"Subsonic alchemy bats! Captain Weiss, you are really generous......" Qin Lun and Hill couldn't hide their surprise on their faces.

Whether this thing has attack power or not, it is at least a purple gold item with a speed alone, and I am afraid it is worth a lot of money. Most of the reconnaissance items are easy to lose, and with such high-quality things, high-level apostles are really wealthy.

"It's nothing." Wei Si waved his hand inadvertently, as a high-level apostle, the resources he had accumulated were much stronger than those of Qin Lun and the others.

At the speed of the light sound bat, it didn't take much time to cruise the entire mushroom woodland, and this thing was small enough to get into the hidden corners of the mushroom forest, Qin Lun and the others quickly found clues about the trapped dwarf.

"Nezumen?" Looking at the image sketched by the light sound bat with ultrasound, Qin Lun and the others were full of surprise in their eyes.

"It's the Gasra rat monster, which I've seen in the books of the Santarim Society." Weiss's expression was much more relaxed.

The Gasra rat monsters are low-level creatures, and their only strength is that they are highly fecund, numerous, and violent in battle, and are not afraid of death. However, as long as they don't fall into their encirclement, the threat to the Apostles is not as strong as that of the large-sized Demonic Beasts.

There were about a hundred of them, and the most striking of the group were two huge mud monsters.

The Mud Monster is a mid-level monster unique to the Dark Regions, this thing has low attack power, but it has extremely strong defense [, immune to most elemental magic. If it weren't for the fact that they were slow to move and lacked the means to attack, I am afraid that they would be even more difficult than the high-level dreadclaw beasts that Qin Lun and the others had encountered before.

The large number of rat monsters makes up for the slow movement of the mud monsters, and the mud monsters are the best meat shield for the rat monsters. The two are so well matched that it's no wonder the dwarven exploration team can't bear it.

Now Qin Lun knew what kind of monster caused the depression on the dwarf's chest, and with the power of the mud monster's pounce, it was not unusual to cause this kind of wound.

I saw the rat monsters dragging a dozen or so mutilated corpses towards the left edge of the mushroom forest. Qin Lun and the others knew that the previous group of dwarven exploration teams were probably wiped out.

Compared to the previous dreadclaw beasts, this batch of low-level rat monsters made Qin Lun and the others feel a little tricky.

Unlike most underground creatures, rat monsters have excellent vision in the dark, as well as a keen sense of smell and hearing. Close enough to be close enough to hide the thieves' sneak from them, and there is no possibility of a surprise attack.

"Let the light bats hang them from a distance, and find the nest first."

Qin Lun and the rest of his companions discussed for a while, and then decided to continue to wait for the dwarf exploration team behind. There are such a group of rat monsters in the mushroom glade, and Gillim must clear the creature nest before he can move forward with confidence

……

After about half an hour, the dwarven exploration team led by Gillim finally arrived here.

"Prince Ferral, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Seeing that Qin Lun was safe and sound, Jilimu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the heart that had been hanging was also relaxed, they had already seen the corpses of the two dreadclaw beasts in front of them.

"Sorry for worrying you!" Qin Lun smiled and apologized.

"It's nothing, you're fine!" Although he didn't like Qin Lun's utilitarianism very much, Gillim was a bold shield dwarf after all, and now he had put a little unpleasantness behind him.

"Filar, you are so reckless, the dark area is extremely dangerous, even I dare not trespass!" Mastasha looked at Qin Lun with some resentment. In Qin Lun's opinion, the highland elf was probably complaining that he didn't bring himself.

However, Qin Lun didn't care about taking care of Mastaxia at this time, he now had another elf beauty full of anger to deal with.

"That...... Elistine, hehe~~" Qin Lun cautiously observed the expressionless elf beauty, although he had such and such relationships with several women, he was still not very good at dealing with this kind of relationship.

"Humph!" The elf druid gave him a hygienic eye, turned his head, and ignored him in anger.

Qin Lun sighed and touched his nose in embarrassment. Just as he turned around and wanted to leave, he felt the soft ~ flesh on his waist ache for a while, and he was twisted hard by the elf beauty.

……

"Nezumen? It's a nezumi! After learning the information that Qin Lun and the others had discovered, Gillie was shocked and angry.

As the heirs of the ancient Sannata Empire, the Shield Dwarves were once a type of subterranean creatures. However, among the humanoids of the Dark Lands, the status of the shield dwarves is completely different from that of the nezumi.

The Shield Dwarves were the most powerful underground rulers before the Drow Elves appeared, and even the few Eye Demons and Psionic Monsters were ashamed of.

The nezumi are the weakest humanoids, far inferior to the dwarves in terms of strength and intelligence. Most of the time, they are just vassals of other underground races. In ancient times, the Sannata dwarves also raised many nezumi as slaves.

