Age of Adepts

Chapter 77: Passing the Shoulder

Pit 7 is a blood stone mine located deeper into the mission site.

There, the most commonly produced is a special mineral called blood stone. This stuff itself is not very useful, but it is often used as a catalyst for various sorcery experiments. Especially since blood stone powder has a clear effect on the quenching and purification of witchcraft, it is very popular in underground markets everywhere.

The training camp, however, sent Kevin's team there for a surprise raid, apparently not for the Blood Stone Mine in the district, but for another gemstone mine, the Blood Grenade, that accompanies the Blood Stone Mine. Blood grenades, as a gemstone ore, can be processed into a wide variety of magical jewellery once they fall into the hands of certain jewellery masters. They will find ways to unleash the mysterious power that lies inside the gem, and the magical ornaments they create will have some incredible power.

The resurrection earrings that Grimm once sold, for example, were made from a magic gem called Trilbite.

Blood stone mines, even primary blood stones that have undergone initial extraction, cost less than 10 magic crystals per kilogram in the underground market. To become wealthy by looting them, the elite apprentices in the camp need to prepare a long underground merchant team before they can be transported away.

And each of the original blood grenade mines has only the size of an egg, but a large group of chambers of commerce and wizard families are willing to buy it for 200 magic crystals per kilogram. Thus, in contrast, skinhead Afuddin raided Pit 7 in order to loot the blood grenades stored in it for half a month, rather than the excessively heavy and inexpensive blood stone mines.

Previous underground raids, more like a chessboard match.

Both sides occupy resource and mining sites that are almost invariably fixed, and each other's general strength is clear to each other. So today you lead a raid on my resource point, and tomorrow I lead a team halfway through your task force. You come and go from one side to the other, in this dark, deep underground tunnel, and you kill in darkness and blood.

But there is one point that both sides have complied well, and there has never been a violation. That is to return home. Never allow malicious destruction of resource points or mining sites!

Seriously, a significant part of the interests of surface wizards and corrupt wizards depend on the resources and minerals that are constantly extracted from these sources. Once someone opens an evil example to destroy each other's resource points, it is also difficult to maintain them effectively on one side. So in order to avoid one beat and two beats, it's only centuries since you fought for me to conjure up these subordinate rules that can't be written.

You can rob resources, so long as you send an elite apprentice to defeat our protector, resources are yours. But you can't destroy the environment at the resource point! Any malicious destruction of a resource point, if it occurs, will be pursued jointly by witches from both sides.

So while it's just 200 meters away, Grimm is watching his way forward and telling Marie what he knows about the underground. He has made up his mind to use this underground trip to pull Mary into Kevin's squad and make her an elite apprentice as soon as possible.

But to do so, Mary needs to be present in this raid on Pit 7. At least listen to Kevin, the training camp has begun to come into contact with the quasi-witch named Sabrina. As for the other members, before they showed their strength, they were only observed and could not attract the interest of bald Alfred.

You know, when the team arrived, there were three quasi-watches inside!

And now Grimm is part of the training camp, and Sabrina is in touch. As for the other two quasi-watches, Leo and Marcus, they were not at all attracted to Alfred. So Mary wanted to enter the training camp, at least in this underground raid.

To be honest, there's no need for Grimm to encourage her at all. Mary has been in a state of rage ever since she heard of that damn training camp pulling Grimm into it without her share. Just like her, the more angry a guy like her feels, the brighter the smile on his face.

Perhaps only at the moment of prey will she reveal herself!

…………

This is a quiet, deep underground cave!

Shortly after he calmed down, five tall, fat, skinny, weird figures broke in here again.

When one was tall and stiff and surrounded by a circle of light blue ice crystal halos, the humid air was frozen straight off the ice slag by a suddenly decreasing cold stream.

He was obviously also the leader of the five, and his angry roar echoed in the silent cave in the face of the empty underground cave.

“Where are the people? Didn't you say you found someone breaking in here? So where is he? ”

Listening to his low, mute voice, Heran was the quasi-warry Langdon.

“Landon, you don't have to be impatient. The few of us will never give up halfway if we promise to avenge you. Things are weird today, and we need to think about it.” A black man couldn't bear to say.

