While the scene is playing out in the old mine, on the other side of the forest, Batu and Rongruo shuttle through the forest. The rope tied to him had already been untied by Rong Ruo, and although the other children were not very reassured about it, she did so despite the unravel.

When Batu agreed to take them to the mine, Rong Ruo was sure that he would not play tricks, and she could see that this young Mao Wen's respect for Barcelona was from the heart, and after hearing what she said, he really wanted to figure everything out from the bottom of his heart, which could be seen in his eyes. It's just that she can't help but worry that when the figure of the idol in his heart really collapses, he will fall into a huge loss?

In order to properly relax Batu's tense heart, Rong Ruo asked a question that had nothing to do with the old mine, "Can you also see the spirit of nature?"

Her sudden question seemed more abrupt in the midst of a group of silent people, everyone was struggling to walk, and it was difficult to even catch their breath, how could they have the leisure to speak, only she was riding on the fawn with relative ease. However, Batu, who was questioned by her, did not seem to be difficult, their current speed was not difficult for him who had grown up and trained in the forest since childhood, but he looked gloomy and did not pay attention to her.

"When you were in the city, you drew your weapon because you saw a fawn, right?" Rong Ruo asked.

Batu hummed impatiently.

His performance reminded Rong Ruo of her senior brother a little, when she talked to him, he always used this kind of answer to perfunctory her, but she didn't know where he was now, how long it would take to get here, she actually knew very well that what she could do now was just to delay time, this time the matter was too big, and if it was really to be solved, she would have to wait for Sister Sophia to come over with reinforcements.

"Then you must have seen a lot of nature spirits so far, right?" Rong Ruo asked.

Batu finally looked back at her and said, "You should finish your hunt." ”

"Huh?" Rong Ruo touched the fawn's head, "but it looks cute." ”

Batu turned back and continued to look at the road, "Your sympathy is meaningless, whether you move it or not, after the Great Hunt is over, the spirit of nature will return to the bosom of the forest. ”

"Well, is that so? Rong Ruo looked down at the fawn, so in fact, whether she killed it or not, its life would soon come to an end? There is always a sad feeling when you think about the fact that all the spirits of nature, from the moment they are created, have nothing more than a short life and a fate to be hunted.

"Whatever you want. Batu let out a cold snort.

Rong Ruo raised her head and asked, "What about you, you have experienced many big hunts, what is the prey you encountered?"

Batu was silent for a moment, "I haven't met a prey yet. ”

Rong Ruo was stunned, even if the big hunt is once every few years, Batu should have experienced many big hunts so far. She only ran into this fawn for the first time, so he should have met it earlier, but she also knew that he didn't lie to him, and he was really excited when he saw the fawn at that time, probably thinking that he had finally met his own prey.

"Elder Barcelona...... Say, I'm not ready. Batu continued, but when he mentioned Barca, his tone was noticeably stiffer.

"Don't be upset, maybe there's something else going on. Rong Ruo comforted casually.

Batu stopped abruptly, turned back and said, "I said, if what you say is false, I will not hesitate to bite your neck." ”

"Eh, I'm comforting you!"

"Mao Wen never reneged on his promises. Batu turned around and continued, "Also, here we are." ”

"Huh?" Rong Ruo was startled and rolled over and got off the fawn.

The trees in this area are very sparse, and you can see a lot of bare boulders in the snow and some wooden huts with stone processing tables, many of which have been crushed by the snow, and those that have not been crushed are not in very good condition, and you can see that no one has taken care of them for a long time.

"Why is it so quiet here?" Rong Ruo walked to the wooden sheds, although Xiaorou had already said in the teleportation magic that this was a waste mine, but as a hidden spot for human experiments, there should always be Mao Wen on duty here.

"I said Elder Barça couldn't do something like that, this mine has been abandoned for a long time. Batu said.

"Is this the only old mine here?" asked Rong Ruo unwillingly.

"There's only one old mine nearby. Batu glanced at the abandoned stone mill, "The new mine is somewhere else. ”

Xiaorou....... Say they... Locked up in the mines, those mines... Where is it?" asked Xiaoxin panting, her physical strength was the worst among several people, and she began to pant non-stop after driving in the snow for so long.

"Where is the entrance to the mine?" Rong Ruo asked Batu.

"Follow me. Their guide turned and walked forward with a blank face.

After walking for about 100 meters after passing through the stone processing workshop, Batu suddenly stopped, pointed ahead and said, "The old pit is here." ”

Rong Ruo bypassed him and stepped forward. The sky was clear and cloudless tonight, and all three moons cast bright moonlight on the ground, but this huge pit devoured the moonlight like an abyss, and there was no way to see the bottom.

"There's a brazier over here. "Anton made a discovery at the edge of the pit.

Rong Ruo walked over, the brazier was damp, and there was still unburned firewood, "These firewood are doused with snow, and it won't take long." ”

"Does this mean that Xiaorou and they have already been taken away?" Xiaoxin exclaimed.

Her words made Lan Yue and Anton furious, and they pointed their weapons at Batu and asked, "Where have they been taken, brother?"

"Calm down first!" Rong Ruo stood between them, and then asked Batu, "Didn't you say that there was no one in this mine, but the brazier was extinguished not long ago." ”

Batu didn't talk.

"Do you know where Xinghe might be transported?" Rong Ruo then asked.

Batu shook his head.

......

