Chapter 156 155. Sewer Oil Paper Bag

Rotten slimes are artificially thrown into the sewers to clean up waste, just like scavengers.

The rancid slime will absorb and digest all kinds of garbage and harmful waste, but as it absorbs and digests more, the rancid slime will grow larger. When the size reaches a certain level, the putrid slimes will not only have companion groups, but will also be extremely hostile to creatures that intrude into their territory.

Therefore, Fairhaven needs to send people to the sewers from time to time to clean up the rancid slimes that are too large. This is why the task of "cleaning the sewers" in the Adventurer's Guild has always been popular.

At this time, Lilia was facing a putrid slime the size of a seven or eight-year-old child. Although it had not yet grown to the point of having a companion group, its size could already occupy the territory, and treat Lilia who intruded into its territory as a Enemy.

"You seem to be very worried about your sister?" Theresa's voice was muffled by the mask. "Aren't you afraid that she will miss? A slime of that size can already pose some threats."

Glancing at Lilia who was fighting the putrid slime, Mo Cheng shrugged and said, "Where is this? A slime of that size can be worn thickly by a farmer who has been working all year round, and he can smash it with a hoe. They can all be smashed to death. I have properly considered the difficulty issue."

Not to mention the magicians, if ordinary warriors are really weak in perception, they can kill the putrid slimes by chopping them into pieces with their swords. At most, they will just go out covered in foul-smelling liquid.

But for Lilia, a trainee mage who only knew the simplest mental shield and no other spells at all, if she couldn't accurately stab the core of the putrid slime with the mental spikes, it would be an ineffective attack.

Seeing that Mo Cheng not only did not pay attention to Lilia's battle, but seemed to be looking for something, Isabella couldn't help but ask: "Are you looking for something?"

"Looking for the oil paper bag."

After answering something that no one could understand, Mo Cheng didn't care at all what the sticky thing on the wall was, tapping here and there with his hand, looking like he was searching seriously.

"Need...forget it, I hope you find what you want."

Theresa originally wanted to ask if she needed help, but when she looked at the surrounding environment and the unknown slime on the wall, she wisely supported Mo Cheng verbally.

Although they are not mysophobic, it is obvious that these two half-elves are not willing to help find anything in such a place.

The half-elf sisters standing aside suddenly had a look in their eyes. They raised their hand crossbows and short bows respectively and pointed at the darkness deep in the sewer. "Who? Come out!"

But Mo Cheng was faster than Isabella and Theresa. Like a ghost, he slid deep into the sewer without making any footsteps. He vaguely saw a figure. Mo Cheng was about to reach out and grab him. While he was there, his whole body suddenly stopped, and a ray of white light passed by the tip of his nose.

He reached out and tried to catch the other person, but the figure was like a slippery loach that could not be caught. The holy light suddenly lit up in Mo Cheng's hand, which was undoubtedly a flash bomb in this dim environment.

The person on the other side seemed to have been prepared. He thrust the sword in his hand into the ground. Immediately, the entire sewer was filled with a scarlet mist, and his vision was blocked again. Not to mention, the other person planned to take advantage of the mist to leave.

But at this time, the crossbow bolts and arrows fired by Isabella and Theresa passed through the heavy fog, like a falcon biting the enemy's body, and blood immediately flowed when the arrows penetrated the flesh.

"ah!"

A cry of pain, but it didn't change anything. The tyrannical holy light completely dispersed the scarlet mist. Mo Cheng, who had no vision obstruction, suddenly grabbed the opponent's arm and tried to pull him back.

To be sure, no one can engage in a tug-of-war with an adult dragon.

However, the man swung the weapon in his hand and cut off the caught left arm. Mo Cheng felt that his hand was empty, and at the same time, dozens of bombs with burning fuses fell on the enemy.

When a bomb explodes in such a place, the power of the bomb will increase exponentially.

Mo Cheng turned around and punched out, scattering the putrid slime. At the same time, the strength of the fist turned into soft force and pushed Lilia to Isabella and Theresa.

When he finished all this and turned back, the fuse of the bomb had been burned to the bottom.

Mo Cheng took a deep breath, the dragon blood in his body boiled, and the fine scales were looming. At the same time, the internal organs began to vibrate synchronously, emitting a scale that ordinary people could not produce.

The next moment, the dragon's roar echoed throughout the sewer:

"Fus!"

"Ro!"

"Dah!"

Bombs and roars erupted at the same time. The strongly vibrating sound waves not only withstood the power of the bomb explosion, but even sent all the flames and shock waves of the explosion back, rushing towards the enemies who were escaping deeper into the sewer.

Mo Cheng leaned over and grabbed something, then turned around and ran away. And Isabella had already picked up Lilia and ran behind Theresa. They knew very well that the power of such an explosion would be too much for the sewer building to withstand.

Sure enough, not long after the four people ran, there was a rumbling sound behind them, and the sewer behind them began to collapse. After running for a while, the collapse of the sewer stopped completely, and a few people stopped.

The bright holy light illuminated the dejected looks of several people. Mo Cheng first looked at what he was holding before running away.

"What...what is this?!"

Lilia looked at what Mo Cheng grabbed in disbelief, her tone full of doubts and fear.

"Obviously, corpses." Mo Cheng squinted his eyes and looked at the two corpses in his hands. "Strictly speaking, they are mummified corpses. Judging from the wounds, they were all killed by a single blow from a long sharp blade. The blade body was narrow and curved. The murderer has sufficient knowledge of the vital points of the human body."

"Judging from the clothes, the corpse should be a homeless man or a beggar, maybe someone from the sinking area." Mo Cheng pressed his hand on the abdomen of the corpse, "I don't know why all the blood of this corpse has dried up, but this one I I do know that the masked guy used blood to create a fog. The blood has dried, no wonder I can’t smell the blood even though I’m so close.”

"The abdomen is shriveled and sunken, and the internal organs must have been eaten by something."

Mo Cheng recalled that the holy light had just illuminated the roughly twenty corpses on the ground. He could probably guess what happened, "Someone captured someone from the sinking area and planned to perform a bloody and cruel ritual in the sewer." .”

After looking at Lilia, who was frightened by the corpse's death, and Isabella and Theresa, who looked indifferent, Mo Cheng looked around, took out the map of the sewer area distributed by the Adventurer's Guild, and found the nearest exit.

"Let's go back and tell the Adventurer's Guild what happened here, and report the case to the law enforcement team by the way."

"What the hell, am I so unlucky that my next trip to the sewers will cause such a violent explosion?"
