This Lich Needs More Money Chapter 245

Chapter 245 I'm so smart

 Dark, dreary, and dangerous are all words used to describe the underdark, but they are not accurate enough.

This is a space far larger than the surface of the earth, with a unique ecology and rules. One of the most important rules is that when you see dead bodies and black roses, you must crawl on the ground. You may be able to survive by being as humble as an ant.

 Don't think about escaping, Black Rose will catch up and turn you into one of the dead bodies.

 Just recently, someone is provoking the majesty of the corpse and the rose.

It is rare to see large, flat natural spaces in the Underdark. Many tribes live in various maze-like passages, living like mice crawling around.

Only those huge forces with a large population can transform the underground space through various methods, build huge buildings, and allow a large number of people to reproduce.

 Beyond these forces, there is a terrifying world where the weak and the strong eat each other.

A team with corpses and black rose badges is moving forward in the twists and turns of underground tunnels. They are a team that transports ore. After digging it out from various veins, they perform simple processing on the spot, and then transport it to the mercury city to be cast. into metal ingots.

Minerals have always been a specialty of the Underdark, but the owner of Mercury City is turning the ores into her own specialty.

This monster not only inherits the agility talent of the elves, but also many characteristics of the giant spider. Just now, the two monsters were lying on the top of the passage in ambush, waiting until the truck passed by before jumping down.

Judging from their clothing and faces that are not completely rotten, these zombies seem to be transformed from drow elves.

Anyway, these drow elves are so elusive that they have caused a lot of trouble to Mercury City.

 After killing all the zombies escorting the ore, the spider drow brandished his weapon and destroyed the wheels of the truck.

"Death knight?!"

 The long furry legs fell down and pierced the bodies of several drow zombies pulling the cart.

This kind of spider-like drow has the upper body of an elf, and it wields a scimitar with great skill, cutting the dwarf zombies on the minecart into pieces in the blink of an eye.

They were two spiders about the same size as a minecart, but where their heads should have been, there was the upper body of a drow.

Just as these zombies were pulling the car to a fork in the road, two huge black figures suddenly fell on the top of the corridor.

The moment the truck was destroyed, some kind of trap magic seemed to be activated. A blue light flashed, and a death knight wrapped in heavy black armor appeared in front of these spider drows.

But this time, the situation is a little different.

 The minecart not only contained ore, but also two zombies wearing leather armor and holding long whips, who looked like underground gnomes. Once upon a time, the underground gnomes were also slaves of the drow, but who would have thought that it would be the other way around after death.

The two spider drow were not without panic. If there were a group of death knights, they would definitely turn around and run away, but just one was nothing.

Attacks like this have been going on for several days.

The two spider-morphed drow had a very clear purpose. After trampling several drow zombies to death, they waved their scimitars towards the dwarf zombies.

The spider drow is a monster born after the drow elves underwent an extremely vicious ritual and merged with the spider.

This is the counterattack of the drow elves. Although I don't know why this group of black skins suddenly had the courage to resist, and I don't know where they got so many spider drows.

In the previous harassment, it was not like they had never encountered the death knights of Mercury City, and their combat effectiveness was only about this.

 Dozens of rotting zombies were dragging huge trucks slowly. Iron chains penetrated directly into the bodies of these zombies and were buckled on their spines, making them look like animals.

 Mercury City's metal ingot production has been severely affected, with daily output reduced by at least 15%.

In this way, even if the undead from Mercury City come over, it will only take a few hours to move the truck away and reopen this passage.

Vicious and cruel are the nature of drow. After transforming into spider drow, this character will be infinitely amplified. After confirming that there is only one death knight for support, the two spider drow rushed towards the death knight.

 Venom and cobwebs were shot from both sides, covering almost any space that could be avoided.

The venom of the spider drow is highly corrosive and can corrode the death knight's armor cleanly. The spider web has strong stickiness and can completely bind the death knight's body.

 Then, just chop off the death knight's head to completely kill this high-level undead.

 They have used this ability to kill several death knights before, and they are quite skilled in cooperating with them.

 But this time their tricks completely failed.

The venom fell on the black heavy armor. It did not make a sizzling sound, but fell directly to the ground. The armor did not suffer any damage.

The flying white sticky threads were blocked by a spear, and the spear twisted the spider threads into a ball.

Before the two spider elves could recover from the accident, the spear wrapped in spider silk had already hit one of the spider elves on the head.

