Chapter 108, It's Impossible

Everyone took out their weapons one after another. Weasley, the director of the Luigi Chamber of Commerce, subconsciously pulled out the scimitar from his waist, and the accompanying guide took down the shield behind him.

But before everyone took out their weapons, the paladin Alfred rushed in front of everyone. He raised the paladin-style long sword in his hand and shouted angrily.

"Holy Light!"

The intense platinum-golden light carried powerful holy energy and shot towards the dense crowd of vampire bats. Those vampire bats with blood-red eyes melted into ashes as soon as they were illuminated by the light. Other vampire bats They fled in all directions and soon disappeared.

"What a powerful Holy Light." Weasley sighed and put away his weapon.

"Mr. Paladin, can you tell me the next time you are going to do something like this? I was almost blinded by the flash." Estelle complained dissatisfied.

"I don't want to do this either, Mr. Estelle, but these vampire bats are very smart. They will remember our figure after being counterattacked, and they will not attack us again if they are afraid of death." Alfred There was a serious look on his face: "We are here to check the anomalies, not to spend time with these vampire bats."

"Well, I don't like teaming up with paladins." Estelle muttered, reluctantly agreeing with Alfred's point of view.

"Are there always vampire bats in the mine?" Ryan noticed something unusual. Normally, there shouldn't be so many vampire bats in a mining cave.

"Of course there are not so many miners when there are miners, but we have stopped mining this vein for nearly three months. Maybe these damn beasts thought that humans were gone, so they popped up again?" Weasley also had a little Not sure, he made a guess.

This guess is quite reasonable, so Ryan didn't ask much, and continued to move forward.

The passage of the No. 1 mine is very long. Ryan holds the warhammer in one hand, and a light blue spiritual blade is shining in his right hand. Relying on the glimmer of the spiritual blade, Ryan found that many rock walls are very Wet, ice-covered surfaces: "Is there a groundwater leak here?"

"Yes, Mr. Lane, there is groundwater leakage here." Weasley nodded, and he pointed to the top of the rock wall: "When Viscount Casanova sold us this vein, he told us that there is groundwater here Leakage, which is one of the reasons why he gave us this mine cheaply."

"In order to prevent the underground water from flooding the mine pit, we have reinforced many places." Weasley pointed to many seepage places: "Although there will still be a small amount of seepage in a few places, it will not affect the mining. The only problem is that the mining cost will increase." raised."

"En." So several people continued to move towards the depths of the No. 1 mine.

Noticing that the candle lights were used up quickly, Ryan sighed again in his heart. It would be great if Veronica was here. The torches she made have high firepower, a wide range of illumination, and a long duration. You can’t see this kind of scum candle lights. No matter how far away, it will be used quickly.

As we went deeper, the road became narrower, and the ground and rock walls became more slippery. Weasley wiped off the broken ice on his head, pointed to the bend ahead, and whispered, "That's the end of the No. 1 mine. , there is an underground lake at the end of the No. 1 mine... What's wrong, Mr. Ryan?"

"Wait... I seem to hear something." Ryan motioned for several people to be quiet.

"Swish, swipe, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, slap~" There was a burst of weird noises from the corner at the end.

Everyone who knew what they knew in their hearts all took out their weapons and were ready to fight.

The half-elf leaned out a little around the corner, and he saw in the dark as day.

After he saw clearly what happened, Estelle's eyes widened instantly.

mouse! What a big mouse!

Several rats taller than humans are gathering on the ice of the frozen underground lake, gnawing on something around them. They have blood-red eyes, a huge body, and sharp claws.

Estelle couldn't see what they were gnawing on, but the bones and flesh flying out showed that it must be something alive.

The half-elf turned around and whispered, "It's a mouse, a big mouse."

"Is it the Skaven?" Ryan asked in a low voice.

"It doesn't look like... just like ordinary rats." The half-elf was experienced, and he immediately recognized that those were not the notorious Skaven ratmen, they were just ordinary mutant rats.

"Then kill them!" A few people nodded, ready to fight, the light blue psionic flame in Ryan's hand was constantly burning, he found a position, and stretched out his hand towards the eating rats right hand.

Psionic Storm!

