way!" The old mayor rolled up his sleeves: "If you want to be hard, you have to ask me if the guys in the hands of those good guys say yes, to see if their heads are hard or our hoes are hard!" ”

"Maybe it's really their ......hard heads," Hong Ying muttered, and immediately changed his words when the old man glared at him: "That's right! If they dare to cause trouble, we'll knock them in the head! ”

"Good young man, come and see the stones I have collected over the years......" The mayor patted Hong Ying on the shoulder and pulled him towards the ore baskets.

"Shall we leave first under the pretext that we need to investigate somewhere else?" Li Ya looked at Hong Ying, who was desperately shaking his eyes, and asked Wei Yidao.

"Don't go, let's chat, dinner will be eaten at my place-" Obviously, the old mayor's ability to cook himself and keep guests is quite top-notch, and it is really difficult for those clerks of the Demon Dao Chamber of Commerce to provoke him.

――――

As the sun went down, five or six miners were coming out of the mine, but before they could reach the town, they were surrounded by a dozen or so tiger-like monsters with their bodies all black.

"This, is this the ghost who attacked the lone guy some time ago?!" The miners gathered up and used their mining tools to face the encirclement, and a big man who looked like a foreman shouted to his companions: "Don't let them find a chance to break us up, everyone walk slowly to the town!" ”

"Roar!" As if the foreman's loud speech attracted attention, the black tigers began to pounce, especially the foreman as their main target, so that he could not be distracted from command, and the miners were in danger for a while.

【Ring of Guardian】A ring of pale golden light enveloped the miners, and the black tiger that pounced on it bounced back as if it had hit a wall.

"Don't get out of that circle!" A red-haired young man walked out of the shadows on the side of the road with a long-handled axe, "These little cats, leave it to us." ”

"Shadow Demon Tiger, Transform Warcraft, Claw Strike, Bite, Tail Sweep, Characteristics: Dark Vision, Threat: Low." A cold but pleasant girl's voice rang out, and the miners noticed a little girl with a hood behind the red-haired youth, who seemed to be channeling some kind of spell in her hand.

"Roar!" Noticing the presence of additional targets, the demons roared in intimidation, and several black tigers that had not been in the battle before crept around behind the red-haired youth and girl.

"Hehe, you can't get through here." The three-headed demon tiger that had already pounced was stopped in mid-air by a pair of whirling sticks, and a young man in a dark cloak stood at the girl's side, showing a smile that everything was under control.

The red-haired young man who took the lead completely ignored the two demon tigers that pounced on him from behind, swung his giant axe and turned his body, rushing into the tiger group like a tornado, knocking all the tigers that touched this "whirlwind" into the mountain wall or falling off the cliff.

"Where do you want to go?" Seeing that the situation was not good, a black tiger tried to sneak away, but was frozen to the ground by an ice blue arrow flying from nowhere, and then it saw a girl with long water-blue hair and a crossbow in her hand standing on a boulder overlooking the whole situation.

"It's strange that these guys don't have eyes," Hong Ying said after the battle, carrying a stunned demon tiger and marveling at their appearance.

"You go back to town as soon as possible, don't go out tonight, we'll settle this matter once and for all." Leah urged the miners, who thought they could help, to go back instead of causing trouble here.

"The signal source that controls the Demon Tiger has been located, not far from the town, and it has been marked on the map" Lu Yao put away the Guardian Ring, studied the collar on the Demon Tiger for a while with a flickering gaze, and then said.

"Be prepared to face more demon tigers than this batch," Wei Yi threw off his cloak and walked towards the direction marked by Lu Yao first: "Create a crisis yourself and then solve it yourself to reap the benefits?" The plan is good, but unfortunately it has not been realized. ”
