This underground space occupied by unknown monsters as a lair is not small, about 1,000 square meters.

The inside of the cave is dry, unlike most monster lairs, which smell fishy.

There are no "nests" built of branches and straw, and there are no filth such as bones and feces, only a large pile of broken ore of different colors is piled there, which inevitably makes people wonder if this nest has been abandoned a long time ago.

After a quick inspection of his surroundings, and noticing that the lair had two other openings besides the passage from which they had come, Julius said to Ansill:

"Anhil, guard the three entrances and exits."

Anhill nodded, found a place with the best view, and could monitor the positions of the three holes at the same time, and set up a heavy crossbow to start guarding.

"Let's start looking."

"Hmm."

Julius and Gordon walked to the only possible location of Gunpowder Rock - the pile of rubble.

As the hunter who found the Powder Rock said, it wasn't hard to find.

Gordon and Julius pushed aside a layer of crushed ore, and six or seven oval, rough dark red rocks came into view.

"Don't say it, if I didn't know that it was rocks, I would have thought they were eggs, and the shape was too regular, right?" Gordon was amazed.

Julius took off his wrist armor and gently stroked his palm against the powder rock, "The temperature is about sixty degrees, and it will indeed burn at low temperatures if you continue to hold it."

Gordon, try it, can the Male Dragon set block this temperature? ”

Gordon also pressed his hand on the powder rock, and after a while, shook his head and said, "It will be better, but not too long." ”

Julius tapped his chin to show that he understood, "Then let's try to hurry, Gordon, you hold one first, feel the weight, and be sure to take two more." ”

Gordon picked up a gunpowder rock with one hand and checked it, "It's no problem, it's not too much of a burden for me, it's just that the volume is a little in the way." ”

With that, he bent down and picked up the second one.

"Change the formation, I'll open the way, Gordon in the center, Anhill in the back, go!" Julius snorted softly and walked first into the passage from which they had come.

Gordon held two gunpowder rocks the size of watermelons, and walked and swayed, but the speed was not too slow, which is the advantage of being tall and strong!

Anhil, who had put away his heavy crossbow, followed last, and from now on, he would have to take on at least half of the guard and defense duties.

Gordon, who used both hands to carry Powder Rock, couldn't pull out his weapon to defend himself, and if it really got to the point where he had to pull out his greatsword, it would mean that everything had to start all over again.

The spirits of all three of them were completely tense.

The two or three hundred meters of the road will soon come to an end, and if you go more than ten meters, you will come to the shore of the magma lake in the belly of the mountain, which is also the biggest difficulty on the route.

Julius, who was at the front of the line, raised his fist and made a "pause" gesture.

He turned around and said to his two companions, who were also slowly stopping, "You guys take a break, I'll take a look at the situation." ”

With that, he walked quietly towards the entrance of the cave alone.

Carefully poking his head out of the hole and observing for a while, Julius stepped back again, his face not very pretty.

"How?" Gordon asked, "The Lava Beast is still crouching at the entrance of the cave to guard us?" ”

"Not really." Julius denied it.

However, most of them are still hovering on the side of the lava lake near the mouth of the cave, and we are out now, and it is certain that we will be found.

"What then, do you want to use a sonic boom to get out of the way?" Gordon looked at the Powder Rock in his arms.

Although his physical strength was still sufficient, at this moment, the place where the inside of his arm came into contact with the powder rock already felt a little burning.

Julius thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Not necessarily, my dual swords are light weapons, and they are flexible enough, so I will rush out first and attract the attention of the Lava Beast and even the Yan Ge Dragon."

They waited a little before going out, and after coming out of the hole, they ran straight in the direction that led to the outside of the mountain, Anhil, and did not fire until they had to.

Even if you fire, it's mainly a deterrent shot, don't kill the lava beast, otherwise we will be targeted by Yan Gelong, and we will be in big trouble. ”

"Okay."

"No problem."

"Gordon, drink the strong walking medicine, drink another bottle of cold drink, if you have already started to burn, drink the recovery medicine together." Julius straightened the position of the straps of his swords, and said.

Gordon lifted the powder rock in his hand, signaling that he had no hands.

Anhill rolled her eyes, walked up, pulled out three bottles of potions from the prop bag behind Gordon's waist, pulled them open and filled them in.

"You can't move gently, it's all spilled." Gordon smacked his lips and grumbled.

Anhill had an expression on his face when he saw the dirty things, "It's good to feed you medicine, there is a lot of, don't feed medicine for burns for a while, and directly reply to hit you in the head!" ”

Gordon chuckled.

I almost forgot that Anhill's Crystal Rifle is reloadable.

This special ammunition made of a healing potion and a hollow fruit is not lethal, and it can also help heal injuries when shot at teammates, but it hurts a little.

"The forced pills have also worked, so get ready to run wild." Julius, who had also been filled with a bottle of force-walking medicine, moved his lower limbs, gave Gordon a signal, and rushed out alone.

"Hey!" Julius, who ran out of the hole, shouted.

The lava beasts, who had a keen sense of hearing, were instantly attracted by his shouts, and at least seven or eight lava beasts "quacked" and climbed onto the shore of the lake, moving their four short legs around him.

Instead of running away immediately, Julius continued to shout, waving his arms to attract the attention of more Lava Beasts.

It wasn't until the fastest lava beasts were about to rush in front of him and surround him that he suddenly pulled out his "Holy Saber" and raised his two swords high above his head, striking them together.

"Boom!" With a clang, a red light spread out from the place where the two swords clashed, instantly enveloping Julius's entire body.

Ghosted!

His heart was beating fast, and blood was rushing through his veins at several times the speed of the previous one.

With a flip of his wrist, the double swords in his palms turned into a backhand grip, Julius leaned down, and in the next second, the whole person turned into an afterimage and jumped out.

The surrounding lava beasts couldn't stop him at all, and after a few tosses and turns, he had already broken out of the encirclement of the lava beasts.

"it, this speed." Gordon, who was secretly paying attention to the situation outside with Anhill, couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

This was the first time he experienced the strength of Julius, who was known as the "chief of the younger generation".

Even if the other party hasn't really made a move, this speed alone has already made the vast majority of hunters, and even the double sword envoys, out of reach.

After breaking out of the encirclement, Julius did not run too far either.

Instead, he temporarily withdrew from the ghostly transformation, slowed down, and regained his strength, while waiting for the lava beasts to approach again, and then repeating the previous steps.

Step by step, lead them away from the entrance of the burrow.

"It's close, it's close." Anhill muttered to herself, estimating the number and distance of the lava herd.

When more than eighty percent of the lava beasts in the magma lake surrounded Julius, Yan Gelong was also attracted to the moment.

Anhill snorted softly, "It's now, let's go!" ”

The two rushed out of the underground cave one after the other.