The light blue lightning struck the rats who were feasting, and they were in great pain under the burning of the lightning. Two of the rats attacked were killed by the spiritual storm on the spot, and the rest reacted quickly and avoided the light. Blue lightning rushed towards the exploration team.

Estelle bent her bow and set her arrows at an extremely fast speed.

"Hoo!" The first feather arrow hit the head of the rat's left eye, it rolled over and fell to the ground, and immediately lost its breath.

The second feathered arrow landed on the half-elf's longbow, and now the cunning rat knew how to dodge, and they immediately dispersed, one of them rushed directly towards Alfred, and the other two towards Ryan The place is approaching very fast.

"Huh!" Alfred held up the square shield and slammed Shuo Shu on the head. Shuo Shu tried his best to dodge but was still hit by the huge square shield of the paladin, and Shuo Shu's face was bloodied by the paladin.

"Hoo!" Estelle took advantage of the stunned rat and shot an arrow directly at the door. The rat fell to the ground immediately, and immediately became silent.

On the other side, two rats rushed towards Ryan together. Ryan lifted the Griffin Warhammer and shot one of the rats headshot. .

"Get rid of it!" Several people wanted to chase, but the ice surface of the underground lake was very slippery, so Weasley hurriedly said to the half-elf.

"You don't need to say more!" Estelle replied impatiently. The half-elf bent his bow and set an arrow. He squinted his eyes and directly calculated the distance. Then he raised his longbow and shot an arrow towards a high place. .

How does this half-elf shoot arrows? Weasley, director of the Chamber of Commerce, frowned, but what happened next made his eyes widen.

Shuoshu slid across the ice at a very fast speed. When it slid to the edge of the ice and jumped on the ground to escape, the feathered arrow in the air changed direction, fell, and then penetrated Shushu's sky cap, bringing Its final judgment.

This is a projectile, and Ryan nodded approvingly: "It is a forest citizen who can calculate the distance so precisely."

"Everyone in the forest can shoot, it's just a trivial ability." Estelle didn't care about this kind of praise, and several people couldn't answer, only Ryan shrugged: "Okay, okay, the trivial ability is also let's see what they're eating."

Several people came to the top of the ice carefully together, looking at the corpse eaten by several large rats.

"This is... a kobold?" Relying on the faint candlelight and the light in Ryan's hand, several people discovered that it was the body of a kobold. This kobold had been eaten beyond recognition.

"Are there kobolds in the mine?" Ryan asked Weasley.

Kobolds are nasty creatures that like to survive in the wet environment underground, and they are also excellent miners and treacherous slave traders.

Weasley motioned for the guide to answer, and the guide replied without hesitation: "Yes, since we started digging this mine vein, kobolds have not stopped appearing, but they are generally more afraid of people. , as long as there are human figures, they will actively avoid them."

The muscles on Ryan's face twitched, and he thought that there was a reason for everything and the strangeness.

So why did the miners go crazy?

"Do you drink the groundwater here directly?" Looking at the thick ice of the underground lake, Ryan thought of another explanation.

"No, it happened before. Ever since some miners went crazy, we also thought it might be a water problem, so we asked the miners to bring their own water." The guide still shook his head.

"...Well, in short, there seems to be nothing in the No. 1 mine." Ryan found that the ice lake was at the end, and there was no way forward. There were only some rat holes dug out by rats and black paint. Above the painted rock wall: "Let's go to the next mine!"

"Where it all begins is also where it ends."

"What?" Ryan frowned, and turned back to Estelle, "Ester? When did you learn these nagging prophecies?"

"Hey! Ryan, what are you talking about? I didn't say anything." Estelle looked at Ryan strangely: "What prophecy?"

"Ah? Didn't you speak?" Ryan was surprised now.

"I really didn't talk." Estelle was a little dissatisfied: "We didn't talk, are you hallucinating?"

"Yes, good friend, none of us spoke just now." Alfred also came out to testify.

A few people looked at me and I looked at you. They immediately realized that something was wrong, and Ryan immediately asked: "Wait! Mr. Weasley, you said before that many miners can hear low and muddy voices?"

"Yes... yes, you heard that too, Mr. Ryan?" Weasley's eyes lit up, and asking Ryan to investigate really worked.

"Have any miners heard what this voice is saying?" Ryan asked in a deep voice as his brows became tighter and tighter.

