Most of the kobolds and goblins who live underground all year round have night vision. But Lu Yuan didn't have elf blood, so of course he couldn't see at night. The second-level spell "Dark Vision" can provide night vision, but it is not worth wasting a second-level spell slot. Lu Yuan chose to cast the zero-level spell "Dancing Lights" to illuminate. The zero-level spell consumes almost negligible mental energy, but it can create four light sources 150 feet away and direct the movement to 1,000 feet before disappearing. It is really the best choice for pathfinding lighting.

Beside a small bridge spanning a crack in the earth, in the darkness, several kobolds squatted there quietly, only occasionally making a barking sound. "Woo~woof~" One of the kobolds stood up and picked up his bow and arrow. As it screamed, each kobold stood up and drew their bows and arrows. With their raised ears, they could already hear the sound of trampling coming from the distant corridor. This sound is refracted by the stone walls of the mine tunnel and can travel a very long distance.

Several kobolds opened their bows and aimed at the aisle in front. Not long after, four jumping and rotating balls of light came out from the corner. "Woo~?" No trace of anyone was found. One of the kobolds shouted in confusion, but then four light balls accelerated violently and flew towards this side. Several kobolds shot the arrows in their hands towards the light ball without thinking. The arrows only passed through the light ball and hit the opposite aisle without any damage.

"Woof woof!" It seemed that the leading kobold roared twice. The four kobolds stopped shooting arrows and watched the light ball flying towards this side. The leading kobold sniffed fiercely. It smelled a human scent, but couldn't pinpoint its location. Just as it turned around and searched around, there were two "clicks" and "pops", and the tips of the "Impaler" sword and the "Glass Staff" stretched out from above, piercing the necks of the leader and another kobold, and blood flowed out. Instantly the remaining kobolds went berserk. They dropped the bows and arrows in their hands and rushed over on all fours, trying to bite them with their teeth.

Unfortunately, for Shaolin Lu Yuan, it is nonsense that he will be bitten by a dog. The first person who is best at beating dogs in the world is the beggar, and the second best person is the dervish who goes to the door to ask for alms. Lu Yuan is the direct descendant of the dervish monk. Waving the staff in his hand. With a crackle, the necks of the remaining three dogs were broken.

"Woof ~ woof ~ woof ~ " " woof ~ woof ~ woof ~ " " woof ~ woof ~ woof ~ ".

It seems that I heard the noise here, the kobolds barking one after another in the distance, and a large number of kobolds rushed here. Lu Yuan's backup plan was to retreat to Chanem's stronghold and wait for reinforcements. However, he observed the nearby terrain. Quickly put away the bows and arrows used by the kobolds on the ground. Withdrew back. These bows and arrows are military supplies. The Iron Throne is really willing to spend money to give such good weapons to the kobolds.

When dozens of kobolds rushed to the bridge, they were first attracted by a few light balls still flying on the corpses. Then he sniffed around and walked towards the bridge. At this moment, a small piece of grease was thrown out of the darkness, landed on the bridge, and in an instant turned into a large area of ​​greasy ground. Stepping on the greased stone bridge floor, I couldn't control myself at all. Some kobolds slipped and fell, while others dropped their bows and arrows and fell to all fours, clawing at the ground. Lu Yuan took out a short red staff from his sleeve, read the activation words, and an orange-red fireball flew towards the kobolds in a mess on the bridge, exploding among the dogs.

The fireball staff opens here.

The grease burned violently with the flames, and the flames exploded from the fireball spell. Some of the kobolds were thrown off the bridge and fell into the abyss howling. Most of the rest were screaming in the flames. Not one or two out of ten escaped the flames.

"What's the sound?" When the explosion sound came from below, Jahira, who had keen intuition, was the first to notice the vibration of the ground.

"It's okay, A Yuan is casting a spell," Muxing explained, and the three of them sat helplessly against the wall, waiting for the results. The three of them only went up to the upper floor, and after reaching a crowded place, they were fine... The explosions kept coming. Although they were separated by two floors, the continuous explosions accumulated, and even Khalid had already felt it.

Chanem, who was guarding the stronghold on the lower level, looked nervously at the dark passage in the distance, alert for enemies that might rush out at any time.

I don’t know how long it took, but all the sounds below suddenly stopped and became silent.

"Should we take a look?" Aimeng asked nervously, leaning on Chanem's shoulder.

