Chapter Fifty-Eight: Something Underground
The three Joels, who followed closely behind Vins, all changed their faces when they heard this scream.
If nothing else, it's the screams of the man who leaned towards them that Corliss had just mentioned.
"What's going on......" Seeing that Vince stopped, and Joel and the three of them also stopped in the tree behind Vins, Titch asked the three with blue faces a little panicked.
The endless heavy rain poured on his face, not only did he waste more physical strength when he acted, but even his ability to think was greatly reduced.
Joel said with a somewhat hideous expression: "That person was targeted by the monster just now, if he didn't leave, he might be the one who would be killed now." The first thing I thought about just now was to hide and observe the situation, and we were still too careless!!"
Colis added in a deep voice: "At the level of monsters, it is easier to kill people than to kill monsters. In the future, you have to be more cautious, and none of the people who have survived until now are fuel-efficient lamps......"
Joel and Titch were silent, although the president had told him not to shoot at anyone before leaving, but now that the pressure of life is so great, many people are afraid that they have gone completely crazy......
Colis glanced at Vince as he spoke, and said with a little palpitation: "Thanks to Vince this time, we were just rescued yesterday, and we are really not vigilant enough in terms of guarding against people." ”
Vigilance is not enough, this is a lesson that is bought with life. The pain of the mutant tearing open his throat is still fresh in his memory, but he can't explain anything to his companions.
Reborn, mutated, and even felt himself in danger. If this news is spoken, he will never have peace.
"Let's hurry up, we don't know what kind of monster it is. If it's good at speed, it's a distance that can catch up quickly. Vince beckoned behind him, his expression not softening much.
He knew very well what kind of monster was behind the four of them, and he ran away with all his strength until he was exhausted without throwing off the other party, which was not enough distance for him to see.
The three of Joel nodded, all of them feeling that there was nothing wrong with being more cautious, and quickly left the place with their hooks.
Vince glanced up at the sky, and the foggy, gray, desperate death arena had quietly opened......
It rained heavily for days, and the monsters in the forest seemed to be dormant. There was silence all around, and the sound of dripping rain knocked on people's hearts. The four of them flew in the forest for a long time, and when Joel saw that no one did not speak, the atmosphere was a little depressed, so he sighed: "Thanks to Crick's hook this time, if it weren't for it, we don't know which monster would have died in the hands." ”
Colis nodded sympathetically, and said with a little emotion: "Although the speed and consumption are not as convenient as the Fengxing profession, after all, mine is a four-star ability, and you are very simple props. Abilities require rigorous training, and props can be obtained by anyone who has money. I have a hunch that sooner or later, the popularity of this profession will make those scholars worthless. ”
"But it's a good thing. Titch looked at the hook that was swinging around the woods and made his concluding remarks.
The atmosphere seemed to be a little more relaxed, and Joel said with a smile: "It doesn't have to be popular, I always feel that these low-level abilities of ours will not be able to escape the fate of being propped up in the future." ”
Corliss raised his eyebrows a little in surprise and said, "That seems to make sense, but I didn't think about it before." Simple and practical spells like fireball spells and ice shields have already been made into magic props, and now that Fengxing's ability has also been overcome, maybe in the future, not only low-level spells, but even five-star and six-star magic may be mass-produced!"
All three of them were stunned, and Collis's idea was too bold. If even a five-star, or even a six-star ability can be used by an ordinary person, what kind of scene would it be?
If you can do that, what will the world look like? The power will be controlled by you, and you may even be able to trigger items without using psionic energy at all.
Thinking like this, Vins was suddenly stunned, if it really came to this day, what was the need for the baptism that triggered the soul seal, and what was the difference between man and God?
Will it still be the world that the gods want?
Vince suddenly felt a chill.
Titch first longed, then came back to his senses, and said a little bitterly, "If there really is that day, we will never have to fight hard in the Demon Mist Forest like this again." ”
"I can't help myself......" There was also a bit of sadness in Collis's words.
The atmosphere, which had just improved for less than a second, seemed to be low again, and Joel smiled helplessly and said, "Don't talk about it that far, Mr. Collis, haven't you saved a single magic item after all these years as vice president?"
"Magic items?" Colis was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I have been working diligently all these years, and I don't have to go out hunting, so naturally I don't pay attention to these things. ”
"Then this time the situation is so precarious, you didn't go out to buy a piece or two of self-defense?" The two have become acquainted with each other for a few days, and Joel is now not going to dig out Colys's money.
