Chapter 199: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

After Jasila scared Ammon a bit, the group continued to explore the tunnels, clearing out large areas of kobolds along the way. But what is surprising is that these guys are all adult males, and there are not a single female, child, old man, or warlock. Following the footprints left by the kobolds, everyone soon found a stone bridge that spanned a crack in the earth. The magma below was bubbling and bubbling, and the hairs of the people roasted by the temperature around them stood on end.

"I don't remember a place in the pit where someone must have used a spell to get it through." Jasila said with a frown.

Henry glanced at the dark cavern ahead and smiled. "Isn't that just right. The mastermind behind the scenes must be hiding inside, let's find him out and torture him to see what the conspiracy is. ”

"That's right! My patience has worn out in this pit. These damn kobolds are simply endless, how many do we kill now? Is it a thousand or two thousand? Apodell asked, wiping the blood from his face. Most of his body was now soaked in blood, and in the battle just now, except for the two mages, this son of Baal killed the most monsters.

Heng used magic tricks to help Apodel clean up the blood stains and replied, "At least fifteen hundred!" I really don't know where these guys got such a huge number, I believe that after today, the kobolds in this area should be almost extinct. ”

Aemon shook her numb arm, and although she used a short bow, she couldn't withstand the repeated pulling. The girl came over and whispered, "Oh my God! My arm was sore and sore. When will I be able to get out of here, I won't be able to lift it up in a while. ”

Jasila patted the girl on the head and said, "Don't complain, hold on a little longer." Everyone is tired right now. But this kind of place simply can't stop and rest. ”

Henry glanced at his companion beside him. Except for Apodell, who has awakened his divinity. Everyone else is exhausted. Especially Dinah Black. Her robe was soaked with sweat, and it looked like she was about to reach the limit of her strength. With his head down and thinking about it for a few minutes, he decided to speed up the exploration with a summoning spell, otherwise someone would faint in another hour.

With the sound of chanting incantations, Henry soon used three fourth-level divine techniques in a row, "Level 1 Summoning Animal Technique". As soon as the fifteen wolves crossed the summoning gate, they rushed to the other side of the stone bridge and began to explore the inside of the cave. They do not engage in frontal combat with the enemy at all under the control of the summoner, and soon the details of the entire cave are passed back.

Henry patted the wounded wolf and explained the situation to the others. "There was a group of kobolds in ambush across the bridge. Deep in the cave at the southernmost end of the two large spiders. There is also a ghoul on the west side, and a path on the east side that leads to the lower level, where quite a few kobolds are stationed. That's the approximate distribution of the enemy, and I suggest that it is better to go directly through the tunnels to the east. ”

"The scouting is pretty good, so you can avoid a lot of unnecessary fighting." Jasila smiled at Henry, then turned her head and clapped her hands at the resting man sitting on the ground. "Get up! It's time for us to go. The road ahead is not too far, and the mastermind behind the scenes is completely resolved.

The tired crowd stood up reluctantly, and they simply sorted out their equipment and moved on. Henry directly took out the fireball staff, and he did not skimp on the spells stored in it, and carried out the bombardment policy along the way. Most kobolds haven't had time to attack yet. It was blown to minced meat and charred corpses.

This explosive bombardment tactic was immediately met with praise from both Apodell and Ammon, and it didn't take long for them to make it through the tunnel. I came to an underground lake with a small area. The lake here is deep, and a winding path connects the hole in the center of the lake with the outside world. There were also a few kobold guards patrolling the door.

"Looks like you've come to the right place. Damn bastards! Let me see who you really are! Apodell's eyes glowed red, and he rushed over with his magic sword.

"Wait! Damn, this guy is always so impulsive. Jasila cursed, and immediately clenched her spear and followed.

In the blink of an eye, Apodell rushed to the kobolds, and before the little monsters could react, they had already cut off two of the dogheads. He wielded a sword in one hand and a fist in the other. In a matter of seconds, six or seven kobolds were hacked to death or knocked unconscious.

A guy with a javelin was the first to react, and he threw his weapon with great force. The spear flew from an angle unseen to the Son of Baal, and stabbed into the arm that held the sword. Apodell screamed, and the sword fell directly to the ground. He gritted his teeth and pulled out the javelin with force, immediately using his healing powers to repair the wound.

