Struggle in the Steam Age

For extraordinary people, the strengthened body can get a lot of bonuses when doing many things. So even in an unfamiliar environment like underwater, the four crossbow arrows shot by Lawrence and Safir all traveled a distance of more than ten meters and hit the sahuagin.

The strengthened crossbow bolts have extremely strong armor-piercing and killing effects, especially the rather powerful special enchantment that Nora prepared before. So although only one of the four crossbow arrows was considered to have faced the vital point of the murlocs, but only a few seconds later, the four sahuagin guards who were hit were all killed on the spot and floated up.

At this time, Lawrence and Safiel had successfully swam towards the entrance of the cave at high speed through this chaos, while throwing away the empty underwater crossbow in their hands and taking advantage of the other two crossbows hanging on their waists. He raised it up, and shot the second batch of crossbow arrows at the murloc guards in a mess at the entrance of the cave.

Since the second batch of crossbow bolts was fired in a violent movement, only two of the four crossbow bolts hit even though the distance between the two sides was closer. Even so, these two batches of crossbow bolts managed to wipe out half of the guards at the entrance of the cave and forced the remaining survivors to seek cover.

And this gave Lawrence and the others an excellent opportunity. The two took advantage of each other's avoidance to cross the distance from the hiding place to the entrance of the cave. Then they each used their weapons and magic to attack the sahuayu who had fled in all directions to avoid the one-hit deadly crossbow bolts.

After a few squeaks, Lawrence and Safir successfully killed the remaining six sahuagin with magic and one-handed rapier respectively, and then they put the corpses of these murlocs on the inside of the cave. Fixed in one place to avoid floating out to attract the attention of the surrounding patrols, and then quickly swam into the cave.

Although it is said that Nora disarmed all the magic traps and sirens in the cave after eliminating the witch doctor inside, judging from the sahuagin patrols that kept swimming around, they were here. Side's actions may be discovered at any time. Therefore, Lawrence and Safir got rid of the guards in front of the door and moved towards her as quickly as possible along the passage that the little puppet had just found.

Along the way, they also encountered the two sahuagin patrols swimming around in the cave, but because the patrols did not know that Lawrence and the others had already attacked at this time, they encountered Lawrence and the two of them. One was successfully wiped out in the first time.

I have to say that the special arrows of the underwater crossbow guns that Lawrence prepared before have really good effects, especially in such a narrow tunnel. For example, when meeting a sahuagin team around the corner, the arrow shot from the crossbow gun in Lawrence's hand penetrated the bodies of three sahuagins and nailed the fourth murloc's arm to the ground. on the wall.

At the same time, Safiel rushed out from behind him, and quickly kicked his legs on the surrounding rock walls to accelerate. With this speed, she slid past the team in front of the team that was confused by the crossbow just now, and used the rapier in her hand to create a fist-sized blood hole in the throats of the two guys.

After Safir rushed past the sahuagin patrol team, the sahuagin murlocs behind him had all lost their lives and floated quietly in the water. But also because of the wounds she made on the sahuagin, a faint smell of blood began to diffuse along the cave to the surroundings.

Because of this small omission, their encounter with another patrol of sahuagin turned into an encounter. The sahuagin have a very good sense of smell in the water, so even though the bloody smell around them is actually very weak, it still aroused their vigilance and used the terrain to launch a defense.

However, just when these sahuagin patrols were ready to defend themselves and stared in the direction of the cave entrance. Some silk threads floated down the water from their backs and wrapped around their bodies. Because of the softness of these silk threads, these ordinary sahuagin who are not superhumans have not discovered this at all.

As soon as all the silk threads were in place, those threads immediately transformed into terrifying sharp blades and sliced ​​these murlocs into sashimi. Then Nora's voice sounded in Lawrence's mind: "Okay, you can come in directly. The other patrol team, which is also the last group of murlocs in this cave, has been killed by me."

"Good job, but—if possible next time, I think you should try not to cut this thing into pieces." Looking at the cave that was almost sealed by a pile of sahuagin fragments and blood, Lawrence While waving his hands to clear a cleaner passage, he muttered to Nora, "It's good to be vigilant, but avoid being too sensitive. For example, when you face ordinary sahuagin, it's enough to cut their throats. They need to be cut into pieces."

"Understood, my lord." Nora said in a protracted voice, "Many of the enemies I encountered before were the kind of guys who didn't even have a human figure, and they can only be killed by cutting them up. So What I am doing now is just accidentally bringing over the habits of that time, and I will try my best to correct it in the future.

A few minutes later, Lawrence and Nora successfully merged together in the huge cave. After entering the cave, Lawrence first saw a large pit with a height of about two floors below the cave. It's just that the big pit is now empty, and it seems that there is nothing in it. It's just that at the bottom of the big pit, there are some strange lines and runes that seem to have been smeared with blood after carving.

"I've collected all the Roka murloc eggs." Nora said, just after the battle ended, she opened a door in the ocean of the New Territory plane, and then put all the eggs stored in this big pit. All the Roka murloc fish eggs were brought back to the warm shallow sea of ​​the Astral Plane along the current. "What should we do next?"

"I think we should retreat now as we did when we came here." Lawrence said after thinking for a while. Based on the knowledge he had, he could of course deduce that there might be some valuable loot in this place, and it is more likely There are logistics points set up by the sahuagin people. But compared to the rokamurm fish eggs that have been obtained now, whether it is searching for loot or destroying the logistics of the sahuagin people can be put back or given up directly.

"My lord brother, sometimes you are too conservative." Nora said with a slight smile, and then opened the space door of the astral plane. "But you're right. Our gains this time are already big enough, so let's let the gains rest in our pockets now. Because fate will not favor those greedy guys."

After Lawrence and Safiel entered the space door, the space door closed immediately. Then Nora applied invisibility magic to herself to hide her figure, and then quickly swam towards the exit.

I have to say that Lawrence's advice to act cautiously at this time is quite valuable, because just after Nora swam out of the cave entrance, she saw several sahuagin patrol teams moving at an abnormally high speed. Quickly swam to the location of the hole.

Apparently, the sahuagin side had set up some security systems in the cave that Lawrence and the others didn't know about, so the patrols outside were able to discover the problem in the cave in such a short period of time.

Fortunately, in this way, the security system built by the surrounding sahuagin patrols was completely chaotic, revealing a lot of flaws. Taking this opportunity, Nora, who was invisible, quickly rose to the surface of the water, and then flew in the direction she came from.
