Chapter 112: Clearing the Monster Minefield, a Back-up Plan Before Entering the Cave [Please Subscribe]

On the other side, the scene of the Monster Cave.

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

The Stone Demon, which was five meters tall, was still a huge monster even if it was thinned by the steel balls.

But it was dragged away with the help of the two sisters, Yulan and Belia.

The two sisters were like human-shaped small trailers, showing strength that was inconsistent with their size.

This is the extraordinary charm, which can turn decay into magic.

The reason for clearing the monster corpses is to ensure that it will not hinder the lethality of the new minefield.

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

Most of them are gray and white, which is worth some money.

In addition, she also took off the two pairs of horns on the top of the Minotaur's head, which is a good second-level material.

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

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

As a special third-level mineral material, the purchase price of the Blacksmith Association has reached 400 crowns per stone.

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

For these spoils, Chen Xuan will choose to collect them as long as they do not take up too much space.

It is not for the crowns, but mainly because it will look weird if the magic core and materials are not taken away.

Normally, after killing the monster, if the situation is urgent, even if the materials are not cut, the magic core will be taken away.

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

If a large number of corpses with magic cores left here, and the cave is destroyed for no reason.

Maybe it will attract the attention of the Adventurer Association.

Chen Xuan has discovered that the natives have their own relatively rigorous monitoring standards for the dynamics of the magic cave.

Any unusual movement may attract attention.

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

Before it "eats its fill", it is better not to leave too abnormal clues.

It is best to make this cave look like it has been swept by an ordinary adventurer team.

You should know that the cave is both a hateful invader and a source of wealth for the natives of Naroa.

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

In the nearly thousand-year history of the struggle against monsters in Naroa, there have been ups and downs of all-out wars, and there have also been stalemates similar to the current period.

Each period will last for decades or even one or two hundred years.

During the total war, the continent was full of smoke, and the number of monsters gathered was dozens of times more than the current one.

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

The concept of the battle line no longer exists, because everywhere has become a frontal battlefield.

During the stalemate period, just like the current one, there is rarely any news about the demon disaster.

Except for those battlefront areas, other places are very dull. Either the adventurer team cleared a cave, or the monster destroyed a farm.

Both sides are in the stage of "small fights".

Any intelligent race will not remember for long. When the tragic years are over, the relatively stable life will paralyze people's nerves.

In the eyes of many people, the cave has become a cash cow.

And it is inexhaustible.

Including many adventurers and mercenaries today, they have similar views.

For them, monsters have been equated with money.

So don't think that Chen Xuan's golden finger can devour the fragments of the Rose Key and permanently erase the cave, but such behavior will inevitably cause an uproar in the eyes of the Naroa natives.

If it is exposed, troubles will follow.

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

No matter what happens, as long as it is related to capital, it will change, especially in the current stalemate period, the natives do not feel too much direct threat.

If someone is found to be able to completely wipe out the cave, such behavior is tantamount to cutting off other people's financial resources.

At that time, Chen Xuan will be spurned and targeted.

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

But he still has to be as careful as possible.

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

After all was sorted out, Chen Xuan laid a minefield again in the right place.

The next thing to do is to continue to "attract monsters" and use the minefield to strangle those monsters first.

But the weird evil parasitism made him alert!

This is also a place that needs to be paid great attention to.

The new round of "attracting monsters" was in charge of Dora Belia. Chen Xuan personally put on a headlamp for her and earnestly instructed her.

"Never get in close contact with monsters!"

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

"Check the magic jewelry again to make sure they can all be activated smoothly."

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

The magic shield will become Belia's first layer of protection.

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

The dead female adventurer was exhausted when she was rescued.

Not only did she lack protection, but she was also pounced on by the goblin.

During this period, the unknown monster called [Eye Demon] in the [Insight] effect has many opportunities to parasitize her.

Therefore, Chen Xuan told Belia to avoid close contact with any monsters as much as possible.

As long as there is enough noise, the monsters in the cave will continue to pour out.

"I understand, master."

"Don't worry!"

The lively Belia blinked at him.

Then he ran into the cave.

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

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

"Boom!"

