The road, however. Feeling the increasingly depressing atmosphere, I feel that the current direction is correct. If I guess correctly, the center of the sewer should bring us a big "surprise".

"Woo~~"

Xiaoxue, who was walking at the front, suddenly knelt down slightly and neighed in a low voice.

There was a hint of hostility, so I glanced ahead slightly warily. Under the dim firelight, I could vaguely see a huge rat's nest, but there was nothing there. Kate and Holt behind me didn't seem to notice anything either.

Just as I was slowing down, a petite figure walked past me at a steady pace and with an expressionless face.

"etc……"

The danger signal from Xiaoxue put me on alert immediately. I couldn't help but shout softly. I couldn't help but reach out to the princess who suddenly walked in front of me, and reached out to her...

Uh...I grabbed the big white hat, but there was nothing I could do, it was a height problem, and the hat was too eye-catching.

Immediately there was a soft feeling in my hands. The princess was a princess, and the hat that came with it was full of feel.

"..."

What made me open my mouth was that this mysterious princess seemed to turn a deaf ear to my actions. One step, two steps... Her feet kept stepping out, but due to the huge gap in strength, she could not move under my pull.

If you take a step forward, you can only move around as if standing still.

After taking seven or eight steps, she seemed to react. She stopped, turned around, raised her head slightly, and looked at me with dark lines on my face silently with her eyes as plain as water, as if to say: Is something wrong?

"Haha...haha...Well, Her Royal Highness's hat is really sturdy..."

I said in a squeaky voice, this is not nonsense. Not to mention my strength, Princess Marissa, as a mercenary, even a mage mercenary, her strength is not much smaller, and in

After the two people pulled it, not only was the hat not damaged at all, but it was firmly placed on her head. It was strong and stable enough to put the top tailors in the entire Diablo to shame.

Faced with my rude behavior and the compliment that was nothing like praise, Her Royal Highness the Princess was surprisingly lifeless. She just remained speechless and nodded silently. Then she raised her arms and showed her pair of eyes again.

The delicate hands that made even the beautiful pianist feel depressed, patted lightly on the wrinkled hat that was pulled by me, trying very hard to tidy up this hat that felt so good.

Because the hat was so big, it was difficult for her to reach the top of the hat even with her slender hands. It was obvious that it took a lot of effort for her to accomplish this thing that is easy for normal people to do.

She seemed to be very concerned about the hat. She adjusted it for almost a minute before she was satisfied and put down her arms. She put her little hands back into her sleeves. Then she raised her head and continued to look at me silently, waiting for my explanation.

Fortunately, Xiaoxue took action at this time and finally broke the awkward atmosphere.

It roared fiercely above our heads, and as if in response, several huge black shadows fell from the top of the dark sewer a few meters in front of us. These shadows flapped their huge wings and made dizzy sounds.

A dull, sharp scream.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Kate and Holt screamed, and following the dim firelight, we saw their figures clearly in an instant. They turned out to be eight or nine huge gray bats about the size of children, with wings spread over one meter wide.

"This is... the dark bat in the underground waterway of Kurast Mall..."

A small and subtle sound sounded. Although it was instantly drowned out by the sharp flapping of the bat's wings, with my sensitive ears, I still caught the sound. I couldn't help but look at Princess Moissa with surprise. Although it was not loud,

Possibly, but the sound should come from her mouth.

It turns out that she can actually speak. I was no less surprised by the eloquent words of this princess than when I saw these weird bats.

However, the current situation no longer allows me to be distracted. If Princess Morissa is right, this should be a monster that only appears in Kurast, and its level is at least level 30, and the middle one is even more powerful.

It was dark green in color. It was obvious that it was an elite level monster or above, and it was definitely not something that the three mercenaries in front of me, who could not even deal with a few burning death archers, could withstand.

"Get out of here quickly."

I shouted in a low voice, and the five ghost wolves lined up in front of me, and I was secretly anxious. These so-called dark bats move extremely fast, and they are even flying animals. If they are targeting these three mercenaries around me,

If so, I am not absolutely sure that it can stop it, especially that dark bat, which is at least an elite level. If it targets Princess Moissa, the most vulnerable among the four, it will be great, even if it is not an instant kill.

, she definitely couldn't last more than a few seconds.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, several other people did not lose their sense of proportion. Kate Hote quickly retreated in response to my soft drink. Our taciturn Princess was even more clever. When she spoke out, she already spoke with

That petite and frail figure quickly hid behind me at an extremely unsuitable speed. It seemed that he was determined to use me as a human shield.

