Brian struggled to pull his head out and jumped down. His face was pale as he clutched his crotch. "Thank goodness I already have a child …"
Brian was shocked when he noticed the strange look in Tang En's eyes. "It's not broken, it's still working! But it almost exploded … What's with that look in your eyes?! "
"It's nothing … I just didn't expect you to have practiced the Iron Shield Technique."
"What's that?"
"It's a technique that increases the defense of your vital parts. It's very difficult to practice."
"Oh?!"
Brian's eyes lit up. "You know how to do it?! Teach me! "
"Sure." Tang En's smile became even more strange. "Tomorrow, find Depp or Locke and let them kick your crotch a thousand times a day for ten years. If it doesn't explode, then you've mastered it."
Brian admitted defeat without hesitation.
"My Lord."
Locke was still a little shaken. He whispered, "Why do I feel that the thing that appeared later might be the real Shadow Lurker?"
Tang En nodded. "Maybe. How's the battle situation?"
"Twelve people are seriously injured and forty-four have minor injuries. The seriously injured have taken the Blood of the Goddess and have recovered. It won't affect the rest of the battle. The lightly injured are being bandaged. It'll take about ten more minutes.
Tang En was quite satisfied with the results. The number of injured was within an acceptable range and there were no deaths. For the Ellington Guards who faced a large major monster for the first time, this was a good result.
"Get everyone bandaged as soon as possible. This is a windy area and stalactites could fall at any time. It's not suitable for resting."
After a pause, Tang En pointed to the front and asked, "Locke, what are your comrades doing?"
Locke's former comrades were busy cutting up the spider's carcass. They were yelling at each other with great interest.
"Oh, they're cutting up the spider's meat."
He smiled and said, "If it weren't for the fact that its legs are too big, I would have made you a crispy spider leg."
Tang En's face immediately turned pale. "Forget it."
Locke still wanted to let Tang En try it. He pointed to the snow-white spider meat that they had picked out and said, "My Lord, don't be fooled by its ugly appearance. As long as you avoid the poison glands, it's actually a non-poisonous delicacy. It's just like crab meat."
Tang En shook his head with an ugly expression. He decided not to eat crabs for at least a year.
Locke shrugged. He couldn't quite understand Tang En's thoughts. For mercenaries like them, many things could be turned into food, and spider meat was actually quite a rare delicacy.
The magic core of the spider was gone. It was most likely swallowed by the parasitic magic beast, the Shadow Lurker. This made Tang En feel a bit regretful. He wanted to see the difference between the magic cores of magic beasts in the underground world and those in the surface world.
"Eh? It's you? "
After seeing the unlucky adventurer, Tang En froze for a moment. This unlucky fellow was none other than the boorish man who had been knocked unconscious by him and was the first to enter the mine.
He froze for a moment. "You know me?"
The first time, he was knocked out without seeing Tang En. The second time, Tang En transformed, so Tang En knew him, but he didn't know Tang En.
After drinking some water and eating some food, the man felt much better. However, his temper was not as bad as before. Perhaps this near-death experience would change his life.
Locke said, "This is the Lord of Ellington."
"Lord … Lord!?"
The burly man seemed to remember something and stammered, "So that day, it was you …"
"Yes, it was me."
"I-I'm sorry! I-I really didn't know — "
Tang En waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about the past. You're the first batch of adventurers to enter here. What's your name? Tell me what you encountered after entering the underground world. "
"O-Okay! My name is Kendal. "
The dispirited Kendal forced himself to stay awake and told Tang En everything that happened after entering the underground world. From him, Tang En had a rough understanding of the situation.
The first batch of adventurers who entered the underground world were almost all dead. Other than the large mercenary corps, the stragglers who entered the underground world with the intention of taking the opportunity to make a fortune were basically all dead.
They were equivalent to the vanguard of the exploration. The powerful forces were waiting for the vanguard to report back. Therefore, when the vanguard encountered danger, they could only rely on themselves.
At that time, the path along the way was filled with major monsters.
The adventurers knew nothing about the major monsters in the underground world, so it was a one-sided defeat at first. It was not until a few days later that they gradually sorted out the information and found the weakness of the major monsters that they began to slowly advance. Then, the large mercenary corps and private forces finally joined the exploration team. At that time, Tang En was still leisurely preparing canned food in the Elven Forest.
