Carol looked anxiously at the dark cavern, pulled out a gold pocket watch and glanced at the hands.

"It must have been almost two hours since they went in."

"One hour and fifty-six minutes, to be exact. Master. Eloville said with a smile.

Carol took a heavy breath and clenched the staff in her hand. He gritted his teeth and hesitated for a few seconds, but finally made up his mind: "Don't wait, let's go in!" ”

"But young master, it's not even two hours before the appointment."

"It's been a few minutes, and now there's not even a movement...... No matter, I can't wait any longer! ”

"Young master, it's very rude to be unpunctual."

"My comrade-in-arms is uncertain about his life and death inside, what politeness do you have to talk to me?"

"But young master, since you are your comrades-in-arms, shouldn't you keep the agreement with them?"

“…… It's such an urgent matter, why is there no tension at all when you say this? ”

"Hehe, that's what I'm proud of......" The drow girl was about to laugh, but suddenly, her half-squinted eyes widened suddenly, and her ruby pupils stared at the mouth of the pit tightly, shooting a sharp chill.

"Choke!" The thin sword quickly cut out of its scabbard.

"Vile?"

"Something is approaching. Evil breath...... It's a very powerful monster," the girl stared intently at the entrance of the cave, trembling slightly, her face a little pale, but her eyes flashed with blatant hatred and anger, "That's the greatest enemy of our Drow clan!" ”

"Vile ......" is in such a state that Carol has never seen before, he looked at his servant with surprised eyes, and after two seconds of silence, he quickly made a decision: "All the soldiers listen to my orders and prepare for battle!" Non-combatants, all evacuated now! ”

"Lord Carol, what are you ......?" the old mine manager, Captain Fernardo, hesitated.

"Major Lorence has said: We are responsible for this operation. I'll take care of the problem! Carol said loudly, and at the same time took out the staff and the magic guide book, and prepared for battle. The dark elves' spiritual sense is several times that of humans, if Eloville says that there is a problem, then there must be a problem, Carol is not only willing to believe in the girl's racial talent, but also willing to believe in her own ability to obey.

At this time, the captain of the group of armed soldiers, a non-commissioned officer chief of twenty-five or sixteen years old named Curacao, showed far greater determination than the civilian captain of ten thousand years. He lifted his shield in one hand and his sword in the other.

"Prepare for battle!"

It is worthy of the elite Eastern Army. Twelve shield-wielding soldiers stepped forward and formed a small arc, pointing their shields and swords and spears directly at the tunnel; The other eight soldiers took up their crossbows, quickly drew the strings and loaded their crossbows.

Seeing such a tense atmosphere, Fernando sighed, knowing that there was nothing to do with him.

"So, I'll evacuate with the miners. I'll do my best to get reinforcements over......"

"Thank you." Carroll said.

"Good luck!"

The old mine manager and the miners hurriedly disappeared into the mountain, and the armed soldiers who remained behind also held their breath and concentrated on the appearance of the enemy.

"I don't know what happened to Lu Xi." Carol whispered.

"The breath of life has not disappeared, they should be fine......

As soon as Elovier finished speaking, Lu Xi and the two girls had already run out of the pit out of breath.

"Carol, retreat!" Lu Xi shouted.

"Ah, I'm glad you're okay! Everyone, get ready to fight! ”…,

"Fight your sister! That's a ......

"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and the entrance of the cave seemed to be rushed by a huge impact, and suddenly the smoke and dust billowed and choked everyone. A silvery shadow flew out of the smoke, spun in half a circle in mid-air, and slammed into the ground.

Carol looked at it, and it was the silver puppet of Sehira, but it had broken an arm, and now it was smashed on the ground, and even more fragments and parts flew together.

"Abu!" Sehireu let out a distressed cry.

"Abu? How can there be such a frustrating name? Do you think it's a pet cat? Lu Xi couldn't help but roar.

"Boom!" A louder voice came, and rocks continued to fly out of the smoke and dust at the entrance of the cave, and a huge body like a rhinoceros knocked out of a passage through the narrow tunnel, rushed out of the cave, and finally revealed its true body in front of everyone.

"Sure enough!" Eloville gritted her teeth.

"Hey, that's an exaggeration." Carol stared dumbfounded, at the oppressive insect giant and blood-red compound eyes.

"What a big surprise...... Captain Curacao shook his head with a wry smile, his right hand holding the sword unconsciously filled with sweat.

