Monster Collector [Unlimited]

underground tunnel.

A city's chronic health problems often lie in its sewers. This sentence also applies to the doll country that looks like a fairy tale.

After Gao Shang brought the two of them down, he looked up and looked around the sewer, and sighed deeply.

Dark, damp, the flowing underground river has a disgusting green color and emits an indescribable smell. The walls are covered with moss and unknown fungi, and sticky lumps are on it, making it difficult to even walk. Be careful, for fear of accidentally rubbing against it.

And this environment may just be dirty or make people unable to restrain the urge to vomit, but the real danger is hidden in the darkness.

The small red eyes peeped at their every move in the dark, and the small and broken sounds, accompanied by the sound of crawling, brought a gloomy and cold feeling.

It was rats. The plague of rats that erupted suddenly at the parade that day and then disappeared was not completely lost. Reports about rat activities were delivered to the king's desk one after another. In the reports, the rats ate food, Spreading disease, gnawing on puppets, and yet, incompetent bureaucrats didn't catch a single rat.

Because of this, the king, who resolutely rejected the daring action of the two eastern magicians that day, called them together again, announcing that they could try to use any special method they knew to solve the rat plague.

Dongfang Xiao obviously had a plan in his mind, and Gao Shang had countless doubts in his heart, but he couldn't follow him closely. This time, he was divided into two corners of the city and entered the sewer pipe with him.

"There's a lot of movement ahead, be careful when walking," Gao Shang told the two children following behind him, looking vigilantly at the shadow that flashed ahead, the monster was obviously bigger, "Su Mu ?”

Hearing the footsteps sounded a little wrong, he turned his head with some doubts, and saw Su Mu raised his hand innocently, indicating that he didn't touch anything on the wall.

Gao Shang: ...

Do you think I didn't see that little patch of moss you just put away?

He breathed a sigh of relief and planned to continue the safety education, but his tried and tested intuition sounded the alarm first: "No, where is Xie Changhe?"

"Isn't he just following me? He should also be observing the moss on the wall, right?" Su Mu didn't feel wrong at all, and said lazily, while turning around with his hands outstretched, he suddenly felt creepy.

Behind him, where the handsome and gentle young man should have followed, was darkness.

Xie Changhe is missing.

chap——

The match struck the side of the box, instantly lighting up a small flame, and before the flame went out, the candle was also lit, reflecting the deep and dark underground.

Wow, almost at the moment when the flames came on, hundreds of mice gathered at Xie Changli's feet scattered, but they didn't flee desperately, but quietly hid in the darkness, watching them Prey that may show its flaws at any time.

Xie Changli calmly confirmed the situation around him. He followed Gao Shang to explore the underground environment, but when he passed the corner, he was drawn to the next floor almost instantly.

Although Gao Shang's location to enter the sewer was temporarily chosen, they, a group of outsiders, had already attracted widespread attention. Dongfang Xiao always had a way to obtain information from various channels, and even set traps in advance.

No, if he had arranged the rat plague in the first place, and if he knew enough about the sewers, he would be successful if he set traps in the right places.

Obviously, this was a premeditated assassination.

According to Du Ya, the person who planned the plan should be Dongfang Xiao. After he gets more information, he will not think that Dongfang Xiao is the tool man NPC in this mission as simply and rudely as Gao Shang, but it seems more like he doesn't know. How to hide the identity of the players who came in.

The target was him, and the first attack planned by the other party was already in progress.

Xie Changli raised his head, and looked precisely at the direction in which the mice retreated. They had changed from staring at the easy prey to carefully curling up on both sides, making way for them like Moses dividing the sea.

Generally speaking, this kind of monsters that move in groups will have a clear class, and it must be a big guy who can make them treat them so carefully.

The corners of Xie Changli's mouth rose slowly, revealing a slight smile, if Su Mu was standing here at this moment, he would almost not be able to recognize him.

The black pupils that were always gentle and quiet in front of him were filled with excitement at this moment - this was the fanaticism of monsters that Gao Shang had mentioned more than once when he was teaching Su Mu before.

Soon, Xie Changli's deduction was verified. From the group of mice that gathered together, slowly walking out was a monster as big as a calf.The narrow passage kept vibrating with his actions, and the disgusting slimy moss or other weird plants shook from the top of his head.

Du Ya had followed in the dark before, and when Xie Changli landed on the ground, he also reacted quickly to catch up. At this moment, he flicked his feathers skillfully, and spread his wings to cover the unknown falling objects. By the way, he also did well Defense against giant calf-like monsters.

However, before he could do it, the green vines spontaneously intertwined in the air, blocking all the falling dust and moss.

The vines were struggling and shaking frantically but couldn't control their movements, and were soon covered in sticky things.

Although the vines, who were obviously in a state of silence, could not speak, but Du Ya had already felt the surging foul language in his heart, and it was worth praying for him silently in his heart.

Alas, why provoke brother Xie, why follow in the footsteps of your predecessors?

