Everyone's Class: One Effort, 10,000x Bonus Reward! - Chapter 348: Earth Glide, Protect Mr. Aiden!
The moment Aiden heard the voice ahead, he frowned.
He immediately thought of Brock.
After everything ended yesterday, Fiona had asked Syed to send people to look for Brock.
Aiden also knew about this. Both he and Fiona had thought that Brock had probably run into some unexpected trouble on the way, which delayed him.
“Could the dying Red Dwarves that voice mentioned be Brock?” Aiden frowned even more.
Without any hesitation, he spread the smoky black wings on his back.
In the next moment, Aiden flew into the air and looked forward.
He saw a small the Abyss creature, something like a mole, waving its front limbs again and again as it shouted,
“Believe me, I’m telling the truth! That old Red Dwarves grandpa is about to die!”
“Hurry up and send someone with me to save him!”
However, the Red Dwarves around it were not worried at all. Instead, they frowned, pinched their noses, and looked at the the Abyss creature with disgust.
“Get lost. Stop blocking the way!”
“You’re just trying to get into Undercity so you can steal, aren’t you?”
“As a Grey Rat Monster, you’ve got some nerve showing up in front of soldiers. I have to say, I really admire your courage!”
“The moment your kind appears, the smell on your body is enough to make the drinks around us impossible to swallow.”
“Get out of here now, or I’ll smash you into meat paste!” a Red Dwarves soldier shouted impatiently.
The creature called Grey Rat Monster did not look very different from a normal mole. Its eyes were a little bigger, and its body was about the same size as an ordinary Red Dwarves.
“Believe it or not, I already told you. If you don’t believe me, what can I do about it?”
“You’re the ones leaving someone to die! Not me!” The Grey Rat Monster sounded very young, and there was clear grievance in its voice. It even sounded like it was about to cry.
Aiden instinctively looked back at Marcus.
Marcus had also seen what was happening ahead. He gave a light jump, floated behind Aiden, and said in a low voice,
“That is a Grey Rat Monster, one of the creatures Red Dwarves hate the most. The smell on them is, at worst, just unpleasant to other creatures.”
“But to Red Dwarves, that smell is a nightmare, because it makes alcohol spoil very quickly.”
“At the same time, Grey Rat Monsters have another trait Red Dwarves cannot accept—they love stealing. Whether it’s forging materials or food, if you are not careful, they will dig tunnels and steal it.”
Aiden’s eyes turned serious as he looked at the Grey Rat Monster.
If something truly important had not happened, would this Grey Rat Monster really come to the entrance of Undercity to ask for help?
He took a deep breath, then quickly dropped from the air and landed in front of the Grey Rat Monster.
Marcus opened his mouth as he looked at the Grey Rat Monster. He could not help frowning, but in the end, he still followed Aiden over.
“What does that Red Dwarves look like?” Aiden asked quickly.
The Grey Rat Monster froze when it suddenly saw a human appear.
Only after it saw Marcus and the others quickly coming over did its eyes light up. It hurriedly answered,
“He looks very old, and kind of sleazy. Among the things he dropped, there was also a huge pair of underwear. It felt like it could even…”
The moment he heard that, Aiden was sure that Red Dwarves was Brock.
Only Brock would have such a special hobby.
“Where is he? What danger did he run into?” Aiden pressed.
Brock really did have a strange fate.
From what Aiden already knew, Irene’s father had saved Brock, and Fiona’s mother’s father had also saved Brock…
Aiden was now seriously starting to wonder whether Catherine, the lord of The Black City, knew Brock because Catherine’s father had also saved him before.
“In the cave of the Fungi Beast. When I saw him, he was already unconscious. There was only a protective barrier around him, and it looked like he had just gone through a battle.”
“There are a lot of Fungi Beast there, and they are stronger than me. I didn’t dare go over, so I could only come ask for help.”
“I didn’t expect none of them would believe me!” the Grey Rat Monster said angrily, reaching out a claw toward the Red Dwarves soldier who had just said he would smash him into meat paste.
That Red Dwarves soldier immediately raised his hammer and said without hesitation,
“You Grey Rat Monsters should have died a long time ago!”
Aiden glanced at the soldier.
Marcus did not hesitate at all. He pushed hard off the ground with both feet, and his body shot forward like a cannonball, appearing right in front of the Red Dwarves soldier.
Smack!
A sharp slap rang out.
“Shut up!”
Marcus did not speak very loudly.
