Note: Xu Wanshan was changed to Lin Wanshan.
——
Hearing Qin Shaoqing say that he had recovered, Lin Wanshan's pupils shrank. He had just experienced such a battle, and he hadn't seen him take magic energy recovery potion. It only took such a short time to recover. It seems that Fan Mo's real strength is probably better than him. Even stronger than imagined.
"Hahaha, it's true that a hero comes from a young age. An old man like me is really stressed out right now!"
When Lin Wanshan talked with Qin Shaoqing, he did not have the deep dignity when facing his subordinates, but instead behaved quite cheerfully.
"You are joking, compared to you, I am still far behind!"
Qin Shaoqing was not being modest when he said this, but if Lin Wanshan understood his methods and was wary of them, he would definitely lose in a real fight.
It is true that he is dressed in divine clothing, but he is not bad either. As the deputy commander of Bo City, he must have spiritual seeds. His combat experience is much richer than his, and his cultivation level is a level higher than his.
The main reason why he was able to kill so easily this time was because he was almost able to defeat the Demonic Vine Demon.
"Young people don't need to be so humble." Lai Wanshan chuckled and shook his head, "By the way, do you plan to continue the mission of the forward team in the next mine exploration?"
"That's right!" Qin Shaoqing nodded. A fierce battle was the most fundamental purpose of his trip.
"Okay! I feel relieved now."
…
During the next seven or eight kilometers, perhaps due to the influence of the previous battle, or perhaps the threat of powerful demons entrenched in the magic stone veins, I encountered almost no demons and arrived at the destination - a building quite smoothly. Tall rocky peaks.
The rocky mountains are towering into the clouds, and the steep cliffs are stacked on top of each other. Only sparse green pine trees are scattered here and there, making it look extremely desolate and devoid of life.
Looking up, you can vaguely see a dark cave entrance halfway up the mountain that leads to an unknown place.
Follow the large army and climb up to the waist to reach the mine cave.
"Everyone, be careful. Don't be too fond of fighting. Focus on exploration."
There are sixteen people in the exploration team. In addition to Qin Shaoqing, there are five intermediate mages and ten junior mages.
Walking in the dark cave, even though there is light illuminating the surrounding environment, in this silent atmosphere, only the sound of footsteps echoes, which makes people feel scared inside.
"Whoosh!"
As we go deeper and deeper into the mine cave, the rock passage gradually opens up. From the beginning, only three people can walk side by side, but it has expanded to the point where more than ten people can walk side by side without being crowded. You can also vaguely hear the sound of water coming from the depths of the cave. Voice.
At the same time, Qin Shaoqing could clearly sense that the concentration of the surrounding water elemental power was much higher than that of the outside world, and even sporadic light blue magic stones had appeared on the surrounding rock walls illuminated by light.
It seems that this vein is a water-type magic stone vein. Maybe water-type soul seeds can be found in the depths. As for water-type soul seeds, the possibility is ridiculously low.
Even if it were true, unless he used the power of the template, even if Xu Mushan, the leader of Bo City, came, he would only be able to stare blankly, and even this magic stone vein would have to be temporarily abandoned.
Ten minutes later, a few people walked out of the rock tunnel and came to a huge cave. It was as if they had entered a new world. It was hard to imagine that there was such a huge cave inside this mountain peak.
On the rock walls of the surrounding caves, pieces of magic stone ore inlaid on them emit a faint blue glow, bringing a little light to the dark cave.
Under the dim light, Qin Shaoqing could see the entire cave clearly. There was a clear pool at the bottom of the cave, which fluoresced under the dim light, reflecting the snow-white rocks at the top of the cave.
But what about the demon entrenched here? If he said there were no monsters here, he wouldn't believe it!
Looking around, Qin Shaoqing found no trace of the demon. After thinking for a moment, he expanded his perception range to the maximum, but he noticed a shocking fact.
Qin Shaoqing raised his head in disbelief and looked at the white rocks covering the top of the cave. If his perception was correct, the reason why these eyes looked white was because they were covered with a layer of snow-white demons.
As for the number of demons, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions?
What is even more frightening is that among these extremely large numbers of individuals, there is a demonic vine monster whose aura is not inferior to or even surpasses those encountered before.
Hiss, he is not worried about group battles. The Heavenly Thunder Judgment can give him the title of Harvester of Miscellaneous Soldiers, but for powerful warrior-level creatures, he cannot be his opponent without revealing his trump card.
But what gave him some peace of mind was that the group of demons seemed to be still sleeping, and they had not noticed the arrival of the uninvited guests yet.
With a gesture, Qin Shaoqing signaled everyone to leave the cave for the time being. It was the best choice to leave before the demons woke up.
Although everyone was confused, they chose to believe that Qin Shaoqing was even stronger than deputy commander Lin Wanshan in their minds.
Back at the rock tunnel, Qin Shaoqing led them back for a long distance.
"Captain, did you find something?" Someone couldn't help but asked in a low voice.
"Did you notice the white rock on the top of the cave just now?" Qin Shaoqing asked.
"Is there anything unusual about Bai Yan?"
Taking a deep breath, Qin Shaoqing told the truth.
"Those white rocks are actually caused by countless white demons covering the entire top of the cave!"
"Hiss!" Hearing this horrifying news, everyone took a breath of cold air and felt a little numb at the same time. Did they just walk through the gate of hell?
Not to mention that the strongest among their group is only the mid-level mage. Even if the high-level mage comes, in the face of such a number of demons, there is probably only one outcome, and that is death from exhaustion of magic energy.
"Captain, what's next for us..."
"Go back and report the situation directly. If nothing else, there are only groups of unknown monsters here."
No one had any objections. Ever since they knew that there was a group of monsters deep in the cave that could devour them instantly, they did not dare to stay here for a moment, for fear that they would fly out of the cave after waking up.
After returning the same way, everyone walked out of the cave. Qin Shaoqing reported to Lin Wanshan the true situation inside the cave!
After listening to Qin Shaoqing's report, Lin Wanshan frowned tightly. There were tens of thousands of unknown demons, and their strength was at least as strong as the demon leader of the Demonic Vine. Their number of people would not even be enough to fight for the demonic stone veins.
Should we give up the mine? But the magic stone veins were extremely valuable, and he didn't want to give up so easily.
Seeing Lin Wanshan's dilemma, Qin Shaoqing took the initiative to relieve him.
"Deputy Commander, if you can hold back the demon leader and other powerful individuals and buy me enough time, I may be able to kill them all."
It's not his fault, the effect of the thunder element's additional effects in team battles, especially when facing a large number of enemies but weak individuals, is incomprehensible.
