022 Mother of the Nest

"Bastard! What are you doing! "Kadian is almost crazy.

Three seconds earlier, Dornick and Blue had been standing alive in front of him, admiring the powerful machinery that had been resurrected by Lothar's hand. But now, the mangled bodies of the two men lay silently in front of him, dripping with blood that was still hot.

"We need as many men as possible in the face of the threat of the undead!" Kadian's pitch was raised. At this time, he wanted to use his vines to hang Lothar directly.

"Even if you hate these two guys, can't you wait until you leave the Ashes Mine before you make a move?"

"Hmm...... Let me think about it......" said Lothar, after a moment's silence, "I can't. Let these two ill-intentioned people live for a second longer, I can't wait. ”

"Damn it! You bastard son of the gods! Kadian cursed.

"What evidence do you have that they have bad intentions?"

"There is no evidence. I have inferences though. "Casting the right spell at the right time is the essential quality of a good mage. Dornick is an honor student at the Academy of Magic in Green Thorn City, and he will never fail to understand this truth. But after we had just escaped from Greenthorn, he had the fool of exposing our location with the Orb of Radiance. ”

Lothar continued: "When the enemy was drawn, they both immediately ran away like prophets. What's even more strange is that the two silver-tier warriors were indifferent to this, and they didn't even look at it. ”

"The situation was so chaotic, the battle only started to end for about ten seconds, and you noticed these details?" Kadian didn't believe it.

"I'm more observant."

"But these are all your guesses!"

"It's not speculation, it's a reasonable inference based on facts." Lothar corrected solemnly, "When I formed a field team to go down to the dungeon, I saw too many ill-intentioned guys. My judgment is the truth. ”

Kadian didn't pay attention to the unintelligible words in Lothar's words.

Now the fact is that Dornick and Blue are dead. Lothar, on the other hand, controls the powerful construct machine and knows the Ember Mine well.

He was the trio's best hope of getting out of this damn place.

So the forest elves wisely exposed this unpleasant topic: "When can we go?" I hope to be able to get out of the ash mine in two days. If it drags on for too long, the war will change, and our intelligence will be worthless. ”

"Ready to go. But why don't we clean up the corpse first? Miss Erin would like to come along, the loot will be shared with everyone. ”

"No, you don't." Erin said coldly.

With that, Lothar walked over to the unrecognizable bodies of Donnick and Blue, and examined them carefully.

Both mages' dimensional bags have pre-applied protection spells, and once the owner dies, the dimensional bags will explode themselves, spraying the stored items directly into the void space.

The storage bag was scrapped, but Lothar found cash worth about 500 gold coins from the pockets of the two men.

He took the 400 gold for himself, and left the rest for Kadian, barely soothing the frightened hearts of the forest elves.

Leaving aside the trophies that are better than nothing, at least as he walks through the Ash Mine Tunnel, Lothar doesn't have to worry about the ill will of the people around him. That alone is worth it.

Lothar holds the controller of the Blue Flying, a pale golden crystal ball. It senses the owner's consciousness and then gives commands to the build machine, which is very convenient.

Lothar knew that his barely restored Blue Fly would not last long, and he wasted no time, and immediately set off to the entrance of the passage.

The filthy black mud spread inward for another two or three meters.

As soon as Lothar stepped on the filthy black mud, there was a clattering sound in the seemingly unfathomable darkness ahead.

Countless dark green flames flickered in the darkness, slowly approaching.

"As soon as the carrion and bloodflower sensed our presence, they sent a bone rack to surround us." Lothar's face was relaxed.

Erin nodded noncommittally.

Uneasiness was written on Cadian's face.

"Follow me, all you need to do is deal with the remnants of the Blue Flyer." Lothar said.

His command was immediately transmitted to the construct machine via a crystal ball.

The massive metal behemoth let out a low rumbling roar, advancing step by step.

Boom!

When the first halfling skeleton touched the frantically spinning drill bit of the Blue Flying, it was immediately torn apart and scattered into a mass of bone slag.

It's like a pale flower blooming in the dark.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of this crunchy skeleton constantly exploding continued to sound, one after another.

Like a white wave, the skeletons rushed to the embankment without hesitation, and were smashed to pieces.

"Kill the halfling skeleton and you gain a bit of experience."

"Kill the halfling skeleton and you gain a bit of experience."

……

The same information comes to mind like a swipe. If Lothar's Tinder Law had a little bit to do with combat and the like, it wouldn't have been so meagre gains.

