An active volcano hundreds of kilometers away from Hurricane City, the magma that has just recovered its stability inside is still extremely hot, and the gas with the smell of sulfur rising up is very rich, and the magma bubbles that are still emerging from the bottom of the magma will still form a sputtering effect after bursting, causing the people who are wrapped in the protective force to suffer slight injuries.

A bald man clinging to the top of a dark red rock face, after poking his head out to probe the situation beneath the volcano, quickly jumped down and returned to his group, complaining. "Boss, why will we be given such a mission when we are about to return, we have gained enough this time!"

The bald man's complaint made several people sitting around laugh, but the captain, whom he called "the leader", had a sinking face. "Shut up, as long as we can infiltrate the newly built base of the Vertical Eyes Creature outside the lava mountain range to observe, the income we get after returning can let us spend half a year in Hurricane City!"

The bald man who was reprimanded smiled heavily, sat down and took out more than a dozen eyeball-like things from his waist bag, spread them on his hands and cheered one by one. "That's right, if it weren't for the fact that the research institute released the peeling method of the vertical eyes of the vertical eyes, our actions would be pure losses!"

A woman sitting next to the middle-aged captain muttered when she heard it. "One eyeball can be exchanged for hundreds of medium crystals, our harvest is already big enough, there is no need to risk it again!"

"Guarding the Northern Frontier, guarding Hurricane City, and expelling these vertical eyes is the duty of our Lord Diergos, and as a member of the guard, we have no choice!"

As soon as the captain with the badge on his chest said this, the team members gathered around him stopped talking, and the captain, whose eyes swept over the faces of all the members, actually had dissatisfaction in his heart. But for the sake of the task, he must do so.

This team that was specially selected to explore the vertical eye biological base has been hiding in this crater for three days, and if it goes well, it will only take half a day to reach the predetermined location, and after carrying out the exploration and collecting information, they can directly evacuate and return to Hurricane City for a long rest.

After more than a month of continuous action, this team lost eight members, and there were only twenty-two left in the original team of thirty people, but according to the general ten-to-one battle loss rate, this middle-aged man as the captain was already proud enough.

In dozens of battles, large and small, more than two hundred vertical-eyed creatures were killed, and most of them were team members equivalent to the level of first-level wizards. But under his leadership, the battle was fruitful, and the eight battle victims were all killed by the self-explosion of the eyes, so he was sometimes proud of such achievements.

The sound of a magma bubble cracking echoed in his ears, and the contemplative captain's heart tightened, and he immediately turned his gaze away.

The crumbling magma did not dissipate as quickly as it had before. Instead, it began to bulge in the bubbling magma, followed by the head of a lava giant wrapped entirely in lava.

"The brethren have already begun to act. They will draw away the Vertical Eye Squads that are blocked between the mountains. And then it's your business!"

The lava giant's voice was dull, but the news brought a smile to the middle-aged captain's face. "Xie Lu, thank you for your cooperation, I still need your help to break the queen at this time tomorrow!"

The lava giant, whose body was still half soaked in magma, said politely with an urn sound. "You're welcome, killing a few more can be regarded as being angry for us, these vertical eyes have made us lose a lot!"

He nodded at the lava giants who had come to report the news. The middle-aged captain turned to the team members and began to explain. "Everyone, get ready, you must be careful when you go through those regular points, we can't go back if we provoke a lot of vertical eyes!"

"Don't worry, we know what to do......"

"Boss. Once you've completed the mission, you're going to have a treat in Hurricane City......"

"Get up and get ready to work......

The team of more than 20 people quickly began to assemble, and the members who were resting on the rock wall were also awakened one by one, and with the sound of joking, cheering, and joking with each other, the middle-aged captain who had already jumped onto the rock wall at the top of the crater cheered up, and after using the eagle eye technique to confirm the safety of the route ahead, he was the first to jump off the mountain wall and start to move forward.

The terrain of the lava mountains is very complex, but the team led by the middle-aged captain has been here for more than half a month, and although it is not as familiar as the lava giants, it is definitely more than the vertical eyes creatures know about this area.

Seven members of the team who mainly protect themselves from physical strength, nine first-level intermediate wizards, and six second-level wizards are all the remaining members.

The middle-aged captain, who lowered his body and walked quickly on the path, although he remained calm in front of the team members, he was very worried in his heart.

The Vertical Eyes Creatures have established hundreds of defense points on the periphery of the Lava Mountains, and although they cannot completely block the way in and out, they have not heard of that team being able to break through the blockade of the Vertical Eyes Creatures for so long, and all the teams that try to leave the Lava Mountains have lost contact.

And after a while, he came to the bald man beside him, lowered his voice and reported with a smile. "Boss, those lava giants are doing a good job, and the vertical eyes of those fixed patrol points within ten minutes are gone!"

"Be careful, be careful! We're going to find out the status of the Vertical Eyes Biological Defense Point, and it is said that there are hundreds of Vertical Eyes in the large base!"

"That's a large base, and the one we're exploring is just a new one, so it shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

The bald man's casual tone made the middle-aged captain's face sink, and after bypassing the boulder in the corner in front of him, he opened his mouth to scold. "Don't talk nonsense, it's only safe to get back to Hurricane City safely!"

The bald man who followed the captain didn't mind such a scolding, and his head flashed to the side with a smile, and a few jumped onto the side of the rock, carefully continuing to probe the situation in the distance.

The team that continued to move silently only had the rustling of footsteps, and the surrounding rocks of various shapes were skillfully used, and as time passed, none of the patrols of the vertical-eyed creatures that should have appeared, but the breath of fire energy that remained on the road showed that the lava giants had appeared in these places not long ago.

The team remained quiet all the way, and a woman who was in charge of checking the traces after two hourglass hours suddenly sped up and came to the middle-aged captain's side, chuckling and complaining. "Boss, it's still the lava giants who are suitable to fight in such an environment, and it's really a waste for our guards to be sent on such a mission!"

The middle-aged captain who was speeding ignored it, carefully choosing a suitable path and continuing to rush forward, but after a while, he saw that the woman next to him did not leave, so he sighed lightly. "Those guys will lose a lot of strength when they leave the Lava Mountains, and if they don't rely on the terrain, their losses will increase dramatically, and the Patriarch of the Lava Giants, Gasri, is said to have been disagreeing with his people leaving the area to fight......"

The woman who followed the captain was out of her mind and immediately changed the topic. "Boss, do you want to say that the strength of the secret guards is stronger or our guards?"

The middle-aged captain, who was a little stunned, had a headache, but seeing that she was still persevering and waiting for an answer, he hesitated and explained. "We will win the battle at the squad level, but we will definitely lose if we fight in a group!"

The woman, who maintained the same speed as the captain, was a little unconvinced. "Boss, are you kidding?"

"The collective combat ability of the secret guards is not what you can imagine, and the large protective force field they have built through the secret method can resist attacks that surpass their own two levels!"

The middle-aged captain's statement shocked the woman who was following him, and her speed slowed down, and she was left behind in a moment...... (To be continued......)
