It was already dawning, and by the light of the burning fire, I could see people anxiously moving the rocks at the entrance of the mine.
Everyone felt the evil wind yesterday, including Dallion, so he insisted on using a carriage to transport me to the entrance of the mine, while Marcus was sent to the home of the midwife, Ms. Melita.
The wind in the early morning was very cold, but beads of sweat hung on the noses of those busy people.
"Faster! Faster!" A woman who was almost as strong as Dallion shouted in a rough voice. She took the big stone handed over by Ryder, threw it casually, and threw it ten meters away. Outside, Ryder was stunned for a moment.
Her name is Supriya, she likes to look at people arrogantly with her chin raised, her mouth corners are habitually lowered, and she is unsmiling. Because of her tall stature, she looked down upon everyone.
Ever since Dalien refused to place me under the tree and use the carriage to transport the stones, her face became elongated and her eyes were particularly harsh, especially when she looked at Dalien and me.
"Supriya, if down here is really the gate to hell..." Someone said worriedly, but she shouted down.
"What are you afraid of?! Between the Gate of Hell and us, there are our brothers, fathers, sons, and men! We can't leave them alone! Moreover, do you believe the nonsense about the Gate of Hell?! It is nothing more than It's...it's the nonsense that Old Ham told Mr. Marcus when he was drunk!" Before he finished speaking, the rock at the entrance of the cave suddenly slid down, causing everyone to scream, and Supriya immediately pulled the man next to him. People move back.
Click--
Pebbles rolled down on her toes.
There was a dead silence.
call--
A cold wind blew out from the cracks in the rocks, and even though I was so far away, I could feel the bone-chilling coldness inside.
That feeling made me pinch the groove of the carriage window tightly.
That's not a cold wind at all, it's clearly shadow energy!
Moreover, the energy was so strong that it felt like sticky liquid when it blew on your face!
It was obvious that Dallion also felt it. He immediately drew out the long sword from his waist and stood vigilantly between the entrance of the cave and the carriage.
Holy light flowed down his fingers, and for a moment, his sword seemed to be on fire.
However, the wind was blowing constantly at the other end of the stone crevice, and there was no other movement.
Click--
Another stone rolled down from the crack, and suddenly the crack turned into a dark hole.
"Holy light..." Dallion muttered softly, and suddenly, a dim light floated out of his fingertips. The light floated into the cave entrance like a firefly, illuminating the inside dimly.
"It's empty inside." Dallion said in a low voice.
"That means there is no landslide inside?!" Supriya's stern face finally relaxed. To be honest, when she relaxed, her tough face like a man still had a trace of soft lines, "Also That means they might all still be alive!”
"Oh my God! This is really blessed by the Holy Light!"
"Great! We have to go back and tell Grandma Rose and the others! They must be very anxious waiting!"
"I knew they would be fine! Uncle Oberon is such a good man! God will definitely bless him!"
"Let's work hard and rescue them! Let those men also look at us with admiration!"
The ladies with dusty faces held each other's hands vigorously and smiled broadly.
"No! Don't go there!" Dallion lowered his voice and raised his hand to stop the eager people. "If they are still alive, why is there no movement inside?"
Those words made the people who were in high spirits just now fall silent again.
"Are they...still trapped under the mine?"
"Maybe they fainted in the explosion." Someone said uncertainly.
"If you are scared, just get out of the way! Child!" Supriya's face became serious again, and the last word made Dallion's expression change.
She picked up the small hoe at hand, raised her feet and crossed over to Dallion.
"Drink!" She raised the hoe in her hand high, and in the next second, she hoeed hard on the pile of rocks that was no longer reliable. Suddenly, the small hole collapsed into a big hole with a crash, and the big hole collapsed. The hole spurted out a mouthful of dark mucus like a big mouth, causing Supriya to take five or six steps back.
"Ah!" someone in the crowd exclaimed!
"Oh! I can't see!" Supriya yelled in panic, and the hoe in his hand fell to the ground.
Dallion immediately pulled her back, and the holy light shone in his palm, instantly washing away the dirt on Supriya's face.
"Try, can you open your eyes?!" He asked anxiously.
Supriya took two rapid breaths and slowly opened her eyes.
"Can you see it?" Dallion asked.
She blinked hard, "It seems there's nothing wrong."
Hearing this, Dallion let out a long breath, paused, took off his gloves, and dipped his index finger into the black liquid left on her shoulder, "Is this sludge?"
Supriya also pinched a little, and looked at it carefully under the firelight, "Yes. This is a very common sludge in the mines. These silvery things are mithril ore powder. I heard Uncle Oberon say However, they found an associated mithril mine deep in the mine, and were ready to lead everyone to make a fortune, but..."
"but?"
"However, the mine is several hundred meters long. The sludge that should have been hundreds of meters deep was blown to the entrance of the cave, and it was sprayed out wet? How was this done?"
When listening to those words, Dallion's eyes grew wider and wider, "What else is in the cave?!"
Supriya stiffly shook her head.
Gululu--
At that moment, a sound finally came from the cave, but the sound sounded extremely weird, like boiling water that kept bubbling.
Wow--
The stones at the entrance of the cave began to loosen, as if something was trying to squeeze out.
Gululu--
There is a dark sap like fuel seeping out of the cracks in the stones, and then, the sap is like a film, covering the entire stone!
Immediately, the oil film remembered the harsh scraping and smashing sounds, and he knew the fate of those stones without even thinking about it.
If what is wrapped in that layer of things is a person...
That thought made me swallow hard.
