The Dwarf Mint is built in a very large mine with a diameter of tens of thousands of meters.
The terrain here is somewhat like the open-pit mines in Raymond's previous life. The pit is in the shape of an inverted pyramid, and the area becomes smaller as you go down. There are circles of spiral mine tunnels on the rock wall. The mine tunnels extend in all directions, with complex and interlaced tracks.
Links leading to major mines within the rock wall.
The "No. 5" lift mine is on a thousand-meter-high rock wall, commanding a commanding position. The "Ghost Pirates" are in the dark, observing everything at the bottom of the pit.
The mint in the mine was brightly lit, and the David family members were very busy. Some were moving piles of gold products, and some were busy dismantling the ancient dwarves' large forging boilers.
This equipment is of great use to the mining giants.
It seems that the David family plans to wipe out everything in this mint.
.......
At least thousands of people from the David family came this time, and no one noticed the "ghost group" who was spying secretly.
"Hey... guys like David actually came to the second floor of the dungeon before us?"
Seeing clearly the family crests on the workers' clothes, Anna frowned slightly and felt very surprised.
Under the leadership of their own magic stick captain, their "ghost group" came here by "taking shortcuts". The monster traps they encountered were easily solved without wasting time. Logically speaking, there should not be other adventurers better than them.
Come here first.
But now, looking at it, those people from the David family are not only here, but looking at their posture, it is obvious that they have been here for a long time.
Of course, this money-obsessed lady is more indignant because their treasure place was discovered first!
"They should have come through the secret passage discovered in the Rainbow Mine, and came directly to the second level..."
Raymond raised his eyebrows, but he wasn't too surprised.
There are some corpses and blood stains of cave monsters around the bottom of the pit, and the traces of battle are also obvious. It seems that there has been a fierce battle before, and the monsters have been wiped out.
Seeing that David's main force was here, Raymond was not surprised, but breathed a sigh of relief. At least now, it seems that the progress of these guys' exploration is not very satisfactory.
Although the precious metals from this mint were captured first, for the wealthy "Ghost Group", after all, the attraction of these yellow and white things is far less than the other treasures in this dungeon.
Moreover, someone cleaned up the monsters here for them, which saved them a lot of trouble.
"Those guys have already started to dismantle the forging boiler, and it seems that the monster has also been cleaned up..."
Raymond slowly exhaled a breath of air.
If there was anything in this mint that he was particularly afraid of, it was naturally the big boss hidden in the boiler.
But when he turned around, he was a little confused and thought: "That's not right... Before the eternal fire in the boiler was extinguished, those guys from the David family actually killed the boss? Could it be that this place and the game
It's different here, the boss 'Three-Headed Fire Crow' is not here?"
There are no simple monsters in the second-level dungeon. There is almost a lord-level monster in every large mine.
The mint's boiler is directly connected to the underground lava. If Raymond remembers correctly, an eighth-level golden BOSS "Three-Headed Fire Crow" should have been entrenched here before.
It is a kind of "phantom beast" monster that cannot be killed, and can split almost infinitely even if it is chopped down!
In the game, if players want to launch this large-scale dungeon, the first thing they have to do is to block the connection of the boiler, so that the fire element in the ground cannot flow up through the pipe... Otherwise, the Fire Crow BOSS will continue to come from far away.
Replenish energy and become almost immortal.
This is the experience gained by players after countless group deaths.
But now...the Davide family's losses seem to be much less than expected?
"Is it possible...that there is a top-level expert among David's people?"
This is what surprised Raymond.
"Hey... Captain, look!"
At this moment, Colin on the side discovered something with his telescope.
There is an off-white canvas tent in the corner of the mine pit, and there is a small table next to the tent.
At this moment, a table of people was sitting there drinking tea leisurely.
Colin looked at a man who was leisurely drinking tea and looked familiar, and said anxiously: "There is an 'Ossian Shichibukai' there!"
Raymond was surprised: "Where is it?"
Colin: "Next to that tent..."
It's okay if I don't mention this. Once I mention it, Raymond actually sees an acquaintance.
That was clearly the "Shichibukai under the King" whom he had fought against before, [The Gambling Maniac] Eliphas M. Levi.
"It's true... the dignified Shichibukai actually got together with the expedition team. Is it possible that some big shot from the David family is here this time?"
Raymond muttered in surprise.
Seeing that guy, he understood why these David family expedition teams were able to kill the "Three-Headed Fire Crow" with low losses.
This map is a "proposition" for high-level supernatural beings, but for top masters like the Shichibukai, it is nothing.
Levi's unpredictable curse ability can directly damage the monster's soul. Even if the Fire Crow BOSS can have infinite clones, he can directly kill the soul with a coffin nail and instantly make the monster GG.
"Captain, the old man next to the tent seems to be the second-in-command of the David family, Robert David!"
At this time, Nicole also recognized the identity of the skinny old man drinking tea at Levi's table, and said: "I met him once when I was in Hex City."
"No wonder the Shichibukai were so generous that they accompanied us down to this dungeon... It turns out that a big shot really came here!"
Naturally, Raymond knew the second-in-command of the David family.
