Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Beastmaster of Chaos

Liu Li sometimes really wants to give himself a mouthful, this is no longer a problem of the crow's mouth, the crow's mouth still has to be spoken, but he only needs to go through the thoughts in his mind to become true.

The location of the magic circle in Landoria's plan is to use the magic circle on the beastmaster's body as the main array, plus the auxiliary arrays in the other five places in the dark cave as the fulcrum, forming a cone, and under the effect of the underground repulsion circle, it absorbs other color elements in the dark cave except for the black element. The position of the five auxiliary formations was determined according to the invasion route of the "Chaos Element" provided by the Shadow Beastmaster, and was not a regular pentagon. And now, Liu Li, who was in charge of building the magic circle farthest from the entrance of the cave, and the "gray corner" and his party looked at the stone wall in front of them at a loss.

"Why don't you just blast it away, like you did with those unexplored areas you encountered along the way?" a young "Grey Corner" mercenary made a very "constructive" offer.

Of course, Liu Li wanted to do the same, if his spiritual power was condensed into a line, he could barely extend a distance of about ten meters within the stone wall. Although his spiritual power is still at the level of the second-order primary level, Liu Li, who is now able to cast red, black, and green spells more proficiently, even surpasses Winnie, a middle-level mage, in terms of spiritual power condensation, and is not far behind the other party in terms of exploring the thickness of the stone wall. The stone walls that blocked the road before were almost two or three meters thick in Liu Li's perception, and the thickest place was no more than five meters, so it was natural that they could be blasted away by spells on the premise of avoiding landslides. But at this time, the stone wall blocking in front of everyone, Liu Li condensed his spiritual strength and extended it with all his might, and even when he reached a distance of twelve meters beyond the level, he couldn't see what was behind.

"There's no way, dig it, Liu Li, you try again in a while, now at least dig a few meters first." In the end, Captain Owen decided to use the "stupid method" to deal with the problem at hand.

In order to deal with this possible accident, Owen specially sent someone to get the excavation tools in the Shadow Iron Ore Cave, which also came in handy at this time. Fortunately, there are a lot of warriors in the team, and the excavation process is much faster than everyone imagined.

The most outstanding performance in the process of digging the mountain is Lin, this Lori is like in battle, holding two small shovels and digging rapidly. In the flying sand and rocks, little Lori's movements are fast and precise, and a passage that can accommodate one person extends forward at a speed visible to the naked eye. If it weren't for the poor quality of the tools in her hand, which restricted her digging speed, perhaps the channel would have been extended faster.

So the current state is that Lin is digging in front alone, several other warriors, including squirrels, have widened the passage so that more people can pass through at the same time, Winnie and Max are in charge of lighting, and ordinary mercenaries are transporting gravel to the way one by one.

The thickness of the stone wall stunned everyone, more than an hour had passed, and the passage carved out at Lin's speed was at least more than twenty meters, but the rock in front of it was still solid. Liu Li would do another mental power probe every time Lin's tunnel extended two meters, and he had to give up after the fourth expedition when he needed to maintain a psychic communication network at all times. The consumption of mental power has reached seventy percent, and in order to maintain the combat power in the face of accidents, Liu Li has to rest for a while. And the task of probing can only be handed over to Winnie and Max.

After more than half an hour, Winnie finally brought good news to everyone - the thickness of the stone wall was only about eight meters. At this time, the road where everyone came had been paved with a thick layer of gravel. Liu Li, who replied slightly, felt uneasy again in his heart, he didn't know if it was his own illusion, under the lighting of the fireball inspired by Max, the rubble all over the ground glowed with a faint red light, the dazzling scarlet, and those that existed in the crystal clusters of the beastmaster's lair...... It's no different.

Under Winnie's investigation, there was still the last thin layer of the stone wall, which was less than two meters thick, and it was within the range that could be blasted open with a single spell. The tunnel dug by Lin, widened by several warriors, was more than enough to accommodate three mercenaries to pass through in parallel.

"Be careful. Just when Lin wanted to continue digging, Liu Li stopped her, "Get ready for battle, although I don't know what kind of situation is behind this, but to be honest, it doesn't feel very good." ”

Liu Li looked at the loli who turned her head to look at her, the dust mixed with sweat made Lin's cute little face look like a flower cat, and the short silver hair also turned into strands of sticking to her face, and there was a trace of doubt in her wide eyes, looking like she wondered why Liu Li stopped her from digging further. The girl who was still complaining with the squirrel about not being able to take a bath when she was exploring the dark cave before was now so indifferent to her image, and Liu Li was also speechless for a while. Patiently explaining the uneasiness in his heart, Liu Li finally couldn't help but hint that the current image of this Lori was not beautiful, and then what she got was Lin's scream. Fortunately, Liu Li has the talent of affinity for the whole system, although he has not mastered any of the advanced blue spells, but it is still possible to condense a water ball, and Lin, who has simply cleaned it, also benefited from this, and once again regained the appearance of a cute Lori.

