Chapter Twenty-Seven: Disappearing into Thin Air

When Shuer came back to his senses from the dizziness of space magic, he found that he was already on the edge of the camp, and there was no threat around, but the melee professions were still cautiously guarding the periphery, this is the professionalism of the mercenaries, and now because all the defensive forces in the camp were transferred to the shelter to defend, they no longer belong to the safe area, and they must take defensive measures at any time, this is not something that can be made up casually, I don't know how many powerful warriors in history died of the raid of the monster because they ignored the changes in the safe area.

"Everybody is in place. Shure then gestured to Mia with his eyes, and it was obvious that my task had been completed, and it was your turn to take over.

"You continue. Unexpectedly, Mia shook her head and said, "The question of command will be discussed after this battle is over." ”

"You're really lazy. Shur sighed, it was not something to be happy about suddenly taking responsibility when he didn't need it, but he wasn't one to shirk responsibility, so he shrugged his shoulders and was about to say something, when the ground under his feet suddenly shook violently.

The effect was like an earthquake, making everyone's body a little unstable, not only people, not far away, the houses in the camp were shaking, followed by a loud noise, a cloud of smoke and dust rose from the excavation site, and the masonry and rubble rushed into the sky like a jet, and crackled and fell around like rain.

In the energy perception, it can be clearly felt that a huge energy erupts violently from the location of the magic tower, and the violent magic energy is like the light of annihilation, almost destroying everything around, even the edge of the excavation site, has collapsed partially, fortunately, the ruins of the ancient city are located underground, otherwise the power of the explosion is enough to destroy the entire camp.

"Tut-tut, how is that big spider?" Dark, who has experienced many real wars with the mercenary group and is accustomed to seeing big scenes in various missions, was the first to recover from the shock of the explosion, "An explosion of this magnitude should be able to kill it." ”

"Not necessarily. Shure was no slower to recover than Dark, "You and I can't do this kind of damage with all our best efforts, but Mia and Yuri should be able to, well, if we burn life potential, what do you think?"

"It's hard to say, but if you destroy a few magic guides on me, it's fine. The noble and elegant beautiful wingman flapped his wings, "The magic guide on us ordinary winged people is not a good thing, and it can cause damage on this scale, and some of the better magic guides will be much more powerful when detonated than now, but ......"

"But you can't activate your strength, can you? ”

"No, no, no, I mean, but those are too rare for ordinary wingers like me to afford. ”

"Oh, that's ordinary. Xiuer didn't bother to talk about the ordinary wingman, so he directly ignored her explanation and said to Dark, "So, this explosion is at most the top gold-level scale, and if you want to completely kill the Legendary Rank Demonic Beast, I'm afraid it's still this point, anyway, go over and take a look." ”

This is the most direct way, there will definitely be no objections, and now I can't bother to check the situation of the more than 100 people in the ordinary mercenaries and excavation teams, if we don't dispose of the mutant spider mother first, everyone will be finished.

However, when the ten men ran to the edge of the excavation site, everyone was stunned.

The magic tower below is gone, and the location of the magic tower has been blown out of a deep pit, and the remains of the tower body have been sprinkled all over the entire area of the excavation site, and from the rubble, you can still see the stumps and flesh of many small spiders. Everyone had expected this scene before it came, and Mia was still glad in her heart, fortunately she had let Miridi move everything out of the magic tower first, otherwise she would have lost everything this time. So this is not unexpected, what is really surprising is that there is nothing in the pit, and there is no shadow of the mutant spider mother in sight.

It's weird.

The magic tower did not collapse, but was blown away, and the debris was scattered everywhere instead of piling up in place, look at the excavation site, although it was covered with a thick layer of rubble, but it was not thick enough to hide the body of the mutant spider mother. The mutant spider mother is extremely large, and even if she lies down against the ground, her body is three or four meters tall, but there is no gravel three or four meters behind her.

And when there was an explosion, everyone turned their eyes for the first time, and they didn't see the body of the spider mother being blown up into the sky, it stands to reason that it should still be in the pit, but now it is gone.

There are only two reasons to explain it, for a moment it crawled away and hid on its own, but it was blown to pieces, but when you think about it, neither reason is tenable.

With the size of the mutant spider, there is no hiding space in the excavation field, the big family is condescending, and the excavation field can be seen clearly, unless it digs a hole and burrows into the ground, it will be found wherever it hides, as for really burrowing into the ground? Don't joke, such a large size, it will take a long time just to dig a hole.