It was a huge insect body like a rhinoceros, with a cyan carapace hanging all over it, red compound eyes flashing with bloodthirsty light, and two huge bone blades like praying mantis were still cold.

The highly educated Carol and the others instantly recognized the true identity of this giant insect, and ordinary soldiers without this knowledge could also make judgments based on the oppressive giant body and shape.

The most dangerous monster in the underworld, the Crypt Lord, the descendant of Mulens, the King of Rock Hide, and Rose the Spider Queen.

"Aha! I didn't expect that in addition to the little guy in the Norda Forest, there was such a good prey. Well, humans, it's really sweet and fragrant, and you don't have to worry about the food these days. ......The Crypt Lord shook his tentacles and let out a shrill laugh like chalk scraping a blackboard.

"Why did you attract such a horrible guy? Could this be the truth of the haunting? Carol pulled Lu Xi and asked loudly.

"Well, I guess it's the root of the haunting. In short, it's a long story......"

"That's a long story short."

"There's a cave in that mountain, which happens to be the home of this crypt lord. And we found this Mithril mine, dug and dug it, and we ran into its home. ”

"How could such a coincidence happen?"

"Don't ask me such a super-philosophical question!"

The Crypt Lord swayed his fat and huge insect body like a dance, staring at the crowd as if he was facing a great enemy, and kept thinking in pieces: "Food food food ......"

"I hate bugs!" Lu Xi muttered in a low voice.

"Actually, I'm ...... too," Carol whispered, having chosen to forget his pet at home, the garden-filled Moonlight Butterfly.

"Well, bugs are the most annoying." Sesileu crouched on the ground, wiping tears from his eyes as he pulled out his tools and began to repair his nearly scrapped puppet.

"Actually, I know this guy." Lu Xi continued.

"Huh?" Carol was dumbfounded.

"Or I'll talk to him, and we'll apologize, and maybe he'll let us go. Anyway, it seems that we dug up someone's house first, and it was our fault. ”

"Ahhh

Lu Xi wanted to say something, but Elovier had already reacted first, and with a wave of her left hand, the magical energy suddenly gathered into a cyan mist-like sphere, whistling and flying towards the enemy.

It seems that the Crypt Lord never expected that these guys who he regarded as prey would be the first to attack, but he subconsciously tilted his head. The mana ball hit the cyan carapace, leaving only a shallow trace, but it was enough to infuriate the Crypt Lord: "Quack! It hurts! How dare you sneak attack! ”…,

With the snap of the crossbow spring, the crossbow pounced on the Cryptlord with a powerful acceleration. At a distance of fifty meters, it was the moment when the crossbow's destructive power and penetration were at its strongest, but the crossbow projectile that could even pierce the iron armor only left a shallow white mark on the cyan carapace, and it could not even injure the enemy.

"Unless it's a siege crossbow, it's hard to hurt the Crypt Lord's carapace. Try to aim and shoot it in the eye! Lu Xi commanded loudly.

By this time, the Crypt Lord had raised his head in the air, and a scorching red ray erupted from its final and shot towards the soldiers with shields.

"Tear!" A translucent arc of light appeared in the direction of the flame ray, and Carol held her staff and whispered a spell, mobilizing her entire body of magic to maintain the crumbling magic shield. The clash of flames and magical shields caused sparks to splash and shine brightly.

"Soldiers! Assault! Captain Curacao let out a loud shout and rushed out of the shield array with his sword raised.

The warriors rushed to the Crypt Lord in a few steps under the leadership of the captain, and at this time, because they raised their heads to release magic, the insect's belly without the protection of the carapace was just exposed in front of everyone.

"Shhhh The steel sword was pulled suddenly, leaving a wound on the blue-black abdomen. Brownish bodily fluids poured out of the wound.

"Roar!" At the Crypt Lord's roar, four swords and five spears struck at the same time, slashing and slashing, increasing its wounds and pain.

"Get out of here!" The Crypt Lord let out a loud shout, and several worm legs stamped on the ground in succession.

The rumbling sound continued to come from the depths of the earth, and with this deafening loud sound, the ground began to rise and fall like water waves.

"Mallet? Get out of the way, everybody! ”

Lu Xi's reminder was half a second slower, and although these elite soldiers who had been through a hundred battles quickly reacted to dodge, the bamboo shoot-shaped stone mallets that suddenly rose on the ground still pierced the three soldiers, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere immediately.

