A sword slashed a wild wolf in front of him, Duan Qing slowed down his strength, and then shouted to the other side: "How is it, can you withstand it?" ”

"You can do it now, it won't be a little while......"

When he found that the four people on his side were about to be surrounded, Duan Qing decisively gave an order, moved the team to a position near the entrance of the cave, turned his back to the rock wall, and began to attack the wild wolves on the left and right.

That's right, the monsters in the cave now are wild wolves.

Why are there wild wolves in this place-this question is no longer the first question that Duan Qing and the others think about, because the attack power of these wild wolves is much stronger than what they encountered in the wild before, and the crystallized worm that fell at the entrance before is the proof.

The wolves seemed to show signs of demonization, and instead of gaining some kind of ability to cast magic, their power increased. When Duan Qing's team had just retreated to the edge of the rock wall, a wild wolf that had rushed over was shaken to the wall by Duan Qingxu, and then ...... The claw slammed away the protruding rock.

Several people's eyelids jumped, and they gave up the original idea of a quick battle, and instead began to resist the attacks of several monsters with peace of mind.

Mengzhu's combat power is not strong, and with her purple robe that the novice village has not changed until now, her defense is probably also urgent, so she can only hide behind Uncle Smiling's shield, and protect the attacks on both sides with Xiao Hongchen left and right. Because of the previous lesson, the shirtless man is no longer as brave as before, and honestly slashes back the threats on both sides with an axe, and even makes a brainless move, which can be rewarded in the siege of the four wild wolves.

Of course, the attack of the wild wolf is mainly on the smiling uncle at the front.

"Just keep an eye on your position, just stay behind me at all times." Turning around from time to time, the focused uncle still had the strength to command the other two who had an obvious gap in strength and consciousness: "If you can't see the situation ahead, you will have no brains to make a move...... Belch. ”

The wolf in front of him slammed into the smiling butcher's next words again.

"Uncle, you don't matter, right?"

"It's fine." The old man in front let out a long gasp, and then put the shield in front again: "Fortunately, it was replaced by this black iron shield ...... before"

"It's not the way to go." Mengzhu forced the wild wolf that came around to retreat with a knife, and then looked at the other side anxiously: "Keep guarding like this, uncle's physical strength can't hold ......"

"Hey, I can't hold it anymore...... Follow me! Uncle Smiling suddenly removed the shield, took two steps back, and then re-aimed the black iron shield at the front: "But it's not a problem, just let me take a breath......"

"So at this time, you need to be reckless!" Behind him, Xiao Hongchen's arrogant shouts rang out suddenly. Before the smiling butcher could stop him, the sturdy man jumped out screaming.

"Eat me Whirlwind Fire Dance!"

With an axe in both hands, he slashed from the top left to the bottom.

Because it was a fall after jumping, Xiao Hongchen's axe was extremely powerful, and the two wild wolves that were barking in front of the iron shield were slashed out by this sudden axe, and rolled to the side with a wail, but looking at the way they writhed wildly on the ground, they should not have died directly. Xiao Hongchen let out a long laugh, and just wanted to rush up to mend the knife, the two remaining wild wolves next to him rushed up, biting the prey in front of him who dared to attack their companions.

In desperation, Xiao Hongchen could only raise the handle of the axe, which was able to block the attack of one of the wild wolves, and the other wild wolf stretched out its claws and slapped one claw towards his right leg.

With a bang, it was slapped out by a smiling butcher's shield.

Xiao Hongchen stumbled to the side, and then was pounced on the ground by the wild wolf biting the handle of the axe. With saliva dripping from his mouth, the wolf let go of the axe with red eyes and roared under his breath, then suddenly let go of the axe handle and slapped its claws on the head of the man lying on the ground.

Then, its head was pierced through with a dagger.

Mengzhu pulled out his weapon vigorously, staggered back two steps, and was then protected by Uncle Smiling. In the wild barking of the rest of the wolves, the uncle used a roar that he had never used before.

"Laugh at Hongchen! It's a man, just stand up! ”

“...... Damn, labor-management legs are broken! ”

The blow of the wild wolf just now didn't seem to have completely dodged it......

