Chapter 112: Clearing the Monster Mine Array, Back-up Steps Before Entering the Cave [Please subscribe]

On the other side, the scene of the monster crypt.

The bodies of the Minotaur and the Headless Stone Demon outside the cave entrance were all dragged aside.

The five-meter-high stone demon is still a giant even if it is thinned by steel balls.

But with the joint efforts of the two sisters Yucca and Beria, they were still dragged away.

The two sisters are like little human-shaped trailers, showing strength that doesn't match their stature.

This is extraordinary charm, it can turn decay into magic.

The reason why the monster corpses need to be cleared away is to ensure that the lethality of the new mine array will not be hindered.

The kitten girl Rebecca brought back a small pack of magic cores.

Most of them are gray and white, which are worth a lot of money.

In addition, she also removed the two pairs of horns on the head of the Minotaur, which is a good second-level material.

It can be polished into precious drinking vessels, or engraved with runes to make a magic horn.

There is also an apple-sized magic stone within the body of the stone demon.

As a special third-level mineral material, the Blacksmith Association's purchase price reached 400 crowns per piece.

As long as it is integrated into certain casting materials, its magical conductivity can be additionally increased.

As for these trophies, Chen Xuan would choose to put them away as long as they did not occupy too much space.

Not because of the crown, but mainly because it would look weird if the magic core and materials were not taken away.

Normally, after killing a monster, if the situation is urgent, even if the material is not harvested, the magic core will be taken away.

Because the magic core is easy to obtain and almost equivalent to currency.

If there were a large number of corpses left here that had not taken away the magic core, and the cave was destroyed for no reason.

Maybe it will attract the attention of the Adventurers Association.

Chen Xuan has discovered that the aborigines have a relatively strict set of monitoring standards for the dynamics of the Demon Cave.

Any unusual movement is likely to attract attention.

After all, his golden fingers can "eat" the cave.

Before it is "full", it is better not to leave too many abnormal clues as much as possible.

It's best to make this burrow look like it was swept by an ordinary party of adventurers.

You must know that the burrows are not only hateful invaders but also a source of wealth for the Naloa natives.

This is a relationship and statement that sounds slightly contradictory, but it is the most true situation.

In the nearly thousand-year history of resistance against monsters in Naroa, there have been ups and downs of all-out wars and periods of stalemate similar to the current one.

Each period lasts for decades or even a century or two.

During the period of total war, the continent was filled with smoke, and the number of monsters gathered was dozens of times greater than at present.

Giant cities were destroyed everywhere, and tens of billions of people became sacrifices to monsters.

The concept of battle lines ceased to exist, as everywhere became frontal battlefields.

During the stalemate period, just like now, there was little news about the demonic disaster.

Except for those battle line areas, other places were very dull. Either the adventurer team cleared out a cave, or the monsters destroyed a farm.

The two sides are in the stage of "little fight".

Any intelligent race has a short memory. When the tragic years pass, a relatively stable life will paralyze people's nerves.

In the eyes of many people, the catacombs have become a cash cow.

And it is inexhaustible.

Many adventurers and mercenaries today also have similar views.

For them, monsters are equated with money.

So although Chen Xuan's golden finger can swallow the Rose Key fragments and permanently erase the cave, such behavior will definitely cause an uproar in the eyes of the Naroa natives.

If exposed, trouble will ensue.

Even the magic tears in his hand gained great value because of the invasion of monsters.

No matter what happens, as long as it has something to do with capital, it will change. Especially in this period of stalemate, the aborigines still don't feel a very intuitive sense of threat.

If someone is found to be able to completely erase the crypt, such behavior is tantamount to cutting off other people's financial opportunities.

By then, Chen Xuan will be spurned and targeted.

Fortunately, judging from the current situation, the monitoring mechanism of the Adventurers Association is still relatively traditional.

But he still had to be careful.

Detailed work such as cutting out magic cores is no longer done to earn crowns.

After everything was tidied up, Chen Xuan once again deployed the mine array at the appropriate location.

The next thing to do is to continue to "lead monsters" and use the mine formation to strangle those monsters first.

But the strange evil parasitism made him wary!

