On the other side, the scene of the monster cave.

The corpses of the Minotaur and the Headless Stone Demon outside the cave entrance were all dragged aside.

The stone devil, which is five meters tall, is still a behemoth even if it is thinned by steel balls.

But with the help of the two sisters, Yucca and Beria, they were dragged away.

The two sisters are like small trailers in human shape, showing strength that does not match their figures.

This is the charisma that transforms decay into magic.

The reason for clearing the monster corpses is to ensure that the lethality of the new minefield is not hindered.

Rebecca, the kitten lady, brought back a small packet of Cores.

Most of them are gray and white, but they are also worth some money.

In addition, she removed two pairs of horns from the top of the Minotaur's head, which is a good second-order material.

It can be polished into precious drinking utensils, or engraved with runes to make a magic horn.

In the body of the stone demon, there is also a mana stone the size of an apple.

As a special third-order mineral material, the blacksmiths' association purchased 400 crowns per piece.

As long as it is incorporated into certain castings, it can additionally increase its magical conductivity.

For these loot, as long as Chen Xuan, who does not occupy too much space, will choose to put it away.

It's not for the sake of the little krona, it's mainly that it would look weird if you don't take the core and materials.

Normally, after killing a monster, if the situation is in a hurry, even if you don't cut the materials, you will take the demon core.

Because the magic core is easy to obtain, and it is almost equivalent to currency.

If there are a large number of corpses left here that have not taken the demon core, and the cave is destroyed for no reason.

It might catch the attention of the Adventurers' Guild.

Chen Xuan has discovered that the aborigines have a relatively strict set of monitoring standards for the dynamics of the demon caves.

Any unusual change is likely to cause concern.

After all, his golden finger is capable of "eating" the cave.

Before it is "full", it is better not to leave too unusual clues as much as possible.

It's best to make the cavern look like it's been swept by a normal team of adventurers.

Know that the caves are both an abominable invader and a source of wealth for the Naroa natives.

This is a relationship and statement that sounds slightly contradictory, but it is the most real situation.

In the nearly 1,000-year-long history of the monster war, Naroa has experienced both ups and downs in all-out wars and periods of stalemate similar to the current one.

Each period lasts for decades or even a hundred or two hundred years.

During the all-out war, the continent was full of gunsmoke, and the number of monsters gathered was dozens of times more than the current one.

Huge cities have fallen everywhere, and tens of billions of people have become sacrifices to monsters.

The concept of a battle line no longer exists, because everywhere has become a frontal battlefield.

During the stalemate, as it is now, there is very little news about the Scourge.

Except for those frontline areas, everything else is uneventful, either the adventurer team has swept away a cave, or the monsters have destroyed a farm.

The two sides are in the stage of "small fights".

Any intelligent race does not have a long memory, and when the tragic years pass, a relatively stable life will paralyze people's nerves.

In the eyes of many people, the cave has become a cash cow.

And it's an inexhaustible kind.

Many adventurers and mercenaries today have a similar view.

For them, monsters have been equated with money.

So don't look at Chen Xuan's golden finger to devour the fragments of the Rose Key and permanently erase the cave, but such an act will inevitably cause an uproar in the eyes of the Naroa natives.

If it is exposed, trouble will ensue.

Even the Demon Tears in his hands were of great value because of the invasion of monsters.

No matter what happens, as long as it has a relationship with capital, it will become a bad thing, especially in the current stalemate, the aborigines do not feel too intuitive a sense of threat.

If someone is found to be able to completely erase the cave, such an act is tantamount to cutting off someone else's financial route.

At that time, Chen Xuan will be spurned and targeted.

Fortunately, from the current situation, the monitoring mechanism of the Adventurers' Association is still relatively traditional.

But he still has to be as careful as possible.

Detailed work such as cutting the core is no longer done to earn krona.

After everything was cleaned up, Chen Xuan laid the minefield again in the right place.

The next thing to do is to continue to "attract monsters" and use the minefield to strangle those monsters first.

But the strange evil parasitism made him vigilant!

This is also something that needs to be paid close attention.

