Everyone in the "Mountain Antelope Group" was caught off guard by the sudden monster attack. The members pulled the trigger in a slight panic, crackling the two kobolds that condensed into entities from black smoke into a honeycomb.
The firelight flickered in the corridor, and the intensive gunfire lasted for a long time, and then stopped.
However, the crisis has not been resolved.
... .
Just when everyone saw that the kobold lying in a pool of blood was no longer moving, they were about to breathe a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, a few wisps of black smoke overflowed from the cracks in the corridor's bricks, and then two ferocious dog-headed monsters quietly condensed out!
Captain Bart turned around and shouted loudly: "Brother Nicholas, be careful!"
When Ren saw it, everyone's eyes were on him, just like they were looking at Donnie just now.
"not good!"
He secretly said something bad, and instantly understood that there was a monster behind him.
This gave him an instant cold feeling like a poisonous snake crawling up his back. The hairs on his hair stood on end. A thought flashed through his mind: "Except for the 'sixth sense' of crisis sensing, the 'five senses' didn't sense anything at all." To..."
At this time, Ren also remembered the passage in the rock wall carving: [The messenger of death, 'Osiris', guards this tomb, and they will drink the blood of the invaders.]
The more critical the situation, the calmer he felt.
Thinking back to the previous scene where the gun was not hurt, Renn immediately analyzed a result in his mind: "Before blood-sucking, it was a pure elemental body, and it was not physically hurt. But... If you want to bite someone, you must condense the entity. ! ”
Thinking of this, he became calmer.
Others may die if their blood is sucked, but he, a "combat doctor", has enough means to save himself!
At this moment, the skin on his neck felt a stinging sensation of being punctured by a hard object. At this moment, he finally sensed the existence of the monster!
Materialized!
"You actually ignored the body-protecting fighting spirit?!"
Renn felt surprised in his heart.
He also didn't expect that the monster's teeth could bite his own skin so easily.
His current muscle toughness, coupled with the blessing of body-protecting fighting spirit, can be said to be a hundred times tougher than Donnie who was bitten to death before. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be like a piece of paper, easily bitten by the fangs.
Obviously, the dog-headed monster's fangs ignored his body-protecting fighting spirit.
Moreover, the weird situation is not over yet!
The moment the monster's fangs bit through the skin of his neck, Ren was about to fight back.
But suddenly, he felt a strong stiffness all over his body, his body seemed to be paralyzed, and even his heartbeat became sluggish.
"Huh... It was also injected with neuroparalytic toxin? No wonder..."
Renn clearly felt the strange feeling in his body, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
He finally understood why the person who was bitten had no resistance at all and was bitten to death.
This paralyzing poison is so violent that even his awakened [Voodoo Master], a high-level extraordinary body with ultra-high poison resistance, feels a strong sense of paralysis, let alone others
Renn made a rough estimate and found that his current "poison resistance" is much higher than that of ordinary fifth-level extraordinary beings.
This means that almost any transcendent being injected into the body by this poison will be paralyzed to a certain extent.
Low-level extraordinary beings can be fatal to poison alone (respiratory paralysis leads to death); high-level extraordinary beings can also become frozen instantly and lose their ability to resist subsequent blood-sucking.
Moreover, the monster's teeth ignored the body-protecting fighting spirit and appeared without any warning. When all kinds of abilities are added together, this is a monster that poses the same fatal threat to both low-level and high-level extraordinary beings!
... ..
Ren sighed in his heart: "This monster is awesome."
However, although the paralysis was strong, it was not to such an extent that he could completely lose his ability to react due to the extremely high poison resistance.
The moment the monster condensed and appeared, everyone thought that Ren was going to follow in the footsteps of Downey and the other two and be bitten to death by the monster.
However, they did not see the blood-splattered scene they expected, but instead saw another scene that was incredible.
The fangs did bite through Ren's skin and injected paralyzing poison.
But just when the monster was about to take a big mouthful of Ren's blood, he punched it calmly.
Although the poison made his movements slightly stiff, it was easy to deal with a dog-headed monster whose combat power was only at the first level of extraordinary.
"Bang!"
It sounded like a sand sculpture being crushed to pieces. Before the kobold had time to suck blood, his head was blown open by Ren's punch.
The muskets that Captain Bart and others had just raised were frozen there before they had time to pull the trigger.
They looked stunned, and a strange thought came to their minds at the same time: Why was this Dr. Nicholas able to kill the monster so easily without his blood being sucked? Are the monsters different this time
But reality didn't give them time to think too much, because almost at the same time, another scream came from not far behind them.
"ah!"
