Volume 3 Chapter 79: Attack on the Hero (1)

Let's not talk about Shi Leiyin's reaction after receiving the latest information from the Thirteenth. While the thirteenth was still conducting intelligence analysis, one of the three hero teams, the Holy Light Brigade led by the yellow-level heroes, had already stepped into the labyrinth first.

As the leader of the Yellow Tier Hero, Zax is a fifth-order and sixteenth-level Knight of the Cross of Judgment, proficient in the Holy Light Judgment and Punishment Cross in the Knight of the Cross skills. Because of his belief in the Church of the Light, he has done heroic deeds in the name of the Holy Light in several kingdoms, so he has the assessment of a yellow-level hero. The two deputies, because they are both Cross Knights, have also been evaluated by red-level heroes. Together with the other five people, the Holy Light Brigade still has a good reputation among the several small kingdoms in its sphere. This time, among the three hero teams, the Holy Light Brigade is the only one to enter for the Hero Mission.

It's just that this Holy Light Brigade is actually quite unlucky. Even the head of the regiment with a yellow-level hero has reached the eighteenth level of threat in the evaluation of the Chamber of Commerce's intelligence department. However, the overall strength is still slightly inferior to the other two hero combinations. Especially when both sides are human, the Knight of the Judgment Cross has no advantage over the monsters. When the identity of the hero cannot play a role, the result of poor strength is to be used as a pawn to find a way, and it is a matter of course to be the first to enter the maze.

Of course, in addition to being regarded as a pathfinder, the original target of the Holy Light Brigade, the princess who pretended to be an adventurer and disappeared in the labyrinth, was at least on the fourth level of the labyrinth. Therefore, Zax didn't bother too much about being forced to explore the way, but cooperated very well and took the lead in entering the labyrinth, and even through communication skills, he got a scroll of the eighteenth-level instantaneous single magic-thunder technique from the hand of the gentleman who supported the Wind Forest Volcano Adventure Group. Thunder is a sixth-order magic that can be used from level 12 onwards, and can increase the power and number of combos as the strength of the mage increases, which is very practical. Because thunder can be instantaneous after practice, it is also one of the best single spells to make into a scroll. However, the eighteenth-level thunder scroll can already be stored as a strategic-level weapon in the ordinary kingdom, after all, the scroll can be used as long as it is torn, and generally the eighteenth-level professional will be seriously injured if he does not die, even if the nineteenth-level professional is careless, he will be injured a lot.

After flickering into such a scroll, Zax was satisfied and willing to enter the labyrinth. After all, although the Holy Light Brigade had reached the eighteenth level in the threat judgment of the Golden Kisya Chamber of Commerce, its actual maximum combat power was only sixteenth. His goal is to disappear in the fourth layer where the monsters of the second level are running around again, and maybe he needs to enter the fifth layer through the guards of the fourth layer. With such a magic scroll, it is basically guaranteed that the team can enter the fifth layer of the labyrinth without damage, and even the sixth layer that no one has reached until now.

Due to the large increase in the number of adventurers, the number of traps on the first and second floors of the current secret realm maze is far from threatening the adventurer's progress. After a large number of traps are destroyed, there is simply no time and space to free up for maintenance, and simple emergency maintenance can only be carried out occasionally by closing the entire passage. Therefore, except for the traps placed in high places to restrict flight, the other traps can only be encountered occasionally by particularly unlucky adventurers.

Similarly, the changes in the route and passage of the entire labyrinth have also been explored by a large number of adventurers who have scattered into the labyrinth, and even several one-way teleportation arrays have been discovered by high-level adventurers, resulting in a situation where monster mercenaries have just entered Labyrinth Nine and are besieged by groups of adventurers who are squatting. As a last resort, Ku could only remove most of the one-way teleportation arrays in the first and second layers, and instead use random teleportation arrays to directly send some low-level and high-level magical beasts into the maze as a force and prize to interfere with the adventurer's progress - Ku didn't want the first and second layers of the maze to become an adventurer's passage so quickly. Although it is only a low-level demonic beast with only one or two levels and a level of less than eight levels, it is enough to pose a threat to those low-level adventurers who can only hunt for treasures on the first and second floors of the labyrinth. At the same time, the body parts of these demonic beasts are also a lot of income for low-level adventurers, enough to make them give up the idea of adventuring to the third layer of the relatively dangerous labyrinth.

These low-level demonic beasts naturally won't have any impact on Zax's Holy Light Brigade, with a detailed schematic diagram of the labyrinth's changes. In less than half a day, Zax led his Holy Light Brigade through the labyrinth of the first two floors and entered the third layer of the open labyrinth.

One thing to note is that also due to the flood of adventurers, the first and second floors of the maze no longer use monster mercenaries as gatekeepers. In its place is a multi-purpose golem from the Golden Kisya Chamber of Commerce. This kind of golem can be used to guard mazes where mercenaries are lacking, mausoleums where creatures are forbidden to enter, and shrines where even your own people need to be guarded. The magic defense ability of each golem is equivalent to that of a fifth-order demonic beast, and the levels range from level five to eighteen. Because the golem has automatic repair and pseudo-cores, it is very suitable to be placed in the current first and second floor mazes, which are often broken through as a gatekeeper. As long as the adventurer destroys the pseudo-core that is deliberately exposed, the golem will suspend its work. In this way, after the adventurer takes the prepared reward and leaves, the golem recovers the pseudo-core by repairing itself, and can immediately meet the next group of adventurers. Of course, if the Golem hasn't been repaired when the adventurer arrives, then they can only be considered unlucky, although they don't need to knock down the Golem, but there is no reward to take.

Zax's Holy Light Brigade was unlucky, almost as soon as the previous group of adventurers left, they came. As a result, after two layers of labyrinths, their powerful hero team only encountered a low-level Demonic Beast of the first order and seventh level, and harvested a low-level Demonic Beast horn, which consumed half a day.

"Let's camp and rest for the time being" After thinking about it for a while, Zax decided that today's itinerary would end here. There was almost no battle in the first and second layer of the labyrinth, and in addition to spending a lot of time and energy on the road, it also caused everyone's originally tense spirit to relax a little, which was not conducive to the subsequent exploration work. At the same time, since you have reached the third layer of the maze, you should also contact the team behind you according to the agreement.

As a Cross Knight and a Yellow-level hero who believes in the Holy Light, Zax is very angry that he is forced to explore his way. But since you have promised the other party and received payment, you should still do your best.

After writing down the behavior of the half-day in a simple note, Zax took out a black stone the size of an egg and injected a holy light into it. On the originally black stone, a miniature teleportation array immediately lit up. This is a small directional teleportation array provided by the Golden Kisya Chamber of Commerce, a set of two, which can be used to teleport items no larger than the stone itself in both directions. The scope of use is limited to the three consecutive layers inside the labyrinth, and the price is 2.4 million mainland gold coins after a 20% discount for members. In addition to being able to teleport items in both directions, they can also locate each other, input fighting energy, mana, elementals, and even hit with powerful physical attacks to activate the teleportation array. Zax couldn't afford such a set, and it was the liaison supplies that the gentleman had given him.
