Broad World

Apodel waved Vascona excitedly. .For a warrior, such a sharp magic weapon is like his second life. Everyone simply cleaned up the loot on the ground, including two emeralds, more than a hundred gold coins and a few bottles of magic potions left by Gray Wolf. It seems that this bounty hunter is quite rich, and ordinary adventurers don't have so many good things.

It didn't take long for the group to arrive at the mine. The rock in the ground here has been hollowed out, creating a huge circular pit. The rails are connected to the depths of the mine, and from time to time a mine cart is pushed out from it. Jasila couldn't wait to learn about the situation here with the person in charge, Emerson.

From his mouth, I learned that the disappearance of miners has become more and more serious recently. According to the reactions of the people who came back from the lower levels, it was a dog-like creature that was constantly attacking and destroying. If this situation continues, it won't be long before the miners flee in fear, and the entire mine will be forced to shut down.

"In the mine, isn't a creature like a dog a kobold?" Aimon murmured softly. Although she often skipped classes and went out to play when she was in Candlekeep, she still knew something about monsters.

Jasila felt that this matter was not that simple, and the kobolds had no ability to make the quality of iron ore worse. "Maybe it's a kobold, maybe there are other monsters. Let's go down and investigate first, otherwise it's useless to just guess here and there."

"Be careful. Kobolds are good at long-range attacks. Their spears, bows, and stone bullets are very threatening." Henry reminded everyone, and then blessed himself with the "Iron Skin Technique". There is no room to dodge in the narrow tunnel, where the advantage of long-range attack will be magnified several times.

As soon as they entered the cave, a strange smell got into everyone's noses. Apodell pinched his nose and cursed loudly: "Damn it! Where does this stinky smell come from?"

"Be patient. This smell just shows that the monsters inside must be kobolds. Only they can emit the smell of stinky sewers." Henry blessed himself with an air-filtering spell before he began to breathe.

A group of people pinched their noses and quickly walked towards the stairs leading to the lower floor. They quickened their pace along the way, and finally encountered the first wave of enemies at the entrance to the lower floor. This is a kobold assault team, and they launched an attack as soon as they saw someone coming. All of a sudden, the arrow "swish" flew over, and Khaled immediately raised his shield and stood in front of it.

"Quick... quickly release the spell! I...my shield...can't last too long."

While dodging the arrows, Imon returned fire with a shortbow. The two casters in the team quickly chanted the spell, and two seconds later Henry completed the spell first. He pointed at the kobold in front of him, and a large sticky spider fell from the sky, trapping these little monsters less than one meter tall in place.

Dai Nahei took advantage of this opportunity to complete her spellcasting, and the "Lightning Technique" was instantly launched from her fingertips. The white lightning bounced off the wall, killing a dozen kobolds in the blink of an eye. As a mage specializing in evocation, she is very good at this kind of magic that gathers and shapes energy.

Seeing that the enemy was dead, Jaheira immediately ran over to check the corpses on the ground. As a veteran harpist, she can glean undetectable information from enemy weapons and armor.

Soon, she came back with a dagger and a bow and said loudly: "Look! The bow strings used by these kobolds are actually made of beef tendon. And this sharp dagger is completely beyond their supposed craftsmanship. Someone must be providing weapons behind the scenes. We have to go down and find this guy."

Minsk shouted excitedly: "Evil guy! Boo Boo has already smelled his stench. Go go go go go go! Kill all these little barking monsters!"

"From now on, you'd better not speak, otherwise it will be troublesome if you alert the mastermind behind the scenes and let him escape." Dai Nahei put her hand on her forehead and sighed slightly, obviously she has given up any hope for the recovery of her guard's intelligence.

A group of people followed the railway tracks to the second basement floor, when suddenly a miner ran over and shouted, "Help! They are here...there are too many barking little devils."

Just as Jaheira was about to speak, an arrow flew from the shadows and pierced the miner's throat. This sneak attack angered Apodel. He deflected the arrows with his long sword, charged among the kobolds and started killing them. These little monsters are no match for the Son of Baal, and ordinary short swords cannot pierce the protection of the armor.

The battle was over in just a few minutes. Apodell glanced coldly at the broken corpse on the ground, and then wiped the blood off the sword. Without a word, he scabbard the weapon and dragged the miner's body to the side of the mine cart. I walked not far inside again. A group of people saw corpses strewn about on the ground. Some of them were miners here, and some were guards in charge of supervision and safety.

