Report

All along the way, he was invincible!

It had to be said that the size of the demon crocodile hunters had already entered the category of large creatures, while the ferocious Claw Terror were only medium-sized creatures.

Between magical beasts and magical creatures that relied on strength to win, size was undoubtedly the most direct way to display strength.

These Terrorclaw Monsters that Mary couldn't deal with were like little white rabbits struggling on their deathbed when faced with the Demon Crocodile Hunters. They were flipped over by the Demon Crocodiles one by one, and then torn into pieces by the Demon Crocodiles. The high and mighty native hunters held long spears in their hands and continuously threw them outwards, knocking down the Claw Terror that pounced at them.

Since they were all earth type creatures, although the earth damage from the earth spears was negated, the wild physical damage was not. Thus, the Claw Terror that was still charging forward were nailed to the ground by the earth spears. They could only struggle futilely and roar in a low voice.

A few Claw Terror that were lucky enough to reach the side of the demon crocodiles charged forward and unleashed their most ferocious attacks on the thick mud armor of the demon crocodiles. With their ferocious biting and clawing, mud and gravel fell in pieces. But every once in a while, a yellow elemental halo would sweep across and a new layer of mud armor would appear on the demon crocodiles' bodies.

The high and mighty hunter would not let these enemies who wanted to destroy the demon crocodiles' bodies go. The earth spears that were shot at close range directly pierced through their skulls, causing the Claw Terror to wail and fall on the battlefield.

In just the time it took to drink a cup of tea, this unlucky group of Claw Terror fell under the butcher knife of the demon crocodile hunters.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the group of Claw Terror that had died miserably was once again looked down upon by Grimm. In such a large group of vagabonds, there wasn't even a single person with a magical beast core. After hastily harvesting some of the Claw Terror's sharp claws, Grimm and Mary rode on the demon crocodile and swaggered into the depths of the underground.

The broken corpses of the Claw Terror that were left behind would be devoured by the underground creatures that followed the smell in less than half a day. In the underground world where food was scarce, anything that could be swallowed would not be wasted. There were plenty of "nature cleaners" who roamed the dark and deep caves in search of food.

But what Grim didn't expect was that not long after they left the battlefield, a short stalagmite at the edge of the cave shook, and a strange humanoid figure with stone-like skin suddenly stood up. The stone man's eyes were hollow, as if he was a dead thing. He faced the direction where Grimm and the others had disappeared. A strange fluctuation was emitted from his body, which quickly spread into the distance through a secret channel.

After all the information had been transmitted, the stone man slowly and painstakingly pieced together again, returning to its original appearance of a short stalagmite. There were no longer any flaws in its appearance. Such a strange life form, even if Grimm wanted to find it, he would not be able to identify it.



Deep underground, in a secret cave.

The crackling bonfire was burning fiercely, warming the secret cave. Four strange figures in black robes were gathered around the bonfire, silently waiting for something.

At the entrance of the cave, there was a dense and transparent light barrier that blocked all auras from leaking out.

Suddenly, a strange croak came from one of the figures.

It was obviously a woman, judging from the slender palm she extended out of her robe. An extremely ugly toad was crouching in her palm, making an ear-piercing croak with its huge and translucent belly.

"There's movement at position number seven! Together with positions four and five that were triggered earlier, we can conclude that it's the group on the other side. "The woman finally spoke.

"Kekeke … I just received news that they're going to bring a group of chickens, and today we found them. They're really a group of fearless noobs! Since the time when the information was triggered was so close, it means that they've split up. Kekeke … This is the best news I've heard today! "A sinister sneer came from under another black robe.

"Can you determine the strength of each team? I heard that there are quite a few Quasi Sorcerers in their team? My Corpse Puppet is only missing a Quasi Sorcerer's soul! "Another black robe spoke. Judging from his arrogant attitude, he was obviously the leader of the team. Correspondingly, the treacherous and terrifying tone in his voice was the strongest.

"It's very difficult to determine! After all, active spying methods can be easily detected, so the information sent back this time only shows that there are creatures that fit the set conditions. We can't determine their specific strength and number. "The one who answered was the woman from before.

"Hmph, as long as they split up, they're not far from death. Based on their past behavior, it's very likely that they're in groups of two, or at most three. We have three Quasi Sorcerers in our group, are we afraid that we can't take down a small team? "The leader of the black robes laughed sinisterly." Let's go to area four first, it's the closest. If it's successful, we'll go to the other areas and try to wipe out a few more groups! "

"Let's go!"

The group of black robes were all decisive and ruthless people. After a few words of discussion, they abandoned the temporary camp and entered the endless darkness outside the cave.

