Chapter 9: You Count Me (I)
Aesop can be regarded as seeing through it, once the fine little Lori goes berserk, let alone Scarlett, even the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't stop it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoOf course, for now, little Lori does have capital arrogance. According to Aesop's estimate, Vera should be level 20 now, and the mule is not lower than level 15, and the giant axe in her hand is at least a C+-level magic weapon.
The facts are right in front of you, and the little Lori who rushed to kill was like a tiger into the flock, unstoppable, flying all the way, and harvesting jaws all over the ground.
Jamila's eyes almost burst out, and the original little anger flew out of the clouds, and they finally didn't forget to fight, and led a group of soldiers to kill the undead legion.
At this time, you can see the difference between the skeleton soldiers who have a command and those who don't. Although the dragon's tooth soldiers have limited IQ, but with them sweeping the formation, the skeleton warriors in front and the skeleton archers in the rear have become very orderly, and they collide with the attacking team.
Several soldiers died in the blink of an eye, and of course, more skeleton soldiers became scum. But the problem is that the undead are so numerous and fearless of death that in front of them, no matter how strong the elite is, they have to retreat - except for Aesop, a small powerhouse who is also fearless of death. With a shy face, he soaked 1 more bottle of primary-level energy potion from the baron, and with this confidence, he was even more undead than an undead, attacking left and right, and screaming at several dragon tooth soldiers.
Jamila and the others became more and more speechless: to touch their conscience, even if the barbarian Dagon borrowed a hundred guts from him, they would not dare to die like this; can look at the people, they are besieged, they see death as home, the little Lori in front and the female ranger in the rear, with proper coordination and a degree of advance and retreat, only three people and one mule can kill the skeleton soldiers to lose their armor and collapse the army, which is simply boundless.
Actually, they're a bit arrogant. Due to the lack of taunt skills at the moment, even if the output of the little Lori soars, she can't hold back the hatred, and the more she rushes and kills, the more chaotic it becomes; If there was no large army to contain it, no Yelia's reply, and relying on Scarlett's harassment alone, Aesop would have been lying on the ground and gnawing bones, how could he have a chance to swipe the screen?
Stunned Qing Isot naturally couldn't see clearly, he just praised Yelia as a nurse, and at the same time brushed his experience with excitement, completely unknown how many soldiers died under the swords and arrows of skeleton soldiers for him.
The sacrifice was finally rewarded, and through the Chaos Killing Field, Aesop rushed to the Dragontooth Soldier in disgrace. The commanders, who had an IQ of 9, finally fell into disarray, and the skeleton soldiers around them began to retreat, and in an instant, they were squeezed into a pulp. This didn't cause much trouble for Aesop, after all, no matter how many soldiers there were, there were only a few on the front line that could hurt people, and the only consequence was that the leg in front broke the ribs in the rear, and the arm bone in the rear poked the chrysanthemum in front, oh no, it was the pelvis, in short, it greatly restricted movement. As a result, the warriors with slightly reduced pressure stabilized the garrison, and the long-range combat power did not decrease at all, but freed up more hands to support Aesop, and the little Lori, who had slowed down, turned her mule head and galloped towards Aesop.
Seeing that victory was in sight, there was a slight disharmony in the situation.
Not being afraid of death does not mean that you will not die. Facing 3 elite monsters, the level is still more than a star and a half apart, and Aesop's pressure is not great. Died ten or twenty times in one breath, the magic shield has long been invalid, and a bottle of energy potion has been used up, if it weren't for the other party's brain show and pit himself, even if Yelia brushed back, he would still lie down with his body open. But at this critical moment, he found himself under a magical attack - the skeleton soldiers had no spell units, and he could guess who was doing it with his knees.
Fakeu, NPC, you count me!
Aesop was furious, and her hands were ruthless, but she was still in danger.
Suddenly, the magic attack came to an abrupt halt - Isolt couldn't help but glance back, surprised to find that the dead old man was foaming at the mouth of blood, holding his face all over the ground and searching for teeth.
He couldn't think too much, so after such a slowdown, Vera came to the front, and the situation finally opened up. After about twenty minutes of hard work, the Dragon's Tooth Soldiers and their little brothers finally fell under the cooperation of everyone, and the remaining skeleton soldiers who had lost their command were no longer threatened, and they were soon wiped out.
The deathmatch, which lasted for more than an hour, was over, and the bloodless Lord Baron gathered the team, and the soldiers were killed and wounded more than thirty, but the elite were in good shape—except for Jamila, who continued to hold her face and stare at Scarlett in annoyance.
Judging from the appearance of the scar, it should be the result of the bow whipping, Aesop glanced at Scarlett gratefully, and stood by her side without hesitation with little Lori. There was a bit of a disagreement on the other side, Yelia and the warrior Uriel, who had always been silent, were obviously not very satisfied with the boss's small movements, and stood aside not very concerned, while the rest of them did not back down, and looked at each other angrily.
Sweeping her eyes over the people who were rectifying, Jamila breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Miss Scarlett, everyone is teammates on the same front, what do you mean by giving the old man a visit for no reason in the fierce battle?!" ”
The tone is sonorous, but unfortunately the mouth is a little leaky, and it seems that the teeth can't be recovered.
