Inside the camp, there were only a few rows of simple wooden houses with obvious Mizobudapi characteristics scattered around. The one on the left was taller and cleaner, and it seemed to be the residence of the guards. Compared to the tall figures of the Mizobudapi people, the capacity of these wooden houses was obviously limited. The Mission Department's claim of a defense force of about a hundred people was not groundless.
The wooden house on the other side was relatively short and looked a little shabby. There were also mining carts and other tools piled up at the door. It should be the residence of the miners. On the side of these two rows of wooden houses was a pen, and more than a dozen creatures that looked like rhinos were napping inside.
There was only one entrance, and it was at the bottom of the northern mountain wall. Even though they were far away, Wang Zhong and Grai could feel the overflowing energy aura from the mine. At the entrance of the energy cave, there were also two Mizobudapi guards on duty. However, due to the heavy rain, both of them were standing closer to the entrance of the cave. In addition, there were two teams of about ten people. They seemed to be soldiers in charge of patrolling, but due to the heavy rain, they were listlessly hiding from the rain under the eaves. Occasionally, they would whisper to each other, but under the cover of the heavy rain, they naturally couldn't hear anything.
A few dim crystal lights flickered in the campsite. Although the rainstorm here wasn't as violent as it was in the muddy swamp, it didn't stop either. The pitter-patter of the rain made the campsite seem even more tranquil.
Everything seemed normal, and the situation was similar to what they had expected. Although they had just experienced a battle of annihilation, the commander's mind was still relatively clear, and he did not give up on his guard. However, there was nothing they could do about the heavy rain. The mining camp was only the size of a palm. Even if they were patrolling, they could just stand on the eaves on both sides. There was no need for them to walk around in the rain.
This heavy rain made everyone in the swamp suffer a lot, but it also gave the two of them a rare opportunity.
There was no time to lose. Although there were guards in the cave, the two guards did not seem to be strong. If they waited until dawn, the only entrance to the mine would be filled with workers and guards. There would be no chance for them to make a move quietly.
Wang Zhong carefully observed the terrain and found a route to sneak in. He gave Grai a hand signal to sneak in, pointed to himself, and gestured for Grai to deal with the guard on the left side of the mine, then signaled for Grai to deal with the other guard.
Grai understood. Their figures flashed, and under the cover of the night and the torrential rain, they groped their way to the top of the cave's entrance.
They took their positions at the same time. With a glance, two black shadows slid down the mountain wall silently. The two guards, who had already been targeted, only felt their vision go black. Before they could react, two large hands covered their mouths at the same time and twisted fiercely at the same time.
The 2 of them were only at the level of a Swordsman, which was equivalent to 2 puny Casted Soul Souls. With Wang Zhong and Grai's skills, they were naturally unable to put up any resistance against a sneak attack. Before they could even make a sound, they had already died.
The two of them supported the bodies of the two Mizobudapi guards at the same time, using the large swords in their hands as support to maintain their standing posture. It only took them one or two breaths to complete all of this.
Everything was as usual. Under the cover of the cave's entrance, Wang Zhong glanced at the patrolling guards under the eaves outside. They still looked listless, apparently unaware of what had happened at the entrance of the energy cave.
Wang Zhong made an 'OK' gesture at Grai and pressed his palm down slightly. The two of them went deeper into the cave like ghosts. It was very quiet in the energy cave, and they could vaguely sense energy figures near and far. However, their strength was probably at the Casted Soul Stage. It was most likely that the KD Squadron had attracted the enemy's attention. Wang Zhong and Grai looked at each other and didn't know what to say.
On both sides of the cave passage, they could see large and small hollowed out depressions. Some were round and some were diamond-shaped. The small ones were the size of pebbles, while the big ones were the size of buckets. These were all raw ores that needed to be processed before they could be used. These ores also formed the energy base of the Mizobudapi people, similar to the oil of the previous civilization and the Soul Crystals of this era. However, there were no signs of workers in the mining area, which was a little strange. The two of them went more than three hundred meters deep. Using their spiritual search, they could still sense the boundlessness of this energy cave. This was a natural crypt structure, larger than the ones discovered by the Federation. From the outside, it was impossible to tell at all. It was possible that they had found an important mining area of the enemy.
