Chapter 217 Disappearing out of thin air
When Shuer recovered from the dizziness of space magic, he found that he was already at the edge of the camp. There were no threats around him, but the melee professions still cautiously guarded the periphery. This is the professionalism of mercenaries. Now that all the defensive forces in the camp have been transferred to the shelter for defense, it is no longer a safe area. Defense measures must be taken at all times. This is not something that can be done casually. There are countless powerful warriors in history. , died in a Warcraft raid because he ignored the changes in the safety zone.

"Everyone is on the spot and on guard." Shuer then signaled Mia with his eyes. The meaning was obvious, my mission has been completed and it's your turn to take over.

"You continue." Unexpectedly, Mia shook her head and said, "We will discuss the issue of command authority after this battle is over."

"You are really lazy." Xiure sighed. It was not something to be happy about suddenly taking on responsibilities when he didn't need to. However, he was not someone who would shirk responsibility. He could only shrug and said what he was about to say. , the ground beneath his feet suddenly shook violently.

The effect was like an earthquake, making everyone's body a little unstable. Not only the people, but also the houses in the camp not far away were shaking. Then there was a loud noise, and a wave of darkness filled the excavation site. Smoke, bricks, and rubble shot up into the sky, and then plopped down around them like rain.

In the energy perception, it can be clearly felt that a huge burst of energy exploded violently from the location of the magic tower. The violent magic energy was like the light of destroying the world, almost destroying everything around, even the edge of the excavation site. Part of it collapsed. Fortunately, the ruins of the ancient city were underground, otherwise the explosion would have been powerful enough to destroy the entire camp.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what happened to that big spider?" Dak, who had experienced many real wars with the mercenary group and was used to seeing big scenes in various missions, was the first to recover from the shock of the explosion, " An explosion of this size should be able to kill it."

"This is not necessarily true." Shuer's recovery was no slower than Dak. "You and I will definitely not be able to cause such large-scale damage with our best efforts, but Mia and Yuri should be able to, well, if they burn their life potential, they should be able to, you What do you two think?"

"It's hard to say, but if you destroy a few magic devices on my body, it will definitely be fine." The noble and elegant beautiful wing-man flapped his wings, "The magic devices on us ordinary wing-men are not good things. It can cause damage on this scale. Some better magic devices will be much more powerful when detonated than they are now, but..."

"But you can't activate your strength, right?"

"No, no, I mean, but those are too rare and ordinary wingmen like me can't afford them."

"Oh, it's so ordinary." Xiuer was too lazy to talk about ordinary winged people. He ignored her explanation and said to Dak, "So, this explosion is at most the top gold level. If you want to completely I’m afraid I’m still short of killing the legendary monster. Anyway, let’s go over and have a look.”

This is the most direct way, and there will definitely be no objection. Now we can’t even bother to check on the situation of the more than 100 people in the ordinary mercenaries and excavation team. If we don’t deal with the mutated spider mother first, everyone will be doomed.

However, when the ten people ran to the edge of the excavation site, everyone was stunned.

The magic tower below has disappeared. A deep pit was blown out where the magic tower was. The remains of the tower were scattered all over the entire excavation site. Many small spider limbs can also be seen among the rubble. minced meat.Everyone had anticipated this scene before it happened, and Mia was still feeling lucky that she had let Miridi move everything out of the magic tower first, otherwise she would have lost all her money this time.So this is not surprising. What is really surprising is that there is nothing in the pit, and there is no shadow of the mutated spider mother at all.

This is very strange.

The magic tower did not collapse, but was blown away, and the debris was scattered in all directions instead of piled up in place. Look at the excavation site. Although it is covered with a thick layer of gravel, the thickness is not enough to cover up the mutated spider mother. body.The mutant spider mother is huge. Even if she lies down close to the ground, her body is still three or four meters high, but there is no gravel three or four meters away around her.

Moreover, when the explosion occurred, everyone turned their attention immediately and did not see the body of the spider mother being blown up into the sky. Logically speaking, it should still be in the pit, but now it is gone.

There are only two reasons to explain it. It crawled away and hid for a while, but it was blown to pieces, but if you think about it carefully, both reasons are untenable.

With the size of the mutated spider, there is no hiding space for it in the excavation site. Everyone is condescending and it can be seen clearly in the excavation site. Unless it digs a hole and burrows into the ground, it will be discovered wherever it hides. As for actually burrowing into the ground, it will be discovered. inside?No kidding, with such a big body, it would take a long time just to dig a hole.

