Start a core cabin

"Are you afraid of snakes?"

Early the next morning, Duanmuhuai brought Lorena and Mary over and asked them this question.

"Uh... I don't like it."

"me too."

Obviously, neither of them likes snakes, the problem is that...

"Afraid?"

"It's not scary."

Lorena answered quickly, which was normal. After all, she often went out to cruise around, and she must have encountered snakes a lot, and she was probably used to it.

"I... don't know, I have never met a snake, I only know that snakes are poisonous, dangerous animals..."

That's right, Mary doesn't look like the kind of young lady who would just run around.

"This time our goal is like this..."

While speaking, Duanmuhuai explained the situation about the snake people to the two of them. When they learned that such a race with a long history was entrenched below the town, they couldn't help being surprised.

"Snake people...Are we going to confront such a race?"

"That's right, to completely annihilate it, this is our purpose."

"But there are only three of us."

"You can rest assured about that."

Facing Mary's curious inquiry, Duanmuhuai showed a meaningful smile.

"We're not just three of us."

".........???"

After breakfast, Duanmu Huai took Lorena and Mary to the previous mansion of Vince Scott—this old mansion is still in the state of being demolished, and the nearby cordon is also closed. It still exists, but from the point of view that the police cannot be seen, it is obvious that this place is no longer the focus of the police's investigation.

Duan Muhuai crossed the cordon and came to the underground passage that Vince Scott said, and at the end of the underground passage, it was indeed blocked by collapsed rubble. At least from here, it is impossible to pass through.

"Wow... I didn't expect it to collapse, can it really be dug up?"

Looking at the tightly blocked passage in front of her, Mary couldn't help feeling distressed, while Duanmuhuai shrugged.

"Look, it's very simple."

While speaking, Duanmuhuai raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

The next moment, dozens of puppets suddenly appeared out of thin air, and then they started to act like this.

"Hey? Hey? What is this??"

Seeing the puppet that suddenly appeared, Mary was taken aback, but Lorena——had seen it too much, so she didn't care.

"Magic, haven't you also learned it?"

"Of course I know...but..."

Having said this, Mary looked at Duanmuhuai in disbelief.

"Mr. Duanmu, you actually know magic?"

"What? Isn't it like?"

"........."

Mary carefully looked at the burly, bald man with so tense muscles that his shirt was about to be torn, with a ferocious look...

Frankly, it's not like that.

"I thought all magicians were like Miss Lani..."

In contrast, Lani fits the image of a magician in Mary's imagination. Wearing a hat like a witch, wearing a cloak, holding a staff, and always sitting on a chair, she looks very intelligent.

"In this day and age, how can a magician not know how to fight in close quarters? Didn't you also learn close combat?"

"Uh... that's right..."

In fact, most of what Mary learned from Lani was the melee combat mode. For example, magic such as Kalia Swift Sword or Kalia Great Sword, basically just use magic power to condense the blade, and then rely on own melee skills. It's just that because Kalia's magic itself is very gorgeous, Mary ignored it.

"Could it be that all magicians are like this?"

"Of course, let me tell you, the so-called archmage just learns the flash technique, then fills up the whirlwind, and then rushes in to chop. Isn't that the same for you?"

“……………………”

Although this is what he said, but hearing Duanmuhuai say this, Mary felt speechless no matter what she heard.

"And isn't Lorena the same? Don't look at her as a priest, she is very fierce when fighting."

"Uh...that's true."

It's not that Mary hasn't seen Lorena's battles before, and she's also seen the gorgeous priestly clothes that Lorena wore in battle a few times. It gives people a feeling like praying and singing in an altar or church.

However, such a gentle girl who always smiles on weekdays can be called fierce when fighting. Mary has seen her hold the huge sacred book in her hand more than once, directly smashing the monster's brains... …… To be honest, Mary doesn’t think this is something done by ordinary priests or priests. Most of the priests or priests in her impression are praying in the church, or enlightening believers, and boosting morale behind everyone. That feeling of... huh?

Is it actually a problem with my common sense? ?

Just when Mary began to wonder if there was something wrong with her common sense, the dolls had already cleared the blocked passage again.

"Okay, let's go in."

The reason for re-choosing this path is because according to Bell Girl's investigation report, there is only one road under the Snakeman Empire, and one is the passage to the surface that they have been using before. The other one is here. Because it is closed, this road is actually closer to the back of the underground snakeman's lair.

In other words, unlike the commonly used roads, which are full of snake guards, it is more suitable for sneak attacks. Although it is said that when Vince Scott and the others came down, they must have stunned the snake once, but considering that Vince Scott blew up this place again, I am afraid that even the snake man would not think that anyone would pass by this kind of place again. Bar.

But that's all.

After passing through the collapsed passage, the group quickly found what Vince Scott said was the passage leading to the ground. They moved forward all the way, and then came to a large hollow below.

