Chapter 271: Encirclement

Seeing Lin Yingning's demeanor in his eyes, Lin Ze naturally knew what she was wondering about, but he didn't mean to explain, so he shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, the mine may not only have the four giant obsidian leopards, just in case, it's best to search for it, and by the way, clean up the remaining obsidian leopards." ”

Lin Yingning glanced at Lin Ze without a trace, suppressed the doubtful thoughts, and thought for a while: "Cousin is right, but now that it's getting late outside, we can't immediately ask the village for support, so let's just search around first and clean up the red obsidian leopard as much as possible." ”

The best way to do this is to wait for the village's support to arrive, but it will take a lot of time to get there, and if there are still giant obsidian leopards in the mines, there will be many new beasts born during this time, and it will undoubtedly be more difficult to clean up.

Therefore, after some discussion, everyone decided to act now, anyway, there are two Fire Ring level and more than ten Fire Ring level warriors in the team, even if they encounter the situation just now, they can't escape if they can't beat it.

After resting in place for a while, the group continued to go deeper.

In addition to the members of the hunting team, there is also a miner who is familiar with the condition of the mine, but because the firefox village has only been receiving the ore vein for a short time, the situation inside has not yet been fully explored, so when asked where there is a cave basin, the miner can't say a specific reason.

And as the passage went deeper and deeper, the passage became more and more complicated, and the miners who led the way were themselves dizzy, so everyone had to make marks along the way to prevent them from finding the way back.

"Do you say that the people of Huoxiong Village are too busy to eat and be idle? Obviously, the ore layer above has not been mined much, why do you want to dig so deep and make so many passages?" Guo Xiaozhi walked for a while, and finally couldn't hold back and complained.

Prior to this, the ore vein was in the hands of Fire Bear Village, and the chaotic and complicated passages in the mine cave were naturally left by them, and many people showed a look of deep approval when they heard this.

Lin Ze's heart suddenly moved, could the matter of the Red Obsidian Leopard be related to the Fire Bear Village?

But if that's the case, what is their purpose?

Although there are a large number of obsidian leopards, it is not impossible to solve it with the strength of Firefox Village, but it is just a little troublesome, if Firebear Village does this, it will at most delay the mining progress of the lower ore vein, disgusting Firefox Village.

This jade stone was strange and extraordinary at a glance, and Lin Ze didn't believe that Fire Bear Village risked this thing falling into the hands of others, just to make some obsidian leopards disgusting Firefox Village.

However, in the final analysis, these are just his guesses, and the specific reasons behind them can only be judged after studying the role of jade.

Gathering his thoughts, Lin Ze returned his attention to the rush.

Their goal is to find the giant obsidian leopard and eliminate it as much as possible, so it doesn't matter if you don't know the way, just choose the passage where there are many obsidian leopards.

The deeper they went into the mine, the number and frequency of encountering red leopards increased significantly, but fortunately, with Lin Ze and Guo Xiaozhi's two fire ring levels in front of them, the team did not suffer much damage.

"There seems to be a hole ahead!"

After half an hour, after killing another batch of red obsidian leopards, Lin Yingning suddenly exclaimed.

Lin Ze and Guo Xiaozhi followed her line of sight, and sure enough, they found an oval hole at the end of the passage.

On both sides of the cave wall, there were originally fire source stones escaping light, illuminating the passage brightly, but looking through the hole at the end, the red light behind it was even more intense, giving people the illusion of almost condensing silk threads.

The strange phenomenon made everyone's expressions froze, and they hurriedly raised their twelve points of vigilance and walked forward cautiously.

Beyond the entrance of the cave, there was an empty basin in front of them, almost three times the size of the basin that Lin Ze had seen before, the top of the head was dark, and the top could not be seen at all, and the cave wall seven or eight meters above the ground was inlaid with dots of fire source stones.

It was from these ignition stones that the dazzling red light emanated from the lower part of the basin cavern, creating a stark contrast to the deep darkness at the top.

Lin Ze's eyes were sharp, and he immediately noticed that there was also a stone pier of rice in the center of the basin, and a crescent jade stone was placed on it.

However, unlike before, there are no giant obsidian leopards guarding near the stone pier right now.

He looked around, looking around at the towering walls of the cave.

In addition to the hole they came out of, there were more than ten dark and secluded holes on the cave wall, scattered in different positions on the same level, and I don't know where they led to it.

While he was looking, the rest of the group had slowly walked forward, slowly approaching the stone pier.

When he got closer, he found that the crescent jade on the stone pier was exactly the same as the one Lin Ze had obtained before, but there was a lot more crimson liquid inside, accounting for about one-third of the jade.

Lin Yingning looked at it for a moment and reached out to pick up the jade.

And at this time, Lin Ze's expression moved, and he suddenly turned his head to look to the left, and his movements immediately attracted the attention of Lin Yingning and Guo Xiaozhi, who also looked to the left and made a defensive posture.

Roar!

Suddenly, a low beast roar echoed in the basin.

Under the horrified gaze of everyone, behind the entrance of the surrounding cave walls, a red obsidian leopard suddenly jumped out at great speed.

In the blink of an eye, there were hundreds of more red obsidian leopards in the basin, and countless low roars gradually converged into a rolling sound like thunder, which shocked the faces of the members of the hunting team.

Except for the entrance of the cave when they came, there were obsidian leopards jumping out of all the caves in all directions, and they continued to last, and it was obvious that the number of obsidian leopards was far more than these hundreds.

And after these red obsidian leopards appeared, they were in a hurry to attack, but gradually approached, surrounding Lin Ze and the others in the middle.

Looking at this scene, a thought flashed through the minds of Lin Yingning, Guo Xiaozhi and others.

Ambush!

These obsidian leopards actually knew how to hide, and when they came to the vicinity of the stone pier in the middle of the basin, they surrounded them again and cut off their back path.

"When did the obsidian leopard know how to set traps?" Guo Xiaozhi couldn't help but grit his teeth and muttered to himself.

Lin Yingning looked around with a slightly pale face, the number of red obsidian leopards had exceeded two hundred, and they were approaching three hundred, this kind of number was definitely not something that their team could compete with, even if there were two fire ring levels in the team.

The rest of the people also showed panicked expressions.

Lin Ze was the only one in the team who still had a calm face, and he stared thoughtfully at the obsidian leopard in front of him.

These obsidian leopards stared at them fiercely, roaring in their mouths, their sharp claws constantly pulling at the ground, cutting shallow marks in the hard earth, obviously very agitated, but they never attacked, as if they were suppressed by something, and had to suppress their ferocious instincts.

Thinking of the act of the red obsidian leopard setting a trap, Lin Ze felt a slight feeling in his heart.

"Is it the giant obsidian leopards, or are they people?"
