Chapter 101 The Disappointment of the Saint (4,000 words)
In the dark and deep cave, although there were no corpses or blood, there was a strong smell of death everywhere.
Depressed, low, and cold.
This natural aura is more penetrating than a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Even well-trained soldiers will instinctively remain silent when they come here.
There are stubborn rocks everywhere. Under the shaking of the light, they seem to be grinning and swaying. Countless invisible ghosts are waving to the living.
The Giri soldiers sent forty soldiers to go ahead to clear the way, while he, Saint Aria, and a group of platinum adventurers walked at the back of the team.
By arranging the forward formation in this way, it seems that the purpose of Saint Aria calling these soldiers is not only to find a group of spectators who know how to "cheer and applaud", but also to use them as human shields to detect the traps in the cave.
For platinum-level adventurers, there is no need to be so cautious when dealing with a group of level 30 monsters.
It's just that Aaliya is a proud person to the core, and her sense of superiority comes from deep in her soul.
Although the trap is not fatal, for her, messing up her clothes and soiling her body is still unacceptable and sacrilegious.
As for the other platinum adventurer companions, although they are not afraid of traps, as her personal playthings, they are naturally not suitable for such dirty work of traveling through thunder. It would be too embarrassing for the elves.
The trash soldiers who have no background and no one pays attention to are the best consumables to pave the way forward.
Sergeant Geary should be grateful that he still has a title.
Otherwise, even he will join the "red carpet army."
"Sergeant Geary, don't be so nervous."
"They're just a bunch of bugs funded by the devil. They can't make any waves."
Aaliya wore long boots and walked out with a sky-high and free pace, which looked like a catwalk. She looked cool and indifferent. She didn't look like she was here to fight against a vicious monster, but rather like a high-ranking Queen doing her inspection. .
Behind her were four adventurers who were also members of the Elf race, all of whom had numb faces and dull eyes.
If you look carefully, as the wind blows and the skirts of the clothes swing, you can vaguely see something like a leather collar on their white necks.
You don't need to think about it to know that this is the handiwork of Saint Alia.
In her eyes, there are no adventure team companions at all. Everyone is just her pet. The adventure is just about killing some monsters to relieve fatigue while walking the pet.
"Are you nervous?"
"I'm fine, Lady Saint, I'm not very nervous either!"
Sergeant Giri stood next to Aaliya, with sweat on his forehead, holding a torch and looking left and right from time to time. The only detail about his body that showed his calmness was that at least his legs were not shaking.
As the local emperor who guards one side, he is a glorious soldier of the Ziyue Kingdom.
He has not been on a frontal battlefield for a long time. His daily job is to collect military funds, receive leaders, and then be taken around by his subordinates.
Now that he had to face the Demon God Apostle in person who could kill thousands of soldiers, his ability to keep walking without falling was indeed an extraordinary performance.
You have to make him talk and laugh happily, which is the real way to force someone to do something difficult.
Saint Alia put her hands behind her back, tilted her chin, and looked at Sergeant Giri's funny look of being anxious and pretending to be calm with cold eyes.
man.
As expected, they are all a bunch of trash who only know how to hold on.
Aaliyah sneered in her heart.
"Dear elven friends, why do you keep your heads down? Monsters may appear in front of you at any time. It's better to be cautious."
Perhaps in order to ease the tense and awkward atmosphere, Sergeant Jili began to take the initiative to find topics.
He saw that behind Saint Alia, the four elven adventurers had been walking with their heads lowered, and their eyes seemed to be focused on Alia's ankles.
Although the Saintess is extremely powerful, those goblins are numerous and extremely ferocious.
If a sudden attack occurs and the situation is chaotic, such a lazy attitude will easily lead to disadvantages.
Sergeant Giri was a little worried about whether these platinum adventurers would be able to protect themselves when they started fighting later.
Facing his kind words and advice, the young elven girls remained silent, still lowering their heads and staring at Aaliyah's ankle with a numb expression.
The already somewhat cold atmosphere seemed particularly awkward at this time.
After a while, Saint Aaliya chuckled, and then said proudly: "Don't worry about them."
"That's what these losers like"
"Do you think so?"
Alia spoke in a very provocative and insulting tone, completely ignoring the fact that Sergeant Giri was still standing next to her and that she was now in a monster's cave.
She raised her head and looked down at the group of obedient pets. The latter trembled when they heard the words, and responded in unison without caring about the eyes of others: "Yes!"
