"It's time for the safety line. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" The team's scout, Red, used his spear to clear away some of the rocks on the side of the road, looked at the inconspicuous signs on the corners, and said in a deep voice, "No one knows what to expect further along. ”

The so-called safety line refers to the boundary line that the soldiers explored and cleared, and for this cave, it is the dividing line between "safety" and "danger".

This cave they explored is located on the western side of the Barren Mountains, next to the town of Rye. In order to prevent the cave from being able to breed some dangerous things, the soldiers of Rye Town come here every three months to explore and clean up, to avoid the proliferation of monsters such as goblins and the presence of some dangerous creatures.

The security line is the sign they leave behind after each exploration and clean-up before leaving.

Adventurers with experience in caving know that the main enemy is getting lost before reaching safety. And after crossing the safety line, the main enemy becomes all kinds of monsters that may appear underground at any time.

After all, the adventurers all act in small teams, and a team has as little as three or five people and as many as more than ten people, which is much inferior to the combat effectiveness of an army of fifty people acting collectively. When encountering monsters that only the army can deal with, they often have no choice but to flee, or even escape.

Among the four towns in the northwest, Rye Town is the only one with "elite troops". Because it is rich in grain and is the main treaty port between the four towns in the northwest and the gold coin federation, the business is also very developed. Therefore, the various organizations that unite to rule this town can have enough income to support the elite army of fifty people.

Each soldier of this army was armed with the same force as a regular adventurer, able to wield at least two of the usual weapons of spear, sword, shield, bow, and axe, and was able to gallop on horseback if necessary. They usually train intensively, or patrol the town, whenever dangerous monsters appear near the town. Or when it was time for an expedition to clear the perimeter, they would be fully armed, one by one, wearing sturdy armor, and with the assistance of the chaplains and mages of the army, they would wipe out anything that threatened Rye Town in the vicinity.

They often come to this cave called the "Great Black Cave" to explore and clean up, and more than once they exterminate the monsters that live here, and the most fierce fight is one of them. Brought back the left ears of nearly three hundred goblins, as well as parts from more than twenty other monsters, as well as the corpses of two companions.

It was made by a terrifying monster, it had the head of a cow and the body of a man, and it was taller than a normal person standing when it sits, and its hard body was like a sun-dried ancient tree, and the arrows could only penetrate it a little bit. It has four arms, each thicker than a normal human thigh, and wields four battle axes in battle. It's a terrible storm!

If it weren't for the casters' proper response, the battle would have been deadly and wounded. But even with the cooperation of the casters, the soldiers lost a scout and a warrior.

Not only that, but after that battle, at least ten soldiers chose to be discharged. Some of them used the money they had saved during their years of service to start a small business, and some of them went to the safer places in the central and southern parts of the Gold Coin Federation to buy land and become homesteaders. The shadow left by the horrible monster caused most of them to lay down their weapons forever, never to step into battle again.

Some of them later broke through the shadow in their hearts. For example, the leader of their expedition, "Ground Bear" Divor.

Devol is a very strong fighter. The block is at least 1.9 meters or more, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a big waist and a round waist. He had made a great contribution to that battle when he cut off the left ankle of the terrible monster with an axe, causing it to fall to the ground, which was the decisive factor in the victory. But he himself was badly wounded in the monster's counterattack, breaking four ribs. Almost died.

After retiring, he was depressed for a while, but eventually got back on his feet and re-entered the battlefield with his share of the loot, one of the monster's four battle axes. It's just that he didn't become a soldier again. Instead, he became an adventurer.

At the time, his nickname was "Bull's Head Battle Axe", which was later changed to "Earth Bear" as he gained experience in adventure.

This nickname is a testament to his qualifications, as he is particularly fond of venturing into underground caverns, and is considered a banner character among the adventurers of Rye Town. So when Parin was recruiting, the waiters of the Adventure Guild recommended him.

Among the other companions, the Ranger and the Priest were all recommended by him, and they were also familiar with frequent cave exploration.

Red, a seasoned ranger, is nicknamed "Three Arrows" because the average ranger can only shoot two arrows in a row, and he can shoot one more arrow.

Morton "Fire Hammer" is a follower of the Lord of Radiance, the main god of the Terrans, a priest with strong martial arts skills and good spells, and he is the second best master in this team after Divor.

The thief in this team is called Ralfael, and he is recommended by Rod. He is a very good thief, especially good at fighting. Compared to his peers who like to take something out of someone's pocket, or sneak into someone's home to rummage through the cabinets, what he is good at is sneaking into the back of the monsters and stabbing them with his beloved long dagger. This earned him the title of "backstab", and for combat thieves, being able to turn the thief's housekeeping skills into his own nickname shows how powerful he is.