Don't look at the little old man's air of emptiness, which is about the ordinary extraordinary level of Sequence 5, but he is one of the few truly top-level rich people in the world, the real power boss of the David family. He is really the kind of person who can be wiped out in a blink of an eye.
The "big shot" of the upper class who can easily destroy a large country with just money and who decides the lives and deaths of thousands of people!
"Such a 'big man' actually took risks himself to explore the ruins?"
When he saw this old man, Raymond was also extremely surprised.
Obviously, such a noble and powerful person would not have any leisure time to go sightseeing and adventure.
Is it possible that there is anything else in this dungeon worth visiting in person?
"Hey, it seems like we are on the wrong road..."
A flash of cold light quickly flashed across Raymond's eyes, and an idea that was about to come to mind popped up in his mind!
Just now, their "ghost group" almost suffered a big loss from the [Mumu Fruit] user. If they hadn't had some tricks to kill the enemy, the corpse would have been completely cold by now.
Tsk tsk, when enemies meet, they are not allowed to express their feelings?
...
But...
The guys drinking tea at the round table obviously have very different backgrounds.
The escort force brought by old man Robert Davide can be described as luxurious. In addition to a Shichibukai, there is also a legion commander of the [War Emperor] and several top extraordinary commanders from the Davide family.
These are some of the famous "super strong men" of the Endless Sea.
Seeing this, Anna asked: "Captain, David seems to have many top experts coming this time, should we avoid them?"
Although they had been hunted down a while ago, and although everyone was very reluctant that the treasure that was supposed to be their "Ghost Group" had been seized by others first, after all, the strength of the enemy and ourselves were too different, so this matter was obviously impossible to do.
"Avoid?"
Raymond shook his head.
Even if they give up the benefits here, they must go through the mine to go to the "Dwarf Central Library". When they encounter monsters and start a battle, they will inevitably be discovered by the David family members.
He stared at the skinny old man drinking tea by the tent, with an evil smile on his lips: "I want to try...if I can kill that guy. Now that the feud has been made, we might as well be more thorough!"
"ah?"
When Anna heard this, not only was she not shocked, but there was also a hint of excitement in her beautiful eyes, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.
She knew that Raymond was not the kind of person to act on impulse, especially when his own life was at stake. Since he dared to say this now, he must be somewhat confident.
When the other members of the "Ghost Group" heard about their captain's crazy plan, no one was afraid. Their eyes shone brightly, and they said excitedly: "Captain, what are we going to do?"
They have a blind trust in Raymond. In their impression, since their captain has spoken, he must be able to do it!
Now...
Killing the number two figure of the David family under the protection of several top Sequence 0 masters, this plan is crazy!
"I want to try that trick, maybe I can kill that old man..."
Raymond's thoughts were racing in his mind. After thinking about it for a while, he decided that his idea was very feasible.
He held his chin and thought for a moment, and immediately had a plan in his mind, and said: "It doesn't matter whether I succeed or not, the retreat route is the most important thing... Let's get over here first, there is a mine cart there that can
Take us to a safe place..."
I don't care whether my words are too arrogant or not.
He turned to Colin and said: "There is a nest of 'ancient gold-eating ants' behind the eagle-beak rock wall opposite. Colin, you will launch a small missile in the direction of the eagle-beak. After it explodes, there will be
There is a big milky white insect, that is the female insect. If it is not killed by one blow, hit it again and it must be killed! After the female insect dies, the 'gold-eating ants' will go into a state of rage, and they will kill everything here.
Living thing..."
The "gold-eating ant" is an ancient strange insect that claims to be able to swallow nothing.
They usually survive by devouring metals in mineral veins. The gold element will condense in the body, making their carapace extremely tough. Adult bugs are invulnerable and invulnerable to water and fire...
It can swallow true energy, armor, and even domineering energy!
It cannot be killed by cutting, burning, or poisoning...it can also fly!
Therefore, they are one of the most terrifying biological groups in the underground!
In the game, this is a cheating setting that makes countless players cry for their parents. If anyone accidentally touches the rock wall while completing the dungeon, the team will be destroyed. There is no solution!
One can imagine what a terrifying situation it would be if the nest exploded and hundreds of millions of "gold-eating ants" came out...
Once the female insect dies, this ancient strange insect the size of a rice grain will go into a violent rage, wiping out all life in its path. Like a sandstorm, those caught in it will be devoured in the blink of an eye until no bones are left...
Even top-level extraordinary beings will be chewed to death if they don’t escape!
After listening to Raymond's introduction, everyone in the ghost group felt numb in their backs.
This is another ancient and strange insect that has become extinct.
Lulu on the side had obviously heard it again, but was not surprised at all.
He asked: "Captain, according to what you said, the 'gold-eating ants' attack indiscriminately. After breaking the nest, aren't we also in danger? Do we need to sprinkle insect repellent powder in advance?"
In the existing database of the World Government Research Institute, there is a brief introduction to this insect, but very little is known about its habits.
"To deal with this bug, insect repellent powder is useless!"