He pouted and continued to control the Blue Flyer out of the way.

In half an hour, the three men stepped on a ground of bone fragments for about two kilometers.

The seemingly endless skeletons finally disappeared from sight.

"We won the first stage. It will take time for Rotten Flesh and Blood to organize another army to destroy us. Lothar said.

He picked up his tools and began to overhaul the Blue Flyer.

In the first battle, the state of this machine dropped from 65% to 60%, and about one-tenth of the residual energy was consumed.

This result is acceptable.

However, the intensity of the battle will definitely be much greater after that, and he must ensure the condition of this machine as much as possible.

A quarter of an hour later, the trio was on the road again.

"At this pace, we should be able to cross the Ash Mine in the scheduled time." Cadian had seen the power of the Blue Flyer firsthand, and the worries in his heart had finally disappeared.

"If nothing else."

"Accidents? What else could there be like about it? ”

"There are also a lot of very, very, very powerful undead in the Ember Mines. Because it's so important, I'm going to emphasize it three times. "It's just that they're dormant for the time being, preparing for future wars." ”

Erin glanced at Lothar.

Compared to Cadian, who knew nothing, she knew what Lothar's words meant.

The great prophets of the White Tower of Truth had already seen the future of the continent when the long poem of calamity appeared. In the face of the bitter war against the undead, the White Tower of Truth must be as prepared as possible.

Lothar went on to explain to Cadian, "Now that the carrion and bloodflower is not fully developed, those high-level undead will not listen to its orders. So if we're lucky enough not to run into a high-level undead, then everything will be fine. ”

"In other words, if I run into a high-level undead...... Cadian said, a little uneasy.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden rumbling of the ground.

Lothar gave Cadian a blank look, eager to give him the title of "Crow's Beak".

"What's going on?"

"Rock Bone Eater." Lothar said.

The Rock Bone Eater is a giant undead creature that is over ten meters long. It is not aggressive, and its specialty is to drill and burrow, like a living shield machine.

In the Undead Scourge, the Rock Bone Eater was used as an engineer, setting the stage for many of the undead army's classic raid campaigns.

The carrion flesh and blood flower of the young body, the strongest undead creature that can command, is the rock bone eater. And Lothar remembers that in the Ash Mine dungeon, there is a random event that players hate the most, which is "Rock Eater Insect Infest".

Although non-aggressive, this bug will change the terrain and catch the player off guard and suddenly end up in another area. Then you'll have to face an unexpectedly powerful enemy.

Then there will be **, and the final outcome will be the annihilation.

At this time, Lothar clearly saw that the Rock Bone Eaters were constantly gnawing at the earth around them, causing their foothold to collapse rapidly.

He only had time to shout, "Stand firm!" I felt empty under my feet.

Bang!

After free fall, loud noises, smoke, and chaos, Lothar found that the upper mine tunnel where he was just now had been gnawed by a rock bone eater with a large hole, and the three of his own team plus a construction machine fell into the second underground mine.

"What does it smell like? It stinks! Kadian covered her nose.

Forest spirits who grow up in an environment where birds and flowers are singing and fragrant are not very tolerant of stench.

Lothar's face was a little unpleasant.

Now the air is filled with the smell of rotten eggs and rotting corpses, which is disgusting. And there was a low "cooing" sound in my ears.

He remembered very well that these environmental characteristics meant that they had entered the territory of the strongest boss on the second underground floor of the mine, the Mother of the Lair.

"Prepare for battle!" Lothar whispered, then hooked her finger at Cadian, "Get your Night Stalker Potion." ”

"This is what I'm ready to use at a critical moment!"

"Now is the moment of truth!"

Cadian reluctantly took out a night owl potion worth 50 gold coins.

After the three of them took it, they suddenly had dark vision comparable to that of the dark elves.

Then the forest elf exclaimed, "Oh my God, what a disgusting thing that! ”

About three hundred meters in front of the three people, there was a raised mountain of Roshan. Its skin is a waxy yellow color covered in red sores, and it is still oozing foul-smelling green water. The whole Roshan trembled from time to time, as if it was breathing. And what's even more disgusting is that Roshan is full of dense holes. There seemed to be living creatures in those holes that were slightly expanding and wriggling.

Lothar remembers that the monster designers at the game company were inspired by the lotus milk to create this strange undead creature. Even in the virtual world, not many players can stand this disgusting guy.

"The mother of the nest in the real world, more disgusting than I thought...... Interesting! Lothar smiled excitedly.