The two of them could see the doubt in each other's eyes. How could there be no workers here during the period of war? Rest? What other reasons could there be?
No matter what, the two of them had spent a lot of effort to come here, so it was impossible for them to return empty-handed. They could only continue to go deeper. Although C 'Thun's Stink Bomb was very powerful, it had to be detonated in the depths of such a large mining area. The two of them didn't waste any time and moved forward quickly. C' Thun's Stink Bomb had a timer function. As long as they unlocked it with Soul Power, it would explode after five minutes. With their speed, it was enough for them to escape.
At this time, they could feel that they had entered a deeper part of the energy cave, and the energy reaction around them was getting stronger. The two of them could already see the energy crystals exposed on the cave walls, which were emitting a soft light. The colorful light embellished the entire dark cave, making it look dreamy and beautiful.
In front of them was different from the narrow passageways that they had passed through before. There was a big hole here, and there were openings in all directions that led to deeper parts of the cave. This was obviously the central point of a mine tunnel. Wang Zhong estimated the distance to return to the exit from this central point. If he activated his Speed Circuit and sprinted at full speed, he would be able to rush out in about five minutes. With the cover of the heavy rain outside, when C 'Thun's Stink Bomb exploded, he and Grai would probably be far away.
This was the ideal explosion point that the two of them had been looking for. The two of them nodded. The whole plan was quite smooth, and everything seemed to be going smoothly. A knowing smile finally appeared on Wang Zhong and Grai's faces. Wang Zhong was about to take out C 'Thun's Stink Bomb from his space bracelet when he suddenly felt a slight strange sound behind him.
It was the deliberate sound of footsteps, as if someone was taking the initiative to attract Wang Zhong and Grai's attention. A warning sign exploded in their minds.
The two of them turned their heads abruptly, only to see a cold glint flash before their eyes. That cold glint was like a bolt of lightning that streaked across the night sky. It was exceptionally dazzling in the colourful energy cavern. Furthermore, it did not make a single sound.
At this moment, all the hair on his body stood on end. Almost instinctively, Grai's figure turned red, and his skin and body turned blood-red in an instant. Then, he became invisible.
Blood Shadow!
This was the Blood Race's most powerful life-saving technique. His reaction speed was already extremely fast, but he was still a step too slow. Before his figure could dissipate, the chilling light had already pierced through his body. The remnant might passed through his fading body and shot into the wall of the energy cave behind Grai, leaving behind a sword scar that had penetrated through the wall and light could be seen!
Meanwhile, Grai, who was in a half-blood mist state in mid-air, was instantly pushed back by the powerful inertia. His body was directly knocked out of the Blood Shadow state. With a muffled groan, he stumbled back a dozen steps. The left side of his chest was directly split open, and a huge wound stretched from his left shoulder to his chest. Countless amounts of blood spurted out, and the broken ribs were overturned!
Wang Zhong immediately stood in front of Grai. It was over. As expected, he couldn't rely on luck. This was a trap set by the enemy!
Tap, tap, tap …
The sound of footsteps could be heard slowly, as if someone was taking a leisurely stroll. In just three to five steps, a Mizobudapi person had already appeared at the entrance of the cave.
Unlike the strong warriors they saw in the mining camp, this Mizobudapi person wasn't tall. He was about 1.8 meters tall and slightly thin. He was comparable to a normal human, but his clothes were extremely exquisite. The Mizobudapi World was not a poor world. Their civilization was longer than that of humans, and they were quite particular about the way they dressed. The Mizobudapi person in front of them was the most gorgeous Mizobudapi person they had ever seen.
The dazzling golden armor was engraved with smooth and beautiful patterns. Even Earthlings who didn't understand it would feel a sense of beauty when they saw it. The long tentacles on his head weren't as messy as those of ordinary warriors. Instead, they were tied together by a golden hair band with strong energy fluctuations. Every tentacle was crystal clear, and there were countless blue streams of light constantly shuttling back and forth between the tentacles, shining on his golden light armor. It was extremely dazzling.
What was even more special was the long sword in his hand. Not to mention the crystal clear and slender sword blade, there was a pendant made of two small golden swords hanging on the hilt of the sword.
Wang Zhong and Grai's expressions changed instantly. Although they had already sensed that this person must be very strong based on the sword strike just now, they still didn't expect that it would be the worst case scenario.
