Chapter 27 Disappearing out of thin air
When Shuer came back to his senses from the dizziness of space magic, he found that he was on the edge of the camp and there was no threat around him, but the melee professions were still cautiously guarding the periphery. This is the professional quality of the mercenaries. Now, since all the defensive forces in the camp were transferred to the shelter to defend, they no longer belong to the safe area. Defensive measures must be taken at any time. This is not something that can be done casually. In history, many powerful warriors died from the raid of the monster because they ignored the changes in the safe area.
"Everyone is on the spot." Shuer then signaled Mia with his eyes. The meaning was obvious. My mission has been completed and it is time for you to take over.
"You keep going." Unexpectedly, Mia shook her head and said, "The issue of command will be discussed when the battle is over."
"You are really lazy." Shul sighed. It was not a happy thing to take responsibility suddenly when he didn't need it, but he was not a person who could shirk responsibility, so he had to shrug. Just as he was about to say something, a violent vibration suddenly came from the ground under his feet.
The effect like an earthquake made everyone's body a little unstable. Not only people, but not far away, the camp houses were shaking. Then there was a loud bang. A stream of smoke and dust that covered the sky and the sun rose from the excavation site. The bricks and rubble rushed into the sky in the shape of a jet of gushing into the sky, and they fell around like rain.
In energy perception, you can clearly feel that a huge energy burst violently from the location of the magic tower. The violent magic energy was like the light of destruction, almost destroying everything around it. Even the edge of the excavation site collapsed partly. Fortunately, the ruins of the ancient city were located underground, otherwise the power of the explosion would be enough to destroy the entire camp.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, how is that big spider?" Dak, who had experienced many real wars with his mercenary group and had also seen big scenes in various missions, was the first to recover from the shock of the explosion. "An explosion of this scale should be able to kill it."
"This is not necessarily." Shure's recovery is not slower than Dak. "You and I will definitely not be able to create such large-scale destruction with all our strength, but Mia and Yuli should be able, well, if they burn their potential for life, what do you think?"
"It's hard to say, but if I destroy a few magic weapons on my body, there will be no problem." The noble and elegant beautiful Winged Man flapped his wings, "The magic weapons on us ordinary Winged Man are not good things, and they can cause damage to this scale. Some better magic weapons will be much more powerful when detonated than now, but..."
"But your strength cannot be activated, right?"
"No, no, I mean, but those are too rare, ordinary winged people like me can't afford it."
"Ha, it's so ordinary." Shure was too lazy to talk about the issue about the ordinary Winged Man, and directly ignored her explanation and said to Dark, "So, this explosion is only at most the top gold-level scale. If you want to completely kill the legendary monster, you may be less than this. No matter what, go and take a look."
This is the most direct way, and no one will object. Now I don’t care about checking the situation of more than 100 ordinary mercenaries and excavation teams. If you don’t deal with the mutant spider mother first, everyone will be finished.
However, when ten people ran to the edge of the excavation site, everyone was stunned.
The magic tower below was gone. It was originally a deep pit that was blown out of the magic tower. The wreckage of the tower body sprinkled throughout the entire area of the excavation site. From the rubble, you can also see the remains of the little spider's minced limbs. Everyone had expected this scene before. Mia was still glad that she was lucky. Fortunately, Militi had let everything out of the magic tower first, otherwise she would lose all her money this time. So this was not surprising. What was really unexpected was that there was nothing in the deep pit and there was no shadow of the mutant spider mother.
This is very strange.
The magic tower did not collapse, but was blown away, and the debris flew everywhere instead of piled up in place. Look at the excavation site, although it was covered with a thick layer of gravel, the thickness was not enough to cover the body of the mutant spider mother. The mutant spider mother was extremely large. Even if she lay down against the ground, her body was three or four meters high, but there was no gravel three or four meters away around.
Moreover, when the explosion occurred, everyone turned their eyes immediately and did not see the body of the spider mother being blown into the sky. Logically speaking, it should still be in the deep pit, but now it is gone.
There are only two reasons to explain. For a moment, it crawled away and hid itself, but it was blown up. But if you think about it carefully, neither reason could stand.
With the size of the mutant spider, there is no space for hiding in the excavator. Everyone is condescending and can see clearly in the excavator. Unless it digs a hole into the ground, it will be discovered wherever it hides. As for really getting into the ground? Don’t joke, it will take a long time to dig a hole just by digging it.
