When the huge body of the Fire Rock Centipede fell to the ground and twitched reflexively, the team members finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.
The exhaustion of using up magic energy and the huge mental pressure made everyone sweat profusely and panting.
"When the orcs appeared, I thought it was going to be over!" Beard said, thinking about it now, he was still frightened. Their sneak attack time was chosen so well. If Downton hadn't exploded and killed three tauren in succession, his own number would have been reduced.
It’s an instant advantage, but it’s hard to say what the final result will be.
"Yes, it's all down to Downton this time." Karim nodded and teased his companion, "I can't believe that your kid's combat awareness is so good!"
"This kid seems to have been born to fight." Dongba complimented. He considered himself cunning, but he would never be able to think of using a magic diamond to distract the enemy in a fierce battle.
The three mages and Lev didn't speak, but nodded, thinking that Dongba was right, and then they felt a little envious. Combat experience can be accumulated, but consciousness is purely a matter of talent. Without this thing, no matter how hard you try,
Achievements are ultimately limited.
Being praised by so many people, Downton scratched his hair in embarrassment. However, he was not complacent. Instead, he thought of the scene where he used the magic diamond just now. He did it on a whim, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a stroke of genius.
Zi killed three tauren.
"Spreading magic diamonds can be formulated as a tactic." Downton thought this was a good idea. Anyone who saw a handful of magic diamonds worth over 100 million scattered on the ground would probably be distracted for a moment. For him, that was
It's enough for him to chop off the enemy's head.
As for the magic diamond? Downton, which has its own dungeons, is most in need of this thing.
"Speaking of Downton, you are so rich. You can sell those magic diamonds. You are worth a lot of money. Why do you want to take risks?" Dongba said with a flattering look on his face.
"Do you even need to ask? Who doesn't want to be promoted to the dragon-slaying level? No matter how bad a person like this is, he will still have a noble title and a territory that will last him forever."
Karim rolled his eyes. Although the Western Continent is not in chaos and is full of wars, some areas have been having disputes over religious beliefs, disputed land, border demarcation and other issues. Small-scale wars have never stopped.
In this era, force is the foundation for survival and the guarantee for the country's survival and development, so civilians are proud to be magicians because it represents money, status, honor, and even a longer life.
Dongba shrugged his shoulders. Even a magic user with no ambition like him would aspire to become a dragon slayer.
"Downton, what is the level of your martial arts? Your attack power is very strong!" The female mage who likes dv recording looked at Downton. It seemed like casual chat, but it was actually purposeful. Downton's attack power was too terrifying.
, which posed a great threat to legal professions like them, and she wanted to find a way to defend against it.
"Dragon Slaying Stage!"
After all, they had experienced a team battle, and Downton didn't want to conceal it and cause the personnel to deteriorate. Besides, with Anthony and Rebecca here, people would have seen it with their eyesight.
"Hiss. No wonder!"
Most people gasped, and a few close combatants were even more envious. Even Lev, who mainly specializes in divine magic, was no exception.
Rebecca nodded imperceptibly, she had already noticed it.
"How much do you need to pay before you are willing to sell your martial arts skills?"
The bearded man endured it again and again, but in the end he couldn't hold it back. He had no choice. The temptation of dragon-slaying martial arts was too great. It was the most valuable thing left to future generations. As long as they were not too stupid, it would be enough for them to enjoy prosperity from generation to generation.
life.
"Sorry, not for sale!"
Downton shook his head, he was not short of money.
"Okay, enough rest. Let's get back to work!" Rebecca saw the beard and wanted to ask more questions, but interrupted the conversation to prevent her teammates from getting into trouble over this matter.
"Stop daydreaming. Dragon-slaying martial arts are very expensive, and you definitely can't afford them." Karim said straightforwardly, without any ill intentions, but hearing it in the ears of the bearded man made him feel very uncomfortable, and he cursed in a low voice.
.
"Downton, this is for you."
After Anthony dissected the body, he came over and threw a soul stone towards Downton.
"This is?" Downton didn't understand what the leader meant. The soul stone is a must-have for adventurers, used to preserve the soul remains of killed prey.
"No matter who makes a big contribution to the team, they will be rewarded." Anthony said that it is an unwritten rule in the adventure world. In addition to a good salary, team members with excellent performance can usually get trophies.
"The soul remains of elite-level monsters are worth a lot of money!" Dongba licked the corner of his mouth, feeling a little envious.
"Then I will accept it without any courtesy. Thank you, leader."
Downton was very happy. If he sacrificed this to the cheap god, he could exchange it for a judgment-level divine spell, or double the effect of the three basic divine spells.
Without waiting for Anthony's instructions, Ebu, the assassin in charge of post-war affairs, had already taken action. He first buried the corpses of the war dead, and then began to skin and extract the bones, cutting off the most valuable parts of the flame centipede. The corpse was too big, and it was impossible to
Can’t transport them all.”
