Chapter 85: Rodent Eradication (2)

"It's a pity, if the nezumi can have a few ranged attack classes, even if it's just a beginner archer, your followers won't have it so easy." Lorraine came to Qin Lun's side at some point, looked at the battlefield below and commented.

"After all, the nezumi are only inferior humanoids, if they are intelligent enough to grow into a race with all kinds of professions, how can they be at the bottom of the biome in the dark regions." Qin Lun looked at the rats in the distance and pouted, and said disdainfully.

"Master Gillym, when will the signal be sent that their strikers have entered the ambush circle, right?"

"I guess we'll have to wait, the number of nezumi is a bit more than our burden now!" Lorraine said unconfidently.

Because he originally wanted to rescue the trapped dwarves, the exploration team brought by Gillim this time was stronger than the previous team, with more than twenty people, and in addition to himself being a legendary powerhouse, there were several middle and high-level powerhouses, whose strength was three or four times that of the previous exploration team.

Qin Lun had seen a few heavily armed warriors in the team whose arms were thicker than Elistin's small waist. Dwarven hoplites are different from humans and elves, who tend to move less quickly, while dwarven hoplites are faster than ordinary dwarves.

Dwarves are born weak with short legs, but dwarven hoplites have a "jump + slam" jump slash skill, which makes up for the shortcomings.

~This high-ranking dwarven warrior is a nightmare for all classes in close combat. They are heavily armoured and armed with heavy double-edged axes or war hammers, and once they unleash their jumping slash skills, they are as powerful as battering rams, and even the Apostles' team MT may not be able to withstand them.

"Almost!" The nezumi battle circle slowly moved towards this side, Qin Lun stood tall and saw far away, he was already at the edge of the mushroom forest behind the nezumi battle circle, and saw the dwarf who was outflanking in a roundabout way.

Qin Lun took out the "Wind Chasing Frost Weapon Box" from the storage space, and with a slight shake of it in one hand, the weapon box opened up into a World Tree longbow. He took out a dozen long arrows from his quiver and inserted them into the giant mushroom cover at his feet one by one, so that he could easily access them.

Qin Lun steadily pulled out the longbow and lightly pressed the wrench holding the bowstring to his cheek, the first arrow he chose was the Mithril magic arrow that Elder Adeline had created for him, which was to snipe one of the two priests of the nezumi tribe in the first place.

The Mithril Arrow, attached to the World Tree's longbow, slowly deflects with the movement of a nezumi priest. As soon as Gillym's battle cry was blurted out, there was a soft "boom", and the black Mithril arrow had already disappeared from the back of the bow.

One of the nezumi priests standing behind the nezumi encirclement showed an eggshell shield on his body, but it was accompanied by a flash of black light from the Mithril long arrow, "Bang! Its ugly head exploded like a watermelon, and the headless corpse fell to the ground with a dance of its hands.

The nezumi who was guarding it was still bloodied and dazed, completely unaware of what had just happened.

In just a few moments, a priest with divine abilities had been killed. Elven archers who wield Mithril magic arrows are the nemesis of all low- and mid-tier magic classes.

When the sound of breaking the air sounded again, the guards around the nezumi priest finally came to their senses. A big-shouldered, round-waisted nezumi roared and leaned in front of the other priest.

"Poof!" The long arrow from the height unceremoniously pierced through the chest, and the huge force carried the corpse of the nezumi and smashed into the priest behind it, and the two nezumi suddenly rolled into a ball.

"Moradin is on top!" The roars of the dwarves rang out in all directions, except for a dozen or so weaker dwarves pulling the nets in the outer circle, and Gillim and the other dwarves rushed forward, splitting the encirclement of the nezumi like a battle axe.

"Kill!" Weiss finally ripped off his disguise, and the pale bone armor instantly covered his body, and he pounced on the last priest behind the nezumi.

This time, there was no need for Mastacia to take command again, and the apostles, who had originally formed a defensive formation, rushed out in all directions. They never think they're under siege, they just endure to gather their prey around them.

The shield guard of Weiss's team took a deep breath, and another "war horn" exited. In fact, this kind of war cry skill was just a dull roar to the ears of his companions, but in the ears of the rat people, it was no less than a thunderclap, as if even his thoughts were blank for a moment.

After the horn of war shook the pile of nezumi in front of him, the shield guard flattened the tower shield in his hand and swept away. The ground-drilling cone at the bottom of the tower shield was like a chopping horse~ knife, cutting the three ratmen in front of him into two sections, and the intestines flowed to the ground. The other rat-men who stood a little closer also had broken bones and tendons, and they were not dead or disabled.

Mastaxia, the black-robed mage, and Ciel and Rand no longer hold their hands.

Mastaxia unleashed the archery technique that he had once performed in front of Qin Lun - Safari. The dexterous body leaped and moved among the giant mushrooms, and the longbow in his hand threw out patches of silver of death. Although the accuracy has decreased, the attack coverage has been greatly increased, and for a moment, almost all of them seem to be facing the shadow of an arrow symbolizing death.

