More than an hour later.

Richard and Waltz left Shambhala and went to the location of Mine 13 outside the town.

In front of a hill, Waltz stopped, pointed to a winding mountain road beside it, and said, "You follow this road all the way up, and it won't be long before you reach mine thirteen, where I am waiting for you." ”

"Huh?" said Richard, looking at the Waltz, "why, Mr. Waltz, won't you go up with me?"

"Goo-dong!"

Waltz took a sip of wine, looked at Richard deeply, then lowered his eyebrows and said, "Wizard, I am not like you. You have extraordinary power, and I'm just an ordinary person, not even an ordinary person, after all, I'm not young anymore.

More than half a month ago, more than a dozen strong men in this mountain mine, including my nephew Huanuo, were killed overnight, and in my opinion, this force is completely irresistible.

You're a wizard, so you naturally have the confidence to keep yourself safe, but if you really encounter the kind of power I mentioned before, how can I protect myself? Do I hope that you will help me? Forget it, I still don't cause trouble to you, Master Wizard, just wait here. ”

"Actually, if you go up with me, I will protect you if you really encounter danger. Of course, you don't want to go, and I don't force it. Richard said to the waltz, "After all, the initiative is yours, and if you want to stay here and wait, just wait." Are you sure that you will be safe at the bottom of this mountain?"

"This ......" Waltz's expression stiffened slightly, trying to justify something, but suddenly stuck in his throat.

Richard didn't argue with the waltz any longer, and walked along the path to the hill.

......

"Click......

Footsteps sounded, and Richard walked along the mountain road to the No. 13 mine on the mountain, and carefully looked at the mine. As he was looking, suddenly a faint gasp sounded behind him.

"Poof...... Puff ......"

Turning his head behind him, Richard saw the waltz, which had insisted on staying at the bottom of the mountain, running up panting and sweating profusely.

"Why, Mr. Waltz, you don't hold your mind anymore?" asked Richard, looking at the other.

Waltz opened his mouth and gasped for a few breaths, trying to get back to normal, and said to Richard, "Well, Wizard, I admit that what you said earlier has a point. I thought it would be a mistake to promise to take you out of Shambhala and here, because my safety cannot be guaranteed when I walk out of the tavern.

In this way, instead of staying at the bottom of the mountain and gambling my luck, I should follow you. I hope that Lord Wizard, you will keep your promise and really protect me in times of danger. ”

"I will. Richard said, then turned his head to look at the five mines in front of him, and asked Waltz, "You came just in time, as the owner of the mine, you should know better which mine the monsters killed came from." Point it out to me, save me the exploration of one mine after another. ”

Waltz listened to Richard's words, and his expression distorted slightly, obviously evoking bad memories. But after a while, he still raised his hand, pointed to a mine on the far left, and said, "It's the No. 5 hole over there—it was newly opened not long ago, and it was fine a few days before mining, but suddenly something happened." My nephew, Waranota...... When he was found, he was dead at the mouth of the cave. ”

"Well, mourning. Richard was reassured, and walked towards the fifth hole that Waltz pointed to, and Waltz followed quickly, and the two went straight into the mine.

The mine was empty, and the sound of footsteps kept echoing when I walked in.

"Click......

Richard and Waltz continued to advance, and after a moment came to a halt in front of a stone wall, where there was a glaring breach that revealed another mine hole behind.

Pointing to the hole in the stone wall, Richard asked Waltz, "Mr. Waltz, do you know what is going on?"

Seeing the breach, Waltz was visibly surprised: "Huh......! The mines were all planned for a long time, and there shouldn't have been such a breach, at least not in the first place, otherwise I would have known.

This breach should have appeared later...... After the massacre, I took a few miners with me, and I only dared to clean up the bodies of Huano and the rest of the people, and I didn't dare to enter here at all, I really don't know what the hell is going on......"

After a pause, the waltz became wary and asked Richard, "Wizard, you say...... Could this be the rumored passage to the abyss, could it be that the demon escaped from here and killed Warno and the rest of the mine's guards?"

In the end, Waltz's face became a little pale, it is true that he has some brains, but after all, his vision has not gotten rid of the limitations of identity and strength, and he will still be afraid of the legendary thing like the devil - the typical self to scare himself.

Richard looked at the waltz, shook his head lightly, without any fear, and whispered to the waltz: "Is it the entrance to the abyss, is it the devil living in it, it's useless to think about it outside, just go in and take a look." ”

As he spoke, Richard entered the breach, waltzed, gritted his teeth, and entered the breach.

......

After entering the breach, I saw that this was another slightly smaller mine, which was not much different from the mine outside. The only difference may be that the smell of fishy meat wafting in the air makes people think of a large amount of carrion piled together.

Richard smelled the scent, frowned, raised his vigilance, and walked forward, the waltz following suit.

After walking for about a few tens of meters, Richard raised his eyebrows, suddenly stopped, as if he had found something, and reminded the waltz: "Be careful!"

"Huh?" the waltz wondered, and then he heard a rustling sound coming from overhead, as if some insect was crawling overhead.

Waltz jerked his head up and saw a palm-sized black spider hanging there, as if it had been waiting for a long time, and spewed out a cloud of green liquid when it opened its mouth at him.

When Waltz saw it, his body stiffened, and his mind went completely blank for a moment, and he didn't know what to do to respond.

Seeing that the green liquid immediately sprayed into his face, Richard made a move.

The faint light on Richard's body flashed, his strength increased greatly, and he grabbed Waltz's body and lifted it hard, as if he were grabbing a child, and lifted it to the side with ease.

"Poof!"

The green liquid fell short and spilled on the ground.

Waltz was successfully saved, but there was no joy or rejoicing, as if he had been stupid, standing motionless on the ground.

At this time, the spider overhead saw that it could not be hit, became angry, made a "squeak" whistle, and was about to attack again.

Richard was not polite, his eyes narrowed, and as soon as he raised his hand, an ice pick condensed in his hand. With a hard flick, the icicle flew out like a dart and flew towards the spider.
