Chapter Seventy-Seven: An Unexpected Joy

As the minutes passed, the salamanders' offensive gradually became looser. As Jenn said, they don't have much intelligence in the first place, they only know how to rush forward. Now, under the attack of everyone and the magic blow of Elise, most of the salamanders are killed and injured, and finally there is no way to support it.

"Squeak!!"

With a scream, the last salamander staggered to the ground, and its hind legs struggled in vain on the ground a few times, and then slowly lowered its head, no more sound.

"Whew............ Call............ Whew........."

It stands to reason that now should be the time for everyone to cheer and celebrate, but in fact, not half of them smiled. They stared at them with wide eyes numb, gasping for breath. Whether it was Ralph, Cotton, Liam and others, they were all covered in blood at the moment. As for the others, it was no better, and the light shield in front of the paladin was only broken pieces. And those mercenaries and guards also suffered heavy casualties, and less than half of them are alive now.

And the scene in front of them is even more shocking.

Densely packed, thousands of salamander corpses were lined up one after another, the smell of blood, the smell of burning, and the peculiar smell of wild beasts, as far as the eye could see, all you saw were corpses. On the left is a corpse, on the right is a corpse, and in front is also a corpse. Although they were all battle-hardened warriors, they had seen many dead people in the past. But it was the first time to see so many corpses, and the extremely shocking scene in front of me alone was enough to make people tremble, and ordinary people might have already weakened their hands and feet when they saw it, and they might faint to the ground.

Of all the people present at the moment, only Jenn, Elise and Bix were still neatly dressed, and there was no stain or blood at all. Bix is naturally fine with Elise to protect her, and Elise, as a mage, will not get too close to those salamanders, so it is naturally impossible to get stained with blood.

But the strangest thing is Jenn, obviously there are the most salamanders in front of him, but he doesn't even have a trace of blood on his body. Not only that, but the salamander corpse in front of him was not lying on the ground like other places. If you look closely, you can see that all the salamander corpses are neatly arranged half a meter away from Jenn's body. It's as if there is an imperceptible line there, and neither life nor death can cross that line even half a step.

What a terrible power.

Looking at this scene, Ralph and Liam glanced at each other, and both saw the shock in each other's hearts. Although Jenn had already expressed his great power before, it was an instant after all, and it was really difficult to judge whether it was his own strength or the effect of the magic weapon in his hand. But now, they can already be sure that this young man is far superior to all of them. To be able to kill so many salamanders, but without changing his face and heartbeat, without taking a breath or saying anything, and without even the corners of his clothes stained with half of the blood, it is absolutely impossible to say that it is absolutely impossible to do without strong strength and exquisite swordsmen as the backing. Could it be that in front of them, there is really a legendary-level being?

Thinking of this, Ralph shook his head helplessly. How old is this young talent, he looks like he is only in his early twenties, how can he have such a strong strength? You must know that even if it is yourself, it took decades to reach a high-level level. As for the legendary realm, Ralph knew that he had little hope in his life. But the Jenn in front of him is so young, and he actually has the strength of the legendary level, which is really beyond his expectations, I really don't know how he practiced......... It shouldn't be that he stays in the dark region all day, so he has such strength.

"Huh!"

For everyone's gaze, Jenn just didn't see it, he just raised his eyebrows, glanced at the salamanders in front of him, and then put away the sword with his backhand, everyone only saw the sword light flashing in front of him, and the next moment the long sword in Jenn's hand was already back in the scabbard.

"That's ......... It's over? Mr. Jenn? ”

It was only then that Liam asked with some luck. The others also stared at Jenn with wide eyes, and after all the things they had been through, everyone had subconsciously regarded Jenn as the most authoritative leader here. Although it was said that there was protection from the Holy Light, looking at the corpses in front of them, they still couldn't believe that they could actually kill salamanders several times their size by relying on their dozens of people. Even if the corpse in front of them was so real, they still couldn't help but feel like they were falling into a dream.

Hearing Liam's inquiry, Jenn glanced at him.

"What? Are you going to do it again? ”

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that........."

Hearing this, Liam suddenly smiled wryly and waved his hands. Holy Lord bless, after such a fierce battle, even with the protection of the Holy Light, he already feels that his legs are weak and his feet are weak, and he will really be tired to death if he has another fight. Liam even felt a little unbelievable that he was able to hold out until the end of the battle. In retrospect, the only memories he had of the battle were the sword he wielded, the screams of the salamanders, and the firelight, all of which fused together to create an incredibly chaotic scene in his mind. Thinking of this, Liam couldn't help but shudder, and then he shook his head vigorously, leaving the previous scene behind him, and then continued.

"I mean, isn't there a leader among these salamanders?"

It's no wonder Liam is so confused, knowing that on the surface, among so many beasts, there must be a leader. So Liam had been secretly watching before, for fear of something like the King of Salamanders. Because of this, he was so surprised when he saw Jenn put away his long sword, logically speaking, they killed so many salamanders, could it be so dull and over?

"Hahaha, Knight Liam, I can understand that."

Hearing Liam's inquiry, Jenn hadn't spoken, but Ralph laughed and answered.

"Indeed, if you want to say that it is a pack of wild wolves or something, then it is not surprising that there is a wolf king. But Liam Knight, you've fought these salamanders too, and you should know that these guys don't want to die at all. In this case............ Hehe..............."