… …

Grim, who knew nothing about the danger in the distance, was currently living a relaxed and contented life.

With the help of the demon crocodile hunters, he and Mary did not need to do much to wipe out the underground creatures that constantly pounced out of the darkness. As they advanced, they crushed everything in their way, turning this extremely dangerous mission into a leisurely sightseeing trip.

However, what made him feel extremely emotional was that the underground world was indeed a place where there were many different species and messy bloodlines.

These underground creatures were even more ferocious and cruel than the ones on the surface. Sometimes, even though they knew that they were no match for them, they still charged at Grim and his group without a care for their own safety. The weaker ones were nailed to death by the native hunters' spears when they were far away, while the stronger ones were stomped into meat paste by the demon crocodile's sharp and thick forelimbs before they could even bite through the earth armor of the demon crocodile's body.

Against a giant creature that could absorb earth elements from its surroundings to heal itself, their attacks were not enough to threaten it at all. In order to deal with the demon crocodile, one had to either use a terrifying witchcraft to destroy the summoning crystal core hidden deep within its body, or use an endless stream of attacks to break its hard shell. The petite creatures of the Underground World couldn't do both of these.

This was actually related to the environment they lived in.

The underground world was mostly filled with long, narrow tunnels and caves. The ground was densely covered with stalagmites, and countless stalactites hung upside down from the cave ceiling. In this environment, there were two disadvantages to being too big. First, it was difficult to find enough food, and second, it was difficult to pass through all terrains without any obstacles.

Therefore, in order to adapt to the environment, most of the underground creatures had evolved to be cold-blooded and cruel, but their bodies were short and flat. Suddenly encountering such a huge demon crocodile would naturally cause them to be at a disadvantage in terms of strength and physique.

As a puppet creature condensed from the earth element, the height and size of the demon crocodile's body were directly controlled by the crystal core in its body. When there was a need to fight, a huge body was naturally the most advantageous. And when there was a need to pass through the underground, it could constantly adjust its body according to the characteristics of the tunnel in front of it.

When faced with some narrow and rugged tunnels, it could even shape itself into a huge rock python that slithered along the ground and easily pass through. With such a self-walking demon crocodile, the two "masters" only needed to sit steadily and pass through one cave after another. Was there anything more relaxing in this world?

In order to pass through the long and lonely journey in the dark, Grim and Mary even lit torches on the crocodile's back and studied their own witchcraft topics out of boredom. As for those blind underground creatures, they would leave them to the loyal and dutiful demon crocodile hunters!

As a result, they only spent seven hours to reach the destination, which was supposed to take them 17 hours to complete.

It was a huge karst cave filled with strangely shaped stalactites. In a low-lying corner of the karst cave, underground water flowed down from the cave wall and converged into a pool. Therefore, this place had become a lively place where the surrounding underground creatures often appeared.

Stopping in the dark karst cave, the demon crocodile's huge body looked even more ferocious and terrifying under the flickering light of the torches. Most of the underground creatures that were drinking water here were so frightened that they hid. Only a few creatures that had yet to develop enough intelligence charged at them and died there.

A pair of soft, thick, and waterproof black deerskin boots stepped on the muddy and slippery stone path. Grim walked down from the demon crocodile and pulled down his hood. His eyes, which were wearing strange goggles, slowly examined the mission location in front of him.

It was unexpectedly calm. How could this kind of mission be called a red mission?

But before he could continue his doubts, a gentle female voice suddenly came from behind him.

"As an elegant man, shouldn't you wait on a beautiful lady to get off the car?"

Grimm shuddered as he was frightened by Mary's "terrifying" voice. To be honest, he had seen Mary's ferocious and ferocious figure in battle many times. Now that she suddenly pretended to be an elegant lady in front of him, it was obvious that she was bored and wanted to tease him again.

After interacting with her for so long, he could be considered to have understood Mary's temperament.

She was an extremely dangerous and injured girl who had a strong distrust of the outside world.

Grim didn't know how Red Dress Mary survived Wizard Anderson's scary witchcraft research, but he was sure that Red Dress Mary had a split personality. One was the shy and introverted female wizard apprentice Mary, and the other was the twisted and cruel female vampire Mary. Two completely opposite personalities were squeezed into Red Dress Mary, who was full of insecurity.

She was like a psychologically twisted and perverted lady. On one hand, she wanted to use her beauty and sexiness to captivate others, but on the other hand, she couldn't suppress the desire for blood in her heart. She wanted to tear everyone into pieces and sprinkle blood all over her body.

Therefore, her actions always wavered between seduction and cruelty. A little carelessness could trigger the pain in her heart and turn her into the "Blood Queen" of her dreams!
