my age of magic

Chapter 308 108. The Insidious Goblin
This is the wreckage of an ancient war tree. A thick ancient war tree like this needs to grow for at least a hundred years, but it has been burned to the point where only a pitch-black stump remains. It turned out to be a dead stump of an ancient war tree. It was precisely because the stump was burned after being dead and broken, so it was very coincidental to avoid being eaten by insects or rot in the following days, so this The stump survived.

The wood of ancient war trees is stronger than iron wood, so it is very suitable for structural frames.Those underground residents actually thought of using this method to construct the entrance of the passage connecting them with the ground, which is really unique.

This kind of whimsy is also an eye-opener for me. This entrance is not only strong and concealed, but also prevents rainwater from pouring back.

Hank held the tower shield in one hand and glanced back. Behind him was a swordsman holding a heavy Roman sword in one hand, and a moonstone in the other hand. The entire gem was in the swordsman's palm. There was a faint light in the tree, and he followed Hank into the tree hole, and Hank's team members took up their weapons and filed in without any hesitation.

The magic apprentices in their team were still carefully protected in the middle of the team. She turned her head and gave Yingli and me a cautious look, and followed their team into the mine.

She is a student of our School of Magic. Although she is in the same class as me, she is not familiar with her.In fact, my circle of friends is very narrow, because usually outside of class, I seldom communicate with other students in the class. I always leave the classroom without saying a word after class. The library kills time outside of the classroom.

There is nothing to hesitate. In such an unknown environment, I need to protect everyone in the team. Rita imitated Hank's approach, standing at the front of the team, carefully holding the Faced with a big round shield, Darwin was about to follow behind the last member of Hank's team and get into the cave. Darwin also eagerly took out a moonstone from his backpack, and said to Rita in front with some pride: "Fortunately, I Grandma stuffed a piece of moonstone into my backpack before leaving, but I didn't expect to use it."

In fact, if the two teams walked into the narrow cave one by one, then the front of the second team happened to be the most central area of ​​the whole team, which was the safest place.Rita has no experience in this field, and doesn't know the trick, so she can only follow the example of Hank and follow Hank's team closely, walking into the cave.

Rita, Darwin, Lagertys, Becky, Yingli, Helena, and I stayed at the end to take charge of the cutoff. I was worried that something would happen to Hank's team at the front door, so I specially asked Lagerty, an archer apprentice who is good at long-range sniping, to Si was in the front team, so he had the intention of letting Lagertis help Hank's team. After all, even the instructors of the bow training class praised Lagertis for having the potential to be Hawkeye.

I took out the stone drum totems from the magic pocket, held them in my hands and activated them one by one, and the four radiant stone drum totems surrounded my body, shining like four bright lights.When I was trapping and killing the saber-toothed tiger king last time, I found that I was more suitable for using weapons like one-handed axes.

This time, before I set off, I specifically asked Marvin to help me find a one-handed weapon such as an ax and hammer. Marvin had a way, and it didn’t take long. Marvin returned with a claw hammer made of fine steel. The seller said that this was a shield warrior's handy weapon. This weapon has been maintained very new, and there is no hidden wound. I was more inclined to a handy one-handed axe, but in such a special environment, I was able to find a It was already very difficult to get the claw hammer in hand, so I thanked Marvin, and I brought out the claw hammer in this operation.

The short-handled claw hammer is black and dull. The hammer head was forged into the shape of a goat's head by a master blacksmith. The whole warhammer is made lifelike. It feels heavy in the hand, and the cold texture of the metal makes me feel very comfortable.

In my left hand I held the oil lamp I begged for from Sophie. When I poured the pure wind elements stored in each node of my body into the oil lamp, the magic pattern circle on the entire oil lamp flickered instantly. After a while, a gust of wind element floated out of the wick, wrapped around my right arm, followed closely behind Helena, bent down and got into the entrance of the low tree.

I originally thought that the mine tunnels built by these underground residents must be narrow and low, but after drilling into the entrance of the tree hole, and walking into the cave, I found that the main mine road inside was far from being dilapidated as imagined, but rather spacious. very.It's just that there is no light inside, and suddenly entering a dark cave from a bright place, the field of vision will be completely dark in the first few seconds.

A cool breath blows from the mine. The first section of the cave is very humid. There are countless water droplets condensed on the stone walls. On the protruding rock above the head, some crystal clear Water beads, when the water beads condense to a large enough size, they will break away from the rock mass on the roof and fall on the stone ground, forming a puddle over time.

