747 Reconnaissance Squad
An active volcano hundreds of kilometers away from Hurricane City, the magma that has just stabilized inside is still extremely hot, and the rising gas with a sulfur smell is very rich, and the magma that is still emerging from the bottom of the magma After the bubble bursts, it will still form a splash effect, causing slight damage to everyone wrapped in the protective force field.
A big bald man with his body clinging to the top of the dark red rock wall poked his head out to check the situation below the volcano, then quickly jumped down and returned to his team, complaining. "Boss! Why were we given such a task when we were about to return, we have gained enough this time!"
The bald man's complaint made several people sitting around laugh, but the captain he called "Boss" was downcast. "Shut up! As long as we can infiltrate the newly built base of vertical-eyed creatures outside the lava mountains for observation, the profits we get after returning will allow us to spend half a year in Hurricane City!"
The bald man who had been reprimanded by He laughed, and sitting down on the first floor, he took out more than a dozen things that looked like eyeballs from his waist pocket, spread them on his hands, and cheered one by one. "That's right, if the research institute hadn't released the method of stripping the vertical eyes of creatures with vertical eyes, our actions would be a pure loss!"
A woman sitting next to the middle-aged captain muttered. "One eyeball can be exchanged for hundreds of medium crystals. Our harvest is already big enough, there is no need to take any more risks!"
"Guarding the northern border, guarding Hurricane City, and expelling these vertical eyes is our duty as Lord Dilgos. As a member of the guards, we have no choice!"
When the captain with the badge on his chest said so, the team members gathered around him stopped talking, and the captain, who glanced at the faces of all the members, was actually dissatisfied in his heart. But he had to for the sake of the mission.
This team, which was specially selected to investigate the vertical-eyed biological base, has been hiding in the crater for three days. If it goes well, it will only take half a day to arrive at the predetermined location. Evacuated and returned to Hurricane City for a long rest.
The continuous operation for more than a month caused the team to lose eight members. There were only 22 members left in the original 30-person team. This middle-aged man is already proud enough.
In dozens of battles, large and small, more than two hundred vertical-eyed creatures were killed, and most of them were team members equivalent to a first-level wizard. However, under his leadership, the battle results were fruitful, and the eight battle casualties were all killed by the self-explosion of vertical eyes, so he is sometimes proud of such achievements.
The sound of a "bang" magma bubble bursting echoed in my ears, and the captain who was in deep thought tightened his heart and immediately turned his gaze over.
The calving magma does not dissipate as quickly as before. Instead, it began to bulge in the bubbling magma, and then the head of a lava giant covered in magma popped out.
"Brothers have already started to move. They will lead away the vertical eye team blocked between the mountains. Then it will be your business!"
The lava giant's voice was very dull, but this news brought a smile to the face of the middle-aged captain. "Thank you for your cooperation, I still need your help to break the back at this time tomorrow!"
The lava giant, whose body was still half soaked in the magma, said politely. "You're welcome. Killing a few more can be regarded as venting for us. These goddamn vertical eyes have caused us a lot of loss!"
He nodded to the lava giant who came to report. The middle-aged captain turned to the team members and began to explain. "Everyone, get ready. Be careful when passing through those regular points. We won't be able to go back if we get a lot of vertical eyes!"
"Don't worry, we know what to do..."
"Boss, after completing the mission, you will have a treat in Hurricane City..."
"Get up, ready to work..."
The team of more than 20 people quickly began to assemble, and those members who were resting on the rock wall were also awakened one by one. With the sound of joking, encouraging, and joking with each other, they had already jumped onto the center of the rock wall at the top of the crater. Captain Nian, however, pulled himself together, and after casting Eagle Eye to confirm the safety of the route ahead, he was the first to jump off the mountain wall and start moving forward.
The terrain of the lava mountain is very complicated, but the team led by the middle-aged captain has been here for more than half a month. Although it is not as familiar as the lava giant, it definitely exceeds the vertical-eyed creature's understanding of this area.
The seven team members who mainly focus on physical protection, nine first-level mid-level wizards, and six second-level wizards are all the remaining members.
The middle-aged captain, who lowered his body and walked fast on the small road, kept calm in front of the team members, but he was very disturbed in his heart.
The vertical-eyed creatures have built hundreds of defense points around the lava mountains. Although they can't completely seal off the entrance and exit roads, they have never heard of a team that can break through the blockade of the vertical-eyed creatures after such a long time. They all tried to leave The lava mountain team has lost contact.
After a while, the bald man who came to his side, lowered his voice and reported with a smile. "Boss, those lava giants are doing a good job. The vertical eyes of the fixed patrol points within ten minutes away are gone!"
"Be careful! We are going to investigate the situation of the vertical eye biological defense point. It is said that there are hundreds of vertical eye in the large base!"
"That's a large base. The one we're investigating is just a new one. Shouldn't there be any major problems?"
The casual tone of the bald man made the middle-aged captain's face darken, and he began to yell at him after he walked around the boulder at the corner in front of him. "Baldhead! Stop talking nonsense, you can only be safe if you return to Hurricane City safely!"
The big bald man who was following the captain didn't mind the scolding. He rubbed his head with a smile and moved away. He jumped onto a rock on one side, and carefully continued to investigate the situation in the distance.
The team continued to advance silently, only the sound of rustling footsteps, and the surrounding rocks of various shapes were skillfully used. As time passed, none of the vertical-eyed creature patrols that should have appeared , but the fire energy energy remaining on the road shows that the lava giants appeared in these places not long ago.
The team remained quiet along the way. After two hourglass hours, a woman who was in charge of checking the traces suddenly accelerated and came to the middle-aged captain, chuckling and complaining. "Boss, the lava giants are still suitable for fighting in such an environment. It is a waste of our guards to be sent to perform such a task!"
The middle-aged captain who was running quickly ignored him, and carefully chose a suitable path to continue forward, but after a while, seeing that the woman beside him had not left, he sighed softly. "The strength of those guys will drop a few chips if they leave the lava mountain range, and their losses will increase greatly if they lose their terrain support. It is said that the patriarch of the lava giant, Gasri, has always disagreed with his clansmen leaving this area to fight..."
The woman who followed the captain lost her mind and immediately changed the subject. "Boss, do you mean the secret guards are stronger or our guards?"
The somewhat stunned middle-aged captain had a headache, but seeing her perseveringly waiting by her side for an answer, he hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth to explain. "We will win the confrontation at the team level, but we will definitely lose if we fight as a group!"
The woman who maintained the same speed as the captain was a little unbelievable. "Boss, are you kidding me?"
"The collective combat capability of the secret guards is beyond what you can imagine. The large protective force field they built through secret techniques can resist attacks that exceed their own two classes!"
What the middle-aged captain said shocked the woman who was following him, and her speed also slowed down, and she was left behind in a moment... (to be continued...)
