Dual guns blazing, a fist or a kick was enough to send the werewolves flying. With him clearing the path, the four of them managed to smoothly reach the first level of the mine pit.
Given their momentum, they would likely have been the first to escape from the mine shaft.
However,
As expected, Leonard Churchill encountered unexpected trouble, right on schedule.
Since the Black Wolf Group wanted to use the hunters to trigger the high-difficulty plot, of course they didn’t want anyone to escape the mine easily.
While Leonard was running, he suddenly felt uneasy.
He abruptly noticed the strange feel underneath his feet.
It was like stepping into soft mud, instantly disturbing his balance.
At a glance, there was a loud “crack” as the timber shattered. The solid mine road that could normally hold a minecart had suddenly collapsed.
Leonard’s eyes flickered.
He had specifically chosen the path they had taken before, theoretically, this accident was impossible to occur.
His intuition immediately told him what was happening: someone had tampered with the wooden support frame after they had gone in.
But there was no time to think more.
His step set off a domino effect, causing the wooden structure along the mine road for hundreds of meters to collapse.
Not only him, but the person closest behind him, Tracy Garcia, was also affected.
She lost her balance and screamed as she plummeted toward the bottom of the mine pit.
Alison was also within the reach of the collapse, but she was able to leap onto the broken bridge using her Agility, narrowly avoiding the danger.
Just as she steadied herself and was about to jump down to save Tracy, Leonard’s reaction was faster.
When the mine road collapsed, he was only taken aback for a moment before kicking again the fallen wooden framework, using the force to leap upward lightly.
Having just removed the heavy load, his high agility attribute was fully displayed at this moment.
He stepped on a protruded rock from the rock wall and easily stabilized his falling body.
However, in his peripheral vision, he saw Tracy falling behind him.
Just after he had steadied himself on the rock, he jumped over and grabbed Tracy by the waist.
After carrying hundreds of kilos, rescuing one person was of course a piece of cake.
Before Tracy had a chance to react, he had shot a steel cable with a flying claw into the fissure of the rock wall.
The cross-shaped arrowhead expanded and anchored firmly into the crevice. Using the force, Leonard swung the two of them dozens of meters along the rock wall.
Again, he shot out a grappling hook, swinging another several dozen meters.
By the time they had recovered, they had safely landed on the other side of the broken bridge.
Tracy, clutching her chest in fear, exclaimed, “That was close.”
As she spoke, she looked at Leonard still holding her and nodded slightly, murmuring a “thank you”.
Leonard nodded back with a slight smile, not saying more.
He turned to look at Alison and Liam Martinez.
One was a ranger and the other a Black Knight, this distance wouldn’t be much of a problem for them.
And so it was.
Seeing that Tracy was safe, Alison heaved a sigh of relief.
She didn’t delay, swiftly swinging over using the grappling hook.
While jumping over, she also embedded some metal footplates in the rock wall.
Although Liam was wearing Heavy Armor, with the footplates left by his teammate Alison, he also successfully jumped over.
But their crisis was far from over.
Having jumped over and not run very far, the four were astonished to see the scene before them.
Not far away, the largest wooden lift structure on the first level of the mine had completely collapsed.
It also meant that returning to the mine through the same path was now impossible.
Facing the two to three hundred meters high rock cliff in front of them, the four had different expressions.
Climbing a wall isn’t a big problem; for any Extraordinary Man, this height is not a problem.
But the problem is,
When it comes to climbing wall ability, even a card master of the Assassin Type couldn’t possibly compare with the free-climbing werewolves with their claws on the rock surface.
Seeing this, Leonard Churchill was not too surprised, he just sighed, “Those guys from the Black Wolf Group apparently don’t plan on leaving any survivors.”
Before, triggering the B-rank plot, there was no evidence to show who did it, it could be said it was accidental.
Now.
They’re playing their hands, not pretending anymore.
They never planned on letting outsiders live and return to the Sinless City! Liam Martinez also reacted, swearing, “Damn it, it must’ve been those guys from the Black Wolf Group! With the current situation, we can only climb the wall.”
Now that the mine tunnel has been cut off, it’s clear to everyone that there’s a problem within the Hunter Group.
The Loose Practitioners wouldn’t seek their own deaths, so it must’ve been the people from the Black Wolf Group.
Alison’s face also darkened, saying, “There are too many werewolves, I’m afraid it’s not good for us to climb…”
Upon hearing this, the three of them looked at the rock face with difficulty.
If they forced themselves up, the risk would be extremely high.
“We don’t necessarily have to climb the wall.”
Leonard Churchill thought of something and came up with a different plan: “The number of werewolves in the mine is limited. By choosing an appropriate terrain, the risk of killing them might be smaller.”
“Kill all the werewolves?”
Upon hearing this, Tracy Garcia and the others looked as if they had heard wrong.
They were still thinking about how to escape the mine.
This guy was actually thinking about killing all the monsters?
Not to mention whether it could be done, wasn’t the normal mindset to escape first when encountering such a predicament?
All three of them turned their gaze towards Leonard Churchill.
If he hadn’t shown his extraordinary prowess before, Liam Martinez and the others wouldn’t choose to believe him.
But the facts proved that he indeed was an expert hand.
Moreover, Tracy Garcia had said that he was a “puzzle-solving” expert.
Clearly, there was a deep meaning behind his plan.
Killing all the monsters in the mine pit by themselves sounded like a tall tale.
But Churchill proposed this monster-killing idea not only because he had an ace card up his sleeve.
He also guessed that Liam Martinez and the others had aces of their own. Before, he observed their battle tactics, and even when accidentally triggering the B-rank plot, they remained calm.
Their composure during such a situation wasn’t just a matter of mentality.
It was drawn from strength.
Which means, Liam Martinez and the others had some hidden techniques. After all, Tracy Garcia had said before they arrived that their target would be of B-rank difficulty.
This was Leonard Churchill’s confidence in suggesting the “kill all” plan.
When it came to life and death, no one could take it lightly.
Alison asked directly: “Do you think we should kill those werewolves in the mine right now?”
Churchill nodded: “Yes.”
After all, apart from Tracy Garcia, he and Liam Martinez had no foundation for collaboration.
If they were to cooperate in monster hunting next, he felt obligated to explain further, “People from the Black Wolf Group have chosen to trigger a hidden plot. I speculate that they found out the Alternate Dimension was collapsing because the low-difficulty levels have been swept too many times, so they made a desperate move and explored a difficult plot. Triggering the B-rank difficulty in the third level of the mine wants to bring out that B-rank Catastrophe and let all of us hold it back. But this is not their ultimate goal. If I’m not wrong, the Black Wolf Group should already be exploring hidden plots in the third level of the mine…”
Alison: “This…”
Liam Martinez came to a realization: “Right!”
At this point, Churchill added, “And I suspect… the third level of the mine might just be the beginning. They are very likely to go to the fourth level. In that case, the probability of triggering an A-level plot will be very high….”
