Chapter Twenty-Four: The Road Encounters a Clay Puppet
By the way, this entrance is no different from the others.
"Boss, do you have anything to say about this entrance?"
Loki lowered his head and rubbed his hands together with a curious expression.
"Nope."
I don't understand what this strange mind is thinking, does the entrance I choose have to be some legendary?
Put away your raging gossip soul, mortal!
There will be no sleeping beauty who has accumulated thousands of years of bad breath waiting to be kissed awake, there will be no poisonous apple that will die if you eat it, and there will be no little tailor who hangs the boss.
The reason why I chose this path is because I have walked it once before and am familiar with it.
Without explanation, I walked straight inside.
Phoenix followed.
Then came the little squeak, who came up to Loki, spread out a pair of front paws, shook the strong horns that grew on his forehead, and made a very regretful expression, but a pair of red eyes, full of disdain, made a voice that was almost sarcastic.
Chirping.
"Bed bug, you dare to despise me, you have the ability to fight alone!"
Loki was instantly furious, and rolled up his arms and sleeves to duel with Xiao Squeak.
Chirping.
Little Squeaked and kicked his hind legs, raising Loki all over the dirt.
"You..."
Loki was so angry that he almost fainted.
Lily tugged at the corner of Loki's coat and motioned for everyone to move away and follow.
Loki gave up and angrily followed at the back of the line.
Although the entrance of the tunnel is narrow, after advancing forty or fifty meters, the two walls of the tunnel gradually widen.
The ceiling, as always, is luminous fluorite, emitting a faint blue light, reflecting the scene in the tunnel clearly.
The rock walls on both sides were no longer as smooth as the natural hall from which they had just left, nor were they carved out of any reliefs, only the rough stone faces that were uneven and uneven, and the glowing grass that peeked out of the cracks.
"Boss, I always feel that something is wrong."
Loki crossed his arms and leaned over with a lewd look on his face.
I hummed and turned to him, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's, it's too quiet. Haven't even touched a single monster, boss, was that the same the last time you came? ”
As soon as the words fell, I stopped, looked at Loki's uneasy expression, pointed to a cloud of yellow mud not far away that could not be seen, and patted him on the shoulder with a heavy expression: "Congratulations, your crow's beak has been upgraded again." ”
Before Loki could react, he heard a low roar coming from not far away.
It seems to be the yellow mud that came from it.
"Damn, isn't it, boss, it's a hit when you say it, anyway, what is that?"
Loki was startled, drew his firebolt, and raised his hand to shoot it.
A choking smell of gunpowder emanated from the end of the firebolt, like a rising haze.
"Can you change the gun, Loki, every time you shoot, the people around you will be choked up, and you can't slow down for a long time, if you haven't known each other for a long time, I would have thought you were an undercover agent planted by a monster on my side!"
I waved my hand again and again, dispelling the heavy smoke, frowned, and dissatisfied.
Loki apologized and put the firebolt away.
In fact, it was not only on our side, but the ball of yellow mud that was shot was also hit on the body, and the thick smoke of the explosive powder was tightly enveloped, and it was not clear for a while whether it was alive or hanging.
"Boss, that guy won't be hanging up already."
Loki asked, staring at the smoke ball.
"No," I affirmed, "Level 2, one bullet can kill Level 4 in seconds, unless you're equipped with a magic gun and you're shooting explosive bullets." ”
"Boss, don't hurt people so much."
Loki's face was full of bitterness.
Sure enough, the powder ball dispersed, and the yellow mud, except for the blackening, was basically unscathed, and it still moved towards us with teeth and claws.
Lily was timid, and when she saw the hideous face of the yellow mud ball, she didn't want to think about it, and she waved a staff that was longer than her, which was a spell missile that didn't cost money.
A fist-sized spell missile, wrapped in a blast of wind and rain, smashed towards the body of the yellow mud ball.
The second-level spell missile is fatal to the monsters at the upper level and below the second level, and it is also not to be underestimated against the monsters at the upper and lower levels.
It's a pity that she is facing a fourth-level monster.
In addition to crushing the thin layer of floating soil on the body of the yellow mud ball, it is estimated that it only has the advantage of looking good.
Well, in the future, it will be okay to ask Lily to release spell missiles during the Chinese New Year, which is much better than fireworks.
I thought silently in my heart.
The phoenix's small hand had already received from its waist, showing the appearance of an eagle's claw, and in the palm of its hand, a milky white qigong bullet slowly took shape.
With a cute little white face, the light in his eyes became hot.
Drink!
With a coquettish sound, the phoenix's little hand pushed out, and the milky white qigong bullet was like a projectile, and with a bang, it hit the middle of the yellow mud ball.
After the explosion, the rubble and mud splattered everywhere, and the walls of the tunnel were covered with a lot of yellow mud.
The aftermath dissipated, leaving only half of the yellow mud mass still slowly wriggling, and after about half a meter or so, it finally fell to the ground with a bang, turning into a pile of black dust and dissipating without a trace.
Ding – Ding Ding.
Two silver coins rolled to the Phoenix's feet.
Very happily bent down and threw the silver coin into Xiao Squeak's backpack, and the phoenix was in a good mood.
"Boss, what's that weird?"
Loki saw that the mob was killed by the phoenix in one blow, and then he remembered the question he had just asked me, but was not answered.
"Clay puppets."
I bent down and picked up a piece of yellow mud with moisture, and when I crushed it with my fingers, it turned into a pile of irrelevant mud grains.
"The dirt is still dry, the moisture is not completely integrated, it must have just been born," I continued: "Judging by the birth rate of the monsters on the tenth floor, a few hours ago, there should have been a team that also passed through here, if they have the same purpose as us, it is estimated that the boss should have been killed by them, or they have been wiped out by the boss group." ”
"Boss, which do you think is more likely?"
Loki thought for a moment and asked me.
I shook my head and said I didn't know, "It depends on how strong they are." ”
Advancing more than ten meters, there was another clay puppet blocking the way, Phoenix didn't say a word, a qigong bounced down, blowing it into a pile of pieces, and then, happily put the coins and materials into Xiao Qi's backpack.
Keep your head up and continue to go deeper.
The closer I got to the boss area, the more certain I was that a party must have been here not long ago, and in a clearing around the third corner, I saw a thick pile of yellow mud blocks, and a tattered garment with blood stains.
I stepped forward and tried the stained bloodstains, which were fresh.
Presumably, the adventurer who entered here before was ambushed by the clay puppet elite in this place and was injured.
Moreover, the level of this group of people is not too high, and they are not experienced enough, so they should be a group of half-new and half-old.
In the cruel environment of the dungeon, any negligence is fatal.
This is especially true when it comes to them.
