Not long after they entered the fourth level, Brando suddenly heard Scarlett whisper, "My Lord."
"What's wrong?"
"Let me try." The girl's voice was almost inaudible.
Brando looked down and found that the body of an oracle was indeed worthy of its reputation. Although she had lost her strength, her body's recovery ability was still much stronger than the average person. Brando saw that the wound on her thigh had stopped bleeding and formed a scab.
He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is it okay?"
But under the girl's insistence, Brando finally helped her down. Scarlett frowned slightly when her feet touched the ground, but after a while, she stood steadily. Although she was a little slow, she could barely walk by herself with the support of the Lightning Spear.
After discovering this, Scarlett seemed to be a little happy. She happily raised her head and smiled at Brando. "My Lord!" Brando rarely saw such a heartfelt smile from Scarlett. He could not help but be slightly startled.
But the latter quickly realized that she had lost her composure and turned her head away.
Brando actually thought that the red-haired girl looked pretty when she smiled, but of course, he would never say that out loud. The two maintained their silence as they walked through the low tunnel. Not long after, Brando suddenly saw a faint white thing in the darkness ahead. He softly exclaimed in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Scarlett asked from behind.
"There seems to be something." Brando explained in a low voice. He knew that Scarlett's vision was no different from that of an ordinary person. In this environment, it was difficult to see far away. Although there was an illuminating crystal, the light was too bad.
He pulled out his sword with one hand and slowly walked over with the girl. Finally, he saw that it was a person lying on the ground. It seemed to be a miner here. He carefully looked at the person and did not find any obvious wounds on his body.
"He's not dead yet." Scarlett looked at the person and immediately judged.
Brando also saw that the person's chest was rising and falling slightly. It seemed that he had just fainted. He nodded and tried to shout, but did not wake up. So he pulled out the cork on the water bag and flicked some water on the person's forehead.
Considering that they did not know how long they would be trapped underground, and the amount of fresh water they had with them was limited, Brando subconsciously lightened his movements.
Fortunately, his method worked quickly. The miner didn't seem to have suffered any injuries, and he quickly blinked and woke up.
But as soon as it opened its eyes and saw the two of them, it subconsciously shrank back and crashed into the cold rock wall. Brando looked at his uneasy expression and hurriedly said, "We are also from here. You don't have to worry."
The miner was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. He took a deep breath and looked at the two of them carefully before he calmed down and asked, "Are you in charge? Supervisor? Or are they from the guards? " He saw Brando's sword and Scarlett's halberd. In this mine, only the supervisors and soldiers would carry weapons, but Brando and Scarlett were not wearing the guards' uniform, so they looked more like the latter.
"We are from the guards." Brando knew that the miner knew almost every foreman, so he answered.
The man was obviously relieved, but he quickly became nervous again. "Did you also encounter a monster?" He saw the blood on Scarlett's body.
"Monster?" Brando looked back and exchanged glances with Scarlett.
The monster here was probably the Wind Spirit Spiders that he had summoned. But he frowned and asked, "What kind of monster?" Brando had used the Wind Spirit Spiders to scout the way on the third floor, but Brando instinctively felt that things were not that simple.
"Stone statue, a monster that looks like a stone statue. Martha above!"
"A monster that looks like a stone statue?" Scarlett squatted down beside Brando and asked softly.
Stone statue? Brando thought that there were many monsters in Wohnde in the form of rocks, and the typical ones were the Gargoyle Sentinels and War Golems made by the Buga Wizards. But considering the environment here, it was more likely that it was a stone elemental.
Brando thought for a moment and comforted the miner, "Don't be afraid. We are here. Slowly think about what the monsters looked like. Were they humanoid? Or were they beast-shaped? "
The miner took a deep breath and said, "They looked like beasts, but they were all made of rocks. Sir, I swear I didn't see wrong!"
"Beast-shaped? Did they have wings? "
"No!" The miner answered without hesitation.
Brando was puzzled. He had never heard of such monsters in the form of rocks. Although there were many kinds of monsters and monsters in Wohnde, most of them could be traced back to their origins. For example, monsters in the form of soil and rocks were either magic golems or related to the Earth Elemental World. But except for the Gargoyle Sentinels, beast-shaped monsters were very rare.
The creatures in the Earth Elemental World were mostly insect-shaped.
