Chapter 57: Explosion

The spellcasting ceased, and Gunie did not rashly venture into the cellar chamber.

Just now, while releasing the spell, Gunie had also been vigilant of his surroundings.

After all, Gunie did not know if there were other Blood-Ear Elf Shadowers hiding nearby.

Those Shadowers' methods of concealment were quite formidable.

If they did not make a move, Gunie would find it difficult to detect their presence.

"My rapid casting of this spell over ten seconds was itself an invitation."

"If there were any, those Blood-Ear Elves wouldn't have just watched their kin be bombarded to death by me like that."

"Since none appeared, then... most likely there aren't any."

Then, Gunie lightly flicked the Silver Feather in his hand.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Rocket spells shot rapidly into the cellar, paving the way ahead and providing visibility.

Both the Rocket spell and the Arc spell were ordinary two-syllable spells.

Their source power consumption was only a quarter, or even a fifth, of one source unit.

If Gunie economized, he could use an eighth, or even a tenth, of a source unit to cast the Arc and Rocket spells.

Of course, with much less source power, their power naturally diminished significantly.

At this moment, using about a tenth of a source unit to construct the Rocket spell for clearing the path and illumination was more than sufficient.

After a moment, the water vapor in the cellar was quickly driven away by the burning flames, and the firelight illuminated the entire cellar chamber brightly.

Gunie also appeared in this cellar chamber.

The first thing that caught his eye was a moderately sized cellar hall.

Inside were carpets, sofas, a coffee table, teacups, decorative murals, and the like, resembling an underground salon gathering.

On the table surrounded by sofas, there was some food.

All were fruits, vegetables, dried nuts, plain water, and such.

Blood-Ear Elves were all vegetarians.

Hmm... basically, most elves were vegetarians.

Of course, except for those fallen elves.

"These fruits and vegetables are still quite fresh."

"Could it be that these Blood-Ear Elves were in the middle of discussing something, and then I blocked their door?"

After thinking for a moment, Gunie nodded slightly.

"It seems that's roughly the case."

Then, Gunie looked toward the sofas and the surrounding corners of the walls.

What came into view were seven or eight corpses lying haphazardly on the ground.

Each body was charred black from the electricity.

Some clothing even still had sparks and lingering smoke.

It was evident how ferocious the saturation bombardment of Gunie's Arc spell had been just now.

Gunie did not rashly approach or test these fallen individuals.

"Death Feint" was an ability that certain Shadowers or other types of超凡者 could possess.

If these "dead" Blood-Ear Elves had a similar skill.

Rashly approaching, they might suddenly lunge and deliver a heavy blow to Gunie.

According to the data, these Blood-Ear Elves seemed to have one at the third rank, some at the second, and most at the first.

That third-rank Blood-Ear Elf could still pose a significant threat to Gunie.

Waving his staff, Gunie began releasing Rocket spells to desecrate the corpses again.

Sizzle!

Sizzle!

Sizzle!

Each Rocket spell pierced through the head of a corpse.

After a moment, all the corpses had their heads pierced by Gunie.

These Blood-Ear Elves had not feigned death; they were all completely dead.

"Huff..."

After confirming the death of these Blood-Ear Elves, Gunie finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Killing all these Blood-Ear Elves was a small act of revenge.

Whether for Lanzier, or for the injured Paul and Yulai'er, or for his own self-defense, it was all worthwhile.

Gunie quickly suppressed the slight sadness in his heart.

Regaining his composure, Gunie looked at the corpses.

"Next is to loot the spoils, destroy the evidence, and demolish the villa."

"I need to move quickly; those patrol squads will probably be here soon."

Patrol squads.

They were the official超凡者 organizations found in every relic city.

Patrols were similar to police, except police handled disputes among ordinary people.

While超凡 patrols handled超凡 incidents.

With the successive large explosions and the entire villa already set ablaze, the fire was beginning to show signs of reaching the sky.

Those patrols wouldn't take too long to arrive.

Quickly inspecting the corpses, Gunie began "stripping the bodies."

The most important gains from this battle were undoubtedly the超凡 equipment on these corpses.

Even Black Iron-grade超凡 equipment was worth hundreds of gold coins.

Higher-level Mithril equipment and spatial storage-type超凡 equipment were even more valuable.

In a few minutes, Gunie had thoroughly stripped all the超凡 equipment and storage items from the corpses.

Then, Gunie poured "Strong Corrosive Poison" onto each corpse.

Strong Corrosive Poison was a mid-grade "Virulent Potion."

Originally, this potion was used to dispose of corpses infected by plague, disease, viruses, or even memes.

Later, it was developed by some individuals into a handy tool for destroying evidence.

The bodies of超凡者 had strong corrosion resistance.

Even after death, their bodies still retained good resistance.

Unfortunately, this "Strong Corrosive Poison" was specifically designed for this purpose and was not afraid of the corrosion resistance of these超凡 corpses.

With one bottle, the corpse visibly corroded and decayed rapidly.

After a few minutes, there was basically no trace of the bones left.

After looting the超凡 equipment and destroying the bodies, Gunie began to withdraw step by step.

During the retreat, Gunie methodically placed Ring Bombardments.

Ring Bombardments could be used not only as rolling tires for assault but also as explosive charges fixed to the ground.

Each time he released a Ring Bombardment, Gunie fixed it to the ground and set it to a detonation-ready state.

After a moment.

The entire villa had been planted with twenty-five Ring Bombardments by Gunie.

If Gunie hadn't feared that the spell's power might be too strong and could affect the neighboring residents, the number would have doubled.

In a spot on the roadside绿化带 where the dim streetlight couldn't reach.

Gunie stood quietly in the darkness.

"Detonate!" Gunie thought slightly.

Boom—

The twenty-five Ring Bombardments exploded simultaneously.

The explosion, like a thunderclap, directly lifted the entire villa into the air, which then quickly collapsed.

A villa was thus reduced to rubble.

The explosion was so violent.

Even though Gunie was more than fifty meters away, he still felt a very intense shockwave, and large numbers of leaves were shaken off the trees.

Some nearby windows that were relatively close shattered in the explosion, and a clattering sound of breaking glass came over.

It was even mixed with some screams.

Seeing this scene, Gunie's eyes twitched slightly.

"Sorry," Gunie said silently.

Gunie leaped and disappeared into a dark alley.

In the distance, the超凡 patrols were rushing over quickly.

...

On the way back.

Gunie quickly reviewed the gains and losses of this operation in his mind.

"Although there were a few minor flaws, they were all harmless; overall, it was very successful."

"The process wasn't smooth, but things like killing, robbing, ambushing, and sneaking—do them more often, and you'll naturally get better," Gunie mused silently.

Proceeding with caution, Gunie silently entered the underground alchemy chamber through the secret passage.

Then entered the living room.

As Gunie quietly walked toward his room.

An old and hoarse voice suddenly sounded from a corner of the sofa not far away.

"You shouldn't have provoked those guys."
