Chapter 267: Hurricane Rush
I went in and followed me. ”
Wren said without looking back, carrying his shield and Mithril broadsword, and strode into the passage.
Roger followed him with his sword in hand, Meligo and Asker followed, and Ysso's figure vanished, escaping into the shadow plane.
The passages are deep, the walls are unlit, and vampires are born with night vision, and their nests are generally dim when not necessary.
Wren, Roger, and Isu all have the ability to "Dark Vision", but the two casters don't, and Asker raises his hand and throws out three "fluorescent grasses", and the light blooms, like three crystal lamps floating on the team's heads, illuminating the surroundings.
The moment the light lit up, two blood-colored figures appeared.
Two vampires, a man and a woman, who did not see the strength of the invading enemy, screamed and pounced on them, four sharp claws tearing through the air.
Rumble!
Wren's Voice of Everything spotted them one step ahead of them and charged again.
The two-thousand-pound spiked shield was in front of him, and his whole body was like a boulder crushing through the passage, fast and fierce, and the rolling air sucked the two vampires, and there was nowhere to hide.
The shield strikes forward.
The passage trembled, dust gargled and fell, and the vampire was crushed to minced flesh like a praying mantis standing in front of a steam train.
After killing two enemies, Wren immediately retreated into the bright range so as not to get too far away from his teammates.
"What a speed!"
Roger secretly praised, he had fought side by side with Wren, and suddenly realized that Wren's speed was many times faster than before.
Before he could even make a move, Wren took out the enemy.
The passage goes deep into the ground, and after three turns, the group enters the wide cavern.
As Roger runs, he keeps throwing alchemy bombs. Finally, a specially made large "burst flame" was thrown, and the flames burst out, the earth shook, and the passage collapsed with a roar.
This was in the plan, not to let any vampires escape.
"Go on. ”
Passing through the cave, a fork in the road appears ahead.
Wren chose one of the paths without hesitation, and after running a few steps, he suddenly turned sideways and swung the Mithril broadsword in his hand half a step.
Silver sword light flashed through the air.
Blood splattered, and a high-level vampire in stealth was cut off at the waist, its eyes full of astonishment, and it didn't understand why it was seen through.
The vitality of high-level vampires is extremely tenacious, and even if they are cut in two, they do not die immediately. Its upper body form was about to turn into a bat and flee, and a sword tip pierced out of its eyebrows, killing it completely.
Behind the vampire, Azu's white silhouette emerges and disappears again.
The two worked together seamlessly, and the high-level vampire was killed in an instant.
Wren kept his feet and continued to run forward.
He had memorized the topography of the upper three layers of the vampire's lair, and had taken a picture of the map with his mobile phone, and the route was extremely clear.
In less than two minutes, Wren led the way through the first layer of the cavern, killing six vampires with his own hands.
Then, rush into the second floor.
Wren's tall body was wearing heavy armor, rushing to the front, but his movements were not the slightest clumsiness, his steps were light and fast, like thunder, and the perfect combination of strength and speed in his body surprised the three Rogers behind him, and produced a great sense of security.
And they found that Wren's perception was very keen.
No matter where a vampire is hiding or launching a sneak attack from a dark corner, Wren can always detect the enemy one step ahead of time and take it in stride.
There are two vampires who hide very well, and they deliberately hide in the distance, but they are still pulled out by Wren and killed.
The shield in his hand was the strongest barrier in the world, and no vampire could break through and reach his teammates behind him.
Except for Ys, who assisted twice, the three of Roger didn't have a chance to make a move at all, and they were all solved by Wren himself.
Roger, as a senior legendary witcher, is more familiar with Wren and knows that his strength is far beyond his own level, so he feels okay.
Meligo and Yask were amazed in their hearts.
They are spellcasters, most afraid of being close to the enemy, and with such a strong defensive teammate protection, they can cast spells without fear and use the power of spells to the fullest.
"If only there was Wren's protection in every battle in the future......"
The two of them thought about it in unison, and then they knew that they were dreaming, with the status of Wren, how could they be willing to be willing to be a protector for the caster?
Moreover, they have not forgotten that Wren is also a wizard!
The area of the second layer of the cave is larger, and it is no longer a primitive cave excavated, but it has been renovated into an underground residence, a hall, a bedroom, a study, a martial arts training ground, and an alchemy room...... All kinds of facilities are available, corridors and corridors are dug to connect them, and crystal lamps are installed on the walls.
Coming out of a hallway, there is a spacious hall in front of you.
The hall is hundreds of square meters, with long tables and chairs in the middle, and is richly decorated like a vampire dining place.
The crystal lamps have been extinguished, and the hall has been shrouded in darkness.
Wren didn't hear a heartbeat in his ears, so he should have covered it up with a spell.