I heard that the members of the dwarven exploration team were killed by the nezumi they looked down upon, and even the corpses were dragged away as reserve food. The dwarves, including Gillim and below, were furious, eager to kill all those rat monsters immediately.

"Our summoned bat has found the rat monster's lair, which is a rock cave on the left periphery of the mushroom glade......" Qin Lun informed Gillim of the light sound bat's surveillance.

"Let's go now, kill all these rat monsters, and let the souls of our compatriots return to the Temple of Moradin." Without waiting for Qin Lun to finish speaking, Lorraine roared angrily.

Gillim gave the dwarven prince a stern look, but did not say anything to blame, and in the heart of the dwarven legendary powerhouse, he was equally in favor of doing so.

"Are you sure the number of rat monsters is just over a hundred?" Gillie asked cautiously.

"We didn't let summoned bats into rock caves so as not to startle the snakes. However, based on the information detected by the bats and the information you provided, it is estimated that this mushroom woodland can only support 300 rat monsters, of which there will be no more than 150 adult rat monsters, and the rest are all old, young, sick and disabled. Qin Lun said thoughtfully.

"By the way, there are an unknown number of mud monsters!" Weiss added cautiously from the side.

"Don't worry about those mud monsters, among the exploration team members I brought this time, there are two Dumason servants, and they will control all the mud monsters." Gillim said unconcernedly.

The crowd was amazed and privately inquired about Mastacia, only to learn that Dumason was the dwarven god of exploration. The clerical is about veins, treasures, and exploration, and its attendants (priest-like classes) are able to control earth-elemental creatures such as mud monsters and mountain giants.

"In that case...... Lord Gillym, please let me and my followers join the fight as well! Qin Lun bowed down and pleaded, "I sincerely regret that I didn't have time to save your compatriots!" ”

"Well, on behalf of all my fellow shield dwarves here, I accept your friendship and help!" Jilimu's rock-hard expression relaxed slightly, and he glanced at Qin Lun deeply, "In the next few days, we will live and die together until we complete the mission given by the Dwarf King!" ”

No matter what he thought of Qin Lun before, at this point, he could no longer refuse Qin Lun to join the Secret Silver Hall Exploration Team.

As Gillym's words came out, a quest prompt sounded in the soul seals of all the apostles at the same time.

"Apostle 70053, you and your joint team have triggered the epic plot branch - exploring the Secret Silver Hall Mine Tunnel!"

[Explore the Secret Silver Hall Mine Tunnel (Difficulty Unknown): In the pre-side quest of the epic story 'Secret Silver Hall', the apostle team accepting the mission needs to help the dwarven exploration team led by the dwarf elder Gillum and the dwarven prince of Snow Peak, Lorraine, to find the mining tunnels of the Secret Silver Hall in the dark area under the World Ridge. ”

Objective: Find the real mining tunnel leading to the inner city of the Silver Hall, and ensure that one of the two plot characters, Gillim or Lorraine, returns to the surface alive during this time, and completes the mission after confirming the location of the tunnel.

Quest base rewards: 50,000 Broken Crystals, 20 contribution points, 1 Master Skill Crystal, 5 Broken Fusion Crystals, and 10 Soul Maximum.

World Exploration Reward: According to the Apostle's contribution to this mission, the stay time will be increased by one natural month, and the timer will start immediately. Because Apostle 70053's Black Iron team has increased the stay time by one time, once this quest is completed, it will automatically return to the Shattered Sky within three days.

Note: There is no competing team for this story mission, you can share the task with other Apostle teams, and the Blood Cube will not drop after the Apostle dies in non-kill mode.

Hint: If the completion rate of this quest is above 90%, there is a certain chance of generating a World Token, so that the Apostle can rejoin the plot of the Secret Silver Hall in the future. 】

Qin Lun and the others were overjoyed, they finally received the task before their stay was exhausted!

Even though it's just a precursor to the epic, the quest rewards are still generous. Compared with the previous "Star and Moon Alliance", the upper limit of the life soul given by this task is a little less, but the master skill crystals and contribution points are compensated.

The most important thing is that they have the opportunity to get the world token again, which is a surprise.

"The length of stay has increased by a month, is it still a long way from the mining tunnels of the Secret Silver Hall?" Looking at the other companions with happy expressions, Qin Lun frowned slightly.

Judging from the distance displayed on the surface, in fact, the dwarven camp is very close to the Secret Silver Hall, not counting the mountain road, and the straight-line distance is not even a hundred kilometers. Thinking about it this way, even if the dark area is a three-dimensional space, after all, the dwarves have been exploring for nearly four months, and it stands to reason that they should be almost near the mining area.

"Unless the dark area that the dwarves are exploring now can't connect to the Secret Silver Hall mining area at all, and they need to find other surface rifts again, otherwise, ......" Qin Lun had a faint trace of worry in his heart. I1292