"Wait a moment," Chanem patted Aimon's back and comforted her. Then he said, "You are here, let me check forward a little."

He cast the "Shield Technique" and then walked out of the bunker in a faint blue light package.

"Too reckless," a female voice came from behind, scolding mercilessly.

"Jahira", "Jahira", both Chanem and Aimeng shouted in surprise. The two rookies were stuck in a stronghold alone and confused in the dark mine tunnel. During this period, Chanem was probably the only one who was worried and frightened. I know it in my heart. Because he still had to constantly comfort Aimeng and cheer her up. But who will comfort my sorrow? Looking at Jahira and Khalid's tightly held hands, he felt even more sad.

"But it is commendable to be brave enough not to give up on your companions." This is Evening Star. No matter what, righteous behavior needs to be affirmed. "Let's go, Ayuan's side has been settled. Let's go there together."

Hearing Mu Xing praise him, Chanem's eyes lit up, and he walked towards Mu Xing, but he turned around in Jaheira's half-smiling eyes.

In order to prevent the elves from causing problems again, the five people traveled as fast as possible.

"Jump over the stones". When they were about to cross the bridge with a crack in the ground, there were two words written on the side of the wall. Several people jumped over the stones placed on the bridge one after another. Under those stones weighing more than ten kilograms, some were pressed with steel wires painted black, and some were steel clips clamped to the stones. They were all broken traps. On the other half of the bridge, burnt kobold corpses were lying everywhere, and the air was filled with a weird smell of barbecue.

"Ugh~" Even Imoen, who had seen a lot of corpses and blood, might have thought of the barbecue he had eaten in the past two days when he smelled this smell. Vomited immediately. Her foot caught on the last stone and she screamed "Ah!" and fell forward. At this time, the friction of the stone seemed to drive the steel wire below, making a clicking sound and the sound of several crossbow arrows being fired.

"Imoen!", she heard Chanem shouting her name loudly, and she really wanted to... hear it a few more times.

Aimeng, who was falling, closed his eyes and stretched out his hands forward, but tears still burst into tears for a moment.

Although I didn’t know what the little girl was thinking, she didn’t feel the pain of being hit by an arrow in her body. All I heard was "bang bang". Then he fell heavily on the bridge. After she opened her eyes, she saw Khalid's not-so-burly figure, holding a shield with both hands to cover her side.

"Ka, Khalid! He. He is injured. Help him!" Seeing the blood dripping. Imoen shouted in panic. The crossbow arrows fired by the heavy machine crossbow were very powerful. Each crossbow arrow penetrated his iron-wrapped shield and penetrated about the length of two arrowheads. Khalid had to support his shield, and his right hand was completely penetrated by a crossbow arrow. The arrow penetrated from his wrist, and he was severely injured.

But even so, he still covered Aimeng behind him without moving.

"Get out of the way!" Mu Xing jumped over. While his body was still in the air, two white lights suddenly flashed out. Everyone only heard two "clicks" and the swords were returned to their sheaths. Then there was the sound of a shield falling onto the bridge. The arrow that passed through Khalid's palm had been broken into three sections, and the tail of the arrow had been cut off, leaving only a section of the arrow shaft that penetrated the palm of his hand diagonally. During the whole process, the two swords cleverly offset each other's strength, without even pulling the slightest bit on Khalid's wound.

"Hold it," she immediately took out the arrow shaft, cast a spell, bandaged it, and finished treating Khalid's hand. Over there, Chanem had already helped Imoen and comforted her.

"Jahira, I leave Khalid to you, let's move forward quickly." Evening Star took over the command.

In the world of Faerûn, it still takes time for healing spells and potions to take effect. There is no way to provide immediate treatment like in the game. A bottle of amputated limbs is effective, and it is still a blue bottle. When Gillian was seriously injured in the abdomen, he had to recuperate with Elminster for half a year. An injury like Khalid's may take two weeks to recover. The "tanks" in the team lost their combat effectiveness, and Duixing, who mainly fought in close combat, could only stand in front.

Fortunately, the rest of the journey went smoothly, and there were no major problems in the few traps. After all, it's just a mine, not an underground maze, and the traps are easy to spot. There is no way to set up large traps like flaps and rolling stones here, it's just a matter of hanging a few crossbows on a steel wire. What's more clever is to divide the shooting into several rounds so that you can't clear it all in one go.