The new round of "attracting monsters" was in charge of Dora Beria, and Chen Xuan personally put on the headlamp for her and told her seriously.

"Don't come into close contact with monsters!"

"When you see them, you throw this thing out."

"Check the magic jewelry again to make sure they all fire up smoothly."

Chen Xuan pointed to the MK2A3 egg grenade she was holding in her hand.

The Magic Shield will be Belial's first protection.

No matter what kind of parasitism it is, it must come into contact with the host itself.

When the dead female adventurer was rescued, all the magic in her body was exhausted.

Not only was his body defenseless, but he was also knocked down by a goblin.

During this time, the unknown monster known as the Eye Demon in the effect of [Insight] has many opportunities to parasitize her.

Therefore, Chen Xuan instructed Belial to let her avoid any monsters as close as possible.

As long as there is enough movement, the monsters in the cave will still pour out one after another.

"I, understood, master."

"Don't worry!"

Beria, who had a lively personality, winked at him.

Then he ran into the cave.

The glow of the headlamp flickered on and off several times in the dark cavern, and finally disappeared.

After about forty or fifty seconds, there was a "rumbling" sound from inside the cave.

"Boom!"

Chen Xuan and the others were waiting for the battle.

Rebecca and Yucca are both armed with two Beretta M9 pistols.

As an ambusher, of course, there is no need to foolishly rush up to the front.

It's best to use a ranged weapon to consume a wave first!

After waiting for less than half a minute, Beria's figure appeared at the entrance of the cave.

The super vision allowed Chen Xuan to see the excited expression on her face.

Speaking of which, the Dora sisters are really a "dog bold".

Especially when it comes to fighting, it seems that the sky is not afraid, and the earth is not afraid.

He always carries out the tasks he has assigned well.

"The hosts! Here it comes! ”

Chen Xuan's eyes were slightly condensed, and he did not press the detonator in a hurry.

Beria ran up to the big bluestone rock mass and jumped high and landed beside him.

At this time, a large number of monsters also appeared in the shadows of the cave.

Goblin wolf cavalry and spear-wielding black-skinned goblins were at the vanguard of this wave of monsters.

Behind them are three venomous scorpions, and behind one of the larger scorpions sits a goblin shaman with oil paint.

This guy is holding a totem and is constructing a mysterious sorcery.

The faster goblin wolf cavalry was attacked by Rebecca and Yucca's pistols as soon as they left the cave, and the power of 9mm ammunition was not too great, but it was still easy to deal with these monsters whose individuals were only of the first order, and each shot could burst out with a flower of black blood.

The shot reduced the ability of the Nightshade Wolf under the Goblin Cavalry's crotch to move greatly.

This makes it impossible for them to quickly get out of the coverage area of the minefield.

If the minefield wants to get the most out of it, it must make sure that all the monsters leave the cave.

When the three-headed scorpion came out of the cave, the viper sorcery constructed by the goblin shaman was about to take shape.

Only then did Chen Xuan decisively press the detonators in his hand.

After a short delay in pulse ignition, a series of explosions sounded.

Chen Xuan, who was hiding behind the big bluestone, could clearly feel the tremor of the ground.

"Rattle!"

"Ahh

"Woo-a-ka!"

A strange goblin screams rang out.

Accompanied by a high-pitched whistling of steel balls as they fly.

And the muffled sound of the impact.

By the time the commotion had subsided, most of the monsters had been strangled by the mines.

The worst of all are the goblins, which have poor defense regardless of whether they are green or black.

The difference is that the blackskinned goblins are a bit stronger.

But under the tearing of the steel ball, there is only the fate of becoming a stump.

Only one or two "lucky" goblins avoided the vital point, and the missing arms and legs fell to the ground and rolled and wailed.

Those poisonous armor scorpions are no better, although second-order monsters can protect their bodies with chaotic magic.

After breaking the defense, their sturdy chitin carapace was also deformed, shattered, burst out of green slime under the impact of a large number of steel balls, and finally died in the "rainstorm" of steel balls.

The strongest was the goblin shaman.