Joel looked like a junior coquettish, which amused Corlis, and said with a smile: "There is really nothing." In the past two years, I have been busy taking care of my family while working hard, and my friendship with many people in the guild has faded. This time the monster invasion, I got the news not much faster than the others. By the time I realized I was going to buy some powerful self-defense items, they were all gone. ”
Joel nodded knowingly. Mr. Colliss has been in the position of vice president for many years, and it is natural for him to concentrate on taking care of his family because he knows that he is not strong enough to be promoted. This time, I will find Vince and them to form a team, and it is one thing to be embarrassed to hold people back, and it is another thing that everyone is not familiar with.
"Alas, money can't do anything!" Joel wailed, full of misery. "Mr. Corlis, you should usually hire two more bodyguards, and now they can come in handy, look at Ikar!"
Titch said a little strangely, "Aren't we doing this ourselves?"
"Like...... Kind of makes sense......"
The branches set up by the three major guilds in cities that do not border the Demon Mist Forest are mainly in the line of bodyguards. Even in the bordering cities, the bodyguard business is a very important part of the financial report. Like the Carryton Branch, which is mainly in the business of the Demon Mist Forest, the entire kingdom may not be able to find a second one.
The three of them were chatting happily, and Titch's face suddenly changed and he stopped on the tree.
"What's wrong?"
Vince, who had been on his guard, was the first to notice Titch's situation and stopped. Joel and Colis, who were in a much better mood, were reminded by Vince and stopped at the tree.
Titch looked suspicious, she didn't answer Vince's question immediately, closed her eyes and leaned against the tree, as if listening to something.
Titch was definitely a reliable companion, and the three of them looked at each other in a bit of confusion, and they all followed Titch's example and leaned against the tree to listen carefully.
There had been the dull sound of rain and Joel's conversation in his ears just now, and Vince pressed his face against the trees, and the world suddenly became a lot quieter.
"Whew...... Rumble...... Whew......"
The trees trembled slightly, and suddenly there was a strange sound similar to wheezing.
"What's going on?"
Not only Vins, but Joel and Colliss heard it too.
Titch's face was a little solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "When I stopped on the tree just now, I suddenly felt the tree tremble. It's kind of weird, so I listened to it, and you heard it, too? It was like something was gasping. ”
The three nodded, and Vince said a little confused, "I heard it, but it came from the tree, and we didn't stand in the same tree." What does this mean......"
Titch took a deep breath, her rustling voice trembling slightly, and uttered something she couldn't even believe: "There's a behemoth moving under our feet!!"
In an instant, everyone's faces changed!!This idea is crazy!
Joel's face turned pale, and he swallowed with difficulty, "Just kidding...... Moving underground, what level of monster can do this?!"
Colis was still sensible, and immediately spoke: "Don't panic, not necessarily. It's also possible that it's some strange plant!"
Joel's voice trembled slightly: "But how can plants make gasping sounds?!!"
Collis's face turned white, and he reluctantly said, "I'll try to use the Wind Country to scout the situation underground, don't rush to run around ...... yet."
There is nothing Joel and Titch can do but stare at Collis with a hint of desperation, hoping that he can pull off a miracle.
On the other side, the moment Titch said that, Vince had already taken out the monster report manual and frantically flipped through it!
Monsters that can move underground...... Monsters that can move underground...... With a glance and ten lines, Vince quickly searched for the records of the monster's habits in the report manual, but none of them could match it!
All the monsters that can move underground are either small species or some plants, and there is no big thing that can transmit the sound of breathing to the surface and make the trees tremble when they move!
A small monster report manual turned over in the blink of an eye, and Vince didn't find any clues.
"Bang!"
Vins reluctantly punched the tree, and finally escaped from the deviant's hands, and in the blink of an eye, he fell into a dead end!!The most uncomfortable thing is that they don't even know what the source of the threat is!!
The book turned the last page, a full page blank. A flash of inspiration flashed through Vince's mind, and a chill enveloped him.
On the other side, Joel also took out the monster report manual and flipped through it. Seeing that Vince didn't speak, Tiqi couldn't help but tighten his heart, turned his head to his eyes and asked, "Mr. Colis, do you have any clues?"
After a moment of silence, Koliss opened his eyes in disappointment and said, "I didn't touch it." The rain was so heavy that the earth was completely impermeable, and my country of the winds couldn't go deep underground. ”
Titch hurriedly asked, "How far have you got?"
Colis tapped the trunk of the tree, thought for a moment, and said, "About four or five meters." ”
"So it's at least four or five meters down......"
Teach's face turned even paler, what kind of powerful physique could a monster that could shake the surface of the earth four or five meters below......
