Overlord: Start from the Goblin Lair.

Chapter 251 The Witch's Servant

"It seems that you have never discovered this before." Elden looked at the expressions of Ron and others and said slowly, "I think your communication with this witch was relatively peaceful, far from the point of 'turning the table'."

This mechanism is not very hidden. Although it will not be exposed by spiritual light because there is no magic, it is not difficult to find it as long as you turn the coffee table over and look for it carefully.

"The last time I came here, I overturned the table but failed," Sera snorted, "That ugly thing knew we would cause trouble for her, so she ran away early - is that possible?"

Ron and the others naturally guessed this "can't be", but now they had no idea where Polly was hiding at the time: maybe she really went to her mother's nest, or maybe she didn't leave at all, and didn't foresee it in advance, but hid underground after discovering Ron and the others' traces, and tricked everyone back.

"The witch is indeed a creature that is good at deceiving people," Gordon and Shiva nodded after they figured out the situation. They saw the source of the statement in the literature. "Even in this situation, she actually wanted to make a feint to deceive you?"

"What if you find this secret passage? Wouldn't she trap herself to death in there?"

"If you can think of this, how could the witch not be prepared?" Elden glanced at the two of them. "Do you remember the article written by the scholar in Yungang? 'The structure of the witch's nest is complex and changeable. They are good at using traps, mechanisms and camouflage to hide their nests. What is exposed outside is just the tip of the iceberg.'"

"'Besides that, most witches will arrange a lot of escape routes for themselves to prevent being buried in the lair...'" Elden recited the document casually while lighting the stairs leading down and was about to go down first. "I believe there must be more than one entrance and exit here. Arafat is a famous monster scholar and an old friend of mine. He would not joke about such things."

"Let's not talk about whether he's joking or not. Are you kidding me?!" Ivy quickly grabbed the dwarf's arm. "You know what you might encounter down there, but you want to be the first one to go down?!"

"What if there's another flesh golem like that?"

"In the witch's lair, mental erosion is a more insidious trap than physical attacks," Elden said, a layer of protective magic glowing on his body. "Even those legendary wizards have fallen into the hands of the witch before, so we must be more careful in this regard - you don't have the same way I have to protect your mind, right?"

"You are the most well-armed person here. What should we do if you are influenced by the witch?"

"You don't have to worry about this," Ron and Sylvia were casting magic to protect others from evil. They replied, "Her gauntlet can resist mental attacks to a certain extent."

"Have you practiced it?" Elden asked, "Or did you identify this effect through identification?"

"It was in practice that you helped me protect myself from the devil's temptation," Ivy dragged Elden out of the secret passage and went in first, "so you better just follow me obediently!"

"You two are called Gordon and Shiva? Keep an eye on your dean and don't let him run around!"

Under Ron's spell, a slight light appeared on Ivy's ordinary tower shield to dispel the darkness underground. Although many people in Ron's team had dark vision, Ron still turned on the light source considering the feelings of the three Elden students.

The previous attacks had not claimed the lives of any of them. Now that they were prepared, even if the witch Polly was lying in ambush with an entire army of flesh golems, they would still be able to fight her.

Ron was even looking forward to such a scene. In this way, his special arrows would be put to good use. But obviously, although the power of the witch was bizarre and strange, it should not be overestimated. As they traveled down the winding tunnel, the most common enemies they encountered were swarms of insects and rats. Ron and his men didn't need to take action at all. The rats here bowed down to Driver and swept away the swarms of insects.

"squeak……"

The big white in Driver made a weak cry with its round belly, and rolled over and crawled into the goblin's clothes. No one knew what the insects here ate to grow up, but they were all rich in nutrition. The big white had a good meal this time.

As everyone moved further down, they finally understood what the insect swarms were eating.

"Lizardman!" Ivy suddenly stopped, causing Sera behind her to almost bump into her.

"Enemy attack?" The barbarian who had been bored in the tunnel suddenly became excited. However, when she saw what was in front of her clearly, she couldn't help but growl.

"Damn, what are those? Kobolds!"

"There are some other races - they are all dead." Shiva tiptoed and saw what was ahead clearly.

It was a huge earth pit with corpses of various creatures thrown randomly in it. Some of them were still intact, but most of them were already broken into pieces and almost rotten.

The owner of this place obviously lacked basic common sense and willingness to classify. When Ron and his team began to carefully examine the bodies in the pit, they found that there were not only the remains of intelligent creatures (even if they were only slightly intelligent creatures), but also the remains of many wild beasts and monsters. Ron himself saw the corrosion of a sub-adult owl bear and some wolf skeletons.

"There's more than one here!" Ivy looked around and soon found many similar pits, but they were covered with a large number of traps and mechanisms. Even if Driver tried his best to crack them, it would take considerable time.

"This is specially used to prevent living creatures." Ron watched the goblin hunters breaking the trap and saw familiar structures in the parts with magical effects. "It seems that the flesh golem above was 'produced' from here."

"But don't you find it strange?" Victoria's brows twisted into a knot. As a priest, her morality required her to pray for these corpses as much as possible, but this scale was too much! "If they were all sewn together here, then why did the golem appear on the ground?"

Before Victoria finished speaking, a string of vicious laughter echoed in this extremely oppressive underground world:

"Why? Do I even need to ask? My dear babies, these little ones are of course prepared for you!"

"Wake up, my servants! Now is the time for you to serve me and kill these invaders!"