That was another dog-headed monster, killing another group member!
"Pa", "pa", "pa".
Then, in the panic, there was another burst of gunfire, and the fourth dog-headed monster was also shot to death.
... ..
The crisis is temporarily over.
Captain Bart looked at the three dead members and his face became very ugly.
But at the same time, they also cast suspicious and shocked eyes on Ren, who was safe and sound.
Only then did everyone realize that the four monsters were all the same.
There's something weird... it's this Dr. Nicholas!
Ren knew that everyone had doubts, but he didn't have time to explain.
He looked at the three corpses in the third place, frowned, and without any delay, walked straight to the corpse that was "bitten to death" in the end.
"It can still be saved..."
He checked it a little and said something. Then he took out a potion and injected it into the "corpse", and immediately began to sew up the nerves and blood vessels in his neck.
While he was doing this, he said: "Ms. Pasha, please help me inject 1500 ml of 'primary life potion' into Adams..."
"ah?"
After hearing this, Sister Pasha was still a little stunned. Can such an injury be saved
But in an instant she understood something and walked over quickly: "Okay!"
In order not to expose too much of his healing ability, Lane used angular threads to suture the more important blood vessels and nerves, and then used surgical needles and threads to suture the less important epidermal tissues.
Pasha was on the sidelines, injecting life potion into Adams, whose heart seemed to have stopped beating, to replenish the lost body fluids.
Renn was busy rescuing the wounded, while the rest of the "Mountain Antelope Group" were on guard, beware of another monster suddenly appearing somewhere in the darkness.
Although they were filled with sadness, they judged from experience that their companion Adams was dead. A large piece of flesh was bitten off his neck, and it was impossible to survive such an injury.
At the same time, they were confused.
Dr. Nicholas's calm expression and smooth professional suturing techniques gave people the illusion that he would definitely be able to save Adams.
But at the same time, I was confused and surprised.
Isn't surgeon one of the auxiliary professions with the weakest combat effectiveness
But why did the three combat extraordinary people in the group die just now? Will Dr. Nicholas survive
Not only did he not die, he also killed a monster with one punch. How did he do it
When Bart saw the potion that Lane injected into Adams, he seemed to have guessed something, and his expression became a little complicated.
... ..
After injecting an antidote and assisting with external pressure, Adams' heart, which had stopped fluctuating, started beating again.
Sister Pasha felt the pulse, her eyes were full of disbelief, and she exclaimed: "He is saved!"
"real?"
"Oh my gosh, great! Adams survived!"
"..."
Bart, these combat supernatural beings, don't know much about medical skills, nor do they understand the sophistication of this surgery, which would definitely make any medical supernatural being stunned.
All they knew was that their companions survived.
Finally a good news.
A sound of relief was heard in the corridor.
At this time, everyone's eyes once again fell on the doctor who was concentrating on the operation, with deep gratitude and happiness in his eyes.
They never expected that a randomly invited doctor would have such the ability to "bring back the dead".
But no one dared to disturb Renn, so they just watched quietly.
The suturing operation lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour, and the life of Adams, who had half of his neck bitten off, was finally completely saved.
After Ren completed the last stitch, he breathed a sigh of relief. This level of surgery is not too much trouble for him now. As long as he doesn't die immediately, he can still be saved.
It's a pity that the two people killed by the "kobold" before can no longer be saved.
... .
After another injection of "awakening potion", Adams opened his eyes.
He looked slightly weakly at the expectant faces staring at him, and was a little dazed: "I... I'm not dead yet?"
Bart looked relieved and said, "Yes! You must thank Dr. Nicholas. Without his superb medical skills, you would have died long ago."
Sister Pasha on the side was the only person present who understood the exquisiteness of Ren's surgery just now, and said in a complicated tone: "Even a senior doctor can't save your injury. You have to thank Mr. Nicholas."
When Adams heard his captain say this, he seemed to understand something. He immediately turned to look at Renn and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you for your generous help, Dr. Nicholas."
A smile appeared on the corner of Ren's eyebrows, and he said indifferently: "It's just a little effort."
The team member was rescued, which was no small favor.
Others can pretend not to know, but Bart, the leader, cannot. He recognized the potion that Ren injected into Adams just now, and said directly: "Mr. Nicholas, is the potion that you injected into Adams just now a [powerful life-sustaining potion]?"
He stopped calling him "brother" and instead used honorifics.
No matter how dull he was, Bart had guessed at this moment that the "old friend" in front of him was definitely not simple.
Renn didn't care and said calmly: "Yeah."
Without that life-saving medicine, no matter how good your suturing skills are, you will still die.
"Ah this..."
