Chapter 198: The Pit

PS: Bow and thank you for shooting the UFO with an arrow to cast a monthly ticket.

Apodell waved Vascona excitedly. For a warrior, such a sharp magic weapon is comparable to his second life. Everyone simply packed up the loot on the ground, including two emeralds \ more than a hundred gold coins left by the gray wolf and a few bottles of magic potions. It seems that this bounty hunter is quite wealthy, and the average adventurer doesn't have so many good things.

It didn't take long for the group to arrive at the mine. The rock in the ground here has been hollowed out, creating a huge circular crater. The railroad tracks connect deep into the mine, and every now and then a minecart is pushed out of it. Jasila couldn't wait to get a look at the situation with the person in charge, Emerson.

From his mouth, it became known that the situation of miners going missing has been getting worse recently. According to the reaction of the people returning from the lower levels, it is a dog-like creature that is constantly sneaking up and destroying. If this continues, it won't be long before the miners flee in fear and the entire mine will be forced to shut down.

"Isn't a dog-like creature in the mine a kobold?" Ammon muttered quietly. Although she often skipped class to play when she was in Candle Castle, she still knew something about monsters.

Jasila felt that this matter was not so simple, and that kobolds were not capable of making the quality of iron ore worse. "Maybe it's kobolds, maybe there's some other monster. Let's go down and investigate first, otherwise it's useless to just guess here. ”

"Be careful. Kobolds excel at ranged attacks, and their spears, bows, and stone projectiles are all very threatening. Henry reminded everyone of this, and then blessed himself with the "Iron Skin". There's no room to dodge in the narrow tunnels. There, the advantage of a long-range attack will be magnified several times.

Just entered the cave. A strange smell entered everyone's noses. Apodell clenched his nose and cursed loudly, "Damn it! Where does this stinking smell come from? ”

"Bear with me. This flavor just speaks. The monster inside must be kobolds. Only they will give off the smell of stinky gutters. Henry blessed himself with a spell to filter the air before he began to breathe.

The group pinched their noses and quickly walked towards the stairs leading to the lower floor. They picked up their pace along the way, and finally encountered the first wave of enemies at the entrance to the lower level. It's a kobold assault team, and they attack as soon as they spot someone coming. Suddenly, the arrows "swished" over, and Khalid immediately raised his shield and put it in front.

"Quick...... Unleash the spell! I...... My shield holds ...... It won't last long. ”

Ammon dodged the arrows and fired back with his short bow. The two casters in the team chanted the spell quickly, and two seconds later, Henry was the first to complete the spell. He pointed at the kobold in front of him, and a large viscobweb fell from the sky. Trap these little monsters within a meter of height firmly in place.

Dina Hei took advantage of this opportunity to complete her spell, and the "lightning spell" instantly launched from her fingertips. White lightning bounced off the walls, killing a dozen kobolds in the blink of an eye. As a mage specializing in energy shaping, she is very good at this kind of magic that gathers and shapes energy.

Seeing that the enemy was dead, Jasila immediately ran over to check the corpses on the ground. As a veteran harpist, she is able to obtain information from enemy weapons and armor that no one else can detect.

Soon, she came back with a short sword and a bow and said in a loud voice, "Look! The bowstrings used by these kobolds are actually made of cow tendons. And this sharp dagger that is completely beyond the level of craftsmanship they should have. Someone must be behind the scenes providing weapons, and we're going to have to get down there and get this guy out. ”

Minsk excitedly shouted: "Evil guy! Boo could already smell the stench on him. Rush Rush! Kill all these little monsters who are screaming! ”

"From now on you'd better not talk. Otherwise, once the mastermind behind the scenes is alarmed, it will be troublesome for him to escape. Dinahei put her hand on her forehead and sighed slightly, apparently she had no hope of recovering her guard's intelligence.

The group followed the railroad tracks to the second basement floor. Suddenly, a miner ran up to him and shouted, "Help! Here they are...... There are too many of those little devils who are screaming. ”

Jasila was about to speak, when an arrow flew from the shadows and pierced the miner's throat. This act of sneak attack infuriated Apodell. He swept away the arrows with his sword, rushed into the kobolds, and went on a killing spree. These little monsters are no match for the Children of Baal at all, and ordinary short swords cannot pierce the protection of the armor.

In just a few minutes, the battle was over. Apodell glanced coldly at the broken corpse on the ground, and then wiped the blood from his sword. Without saying a word, he put his weapon back into its scabbard and dragged the miner's body to the side of the minecart. It wasn't far inside. The group saw corpses strewn across the ground, some of them miners and some of the guards in charge of supervision and security.

