Chapter 231 Adventure Party

Xu Qian is an adventurer, she is an archer who has just come out to train, or a ranger.

There is a special martial arts academy on the island of Loriel, and unlike the mainland, it is very interested in long-range weapons, and it breeds rangers who are independent of other swordsmen and so on.

Xu Qian joined the Star Adventure Group after graduating from the academy, the meaning of this star is only literal, there is no invention of television, and there is no star.

There are only three people in the Star Adventure Party, which is not a lot of people, but this is a relatively standard configuration, three people are enough to handle most situations, and if there are more people, the distribution of rewards will become a big problem, and the Adventurer Guild does not have so many large missions to post.

As Chu Jing could see, the tasks of the Adventurer's Guild were all issued by nearby villagers, or individuals, or fund-raising, most of them were temporarily hired tasks, and there were not many who were fighting against monsters.

An adventure group of three adventurers, whether it is against monsters or accepting temporary employment, is a more reasonable configuration.

The other two members of the Star Adventure Group, one is a male swordsman, and the reason why he is called a swordsman instead of a swordsman is because the weapon he uses is a large sword, which is much heavier than ordinary long swords, and can cause good damage to monsters.

The male swordsman's dream is to slay dragons, which seems to be the ultimate mission of the Adventurers' Guild.

The other person is not a magician, there is no magician in the Continent of Gods, she is an alchemist, and Qin Yue's profession is almost the same, they are all refining some strange things, but alchemists are more exaggerated than alchemists, pharmacists, etc., and the ultimate mystery of alchemy is to create the Philosopher's Stone.

The alchemist's purpose in joining the party was to gain knowledge during his travels and to earn money to buy expensive alchemical equipment and materials.

"This is really a good place, there should be a lot of monsters in such a large underground ruins, it should be able to give me the money to change into a new armor, but I don't know if there are dragons, I really want to become a dragon slayer as soon as possible, so that my name can spread throughout the island of Rolles, the entire sea." ”

The swordsman carried the big sword, walked in front with a big grin, and said in a loud voice.

"You still want to slay dragons, dream, and are you a ranger? Go to the front, and don't speak loudly, it will invite danger. ”

The alchemist was not satisfied with the swordsman, but she was only a newcomer herself, and she did not dare to easily join the large adventuring party, nor did she dare to trust other adventurers.

Only this swordsman who seems to be both hot-blooded and honest can be relied on.

There was also a ranger who had just come out of the academy, and he also looked unscheming.

Xu Qian trotted forward a few steps and whispered, "Let's go ahead and explore the way." ”

The swordsman stopped Xu Qian and said arrogantly: "I'm a man who wants to be a dragon slayer, how can I hide behind a woman, you can rest assured, if a monster appears, you can just hide behind me and aim, I can be a wall-like man." ”

Xu Qian thought about it for a while, glanced at the alchemist, and found that she had already turned her head to the side and no longer looked at the two of them.

"Oh. ”

Xu Qian was only a girl after all, and it was the first time she participated in the adventure of exterminating monsters, so she felt that it was better to listen to the words of the swordsman who seemed to be very experienced.

At this time, Xu Qian's ears moved, and she seemed to hear some squirting sounds, as if it was the footsteps of some kind of creature, and she had taken the practical class of the academy carefully, but she couldn't tell what it was.

Other adventurers or some kind of monster?

The alchemist noticed Xu Qian's strange appearance and asked, "What's wrong?

"Not ......"

"Don't worry, I'll protect you, those monsters, under my big sword, not a single one can escape. The swordsman brandished his broadsword and made a "whirring" sound.

Xu Qian hurriedly explained: "It seems that something is coming towards us. ”

The alchemist was stunned for a moment, and his expression became serious, "We have gone very deep, and we have passed through several forks in the road, maybe there are no adventurers passing through here." ”

If no other adventurers pass by, then there may be monsters.

"That's great, my greatsword is already hungry and thirsty!"

The swordsman was even more excited, but he hadn't forgotten to cover the two girls with his body, and in some ways, he was indeed a qualified swordsman.

"Put everything down first, and if you have a combat team, we are very disadvantaged. ”

Alchemists are very calm, and everyone who can become an alchemist can be called a genius, and even in this environment, he remains calm.

Each of them has a large backpack, and it is said that the underground ruins are so large that they may even have to sleep in it for the night, so they have sleeping bags, spare torches, fuel, food, and all kinds of adventure gear in their backpacks.

"Don't be so careful...... swordsman put his backpack down, holding a torch in his left hand, carefully reflecting the dark walls around him.

The alchemist took out a small package from his bosom, which contained a glowing powder.

"That's three besso's worth of illuminator, you don't want to waste it in a place like this. The swordsman shouted in distress.

The reward for this mission is equally shared, and the cost is naturally equally shared, and the lighting powder is evenly distributed to his head is a Beso.

The alchemist said coldly, "If nothing else, I naturally won't use it." ”

She asked Xu Qian again, "Where are those voices now?"

