The mixed memories are like the same flashback scene, reappearing in the mind.
"...Hurry, attack them quickly!"
In the confusion, time reflection can no longer remember how those monsters appeared, and only the panicked shouts of other people in the team echoed in their ears.
He saw the rangers in the first detachment with their bows drawn. The magic gloves worn by the rangers held the bow arms tightly, and the ether made the bow strings pale and shiny, but almost none of the arrows shot hit the enemy.
The arcs of light that streaked through the darkness fell away one by one. Those monsters looked like crystal-like human figures, or a green phantom reflected in the mirror world. They moved very fast, even faster than the hysterics of the squad leaders. Screams from the ground:
"Put up a shield in the front row and stop them!"
But Time Reflection watched helplessly as a cyan afterimage passed through the clumsy formation of the shield guards and crashed straight into the female ranger captain not far away from him.
The upper body of Ms. Ranger, who was strong and graceful, folded back strangely, flew up like a rag doll, and fell on the edge of a sharp rock not far away.
Her entire lower body almost disappeared, and her wide, dark pupils were like a void of nothingness. The surprise at the last moment was fixed on her expression, as if she still couldn't believe what had happened.
Time Reflection did not dare to look at the blood-stained stiff face. The fantasy he had about this lady not long ago seemed to make him feel a certain degree of guilt - although he knew that all this was not the reality of another world. , but the young man couldn't help but open his mouth wide, almost suffocating.
The green crystal monster turned to him again, his hands and feet were cold as time reflected, and he forgot how to deal with it for a moment.
But a battle ax suddenly flew from the side and cut into the crystal monster's shoulder with a bang, causing it to stagger backward.
With a roar, a burly man came out from the side, took advantage of the opponent's loss of center of gravity, hit it, and knocked it away.
The big man held a big shield. He pressed the monster to the ground with one shield. He pulled out the battle ax from its shoulder with his backhand and chopped the opponent's head into pieces with one axe, two axes and three axes.
He then turned around, as if his anger was still there, grabbed the collar of Time Reflection, and roared:
"Why are you in a daze? You don't want to live anymore!? Prepare your magic!"
After a moment of reflection, he realized that this mad warrior was their leader.
But a scream interrupted their thoughts:
"...There are more and more of them!"
The big man turned around and frowned as he looked at the blue shadow emerging from the darkness.
"retreat--"
He waved his hand vigorously: "Retreat into the cave in two groups, and the third group will stay behind."
Although they knew clearly that cutting off the back would lead to death, the Iron Guards of the third detachment still raised their large shields without hesitation, threw away the fighting epee in their hands, took two pieces of halberds from behind, and assembled them together.
Because they know that the guild will give corresponding compensation after resurrection, and escaping here will only result in more losses than gains.
"The magic team leaves first."
The big man turned around and pushed the time reflection: "Time, please stay for a while and add a BUFF to them before leaving."
Time Reflection took a breath, finally recovered from the previous daze, and nodded. He looked back at the blue shadows in the darkness, knowing that this was dangerous, but it was not his choice.
"I'll let Rainbow stay to protect you," the big man patted his shoulder, "Be careful."
The army is retreating.
Hydra's guild also left behind a broken detachment. The two detachments were like two thin fronts, blocking the center of the gap.
Time Reflection climbed up a rock and was about to cast a spell from a high position. He calculated the distance silently and found that it was not too close or too far.
But he was thinking of taking a step forward to be safer. He didn't intend to do it again because of the failed spell casting. Although it was dangerous to stay here, unlike the iron guards below, he still had a chance to survive.
But a hand stretched out from the thick black smoke behind him pulled him back, "You don't want to live anymore?"
A nightingale walked out of the separated smoke. The night-walking clothes perfectly outlined her graceful figure. There were sharp-toothed daggers inserted on the left and right sides of the dark magical furnace behind her. Time Reflection knows that these daggers have a different origin. It is said that they are a pair of legendary magic tools.
Just like he knew the identity of this girl.
Her name is Rainbow, and she is the leader of the Nightingale Squadron in this operation.
The girl glanced at him with her lavender eyes and said in a cold tone.
She looked ahead again and said: "The distance here is enough, let's cast the spell. The leader asked me to take you back alive, but I don't want to see you turn into a corpse."
Time Reflection shuddered and nodded quickly.
He raised his magic wand and recited the incantation silently in his mind. The Iron Guards had already engaged those blue crystal creatures, and there was not much time left for him.