This guy has a pale yellow witchcraft shield on his body, hiding behind the corpse of the poison scorpion.

However, after the explosion was over, the two Dora sisters and the kitten mother put down their pistols and rushed over.

Chen Xuan held an M16A1 rifle to press them down.

The goblins that survived were all shattered by the two sisters' knives.

Rebecca dealt with the goblin shaman.

As a caster sequence among monsters, melee weakness is unavoidable.

Of course, like a succubus, a high-level monster that can cast spells and fight in close combat is another story.

Goblins themselves are inferior, and the shamans among them are naturally not much better.

I saw the rune dagger in the kitten lady's hand quickly stabbing at the pale yellow shield.

It didn't take much effort to break it.

The next moment, the dagger plunged into the heart of the goblin shaman.

Compared to the skillful battles of the two Dora sisters.

The kitten lady Rebecca's moves are much more monotonous.

The magic skills she has mastered are only the innate ability of the cat-eared clan [Spirit Cat Quiet Walk].

In terms of attack, it will simply stab and slash with a rune dagger attached to it.

In addition, she is trained as a basic scout from the Adventurers' Guild.

During this time, he learned the techniques of bandaging, pathfinding and peeping, as well as several common assassination moves.

Chen Xuan was going to find a way to collect some magic skills that were suitable for scouts to learn.

After you go back, you can first take out the [Second Order Stealth Technique] for everyone to learn.

After dealing with this wave of monsters, the third girl began to clean up the battlefield as usual, and he also set up a new mine array, preparing to draw a few more rounds according to the gourd.

……

"Boom!"

The faint sound of explosions echoed over the forest.

Although the movement of the broadsword mine is not ranked among the various explosive weapons of Blue Star.

However, the movement caused by multiple explosions in a row can still spread to a radius of more than ten miles.

It just so happened that within this range, there was a team of people who were persistently tracking the traces of Chen Xuan and others.

When the explosion sounded, Sorel suddenly raised his hand and signaled his men to stop advancing.

Old Bucky shrank back, and before the answer was revealed, the guy's heart was still worried.

"What a move!"

"It's really coming from the north!"

Listening to voices from a distance is not difficult.

The farther the sound waves travel, the more blurred they become, and the location of the sound source becomes more defined.

"Looks like that 'big fat sheep' is indeed in the north!"

"They're definitely fighting monsters!"

Sorrell Moran confidently voiced his speculation.

On the continent of Naroa, it's not uncommon to make loud noises in battle.

Many magic weapons and power-ups can do this.

So there is no need to have a concept of firearms, he can understand the current situation.

Just when Sorel was in high spirits.

His "counselor", Philippon Old Shoes, had a very different view.

"My lord, the momentum of the other party's battle is so amazing."

"I'm afraid it's not so easy to deal with!"

"And do you remember?"

"They're the ones who killed Cyclops' Henry's team!"

"At that time, there were no signs of battle on the body of the Steel Fire Dwarf Squad."

His words quickly cooled Sorel Moran's enthusiasm.

Speaking of which, this Philippon old shoe does have a few brushes, which is a relatively sensible guy.

His words made Sorel pat himself on the head.

"I'm so dizzy!"

"But our team should be able to deal with it!"

The infantry of the garrison is 12~18 people per squad.

Sorel's squad consisted of 14 people, including himself.

Moreover, their squad is strong, far exceeding the standard of ordinary garrison squads.

Among them, there are two people who have reached the peak of the bronze level, namely himself and the vice captain.

There are six people from the early to late Bronze level.

There is also a second-order spellcaster, who has been recruited into the team separately.

The rest of the team members are all at the peak of the Black Iron level.

The strength of such a lineup has far surpassed the squad of "Cyclops" Henry.

On top of that, their squad has a lot of gray income.

The equipment is quite well-equipped, and there are a lot of various magic items!

Although the garrison in the city basically has gray income, the other squads are different.

Most of them used the power of the garrison to collect a certain amount of money.

Unlike Sorel, they turned into bandits in their spare time.

In normal times, when patrolling the city, he took the opportunity to look for "lambs".