"We are not worthy of looking directly at the back of the Holy Lady, we are only worthy of looking at the ankles of the Holy Lady!"
Being able to show off the masterpieces she had cultivated in front of outsiders, Aria rarely had a happier smile on her face.
When Sergeant Jili saw this scene, his spine went cold and he didn't dare to speak.
The saintly lady in front of her was completely different from her rumored personality.
He actually trained his companions to become more obedient servants than soldiers!
Horrible, really terrible.
What kind of saint is this?
She is clearly a self-centered female devil, she only has eyes for herself, and even her own race is her plaything!
Sergeant Jili is very worried, will such a person really protect himself?
He really regretted working in this godforsaken place like Aven Town and causing such a huge disaster.
[Luca, this sister of yours is surprisingly approachable? 】
Gu An, deep in the cave, is monitoring every move of Alia and others through the [Lord of the Cave] skill.
The "affable" demeanor of this saintly lady has quite a bit of her own charm.
It seems that we have really met our opponent.
Gu An teased Luka with a hint of sarcasm.
Luka stood next to Gu'an's throne, her body was stuffed to the brim, her front and back were blocked, and her lower abdomen was already in a mess.
The physical discomfort made her unable to even stand steady. When she heard the devil suddenly talking to her, she was even more frightened. She trembled so hard that she almost couldn't hold back the explosion in her lower abdomen.
Sister is here!
My sister is finally here!
The dark life is finally coming to an end!
There was a cramping pain in her lower abdomen. Luka bit her lip to hold on, and her legs could not stop trembling slightly.
But even now, when she thought of her gentle and kind sister, she still showed a proud look.
With the blessing of the goddess, he was already a level 36 platinum adventurer before he was over 600 years old.
She firmly believes that her sister Aaliya will be able to kill all these ugly and cruel monsters!
For so many days while the soldiers were attacking the lair, Luka had been secretly walking through the passages, watching the magic power fluctuations when the goblins fought.
She knew very well that the demon's goblin, Gu An, was only at level 30 and was no match for her sister.
The day she had been waiting for in her dream had finally arrived, and she would be out of the sea of misery immediately. She endured the torture of humiliation and was already thinking about how to take revenge later.
Castrate these goblins and parade them through the streets!
Gu An squinted at Luka and saw a hint of fierceness in her eyes, knowing that hope was rekindled in the heart of this rebellious little wolfhound.
Most likely, he was thinking about how to retaliate against himself later.
Gu An raised his lips.
Even though he had seen through Luka's thoughts, he did not punish this bold pet as he deserved.
He planned to make the little wolfdog happy for a while first.
This way, when hope is shattered later, the little wolfdog will feel even deeper despair.
After all, mental torture is more unforgettable than physical punishment.
All expectations, all pride, and all beliefs were trampled underfoot. Even the most unruly wolf dog would learn to obey completely after the collapse of its spiritual support.
Thinking of this, Gu An's smile was full of amusement. He asked Luca to follow Tiya to clean up the new room for the Elf Saint to use in the future.
The cute little wolf dog didn't know what it meant yet, and before leaving, he was still feeling complacent that he could temporarily escape the devil's surveillance.
"Hey hey hey."
"My sister is here, but she still dares to keep me away from your sight."
"What a stupid guy."
Luka endured the discomfort in her lower abdomen and felt a little shaky when walking, but she could not suppress the secret joy in her heart.
She was originally afraid of what she would do if her sister entered the depths of the cave and the devil took her as a hostage.
As a result, this stupid guy let her clean the room.
What a godsend.
As long as she secretly attacks Tiya later, knocks her out, and hides herself, her sister can launch an all-out attack without restraint.
Shameless and obscene devil, you are simply asking for your own death!
Dare to care about me!
When sister catches you, I will drink it back hard!
Luca seemed to have a plan in her mind, and she suddenly felt that the cramping pain in her lower abdomen was nothing.
Get out of the way.
Gu An sat on the stone chair, switched his perspective, and continued to observe Aaliya and his party.
[Lord Saint, don’t you want to see what I can do? 】
[Then please wait and see what happens next. 】
…
boom!
In the cave passage.
Aria and her group had already reached the third passage.
With a loud noise, although the soldiers at the front were cautious enough to explore forward, they still fell into the hidden pit trap.
Seven or eight soldiers fell into the pit and were impaled to death on bamboo thorns covered with feces.
