When everyone heard that a bolide was falling, they all looked up to the sky in disbelief.
Except for Liu Xiao, everyone here probably thought that the end of the world was coming, because the flaming meteors in the sky began to fall downwards, trailing tail-like black smoke.
Liu Xiao took the water bottle handed over by Rosa and took two sips. He looked up at the sky and murmured in a low voice: "Here it comes...the volcano has finally officially begun to erupt...!"
That's right, those so-called "bolides" are flaming rocks that were ejected high into the sky by volcanoes and then fell back down.
Although they fell from the sky in alarming numbers, fortunately the seal of the Cursed Land was still in effect, blocking most of the bolides within the Cursed Land and preventing them from falling outside.
A loud "rumbling" sound was heard all at once, and the ground shook violently again!
The evil beasts went completely crazy at this moment, and some of them banged their heads against the wall of the abandoned fort desperately, even if their skulls were shattered by the collision.
However, some evil beasts chose their own way, bypassing the ruined fort and escaping towards the plains on both sides.
As those flaming boulders hit the ground, the already overwhelmed ground cracked! With the bolide impact as the center of the circle, they quickly extended a large spider web-like crack to the surrounding area.
In addition, a crack extending from the Forest of Despair quickly expanded outward, becoming longer and wider.
Liu Xiao was shocked when he saw this scene! Because in the direction of the crack, there was an old goblin carrying pots and pans still limping towards the abandoned castle! According to his movement
At such a speed, it will be completely swallowed up by the crack in less than two minutes!
"What the hell!"
Liu Xiao cursed secretly, and almost subconsciously turned over and jumped on his big white horse. He grabbed the reins with one hand and slapped the horse's butt hard with the other hand.
And those few BMW men stood up and screamed, suddenly pushed hard with their hind legs, and jumped out from the gap in the half-collapsed ruined fort wall! They didn't even have to open the door.
Liu Xiao galloped on his horse, heading towards the most dangerous direction again! Arthur and others on the city wall were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to their feet!
"What happened? Why did the boss go out again? Why didn't you stop him!?"
"It's too sudden! I didn't react at all! Hurry~~protect the boss!"
"What is the boss going to do? Is he going to take the risk to save the old goblin?"
"I hope the Creator will bless me~~~ The boss will be protected by his divine grace, and everything will be fine~~~!"
Under the gaze of pairs of eyes on the city wall, Liu Xiao lay on his horse and passed through the obstacles of evil beasts one after another, and finally saw the old goblin who couldn't run away and was unwilling to lose his belongings.
The old goblin was about to be overtaken by the crack. Liu Xiao jumped off the horse decisively, lifted the old guy onto the horse's back, and slapped the horse's butt hard.
And he himself reached out and took out two grenades, bit off the leads, and threw them towards the crack in the ground from a distance.
Liu Xiao didn't know what he was thinking. Just then, an idea flashed in his mind, and he was thinking of the words "fighting fire with fire" and "a negative makes a positive".
He threw two grenades into the cracks in the ground. After a few seconds, there were two "boom" explosions.
The two explosions seemed to be wrapped in mud, no firelight leaked out, only a handful of mud splashed out from the cracks.
But what surprised Liu Xiao was that the speed at which the cracks extended outwards really stopped!
"Is this damn okay? Then two more rounds!"
Liu Xiao wanted to strike while the iron was hot and throw in two more grenades, but when he reached out and touched it, he had already thrown away all the grenades he was carrying. At that moment, he cursed secretly and ran away!
At the moment when Liu Xiao turned around and fled, he didn't see a blue-grey palm in the crack extending under the ground, which seemed to be trying to grab the edge of the ground and crawl out of the crack!
The palm tried several times but failed to grasp it firmly, and then retracted.
Liu Xiao didn't know that the two grenades he had just thrown had accidentally prevented a demon from returning to the world!
But it was also because of these two grenades that they indirectly destroyed the seal of the Cursed Land, which would bring a lot of trouble to him and his Chamber of Commerce in the near future.
