After Cook finished telling the old thieves the complete experience of this underground ruin in the past few days, Chelus and the two knights also briefly explained the information they held in their hands, of course, why those mercenaries chased after them and did not let go of this wolf girl did not say anything. After listening to Cook's words, Cheruth knew that her guess along the way was almost eight or nine, and sure enough, the "seed" in the mouth of those mercenaries referred to the power of law. The laws in his body come from the innate abilities of the Nolan clan, and if outsiders know that those mercenaries believe that they have "seeds" in them, it will be troublesome to explain.

Although he is a thief with a group of words, but in the end, he has a conscience in his bones, and a hidden ruins expedition of his group of people will cause such a big trouble on the edge of the southwest desert, and the four members of the old thief group who are still conscious all showed embarrassed expressions,

Although it was not intentional, if it weren't for the fact that this group of people had not entered the ruins left behind by others without the consent of their masters, the next series of events would not have happened, so it is not an exaggeration to charge the old thieves and the unknown mercenary group that has now degenerated into outcasts.

However, seeing that half of the members of the old thieves were not in a good sense, they had to force them to fall unconscious, and the other half of the members of the group also had two women and children who were old and sick, and it was really difficult for them to blame them.

After all, the exploration of ancient ruins has always been a big gamble, and the explorers gambled their lives on the treasures in the ruins, and no one knew what would happen until they entered the ruins. As the perpetrators, both the old thieves and the mercenary group that invited them over obviously paid a very heavy price. What's more, it is not now that the culpability is to be judged, in any case, it is necessary to ensure that the victims will not continue to expand, at least they themselves will not become the next victims.

If it was an old thief group in its heyday, it wouldn't even need the group elder to steal it, and these members with their own unique skills, plus the four of them, would be enough to clear these degenerate mercenaries and giant scorpions that were currently blocked on the first floor, and then rush to the ground to break through the blockade of the big spider.

However, at present, the only combat power available in the old thief group is Cook and Zhao Hao, especially Zhao Hao has faintly felt that he seems to have a very obvious agitation and destruction in his heart like Iggy Chunming, so relying on the little illusion that the old thief has recovered is more than enough to protect himself, if you want to talk about a frontal breakthrough, let alone help, these people are already very good if they don't lag behind.

On the other hand, Chelus and Nanoha are the two of them, Nanoha's advantage is to use the flying magic boots and magic spear to carry out high-mobility long-range attacks, this kind of closed underground space with no considerable height up and down is undoubtedly the most unsuitable fighting place for chestnut-haired girls. Cheruth is confident that she can go out on her own, but the problem is that she alone breaks through, which doesn't mean much to the group at the moment or herself.

As for the two Templars...... How much can you expect the two authors to play a role in the soy sauce that they don't even bother to think about...... Ahem, you don't think you saw it.

The only good news is that Grey Wind and the others are getting closer and closer here, although I don't know the strength of the elite members of the Wanderer Mercenary Regiment that Grey Wind has found, but Chelus is still quite confident in the personal strength of her wolf sister.

After awakening the dragon bloodline suspected of coming from his father's side two years ago, even Helo said that if the current gray wind lifted its own bloodline suppression and revealed its true dragon wolf form, even she, a six-star arcane mage who was only half a step away from the law powerhouse, would be able to suppress the gray wind. Although this is also related to the fact that Helo is not too keen on fighting, so he does not have the combat skills to match his own strength, but at least it also shows that as long as he is not a law-level opponent, then now Sister Wolf is at least capable of maneuvering with him.

The members of the old thief group, who learned from Cheruth that reliable reinforcements would arrive in a little while, did not hesitate, or rather, with their state that they had no room for hesitation and qualifications, and decisively agreed to join the Wolf Maiden's plan to join the battle of internal and external cooperation.

Just when the two sides had finalized their plans to find a place to sit down after the illusion enchantment in the passage, recover their strength and adjust their state, the two Templars who had almost forgotten about the author's fungus after playing several chapters of soy sauce (so they wanted to appear on the scene like this!) stood in front of the wolf girl's eyes at a loss.

"Well, Miss Cheruth, may I ask...... Let's go to the ruins first, those companions and Squadron Leader Shuaike, what are they going to do?"

The look of "can you help the squadron leader and them out by the way" is what kind of anticipation expression is going to do, don't mind, the two armored muscular brothers make that kind of little animal flattering expression is completely counterproductive, and it makes people don't want to help you anymore...... Although I didn't want to help in the first place, I just wanted to help.