A drop of the deceased's flesh splashed on Lu Xi's face, and he felt the hot touch, and couldn't help but be stunned.

This was a living person just now, but now it has become a torn flesh and blood......

As if noticing the situation, the Crypt Lord raised his large bone knife and swung it down at Lu Xi.

"Phew!" The huge impact force and the sound of metal colliding made Lu Xi suddenly wake up from his sluggishness, and he suddenly found that the blade was only less than half a meter away from his body, but he trembled and did not continue to move forward.

Sehira's puppet had somehow stood up. Lu Xi's clay puppet also seemed to sense the danger of his master, and he jumped out of the amulet and stood up from the ground.

The two figures, one silver and one yellow, held their fist blades in front of Lu Xi, and stubbornly withstood the Crypt Lord's slash with their metal and clay bodies, and even sank several inches deep. The silver golem was fine, but Lu Xi's clay golem had already exerted an ability far beyond its own quality, and it struggled to resist the Crypt Lord's increasingly heavy bone knife, and shocking cracks continued to appear on its body.

"Berencaster, what are you doing in a daze!" Sehireu shouted.

"Whew!" The second bone knife was raised and slashed in the other direction.

This time, it was Primra who stood in front of Lu Xi. The girl held her twin swords, and with her strange power beyond ordinary people, she resisted the giant blade that was almost taller than her body, but after all, she was only flesh and blood. In the face of such an impact, Prim Ramen was like gold paper, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Lim? Your uncle's! Lu Xi finally recovered from his shock, he raised his hand, and a small stone projectile flew towards the head of the Crypt Lord, and then suddenly exploded! …,

It's a simple stone projectile, but it's actually a little more difficult than the simplest dust or lighting techniques. It works by filling a small pebble with magical power and shooting it out, and the pebble suddenly explodes, injuring enemies with its scattered fragments.

However, according to Orucello: there is no magic of garbage, only magicians of garbage. Magic is not about showing off power, using the right magic at the right time, even the simplest magic, is how a good magician fights.

At this moment, the Crypt Lord wielded two bone knives, and the middle door was already wide open, and the stone projectile exploded in front of the door in front of it, and although the small gravel could not even penetrate its softest belly, it could at least temporarily charm the blood-red compound eyes.

Sure enough, the Crypt Lord let out a series of painful and miserable screams.

"Eyes! My eyes! Ah, I'm going to kill you, kill you! ”

Lu Xi sighed slightly, although the other party looked painful and crazy, he himself understood: the power of the stone bullet technique was still too small, so it would not directly blow up the eyes of the crypt lord, and at most blind it for a while. However, this one should be enough for a while.

"That guy can't see it, brothers, kill it!" Carol was the first to shout. He held his staff high above his head, and a ball of fire the size of a wheel brewed like a miniature sun.

The Drow Elven Maiden leaped and leaped like a light ape, and climbed lightly onto the back of the Crypt Lord. She wielded her sword in both hands and stabbed with all her strength into the knots in the chest and abdomen of her foe.

Obviously, Eloville's saber was not ordinary, and even pierced through the carapace, which even the impact of the crossbow could not do, and half of the sword was inserted.

The Crypt Lord writhed his body and swung his bone knife and worm limbs wildly, as the fireballs gathered by Carol and the steel fist summoned by Sehiraeus slashed at its head, causing the powerful underground monster to nearly faint. It stood up again, struggling to trample the ground with its feet, and the powerful dark magic in its body continued to be released, as if it could not be exhausted.

Magical phenomena such as earthquakes, ground thorns, cave streams, flames, and thunder and lightning are constantly appearing and raging with impunity. The so-called indiscriminate punching to kill the old master, under such a crazy indiscriminate attack, everyone could only parry with difficulty for a while, and there was no way to take the enemy. Accidentally, two more soldiers were swept into it by the Crypt Lord's magic, and in an instant, their bones were gone.

"Boom!" A beam of lightning as thick as a tree trunk swept over like a giant club. Lu Xi put a wind wheel spell under his feet and immediately jumped into the air to dodge the ferocious attack, but his clay golem didn't have such good luck. The puppet, which was already close to being scrapped, was swept away by lightning and shattered to pieces.

