Report

The biggest advantage of having the A.I. Chip was its vast knowledge.

After a short pause, the A.I. Chip had already picked out the most suitable set of etiquette from countless human nobles and projected it into Grimm's mind.

Grimm bowed respectfully and half-knelt in front of Mary. She held his hand and stepped on his knee to get off the magic crocodile.

Mary was obviously very satisfied with Grimm's tactfulness. She turned around gracefully, her soft and beautiful red dress accentuating her soft and tender skin. Under the dim light of the torches, her skin was dazzling.

"The environment here is not bad. Let me take a bath. Then I'll have to trouble the noble knight to guard the perimeter! "Mary commanded, looking like a noble lady with her head held high.

"Everything is as you wish!"

Grimm was obviously more familiar with this kind of little girl role-playing game than Mary. After placing his hand on his chest and bowing, he left the vicinity of the pool and led the magic crocodile hunter to patrol the surroundings.

They were here to complete a mission, and the mission point was in the pool. So, after leaving Mary at the pool, Grimm could not help but look for the greatest benefit of this trip.

The reason why the Gloomy Crypt was so famous was because it produced some special resources that could not be found on the surface. For example, the Ghost Mushroom.

The Ghost Mushroom was a white mushroom with a body that was in between a solid and incorporeal form. It was one of the main ingredients for making invisibility potions and enchantments for the Shadow's Youth. This kind of Ghost Mushroom liked the shade and could devour negative energy, so it was often associated with spirits. Normal people would not be able to see it. Only acolytes with extraordinary strength like Grimm had the right to mine it.

Before coming here, the Magus Angus who had given them the mission had specifically mentioned this. If the acolytes could mine some Ghost Mushrooms while completing their mission, he could buy them at a decent price. From this, Grimm was certain that the Magus Angus was also a Potioneering Master.

Therefore, Grimm was very enthusiastic about this kind of work that he could do along the way. After all, he had used up all the resources he had in the past few years for this trip. At this moment, apart from some essential casting materials and travel items, the only wealth he had in his pouch was the three magical crystals.

This amount of magical crystals couldn't buy anything good here.



While Grim was walking further and further away, Mary had already arrived at the edge of the pond with light steps.

In the dark and quiet depths of the underground, everything was shrouded in oppressive, oppressive, and boundless darkness. From time to time, some faintly discernible sounds could be heard, echoing in the twisting and winding karst cave.

If it was an ordinary person, they would have already screamed in fright from the eerie and terrifying environment here. But Mary stuck the torch in a crack in the rock beside the pool and hummed a lively tune. With a slight shake of her shoulders, she took off her thin red dress, arched her perfectly curved feet to test the water, and then jumped in with a cheer.

Water splashed everywhere, and a beautiful body was faintly discernible. If it wasn't for the limited environment, this place would definitely be a warm, charming, and beautiful fairyland.

But just as Mary was happily playing in the water, a pair of strange eyes opened at a place on the top of the cave where the torches could not reach.

This was clearly a pair of eyes belonging to an intelligent creature, and there was even a hint of confusion and wandering in its nimble movements.

To be honest, in this dark underground world full of slaughter and blood, everything was separated from beauty and warmth. Although "he" had heard about the peaceful and free life on the surface from books and the oral accounts of travelers, "he" did not believe it at all.

With the terrifying evil of human sorcerers, under their cruel and powerful rule, how could humans on the surface have so-called freedom and peace? All of this must be a lie spread by the sorcerers to lure the cowardly clansmen into the trap!

"He", who had this belief, could not help but feel a little puzzled when he suddenly saw a beautiful girl swimming in the water in the hunting range.

Having seen too many human sorcerer-apprentices' cruelty, he had a strong intuition of danger towards sorcerer-apprentices. Therefore, without a sound, he passed through the dark cave top where the torches could not reach, and slowly moved towards the beautiful trap.

His delicate and flexible body endowed him with far more dexterity than ordinary people. Even on the cave wall covered with slippery moss, he could move freely without making any sound. Like an eight-clawed spider hunting in the dark, he slipped to the surface through the cracks in the rock wall. Using the high and low stalagmites and stalactites as cover, he silently touched the edge of the pool.

At this time, Mary had already finished swimming freely. She sat cross-legged on a bluestone at the edge of the pool, gently and slowly drying her long hair. Her long black hair was like a cloud hanging loosely on her body, covering the infinite beauty of her chest, making people feel deeply regretful!

The human figure in the dark secretly touched the area where Mary had taken off her clothes. After searching for a long time, he did not find anything similar to a sorcerer's artifact or a storage pouch.