Mengzhu gritted his teeth and wanted to rush out and drag his teammates back, but the two wild wolves that had been chopped by Xiao Hongchen before also turned around and rushed back, pounced on the remaining three people.

Mengzhu grabbed Xiao Hongchen, who was still lying on the ground and struggling, and in the field of vision in front of him, the bodies of the two wild wolves were magnified, and then ...... A foot came out of nowhere and kicked in the body of one of the wolves.

The wolf howled again and flew sideways, knocking over its companion running side by side next to it on the way, and then tossed several times on the ground before stopping.

"They're just a little bit more aggressive." When Duan Qing's voice sounded, the outermost wolf had already been cut down by him with a sword: "Don't carry them all the time, learn to dodge." ”

He rushed forward, stepped behind one of the wolves in a few steps, and threw a punch that knocked the wolf to the ground.

Uncle Smiling rushed forward in three or two steps, slapped a shield on the body of the other wolf, slapped the wolf away, and then brought Xiao Hongchen back with Mengzhu. In front of them, the man in the brown leather armor that Mengzhu had received in the Novice Village was still wrestling with the remaining two wolves. At one point, he rolled behind one of the wolves, then knelt on the ground and slashed horizontally, forcing the two wolves out again.

I remember that the bad uncle was also besieged by three wolves......

Mengzhu stared blankly at Duan Qing, who was still rolling in front of him, and then was woken up by the smiling butcher: "Hey, hey!" Where is the bandage for bandaging......"

"Oh! Oh......"

The little girl hurriedly took out the emergency bandage from her backpack, and then bandaged Xiao Hongchen, who was constantly smoking, while absentmindedly watching the battle that was still going on in the field, and the sound of conversation between them came to her ears.

"Uncle Xiao Hongchen, don't be so impulsive next time, okay......"

"Shhh...... Hey, man...... How can it be...... Not impulsive......"

"I guess that's why you're always kicked out by other teams."

"How do you know...... No, labor and management are not ...... Kicked out...... Ouch, it hurts to death, cute dream bamboo...... Sister, can you lighten it ......?"

"Less nonsense! The wounded are to squat honestly......"

"You ...... Leave me alone, save your life if you can......"

"Don't underestimate us, we're almost over."

With another wild wolf's wail, Duan Qing got up from his half-kneeling position on the ground, and then walked back to the middle of the group.

"Can you still go?"

"Shhh...... It's a bit difficult......"

"Then there is no way, let's fix it first."

"Fixation is...... What do you mean? ”

In Xiao Hongchen's puzzled gaze, Mengzhu took out two more planks from his bag, and then ...... Took out a few ropes.

"What is this ...... do"

"Don't be afraid, find a way to find it on the Internet." Duan Qing said, "But we haven't tried it yet...... So. ”

"It's time to practice with you."

**********************

Although they survived the attack in the end, the losses of the team in this battle can be called serious, and the rest of the people are becoming more and more cautious as they explore.

As for the original mission objectives, it has become less important.

As one of the moderate monsters, the Tunnel Crystallizer is not a very dangerous monster in the first place, so even at the current average level of twenty levels of the team, this task of cleaning up the mine is within their acceptable range. However, their purpose was not to kill insects in the first place, and now that things have developed to this extent, they have to give up the idea of "taking the sheep by the hand".

As they get deeper, there are more and more strange monsters of all kinds.

Fortunately, the remaining three combat-effective personnel were much more cautious, and in the next tunnel, several people successively encountered lone wild wolves, wild boars, lizards, and poisonous snakes, all of which were pulled out by them and cleaned up separately, with the cooperation of Uncle Smiling and Duan Qing's attack and defense, there was not much danger in their advance process. However, because of this, their progress slowed down considerably, until they came across a wild bear that could stand human, and after several people had to solve it with great difficulty, they finally stopped moving forward.

"Although these monsters are a little less powerful than the old Emerald Forest, they ...... It's just so weird. ”

"We are all people who don't read much, and we don't know the game of the free world...... Xiao Hongchen, you should be the one who knows this game best, this situation...... Is it common in the free world? ”

Dragging his injured leg, Xiao Hongchen slowly followed the back of the team. At this time, it was the clothes pole that was used as a crutch in his hand from the previous mission.

