Chapter 745 Exposed
"Scholz, how's the situation in the pit?"
Klein asked the headed dwarves.
Scholz is the deputy captain of this prospecting team and Klein's right-hand man.
Scholz looked tired, his pale blond beard covered in icicles, and his face was sombre that it was about to freeze.
"Brother Klein, I'm sorry, I brought back some disappointing news for you. The frost lizards in the mine are far more difficult to deal with than we expected, and there are more in number."
"Just two hours ago, my advance team was attacked by a large group of frost lizards in the depths of the mine, and they almost couldn't come back!"
"Don't worry, my good brother Scholz, sit down and have a glass of wine to warm up, let's talk slowly."
Klein patted his deputy on the shoulder and handed him a glass of beer mixed with fresh cave crab plasma.
"Scholz, according to your estimate, how many frost lizards are there in the mine?"
Scholz took the wine glass, drank the blood-smelling fiery liquor in one gulp, wiped his mouth casually, and frowned two thick eyebrows.
"There are no less than ten frost lizards discovered by our advance team alone. As for the total number of frost lizards in the mine, I'm afraid there will be no less than thirty!"
"Brother Klein, after today's encounter, I found that the frost lizard has two supernatural abilities, one attack and one defense, very powerful!"
"Tell me, what are the strengths of the Frost Lizard?"
Klein looked at Scholz solemnly.
"The first is the defense specialty of the frost lizard!"
"This kind of magical beast that lives in the glacier has extremely cold magic power of ice elements flowing in its blood vessels, seeping out through the body surface, and forming a layer of translucent ice armor outside the scales."
"With scales and ice armor, the frost lizard is like wearing two layers of hard armor. Only magic or magic weapons can penetrate it. The normal iron weapons of the prospectors can't effectively kill them at all!"
"I understand," Klein muttered to himself, stroking his beard, "that is to say, if we want to deal with the frost lizard, we need a magic weapon."
Klein nodded first, then shook his head and smiled wryly.
Brother, I know what you're thinking. "
"Indeed, we can ask Mr. Schmidt for help, try to borrow a batch of magic weapons from him, and equip our people. Unfortunately, this is still not enough to fight the frost lizard."
"Because the Frost Lizard not only has a hard ice armor, but also emits frozen aura covering the surrounding area!"
"If we fight the frost lizard at close quarters, even if we hold magic weapons, we won't be able to withstand the cold air, and we will be frozen to death within two minutes!"
"As for the Frost Lizard itself, it belongs to the cold subspecies of magical beasts. It is naturally immune to all cold damage and will not be affected by the cold aura released by its kind."
After hearing Scholz's complaints, Klein frowned even tighter.
"Looking at it this way, even if our prospecting team barely gnaws down this hard bone, we will suffer huge casualties, so it's not worth it."
"That's right!" Scholz said bitterly, clapping his fists, "Brothers are not afraid of death, but you can't do it alone! Brother Klein, we have to try to hire some spellcasters, only by magic , to get rid of those damn reptiles at the premise of paying the least price!"
"Scholz, I actually planned that too."
A smile appeared on Klein's face.
"Come on, let me introduce you to a few young friends. They are all high-achieving students from Midgard University. This time, if we want to successfully explore the Qingbing Mine, we must rely on the help of these college students."
Upon hearing this, Qiao An hurriedly turned around to greet her companions.
Hylar, Audrey, and Holden all gathered together, and they got acquainted with Scholz through Klein's introduction.
Only Evelyn, since entering the dwarf camp, seemed restless, and when Scholz came in, her face was even more panicked.
Joan called her over to say hello to Scholz, but Evelyn seemed to have seen a ghost, her face turned pale with fright, and she turned around and tried to escape from the tent.
"Evelyn, don't be shy, let's just get to know that uncle dwarf, he won't eat you, so there's nothing to be afraid of!"
Holden grabbed the hand of the sorceress and forcibly dragged her to Klein and Scholz.
Evelyn couldn't get away, so she buried her face in Holden's arms, as if afraid of being seen by Scholz.
"Scholz, this little poet brother is called Holden, and the shy girl in his arms is his girlfriend Evelyn. I heard from brother Joan that Evelyn is a very powerful magician."
Klein introduced with a smile.
"Evelyn?!"
When Scholz heard this name, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly approached to look at Evelyn's face.
No matter how much Evelyn dodges, there is still nothing to hide.
"It really is you!"
Scholz was frightened and angry, pointing at the embarrassed female sorceress, his beard curled up in anger.
"Despicable Spider-Woman! How dare you take the initiative to come to your door! You are looking for a dead end!"
"You came at the right time! It's time to settle that blood debt. I want to see where you can escape this time!"
"Scholz! Calm down!"
Klein interrupted the deputy's accusation sharply.
"It's very rude of you to treat my distinguished guest so arrogantly! If you have something to say, I guess there must be some misunderstanding between you and Ms. Evelyn?"
"Brother! This is by no means a misunderstanding!"
Scholz was shaking with excitement.
"Poor Kerry and Hans, they were killed by this insidious Spider-woman!"
Hearing him say these two names, Klein's face also changed, and he looked at Evelyn with more doubts in his eyes.
"But Scholz, you told me before that Kerry and Hans died in the 'Valley of Spiders', unfortunately killed by a large group of mutant spiders. How can this be blamed on Ms. Evelyn?"
"Brother! At the beginning, Kerry, Hans and I decided to go deep into the spider's lair because a woman volunteered to be our guide and lied to us, claiming that there was treasure in the spider's lair. This shameless liar is Evelyn standing in front of you right now!"
Scholz pointed at Evelyn, furious.
"On the afternoon of a week ago, this woman broke into our camp suddenly, put on a pitiful face, and claimed that she was a college student at the Officiant Law School of Midgard University. , first discovered the treasure, and then was attacked by a large group of mutant spiders."
"The witch claimed that all her companions were trapped in the depths of the spider's lair, and she escaped by using the 'Any Door' alone. When she learned that our camp was near the Spider Valley, she rushed to ask for help."
"This woman who is full of lies, first used her tears to deceive our sympathy, and then promised that after rescuing her companion, all the treasures in the spider's lair will belong to us, which is regarded as a reward... Alas! It's all my fault that I was too stupid to listen to her. lie!"
Scholz stomped his feet heavily, his face full of remorse.
