Faced with this sudden attack, the entire adventure team suddenly became confused. Direclaws are considered to be high-level existences in the food chain underground. Their shells as solid as rocks cover their bodies like armor. They are like scissors.

Their huge claws allow them to easily cut a person in half. They are fierce, good at fighting, and tireless.

For any adventure team, the Direclaw is a formidable enemy.

A monster nearly three meters tall jumped out from Zhan's side. It opened its sharp beak and let out a harsh and unpleasant cry. Its sharp claws mixed with the sound of howling wind tore through the darkness, and it rushed towards the mage in front of it.

past.

But Zhan's reaction was far faster than the Direclaw imagined.

Although as a mage, when facing the attack of the Dreadclaw monster, he should keep as far away as possible and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. But Zhan did not do this. In fact, facing the Dreadclaw monster, he even

He didn't even move, he just stretched out his hand and pointed forward.

The next moment, the roaring flames ruthlessly sprayed out from Zhan's fingers, completely wrapping the Dreadclaw monster inside. They were not just ordinary flames, they twisted their bodies like some kind of snakes with a collective will.

It also quickly extended inward along the cracks in the rock shell of the Dreadclaw.

Before the giant claw smashed Zhan's head, the Direclaw stopped moving. It shook its body in pain and kept retreating. The shell that was originally used to protect itself has now become the most deadly thing of the Direclaw.

The threat. The blazing flames devoured its flesh and blood mercilessly, and burned more and more vigorously.

The current Direclaw monster is like a walking stone stove, with flames burning inside, but unable to vent. The strong stone armor skin blocks their leakage, which makes the Direclaw monster feel unprecedented pain.

“Shua…………!!”

And just when the Terrorclaw tried to break away from the flames, Enoa had already blocked Zhan's body with an arrow, and then she held her right hand in vain and swung it forward - a long whip condensed with thunder and lightning appeared like this.

In the hands of the undead girl, a series of dizzying phantoms were brought through the air, and they were slapped hard on the huge body of the Direclaw monster.

"boom!!"

The huge sound made by the thunder whip hitting the body of the Direclaw shook the entire tunnel, and dust poured downwards. The loud sound echoing in the tunnel even made other people unable to stand. And

The unlucky Terrorclaw monster was pushed away directly and hit a corner of the tunnel. The rubble collapsed, burying the huge body in it - no one could see what was there at this time.

Something.

This loud noise also attracted other warring parties. This kind of thunder that only occurs on the surface is a quite new experience for any underground dweller, not to mention that it is almost in your ears.

This is especially true when the edge explodes.

At the same time, the banshees also started taking action.

They emerged from the void, let out a piercing scream, opened their arms and rushed towards the Terrorclaw monsters. From the appearance, these banshees were so slender and fragile, and one slap from the Terrorclaw monsters was enough to kill them.

Completely broken into pieces.

But in fact this was not the case. The attacks mixed with anger passed through the bodies of the banshees, but they were not able to hurt them at all. On the contrary, the banshees stretched out their arms and easily passed through the extremely solid body of the Terrorclaw.

, the armor that even swords cannot penetrate, firmly grasps its inner parts.

Soul and life.

Feeling the approach of death, the Direclaw began to fight back. It gave up the bloody bugbear in its hands, screamed and trembled, and retreated. But the banshee grabbed it tightly, and there was a gap between the two.

It was as if there was an invisible chain connecting it. She grew up the dark eye holes and opened her mouth. Soon, bursts of white light emerged from the Dreadclaw monster's features, condensing into a stream and being sucked in by the banshee.

In the mouth.

Immediately afterwards, the huge lifeless body fell to the ground.

The raid came and ended quickly. In the blink of an eye, all five Terrorclaw monsters were completely wiped out. To those adventurers, these monsters were terrifying beasts. But to the undead, all living things were nothing.

It's just a fragile toy.

But even so, Verna's adventure team also suffered a certain degree of damage. A total of five bugbears and three orc warriors were killed in this raid. They all died in the initial raid. Except

In addition, many people suffered varying degrees of injuries.

“What a hell!!”

While instructing her mercenaries to remove the things from the dead people for "recycling", Verna paced her feet viciously. This time she really got off to a bad start, encountering five Terrorclaw monsters at once.

Such things are rarely seen underground. Even Verna is not sure whether she is lucky or bad.

Thinking of this, she once again glanced at Zhan En and Enoa who were standing not far away. This time, there was some hesitation in Verna's eyes.