"No, according to them, it's an incomprehensible language." The director of the Chamber of Commerce said helplessly: "We once asked the miners to record these languages ​​and go to a linguist, but every miner described it differently. .”

"..." Ryan already had an answer in his heart, and he signaled everyone to explore the No. 2 mine together.

The No. 2 mine is generally similar to the No. 1 mine, but the mithril ore content in this mine is purer, and the road is narrower. In some places, people have to crawl forward, and the humid underground environment makes people feel uncomfortable. It was uncomfortable, and after entering the ground for a long time, they could not see the sunlight, and everyone's concept of time gradually became blurred. Some people felt that it had been three or four hours since they entered the ground, and some felt that it had been more than half a day.

The dome of the No. 2 mine is even higher. It is hard to imagine that the top of the cave’s rock formation will be fifty or sixty meters above the ground. Several people are cautiously moving towards the depths of the mine, and Ryan’s right wrist protrudes light blue. His spiritual blade illuminated the way forward, while the few people behind were holding candles in their hands and inspecting the rock wall.

As several people continued to move forward, the road became narrower and narrower, almost only for one person to pass through. The rock walls on both sides of the road continued to press towards the crowd, accompanied by strong psychological pressure, darkness, depression, It's wet, Ryan and others are okay, the guide and Weasley who brought a few people can't stand it anymore, the director of the Chamber of Commerce cleared his throat: "Ahem, Mr. Ryan, we have been in the mine for a long time, yes Shouldn't you go up and take a rest first? Come down tomorrow?"

Ryan thought for a while, but still shook his head: "After checking the No. 2 mine, if there is nothing wrong, then we will go back to the ground first."

"OK."

After several people walked for a while, the half-elf Estelle felt water droplets falling on his face, so he looked towards the dome and found that there seemed to be something shaking constantly at the highest point of the dome: "Lane? There seems to be something on top."

"What is that? Estelle, can you see clearly?"

"It seems... something is hanging, swinging around." Estelle observed for a while, but still couldn't determine what it was: "Sorry, Ryan, my dark vision is not as good as that of the real wood elves , the distance is too far, I can't see clearly."

"Where is it?" Ryan and others raised their heads together, but they could only see a piece of darkness: "Is it something hanging? Can you shoot it down?"

"It should work, let me try!" The half-elf bent his bow and set an arrow, seeing this, several people stepped aside, waiting for the result.

"咻~" The first feather arrow rushed into the sky and disappeared into the depths of darkness.

After waiting for ten seconds without any response, Estelle then took out another arrow: "This one will definitely hit!"

Sure enough, after five seconds, there was the sound of a sharp object scraping against a hard object: "I hit it!"

There was a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and something very heavy fell about 50 meters in front of everyone. The sound was so loud that Ryan and others hurried to the front.

It was a skeleton, a human skeleton, covered with dust and cobwebs.

"What is this? Someone died here?"

"It's nothing surprising. Where is there no corpse in the underground tunnel?"

"He seems a little different. This corpse should have been dead for a long, long time. You see, there is no flesh on the bones, so it should have been many years since this person died."

Ryan, Estelle, and Alfred were discussing in a hurry, and the appearance of the skeleton made the three of them puzzled.

"After a normal person dies, it usually takes about a year and a half for the corpse to turn into a skeleton if it is in the open air and in a normal temperature and environment." Ryan touched his chin: "In this underground and cold environment, the corpse needs to be replaced. long time."

"In this underground environment, it will take at least several years." Estelle said as he turned the corpse over. The skeleton was unusually tall, about 2.2 meters tall, and it had completely turned into a skeleton. The bones have been damaged, and only the general outline can be seen.

"Wait, this is..." Ryan noticed something different about the skeleton, and he immediately reached out and opened the skeleton's teeth.

Under the light of the candle lamp, everyone noticed that the skull's teeth were different from normal people's, and his teeth were sharper.

Just like wolf teeth.

Ryan's eyes widened, he opened his mouth wide, and the Primarch subconsciously took out a silver wolf head pendant from his body. Under the eyes of everyone, the silver wolf head pendant shimmered for a while.

"Impossible!" Ryan was shocked: "Impossible! This is impossible!"

Ask for a ticket!
