Ryan's Sword

Chapter 245 No.60 Encountering the Enemy in Act Four
The flickering flames dispelled the darkness underground, and the air was filled with a strange smell of mud mixed with rust.

The abandoned sewers underground in Buson Town are mostly composed of working platforms and interconnected iron passages. The space about one meter below the passage was originally used as a sewage discharge channel, but where Ian and his party just passed, there is only one area similar to The dried up sludge on the riverbed, even the water vapor in the air can't be felt.

Due to the limited size of the town, the underground of Buson Town could not expand a large space of sufficient scale. After the new drainage system was completed, the old abandoned sewers remained vacant, and the underground black market favored by the dark forces failed to form.

Since the whole team is advancing at this time, in order to avoid the imbalance of the first and last combat power in a sudden battle, Ian dispatched two fighters from the poisonous bee team to go to the rear of the team with the giant bear, and he replaced another frontman. The platoon fighters came to the forefront of the team.

It's not that I don't trust the combat power of the Venomous Bee team. Ian's own shadow vision enables him to spot dangers before others, even as a scout, it is more than enough. Letting him lead the team will undoubtedly improve the team's ability to deal with emergencies a bit a grade.

The time limit given by the military is sufficient, so the exploration speed of the group at this time is not too fast.Even so, they found new changes after several complicated fork roads and corners as they advanced along the side passage.

In the pitch-black environment, the sound of footsteps and breathing almost became the main tone of the world. Suddenly, Randolph, who held a torch in one hand and a buckler in the other, moved his ears slightly, and suddenly turned his head and said, "Captain, there is the sound of water droplets ahead."

"Well, I heard it," Ian stared at the end of the darkness, and even saw the source of the sound of water and groups of large black shadows moving quietly through the corner wall, "It's not just the sound of water, there is also Other things, pay attention to defense."

"Ah?" Randolph was slightly taken aback, subconsciously raised his vigilance, and at the same time raised his shield into a defensive posture, "Understood, Captain!" Grace's instruction.

Whatever the captain told him to do, he would execute it. This was one of the habits he had developed since he explored the temple.

The fire continued to move forward, and when passing the corner, a strange elongated shadow appeared in Randolph's sight. He was reminded by Ian and stepped forward without hesitation.

The sudden sound of footsteps seemed to startle the owner of the shadow, and before Randolph actually turned the corner, a foul-smelling wind rushed to his face first.

——Shield Bash (D)!
Although he couldn't see the real image of the attacker clearly for a moment, Randolph swung the shield out like an instinctive reaction.

"Squeaky-"

The shield endowed by combat skills slammed into the enemy fiercely, and the muffled sound of hitting the object was mixed with a sharp cry of pain. Randolph stepped over the corner with his eyes fixed, and he didn't even pursue him immediately, but screamed involuntarily. Said: "This is... a mouse?"

What appeared in front of Randolph was a calf-sized brown-haired mouse. Its exaggerated body shape and sharp bristles comparable to a porcupine gave it an inexplicably ferocious aura that only wild animals had.

Even at this moment it is being forced to retreat after being hit by the shield.

Due to the constraints of the terrain of the passage, the members at the back of the queue did not know what Randolph saw.Only Ian stepped past Randolph while repelling the big rat, stabbing with his long sword——

A thrust of the sword pierced the mouse's head precisely, and with a flick of the wrist, it was thrown out of the passage, hit the wall on one side and fell into the sink below the passage.

There was a "plop", and there was a sound of water splashing under his feet.At the same time, Ian's voice came from the ear of Randolph who was still in a daze: "Don't stop, kill with me, there are more than one enemy."

It wasn't until this moment that a burst of intensive mouse cries came from the forks on both sides of the passage ahead, and rats that were big enough to crowd the entire passage rushed out of it.

"Oh my God……"

Randolph, who came back to his senses, only felt his scalp go numb for a while, and immediately rushed out following Ian's footsteps.

When the people behind them caught up, the scene in front of them made them gasp in unison.In the front row of the passage not far away, the shadow of the sword in Ian's hand was flying, killing the huge rats overwhelming the sky with extremely high efficiency. Randolph, who opened the shield wall, followed him to seal the gap between the rats' breakthrough. People are like bridgeheads, forcibly pushing up a space for the back row players to stand.

Due to the limitation of the terrain, apart from the two people in front, there are only two archers left who can kill the enemy. Compared to Lilith, who was a little dumbfounded, Blue-Eyed Bee quickly suppressed the fluctuations in her heart, immediately took her arrows and drew her bow, and raised her bow. With a slightly smaller arc, even the aiming one was skipped and thrown out casually.

——Concussion Arrow!

A howling blue light passed over the heads of Ian and Ian, who were fighting hard, and struck like a war hammer among the rats covering the passage. With a "boom", the dense group of rats fell into the shallow water below like dumplings, still under the shock force of the arrow.

However, in less than two seconds, the rats behind still filled the gap created by the arrow, so that the two fighting in front did not feel the change in the pressure of the rats at all.

Although he was able to kill in seconds, Ian still felt a bit of fatigue that could not keep up with the speed of energy recovery when the rat corpses piled up in the pool below gathered quickly and the passage climbed up.And Randolph next to him was even more obvious. In fact, in order to prevent the rats from committing suicide, his consumption of defensive combat skills was no less than that of Ian——

Sometimes, killing elephants with too many ants is not just talk, even these groups of rats with weak individual strength may directly pile up senior iron-level fighters by virtue of their numbers.

Fortunately, Ian and Ian were not fighting alone at this time.Under the leadership of the blue-eyed bee, the two archers in the team have already fired at full power, and swayed out the powerful arrow shells wrapped in combat skills like cannonballs. The momentum was slightly blocked, and Ian finally had the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Tam!" Two instant stabs flew towards the mouse that was grabbing at his eyes, and Ian shouted loudly without looking back: "I will clear a space with Randolph in a while, you are going to enter the field, just use big Kill the whirlwind!"

"it is good."

In the dull but decisive reply, the giant bear shoved the torch to the soldiers of the poisonous bee team beside him, and strode forward with a huge sword in his hand.

"Randolph!"

"exist!"

"Go up, hit hard!"

"Roger that!"

Amidst the roars of the two, Ian swiped his sword across the circle of mice, and immediately retreated without a fight, while Randolph, who opened up a gap, shouted violently almost at the same time, his arm muscles seemed to swell. Tightening suddenly like a circle, he swung the iron plate-like shield wall combat skill phantom in his hand, and smashed it forward.
