Kant's face was serious.
If it is really an enemy of the level of the underworld invader, then it will be troublesome.
According to Pan De's prophecy, a 7-member underworld invader squad can easily slaughter a 300-member regular army, even if all members are the powerful Sarion Lion Knights, the final result is the tragic ending of annihilation of the entire army.
It is difficult for ordinary humans to compete against the Noldo elves at Sunset West Mountain, let alone the real demons of the underworld!
And at this time.
The system dialog box pops up instantly on the retina.
[Ding...main mission released]
[Main Quest: Secrets in the Cave]
[Task Reward: 50000 Dinars, 5000 Prestige, 5 Honors]
[Introduction: There seems to be evil hidden in this cave. You decide to take a team inside to find hidden secrets. Although the future is unknown, with the heart of a brave man, you think you will find a few surprises.]
Kant's eyes flashed: "The main task."
The main task has not appeared for a long time.
Now it was announced directly by the system right in front of this cave.
Kant's heart fluctuated.
Reminiscent of what Ravenston Ranger said, as well as the ruins of the lost city that he found when he just came to the top of the mountain, and even the sun disc that has been absorbed by the system.
"Something's wrong."
Kant looked at the deep and dark cave, and slowly clenched the knight sword in his hand.
But he still intends to go in and have a look.
After all, this is the main task of the system, not a temporary task that can be given up. Although he still doesn't know how dangerous it is, Kant still turned his head and said to the soldiers following him in a deep voice: "Let those 50 Luo Duo The Ke farmers all put down their work and stood by on the hillside to respond."
"Understood." A Rhodok nodded and climbed up the hillside again with his pitchfork to gather the farmers who were still working with round scythes and came to the edge of the mountain on the west side to stand by.
If anything.
These peasants with extremely weak combat effectiveness may also be able to hinder the enemy a little effort.
Not that Kant was cold.
But this is the only role they can play in battle.
At the same time, the farmers took advantage of this time to prepare crude torches made of wooden sticks and worn-out clothes, poured oil found in the storage room of the governing hall, and quickly made 20 torches, enough for 3 hours of lighting.
Everyone is ready.
The torch was lit, and two Rhodoks held it up, and slowly walked into the cave.
These 2 people are the first to investigate.
Although their combat effectiveness is poor, they can retreat immediately if they find any abnormal situation. After all, they are only wearing thick leather robes. Compared with the Mamluks wearing the heavy chain armor of Salander, they are completely lightly armed units. , it should be more flexible and faster in terms of speed.
However, these Rhodoks who were born in the Rhodok Mountains and have undergone a little military training, turned around and fled when encountering dangers that they could not cope with, obviously there was no problem at all.
Kant told them that they were allowed to escape if they encountered danger.
This is also the confidence of the two Rhodoks.
The clansman at the front held a torch in his left hand, and a sharp butcher knife in his right hand, while the companion next to him looked nervously at the inside of the cave, holding the gleaming pitchfork that polished the front end, step by step, walking quite calmly , dare not have the slightest slack.
There are so many bones in the open space outside, even inside the cave, you can step on the bones from time to time.
by their weight.
The bones that stepped on the ground in the cave all made a cracking sound.
And this sound echoed in the cave.
It seemed that even the darkness had condensed.
The growling sound that was still present in the eardrums also disappeared, which made the two of them even more dignified.
Danger is certain.
But the two still walked forward slowly.
According to calculations, they may have penetrated a hundred meters into the cave.
And it's from top to bottom.
It's downhill.
However, the air in the cave is quite fresh, without the slightest smell of rancidity, which makes the two feel a little more at ease. No smell means that there are no wild animals. At the same time, the air is fresh, which means that there may be flowing water inside, or the openings connecting other areas. The air in the cave can flow.
This is an experience from the Rhodok Mountains.
But 2 people stopped.
The torch is still burning, with a little burnt smell.
The two looked at each other.
They both saw the panic and uneasiness in each other's eyes.
They had gone far into the cave, approaching a distance of more than 100 meters, and their whole body felt icy cold. Even wearing two layers of leather jackets made them shiver uncontrollably.
This is deep into the ground of the mountain, otherwise it would never be so cold.
Let them feel that what is frightening is still ahead.
Intuition from the Rhodoks told them that perhaps they should not go any further.
Just in front of the area where the torches could not illuminate, the darkness seemed to be solidified there. When I turned my head to look in the direction I came from, only a few white spots were still revealed there, giving them direction and a little sense of security.
"It's not right."
The Rhodoks holding torches swallowed.
Looking at the darkness in front of him, he clenched the slaughter knife tightly in his hand: "I always feel that there is danger ahead, maybe it shouldn't be the field we should set foot in." After a pause, he asked in a low voice: "Why don't we go back."
"But..." The Rhodoks who followed also swallowed: "The task ordered by Lord Kant has not been completed yet."
