Chapter 90: Rock Snake, Exploding Scale Dragon
It was three o'clock in the morning and the sky was pitch black. It was autumn now and the cold wind at night pierced into the bone marrow.
A long queue had already formed in front of the Sean Dungeon. Due to its popularity, the flow of people was increasing. Many people even came to queue up two hours in advance. What's more, when they were kicked out of the dungeon at twelve o'clock, they didn't even go home and went straight to queue up.
But despite the adventurers' efforts, they still could not resist the privileges of the nobles.
The guards of the Bede family looked at the adventurers jokingly and said to their companions, "What's the point of lining up so early? We will have to make way when the time comes."
"Keep your voice down, these people have bad tempers," said another guard. "It's almost time, call all the workers over quickly, and start collecting tickets after they go in."
The adventurers glared at them, and there were constant shouts and curses in the team.
If the guards did not belong to the lord, a noble blessed by the kingdom, they would have started fighting long ago!
After weighing the pros and cons, many people think that there are gains to be made by entering the Senn dungeon, so they suppress their anger and come here. However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that suppressed dissatisfaction will not disappear, but will continue to brew over time until it explodes.
In fact, there are already some very efficient people organizing protest marches, but it is not known exactly when they will take place.
Magician Roger looked at the expressions of the crowd and felt that his sociological experience had improved.
Yesterday, the exploration team informed Sid of all kinds of intelligence, including the campfire, images, oaths, etc. The huge amount of information made this old man, who had experienced a lot of things, silent for a moment. He gave the huge reward that had been agreed upon before to each person, and also added additional rewards.
He said that he would organize a new exploration after a while, but Roger felt that it would be impossible to get this group of people together now.
"Lion" Leon claimed that the senior he always wanted to be his disciple but never had the chance would be interested in the teardrop hatchling. To show his sincerity, he personally took the teardrop hatchling on a journey to visit the senior. It was said that other people in the strategy group also went with him and would not be back for a while.
After performing an ecstatic dance in the conference room, the Flame Monk rode at full speed to the Spark Church's base, saying that he wanted to call all the remaining believers to serve as Sun Warriors. The base was in a neighboring city of Bed City, and it would take several days to travel back and forth.
The Holy Light Knight went to the church to report the situation, and he was never seen again after that.
Stellan still stayed in the city as a sun warrior, but she appeared less frequently because of Melgar's harassment.
As for Perry, the kid took the crystal scroll back to the Magic Association with a lot of resentment. After all, the purpose of his coming here was to identify the campfire images for the association, and he had to go back to report.
Then why does Roger stay here?
Hehehe, of course it’s for the monsters.
"This magical spherical prop can even catch dragons, maybe it can catch other monsters as well." He was going to continue to the dungeon to catch monsters. In his eyes, the monsters produced in the Sean dungeon were all unprecedented species, much rarer than those monsters on the surface that he had long been tired of seeing!
If you want to catch something, catch the precious ones. Maybe in the future Gong Qiying will launch the shiny curse frog, shiny mushroom man, shiny female fire dragon and so on.
"[Invisibility]"
Roger cast an invisibility spell on himself and quietly blended into the group of workers, preparing to enter the dungeon with them.
It is impossible to queue, it is impossible to queue in this life.
"Um?"
At this moment, a man standing with the guards suddenly turned his head and looked in Roger's direction, narrowing his eyes.
Found me?
Roger was slightly surprised, but when he saw the man's clothes, he was suddenly relieved.
The man was strong and wore a silver-white full body armor with simple patterns on the surface. Not only was his helmet shaped like an eagle, but his breastplate was also painted with a lifelike falcon.
So that's it. This is the mercenary group that Mr. Sid mentioned - the Light Eagle Group.
No wonder the adventurers haven't caused any trouble yet. Everyone has heard of the reputation of this almost undefeated mercenary group, and no one wants to clash with these bloodthirsty mercenaries.
Judging from the specifications of his armor, this person is at least at the captain level, and his strength should not be underestimated.
However, this did not scare Roger. He gave the other party a thumbs up and followed the worker in front of him into the portal.
