Chapter 43: Into the Pit
Controlling the Digger, Roman leaves the bioweapons warehouse and travels down the slope to the depths of the earth.
The sloping passage was wide enough to accommodate several digging beasts walking side by side, and when they looked up, they saw the pitch black, unsightly top.
Next to him, Winnie talks about the main points of the mission:
“…… In front of you, there will be a witchcraft sign, the sign is not affected by illusions, you just ignore the illusion, dig in the direction of the sign, and nothing else. ”
At this time, Roman asked, "I heard that there are a lot of Extreme Devourers underground, is it true?" ”
Winnie nodded and said, "Yes, but that's not your business, that's the matter of the escort group, you just need to dig the ground, dig the ground, dig the ground again!" ”
Roman shook his head in his heart, pinning his safety on others, he was not at ease.
To this end, he suppressed his inner anxiety by stroking the rune stones in his pocket.
Soon, they reached a large underground space arranged like a station platform, with a dark tunnel leading to the front at the edge.
Railroad tracks are laid on the passage, and a giant beast crawls on it, pulling a flatbed train behind it.
Next to the train, a team was gathering, a formal wizard led nearly 20 third-level apprentices, surrounded by groups of mutant beasts.
Tyrants, lickers, hunters...... The whole nine yards.
When Winnie appeared, the official wizard smiled, "It's up to you, Valkyrie, and the new digger." ”
Then he glanced at Roman and said with a smile: "Hello, my name is Corey, the captain of Corey's engineering brigade. ”
Roman smiled politely and said, "Hello, my name is Roman, and I am participating in the excavation work for the first time. ”
At this time, Winnie slapped him the shoulder:
"Don't be modest, Roman! Even if you don't believe in yourself, believe in my vision, you definitely have something special! I'm very accurate! ”
Having said that, Corey still said steadily: "Considering that Roman is in the pit for the first time, today's goal is to lower it and let Roman feel the atmosphere first." ”
Afterwards, the brigade boarded the car and drove into a dark passage.
The passage was dark, illuminated by luminous stones embedded in the walls of the cave, which glowed blue by consuming stored mana.
When encountering a glowing stone that has gone out, Corey will order the train to stop and replace it with a glowing stone full of magical power.
The crowd stopped and stopped, and the train soon reached the end, and Corey shouted:
"Ahead is the edge of the safe zone, and further on, there are thousands of Extreme Devouring Beasts, all of which cheer me up! Don't die! ”
At this time, the chip also came with a warning: "Didi! The sorcery energy is waning......"
Roman sighed secretly: "Every space here is made of blood and fire, which can be described as an inch of space and an inch of blood. ”
The brigade left the train and walked down the field, and the captain Corey assigned the task:
"Winnie, you're in charge of the guards!"
"Joel, your second team is responsible for cleaning the muck!"
"Pike, your three teams are in charge of commanding the mutant herd!"
"Roman, the excavation work depends on you, once you encounter an untenable illusion, call for help at any time!"
Roman commanded loudly and followed Corey onwards, listening to the occasional roar of the beast in the distance.
"Chips! Record the cries and compare them to the Eaters you've encountered! ”
"Ding! After the comparison is complete, it is not a known Pole Eater cry......"
Roman secretly judged: "It seems that underground, the Pole Eater has evolved a new breed. ”
At this time, the cave gradually narrowed, and everyone was finally blocked by a stone wall.
Corey said lightly: "This is the end of the Witte brigade, now is our starting point, Roman, let's start!" ”
Roman nodded, and with a thought, the digger rose up at random and dug towards the stone wall.
Through the perception of the Digging Beast, Roman saw a spot of light on the stone wall in front of him, as large as the Digging Beast.
He judged in his heart: "This is the sign of witchcraft that guides the way......"
He then redirected the excavation to match the marker as closely as possible, and as the digging deepened, most of the digging beast's body burrowed into the stone wall and expelled a lump of excrement.
If you look closely, the excrement is the waste muck from the excavation.
At this time, the third-level apprentices of the second group performed the "fossil to water" sorcery to make the muck disappear, and the rest of the people formed a battle formation and followed the digging beast into the cave.
Roman also realized that the skin of the digging beast secretes a kind of mucus that makes the cave walls stable, and the solid cave walls block the invasion of the devouring beasts.
At this time, Roman was puzzled and asked Winnie beside him, "Didn't you say that there are a lot of Extreme Devourers?" I can't see any of them now. ”
Winnie pointed to the solid cave walls around her and smiled, "Extreme Eaters can't penetrate walls, how can there be here?" ”
Roman continued: "So where will they appear?" ”
Winnie didn't answer, and said with a solemn face: "You'll know right away, get ready!" ”
At this time, the digger beast was digging and digging, as if it had broken through something, and the front suddenly emptied, and through the perspective of the digger beast, Roman saw a huge space.
Roman was about to report, and Corey took the lead in ordering: "Roman, dig the beast to leave space, mutate the beast herd, go out to investigate!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Roman's heart moved, and the huge digging beast shrank like a deflated balloon.
The reduced state lasts for several hours, during which time the digger cannot move, but it saves a lot of space for rear combatants to pass through.
The next moment, countless lickers and hunters ran from both sides and rushed into the space ahead.
After a while, the sound of fighting came, intertwined with the roar of the mutant beast and the roar of the devourer.
Later, Corey throws out an artificial sun, and Roman sees a huge space where the Polar Eaters are swarming and flooding the mutants.
And the witchcraft mark is on the stone wall at the other end of the space, at least a few hundred meters away.
Soon, the Eater of Extremes eliminated the Mutant Beast and slaughtered the engineering brigade.
Under the light of the sorcery sun, the Eaters are all over the mountains, and even more surprisingly, they are also remote.
The next moment, a raindrop of bone spears shot out, enveloping the hole.
The entrance to the cave is narrow, and there are not many bone spears flying in, so it is easy to be shielded by witchcraft, but the faces of everyone in the cave are not good-looking.
With such a dense rain of arrows, the cave is small enough to be defended, and once it goes to the outside of the empty cave, it is immediately set on fire from all directions.
But the witchcraft mark is ahead, and to reach the other side safely, the mutant beasts must be destroyed.
At this time, Corey gritted his teeth and ordered:
"Listen to me in a moment, all mutant beasts will attack! All tyrants untie their bonds, and don't leave your hands alone! ”
"All Level 3 apprentices prepare for the strongest witchcraft, after the bone spurs are consumed, it will take time to grow, and then it will be our chance!"
"Roman, hide it for a while, remotely control the digging beast, and continue digging! Also watch out for the illusion of the spine Gu! ”
Mutant beasts do not have a life essence, and the Eater Beast will not take the initiative to attack, just like a stone, it usually doesn't care, and only when it gets in the way, it will kick away.
So as long as it is done well, the Digger can swagger through the Eater Herd.
"Understood!" Roman nodded solemnly.
After giving the order, Corey looked around and said with a cruel smile: "Warriors, the time to kill has come!" Countless cultivation resources are waiting for us! ”
