The Nest of the Sword Spider (4)
The mine is stuffy and hot, and a little movement will make a long-lasting echo.
Dark vision allows Victor to clearly see everything in the dark, whether it is the spider web on the wall or the corpses on the ground. The artificially dug passage winds downward, and does not know where to lead. Along the way, there are corpses that are either leaning or sitting, all without flesh, only white bones and loose clothes. From the clothes, the identity of the dead can be vaguely distinguished, and most of them are adventurers. Many corpses also hold weapons in their hands. From their strange posture, Victor came to an unexpected conclusion-this mineral path is the nest of sword spiders. At least, it is connected to their nests. Otherwise, it cannot explain why a large number of spider monsters suddenly appeared on the path leading to Mivela Town.
Footsteps followed one after another, and Victor raised the staff embedded with the radiation-enhancing crystal and cast a dark technique on himself. Its body was soon surrounded by darkness and could never be found again.
Vina stood at the entrance of the mine gate, hesitating whether to go in.
She is a native of Davao Village, and of course she knows the legends about the mines. It is said that there is an extremely large spider monster in the deep underground, which has eaten all the adventurers and miners.
A woman is born with an irresistible fear of insects, but if she does not participate in the second level test, she will not have the chance to approach Victor Wood. If she cannot complete the task, she will lose commission. Not only did she work hard these days, but she also took the lives of Feli and Emma. After thinking about it, Vina finally couldn't resist the temptation of commission and walked into the black mine.
The last one to enter was the priest Pa'an. He walked slowly with a large hammer that blessed the holy power. There was a layer of fluorescent white light on his body. The magical technique protects the body from being killed by evil spells with one blow.
Going deeper along the mine, no evil mage was found, which made Pa'an start to worry, would many people have been attacked by him?
The purpose of the level of survival ability is to fight with candidates to screen the group with the strongest ability. Unknown to be powerful candidates will definitely choose to fight to remove the strongest ones first, but he does not know that the more concentrated the number, the easier it is to be the cheaper one. One range of magic can solve the siege candidates.
The rotten and fishy smell floated in the air, which made the priest care very much. With the help of the glimmer of magic, he saw the corpse lodging along the way. The terrifying death situation made the uneasiness in his heart gradually rise.
Are spider monsters appearing here?
At a fork, Pa'an found a relatively "new" body, and the clothes he wore were popular this year. His skin and muscles were well preserved, and there was no sign of maggots. This should be an adventurer who entered the mine through the legendary secret passage... After encountering danger, he got lost in panic and eventually died not far from the exit.
After making the above speculation, Paan felt that the corpse's death posture was a bit strange. Unlike other corpses that were dissolved by toxins, he could even see the painful expression on the corpse's face.
Frowning, Pa'an shook his hands and whispered a prayer of divine art. The magic array visible to the naked eye appeared from his feet, and with a sound of "boom!", a dazzling golden light rose from the magic array, and the extremely brilliant brilliance passed away like summer flowers, and disappeared in the dark mineral path.
Time passed little by little, and the corpses on the ground did not change at all.
Pa'an breathed a sigh of relief, but could not feel completely relieved. Just as he had just taken two steps forward and was about to explore it himself, the sound of "huh" sounded in his ears. He fell back quickly and avoided the blow that hit his neck. However, his left arm was not as lucky as the neck, and the wound that could see the bone made his whole hand hang softly on his side.
How is this possible?!
After rolling on the spot, Pa'an, who avoided the attack, quickly stood up straight and stared at the guy who attacked him - the corpse without signs of decay.
To be cautious, he also used the magical art of dispersing the dead. Why is this corpse that should be planned as an undead creature not only unharmed, but also able to move freely?
The dead man would not give Pa'an any reply. He stood up slowly from his sitting position, raised the blood-stained sword in his hand, and approached step by step.
"In the name of Mara!"
Pa'an waved the hammer, and the light yellow light attached immediately flourished, no less than the previous dispersal spell.
"Rest in peace, sleepless soul!"
With this ritual-like shout, the hammer hit the target before the sword. The head of the corpse was completely smashed, like a ripe fruit. With a bang, the white paste mixed with blood flowed down the already exploded head. Before Pa'an even had time to breathe, his sharp weapon pierced into his body, which was about to split the whole person in half.
"Drink!" Pa'an waved the hammer again, this time his goal was the heart.
After a muffled sound, the body with a hole in the chest and abdomen still showed no sign of stopping. The sword was slanted downward and Pa An felt his internal organs being smashed.
Sudden! Sudden! Sudden!
Three light sounds, the dead body's movement stopped, and then collapsed to the ground, and the limbs separated from the body and fell.
