Crises always come when people don't have warning, and Chen An and Alex, who are in the jungle labyrinth, would not have imagined that a team of Divine Favorites who had guessed their location was quietly approaching.

After the meal, Alex, who was still full of energy and with excellent physical fitness, let the exhausted Chen An rest first, and he took up the task of patrolling near the camp.

Alex was not worried about a surprise attack by the monster because he had checked the surrounding situation in advance, and after a cursory inspection, he simply took out a small whetstone and began to sharpen the dagger.

As a wealthy newcomer, Alex's equipment for hunting monsters is shabby, and the only dagger in his hand that can be used as a weapon is the inferior goods he has bought from the blacksmith shop after exhausting the last of his money, and it may not take long to break and scrap, but despite this, a dagger is always more threatening than his bare hands.

Besides, if you don't even have a weapon, which god will take you to the Demon Sealing Tower for adventure training? This has nothing to do with strength, it's just a matter of personal attitude.

Alex didn't think about borrowing money from Chen An to buy weapons, anyway, as long as he could hunt independently in the Demon Sealing Tower after following the Divine Favor Senior's training for a few months, the future standard of living would inevitably rise sharply, the problem was that he knew that Chen An also had no money, because most of his money was basically contributed to Bella Oka's library, considering the price of a fine steel longsword, he finally gave up the plan to borrow money.

As for borrowing money from Joseph or the gangster loan sharks, he did have this idea, but unfortunately before he could put it into action, he was urgently called by the seniors of the gods to go to the Demon Sealing Tower to practice, and he planned to operate this matter after he returned, but after hearing the news that the temple was going to arrest Chen An, he delayed it again, and sometimes Alex couldn't help but regret it a little, he knew that he would borrow the money first, otherwise he would not have been reduced to only a poor dagger to defend himself.

After carefully polishing the blade of the dagger to a sharp and shiny finish, Alex made a few gestures back and forth in his hand, and he always felt more and more comfortable with the use of the dagger, maybe this was the most suitable weapon for him.

......

"Balins, you're the best at tracking and scouting on the team, so you'll be in charge of searching for Alex's whereabouts. ”

As a flash of red light flashed at an altar on the fifth floor, Norred and his team members appeared en masse, and on the way to the jungle labyrinth, he took the opportunity to plan the next plan of action.

"Roger!" Balins said with a hippie smile as he raised his hand upward.

"Amanda and Clark, the two of you are responsible for checking the situation of the monsters near the jungle maze and eliminating potential hidden dangers as much as possible. ”

"Roger!" Amanda replied at the same time as a seductive man and a grim-faced Clarke.

"Kit and I are on standby for the time being, and we will wait until you have completed your mission and gathered with us before moving on to the next step!" said Norled, patting Kit, a burly and sturdy member of the team.

"I say, Captain, is it necessary to be so troublesome to deal with Alex's little hairy boy?" Barlins wondered.

"To be honest, it's not that hard to deal with Alex, anyone on the team can easily handle him, but it never hurts to be cautious, and you seem to have forgotten that Alex has another person by his side. Norled said solemnly.

"You're talking about the mortal named Ann?" Amanda thought as she tilted her head.

"Yes!" Nolade nodded. "I always feel that this mortal named Ann is not very simple. ”

"Hehe, just a mortal, it's already the greatest luck for him to survive to the fifth layer safely, without Alex's help, I don't think he would have survived in the first layer of the Demon Sealing Tower. Clarke, who has always been arrogant, said in a scathing tone.

"Indeed, based on the information provided by the temple and my personal knowledge, there is nothing to praise about this friend of Alex, but the question is why would the temple consider him a blasphemous as well?" Nored squinted.

"Probably Alex's involvement. Balins shrugged.

"Please, if you learn that you are considered a blasphemer by the Temple, will you take your friends and run away, and more importantly, why would they flee with you?" Nored shook his head and sighed.

"Maybe the real target of the temple is him, not Alex, and the person who is really implicated is actually Alex. Kit, who had been silent, suddenly said with an urn.

That's the same answer I can think of. Nored snapped his fingers.

"Mortals... Blasphemous...... Could it be that the other party's real identity is a cultist?" Clark guessed for a moment.

"Who knows, if you speculate along these lines, there must be some big secret hidden in this man named Ann that we don't know!" Nored mused.