This is also an area that requires great attention.

Dora Beria was responsible for the new round of "attracting monsters". Chen Xuan personally put on a headlamp for her and gave serious instructions.

"Never come into close contact with monsters!"

"When you see them, you throw this thing out."

"Check the magic jewelry again to make sure they all activate smoothly."

Chen Xuan pointed to the MK2A3 egg-shaped grenade in her hand.

The magic shield will become Beria's first level of protection.

No matter what kind of parasite it is, it must come into contact with the host body.

When the dead female adventurer was rescued, all her magic energy was exhausted.

Not only did his body lack protection, but he had also been knocked down by goblins.

During this period, the unknown monster called [Beholder] under the [Insight] effect had many opportunities to parasitize her.

Therefore, Chen Xuan asked Beria to try to avoid close contact with any monsters.

As long as there is enough movement, the monsters in the cave will still come out one after another.

"I understand, Master."

"Do not worry!"

Beria, who had a lively personality, winked at him.

Then he ran into the cave.

The light of the headlamp flickered on and off several times in the dark cave, and finally disappeared.

After about forty or fifty seconds, a "rumbling" roar came from the cave.

"Boom!"

Chen Xuan and others were ready.

Both Rebecca and Yucca were armed with two Beretta M9 pistols.

As an ambusher, of course there is no need to foolishly rush forward to confront someone head-on.

It is best to use long-range weapons to consume a wave first!

After waiting for less than half a minute, Beria's figure appeared at the entrance of the cave.

Chen Xuan's super vision allowed him to see the excited expression on her face.

Speaking of which, the two sisters Dora are really "daring dogs".

Especially when fighting, it seems that he is not afraid of the sky or the earth.

He can always perform the tasks assigned by him well.

"Master! Here we come!"

Chen Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly and he did not press the detonator in a hurry.

Beria ran to the large bluestone rock mass, jumped up high, and landed next to him.

At this time, a large number of running figures of monsters also appeared in the shadows inside the cave.

Goblin wolf cavalry and black-skinned goblins armed with spears became the vanguard of this wave of monsters.

Behind them are three poisonous armored scorpions, and behind one of the large scorpions sits a Goblin Shaman with oil paint on his face.

This guy is holding a totem and is constructing a mysterious witchcraft.

The faster Goblin Wolf Cavalry were attacked by Rebecca and Yucca's pistols as soon as they left the cave entrance. The 9mm ammunition was not too powerful, but it was still easy to deal with these first-level monsters. Yes, every shot can burst out a flower of black blood.

The shooting greatly reduced the movement ability of the Night Shadow Wolf under the crotch of the Goblin Wolf Cavalry.

This makes it impossible for them to quickly escape the coverage of the mine array.

If the mine formation wants to achieve maximum results, it must ensure that all monsters leave the cave.

When the three poisonous armored scorpions walked out of the cave, the poisonous snake witchcraft constructed by the Goblin Shaman was about to take shape.

Chen Xuan then decisively pressed the detonators in his hands.

After a brief delay in pulse ignition, a series of explosions sounded.

Chen Xuan, who was hiding behind the big bluestone, could clearly feel the shaking of the ground.

"Ji Ga!"

"ah!"

"Wuaka!"

A strange goblin scream sounded.

Accompanied by the sharp sound of steel balls flying.

There was also the muffled sound of the impact.

By the time the commotion subsided, most of the monsters had been strangled by the mines.

The worst thing is the goblins, whether they are green-skinned or black-skinned, their defense is very poor.

The difference is that the black leather goblin is stronger.

But being torn apart by the steel balls, the only fate was to become mutilated limbs.

Only a few "lucky" goblins escaped the vital point and fell to the ground writhing and wailing with missing arms and legs.

Those poisonous armored scorpions are not much better, although the second-level monsters can use chaotic magic to protect their bodies.

But they couldn't withstand the saturation attack of steel balls. After breaking through the defense, their strong chitin carapace also deformed and shattered under the impact of a large number of steel balls, green slime burst out, and finally died in the "heavy rain" of steel balls.

The strongest one was the Goblin Shaman.

