Players' NPC boss

"Herbie, what's next?"

"Jump down and turn left."

Herbie and Blaze gave orders and executed them perfectly, and the three of them moved forward at high speed in the tunnel.

"Is there really a killer from a foreign land?" With Audrey's intelligence, she quickly understood the reason why Blaze did this.

"There are five people, one is relatively weak, and the other four should be particularly strong." The chicken stood on top of Herbie's head, monitoring the surroundings with sharp eyes to prevent monsters in the dark from lurking and attacking.

"How did they know and have been following us? Or are there detectives inside? Did they know from the beginning that we were going to go through the tunnel and wanted to make it easier to do it in the tunnel? Turn right!"

Herbie pinched his eyebrows and thought wildly.

"Don't think too much, just think that we were unlucky and were seen by them when we were leaving."

Blaze raised his twisted sword and stabbed it upwards. A gold-eating ant was pierced through the head, and the chicken was locked on the insect that was trying to sneak attack.

"Damn it, at least we shouldn't be so unlucky that they know we're going to the other side of the Ganges River."

Herbie cursed under his breath, then looked up and continued to give directions.

"Jump down the pit ahead!"

"Do it! These damn bugs."

The little girl stamped her feet angrily, surrounded by four followers in the center, and a group of gold-eating ants surrounded them.

[Gold-Eating Ant Queen LV65]

[The mother of gold-eating ants usually stays in the nest to lay eggs. The queen will not leave her nest unless absolutely necessary. Once she leaves, it means that there is not enough food. Gold-eating ants will swarm out of the nest to hunt after the queen. 】

"Tsk, it smells so bad."

The Viking follower wearing extremely rough leather armor split the gold-eating ant queen in half with an axe. This hidden BOSS, which was randomly spawned in the mines of the Broken Steel Mountains and came with a bunch of minions, was very difficult for them, who were LV85. Old players can cut it as casually as a vegetable.

After cleaning up all the gold-eating ants, the little girl looked extremely ugly.

A follower wearing a brown trench coat and holding a pipe in his mouth looked around with a magnifying glass and shook his head helplessly.

"Sister, all the clues have been destroyed by the corrosive liquid of gold-eating ants."

[Detective], you need to solve ten major cases to unlock it, a special profession that can greatly improve your intelligence. Among them, the unique skill [Live Reenactment] allows you to restore the scene within a certain period of time according to your own needs, as long as the environment is not excessively damaged.

In theory, this profession can even restore and deduce how others trigger special plots.

"What are they doing! If they want to stall for time in this Broken Steel Mountain mine, we won't be able to find them."

The little girl was crying and about to sit on the ground and make a mess. The Viking follower and another Berserker follower quickly combined their arms to form a chair and caught the little girl.

"It's impossible. Survival in a mine, singer aside, that Herbie Hermes is just an ordinary person and can't survive at all."

The detective's follower flicked his hat.

"Sister, they probably want to use this mine tunnel to cross the Ganges River."

"How do you know!"

The detective follower nodded his forehead, spread his hands, and looked like he didn't want to explain common sense. The other four people were angry, but they were helpless.

There is no moisture or luck at all. Only pure intelligence can obtain the special profession of [Detective].

"And I happen to know the latest route. If those three people want to use this tunnel to cross the Ganges, then we can definitely ambush them at the exit."

"Of course, there are also uncertainties..."

"It goes without saying, lead the way!"

The little girl excitedly grabbed the detective's ear and stretched out her hand to direct.

The four of them were very obedient, or in other words, followed the little girl accommodatingly.

The five people ran all the way, as if to prove the gold level of the detective followers. From time to time, they could find traces of Blaze and the three passing by on the route.

"That's pretty much it."

The detective and the attendant determined the position, and the five of them lurked in the corner. The little girl rubbed the detective's head with her hands from time to time as a compliment.

At this time, something came over.

"The voice...the weight, the height...the weight is too heavy. It should be carrying those two people on their shoulders." The detective squinted his eyes to make a judgment and gestured towards the four people.

It's the Black Beast Knight.

superior!

"Suffer death!"

The five people picked up their weapons and rushed out of the ambush point.

A werewolf over two meters tall with blood-red eyes met them head-on.

【Werewolf LV70】

"Ahhhhhhhhh-"

The little girl screamed subconsciously, and then more werewolves appeared and surrounded them.

The remaining four people also screamed, and fire, water, lightning, and various magic attacks and melee attacks exploded in the narrow tunnel.

"Dangdang [Hermes' Traveling Hat] actually used an expired map."

Blaze poked the spine of Herbie who was walking in front with his voice.

"Hey, hey, lost~" Herbie scratched the back of his head and turned around with a bright smile.

"Forgive me."

Blaze and Audrey didn't speak. Although the tunnel was dark, Herbie could feel the two piercing gazes.

"Change, let's think about it differently. We are pretending to be lost to disrupt the other party's tracking of us..."

Herbie's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he lowered his head to find the way.

Blazer kept paying attention to the surroundings, and the silver needle never left his fingers, guarding against the werewolves that might appear at any time.

But for some reason, it was quite quiet along the way. Not to mention the strangers who came to chase him, the werewolves, and even the insect monsters in the mine did not appear.

The tunnel was terribly quiet, so he kept his nerves tense.

"Ah, I found it!"

Finally, Herbie found the right way, and then kicked something, causing a crackling sound.

"Ah! It appeared!"

Herbie screamed and rushed behind Blazer like a monkey. Audrey was frightened by Herbie and became nervous, shaking her hand on the rapier at her waist.

In the dark, Blazer and Chicken, who had a clear vision, looked at the pipe on the ground speechlessly. Chicken picked up the pipe and handed it to Blazer.

[Famous Detective Pipe]

[Only detectives can equip it, which can emit smoke to dispel negative mental states. 】

"Cough cough cough——"

Audrey coughed lightly and turned her head, but Blaze could clearly see Audrey's red ears. Even the future baroness could not do anything about darkness and terror.

Herbie, on the other hand, didn't care at all, and even simply hugged Blaze like a sloth.

"In the end, not only did we not encounter werewolves, but we were not ambushed by strangers, and we passed through the tunnel easily."

Blaze stood on the cliff and looked at the roaring Hundred Fetuses River not far away. It was the first time he was so close to the main road of the Hundred Fetuses River. It was more like a river than a river, and the surging waves were like a terrible beast tide.

Just seeing the rich red, it seemed as if the nose could smell the smell of blood.

"Hey, Blaze, come and help me."

Herbie, who was grabbing the edge of the crack and looked like she was about to slide down, cried out.

Blaze retracted his gaze, grabbed Herbie's collar, and lifted her up.
