Chapter 164 Return to the Underground

The prestige of the quasi-magician Sean is very high, or rather, the prestige of the Azure Origin Holy Tower is very high.

On the second day after Sean arrived at the mining area, the cleaning of underground spaces in various parts of the mining area began in an orderly manner.

Sean himself also participated in it personally. One of the veins he entered was the mine cave where the mutant quasi-level monster appeared half a month ago.

"How is it, Xiaoqi, did you find anything?" Walking in the mine cave, Sean asked Xiaoqi who was flying in front.

"Gugu, there is indeed a residual breath of quasi-level monsters, but it is not the type of monsters I know."

"It seems to be a more violent guy." Xiaoqi stopped in front of a mine cave dent and said.

The mine cave dent in front of him was not formed naturally. From the appearance, it looks more like it was chiseled by the claws of some tyrannical creature.

In the central area of ​​this dent, Sean collected a few brown-black hairs with tweezers.

Before he could continue to collect information, fierce fighting and shouting came from the depths of the mine cave in front.

It was those mercenary groups that fought with unknown creatures.

Quickly putting these hairs into test tubes, Sean and Xiao Qi jumped to the battle area.

The dark underground mine was not an ideal battle area for knights who were not familiar with the underground environment.

When on the surface, these experienced elite mercenaries were not afraid to challenge any creatures of the same level.

But underground, with darkness and limited vision, they are likely to be defeated by underground creatures that are weaker than themselves.

This is why the three mercenary groups refused to forcefully explore the underground mines.

Unfortunately, as a Santa magician, Sean's time is very precious, and he is naturally not interested in wasting it on these people's arguments.

And he is not too interested in considering the life and death of people who are not related to him.

Originally, these mercenaries were paid to do things.

The red-armored female knight said it easily before, but she did not see that when she asked them to forcefully attack the underground mines, she really led her mercenary group to leave the Salt Coke Basin.

When Sean arrived at the battle area, the battle here was almost over.

The creatures that attacked these mercenary group members were indeed the underground creatures that Sean was more familiar with.

In addition to the gray dwarves and cave dwellers, there was also a kind of dark-skinned subhuman creature.

These underground subhumans are generally short and agile.

They rarely confront human knights and magicians head-on, and basically attack from the side and in the dark.

They often retreat after one strike and never fight.

This kind of enemy hidden in the dark is indeed the most annoying.

At this time, a circle of red fighting spirit particles was stirring around the red-armored female knight.

This is a senior attendant with some strength. She doesn't look very old. It is also quite rare that she can pull together a large mercenary group alone.

Three dark-skinned underground subhumans fell beside the red-armored female knight.

These three subhumans were cut in half by the giant sword of the red-armored woman, which shows the exaggerated power of the opponent.

"Boss, Daz and Hank are dead. The weapons of these bastards are poisonous."

"Although several other brothers were injured, they treated their wounds in time." A shout came from the front.

Hearing the voice of her companion, the red-armored female knight picked up the giant sword and rushed over.

Before leaving, she also noticed Sean who arrived in time.

This little girl is quite vengeful. After glaring at Sean again, she rushed over in a hurry.

In the dark mine, although countless torches lit up part of the space, there were still large areas in darkness.

The gradually faint groaning sound indicated that this mercenary group had lost members when it first entered the underground mine.

As a large mercenary group, the Red Scale Mercenary Group has dozens of formal members, as well as some other non-staff personnel.

This time when entering the underground mine for the first time, the Red Scale leader did not call ordinary members to come and die. All the people who came were formal members with certain fighting spirit strength.

Suddenly, two brothers were about to leave. This woman with a hot temper couldn't help but chop a piece of black ore at her feet with the giant sword in her hand.

The anger of the Red Scale Leader made the mercenaries gathered around feel a little sad.

Their mercenary group is an old-fashioned mercenary group that has experienced many years of development and countless life-and-death tests.

The atmosphere in the entire mercenary group is relatively harmonious. Unlike some mercenary groups, there will be no intrigue or disgusting things behind the scenes.

Of course, this is also related to the character of the leader.

The two teammates are about to leave, making these men who lick blood on the edge of the knife immersed in sadness.

At this time, an inappropriate voice suddenly appeared.

"What are you doing? These two people are not dead yet."

"If you continue to drag it on like this, you will die!" Sean appeared in front of the group of mercenary knights.

Ignoring the stunned or angry expressions of the knights, Sean took out some black herbs from his space ring, crushed them into powder, and sprinkled them on the wounds of the two poisoned knights.

These black herbs were collected and discovered by Sean after entering this underground mine.

Although it is slightly different from the underground world of the Underdark, this underground world of the mine still makes Sean feel familiar.

These herbs growing in the cracks of the stones are rarely noticed by people.

But Sean knew that these herbs were both antidotes and poisons.

The toxins of the underground subhumans were extracted from this herb.

Fortunately, this was a relatively low-level toxin, and the herb itself was not even of the grade of magic material.

If it was the poison of blue moss, it would probably require an antidote to remove it.

However, when he walked here, Sean did not see a trace of blue moss. It was probably because the environment here was not suitable for plants like blue moss that have paralytic toxins to live.

On the contrary, this kind of plant is more common in the Underdark.

When the breathing of the two injured mercenaries gradually stabilized, the eyes of the people around Sean also changed a little.

At least they were not as hostile and repulsive to him as at the beginning.

The eyes of the Red Scale Captain looking at Sean also changed a little at this time.

She put the giant sword back into the scabbard on her back and told a mercenary beside her: "Send them both out, and ask the earl of the Kingdom of Gigerson for medical expenses!"

...

As they continued to move deeper into the underground mine, the number and frequency of attacks encountered by Sean and others became higher and higher.

This is indeed not a simple mutated monster incident.

Otherwise, why would those underground creatures appear so desperately to intercept them.

A cloud of fog gradually appeared in Sean's mind, so that he began to recall the details of his academy mission.

"Since the word 'investigation' is included in the mission of the crazy monster, did the academy itself know some information in advance?"

"However, the danger of this mission should not exceed the official level, otherwise the academy would not let senior apprentices perform it." Sean shook his head and thought.