But relatively speaking, Ravel is not so proficient in pickpocketing, reconnaissance and dismantling traps, which ordinary thieves are good at. So he didn't get along well, and most of the time he worked part-time as a warrior - he insisted that thieves were not killers, and he was unwilling to sell his hard-earned skills for money, and a backstabbing expert who refused to be a killer was obviously not too bright.

Rod recommended him to Parin, on the one hand, because he felt that the acquaintance was very reliable, and on the other hand, he wanted to give him a little bit. If he can use this incident to establish a good relationship with the Void Mask Church, no matter how down-and-out he is in the future, he will at least have a place to live.

Raffle was certainly not a bad man, and he could see Rod's concern needless to say. So he's been very positive for the past two days, and he's been firmly on Parin's side in something, as if he's being loyal.

So at this moment, he hurriedly said without waiting for Parin to speak: "I received the deposit, boss, if you want to move on, I will definitely accompany you to the end!"

Red rolled his eyes helplessly, feeling a little resentful in his heart.

To be honest, while the mage named Parin paid well, he really didn't want to go deeper into the cave if he had the choice.

The cave is so deep that no one has fully explored its condition until now. It's better here, and if you go deeper, God knows what you'll encounter!

He remembered that there had been adventurers who had escaped from the cave in disarray, claiming to have seen dragons in the depths of the cave!

Of course, he absolutely did not believe that there were dragons in this cave - Rye Town had been founded for hundreds of years, but no one had ever seen a trace of a dragon. Could it be that the dragon slept in the depths of this cave hundreds of years ago and hasn't woken up yet?

However, the terrifying four-armed minotaur corpse was seen by many people in the town. He asked himself, if he encountered such a monster, their team would definitely not be able to defeat it, and when the time came, no one dared to guarantee that they would encounter an accident and lose their lives.

Divol was much more than he was, and the veteran adventurer didn't take going deeper into the ground any of his mind, but looked sideways at Parin and gave his advice: "There is no danger in going forward, and at the pace of our travel, it will be at least two more days before we exceed the farthest distance I have ever explored." ”

Parin turned to Morton again, asking the priest for advice. The taciturn Morton didn't speak, just looked at Divor and smiled.

Clearly, he chose to trust the captain's vision.

"In that case, let's move on. So Parin also made up his mind.

Although His Majesty also said that the main thing in this trip is to see the situation on the frost and hail side, and his own side is only an auxiliary. But even if it is an assistant, if you don't do your best, how can you be worthy of Your Majesty's care!

He took out a lollipop and stuffed it into his mouth, giving Red, who was scouting at the front, a spell to protect against ranged attacks, and the team moved on.

"Why do you always like to eat sugar?" asked Divor, curiously, "for the past two days, I have seen that you have to eat two or three sticks almost every day—is this candy delicious?"

Parin smiled, took out another one and handed it to him, thought about it, and sent another one to the others.

Few people hate sweets, and although the dignified adventurer has a strange-shaped candy in his mouth, which slightly detracts from his majesty, there are no outsiders here, and Palin takes the lead, so everyone did not refuse, and put this round candy with a thin wooden rod in their mouths.

"Hmm!" Morton was the first to notice the mystery hidden in this candy, and couldn't help but exclaim, took out the candy in his mouth, and looked at it carefully.

"Is there anything wrong with this candy?" Divol wondered, "It tastes good, it's sweet, and I feel like my body is warming up all of a sudden." ”

"Life force!" Morton muttered, "it replenishes life force." ”

Rhett, who was still savoring, quickly took out the candy in his mouth, wrapped it in oiled paper again, and put it into the package.

What is the concept of "replenishing vitality"? This means that it can treat injuries, weakness and tiredness, and it can be a lifesaver at a critical moment!

He couldn't help but regret it a little, feeling sorry for the part of the candy he had just eaten.

Ravel looked sideways at Parin, "Boss, isn't this a bit of a waste?"

Parin smiled: "I'm not in good health, I have to eat this often, otherwise it will be easy to get tired and dizzy." ”

"It's not as simple as 'bad health', right?" Divol looked at him worriedly, "You need to eat this regularly to replenish your vitality, don't you really need to cultivate for a while?"

"No, no. Parin chuckled a few times and stepped forward again.

He has no soul, Sui Xiong didn't hide this from him, but he will never tell anyone else.

The teammates are all old rivers and lakes, and when they saw that he didn't want to say more, they didn't ask anymore, but silently put away their respective sweets and protected him in the middle.

This poor young man, who was so weak that he had to rely on this medicine to maintain his strength, was still toiling and running...... (To be continued.) )