The bats didn't have high IQs and didn't know the tactics of attacking the weak enemy. When they saw a few ghost wolves standing in front of them, they let out angry screams and rushed towards them, fighting with Xiaoxue and the others.

It has to be said that as a special flying force, these bats have great air superiority and are surprisingly fast. If they could not only live in narrow caves or sewers, their combat would be more flexible. The most speechless thing is that they

Their attacks also have lightning properties. If the resistance is not high, they will easily be unable to fight back. Therefore, it is not easy for the ghost wolves to deal with them.

Xiaoxue faced off against the elite-level dark bat alone (after judging its strength, it was roughly guessed that it should be an elite-level monster). With its strong physique, rapid speed and extremely high resistance, it was difficult to deal with it.

With ease, victory is only a matter of time. However, the other four ghost wolves are more embarrassed when dealing with eight ordinary dark bats. In terms of strength, they are not inferior to the dark bats, and can even handle one against two.

Odds of winning. Unfortunately, although it is now four against eight, their bodies are too big for the narrow sewer. Let alone cooperation, they cannot even exert their usual eight points of strength. Instead, they are defeated by eight dark bats.

Disgraced.

It can also be seen from this that there is a big gap in strength between the four mutant ghost wolves who are also at the first level of evolution and the elite Xiaoxue. There is no doubt that Xiaoxue is strong enough to single-handedly defeat the siege of the other four mutant ghost wolves.

.

Fortunately, the poisonous flower vine also quickly joined the battlefield. Since leaving the fourth floor of the tomb, it has not eaten for a long time and is very hungry. However, the size of these dark bats just fits the limit of what it can swallow.

So, taking advantage of the unpreparedness, it jumped out of the ground like a poisonous snake, and bit a dark bat that was flying slower. It closed its big mouth, holding the struggling and screaming dark bat in its mouth.

After diving into the ground, he successfully activated the swallowing skill in his first attack.

With the addition of poisonous flower vines, the other four ghost wolves quickly took the initiative and wiped out all the remaining seven dark bats in a short time. Xiaoxue on the side saw that his men had solved the battle and suddenly felt embarrassed.

There was no light on his face, blood-red violence flashed across his eyes, and his attacks became swift and violent in vain, as if he was risking his life. As for the result, it goes without saying.

"Elites in their 30s are indeed richer."

I muttered and picked up more than ten gold coins from the ground, two large bottles of life potion, a bottle of rejuvenation potion, and a cracked sapphire. Although there was no gold equipment, I also generously dropped a high-end blue equipment.

Spiked Helm of Excellence

Defense:32

Durability:40-40

Strength required: 63

Required level: 21

Attacker takes damage 4

This excellent full-coverage helmet has a delicate and gorgeous hood that protects almost everything above the neck, with only a slit for the eyes and nose, and a curved bull horn on each side of the top. It looks ingenious.

It is both strong and majestic, but it is a pity that it requires 63 points of strength to wear. If I don't transform, I can't use it at all. After I transform, I can't see it, which immediately shatters my dream of performing the god of war in front of the little ghost.

.

The other three people heard the sound of the fighting ending and walked out from the corner. Common sense in the Dark Continent is that the most common way to avoid being targeted by the enemy is to get out of the opponent's sight, so they did not see the entire battle.

"That's great, I knew your Excellency would definitely win."

Kate was not shy about her horses, and she spoke eloquently.

"I think the abnormality in the sewer must be caused by these dark bats."

Hawke also looked surprised.

"That's not certain."

I shook my head, not thinking that an elite dark bat could make such a big noise.

"look--"

I took out a teleportation scroll and unfolded it, but there was no response at all. It seems that the root of the problem does not lie in this.

"Woo~~"

At this time, Xiaoxue did not relax after winning the battle, but instead roared even more vigilantly.

"Shh-"

I signaled the restless mercenary duo to calm down, my ears twitched slightly and stood up, carefully capturing the movement around them.

The heavy breathing and nervous swallowing of Holt and Kate, the sound of dripping water in the distance in the damp sewer, the slight breathing of Princess Marissa and Xiaoxue...

"Kara, Kara..."

An imperceptible friction sound came from the depths of the sewer, and gradually spread, like a resonance, from one trace to one after another, from one direction to all directions.

"Kara, Kara..."

The sound became clearer and clearer, and even Kate and the others heard it.

"Unfortunately, we... seem to be surrounded."
