There was a fork in the road ahead. Jezebeth stopped and waited for Riley to come forward. The latter came over with a sketch map, and the two started talking softly.
Xing Ze did not deliberately eavesdrop on their conversation. The increasingly strong smell made him feel uneasy. He carefully looked around, holding both the pistol and the wand in his hands.
The people who came down with them all seemed to be outstanding mercenaries. They were all tall and fierce looking. There were five of them in total, and their division of labor was quite clear.
While Jezebeth and Riley were talking, they, like Xing Ze, were wary of their surroundings. The leader of these people walked up to Xing Ze with a toothpick in his mouth.
Compared to other team members, he was much more relaxed. "I heard that you are a wizard? The one who can really use magic?" He asked Xing Ze with some disbelief.
"You don't look like you believe it."
"Haha." The leader chuckled softly, "I have met many guys who claim to be wizards. But almost all of them are lies."
Speaking of this, he looked at Riley's side, confirmed that they were still discussing there, and then lowered his voice and said: "I've seen those lunatics above me. They were mumbling nonsense and using weird paints to draw magic on the ground.
Array or something.
"For God's sake. They said those things can protect us, but almost every time they think it will kill someone. I know that those things are useless at all, they are just a placebo. I might as well ask my church to donate money if I believe in those things.
Na."
"If you don't believe this, do you still have the guts to come here? Do you know what you are going to face?" Xing Ze asked with a hint of confusion.
"Of course. Of course I knew what I was going to encounter. To be honest, the first time I saw those things, I almost peed my pants. Yes, just a little bit. But I got over it. After that, I got used to it, ah,
It can’t be called a habit, I can only say that I don’t feel as scared as before.
"As for why we came here? They paid us well, and they also gave us free treatment. Yes, everyone who came here with me has encountered those things. If the association hadn't come to help, we, this group of people, would probably be in trouble for the rest of our lives.
Staying in a mental hospital."
The mercenary leader paused, leaned closer to Xing Ze and said: "In addition, we don't actually need to do the most important things, these lunatics will do it. So most of the people who died are their people, and our casualties
Very few, and most of the time there are near misses. In comparison, this is much better than going to Iraq."
"If that's the case, sir..."
"Just call me Jackman."
"Okay, Mr. Jackman. I advise you to be more careful this time."
"Really? You noticed something, right? I can see it." Jackman's tone became tense.
Xing Ze didn't want to waste too much time. He reminded again: "Keep your men vigilant. As for the rest, I can't be sure."
After that, Xing Ze walked over to Jezebeth. She and Riley probably had decided which way to go. Before Xing Ze could ask questions, she beckoned the others to take the leftmost fork in the road.
Her choice was correct. When walking into this fork in the road, Xing Ze saw an increase in the black liquid seeping out of the cement rock wall, as if something had crawled over it.
He knew what it was, but he didn't make a sound to remind him. At the same time, he also felt another force. This invisible force was like a water bubble that gently enveloped the person. It was probably because the magic circle upstairs was successful.
.
The surroundings were finally no longer pitch black, and sporadic lights illuminated the surroundings. The mercenaries behind Xing Ze could finally see the walls around them clearly.
Jackman muttered under his breath: "God, what the hell is this? Asphalt?"
Riley, who was walking in front, turned around and wanted to shut up the people behind him, but something happened just like that. The black liquid on the wall suddenly twisted, and it rushed toward it with lightning speed.
A recent mercenary.
"Fuck!" Jackman was indeed the leader, and he reacted very quickly. He didn't care about exposing himself at this moment, and immediately pointed his gun at the black clay monster.
Invisible Son. Xing Ze knew exactly what it was, and he knew that more would pop up on those cement walls.
The mercenaries fell into a brief confusion, but under the command of Jackman and Riley, they did not hesitate to launch a round of shooting at the member who was wrapped in the sludge monster.
As expected, the gunshots alerted more invisible beings on the wall, and these abominable monsters began to move around.
Faced with such a tense situation, Jezebeth did not have any panic. She decisively hid in a safe corner and observed the development of the situation.
Three invisible sons fell from the wall. Because of their previous experience, the mercenaries were extremely vigilant about what was going on above them.
These sneak attackers failed, and the first one had been beaten into pieces by a round of strafing fire, along with the unlucky guy.
Xing Ze also knew that ordinary bullets would not cause much damage to these monsters. They would only slow down their pace. Even if they were beaten into a hornet's nest, they would slowly recover.
One of the invisible sons took aim at Xing Ze. It squirmed and quickly came towards Xing Ze. The familiar lead-like smell gushed out from the monster.
Xing Ze drew his gun and fired. The upper part of the thing split into two halves, dodging the bullets fired at it.
"Interesting." Xing Ze muttered, immediately dodged to the side to avoid the monster, and then quickly ran towards Riley and the group of mercenaries.
"Hey, there's another one here!"
When they were about to arrive, Xing Ze reminded Riley, who was busy dealing with the other two. When he heard Xing Ze's cry, he cursed in disbelief: "What!"
Jackman also heard the sound, turned his head and looked in the direction of Xing Ze, and couldn't help shouting: "Hell, isn't he a wizard?"
As he finished speaking, Xing Ze circled around the group of mercenaries and successfully led the invisible son to the mercenaries.
Then, without stopping, Xing Ze continued to walk deeper into the passage. When he passed Jezebes, he saw the surprise and anger on her face.
Not far after running out, two hooded wizards appeared on the other side, one of whom had already raised his wand.
"What a ghost." Xing Ze suddenly stopped and was about to shoot, but felt himself floating up. Without hesitation, he suddenly extended his blue beak and attacked the wizard who was casting the spell.
The opponent obviously did not expect this move, and the blue beak penetrated his chest with almost no movement. The other wizard was preparing a lethal spell and could not stop midway. He could only watch his companion die.
Xing Ze fell from mid-air, and the water bubbles outside offset a large amount of impact, causing him to aim his gun at the wizard the moment he landed.
However, the magic had been completed, and the purple spear came through the air, fiercely shot through Xing Ze's abdomen, and the spear head was nailed to the ground.
Xing Ze hissed and fired three times. The last two shots hit the wizard. The exorcist bullets broke through his magic robe and ended the man's life.