Xu Qian's arrow was also on the bow, and she listened intently, but the sound suddenly disappeared, as if what she had just heard was just an auditory hallucination.

"No ......"

"You can't hear me wrong, do you?" asked the swordsman, no reproach in his tone.

Seeing that his teammates were a little relaxed, the alchemist hurriedly said, "Don't let up! Monsters also have vision in the dark, and our torches are so obvious, they may have discovered us and deliberately hid them." ”

"Are those stupid things that smart?"

The swordsman once fought with a pig-headed man, although the guy was stronger than him, but his IQ was obviously not high, and he stabbed the pig's head with a false sword.

Alchemists know more about monsters, even ordinary jackals, tigers and leopards will hide themselves and sneak attack before attacking, not to mention monsters with a much higher IQ than animals.

"Don't be careless, all we get by killing them is Besso, and if we fail, we will lose our lives. ”

Xu Qian was taken aback by these words, she had never thought that she would be killed by monsters, in her opinion, their adventurers were the natural nemesis of monsters, how could they be killed back.

Just like catching a criminal quickly, it is impossible to know the danger without personally experiencing the pursuit of life and death.

Xu Qian hid tightly behind the swordsman, tightened the armor on her body, and the two fingers that pulled the bow and arrow were a little white because they were too hard.

"Don't scare her. The swordsman glared at the alchemist, patted his chest, and said, "It's going to be fine with me." ”

"Whoa......

There was a sound of something flying over, and the arrow in Xu Qian's hand flew out of his hand, making a sound of metal wanting to collide with the flying object.

Only then did the three of them realize that the object was actually a knife.

Then, many green-skinned little people rushed out, holding small swords the size of daggers in their hands.

"It's ...... Goblins?!"

These little creatures are small but extremely ferocious, like rabid monkeys that often attack villages.

Goblin is just a foreign word, it doesn't make sense what it was originally called, it's called Goblin now.

"Ha, these little things still want to fight against me, a future dragon slayer warrior?!"

The swordsman was originally a little panicked by the sudden attack, but after seeing that it was only seven or eight goblins that attacked him, he instantly regained his fighting spirit.

These little things are the weakest monsters, and the only ones who are weaker than them are the legendary slimes.

The alchemist also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn't a more powerful monster, it was the goblin who was already very lucky.

"Be careful, I don't know how many goblins there are here, find a place against the wall, don't be impulsive. ”

The alchemist put away the flare and sent out another packet of white powder, but it was not used.

Alchemist is a money-burning profession, she can only use a variety of other powders to attack the enemy, of course, just like this, alchemists can't become a member of the adventurers, many powders can only be effective in the hands of alchemists.

"Leave it to me. ”

The swordsman rushed forward with his broadsword, which could also be used as a shield when it came from the side, which was very convenient.

The swordsman didn't have the money to buy armor, he was wearing the same as Xu Qian, it was ordinary leather armor, the value of leather armor was much cheaper than armor, and even ordinary cowhide could be sewn by hand.

The swordsman's moves are wide open, and the skinny goblin is no match for him at all.

The first time Xu Qian saw the killing scene, even the monsters that were killed made her feel very bloody.

When she was in the academy, Xu Qian once used arrows to shoot pheasants flying in mid-air, and pheasants and humanoid monsters were obviously two different species, which brought a great impact to Xu Qian's heart.

"Come to me, don't be too anxious to attack. ”

The alchemist knew Xu Qian well, and it was because of this that he was willing to team up with her, and she pulled Xu Qian to her side.

Xu Qian glanced at the alchemist, let go of the hand that had been tugging into the bowstring, and the arrow flew out like a fad, hitting the forehead of a goblin.

The swordsman turned back to Xu Qian with a sunny smile, "Well done!"

Most of the seven or eight goblins were quickly killed, and two others fled into the depths of the dark ruins, and there was not much ground that the torches could illuminate, so the swordsman did not chase deeply.

"Haha, I'm amazing, just these little things, it's not easy to solve them. ”

"Mm-hmm, hurry up and clean up the goblins, they're the least valuable. ”

The materials on the goblins are not valuable, don't because they often hurt people, someone is willing to spend money to expel them, just cut off their right ear, hand it over to a soldier outside, prove that you have killed so many goblins, and you can receive a bounty.

Naturally, this kind of thing can't be done by girls, and the only male swordsman has to come by himself.

However, suddenly, they all felt that something was wrong, not because it was too quiet, the underground was already very quiet, but a kind of intuition, as if they felt the wind on their skin.

Of course, this is not the wind coming out of the entrance, but the air exhaled by the living beings or the body temperature that brings the flow of air cold and warm, which will make the hair of the more sensitive person stand on end.

When the three of them felt uneasy, Xu Qian immediately leaned over and lay on the ground, which is one of the basic skills of the ranger, judging the enemy's position through the vibration of the ground.

"Yes...... There are quite a few ...... Footsteps, it's a goblin!"

The swordsman wondered, "Are those guys still coming?!Are you looking for death?"