Rong Ruo also felt very helpless, it had been too long since the last time Xiaorou contacted them, at that time they seemed to be in a very critical situation, and she didn't know how they were now, she looked at Xiaoxin, "How is it, can you contact Xiaorou?"

Xiaoxin closed her eyes and whispered a mantra, then raised her head and shook her head in disappointment, "She didn't respond. ”

"Where are you going?" Anton pointed at Batu's back with a hunting knife in both hands, and the young Mao Wen walked to the ramp that led to the bottom of the pit.

"I'm going down and have a look. Batu said.

"Eh, wait!" Rong Ruo led the deer and followed, and turned back and said, "Let's take a look, maybe there will be some clues." ”

As they descended deeper and deeper, the moonlight provided less and less illumination, and Rong Ruo had to let Anton use illumination, although it would make them very conspicuous in the dark, but they did not have night vision like Mao Wen, and it was still easy to fall when walking in the dark.

It has been confirmed that there are people in this pit, and Rong Ruo has seen a lot of braziers doused with snow on the mine road, and the snow on the ramp that hovers down has also been cleared. The only thing that bothered her was that as they descended deeper, the fawn she was holding became more and more uneasy, as if there was something in the pit that scared it.

Along the ramp, Rong Ruo also saw a lot of mine crossings, because they didn't know where these black holes led, they didn't rush in, until Rong Ruo saw a somewhat special hole, "There are traces of ruts here." ”

Although the snow had been cleared, there were some corners that were not as clean, and she saw a rut mark on a part of the snow at the entrance to the mine. The snow has fallen in the past few days, so the rut marks have also been left in the past few days, although there is only a small section of the traces that I can't see what kind of car left by it, but it is enough to show that someone has entered here in the past few days. Moreover, standing at the mouth of this cave, the fawn was particularly restless.

"Shall we go in and have a look?" Rong Ruo turned back to ask for everyone's opinions.

Without waiting for anyone to answer, Batu took the lead in the mine, Anton immediately followed with a hunting knife, and Xiaoxin and Lan Yue followed with the ball of light in his hand. Rong Ruo was left behind, and it took her a lot of effort to finally calm the fawn and follow with it.

After entering the mine, Rong Ruo somewhat understood why the fawn was uneasy, she felt a huge magic fluctuation in the depths of the mine, and in order to confirm that she also asked Pixar to verify that there was indeed a large magic running in the depths of the mine. These mana fluctuations are hindered by the mountain and cannot be felt outside, but they are obvious as soon as you enter.

"Everyone be careful, there must be a very powerful spellcaster ahead!" Rong Ruo opened her mouth to remind everyone.

As soon as her words fell, there was a sudden movement in front of the mine, and Lan Yue immediately shot an arrow in the direction where the voice came from.

The arrow was nailed directly to the rock wall of the mine, and Rong Ruo walked over to find a crow nailed to the wall by the arrow. Lan Yue's arrows are shooting accurately, but why are there crows in this place?

Before she could come up with a reason, there was a large number of wings waving from the depths of the mine, and she looked up to see a black crow flying towards them, "Xiaoxin, shield!"

Xiaoxin immediately opened her shield and enveloped everyone, but in the blink of an eye, a large number of crows flew from the mine, banging against the shield, and they slammed into the milky white shield one after another, looking terrifying.

"Why are there so many crows here!Aren't there more bats or something in the cave?" asked Rong Ruo.

No one answered her question, but Xiaoxin said, "I can't hold it anymore." ”

Although the force of these crows hitting the shield is so great, but they are all frantically hitting the shield, it is normal for Xiaoxin to feel struggling, Rong Ruo thought for a while and shouted to Anton: "Fatty, extinguish your ball of light, the crows are attracted by it!"

Anton canceled the illumination as she ordered, but after his ball of light went out, the shield itself still emitted a faint milky glow, which was enough to entice the crows to continue to hit the shield.

"Damn, you guys rush forward!" Rong Ruo shouted to the others, "I can't control this magic well!"

There was some hesitation, but after hearing her last words, the children immediately rushed forward with their shields. As soon as she left the protection of the shield, Rong Ruo was pecked by a bird's beak and had a lot of wounds, and it didn't matter, she had suffered more painful injuries than this. She gritted her teeth, leaned her back against the fawn, and folded her hands.

It was indeed because she was not very skilled in the magic of the fire snake technique. The large-scale lethal fire magic is really not very practical for the agents of Valhalla, and if it is set on fire in the process of carrying out the mission, it will cause more damage than the criminals, so Rong Ruo has basically not practiced this kind of magic, and all he knows is only a half-baked fire snake technique, which can ensure that he is not burned to the ground, but there is no way to guarantee that he will not accidentally hurt the people around him.

As the magic was constructed, Rong Ruo stretched her hands, and a giant python made of flames rushed out from between her hands, writhing everywhere in the mine. The heat from the fiery serpent made it difficult for Rong Ruo to open her eyes, let alone the crows, who were scorched by the fiery serpent and let out an unpleasant scream.

Rong Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, just now this fire snake had consumed almost a third of her remaining mana, and finally dealt with these pesky crows.

However, just as she was about to catch up with Xiaoxin and them, who had already run away a short distance, an explosion suddenly came from behind her, and she turned around and saw the fire snake she had made burst out from the middle, a huge ...... The crow burrowed out of the fiery serpent's body and burst the flames of the giant python.

Something that big...... Is it really a crow?
