Chapter 559: Going Deep into the Snake Cave


    “Are you afraid of snakes?”


    Early the next morning, Duanmuhuai called Lorena and Mary over and asked them this question.


    “Uh... don’t like it.”


    “Me too.”


    Obviously, neither man likes snakes, the problem is...


    “Are you afraid?”


    “I’m not afraid of that.”


    Lorena answered quickly, which is normal. After all, she often travels around, and she must have encountered snakes a lot, so she is probably used to it.


    "I... don''t know, I have never encountered a snake, I only know that snakes are poisonous and dangerous animals..."


    That''s right, Mary doesn''t look like the kind of young lady who would run around casually.


    “Our goal this time is this…”


    As he spoke, Duanmu Huai explained the situation about the snake people to the two of them. When they learned that there was such a long-established race entrenched below the town, both of them were surprised.


    "Snake people...are we going to fight against such a race?"


    “Yes, completely annihilate them, that is our goal.”


    “But there are only three of us.”


    “You can rest assured of this.”


    Facing Mary’s curious inquiry, Duanmu Huai showed a meaningful smile.


    “There are not just three of us.”


    …………???”


    After eating breakfast, Duanmuhuai took Lorena and Mary to the former Vincecott mansion - this ancient mansion still looked like it had been demolished, and the nearby cordon was still in place. It exists, but judging from the fact that no police can be seen, it is obvious that this is no longer the focus of the police''s investigation.


    Duanmuhuai passed through the cordon and came to the underground passage that Vince Scott said. At the end of the underground passage, it was indeed blocked by collapsed rubble. At least from here, it''s impossible to get through.


    “Wow... I didn’t expect it to actually collapse. Can it really be dug out?”


    Looking at the tightly blocked passage in front of her, Mary couldn''t help but feel distressed, while Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders.


    “Look at it, it’s very simple.”


    As he spoke, Duanmuhuai raised his hand and snapped his fingers.


    ?The next moment, dozens of dolls suddenly appeared out of thin air, and then they started acting like this.


    “Hey? Huh? What is this??”


    Mary was shocked when she saw the doll that suddenly appeared, but Lorena had seen too much and didn''t take it seriously.


    “Magic, haven’t you also learned it?”


    “Of course I know...but...”


    After saying this, Mary looked at Duanmuhuai in disbelief.


    “Mr. Duanmu, you can actually do magic?”


    “What? Doesn’t it look like it?”


    …………”


    ??Mary carefully looked at the bald man in front of her, who was tall and strong, with muscles so tight that his shirt would tear, and a sinister look on his face...


    ?Honestly speaking, it doesn’t really look like it.


    "I thought all magicians were like Miss Lani..."


    In comparison, Lani fits the image of a magician in Mary''s imagination. Wearing a witch-like hat, cloak, and holding a staff, she always sits on a chair and looks very wise.


    “In this day and age, how can a magician not know how to fight at close range? Didn’t you also learn how to fight at close range?”


    “Well…that’s true…”


    In fact, most of what Mary learned from Lani was in the close combat mode. For example, magic like the Kaliya Swift Sword or the Kaliya Great Sword basically just uses magic power to condense the blade, and then relies on own melee skills. But because Kallia''s magic itself was very gorgeous, Mary ignored this matter.


    “Could it be said that all magicians are like this?”


    "Of course. Let me tell you, the so-called Archmage just needs to learn the Flash Technique, then fill up the Whirlwind Slash points, and then rush in and chop - isn''t that the same for you?"


    …………”


    ?Although he said this, Mary felt speechless when she heard Duanmuhuai say this.


    “And isn’t Lorena like this too? Even though she is a priest, she can be very fierce in fights.”


    “Well...that’s true.”


    It''s not like Mary has never seen Lorena fight before, and she has also seen the gorgeous priest uniform that Lorena wore during battle several times. The white clothing is inlaid with gold rims, and the decorations are full of sacredness. Indeed, It gives people the feeling of praying and singing at an altar or in a church. However, such a gentle girl who always smiles on weekdays can be very ferocious when fighting. Mary saw more than once the scene where she held the huge holy book in her hand and smashed the monster''s brains to pieces... ...To be honest, Mary doesn''t think this is something that ordinary priests or priests do. Most of the priests or priests in her impression are those who pray in churches, or enlighten believers, and boost morale behind everyone''s back. A feeling...huh?


    Could it be that there is something wrong with my own common sense? ?


    Just when Mary began to wonder if there was something wrong with her common sense, the dolls had already cleared the blocked passage again.


    “Okay, let’s go in.”


    The reason why we re-selected this route is because according to Suzunu’s investigation report, there is only one road under the Snake Empire, and one is the passage they have been using before, leading to the surface. The other road is here. Because it is closed, this road is actually closer to the back of the underground snake man''s lair.


    In other words, this place is not full of snake guards like the commonly used roads, and is more suitable for sneak attacks. Although Vince Scott and the others must have alerted the snake once before when they came down, considering that Vince Scott blew up the place again, I am afraid that even the snake people do not think that anyone will pass by this place again. Bar.