Xu Qian hurriedly shouted, "There are many, many goblins are coming here." ”

Swordsmen and alchemists didn't make much of a move, as goblins were too weak to pose a threat to adventurers.

Soon, they saw a lot of what Xu Qian said.

A large group of goblins with small swords scurried out of the cave, some with small bows and arrows, followed by a cart pulled by a goblin.

"It's ...... Goblin King?"

Compared to the two who were completely stunned, the alchemist blurted out.

"What is the Goblin King?" Facing at least fifty goblins that filled the passage, the swordsman also lost his previous confidence.

The alchemist's face became solemn, and he reached out and touched a few small powder packets in his arms, "The Goblin King is a tall and intelligent goblin that will appear in a large group of goblins, and it is the Goblin King. ”

"Isn't that more powerful than a normal goblin?" the swordsman asked again.

"Not really, it just means that there will be a lot of goblins. ”

After listening to the alchemist's answer, the swordsman was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "No matter how many goblins there are, they are just goblins, can they still hurt me, a dragon slayer warrior?"

If he really is a dragon slayer, then the goblins naturally cannot pose a threat to him, but it is clear that he is not, at least not yet.

The swordsman fell down and rushed over, and the pressure on him from the hordes of goblins was far greater than the battle with the goblins.

The alchemist's face turned ugly, the two of them were long-range, and the meat shield that protected them actually charged on its own.

She said to Xu Qian: "You protect me and don't let them disturb me." ”

Xu Qian knew that the alchemist was going to cast a spell, so she nodded quickly, took out an arrow and put it on the bow, and shot it at a goblin who wanted to rush over.

Fortunately, the swordsman attracted the attention of most goblins, and very few rushed at the two of them.

"On the opposite side of the darkness is the light, and the light will drive out all shadows, illuminate here, and bring light!"

The alchemist sprinkled the illuminated powder on the wall behind him, and the entire wall instantly emitted a soft glow.

This is a soft light for Xu Qian and others, but not for goblins, they have been underground for too long, so long that their eyes have long been accustomed to it, and suddenly feeling the light will make their glasses sting.

"Ah...... Ahh......h

A taller goblin king stood up on the cart, covering his eyes and giving orders to the other goblins with a pained expression.

"Ahhhhhhh......h

The horde of goblins abandoned the swordsman and rushed towards the alchemist and Xu Qian.

"You bastards, your opponent is me!"

The swordsman chased after the goblin, and the big sword swung hard, and the goblin fell to the ground in an instant.

"Dang!"

Suddenly, the greatsword collided with the rock wall, and sparks flew around.

After all, the great sword is a weapon used in the open area, and the other adventurers who enter the underground ruins carry short swords with them, after all, there are only a few like him.

However, this mistake was too big for the battle of life and death, and the other goblins immediately swarmed up, not giving the swordsman time to collect his sword at all.

"Dead ...... Is it there?"

Xu Qian was a little incredulous, and the swordsman fell under the goblin's small sword like this.

"Don't let up!"

The alchemist grabbed a handful of white powder and blew it into the torch: "Where is the spirit of the flame, the creatures of the earth are in trouble, give me a little flame of purification, go!"

The powder causes the torches to skyrocket, igniting the bodies of the approaching goblins.

Xu Qian also grabbed the arrows in the quiver and shot them out one by one, but there were too many goblins, and this was probably a goblin group in the underground ruins, all of which produced extremely rare goblin kings, and there were too many of them.

Not only was the alchemist's various powders applied slowly, but she didn't have much on her, and Xu Qian's quiver was running out.

"Run away, you're a ranger, maybe you can escape alone, remember to find other adventurers to take revenge. ”

There is a hint of desperation in the alchemist, and there is a hint of determination.

"No......" Xu Qian's tears also fell, but unfortunately in this place, tears are not valuable.

"No, maybe there are other adventurers nearby, we can ask for help. Xu Qian held on to the last glimmer of hope and shouted loudly, "Help......

At this time, Chu Jing was walking in the ruins, he was lost, and it can't be said that he was lost, because there was no map, he kept turning right, and at this time he turned an unknown number of turns, and even he didn't know where he was, as for the monster, he didn't see it at all.

Suddenly, in front of him he heard the sound of a violent fight.

"Ah, it looks like this is it. ”

Chu Jing felt very relieved, his idea was correct, he didn't draw a circle and go around, after turning around many times, he almost felt that he was really spinning in a circle.

However, the adventurers came in to hunt monsters, and since it was someone else's prey, he was not prepared to rob it, but continued to turn right and walked forward.

"Help......"

Suddenly, the sound of the fight turned into a cry for help, this time Chu Jing was in a dilemma, whether to save people, how to save it.

It's all walls, and if he follows the cry for help, he can only break the walls, which will reveal his true strength.

Chu Jing didn't hesitate for too long, after all, he was still very helpful, the most important thing was that these adventurers should have enough experience to deal with the complex environment underground, and he didn't want to go around in circles anymore.

Chu Jing immediately broke through several walls and came to the place where the cry for help was heard.
