Now that the bugs had retreated, Fageni looked to see how the rest of the expedition was doing and whether there were any external injuries.

Mel Rhodes was casting a healing spell. There were only five normal explorers left including him, and one was sitting on the ground as if he had a mental breakdown. However, they could still move. If they jumped down now, it would still be too late to chase them.

Fageni lifted the collapsed man and put him on his back. "Retreat. This is not something you can handle, at least not with the current number of people."

"Please, Mr. Consultant!" Several explorers drank the potion one after another, jumped down the holes drilled by the insects, and pursued them. Mel Rhodes gave them the final spell.

"Can't you understand people?" Fageni was stunned.

"There is no way for monsters of this size in the Insect Path to turn back. If you want to catch up with them and kill them to save people, you have to do it now." Mel Rhodes said lightly, wiping the blood on his face and revealing that he could

He suffered horrific wounds while running outside to gather the explorers.

When Fageni and Mel Rhodes arrived at the mine elevator, the quickest ones had already descended.

Thanks to his strong physique, Fageni has recovered most of his injuries. "When did they start attacking, and they attacked the new mine tunnel?" He asked Ross when all the members of the group arrived.

"Those damn representatives of the Workers' Association reopened the dangerous mine tunnel you just came out of today, just because there are 75 cubic feet of fine gold left in it that has not been mined out." One of the first explorers to come down said angrily.

said.

While talking and Mel used magic to try to treat the explorer that Fageni had just put down, the three explorers who jumped out before came out with an unconscious adventurer, but one of them lost an arm, and the rest

No one was saved.

Except for the guy who lost his arm, the other two didn't even have any new injuries.

The effectiveness of the medicine is limited. Someone spontaneously took over the unconscious explorer, and then someone bandaged their wounds.

"After seeing it with your own eyes, do you know what kind of monster it is?" Fageni asked.

"A monster I've never seen before... hates light, has a basic sense of cooperation, is huge, especially its length, which is unpredictable. Finally, the first time you see this kind of monster, you will be mentally affected. But Mr. Consultant seems to

You're not affected by this, are you? Or the impact is very small, but I can't see it." Rhodes said without looking back.

"It's the latter." Fagni said: "If you can't escape quickly... later you said it was the first time you saw it, then it is the former."

Ross didn't say anything else. Seeing that the treatment had no effect, he took out a bottle of magic potion and drank it.

The two escapees that Fageni shot were retracted. When the ones on the other side were running away, two of them burrowed in headfirst and with their tails in last. They looked like normal big bugs.

He waited for the team to assemble, and then tried to recover the remaining injuries. After waiting for time to fully heal, Ross came over.

"Pursue through the holes dug by those monsters, and you might be able to find the lair of this group of monsters. However, it seems that these monsters have a certain intelligence. It's hard to say whether they will dig misleading holes like rabbits or mice."

Fageni looked at him. "These holes are not like this mine. If they collapse, they can continue to drill holes. What should we do?"

"Yes, is there any other way to complete the commission? If possible, it would be better not to take this risk." Another explorer said.

"At least some summons must be sent out first. Are there any such people among the group members?" Fageni began to think.

"Magic pet?" One of the explorers summoned his own little mouse.

"Alright." Fageni nodded.

"Only one." Ross sent him to do this, but there was only one and it was of little use.

"Don't you often use magic pets here?" Fageni continued to ask: "Then we can only try our luck and divide them into several teams, but they will not be unable to destroy the nest after finding it. After all, it is a narrow place.

The advantage of the number of people in the tunnel is greatly reduced. Is there a portable and powerful destroying device here?"

Rhodes had already left. The explorer next to him told Fageni that there were engineering explosives in the mine. It was troublesome to detonate them, and it was quite heavy. Carrying them would affect the battle.

That kind of earthworm with tentacles on its body, the tentacles were definitely not born with that earthworm. The evil smell made him couldn't help but be more cautious, so that it made him hesitate to move forward.

Fageni went to find Ross and told him about his plan to detach. "Also, what are you going to do after you find the nest of monsters? Kill all their cubs? Or do you want to find the source."

"Besides killing them all, is there any other solution? If we kill a few and then all run away, the association will feel that the commission is not completed, so what can we say?" Ross did not look back. The young explorer in front of him summoned him.

The demon pet ran into the blocked mine tunnel.

A quarter of an hour later, the mouse ran back. "Eleven forking roads were found." The explorer learned the information through the telepathic communication.

"Eleven roads, a team of four people, a little less, but that's it." Rhodes glanced at each explorer in the team.

