5. Foothold Chapter 180 Separate Actions

The people present were all strong people above the silver level, and they would not be afraid even in the completely dark environment, so advancing in this narrow and oppressive underground passage, and having a light technique to illuminate the front and back, had no effect on everyone's mood.

Ten minutes later, Donald led the five to the cave where the passage to the Sealed Abyss was located.

Seeing the altar-type sealing circle in the middle of the cave, the three people on the side of the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture all looked at Donald and his apprentices, waiting for their explanation.

Donald doesn't sell it either, anyway, these three clergymen shouldn't be interested in the abyss passage, only people like evil magicians will have ideas, so he said directly: "When this place was first discovered, it was a plane passage to the abyss world, and I and a few other silver mages solved some of the demons that ran out of it, and then we teamed up to arrange this sealing circle and close the passage!"

Priest Thorde nodded and praised: "Your Excellency the Baron and Master Messer's approach is admirable, you must know that there has been no incident on the continent for a hundred years that the abyss channel has been sealed by our human powerhouse! There were too many cracks left by the collision between the abyss plane and the main world, although most of them were healed by the laws of the main world, but there are still many large and small cracks left, once they are discovered by the strong people in the abyss, they will be transformed into a stable space channel, and that is the disaster of our main world!"

There seemed to be something in the Priest Thord's tone, presumably he should have participated in the battle against the demons during the Demon Plague invasion, so it was not surprising that he sighed a little.

However, the Eri knight looked at the sealing circle carefully with great interest, and then nodded slightly, Donald saw her performance, and further confirmed his previous speculation about this girl.

How could a person who was a teenager and a knight by profession be able to understand the sealing circle that involved what was said to be the most difficult spatial realm in mage research? Although the other party's expression was very slight, Donald could still confirm from his eyes that the other party had indeed grasped the point, and was not pretending to understand.

"Okay! There is no need to go to the other two forks here, the one on the left in front of me is the only one I have not explored, because this road has gone deep into the ground, and there are many forks in it, if you want to find the right route to the target area, ordinary people may not be able to do it in their lifetime!"

"It's just a bit of a hassle for me, though! With my minions, it's basically only a matter of time before I find a pathway. You can take a break here and wait for my news before moving forward!"

With that, Donald came to the entrance of the passage on the left alone, and deliberately took a few steps forward, carrying the others behind his back to summon the summoned creatures he used to explore the path.

I saw dozens of owls and bats, flying monsters like imps hula and fly into the passage in droves.

This is because he considers that this passage to the depths of the underground can be extremely complicated, and when encountering a fork in the road, he must divide several to re-explore, and the task will not be completed if the summoned creatures do not reach a certain number. Therefore, he didn't skimp on that low-level demon core, and summoned sixty of them at once.

This time he not only summoned the owl, but also the same number of thirty gargoyles appeared with him, after all, the owl did not have the slightest ability to resist in the face of the fierce lowland creatures, and he didn't want to add a few owls every once in a while, so in order to save time for pathfinding, he summoned a group of gargoyles to escort him, which could greatly reduce the number of owl deaths and increase their forward speed.

"Your Excellency, have you finished summoning the creatures?" Ellie heard the sound of wings flapping, and there seemed to be a lot of them!

When Donald returned to the cave, the young knight Ellie asked with interest.

She was going to follow Donald and see what he looked like when he cast his summoning spells, maybe she would be able to find out more of this guy's secrets, and she was very curious about this genius mage that she couldn't see through!

It's just that when she had just taken two steps, the very kind-looking old mage was faintly in front of the entrance of the passage, and trying to bypass her would inevitably cause the other party to be dissatisfied, so she had to give up this idea and walk back to the two companions. That's when Donald returned, and she spoke.

Donald smiled and nodded and replied, "Miss Ellie, I summoned owls and some alchemy golems that can fly!"

Ellie immediately bent his beautiful eyes and praised with a smile: "Your Excellency Baron is really wise! In this dark underground environment, the owl that can see at night and the alchemy puppet that relies on the alchemy circle to detect the environment are the most suitable scouts!"

"Miss Ellie's compliment, these are just little tricks!"

After speaking, the two of them stopped talking, and the cave suddenly became quiet, and the silver mage Messer and these clergy had nothing to say, if they were both mages, they could also exchange spell research.

The time was spent waiting, during which Donald took out two animal skin blankets, divided one among the three of Soder, and one for the two of them, then took out the snack food, boiled hot water and brewed a pot of fragrant black tea.