Sensing a hint of danger, he cautiously scanned it, and under the will of truth, he immediately found the traces of the enemy, and a whole seven vampires lurked in the hall.
Three are hung from the ceiling, and the other four are distributed around, all in stealth.
The Soul Eye saw their strength clearly, two high-rank, two mid-tier, and the rest were beginner-level vampires, who had set up the hall as traps waiting for their prey to jump into.
Wren made a judgment in an instant, his movements were slightly sluggish, and he reminded his teammates without a trace.
Then he pretended not to have found anything and entered the hall first.
The spell trap on the ground in the middle was too large to be avoided no matter what, and Wren walked to the edge of the trap and was about to step into it, suddenly stopped and scurried back to the two casters.
Roger threw out several "Silver Moon Dust" and exploded in midair.
Bang bang bang......
The silver dust spread across half of the hall, and the seven flying vampires were immediately broken through their invisibility and revealed their true forms.
Boom!
Roger sealed his left hand, and a white icy force struck upward, knocking down the three vampires above his head, and two of them froze all over, and were decapitated by his silver sword before they could hit the ground.
One of the high-level vampires reacted quickly, only letting the power of the ice rub a little, and rolled over and landed beside Melige, its claws swinging towards her neck.
At this moment, Meligo was performing an "air cut", slicing the vampire that rushed out of the corner into pieces, and the vampire's claws slashed across her flame shield, not only did not hurt her, but her hands were burned black and painful.
"Legendary!"
The vampire screamed, and before it could escape, a spiked shield smashed it to pieces.
The remaining two vampires were relatively close, and before they could get closer, Azu's sudden appearance behind them and the Hidden Blade in both hands pierced their heads.
In two or three breaths, the besieging vampires were killed.
Seven souls flew out and were absorbed by Wren.
Vampires are all believers in the Lord of Chaos, and their souls will return to the abyss, Wren only absorbs about two-thirds, and the remaining third carries their deep consciousness away, and may be resurrected in the abyss in the future.
The two vampires who were decapitated by Roger had a part of their souls torn apart by the silver sword, and the soul fragments were kept in the corpses.
Roger took out the crystal and collected the soul shards, and the team moved on.
It may be that the vampire found that the enemy's strength was extremely strong, and he could not stop it, and retreated deeper, and Wren and the others did not encounter them again in the second layer of the cave.
Entering the third level of the cave, the space is larger and more complex, like a huge underground labyrinth.
You don't have to think about it to know that most of the vampires lurk in this level, hiding in all corners, and it is impossible to eliminate them all in a short period of time.
Roger thought about it for a few seconds, then turned around and blew up the passage to the second floor.
"Saving time and finding Arritin's was the number one goal. ”
Wren nodded in agreement.
In fact, he was a little surprised, Arettin hadn't shown up yet, his lair had been invaded by a strong enemy, and he could still hide in the depths safely, could he expect to rely on vampires below the legendary level to do it?
Worst-case scenario, Arridine is not in the lair.
Wren thought as he ran wildly.
The group took out several hapless vampires along the way, and it wasn't long before they finally found what might have been Arritin's hideout.
A huge stone gate nearly ten meters high blocked the way.
The door is carved with complex lines, dozens of weird runes form a magic circle, lit up with blood-red light, the rich smell of blood escapes from behind the door, and the air is filled with evil breath, even if it is just a little smell, it makes people dizzy, and the desire for blood is born in the brain.
Wren was protected by the will of truth and was not affected.
Yask's "purification" took effect, helping the others to clear the corrosive effects of the smell of blood, and their spirits were lifted and their consciousness was restored.
Mei Lige observed the blood-colored magic circle on the stone door and said, "This is the magic gate, I can open it, but it will take some time. ”
"How long will it take?" asked Roger.
"It's going to take 20 minutes at the fastest. Mei Lige was a little unsure, "I don't know much about the blood rune system, so I'm not sure I can open it." ”
Roger frowned when he heard this, this stone gate was both good news and bad news.
The good news is that Arrittin should be hiding behind the door.
The bad news is that he hadn't explored the gate before, so he wasn't prepared for it. At best, it only took twenty minutes for Meligo to open the door, and the duration of the Spatial Anchor was not much, and it would be difficult for Arridine to prevent it from escaping if he had teleportation-type spells.
Moreover, the vampires lurking in the vicinity will not be able to let them crack the magic door quietly, and they will launch wave after wave of attacks.
Roger thought to himself, is it possible that the multi-year plan will be wasted?
This time it alarmed Arritin, and with the cautious style of a vampire, it was almost impossible to have another chance in the future, but he would be retaliated against.
Just as he was feeling helpless, he saw Wren step forward and push the door.
Roger thought that Wren was going to rely on brute force to break the door, and he was just about to say that such a large magic door, carefully arranged by the vampire count, was difficult to crack with brute force.
Then, the door was pushed open!
