Chapter 331: A New Trap
After about fifteen minutes, Benjamin lifted the spell. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe entire Ice Tomb is scattered like a bubble in the dark night, turning into a water element, and returning to this silent forest.
Edmund was guarding the side with a few other mercenaries, and suddenly, he felt a cold wind mixed with the smell of corpses blowing in his face, and he couldn't help but shiver.
And when they looked up again, the magnificent tomb was gone.
Seeing this scene, they were all stunned.
"Your Excellency...... Have you already dealt with them?"
They hesitated and headed inside. I saw that the originally dense camp was only a heavy dead air after experiencing the baptism of the ice giant tomb. Hundreds of corpses were scattered all over it, and it was called a dense one, and it made people's scalps tingle.
Not only that, but each of the corpses in it was like a frozen corpse dug out of a glacier, and its torso was covered with frost. Edmund kicked twice, feeling like he was kicking an iron plate.
Then, the mercenaries also showed some fear on their faces.
This...... Is it the power of magic?
Speaking of magic, though, they also thought of the four mages who followed the camp. So, they searched the center and finally found the four familiar bodies next to the extinguished campfire.
Removing the familiar corpse, the mercenaries even found a small hole in the ground.
"It's ......"
"It's they who want to use magic to make a tunnel and escape from the tunnel. Suddenly, a voice came from behind them, "But the soil is frozen harder than granite." They tried their best, but they could only make such a few holes, and in the end they froze to death here. ”
The mercenaries turned around and looked more respectful than before: "Master Mage." ”
Benjamin nodded.
Looking at the corpses of those mages, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although he did not encounter any difficulties in this battle, correspondingly, it was equivalent to testing his ability. The level of magic of the Ice Tomb symbolizes a higher realm for mages. Now, the fact that he is able to maintain and control this amount of ice is a testament to how much he's grown these days.
Now that he encounters a bishop-level figure again, he definitely doesn't need to hug his head and run away.
However, when their eyes returned to them, they were not yet ready to relax completely.
All six teams were wiped out, the fish that slipped through the net were also swept away, and there were no other enemies left in the woods. Beyond the woods, however, there were thousands of them waiting to deal with.
In addition, there are many mercenaries hiding in the woods, not knowing what is happening. Benjamin can find them and add a little more strength to his team.
"Let's clean up this place first, it's ugly to throw it all in. Thinking of this, he said, "Remember to check the pockets of those people and see if they have any catches." ”
When the mercenaries heard this, they nodded their heads in obedience without objection.
Forget about the corpses of the other guards, those rich merchants must have a lot of money on them. Benjamin is here for money, so how can he forget about touching the corpse?
And just like that, they began to clean up the entire battlefield. Hundreds of corpses, which is quite time-consuming to dispose of. However, it is only the second day of the "Seven Days of Hell", and the people guarding outside are unaware, thinking that the rich people are having fun here, how would they think that the identities of the hunter and the prey have been reversed?
There's a lot of time left, and they can prepare slowly.
What's more, Benjamin had to wait for reinforcements to come.
"Wait......"
Suddenly, Benjamin looked at the corpse of a guard on the ground, and a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind.
He reached out and ripped off the man's special helmet. He took the helmet in his hand and examined it carefully, a sly glint looming in his eyes.
A day later.
In the outer corner of the woods, members of the illegal mercenary organization stood in twos and threes. They were trying to prevent their prey from sneaking out of the woods, but at the moment, they were yawning boredly.
"...... Why is it only the third day?" complained one of the mercenaries, "it's annoying to have to stay in this hellish place for four days." There are only more than 20 people, and those gangsters can't kill people quickly?"
"Okay, I'm making a lot of money. Take this opportunity once a year, and cherish it. Another mercenary advised.
Suddenly, a lazy voice came over and interrupted their conversation.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Derek, presumably the leader of the organization or something, walked over and said with an unhappy face, "Look at it, if someone slips out, I want you to look good!"
The two mercenaries were stunned for a moment, and immediately shrank back, nodding submissively, not daring to refute.
Seeing this, Derek nodded, ready to turn and leave.
"Wait! Yes...... Is it Lord Drake?"
However, at this moment, in the middle of the woods, a guard-like man ran out, panting and shouting loudly.
Derek turned, "What's wrong?"
The guards who were following the wealthy merchant suddenly ran out on their own, which is not a common thing.
The guard trotted a few paces past the defensive line outside the woods, and with no one stopping him, he finally came to Drake's side. He held his knees and gasped for breath for a while before he slowly spoke, "The adults are angry now, tell you to come in!"
As soon as these words came out, Drake frowned, and the faces of the people next to him were also a little bored.
Those picky guys, they've learned enough.
"Why are you angry again?" asked Drake.
"Because there are too few people in this class, the adults are bored to play, so I want you to quickly find dozens of more people and put them in the woods, otherwise they won't give money. ”
When Drake heard this, he couldn't help but curse: "These fat pigs. ”
The guard was a little scared, but after hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Look...... Let's find a dozen more people to come in. ”
"A dozen people, you should have fallen from the world, where can I find them?" Drake swallowed to the ground and shook his head, "You tell them, there are so many people, I can't find any more." ”
But the guards said, "However, the adults said that if you can't find someone, not only will they not give you money, but they will also spread the word about you so that you can ...... Let you ......"
Hearing this, Drake's face finally changed.
“...... How could they even say such a thing?"
The guard nodded wincingly.
Drake sighed and was silent for a long time. The mercenaries on the side couldn't help but look at each other when they saw this scene, and they didn't dare to say anything.
"What the hell do you say?" asked the guard tentatively.
Derek frowned, thought for a while, and finally spoke: "It's impossible to find someone, I'll go talk to them." I hope they will listen to me. ”
When the guard heard this, he lowered his head and didn't say anything.
In this way, under the guidance of the guards, Derick slowly walked into the woods with a few followers.
