250-Chapter 4 Underground Killer
Chapter Four: The Underworld Killer
GG3
The battle started quickly and ended quickly, in less than three minutes.
No one in our group died, except for a few flesh wounds suffered by each of the others at the beginning of the battle, no one else was injured.
The silent forest was once again calm after the short battle, but there was just a hint of more blood in the air.
The bandit boss with the injured leg that Tus walked through the corpses that littered the ground to reach asked the other man with his sword in hand.
"Where did you know a caravan would pass through here? This neighborhood isn't a lawless place per se, so why would you ambush a caravan here?"
"Cut, wasn't this matter of this being the caravan's passage informed yesterday by the leader of your caravan?"
"What?"
Tus's face darkened for a moment, his brow furrowed. A moment later grabbed the other man off the ground and shouted.
"Where the hell did you get that information! That was obviously sent to us from above using the private channel, you guys..."
"Hahaha! As long as there is money these days, not to mention your route, we even know what your goods are and how much they are worth. Don't worry, we're just out to explore, if we don't go back, the rest of us will block your path completely! I'll see you in the territory! Hahaha!"
"Get off him!"
An attack warning lit up in front of my eyes, just depressed about what it was, I saw the direction of the attack and immediately understood what it was.
As soon as the warning came out of my mouth, I rushed behind Tus with an arrow and grabbed his collar from behind him and pulled back, while an ice totem sent that bandit head flying out of the sky!
Boom!
Terrifying explosions came from above, and the bandit leader was blown right out of the sky, falling into pieces.
The parts on top of his armor crackled to the ground, and it was a good thing that not a single piece of the corpse fell, or else it would have been absolutely disgusting.
"Ah, Yuri-sama, thank you for your help."
After I let go of Tus, the other party immediately bowed to me in thanks.
"You're welcome... Alright, let's not be polite to each other here. Since you're the leader, it's up to you to make the decision now, the other party has already said that there's someone else waiting on the road ahead of us, and that guy's self-destruct just now has sent a signal to those companions of his, which means we don't have much time."
"That's right, it's true that we don't have much time left. But if we take a detour... I don't know how to go about it better, because other than this route, the only other route that can go through this place is the ruined road next to the Duo Song Academy."
Tus said to himself, but the archer who was standing next to him that we had introduced before suddenly opened his mouth and said.
"Maybe that person just told us that someone is blocking the road in front of us in order for us to take another road, and as you said, Lord Tus, we only have the old road next to the Duo Ge Academy left to take, and the other party might be waiting for us there."
"And he's right, we're at risk no matter which way we go now, so Tus you need to think it over."
"I..."
Tus was in a dilemma. But I took the opportunity to look at the other six mercenaries who were over level 20, and that's when I realized that they were actually looking at us, but with an inexplicable look in their eyes.
Was it a questioning of my use of magic just now? Well, it doesn't matter, it's only a matter of time before I'm exposed, after all, I'm not good at sword skills at all.
The most I can say is that I failed to learn magic and switched to sword skills, so I can also use normal magic, after all, there are still examples like this, there were quite a few magicians in the academy who studied for a month and then switched to Duo Ge Academy.
The other mercenaries didn't dare to make a sound, the battle just now had already made it obvious that there was a big gap between them and us. They were now looking at Hei Luoli with even more fear, after all, her turret-like output just now had turned dozens of enemies into dead souls.
"Well, I've decided that we should continue on our original route, after all, it would be faster that way. There's no way around it, after all, there's a risk of running into enemies on both roads in front of us, so we'd better choose the more favorable route."
Hearing Tus say that, we all nodded our heads.
I didn't doubt it, after all our goal was to get to the end destination no matter what, and how the middle route was actually not a problem for us.
And so, in the Silent Forest we set out on the delivery route once again, but for safety we all put out our torches, and a few assassins and archers became dark sentries at the front of the group.
And as the strongest assassin among them, Ojado, naturally also walked at the front of the group.
But among so many blue-named members of the group, Oyado's green name was also obvious, so there was no need to worry.
And according to Oyado's mobility, if there was any danger, it would take about a second to get from the front to my position at Oyado's speed.
Although there are quite a few of us, but our action this time is almost lifeless, we are all mercenaries who hang around outside a lot, covering up our scent and movement traces and everything is a common occurrence.
However... it was a real pain for me and White Moonlight, because we had to keep clicking on the Hide Breath skill button to use it, and after all, it was only 30 seconds.
Although more advanced assassins or similar professions also have the ability to hide breath for longer and more effective periods of time, most of them are abilities that appear along with the profession and are rarely learned directly, which is why I haven't encountered such a skill and learned it so far.
"White Moonlight..."
As I walked, I thought of something and then said very quietly.
"Huh?"
"Do you ever feel weird?"
"Strange?"
"Well, we've been off the official trail for a long time, and we haven't built a fire, so we should have already encountered a beast or monster, but now... we haven't encountered anything, have we?"
"It's..."
"And those monsters shouldn't have been scared off by the number of us, after all, with so many dark sentries ahead, they should have met them long ago."
"So what exactly are you trying to say?"
"Maybe... another more powerful beast has taken over the place, that's usually the situation in games..."
As soon as I said that, a mercenary less than three meters in front of us was run through by a tentacle sticking out from under the floor, turning into a human skewer without uttering a single scream, splattering blood directly onto the mercenary next to us, scaring the other one.
"Watch out! The enemy is underground!"
The black-armored swordsman shouted loudly, and the surrounding mercenaries immediately scattered in the center of the dead mercenaries.
Monsters rushed out from underground, countless tentacles blooming like flower petals!
"This... hell spider flower?"
I looked at the monster's name and pronounced it with a grin.
Looks like...a troublesome enemy.