Although Zhan did not perform too much in the battle just now, Verna has discovered that he is a very powerful mage. On the surface, everything Zhan did is ordinary, and any mage can do it.

It can be done. But in fact, Verna knows very well how powerful Zhan's magic is.

Even for mages, the Direclaw is a formidable enemy. Its hard armor not only resists weapons, but also resists magic bombardment. But Zhan can easily control the magic flames to penetrate into the skin.

Gap, this ability to transform fire into elements, even in the cities of the dark elves, Verna had only seen it in the most powerful magicians.

Not to mention that this is a necromancer in front of him, and elemental spells are not his specialty. If Zhan used a necromancy spell to kill the Terrorclaw, Verna would definitely not be surprised, but it is very strange that he would actually use a necromancer.

The elemental spell that she was good at killed a Terrorclaw, which was simply a shock to Verna.

If the heat-sensing vision of the dark elves had not clearly told Verna that what was wrapped under the black cloak was a living life, Verna would have even doubted whether it was a lich that had lived for hundreds of thousands of years.

Zhan noticed the temptation from Verna, but he didn't care about it. At this moment, he was standing in front of the corpse of a Terrorclaw, whispering something to his lieutenant.

"This is unscientific... Why did the Deinonychus come here? This is not their hunting ground, and there is nothing worthy of the Deinonychus' attention."

Looking at the dead bodies in front of him, Zhan shook his head. Since there was a gathering place of Terrorclaw monsters near his dungeon, Zhan was very familiar with the habits of these monsters.

"I think they don't look right."

Enoa also had the same view on her master's question. Although the Direclaws were stupid, they were not fools. But the way they fought just now was no different from a group of idiots. If these guys are really so easy to deal with, then James

Well, Enoa and I can already clean up all the garbage around the dungeon.

"There's definitely something wrong with them."

Zhan En does not doubt Enoa's judgment, and the reason is very simple. Because at this moment, the battle information has appeared on the system panel in front of Zhan En.

[The Banshee Guard launched an attack on a "manipulated Terrorclaw", causing 20x3 points of damage]

[The Banshee Guards launched an attack on a "manipulated Terrorclaw", causing 30x3 points of damage, critical hit +5]

[The Banshee Guard killed the "manipulated Terrorclaw" and gained 130 experience points]

………………

……………

Seeing this, Zhan's heart skipped a beat. It's not easy to control something like the Dreadclaw. Even for Zhan, it's easy to kill these monsters, but it's very difficult to make them obedient. But from now on

From the current sober point of view, these Terrorclaw monsters are obviously controlled by something. Not only that, I am afraid that the other party has already noticed their arrival, otherwise, it is impossible to lay an ambush in such a place.

"It seems that we may encounter an interesting enemy this time."

Retracting his gaze from the Direclaw corpse, Zhan En murmured to himself. As for who controlled the Direclaw monster, Zhan En had no clue. This was not because there were no clues, but because in the Underdark,

There are too many races with this ability. In the worst case, there might be an illithid hidden inside.

If this is really the case, then even Zhan En, who is a demon, will feel somewhat troubled.

Well, more or less.

"Master Mage."

Just when Zhan was frowning and thinking, a voice suddenly came from the side. He looked up and saw Verna standing uncomfortably not far from him. And noticing Zhan's gaze, Verna

Na's right hand twitched uncomfortably, as if she wanted to do something. But in the end, she just stretched out her hand to hold the hilt of the sword at her waist, then took a breath, forced herself to calm down, and then looked at Zhan

En said.

"Master Mage, I think you have discovered that this place is very dangerous. I think that if we continue to spread out like before, we may cause unnecessary losses to both of us. If possible..."

Speaking of this, Verna was obviously hesitant. In fact, she didn't want to do this, but her subordinates obviously hoped that the necromancer could also stand on their side. After all, they had seen with their own eyes just how powerful the mage was.

The monster that I couldn't kill even with all my strength, I didn't even walk in front of the opponent. Not everyone has this kind of powerful power.

Therefore, most of Verna's subordinates hope that the Necromancer can "take care of" them. After all, both parties have the same goal. Wouldn't it be good to help each other?

Verna was not very willing to do this, but since her subordinates said so, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and come over to ask. After all, for Verna, she also hoped that her losses would be as small as possible. Otherwise, she would have completed the mission.

, I’m afraid I won’t get much benefit from returning to Brandon Stone City.

Of course, Verna is also very clear about the virtues of gray dwarves.

But Zhan En didn't say much. On the contrary, he just stretched out his hand and waved, and then spoke.

"I understand, I will go with you."