"Let's go." The Rhodoks holding the torch took half a step back, looking at the darkness in front of them, and their hearts became more and more fearful: "Lord Kant told us that if there is any danger, we can leave. He is kind." Yes, we are just the lowest-level militia, not even regular infantry, if we feel the danger and leave, Lord Kant will not punish us."
"Yes...is it..." The Rhodok tribe nodded, his face turned pale, he held his pitchfork tightly in both hands, nodded and said: "Then let's go back..."
They decided not to go any further.
Probing distance is sufficient.
Didn't find any useful information though.
Even in their perception, if they continue to walk down this cave, will they reach the legendary underworld where only the dead can live, and stay there forever, accepting the endless torture of trespassing into the underworld.
Thinking of this, they quickly turned around and retreated.
He ran as fast as if he had been defeated, with panic on his face.
Maybe it's scaring myself.
But it never hurts for them to feel like they run faster.
But when they ran more than ten meters away, in the frozen darkness behind them, there seemed to be extremely violent emotions, pairs of scarlet eyes instantly opened in the darkness, with some kind of anger, let out a low growl, in the dark The cave is extremely clear, and the sound reverberates and expands.
"Aww—"
The two Rhodoks in the cave ran faster.
There was extreme panic on his face.
Only now did they realize that it was a wise choice to turn around and run away.
While running, he turned his head and looked back, wanting to see what happened in the depths of the cave. The Rhodok man who was holding a torch swept past him, only feeling his scalp go numb, his whole head went blank, and subconsciously copied The fire torch smashed hard towards the depths of the cave, and the fleeing figure became even faster!
The two escaped from the cave panting.
With blank minds, they didn't even know that they should salute and report to Kant.
But Kant didn't care either.
"Pull them out." Kant frowned and ordered in a deep voice: "The rangers are ready to shoot."
The Mamluk who was on guard at the entrance of the cave, holding an iron staff with both hands, directly pulled out the two of them who were paralyzed by the extreme speed and fear, and blocked them neatly in front of the cave. He looked a little dignified and shocked.
Just behind these 7 steel-like Mamluks.
The 10 Ravenston rangers have drawn their heavy war bows into a full moon.
The cone-headed arrow has been resting on it with the drawn bowstring. The sharp arrow is aimed at the inside of the cave, the eyes are fixed on the target, and the breathing has slowed down slightly. This is the shooting posture.
Even Kant gripped the knight sword tightly.
Stare inside the cave.
About 50 meters away, the torch was still burning, dispelling the darkness within.
But they can see clearly.
Just opposite the torch, in the darkness deep in the cave, a pair of scarlet eyes were staring outside, revealing undisguised tyranny and hatred, as well as resentment that would slaughter everything.
And the chill was forced out of the cave more and more.
Faintly enveloped Kant.
He didn't expect that there would be such a huge danger entrenched in the bottom of his "Aaron" village, so close to him. If he didn't handle it well and was not discovered by the careful Mamluks, he probably would have to wait until he left. I don't know when, "Aaron", a village that has not yet mobilized troops, will be destroyed by the enemy, and all the personnel stationed there will be killed and wiped out!
The owner of the scarlet eyes inside.
All are magical creatures!
And it is the demonized wolf who likes to cuddle the most among the demonized creatures, and the demonized wolf who likes to travel and hunt in groups!
Kant was sure.
Although I don't understand why these demonized wolves are afraid of that little torch.
But Kant knew that with the extinguishing of the torch, those hordes of demonized wolves were about to rush out of the cave and kill them!
"Ow—"
The shrill wolf howl sounded.
It's similar to the wolf howl of the Gnoll, but it's absolutely different.
Full of brutality, resentment, and desire to kill everything!
The torches go out.
The layers of scarlet eyes in the cave rushed out like a flood, and the sound of the claws hitting the ground was accompanied by a low growl, which became louder and louder under the magnification of the cave.
"shooting!"
Kant, on the other hand, waved his sword forward without hesitation.
The 10 Ravenston rangers who had already been prepared, immediately let go of their bowstrings.
The cone-headed arrow tore through the air and appeared inside the cave in an instant.
Several pairs of scarlet eyes fell to the ground.
However, the Ravenston rangers did not stop. They drew out the cone-headed arrows on their waists and continued to shoot with the heavy war bows in their hands, one arrow after another, continuously, just like human semi-automatic rifles.
The scarlet eyes are getting closer, but also getting smaller and smaller.
"Meet the enemy head-on!"
The seven Mamluks were still unafraid. They raised their iron staffs, facing the already faintly visible pitch-black wolf head, and slammed it down heavily.
With the miserable howl of the wolf, blood spattered and brains flew.
PS: I recommend a friend's article "Dead Night Elves", which is an alien lord article. It is also a desert, but Goldfinger is the elves + undeads of Warcraft. It is still a seedling, but it is worth cultivating. Everyone can help to collect it~ It will definitely alleviate the book shortage in the future.