But when he saw that the miner was suspicious again, he quickly calmed him down and asked, "Is there anyone else here other than you?" He knew that the miners usually entered the mine in groups.
The miner gulped as if he just remembered something. He quickly nodded and said, "Yes," he said, "I came with my group, but we were separated when we encountered the monsters."
He could not help but look into the depths of the cave and said with uncertainty, "I don't know where they went. I don't know if they are still alive. The monsters might have gone after them …"
He seemed to be relieved, but he was also a little scared.
"Right," the miner suddenly remembered something, "Lord Mahan is here too."
"Lord Mahan?"
"You don't know him?" The miner was slightly stunned. "He is the foreman of this area. I heard that he used to be in the army. His swordsmanship is very good. When the earthquake started, he said that he would go to the front to take a look, and then the monsters appeared. "
Brando was speechless. He almost let the cat out of the bag when he asked. Fortunately, the miner was not very vigilant when he saw 'his own people'.
But Scarlet frowned slightly. "Didn't the collapse start in an instant when the earthquake started? Also, why did he go to the front to take a look?"
As someone who became a mercenary at a very young age, her way of thinking was much sharper than Brando's.
Brando heard her and reacted, "You're right. Shouldn't he be looking for a safe place to hide?"
"No, no, no," the miner quickly waved his hand, "The earthquake wasn't that bad at first, and the rock layer below is relatively sturdy, so the collapse wasn't that bad. The thing is, the earthquake came from the south. Didn't you feel it? "
The earthquake came from the south.
This unexpected information made Brando react. It seemed that his guess was not far from the truth. There was indeed something incredible that was dug out from the Schafflund Mine. But even though he did not know them, he was still worried for Cohen and the other youths. They must be dead by now. Brando could not help but sigh.
"It doesn't seem to be an earthquake," Scarlet whispered, "My lord."
Brando had already made up his mind to go to the front to take a look. Even though the Silver Legacy was not as rare as the Golden Apple, it was still a rare item. But with such a valuable reward, the mission would not be so simple.
He suddenly interrupted Scarlet and put a finger to his lips, "Shhh."
The tunnel quieted down, and only the miner's heavy breathing could be heard. But soon, Scarlet and the miner heard a rustling sound coming from the south. It was as if something was moving close to the ground.
"They're here."
The miner's face turned pale in an instant.
But Brendel put down his sword with some doubts in his heart. There were many things coming, but these slightly heavy footsteps didn't sound like they were anything powerful.
But soon, the monsters that the miner spoke of appeared one by one. The first to appear was a grey-white feline. It gracefully stepped into the light of the illuminating crystal and stared at Brando with a pair of eyes that looked like gray gemstones.
No, it should be said that it was a pair of gray gemstones.
This was because the slender feline was actually a stone statue. A living stone statue with gray crystals as its eyes.
Brando immediately understood when he saw this thing. It was not a monster in the form of a rock. It was a summoned creature. To be more precise, it was a creature formed from the Earth Elemental.
As for what form it took, it was entirely up to the summoner's will.
But Brando was slightly taken aback. "There's an Elven Summoner down there?" This thought flashed through his mind. "Or is there something controlling these creatures unconsciously?"
It seemed that the latter possibility was much more obvious. But if it was a piece of equipment with self-consciousness, even if it had no intelligence, it would be at least Fantasy level or above.
And it might even be an extremely high Fantasy level.
When Brando thought of this, he suddenly burst into tears. He thought that since he came to this world, he could finally see high-level equipment for the first time.
As he thought of this, more and more felines appeared in the darkness. There were more than ten of them, and there were a few pairs of shimmering eyes swaying beyond the boundary of light.
More than twenty Rock Panthers had formed a semicircular encirclement around them.
Brando did not panic at all. He stepped forward and put down his sword. "Stay back, Scarlet."
Scarlet grabbed the miner who was so scared that his legs went soft and was about to roll and crawl away. Then she turned back and nodded at Brando, and obediently stepped back a little. She knew that she did not have any power now. At most, she relied on her strength as an Oracle to be slightly stronger than ordinary people. If she stayed on the front line, she could only interfere with Brando's actions.
However, although she had lost her power, her vision was still there. She had already seen that these big Rock Panthers did not seem to be a threat, especially to Brando.