The captain of the Light Eagle Regiment suddenly chuckled, causing the surrounding guards to look puzzled.
"Hey, why is there one person missing?" After entering the underground city, the workers counted the number of people and found that there were only nine.
After waiting for two minutes, the remaining one did not come in. The workers cursed a few words and started today's work, heading to specific collection points to mine ore.
Roger originally wanted to leave them and act alone, but he felt that so many people might attract more monsters, so he simply followed the workers from a distance.
As a result, not long after they left, the workers were attacked by skeleton monsters. It was Roger who secretly dispersed the monsters, so that no casualties were caused.
"The skeleton monster is too ugly. Isn't there any handsomer one?" That's why he took action.
Under his protection, the workers arrived at the mining site safely, and they kept sighing at how lucky they were today. After all, usually when they got here, more than half of the workers would be killed.
Have the monsters become more ferocious?
Roger sat nearby, still hiding his figure.
I always feel that this time, the monster has become more ferocious than last time. Is it his illusion? Moreover, the cursed frogs, murlocs and the like were all gone, and it seemed that only the skeleton monsters were left.
It's strange, very strange, it feels like the calm before the storm.
"Huh? Were there such big rocks here before?" asked a worker, pointing to the huge rock in front of him.
"No," another person said, "I remember that the ones here are all blood elixirs, not ordinary ones like this."
His voice died, replaced by a scream.
Because of this stone it suddenly stood up!
【Onix】
[Required mental power per unit: 99]
[Comprehensive combat power: D-]
"There's a monster!"
This scream was the beginning of the disaster. When Onix slapped the worker in front of it to death with its tail, the surrounding blood ore suddenly cracked, and round stones suddenly popped out one after another. No, these were not stones, because they had arms!
【Small Fist Stone】
[Required mental power per unit: 49]
【Comprehensive combat effectiveness: E+】
Geodude knocked over the nearest worker with a charge, then rushed over and beat him to death with a flurry of punches, then dispersed to chase the others.
Onix was strangling the workers like a ruthless meat grinder. Its bloodstained appearance was truly terrifying.
New Geodudes emerged from the swamp one after another, blocking the workers' escape route. People all showed desperate expressions.
This change happened so suddenly that Roger was stunned for a while before he smiled.
This is a new monster that has never been seen before, and he has new monsters to catch!
He showed up regardless of the workers' surprise, used the Mage's Hand to grab a small Geodude, and quickly threw a Poké Ball at it before it could struggle!
The Poké Ball opened in mid-air, and Geodude turned into a stream of light and was collected into the ball.
"Perfect!"
Roger couldn't help but clench his fists, but the next second, the Poké Ball suddenly opened and the angry Geodude rushed out!
Capture failed!
"ah?"
He looked confused. How come he failed to capture it?
He flashed to avoid the impact of Geodude, but Onix used Rock Slide on him, and a large amount of rocks fell towards Roger.
"Earth-attributed magic? It fits the appearance quite well," he dodged easily, thinking about why he failed to capture it just now.
I thought that I could definitely catch the monster if I just threw the Poké Ball.
"[Surprise Attack on Demonic Gravel]"
Roger used his newly learned magic.
Onix was repeatedly attacked by magic from behind, which made it very troubled.
Taking advantage of this excellent opportunity, Roger used the Giant Mage's Hand to control Onix's body. In this brief moment, a huge hailstone had formed above its head.
"If I weaken it, will it be able to escape?"
The hailstones came crashing down, hitting me right on the head!
Onix fell down with a wail. This was a good opportunity to capture it, so Roger took out the even rarer Super Ball.
"roar--"
As if he had calculated the timing perfectly, before he threw the super ball in his hand, a roar suddenly came from the air.
It seemed like something fell down, and after touching the ground, it immediately happened - it exploded!
"What's going on?"
Roger was blown into a terrible state by the sudden explosion. What was even more terrible was that a series of explosions went off around him. If he was hit, he would be dead without a burial place.
While dodging, he looked up.
Then he showed an extremely surprised expression.
Because the thing flying in the sky is a dragon! Another dragon he had been dreaming about!
[Exploding Scale Dragon]!