"I'd like to ask, what do you mean by your fireballs always falling on Aesop?!" Scarlett asked sharply.
"Hmph, it is inevitable to miss in the melee, and the old man was injured by mistake." Jamila didn't blush or beat her heart, and the others nodded violently.
One or two hits can indeed be said to be a mistake, but if you get hurt from time to time, it is not a "mistake".
Scarlett's expression was cold, and she returned lightly: "Oh, I was also injured by mistake." ”
Little Lori burst out laughing, and Aesop also smiled, praising it in her heart.
Jamila and the others choked so much that their faces turned green, and seeing that they couldn't be good, the baron, who had been offline, finally came over, laughing and getting muddy.
Scarlett didn't intend to talk nonsense, and responded bluntly: "Lord Baron, you can also see that although the skeleton soldiers have been cleaned up, our team has also suffered a lot of losses. It's a tough place to go, and the next one is going to be dangerous, and I don't know what your plans are, but the three of us don't plan to take any more risks. ”
The baron was stunned for a moment, and said in embarrassment: "Well, things are a little troublesome, but this hasn't entered the pit yet, or will you be paid......"
"We don't want to be paid." Scarlett opened her mouth and refused, ignoring Aesop's anxious eyes and slanted mouth, and said without hesitation, "The three of us are not bounty hunters, so there is no need to risk our lives to earn a living." If you feel that it is not suitable, we will do our best to compensate for the previous consumption. ”
These words made everyone else hesitate, and Aesop's heart was bleeding.
And the baron saw that the morale was not good, and said angrily: "I agreed to the commission of the imperial nobles, how can I go back on it at will?" Hmph, you have to weigh whether you can afford it! ”
After a pause, he softened his tone again, and persuaded seriously: "Don't hesitate, warriors, the army of the undead has been successfully wiped out by us, and even the dragon tooth soldiers have been defeated in our hands, why give up halfway?" Of course, Baron Ben doesn't joke with everyone's lives. In this way, we just go down to explore, and if there is anything unusual, we will withdraw immediately, and the rewards promised before will remain the same, and those who bravely kill the enemy and those who unfortunately die will be rewarded twice! ”
The stick and the radish were put on together, and the crowd was immediately excited, and Armstrong took the opportunity to rub their hands against the three of Aesop, and they had a great posture of correcting the Fa on the spot.
At this point, neither for the Baron nor for Jamila and his gang, things could not be good, and Aesop had no intention of doing good. The system has prompted that Mission II has been completed, and the experience reward plus the accumulation of previous monster kills has made him rise to level 16 or more in one go, but there is nothing else to gain, obviously rutile and even more rewards are still in the follow-up tasks.
The situation was unforgiving, and there was no need for Aesop to bewitch her, Scarlett accepted the reality with reluctance, and the team barely came back, and after a short rest, she cautiously stepped into the mine.
I don't know if it's the baron's words, but the next one is really safe, not to mention the undead, not even a mouse has been touched. However, this situation is a repeated reminder that either the skeleton soldiers have exterminated all living things, or there is a greater danger lurking ahead. The team gathered more and more cautiously, ready to retreat at any time, and the three of them fell behind Jamila and the others, intentionally or unintentionally, and quietly approached Yelia, who was focused on protection—they didn't plan to entangle at the moment of life and death, but they didn't plan to hand over their backs to their pig teammates again, and only this gentle female priest was reliable at the moment.
The pit is not complicated, everyone swept around, and found nothing unusual along the way, but went deeper and deeper, as if going deep into the earth, which made people faintly frightened.
Half an hour later, a caving tunnel blocked the front of the group, and the baron counted it up and finally decided to dig it up.
Soon, a faint light appeared among the earth and stones, and everyone's eyes suddenly opened up - a huge emptiness suddenly appeared in front of the tunnel, and in the strange and blurred shadows, a simple and vicissitudes of underground temple towered impressively.
"I, I, a, go~~" Isolt couldn't help but cry out, but everyone didn't react, one by one opened their mouths wide, staring blankly at everything in front of them.
Immediately afterward, Jamila came back to her senses and exclaimed excitedly: "Ruins, really ruins!" ”
Surprise swept through the ranks like a hurricane, and there was an uproar up and down.
Aesop couldn't help but feel chills. It feels very similar to the Gloomy Barrier, so what's the connection? What secrets are hidden? Maybe you can find out after the level is high, but for now, it can only mean the unknown great danger!
The Scarlett sisters also apparently sensed that something was wrong, and the three of them looked at each other and retreated together.
At this time, the Baron, who was more decorative than practical, finally came into play, and he almost rushed to the front, and exclaimed with great affection: "Oh my God, is this the black prison Vakkana that Granmer has passed down from generation to generation, and I can witness this miracle with my own eyes, it is really in vain!" ”
Everyone immediately pricked up their ears, and at the same time, a system prompt appeared in front of Aesop's eyes:
【Call of the Nibelungen (Rank B/Hidden Quest III)】The awakened old gods, the loose seals, time has worn everything away, and the legendary Black Hell Vakana has reappeared in the world, and the mysterious treasure is in front of you, it is a question of fortune or death. (Expiration date: 8 months)
The quest will actually be upgraded! A good C+-level mission has become a B-class!
