Downton rushed in front of Juliet, and the liquid mass opened with all its strength, like an umbrella, blocking all the acid.
Hu Tao reacted quickly and opened the shield immediately, but instead of joining Downton, he picked up his battle ax and eagerly prepared to fight.
"come over!"
Downton let out a low roar and waved one hand continuously to bless everyone with the three divine arts.
"I do not need!"
The man in black robe yelled, and as soon as he said this, both Mueller and Twilight's eyes froze.
The acid poured down on the ground like a heavy rain, instantly withering the vegetation.
"fighting!"
As soon as Cindy finished shouting, Earth Dragon swung his body and hit the ground hard.
boom!
The soil splashed and the surrounding leaves crackled.
The incoming monster is said to be an earth dragon, but in fact it is not a giant dragon at all, but belongs to the family Anlinidae. It also has a name, called earthworm, but its size is larger than a century-old python.
Downton was holding an ancient bone bow. Except for occasionally shooting a few arrows to interfere with the attack of the earth dragon, he was on the defensive most of the time.
The same was true for the others. Even the demon servants were not released and moved with Cindy.
In addition to the earth dragon, there is also an unknown monster hiding in the dark and watching eagerly, so everyone does not want to waste their fighting power, they just want to get rid of them.
For Cindy's careful team, this was the most correct choice, but it was a hardship for the Minotaurs. They still had sixteen packhorses and plenty of supplies. At this time, they became a burden. Running under the night, they fell.
Personally, I fell on my back.
"We can no longer run, we must fight!"
The chief roared angrily, and his men immediately grasped the totem pole and shouted, God of War, their fighting spirit soared.
"We haven't even reached the Devil's Crack, there's no need to fight with them here!"
The dwarf brothers don't want to fight. After all, they have nothing to lose.
"No, I have lost all my supplies. What if I go to the underground world? Will I become a beggar?"
The chief had good eyesight. From the attack power of the earth dragon, he deduced that it was a hero-level monster. There was no problem in annihilating it if only his own people took action.
"Cheapskate!"
The man in black robe muttered but had no intention of taking action.
"Su Ya, kill it and I'll give you 10,000 gold coins!"
The chief offered a reward. As for Downton, since he had been ridiculing him these past few days, he was embarrassed to ask for help.
"good!"
Su Ya let out a war cry, rushed towards the earth dragon, and then ejected into its belly like lightning.
boom!
The huge earth dragon was knocked and rolled out.
"What should we do?"
Mueller looked at Cindy. He seemed at a loss, but he was actually stalling for time. Minotaurs are very good human shields, and it would be unreasonable not to consume them.
"Swift victory."
Cindy would rather have a few more orcs to attract fire and die in the demon rift, lying here, which is really of little value.
Twilight waved her staff and chanted a spell. She started to cast spells. She seemed to know a little bit about all five major magics. She was always able to choose the magic just right and use the least amount of magic energy to do the maximum damage.
"I'm going to monitor that monster!"
The man in black robe didn't want to fight and found an excuse to leave.
Downton's archery, because it has a built-in locking magic, the arrows are not missed and the damage caused to the earth dragon is not small.
The dwarf brothers looked at each other and rushed forward with big axes. These two guys were obviously conserving their strength, and their postures with ease showed that they were very powerful.
Muller let out a long cry, held his two-handed sword and killed him. However, before he could attack, he was swatted away by the Earth Dragon's tail and fell more than fifty meters away.
This bastard's way of being lazy is always ingenious.
"Full firepower!"
The chief roared, and when he saw the members of the group passively fighting, he was so angry that white air kept coming out of his thick nostrils.
No one responded. Except for Twilight, who cast spells faster, everyone else remained the same.
Cindy sighed, these people are very vigilant and are afraid of being cheated.
"Downton, what do you mean?"
The chief saw one of his subordinates being beaten away by an earth dragon and suffering a broken chest. He couldn't bear it anymore and fired at Downton.
"Means nothing!"
Downton's face was expressionless.
"Then why do you keep stopping that little loli and not letting her do anything?"
the chief asked.
"Are you in charge?"
Downton asked rhetorically.
"You bastard, we are a team, why do you want to retain your strength?"
"Yes, you are obviously a paladin, but why are you hiding behind and attacking with a bow and arrow? Do you still want to be shameless?"
"And the girl behind you, what else can you do besides hiding? She is simply a burden!"
The tauren are all stubborn. If they disagree, they will start to accuse and abuse them. They don't care about face issues at all.
"They say the tauren are honest and honest, and I saw another side today." Downton sneered, "Are you okay with letting a little girl fight?"
"She is not an ordinary lolita, she is very strong!" the chief retorted, "At least she is more powerful than my subordinates."
"Then let your subordinates work harder!" Downton's eyes turned cold and he stared at the tauren, "Don't think that I'm easy to bully. There are so many people who retain their strength. Why are you looking for trouble with me?"
