"Squeak—" A short, shrill voice sounded, and the young warrior saw a long, narrow black monster fall in front of the figure.

When he looked closer, he realized that it was a black bat, and when he looked up, he realized that this figure was the patriarch of his own family.

Wiping the cold sweat on his head, the warrior still had palpitations in his heart, if the patriarch hadn't arrived in time, his own life would have been handed over to this monster.

"Thank you for the life-saving grace of the patriarch. He bowed his hand in gratitude.

"Let's get back to the line first. Li Chen waved his hand without looking back.

"Well, that's—" The young warrior hesitated.

Li Chen looked back at him in confusion, and found that when his gaze was still on the large piece of black veined stone, he couldn't laugh or cry.

This kid is still thinking about this.

"You go and talk to Huyan yourself, don't worry, you find that the credit for this is on you. ”

"Thank you, Patriarch!" The young man's face was a little red, and he was just about to turn around and leave, when he heard Li Chen's next words.

"Don't leave the group, and tell the other four people by the way. ”

"Yes!"

The young warrior's heart tightened, and he agreed.

As soon as he left, Li Chen looked seriously at the black bat under his feet that was killed by his sword, with surprise on his face.

"This black bat... It's a bit big!"

After the black bat died, it landed on its stomach, and its wings were also flat on the ground, so Li Chen could see the length of its body at a glance.

After the wingspan, it's nearly two meters! That's the height of an adult!

In addition to its bat wings, its body is also large, almost the size of an adult cat in a previous life.

"I don't know how many ...... this black bat has in this hole."

Li Chen muttered to himself, but although he said so, he almost had a premonition in his heart, in this swarthy cave......

There should be many, many of these black bats.

No evidence, just intuition.

Li Chen was a little unsure whether to trust his instincts.

Shaking his head and not thinking about it anymore, Li Chen walked in front of the large piece of black-veined stone found by the warrior, and with a wave of his big hand, the ore disappeared in an instant.

He looked at the task.

......

Quest Collection Progress: Black Stone: 12/15 Black Armor: 0/15

......

Li Chen was stunned when he saw this, and then his face became cloudy.

This amount... We're almost done.

He originally planned to come this time just to explore the situation, and when he was almost done, he would complete this task again and completely, but now that the progress was fast, and there were only 3 units of black stripe stone left from the final goal, Li Chen immediately hesitated.

It's just three... Do I have to go back and prepare and wait for the next time?

He thought for a moment, then looked back at the situation of the people behind him, and after finding that everyone was fine, the thought in his heart became more and more firm.

"Forget it, there are three left, what are you going back to do! Anyway, the condition of the soldiers is intact, and the situation will not change next time, so let's just complete this task now!"

"And judging by the frequency of collecting this ore, maybe it will only take a while to collect it, and then it will be good to leave!"

Li Chen gritted his teeth and made up his mind in his heart!

He returned to the team and led the group to continue to explore cautiously.

......

Li Chen thought that as long as it took a while, they would be able to collect all the black vein ore and quickly get out of the cave. But sometimes the real world likes to joke with people, and the more people want something, the more the real world will give you nothing.

As a result, Li Chen and the others then cautiously advanced nearly 100 meters and killed 13 black bats, but they only obtained one unit of black veined stone!

This harvest made everyone scold their mother, and at the same time, they were also a little frightened!

Wrong!

It's so wrong!

It stands to reason that as the depth of the mine gets deeper and deeper, the probability of finding ore should be more and more, right, what is the matter with only 1 unit of ore collected after walking 100 meters?

And everyone also felt that they were getting closer and closer to the real black bat swarm, because the frequency of their killing of black bats just now was higher and higher.

Li Chen and the others were worried and decided to walk another 50 meters and retreat. At the same time, they are walking more and more carefully!

"Patriarch, you see there's something ahead. ”

Huyan suddenly pointed to more than 20 meters in front of him and said.

"I saw it. ”

Li Chen squinted his eyes and nodded, and at the same time gestured for everyone to stop.

He wanted to carefully observe what that thing was, but the light in the cave was very dim, and Li Chen only saw that it seemed to be a boiler platform after looking at it for a while.

Boiler platform?

Li Chen squinted his eyes and turned to look around the 'platform', looking for some clues.

"Huh?" his eyes moved, and he found a few things.

"That's... Hammers? There are other sizes of hammers. ”

"That's supposed to be fire tongs..."

"That's... I don't know. ”

Li Chen touched his chin and frowned in thought.

"Army, Black Streak..."

"Hammers, fire tongs..."

"Yes, is that the one?"