When we reached the lowest level, the surrounding area was empty, and there was a huge cave eroded by the crisscrossing underground river water. Most of the cave was still submerged by the underground river water, and a dark world stretched behind it. A stone beam leading to the opposite cliff became the only road now. Lu Yuan was standing on the side of the stone beam, hiding around the corner.

"How's it going? A Yuan." Although Mu Xing was just standing beside him casually, his body had blocked almost all the routes to attack Lu Yuan. What he said was to inquire about the situation. With his sharp eyesight, he checked Lu Yuan's whole body. He breathed a sigh of relief after finding no wounds.

"On the opposite side, go down through the stone beam. You can see a hill and a cave carved out of it. That's the target. There are some ambushes on the other side of the stone beam. We need to attack by force. Everyone, prepare your bows and arrows...", After everyone took out their crossbows and loaded them, Lu Yuan also took out the fireball staff and said, "One, two, three... let go!"

Lu Yuan waved his staff, and an orange-red fireball flew over the stone beam and hit the side of the cliff. Following the explosion, a huge wave of air encircled the flames and refracted to the invisible side. Sure enough, after a while, the monsters that were ambushed on the other side but were bombed - a large number of kobolds, goblins, and even skeleton soldiers came out.

Lu Yuan used the "Spider Web Technique", Chanem used the "Greasy Technique", and Mu Xing used the "Entangle Technique". They fell over and were entangled in spider webs and caught by the vines. The monsters were entangled and crowded at the intersection, in a mess. crowded together. As Lu Yuan waved the small red stick, fireballs exploded among the monsters one by one. Fireball is indeed the first tactical spell that the mage obtains. Reloading such a fireball staff requires not only a fifth-level mage or above, but also the consumption of several spell slots every day for two weeks. Only consuming less than 2,000 gold coins in materials, you can exchange for 40+ fireballs as backup, which is really convenient! Although the fireball spell cast by the staff has only the lowest level of five, its lethality is slightly insufficient, and it is suitable for torture.

After three or five fireballs went down, the entrance to the cave was almost cleared, and the remaining ones were shot to death one by one. The road ahead is finally open.

Duixing held two swords and passed the stone beam in the lead. She casually stabbed to death a few kobolds that were still struggling at her feet, and seemed to be walking forward without any defense. As she walked around the corner. The two swords stabbed behind him from under the ribs without any warning. With the sound of the hissing blades cutting the air, blood splattered everywhere, revealing a huge half-ogre male with a height of two meters. He fell out of the shadows in embarrassment.

"I surrender! I surrender!" the man of the half-ogre race shouted. He threw down the big shield and mace in his hand. He hurriedly pressed the wound on his throat. Evening Star's four swords were extremely fast and extremely cruel, causing deep wounds on his shoulders, forehead, abdomen and throat. "I am Mulla, a servant of Cyric, the King of Lies. The person in charge of this place. I will tell you everything I know, and heal me quickly!"

"It'll be ready soon," Lu Yuan said as he walked over, raised his hand and thrust the staff into his big mouth that looked like an ogre's, directly through the back of his head.

"Don't kill him!" "Wait a moment." "Stop." Several dissuasive voices slowed down a step, and Mu La made a gurgling sound, looked at Lu Yuan with anger and confusion, and took his last breath. With a "ding" sound, he released the palm covering his neck, and a Cyric holy symbol fell out from between his fingers. The Holy Emblem rolled down the stone beam, jingled a few times, and stopped in front of Chanem. The front light flashed, and a spell had been activated for most of it. Although Mulla, who was guiding the magic, was dead, the incomplete magic that was about to be launched was still inspired by Cyric's instigation and flew towards the nearest Chanem.

After all, he is a child who has only been away from his adoptive father for less than a week. Chanem was surprised to see the red magical light ball that broke away from the holy symbol at his feet and rushed towards him. His whole body went stiff for a moment and his mind went blank. At this time, a slender but powerful hand pushed him away violently, and his body was directly blocked between him and the red ball of light. The magical light ball hit Jahira who pushed Chanem away without stopping. On the body.

There was no explosion, fragmentation, aging or burning, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Duixing quickly stepped forward and quickly collected the cane in Jaheira's hand, the sling on her waist, a wooden hammer, a knife and fifteen throwing knives on her back. As soon as she finished doing this, Jaheira, who had been standing stiffly, turned her eyes and slowly looked at the people around her.