"What a pity. How much would it cost if we had space equipment?" The new young people who joined were not used to this kind of waste, so they couldn't help but look back when they left.
Downton also lamented that if he brought the corpse back, he could use the abomination workshop in the dungeon to make at least two abominations.
The duration of the Lava Secret Realm is twice that of the Western Continent, so the dusk lasts extra long. Because there are so many volcanoes that are constantly erupting, the sky is filled with volcanic ash, and it is easy to lose sight of the sun. The only beautiful scenery is the glow of the glow in the evening.
It touched the clouds, leaving behind brilliant orange fire clouds.
Half an hour later, the group leader finally found a satisfactory cave entrance: "Get the magic stone lantern ready, Ebu will take the lead, Dongba and Valer will follow, and let's set off!"
The team members took out their respective lanterns from their backpacks and turned the buttons a few times. As the magic stone continued to supply energy, the magic lines on the lamp wall lit up, emitting a soft white light.
A lantern can ensure that the area within ten yards in diameter is as bright as dusk. A high-power lantern can be even brighter, but it consumes too much magic stone.
The cave is winding and jagged with strange rocks. The space is very wide at first, but as it goes deeper, the terrain becomes more and more irregular. In some places, it is only narrow enough for one person to bend down and pass through. This can make the team
The tough guys have suffered enough.
The team was sparse and spread out for more than thirty meters. Downton was sent to the second half of the team as usual, and the last one was Karim. He was using his keen six senses, otherwise it would be a disaster if he was attacked by a sneak attack.
When walking in such narrow dark terrain, the front and rear of the team are the most important, so these two positions are elite.
"Ah, the smell of sulfur is so strong. Isn't there an active volcano under our feet?" A female mage with long blue hair sniffed her nose and frowned.
The cave is too quiet, and the terrain is narrow, so any sound will be infinitely amplified, as if roaring in the ears, with constant echoes.
Kerala! Kerala!
That was the sound of falling gravel.
"I think the entire secret realm is on a volcano, and it may be covered by magma at some point." Karim recovered well after Lev's treatment. Except for the wound, which was caused by too much blood loss, his face was pale, and there was nothing major.
It's in the way.
Thumping!
A large group of dark red bats were disturbed, screamed, and suddenly flew out from the depths of the cave, drowning the adventure group.
Downton lowered his head and waved his hands wildly. He could feel the pain of the anxious bats hitting his body as they flew quickly, as well as the constant falling bat droppings.
"Ah, get out of here!"
The female mages couldn't stand this anymore, so they waved their staffs to release magic, and a large number of bats killed by the magic fell to the ground, and a burning smell began to permeate the air.
"Don't waste your magic energy!"
Anthony growled.
More than an hour later, the team was still moving forward in an orderly manner, and battles broke out from time to time in front. Because Anthony did not call for support, Downton and his party could only stay behind obediently.
What keeps attacking the team is a large monitor lizard over three meters long, weighing about five hundred pounds. They don't have any innate magic, but they are full of strength and their claws are sharp enough to tear through ordinary light armor. As for their mouths, they are even more powerful.
It's terrifying. The bite force can reach 5,000 pounds, and the saliva is full of bacteria. Once bitten by them, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced immediately. Without an antidote, you can only wait for death.
Every once in a while, the group leader will give orders for rotation. This is to allow the group members to conserve their physical strength. After all, it takes too much energy to open a path. However, this has nothing to do with Downton. As a paladin, he only needs to provide essential assistance.
Just work.
The field of vision suddenly became clearer. After walking through the narrow passage, the team entered a wide area, but there were still many strange rocks on the ground, and the top of the head was also full of jagged stone stalactites.
"We didn't see any footprints. We should have been the first ones to enter, but why didn't we see even a single herb?"
The boring and long march made Dongba impatient, and he grumbled. He calculated that more than three hours had passed since entering the cave, and the distance at this time should be more than fifty meters below the horizon.
"Hold on, I can already smell the treasure."
Anthony encouraged everyone, but as soon as he finished speaking, Ebu's exclamation sounded in the air: "Oops, we are surrounded."
"Ready to fight!"
Without the leader shouting, the silent atmosphere was broken by the sound of a sharp knife being unsheathed.
One after another, flame giant lizards emerged from the darkness and spread all around. Their roars were hoarse and low, full of bloody intimidation.
"Haha, it seems that the monitor lizards want to hold a welcome party for us!" Bearded man joked, but unfortunately no one matched his expectations.
"The number exceeds three hundred. It seems that they have premeditated to hunt us here!" Karim quickly counted. The monitor lizard's eyes were dark red, very eye-catching, and there were hundreds of hunting gazes.
Staring at the adventurer together makes one's hair stand on end. (To be continued...)
