Volume 3 Chapter 28 One Year (I)

"How many batches are this?" A little elf that was much larger than an ordinary elf flew over from not far away, exuding a bright aura all over its body, it was Jie Liya. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The seventh batch, there have been more and more adventurer teams that have broken through the second layer recently, and most of the mercenary teams are said to have gone to the second layer to increase their combat power, but the difficulty of the third layer has decreased. The boy, Zilde, replied, knocking out Regel, who was still conscious.

"No matter how many batches there are, since we took over here, no one is allowed to enter the fourth layer, let alone anyone to disturb Brother Lei Yin" As soon as Lei Ger fainted, Shui Jing appeared in front of Zird with a cold murderous aura. He glanced coldly at Regel on the ground, and then turned his head to look at the shield warriors and thieves trapped in the branch group, and the murderous aura on his body changed, but he finally calmed down.

"Miss Shui Jing, the Chamber of Commerce requires that we try to avoid senseless killings, it is difficult for us to do this like you" No. 37 also appeared at the scene, looking at the members of the Gold Hunting Adventure Group who were tied into a sieve by Shui Jing with icicles, and helplessly showed a wry smile. This is not the first time that Shui Jing has killed an adventurer.

A year ago, Shrayin used the Liberation Instinct to solve the problem of the fifth layer of the labyrinth being flooded with slimes. The process has been smooth, and after having the effect of increasing the connection with the proprioceptive mind after the clones devour each other, Shi Leiyin himself is also fully sure that he can smoothly retract his body. It's just that when Shi Leiyin fused with the body that devoured almost all the slimes and most of the other creatures in the fifth layer, the problem happened. I don't know why, Shi Leiyin was not able to control his body in the first place. Instead, after fusing with each other, the entire body turned into a huge slime sphere hundreds of meters high. According to Ku's personal investigation, it seems that the power of the body is too large, and the consciousness cannot be controlled for a while. If this happens to ordinary creatures or monsters, it will not lose consciousness, but will appear like pinching and breaking the bowl while eating, and suddenly accelerating when walking and hitting the wall, etc., which can be solved by exercising and mastering the change of strength. But Shi Leiyin's situation is obviously that if the consciousness cannot fully adapt to the changes in the body, even the normal waking state cannot be done. And this time, the gap between Shi Leiyin's body and consciousness is too big, not to mention anything else, three of the super-large aquatic ancient wurms above the sixteenth level alone have been swallowed by the slime group, and these slimes have now all become part of Shi Leiyin's body. Coupled with nearly one and a half million other wurms of various sizes, the amount of energy that now existed in Shi Leiyin's body was so huge that even Ku felt terrified. In this case, it is difficult to predict how long it will take for Shi Leiyin's consciousness to fully control his body and come to his senses.

The appearance of the giant slime sphere has basically solved the problem of the overflow of slimes in the fifth layer. Except for the massive number of slimes that were completely cleaned up by Shi Leiyin at the beginning. The slimes that were born after the orb appeared were also affected by the giant slime orb, and automatically threw themselves into it and became part of the orb.

However, the existence of the giant slime sphere also made the process of the fifth layer of maze have to be suspended. Because in addition to the slime being absorbed by the orb on its own, once a wurmon tries to attack the orb, it will also be devoured by the orb's self-protective instinct. However, the wurmmon, a creature between a monster and a beast, did not have much sense of danger, and as a result, one percent of the newly invested 500,000 wurmmon became part of the sphere in just ten days. In desperation, Ku could only continue to stop the construction of the fifth-layer labyrinth and wait for Shi Leiyin to recover.

Although Shi Leiyin's consciousness has not recovered, the fifth layer is temporarily unusable. However, since the slime problem has been basically resolved, Ku still gives out a part of the reward that should be given to Slimin. Because Shi Leiyin changed the reward of points to the promotion of first-level union benefits and the first-level mercenary level, before he was conscious, only a part of the sixth-level union benefits could be issued, to be precise, the treatment of the three elementary schools had become much better.

However, the rise in welfare benefits cannot settle the hearts of the three little ones who have not seen Shi Leiyin for more than three days. After learning about Shi Leiyin's situation from No. 37, Sanxiao, who had been suppressed by Shi Leiyin and forbidden to enter the labyrinth area, immediately moved his mind. Zilde's excuse was that since Shi Leiyin could no longer work, his living expenses should be earned through his own work. Jieliya's excuse was to know what Shi Leiyin's job was like. And Shui Jing had no excuses, she only said one sentence to No. 37: "I'm going to guard Brother Lei Yin, don't stop me"

So, with the acquiescence of Ku, No. 37 went through the formalities for Sanxiao to become a mercenary. However, because he knew Shi Leiyin's thoughts, No. 37 did not apply for the identity of an official mercenary for Sanxiao, but as a proxy mercenary when Shi Leiyin could not work normally.

In this way, the three children can inherit Shi Leiyin's mercenary level without starting from a zero-level mercenary. At the same time, the three little ones were treated as 'one' mercenaries. Although there is only one reward, you can act together and take on those tasks that are not strictly solo. And there is a task that is suitable for the current situation of the three children, and that is to be the gatekeeper of the labyrinth.

The gatekeeper is also the maze layer master in the mouth of the adventurer, and only after defeating the gatekeeper can he enter the next layer of the labyrinth. And if you can kill the gatekeeper, you can usually get a very generous reward. At the same time, the gatekeeper is also the only existence in the maze with a fixed position, and the gatekeeper will not be replaced without being killed or seriously injured, which is considered a welfare treatment for adventurers in the maze. Even if you can't defeat the Gatekeeper, as long as you can escape, you can be more prepared next time.

For the monster mercenaries, being a gatekeeper is a challenge and a recognition of their own strength. The strength of the gatekeepers on each level must be at least twice the strength of the guerrilla team on this level, which is more than one team in one person, so even the gatekeepers of the first layer must be at least as strong as the monsters in the third layer who carry out guerrilla missions.

Of course, before Shi Leiyin went to the fifth layer, there was no quest for the gatekeeper in the maze, and adventurers could directly reach the next layer of the maze as long as they successfully passed through the maze. After the third layer of the maze is completed, the Gatekeeper quest is available. It wasn't until the fourth layer of the maze was completely completed that the first and second layers of the maze had their own gatekeepers.

The Third Elementary School initially carried out guerrilla missions on the third floor at the request of the 37th. Because of the scarcity of adventurers who can enter the third layer of the labyrinth, the number of battles between the three small and the hungry snake monsters in the maze far exceeds the number of battles with adventurers. This situation did not improve until the advancement of Jieliya.
