The knight in the abyss

Chapter 41 Mine Entrance

"Gentlemen, welcome to the Devil's Gut Mine." Barende was the first to jump out of the carriage and greeted everyone like a master.

"I think the name is terrible." Karalin jumped down, "The existing anatomical cases all prove that the digestive system of demons ends in the stomach. They have no intestines at all, let alone excretory organs."

Lancelot and Pluto were last, and they removed Barende's heavy backpack from the wagon, filled with all kinds of prospecting equipment and supplies.

Watching Barende struggling to carry a backpack larger than the dwarf himself, Lancelot asked curiously:

"This thing is too heavy. If you encounter danger below, it is not easy to escape."

“There is a hidden miner’s lounge not far from the entrance to the mine,” explained Barende. “We can rest there, store supplies and mining tools, and carry only the equipment we need for prospecting.”

"I see." Lancelot nodded knowingly, and the situation sounded better than he expected.

Lancelot did not lack experience in fighting underground before, but it was all about dealing with bandits occupying caves, and he had no experience in entering mines.

The entrance to the mine in front of him was much larger than he had imagined, enough for five carriages to pass through. It was as black as the giant mouth of a monster, waiting for food to be delivered to the door.

In addition, there is a little trouble entrenched in the entrance of the mine.

His spiritual sense clearly told himself that there were several individuals hiding in the shadows of stones and rock walls ahead, waiting for him with expectant eyes.

"Get ready." He pretended to be nonchalant and whispered to his companions, "There is an ambush at the entrance of the cave."

"What is the enemy?" Barende was a little nervous, but he managed to restrain himself from being too violent.

"I haven't seen them, but they are all humanoid creatures, not demons. The number should be five, strength..." He felt it carefully, then glanced at Pluto, "It should be a little weaker than this guy ."

Pluto didn't say a word, but looking at his trembling hands and tense body, Lancelot was sure he was very excited right now.

"Barende, you and Karalin will stay behind for a while, just focus on defense."

The scholar and artisan nodded, and Karalin opened the shackle containing the scroll, ready to use it at any time.

"Unless it's for self-protection, you don't need to waste precious spells." Lancelot shook his head at Kalarin, "Now, you and Barende are pretending to be discussing something on the spot; Pluto, you and I pretend to go As a pathfinder, you can hold a shield in your hand, but don't hold a hammer."

Pluto just nodded, still silent.Lancelot shrugged, even if the ambushers saw something unusual, they were just blocking his path.

Lancelot stepped towards the entrance of the cave, and Pluto immediately followed him closely.

"This mine is so old, I bet we won't find anything in it," he said loudly, hoping that his defenseless appearance would let the hidden enemies relax their vigilance.

Pluto just nodded, and Lancelot completely gave up expecting him to cooperate.

Finally, just as they were about to step into the entrance of the mine, the sound of breaking wind suddenly rang out.

The ambushers finally made their move. Short javelins about five feet long flew out from behind the stones and shot at Lancelot and Pluto with a sharp whistle.

This round of long-range attack is enough to make the unprepared people scrambling for a while, but of course, it is not difficult for the two people who have been prepared for a long time.Pluto relied on his shield to deflect the attack, while Lancelot dodged all the incoming javelins with just his agility.

The attacker finally showed up.Standing over six feet tall, this humanoid is clad in armor made of animal skins, with thick brown hair sticking out of gaps in the clothing, and around its neck is a head with a hooked nose, thick eyebrows, and goblin ears. .

"Bear goblins!" Pluto roared.

Goblin bears are the larger cousins ​​of goblins, looting and hunting for a living.Cruel and arrogant, these creatures share a passion for killing and treasure, and are sometimes hired by goblins or other evil masters to take on roles such as bodyguards, thugs, or robbers.

The group of bear goblins in front of them may have been deserters of a demon army or the guards of a slave transport team, but I am afraid that there is no master at this time.After throwing the javelin, three of the goblins, brandishing their weapons, rushed out of hiding.

"You will deal with one, no problem?" Lancelot said to Pluto;

Pluto drew his warhammer and hit the ground hard in response.

Lancelot chuckled and stretched his hand to his shoulder, habitually grabbing his giant sword, but after thinking about it, before dealing with more troublesome enemies, he had better get acquainted with the new weapon.

A pleasant beep came, and Lancelot drew out his long sword 'Frost Slash'.He faced the rushing enemy with a powerful horizontal slash, but the purpose was only to stop two of them.The other was let go by him, and the one was dealt with by Pluto.

The most important raid of goblin bear tactics had failed, combined with the knight's armor and sword, smart enough to judge the foe's intractability, but Lancelot tried to inflame their wrath with a one-on-two provocation.

Lancelot pulled a sword flower, held the long sword in front of him, and invited the opponent to attack first.

The two goblins didn't completely lose their minds. While staring at Lancelot, they slowly moved sideways, occupying the left and right sides of Lancelot, ready to launch a pincer attack.

On the other side, Pluto was already wrestling with his opponent.The dwarf also took the defensive first, facing the menacing charge of the bear goblins, he calmly dodged to the side, dodging the first blow, and then raised his shield to catch the following pursuit.

But he didn't give the enemy a third chance to strike. The attack he blocked just now made him understand that the enemy's strength was not above him.He seized the opportunity of the enemy's weapon to bounce because it was blocked, and slammed the shield outward with his left hand, causing the enemy to lose his balance at once, followed by the hammer of his right hand, which accurately hit the goblin bear. Knee, the part of the enemy's body closest to him.

With a 'click' sound, the sound of broken bones clearly reached everyone's ears.The goblin bear fell to his knees instantly, and then let out a violent scream.

"Oh, the knee, my favorite part."

As soon as he succeeded, Pluto jumped back immediately, dodging the enemy's inaccurate counterattack.

Lancelot was also attracted by the movement on Pluto's side and looked back.

Seeing him turn his head, the two goblins surrounding him immediately launched attacks from the left and the right, but Lancelot seemed to have expected it, and his body twisted strangely, and actually moved three steps back. The distance made the two rushing enemies have no time to react, and slammed into each other fiercely.

"Don't worry, ladies."

He took a step forward, and a torrential rain of sword light immediately enveloped the two goblins.Lancelo didn't use his true qi at all, and just relied on his swordsmanship to suppress two enemies at the same time.

He was not in a hurry to kill, and whenever the blade was about to pass through the enemy's body, he forcibly stopped it without causing fatal wounds.

He was quickly getting acquainted with the length, weight and balance of the new weapon.As he moved faster and faster, the two goblins couldn't keep up with him. They could only wave the mace randomly, trying in vain to cause a little damage to Lancelot.

The knight finally felt that the weapon in his hand had become a part of his body, and when the hand holding the sword turned, the faces of the two enemies, one left and one right, were shot by the sword at the same time, and they flew out.

Another lurking goblin bear stuck his head out, trying to throw a javelin to cover his accomplice, but a flying rock in the middle of the nose knocked it to the ground.

Karalin gave Lancelot a victory gesture.

Lancelot shrugged, turned his head to look at the enemy who was struggling to get up, and shouted with true energy:

"roll!"
