Chapter 189. The release of the main quest
Kant's face was solemn.
If it's really an enemy of the level of the Underworld Invader, then it's a problem.
In Pande's prediction, a team of 7 Underworld invaders can easily slaughter a regular army of 300 people, even if all of them are powerful Sarion Lion Knights, and the final result is a tragic end of the annihilation of the entire army.
It is difficult for ordinary humans to compete with the Noldor elves of Sunset Mountain, let alone the real demons of the underworld!
And at this very moment.
A system dialog box pops up on the retina instantly.
γDing... Main quest released]
[Main Quest: Secrets in the Cave]
[Rewards: 50,000 Dinars, 5,000 Fame, 5 Honors]
[Introduction: There seems to be evil hidden in this cave.] You decide to take the party inside and find the hidden secrets. The road ahead is unknown, but with the heart of the brave, you think you'll find a few surprises. γ
Kant's eyes flashed: "Main quest." β
The main quest has not appeared for a long time.
Now it is in front of this cave, and it is directly promulgated by the system.
Kant's mind fluctuated.
Think of what the Ranger Livingston said, and the ruins of the Lost City that he found when he first came to the top of the mountain, and even the solar disc that had been absorbed by the system.
"Something is wrong."
Kant looked at the deep and dark cavern and slowly clenched the knight's sword in his hand.
But he was going to go in anyway and have a look.
After all, this is the main task of the system, not a temporary task that can be abandoned, although it is not known how many dangers there are, Kant still turned his head and whispered to the soldiers who followed behind him: "Let the 50 Rhodok peasants all put down their work and stand by on the hillside to answer." β
"Understood." One of the Rhodoks nodded and climbed up the hill again with his pitchfork to summon the peasants, who were still toiling with their scythes, to the edge of the hill on the west side.
If anything.
These peasants, who are extremely weak in combat, may be able to hinder the enemy's efforts a little.
Not Kant coldness.
It's that there's only one role they can play in battle.
At the same time, the peasants took advantage of this time to prepare rudimentary torches made of sticks and shabby clothes, poured oil found in the storerooms of the Consulate, and made 20 torches, enough for three hours of lighting.
Everyone is ready.
The torches were lit, and the two Rhodoks slowly walked into the cave with them in their hands.
These two people are the first to investigate.
Although their combat effectiveness is very poor, if they find anything abnormal, they can immediately retreat, after all, they are only wearing thick leather robes, compared to the Mamluks who got up and wore Salander heavy chain armor, they are completely lightly armed, and they should be more agile and swift in speed.
And these Rhodok people, who were born in the Rhodok Mountains and have undergone a little military training, turned around and fled when they encountered dangers that they could not deal with, and there was obviously no problem in the slightest.
Kant advised them to flee back in case of danger.
This is also the confidence of the 2 Rhodoks.
The clansman at the front held a torch in his left hand and a sharp slaughtering knife in his right hand, while his companion next to him looked nervously at the inside of the cave, holding the pitchfork of the cold light that polished the front end with both hands, step by step, walking quite calmly, not daring to relax in the slightest.
There are so many white bones in the open space outside, even inside the cave, you can step on the bones from time to time.
By their weight.
The bones that stepped on the interior of the cave made a "click" cracking sound.
And the sound echoed through the cavern.
It was as if even the darkness had condensed.
The low roar that was still in the eardrum disappeared, which made the two of them feel even more solemn.
There is definitely a danger.
But the two of them still walked forward slowly.
According to calculations, they may have penetrated up to half a meter into the cave.
And from top to bottom.
It's downhill.
However, the air in the cave is quite fresh, without the slightest rancid smell, so that the two of them can settle down a little, no smell means that there are no beasts, and the air is fresh, which means that the water may flow inside, or the entrance to the cave that connects other areas, so that the air in the entire cave can flow.
This is an experience from the Rhodok Mountains.
But 2 stopped.
The torches were still burning, with a slight burnt stench.
The two looked at each other.
They all saw a little panic and uneasiness in each other's eyes.
They had gone far into the interior of the cave, close to a distance of more than 100 meters, and their entire body was cold and cold, even if they were wearing two layers of leather jackets, they couldn't help but shiver.
This is deep into the bottom of the mountain, otherwise it would never be so cold.
Let them feel the horror is still ahead.
The instincts of the Rhodoks told them that perhaps they shouldn't go any further.
In the area ahead where the torches could not shine, the darkness seemed to freeze there, and when they turned their heads to look in the direction they came, only a few white spots were still showing there, giving them direction and a little sense of security.
"Something is wrong."
The Rhodok, holding the torch, swallowed and foamed.
