Mine No.7 was a bloodstone mine located deeper in the mission site.
There, a special mineral called bloodstone was the most commonly produced. This thing itself was not very useful, but it was often used as a catalyst for various witchcraft experiments. In particular, bloodstone powder had an obvious effect on purifying magic potions, so it was very popular in the underground market everywhere.
However, the reason the training camp sent Kevin's team there for a surprise attack was obviously not for a mere bloodstone mine, but for another kind of raw gemstone ore that was associated with the bloodstone mine – blood garnet. As a raw gemstone ore, once it fell into the hands of some jewelry masters, it could be processed into a variety of magical accessories. They would try every possible way to draw out the mysterious power contained within the gemstone, and the magical accessories made from it would have some incredible power.
For example, the recovery earrings that Grim had sold before were made from a magical gemstone called Emerald Olive.
Bloodstone ores, even elementary bloodstones that had undergone preliminary refinement, were worth no more than 10 magic crystals per kilogram in the underground market. In order to make a fortune by robbing them, the elite apprentices of the training camp would need to prepare a long underground caravan to transport them away.
On the other hand, each raw blood garnet was only the size of an egg, but a large group of chambers of commerce and wizard families were willing to buy it at the price of 200 magic crystals per kilogram. Therefore, after comparing the two, Bald Fu decided to raid Mine No.7 to plunder the blood garnets that had been stored there for half a month, instead of the overly heavy and cheap bloodstone ores.
In the past, the underground attacks were more like a game of chess.
The resource points and ore points occupied by both sides were almost constant, and the general strength of the other side was also clear at a glance. So today, you lead a team to raid my resource point, and tomorrow, I will lead a team to intercept and kill your mission team halfway. Both sides fought back and forth in this dark and deep underground tunnel, killing each other until the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and blood flowed like a river.
However, there was one thing that both sides abided by very well, and there had never been any violations. That was, fighting was one thing, but no malicious destruction of resource points or ore points was allowed!
Seriously speaking, a considerable part of the profits of surface wizards and fallen wizards were pinned on these continuously mined resources and minerals. Once someone set a bad example and destroyed the other party's resource point, it would be very difficult to protect their own resource point. Therefore, in order to prevent the two sides from breaking up, the two sides condensed these unwritten rules that could not be written down in the hundreds of years of competition.
You can snatch the resources, but as long as the elite apprentices you send out can defeat our guardian, the resources will be yours. But destroying resources and the environment was not allowed! Anyone who maliciously destroyed a resource point would be hunted down by the Magi from both sides.
Therefore, taking advantage of the short 200-meter journey, Grimm cautiously moved forward while telling Mary about the underground situation he knew. He had already made up his mind. He decided to use this trip to the Underworld to pull Mary into Kevin's team and help her become an Elite Apprentice as soon as possible.
However, in order to achieve this, Mary needed to perform well in the raid on Mine No. 7. According to what Kevin said, the training camp had already started to get in touch with the quasi-witch named Sabrina. As for the other members, before they displayed their extraordinary strength, they were just objects to be observed. They were not enough to pique Ah Fu's interest.
When the team first arrived, there were three Prospective Wizards!
Now, Grim was considered a member of the training camp, and Sabrina was in the process of being contacted. As for the other two Prospective Wizards, Leo and Marcus, they were not in Ah Fu's eyes at all. Therefore, if Mary wanted to enter the training camp, she had to at least perform well in the underground raid.
To be honest, she did not need Grim to encourage her. Ever since she heard that the damn training camp had pulled Grimm into it without her participation, Mary was already in a state of rage. However, for someone as temperamental as her, the more angry she was, the brighter her smile would be.
Perhaps she would only reveal her true colors when she hunted for food!
…
This was a quiet and deep underground cave!
Not long after it calmed down, five strange figures of different heights broke into the cave again.
The person in the lead was tall and strong, surrounded by a light blue halo of ice crystals. Wherever he passed, the damp air was frozen by the sudden drop of the cold current and ice shards fell off.
He was obviously the leader of the five. Facing the empty underground cave, his angry roar echoed in the quiet cave.
"Where are they? Didn't they say someone broke in? Then where are they? "
Judging from his low and hoarse voice, it was the Prospective Wizard, Langdon.
"Langdon, don't be impatient. Since we promised to avenge you, we will not give up halfway. Today's incident is strange. We need to think about it, "one of the black-robed men could not help but speak up.