"We are not familiar with each other, so there is nothing wrong with retaining your strength, but you have gone too far." The chief was upright and just said a dirty thing.
"Let me use all my firepower, no problem, then you can also summon all the demon servants!" Downton was annoyed, "I tell you, if you make me angry, we will probably break up."
"Humans, don't be too arrogant."
The chief retorted, not as thick as before. This guy is actually not stupid. He knows that these temporary companions are saving their strength. Even if they help fight, they are to prevent him from dying too quickly. The ultimate goal is to make him a target underground.
.
For the tauren, this is a dead end. If they don't fight, they will lose too many supplies, but if they fight, others will not contribute. His original intention is to crowd out his 'companions' and make them take action, thus consuming their combat effectiveness. However,
So far, it seems that the plan has failed.
"Don't they say that human beings care about face? Why can this young man keep his composure?" The chief was very depressed. Downton is definitely a different kind.
No one tried to smooth things over, everyone watched Downton compete with the Minotaur.
In any team, dignity is achieved with fists. Without some strength, others will not take you seriously.
Even though they broke up, Downton did not stop. Instead, he attacked more fiercely, shooting arrows, and the irritated Earth Dragon went even more crazy.
"Release the demon servants and kill them with all your strength!"
The chief couldn't wait any longer. Relatively speaking, his men were relatively weak. The longer they besieged Earth Dragon, the heavier the casualties among his men would be. After all, except for the silly troll Su Ya, no one really fought.
Boom!
Earth Dragon was pierced through the head by Su Ya and fell to the ground. The chief immediately took out the soul stone and extracted the soul remains with incredible speed.
"What are you waiting for? Get the magic stone and cut off all the valuable parts."
The chief gave orders, his greedy attitude clearly visible.
"Huh? We are also entitled to a share of the spoils, right?"
The dwarf brothers were not happy.
"Here, the body belongs to you."
"What use do we need for corpses?" The dwarf brother was angry. Do you look like a fool who doesn't know anything? "You took away all the valuables and gave us a pile of rotten meat. Can't you make sense?"
"You didn't put in much effort, but you gave me a bunch of corpses. I'm already being very kind." The chief rolled his eyes and spat on the ground.
"Okay, consider us blind."
"Bah, poor guy!"
The dwarf brother looked disgusted. If he had known better, he would not have taken action. Downton did the right thing. There is no possibility of cooperation with this kind of orc.
Muller, who has always been a good-for-nothing, couldn't help but shake his head. Along the way, the tauren were poor and stingy. They cared about everything and really couldn't get on the stage.
"Go quickly and leave the body to the demon wolf!"
The man in black robe quickly returned and urged everyone to get on their way.
With the free lunch, the demon wolf no longer hunts the team.
Cindy's estimated time was correct. At noon the next day, everyone arrived at the entrance of the Devil's Crack.
This is a long and narrow rift valley that gradually goes downwards. Viewed from a high altitude, it looks like a cracked mouth. The protruding rock walls have uneven layers, just like the teeth of a monster.
A joint caravan was already resting here. In addition to their own guards, they hired two mercenary groups. Before Downton and his party could get close, they were stopped by a scout team.
Because there were many similar group arrangements, Cindy didn't spend much time negotiating successfully with the caravan leader.
"They agreed, but they want a security fee of 80,000 gold coins, so pay for it!"
Cindy was very happy because she knew the principal, so she could pay less this time, but there were always people who were dissatisfied.
"Why do you still need to spend money?" The chief was unhappy and refused, "I want money or not, but my life. It's up to you!"
"Your guide is not kind. We have already paid the money, why do you still need it?"
The tauren felt they had been cheated and sued Cindy.
"This is common sense, do you understand?"
Cindy was furious.
"don't know!"
The tauren are making jokes and don't pay.
"faster!"
A mercenary deputy captain was standing nearby, urging impatiently that in addition to the money given to the chief, the mercenary group also needed a sum.
"When faced with a crisis, we not only have to help fight, but we also have to provide money. This is so unreasonable."
"Yes, why is it stipulated that we must go at the end of the line?"
The tauren complained loudly, causing the people resting around to look at them.
"Because people are worried that we are spies and will destroy the caravan. As for paying, if you are not afraid of death, you can go through the devil's rift alone."
Su Ya chewed on a piece of meat and explained, but unfortunately the tauren didn't listen at all.
"Damn it, it's my misfortune, I'll take your share of the blame."
Cindy originally planned to kick these orcs out of the team, but she hesitated and couldn't help it. She had already made up her mind to kill these orcs in the Underdark.
The caravan had rested for two days and was preparing to set off. Downton and his party had no choice but to follow.
As he continued to move forward, Downton saw that the slope of the chasm was getting steeper and steeper, with some areas even exceeding 70 degrees. After about two kilometers, the sky above them could no longer be seen, the sunlight completely disappeared, and the team officially entered the tunnel.
, crossed the first threshold into the underdark. (To be continued...)