The calf-like mouse was not as slow as it appeared on the surface. When Xie Changli was dealing with the dirty things falling from the top of his head, its huge body turned into an afterimage almost instantly, straightening with terrifying force. If you hit the person directly against the wall, it would turn into a piece of flesh in an instant.

Ding dong, ding dong, Xie Changli slightly raised his left hand, and a silver bell tied with a black string was hanging on his wrist. As he turned his wrist, it made a crisp sound.

As if to cater to the crisp bell, one or two echoing cat meows came intermittently from the space above and below and in the darkness in the distance.

The voice is very soft, even soft, as if just waking up to ask the master to act like a baby, but the effect is excellent.

The rats that had been rushing at a high speed paused slightly, and the rats who were sticking to the wall and dare not enter the next battle also became restless, and an uneasy atmosphere permeated among them.

The huge monster quickly overcame the fear from its genetic instinct, and rushed forward again. At this moment, a big hole suddenly appeared in the passageway above its head, and a black shadow descended from the sky. Its sharp claws stretched out and clasped the monster's eyes. He fell down and grabbed hard.

The monster let out a roar in an instant, turned its body and began to struggle. At the same time, more and more black shadows continued to fall from the hole, or quickly joined the battle between the main force and the monster, or immediately scattered. , and began to strangle the mice hiding in the dark.

"Black cat?" Du Ya screamed, subconsciously alert, he had had enough of the group of green tea cats in the last dungeon.

Sure enough, a big, strong cat with smooth fur did not join the battle, but landed lightly on Xie Changli's shoulder, quietly squeezed Du Ya away, and nestled softly into his arms: "Meow~ "

It raised its pink paw pad and patted Xie Changli's shoulder lightly: "It's okay, it's not a big problem, just leave it to us, meow."

Xie Changli felt that this scene was very familiar, he put his slender fingers against the cat's chin and gently rubbed it, which resulted in a series of purring sounds.

Du Ya: ...

He swears and joins the fight.

Xie Changli looked at the fight in front of him. These cats had superb hunting skills and were natural enemies of mice. It was almost like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. Almost every claw accurately grasped the mouse's weakness, and even bit it directly. , Wherever he went, there was a splash of blood.

Even the monster that was as huge as a calf seemed extremely clumsy under their light and agile attacks, but died in a moment of desperate struggle.

But for a moment, there was only a pile of rat corpses piled up in this place.

After enjoying the massage service, the big cat harvested another pile of food reserves, landed lightly from Xie Changli's arms, meowed twice in satisfaction, and asked him where he planned to go.

"Go over there." Xie Changli followed into the sewer, he had some ideas at first, just when he was looking around, he found traces of someone's activities here, so he planned to follow the traces all the way.

On the other side of the sewer, Dongfang Xiao walked in the filth with a grim expression.

The situation has progressed to such a degree that he never expected it at the beginning. It is obviously a simple, clean and elegant task, but he has to work hard to catch mice in this environment.

Heh, he sneered, the talent skill flames spread from behind him, rolling up a group of rats in the darkness, the flames spread instantly, leaving behind a field of scorched corpses.

The swarm of rats is not something that already exists in the script arrangement. It seems that it is the key to this mission dungeon.

Of course, these things are meaningless to Dongfang Xiao who came here to be a gilded jerk, and it's not as important as helping him clear up his rival's assassination plan.

It's just that the speed of the killer's action this time is a bit too slow, Dongfang Xiao walked towards the key point according to the plan, thinking about it distractedly.

At this moment, a slight coolness rested on his neck, and the slightly cool blade touched his skin, almost instantly arousing goose bumps on his back.

Dongfang Xiao's pupils dilated, and the shadow of death had already enveloped his head before he could react.

Knife up and down.

"Wuhu," Huo Ye withdrew the knife, lightly dropped it from the stone above his head to the ground, flicked the blood off the knife slowly, and then took out the attached photo for comparison, "The task target has been confirmed, and it doesn't look like it was at the beginning. It’s great as you say.”

He muttered a few words and stood up, as if the whole person had been separated from the task state, all the muscles in his body were relaxed, and he shuffled forward without any image.

The silk thread climbed up the wall, using shadows to hide his figure, silently monopolizing his retreat and forward path, and a trace of faint blue leaked hinted at the poison.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Between the lightning and the flint, countless silk threads wove into a net and rushed towards the young killer in the corridor, and the brilliant knife light lit up simultaneously.

If the silk thread is fine and dense, then the light of the knife is like a mist, penetrating into every hole.

The silk thread broke layer by layer, fluttering and falling to the ground, like a layer of black snow.

In the snow, the two swayed against each other.

Huo Ye held the knife in one hand, his muscles were already tense, and he always remembered that they had to maintain the aura of the second class: "It's a bit interesting, as expected of the opponent that the president ordered to be taken seriously."

On the opposite side was Dongfang Xiao who was angry and furious: "Are you planning to take advantage of others?"