"Why do you want to think about it so much, when the time comes, you will find out if you catch them and torture them directly!" said Balins, impatiently.

"That's right, it seems that I think too complicated, or is it a simple-minded person who thinks straightforwardly!" Nored couldn't help but laugh.

"Captain...... You're speaking ill of me again!" Balins said with a disgruntled look on his face.

"It's a big deal, I'll invite you to drink when I go back, it's enough!" Nored said with a pretended heroic wave of his hand.

", don't think I don't know you want to get drunk again, I'll sneak away and I'll pay the bill afterwards!" Barlins said angrily.

The atmosphere of the Norride team is quite relaxed along the way, although they attach great importance to the capture of Alex in words, but from everyone's performance, they can find their inner disapproval, perhaps, the combination of Alex and Chen An is really too weak, so weak that they don't bother to treat each other squarely.

......

Chen An takes a long time to wake up every time he rests, the reason is naturally not only his physical problem, the Demon Sealing Tower itself is not suitable for mortals to survive, and staying for a long time will only cause constant hidden diseases and dark injuries to the body, maybe there is no need for the temple to arrest, Chen An will stay in the Demon Sealing Tower for a year and a half, maybe he will die of illness directly.

Didn't Alex understand this question? Didn't Chen An understand? No, they all did, but no one mentioned it.

Chen An didn't mention it, he wanted to get each other's relief after dying silently.

Alex didn't mention it, Chun Shatter didn't want to let each other fall into sad and negative emotions.

Looking at Chen An who was sleeping in the tent, Alex was a little upset and carried the gravel under his feet, he had to think of a way, a way to stop Chen An's slow death!

Ever since he stabbed the dark and skinny monster on the fourth floor of the Demon Tower, Alex found himself seemingly in love with the thrill of fighting for his life, especially after the final victory between life and death, and his prostration mental and physical seemed to be greatly satisfied.

Is this the fate of the existence of the Divine Ones?

Compared with his original self, even if there are often petty thefts, Alex has never thought of using violent crime to grab profits, and he is not one of those vicious gangsters who dare to wantonly kill, rape, and abduct women and children on the fringes of the law, and even he is afraid to avoid these people.

He didn't know why he was indifferent to violent crimes, and even in the face of the temple's raids, his first thought was not to surrender to him, but to rise up and resist.

Sometimes he wonders if he is still himself?

It's useless to think too much, it's better to reminisce about every moment of that battle and tap into the potential God-given power in your body as much as possible.

With this in mind, Alex sat down in meditation, emptied his head, and slowly blended his body's breath with his surroundings.

Meanwhile.

Norled's team had arrived outside the jungle labyrinth, and according to the established plan of action, Balins was the first to leave the team and go deeper into the labyrinth, while Amanda and Clark began to check the surrounding monsters, leaving Norred and Kitt to sit idly idle.

"Captain, I have a sense of foreboding for this operation. As the others had been away for a while, the big guy Kit suddenly spoke.

"Kitt, you're not kidding, are you?" said Norled with a serious face, he knew that Kitt's belief in the god of calamity had a certain ability to prophesy, and all believers in the god of calamity would sense it before the crisis came.

"It's true, because my heart couldn't be at peace from the beginning. Kitt said in a deep voice.

"Whew...... Looks like something is going bad. Nored scratched his hair in annoyance. "Why didn't you remind us of such an important thing earlier?"

"The hunch happened too late. Kit shook his head.

"What will happen to this operation?" Norad mused. "Alex? No, he shouldn't have the ability...... Or will we encounter some terrifying hidden monster in the labyrinth?"

“...... No, I can't wait! I have to go to the depths of the labyrinth to find Balins, after all, he is only one person, and if something happens, he has the best chance of an accident. Norred immediately stood up, anxiously preparing to walk into the labyrinth forest. "Kitt, stay here for the time being, and if Amanda and Clark come back and explain the situation, don't act rashly until I come back. ”

"What if you don't come back either?" said Kit, staring at Norled with a serious expression.

Nored froze, then turned back with a reassuring smile. "I'm not the impulsive fool of Balins, so I'll be back. ”

With that, Norled's figure disappeared into the jungle maze.

And none of them expected that Balins had already confronted Alex directly in the camp deep in the labyrinth.
