Martin felt relieved to see that his teammates were quickly reacting to his alerts and entering a state of high alert. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info Adventure is not a dinner party, you must have teammates who are capable enough to complete the mission to ensure ultimate success. And Natasha, as well as Shirley's reaction, was undoubtedly satisfying.

Martin and the others paused slightly, paying attention to the surrounding environment, a battle could happen at any time, and they had to be as prepared as possible.

As Martin had predicted, no matter how prosperous the town was, it would not have to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to build a high-performance sewer. This sewer is a slight modification of an ancient ruin that has been settled, and it just functions as a sewer. Between the dilapidated houses, ditches have been dug in what used to be streets, and sewage flows into the sea.

The sewer runs through this sunken ancient ruin like a black line, and the place occupied in the ancient ruins is actually quite small. On both the left and right sides of the sewers, there are large areas of house ruins hidden in the thick darkness. So, in fact, the place that Martin and the others really need to explore is not just near the sewers. For example, if you're planning to visit a city, you can't just walk around the central boulevard. At this moment, it is possible for the enemy to hide in any position far from the sewers.

Martin's current situation is different from Shirley's previous adventures in the sewers. At that time, Shirley and the others had a map to refer to, and at that time, they only needed to pay attention to the front and back and under the water because of the protection of the sewer walls in many places. But Martin's situation is very different now. On the one hand, the entire underground ruins are completely unknown except for a slight bit of information about the sewer area. On the other hand, enemies can emerge from the darkness anywhere. Every abandoned house could be a hiding place for the enemy.

In the brief pause, when everyone was on high alert, Zari gradually relaxed. Then he mouth-shaped Martin and said, "There is no danger at the moment." ”

Martin was not very familiar with the world of waves, and he waited a little to distinguish this sentence from the world constructed in his mind through infrasound reflection. So he immediately gestured to Shirley and Natasha.

They also relaxed, believing that the chemistry of their teammates had gradually been established in this coincidence team - in order to quickly establish this tacit understanding, Martin took time out of the journey to lead everyone to play a game of trust. For example, if a person is tied with their eyes closed and falls backwards, the only person who can stop that person from smashing the back of the head is her partner. (Originally, this trust game didn't need to tie up the participants.) But for adventurers, it's essential to fall safely and stop yourself from falling, so Martin needs to tie up the participants, otherwise it loses its meaning - that is, the dependability of his teammates to avoid falling is based on the reliability of his teammates. ）

Turning the corner, the team was not attacked in any way. But one only has to look at the terrain to see that Zali's caution is not wrong at all. Around this corner, vantage points to the vantage point where sneak attackers can take advantage of the fact that they abound.

After confirming that there was no threat, the team moved forward again. Although they raised their vigilance several times to guard against attacks under Zali's prompting more than once, they were not really attacked. Martin and the others walked safely down the drain to the end of the sewer: a gutter that drained into the sea.

"What should we do? Let's get ready, and then go to the unexplored part of the ruins?" asked Natasha first. This active girl is always aggressive.

"I'm afraid so. Zali replied helplessly.

"Now, anyway, this is also fighting on the home turf of your dark elves, so it shouldn't be a big deal. ”

"Stupid! We dark elves, though they are a powerful race in the underworld. But he didn't dare to despise the unknown underground world in the slightest. Listen up. A little girl on the surface. The underworld is far more brutal and dangerous than you might think. You don't know how many dark elves have been dragged away by ambushed attackers just by letting their guard down a little bit at the edge of the city!"

Humans and dark elves do not grow at the same rate. Although by the standards of the dark elves, Zari is still an authentic young girl. But when it comes to her age, it's not a good idea to call Natasha a little girl, even though she's only a few years older than Natasha. But isn't there always a girl in the human race who is only a few months older than you and asks you to call her sister?

Shirley, on the other hand, didn't say anything, just silently checked her gear. This academic mage is quite reassuring. The strength of academic mages is reflected in the amount of magic they master. Generally speaking, when fighting against mages of the same level, academic mages are often at an advantage. The amount of magic they were able to master was beyond the reach of many ordinary mages. What's even more rare is that the academic mages also have a lot of magic such as secret recipes that are particularly effective. For example, the effect of the spell "Fragile Skin" prepared by Shirley is that the stronger the opponent's natural defense (for example, the thicker the scales on the body), the more damage will be taken after hitting this spell. Ordinary nomako mages may not have heard of this magic that is extremely useful against monsters.

