Roy smiled and didn't speak. △ ↗ Top Novel, x.

To be honest, the purpose of his coming here was only to find the Abyss Dragon Root, and all he cared about was this team that worked well together, and he didn't care what other people thought of him.

Roy wasn't going to talk nonsense to Hoover, but Hoover was annoyed by the laughter of the Ice Star Squad and Roy's ignorance.

"Why," Hoover said with an angry laugh, looking at Roy, "Am I not right? You pee on yourself, and with your garbage strength, you are also worthy of being our first scout?"

Roy's fire flared up.

From the beginning of the labyrinth, this Hoover has been targeting the Ice Star Squad, and there has been no good face along the way. It's as if the Ice Star Squad is a handout for everyone to work with.

Now, seeing that he is a scout, he jumps out again, and without the slightest understanding of communication, he questions for no reason and delays time.

"Mr. Hoover," Roy said coldly, "don't you feel thirsty after so much chatter? ”

With a bang, the mercenaries all around exploded.

Roy's words almost pointed at Hoover's nose and reprimanded.

I've seen no rules, I've never seen such no rules. A third-level mercenary actually dared to reprimand a sixth-level mercenary. It's ridiculous to the extreme. Not only the people of the Hoover team were indignant, but also the people of the other teams were in an uproar.

"Where did this kid come from, does he understand the rules?"

"It's arrogant. ”

"It's a miracle that this kind of guy has mixed up with a third-level mercenary and hasn't been killed!"

The crowd was gossiping and talking.

Of the six teams, the kid named Leo was the least strong. Even if it's a miscellaneous servant in Marjorie's squad. They are all better than him.

It's because he is Marjorie's nephew, and he has followed Marjorie for many years, so he has such an opportunity, and he is cautious along the way, for fear of making mistakes. This kid's strength is not as good as others, and he dares to reprimand a senior mercenary. This is not only unruly, it is simply crazy!

If he hadn't been a member of his own team, I'm afraid that the old mercenaries would have slapped him in the face and taught this ignorant idiot a lesson.

"Mr. Rondello ......" Marjorie on the side said: "This player of yours is too unruly." ”

Rundello said indifferently: "I think Leo is right. ”

Marjorie's brows furrowed, and the mercenaries around him were in an uproar. Even Olivia and Wood couldn't believe their ears.

The two looked at each other in amazement, and there was a wry smile on their faces.

With what they knew about Londero on a daily basis, this Knight of Light of the Ice Star Knights. Definitely a fair, calm and very trustworthy and respected mercenary, a real old horse.

But no one expected that he would be so protective.

Now, both of them wondered if it was a mistake for them to advocate letting the Ice Star team go with them.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that I, Hoover, have been in the mercenary world for twenty years. I was actually taught a lesson by a third-level mercenary. Hoover laughed angrily.

However, after so many years. He was well aware that the situation was in his favor. Trying to keep his expression calm, he said to Roy, "If you ask me what I want, then I will make it clear." This position is related to the safety of all of us, and it is not a ...... for you to serve."

"If you're not convinced, that's fine. I'll have our squad of scouts compete with you, and I can apologize to you if you're really good. If you can't do it, then ......," he said, turning his head to look at Rondero, "I don't think we can continue to work together. ”

This is clearly to drive the Ice Star team away.

Everyone looked at each other. They all shook their heads. Although everyone saw Hoover's intentions, no one spoke out to criticize him. After all, compared to the rookie who didn't know the height of the sky and the short-sighted Rondero, Hoover's expression can be called magnanimous and fair.

"Competition?" Roy asked, surprised.

"Yes. Hoover said contemptuously, "You don't know how scouts fight, do you?"

The way the scouts competed, Roy certainly understood. Typically, the same area is explored at the same time for a period of time. Whoever probes wider, goes farther, and has more detailed intelligence wins.

This is a test not only of the scout's speed, stamina, and personal strength, but also of the ability and experience to distinguish traps and identify various terrains, landscapes, flora and fauna.

But...... Roy shook his head and said, "Not interested, a waste of time." ”

As soon as these words came out, many people present couldn't help but let out a burst of boos. Even some people who originally sympathized with this little rookie who was targeted by Hoover were all disgusted at this time.

