"Well? Who is this?" Panis built the cellar cover, and Lina took a few steps back and leaned against the wall of the house. When he looked back, he found an old man following Ladya and also came to the backyard, and asked.
"Sir, this is the village chief." Ledia replied loudly: "I came from the priest and met at the door."
The old man ran a few times before the bus grabbed Panis's arm and asked anxiously: "Sir, have you found someone? How is the situation here? The priest only told me that there are monsters here, please save them."
"Don't be anxious first." Lina secretly released a calming technique to relieve the old village chief's anxiety: "The people have not found it yet, but the monster's nest should be here. We will go down to find it later, don't worry."
"Monster's Nest?" The village chief was startled and looked around nervously: "Monsters are still here? Will they not hide elsewhere?"
"Often it is not." Lina explained: "Animal nature will hide in the nest. Moreover, this monster can attack humans and let humans be dragged away without any chance of resistance. Obviously, it is not small. There is no place to hide in other places in the village except his nest, so it is very likely that it will be here. You can leave first, there may not be any danger here at any time. Don't worry, we will solve it."
"Then please give me everything." The village chief took a few steps, stopped suddenly and said, "I'll wait at the door. I can know any problems immediately. Maybe I can help."
"Don't." Lina looked at the village chief's trembling steps with laughter and crying: "We may not end when it will be over. You should go back to the temple and wait with the priest. By the way, please tell Pastor Mirak that if our time is delayed for a long time, we will not be in trouble. However, before we come back, unless a legendary adventurer comes here, no matter who it is, no matter who it is."
Panis ignored the village chief who turned around step by step and said to Ledia: "Have you thought about it? I probably guessed what is below. An annoying animal, are you sure you want to go down with us?"
"Yes, sir." Ledya replied firmly with his head raised.
"What did you guess?" Lina took five ropes from Ladya's hand, handed Penis three, wrapped the other two around her waist, and asked while wrapping them.
"Ground Hunter." Panis took out a small tool from the small package he carried with him. He first wrapped around his left forearm a few circles and fixed it. Then he took the crystal energy lamp that Ladyya brought and buckled it to his left forearm. The crystal energy lamp was firmly fixed to his left forearm. Even if Panis waved his arm a few times, there was no sign of looseness.
"I'm afraid it's this kind of thing." Lina sighed, putting aside her last bit of luck, and while demonstrating Lady's how to make a simple rope climber, she said: "It's a headache. How long have you just left the ground? You're going back again, it's so annoying."
"Sir." Ledya hesitated, and finally he mustered up the courage to ask: "What is the Land Hunter...?"
"A kind of lizard." Panis finally checked his equipment: "It is generally not big, and hunted insects and small creatures in the cracks and caves of the underground. Their tongues can pop out and retract very quickly. There are hollow barbs at the bottom of the tongue. After hitting the prey, it will inject paralyzing toxins and quickly paralyzing the prey. At the same time, the tongue retracts and drags the prey back to its mouth. Also, their front paws are very powerful, your skin shield... Hey, you have changed the steel shield. Not bad, the steel shield can block their claws. The skin shield and wooden shields are not good. Finally, you should note that their skin is very tough, their defense is very strong, and it is difficult to break the defense of ordinary attacks. This kind of monster is usually small. I have only heard of the emergence of large-scale hunters twice. Okay, I'll go down first, and you can wait for my news."
Ladyya was about to say something, but Lina was severely stopped: "He is an explorer, so he must go down first. If you want to fight with us, you must obey the order from now on. If you cannot obey the order, you will go back now."
"Yes, sir."
Panis ignored the little episode above and used a short stick to open the cellar cover from a distance, and flexibly penetrated into the cellar entrance like a fish. Not long after, he heard his shout: "Come down."
The cellar of Ryan's house was quite large, with a height of six or seven square meters, more than one person. When Ledya came down, Panis had already lit the oil lamp in the cellar. With the light, you can see an irregular cave with an approximately circular shape and a diameter of more than one meter. The cave extends obliquely downward and the slope is very steep.
"It's here." Panis squatted at the corner of the round hole and said, "The claw marks here are in and out, well, and there are more than one. Judging from the marks, one big or two small, ha, there are actually three. Such a large land hunter, at least in their own territory, must be divided into the strength of the intermediate silver level, and I am not surprised that he has the strength of the high silver level or even the golden level. You can prepare it."
Panis took out a thick and long steel nail and threw it to Lina. Lina snorted indignation, and still nailed the steel nail into the ground of the cellar with her cherished nail. Panis smiled snickered, tied the rope tightly on the steel nail, lit the crystal lamp, head down and foot up, climbed the rope with her feet, and slid into the hole bit by bit.
