Act 54 The King of the Underground (5)

Not long after the two entered the fourth floor, Brando suddenly heard Akane whisper: "Lord."

"how?"

"Let me go down and try." The girl's voice was almost inaudible.

Brando looked down and found that the physique of the God Envoy was indeed well-deserved. Although he had lost his strength, his body's recovery ability was still much stronger than that of ordinary people. Brando saw that the wound on Qian's thigh had stopped bleeding and formed a scab.

He hesitated and asked, "Is it okay?"

But with the girl's insistence, Brando finally helped her down - Akane frowned slightly when her feet landed on the ground, but after shaking for a while, she stood firmly, and although she was a little slow, she relied on With the support of the Thunder Spear, she could barely walk alone.

After discovering this, Qian seemed a little happy. She raised her head happily and smiled at Brando, "Lord——!" Brando had rarely seen Qian's heartfelt smile like this in the past, and couldn't help but smile slightly. Startled.

But the latter quickly realized his gaffe and looked away.

Brando thought that this red-haired girl actually looked pretty when she smiled, but of course he wouldn't be able to say this even if he was killed. The two of them walked through the low tunnel in silence. Not long after they walked, Brando suddenly saw a white thing in the darkness ahead, and he said softly.

"What's wrong?" Qian asked from behind.

"There seems to be something." Brando explained in a low voice. He knew that Qian's eyesight was no different from that of an ordinary person. It was difficult to see far away in this environment. Although there was an illuminating crystal, the light was too much. Oops.

He pulled out his sword with one hand, walked slowly over with the girl, and finally saw clearly that there was a person lying on the ground. It seemed that he was a miner here. He looked at the other person carefully and found no obvious wounds on his body.

"Not dead yet." Akane looked at this person and immediately judged.

Brando also saw the other person's chest rising and falling slightly, as if he was just unconscious. He nodded and tried to shout but didn't wake up, so he pulled out the plug on the water bag and poured some water on the other person's forehead.

Considering that they didn't know how long they would be trapped underground, and the fresh water they carried with them was limited, Brando subconsciously relaxed his movements.

Fortunately, his method worked quickly. The miner didn't seem to be injured, and he quickly woke up in the blink of an eye.

But as soon as the other party opened his eyes, he saw the two of them subconsciously shrinking back and hitting the cold rock wall. Brando saw that he looked uneasy and said hurriedly: "We are also from here, you don't have to worry."

The miner was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. He took a breath, looked at the two of them carefully before calming down and asked: "Are you in charge? Supervisors? Or people from the security team...?" He saw Brando's sword and the battle in Qian's hand. Halberd - In this mining area, only overseers and soldiers will carry weapons, but Brando and Akane are more like the latter except that they are not wearing guard uniforms.

"We are from the security force." Brando replied knowing that these miners knew almost every foreman.

The man looked obviously relieved, but soon became nervous again, "Did you also encounter a monster?" He saw the blood stains on Qian's body.

"Monster?" Brando turned around and looked at each other.

The monster that can be said here is probably the Sylph Spider he summoned, but he frowned, "What kind of monster?" Brando used the Sylph Spider to explore the way on the third floor, but Brando Instinctively, I feel that things are not that simple.

"Stone statue, a monster like a stone statue, Martha is on top!"

"A monster like a stone statue?" Qian squatted down next to Brando and asked in a low voice.

Stone statue? Brando thought that there were many monsters in the form of Warnd's rocks, typical of which were the gargoyle sentries and war puppets made by Buga's craftsman wizards. However, considering the environment here, stone elements were more likely.

Brando thought for a while and comforted the other party: "You don't have to be afraid. We are here. Slowly think about what form those monsters are. Are they humanoid? Or animal-shaped?"

The miner breathed heavily: "It's like a beast, but it's all made of rocks. Sir, I swear I'm not wrong!"

"Animal shape? Does it have wings?"

"No!" replied firmly.

Brando was surprised. He had never heard of such a rock-form monster. Although there were all kinds of strange monsters and monsters in Warnd, most of them could be traced back to their origins. Monsters in the form of mud or rocks are either magic puppets or related to the earth element world. However, except for a few gargoyles, beast-shaped ones are very rare.

The creatures in the earth element world are more similar to insect shapes.