The magician needs to remember his own incantations, but when they are unable to focus due to nervousness, those incantations wander in his mind, are out of order, and even disappear out of thin air, like goblins that do not obey instructions.
It took him a few tries to get his concentration together.
"Quite fast."
The Nightingale girl muttered, finally understanding the reason why the leader asked her to be optimistic about this person.
But at this moment, the ground shook slightly, interrupting their thoughts. Rainbow looked at the loose rock wall on one side, and her expression suddenly changed:
"Careful, stay back!"
"Stop casting spells and come to me!"
But the reflection of time only turned back a little blankly.
He saw Miss Nightingale's right arm turn into a jet of black mist, rolling towards him. She looked anxious, as if she had seen something.
But the rock formation suddenly collapsed with a roar, and a giant crystal-like claw broke out of the ground, one step ahead of the dark smoke, blocking the way between him and the other party.
At that moment, when time was reflected, he felt that the world was turning upside down, and the rolling rocks took him downwards. He only saw the ferocious face of the giant creature revealed from under the rock formations.
A crystal-shaped giant crab.
Caihong glanced at him from afar, turned around and left resolutely.
That was the last scene seen by Time Reflection.
In a daze, everything returned to darkness, but the sound did not disappear. He didn't know how long it had been, but he seemed to still be able to hear the sounds of the battle.
He didn't know if it was an illusion or if he was experiencing the previous battle again, until a violent shock woke him up from his drowsiness.
He opened his eyes through a narrow slit first, and what came into his field of vision was light.
The orange light was a wall of burning fire. The flames seemed to be burning on top of the dark ice. The swaying light left many dark shadows on the gravel-strewn ground.
He was still confused, but he could still instinctively tell that the fire wall was a magical effect, the elementalist's flame path, or the magic crossbowman's flame bomb.
Then a figure appeared in his phantom-filled vision.
Although he couldn't see the other person clearly, he could also recognize that it was a young man wearing a brown windbreaker with a shirt and a vest underneath. The other person was wearing a very thick glove and put his hand on his shoulder. , shook him.
"Hey, are you okay?"
The other person's voice was younger than expected, even a little childish.
The other party turned around and said:
"Tangtang, show him."
"No need to read it," a girl's voice said impatiently, "I've seen it before. Brother, are you stupid? You might as well take him to a safer place than this. You haven't looked at those things. More and more."
"Tangtang, are you really Mirela's pastor? But I heard that the followers of the goddess are all good-tempered and patient. They are not like you. A little, a little..."
"Something?"
"A-a bit sinister..."
Two murderous eyes fell on Fang Plover, who immediately closed his mouth with no dignity.
This conversation made the already muddled time reflection even more confusing for a moment. It reminded him of his tone when he was joking with other people in the guild chat channel, but it seemed that it should not be in the current environment.
He groaned, as if he just remembered where this place was.
By the way, where are those monsters?
Is anyone else in the group still alive?
Just as he was thinking, suddenly, those familiar blue shadows appeared in his field of vision again. They emerged in the darkness like phantoms, stars appearing in the distance.
Time Reflection opened his mouth, as if he wanted to remind the young man in front of him.
But there was a bang and the ground shook slightly. He couldn't help but subconsciously turned his eyes and saw a strange construct appearing next to him.
It has a slender body, wearing a pointed hat, and is completely black. The edges of its armor are inlaid with golden patterns. It is tilting its head, raising a dark magic gun with both arms, leaning on its shoulders, and half-kneeling on the ground.
The young man straightened up.
He turned around and looked at the blue shadows, raising his hand in one direction.
The construct pulled the trigger, and Time Reflection almost felt the air shake slightly. Smoke mixed with flames spurted out from the muzzle of the magic gun.
A golden light shot straight out from the clouds and mist, like a shooting star, intersecting with the blue shadow. The latter paused, obviously feeling threatened by the blow.
Fighting Craftsman.
Time Reflection opened his mouth. It was true that he had seen combat craftsmen before, but he had never seen this kind of construct.
"You can't hit them, leave quickly..."
Although he didn't know the origin of the other party, he still tried his best to make a hoarse voice, trying to tell the young man and his sister how terrible these monsters were.
But the next moment, the sound was stuck in his throat.
He saw the young man adjusting his gloves and seemed to whisper something. In a daze, he actually understood the meaning of that sentence:
"Correction shot."
The blue shadow sped up and crossed the crack like a blue phantom.
But the time reflection heard a loud noise, and a golden light shot out from a direction he couldn't see, with a falling arc, and accurately hit the blue shadow's right shoulder.