"Damn it!" Lu Xi almost crushed his glutinous rice teeth. Although this clay puppet is not a good thing, it is also the first construction doll since he embarked on the path of a mage, and everyone is impressed by their first time.

If it were normal, Lu Xi would definitely ask everyone to step back and wait for the enemy's magic to run out before giving it a fatal blow. However, now that Elovier was still holding her sword, she was lying tightly on the back of the big bug, and who knew if she would be killed by the Crypt Lord's crazy actions.

"Anyway, we're going to have to snatch Vile down first." Lu Xi said. At this time, he didn't have time to feel sorry for the dead warriors and his own dolls, after all, the living people are the most important.

"But what to do?"

"I'll go!" Carroll said.

"Come on. You're just a hard-working magician, how can you be so good? Lu Xi gave him a blank look. …,

"Or, let my Abu go ......"

"How could a puppet make such a difficult move!?"

"But ......"

Lu Xi wanted to say something, but Primra was already moving. She flung the short knife in her left hand, letting the long chains wrap around the swinging bone knives. As the Crypt Lord stood up in pain, Primra took a few steps forward, swinging into the air with a run-up and chains.

The girl changed the trajectory of her flight several times in the air with the pull of the chains, avoiding the attacks of fire and lightning. She loosened her chains and performed a beautiful front flip that scored 10 points, landing lightly on the Crypt Lord's back.

She grabbed Elovier's waist and forced the elf girl to let go of the thin sword in her hand, and then made the same move just now, a flying back again, and landed steadily beside Lu Xi with a light cloud and breeze, and a chic posture that did not take away a piece of dust.

This, live out of a female version of Taishan. However, no matter what, Lu Xi had to admit that although Lipu was a girl, she was really handsome in the few hits just now......

"Okay, now a qiēshun lì! When that guy runs out of mana, we're going to do spider dry. Lu Xi said with a smile.

Unfortunately, things didn't go so smoothly. The Crypt Lord seemed to have regained some of his senses after feeling the person on his back leave. It stopped casting its magic, flickered its tentacles to feel the dangerous air around it, and seemed to quickly catch the direction of the tunnel. So, it turned around, and with a gesture that would never get rid of the mud and water, and with a faster movement than it had come, it rushed to the black hole.

"Boom!" With a series of crashing sounds, the Crypt Lord's massive insect body quickly disappeared at the end of the tunnel, not taking a cloud with it.

"Why is this scene so familiar?" Lu Xi scratched his head and smiled helplessly. In fact, with the Crypt Lord's huge body and powerful magical power, if he really wants to escape, he really can't do anything about it.

"We, a few rookies, are actually able to drive away the golden third-order monsters? This...... Should it be celebrated loudly? Lu Xi sighed, but he couldn't be happy anyway. He heard the sound of dense footsteps behind him, and when he looked back, it was a full team of more than 100 soldiers rushing over from the other side of the mountain road, and he vaguely saw several giant men with giant crossbows on their backs—it was estimated that they were a minority with giant blood within the Federation.

It seems that this crypt lord's sense of touch to seek advantage and avoid harm is much more sensitive than his own.

"Speaking of which, this is the second time I've met him. Is this world really small, or is this also the so-called fate? Thinking of this, Lu Xi couldn't help but shudder. He saw such a scene: the group of armed soldiers, except for the two seriously wounded lying on the side, the other people were under the leadership of the captain Curaçao, with solemn and sad expressions, carefully excavating the flesh and corpses of the dead soldiers on a messy battlefield, and trying to restore them as much as possible.

Now that the atmosphere around them had recovered from the tension of the battle, the boys and girls realized that just now, the five lives had silently turned into flesh and blood in front of them, and there were no corpses.

Fear and trembling in hindsight eroded the relaxed soul like poison, and an unbearable weakness and nausea dominated the minds and bodies of the people. Carol and Seyriul looked at each other, and threw themselves on the ground retching in agony; Elovier was not so out of shape, but her face was bloodless and pale, only Primra still stood expressionless, but her shoulders trembled slightly, and it seemed that her heart was not so calm. Lu Xi, the only one who had a human life in his hand, looked at these teenagers and girls, and sighed heavily.

Perhaps, it is only today that these children have really transitioned from the role of students to the military.

"But if this is the price of growth, it will be too heavy." Lu Xi looked at the clay parts in front of him that had been reduced to pieces and were completely impossible to repair, and muttered to himself in a low voice.