After the landing battle and various intelligence reconnaissance by the Holy City Army during this period, they still knew the characteristics of the main stages of the Mizobudapi people's strength. In addition to the sense of oppression and the judgment of strength in actual combat, the Mizobudapi people's ranks were also very strict. The color was a more direct distinction. The color was used according to the rank, and the punishment for skipping a rank was very severe.
Gray was the lowest Swordsman, silver was the Great Swordsman, and gold only belonged to a certain rank.
Sword Saint!
But how could a Sword Saint suddenly appear here?!
At the level of Sword Saint, he was definitely the core strength of the Mizobudapi people. In this situation where the flames of war were raging and all sides were in a tight situation, shouldn't the Sword Saint, who was the core of the Mizobudapi people, be guarding those large cities or dangerous passes?
Was this just an energy cave?! Moreover, they were less than 400 kilometers away from the human's headquarters. How dare they send a Sword Saint to stay here so openly? Weren't they afraid that the humans would mobilize their forces to catch them?
One had to know that the goal of the top exploration teams was to hunt down a Sword Saint. If necessary, they would even send Great Teachers to help them. Killing a Sword Saint was definitely a great contribution in the Holy War.
"Grai!" Wang Zhong immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. The more critical the situation was, the more he needed to keep a clear head. "Go first and send the news back!"
This was not the time to delay. The opportunity was fleeting. As Wang Zhong spoke, he turned his wrist, and a burst of Soul Power erupted.
He placed his left hand on his right hand, and the runic array on his right hand roared. As soon as it was activated, the embryonic form of a fire phoenix appeared in the runic array. A circular runic array bloomed from Wang Zhong's hand, brimming with the aesthetic art of war.
"Power of Words — Phoenix Rises to Ninth Heaven!"
Boom!
A blazing phoenix flew out from Wang Zhong's palm, and the surging energy whistled through the cave. After all, this was the Mizobudapi Phoenix World, and they had a special worship complex for the phoenix totem. The Sword Saint was slightly stunned.
In the blink of an eye, the fire phoenix had arrived in front of him.
However, he didn't dodge. He raised the long sword in his hand slightly, and a cold light pierced through it, directly splitting the fire phoenix that was formed from energy in half. The overflowing energy should have had extremely strong destructive power, but at this time, it was like a leaking balloon. It didn't even cause a ripple before it turned into sparks of fire and dissipated in the air.
In the dissipation of the fire, the two ants in the cave had disappeared, but a playful smile flashed on the Sword Saint's face.
"Can you run away?" He actually spoke the human language with a hint of mockery, causing the entire cave to tremble.
These two humans weren't stupid. They took advantage of the moment of the attack just now to split up. One ran out of the cave, and the other went into the cave. Did they want him to chase only one of them? They were really thinking too much.
He only needed to chase one of them, the one who went into the cave and wasn't injured. As for the other one, even if he was lucky enough to avoid being injured, did he really think that he could survive? Moreover, the entrance of the cave was not empty.
Humans were just a kind of lowly creature. They were only where they were today because they were lucky enough to seize the Holy Land. They were full of the arrogance and self-righteousness of nouveau riche. It was still unknown who was the hunter and who was the prey!
The Sword Saint lifted his feet and moved forward lightly, as if he had teleported a large distance in an instant. His posture was leisurely and relaxed, like a cat playing with a mouse.
The one who rushed out was dead, but he wanted to play with the one who was inside!
…
The moment he rushed out from the Sword Saint's side, Grai felt that the other party seemed to look at him as if he was looking at a dead person. The other party had a faint playful smile, as if he didn't care that he was running away.
This glance made his heart palpitate, and he also smelled a strong scent of death. This made him feel even more afraid than when the other party intercepted him. This Mizobudapi person was too strong. It wasn't that he ran fast, and it wasn't that Wang Zhong had attracted the other party's attention. It was that the other party didn't want to stop him at all …
He knew why this was the case. There was still a bit of his opponent's sword aura left in that terrifyingly large wound, and it was like poison that was violently preventing it from healing. If he was in perfect condition, he might have been able to deal with this bit of sword aura. However, at this moment, the severe loss of blood had consumed too much of his soul power and stamina. The Blood Tribe wasn't immortal, and that sword wound wasn't something that he could deal with.