Chen Xuan and others were ready.

Rebecca and Silan both held two Beretta M9 pistols.

As ambushers, of course, there is no need to rush up and confront head-on.

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

After waiting for less than half a minute, Belia'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 "bold dogs".

Especially when fighting, they seem to be fearless.

They can always perform the tasks he arranges very well.

"Master! Here it comes!"

Chen Xuan's eyes were slightly fixed, and he didn't press the detonator in a hurry.

Belia ran to the big bluestone rock and jumped high, landing beside him.

At this time, a large number of monsters appeared in the shadows of the cave.

The goblin wolf cavalry and the black goblin holding a spear became the vanguard of this wave of monsters.

Behind them were three poisonous armored scorpions, and behind one of the big scorpions sat a goblin shaman with oil paint on his face.

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

As soon as the faster Goblin Wolf Cavalry left the cave entrance, they were attacked by Rebecca and Yulan's pistols. The power of the 9mm ammunition was not too great, but it was still easy to deal with these monsters that were only level one. Every shot could produce a black blood flower.

The shooting greatly reduced the mobility of the Night Shadow Wolves under the crotch of the Goblin Wolf Cavalry.

It made it impossible for them to quickly escape from the coverage of the mine array.

In order to achieve the greatest results in the mine array, it is necessary to 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 decisively pressed the detonators in his hand.

After a short delay in the pulse ignition, continuous explosions sounded.

Chen Xuan, hiding behind the big bluestone, could clearly feel the vibration of the ground.

"Jijia!"

"Ah!"

"Woo Aka!"

The weird screams of the goblins sounded.

Accompanied by the sharp whistling sound of the steel balls flying.

There was also a muffled sound from the collision.

When the noise subsided, most of the monsters had been strangled to death by the mines.

The worst were the goblins, whether they were green or black, their defense was very poor.

The difference was that the black-skinned goblins were stronger.

But under the tearing of the steel balls, they could only become stumps.

Only one or two "lucky" goblins avoided the vital parts, and fell to the ground with missing arms and legs, rolling and wailing.

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

But they could not withstand the saturation attack of the steel balls. After breaking the defense, their solid chitin shells were also deformed, shattered, and burst into green mucus under the impact of a large number of steel balls, and finally died in the "rainstorm" of steel balls.

The strongest one was the goblin shaman.

This guy was wearing a layer of pale yellow witchcraft shield on his body, hiding behind the body of the poisonous armored scorpion.

However, after the explosion, Dora and her sister and the cat girl put down their pistols and rushed over.

Chen Xuan held the M16A1 rifle to support 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 spellcaster sequence among monsters, it is inevitable that they are weak in close combat.

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

Goblins themselves are inferior species, and the shamans among them are naturally not much better.

I saw the rune dagger in the cat girl's hand quickly stabbed the pale 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 with the skillful fighting of Dora and her sister.

The moves of the cat girl Rebecca are much more monotonous.

The magic skills she mastered are only the innate ability of the cat-ear tribe [Cat Quiet Step].

In terms of attack, she can only use the rune dagger with magic attached to it to stab and chop.

In addition, she has also received basic scout training from the Adventurer Association.

During this period, she learned bandaging, pathfinding and spying skills, as well as several common assassination moves.

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

After returning, he can first take out the [Second-level Stealth Technique] for everyone to learn.

After solving this wave of monsters, the three women began to clean up the battlefield as usual, and he also set up a new minefield, preparing to follow suit for a few more rounds.

…

"Boom!"

The faint sound of explosions echoed over the forest.

Although the sound of the broadsword mines is not ranked among the various explosive weapons on Blue Star.

But the sound caused by multiple explosions can still spread to a radius of more than ten miles.

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

When the explosion sounded, Sorel suddenly raised his hand to signal his subordinates to stop moving forward.

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

"What a big noise!"

"It really came from the north!"

It is not difficult to identify the location by listening to the sound at a long distance.

The farther the sound wave is transmitted, the more blurred it is, and the location of the sound source is clearer.

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

"They must be fighting with monsters!"

Sorel Moran confidently stated his speculation.

