Deyun glanced at the priest who was enjoying the sunshine in the snowy mountains at the bow of the ship, and said with a pout: "Well, how long will it take for the ten main battles and ten logistics personnel on the front line to come back." ”

Marley mentally calculated the time: "Now that they have been in for three hours, they will be back here in three hours to summarize the situation." ”

Deyun took out a large map of the ice valley from his briefcase, and beckoned Gailian to come over as well: "Scout, come here!" ”

"Now that's what I'm going to do, let them not come back, let the scouts get the word out, gather them, and go down this path."

"Why?"

"I got word from the Knights that this place is inhabited by a group of goblins who take pleasure in collecting objects, so there is a high probability that the goblins here will steal the holy relics."

At this moment, four logistics mercenaries came out of the entrance of the cave, and when Ma Li saw it, he immediately rushed up and grabbed them: "Hey! The four of you, aren't you following the people of Karui, Oscar, Hawke, and Gray, how did you end up here, did you find something? ”

The four mercenaries bowed their heads guiltily, not daring to look at Marley, and one of the mercenaries said: "I'm sorry, Deputy Head Marley, we lost our follow, I followed Master Hawke and Master Gray, and just as we were following, a lot of goblin corpses and many drawbridges fell from the sky, blocking our way, and we had no way to pass." ”

Another mercenary said, "We followed Lord Karui and Lord Oscar, and it was clear that the road we were walking on was a road with no forks, and the road was very wide, but we only had a bottomless cliff at the end, and we didn't find those two adults. ”

Ma Li and Deyun secretly screamed in their hearts that it was not good, they had never thought that this kind of thing would happen before, and Deyun immediately arranged a task for Gailian next to him: "Scout, now please leave immediately, you and your men will go to the other three teams to deliver the news, and arrange two more people to find the missing two teams separately, understand?" ”

"Alright, got it, I'll go now. Little ones, hear me, let's go! ”

Although Gailian is a selfish, lazy, and greedy person who is afraid of death, he still knows the importance of things, and as long as he is not allowed to go into battle to kill the enemy, he is willing to do things.

Marley patted the four mercenaries on the shoulder: "Okay, let's take a break and take care of everyone's lunch." ”

Seeing that Ma Li didn't blame them, the four mercenaries thanked Ma Li again and again, but Ma Li knew that they were not to blame for this matter, after all, those people were not normal people, and it was indeed a little reluctant to let these ordinary mercenaries keep up with their rhythm.

At this time, Hawke was wandering around, and the map was lost, and he didn't know where he had gone, only that it was very flat and wide, with rock walls on both sides, and he couldn't see the top of the mountain when he looked up. It's a good thing that Gray followed him, otherwise he would have just dumped the three of them.

At this moment, Hawke and Gray were standing in front of a huge flower bud, which was born on the ground, about the size of a small house, with petals and leaves made of flesh, and the whole bud beating like a heart.

"Uh...... Shadow friend, what do you say is this? ”

"I guess it's a special plant deep in the glacier."

As he spoke, Hawke was about to poke the bud with his greatsword, but was immediately stopped by Gray: "Mr. Hawke, please don't do this, I think it's best not to touch this thing until you are sure that there is any danger in it." ”

"Shadow friend, you are really a poor simple guy, how can you know if there is any danger if you don't touch him."

Gray couldn't talk about Hawke, and immediately pointed to the neat circle of holes around the bud: "Wait, Mr. Hawke, you're waiting, look at these holes, you don't think they're holes dug by the mine." ”

Hawke, who heard Gray say this, laughed directly: "You can't do it, shadow friend, what's the matter, a few mineral spirits scared you like this?" ”

Hawke's laughter stirred up countless echoes here, and Hawke was still laughing, but Gray had already noticed the strangeness of the buds.

"Mr. Hawke, please don't make any more noises."

"Haha...... Laugh to death, you are afraid of the mineral spirits. ”

"Mr. Hawke, please pay attention to the bud behind you, it seems to be about to bloom!"

I saw that the bud opened some gaps, and after absorbing air violently, it expanded, expelled gas from the bottom of the bud, and finally shrank back to its original size, even though it was not small.

A house-sized bud breathed violently in front of a person, such a scene, who would not be nervous and curious in front of him, the answer was Hawke, he turned to look at the bud that was breathing a lot, and only said: "Hmm! What a living creature! ”

Gray clenched the blade of his fist and subconsciously took a few steps back, not because he was afraid, but to leave more space for his attack.

"Don't you think this thing is strange, Mr. Hawke?"

"What's so strange about this, a little girl can turn into a dragon, and there are witches who can travel freely in the void, and witches who can stop time, these are strange."

"Uh...... Mr. Hawke's experience is really rich. Gray was speechless, and it seemed that Hawke did not smell the danger coming from the bud.

Moreover, Gray, who had taken a few steps back, could no longer stop Hawke, and in Gray's frightened eyes, Hawke raised the giant sword in his hand, and then slashed towards the petals of this bud.

I thought that this bud would bloom with something powerful, or emit some poisonous gas, but when the giant sword slashed at the flesh-like petals, the whole body of the giant sword sank in, and then like a soft ball of water, it bounced back Hawke's giant sword, and there was no scar left on the petals.

"Hey? I've sharpened my knives! ”

While Hawke was inspecting the blade, a roar came from the ground around him, and it was clear to Gray and Hawke that it was the sound of a large area of movement of mineral spirits.

"Mr. Hawke, it looks like you just touched what they considered treasures."

The two of them could feel that the movement of the underground mineral spirit activity was more intense than every time they had encountered it before, because there were too many underground mineral spirits, and the two of them felt that the ground had turned into waves, wave after wave.

Boom! Bang bang bang! Boom......

The sound of breaking through rocks and ice sounded, and dozens of mineral spirits instantly rose from the ground to surround the two of them, including more than a dozen giant mineral spirits inside.

These weren't all the ore spirits that flocked here, and Gray could feel that there were some ore spirits gathering momentum underground.