Hearing this, Bart showed an expression that was true but shocked.
[Powerful life-sustaining potion] Each one costs more than 100,000 liso. This is a luxury potion that ordinary hunters dare not enjoy.
Be careful, you will never see such high-level potions in the wilderness hunting group. Generally, mid-level doctors may have one or two to save their lives, but they will never use them so easily.
He didn't expect that the doctor in front of him could be used by his ordinary members so easily.
Hearing that, Bart apologized and said to Ren: "I'm sorry for consuming such a precious potion. The cost of the potion you consumed will be counted on our 'Mountain Antelope Group'..."
Before he finished speaking, Ren waved his hand and said, "It's just a potion, don't worry about it so much."
Indeed, that kind of medicine is already a significant expense for an ordinary hunting group.
But for him... there is a bunch of inventory in the package, which can only be regarded as regular potions.
Hearing Ren's casual tone, Bart didn't know what to say. He only asked politely: "Mr. Nicholas, were you a doctor in the senior regiment before?"
While packing up the surgical instruments, Ren smiled and said, "That's about right."
He also knew that whether he killed the "kobold" with one punch or saved others, others could naturally guess that he was no ordinary doctor.
But it was only a matter of time before he was discovered, and it would have no impact.
He saw everyone staring at him with "big boss" looks on their faces, and he looked a little weird, so he explained: "You don't have to look at me like this. I am interested in this ruins, so I followed you here." Just look at it. Just think of me as an ordinary doctor."
"..."
Seeing that Ren didn't want to reveal his identity, Bart didn't ask any more questions.
After all, it no longer mattered what the purpose of this "Dr. Nicholas" was.
People are willing to take out a potion worth more than 100,000 yuan to save people, what else can they do for a small group like their "Mountain Antelope Group"
What's more, it seems that with such a powerful "boss" in the team, their chances of survival are also higher.
Ordinary doctor
Of course you can.
For a moment, everyone looked at Ren with deep awe.
A strong person will be respected wherever he goes.
... .
The people around him suddenly became hidden bosses, and the atmosphere was tense for a while.
At this time, Ren heard something, picked up the syringe, and tried to get the paralyzing venom from the venom glands of the dog-headed monster on the ground.
While doing this, he looked at the people in the hunting group who were still a little overwhelmed, and took the initiative to say: "I think everyone should think about how we should deal with the current predicament now..."
Yes, monsters, mazes!
After saying this, a huge sense of crisis immediately hit my heart again.
Now that people have been saved, who knows if there will be more monsters.
Going deep into the ruins, the number of people has been reduced without finding any treasures. This is a bad start.
And, what's worse is that they now seem to be trapped in a maze.
"I think there will probably be a lot of dog-headed monsters in this ruins..."
Ren looked at the darkness of the corridor and said lightly.
Seeing these monsters, he finally understood why the Rosas family members were so "kind" and wanted to recruit so many wilderness hunters to jointly excavate the ruins.
It turns out that he just wants people to die.
This kind of dog-headed monster cannot be killed until it turns into a physical entity and bites people.
And its ability is very deadly. Regardless of poison, bite, or blood-sucking, it can easily kill an extraordinary person. Even if it is a high-level transcendent, the threat is huge.
And with these "dog-headed monsters" in the underground palace, it would be impossible for the nobles and official hunting groups to monopolize the ruins. Because they don't have that many lives to fill this "big hole".
And they must have discovered that these kobolds become very fragile after sucking blood and can be killed easily.
In the underground palace, as long as you are not a lone hunter, it means that if one person dies, you can kill a dog-headed monster.
So, they thought of recruiting idle hunters to die.
Taking tens of thousands of lives to fill it is equivalent to missing tens of thousands of kobolds.
It's not to say that they will be killed completely, but at least the threat will be reduced.
Tens of thousands of people are running around in the maze, and all the mechanisms and monsters have been triggered... In this way, those noble gentlemen can avoid 99% of the dangers when they come in again.
Haha, that's a good plan.
... .
Everyone in the "Mountain Antelope Group" was not stupid. After a few words, they immediately thought of the same place as Ren.
They also understood that the essence of this collective hunt was to trick them into dying, and each of them became filled with indignation.
"Damn! We were plotted by those nobles..."
"Haha, we have been plotted from the beginning to the end. No wonder those people said before entering the ruins that there are mazes and monsters in the ruins... Even if they say it out, they can stand up to others. They can only say that we were blinded by greed..."
"Those dirty nobles are nothing! They must have known that this monster was so powerful, but they didn't tell them earlier. To make it clear that this monster is so powerful, who dares to come in!"