Aesop had no desire to move forward. What ancient gods and legends are secondary, just a "b", he can't hold it, just like a man who doesn't lift meets a beautiful woman who throws himself into his arms, he can't eat it just by looking at it, and there is nothing more painful in the world than this.
Jamila next to him was the old god, and he shook up to the baron and asked with a pleasant face: "My lord, what is the matter with the 'Black Prison Wakana'?" Could it be that Granmer still has any treasures? ”
The baron, who was so excited that he was still in a trance, didn't think about it, and replied casually: "Haha, yes, legend has it that in ancient times, Granmer was the holy place of the dwarven kingdom, and the underground 'Black Prison Vacana' sealed the secret treasures of the ancient gods, which were guarded by the dwarves for generations......"
Suddenly, he woke up, stared at Jamila vigilantly, and scolded, "Why are you asking this? ”
Jamila smiled slightly, and said leisurely: "Lord Baron, you see, the situation has changed, and the reward cannot be calculated as before. In this way, we don't want the rutile, and all the things of this ruin are ours. ”
The baron's eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted angrily, "Are you crazy? This is Granmer's treasure, which of course belongs to me, the Baron of the Empire. Listen, don't have any delusions, quit all of them honestly, I'm going to send an army to accept it! ”
Jamila shook her head amusedly, and with a gesture, Armstrong and Glaris hurried forward, immediately surrounding the baron.
The soldiers who were tired and excited were unexpected, and only then did they react suddenly, but unfortunately they hesitated and did not dare to act rashly.
"Big, bold, what do you want to do? Dare to coerce the nobles of the empire, are you not afraid of cutting off your head and exterminating the clan? The baron's face changed dramatically, and he shouted anxiously.
"Hehe, as long as we get the treasure of the legend, who dares to touch us?!" Jamila's eyes widened, and she shouted angrily, then turned to Yelia and Uriel, who were hesitant, and called out, "The opportunity is right in front of you, what are you two doing in a daze?" Think clearly, we're in the same boat, and if something goes wrong, don't try to stay out of it! ”
Yelia and Uriel glanced at each other, took a deep breath, and finally walked over to Jamila's side.
Jamila nodded in satisfaction, then pointed to the three Aesop and ordered the soldiers: "Take the three of them down to the old man!" This is the baron's order! ”
"You, you, you......" The baron's face turned the color of pig's liver, and he shivered as he stared at Jamila.
"Is the old man wrong, Lord Baron?" Jamila smiled.
The baron opened his mouth with difficulty, and finally lowered his head in despair. Seeing him like this, the hesitant soldiers moved, and the three of Aesop had already tensed up their bodies and minds, and the two sides confronted each other coldly.
Aesop glanced at the hint in passing, but there was no additional mission description, which meant that the accident in front of her was also counted in Mission III.
Therefore, people's hearts are ghostly, comparable to monsters~~
He sighed in his heart, and shouted in his mouth: "Warriors, do not be deceived. He used the baron to coerce you, even if you kill the three of us, and then force you to explore the way, won't you die the same? It's better to fight together, and you may even die and live! ”
"Hehe, stupid." Jamila glanced at Aesop with disdain, and shouted at the soldiers, "Dead Baron, you still can't survive if you go out, as long as the prophecy spell is checked, you can't escape to the ends of the earth." Only by following us to take down the treasure can we really live and die. ”
As he spoke, he turned to Scarlett and said proudly, "The old man is right, miss." You've been standing still, isn't it taboo to do this? ”
Scarlett sighed and said, "So, we just have to tie our hands and take it?" A little offense, you must kill them all? ”
"No, no, no, you're mistaken." Jamila shook her finger and smiled coldly like a poisonous snake, "To be honest, the strength of the three of them is indeed very strong, and the old man doesn't plan to waste his precious combat power like this." So, choose the three of you, or be besieged by us, or go and find our way! You see, the old man takes care of the troops, right? ”
As she spoke, Jamila glanced at Aesop again.
Aesop's nose was almost crooked: it was unbearable to be despised by NPCs! Then again, this task is really forced to Liangshan, although it is a little early, but it can only be reluctantly difficult - anyway, I am not afraid of death.
With this in mind, Aesop became careless, and as soon as she and the Scarlett sisters assembled, they set off.
At this moment, Jamila spoke again: "Wait, don't worry about letting me go like this, Miss Scarlett will stay as a hostage." ”
The three of them were all stunned, and Aesop thought about it carefully, and understood in a blink of an eye: in the eyes of the other party, little Lori is a time bomb, and she is too eccentric, only by catching Scarlett, the one who makes suggestions, everything will be easy. It's just that Vera is not easy to handle here.
Frowning, he looked at the little Lori, but he didn't expect the other party to bite his lip and blush, and finally nodded wordlessly.
Helplessly wading on the map, the hidden mission unfolded inexplicably.
