Chapter 220: The commission is completed

The monster was fast, and in an instant it rushed past Thor.

Judging by the direction in which it appeared, it does appear to be coming from the depths of the pit. I don't know which team encountered it, but it is estimated that some people resisted and some people fled, and now it should have eliminated the resistance to pursue the fleeers.

Once this monster rushes out of the pit to the village, it will inevitably be a large-scale killing, and there is only a five-person adventurer team left outside the mine, and it is obviously impossible to stop this monster's pace.

Remembering that Beth was still outside, Thor did not hesitate and resolutely took a step towards the monster.

On the way, Thor turned his head and explained to the lizardman Stant, who was running behind him, that with his second-order strength, he couldn't feel the specific strength of the monster. Stant nodded solemnly and held his twin knives in his hands.

After just two steps, the team of adventurers led by Odeus also returned from the fork in the road back to the main path of the pit.

"Friend, how's it going?" Seeing Thor, Odysses secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then ran with Thor.

Thor told Odys about his previous momentary judgment, and after hearing that this was actually a fourth-order monster, Odeus's gaze instantly became much heavier.

"It's hot! Maybe today's battle will end up on you and me!" said Odyss, as he ran.

"Let's go out first, otherwise it will not be good for facing the enemy in this cramped passage. Thor replied simply.

At present, Thor and Odes are the only two third-order adventurers, not to mention the question of ability and responsibility, but if the battle really unfolds, there is no doubt that the two of them will have to bear more collisions.

This kind of commission is actually the most hated by adventurers and has the highest death and injury rate, because it is full of uncertainty.

For example, the mission was originally to ask you to explore a certain ruin, and on the surface it didn't seem to be much risky, until you went deeper into the ruin, only to find that there was a terrible enemy waiting for you inside.

In the blink of an eye, the two teams had rushed out of the mine back and forth.

It wasn't too late, and in the clearing outside the mine, the remaining team of adventurers and those who had escaped had gathered, apparently already fighting the monsters. Although three or four people had fallen at the moment, they also managed to hold back the monster.

"This is a fourth-order monster, everyone be careful, disperse and surround, and unite to kill the enemy. As soon as he entered the battlefield, Odes shouted out the deployment at the top of his voice.

At this time, it is not ideal to choose to disperse or huddle, in the face of an enemy of this intensity, scattered encirclement will obviously be broken by each situation, if the huddle is hard to shake, the difference in strength is too great.

However, Thor can understand Odes's intentions, and another advantage of dispersing is that he can use the sacrifice of a single adventurer to buy time and create more opportunities for others to make a move.

Thor chose the monster's blind spot, ran and quickly approached, and then slashed down with a slash of his sword.

The monster that had just knocked an adventurer to the ground seemed to sense Thor's threat and made a twist to dodge, but Thor's attack was very fast and he couldn't completely dodge.

The blade silently slashed across the monster's body, and Thor frowned.

Because there was no touch of a sharp blade cutting through flesh and blood in his hand, but a dull feeling as if it had broken through an empty shell, the monster seemed to have received a little damage, but it did not shed much blood.

The two-headed monster that was suddenly attacked suddenly turned back and glared at Thor, and then turned around and quickly pounced on Thor, Thor dodged the other party's bite, but the opponent's sweeping claw attack Thor could only hastily block it with a long sword.

"Qiang~" The arm is a little numb, but it is not to the point where it can't bear it.

Unable to inflict heavy damage on Thor, the monster did not entangle, and pounced on the next target in the direction of the attack.

This time Thor saw clearly that it seemed to be a two-headed wolf with orange fireflies burning in its eyes. The sturdy man on all fours was about to catch up with a cow, with a tail much larger than a wolf dragging on the ground, and moving quickly.

Its attack still retains the basic instincts of the beast, and it doesn't look like it's very intelligent. In addition to striking, biting, claw striking, ramming, etc., I don't know if there are other means.

And its attacks are a bit chaotic, indiscriminately scurrying around, regardless of whether the previous target can hit the opponent or not, it will immediately throw away the target and look for the next opponent.

Thor couldn't tell if it was a magical beast for a while, and it was rumored that the magical beast would use magic, and there would be some magic fluctuations around it, and sometimes it would make a magic explosion.

In the blink of an eye, the monster had already jumped through most of the field, and there were some casualties, but it was not tragic.

After all, the adventurers are wise, and they dodge and constantly throw all kinds of magic scrolls, knives, hand axes, etc., so that the battle situation does not fall into a complete one-sided killing.

Even in the face of the fourth-order enemy, the lizardman Stante did not show any flinching, he seized the opportunity to dance his twin blades and slash the monster twice, and also suffered a claw blow from the monster.

He crossed his knives in front of him, bent one leg and half-kneeling on the ground, and slipped some distance after being slapped by the monster's claw. It was a little difficult to parry, but it was calm.