Ciel and the Black-robed Mage's attack efficiency wasn't as terrifying as that of the Highland Elves, but in the panic of the rats' sudden ambush, their spells achieved better damage than before. Especially for the rat man who has been hit by the "Secret Word: Pain", it is even more difficult to judge the will at this time.

Rand no longer cooperates with the thieves at this time, and his tasks are heavier than the others. Because the lava ball has the largest range after exploding, everyone asked him to control the lava to block the nezumi's escape route, so that the nezumi can only run in the direction of the dwarf's main attack.

The only ones in the party who are free are the Monkey and the Priestess, who needs to protect her from the Ratman thieves. There are only a few nezumi thieves left in this battle, and they will be the final variable.

Qin Lun jumped off the mushroom's mushroom cap, and the World Tree Longbow in his hand had been replaced by a legendary twin spear - light and dark funeral!

He now has quite a grasp of switching between the World Tree Longbow and the Light and Dark Funeral. When sniping a single target and requiring mana breaking power, he usually chooses the World Tree Longbow with the Mithril Magic Arrow.

And in the time of chaos and chaos, he basically chooses light and darkness for funerals. Seriously, the Legendary Twin Spear comes with several weapon skills that are more important to him than bows and arrows.

However, the use of light and dark funerals requires energy points, and the World Tree Longbow consumes little energy in addition to the consumption of arrows, and a small amount of consumption is also due to the skill consumption of the "weak crosshair".

As for the ontological skill "Light and Dark Funeral", the power is not less than that of the Demon Breaking Arrow, but this skill is too dynamic and consumes too much, so it is not suitable for dark sniping, and it can only be used for strong attacks.

The battle ended quickly, and the rats collapsed as Weiss stood in the middle of the battlefield with the head of the last nezumi priest in one hand. Although there were still more than eighty of them at this time, this timid race was like that.

Once there is no hope of victory, they will choose to flee from the battlefield. This trick was invincible before, and the dark region was already the home of the rats, as long as they drilled into any of the tunnels, the chances of other creatures trying to find them again were basically zero.

However, this time was different, the rat people were caught in the ambush circle too deep, and with the fire nets laid by Lander and the dwarves' nets to block them, most of the rat people were left behind and turned into rat corpses.

Towards the end of the battle, only a little over two dozen nezumi escaped the hunt, and the others, including the two nezumi priests and all the mud monsters, became the result of the Apostles and Dwarves.

It wasn't perfect, but the battle had the desired effect. There were no priests among the twenty-odd nezumi, and no mud monsters could no longer cause trouble to the dwarves.

After the battle was over, Qin Lun had an idea and instructed the thieves to sneak up and follow a few ratmen who had fled to the lair.

They hadn't finished their work yet, and if they hadn't found the bodies of the previous group of dwarven explorers, Gillim would have stayed in this place for a while, and time was what the apostles lacked the most.

Qin Lun's idea was correct, after the battle, the dwarves really wanted to search the rat lair. If it weren't for the thieves who gave them directions and found the rat-men's food store, the cavern's extensive network of tunnels wouldn't have wasted much of their time.

After bringing out the corpses of more than a dozen dwarves, the exploration team casually searched the nezumi treasure house.

The nezumi like to collect all kinds of shiny items, and most of the contents of the treasure trove are worthless in the eyes of the dwarves and apostles, and they only take a few gems and magic cores.

However, when it came time to distribute the loot, there was a small oolong.

Gillie gave the gem to Weiss and the others, leaving the core and crystal. Perhaps in the eyes of the dwarven powerhouse, Weiss and others, as mercenaries, should prefer gems.

As a result, Qin Lun had to use the excuse that the mages in the team needed the magic core magic crystal as research materials, and exchanged these useless gems for the magic core magic crystal from Jilim's hands.

Even though these things are divided into one point, and each apostle can only get a few thousand broken crystals, it is better than nothing.

After that, the expedition team delayed for half a day to cremate the dead dwarves before they began to get back on their way.

After about a natural day, the exploration team led by Gillim finally stepped out of the mushroom glade plain and set foot on the dark area that had not been explored before for the first time.

After crossing the mushroom glades, the team's progress slowed down considerably. At each stretch of the dwarves, they had to stop and let a few prospectors in the group collect specimens of the rock formations and give them a vague direction.

This kind of guidance often needs to be repeated before the team can determine the right course. The exploration team began the boring exploration of two steps forward and two steps back. Sometimes, whenever Qin Lun goes to a place, he feels that he has already been there.

After three or four days of journey, the whole team looked exhausted except for the dwarves, all the other humans and elves. The apostles, who usually live irregular lives, can still bear it, but the three beauties of Elistine, Mastassia and Idria are almost on the verge of collapse. The curiosity at the beginning of the expedition has long been swallowed up by the darkness of the dark region!