Even though there was thick spider silk as a buffer, this blow still directly broke the spider elf's neck, causing his huge body to roll sideways, and then hit the wall of the corridor hard. The body of the spider drow with a broken neck was twitching wildly, and its eight spider legs drew sparks on the ground, illuminating the dim underground passage.

The black rose on the death knight's chest appeared in the firelight, as well as the bright eyes.

This death knight's left eye is a light blue color common to the undead, which is the light of soul fire, but his right eye is a blazing orange color, as if it is constantly burning.

The remaining spider drow knew that he was in big trouble. This death knight was no ordinary thing. He decisively dropped his half-dead companion. His spider legs moved quickly and he retreated.

The flexibility of the spider's legs far exceeds that of humans. The spider-turned drow retreated as fast as running at full speed. In the blink of an eye, it was more than ten meters away, completely submerged in the shadows.

When entering a completely dark position, the spider drow seemed to melt and escape into the shadows, and then quickly ran away into the distance.

The death knight looked into the depths of the darkness with her orange eyes. The spider-like drow that escaped into the darkness turned into a shadow that kept moving outward in her eyes.

“My mother is right, I can see everything with this eye.”

Melina, who was just a few days old, was entrusted by the Queen of Rose with an important task, asking her to catch the people behind these spider-formed drow and completely solve the recent troubles in Mercury City.

Although Melina has little combat experience, her body and soul were carefully adjusted and created.

 Her right eye can see through all hidden things. She is wearing the best magic armor, and she also has a special mount grown from the Whispering Tree.

These three things alone are enough to crush these spider drow.

Not to mention that Melina's body is made from the corpses of three legendary orcs, and her strength and agility far exceed the standards of a death knight.

 Give her some time, and she might be able to have a head-to-head contest with Gareth, the Headless Horseman.

Melina is still immature now, and this mastermind is a test for her.

Melina was very grateful to her mother who gave her life and decided to complete this task beautifully.

After the spider drow ran far away, Melina summoned her mount and chased after the spider drow.

Melina deliberately let this monster run away. As long as she follows this monster, she should be able to find the mastermind behind it, right?

 “I'm so smart!” Melina said happily.

However, after chasing for dozens of kilometers in a maze-like underground passage, Melina came to an empty cave. Just as she entered the cave, dozens of spider-like drow descended from the sky and completely surrounded her.

The spider drow who had just fled hastily said proudly: "Hahaha, do you think I don't know you are following me?!"

Melina's eyes widened in shock. Her flawless plan was actually discovered?

Melina asked loudly: "How did you find out? I'm so far away!"

The spider-turned-drow mocked: "Idiot, don't you know how far the sound of your horse's hooves can travel? This is underground, and the sound can travel more than ten kilometers!"

Melina said excitedly: "I'm not a fool! I'm smart!"

The spider drow thought he was sure of victory and continued to mock: "Hahaha, this idiot is as stupid as a newborn child."

Other spider drow also laughed viciously. They liked nothing more than trampling on the dignity of others.

However, while they were laughing crazily, a black hurricane suddenly appeared and crashed into these spider-shaped drow.

That was Melina urging her mount to charge towards the group of spider drow.

The fat lower bodies of these spider-turned drow were like skins filled with water. They were pierced one by one by Melina's spears, and then exploded with a bang. Broken limbs and broken arms were flying everywhere. It only took one charge to kill these spider-turned drow. More than a dozen were killed.

Other spider drow wanted to trap Melina by spitting spider silk, but they were shocked to find that the silk only flew a short distance before falling to the ground feebly.

 A spider-turned drow exclaimed loudly: "The spider web spell has failed, what's going on!"

Half of the spider-like drow's silk spewing is physiological instinct, and the other half is assisted by spells to ensure that the spider silk can accurately hit the target it wants to bind.

But these spider-turned drow suddenly found that the magic power in their bodies was imprisoned, and they were completely unable to cast spells. The spitting of spider silk was like some diseases that men cannot talk about in middle age, close and powerless.

Not only the spider web spell, these spider drow found that they could not even escape. Their magic to escape into the shadows was also imprisoned and could no longer be cast.

It was not until the last spider drow was pierced by Melina's spear that he recognized Melina's mount before he died. Isn't that faint blue light the unique light of the Whispering Tree?

How could this undead knight use Qing Yumu as his mount?

Melina would not give him any answers. With a flick of the spear, the spider drow was thrown into dozens of **** pieces.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Melina wanted to smile with satisfaction, but suddenly she reacted: "Oh no, none of the corpses are complete. I can't even talk to the dead. How can I find the mastermind behind this?"

Melina had doubts about her IQ for the first time. Was she really a fool?