"Speaking of which, are you paying attention to a phenomenon?" Martin abruptly interrupted the conversation between Zari and Natasha.

"That is, along the way, there should be dirty water in the sewers, all kinds of garbage and waste, and so on. However, there are no rats. ”

"Mouse?" said Zali, confused. She wasn't familiar with that, as she was an underground dweller, not a sewer dweller.

"Yes, rats. Generally speaking, sewers are an excellent environment for them to live in. They come and go in large groups. This time, however, I saw no trace of the rat. ”

"Maybe it slipped ahead of us. Natasha said disapprovingly.

"No way. Martin said decisively. "I, a druid, when I'm careful and careful, it's possible that I can't see a mouse for a while, but it's strange that there are no traces of mice. ”

"But I can't think of that as a hint of what kind of enemy we might be. "I've never heard of any kind of underground visitors who can't get along with rats. ”

Anyway, the team set off again. This time, they were heading into an unknown area in the darkness.

This time, the situation is much more dangerous than before. After all, although the sewer part is dirty, it has also been recently repaired by humans. And what will be in the ruins that have been sleeping for I don't know how many years?

The team was still marching in the same formation as before. It's just getting more cautious. Natasha even had the urge to cover her heart so that her heartbeat would not be loud enough to avoid being detected by the enemy. Of course, this girl just had that urge. She still held the cold iron longsword that Martin bought for her in her hand, and fulfilled her duties in the team well.

Zali is still exploring the way in front, and Martin is still following in the back. It stands to reason that with the Wanderer's keen senses and Martin's sonic detection, they would not be in danger of being attacked suddenly. But they did!

Zali's nose is trained, but it's not a dog's nose after all. It was impossible to distinguish the enemy from the attacker when he had already mixed his scent with the sewers. Martin's infrasound reconnaissance, without careful observation, will only treat motionless objects as the ruins of houses.

So, when the ambusher pronounced a spell with one word, no one was defenseless.

The light suddenly rose, and at the same time, a figure burst out.

Daylight, a third-level spell. Although it can only emit daylight in normal times, it can't do the effect of flashing the eyes of the enemy's dog like spells like glitter dust. But at this point it was enough. The members of Team Martin, who had been in the dark for a long time, suddenly entered the normal daylight level of brightness, and the consequences were no different from the usual flash dust. And the attackers themselves probably took some measures in advance, and they are killing Martin and the others vigorously.

Whether it's Shirley, or Natasha, or even Zali. are all disturbed by this spell effect. However, Martin relied on his special way of observing and still maintained his fighting power. At the critical moment, he immediately stepped forward and used the scimitar in his hand and the gauntlet short knife to block the enemy's thunderous attack. Zari took advantage of the situation and rolled backwards, hiding behind Martin.

In the darkness, sparks splashed. It was Martin's scimitar in the enemy's sword encounter. After only a few strokes, the opponent forced Martin to retreat. Martin was amazed at the lightning-fast swordsmanship of his enemies. At this moment, he completely relied on the scimitar held in his right hand and the gauntlet short knife held in his left hand to defend with all his might, so that he could receive the enemy's attack in front of him. In terms of swordsmanship, the enemy's strength is no less than that of the old paladin Canion, whom Martin had encountered before.

The first to slow down was Zali. Regardless of the rumors of surface creatures, the eyes of the dark elves fear light. But the dark elves who are truly afraid of the light like sheep and tigers have long been eliminated by the struggle for survival - the dark elves are indispensable to mages, and the magic of glitter dust is a bad street.

So, despite the tears in my eyes, the stinging pain was incomparable. But the first to come to Martin's aid. It's Zali. I saw that she looked at the empty space, and with two swishing sounds, she sent out the crossbow arrow in her hand. Have them shoot into enemies at great close range.

Zali's attack came just in time, just as the enemy was unsheathing Martin's scimitar and preparing to slam him on the head. But he didn't expect to be hit by two arrows first. Although with his astonishing will, he didn't say a word, but paused. But it was a missed opportunity that allowed Martin to dodge the blow.