"If you don't dare, you don't dare, and you waste time. A knight thrust his sword into the ground and said disdainfully.

"yes, it's okay if you don't have the ability," the other mercenary spat on the ground, "I hate this kind of braggadocio that has no ability and brags." I'm blushing for him!"

"I have nothing more to say...... Hoover turned his head to look at Olivia and Wood, shrugged his shoulders, and his face was helpless, but his heart was already happy.

He didn't expect this kid to be so good that he dug a small hole, and he simply jumped off the cliff himself.

With such a person in the Ice Star Squad, who would want to cooperate with them?

Olivia sighed in disappointment.

She said to Rondelo, "Monsieur Rondelo, I have no prejudice against you and your team. On the contrary, I have always maintained trust and respect. But ......"

She glanced at Roy, "This member of your team is really ...... I don't even know what to say. In short, we can't put the safety of the team in his hands. Since you don't want to change scouts, I can only say sorry......"

"Needless to say," Rondello interrupted Olivia, "I understand. In that case, let's go our separate ways. ”

He paused and said, "However, there are some things I want to make clear. ”

"First of all, Leo is a very good mercenary and our trusted companion. We have appointed him as the first scout precisely out of responsibility to everyone. And without knowing him. I feel angry and sorry for questioning him for no reason. ”

Since it has come to this point, Landelo's words are very direct. He looked at Hoover and said unceremoniously, "Mr. Hoover, my advice to you is. You should have your eyesight checked properly. Your vision is very disappointing. ”

Hmph, Hoover snorted coldly, and was about to sneer at him, but Rondello had already turned his head away and ignored him.

"Secondly, we have had a great time working with you along the way, and we have benefited a lot. Originally, in order. Now it's our turn to get out of the way. I didn't expect ......."

He shook his head and didn't say any more, just said to Olivia and the others, "We don't want to take advantage of anyone. If you think it's necessary, you can follow us. ”

After speaking, Rondello did not wait for everyone to reply, turned around, and beckoned, "Let's go." ”

Everyone in the Ice Star team left with Rondero, and Racios was leaving. Spat on the ground and said to Hoover, "Self-righteous idiot." ”

Mercenaries from various squads. They all got out of the way, watching the Ice Star team leave, with complicated expressions.

To be honest, if it weren't for Hoover jumping out to accuse, the others wouldn't have much of an opinion on who would be the scout on the Ice Star Squad. After all, a scout can't do it. Strength is only one aspect. Whether it's a mule or a horse, you don't know until you actually take it out and walk around.

If that kid really can't do it, at most a kilometer, it will be completely revealed. It's still too late to replace him then.

Except for this kid, the rest of the Ice Star Team is a good player.

There are three knights on the team. Roundelo, Lake, and Larry, who are strong, calm, and experienced, feel very grounded like a solid wall. The two French professions have strong attack power, and their shots are simple and decisive, and they are definitely worthy of two heavy cannons.

And the barbarian female warrior and the two-knife ranger are also equipped with stunts, guarding left and right, wandering and hunting, and their movements are skillful and sharp.

Even the most picky person has to admit that working with the Ice Star Squad is indeed a pleasure. Although they didn't open the way in front of them along the way, there was no difference in whether it was attacking or cooperating.

Pity......

Looking at the back of the Ice Star team leaving, the corners of Hoover's mouth hooked up a sneer.

"Hmph, don't think you'll be able to find ruins when you get to the Dark Basin. He said disdainfully, "It's hard to say whether they can get to the center of the basin or not." ”

"Center?" one of the Hoover Team scouts pouted, "and you can walk five kilometers and burn incense." The Dark Basin is not as simple as they think. ”

Hoover smiled and said to the scout: "Ziggy, you have been to the Dark Basin, this time you work hard, and explore the way ahead." We are not like some people, when it is their turn to explore the way, they deliberately make things up and find excuses to slip away. ”

Ziggy nodded. This is a big man with messy hair, a glorious five-star knight, a seventh-level marksman, and a well-known scout among the southern mercenaries.

"No problem," Ziggy said, "but I can't do it alone. Preferably two people. It's too dangerous here. The last time I came, I was just walking around on the sidelines, and I couldn't go in at all. ”

"Black Feather," Marjorie said, "you and Ziggy." ”

"Yes. Hei Ling said.