This guy had a light yellow witchcraft shield on his body, hiding behind the poisonous armored scorpion's body.

But after the explosion, the two Dora sisters and Kitten Girl put down their pistols and rushed over.

Chen Xuan held the M16A1 rifle to hold the battle for them.

Those goblins who were lucky enough to survive were turned into pieces under the swords of the two sisters.

Rebecca dealt with the Goblin Shaman.

As a caster among monsters, it is inevitable to be unable to fight in close combat.

Of course, high-level monsters like succubus that can both cast spells and fight in close combat are another matter.

Goblins themselves are an inferior species, and the shaman among them is naturally not much better.

I saw the rune dagger in Kitten Girl's hand quickly stabbing the light yellow shield.

It didn't take much effort to break it.

The next moment, the dagger was inserted into the heart of the Goblin Shaman.

Compared to the skillful fighting of the two Dora sisters.

Kitten Girl Rebecca's moves are much more monotonous.

The only magical skill she has mastered is the innate ability of the Cat Ears clan [Civet Quiet Step].

In terms of attack, he can simply stab and slash with a rune dagger attached to magic elements.

In addition, she received basic scout training from the Adventurers Association.

During this period, he learned the techniques of bandaging, pathfinding and peeping, as well as several common assassination moves.

Chen Xuan was going to find a way to collect some magic skills suitable for the scouts to learn.

After going back, you can take out the [Second Level Stealth Technique] for everyone to learn.

After dealing with this wave of monsters, the three women began to clean the battlefield as usual, and he also set up a new mine array, preparing to follow the same pattern for a few more rounds.

…

"Boom!"

The faint sound of explosions echoed over the forest.

Although the movement of broadsword mines is not high among Blue Star's various explosive weapons.

However, the noise caused by multiple consecutive explosions can still spread to a radius of more than ten miles.

Coincidentally, within this range, a group of people were persistently tracking the traces of Chen Xuan and others.

When the explosion occurred, Sorel suddenly raised his hand to signal his men to stop advancing.

Old Baji shrank back. Before the answer was revealed, this guy was still feeling uneasy.

"What a big noise!"

"It really came from the north!"

It is not difficult to identify the location of sounds from a distance.

The farther the sound wave travels, the blurrier it becomes, and the location of the sound source becomes clearer.

"It seems that the 'big fat sheep' is indeed in the north!"

"They must be fighting monsters!"

Sorel Moran expressed his conjecture quite confidently.

In the Naroa continent, it is not uncommon to make loud noises during battles.

Many magic weapons and items can do this.

So he doesn't need to have any idea about firearms to understand the current situation.

Just when Sorel was in high spirits.

His "consigliere", Philemon Old Shoes, had a completely different view.

"Sir, the opponent's momentum during the battle is so amazing."

"I'm afraid it's not that easy to deal with!"

"And you remember?"

"They were the ones who killed the 'One-Eyed Cow' Henry's team!"

"At that time, the Steel Fire Dwarf team had no traces of battle at all."

His words quickly cooled Sorel Moran's enthusiasm.

Speaking of which, Philemon Old Shoes does have a few brushes, and he is considered a relatively sensible guy.

His words made Sorel couldn't help but pat his head.

"I'm so dizzy!"

"But our team should be able to handle it!"

The infantry organization of the garrison is 12 to 18 people per squad.

Sorel's team consisted of 14 people, including himself.

Moreover, their squad was strong, far exceeding the standards of ordinary garrison squads.

Among them, there are two people whose magic power has reached the peak of bronze level, namely himself and the vice-captain.

There are six people in the early to late bronze levels.

There is also a second-level spellcaster who was recruited into the team by him.

The remaining team members are all at the peak of the Black Iron level.

The strength of this lineup has far exceeded that of "One-Eyed Bull" Henry's team.

The most important thing is that their team has a lot of gray income.

The equipment is quite sophisticated and there are many magic props of all kinds!

Although the garrison in the city basically has gray income, other teams are different from them.

Most of them use the authority of the garrison to collect certain benefits.

Unlike Sorel and the others, they turned into gangsters in their free time.

During normal patrols in the city, they even take the opportunity to look for "lambs".

