Report

Grimm's excessive calmness had obviously made the lizardman suspicious of the "hostage" in his hand.

But before he could do anything, Mary, who was originally weak, moved first.

Her fair and smooth body, like a swimming fish, twisted a few times and escaped from the lizardman's grasp. In a flash, Mary appeared behind the lizardman. The lizardman's limbs were numb, and his body drooped down as if he had lost the ability to resist.

Only Grimm could clearly see that the lizardman's joints, such as his wrists and ankles, had traces of blood seeping out from the dark green scales. It was obvious that Mary had used her finger blades to cut off his tendons.

This kind of injury would definitely cause an ordinary person to lose the ability to fight, but for a lizardman with a tenacious vitality and extraordinary recovery ability, it was only a minor injury. His limbs could not move, but he still had a big mouth full of jagged fangs.

Unfortunately, Mary was hiding behind him, and the lizardman tried to bite him several times but to no avail.

Just as he was about to get rid of the terrifying woman behind him, his dark green body suddenly stiffened like a robot with a power cut. At this time, Mary smiled and pulled out the sharp finger blades that were inserted into the lizardman's spine.

In close combat, Mary could directly cut off the lizardman's cervical vertebrae through the gaps between the lizardman's scales. At this moment, the lizardman had completely lost the ability to resist.

"What? Do you want to stay and see how we're going to do it? "

Mary teased Grimm, who had become a little embarrassed, while she wrapped herself around the lizardman and slowly moved her bright red mouth to his soft neck.

Beauty and the beast!

The little green man versus the vampire!

Grimm clapped his hands and wanted to see this kind of drama up close.

But when he thought of the heavy taste that was about to happen, he felt that it was wisest to temporarily avoid it. Unlike the vampire in his impression, who would gently stab their sharp teeth into the carotid artery of their lover, this Red Dress Mary obviously loved to bite.

Grimm was worried that he would lose his appetite after seeing such a horrible scene of blood mixed with broken tracheas and throats, so he could only resentfully turn around and leave.

Just as he bypassed the stalactite, he heard the terrible sound of flesh tearing from behind. He could also hear Mary's neurotic nostrils and mouth, as well as the weak wail of the unfortunate soul before his death. Grimm shuddered and quickened his pace.

After half an hour, Mary finally walked out of the restaurant leisurely while tidying up her dress.

Looking at her radiant and radiant appearance, it was hard for anyone to imagine what had happened in the past half an hour.

"Have you finished sampling the mission points?" Grimm closed his book after waiting for a long time.

"Of course it's not a problem!" Mary said proudly, tossing a rune crystal to Grim.

Grimm cast a spell to verify it before putting it into his waist pouch in satisfaction.

At the bottom of the pool, there was a small witchcraft circle set up by the Wizards of the association. Five mission points corresponded to five nodes of the witchcraft circle. Periodically, the information of the witchcraft circle would be sampled back. Even if the Wizards stayed in the Wizard Tower and did not take a step out, they would still be able to grasp the terrain and changes in the Dark Crypt during this period of time.

Therefore, Grimm's mission was to arrive at the mission point and use the special rune crystal to extract the information stored in the witchcraft circle. Apart from the missions, it was their free time to plunder and harvest rare resources.

When the team split up, they agreed to meet up in three days, which was enough time for them to plunder the resources near the mission point. Therefore, the two only spent half a day completing the mission, so they could walk around freely in the remaining time.

However, just as the two of them were leisurely strolling around, in another cavern five miles away from them, a soul-stirring battle had just begun.

Leo from the mushroom forest in Lofinhe was running with all his might. Behind him, two black-robed acolytes with the strength of a Prospective Wizard were chasing him with all their might. As for the senior acolyte, Matthew, who was with Leo, he was nowhere to be found. It was likely that he was also in danger.

Leo was indeed a young Prospective Wizard who was highly valued by his family. He had amazing talent in lightning spells that ordinary people could not hope to achieve. Although he was not known for his agility, he was surrounded by a layer of white wind particles, which made his body as light as a feather. Therefore, he could run faster than a galloping horse. If not for the twists and turns in the tunnel and the occasional stalagmite blocking the way, he would have long since escaped from his enemies.

Every time he ran past a narrow area, he would gently pull his hands together and condense a ball of blue lightning between his palms. He would casually throw the lightning behind him and continue running without looking back. And in less than ten seconds, there would be a series of furious curses and loud noises from the detonation of electric arcs behind him.