Raymond shook his head and said: "This bug has no sense of vision, hearing, and smell... They rely on heat to determine the position of other creatures. Therefore, Anna will use water elements to help us isolate the heat from the body surface and try to be as harmonious as possible. If the surrounding environment is the same, then those bugs won’t be able to sense our presence!”
This is a little trick that players discovered after dying many times to avoid being chased by bugs.
The sensory system of "gold-eating ants" is like a "thermal imager". There are only differences between high and low temperature zones. They use this to judge the shape and position of living things. As long as the body temperature is integrated with the surrounding environment, it can become their Perceptual blind spots.
"Wow... If this is really the case, those guys in the David family will be in big trouble!"
After hearing Raymond's plan, everyone in the ghost group was in high spirits.
There are many extraordinary beings who can achieve body temperature isolation, but there are very few who know the characteristics of these ancient bugs!
Therefore, that "gold-eating ant" nest will definitely cause heavy losses to the Davide family!
...
While Raymond and the others were discussing the assassination plan, at the mint at the bottom of the mine, Robert David and a few top extraordinary people were leisurely drinking tea and discussing something.
"That guy Keith has been chasing those 'Ghost Pirates' for so long, why haven't there been any news?"
"Don't worry about him. The life card is fine. What can happen... Maybe he's just trapped in an area where the phone bug has no signal. That guy's ability is invincible in the dungeon. Even I can't do anything about it. He can't kill a few little pirates, it won't take long..."
"Mr. Robert, is your news reliable? Is there really that magic weapon in this damn place that increases lifespan and keeps you young forever?"
"It's probably not wrong... I have obtained a top-secret archaeological document before. An ancient dwarf king has an artifact [Eternal Holy Grail] in his hand. The water in the cup can increase life span. Ivan passed it back last time Many parts of the news were milder than the descriptions in the document, so I speculated that this ruins was most likely the ruins of the Dwarf Kingdom pointed to by the archaeological clues... Unfortunately, Ivan was killed, and some of the clues he found It’s also broken.”
"You said that black skeleton is the dwarf king?"
"Nine percent of it is possible! According to reports from subordinates, Ivan got something from the skeleton... But now that he is dead, the things are gone! I don't know if it is."
"But why is a majestic king hiding in a mine?"
"..."
Others are chatting and spanking.
[The Gambling Maniac] Levi was a little bored and obviously had no interest in talking to anyone.
He was turning over the cards and playing his divination game boredly.
If it weren't for the favor he owed to Robert David, he would have been a dignified Shichibukai, but he would not be willing to hang out with some big pirates, and he would have no interest in being a bodyguard for others.
This dungeon is full of dangers, and Levi has to perform poker divination frequently. No, he turned over another "J of Diamonds", which is a card that represents his own luck in a short period of time.
"It's a slight risk, and I'll get through it smoothly... There is actually a crisis behind the reality of divination that could threaten my survival?"
He lazily raised his eyebrows and muttered something softly.
Recently, he came to Addaltron, and he felt that his luck had never been very good, and he could never draw the heart card.
If he hadn't divined in advance and drawn the plum blossom card, which gave them an extra insight, the "three-headed fire crow" hidden in the forging boiler would have been enough to make them suffer a big loss.
At this time, he turned over another card.
Since it was the loser who protected the old man, he naturally had to pay attention to Robert's fate at all times.
The cards were slowly turned over, and when Levi saw the iconic black sharp corners, his lazy expression was immediately wiped away.
His expression changed drastically and he sat upright suddenly!
"How can it be?!"
Levi looked at the "Ace of Spades" he turned out in disbelief, his eyes trembling violently.
This is a "bad luck card"!
The results of the divination show...Robert David is in fatal danger!
At this moment, he just felt that it was impossible. With so many masters protecting him, how could such a card appear in Robert's divination?
Levi thought his divination results were wrong, but he suddenly thought of the last time he doubted his divination...
It was the one he drew when he went to hunt down the little pirate from the "Ghost Group" half a month ago!
Robert on the side looked at Levi showing a gaffe he had never seen before and asked: "Mr. Levi, what's wrong with you?"
Regardless of whether the divination result was wrong or not, Levi thought it was better to be cautious and said to the top-notch Chaofan at the same table: "Everyone, be careful and protect Mr. Robert! My divination shows that there is a fatal danger..."
Hearing this, other people at the same table also showed surprised expressions.
They each turned on their sensory states and obviously found no clues.
"What do you mean? Levi, you don't think that anyone can hurt Mr. Robert under our eyes, do you?"
"Is it possible that there is a top assassin?"
"Haha... how is that possible! There are just a few of us, even if the world's top assassins come to attack us, we will still be punished on the spot!"
"You are paranoid..."
"..."
Even the top transcendent who is best at perception did not find the enemy. Everyone at the table felt that Levi was making a fuss.
"Hahaha... Mr. Levi, could it be that your divination was wrong? I heard that sometimes the environment can affect the results of divination. This damn place, maybe..."
The words were not spoken yet.
But at this moment, a sudden murderous intention came!
"not good!"
The expressions of the people at the table changed drastically, and Robert David's expression turned ashen!