On the way to the next floor, everyone encountered more than 20 teams of kobolds. These guys are in a team of more than a dozen, constantly wandering around, and they will attack as soon as a human appears. Henry's attitude towards these monsters that slaughtered humans has always been very radical, that is, one kills one, and ten thousand kills ten thousand. With the support of a large number of spells, the kobolds on the entire second floor were quickly cleared.

Jasila picked up a piece of ore and a bottle of poison, looked at it and said to Henry: "There is a layer of poisonous substance on the iron ore here. Someone should have polluted this place with this kind of poison."

"Bring a few samples and give them to professionals to study when we go back. Maybe they will find a way to get rid of this toxin and restore the whole mine to normal." Henry grabbed a bottle of poison and a piece of ore and put them in his pocket. If he remembers correctly, he should be able to get a little more experience points by taking it back.

Apodell clenched his fist and hit the wall fiercely. "These damn beasts, the entire second floor was killed. Don't let me know who did it, or I will smash his bones inch by inch!"

Henry patted her on the shoulder comfortingly, watching his own kind being slaughtered by monsters, the feeling was really not very good. After resting on the spot for a while, the group continued to enter the passage on the third floor. According to the description of the person in charge, this is the last floor of the mine pit.

As soon as they came to the third floor, they were surrounded by a large number of enemies. A large number of arrows and javelins flew over, instantly blocking everyone at the entrance of the cave and not daring to go out. Khalid's shield has been punctured several times, and it seems that it can no longer be used.

"Damn it! What to do, if you rush out rashly, you will be shot by the hedgehog." Apodel walked back and forth impatiently.

Henry blessed himself with "protective long-range weapons" and sneered. "Leave it to me, these rubbish will turn into corpses on the ground in a while. Especially in such a confined space, they can't even run away." After speaking, he walked out alone. Ignoring the sharp weapons flying over, he raised his head and chanted a spell loudly. The arrows were one meter away from the body, and they were all knocked away by the invisible position.

Henry didn't give them a chance to launch a second round of attacks. He released the "Death Cloud Technique" at the place where the enemy was most densely populated, and the large swath of poisonous gas killed countless kobolds in an instant. These little monsters with poor physique have no resistance to this magic. In less than ten seconds, the kobolds outside were completely dead.

The duration of the "death cloud technique" was not long, and the poisonous gas slowly dissipated after a minute. Henry waved to his teammates behind him. "Come out, the enemies outside are all dead."

Apodell came out and took a look at the horror of the dead bodies on the ground, smiling and clapping his hands. "Good job! Only dead monsters are good monsters! Let's quickly clean up this floor too, the atmosphere here makes me feel very uncomfortable."

Jaheira inspected the corpses on the ground, and suddenly drew a red arrow from a kobold's quiver. "Look at what it is! They are actually using enchanted arrows! And each archer has three to five of them."

Dai Nahei instantly recognized the type of enchanted arrow. "This is a flaming arrow! It will automatically ignite the moment it is shot, and if it hits, it will burn violently near the wound. Ordinary water can't extinguish it at all. Many adventurers like to use it to deal with monsters like trolls."

Henry looked at the arrow and secretly laughed at the guy who executed the plan. To actually equip the kobold with expensive magic arrows, I really don't know if his brain was caught by the door. "Imon, gather all the red arrows on the ground. Since the enemy has sent weapons so generously, we will reluctantly accept them."

"Haha! I've been waiting for this sentence for a long time." The girl quickly found the magic arrow from the quiver. After a while, she collected five quivers and two hundred flame arrows from the corpses of hundreds of archers.

Aimeng shouted excitedly: "This is a big profit! A bag of forty arrows will cost at least one hundred and seventy gold coins to buy. This much is enough for me to use for a while."

"It's best to be careful when using it. This kind of arrow will burn automatically the moment it is shot. As long as you loosen your hands a little slowly, your fingers may be burned. I suggest you prepare a pair of leather gloves, which can provide a little protection." Jasila suggested to the girl who was a little carried away.

Aimon blinked mischievously. "Don't worry, "Auntie". My nickname is Nimble Imoon, and there is no need to remind me of this kind of thing. Look at these ten nimble fingers. Gloves will only bind them."

Jaheira shook her head helplessly. "Well, wear it as you like. But you'd better get your hands out of my pockets. The one you're digging out is a bag of herbs. There's nothing of value in it, but there's plenty of poisonous weeds." (To be continued.)
