Chapter 295 It's Really an Inside Job! (Additional Chapter for Your Monthly Votes)
Pete, who was beside Auston, suddenly lost his thickness and became like a paper man. He opened his arms and rushed towards Auston, as if he wanted to give Auston a bear hug.
Auston was too close to "Pete", but it was too late to draw his sword or dodge, and he didn't even have time to throw away the books in his hand that were in the way.
At this critical moment, a black knife shadow drew a beautiful arc on "Pete". Because the knife was drawn too quickly, the sound of the knife could be heard throughout the tomb.
"Pete" was split into two, becoming two pieces of leather that looked like human skin and animal skin.
The one who just drew the knife was, of course, Hobert.
He was originally ready to rush out of the tomb and leave here, but he soon found that the animal skin hanging on the wall was gone. He immediately understood what was going on and drew his knife to save Auston.
"Human skin shadow." Hobert explained as he put away his knife: "Its characteristic is that it is the main material of sequence 6."
At the same time, he sighed in his heart that Mr. Ke's path is really the endorsement of "secret". Just an extraordinary creature with a certain amount of wisdom can create such a weird event.
Auston felt like he had survived a disaster: "Storm, thank you for letting me recruit Hobert into the team."
Hobert has saved him twice.
Bang~
Auston was about to thank Hobert, but heard a dull gunshot from the direction of the entrance.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the direction of the tomb door. Austin dropped the book in his hand: "Quick! Return to the ground!"
He judged that this should be a warning from his teammates to the underground.
Guarding the door, the real Pete rushed out first, followed by Austin and another mercenary, and Lina and Hobert walked at the end.
When passing the first corner, Hobert took the oil painting with him to see if it could be used later.
When they came to the entrance between the tomb passage and the ground, Austin and others stopped. They did not rush out, but chose to wait and see.
But there was no sound outside, which made Austin and others a little worried about their companions outside.
Just when everyone was looking at the entrance, Lina had a dagger in her hand and stabbed Austin's lower back.
Hobert noticed this and was about to kick Lina's wrist, but Austin's reaction was one step faster and grabbed Lina's wrist: "Mental piercing!"
Lina wanted to dodge with a painful face, but was caught by Austin. She gritted her teeth, summoned a dead spirit, and threw it at Austin.
"Exile!" Austin exiled the dead spirit, but still held Lina's wrist tightly.
Hobert, who was about to take action just now, took a step back and sighed in his heart that mercenaries with their own team are generally old-fashioned. Although Austin looked very honest, he probably suspected that Lina had a problem a long time ago and had been paying attention to her every move quietly.
And Austin made the wisest choice, capturing Lina alive when the situation outside was still unknown.
Lina was under great mental pressure, and the whites of her eyes turned black.
"Whip of Pain!" Austin was careful of the new undead offensive, while stepping up his mental offensive against Lina, trying to make Lina's spirit collapse as soon as possible and faint.
Just when Lina was about to collapse, a giant sword made of light suddenly pierced through the tomb passage above Austin's head, and he had to let go of Lina and quickly dodge.
Lina's desire to survive stimulated all her potential. She jumped suddenly, grabbed the top of the tomb passage at the entrance, and jumped up to jump out.
Bang~
Pete fired a shot and hit Lina's back. Lina's whole body was obviously paused, but she still jumped out of the tomb passage.
Hobert had taken out the "teleportation statue". He immediately sensed that there were several extraordinary people guarding the entrance outside, and according to his "feel", the one who just stabbed the "Sword of Dawn" should be a sequence 5 "guardian".
There were at least two sequence 6s among the other people.
Although Hobert had the opportunity to move Lina back, he did not do so.
He also needed Lina to go out and convey some wrong information, and let the enemy have no defense against "flash".
Then Hobert thought that it was obvious that Austin and his team had been targeted for a long time, and they took advantage of their opportunity to recruit people to sneak in an insider. When they entered the tomb passage, Lina did not know how to notify the accomplices waiting not far away.
Since Lina, who had psychic vision, did not remind the dead mercenary team member that he committed suicide because of the curse, Hobert began to pay attention to her and guess her purpose, so Hobert, who was mentally prepared, was not worried about the situation at this time.
"Let's take a break first." Hobert said to Austin and others who were about to jump out of the entrance: "There are many enemies outside, we'd better wait until they relax a little before going out."
Auston and the other three were slightly stunned, but still followed Hobert to the depths of the tomb.
Hobert placed the painting facing the wall, and actually leaned against the wall and sat on the tomb passage to rest: "We have already consumed a lot of physical strength and energy just now. It is difficult to maintain the best condition if we rush out like this."
"That makes sense." Austin also sat down with Hobert.
Hobert said again: "I have a magical item that can roughly determine that there are seven or eight enemies outside, one of whom is Sequence 5."
Auston was surprised, and then a little desperate. After being in the extraordinary world for so long, he certainly knew the gap between Sequence 6 and Sequence 5.
Theoretically, a Sequence 5 can deal with the four people in the tomb passage, and the three team members outside should be in danger.
Hobert could of course use "travel" to leave, but he wanted to try out his new equipment through fighting, so he decided to stay and fight, and it would not be too late to run away when he couldn't win.
"Now there are two plans." Hobert smiled and said: "My magical item can also send you to the ground, so I suggest that we divide up the loot that is easier to carry here, and after reaching the ground, escape in different directions.
"The second plan is that I will send you to the enemy to launch a surprise attack and try to complete a wave of counterattacks."
Auston thought for a while before saying: "Let's divide these magical items and extraordinary characteristics. Those gold and silver objects and jewelry are not easy to carry, so we don't need them. "
In his opinion, even if there are two Sequence 6s, it is difficult to kill a Sequence 5, and the other party has other helpers.
Auston said again: "According to the previous agreement, you choose first."
"This painting and that necklace belong to me." Hobert said.
"Okay." Auston almost ignored Hobert's request to choose two trophies. After all, it was difficult for him to take the painting away.
Auston took out the necklace and handed it to Hobert: "There are four of us in total, and we will go in four directions..."
Hobbert smiled and said: "Don't get me wrong, after you escape, I will swagger out of the entrance and start hunting!"
"You are crazy!" Auston was surprised: "Lina will definitely tell the enemies outside all our situations. Even if we go up first and can divert some of the enemies, they will leave one or two masters to guard the entrance."
Hobbert kept a smile on his face: "I just want to have a hearty fight! "
Auston opened his mouth wide, wondering if Hobert was crazy? Or was he crazy?