The three of them were obviously already interested in the food in Donald's territory, and they were just enjoying the simple refreshments.

Three hours later, Donald suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Have you rested, my minions have already figured out the next path, and now they can go!"

Thord stood up and said, "Your Excellency, I don't know where we go next?"

"My summoned creatures found three passages at the first fork in the front, one of which has been proven to be a dead end, and one is a nest leading to a nest of underground creatures, which is also a dead end, only the last passage remains, but there are more forks after this passage, so it will take some time to find out one by one, let's go to the second fork in the road first and wait!"

Thorde nodded inquiringly, and with a brief movement of his hands and feet with the other two, he was ready. Messer naturally has no opinion.

Donald waved his hand and put away the blanket, tea set, etc., and led the others on the road again.

This time, it took half an hour for the five of them to come to the second fork in the road, but Donald didn't let everyone wait here, but frowned and said: "This time my summoned creatures have explored two passages that may lead to the depths, but those two passages are the territory of powerful underground creatures, and the number of underground creatures that have been found is at least more than ten, and we have lost three owls and five gargoyles, it seems that we must personally go and deal with these guys!"

Hearing this, Soder also frowned, and asked his two companions, "What do you think?"

The cold-faced rider Wood didn't say anything, but the Elle knight proposed: "Why don't we divide the soldiers into two ways, so that it is convenient to deal with those monsters, and save everyone from running twice!"

As a result, the cold-faced rider immediately objected: "No, this is too dangerous, for the sake of safety, it is better for everyone to be together!"

But how Donald looked at him was worried about the safety of the young knight, not the others, could it be that this was the admirer of Miss Ellie?

But it doesn't look like that look, but it looks like looking at someone you respect very ......much!

Donald had a vague idea in his heart, but now was not the time to think about it, so he said, "I think Miss Ellie's method is more appropriate!"

Thord also thought about it for a moment and asked Donald, "Your Excellency, what is the strength of those underground creatures that your minions encountered?"

Donald thought for a moment and said: "Owls are not considered combat power, my alchemy puppet gargoyle probably has the strength of the black iron high rank, although they do not have much advantage in the narrow underground space, but they are not flesh and blood, so they are not ordinary creatures that can be defeated in an instant." From my senses, those creatures themselves shouldn't be stronger than the first stage of bronze, but they are very good at sneak attacks and actions in the underground environment, which is why they cause losses to my summoned creatures!"

After Donald finished speaking, Thord and Wood both breathed a sigh of relief, but no matter how good the monsters in the early stage of bronze were at sneak attacks, with the strength of themselves and others, as long as they kept their surroundings and did not act rashly, they would be self-preservation.

So they agreed to divide the troops into two ways, but when they divided the ranks, the three of them quarreled again, because the young knight wanted to join Donald and his group, not with his two companions.

In her words, "I've been with them for many years, what's the point of being together?

Donald somehow, he faintly felt that the other party was very concerned about him, and he had some unknown goals for himself, so he immediately said: "Since Miss Ellie's team is so interested in spells, then let's form a group with my teacher! The teacher is strong and has mastered many spells, which will definitely satisfy Miss Ellie! As for me joining Mr. Sood's group, you won't be welcome, right?"

"Of course not!"

Sood said busily. When he saw that Eli joined the Silver Peak Mage's side, his safety should be guaranteed, so he no longer objected. As for the cold-faced rider Wood, he still didn't feel at ease, so he had to follow the girl to act together.

So in the end, the five of them were still divided into two groups, but one group was the old mage, the girl and the cold-faced knight, and the other group was the middle-aged priest and the young mage.

After each side entered a fork in the road, seeing that their plan did not succeed, and was dodged by the cunning little mage, the girl was a little indignant in her heart, and when she walked, she couldn't help but use some force under her feet, and stepped on the ground one by one small footprints.

It sounds like this is just an ordinary situation, and there is nothing surprising about it, but you must know that the soil of the underground world is mostly hard and more almost stony, and there are many rocks, a girl can step on the hard ground, and each footprint is at least an inch thick, which is at least what the silver high-level powerhouse can do by using the sword qi in his body with all his might.

But for this young knight, it was just a strength that was inadvertently revealed.

It can be done to such an extent without a trace, which shows that the hidden strength of this Eri female knight is probably much stronger than it appears!。