"Then let's go. Olivia said, looking a little distracted.

Although she sided with Hoover in the dispute with the Ice Star Squad, it did not mean that she liked Hoover as a person.

In her opinion, among the captains, Hoover was the most selfish and narrow-minded. Just made a fuss about the scouts of the Ice Star Squad, on the surface, it seemed to be for everyone's sake, but in fact, I am afraid that most of them are just to drive the Ice Star Team away.

Olivia believed that in the most dangerous times, Hoover was definitely the most unreliable person.

And...... Although he is also not optimistic about the rookie who only has the strength of one star of glory, I don't know why, Olivia always feels as if she has done something wrong.

Shaking her head and putting all these thoughts behind her, Olivia beckoned and commanded the team to set off.

The place where they were was was a small slope at the foot of the Great Mountain on the edge of the Dark Basin, and to enter the basin, they had to go in the direction that the Ice Star team had left.

After going down the hill and walking less than two hundred meters, five mercenary teams entered a stone forest one after another.

"Huh?" As soon as they walked into the stone forest, Olivia and the others noticed that something was wrong.

"It's so dark in here. Wood looked around and said with a solemn expression.

In the stone forest, it was dark. There was no fog, but the visibility was suddenly reduced as if it was obscured by something.

At the same time, the sense of direction was also problematic.

"What's going on, why did the lava waterfall run to the left?" Olivia looked at in surprise.

She found that the fiery red lava waterfall that was originally on her right didn't know when it actually appeared on her left. Originally, a dark river appeared on his left.

This obvious change in the position of the reference object suddenly blurred her sense of direction.

However, in the eyes of Wood and others, this is not the case.

"No, it's obviously a dark river. The lava river is still on our right. You're dazzled. Marjorie, who walked beside Olivia, said.

"But......" Olivia was about to speak, pointing in the direction of the lava falls, when she saw a member of her team walking in the other direction.

"Spark, where are you going? Come back. ”

Almost at the same time, Jacob's voice rang out next to him: "Tommy, why are you going? Damn, do you hear me, come back!"

The mercenary who had been called walked back, and the expression on his face was a little confused. It seems that until now, they didn't know how they left the team without realizing it and went in the other direction.

What shocked everyone even more was that they had only walked into this stone forest for a few tens of meters, and they couldn't find their way back.

Regardless of the front and back, left and right, there are towering stone pillars. The tall ones are hundreds of meters high, and the short ones are twenty or thirty meters high. In mid-air, there are floating mountain peaks. People walk in it like a swarm of tiny ants. Either way, it seems to be the same.

"The Dark Basin is a bit of an evil one. Wood looked solemn.

"Stop. Olivia quickly gave the order, directing everyone to gather together and be on guard in a circular defensive formation.

"Wait for the scouts to figure out the way first, and then we'll go. ”

There was no need to urge, the two scouts, Qige and Hei Ling, had already touched the depths of the stone forest left and right.

Looking at the cautious backs of the two scouts, everyone subconsciously turned their gaze to another direction dozens of meters away.

That's the direction where the Ice Star team is.

The Ice Star team only walked less than a minute ahead of them, and when they entered the stone forest, it was only a gap between the front and back feet.

It's just that Olivia and the others entered the stone forest from the left, while the position of the Ice Star team was on the right, and the two sides were thirty or forty meters apart.

Right now, the Ice Star team is in front of everyone's right.

The Dark Basin is an open area in an abyssal labyrinth. There are no roads here, and there are only a few fixed routes, unlike in the Dark River and the Cave**. To reach the core of the basin where the site is located, there are theoretically countless paths to choose from.

However, just because you have more choices doesn't mean it's easy. On the contrary, this is the hardest place to walk and the most testing of scouting ability.

For example, in this stone forest, I don't know how many dangers are hidden. The same rock, going around from the left and going around from the right, can be two very different encounters. This means that whether it is heaven or hell depends on the scout's whims.

After seeing the strangeness and danger here, the mercenaries sweated for the two scouts on their side. Everyone was even discussing whether Captain Jian Yì sent one more scout to ensure that there were no omissions and nothing went wrong.

But the Ice Star team in front of the right only has one scout.

And this scout is the rookie...... (To be continued......)