Immediately after, two figures with charred bodies rushed out of the smoke and dust against the small lightning storm. Even though they were protected by witchcraft, the all-pervasive thunderbolts still tore the black robes they were wearing into pieces.

The one on the right was wearing a pitch-black soft armour after his robe was torn to shreds. He held a snake-headed staff in his hand and had a pair of scarlet vertical pupils that made people feel fear.

"Are we still chasing him? This guy looks like he's hard to deal with! "

The black robe on the left was pulled down, revealing a middle-aged man with a sinister face. He squeezed the words out of his mouth.

"Chase him! This guy is not familiar with the terrain. We'll take care of him when he runs into a dead end. "

"Where's Anna and Gary? Why haven't they caught up yet? Do they need that much time to deal with a high-level apprentice? "The man with crimson eyes looked back and said coldly.

"They've changed their route! They've interrogated that high-level apprentice and sent us the information of the enemy's team. I'm afraid they've already gone to the weakest team in the seventh area! "Judging from the voice, the middle-aged man was the leader of the black robes.

"Damn it, I knew it would be like this! Looks like we need to work harder. If we let this guy get away, I'm afraid we'll end up with nothing today! " The man with crimson eyes clenched his teeth and slammed the snake-headed staff on the ground. His body instantly turned into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared into the wall beside him.

The leader of the black robes also sneered coldly. A black halo flashed on his body and his running speed suddenly doubled.

After a while, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly sounded from the tunnel in the distance.

A violent and ferocious shock wave spread wildly along the winding tunnel, destroying everything in its way. All the stalagmites, stalactites, sand, and soil that blocked the way were swept up and thrown outwards. Even the rock walls that were as hard as steel were hit by the arrow-like witchcraft energy. The entire tunnel was shattered into pieces by the violent explosion and collapsed section by section.

The life and death battle between the few quasi-Magus level apprentices caused devastating damage to this underground tunnel. It also affected the topography of the surrounding two to three miles to varying degrees. Large-scale collapses, collapses, and dislocations of rock strata would block some of the original tunnels, making it difficult to pass through. However, it could also create new paths. Therefore, the path was broken and there was still hope in the midst of despair.

Of course, such a huge commotion could not be hidden from all the sorcerer-apprentices in this area. Everyone found a stable place to hide themselves, silently guessing the origin of this disturbance.

In a dark and quiet cave, a large black figure suddenly emerged from the ground with a soft "pop" sound. It seemed to have occupied most of the space in the cave.

"Damn it! Why is there an earthquake here? Did those wizards not choose to avoid the active areas when they were patrolling? Damn it … "Mary's sweet and bewitching voice rang out in the darkness.

"I'm afraid this is not a natural earthquake!" Grimm's calm voice followed. His eyes were full of wisdom in the darkness. "The source of the vibration is about five miles to the southeast of us. It's at most 20 meters deeper than us. If it's an earthquake, the epicenter can't be so close to the surface. So … "

"So it's man-made!" Mary turned around and stared at Grimm. Obviously, she found it hard to believe that Grimm could maintain such a precise sense of direction and a calm mind in the dark underground. "Are you trying to say that one of our teams has encountered the enemy?"

"Very likely!" Grimm analyzed calmly. "First of all, the epicenter is so close to us. It's impossible to say that it has nothing to do with our team. Also, you've experienced the underground creatures here. Apart from a few types, most of them can't pose a threat to senior apprentices, let alone quasi wizards. So it can't be caused by a team that encountered an undefeatable underground creature. So there's only one possibility left! "

"Yes!" Mary nodded in agreement. "It should be those bastards. Now we don't know who's so unlucky to have encountered them. I really want to know how strong they are. With your magic puppet that can travel underground, we might have a chance to attack them! "

"We've been too careless this time. After all, it's our first time entering the underground. Before we get familiar with the unique environment and fighting style, we should stick together and complete the mission before thinking about splitting up. Also … "

"Also what?"

"Also, don't forget! We're the weakest among the team. If the enemy really wants to launch a sneak attack, I'm afraid they won't let us go! "

"If they won't let us go, then so be it. I also want to see how strong they are. By the way, since your earth element magic puppet is so amazing, can you sense the movements of the enemies around you? If you can help me catch a bastard, I'll spend a night with you. How about it? " After saying that, Mary's finger gently slid across Grimm's lips, and she laughed wildly without restraint.

Grimm shuddered. He could not help but feel a headache coming on from Mary's bad taste.
