"The smell of blood?"
Several people searched around but could not find the corresponding entrance. With the current hardness of the magic weapon, it was impossible to destroy it.
Bena felt it again.
"Yes... that's right," she said while hanging there. "My module will be affected by this stimulation, even if it is only weakly left in the soil, I can feel it."
Maybe the machine girl started hardening, but the smell that overflowed before that floated on the surface of the soil and would not disappear. In terms of concentration, it was not as simple as burying someone.
While several people were discussing, Vermeer walked to the side, sat down on a rock with his back to the others, and tried to pour out the sand that had just entered his boots.
Woo... I hit my feet.
"So, if we can't find the way now, how are we going to get down?" Shaye asked with a frown.
It was said to be the head, but she couldn't see where the head was at all. She flew around and couldn't find any obvious features. Logically speaking, it was impossible to miss such a big target.
Luo Wei picked up the soil under the moss and smelled it. Although there was no trace of blood soaking it, there was indeed a smell of blood.
"Not necessarily," he said.
Then he stood up and looked at Bena.
"Let me ask, your eyes, nose, and mouth are not just decorations, right?"
Bena was very unhappy inside.
Of course not! You are just a decoration, and all your facial features are just decoration!
"Y-yes...I mean, it's not a decoration."
Hum, just wait.
When I go back, I will definitely complain to Lord Marcus!
"Then don't worry about it here," Luo Wei nodded, "go somewhere else."
Eh?
Ayi Ning paused for a moment, finally found something, and just let it go? Do you think this is not the place they are looking for?
Luo Wei looked around and was about to decide the direction when the ground suddenly began to shake.
Rumble, rumble——
With a few short shocks, Vermeer fell down from the stone unsteadily, raising her head just in time to meet the eyes of several people.
Her boots fell off to the side.
Ayi Ning: "..."
Eluse: "..."
Seeing their eyes turning towards her boots, Vermeer's eyes suddenly widened.
No...it's really not me...! !
Luo Wei: "..."
You guy is quite capable of bringing trouble upon yourself.
Ayi trembled and turned around. She wouldn't be so powerful just by taking off her shoes. She asked, "Is the magic weapon going to be activated? This is much shorter than we expected."
"I'm afraid not."
The person who answered was Elus. After she finished speaking, she looked to the side in the mist and took out her short staff.
"careful."
Then, a dozen ruins wandering souls rushed out from that side, moving much faster than what they had encountered before.
clang!
Sha Ye swept her gun across the dance, and Wandering Soul raised the broken sword to block her attack. However, he could not hold on for long, and was burned into two pieces along with Wandering Soul beside him.
The strength of these monsters has been significantly improved than before.
"Magic strength, SS level..." Vermeer also picked up her boots and quickly returned to her position. The results of the magic detection were surprising.
Judging from the fluctuations in magic power, these monsters are no different from the previous ones, but their strength has been improved to a higher level for no reason. Even if they still can't use sword skills and magic, the oppression they cause is not comparable to what it originally was.
But they still had the wrong opponent.
Bena was surprised to see this group of people deal with the incoming wandering souls neatly, as if after they became more ferocious, it had no effect other than roaring louder.
Who are these people...
And she was surprised to find that Lovi Brook didn't seem to be the strongest among them, and she didn't know if he was hiding his strength. Instead, he looked like the weakest.
How can there be a church priest who can throw out high-level magic casually with a boot in one hand? !
Lu Yi put her hands on her hips and looked back at her confidently.
See, the six of us are really strong!
Beina: "..."
It seems like you just stay in the formation and cheer.
After cutting the last wandering soul into corrugated pieces, Luo Wei did not put away his sword and looked coldly ahead.
The fog is thicker than before.
It was also dyed with a faint red color, so much that you couldn't notice it unless you looked carefully. This sudden increase in strength was probably inseparable from the smell of blood underground that Bena noticed.
"So the shock just now was caused by some kind of ritual initiated by the magic weapon?" Ayi Ning gradually saw the truth.
"That seems to be the case." Luo Wei responded.
It can be seen that the Craftsmen Association did not expect that they would board magic weapons to fight, and they also prepared many "gifts" for them.
And these don't need to be planned to the extent of wiping out the Allied forces, it is enough to delay it until she regains her strength and can climb out of Tietong Ridge.
"You just said you don't need to worry about this place because you expected this?" Elus asked curiously.