But after that Red Dwarves soldier saw the armor Marcus was wearing, he immediately became very scared. He only held his quickly swelling face and said nothing.
Aiden did not want to waste any more time. If something happened to Brock, that would be bad.
“Let’s go. We can talk while we move.” Aiden used his smoky black wings again.
Marcus and the other Red Dwarves guard soldiers did not hesitate and immediately activated the flight effect on their armor.
Only the Grey Rat Monster said awkwardly, “Um, I can’t fly. I can only move quickly underground.”
“And I came here from underground, so flying would make it hard to tell the direction.”
After hearing that, Aiden looked at Marcus and the others and asked, “Do you know the way?”
Marcus immediately shook his head and replied, “We can’t be sure of the direction. There are Fungi Beast in many of the caves near Undercity.”
“Then can you move quickly underground?” Aiden suddenly thought of something and asked quickly.
Marcus thought about it, nodded first, then his face suddenly turned a little helpless.
“We can enter the tunnels dug by the Grey Rat Monster and follow him.”
“But you are a human. I’m afraid you won’t be able to get into the tunnels.”
Aiden smiled and said directly, “It’s fine. As long as you can get in, don’t worry about me. I have my own way.”
The other Red Dwarves soldiers all looked at Aiden. Some were curious, while others looked down on him, thinking that even if he had a way, he would not be fast enough to keep up with them.
Soon, under Marcus’s lead, the armor on those Red Dwarves guard soldiers suddenly gave off a strong earthy-yellow light.
“This is a special effect of the armor. It can absorb the earth energy around us and increase our speed.”
“Mr. Aiden, should we slow down a little and wait for you?” Marcus could not help asking.
Aiden waved his hand and said, “No need. Don’t worry, I should not be slower than you.”
Marcus did not fully believe it either, but in the end he still nodded.
Very soon, the Grey Rat Monster took a deep breath and raised both claws above his head.
Whoosh!
Hard black claws suddenly grew out from his fingers.
“Follow me!” the Grey Rat Monster said, then jumped up two or three meters high before dropping back down like he was diving into the ground.
Boom!
The moment his claws hit the soil, his whole body started spinning at high speed.
Dirt flew everywhere, and a hole appeared in the ground almost at once.
“Quick, follow him!” Marcus and the guard soldiers went into the hole.
Aiden, on the other hand, directly used the Earth Glide he had never used before!
[Earth Glide: Legendary Rank. Consumes 0.5% mana per second. The user can sink into the earth and move freely, but speed will be reduced by 10%. In special underground terrain, such as mineral-rich soil or hard rock… movement speed underground will be further reduced.
In addition, after entering the earth, the user’s health recovery speed increases by 10%, physical defense and magic defense increase by 20%, extra HP temporarily increases by 40,000, and the effects of some negative status effects are reduced. All buffs disappear after leaving the earth.]
In an instant, his whole body was wrapped in a yellow-brown light. Like sinking into water, he disappeared straight into the hard ground.
Inside the hole.
Marcus waited for a while, but still did not see Aiden.
One of the guard soldiers could not help lowering his voice and saying, “Captain, is that human fooling us?”
“Our job is only to protect him and keep him from danger, not to listen to a Grey Rat Monster…”
“Shut up!” Marcus snapped.
Aiden was not an ordinary human. His Majesty Malcolm had especially stressed that they had to prevent any accidents from happening to him.
“What if I go back up and take a look?” Marcus thought to himself.
Just then, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the soil beside the tunnel.
“What are you standing around for? Move. That Grey Rat Monster has already gone quite a distance.”
Marcus quickly turned his head and looked at the tunnel wall beside him in the darkness.
He saw nothing at all!
“Captain, that was the human’s voice!”
“Where is he?”
“My God, how did he do that? I can’t even see where he is!”
“What kind of ability is this? Equipment or a skill?”
At that moment, a yellow-brown light suddenly appeared, instantly lighting up the dark tunnel.
Inside the soil, Aiden moved freely as if he were swimming underwater.
He said directly, “Alright, don’t stay here. We need to hurry.”
After saying that, Aiden immediately started moving quickly underground.
Marcus and the other Red Dwarves instantly widened their eyes. It took them a full second to react.
“Quick! Hurry and catch up!” Marcus shouted.
But they had only just started moving when they saw that yellow-brown light speeding away at an astonishing pace, leaving them behind.
Just as Marcus was still shocked, the ground suddenly began to shake violently.
“This is bad. Go protect Mr. Aiden!”