"Now we are trapped in the maze, and we may encounter those dog-headed monsters at any time. Those nobles probably don't expect us to get out alive, and they wish we could consume more monsters for them..."
"..."
The more the members talked, the more frustrated they became.
Now being trapped in the maze means that they may be attacked by monsters again at any time.
Bart, the leader of the group, also became very ugly.
If he could quit now, he would choose to lead the members out of the underground palace without hesitation. Because this kind of monster is no match for their low-level extraordinary abilities!
However, he also understood that there was no way out now.
This maze makes it impossible for them to advance or retreat.
Every step taken could be a step towards death.
... .
Just when everyone was at their wits' end, Bart turned his attention to Ren, with a flash of hope in his eyes.
He asked: "Mr. Nicholas, do you know what is going on with this monster? Also, you seemed to have killed it easily just now?"
In such a dangerous situation now, if the "Mountain Deer Group" relies solely on them, it does seem that the group is destined to be destroyed.
They were almost helpless against the dog-headed monster. There was no other way except to watch it kill its companions.
If a few more waves of monsters attack, their number 10 group will definitely be wiped out.
But now, there is an exception.
This "Doctor Nicholas" killed one of those kobolds on his own!
It makes people hope that he might have some special method to kill monsters.
When Bart said this, everyone turned their attention to Ren.
"This monster is very difficult..."
Ren sighed, shook his head, and poured a basin of cold water on his face.
He also guessed what the hopeful looks in everyone's eyes meant, but the method of killing monsters was something only he could use.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Bart and the others' faces darkened, unable to conceal their despair.
At this time, Renyou continued to tell the clues he had analyzed, saying: "This kobold should be this kind of elemental monster. They will only turn into entities when they attack. The teeth ignore the protective fighting spirit, They will also inject powerful paralyzing toxins the moment they bite the skin, and quickly suck human blood. This is the most important reason for fatality. But after they turn into entities, they can be easily killed... "
"Paralyzing toxin?"
Being able to bite through the protective fighting spirit and suck blood was not surprising to Bartao, but the "paralyzing toxin" was unexpected.
But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. Otherwise, why didn't the three members of the group who died just now show any struggle when they were bitten? It turned out to be poison
However, the problem came again.
Since there is a powerful paralyzing toxin, why does "Doctor Nicholas" in front of him seem not to be affected at all
Not only did he smash the monster's head with one punch, but he also clearly stated the "after-effects"
Although he had doubts in his heart, Bart couldn't ask too many questions.
Turning around, everyone in the "Mountain Antelope Group" turned their attention to Adams, who had just been rescued.
The young mage looked confused. He waved his hand and hesitated: "I... I don't know anything... I was bitten just now and I lost consciousness."
"..."
Bart's face twitched when he heard this statement.
This is the difference.
If someone is bitten, everything will be analyzed; if you are bitten, you will not know anything about it.
But this also shows that this mysterious Dr. Nicholas is incredibly strong.
Bart didn't dwell too much on the monster's question. Anyway, he couldn't defeat it if he asked.
He turned to ask: "Mr. Nicholas, how do you think we should respond now?"
Ren expressed his guess and said: "If I guess correctly, it will be useless even if we go back the same way. This is a 'moving maze', and some corridors and stone chambers can move and change their positions. . So, we are trapped in a maze."
Bart was shocked when he said this, but he also showed a hint of surprise.
Only this explanation could explain why they encountered several stone chambers that they had passed before.
But this also shows that the situation is worse.
He was completely clueless, but when he looked at "Doctor Nicholas" in front of him, he always looked calm and calm.
Bart's expression flashed with anticipation, and he asked again: "Mr. Nicholas, do you already know how to get out of this maze?"
Ren nodded, but his tone was still solemn, and said: "I already have some ideas about how to crack the maze, but I still need to try. But now the maze is full of monsters, wandering around, which is not a good choice. .I think it’s best for us to find a place to wait..."
Although he was confident that he could handle the kobold. But if the number is large, it’s hard to say.
Moreover, if we really try to solve it now, there may be other dangers in this maze.
So, all we can do is wait.
"wait?"
When he said this, the others were stunned for a moment, but they understood it in an instant.
The best time to try is after other hunters have gone through the mines for them and killed those monsters.
Although I heard that it is not very kind, this is the only way to protect myself at the moment.
Bart looked at the corpse on the first floor and said with some hesitation: "But... we are waiting here now, won't those monsters come?"
"No. Of course not here."
Hearing this, Ren shook his head thoughtfully and said, "If I'm not mistaken, there are some stone rooms in this maze that should be 'safe houses'!"