Martin at this moment is also extremely depressed. It is true that his martial arts are not bad. But after all, it's not a full-time hand-to-hand combat officer. His strength is more reflected in those powerful natural divine arts. However, at this time, he could only stubbornly stand in front and fight with the enemy whose swordsmanship far surpassed his own. Because Shirley and Natasha in the back are not in a good situation!

After shooting the crossbow arrow, Zari did not immediately join Martin's warband. She was sober, and Martin was able to resist for a while. However, if the enemy is killed from other directions at this moment, then Shirley and Natasha will be in danger. So, she paid attention to the two of them first, and it wasn't until Shirley unleashed her first magic that Zari threw her dagger at the enemy, ejecting herself into the enemy and launching a serpent-like assault.

This time, the opponent is clearly obedient. A deft dodge caused the opponent to be only scratched by the menacing dagger. Then, while the long sword in his right hand was cutting through Martin's scimitar, the guy blocked the short sword in Zali's hand with a small wooden shield in his left hand.

In this way, the attack of tacit agreement was defused. However, neither Martin nor Zali were impressed. Zari took three quick steps back, then flipped her wrist and flashed another dagger. Martin, on the other hand, took a step back while swinging his knife non-stop, intending to entangle his opponent.

After a few back and forths, Zali's assault was in vain, and Martin was fruitless. But they weren't worried. The enemy probably didn't have allies who could get there quickly, otherwise they would have begun to besiege Martin a long time ago. So as long as you temporarily block the enemy, then victory will always be your own. And a glowing ghostly hand that rushed over only added to their confidence in quickly taking down the enemy.

Some of a mage's spells only work when they come into contact with an enemy, but a mage who is not agile is not suitable for close combat with heavily armed enemies. Thus, the second-level spell Ghost Hand was created, capable of transferring terrifying magical energy to enemies in place of mages.

What is the spell that is attached to the ghost's hand this time? Is it the Idiot's Touch that weakens the enemy's ability to think, or the Ghoul Touch that simply paralyzes the enemy. Zari even had time to think about it.

Of course, she wasn't careless. She cooperated with Martin in her attack to cover the ghost hand. Yes, she and Martin's joint attack took the other side, but what about adding a ghost hand?

However, Natasha, who watched from behind, almost cheered. At the risk of being slashed, the other kicked Martin's scimitar side, causing it to deflect it, while blocking Zarie's dagger with a small wooden shield, and then smashing the ghost's hand with the hilt of his sword, which was almost touched.

A wisp of blood flowed from the corner of Shirley's mouth. She was injured. The destruction of the Spectral Hand means that the mage who casts it is devoured. The best she was protected and became the first to hang the lottery.

This set of continuous defensive skills, with only the slightest deviation, will fall to the point of no return. As long as the kick misses a little, Martin will cut his leg. As long as you block it with a wooden shield later, then Zali's dagger will complete the task. As long as the last action is a little slower, then if you are touched by the ghoul, I am afraid that the battle will be over immediately.

Now, the opponent's figure is already obvious in the bright light. It should be a humanoid, and probably a human. However, this will not be a reason for Martin and others to be soft. After all, the creature that murders humans the most is the humans themselves. The determination of identity mainly affects the choice of spells.

Shirley's third spell was also cast, and the effects of the human immobilization spell exploded, but the target resisted its effect with a superior will. At Martin's command, Natasha rushed with her sword and forced her enemies back two steps with a series of sword and shield strikes. caused Martin to withdraw.

Now the situation has become that Martin and Shirley, who have their hands free, cast spells together to attack their opponents. In this case, the opponent is also aware of such dangers. So he desperately rushed forward several times in a row, trying to interfere with their spell casting. However, they were stopped by Zali and Natasha hand in hand. Zali's vicious short sword even had a chance to fill a slight scar on the opponent's body. Surprisingly, the protection on such a formidable enemy is not worth mentioning. It's easy to be broken.

There's not much more to say about what happened next, and Martin and Shirley's spells raged in turn. Finally, after a lightning bolt struck, the opponent convulsed and fell to the ground. And from the rise and fall of the enemy's chest, it can be seen that he is still alive, only knocked unconscious.

Extremely vigilant, Martin stepped forward and used his scimitar to pick open the mask covering his opponent's face.

At that moment, Martin was shocked.

What struck him was beauty.

After the school trip, I made a little renovation and set out on a new journey by myself. A day and a night of driving took me from northern China to southern China.