As for Odyss, there is a faint glint of light on the blade of the sword when fighting the enemy, which seems to be his professional skill. Originally, Thor thought it would be a name like 'Holy Light Slash', but later Odeus told Thor that it was 'Light Slash', which was pretty much the same.

At first, the monsters had the upper hand, but after taking turns fighting a few times, everyone gradually became familiar with the monsters' attacks. In addition to some physical attacks, monsters will occasionally flick their tails to unleash some low-level fire magic.

Mainly based on walls of fire, sometimes burning itself, it seems to be some kind of temporary means of imposing its own power.

In between battles, Thor seized the opportunity and used a record card from the Magic Illustrated Book. The card says it's a 'two-headed Cerberus' who isn't very afraid of swords, but has more effective magic attacks.

In the late stage of the battle, the disadvantage of the monster's low intelligence gradually appeared, and it has been occupying the battlefield to take the initiative to attack everyone crazily, and the consumption of physical strength is becoming more and more obvious. When it falls into a disadvantage, it doesn't know how to escape, and can only fight to the death.

Eventually, Thor decapitated one of Cerberus's heads, and Odyss, taking the opportunity to chop off the other, ending the fight.

The only thing that scared Thor during the whole fight was that he was a little embarrassed when he dodged, and it looked like he was seriously injured and fell to the ground, and Beth seemed to want to touch him to help him.

Cerberus was originally an indiscriminate attack, and whoever was close would attack first, and Beth was instantly locked by it when she approached.

"Get out of the way!" Thor could only shout at Beth in a hurry.

Just as the Cerberus attack was approaching, Beth suddenly took out something and shook it in her hand, and a small black monster with bared teeth suddenly appeared on the ground, and Cerberus was bluffed into a sudden stop.

When the ugly little monster pounced on the Cerberus, it was slapped to death by the Cerberus, or disappeared with a wail. However, after being stopped in this way, Beth also seized the opportunity to hide and make Thor have a false alarm.

The whole battle was still tragic overall, and although the Cerberus was a fourth-order, it was consumed to death by less than thirty adventurers of all ranks. On the adventurer's side, more than a dozen people were killed, eight were wounded, and four escaped.

The reason why most of them persevered was not because of how brave they were, but because the important companions in their team were killed and injured, and they were angry.

"Friend, my skills are good, if I don't have you, I may not be able to support it. Odus took the initiative to come over and talk, apparently at the stage where the adventurers were flattering each other, and Thor politely replied.

In terms of the distribution of the spoils, Odysses insisted on giving up the red demon soul left by the Cerberus to Thor.

Thor is not eager to advance at the moment, and adventurers with rich adventure experience know very well that a demon soul actually can't bring much change, and in the end Thor gave that demon soul to the lizardman Stante.

"There are so many opportunities to fight in the future, I think it's better to give it to Miss Beth first. Stant humbled in, after all, Beth was only a first-order member of the three-person team.

"She wants to be beautiful, and she is not allowed to participate in any battles in the future. Thor rolled his eyes.

"But I can help, didn't you see the helper I just called?" Beth argued.

"You summon a fart, and the next time you don't run around disobediently, I'll beat your ass to pieces. Remembering the scene of the weak little monster being slapped to death by Cerberus, Thor laughed angrily.

Speaking of which, Thor always thought that Beth was some kind of female swordsman or thief, but today he found out that she was a summoner.

"If you absorb the demon soul, you will face the problem of sleeping and ascending, I don't need you to fight for me, I will protect you if there is danger, I can't lose you because of the promotion of that kind of thing, do you hear?" Thor put his arm around Beth and put his face on her forehead.

Thor had asked Beth before, adventure was not actually her hobby, but life forced her to pick up a sword because of the pressure of life and the fear for the safety of her family, and Thor was ready to keep her away from this aspect in the future.

"But I just want to help you, and if you don't let me take any chances, wouldn't it be useless for me to stay with you in the future?" Boil rubbed Thor's forehead.

"How can it be useless? When you have a territory, you can do whatever you like in the whole territory. Besides, it doesn't have to be on the battlefield to help, and the same can be done in bed, and there are many ways. Thor chuckled and bowed his head.

Beth shyly put her arms around Thor's neck, her two heads glued together.

Stante absorbed the demon spirit, and Odyss's side only needed something valuable cut from Cerberus.

As for most of the commissions that the villagers had pieced together, Thor and Odeus consciously left them to the low-level adventurers, who had lost many of their companions.

After chatting with the three of them, Odysses and the others left first, and his team of four did not suffer much damage. Next, the adventurers on the battlefield also left one after another with different moods, thanks to the village chief and the villagers.

"Let's go, let's go have a good meal first, and then find a hotel where we can take a hot shower and have a big bed. Thor patted Staunt on the shoulder and led Beth towards the village.
