0041 Chapter Ambush at the entrance
After leaving the laboratory, the magic encryption door was closed again. If you want to open it, you may need the next adventurer who challenges the magic "Elimination Joy" to appear.
Without too much hesitation, Lu Haocang took Holt and Ritch back the same way, leaving the depths of the mine with map guidance, and they had no worries about getting lost. They also avoided the congested places of monsters along the way, and came to the upper floor of the mine easily and safely.
"I finally saw the sun again. It's great. I still like the world on the ground!" Holt moved his body for a while, looking quite excited. After staying under the mine for a long time, he felt that he was too humid and didn't feel the same way.
"I didn't expect that I could still come out alive." Ritchie sighed. He originally thought he would die in the mine, and being rescued by Lu Haocang and the others was indeed an accident.
"Hahaha! You have to thank Master Agula very well! By the way, when you return to Sailan Town, remember to treat you to dinner!" Holt reached out to put his hand over Ricci's shoulder, and spoke as if I was an old man in the team.
Ritchie laughed dryly and nodded quickly. If Lu Haocang and Holt did not appear, he might have become the food ration for Mannino Spider.
Lu Haocang didn't think much about this. Saving Ricky was just a way to do it. As for whether it could get a reward, it was not within the scope of consideration. If the latter had a little conscience, then Lu Haocang would be quite pleased.
"Hmm?" Lu Haocang has now developed a habit of using exploration skills every five minutes to confirm whether there are new changes around him. This time, he saw two green dots appear on the map, which happened to be near the exit of the mine.
As expected, Lu Haocang inferred that these two green dots should be Hanson and Grace. As for why the other party was near the exit of the mine, Lu Haocang thought that the other party was likely to ambush there. He knew that there were other people in the mine and planned to reap the benefits of a fisherman.
Regardless of whether the inference is correct or not, Lu Haocang has a sense of defense and reveals murderous intent in his eyes.
Hansen has provoked many times. If he follows Lu Haocang's previous personality, he may remain silent. As an anchor, he must first learn to be patient and endure the "rumor" or "worrying" of many viewers.
But now it’s different. After being reborn, Lu Haocang came to Atlans and became the devil king. Although his strength is average now (compared to other devil kings), he is definitely not easy to bully. If necessary, Lu Haocang will kill without hesitation.
After all, adventurers will have many conflicts before, and the union will not say much, and this is still in the wild, so it is normal for accidents to happen.
"..." Lu Haocang did not stop, but continued to move forward, pretending that he didn't know anything. He wanted to see what Hansen and Grace were going to do.
Holt and Ritch naturally had no idea. The two continued to walk towards the exit of the mine, not caring about Lu Haocang's slowdown and the fact that they were behind them.
The road in front of us is gradually brightening, and the exit of the mine is ahead.
"Awesome, I finally got out..." Seeing the exit, Ritchie couldn't help but trotted two steps, wanting to feel the fresh air in advance.
"Click!" "Hey?"
Before Ritchie could finish his words, the moment he stepped out of the hole and welcomed the sun, his body lost balance, stepped on the air, and he fell into the ground.
"What's going on? There's an ambush...uh!"
Ricky reacted quickly. He thought of himself falling into a trap at the first time, but he really didn't expect someone to set up an ambush at the entrance of the cave. The moment he walked out of the mine just now, he was in a state of relaxation and did not alert him at all.
"Puff!"
Ritchie was about to remind Lu Haocang and Holt behind him that two black shadows came quickly, one after another, and penetrated Ritchie's chest and forehead respectively.
“-253!” “-266!”
Blood and red and white objects splattered everywhere, two bright red numbers emerged from the top of Ricky's head, and the blood bars came to the bottom. In an instant, as a shield warrior, he was killed instantly.
All this happened in the blink of an eye. Holt, not far behind Rich, didn't react. Then he found that Rich had half of his body sunk into the ground, and had a sharp arrow inserted into his chest and forehead. Where did he die?
"Oh, I'll go! What exactly happened? Who is it?" Holt came to his senses, screamed, pulled out his sword, and was alert to find who attacked them.
Lu Haocang, who was behind, watched coldly, and had no trouble with Ricky's death. Through the performance of the research room, Lu Haocang judged that Ricky was not a trustworthy companion. Instead of putting an unstable factor around him, it would be better to play the final role - explore the way.
"Hmm? Ritchie!?" A shocked voice came from the entrance of the cave because they saw Ritchie clearly.
"Damn it! How could it be him? He didn't die in the mine?" In the distance, the man holding a longbow in one hand walked over. When he saw that the target he was shooting was Ricci, he also showed a shocked expression on his face.
The figure with a short knife on the other side was Hansen and Grace.
They had encountered Manino Spiders in the mine before. Knowing that they were defeated, they resolutely chose to give up their two teammates and let them serve as bait, so as to get enough time to escape.
However, Hanson was not a person who gave up easily. Later, he returned to the place where they were attacked and found that the Manino Spider was no longer there. There were the priest's headless corpse and the tiny fragments of the mineral shell armor on the ground, and there were obvious traces of fighting around. It was concluded that someone came here to fight the Manino Spider, but the result was not clear.
Hansen guessed that it was also the Adventurer Team, and also accepted the commission to investigate the forest mine.
With a flash of inspiration, Hansen immediately made a decision, intending to ambush the exit of the mine, and take advantage of the moment when he just came out of the mine and relaxed his guard, and kill the adventurers who came out of the mine, so that they could seize their results in one fell swoop.
But what they never expected was that the first person to walk out of the cave was their former teammate, Ricci, which might have been considered a man-killing.
"Bastard! It's you! You actually killed your companions. Oh no, the original companions! It's so inhuman!" Seeing Hanson and Grace appearing in front of him, Holt widened his eyes and scolded angrily. In fact, he didn't expect that someone would ambush outside the entrance of the cave and want to kill them.
Holt hid in the dark of the mine and saw Hansen and Grace, despised their abandoned companions and ran away alone, but did not expect that the other party would do even more excessive things.