The golden light passed through its crystal body and exploded a big hole there. Time seemed to be frozen, and the crystal fragments were scattered and sparkling.
Then the crystal monster flew backwards due to the huge impact and rolled on the ground several times.
What follows is continuous shooting.
The young man stood not far away from him, stretching out his left hand forward. Every time he pointed in a direction, one or several golden threads connected to the darkness in that direction.
Those strange constructs shot very accurately, hitting a crystal monster almost every two shots. They followed one after another, but their offensive suddenly stalled.
In the reflection of time, he saw that the construct would pull back a long rod on the magic gun every time it fired a round, manually rotate the chamber, and eject the shell, and then start the next round of shooting.
After six rounds of shooting, it cocked the gun, pulled it out of the chamber, and began to change the ammunition. The whole process was smooth and smooth, as if it was not controlled by the construct.
But a real person.
The time was reflected and I was stunned for a moment.
Which guild does the other party belong to?
Are the people sent by 'Twilight' here?
He only knew that Twilight was the largest guild in Nognis, and that the other party was also one of the collaborators of the Descendants of Flor here. However, unlike the big guilds in the general sense, Twilight people were rarely domineering. They were around the outer islands. activities and rarely even conflicts with others.
In the eyes of outsiders, the people in Dusk seemed a bit mysterious, just as these people seemed mysterious in front of him.
Time Reflection wanted to ask, but for a moment he couldn't make a sound.
At this moment, the blue phantom finally broke through the defense line and came to them, but the three constructs suddenly raised their magic guns at the same time, took half a step back, and pressed their mechanical arms against the cylindrical magic weapon on one side. superior.
Time Reflection didn't understand what it was at first, but now it became clear that it was a scabbard.
Can they still fight in close combat?
Before he could finish his thoughts, his eyes flashed, and the crystal creatures that were rushing towards the young man suddenly fell down in a twisted posture.
Their upper and lower bodies separated and fell to the ground, shattering like glassware.
The three constructs sheathed their swords together.
Time Reflection opened its mouth.
? ? ?
"Brother Ed, there are monsters here too, they have surrounded us!"
Another voice came over, also a girl's voice, which seemed to be younger than the previous one.
"Tianlan, look in that direction."
The young man replied.
Time Reflection seemed to have come back to reality.
He was gradually recovering his consciousness, and then he noticed that the previous battle did not repel those monsters, on the contrary, their number became more and more.
Their figures gradually appeared in every fork in the cave, on the steep rocks, in the shadows, countless shadows.
The young man obviously had a headache watching this scene.
"They let us come here on purpose. It was a trap."
"It seems that the log is right. These things have advanced intelligence. If they don't have such a level themselves, then there is something behind them directing them."
"I don't think they're at this level, Ed."
A rich voice came over, and Time Reflection was somewhat surprised to see a majestic big cat man appear in his field of vision.
It was a lion paladin, holding a two-handed sword and standing in front of the young man.
The big cat turned around and said:
"Their coordination level is very low. I'm afraid they only have a low level of intelligence and only know how to fight instinctively."
"I think so too, Mr. Big Cat, that there is something behind them directing them." The young man replied.
"It's the Lion Man, little one."
The two people were talking for some time, and Reflection couldn't understand it, but he at least understood the movements of the lion-man paladin. He held the sword in one hand, stretched out his paws, and faced the palm forward:
A golden ripple spread out in all directions with him as the center, forming a wall of light, causing all the surrounding crystal monsters to hit the wall.
And further, on the golden hexagonal light wall, another light spear stretched out, piercing the monsters.
Although these light spears were not enough to kill them, they made these monsters with low intelligence have doubts, and the blue shadows stopped at the edge of the light wall.
God's Barrier.
Time Reflection recognized this spell, but God's Barrier did not have an attack effect. He was stunned for a moment and then roughly thought of a term - Virtue Knight.
In this era, there are not many real knights left. People call knights who can abide by the knight's motto a truly noble knight.
The Knight of Virtue is an example of this.
"This spell can confuse them for a period of time," the big cat said again, keeping its right paw raised, "but we don't have much time left, Ed, make a decision quickly."
"Now we still have a chance to break out, but once we go deeper, it will be difficult to turn back."
The young man turned around and came to the reflection of time:
"Are you OK?"
Time Reflection nodded reluctantly.
He opened his mouth to ask if the other party was the support arriving later and what the situation was like at the camp, but he was so weak that he could hardly make a sound.