"Be careful!" Jasila shouted, then raised her spear and threw it with all her might. The weapon cut through a long parabola and hit a guy who wanted to sneak up on him from behind. The spear that fell from the sky pierced its body directly, pinning the little monster alive.

Henry quickly ran over and shot a magic missile at the only remaining kobold, and all five magic balls of light hit its head in the face, and it bloomed before it even had time to scream. After killing all the enemies at the door, Jasila immediately walked over to check the wound on his hand. It was found that after a few seconds of treatment, the wound, which was not very deep, had basically healed.

"Remember this lesson, and don't be so impulsive in the future." Seeing that the wound was fine, Jasila began to lecture Apodell a lesson.

The latter lowered his head and picked up the weapon without saying a word, knowing full well that he had just lost control. Tyranny and murderous emotions fill the brain, but there is no way to explain these to anyone else. He was now starting to wonder if he had demonic blood, because only these guys could have such crazy thoughts.

Henry senses that something is wrong with Apodell, and he walks over to stop Jasila's rambling reprimand. "Don't say it, don't you see that he is in a bad mental state."

Apodell shook his head with a wry smile. "I'm fine. Maybe I've been nervous too much or tired lately, and I always feel some inexplicable impulses. ”

"It's true that during this time, there was always a constant rush and fighting. Now let's hurry inside, it's time to put an end to this. Jasila drew her spear, wiped the blood from it, and led the way into the hole.

I hadn't walked a few steps inside when suddenly a strange-looking guy jumped out. He had russet skin and raised brow bones, and was clearly a half-blood ogre. "You must have been sent by Tazok to kill me, right? Those kobolds in the area, they must have deliberately let go of the road. Great Ciric, all the ore here has been contaminated, and I'm still going to be executed?! ”

Henry looked at the self-righteous half-ogre and laughed. I have to say that the strength of the brain supplement is really strong, and everyone hasn't said a word until now, and this guy in front of him has already speculated so many things.

"Who are you? And who is Tazok? Why do you want to pollute the iron ore here? What's the secret of the ulterior motives? Speak up, or I'll crush your bones one by one!" Apodell stepped forward and threatened viciously.

"Didn't you send it from Tazok? Then you are dead! Come on, kill them all! ”

With an order, a large number of kobolds and skeletons suddenly poured out from the corners of the cave, instantly surrounding everyone. The ugly half-blood ogre knelt on the ground and prayed aloud: "Great Ciric! You are the master of lies, the only true god in the multiverse! Please give a little strength to the humble servant, and let me kill all these false gods for you! ”

"Damn! This guy is actually a believer in that mad god. Jasila stabbed a kobold to death with a spear and cursed loudly.

Last year, in DR1368, Sirik used his divine power to create a "Shirek Sutra". This powerful tome proclaims that he is the only true god and will convince all living beings (not even gods) who read it. However, this guy was stupid enough to read the book himself, and he is now stuck in the lies he has woken.

Since Ciric has gone mad, most of his followers have become as destructive as their psychopaths. These people are hostile to all the other gods and their followers, and from time to time they cause riots or terrorist attacks. If you meet the priest of the gods, be careful, because they don't have any reason at all.

In such a cramped place, Henry did not dare to use magic such as "Fireball", "Dead Cloud", or "Lightning". His "Teleportation Domain" has been triggered by "Accidental", and the entire cavern is now an unstable teleportation field. Taking advantage of the enemy's dizziness, he quickly chanted a spell and completed a level 6 magic "chain lightning" before the force field hour.

The arc of lightning that shone with dazzling light quickly jumped between enemies, and all the skeletons and kobolds within ten meters were electrocuted almost instantly. Seeing that there were no more enemies around, Ammon quickly drew a flaming arrow and shot it at the priest in the distance. The flaming arrow struck the creature in the left shoulder, and the burning pain of the flames caused him to drop his weapon and shield and fall to his knees and wail loudly.

Apodell and Minsk quickly ran over and pinned the priest to the ground, trapping him with a rope. Henry and Jasila mended the kobolds who were not dead, and all the undead were burned with magical flames. With this done, Apodell picked up the captive roughly, ready to pry his mouth open with some penal code. (To be continued......)