Liu Xiao, who finally broke into the abandoned fort again, lay on the ground with his back stretched out.
Rosa was the first to rush over and hold her master's head in her arms, while Diana also took out a tube of recovery potion from her pocket and fed it to her boss first.
"Boss Kamui~~~Boss Kamui~~~!"
The employees who saw Liu Xiao's heroic performance raised their rifles and shouted in unison.
At this moment, the image of the boss in their hearts became even higher!
Liu Xiao can be said to be exhausted at this moment! He was already in a period of exhaustion brought about by the blessing magic, and today's doing this directly added to the injuries. Without a month of training, he would not be able to return to his peak condition.
If this were a person from another world, it would be fine if he only needed a piece of salvia or a pack of cold medicine, but Liu Xiao's body had long been immune to these things, and he could only rely on himself to recover.
"Boss, are you okay? What happened to that crack just now?"
As a ninth-level paladin, Arthur had just felt the terrifying aura coming from the crack!
He had an illusion that something that could kill him was about to emerge!
But after the boss threw the two mysterious grenades in, that feeling slowly faded away.
Liu Xiao drank the recovery potion and breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head and said: "Huhu... That's the ground crack caused by the volcanic eruption. It's normal, don't worry about it... Fortunately, the cursed land has this invisible layer.
barrier, otherwise the entire ruined fortress would be buried under volcanic ash!
Tell all the brothers to place our goods well so that they don't get wet in the rain. In addition, send people to guard in three shifts! This is an abandoned fort, no more crowded than our camp. Also, let the others hurry up.
Rest and cook!"
After receiving Liu Xiao's instructions, Arthur, Abu, and Kota went to carry out the instructions respectively, and the boss himself finally got up from the ground with the help of Rosa.
At this moment, Liu Xiao felt as if there was a fire burning in his lungs, and there were waves of twitching soreness in his limbs.
At this moment, a hunched black figure jumped out from the side, almost causing Rosa to instinctively attack.
But when she saw the person coming clearly, she lowered her fist. The person who came was an ugly jackal with its head pressed low. But it was the man who was sent into the mine as a human shield during the last attack on the Chamber of Commerce territory. The only one
The one that survived.
Liu Xiao kept his promise and did not kill him, but let him start with the hardest work.
This jackal is named Bucktooth. He is not only lucky, but also quick-witted and very persistent. He was able to save his life by relying on his life-threatening drive and was soon promoted by Johnson, the dwarf in charge of the mine. Now he is his deputy.
.
"Boss, please drink some water~!"
Liu Xiao nodded towards his buck teeth, took the water and drank it in one gulp, and said "thank you".
Bucktooth trembled when Liu Xiao said "thank you" and his whole body froze in place. He didn't react until Liu Xiao was far away and followed him like a dog.
"Boss, boss~~~I have something to report~~!"
Liu Xiao signaled Rosa to stop and turned to look at the cautious jackal.
"Tell me what you have to say."
Bucktooth looked around, lowered his voice, and said with a slightly ferocious expression: "Boss...! I just saw those people from Lai Scar's mercenary group standing behind with evil intentions while we were fighting against the evil beast with all our strength! Especially!
After seeing our goods.
Not only the Lai Scar Mercenary Group, but also the other adventurers and mercenaries trapped in the abandoned fort, their eyes are full of greed! I am afraid that these guys who are blinded by profits will do something stupid!"
Liu Xiao nodded slightly. He had already considered this issue just now. However, besides him, the jackal named Bucktooth was very quick in thinking, which was beyond his expectation.
"What's your name? Oh~~ buck teeth, right? You're right, you have good observation skills~! I just ordered Arthur and Cota to divide the employees into three shifts to take turns guarding our goods. Since
If you can take the initiative to come to me, is there any better way? Tell me and listen."
His buck-toothed eyes lit up and he showed a flattering smile.
He knew this was an opportunity! An opportunity to get close to the boss and make the boss appreciate him! He must seize it!