Duixing ducked back to where she was, and then explained to everyone who was looking at her, "It's the 'chaos technique' in the field of Cyric's trickery. The person hit will not be able to distinguish between illusion and reality, and may regard us as enemies." Attack. It’s just that the spell itself is not complete, so I need to observe it to find a solution."

"Ah~" Jahira, who was originally stiff, made a sighing sound at this time. She stretched her body as if she had just woken up, combed her long hair naturally, and then walked towards Cha who was pushed down by her as usual. Nem.

"Are you okay?" Chanem said in surprise as Jahira pulled him up naturally, as if everything was normal. But why is everyone hiding so far away?

"You're so cute." Jaheira smiled and grabbed Chanem's collar, pulling him down in front of her. Her big almond-shaped eyes looked at Chanem's face with interest, and she licked him with her tongue. Said with bright red lips. Chanem's face suddenly turned red. His eyes avoided Jahira's sight, and he swallowed a large mouthful of saliva. His whole body was stiff and he let Jahira drag his neck and collar, as if he was the one who was under a spell. one.

"Oh, Jia...Jahira." Khalid covered his eyes and said helplessly, "Quickly...help...help her...unlock the spell. That's not...no..."

"Nothing?! Say it quickly!" Seeing Chanem being molested by the royal sister, Imon, who was almost crying with anxiety, grabbed Khalid's clothes and urged him.

"Not... the... current... Jaheira."

Could it be Jaheira from before? There is an inside story. Lu Yuan and Mu Xing exchanged glances, and Mu Xing waved his hand to dismiss the spell. Since there was no danger, why not watch for a while?

"You, you say I'm cute? Jahira, this...I..." Chanem boy stammered, as if Khalid's stuttering would be contagious, or...people who are molested by Jahira will change. Have to stutter?

"Well, it's very cute. It really looks like the bear cub I raised!" Jahira laughed and grabbed Chanem's cheek with both hands, pulling and playing with it. Everyone who saw it couldn't laugh or cry. "Come on, Zaizai dance for sister, come on!" Jaheira coquettishly said in a soft voice.

"But, I'm not. Listen, Jaheira, I'm Chanem! I'm Gillian's adopted son." Chanem argued in a panic, less than ten centimeters away from Jaheira's eyes. The chaos was overwhelming.

"You're Xiong Zaizai!" Jaheira said viciously as she was suddenly pulled closer. Looking at the beautiful eyes and fierce expression so close...

"I am! I'm Xiong Zaizai, and I'm a great dancer." Chanem gave in, and everyone covered their faces.

"Besides, it's not fun. It's not as domineering as Xiong Zaizai at all." Chanem was tossed aside by Jahila, like a broken toy. Chanem squatted there depressed, "I'm not Xiong Zaizai, I'm not domineering..."

"Okay, so awesome!" Imoen saw Jaheira domineeringly destroy her brother and then throw her away. She couldn't help but open her mouth in shock and said in envy.

"Calm down your mind!" Following the command spell, a ray of white light fell on Jahira's body. Jahira's body slowly fell limp in Duixing's arms and fell into a deep sleep. "Okay, it's very mild. She'll be fine when she wakes up." She handed Jahira to Khalid who was waiting beside her. "And your hand needs to be bandaged again."

Perhaps because of being too nervous, the wound on Khalid's right hand opened again, and blood seeped through the layers of gauze.

"To be honest, you and your wife have done enough for those children. If it weren't for you, it might be difficult for them to leave here alive." Lu Yuan walked to Khalid and helped Mu Xing, unable to bear it. He still commented, "His own growth is the most critical. The enemies he encounters will become more and more powerful. How many lives can you fight for? Whether it is the entrustment of Gillian or the order of some people, it will not matter. It’s worth it.”

Seeing Khalid's silent look, Lu Yuan shook his head and finally added, "Just today, you almost lost each other!" Khalid shook violently, and Lu Yuan then hit hard again and said, "Twice! "

He pulled Evening Star away and called Chanem and Imoen to clean up the remaining soldiers in the enemy's cave and collect loot. The injured Khalid was left to accompany the sleeping Jahira. When they left, Khalid's body began to tremble violently. He hugged Jahira tightly and kept calling her name in a low voice.

"Ka, Khalid," Jaheira said vaguely as if she had been awakened. She reached out and hugged him back, and the two hugged him tightly.
