Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Deep into the Mine_l

Translator: 549690339

Upon entering the mine, everything was suddenly shrouded in darkness without the silver moonlight.

At the same time, a thick, damp smell, mixed with the pungent odor of earth and animal feces, struck them.

Leo Ray’s pupil faintly flickered with starlight in the next second, and the surroundings inside the mine gradually became clear.

Without a doubt, this was the night vision effect of his Tier 5 pendant, the [Blessing of the Southern Cross] Star Pupil.

Stepping on the muddy ground mixed with stones and broken rails, Leo squinted and observed that the area was about 100 square meters and belonged to the mine’s hall.

Inside the hall, there were scattered damaged mine carts and broken tools, as well as a few strangely skeletoned demon beast carcasses, appearing utterly chaotic.

Following the broken rail towards the end of the hall, a new tunnel appeared, leading directly into the depths of the mine.

“Sir Christopher, if we follow that passage, we can reach the demon beast’s lair, and the treasures should be in the deepest part of the lair,” Solomon Rue whispered carefully as he approached the entrance to the tunnel.

By then, he had already lit a torch in one hand while tightly gripping a tarnished short sword in the other.

After taking a brief pause, Solomon swallowed nervously and continued with a stern look on his face, “Sir Christopher, those demon beasts resemble armored spiders. They are almost invulnerable and extremely ferocious, with their tails emitting a blue light.”

While his throat quivered, Solomon went on, “Last time, five of our subordinates combined couldn’t cover our retreat out of that mine tunnel. The losses were devastating.”

Upon hearing this, both Sylvia and the Tier 1 subordinates behind them couldn’t help but show a lingering fear on their faces.

“Armored spiders?”

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray stroked his chin and murmured thoughtfully, “Could it be Black Steel Spiders?”

When they first met Merchant Kenneth and Hannah Shawn in the woods, Serena Clark easily shot down a giant Black Steel Spider that was more than a meter long from a tree.

“My Lord, judging by the scent and description, the demon beasts in this mine should be the Blue-tailed Ore Spiders, which belong to the same family as the Black Steel Spiders.”

At this moment, Gideon Black’s elegant voice sounded in Leo’s ear, “The power of these spiders is roughly equal to that of the Black Steel Spiders, generally between Tier 1 Eight-Star and Tier 1 Nine-Star, and they are active in mines all year round.”

After a slight pause, Gideon pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and added, “Also, there are two primary habits of Blue-tailed Ore Spiders: first, attacking innocent miners, and second, collecting beautiful ores.”

“I see.”

With a slight nod, Leo Ray contemplated for a moment before quietly saying to the five apparent and hidden subordinates, “You guys hold back for now; these spiders are perfect for me to practice on.”

Undoubtedly, his current strength was Tier 2 Five-star.

Combined with high-tier weapons, Frightening Flash, the Mirage Illusion Skill, and other trump cards, he could easily deal with these demon beasts that hadn’t even reached the Tier 1 Peak.

Thinking of this, Leo Ray unsheathed his Rolanddel from his waist.

He attached his internal energy to the blade, and with his intentional control, the radiance emitted by this Tier 5 longsword, comparable to the Coldflame Royal Family’s National Guardian Divine Weapon, was minimized.

Even so, it still caused the mouths of Solomon and Sylvia, as well as their subordinates, to gape in awe.

Although they didn’t know the grade of the longsword, it was undoubtedly a rare and powerful divine weapon!

“Alright, let’s keep moving.”

With a faint smile, under the amazed gazes of the others, Leo Ray held the sword across his chest and walked in the lead again.Like this, following the broken, worn tracks in the narrow, damp mine tunnel, they had moved forward for about twenty minutes.

By now, the walls of the mine had begun to show scattered giant spider webs and even more small demon beast corpses, making the already dark and damp enclosed environment even more oppressive.

With his extraordinary perception, Leo Ray could clearly sense this.

As the team went deeper into the mine, the heartbeats of Solomon Rue, Sylvia Moore, and the others behind him became increasingly faster, clearly being in a very tense state.

Shaking his head slightly, Leo Ray continued to move forward.

Just now, through Gideon Black’s perception, he could confirm that there were a total of ten Blue-tailed Ore Spiders in the lair. As long as they didn’t appear at the same time, they would hardly pose any threat.

Not long after, as the smell of blood grew stronger, Leo Ray noticed.

The ghastly white webs around him had almost completely covered the entire mine tunnel.

Even the ground was covered with a thick layer, giving people the feeling of stepping on a poor-quality carpet.

At this moment, with the help of the night vision effect of the Star Pupil, Leo Ray could clearly see the entrance to the lair not far away.

“Lord, the spiders in the lair have noticed our presence, and two of them are rushing towards us quickly,”

Immediately after, Gideon Black’s voice came again.

“Very well, they’re finally here, huh?”

Signaling the people behind him to stop, Leo Ray took a deep breath and clenched his Rolanddel.

patter…patter…

In an instant, a dense, drumbeat-like sound of footsteps abruptly entered everyone’s ears.

In the empty cave, the strange sound echoed, causing an involuntary sense of fear.

“Mr. Christopher, be careful. Those… those terrible demon beasts are coming!”

Hearing the sound, Solomon Rue’s face immediately showed a trace of panic, tremblingly saying.

Beside him, Sylvia Moore, who held a logging axe, had a tense expression on her pretty face, her delicate body trembling slightly.

As for the farmers around them, they were even paler, hardly able to hold their crude weapons.

“Leave it to me.”

On the other hand, Leo Ray’s calm voice came from the front of the team, that somewhat alleviated everyone’s panic, as they nervously watched.

The next second, two shallow blue lights, one above and one below, appeared in Leo Ray’s vision like fluttering fireflies.

Immediately after, the silhouettes of two giant spiders gradually became clearer, just as Solomon Rue had described, with a deep blue light emanating from their tails.

Upon closer look, these Blue-tailed Ore Spiders had a similar metallic texture all over their bodies as the Black Steel Spiders.

But even more striking were their eight orderly arranged single eyes on their heads and their sharp, horrifying fangs dripping with an unknown liquid, which made one feel a chill down their spine.

Of course, for Leo Ray, who had once been in the center of a battlefield, this was nothing shocking.

Facing one opponent on the ground and one on the ceiling, both attacking at high speed, Leo Ray still had a calm expression, wielding his longsword and heading straight toward them..