And it is even more impossible to be blown apart, even if you ignore the hardness of its carapace, assuming that the explosion can really blow it up, the problem is still in its size, the size is large, the fragments must be large, the surface of the ruins of the ruins, even the limbs of the little spider can be seen a lot, its large fragments, it is inevitable that some of them will be exposed, however, no.

The mercenaries looked at each other, which is interesting, where the hell did it go?

Looking at the devastated excavation site, Shuer slapped his thighs and was silent for a few seconds, his face suddenly changed, his face clenched his fists with a gloomy face, and he said in a calm tone: "Let's go, go to the shelter first to see the situation, I hope that it will not be affected over there." ”

The so-called shelter is actually in the camp, a fortification built five meters underground, made of rock dug around the excavation site, the walls are very thick, enough to block most of the impact, the space inside is not too large, but it can accommodate a hundred or so people.

"Woooooooo As soon as he moved, Duck sounded the horn of communication, in fact, the two sides were not far apart, only two or three hundred meters, but there were many buildings in the middle, which could not be seen directly, and could only communicate by sound.

The clarion call that soon came back made Shuer's hanging heart relax a lot, and two of Dark's subordinates and ordinary mercenaries stood outside the shelter, since they answered normally, there was no problem on the side of the shelter.

Sure enough, bypassing a few buildings, you can see from a distance around the exit of the shelter, the mercenaries have already built temporary bunkers and are guarding behind the bunkers in batches, and the mercenaries are actually very worried now, especially the explosion just now, which makes them even more worried.

It's not that they're worried about the safety of these high-level mercenaries, they don't care about the lives of these strong people, and it's not their turn to worry about the strong ones, what they're worried about is that if Mia dies in the explosion, no one will pay them, and they will be in trouble. Of course, there is another point, what does it mean for these strong men to behave like a great enemy, and the mercenaries also know in their hearts, if the strong ones are dead and the enemy is not, then they are the next batch.

Therefore, when they saw the high-level mercenaries returning intact, everyone let out heartfelt cheers, as for whom it was another matter.

"Call everyone inside, hurry. Shuer's expression was very calm, but the speed of his speech was significantly faster, as if he was racing against time, "The number is not right, Dark, let your people report the situation." ”

"Now it is under the supreme command of Shuer. Mia added in time, "His orders are leisurely. ”

Hearing Mia's addition, the mercenaries were puzzled and sent a representative to go into the shelter to call for someone.

"Saker. Dark, like Shuer, also discovered the number of people at the first time, fifty-two ordinary mercenaries, and now there are only more than thirty people present, he also wants to know, where the rest of the people have gone, "What about those people?"

"Huh, Captain, you don't ......" The black-armored knight known as the Saker is also a high-ranking knight of the silver rank, and he can be regarded as a veteran member of the dark mercenary group, so he just subconsciously said half a nonsense before he came to his senses, slapped heavily on the helmet, and responded loudly, "Return, six minutes ago, several professional members of the excavation team went out with a group of workers, and they asked to separate some mercenaries to protect their safety, we are not qualified to stop them, we can only cooperate with them to send troops." ”

Uh, it's out? What the hell is that. Shure, Dark, and Mia looked at each other and gritted their teeth in secret.

"Be detailed. Fighting back the anger in his heart, Duck asked, "Where have they gone, and you are not qualified to stop them?"

"It's Mia-sama's mage assistant leading the team, and we really can't stop it. The visor concealed the wry smile on the Saker's face, "They said that they were worried about the destruction of the things they had brought out of the magic tower, so they insisted on bringing them back as soon as possible. ”

"Can't they just wait?" Mia couldn't help but scold, but as soon as Saker said it, the three of them almost understood in their hearts.

It was clear that six minutes ago, the energy intensity in the mana pool was getting higher and higher, and the possibility of an accidental explosion was increasing. Although the Vault and the Magic Tower were a few hundred meters apart, the mages in the Vault must have been aware of such a high energy response. Although they didn't know what was going on inside the magic tower, it was clear that there was a likely energy explosion, and it was the instinct of these scholars to protect the excavated artifacts, and it was indeed a bit difficult for them to sit back and watch the artifacts be destroyed.

So, a pair of scholars set off with porters and guards, not wanting to enter the magic tower and cause chaos for the mercenaries, but only to move things around the excavation site to avoid destroying the artifact in case of an explosion. Anyway, the distance is not far, only one or two hundred meters, and I will be back in a few minutes, and I will bring a lot of guards, which is not an adventure, but it is understandable.

But what about people?

Especially after the people inside came out, after carefully counting, there were seven fewer scholars, twenty-four fewer ordinary workers, and sixteen fewer mercenaries, and the high-level mercenaries didn't meet them all the way, and nearly fifty big living people disappeared out of thin air.