"Of course not," Luo Wei curled his lips, and had nothing to admit. "Our primary purpose is to find holes. Are we really here to visit and experience every project?"
Several people trembled at the corners of their mouths.
You really can’t wait to use magic copper acid on magic weapons.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with his tactics. Since it is not what they are looking for, it would be good if he has the opportunity to inform the legion of the situation and let the lords weigh it. The Craftsmen Association really can't hold him back at all.
It's this kind of attitude that always gives people the impression that other issues besides "that thing" are unimportant, which makes people want to despise him.
Vermeer took this time to put on her shoes and stood over holding the staff as if nothing had happened.
Shaye gave her a disgusted look.
You'd better not take off your shoes. If you take off your shoes, the monster's strength will increase by one level. If you take them off again, it will still be strong.
Vermeer stood there and moved the soles of her feet, hmm...why there still seemed to be sand in them.
"Hey, you guys!"
The sound came from a distance, and everyone looked over and saw a green swamp monster shouting to them while falling into the mud.
Several people immediately formed a tactical formation.
The man was stunned for a moment, then quickly stretched out his hands to signal: "It's me!"
……Who are you?
Ayi Ning felt that the voice sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was, and she resisted getting to know the other person in her heart.
At this moment, Moira flapped her wings and fell from the sky, holding a feather gun in hand and walking along with the man.
Is it really someone they know?
When the two men approached, Luo Wei also frowned and said in deep thought:
"who are you?"
Swamp Monster was stunned for a moment, then raised his bloated hand and pointed at himself continuously, "Me! Kali Mountain's strongest backing!"
"Oh..." Luo Wei glanced at him up and down, "Are you... enchanted?"
"How can I be in that mood...!" Dundry said speechlessly, "Have you noticed the red-and-green-haired twins?"
Several people looked at each other.
There had been an attack on Atetana, and Luo Wei also informed the legion of this information. Green Son was good at sniping, and Red Son was good at shadow. Unexpectedly, these two people were also on magic weapons now.
The fog is indeed a combat environment that these two are very good at.
Through Moira's narration, the two men mainly targeted the angels and dragons in the sky through their attacks. After reuniting with Dundry, they tried to force the two into a dead end, but unexpectedly there was a narrow swamp hidden there.
then……
The experience of the chief knight of Mount Kali can be imagined.
He must have fought bravely in the swamp.
Seeing several people looking at him, Dundry slapped his forehead in confusion, "...I shouldn't have come to ask you."
"We didn't see those two people," Luo Wei said calmly, "but we found something else."
Then he briefly described the mist and the smell of blood beneath the ground.
Dundry opened his mouth in shock after hearing this, and soon he regretted that he had done this subconsciously.
"Ah bah bah..." He spit out the mud he had eaten in his helmet. These things were extremely sticky and could not be wiped off. "I am going to go find Elfa. I will discuss this matter with her. Your demon The guidance communication shouldn’t be used, right?”
Luo Wei nodded.
Magic communication has been restricted since boarding the magic weapon. This situation was anticipated in advance, so magic communication was prepared, but the distance was not so convenient.
"Ryan is in the direction behind us," Dundry waited until his subordinates followed and said, "Then we will continue to hunt the twins. I will tell the other lords about the fog. Do not worry."
"Um."
Unlike those knights who ignored him, Dundry and the other familiar faces didn't care about his behavior and didn't ask any questions.
Moira also leaned slightly towards them to signal, then raised her feather spear and prepared to follow them.
Luo Wei suddenly stopped them at this time.
"Wait." He turned back to look at the two of them, his eyes darkening slightly.
"Where is the swamp you just fell into?"
Dundry, a mass of dark green, blinked.
He knows the power of that swamp. Ordinary magic and brute force can't do anything about it. You can tell from the fact that he can only maintain it like this now.
But what Luo Wei seemed to be saying was that it was not just a simple trap.
How could a place that the other party deliberately lured them into fall into have any other meaning?
However, considering the characteristics of the twins who like to show off and make fun of others, maybe something was deliberately put on the table, so that they mistakenly thought it was a trap and missed it. At that time, he was eager to come out and catch the two people. If Luo Wei hadn't mentioned it now, he wouldn't have thought about it at all.
Did those twins intentionally mislead like this?
"there."