"Wow..."

Looking at the scene in front of her, Mary couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise, and made a sound of emotion.

When Vince Scott told the story before, maybe it was because he was too nervous, or because he didn't want to recall, so he didn't describe the scene here in detail, but for Mary, seeing this underground cave, her first reaction was ………

"so beautiful………"

That's right, as Mary said, the current underground cave is not just an underground cave. The walls here are smooth and neat, and there are tall stone pillars on both sides. There are complex and gorgeous carvings on the walls and stone pillars. On the other walls and ground, the moss scattered all around exudes a bluish-white radiance, and it really looks like a refreshing beauty.

"It looks like an underground ruin here. If it is discovered, it will definitely be excavated and studied."

As a student of the Department of History, Mary certainly understood how much sensation such a relic would cause if it were discovered.

"It depends on the situation. If everything goes well, it's not impossible to stay."

This is the civilization of the Snakeman Empire, and there are naturally records about the snake god in it. If Duanmuhuai can successfully kill the snake god, then it is not impossible that the records here cannot be preserved as the results of archaeological excavations. But on the other hand, if that snake god cunningly escapes from Duanmu Huai, then Duanmu Huai will completely destroy this place.

"Okay, now is not the time to look at the scenery here."

Duanmuhuai lowered his voice, he had already noticed that there were several dark shadows wandering in the dark places where the light could not shine. Although I don't know what it is, it is obvious that if you don't speed up, you will be discovered by the snake man.

"let's go!"

Duanmuhuai's tactics are very simple, that is, a little breakthrough, directly inserting into the center, and the army of puppet will follow closely behind, responsible for entanglement and destroying the monsters that found the trace of Duanmuhuai and others. After all, for Duanmuhuai, as long as he has enough soul cards, he is an army by himself, so he doesn't have to worry about this problem at all.

According to Bell Girl's survey results, the white-haired apes and ghosts are the most numerous here, while the snake-men are the least numerous—this is also understandable, even those metal ribs are created by themselves to guard the tomb , and he curled up in the coffin and slept soundly.

There are only a few snake people who are responsible for guarding the lair, and there should be a leader among them—but Bell Girl didn't go in, because she felt the danger, so she retreated decisively.

There is no way, after all, in this world, Ling Nu is just a poor kitten, not a ninja who is elusive, otherwise Duan Muhuai would not need to come down at all, maybe after one night, all the snake men in the lair would be killed by Ling Nu. The goddess was killed without anyone noticing.

What Duanmu Huai had to do now was to reach the place where Ling Nu indicated that it was dangerous, and then kill the threat inside.

Although there is lighting from underground moss, the entire cave is still quite dark, but of course this is not a problem for Duanmuhuai and the others. The blue magic light ball floated above their heads, illuminating the road in front of them——this is exactly what happened. Starlight is one of the magics Mary learned from Lani.

To be honest, Mary didn’t learn much magic from Lani, but each of them is the essence. Starlight is responsible for lighting, Calm is responsible for stabilizing the mind, Magic Bright Sword is used for long-range attacks, Kalia Swift Sword and Great Sword are for Responsible for close combat, it can be said that Lani is an excellent magician. Although Mary has limited magic power and has not learned many magics, these few magics alone are enough to solve most of the difficulties she encounters.

From this point of view, Lani still values ​​Mary very much.

"Go this way."

There was a passage ahead, but Duanmu Huai chose the side road. Of course, if it was normal, he would have walked straight there, but Bell Girl told him that there was a trap there—well, at this time, Duanmu Huai was very happy to have Bell Women exist. Although he is not afraid of most traps, they are quite ordinary.

"But Mr. Duanmu, there is no way ahead!"

Turning the corner and continuing forward, there is an abyss that looks like a cliff.

"It's okay, get ready!"

While speaking, Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand, grabbed Lorena and Mary one by one, and then jumped down!

"call-----!!"

This sudden scene also surprised Mary, she closed her eyes subconsciously, only feeling the wind flash past her ears, and the next moment, accompanied by a strong impact, Duanmuhuai fell heavily to the ground. Then Lorena and Mary were put down.

"call……………"

Lorena was already used to it, and she even stretched herself after she got down, but Mary sat down on the ground, her face turned pale.

"Duan, Mr. Duanmu, this is too dangerous! I thought I would fall to my death!"

After all, among the magic that Lani taught Mary, there was no flying magic.

"It's okay, you'll get used to it a few times."

While speaking, Duanmuhuai looked forward.

"But for now, let's prepare to fight."

"Hisss—————————————!"

Along with Duanmuhuai's words, Mary also heard voices coming from the darkness in front of her. She also subconsciously clenched her staff tightly, then stood up and stared at the front.

Then, under the radiance of magic, the black monster emerged from the shadows.