“Yeah, yeah! What happened today is really evil. We've been squatting halfway since we got word, and no matter which way they go to this mission point, it's impossible to hide it from us. But...” Another black robe said his doubts.

“But they strangely bypassed our interception network. Gary, he's not the junior apprentice you mentioned last time, is he?” The third black robe man asked calmly.

After listening to him, Langdon, the head, suffered a slight pause, and the chills in the air grew. In a whirl, a cold roar of Landenson sounded in the cave: "The elemental smell here has not completely dissipated, which means they have just left here. As long as we hurry up, we might be able to stop them. Felix, it's up to you! ”

Philip, who was named by Landon, is also a witch. It can be said that all those who can be brought here today by Landella are quasi-warrior-level beings.

Being able to bring four quasi-wolf corrupt apprentices to avenge him at the same time is enough to prove the strength of this Langdon. But to be more precise, the people took such a dangerous vengeance task in front of the teacher behind him.

And can be awed by a group of quasi-witches, of course, the famous corrupt witches in the city of Eternal Love!

Black Light! Speaking of this name, no one in the city knows. As a powerful corrupt wizard, the name Black Light rings even in the dark cave area. And Langdon, as his disciple, is also a very appealing figure at the level of the Fallen Apprentice of Eternal Love.

He named me, though somewhat unwilling, but Philip stood up.

“Come on, you guys!” Coldly commanded, Felix gently slammed the scepter in his hand into the hard slate under his feet.

With the constant infusion of ground-based elements, the fist-sized turquoise crystal stone at the top of the scepter emits a bright and radiant element halo. Under the cover of elemental halos, a mysterious array of witches emerged on the floor beneath everyone's feet.

“Come closer, we're about to send it over! ”

Hearing Philip's reminder, people surrounded themselves and placed themselves within the confines of the Mysterious Wizard Formation.

“Be prepared not to resist the power of earth transmission. Go!”

As Philip drank heavily, countless earthy elements suddenly appeared in the mysterious sorceress array beneath his feet. These soil elements are already thick as smoke, wrapped around their sides, and as a strange earthen yellow halo swept by, the cigarette clumps suddenly solidified, instantly wrapping several people around and staining a statue of soil.

When the Mysterious Witchcraft disappeared, the five sculptures also collapsed and scattered all over the earth. And the broken mud sculpture did not see half the flesh, and five quasi-watches had completely disappeared on the spot.

…………

A temporary miscalculation made Landon think that Grimm would be anxious to return to the surface after completing his mission. He went after Sabrina and others in the wrong direction.

Grimm and Mary lurked remotely around deeper pit 7 when five fallen quasi-watches ran directly into the upper passage near the surface under Philip's vein transfer.

The remainder of the Kevin squad had not arrived, so Grimm, working with Mary, began to inspect the perimeter of the pit.

Grimm picks up and drops Mary off inside the pit using the potential of the crocodile hunter. Mary, on the other hand, turned into a silent, flying, blood-sucking bat and stepped on the pit all over again. Even more exaggerated, Mary, who swung through it, also mapped out all the pits, miners and positions of the Fallen Apprenticeship Guardian Team and stored them in a photographic crystal.

So when Kevin and the other five members arrived at the hidden rendezvous point, what they saw was this clear, unclear, stereoscopic picture of the pit.

As miners there are rats in the underground race, there are about 200 rat miners in pit 7 as a whole, while the guardians are 17 underground mercenaries and 6 corrupt apprentices. At the time of the attack, these rats did not participate in the offensive at all, so just consider the guardian forces when planning.

After all, for these rats, whoever controls the pit is just as tamed. As long as the daily food supply is adequate, they don't care who they serve!

Kevin couldn't help but look at the panoramic view of the pit provided by the two newcomers.

Grimm's abilities are BUG, and he can penetrate anywhere in the underground world without the protection of the Witch Front, and he can't help it. And Mary's transformation of the blood bat was a ghost, and it was difficult for anyone to guard against a cold-blooded creature that could walk around the top of the wall. Everything that can be arranged by each other is invisible under the vampire's infrared vision and sense of life.

Together, if they're not careful, they'll have to remove any color from the leggings!
