It looks like the aborigines have sent someone to deal with it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Stephen lost interest after a while, the radiation interference in the mushroom forest was strong, the scanning ability of Taling 1 would be weakened, and he was not a professional tracker. If he had learned the skills of the Wanderer, Stephen would have sneaked up on him by now. But an academic wizard obviously doesn't have the stealth skills to sneak behind without the other party noticing. Some spell equipment can enhance this ability, but Stephen doesn't have many items on him right now.

"Maybe I'll have to find a good tailor when I get back!" said Stephen to himself.

The high-end robes were custom-made, and Stephen, although versatile, was not really good at tailoring.

He returned the same way back to the gold ore vein, where no one had ever used the illusion, and after setting up some guard circles nearby, Stephen began to dig up the gold mine in a happy mood.

Half a day passed quickly.

It should be close to the early hours of the morning.

Feeling a little tired after a long day, Stephen sat down on the ground and raised the campfire to prepare food. This gold vein should be completed tomorrow, the basic purpose of his trip has been achieved, and then he can go back and arrange a magic circle to preserve the body of the white dragon, this white dragon should be enough for him to use half a year.

Rumble!

A slight tremor was felt.

"Huh?" Stephen stood up in surprise as soon as he smeared the roast with spices, and muttered, "It's from underground." ”

Bang bang bang.

Some rocks and powder slammed down, followed by some loud rumbling noises, and Stephen peeked around and immediately noticed that the passage to the north had collapsed.

"Who did that?" said Stephen with a frown.

The shaking of the ground gradually subsided, but the passage to the north seemed to have collapsed so badly that the path Stephen had first come from seemed to have been buried by rocks.

He thought for a moment, quickly finished eating, and picked up his pickaxe to speed up the mining.

"Whew!"

Half a day passed quickly, and when the gold vein was completely dug up, Stephen let out a long breath.

There was dead silence underground.

There was no sign of kobolds and rats moving around, and everything seemed dull and eerie. Stephen extinguished the campfire and began digging a tunnel upwards along the topographical map recorded by Tarling 1.

"Dig another 50 meters to reach passage 3. ”

Stephen looked at the map that Taling had scanned, then picked up the manuscript and moved on.

Bang!

In the empty and quiet passageway, some gravel and dust fell, and then Stephen's figure broke through the wall.

As soon as he came out, his expression was extremely serious, and almost instantly, a spell aura appeared in his palm, and the whole person also entered a combat state. He smelled blood, a very strong smell of blood, even ordinary people could smell it clearly from afar.

One by one, corpses appeared in front of him.

"It's those mercenaries!" Stephen cautiously walked over.

There were the corpses of six or seven mercenaries in front of them, and around them the remains of some toad monsters, these corpses were horribly dead, with twisted expressions and mutilated limbs, some of which had obviously been torn apart by extremely cruel means.

Stephen lifted a corpse with his foot and glanced at it, and said with a solemn expression: "It's all a one-hit kill!"

The time of death is not long.

These mercenaries must have been killed a few hours ago, and judging by some traces, they didn't react at all, and were killed by the enemy in an instant.

"Huh?" said Stephen and opened the body of a young man.

The other party had blonde hair and a handsome face, and as soon as he waved his hand, the emblem on the corpse fell into the palm of his hand, and he said in his heart: "Taling No. 1 body! Scan this emblem!"

"Start scanning!" said a cold mechanical sound.

After a moment, Taling No. 1 said, "Aboriginal nobles' family coat...... Belongs to the Dragon City Kelton Family ......"

Sure enough, it's not a mercenary.

The dead young man was obviously a nobleman, and he was also a powerful aristocratic family born in Dragon City, Stephen opened the body and fumbled for it, and soon found a bloodstained document. This is an order from the Dragon City Council, and a man named Date Kelton is sent to invite a wizard named 'Silver Hand' to investigate the strange events in the Dragon City mines.

"So, he's part of the team that entered the Mushroom Forest first?" said Stephen with a frown.

There were mercenary corpses scattered all around, and Stephen searched for a second corpse that didn't look like a mercenary, but this corpse had already begun to decompose, and as soon as he got close to Steven, he sensed some kind of evil remnant.

"Entropy?!" Stephen's face changed slightly.

This is a chaotic power, a kind of negative energy, and some spells of the Necromancy School can mobilize this power to directly cause organic matter to decay instantly.

The power of entropy is extremely vicious!

Some legendary spells that mobilize the energy of 'entropy' can directly destroy the soul of a person, and the chaotic nature will continue to manipulate the flesh to attack all living people frantically, and finally when the entropy light dissipates, the flesh instantly turns to dust.

"Did the monsters in the ground escape?" muttered Stephen.

..................

Mining area access mouth.

A hobbled figure walked out slowly, his steps looked a little stiff when he moved, and the whole person was hidden in the hood, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly.

"Who?" a hoarse voice sounded.

The staggering man pressed his hand to the decapitation sword and shouted into the dark corner ahead.

"Silver hand?" a slightly confused female voice sounded, followed by a middle-aged woman in a robe appearing in the darkness, an owl landing on her shoulder.

She frowned slightly and said, "Are you injured?"

Silver Hand let go of the palm holding the hilt of the sword, his voice seemed to be a little lighter, but still very hoarse, and he said slowly, "It turned out to be Wizard Ira. Don't you care about these things very little, and what's going on this time?"

"Some of the younger generations of the family asked me to come and have a look. Ella Witch walked over and asked, "How is the injury? Is it serious?" I have some healing potions here. ”

Silver Hand raised his head, squeezed out a smile on his somewhat hideous face, and said slowly, "I can't die yet." ”

"The following matter has been settled?" Ella Witch looked at Silverhand's blood-soaked abdomen and said softly, "Looks like you're not lightly injured! ”

There are only three wizards stationed near Dragon City.

It rotates every twenty years or so, and the Witch of Ira has known the Silver Hand for more than ten years, and although the two sides don't deal much with each other, the relationship is not bad. She took out a strange dark red potion from her body, handed it over, and said, "Drink it first." You're bleeding a lot right now. ”

"Thank you. The hoarse voice of the silver hand rang out.

Sonorous!

But just as Ella Witch walked up to him, Silver Hand suddenly drew her sword and stabbed it, and this attack was so unforeseen that even the powerful witch had no time to react, and was pierced through the heart in an instant.

"You...... Ahem...... Why ......" Ella Witch's figure froze in place, blood gushing out, and the greatsword came out of her body.

Silverhand raised his head, his face distorted and terrifying, his pupils a strange dark red, he pressed his palm against the witch's head, and with an extremely oppressive whisper, a wailing gray soul was withdrawn.

Then, he opened his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.

Thump!

The corpse of Ella Witch fell to the ground, and a strange sense of satisfaction appeared on the hideous face of Silverhand, which had been destroyed by the explosion of the experiment.