In the Naroa continent, it is not uncommon to make a loud noise in battle.

Many magic weapons and props can do this.

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

Just when Sorel was in high spirits.

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

"My lord, the enemy's fighting momentum was so amazing."

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

"And do you remember?"

"It was them who killed the 'One-eyed Bull' Henry's team!"

"At that time, there was no trace of fighting on the Steel Fire Dwarf team."

His words quickly cooled Sorel Moran's enthusiasm.

Speaking of which, Philemon Old Shoes is indeed quite capable and is considered a relatively rational guy.

His words made Sorel pat his head.

"I'm really confused!"

"But our team should be able to deal with it!"

The infantry of the garrison is organized into 12 to 18 people per team.

Sorel's team, including himself, has a total of 14 people.

And their team is strong, far exceeding the standard of ordinary garrison teams.

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

There are six people from the early to late bronze level.

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

The rest of the team members are all at the peak of black iron level.

Such a lineup is far stronger than the team of "One-eyed Bull" Henry.

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

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

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

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

Unlike Sorel and others, they directly transform themselves into bandits in their spare time.

When patrolling in the city, they take the opportunity to look for "lambs".

This kind of thing is a taboo within the garrison.

If it is just a small extortion or collecting black money, the garrison commander and Baron Besos will turn a blind eye.

But if it involves murder and robbery, it is a taboo!

This is a serious matter for any state city.

It will affect the credibility of the state city.

Yes, credibility is also useful in the other world.

If the city of Naroa wants to become prosperous, it must have mobile merchants, adventurers and mercenaries.

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

As a military unit of the state city, the garrison is responsible for maintaining order in the city.

In this case, if there is a rumor that the garrison in a certain place is a bandit, then the reputation of the city will definitely be greatly damaged, and the bad reputation will spread quickly, and soon no one will want to come to Magtan City to make a living.

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

In the past, they were always successful in dealing with other "lambs".

Even silver-level strongmen would not provoke the garrison if they had nothing to do, after all, this is the face of the city.

Usually wearing the skin of the garrison, over time he forgot how to write the word "coward".

But the situation is different now. The annihilation of Henry's team is enough to prove that the other party is a ruthless person.

And they can no longer act as a garrison.

This makes the atmosphere dull.

But Sorel did not stop.

After thinking for a long time, he gave an order.

"Don't act rashly after arriving there."

"We can disguise ourselves as a large adventurer team."

"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 careful.

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

The tension in Old Buggy's heart not only did not ease, but became more serious.

His intuition told him that something bad might happen.

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

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

...

In half an hour, Chen Xuan set up three more minefields.

A total of five minefields killed hundreds of goblins and night 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 types they can lure out.

No matter how Dora and her sister provoke them, the guys hiding deeper will no longer react.

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

This allows the sun to shine, illuminating a small area at the entrance of the cave.

The air in the forest is filled with the smell of burning, gunpowder and monsters.

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

"It's about time to go in and see for yourself!"

After cleaning the battlefield for the last time, he ordered the girls.

"Rebecca, Belia, you come in with me!"

"Yulan, 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.

Including the broadsword mines behind the large bluestone they used as a shelter just now.

Yulan pouted, and her relatively calm personality made her say nothing more.

In fact, she still wanted to go into the cave to kill the enemy in person.

But Chen Xuan had his own plans.

He had not forgotten the unknown female bee looking for a partner.

This meant that someone had already set their sights on them.

Although he used [Insight] to check several times afterwards, he still could not completely eliminate the risk.

What if the other party really followed?

Then after he entered the cave, wouldn't he be a big turtle in a jar?

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

At the same time, he arranged a minefield.

If there were really guys with bad intentions, this wave of mines would be enough to make those people drink a pot.

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

If there was a situation in the cave, he could directly take the kitten girl and Belia away with a flash.

But if he took Yucca with him, he would have to run twice!

In summary, Chen Xuan had to leave one person on standby!

...

In order to prevent quantum reading.

The author directly stated: There is a time difference of one and a half hours when Sorel tracks down the protagonist group, but this time must deduct the time the protagonist wastes in clearing monsters in the minefield.
