Two black-robed men came to the hall. This place wasn't much of a useful ground for them, it was more of a place they used to communicate collectively - and it would be easier to deal with it if they lured the snake skeleton here. In those complex passages, the snake skeletons that can move quickly on the ceiling, walls, and on the ground, only a white skeleton, they move silently, and they fight in those parts of the passages, but they are only killing themselves. These mages need space and time to cast spells, snake skeletons don't, they only need to knock and strangle the guards with weapons, and they can easily roll the mages up with their tails and drag them into the underground lake without a sound.

Compared to fighting in the passageway, in such a spacious space as the hall, although the snake skeleton will not be weakened by this, they can still deal with it normally. And in larger spaces, it's also a good idea to focus on attacking snake skeletons with spells, which will always force them back into the underground lake. As for defeating them, neither the two black-robed men, nor their companions, nor their leader, no one thought of such an impossibility.

If the serpent skeleton was a destructible being, they wouldn't need to defend themselves against these powerful, terrifying, and persistent monsters for a long time. As long as they can get them back and keep the tools and devices in the area functioning, it will be enough for them.

There is also a very characteristic thing in this place, which is a hole upwards, and the black-robes have tried to enter the hole above, but there is nothing, only a sturdy lid. Considering that it is actually a reservoir above, no one has thought of opening this thing, and God knows if it will be a large amount of water or countless bones...... Or the snake remains that don't know how to get to the reservoir above. Worse yet, it could be that all three would pour down and turn the place into a water area, which would be a complete disaster for their work.

When they came to the hall, the two found that it was filled with countless small balls of light. These are spells used by the old black robes to illuminate and track, and even if they are chopped up, they will disperse into smaller individuals. Looking at this situation now, some people are fiercely angry at this ball of light.

"All the light is gathered here. The old black robe said, and the tiny ball of light spun around him, and then spread out again, but no ball of light left the hall again, and floated in this space. "They should be around here, they shouldn't have run anymore...... But where?"

The ball of light seemed to have lost its target, and no longer extended in a line. The old black robe didn't think that the two little children would be able to evade his spell, if they could, then they wouldn't have been caught up just now, and then one was cut in the face, and the other was almost burned to the ground.

"Where else can they hide here?" the young black-robed man frowned, looked around, and quickly spotted his target. Rei lay near the corner of the hall, motionless. When he saw Lei, the young black robe looked back at his companion, "Let me ask a question: if that kid abandons that little girl and runs away alone, will your ball of light continue to follow that kid?"

The old black robe thought for a while before replying, "In a hurry, I didn't set a precise goal...... You know, this spell is very convenient, but if it's too casual, it won't have an accurate result. ”

Of course, the young black robe knew about it, he was also a mage, and he knew about this spell, although he had never liked such things that consumed a lot of mana. "In other words, it is possible that another big rat will be able to escape tracking. ”

"If he does get rid of one of those targets, it's very likely. The old black robe said. He initially used this spell to target Julius and Rei, and if one of them disappeared, it was indeed possible that these unintelligent things would stay on one immobile target and let the other go.

Of course, it's also possible that the other person is carrying some kind of magic item that can act as a shield, which is very unlikely, but not completely impossible...... As long as they didn't catch Julius interrogating him with any information, they couldn't be sure how he escaped.

The current situation is that the teenager abandoned a little girl and seemed to have escaped without looking back.

"Until just now, he was desperately trying to protect her. The old black robe said, "As a result, he escaped alone?"

"It's easy for people to change their minds, maybe he is finally scared, maybe she persuaded him to let go of his burden...... Or, the child is dead. The young black-robed man said, and walked over to Lei. Rei was motionless, and it did look like she was dead. This was not good news for the black robes, who wanted the death of two rats, not one.

The young black-robed man walked towards Lei, just past the hole in the ceiling.

Older people are not necessarily more capable than younger people, but as long as they are not a hopeless fool, then in terms of life experience, there will always be a little more than young people. The old black robe watched the young man walk to the bottom of the cave entrance, and a very bad possibility flashed through his mind, "Watch your head!" He didn't care if he was out of shape, and shouted to the young black robe.

If Julius hadn't left, if Julius hadn't abandoned Lei, if Julius had been in this hall...... Only then did the old black robe notice that most of the balls of light around him were actually moving closer to the ceiling, as if they were going to stick to the top. This is not the norm for them, so there is always a reason why they are the way they are.

Someone, probably in that hole, lying on top like a gecko, waited for a prey to appear in his field of vision—a prey that had taken the object he was going to hunt as a prey.

Hearing the shouts of his companions, the young black robe raised his head and subconsciously blocked his head with his hands. He had already made the best precautionary action in a hurry, and the protective spell on his body was activated again. This was the second time his protective spell had been activated, but the light on his body was fainter than it had been at the beginning. It's not something that works wonders if it's just used, it needs to be carefully prepared, and if you use too much, the items used to store spells will be lost.

On the young black-robed head, Julius, who was lying in the hole, leapt down, and stabbed him in the head with the broken sword in his hand.