    ?But this is the best thing to do.


    After passing through the collapsed passage, the group of people quickly found what Vince Scott said was the passage leading to the underground. They moved forward and then came to a large cavity below.


    Looking at the scene in front of her, Mary couldn''t help but widen her eyes in surprise and let out a sigh of relief.


    When Vince Scott told the story before, perhaps because he was too nervous or because he didn''t want to recall it, he did not describe the scene here in detail, but for Mary, her first reaction when she saw this underground cave was …


    “So beautiful...”


    Yes, as Mary said, the current underground cave is not just an underground cave. The walls here are smooth and neat, with tall stone pillars on both sides. There are complex and gorgeous carvings on the walls and stone pillars. On the other walls and floors, the moss scattered around exudes a bluish-white light, and it does look like a refreshing sight.


    “This place looks like an underground ruin. If it is discovered, it will be extensively excavated and studied.”


    As a student of the History Department, Mary certainly understood how much of a sensation such relics would cause once they were discovered.


    “It depends on the situation. If everything goes well, it’s not like we can’t stay.”


    This is the civilization of the Snake Man Empire, and there are naturally records about the snake **** in it. If Duanmuhuai can successfully kill the snake god, then it is not that the records here cannot be left as the results of archaeological excavations. But on the other hand, if the snake **** slyly escapes from Duanmuhuai, then Duanmuhuai will completely destroy this place.


    “Okay, now is not the time to look at the scenery here.”


    Duanmuhuai lowered his voice. He had noticed that there were several dark shadows wandering in the dark places where light could not reach. Although I don''t know what it is, it is obvious that if I don''t speed up, I will be discovered by the snake man.


    “Let’s go!”


    ?The tactics adopted by Duanmu Huai are very simple, that is, make a breakthrough and insert directly into the center, while the puppet army will follow closely, responsible for entangling the monsters that find traces of Duanmu Huai and others, and destroying them. After all, for Duanmu Huai, as long as he has enough soul cards, he can be an army by himself, and there is no need to worry about this issue at all.


    According to Suzume''s investigation results, the most numerous white-haired apes and demons down here are the white-haired apes and demons, while the number of snake-men is the least. This is understandable, even those metal ribs are made by themselves to guard the tomb. He curled up in the coffin and slept.


    ?There were only a few snake men responsible for guarding the lair, and there should be a leader among them - but Suzu Girl did not go in because she felt the danger, so she retreated decisively.


    There''s nothing we can do about it. After all, in this world, Suzume is just a pitiful little kitten, not an elusive kunoichi. Otherwise, there would be no need for Duanmu Huai to come down. Maybe in one night, the entire snake people in the lair would be affected by Suzuki. The goddess killed them all without anyone noticing.


    ?What Duanmu Huai has to do now is to reach the place where the bell girl indicated that there is danger, and then kill the threat inside.


    Although there was lighting from the underground moss, the entire cave was still quite dark, but this certainly did not trouble Duanmu Huai and the others. A blue magic light ball appeared above their heads, illuminating the road in front of them - this was Mary. One of the magics learned from Lani, starlight.


    To be honest, Mary didn''t learn much magic from Lani, but each one was the essence. Starlight was responsible for illumination, Calmness was responsible for stabilizing the spirit, the Magic Sword was used for long-range attacks, and the Kallia Swift Sword and Great Sword were used for long-range attacks. Responsible for close combat, it can be said that Lani is an excellent magician. Although Mary has not learned many magics due to her limited magic power, these few magics alone are enough to solve the difficulties encountered most of the time.


    From this point of view, Lani still values ??Mary very much.


    “Go this way.”


    There was a passage ahead, but Duanmu Huai chose the side road. Of course, if it was normal, he would have walked directly there, but Ling Nu told him that there was a trap there - well, Duan Mu Huai was very happy to have Ling Nu at this time. Although he is not afraid of most traps, they are still quite human.


    “But Mr. Duanmu, there is no way ahead!”


    Turning the corner and continuing forward, there is an abyss that looks like a cliff.


    “It’s okay, get ready!”


    As he said that, Duanmuhuai stretched out his hands, grabbed Lorena and Mary one by one, and then jumped down!


    “Hoo————!”


    ?This sudden scene also surprised Mary. She closed her eyes subconsciously and felt the sound of wind passing by her ears. Then the next moment, with a strong impact, Duanmuhuai fell heavily to the ground. Then Lorena and Mary were put down.


    Lorena had long been used to it, and even stretched out after coming down, but Mary sat down on the ground, her face turned pale.


    “Duan, Mr. Duanmu, this is too dangerous! I thought I would fall to death!”


    After all, the magic that Lani taught Mary did not include the magic of flying.


    “It’s okay, you’ll get used to it if you come here a few times.”


    As he spoke, Duanmuhuai looked ahead.


    “But now, let’s get ready to fight.”


    “Hiss!”


    As Duanmuhuai spoke, Mary also heard a voice coming from the darkness ahead. She subconsciously clenched her staff, then stood up and stared ahead.


    Then, under the radiance of magic, the dark monster appeared from the shadows.