The young man held him down and asked:
"We lost our map. You should have the map down here, right?"
The reflection of time was still a little drowsy. He always felt that the face in front of him looked familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
Fang Yu obviously does not have that intimidating temperament. On the contrary, his ordinary and somewhat delicate face is quite approachable.
He glanced back at Red, and the big cat nodded—the map was lost, so to speak. If you say you have never had it, it is a kind of loss.
The Knight of Virtue would not lie, and he could not think of any reason for the other party to lie.
Time Reflection nodded and pointed at his chest with difficulty.
Just in case they get lost down here, they each have a backup map. These maps were made by Nightingales who worked on the excavations here over several months.
Every miner has a copy of the map itself, so it is not considered a secret.
Fang Yu looked at the necklace on the other person's chest, and picked it up after asking for the other person's permission. He injected a little magic power to activate it, and a three-dimensional map under the crack in the three-dimensional projection was presented in front of the two of them.
It is roughly divided into three levels, and each level has more than one passage leading downwards. These passages were left by the people who previously conducted mining operations here.
Fang Plover pointed to several of the passages and said to the lion paladin on the side: "Mr. Reid, you see, there is more than one entrance and exit down here. I visited the union's mine in Kapka, Kaolin-Ishuli Almost all the mines in An are designed by alchemists, and they remain true to their origins."
"Unless these monsters are spread all over this mine, they can't possibly guard every entrance and exit."
Rhett touched his beard: "Then what are you going to do?"
"Hide and seek with them," Fang Plover replied, "and collect what we want in the process."
"You are the leader," the big cat man nodded, "You have the final say."
Fang Yu turned around and looked at the time reflection, "Friend, we have to leave this place next, can you still move?"
Time Reflection shook his head laboriously.
"It doesn't matter, we can take you away," Fang Plover replied, "But if we encounter any trouble, we may give priority to leaving you behind. Is that okay?"
Time Reflection breathed a sigh of relief. He was betting that a team with virtuous knights would never leave him alone. Facts proved his idea, the other party was more reliable than he imagined.
He finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: "I...understand."
Of course he understood that this was the best choice.
Fang Yu nodded and then turned around.
He looked at the monster lingering in front of the light wall in the distance and asked behind:
"Parker, are you ready?"
But it was Jita who answered him, "Brother Ed, you're ready."
"Find a weak spot in the structure?"
"Well, thanks to Sister Sylvide's help, she is very accomplished in architecture."
What else can’t Miss Ship Officer not do? Fang Yu was slightly stunned, but he knew that these were just common sense among nobles.
In this world similar to the one on Earth centuries ago, nobles and monks were the group of people who monopolized knowledge. He looked in a direction in the darkness and replied:
"Then mark them."
"OK."
Jita's answer was clear and powerful.
Time Reflection immediately heard a strange spell coming from him. The spell was sonorous and powerful. It was neither a magician's spell nor an elementalist's spell.
Then he saw three red lights lighting up in the darkness in the distance, falling under the rock wall.
He also heard the young man speak again:
"Mr. Reid, cancel the spell."
The big catman retracted his claws.
The wall of light dimmed slightly and then disappeared. The crystal monsters separated on the other side of the wall immediately became excited. They gathered into a torrent and swept in this direction.
Although Time Reflection knew that these people were prepared, he still couldn't help but feel excited when he saw this scene.
But Fang Yu lowered his hand at this moment, and the strange constructs all lowered their arms.
"Parker." He turned around.
"Look at me!"
A somewhat exaggerated, high-pitched voice came.
There were three muffled sounds, and time reflection immediately saw three arcs of light appearing in the darkness, and three crossbow arrows with long tails flew in that direction.
They accurately hit the three light spots shining with dark red light under the rock wall, and then an astonishing light bloomed from the arrow clusters.
The three tremors converged together to form a deafening explosion that echoed under the rock formations. The reflection of time recognized it as an explosive crossbow bolt, a useless skill at this level.
But they produced an exaggerated effect.
A crack suddenly appeared on the gravel-strewn rock formation there.
The crack quickly expanded into an unbridgeable crack, causing the wall to collapse with a loud creaking sound, turning into a piece of falling rock fragments.
The violent vibrations formed a chain reaction, causing the rock walls to fall off piece by piece, falling down like a collapsed mountain.
The rock formations and gravels like rolling water instantly buried the crystal monster below.
The rising smoke obscured everything and everyone's sight.
Fang Plover turned around in the smoke, clapped his hands and said:
"Let's go, hurry up."