"Ah............ That's right. ”

Liam is not a fool either, and when he heard Ralph say this, he immediately reacted. Indeed, if there are other social creatures, there will definitely be a powerful BeingzΓ i who is responsible for commanding the whole clan. But these salamanders don't have this need, they don't have any intelligence at all, and they simply rush up desperately when they fight, so why do they need any beasts in this situation?

Even if there is a beast, in the face of the deadly fighting method of the salamander, I am afraid that it will be changed every three days and two days, and it will not live long. Naturally, there is no need to worry about their strength...............

"But that's not all, we still have things to do."

After listening to Ralph's words, Jenn just shrugged his shoulders and spoke.

"No............"

Hearing this, Ralph suddenly stretched his face.

"Are we going to fight those salamanders again?"

"No, there's no need for that."

Jenn waved his hand at Ralph's question, but was quick to explain.

"As I said before, salamanders are immortal, and now that they are gone, they are dead. But we still have to go to the salamander's nest and destroy their eggs. Unlike other creatures on the surface, these salamanders do not need to hatch themselves, they just lay eggs, and with the help of the heat near the lava, they can hatch on their own. So if we don't destroy their eggs, then in a few days, I think we're going to have to deal with a whole bunch of salamanders running around again. ”

"And this kind of thing?!"

Hearing this, Liam was taken aback. But think about it, with such a low IQ as a salamander, being able to survive in the dark region until now naturally has its own uniqueness. And the peculiar way of survival of the salamander group also happens to make up for their shortcomings. Even if all the salamanders who went out to forage for food were wiped out, their children would be able to gather automatically and become a new group of salamanders to continue to roam the dark region.

It can be seen that there are really few creatures in the dark region that are easy to deal with.

Hearing Jenn's words, the others were also frightened, although they were tired and their feet and legs were weak, but at this moment they still cheered up and followed Jenn towards the salamander's lair. I'm afraid that if I take a few steps slower, and then encounter a group of freshly hatched salamanders, it will really kill you.

Although salamanders have little intelligence when fighting, their nests are extremely hidden. Unfortunately, Jenn had already pinpointed the location of their lair on the system map, and had used the [Evil Eye] to investigate. So it was easy to bring everyone to their destination.

The salamander's nest was located on the banks of a flowing river of lava, and the torrent mixed with the scorching breath flowed slowly forward, and just standing next to it gave people a stuffy feeling as if they were about to lose their breath. Some mercenaries even felt that the closer they got, the more they felt as if they were standing in a blazing furnace. Luckily, the fire shield released by Elise was still there, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to stand.

But the most striking thing at this moment is the hundreds of salamander eggs on the banks of the lava river, which are brown and black as a whole, and half a person tall, so densely distributed along the riverside. Seeing this scene, everyone's faces changed drastically, and one can imagine how much trouble they would encounter if all the eggs of these salamanders hatched.

Thinking of this, everyone no longer hesitated, and immediately began to destroy these salamander eggs.

In addition to these salamander eggs, the group also found a lot of broken weapons and armor in the salamander's lair, and even uneaten corpses. Liam also found the insignia of several missing patrol knights, which also made him breathe a sigh of relief. Although it is said that the destruction of the salamander is also a fight against evil. But after all, the main purpose of their coming out this time is to find the culprit who attacked the patrol, and now that they have found this evidence, then Master Locks will have a good time.

Jenn did not participate in the sabotage, but leisurely enjoyed the scenery of the underground lava river. As for those salamander eggs, leave it to Liam and them to deal with it.

"Huh? Master, there seems to be an egg over there? ”

And at this time, Bix, who had been staying silent by Elise's side, poked her head out curiously and spoke.

"Oh?"

Hearing Bix's words, Jenn also withdrew his gaze and looked towards the place where Bix was pointing. In the lava river not far in front of everyone, an egg the size of half a watermelon could be seen standing in it. Bright red, hot lava lapped against its body, but it did no damage.

It's a lot of fun.

Seeing this scene, Jenn also narrowed his eyes. He could be sure that this egg was definitely not the egg of a salamander, and although salamanders were immune to fire, their eggs were very fragile. This is also the reason why salamanders place their eggs next to lava instead of inside. But now, the strange egg was erected in the lava, without the slightest trace of destruction, which inevitably intrigued Jenn.

"Elise, bring it here."

"Yes, master."

At this moment, Elise naturally noticed the egg, and when she heard Jenn's order, she nodded, and then stretched out her hand. Soon, with Elise's movements, a pair of magically formed mage hands appeared out of thin air, and quietly came to the center of the lava, easily scooped up the bright red egg, and brought it to Jenn.

It was only when he looked closer that Jenn realized how extraordinary this egg was. Unlike the black salamander eggs, this one is bright red all over, and the flames on the surface are like flowing water. It looks more like some kind of gem than an egg.

What exactly is this thing?

Thinking of this, Jenn curiously reached out and pressed it on the surface of the egg. But to his surprise, the place was not as hot as Jenn had thought, but rather cold to the touch, as if it had been made of ice.

Not only that, but at the same time that Jenn touched the egg, a system prompt suddenly appeared in front of him.

[The power of fate guides you, you have felt its pulse, its power. But as with all vague prophecies, you can never find out the truth about it -- get ??? (Unidentified)】

Seeing this line of system prompts, Jenn nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that this time it was really not in vain.