Dundry pointed the way for Rowe, and then the two sides separated and moved in different directions.
Luo Wei soon came to the so-called swamp.
Rather than a swamp, this place is more like a crack, filled with dark green and sticky swampland. It is indeed easy to step in accidentally in the mist.
"Do you think there is another mystery here?" Ayi Ning said, looking at the bubbly cracks.
"It doesn't matter if you try," Luo Wei stepped forward. "If you can't find the head, maybe she hid it herself. This is at least a way down."
Can this also be called a road...
Looking at Luo Wei leaning down and taking out the soft rope from his cloak, it seemed that he insisted on going on.
Huh...Bena crossed her arms.
I didn't expect that this guy is quite capable of action. He usually seems to be afraid of this and that, but he is quite brave to do it at critical moments.
Then she saw Luo Wei walking towards her with a soft rope.
Bena: "?"
Luo Wei: "."
Bena: "!!"
it is more than words.
Bringing her along will certainly come in handy at times like this.
All Bena could think about now was regret, regretting her original impulsiveness at the meeting.
He is quite brave to do it...
But let someone else do it!
Several women were a little embarrassed for a moment, but if they thought about it carefully, Beina, who was petite, did have an advantage in this environment.
Vermeer walked over, "I, I will protect you with magic...!"
Immediately, a bubble of holy water was generated and wrapped up Beina.
Although, even though it hinders his punishment a little, I believe he can still tell the difference in this kind of thing...!
Sure enough, Luo Wei did not express his opinion. After all, going down directly would definitely involve risks, and he would not let Beina not come back like this.
Wouldn't that be too cheap for her?
And just then.
boom--
A gunshot tore through the calmness in the mist, and gold-shelled projectiles struck like swift arrows, aiming directly at the soft rope used to bind the machine girl.
Ayi Ning cut it in half with one sword. She did not use magic power, but she used pure sword skills.
Luo Wei stood up coldly with his back turned, turning his head slightly like a wolf looking at him.
On the top of a rock in the distance, two twins stood there, one on the left and one on the right.
"It seems that you know how to make progress," the green-haired boy put the long metal weapon on his shoulder and said in an arrogant tone, "If you stop me in this way, are you so afraid of me?"
Several people were alert.
These two people actually lured Dundry away and returned here. Sure enough, they were guarding something.
Vermeer held the staff cautiously, being careful of those strange abilities. Athetana's divine power barrier was not there, so she could not rely entirely on magic power to resist it.
Luo Wei still maintained his posture and said slowly:
"What does it feel like in a cesspool?"
……Eh?
Several people were stunned for a moment, what... are you talking about? How could it be connected to a place like that?
Vermeer remembered that last time Luo Wei took the twin weapons and arms to the biggest one in the city...could it be...
Just throw it in there...
What a loss.
She glanced at Luo Wei accusingly, this was really... No, you can't laugh, you have to be rigorous, and you have to respect your opponent!
When the green-haired boy heard these words, he seemed to recall a very unpleasant experience. His face immediately became extremely distorted with just one sentence, and he could no longer maintain his composure.
"You guy! You actually let me!!!"
"Oh? Are you in a hurry?" Luo Wei was indifferent, "I must have blown up all over my body at that time."
Ayi Ning kept calm, but still took a moment to glance at Luo Wei.
What's going on all over me...What disgusting topics are you talking about?
The opponent immediately put the weapon in his hand and made a crossbow aiming motion.
"I'm going to make your head explode!!"
"No, El." The red-haired girl next to the boy stopped him, her expression as emotionless as ever, "We can't be enemies with them here."
Then, before a few people could take action, the shadows on the ground rose up, grabbed the two of them, and disappeared.
The girl's ethereal voice came faintly——
"There's nothing you can do, even if we're not here, just take care of yourself."
This girl, I remember her name was Yi Ni.
Luo Wei let go of the hilt of the sword that had accumulated divine power, and his eyes showed a hint of danger.
"pity."
The girl was more rational than expected, otherwise this blow would have left their lives here.
It seems that I have to find a way to deal with that girl first in the future.
He shook his head and looked at the swamp there, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"but--"
"Are you so sure about what we're going to do?"
He smiled coldly, tightened the rope on his hand again, and tried to pull it out with both hands. His thoughts seemed not to be here.
Bena was still sitting on the shore.
Seeing this scene, she shivered unconsciously.
"..."