"Yes, yes! Today's incident is really strange. Since we got the news, we have been waiting for them. No matter which way they came to this mission point, they can't hide from us. But … "Another black-robed man voiced out his doubts.
"But they strangely went around our interception net. Gary, is he the Junior Wizard Apprentice you mentioned last time who can travel freely underground? "the third black-robed man asked calmly.
Hearing this, Langdon, who was leading the group, paused for a moment. The chill in the air grew even heavier. Immediately after, Langdon's cold roar sounded in the cave, "The elemental aura here has not completely dissipated, which means they just left. If we move fast, we might be able to stop them. Felix, it's all up to you now! "
Felix, who was named by Langdon, was also a Prospective Wizard. It could be said that all the people Langdon had brought here today were Prospective Wizards.
Being able to bring four Prospective Wizard Apprentices to help him take revenge was enough to show that Langdon's strength was extraordinary. However, to be more precise, everyone had gladly accepted such a dangerous mission for the sake of the teacher behind him.
And those who could be respected by a group of Prospective Wizards were, of course, the famous Fallen Wizards in Elysium City!
Black Light! There was no one in Elysium City who did not know of this name. As a powerful Fallen Wizard, even in the Gloomy Crypt, the name Black Light was well known. As his disciple, Langdon was also a very influential figure among the Fallen Acolytes in Elysium City.
Although Felix was a little unwilling to be named, Felix still stood out.
"All of you, gather around me!" Felix ordered coldly. He gently inserted the long staff in his hand into the hard stone floor beneath his feet.
With the continuous influx of earth elemental energy, the fist-sized earthen yellow crystal at the tip of the staff emitted a dazzling elemental glow. Under the cover of the elemental glow, a faintly discernible and mysterious spell formation appeared on the floor beneath everyone's feet.
"Everyone, gather together. We're about to teleport over!"
Hearing Felix's reminder, everyone gathered around him, placing themselves within the range of the mysterious spell formation.
"Prepare yourselves. Do not resist the earth elemental teleportation. Go! "
Following Felix's shout, the mysterious spell formation beneath their feet suddenly surged with an uncountable amount of earth elemental energy. The earth elemental energy was so dense that it resembled smoke and fog. It wrapped around them, and as a strange earthen yellow ring of light swept past, the smoke suddenly solidified and instantly enveloped them into mud statues.
The moment the mysterious spell formation disappeared, the five clay sculptures crumbled, turning into mud and dregs on the ground. Not a trace of flesh could be seen within the disintegrated mud statues. The five Quasi Wizards had completely disappeared.
… …
Langdon had miscalculated and thought that Grimm would be eager to return to the surface after completing his mission. He had actually gone in the wrong direction and went to find trouble with Sabrina and the others.
While the five Fallen Quasi Wizards had directly escaped to the upper passageway close to the surface with Felix's Terra Teleportation spell, Grimm and Mary were lurking around the deeper part of Mine Number 7.
The other members of Kevin's team had not arrived yet, so Grimm and Mary cooperated and began to investigate the surroundings of the mine.
Grimm was responsible for sending Mary into the mine using the stealth ability of the Demon Crocodile Hunter. Mary, on the other hand, transformed into a vampire bat that flew noiselessly, trampling through the entire mine. What was even more ridiculous was that Mary, who had swaggered through the area, had clearly memorized all the tunnels, miners, and the positions of the Fallen Acolyte Guardian Squad. She had even stored the information in a Photographic Crystal.
Therefore, when Kevin and the other five members rushed to the hidden rendezvous point, what they saw was this clear three-dimensional image of the mine pit.
The miners were the Ratfolk of the Underground race. There were about 200 Ratfolk miners in the entire Mine Number 7, and the guards were 17 Underground mercenaries and 6 fallen apprentices. During the attack, the Ratfolk wouldn't participate in the battle at all. Therefore, when planning, they only needed to consider the defensive forces.
After all, for these Ratfolk, no matter who controlled the mine, they would obey orders. As long as there was a sufficient daily supply of food, they did not care who they were serving!
Looking at the panoramic view of the mine provided by the two newcomers, Kevin could not help but feel a chill run down his spine.
Grimm's ability was like a bug. In the underground world, as long as there was no protective spell formation, he could go in and out. It was impossible to guard against him. Mary's vampire bat transformation was also very elusive. No one would be able to guard against a cold-blooded creature that could crawl along the top of the wall. But everything the other party had set up could not hide from the Vampire's infrared vision and life perception.