On the way to the next floor, everyone encountered a total of more than two dozen groups of kobolds. These guys are in teams of a dozen, constantly roaming the neighborhood, attacking as soon as a human appears. Henry has always been very radical towards these monsters that slaughter humans, that is, one kills one, ten thousand kills ten thousand. With the support of a large number of spells, the kobolds on the entire second floor were quickly cleared.

Jasila picked up a piece of ore and a bottle of poison, looked at it, and said to Henry, "There is a layer of poison on the iron ore here, and someone must have polluted this place with this poison." ”

"Take a few samples with you and give them to the professionals when you get back. Maybe they'll find a way to get rid of the toxin and get the whole mine back to normal. Henry grabbed a bottle of poison and a piece of ore and put it in his pocket. If he's not mistaken, he should be able to get a little more experience by bringing it back.

Apodell clenched his fists and slammed them against the wall. "These damn brutes, the entire second floor has been killed. Don't let me know who did it, or I'll smash his bones inch by inch! ”

Henry patted her on the shoulder comfortingly, watching his own kind being slaughtered by monsters was indeed uncomfortable. After resting in place for a while, the group continued to set off and entered the passage on the third floor. According to the person in charge, this is the last layer of the pit.

As soon as they reached the third floor, they were surrounded by a large number of enemies. A large number of arrows and javelins flew over, blocking everyone at the entrance of the cave in an instant. Khalid's shield had been punctured several holes, and it looked like it was no longer usable.

"Damn it! What to do, if you rush out of the gang, you will definitely be a range hedgehog. Apodell walked impatiently.

Henry blessed himself with a "protective long-range weapon" and sneered. "Leave it to me, this garbage will change its voice in a moment and the corpses on the ground. Especially in such a confined space, they can't even run. After saying that, he walked out of the road alone. He ignored the flying weapons and raised his head to chant a spell. The arrows were still a meter away from the body, and they were all knocked away by the invisible stand.

Henry didn't give them a chance to launch a second attack. He unleashed the "Death Cloud Technique" aimed at the most dense areas of the enemy, and the large area of poison gas killed countless kobolds in an instant. These little monsters with very poor physique are powerless in the face of this magic. Before even ten seconds passed, the kobold outside was already dead.

The "Death Cloud Technique" did not last long, and the poison gas slowly dissipated after a minute. Henry waved his hand to his teammates behind him. "Come out, the enemies outside are dead."

Apodell came out and took a look at the corpses on the ground, smiling and clapping his hands. "Well done! Only dead monsters are good monsters! Let's hurry up and clean up this floor as well, the atmosphere here makes me feel uncomfortable. ”

Jasila examined the corpse on the ground and suddenly pulled a red arrow from a kobold's quiver. "Look at what it is! They're using enchanted arrows! And each archer carried three or five with him. ”

Dinah-black instantly recognized the type of enchanted arrow. "It's a flaming arrow! It automatically ignites when it is ejected, and burns violently near the wound if it hits. Ordinary water simply can't be extinguished, and many adventurers like to use it to deal with monsters like trolls. ”

Henry looked at the arrow and laughed to himself at the guy who had carried out the plan. Actually equipping the kobold with expensive magic arrows, I really don't know if his brain was caught in the door. "Aamon, gather all these red arrows on the ground. Since the enemy has so generously sent weapons, we will reluctantly accept them. ”

"Ha Lu Ha! I've been waiting for this sentence for a long time. The girl quickly retrieved the magic arrow from her quiver. In a short time, she collected five quivers and two hundred flaming arrows from the corpses of hundreds of archers.

Ammon exclaimed excitedly: "This is a big profit!" A bag of forty arrows costs at least one hundred and seventy gold coins to buy. That's enough, enough for me to use for a while. ”

"It's best to be careful when using it, as these arrows will automatically burn the moment they shoot out. As long as the hand is loosened a little slowly, it is possible to burn the fingers. I recommend that you have a pair of leather gloves for a little protection. Jasila gave advice to the girl who got a little carried away.

Ammon blinked mischievously. "Don't worry, auntie. My nickname is Dexterous Aemon, and I don't need to be reminded of this kind of thing. Look at these ten nimble fingers, gloves will only bind them up. ”

Jasila shook her head helplessly. "Well, it's up to you to wear it or not. But it's better to get your hands out of my pocket, the one you're digging out is the bag for herbs. There's nothing of value in there, but there's a lot of poisonous weeds. (To be continued......)
