Volume 3 Chapter 81 Attack on Heroes (3)
Zax slashed down the monster in front of him with a sword, gasping for air. After officially entering the third layer, Zax felt that the strength of this labyrinth had truly exploded. Except for a small open space at the entrance to provide camping, the only place where the entire third floor can be settled is those mangrove roots that are more than ten meters high. Not to mention the unevenness, there are often snake-like monsters hiding under the roots of trees or simply disguised as tree roots. If it weren't for the fact that there was a sage in his team who was good at using the ability to identify Warcraft, even if it was himself, he would have been bitten by sneak attacks at least three times.
For a whole day, Zax felt like the team hadn't even reached half or even a third of the way to the third floor. And the number of battles with these low-level demonic beasts exceeded twenty times. Halfway through, he also encountered a team of patrolling monsters in the maze, and almost lost his staff. And just now, I finally found the rest place made by the previous adventurer, but I was attacked by a monster that was ambushed in the rest place.
This time, not only did all the players hang the lottery, but one of the two deputies was seriously injured, and one arm was almost bitten off, even if he used the Holy Light Technique, he still needed to be immobilized with a splint before he could move.
"This is the third layer, even I feel in danger, how did Her Royal Highness the princess run to the fourth floor?" Zax smiled bitterly and took out a card, which was a free in-maze service card given by the members of the Jinkisia Chamber of Commerce at the entrance of the labyrinth. Almost all professionals who enter the maze for the first time will get such a one, in addition to being able to summon one escort service for free, but also explain in detail the charging standard, the scope of services, and the exemption agreement.
In fact, when he got the card, Zax asked if he could ask the Golden Kis Chamber of Commerce to find the missing princess on his behalf. However, the offer of up to 270,000 gold coins for the search and escort range made Zax understand why the king of the Holy Kingdom would apply for a heroic mission, instead of paying for the Chamber of Commerce to get his daughter back. An ordinary princess is really not worth the price.
However, although the Chamber of Commerce cannot be allowed to find the princess, it is still possible for the Chamber of Commerce to send two members of their own combat effectiveness back to the entrance town for now. If it weren't for the persecution of the Wind Forest Volcano and the Golden Hunter behind him, Zax would definitely choose to quit first, reorganize and then enter the labyrinth. Performing a heroic mission does not mean that you have to do it hard, let alone complete the mission if you lose your life.
Sending off the two seriously wounded, Zax also reported his situation to the Wind Forest Volcano Adventure Group in the rear. In one day, the next two hero teams have passed through the first and second layers of the labyrinth. However, at the request of Elosath, the two teams did not move on, but stayed in the safe zone at the entrance of the third level and waited for news from Zax, as the Holy Light Brigade had done a day ago.
"Can't fight on the ground, and the harassing attacks of a large number of snake monsters?, what do you think of the Golden Hunter?" After having people contact the Golden Hunter's team with their identities, Elozas did not hide his intention to try to dominate the two teams. Although the hero level of the Golden Hunter has reached the green level, his strength is only seven and seventeenth, and he does not have much chance of winning against the two guards on the face of Elothas, and the person in charge of commanding the soldiers in the team has also recognized the other party, so he can only acquiesce to his dominance.
"If there is no one to command the snake demonic beasts, I have a potion that can drive away all the snake demonic beasts below the fifth order, and the snake demonic beasts of the sixth and seventh orders will avoid it if they smell it in advance. But if someone commands it, it will be invalid. The golden hunter didn't talk nonsense, he directly took out a small jar, and when he opened it, it emitted a faint fragrance, although it was not irritating, but it was very long-lasting. "A little bit of nail size on each person's body can last for three days, but it will reduce the effect when it gets wet, so be careful not to touch it. ”
"I'm very interested in this, can you sell me a can and study it?" Alosas took a potion, put it under his nose, sniffed it, made sure there were no harmful ingredients, and applied it to his neckline.
"One hundred thousand gold coins a can" The golden hunter glanced at Elothas, frowned, suddenly thought of something, and made a price.
"Deal!" Elothas took a small jar of potion from the golden hunter with a look of surprise on his face, and then handed over a continental general gold card. He knew that he had gone too far this time, but although the backup hidden behind him was strong, there was such a jar of potion that could save him too much trouble, even if it was a ** trap, there was no way, and obviously the golden hunter should have guessed that he had a backup.
With the help of the Golden Hunter's potion, the two teams moved forward at a much faster speed than the Light Brigade, eventually catching up with the Light Brigade as it reached the safe zone in front of the gatekeepers. At this time, only the regiment commander Zax of the Holy Light Brigade still maintained complete combat effectiveness, and the remaining five people were injured differently, although they did not completely lose their combat effectiveness, but it was difficult to exert more than half of their strength.
Seeing Elosas and the others, who arrived almost completely unharmed, Zax felt both angry and helpless.
"Your Excellency, you can also see that due to lack of preparation, my Holy Light Brigade can no longer continue to serve as a striker. Zax lowered his head and reluctantly told Elothas about his situation, "If you don't catch up, I'll have to use that scroll to kill the gatekeeper and wait for you to arrive." ”
"As a yellow-level hero, you give up your mission so easily, okay?I heard that this time it's still a hero mission," Elosas hadn't spoken yet, and the fire man in charge of the external affairs in the Wind Forest Volcano spoke first. And as an orange-level hero, he fired directly at Zax's hero level.
"You ......" was choked by the other party, but Zax couldn't refute it, although he suffered a serious loss on the third layer of the maze due to insufficient preparation, but in addition to being persecuted, he did have his own reasons for underestimating the maze. Therefore, being questioned by the fire man, Zax really felt a lot of apologies.
"Heroic activities are often accompanied by great dangers, and if you don't always be fully prepared, you can easily die in heroic missions. I don't have any common sense, I really don't know how you got to the yellow level. "The Golden Hunter is also mending his sword on the side, and he can rise to the green level hero, and the Golden Hunter has naturally carried out more heroic missions than Zax, and has seen more situations. Although he sympathized with Zax's plight, as he said, since it was a heroic mission, the lack of preparation was not an excuse at all.
"Okay, okay, the two of you don't have to say a few words" Elosas saw that the time was almost up, and came out to play a round "I also know that the Holy Light Brigade set off too hastily this time, so I will pay for an ambulance assistance from the Golden Kis Chamber of Commerce to recover the injuries of the members of the Holy Light Brigade, and by the way, I will also send the two members you sent away." The next third-tier gatekeepers will still be dealt with by your Holy Light Brigade, of course, we will give you a little formation. Once you reach the fourth level, you are free to find your own target, but you still have to keep the message going. ”
"Well," Zax, though reluctant in his heart, did not dare to refute Elosas's decision, "then thank you, sir." ”
