Chapter Seventy-Four: The Nest of Flames
Until the rest is over, there are no underground monsters coming out to disturb them. So everyone quickly packed up their things and continued to march towards the depths of the dark region under the command of Jenn. Of course, Ralph and Liam couldn't resist their curiosity and came over to ask Jenn what was going on. Jenn did not hide their inquiry, and quickly told the truth.
It turns out that the reason why those underground monsters dare not approach is precisely because of the pile of underground mushrooms that Bix cooked. Although the aroma of this mushroom after roasting is saliva for humans, it is foul to those monsters in the dark regions, and when it is mixed with spices by Bix, its power is comparable to that of a poison gas bomb. Most of the monsters that rely on smell to find prey have a keen sense of smell, and they naturally can't stand this smell, so they immediately avoid it when they smell it.
Hearing this, Ralph and Liam couldn't help but be amazed, they only felt that the aroma was so strong, as if the barbecue was poured with a good sauce, just smelling it made the index finger move and the saliva did not stop. I didn't expect this smell to make the monsters in the Dark Region so disgusted that they didn't even dare to get close, which shows that the Dark Region is indeed an extremely magical place.
Soon, however, they were in no mood to marvel at the wonders of the Dark Regions.
The scorching heat of the pavement made the air extremely dry, and the lungs felt like they were about to burn just by exhaling. Although it was said that there was the protection of the holy light, looking at the place in front of them that was shrouded in bright red fire, everyone couldn't help but gasp "hot".
"Almost."
Jenn said as he stopped. It was only at this time that the crowd began to look at their surroundings. With the help of the Light, they could clearly see that this was a large underground cavern. However, unlike the other caves, the top of this cave is densely packed with hollows, which at first glance look like a beehive. Although faint traces of blood could still be seen, Jenn clearly didn't plan to follow any further.
"What is this place, Mr. Jenn? What are we dealing with? ”
Seeing Jenn's tidying up, Liam also knew that he was afraid that these were the main ones in front of him.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's supposed to be a salamander's lair, and it seems that these guys can't stand the loneliness either..............."
Saying this, the corners of Jenn's mouth curled slightly, and a hint of a smile appeared.
In fact, Jenn joined the patrol in order to take out the three nasty races that were wandering around his dungeon with the help of human hands. Among them, the salamander is the most headache for Jenn, although in terms of combat effectiveness, the salamander's combat effectiveness is a little worse than that of the bear goblin, and it cannot be compared with the dreadclaw, but it has a special skill that is very headache for Jenn -- punching holes.
That's right, salamanders like to dig holes and burrows the most, and what's more, the holes they make only allow themselves to pass through guò, and other creatures can't get by. It's like putting a house-sized piece of cheese in front of a swarm of rats, and you end up with holes everywhere you get gnawed. As the owner of the dungeon, Jenn has a deep hatred for these burrowing rats, and he is tired of receiving system prompts saying "Your dungeon is under attack" at every turn. These damn big lizards really enjoy digging the corners of their dungeons, and thankfully Jenn has a unit like the Banshee that can pass through the walls, otherwise it would be a real headache to get rid of these salamanders.
But this kind of cat-and-mouse game can get tired of playing back and forth, and in order to get rid of this group of guys once and for all, Jenn plans to clean up this group of guys once and for all. However, on his own side, there is still a bit of a shortage of manpower, but with the help of these humans, then it will not be a problem.
"Salamanders? Is it hard to deal with? ”
Hearing this, Liam also hurriedly asked. In the face of Liam's inquiry, Jenn shrugged his shoulders.
"Salamanders are not a very combative race in the Dark Regions, but they are a menacing number, most of these salamanders come out in groups, they are quite aggressive, not only have fangs and claws that can pierce leather armor, but also can shoot fire from their mouths. But beyond that, that's it. ”
"But that's ..............."
Hearing Jenn's words, Liam and Ralph both looked at each other and smiled bitterly, Jenn said that these salamanders were "nothing more than that", but these things were a hundred times stronger than the beasts they saw on the surface! Holy Lord bless, you must know that on the surface, although there are some magical beasts, they will only haunt the inaccessible places. Even if it is a mercenary, the most they can do on weekdays is to deal with things like wild wolves, and it is bad luck to be able to encounter two or three magical beasts. It's good now, in the dark region, this demonic beast is simply counted by groups............
But at this moment, a yin and yang strange voice came from the side.
"So according to Mr. Jenn, there are more troublesome magical beasts in the Dark Regions than these salamanders?"
Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed slightly, and they looked towards the place where the sound came from. I saw Cotton standing there with a sneer, squinting at Jenn. Seeing his expression, Ralph's expression changed slightly, and he obviously sensed that something was wrong. Liam, on the other hand, was at a loss, as a paladin, his strength was not bad, but he was not very proficient in human affairs. Like before Jenn defeated Doro with one move, he was only amazed by Jenn's strength, and he didn't want to appease Cotton at all, which made Cotton even hold a grudge with the church.