However, seeing that the miner was suspicious again, he hurriedly calmed the other person's mood: "Is there anyone else here besides you?" He knew that miners usually enter the mining area in groups.

The miner swallowed, as if he had just remembered this, and nodded quickly: "Yes," he said, "I came with our group, but we were scattered when we encountered monsters."

He couldn't help but look into the depths of the deep cave, and said with some uncertainty: "I don't know where they went, I don't know if they are still alive, the monster may be chasing them..."

He seemed a little lucky, but also a little scared.

"By the way," the miner suddenly remembered something: "Master Mahan is also here."

"Lord Mahan?"

"You don't know him?" The miner was slightly stunned: "He is the foreman in this area. I heard that he was in the army before and his swordsmanship is very good. When the earthquake started, he said that he would go to the front to see Look, then those monsters appear.”

Brando was ashamed, thinking that he almost missed the mark by asking casually. Fortunately, the worker was not very vigilant when he saw 'one of his own'.

But he didn't hear the problem, but Akane frowned slightly: "When the earthquake started, didn't it start to collapse in an instant? Besides, why did he go to the front to see?"

As a person who has been a mercenary since a very young age, the girl's way of thinking is much more vigilant and sharp than Brando's.

When Brando heard this, he also reacted: "That's right. Shouldn't we find a safe place to take refuge at this time?"

"No, no, no," the miner waved his hand hurriedly: "The vibration was not that severe at first, and the rock formation below is relatively solid, and the landslide was not that severe. The key is that the vibration came from the south, didn't you feel it?"

The vibration came from the south——

This unexpected information made Brando react. It seemed that his guess was already close to ten. As expected, something incredible had been dug out from under the Saffrond Mine. But even though he didn't know each other, he was still worried about Ke Wen and the teenagers. They must be in danger at this moment, and Brando couldn't help but sigh.

"It doesn't look like an earthquake," Akane turned around and whispered, "Sir."

Brando has made up his mind to go ahead and take a look. Although the silver inheritance is not as rare as the golden apple, it is also a rare good thing. However, the reward is so valuable that the task will not be so simple.

He suddenly interrupted Qian's words and raised a finger to his lips: "Shh——"

The mine tunnel fell silent, except for the miner's heavy breathing. But soon, both Qian and the miner heard a rustling sound coming from the south, as if something was moving close to the ground.

"Here they come."

The man's face suddenly turned pale.

But Brando put down his sword, feeling a little confused in his heart. There were a lot of things coming, but the slightly heavy footsteps didn't sound like something powerful.

However, soon the monsters mentioned by the miners emerged from the darkness one by one. The first one to appear was a gray-white cat. It gracefully walked through the darkness and entered the light range of the lighting crystal, using a pair of gray gem-like Staring at Brando.

No, it should be said that they are a pair of gray gems.

Because this slender feline is actually a stone statue—a living stone statue—with gray crystal eyes.

As soon as Brando saw this thing, he suddenly understood. It turns out that this is not a rock-shaped monster at all. It is a kind of summoned object, to be precise, it is a creature formed by mimicking the earth element.

As for what form it takes, it all depends on the summoner's wishes.

But Brando was slightly startled, "Is there an elf down there?" This thought flashed through his mind for a moment, "Or is something unconsciously controlling these creatures?"

It seems the latter possibility is much more obvious. But if it is an equipment with autonomous consciousness, even if it is a subconscious mind without intelligence, it is at least above level one.

And it may be an extremely high-level fantasy level.

Brando burst into tears when he thought of this, thinking that since he came to this world, he could finally see high-end equipment seriously.

While he was thinking this, more and more cats appeared in the darkness, more than a dozen of them at a glance, and there were a few pairs of shimmering eyes swaying outside the dividing line between light and shadow.

More than twenty rock panthers had formed a semicircle to surround them.

There was no panic on Brando's face. He took a step forward and put down his sword: "You stay away, Qian."

Qian grabbed the miner who was so frightened that his legs and feet were weak, and he was crawling to the ground to escape. Then he turned back and nodded to Brando, and retreated a little obediently. She knew that she didn't have much power now. At most, she was just a little stronger than ordinary people because of the physique of the divine envoy. Staying on the front line could only interfere with Brando's actions.

However, although she lost her power, her vision was still there, and she had seen that these big stone cats did not seem to be threatening - especially to Brando.
