Section 024、More petrified snakes are coming, escape!
Dante helped the dwarven expert and began to walk outside the cave. He put his iron sword back into the pouch on his back, holding the torch in one hand and the dwarven expert in the other, and slowly walked outside. The dwarven expert had just recovered from his petrified state, and his body's sense of balance had not yet returned to normal, and his legs trembled and twisted when he walked.
There was no way, but Dante could only hold him up and walk together.
Dante asked as he walked, "Sir, my name is Dante, what is your name?" ”
The dwarven expert had not yet recovered his strength, and he began to feel tired after a few steps, and said while panting, "Me...... My name is Joseph, I am an expert in mineral exploration, and I belong to the Brotherhood of Thursilver. With that, he looked Dante up and down, and said, "Mr. Dante, it seems that you are a ranger who is skilled in swordsmanship." ”
"Hehe......" Dante couldn't help but feel a little proud when he was complimented like this, and said, "You guessed it." I have been commissioned by Monsieur Grandet to save you. I didn't expect everyone else to be killed except for you. What a pity. ”
"Alas......" said Joseph, as he walked forward with great difficulty, "I will tell you the truth, Mr. Dante, I did not expect that there would be petrified snakes in this cave. I came in with my bodyguards and was looking at the iron ore when the big snake came out, and then I didn't know anything. If you hadn't arrived in time, I guess you would have been eaten too, right? ”
Speaking of this, he flipped through the satchel he was carrying on his back and said: "Fortunately, all the important records of mineral exploration are in the bag, although this trip has suffered heavy casualties, it is not worth the trip." ”
"Oh?" When Dante heard this, he thought to himself, it seems that this dwarven expert has made a very good harvest in this mine, and he should have found a rich mineral reserve, right? Let me ask. Thinking of this, he said: "Mr. Joseph, you are an expert, I don't know minerals. Is there a lot of minerals in this hole? ”
"Many! That's a lot! When Joseph heard what he was good at, he began to have a smug look on his face, and said with a smile, "I'm so happy, this is a great treasure!" The Iron Ore Vein is stored very close to the surface, which is convenient for mining, and underneath the Iron Ore Vein, there is also a Mithril Ore Vein! Mithril is a good thing! ”
Dante nodded and said, "I've heard of it, it's a good thing indeed." No wonder Mr. Grandet spared no expense in sending so many bodyguards to protect you. He paid me pretty well. ”
"......Hmph," said Joseph, frowning, and whispered to Dante, "Monsieur Dante, for your sake, for your sake, I remind you that you must be more or less careful about a pure merchant like Monsieur Grande. ”
Dante understood what Joseph meant, and said, "Thank you for reminding me, I understand this." ”
Joseph shrugged his shoulders and continued to ask, "When Grandet offered you an offer, did it come from my life or death?" How much does it cost to go back alive, and how much does it cost to bring back a corpse when you die? ”
"Hehe......" said Dante with a wry smile, "you guessed it, he did say so." ”
Joseph snorted disdainfully and said, "That's right." Grandet is the kind of person who only needs to strictly abide by the contract and do not do anything more for him, because in his opinion, everything outside the contract is just a gift of friendship. All of my bodyguards died here, but he didn't care at all, he just asked me to go back with the information. From this, it can be seen. ”
"Well......" Dante nodded and said, "Is the business he is doing now?" ”
Joseph said, "Great, his company is called Grande Ventures. As long as he can make money, his company is everywhere, and he can even cooperate with demons. ”
Team up with demons...... Dante almost didn't laugh out loud when he heard this, yes, Joseph couldn't have imagined that he was right, that Grandet was working with the devil right now.
Just as the two of them were walking towards the entrance of the cave, Dante suddenly heard a slight voice.
"Hiss ......"
As soon as this voice reached his ears, Yuan Yong suddenly felt that his hairs stood upside down! He hurriedly pricked up his ears and continued to listen.
"Hiss ......" "Hiss ......"
That's right, it's the cry of a petrified snake! The sound definitely came from more than one place, and there were several sound sources! There are petrified snakes around here, and there are more than one!
It's probably a snake nest!
Thinking of this, Dante was shocked and hurriedly said to Joseph: "Mr. Joseph, there is the cry of a petrified serpent, do you hear it?" ”
"What?" When Joseph heard this, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly listened carefully, and then grasped Dante's sleeve and said, "Oh my God, I heard it too!" There's also a petrified snake here! ”
"Run!" Dante knew that now that he was burdened with this dwarf, it would be impossible to deal with several petrified snakes at the same time. Although the petrified snake just now didn't deal a fatal blow to him, it was just one. If several petrified snakes surround from all directions and shoot petrification magic from various angles, it will be difficult for even the Great Demon King to escape.
"Hisss ......" "Hiss ......" "Hiss ......"