"What do you think, Mr. Advisor?" another explorer asked.

"Does anyone know the magic that can allow remote conversation?" Fageni asked everyone first.

"Only four magicians will." Mel Rhodes answered without thinking.

"If anyone is worried about the strength of the team, we can explore two or three less passages. Although we may miss their lair, safety is the most important thing. I have a magician in my team, right?" The first half of the sentence is correct.

Everyone said that Fageni asked Ross about the second half of the sentence, and he nodded.

"Then let's do it." He simply divided them into eight teams. "The teams that are not equipped with remote call magicians will explore the remaining three passages in the order I will give when they find a dead end. The teams that are equipped with them will be divided into eight teams.

Report to me."

"If there is nothing else, let's set off immediately." Fageni set off.

Next, all the explorers headed towards the reopened abandoned mine tunnel. The first three caves were skipped, and then each new cave they visited was called upon to form a team to enter.

The last group consists of Fageni, Rhodes, Newt and a female explorer named Ansol.

Newt uses a heavy sword that does not fit his size, and he wears heavy armor. To be honest, it is difficult to use in a cave. And Ansol is a priest of the God of Contract and Death, and Rhodes is a spell scribe.

The team is quite reasonable.

During the journey, Fageni placed the fingertips of his left hand on the wall of the passage, hoping to use the vibration of the wall to sense the arrival of the Earthly Warcraft a few seconds in advance.

This cave is a new starting point for moving forward from the larger cave where the adventurer was rescued previously. According to the workers, the first monster appeared from here.

"May God protect you and me." Ansor simply prayed, and a dim white light flashed past the four of them. A cold but gentle energy flowed slowly through Fageni's body, and he felt himself

Can be mobilized. The four people began to descend to the height they were at.

During the journey, Fageni explained his best range of long-range attacks, and asked them to explain what they knew.

But as a light warrior and an advisor, Fageni was naturally placed at the end.

Newt has light-based magic power. When the magic power is released, even if the torch is thrown away, the four of them will still have enough light to fight. At the same time, he is also good at self-recovery.

Rhodes is good at status interference type, which mainly uses the spells of the change school to strengthen friendly forces. At the same time, his own evasion ability is also good and he does not need team cover.

Ansol is relatively balanced. She was once a heretic judge. She is good at a few low-level magical spells in the contract field and the death field. She can use a light scimitar or a scythe for close combat.

On the way, Rhodes covered one ear and gave several instructions to the other three teams equipped with remote communication spells. After that, the four of them arrived at a relatively spacious space.

There are some traces of black liquid dragging in this space, and there are three forked roads.

The one on the far left has no traces of dragging. The channel in the middle has few traces of black liquid dragging, and it is also the widest. The channel on the right is the narrowest, and has the most traces of black liquid dragging.

"What do you think this liquid is?" Fageni asked.

Newt, who was at the front, didn't reply and was on guard. He hadn't said a word since setting off, and Ansol, who had been introduced by Ross, didn't speak either.

The magician frowned and hesitated: "There is no way to judge. I never make unnecessary guesses. Mr. Consultant, based on your intuition, which way do you think we should take?"

Fageni observed the space carefully. "I need to think carefully about why they are in such an open place here..."

The liquids on the right side and the middle are not connected, and even though it is being dragged, it is not always being dragged, there is a section at a time.

There is no way to judge the starting position. Just like dragging a deer carcass, there will not always be blood. When the blood is almost gone, there will be no more.

Fageni took out the empty water bottle on his body and tried to put some liquid mixed with soil into it.

After he bent down, he could smell the fishy smell of the liquid.

"Bee colonies have an immovable matron, and some bees will carry food to the nest." Fageni observed it, confirmed that there was nothing unusual about the liquid in the kettle, and then closed the lid tightly.

"Assuming this applies to worms, there are more traces on the right side than in the middle, which means that the right side can reach the mistress faster than the middle one. Although the middle one is further away, it should be safer."

"Rhodes, tell them to go in the direction where there is black liquid, but if there is a lot of black liquid, just look for the smaller one. Let's take the middle one."

"Then how do you explain the passage on the left?" Seeing Fageni trying to use rationality and zoology to analyze it, Rhodes didn't seem to agree.

"Have you seen them? Do you think the tentacles on their bodies are like they are born with them?" Fageni asked. Why did these worms not attack the mines two years ago or a year ago, but only came now?

If they have nests like you said, they may have migrated here and they may be very small.”

"I think they didn't have those tentacles before, and they mutated into this shape recently. Maybe they used the passage on the left because it was safer," Fageni pointed to the unmarked road on the left.