After climbing down for a few meters, Panis found that the soil layer became very hard. After climbing for a few meters, he suddenly found that the obliquely downward passage was replaced by a vertically downward, more spacious shaft.
"Tsk, the soil cracks, I guess there is such a thing." Panis muttered himself, "Otherwise the animals wouldn't dig a hole dozens of meters to the ground. Hell, let's go down." While muttering, his body kept sliding down, and soon the twenty-meter rope had reached the end. Panis sighed, hung upside down and connected another rope to continue his journey.
"Ground Hunter, Earth Hunter, where are you?" Panis, who was sliding, humming with a tune: "Come out and let me see you, I can smell you, la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la, but obviously, the lizards were not ready to obey Panis' orders, and there was no movement at all.
When the second rope was about to reach its end, Panis, who was constantly adjusting the crystal energy lamp on his arm, finally saw the ground below. He couldn't help but whistle, turned over and landed steadily. After confirming that there was no danger, he grabbed the rope and shook it with clever force. The drooping rope formed a waveform under the shaking, and the waveform continued to rise against the trend, crossing nearly forty meters, and spread to the end fixed on the steel nail. He shook three times in a row, paused for a while, and then shook three times in a row, until he felt someone pulling it lightly for a few times on it, Panis stopped sending the signal.
Not long after, a jingling sound came from the top of his head, and at the same time, Ladya clumsyly slid down from the rope and landed heavily beside Panis. If Panis hadn't helped him, he would have fallen directly.
"Are you okay?" Panis said with a wry smile: "Don't you practice this when your city guards are training?"
"Sorry, sir." Ledia was startled by the echo of her answer and quickly lowered her voice: "We haven't practiced it."
"It's still troublesome to wait." Panis shrugged in the dark: "Climbing up is not as easy as falling down."
"It's okay, you can use a rope to pull her up at that time." Lina's voice came from the top of her head, but it was not Lina who came down first, but another rope. The rope hung directly to the ground and was placed on the ground for several times before stopping.
"Where did you nail your rope?" Panis asked, looking up, "Where is the end of the crack in the soil?"
"Yes, that's there, just in case." The light on his head swayed. Lina held the oil lamp in one hand and grabbed the rope in the other, and slid down to the ground lightly. She asked around, "How is the situation?"
"As you can see," Panis looked ahead: "The soil cracks followed by rock cracks. It seems that several hunters crawled out from here."
"Rock? That's wrong. The hunters in the ground can't dig rocks, right?" Lina was stunned: "The rock cracks should be natural. It seems, well, it was there a long time ago. It's strange. Why are they attacking humans on the ground now? Since these two cracks have existed for a long time, they should have gone up long ago."
"Who knows." Panis looked into the crack: "Go in and take a look. I can never guess standing here. Hey, wait a moment, what do I smell? The smell of a hunter."
"Have you found a land hunter?" Lina learned to listen to Panis and smelled everywhere, but found nothing.
"Finally, they are hunting, and the prey is." Panis suddenly flashed to the side, and a white shadow hit him in the position where he was originally standing. At this moment, he said the last half of his sentence: "We."
Ladyya, who had been holding the sword shield and was extremely nervous when she saw Bai Ying, her mind had no time to react. Her body had faithfully followed the skills in the training and slashed with a sword. A bowstring sound rang out. Ladyya took a few steps back, and the sword in her hand was almost bounced away, but Bai Ying quickly retracted without any injuries.
"I forgot to say it." Panis stood aside and said leisurely: "Their tongues are tougher than skin and are the strongest defense position on the body, so don't bother to chop the tongue. The eyes, inside the mouth, midline of the abdomen and anus are the weaknesses."
Lina listened: "This voice is...running? Could it be that they can also set traps?"
"Of course." Panis nodded and said, "Hunters who do not know how to set up traps are not good hunters. Their hunters' names are not called for nothing. They are born to set up traps to trap prey. We have two choices now. One is to chase them in, induce their siege, and then kill them all with the attack. The other is to ambush us and wait here. When they can't help but come out, they will kill them all. Which one do you think is better?"
"Did you forget? I said you make a decision." Lina replied without objection.
"So, then we... should rest here for a while." Panis thought for a moment and said, "I'm sleepy."
"Damn, you were still shouting about being hungry just now, why are you sleepy again now?" Lina cursed with laughter and cry.
"There is no way, sleepiness is more terrifying than hunger." Although Panis said this, he used the light of the oil lamp to wink at Lina in a vague way and glanced at Ledya.
Thinking of Ladyya's strength level, Lina nodded suddenly: "Okay, okay, sleep, you can rest in peace. By the way, it's just such a big place, how can you hide it and ambush?"
Panis blinked mysteriously and took out several silver discs from his pocket: "Young girl, whenever she carries the hidden magic array and the defensive magic array for camping with her, is the basic quality of a top adventurer."