Finally, the dark mass completely shattered the rocks and squeezed out of the mine entrance.
When I saw that thing clearly, I couldn't help but take a breath.
It was an ooze monster, much bigger than the ones that occasionally crawl into my wine cellar!
It is three meters high, and the huge skirt-like chassis is almost as big as a small bedroom. There is a small funny head on its chassis, and in the middle of its head, there are two scarlet lights that look like eyes. Its chassis is like undulating water, constantly making gurgling sounds, which makes it move like it is rolling on waves, but it is not slow at all!
The moment it moved out of the hole, it seemed to have targeted us. It quickly crawled over and a dark purple light appeared on its head.
Even if I know nothing about magic, I know that it is a ball of arcane light that contains huge energy! Once it hits the target, it can blow a living person to pieces!
In an instant, Dallion was covered in thick holy flames. He opened his eyes, turned around and shouted at the ladies who were stunned, "Get out of here! Quick!"
In an instant, the ladies screamed and ran back. Almost at the same moment, the ooze monster suddenly shrank its lower body, and then jumped high into the air!
Oh my God! For the first time, I learned that ooze monsters can fly! Its scarlet eyes looked past Supriya and Darien, staring straight at the crowd who had just ran to the carriage.
Boom--
The arcane points between its eyes pulsed like a heart, and then emitted light like the sun! The light flies towards me!
"No!" Supriya screamed!
In that dazzling place where there seemed to be only light left, I suddenly saw a dark shadow leaping forward! He held the sword tightly in his hand, and his soft hair fluttered and danced in the roar of light!
I felt my heart skip a beat, "Dallion!"
boom--
The strongest light collided with him, making a deafening explosion!
Next, it’s Gangfeng!
The strong wind overturned the carriage and violently threw me out of the opened door!
"Ah!" I flipped several times in the air before falling viciously to the ground, and then rolled to the foot of a big tree. At that moment, I was completely stunned, and I couldn't hear anything except the sharp tinnitus in my ears.
I could only watch the frightened horses raise their front hooves, then drag the overturned car into the deep woods. Until they could no longer be seen, I faintly heard the clanking of the car in the distance.
I endured the pain all over my body and turned my head to look. Where the arcane explosion occurred, there was only a deep, smoking scorched pit. Where was Dallion's figure? !
"...No! Dallion! Dallion!" I held the cold stone tightly, feeling my nose sore and almost crying.
Is he dead? !
Click--
Supriya, who was not far away, moved twice. She turned over suddenly, then picked up the hoe on the ground and stumbled to the edge of the pit.
She looked inside anxiously, and then used all her strength to scrape away the loose soil. Soon, a faint layer of light spread from the pit.
"Cough cough cough!" A violent cough came over, and the sound made my heart almost stop beating.
"...Dallion..."
"Young Master!" Ryder on the other side wanted to pounce, but his legs were shaking and he couldn't stand up at all.
"Get up!" Supriya grabbed the people in the pit and shouted, "Are you waiting to die?!" Before I finished speaking, I saw the place where they were suddenly dark. When I looked up, I saw the slime Strangeness has jumped over their heads at some point!
"Oh!" The man in the pit exclaimed, and then he jumped out like a cheetah and rolled Supriya back several times.
Gululu--
The ooze monster jumped into the air, and its body sank deeply into the pit.
In that short second, they all got up from the ground.
"Run! What show are you watching?!" Supriya yelled at the dumbfounded ladies on one side. That sound made them come back to their senses, scream and run away.
"Ryder! Protect them!" Dallion also yelled.
"...young master..."
"Get out!" Dallion, who had always been gentle, couldn't help but swore. That word stunned Ryder, who had a scorched face. Then, he helped the two women who were injured by the explosion, turned around and ran away.
I didn't look at them. What I looked at was the figure standing next to Supriya.
That's really Dallion!
Although his face was disgraced and his steps were staggering, he was still alive and well!
He shook his head vigorously, and suddenly his misty eyes lit up, just like they had before, "I owe you once, madam." He pressed his temples and said to Supriya.
But the lady with a dusty face just glanced at him, her eyes focused on the slime monster again with vigilance, "It's even!"
Snapped--
The light shield on his body was broken, and I suddenly realized that the light shield must be the kind of magic that can prevent him from any harm!
At that moment, he stared at the ooze monster. Then, he looked past the ooze monster and looked at me. "Messiah?" he shouted loudly.
I lay on the cold ground and tried my best to look up at him like this, "I'm fine." As soon as the words came out, I realized that my voice was hoarse.
"Don't cry, I'll be right over!"
I bit my index finger hard, and the sharp sting instantly dispelled the soreness and depression in my heart, "...I won't cry!"
He smiled, "Messiah, your face is stained." His magical voice rang in his ears.
Oh, at that moment, I really wanted to punch him with my fists.
"Don't be afraid." He slowly bent his knees, and in the next second, he circled the ooze monster and ran towards me like an arrow from the string. But almost at the same moment, I really heard the arrow piercing the air. sound.
Dallion's face froze. He immediately stopped moving forward and turned to the side to avoid. He only heard a few puffs of puffs, and several long "arrows" appeared on his way forward. The tips of the "arrows" were deeply It sank into the gravel ground, and the tail of the arrow was still shaking out afterimages!
I could see clearly, that was what the ooze monster sprayed out!
"It's mechanical parts!" After a moment of silence, Supriya yelled in surprise, "There are also iron pipes for drainage and the fan blades of the engine! It, it ate the water pump?!"