"Liu Li, do you feel it too?" it was Winnie who spoke, as the strongest member of the Wells mage team, she could naturally sense the "chaotic elements" diffused around her. Blast through the stone walls without a problem, and if there is still a fight after that, Winnie is not sure what her best red spell will look like in this environment.

"Well, the battle is estimated to be inevitable, and the enemy that needs to be faced this time is estimated to be difficult to solve. Liu Li's expression was also solemn, although he was not quite sure about the number of shadow beasts he needed to face, he could clearly sense the most powerful existence among them, the enemy who was filled with chaotic aura and whose strength had reached the peak of the middle rank.

"It's going to be faced no matter what. Owen gently patted Liu Li's shoulder and comforted him. He knew that the young spellcaster was worried about the situation of the mercenaries, but the leader of the regiment, who had lived a life of licking blood from the knife all year round, knew very well that since as mercenaries, it was normal for them to be injured or even killed in battle. "Don't worry too much, we people in the 'Gray Corner' are not vegetarians either. ”

In order to ensure that Winnie and Max, who majored in red spells, can maintain a certain combat power in the upcoming battle, in this environment where the "chaotic elements" are pervasive, it is naturally more convenient for Liu Li to take action in such a trivial matter as opening a hole.

Summoning the "Return" in his hand, this weapon that Wells gave to Liu Li and has undergone his own transformation, finally for the first time in actual combat, purely exerts the effect of its staff. As a spellcaster, due to the limitation of energy, Liu Li did not spend too much energy on manipulation, specializing in holding spells and praying for spirits, in addition to the green spells conducted by the ancient tree of life in his consciousness, in terms of red and black spells, Liu Li mastered only a few kinds of spells. Among them, the black hole from Landolia is the one he has mastered best.

With the flow of the elements, Liu Li's spiritual power spread, spreading in the scythel handle, in the magic pattern drawn by Mithril. Under the amplification of the elemental crystal that had been transformed into a scythe on the "Return", a black hole with a diameter of more than three meters suddenly appeared in the tunnel. As the black hole slowly moved forward, the stone wall less than two meters thick dissolved silently in the black hole, and the scene in the huge cave behind the stone wall also appeared in front of everyone's eyes. It was a pair of red eyes with madness, and at a glance, there were hundreds.

At Winnie's prompting, although Captain Owen was not at all surprised by the existence of shadow beasts in the cave behind the stone wall, he also did not expect that this cave was so large, and the number of shadow beasts was several times more than he expected. He had thought that even if he needed to face a battle, the enemy might have twenty or thirty shadow beasts already in the sky, and at most a few more war beasts with higher combat power.

"Regiment...... Head...... Otherwise, let's retreat first and fight them based on the terrain. There was fear in Ciel's trembling voice, and the shield-wielding mercenary was already terrified. But no one could blame her, no matter who she was, seeing the hundreds of prime-aged shadow beasts crawling in front of her in the cave, they would not behave better than her, not to mention the thirty or so larger shadow beasts in the back, and being able to come up with a feasible plan so quickly would already prove that she was a pretty good mercenary.

"No...... Can't withdraw!" Owen gritted his teeth and rejected Hill's offer. "There's not enough time, it's too difficult to rush in after retreating now, and there's not much time left for us to set up the magic circle. ”

Owen naturally knew how difficult the battle he was about to face would be, but since the day he became a mercenary, he had been ready to die in the mission at any time. The only thing that reassures him is the group of boys under his hands, and I don't know how many of them will give their lives here after this battle is over. The people he brought this time are all the elite of the "Gray Horn" mercenary group, and if they are all folded here, it is still unknown whether the name "Gray Horn" can continue to exist.

"No, I just contacted the teacher, and we can't leave over there, so we have to rely on ourselves. When Liu Li saw the enemy he was about to face, he immediately informed Landolia of the situation through a spell. It's a pity that the Vice Dean is doing the final adjustments at the rejection of the magic circle, and there is no way to take care of this side for a while. And Wells, who majored in the red element, would be greatly weakened in this environment rich in the "chaotic element", not to mention, he also had his own tasks to complete, and its importance was definitely no less than the arrangement of absorbing the magic circle, so naturally there was no way to come here to help.

Liu Li's focus was not on these shadow beasts in front of him, even the war beasts simply glanced at them. What he was most worried about was the far end of the cave, lying on the stone platform of the predetermined magic circle placement point, the demonic beast that was even larger than the shadow war beast.

On the dark red scale armor, there are clusters of crystals that emit scarlet light, and the same scarlet eyes exude the light of choosing people to devour. It looks the same as the Shadow Beastmaster, except for its slightly smaller size, and the color of the hedron on its body has changed from black to scarlet. Liu Li knew that it was the new king elected by the shadow beasts eroded by the "chaotic element". The demonic beasts in the cave can no longer be called "shadow beasts", perhaps the name "chaos beasts" is more appropriate for them. And it is their king, the Beastmaster of Chaos.