His eyes lit up and he thought of something.

After thinking about it for a while, I was even more excited!

"If it's as I thought, then the task is completely solved!"

"I hope it's as I expected, or I can't think of any other way. He whispered one last time, then turned to look at the group.

"Wait here for me, I'll take a look. ”

He said seriously.

"Patriarch, we can go too!"

"Patriarch, it's too dangerous for you to go alone, let's go over together!"

......

When the young warriors heard this, they immediately became excited and said that they would go with them.

"Patriarch, it's too dangerous to explore alone, why don't I go with you, although I can't compare to you, patriarch, but I'm also a human rank triple heaven. ”

Hu Yan also said solemnly.

Li Chen waved his hand and looked at the darkness in the depths of the cave.

"The owner of this black bat cave is not surprisingly the black bat that attacked us just now. ”

"Although this black bat's physical defense is weak, its lethality and speed are amazing. I'm especially good at speed, and I'm comfortable with them. And your fighting style is really not suitable for fighting these guys, so it's better to protect me in the back, so that I can rest assured that I don't have to worry about enemies on all sides. ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and their faces became ashamed.

Although Li Chen's words were very tactful, as long as normal people could hear the inner meaning: Don't come with me, otherwise not only will you not be able to help me, but you will also distract him.

Everyone stopped talking, but they also secretly swore in their hearts that after they went back, they must work hard to become the right hand of the patriarch, instead of just watching the patriarch walk in front alone and resist everything.

Li Chen didn't expect everyone to think about it so much, and after he finished speaking, he saw that everyone didn't react, so he walked directly to the location of the suspected 'boiler platform'.

At a distance of more than twenty meters, there were no accidents unexpectedly, but what surprised Li Chen was that he didn't know what the reason was, the closer he was to the platform, the more he could feel the increase in the temperature around him, and when he walked to the platform, his forehead was faintly sweating.

"What's going on?" he looked at the dusty cuboid platform in front of him, a little surprised. Because he felt that the heat source of the surrounding temperature was emitted by this old platform.

But how is it possible? How can something from more than 40 years ago still burn?

The growing tension in his heart made him not waste much time on this issue, and Li Chen looked directly at a broken white bone skeleton leaning against the platform.

The white skeleton was dressed in tattered cloth, the bones of his limbs had disappeared, and his upper body was reclining on a stone chair, his mouth wide open, as if he had suffered great pain before he died.

As for what is this great pain......

This tattered cloth dress is enough to say it all.

He shook his head, not thinking deeply.

"Now it's up to me to guess right. Li Chen took a deep breath and said.

"system, activate the will transformation function. ”

"Search the will in front of me!"

He cried out in his heart!

"Yes!"

The system's voice responded without a tone.

"A search for the host's will is underway. ”

"Discover the will of the human-level soldier 'Chen Yuan'!"

"Discover the will of the human-level soldier 'Marchand'!"

"Discover the will of the human-level soldier 'Qian Fangzheng'!"

"Discover the will of the human-level soldier 'Zhao Yuan'!"

"Discover the will of the Ground Tier Armor Master 'Ma Zheng'!"

"Discover the Human Ladder..."

"Wait, wait!" Li Chen suddenly reacted and hurriedly stopped!

The system paused.

"Has the host determined the will to transform?"

"Wait. ”

Li Chen was a little stunned, when he reported those wills systematically, he didn't react to them just now.

He said that it was the will in front of him, why did there still be so many wills?

But the next second he reacted, and the system said that it might be the soldier who died with this guy.

It seems that this guy is quite important, and he still wants to protect her at that time.

Li Chen can imagine the scene when a swarm of bats comes.

Shaking his head embarrassedly, Li Chen said to the system, "Let me see the will of that level." ”

The system didn't speak, and went straight to the 'dish'.

......

"Black Stripe Suit..."

After Li Chen looked at the overview of the abilities in this Ma Zheng's information, he really wanted to laugh!

It's really effortless, haha!

"The system will convert him for me!"

"Yes!"

"You spent 100 points of Heavenly Dao Power. ”

"Transforming Ma Zheng..."

Seeing a ray of chaotic colored light fly out from the center of his eyebrows, he flew onto the body of the corpse, slowly lingering. At the same time, a tall transparent humanoid figure that appeared as if it were nothing was also gradually manifested in this chaotic point of light.

Seeing this, Li Chen turned his head and stretched out his scissor hand to everyone, smiling, but saw them looking behind him with shocked faces.

"Eh, how did you .....?"

He reacted and shut up!

Don't dare to move!
