Chapter 1224: Group Destroyer

"Brother Holden, you have too many questions, and you can't explain a sentence or two clearly. Let's start from the beginning." Belling said with a smile, "I'm here because I was hired to join a prospecting team. The members of the team are all gnome companions from my hometown Sudli Stone City, and they are responsible for finding magic crystal veins for the Jotunheim Colonial Company."

"Ha! What a coincidence, we are also here to find the magic crystal veins, but our employer is the Midgard Colonial Company, so speaking of it...we are competitors!" Holden said with some hesitation.

"Are you also here to explore the mines?" Belling looked suspiciously at the six people across from him, "Would it be too much of a stretch just based on the six of you?"

"Don't look down on me, kid! We are just the advance team, and there is a prospecting team from Nidaville behind us. There are more than forty dwarf miners, all of whom are experienced prospecting experts!" Hailar said angrily.

"More than forty dwarves?" Belling sneered, with sarcasm: "It's really a huge team."

"Little dwarf, if you really treat us as friends, don't go around in circles. You might as well just say, how big is your dwarf prospecting team in Sudeli?" Scholz asked sullenly.

"Our team is not too big, maybe four times bigger than your dwarves' prospecting team." Belling said pretendingly.

"It's impossible! You must be bragging!" Scholz said decisively.

"I'm not bragging!" Belling stared angrily, "I'm a dwarf without a beard!"

Except for the two dwarf brothers, the others couldn't help but sneer when they heard him swear in such a weird way.

"Okay Scholz, you are already old, why are you still impatient like a kid." Klein calmly asked Belling after appeasing his old partner, "Little friend, can you explain in detail?" Tell me about the progress of your Sudri prospecting team."

"Well... Originally, our two families are independent masters, and I should keep it a secret, but then again, those cowards who hired me refused to accept my genius suggestion, called me a lunatic, and threatened to expel me from the prospecting team , I won’t even pay me a copper coin, so I’ll help them keep it a secret!”

Belling became more and more angry, and Xiaoyuan's face flushed red: "Brother dwarf, I have decided to turn from darkness to light and join your prospecting team in Nidaville!"

"Brother! Brother Klein! Listen to me!" Hailar leaned close to Klein's ear and whispered nervously: "Don't accept this little dwarf! He is a disaster star, with a halo of bad luck The kind that brings bad luck wherever he goes! If you accept him, we'll be sure to be in bad luck!"

"Little girl, this is your fault. Between friends, joking should be done in moderation." Klein gave Hailar a reproachful look, turned around and shook the dwarf mage's hand vigorously, and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Belling , welcome to join our team!"

Hailar slapped his forehead heavily and sighed.

Joining the new team, this boy Bellin sold his former employer without hesitation!

"Reverend Fei spent a lot of money this time, and hired no less than two hundred dwarf miners in twelve teams. They have been active in this area for more than two months. I came here relatively late, only joining the team two weeks ago. "

"Berlin, how far has the dwarf prospecting team's exploration of the magic crystal veins progressed?" Klein couldn't hide his nervousness in his words.

"The initial progress was smooth, but after entering the depths of the navel, they were frequently attacked by crystal pythons and lost a lot of manpower, so they had to retreat to the base camp in the north."

Speaking of this, a trace of unwilling indignation appeared on Belling's face.

"I was originally assigned to the fourth team. After encountering the crystal python, I lost most of my manpower. Including me, all the people who escaped by chance were merged into the sixth team. However, just two days later, the sixth team also When I was attacked by the crystal python, except for me, the rest of the companions were either killed or captured."

"After I returned to the base camp, I reported this unfortunate incident to the leader, and the leader assigned me to the eighth team, but the leader of the eighth team, an idiot named Ryan, actually slandered me as a 'The ominous person who brings disaster', said that I have already killed two small teams, and refused to accept me into the team!"

"Of course I can't tolerate this kind of baseless slander, so I argued with him. Later, with the support of the leader, the idiot Ryan reluctantly accepted me, but he still didn't look good on me."

"I decided to do something to reverse the prejudice against me by Ryan and others, so I contributed my wisdom to the team and made a great suggestion. As a result, the group of idiots couldn't understand my genius mind at all and called me a loser Crazy, mentally ill, threatening to fire me!"

"While we were arguing, two crystal pythons suddenly broke into the camp and attacked our team!"

"I did my best to rescue the four companions including Ryan. As for the other teammates... Unfortunately, I have no ability to protect them."

Belling sighed, with tears flickering in his eyes.

Touching the corners of his eyes, he continued: "After fleeing to a safe place, that bastard Ryan, not only didn't appreciate my life-saving grace, but also hit me on the head with a pickaxe handle, insulting me as a scourge that brought bad luck , let me stay away from him! Come and judge, isn’t that plausible!”

Everyone looked at each other with strange expressions on their faces.

"Belling, that is to say... the three teams you worked with before and after were all attacked by crystal pythons, and they all ended up being wiped out?" Klein asked tremblingly.

"Yeah!" Belling nodded.

"Little girl, now I think... your worries are justified." Klein whispered in Hailar's ear.

Hailar shrugged and spread his hands, his face full of helplessness.

"What's the use of saying this now? You can't kick out Belling, who has just been recruited into the group, can you? That's too shameful!"

"That's true." Klein wiped off his cold sweat, and could only smile wryly and pray that the bad luck that happened to Belling was a coincidence, not an inevitable law...

Belling didn't seem to notice the subtle change in everyone's opinion of him, and continued to talk about his experience after he was expelled from the dwarf prospecting team.

"It doesn't matter if there is no prospecting team to take me in. Anyway, I can complete that genius plan by myself."

"Berring, what exactly do you mean by the 'Genius Project'?" Holden asked curiously.

"I'll talk about this later. Let me ask you one thing first. I don't know if you have discovered that the crystal python is a kind of earth element creature. It only needs to absorb the radiant energy of the magic crystal veins to supplement the consumption of daily activities. It's strange that the crystal python obviously doesn't need to hunt for food, but it swallows humanoid creatures into its stomach and imprisons them!"