It is even more impossible to be blown up. Even if the hardness of its shell is ignored, if the explosion can really blow up it, the problem is still its size. Its size is large and the fragments must be large. There can be many visible on the surface of the ruins of the ruins, even the limbs of the small spider. Such a large fragment will inevitably be exposed, but there is no.
The mercenaries looked at each other, it was interesting, where did it go?
Looking at the devastated excavation site, Shuer knocked on his thigh and remained silent for a few seconds. His face suddenly changed. He clenched his fists with a gloomy face, and said in a calm tone: "Let's go, go to the shelter first to see the situation. I hope there will be no impact."
The so-called shelter is actually in the camp. It is a fortification built five meters underground with rocks dug up around the excavation site. The walls are very thick enough to block most of the impact. The space inside is not too large, but it is still possible to accommodate about a hundred people.
"Wuwuwu." As soon as we moved, Dak sounded the horn of contact. In fact, the two sides were not far apart, only 200 to 300 meters, but there were many buildings in the middle, so we could not see them directly, so we could only communicate with them using sound.
The horn response that was sent back soon made Shuer relieve his heart a lot. Dark's two subordinates led ordinary mercenaries to guard outside the shelter. Since they responded normally, there was no problem with the shelter.
Sure enough, bypassing several buildings, you can see from a distance that the mercenaries have built temporary shelters around the exit of the shelter and are guarding behind the shelter in batches. The mercenaries are actually very worried now, especially the explosion just now, which makes them even more worried.
It’s not that they are worried about the safety of these high-level mercenaries. They don’t care about the lives of these strong men, and it’s not their turn to worry about the strong men. What they are worried about is that if Mia dies in the explosion, no one will pay it. Of course, there is another point. The mercenaries also know what the performance of these strong men is like facing a great enemy. If the strong men die and the enemy is not dead, then they will be the next group.
Therefore, when we saw the high-level mercenaries returning intact, everyone cheered from the bottom of their hearts, and it was another matter for whom.
"Call out everyone inside, hurry up." Shuer's expression was calm, but his speech speed increased significantly, as if he was racing against time. "The number of people is wrong, Dark, let your people report the situation."
"Now the supreme command is on the way to Suer." Mia added in time, "his orders are leisurely."
Hearing Mia's addition, the mercenaries sent a representative to go into the shelter and call people with doubts.
"Hunting Falcon." Like Shuer, Dark discovered the number of people at the first time. There were fifty-two ordinary mercenaries, and now there were only more than thirty people present. He also wanted to know where the remaining people were going, "Where are those people?"
"Huh? Commander, you didn't..." The black armored knight, known as the Hunter Falcon, is also a high-level knight of the silver rank. He is considered an old member of the Dark Mercenary Group. Therefore, after subconsciously speaking a little nonsense, he woke up and slapped his helmet heavily and responded loudly, "Reward, six minutes ago, several professional members of the excavation team took a group of workers out. They asked some mercenaries to protect their safety. We are not qualified to stop them, so we can only cooperate with them to send troops."
Hum? Going out? What a hell is this? Shul, Dark and Mia looked at each other and gritted their teeth in secret.
"More details." Resisting the anger in his heart, Dark asked, "Where are they going, and you are not qualified to stop it?"
"We can't stop it because of a mage assistant from Lord Mia." The armor covered the wry smile on the falcon's face. "They said that they were worried that the things transported from the magic tower would be destroyed, so they insisted on transporting them back as soon as possible."
"Can't they wait for a while?" Mia couldn't help but curse, but as soon as the falcon said, the three of them understood almost everything.
It is obvious that six minutes ago, the energy intensity in the magic pool was getting higher and higher, and the possibility of an accidental explosion was getting greater and greater. Although the shelter and the magic tower were several hundred meters apart, the mages in the shelter must have noticed such a high energy reaction. Although they did not know what was happening inside the magic tower, it was still clear that the energy explosion was likely. It was the instinct of these scholars to protect the excavated antiquities, and it was indeed a bit difficult for them to sit idly and watch the antiquities be destroyed.
So, a pair of scholars set off with porters and guards, but they didn't want to enter the magic tower to cause trouble for the mercenaries. They just wanted to move things around the excavation site back to the shelter first, so as not to explode and destroy the antiquities. Anyway, the distance is not far, just one or two hundred meters, and they came back in a few minutes. They brought a lot of guards, which was not considered risky, and it was understandable.
But what about people?