The tiny footsteps came from the fork behind the slanted back. Pa'an looked back with sweat, and his gratitude expression instantly frozen on his face.
It was not someone else who came, but Victor Wood, the evil wizard he was thinking about to get rid of.
[Oh my ~ This is really a strange thing.] The red dark light of the tongue stick drew surprise words in the air.
Victor began to follow him since he entered the mine, one was to avoid conflicts with the examiner and then be removed from the list, and the other was that he was really unwilling to reveal his identity as an undead creature. Most people might regard it as an evil wizard, but the priest who believes in life and the sun god Mara is not so stupid, and cannot distinguish between the dead and the living.
What surprised the Lich was that this corpse, which seemed to be an undead creature, did not have the breath of death it should have. It was not until Pa'an was almost killed that Victor took action. The reason why it chose to save people was just to know the reason.
Pa'an gasped heavily, and the wound on his abdomen made his limbs weak. He used a healing technique to make himself less weak. The sword just now almost killed him, and he could only barely lean against the wall to maintain his standing posture. With only one arm left, he was not sure that he still had a chance to win.
[You seem to need help.] Victor stepped forward, and Paan immediately raised the threatening hammer from the way he signaled it not to get close.
[Your state is like this, you will definitely not be able to live without my help.] Victor didn't get close, stopped in place, just stood there, less than ten steps apart.
"Hu...Hu..." The treatment only slightly delayed the pain and did not help the injury. Gradually, Pa'an felt that breathing was getting more and more difficult.
Poison…the poison of the sword spider…
He glanced at the sword that fell to the ground, and a layer of gray-black substance was stuck to the sharp blade. Because the smell in the mine was too complicated, he only smelled the unique odor of the sword spider. The toxin with a decomposition effect was rapidly dissolving his muscle tissue. Pa'an felt as if there were countless small insects crawling all over his body, which was itchy and painful. His vision gradually dimmed, and he knew that it would not be long before he could support it. He struggled to lift his sweaty head and grinned at Victor a few steps away.
"Can you detoxify this poison?"
[Although it cannot be cured, it can at least allow you to persevere until tomorrow.] Victor's mouth slightly bent.
"Come here..." He stretched out his hand for help, and had no choice but to choose the evil mage's help.
He walked forward and uncovered the clothes from the two wounds. The spider poison had turned his skin into a strange dark purple color, which seemed to be burned by fire. He took out the pain-relieving medicine from the magic bag he carried with him and handed it to Vien. Victor covered his cold fingers on the wound, and his pale fingertips quickly turned black.
Wei'an couldn't help but scream: "What are you doing?!"
[I cast a dark spell on your wound, and you must have noticed it. The method of using poison to fight poison can temporarily delay the damage of spider poison to your muscles. If the situation is good, you may be able to avoid the fate of being disabled.] The crisp green eyes looked very weird under the illumination of the weak magic font of the tongue stick, but Vian no longer had the extra energy to think about the reason why Victor saved him. The double pain took away all his feelings. When he was unconscious, he even had hallucinations. Because he seemed to hear the young mage whispering something in his ear, the special biting sound was both familiar and strange.
※※※※※※※※※※※※
Vina is lucky, but she is unfortunate.
Everyone found a secluded place to hide and wanted to stay safe until dawn. She walked forward for a while and then retreated back to the gate, and finally arrived at the intersection where Victor and Pa'an were.
"Clang!"
The echo of the weapon being unsheathed continued to echo in the quiet mine duct.
It's the target! But... why is he with the examiner?
The dim light made her unable to see clearly what happened to the two people close together. The smell of blood drifting in the air reminded Vina that it was an indisputable fact that at least someone was injured.
[If I were you, I wouldn't have taken action against enemies that were stronger than me again and again. At least, it's very stupid to attack head-on.]
The warning is very obvious, but unfortunately Vina can't understand the sarcasm of the lich. She held the demon-breaking crossbow in one hand and the dagger in the other hand, getting closer step by step.
"What he said is true. You chose an enemy that you cannot deal with." A strange voice suddenly sounded in the darkness.
Vina's face changed slightly. Apart from her, there were only Victor and the examiner who could not speak.
"who?!"
With a trembling low shout, revealing guilt and fear, a figure slowly walked out of the mine duct behind Vina. Compared with her dark skin, the long Misilian hair that was brighter and brighter by the chain marshal made of the exquisitely crafted chain marshal was more abrupt.
Vina's face paled a little bit with her silent steps.
"Night."
The dark elf bowed gracefully, putting one hand on his chest, but the other hand on the scimitar at his waist.
"For the first time, I met Baile Zaire, but people usually call me Frost wolf."