"After passing through the Cave of Light Crystals, we each chose a cave to explore further …"
Kendal trembled and his face was a little pale. "But we didn't expect that we would choose a passage that led to hell … We were attacked by a terrifying sea of insects midway. Several people were eaten by the insects until not even their bones were left …"
Hearing this, the image of a person being devoured by a sea of insects appeared in Fiona's mind. She subconsciously hugged Twain's arm and shivered.
Girls are most afraid of this kind of thing. Fiona looked at Elsa, then at Vanilla, and then at Elijah. Well, correction, she was most afraid of this kind of thing.
Tang En patted her arm gently, and Fiona was more or less relieved.
"We finally lit the torches and drove away those terrible insects, but when we reached the end, we found that it was a dead end …"
"Dead end? That's not right. It was clearly through. "
"That was because we moved the rocks that blocked it. "Sob.
Kendal sobbed and hugged his knees as he buried his head and cried. "But I didn't expect that it would kill them!"
Tang En roughly understood. Due to the sudden change in air pressure, the falling stalactites were blown into the passage by the wind, blocking the entrance and also blocking the hunting range of the spider monster. But he did not expect them to move the stalactites away.
The passage that was cleared again caused a huge change in air flow and attracted the spider monster's attention. Then, they were plotted against by the spider monster. With the spider monster's intelligence, it was not surprising that it would plot against people.
Locke patted Kendal's back and sighed. "Don't cry. Adventurers must be prepared to die on the road from the beginning. Now that the dead are gone, you should work harder to live."
"You don't understand, you don't understand! When I was tied up and waiting to die, I was really scared, especially when I felt the cold straw brush past my nose. I always felt that I would be sucked dry at any time! "
Kendal was in a frenzy. "Did you know? The guys next to me, we made it all the way here. Even when we were tied up together, we were still discussing how to escape. But, that damned monster, it ate them in front of me! "
"That sharp tube was forcefully inserted into their mouths and injected digestive fluid. My friends died in front of me, and then they were sucked dry!"
"Can you imagine? The digestive fluid has turned everything in your body into liquid. A tube will be inserted directly into your head. "Kendall pointed at the top of his head." Then, it will suck everything out of your body. "
"Stop talking!"
Fiona covered her mouth. She was about to vomit.
Elsa and Elijah were also a little pale. Kitsukawa, on the other hand, still looked calm, but her taut tail had betrayed her heart. She was actually quite scared.
Kendal sat on the ground and said with a sobbing voice, "Halfway through, we saw other adventurers passing by here, and we asked them for help. Oh gods, I recognized one of them. It was the Cesar's Strength mercenary group. They were fully capable of saving us, but they ignored us and continued to move forward. The adventurers in their group did the same."
Cesar's Strength?
Tang En frowned slightly. It was this mercenary group again? They also chose this path?
This path just happened to lead to Redrock Cave. Was it a coincidence? Or …
"My Lord, what should we do with him?
He looks like he's about to collapse. We can't bring him deeper, but it's a little … "Loke said softly.
Tang En thought for a moment, then took out a Return Crystal and handed it to Kendal. "This is a Return Crystal. Take it and press these three runes. You can return to my territory, Ellington. Since you've provided us with important information, find a guard and ask him to bring you to Abedon. Tell him about the situation, and he'll help you settle down temporarily."
"My Lord?!"
Loke was stunned. "This is such a precious treasure. Why would you …"
Tang En rolled his eyes. "No matter how precious a treasure is, it has to be used to show its value. Besides, no matter how precious this thing is, we can still afford to use it."
Kendal stared blankly at the exquisite Return Crystal in his hand, unable to understand what Tang En meant.
"That's why." Fiona glared at him. "This thing is about the same as a teleportation scroll that's worth ten thousand gold coins! It doesn't need to be activated to use it. You've struck gold, do you understand?! "
It's worth ten thousand gold coins?!
Kundal's hand trembled violently, and the Return Crystal fell to the ground. He was so frightened that his face turned pale. He hurriedly picked it up and blew on it while wiping away the dust, afraid that he would break it.
Tang En did not know whether to laugh or cry. With a snap of his fingers, the Magician's Hand pinched Kendal's hand and activated the Return Crystal. "Let's go!"
The mana in the Return Crystal was completely activated, and a spatial vortex suddenly sucked Kendal in. Then, his entire body twisted and disappeared.
Loke saw how distorted Kendal was, as if he had been torn apart by space, and asked in fear, "Will it be the same if we use it?"
"More or less …"
Tang En thought for a moment. "It depends on your luck."
… …