The voices were getting louder and louder, and they were all coming from their heads. There are indeed dark holes in the upper layer of the rock wall of this mine cave, and those petrified snakes can calmly pass through the dark holes, and those who can only walk on the ground are fighting their own lives against a large group of petrified snakes in this environment.
"Run!" Dante was so anxious, not to mention the escape, he finally rescued Joseph alive, if he was killed here, 2000 gold coins would fly away directly, too unwilling!
Thinking of this, he wanted to pull Joseph and fly out, but Joseph's strength was still very weak, his legs were weak, and he couldn't run at all. Dante dragged him forward, realizing that he couldn't move at all. I had just helped him to walk, and because he had to stop and rest after taking two steps, the two of them had not yet reached the distance where Grande had planted the torch, and it was still in the dark!
"Rustle"
There was a sound of a rope coming overhead, the friction of reptiles as they roamed the rock wall! Dante knew that the petrified serpent had caught up, and that it was right over him. Judging by the sound, there should be 3 petrified snakes on top of their heads right now.
"Mr. Joseph! Dante roared, handed the torch to Joseph, and said, "Take the torch and I'll carry you out!" Don't look back! Joseph took the torch in a panic, and before he could say anything, Dante carried it on his back.
Wow, Joseph is really heavy, at least 180 pounds. With such a behemoth on his back, if it were an ordinary person, it would be good to be able to take a step!
Dante did not transform into the Great Demon King, but secretly used the power of the Demon King to help himself. The power of the demon king was really strong, Dante carried Joseph on his back, and although he felt that it was very heavy, he could still bear it, so he spread his legs and ran towards the entrance of the cave.
"Hiss!" The petrified serpents seemed to notice that their prey was beginning to move quickly, and Ziz screamed and chased after Dante and Joseph.
"Don't look backwards!" Dante was afraid that Joseph would not be able to help but look around, and if his eyes were hit by the petrified snake again, he would definitely be petrified again. To remove petrification, it is estimated that the snake that unleashed the petrification magic will have to be killed. If that were the case, and Dante would have to go back with a broken stone on his back to receive the reward, what would be the difference between that and carrying a corpse on his back?
"Poof" followed closely behind the nearest petrified snake and unleashed petrification magic on the two of them, and the blinding light illuminated the entire cave in one fell swoop! Dante squinted his eyes to minimize the effect of the petrification magic on him, as long as he was not directly facing the petrified snake's eyes, the petrification magic would not cause direct petrification, but would simply make the target feel dizzy.
"Mr. Joseph, close your eyes and don't look back!" Dante, worried that Joseph had been hit by the petrification magic he had just been hit and turned to stone, shouted at him, hoping that he would react.
Joseph replied: "I know, I have a bundle of detonators in my bag, which can come in handy now!" As soon as he finished speaking, Dante felt what Joseph seemed to be doing on his back.
Then, he heard a "hiss" sound, as if the lead was being pulled, and then something landed on the ground behind him, and "Gollum" rolled backwards.
Joseph exclaimed, "Monsieur Dante, run!" I threw the detonator out! Blow up these bugs! ”
"Hey, hey......" When Dante heard this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "How powerful is this detonator?" ”
"Uh......" Joseph stammered, "probably blowing up the whole mine?" ”
"What?" Dante was shocked when he heard this, for he was still a short distance from the entrance. If the detonator had almost burned out of the fuse by now, it would have been difficult for the two of them to get out of the cave before it collapsed.
"Wow, wow, wow!" Dante continued to burst out of the power of the demon king, and ran to the mouth of the cave with Joseph on his back for his life.
The hole is ahead! Even with the help of the power of the Demon King, with Joseph weighing more than 180 pounds on his back, Dante quickly reached his limit. Just when he almost rolled his eyes, "boom", a deafening loud bang came from behind him, and then he felt that there seemed to be a huge fist behind him, and it punched him hard, and the whole person flew out.
Estimating that it was even worse, Joseph lay on his back, was directly hit by the blast wave of the explosion, and also flew out.
The huge explosion of the detonator really blew up the entire mine, and the petrified snakes that were chasing after it were estimated to be either dead or disabled.
The two flew out of the cave wrapped in a large amount of rubble and dust, and fell into the open space outside.
"Bang Bang!" Black Wind, who was standing outside, was startled by the sudden explosion, raised his hooves and screamed! It soon saw Dante and a dwarf flying out of the mine, and hurriedly asked Yuan Yong telepathically, "Master, what's the matter?" How are you? ”
"Uh......" Dante was in pain, but he moved his body and found that he was fine, not injured. He spat out the gravel and dust from his mouth, got up, and telepathically said to Black Wind, "I'm fine! Immediately afterwards, he saw Joseph fall to the ground on his back, as if unconscious!;