Before the surviving soldiers could react, there was another loud noise, and two stone walls suddenly rose up from the front and back of the passage, trapping them inside.
"This is a poison mist trap!"
"Hurry up and cover your mouth and nose!"
A veteran who had narrowly escaped from the cave shouted loudly, and everyone put on the gas masks that had been prepared.
Poisonous mist spurted out from the ceiling, and the sealed passage instantly filled into a purple ocean.
Sergeant Giri and Aaliya were also trapped in the poisonous fog trap.
However, under the protection of gas masks, they were not too affected.
Among them, Alia's expression was the most indifferent. She didn't even need to do it herself. The "pet" behind her had already come to her and helped her put on the gas mask.
"call--"
"Fortunately, I was prepared in advance."
Sergeant Jili looked frightened when faced with the sudden appearance of the trap.
He was secretly glad that he had figured out the situation in the Goblin Cave before and made corresponding preparations in advance.
But there may be some doubts.
Why didn't Sergeant Geary equip previous soldiers with gas masks?
The answer is actually very simple.
Sergeant Giri had long known that this was an impossible battle to win, and the attack on the monster's lair was just to deal with public opinion from the outside world.
In this case, why waste military expenditure on purchasing gas masks?
If he hadn't gone into battle in person this time, he wouldn't have spent so much money.
Of course, Sergeant Geary's willingness to donate generously to forty soldiers was not a sign of conscience.
It's just that these soldiers can bring greater value while they are alive.
After all, without them acting as human shields at the forefront of the battlefield, how could Sergeant Giri's safety be guaranteed?
This is the wisdom that comes from leadership.
He might not be able to fight.
But in terms of Gou, he is definitely above the standard!
"Janina, go and open the rock wall in front of you."
Like a noble flower blooming on the glacier, Saint Alia's expression remains indifferent, naturally enjoying the service of others.
Having long been used to seeing all kinds of big scenes, she didn't pay attention to the trap in front of her at all, and even made a disdainful comment in her heart.
That's it?
Can a trap of this level kill someone?
The soldiers of the Ziyue Kingdom are actually so weak.
Feeling very bored, her eyes were unfocused, she shook her head in disappointment, and then spoke lightly, ordering her pet to break the obstructing rock wall in front of the rock wall blocking the way forward.
Just as Janina got the order and was about to leave, Sergeant Giri smiled and stopped her: "Sir, there's no need to bother."
"When the poisonous mist dissipates, the rock wall will disappear on its own. We just need to wait quietly."
Janina did not respond after hearing Sergeant Giri's words. Instead, she looked at Saint Aaliya timidly.
"It's so boring."
"The trap laid by the Demon God's apostle is actually so crude."
"If I were them, I would definitely do some tricks on the rock wall to trap the invading enemies, and then attack them with water and fire after the poisonous mist."
"I still think highly of that degenerate."
"More disappointing than expected."
The contempt in Saint Aria's eyes deepened, her face became colder, and she was secretly angry. She didn't understand why Luka was captured by such a thing?
“How wise the Holy Lady is, the Demon God Apostle will not be able to catch up even if he studies for decades.”
"Furthermore, the ability of those clumsy goblins to lay such a trap is probably at their limit. If they want to make it more complicated, I'm afraid they have the will but the inability to do so."
"Hahaha."
Sergeant Giri followed Aaliya's words and praised him.
He is still so flattering despite being so hot-tempered but cold-hearted, not because he is a bitch.
But people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
If you want to stay safe in this dangerous monster cave, you need the protection of this holy lady. Naturally, Sergeant Gili will not let go of any opportunity to flatter him.
Even through the gas mask, you can see the extremely complimentary smile on his face.
boom!
As soon as Sergeant Jili finished his complimentary words, there was another loud noise from the ceiling above his head.
Several thick pipes suddenly appeared from all directions, and the dark pipe mouths were pointed at everyone present.
"What's this!"
Hearing the huge noise, everyone looked up and saw the thick black tubes.
Sergeant Jili's expression suddenly changed, his eyes full of astonishment.
What is this?
Isn’t this the case in previous reports?
What’s going on!
What happened in front of me was completely unexpected. Before anyone present could react, blazing flames spurted out from the clarinet!
Thank you pretty boys for your recommendation votes!
Thank you boss Ye Yuhuanxing for your monthly ticket!
Thank you, boss!
