On a rather steep slope halfway up the hill, under the cover of a dozen pine trees and vines, the entrance to the cave where this monster lived was ingeniously untraceable. But the trails and scratches all pointed to this one place, and under the Hiss attentive perception, there was a huge heat source deep into the mountain.

The three of them pushed to the bottom of the hill, and Hiss said what he perceived: "I smelled blood from the wind blowing just now, but it is not the smell of human blood, the monster inside may have just eaten a full meal, and there is a trace of rancid smell that is not obvious, and the prey captured by the monster may have been around for a while." Also, I sensed a much smaller heat source from inside, like a monster cub. However, judging from the previous claw marks, this monster does not look like it has just been produced. ”

"So we're dealing with a female beast who protects her cubs? The level of the crusade may have to be increased by one level. Anne had removed the longbow she was carrying, and she did not hesitate to attack the she-beast. In the north of the country, where the climate is harsh all year round, the folk customs are much stronger than those in some places where the living environment is stable, although they will also have pregnant female beasts, for example, but that kind of thing will happen when their own living conditions are not threatened, and people will eat the bark of the tree when they are hungry and care what pregnant female beasts are.

And beasts that can threaten life and safety, such as monsters or wolves, are generally killed first and then consider whether to protect them.

"Then do you want to just blow up the cave? It's a lot safer that way. Garriman asked calmly as he pulled a fist-sized ball of clay explosives from his horse's pocket.

Anne's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and she looked at Garriman with sparkling eyes and asked, "I haven't seen the power of this explosive made by imitating the fireball technique, so I decided on this method, okay, big brother?" ”

Hiss naturally doesn't care, he is already a warrior in the middle of the silver rank, and he can deal with a single black iron rank demonic beast so that it can rub its left hand on the ground with one hand. However, he still wants to resist the monster alone and let his younger brothers and sisters output it in the back, and now it seems that he is going to be in the soup.

Garriman took out two one-kilogram clay explosives from his horse bag and kneaded them together, and inserted the [Time-Delay Secondary Flame Ball] scroll into it as a detonator. Show the other two what you've already prepared.

Anne held the black and gray ball that was rubbed into a ball with both hands and looked at it, but she didn't see a rough idea, and couldn't help asking: "Second brother, you said that it was such a big thing to blow up the cave?" How powerful is it? ”

Garriman pushed the non-existent glasses, and his voice was extremely calm: "Yes, the destructive power generated by the explosion of such a large clay glue explosive in a small space is comparable to that of the third-level spell [Fireball Technique], in an open place, within a radius of 6 meters, it will receive burn and impact damage, which is enough to blow up ......" He glanced at Hiss and said: "It is enough to blow up the strength specialty warrior of the black iron high position, the farther the distance, the greater the damage, and there is not much damage after a radius of 6 meters." ”

Anne blinked, her hand shaking a little.

Garriman comforted him with a smile: "Clay explosives are very safe explosives, and they will not explode under normal circumstances, even if you shake your hand and fall off, you will be fine." The detonation conditions of the clay explosives are high temperature and high pressure, so I will stuff a time-delayed secondary flame ball reel into the clay explosives. The high temperature and pressure generated by the explosion of the secondary flame ball inside can detonate the clay glue explosive. ”

"But whoever has something big enough to blow themselves up into meat sauce won't feel at ease, how do you sit casually under a bunch of big fireballs and gallop around? Aren't you afraid of explosions? Anne shuddered and returned the clay explosives to Galiman.

"It's good to get used to it, as long as you're familiar with the habits of all kinds of explosives, you won't have this kind of worry." Garriman took his hand, and it was upside down.

Hiss also trembled a little when he saw it, and hurriedly urged: "Then let's go up and blow up the cave, hurry up and end it, we still have time to hunt some ordinary animals and eat." ”

The three of them returned to the pine tree that covered the entrance of the cave, and the wind direction at this time was a cold wind blowing from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and the three of them were located in the downwind outlet, so they didn't have to worry too much about the smell being detected by the monsters. But the question now is how they can silently cross the pine trees and vines into the cave and throw the mud explosives on the beast's head.

After thinking for a while and not thinking of a way, Garriman simply said: "Since there is no way to enter silently, then let's order directly, and Hiss you can throw the mud glue explosives in." ”

"Well, if there's a corner in the cave, you won't be able to do much damage to the beast. And if the cave collapses, how can we find the loot? Anne asked.

Garriman shrugged and said, "Then it won't take much effort to blow the cave open again." ”

"Is this really okay?" Anne says she's never heard of this kind of operation.

"Of course no problem!" Garriman said that in his previous life, even a hydrogen bomb could be used to clean up nuclear radiation, so what else could not be solved by exploding.

Anne looked at Hiss, after all, he was the one who carried out the operation.

Hiss thought about it carefully, and found that he actually liked this simple and direct operation, which was very much in line with his style as the commander of the heavy cavalry, so he did not object.

Seeing that Hiss did not object, Garriman sealed the clay explosives in parchment, then handed them to him, and said: "When you determine the direction of the cave and still put the clay explosives in, I will inject mana into the time-delayed magic scroll inside the clay explosives, and the scroll will explode for ten seconds after it is activated, and it is up to you where it can explode." ”

Hiss of course said that there was no problem, although he was not a master of all military weapons like his father Andre, but heavy javelin throwing was his specialty.

After a slight calculation of the time it would take to fly the mud powder, he said to Garriman, "You can get started." ”

"Okay, I'll start counting down to three seconds, three, two, one, okay!" Garriman injected mana into the scroll, and the scroll with a delay of ten seconds was immediately activated.

Heathmer counted six seconds, and Anne was furious. Six seconds later, the muscles of Hiss's whole body tensed, and the fighting energy flowed with the movement of the muscles, and the mud glue explosives roared out under his throw, and a layer of fighting qi blocked the branches blocking the way in front of the mud glue explosives, and crashed straight into the cave, directly embedded in the rock wall.

The monster in the cave was alarmed by this obviously somewhat arrogant movement, and let out an angry roar, and the heavy footsteps clinked, as if it was going to go out of the cave to see what it was that had eaten the bear's heart and the leopard dared to provoke it.

Garriman motioned for the other two to step aside.

The heavy footsteps in the cave thumped twice, and then an explosion that resounded through the sky drowned out all sounds.

"Bump..... Boom ......."

Long flames erupted from the mouth of the cave, blowing the pine trees directly into the hole.
