Chapter 047: Ancient Blood Stone Singer
Everyone was silent, somewhat saddened by the death of a rabbit or a fox.
Gawain didn't want to give up the opportunity to inherit the bronze oath legacy, so he took the opportunity to change the subject: "What do you think of the scorpion that attacked Cavell?"
The half-orc Rhett hesitated to speak.
Troll Susan replied: "I guess I should know what that is."
Seeing everyone looking at him, he explained: "My brother and I used to live in a residential area on the mountainside, and we know something about the elders within the organization. I heard that an elder captured a monster half a year ago. It is said that he has ancient blood, and his name seems to be Called Manstein Stone Scorpion.”
"I can vouch for that."
The half-orc Rhett also stood up and added: "I have seen that scorpion with my own eyes. It is as big as a farm cow. It also has a name called [Stone Singer]. It is said that the adult Stone Singer can compete with the official A wizard can turn people to stone just by making a sound."
Gawain raised his eyebrows: "So it's not yet an adult?"
"Yes, at most equivalent to a senior high wizard apprentice."
After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The unknown was the scariest thing. Now that they knew the details of the culprit in the heart of the mountain, they were sure to get rid of him.
Afterwards, everyone discussed and quickly formulated reasonable tactics.
Dwarf Tok continued to expand the hole.
Vampire Sonny lays a trap.
The troll Miller found a wooden shield, and the half-orc Rhett continuously used the zero-ring witchcraft [Summon Monster] to summon three crypt spiders from the death swamp.
After Tok expanded the hole, Gawain used [Mage's Hand] to remove the stone blocking the hole.
"go!"
Orc Rhett stretched out his hand and pointed, and three cave spiders as big as a basin lined up and crawled towards the entrance of the cave. The first cave spider made a frightening sound of "chichichichi" before it entered the mountain.
Then the shouting stopped abruptly.
The two cave spiders behind them did not dare to step forward at all. They backed away in fear, but were hit by white shadows one after another. They froze in place and gradually turned into stone.
Everyone held their breath and stared at the entrance of the cave. The troll Miller used [Petrified Skin], and his skin began to transform into stone, and he stepped forward with a wooden shield.
"Gululu~~"
"Gululu~~"
Soon, a sound came from inside the cave, and a huge stone ball rolled out from inside, slowly pressing over the dead branches in front of the cave entrance, making a crisp "crackling" sound.
Everyone was stunned and didn't react for a while.
Troll Susan exclaimed: "Quick, it's the Stonesinger!"
Vampire Sony's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly pointed at the dead branch at the entrance of the cave. The dead branch immediately came to life and turned into thorny vines that were wrapped around the stone ball.
But it was a step too late, the stone ball had already rolled past.
The vampire looked frightened, turned around and ran away.
"Miller is here!"
Troll Miller roared and hit the stone ball with his wooden shield. At the same time, he used the [Brute Force Technique]. The stone ball suddenly unfolded and turned into a huge stone scorpion the size of a farm cow. Its long tail was like lightning. Hit the wooden shield.
A dozen hits in an instant.
The wooden shield was overwhelmed and exploded on the spot, and the scorpion tail attacked again, pointing directly at the troll's chest. Troll Miller looked frightened, but he had no time to dodge.
At this moment, the half-orc Rhett whipped out a long whip and accurately wrapped it around the scorpion's tail.
However, the huge force that came was far beyond the Orc's expectation. He was thrown away and hit the rock wall in front of him. He rolled back and let out a painful groan.
Miller took the opportunity to hide aside and avoid the death blow.
"middle!"
Troll Susan scolded, and a laser-like red light shot out from her fingertips. Gawain, who was sitting on the back of the skeleton beast, also shot an ice arrow in response.
But the Stone Singer's scorpion tail was too flexible. It hit the red light first and then easily knocked away the ice arrow.
Troll Susan cheered: "It hit my [weakening ray]."