"How do I know...... Uh, I really don't know. Seeing that the team stopped, he leaned against the cave wall out of breath, threw the iron rod to the side, and sat on the ground with his broken leg stretched out - I have to say that at this time, he was also one of the reasons why the team was moving slowly, in order to ensure the safety of the rear, Duan Qing and the others even had to explore and clean up the aisles along the road.

"One of the charms of the free world is the myriad of strange phenomena. So...... It's normal for all this mess to appear in the mines? ”

"No, it's not normal at all......"

"Well, it's always going to be worked out." Duan Qing put away his weapon and sat next to Xiao Hongchen: "Then let's analyze and analyze together, why are these wild monsters ...... appear here?"

"Before that, I think there's another issue that's more noteworthy." Uncle Smiling put the black iron shield aside and also participated in the discussion: "The person who gave us the task before didn't mention it...... Now this is the case. ”

"Hmm......"

"Maybe it's because he doesn't know either?"

"With so many miners coming in and out, not a single wolf hasn't noticed...... And their desire to attack is so strong, those crystalline worms are as hard as stones, and they are still eaten by them......"

"So they're all demonic creatures, and it's still reasonable for demonic creatures to appear in a place like a mine where the sun doesn't see the light of day, right? And with their unscientific powers, it makes sense why the bugs would be easily dog-led......"

"But their existence itself ...... Inexcusable. ”

"Is there any other entrance to this mine? Maybe they came in from somewhere......"

"And then they're demonized? And then ruled the mines? ”

"Still doesn't make sense......"

"Come on!" The cry of the little girl suddenly came from the front of the cave, and soon after, several people found the dream bamboo in the corridor behind the black bear's corpse.

"There's a corpse up ahead." She gasped and said, "Scared the hell out of me......"

The little girl didn't know when she sneaked to the front, and then ran back in a panic, and then received the usual ridicule and comfort from several big men.

Under the light of the torches, Duan Qing led the team to find the corpse. Judging by the degree of decay, the man does not appear to have died very soon. The brown robes were draped over him, but they were torn to shreds, apparently by the mad beasts. Several people endured the nausea and rummaged him up and down, but found nothing that could prove his identity.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that this man seems to have been a mage in his lifetime, except for the fact that he was wearing a suspicious robe, and several people found his staff not far away.

【Stone Staff (Fine)】

[Weapon Power: Weak]

[Equipment Requirements: Intelligence 7, Spirit 10]

[Special effect: Your clod spell will become harder.] 】

["Most of Sunderland's mages are mainly earth-based magic, and even the most rudimentary mages will have their own earth-based staff, so as to make their earth-based magic more powerful. ”】

"Well, it seems to be something very promising." After reading this rod that was yellowed all over and seemed to be made of tree branches, Duan Qing passed it on to the others.

"This mage should also have a background, so ......" Uncle Smiling touched his chin and nodded: "If we go back and report to the Mage Council, there should be an answer." ”

"Of course." Duan Qing said, "But we have to wait until we go back." And ......"

He looked out at the front of the mine, the darkness of the cavern devoid of light, like the mouth of a beast that chooses to devour.

"We've got to be able to get through the rest of the matter......" he drew his weapon and flicked his sword as usual, "If he's indeed someone from the Mage Council, then it's a big deal." ”

"Assuming he's a member of the Mage Council, then the Mage Council does have a lot of vision." The smiling butcher raised his torch and tried to light the way ahead: "No matter what he's sent here for, he should be an earth magician, then...... Sending him here should be the right choice. ”

"But he's dead now."

"So we're going to be facing...... It could be a very serious situation. ”

"Let's find something else that can represent his identity, so that when we go back, we can find out his identity......"

"Hey, guys, maybe it's worse than you think."

Dragging his injured leg to the side, Xiao Hongchen, who had not moved, suddenly said: "You didn't find it...... Was the cause of death of this deceased? ”

He leaned against the wall and pointed a temporary clothes pole as a crutch at the neck of the corpse, which was also leaning against the wall.

"He was killed, and ...... It's a knife wound. ”