Looking at the darkness in front of him, the slaughtering knife in his hand clenched: "I always feel that there is danger ahead, maybe it shouldn't be the realm we should set foot in." After a pause, he asked in a low voice, "Why don't we go back?" β
"Butβ" The Rhodok who came with him also swallowed and foamed, "The task ordered by Lord Kant has not yet been completed. β
"Let's go." The Rhodok tribesman holding the torch took half a step back, looking at the darkness in front of him, and his heart became more and more afraid: "Lord Kant has instructed that if there is any danger, we can leave, he is merciful, we are only the lowest level of militia, not even regular infantry, feel the danger to leave, Lord Kant will not punish us." β
"It's... Is it..."The Rhodok nodded, his face a little pale, his hands clenched his pitchfork, and nodded, "Then let's go back..."
They decided not to go any further.
The distance of the probe is sufficient.
Didn't find any useful information though.
Even in their perception, if they continue to walk along this downward cavern, will they reach the legendary underworld where only the dead can live, and stay there forever, accepting the endless torture of trespassing into the underworld.
Thinking of this, they quickly turned around and retreated.
He ran as fast as if he had been defeated, with panic on his face.
Maybe it's scaring yourself.
But it always doesn't hurt for them to feel like they're running faster.
But when they ran out more than ten meters, in the solidified darkness behind them, there seemed to be an extremely tyrannical emotion, a pair of scarlet eyes instantly opened in the dark, with a certain anger, let out a low roar, extremely clear in the cave, and the sound reverberated more and more.
"Roarβ"
The two Rhodoks in the cave were running faster.
There was an extreme panic on his face.
Only now did they realize that it was wise to turn around and flee on their own.
Turning his head to look behind him while running, wanting to see what was going on in the depths of the cave, the Rhodok with the torch swept behind him, only to feel that his scalp was numb, and his whole head was blank, and he subconsciously picked up the torch and smashed it into the depths of the cave, and the body that fled was faster!
The two escaped from the cave out of breath.
Their minds were blank and they didn't even know that they should report back to Kant.
But Kant didn't care.
"Drag them out." Kant frowned and commanded in a deep voice, "The ranger is ready to shoot." β
The Mamluks, who were guarding the entrance of the cave and holding iron rods in both hands, directly dragged out the two of them, who were paralyzed by extreme speed and fear, and neatly blocked them in front of the cave, and the eyes under the helmet were extremely indifferent, but also a little dignified and shocked.
Right behind these seven steel-clad Mamluks.
The 10 Ravenston rangers have drawn their heavy battle bows into a full moon.
The cone-headed arrow had been placed on it with the open bowstring, and Sen Ran's arrow was aimed at the inside of the cave, his eyes were fixed on his target, and his breathing had slowed slightly, which was a shooting posture.
Even Kant tightened his grip on the knight's sword.
Gaze inside the cave.
About 50 meters away, the torch was still burning, dispelling the darkness within.
But they can see it clearly.
Opposite the torch, in the darkness deep in the cavern, scarlet eyes were staring out, their eyes revealing undisguised tyranny and hatred, and resentment that would slaughter everything.
And the chill was getting stronger and stronger in the cave.
Faintly shrouded Kant.
He didn't expect that the bottom of his "Aaron" village, close at hand, would be so in such a huge danger, if it was not handled well, and was not discovered by the careful Mamluks, it is estimated that after he left, he didn't know when, "Aaron", a village that had not yet mobilized troops, would be destroyed by the enemy, so that all the people stationed there would be wiped out!
The owner of the scarlet-eyed one inside.
All of them are demonic creatures!
And it is the most favorite of the demonized creatures to hold in groups, and the demonized wolf who likes to travel and hunt in groups!
Kant was sure.
I don't understand why these demonized wolves are afraid of that little torch.
But Kant knew that with the extinguishing of that torch, the hordes of demonized wolves were about to rush out of the cave and kill them!
"Whew-"
A terrible wolf howl rang out.
Similar to the wolf howl of the Gnoll, but definitely different.
Full of brutality, resentment, and the desire to tear everything apart from the beast to the extreme!
The torch is extinguished.
The layers of scarlet eyes in the cave rushed out like a flood, and the sound of the claws slapping the ground was accompanied by a low roar, which grew larger and larger under the magnification of the cave.
"Shoot!"
Kant did not hesitate to swing his sword forward.
The 10 Ravenston Rangers, who had already been ready, immediately released their bowstrings.
The cone-headed arrow tore through the air, and in an instant, it appeared inside the cavern.
Several pairs of scarlet eyes fell to the ground.
But the Livingston rangers did not pause, drew their cone-headed arrows from their waists, and continued to shoot with their heavy battle bows, arrow after arrow, like man-powered semi-automatic rifles.
The scarlet eyes were getting closer, but they were getting less and less.
"Face the enemy head-on!"
The seven Mamluks were still not afraid, raised their iron rods in both hands, and faced the black wolf's head, which was already faintly visible, and smashed down head-on.
With the miserable howl of the wolf, blood splattered everywhere and brains burst out.
PS: Recommend a friend's otherworldly lord article "Night Elf", which is also a desert, but Goldfinger is the elf clan + undead clan of Warcraft. It's still a seedling, but it's worth cultivating, you can go and help collect it~ It will definitely greatly alleviate the book shortage in the future. [.]