Gawain cheered up and found that the Stonesinger's attack speed had slowed down a lot. He waved his hand fiercely, and two ice arrows shot out at the same time, whizzing away.
An ice arrow was knocked out by Scorpion Tail again.
Another hit the Stonesinger in the head.
Before everyone could be happy, they saw the sharp ice arrows shattered into ice slag, leaving only a few cracks on the Stone Singer's shell, and everyone suddenly looked horrified.
Gawain's pupils shrank and he immediately shouted:
"Let it go and get out of the way!"
Everyone suddenly woke up. The troll Miller reached out and picked up the half-orc Rhett who was vomiting blood, and hurriedly moved aside. However, the Stonesinger seemed to have spotted Miller and chased after him waving two big claws.
Before he could catch up, an ice arrow was stuck on the stone in front of him.
Block it.
The Stonesinger finally stopped and turned his compound eyes to look at Gawain on the back of the skeleton beast. Gawain was a little nervous and was controlling the last ice arrow, ready to shoot at any time.
But they saw the Stone Singer regrouping into a big stone ball, rolling towards the foot of the mountain with a "rumbling", and disappearing in the thick gray mist in the blink of an eye.
Everyone let out a sigh of relief, feeling like they were surviving a disaster.
Dwarf Tok emerged from the rock crevice where he was hiding and began to complain:
"Sony escaped!"
Troll Miller said angrily: "The damn vampire is both treacherous and cowardly. Everything was originally planned, but the trap he prepared was useless and almost killed us all."
Gawain coughed dryly and changed the subject: "Ignore him, it's more important to seize the time and do business. By the way, how is Rhett's injury? Does it matter?"
Troll Miller's face darkened: "The internal organs seem to have been ruptured, and the injury was serious."
"Cough cough cough~~"
Orc Rhett coughed and walked from the side, forcing a smile and saying: "It's not as serious as Miller said, it's just a minor injury. Besides, I've already drank Miss Susan's healing potion, and it doesn't affect my movements. Cough cough ~~"
Troll Miller turned around and patted Rhett on the shoulder, saying excitedly:
"Good brother, you're fine."
Then he looked pityful: "If you can be as strong as the dead Cavill, I will definitely marry my sister to you. Rhett, my good brother, you are really too thin. Sorry, as the brother, I can't I don’t think about my sister’s future happiness.”
Troll Susan tugged at Miller's sleeve.
Half-orc Rhett looked embarrassed and said perfunctorily: "I'm not worthy of Miss Susan..."
"alright!"
Gawain interrupted the conversation between the two and urged: "We still have business to do."
As he spoke, he jumped off the skeleton beast's back and ordered the skeleton beast to enter the mountainside first. Seeing that there was no danger inside, the five of them followed suit and entered the familiar hall.
It was found that most of the thirteen passages at the back of the hall had collapsed, and some were even completely blocked.
The five of them were half happy and half sad.
Gawain glanced around and found that the only passages that could still be entered were No. 3, No. 4, No. 7, No. 9, and No. 13, a total of five passages.
Half-orc Rhett introduced: "Passage three leads to the laboratory. Inside is the low-level laboratory that apprentices can apply for. The next level is the high-level laboratory used by formal wizards. I heard that there is a third level; fourth level Passage No. 7 is the storage room, which stores various materials; Passage No. 7 is the library, Passage No. 9 is the Whispering Garden, and Passage No. 13 is the monster incubation pool. "
Gawain asked casually: "Where do people in the mountains usually live?"
“No. 1 is the residential area.”
Rhett pointed at the completely sealed passage No. 1 and sighed: "I don't know if anyone can survive."
Gawain wanted to pat Rhett on the shoulder, but found out awkwardly that he was not tall enough. He looked around at everyone: "What are your plans? Are you going to act together or alone?"
Troll Susan spoke first: "I want to enter the Whispering Garden."
"Okay, then let's go our separate ways."
Gawain followed suit and warned, "Everyone should be careful."