This kind of thing is considered a big taboo within the garrison.

If it was just a small extortion or receiving black money, the commander of the garrison and Baron Bezos turned a blind eye.

But when it comes to killing people and overselling goods, that's a taboo!

This is a very serious matter for any state city.

It will affect the credibility of the state city.

Yes, credibility is just as good in another world.

If the city of Naroa wants to prosper, it needs itinerant merchants, adventurers, and mercenaries.

Their various activities contribute a lot of tax revenue to the city.

As a military unit of state city autonomy, the garrison shoulders the mission of maintaining order in the city.

In such a situation, if rumors broke that the garrison was a bandit, the city's reputation would definitely be ruined, and the bad reputation would spread quickly, and soon no one would want to come to Magdam City to make a living.

Sorel's expression became complicated after his mind cooled down slightly.

In the past, they were invincible against other "lambs".

Even if it is a silver-level powerhouse, he will not provoke the garrison, after all, this is the face of a city.

usually wears the skin of the garrison, but over time he forgot how to write the word "cowardice".

But the current situation is different, and the annihilation of the "one-eyed" Henry squad is enough to prove that the other party is a ruthless person.

And they can no longer act as garrisons.

This made the atmosphere dreary.

But Sorel didn't stop there.

After thinking for a long time, he spoke.

"Don't act rashly when you get there."

"We can disguise ourselves as a large squad of adventurers."

"Judging from the movement, it is obvious that the other party has not yet entered the cave."

"Don't go too fast! It's best to find a chance to lurk outside the cavern! ”

After putting away the contempt, the guy became a lot more cautious.

Just now, he couldn't wait to urge everyone to speed up, and now he asked everyone not to go too fast.

The tension in Old Baggi's heart not only did not ease, but became more and more serious.

His instincts tell him that something not so good might happen.

Fortunately, at present, Sorel and others no longer pay attention to him.

So old Badge quietly came to the back of the line.

……

Within half an hour, Chen Xuan had arranged three more rounds of mine arrays.

Five rounds of minefields have slain, killing hundreds of goblins and nightshadewolves, a dozen venom scorpions, nine minotaurs, and four headless stone demons.

The variety of monsters in this cave is rather monotonous.

At the very least, that's all they can bring out.

No matter how much the Dora sisters provoked, the guy hiding deeper no longer reacted.

Various explosions have sliced the cavern mouth into a concave shape.

This allowed sunlight to shine and illuminate a small area at the entrance to the cave.

The air in the forest was filled with the smell of scorching, gunsmoke, and monsters.

Chen Xuan clapped his hands and decided to officially enter the cave.

"It's almost time to go in and see for yourself!"

After cleaning the battlefield for the last time, he commanded the women.

"Rebecca, Belial, come in with me!"

"Yucca, you stay outside with your detonator and look for a hidden spot to stand by!"

At the same time, several more scattered minefields were placed around the caves.

Including the big bluestone that they used as a bunker just now, broadsword mines were also arranged.

Yucca pouted, and her relatively calm personality made her not say much.

In fact, she would love to go into the cave and kill the enemy herself.

But Chen Xuan had his own plans.

He hadn't forgotten the companion-seeking female bee of unknown origin.

This indicates that someone has already targeted them.

Although he used [Insight] to check several times later, he still couldn't completely rule out the risk.

What if the other party does follow?

Then when he entered the cave, wouldn't he become a turtle in the urn?

So just in case, Chen Xuan had to leave a reliable person dormant outside.

At the same time, minefields are arranged.

If there really are bad intentions, this wave of mines will be enough for those people to drink a pot.

In addition, his [Same-Domain Flash] can only run away with two people at the same time.

If there is a situation in the cave, he can just take the little cat lady and Belial Flash and leave.

But if he takes Yucca with him, he'll have to make two trips!

To sum up, Chen Xuan must leave someone on standby!

……

In order to prevent the case of quantum reading.

The author Jun directly said: There is a time difference of one and a half hours between Sorel's tracking protagonist group, but this time has to be deducted from the time delayed by the protagonist's minefield clearance.