“...... I'm sorry two knight uncles, I don't know, maybe you can listen to her instructions when my companion comes with Sister Raphael, Mr. Shuai Ke told me that Sister Raphael is a candidate saint in your sect, maybe she will do something...... After all, we're just a bunch of students who came out to play trials during the holidays......"

That's right, although it's a little cold-blooded, but the other party is a dangerous boss who even has to pay a heavy price to lead the team to survive even a strong person like the old thief, and she doesn't have a good old man to fight hard for someone who is hostile to her in terms of position.

The loss on the faces of the two knights was obvious, but what could they say, indeed, the little wolf girl in front of them had raised objections with their squadron leader when Shuai Ke led the team into the ruins before, and it was they who did not listen to the advice of others, not to mention this, what position did these Templar Knights, who claimed to be the guardians of light and justice, force a few little girls to save them......

"Well...... Yes, although Squadron Leader Shuai Ke is a bit straightforward, he is not a reckless person, so he should be fine......"

Words of consolation, the only thing Cheruth could give to the two Templars.

“...... Looks like I'm really getting too big. ”

At the intersection of a passage on the third floor of the underground ruins, looking at the several dark passages in front of him that he didn't know where to lead, Shuai Ke grinned and whispered to himself a little self-deprecatingly.

Behind Shuaike, the Knights of the Templar that he brought down from the ground had long since lost the over-energy and noisy appearance he had on the ground before, and most of the men in the armor and muscles had various injuries on their bodies, and the whole team looked messy and tired, leaving only the eyes that looked at their squadron leader were still as resolute and trusting as ever.

It is precisely in this way that Shuai Ke, who is at the forefront, feels more and more pressured, these are all good young men, but because of his reckless orders, he fell into the current predicament with him, to be honest, even if he dies, Shuai Ke does not want to see these young men who have been training and sharpening under his nose since entering the squadron, and the young men who have grown up by him day by day have thrown their lives that should have been more meaningful in this dark place.

He should have listened to the advice of the wolf girl named Cheruth, just a few hours ago, when he decided to lead the team to investigate the underground while waiting for the arrival of the girl's companion and the alternate saint Raphael, the wolf girl had seriously advised him not to act so rashly, at least to wait for Raphael to come and listen to her opinion on the curse that was spreading in the desert this time before making a decision, but now what seemed to be a very correct opinion was regarded by him as the timidity of the little girl at that time, and he laughed at it, and did not take it seriously at all。

It's just a group of depraved mercenaries who don't know why they have fallen to the point of betraying all beliefs in the will of God and justice, and for the Shuai Ke squadron, which is even the most elite Silver Legion of the Templar Knights of the Solan Cult, those mercenaries are not enough to see no matter how many tricks they have...... Until they left the second floor of the ruins and came to the third floor, Shuai Ke and the rest of his squadron thought so.

However, on the third layer, they suddenly realized that the calm of the first and second layers seemed to be a deliberate illusion left by the enemies hiding in the shadows, and what was even more terrifying was that the enemies they faced were not at all the mercenaries they expected to have an average strength of only moderate vindictiveness.

Desert giant scorpions, mutated desert slimes, sand worm larvae, and even a slightly smaller sand king spider nesting there in the center of the third layer, the third layer of the entire underground ruins is like a demon cave where all the desert demonic beasts are concentrated, and there are even some sand elements that make them even more frightened here, this pure elemental creature that originally had no autonomous consciousness and people don't offend me and I don't offend people is also as crazy as those demonic beasts, and even used its own sand and earth elemental magic to arbitrarily change the layout of the passage here in the third layer that was originally like a labyrinth。

I don't know when the walls were built on the original path, and the original walls were unknowingly broken through, and by the time Shuai Ke and the others realized it, they were completely trapped in the third layer, and they had to be caught in a non-stop battle with the creatures on the third level who were so aggressive that they were abnormal.

The dark and complex terrain became the best ambush ground for those demonic beasts, and the array of the Templar Knights and the general combat quality of the army were completely unleashed in such a narrow place, and the casualties of the knights began to increase. Some of the Light Priests who accompanied the team had already privately approached Shuai Ke more than once, and they had discovered early on that the demonic beasts here had the same curse aura as the sand bandits and fallen mercenaries who attacked Rook Town, and as their attacks began to spread to the knights in large numbers.

Although the Templars have been trained in mental toughness to fight against all kinds of curses, so they are more able to suppress this abnormal desire for destruction in their bodies than ordinary people, but the Light Priests have also found that even the air of this underground ruin is filled with that kind of bad curse aura, in this environment, the spread and onset of the curse aura will be more than twice as fast as the outside, and there is no way out, and it is only a matter of time before everyone degenerates into pathetic people who have betrayed the faith of the gods like those mercenaries.