Passing through the puddles hidden on the ground of the mine, you must be careful not to step into the puddles rashly. It is a kind of icy cold beyond imagination. On the exposed rock walls in the mine, There are traces of mining picks everywhere, the mine road is inclined ten degrees downward, and the stone slope is very gentle.

Walking tens of meters from the entrance of the Ancient War Tree, we met a crossroad. Hank walked ahead, chose the straight mine road, and led us forward.It didn't take long before there was the sound of fighting, but the chaos subsided after a while. I stood at the back of the team and couldn't learn the situation ahead in time, so I could only wait patiently.

Not long after, the news came from Hank, saying that a reckless patterned leopard had broken into the mine and had been hunted down by Hank's team.

After such a sudden situation, the arrogance of the originally loose team changed a lot, and everyone became more cautious.

The light on the moonstone reflected the silhouettes of Yingli and Helena who were walking in front. The girl Xinxiang's body kept swaying with the rhythm of walking. Helena's steps were as light as if she was dancing. onto Helena's slender waist.I carefully looked at the rhythm of her walking and swaying, it was so soft and beautiful.

Helena looked back with a sense of awareness, and saw that it was me who looked stupid like Brother Pig, covered her mouth and let out a dumb laugh, and gave me a charming look, she slowed down her pace quietly, Taking advantage of the darkness in the mine tunnel to avoid light, I boldly stretched out her white hand back, and I also stretched out my hand in a mysterious way to hold her beautiful catkin, just like that, in this quiet place Walked forward in silence in the mine.

Looking at Yingli who walked ahead without knowing anything, my heart beat fast, and for the first time I felt my cheeks being burned.

Holding a moonstone lantern in his hand, Yingli carefully looked at the road under his feet. If he encountered puddles or sudden rocks, he would softly remind Helena behind him...and me of course.

Continue to go in, this time it was calm for a long time, we walked deep in the winding and endless mine.

On the stone walls on both sides of the mine tunnel, some rusty ores with green ice patterns began to appear. These are unrefined copper ores, and those magic red coppers are often the rare associated mines of these copper ores.I couldn't help reaching out and touching the green ore, thinking: If I can stay in the mine quietly, I will be able to find the associated red copper.

Just as I was fascinated by the copper rust on the stone wall, Hank's roar had already been heard in front of me.

He must be in trouble. I gently pulled Helena back and said to her and Becky, "Take care of Yingli!"

Just want to run ahead and reinforce Hank and his team.But Yingli insisted on following me, not wanting to be separated from me.

There was the sound of fighting in front, and the battle became very fierce. At the beginning of the battle, Lagertis, who was guarding the center of the team, shot a gorgeous white streamer, and her feathered arrow passed straight through everyone in front, directly hitting The front of the passage turned into a firework, and by the light of the fire, I had a panoramic view of the situation ahead, and the feather arrow hit Hei.

Hank held up his shield high in front of a Mechanized Stone Man. The Mechanized Stone Man swung a huge two-handed warhammer in his hand, and smashed it on Hank's shield with a "bang", knocking Hank away with his shield. , Hank's team sent two other fighters to fill in Hank's position for the first time, blocking the mechanism stone man with a shield without any difference.

Hank was knocked back by the hammer of the mechanism stone man, and his body backed up until he hit the stone wall before he stopped. It seemed that he was seriously injured, and he fell on the edge of the stone wall and didn't even get up the first time.

I ran forward with the people of Yingli, but found a slight fluctuation on the side of the stone wall. My magic perception is far superior to ordinary people. I have already felt that this stone wall is a bit different, so I pay more attention to the two sides of the stone wall. .

Just a moment after I ran over, a small goblin came out of the stone wall with a bow and arrow, stretched out a delicate metal hunting bow, and aimed at Yingli's back, showing a sinister and cunning look , that delicate arrow was coated with green venom.

With a sound of "collapse", the green feathered arrow on the metal hunting bow pointed at Ying Li's back.

This sudden sneak attack immediately shocked me to the core. Before I had time to think about it, I grabbed her arm with my hand and threw her behind me. I didn't have time to cast the condensed ice shield to block the attack The green arrow full of toxins, that goblin was only a dozen steps away from Yingli and me, and the green arrow came so suddenly...

I just had a chance to stand in front of Ying Li, and the little green arrow pierced into my shoulder with a "pop".