Could it be that she was not a sorcerer-apprentice?

Stealing a glance at that faintly discernible beautiful body, he could not help but swallow his saliva in the dark, and his mind became a little active.

Regardless of whether she was a sorcerer-apprentice or not, if such a high quality goods were to be transported to Blissful City, he would definitely be able to sell it for a good price. This way, he would no longer have to run around for the next ten years, day and night in this oppressive and maddening underground passage to make a living.

The one who left just now was definitely a sorcerer-apprentice, unexpectedly being able to control such a terrifying giant puppet beast, it was obviously not something an underground hunter like him could deal with. Moreover, this woman did not reveal any outstanding traits from beginning to end, and it was extremely likely that she was only a concubine brought along by that male sorcerer. If this was really the case, relying on his own skills, there was really a possibility that he could kidnap her.

Making up his mind, the black figure hid behind the bluestone that Ghango was leaning on, and secretly opened the leather pouch at his waist. A green figure the size of a palm crawled out from inside, and quickly crawled along the rugged rocks toward Ghango.

A moment later, following a delicate cry, the black figure quickly pounced out like lightning, and two dark green dull curved knives were placed on Mary's neck at lightning speed.

The small green lizard loosened its mouth, and coiled around Mary's delicate body, constantly flicking its long tongue. It ruthlessly bit Mary's perky buttocks, and a small wound there was slowly flowing green juice. Her body was paralyzed, and she seemed to be on the verge of collapsing.

The black figure had no choice but to let go of one of his hands to support Mary's crooked body, otherwise this naked beauty would have slipped into the pool.

"You have to support her properly, if you really break her skin, you will definitely end up very, very badly!" A low but steady male voice suddenly sounded, and the black figure was truly startled.

At some unknown time, Grim had already returned from afar, and was leaning on a stalactite that led straight to the top of the cave, observing the scene in front of him with a face full of smiles. Behind him, the terrifying demon crocodile hunter was walking out of the darkness step by step, but strangely, there was not even a trace of the heavy footsteps that a large creature should have.

This scene was clearly somewhat out of the black figure's expectations. He slid forward, and most of his body was curled up behind Mary's back, one hand holding the curved blade across her neck, the other grabbing her arm, as if the hostage was in his hands.

What made him extremely surprised was that the male acolyte who had suddenly returned did not seem to have any intention of saving his female companion, but instead looked as if he was interested in watching a good show.

"Her … life … is in my hands, you … don't … act rashly!" The black figure spoke in the Sarrus language, which was different from the common human language, but this did not prevent Grim from completely understanding what he was saying. With the help of the A.I. Chip, language was probably the easiest subject for Grim to learn.

Grimm leaned against the rock pillar, observing everything in the field from afar.

Mary's stunning and alluring body was especially pleasing to the eye, and he naturally would not let go of such an opportunity to openly admire it. Moreover, the sudden appearance of this' underground creature 'also attracted his attention, and he continued to observe it.

[Beep, biological scan completed. Matching creature type found in the biological database, would you like to display it?]

"Display!"

Following the flow of data, information about the creature in front of him appeared in Grim's mind.

Lizardmen, one of the intelligent subterranean creatures. They had the bloodline of a lizard and a human, and were a type of mutated creature. These creatures usually had the ability to move stealthily, and they could freely control their body temperature. In the darkness of the subterranean world, they appeared as assassins in various large regions.

Lizardmen?

As Grim sorted out the information in his mind, he silently matched the black figure in front of him with the information in his mind.

The skinny humanoid body was not wearing any clothes, and its exposed skin was covered in dark green lumps and rough skin. The hand holding the curved blade only had four fingers, and between the fingers was a wrinkled transparent membrane. The sharp nails were long and curved, like a sharp blade.

The ugly face looked like a human, but it had the same facial features as a human. However, the skin was too dark, and the expression could not be seen clearly. The transparent eyelids opened and closed continuously, and the bulging eyes could freely focus and look in any direction.

Judging from the voice, it should be a male. No, it should be a male.

Alright, alright, let's not dwell on that. In short, this was an ugly fellow that Grim hated the moment he saw him.

Especially when he recklessly went to kidnap Mary!

Grimm added in his mind.

If not for the great convenience given to him by the environment, a Lizardman like this would only be at the level of an intermediate acolyte. Just him alone wanted to kidnap the terrifying Red Dress Mary?

Grim had a faint smile on his face. He really did not know if he should mourn for his luck or misfortune.
