Chapter 164: Fire Demon
The image appeared again on the water mirror, and the Burning Man team sped forward through the cracks in the ground, and soon reached the outside of the large underground cavern, and with the accumulation of rubble for a short period of time, the gap leading to the large hole was only the thickness of an arm.
The mages hurriedly controlled the burning man to pull away the rubble and widen the gap a bit, only to see that six or seven more crystals were activated in the red-filled cavern, and it looked like it was about to explode.
A few people were just about to order the Burning Man to go in, but Unas stopped, "It's too late!" Duck back and rush in as soon as this explosion happens! ”
Before the words fell, the light shot out of the gap suddenly blazed several times, and the picture of the water mirror shook violently, accompanied by another rumbling sound, which was probably the most violent explosion so far.
Although there was a pile of rubble, four burning men were directly destroyed by the shockwave on the spot, turning into sparks and dissipating into the air, and the others were also injured.
"It's now!" Unas woke up the stunned mages with a loud roar, and the surviving burning men swarmed into the cave.
The scene in the cave surprised everyone again, only to see a crimson monster out of nowhere, the monster body is a snake tail, a dozen gray and black twisted horns grow in an arrangement on his arms, shoulders and the top of his head, two fleshy tentacles hang down from both sides of his chin, his facial features look like lizard-like creatures, only three fingers of sharp claws clench a crooked spear, and its whole body seems to be burning against the red scales.
"Fire Demon!" Huoye called out the name of the monster and asked everyone's questions, "Where did this monster come from?" ”
No one could answer his question, and now was not the time to pursue this, and the fire demon clearly did not regard the fire men of the mages as companions, and it rushed forward and raised its spear to stab the fire man in the lead.
The Burning Man, an energetic creature, is immune to most physical attacks, but the Fire Demon's spear seems to have special damage, and the sparks are flying everywhere, and the entire arm of the Burning Man who raises his hand to block it is scattered by the spear.
The fire demon danced his spear and attacked several more times, easily dismembering the fire man who only belonged to Angela.
Judging from this situation, the remaining eleven fire people combined may not be able to defeat it, and more importantly, their purpose was not to destroy the fire demon in the first place, Unas immediately decided: "Fire Leaf, you specialize in dealing with it, and the others continue to get crystals!" ”
The four fire men of the Fire Leaf were the strongest, and Unas did not expect them to defeat the Fire Demon, at least pestering it for a while so that the others could succeed.
Huoye immediately understood the garrison's intentions, and the four fire men quickly floated forward to surround the enemy, and the fire demon couldn't break through for a while.
The last explosion activated a total of eight crystals, and the remaining seven burning men ran to the four walls of the cave, and quickly got five of them, but there were still three firmly set on the stone walls, and the burning men took turns to exert force, but they couldn't pick them off.
Time waited for no one, and Unas was so anxious that he shouted: "The three are in charge, let me come out of them all!" ”
The highly concentrated mages subconsciously obeyed the order, and the fire people swarmed back, only the fire man of the fire leaf stayed behind to break the queen, at this time the fire demon had already eliminated the two fire men besieging it, and the remaining two also escaped immediately after the other fire people withdrew.
The fire demon chased to the gap, and with its flesh and blood body, it could not twist the size of its body at will, and could only spin around in front of the gap irritably.
All five activated crystals are handed over to a fireman in good condition, who carries the time bombs away from the underground cavern quickly, and the other eight fire men move quickly in the cracks in the ground, they must keep a distance from the underground cavern and their companions carrying the time bombs in front of them, so as not to be hurt by the explosions on both sides.
It didn't take long for the remaining three crystals in the underground cavern to explode first, and the mages immediately ordered the Burning Man team to turn back, and the Burning Man with five activated crystals on the other side also exploded when he was about to reach the surface, widening this section of the crack again and causing a large amount of rubble to roll down.
Luckily, the Burning Man team drilled into the hole again before the gravel completely blocked the gap, and everyone thought that there would be a fire demon killed or injured on the water mirror, but to disappointment, there was nothing in the hole except for a new layer of rubble, and the fire demon disappeared without a trace.
The good news is that none of the crystals were activated by the explosion this time, and they were safe for the time being, Pereira and Fire Leaf breathed a sigh of relief, and the energy of the clan was finally saved, but the other mages did not relax, and the Burning Man team immediately dispersed, carefully searching for traces of the fire demon in the big hole.
Every inch of the hole the size of half a football field has been covered by the fire man, but there is still no trace of the fire demon, is it buried under the rubble?
If this problem is not completely solved, it will always be a threat, and it seems that it will be difficult to find it with these eight fire men alone.
The mages controlled the fire man remotely, although it was not long, but they were already out of spirit with all their efforts, and after searching for a quarter of an hour, they still found nothing, and Unas had to order them to rest for a while.
After consoling a few mages, Tairosos came to Unas, "I originally wanted to go to your front line to have a look, but I didn't expect this to happen, it seems that I can't make the trip." ”
"Thanks to the adults who summoned Miss Angela to help this time, otherwise I don't know how big the loss would be, thank you." Unas hurriedly thanked him.
"Don't say such polite words between comrades," Tyrossos patted him on the shoulder, "and your command is also very good, and you should thank yourself a lot." ”
"My lord laughed."
The one-eyed baron smiled slightly: "I have something I want to talk to you about alone." ”
The top boss said that it would not be a good thing to talk to you alone, but Unas could not refuse, he nodded helplessly, and the two walked towards a boulder in the distance.
"Holya's death... How's your investigation going? Before he had gone far, Tairosos asked straight to the point, this was the first task he had given Unas.
Sure enough, he couldn't escape, Unas rubbed his chin and decided to tell the truth, of course, he decided to hide the rescue of Emily, because it could easily involve the prison escape.
After listening to the ins and outs of the whole thing, Tairosos frowned, a wave of anger was contained in it, and finally he couldn't help but scold: "Something that doesn't make a weapon!" ”
Of course, it was the kidnapper Holia who was scolded, and what he did was really not on the table, Unas hurriedly lowered the fire: "I'm afraid that this matter will spread and affect the reputation of Silver Dawn, so I didn't report it to the adults in writing, and I ask for your forgiveness after delaying it for so long." ”
"You have done a good job, I have never advocated the use of drastic means to deal with problems, although it is not right for the gnomes and other races to unite in private revenge, but they are victims and forgivable, and I agree with your pardon for them."