This kind of thing is considered taboo within the garrison.

If it was just a small extortion or collecting black money, the garrison commander and Baron Bezos would turn a blind eye.

But if it involves killing people and selling goods, that is a taboo!

This is a serious matter for any city.

It will affect the credibility of the state.

Yes, credibility works just as well in other worlds.

If the city of Naroa wants to prosper, it is indispensable for itinerant traders, adventurers and mercenaries.

Their various activities can contribute a lot of tax revenue to the city.

As an autonomous military unit of the city, the garrison is responsible for maintaining order in the city.

Under such circumstances, if there is a rumor that the garrison in a certain place is a gangster, the city's reputation will definitely be damaged, the bad reputation will spread quickly, and soon no one will be willing to come to Magatan City to make a living.

After his mind cooled down a bit, Sorel's expression became complicated.

In the past, they were invincible against other "lambs".

Even if there is nothing wrong with a silver-level expert, he will not provoke the garrison. After all, this is the face of the city.

He usually wore the skin of a garrison, but over time he forgot how to write the word "coward".

But the situation is different now. The destruction of "One-Eyed Bull" Henry's team is enough to prove that the opponent is a ruthless person.

And they could no longer act as a garrison.

This made the atmosphere dull.

But Sorel didn't stop.

After thinking for a long time, he gave instructions.

“Don’t act rashly once you get there.”

"We can disguise ourselves as a larger team of adventurers."

"Judging from the movement, the other party has obviously not entered the cave yet."

"Don't go too fast! It's best to find an opportunity to ambush outside the cave!"

After putting away his contempt, this guy became much more cautious.

Just now he couldn't wait to urge everyone to speed up, but now he asked everyone not to go too fast.

Not only did the tension in Lao Baji's heart not ease, but it became more serious.

His instinct told him that something bad might happen.

Fortunately, Sorel and others no longer pay attention to him.

So Old Buggy quietly came to the back of the team.

…

Within half an hour, Chen Xuan deployed three more rounds of mine arrays.

A total of five rounds of mine formations killed hundreds of goblins and night shadow wolves, a dozen poisonous armored scorpions, nine minotaurs, and four headless stone demons.

The types of monsters in this cave are relatively monotonous.

At least these are the only varieties they can draw out.

No matter how provoked the two Dora sisters were, the guy hiding deeper would no longer react.

Various explosions have cut the entrance of the cave into a concave shape.

This allowed sunlight to shine through, illuminating a small area at the entrance to the cave.

The air in the forest was filled with the stench of burnt smoke, gunpowder smoke, and monsters.

Chen Xuan clapped his hands and decided to officially enter the cave.

“It’s time to go in and see for yourself!”

After cleaning the battlefield for the last time, he gave instructions to the girls.

"Rebecca, Beria, come in with me!"

"Yucca, you stay outside with the detonator and find a hidden place to wait!"

At the same time, several more scattered minefields were arranged around the cave.

Broadsword mines were also placed behind the big bluestone that they had just used as a bunker.

Yuclan pouted, but her relatively calm personality prevented her from saying much.

In fact, she still wanted to enter the cave to kill the enemy herself.

But Chen Xuan had his own plans.

He had not forgotten the companion-seeking female bee of unknown origin.

This means someone has been targeting them.

Although he subsequently used [Insight] to check several times, he still could not completely rule out the risk.

What if the other party really follows up?

Then after he entered the cave, wouldn't he become a giant turtle in a urn?

So just in case, Chen Xuan had to leave a reliable person dormant outside.

At the same time, lay out minefields.

If there are really people with bad intentions, this wave of mines is enough to make them drink a pot.

In addition, his [Flash from the Same Domain] can only take two people away at the same time.

If there was a situation in the cave, he could just flash away with Kitten Girl and Belial.

But if he brought Yucca with him, he would have to make two trips!

To sum up, Chen Xuan must leave one person on standby!

…

To prevent quantum reading situations.

The author directly stated: There is a time difference of one and a half hours in Sorel's tracking of the protagonist group, but this time must be deducted from the time spent by the protagonist in clearing monsters in the mine array.