And Elise and Bix also stared at Cotton in disbelief with wide eyes in surprise, completely unaware of what he was thinking. Both of them were born in the dark region, and in their hearts, they respect their strength, according to the rules of the dark region, Jenn has already shown his first-class strength, so other people are not as good as others, so naturally they are obedient and obedient. This law in the dark region, like a stone will fall to the ground, is simply the truth of the truth, how much strength this Cotton has, Elise can naturally see at a glance. At this moment, seeing that he dared to confront Jenn here, almost stunned Elise. For her, it was like someone claiming that the sky was round and the earth was round, completely breaking her own common sense!
Obviously he is just a high-level warrior, but he dares to go wild in front of His Royal Highness the Demon King, is this human brain still normal?
Cotton naturally noticed Elise's surprised gaze, but he didn't just retreat, but raised his head more and more proudly, squinting at Jenn. Men like to show their faces in front of women, and Cotton is no exception, and after observing along the way, he also found that Elise did have a vague fear of Jenn. That's why he had to deliberately stand up and show his attitude of "not afraid of power", and at the same time attract Elise's attention.
Now it seems that the plan is quite smooth.
Thinking of this, Cotton suddenly felt certain in his heart and looked at Jenn again.
"How? Mr. Jenn? Do you want to tell everyone about it, what is more dangerous than a salamander in this dark area? ”
Hearing this, Ralph's brows have wrinkled into the shape of "Chuan", as the leader of the mercenary group, he has traveled south and north for so many years, and no one has seen him. Just look at Cotton like this, you know that something is wrong. But Liam obviously didn't think about it so much, although he felt that Cotton's tone was a little rude, but he did want to know more about the Dark Regions, so he spoke.
"Yes, Mr. Jenn, please tell me about it."
"Okay."
Hearing Liam's words, Jenn glanced at him, then nodded. As for Cotton, he didn't look at it from beginning to end, as if there was no one at all.
"Actually, it's nothing, if you use the surface as an analogy, then the salamander is just the level of the wolves. In the dark regions, there are many monsters that are more difficult to deal with, and the most troublesome of them are the dreadclaw, they are tall, their claws are sharper than long swords, and their bodies are covered with thick carapaces, which are invulnerable, and even magic can hardly damage them. In the Dark Regions, the Dreadclaws are some of the toughest opponents, and no creature wants to compete with them. ”
"Isn't even a paladin an opponent?"
Hearing this, Cotton asked again. Obviously, he also found out that Liam was an honest and deceitful person, so he simply tied him up and was safer. That way, even if that bastard had any ideas, he wouldn't dare do anything to the people of the Templar Church.
"Okay, we'll talk about these boring things later."
But Jenn didn't hear Cotton's question, just waved his hand, and then looked at Liam.
"Now it looks like the salamanders are the ones who are attacking the patrol. They live in lava, but we don't have the skills to do that, so the only way to do that is to lure them out and fight to the death......... Are you ready? ”
"Mental preparation? Is there anything peculiar about these salamanders? ”
Originally, Liam was also a little concerned about whether Cotton said that the paladin could defeat the monster called the dreadclaw, but after hearing Jenn start to get down to business, he quickly put the thought behind him. After all, Lord Locks' task is obviously more important than idle chatter.
"Yes."
Saying this, Jenn restrained the expression on his face, stared at everyone, and nodded sternly.
"Salamanders are relentless in dealing with intruders who enter their territory, which means that once they find out that we have invaded our territory, they will attack us with all their might, and don't expect them to flee because of heavy casualties, all creatures in the dark regions have a strong sense of territory, even if the salamander dies until the last one remains, it will not escape. So as long as we send a signal, then we have to face the siege of hundreds of salamanders, and we must be mentally prepared to fight to the death.
That's right, that's why Jenn hasn't dealt with salamanders all along. Salamanders are about the same number as goblins, but they are not as cunning as goblins, and they can run away if they can't beat them. Instead, they will die to the end, and in the face of this kind of enemy, they must rely on numbers, and the total number of creatures in the entire dungeon under Jenn's current command is less than fifty, and it is still too difficult to deal with salamanders with those aliens alone. And Jenn didn't want his men to suffer in such a place.
But what about these humans............ Hey, hey, hey...............
"This ..............."
Hearing Jenn's answer, Liam also showed an embarrassed expression. Regardless of the strength of the salamander, this spirit of fighting to the death alone is enough to give people a headache. He also hesitated for a moment, and then looked at Jenn again.
"Mr. Jenn, do you think we have any chance of winning?"
"As long as you follow my orders, it is not a problem to destroy these salamanders, they are more than ferocious but have little intelligence, and it is not difficult to deal with them."
"Good!!"
Hearing this, Liam nodded vigorously.
"Then please, Mr. Jenn, let's destroy these evil underground monsters together!"