And it is even more impossible to be blown to pieces. Even if the hardness of its carapace is ignored, assuming that the explosion can really blow it to pieces, the problem lies in its size. The size is large, and the fragments must be large. On the ruins of the ruins, even the limbs of the little spider are You can see a lot of it. With such large pieces, it is inevitable that some parts will be exposed, but there is no such thing.

The mercenaries looked at each other, this is interesting, where did it go?
Looking at the devastated excavation site, Xiuer beat his thigh and was silent for a few seconds. His expression suddenly changed, he clenched his fists with a gloomy face, and said in a calm tone: "Let's go to the shelter first to check the situation. I hope Don't be affected over there." The so-called shelter is actually in the camp. It is a fortification five meters underground and built with rocks dug out from around the excavation site. The walls are very thick, enough to block most impacts. The space inside It's not too big, but it can accommodate about a hundred people.

"Woooooo." As soon as he started moving, Dak blew the communication horn. In fact, the distance between the two sides was not far, only 300 meters, but there were many buildings in the middle, so he couldn't see it directly. Use sound to communicate.

The horn response that came back soon made Shuer relieved a lot. Two of Dak's subordinates led ordinary mercenaries to guard outside the shelter. Since they responded normally, what about the shelter? There were no problems on the side.

Sure enough, after walking around a few buildings, you can see around the exit of the shelter from a distance. The mercenaries have built temporary bunkers and are guarding behind the bunkers in batches. The mercenaries are actually very worried now, especially what happened just now. The explosion made them even more frightened.

It’s not that they are worried about the safety of these high-level mercenaries. They have nothing to do with the life and death of these strong men, and it is not their turn to worry about the strong men. What they are worried about is that if Mia dies in the explosion, no one will pay. Remuneration is a problem.Of course, there is another point. The mercenaries also know what it means for these strong men to behave as if they are facing a powerful enemy. If the strong men are dead but the enemy is not dead, then they will be the next batch.

Therefore, when they saw the high-level mercenaries returning intact, everyone cheered heartily, but who they were for was another matter.

"Call everyone inside, hurry up." Xiuer's expression was very calm, but his speech speed was obviously faster, as if he was racing against time, "The number of people is wrong, Dak, let your people report the situation."

"Shur now has the highest command." Mia added in time, "His orders are leisurely."

After hearing Mia's addition, the mercenaries were suspicious and sent a representative into the shelter to call for help.

"Falcon." Dak, like Shuuer, immediately discovered the problem with the number of people. There were 52 ordinary mercenaries, and now there are only more than 30 people present. He also wanted to know where the rest of them went, " Where are those people?”

"Huh? Commander, you didn't..." The black-armored knight known as Falcon is also a high-ranking silver-ranked knight, and he can be regarded as an old member of the dark mercenary regiment, so he subconsciously said some nonsense Then he came to his senses, slapped his helmet hard, and responded loudly, "Report, six minutes ago, some professional members of the excavation team led a group of workers out, and they asked for some mercenaries to protect their safety. We are not qualified to stop them, we can only cooperate with them and send troops."

Um?out?What the hell is this.Shuer, Dak and Mia looked at each other, gritting their teeth secretly.

"Be more specific." Holding back his anger, Dak asked, "Where have they gone, and you are not qualified to stop them?"

"It was led by one of Lady Mia's mage assistants. We really couldn't stop it." The visor hid the bitter smile on the Falcon's face. "They said they were worried that the things transported from the magic tower would be damaged, so they insisted. Bring them back as soon as possible."

"Can't they wait for a while?" Mia couldn't help but cursed, but as soon as the Falcon said it, the three of them almost understood.

It was obvious that 6 minutes ago, the energy intensity in the magic pool was getting higher and higher, and the possibility of an accidental explosion was getting higher and higher.Although the shelter and the magic tower are several hundred meters apart, the mages in the shelter must have been aware of such a high energy reaction.Although they don't know what happened inside the magic tower, they still know that there is likely to be an energy explosion. It is the instinct of these scholars to protect the excavated antiquities. It is really difficult for them to sit back and watch the antiquities being destroyed.

So, a pair of scholars set off with porters and guards. They didn't want to enter the magic tower and cause trouble for the mercenaries. They just wanted to move things around the excavation site back to the shelter first, so as not to destroy the antiquities in case of an explosion. .Anyway, the distance is not far, only about 200 meters. I came back in a few minutes and brought many guards with me. It is not considered an adventure, but it is understandable.

But what about people?
Especially after the people inside came out, after careful counting, there were seven fewer scholars, 24 fewer ordinary workers, and sixteen fewer mercenaries. The high-level mercenaries did not encounter them along the way. Nearly five Ten living people just disappeared out of thin air.
