Chapter 48: Trial Strategy

In the dark hall, the flames were blazing on a pile of dry vines, and a large group of people sat around the fire, eating and whispering to the people around them.

At this time, Mino and Phil were in this pile of people, gnawing on unpalatable dry food like everyone else.

Phil complained to Mino for a long time at first, until he told him that he would also come and prepare food for him for a maximum of two people, and he immediately shut up.

What are you kidding, there are so few good things, if you show off in front of so many people, one person will share a little, and there will be no more, so it's better to sneak around and enjoy it.

Naturally, Mino thought the same thing, so even if the feeling of eating dry food in cold water made him quite uncomfortable, he forced himself to endure it, and talked to Tom next to him while gnawing.

As the first person to see each other in the underground labyrinth, and they have been together for a while, the relationship between Mino and Tom is not bad, especially Mino's experience after the other party is quite curious, so Tom talks about Mino, and the two of them talk happily.

From Tom's mouth, Mino finally learned that after the demons attacked that day, everyone began to flee frantically, and the outermost people were the same as Mino, and they ran away first.

Tom was more unlucky, he was standing in the middle at the time, and was chased by the demon with a small number of people, he thought he was going to die, but at first he found that the demon was going to die, and he actually took out a life-saving group random teleportation scroll, and teleported everyone away, so that Tom escaped with him.

Listening to Tom say this, Mino finally understood why he didn't see a single corpse when he went back later, and then thinking about what Phil told him about the tragic situation he saw, Mino couldn't help but sigh:

"You're also lucky enough to be able to come across something as rare as a group random teleportation scroll, if you didn't have that thing, I'm afraid you would all be folded there. ”

Tom agreed, and nodded with concern:

"But isn't it, the four of us were directly teleported to the vicinity of the temple area, and all of them survived, but many of the others died under the ambush of the demon, and now these sixty or so people should be all the people in this underground labyrinth, and the others, I'm afraid that if you get rid of one or two who haven't touched the road signs, I'm afraid they all died in the hands of the demons." ”

Before Mino's arrival, more than forty people had gathered here, and in the half day that Mino's rest after that, a dozen or so people came one after another, making a total of sixty-three.

According to the information provided by these people, thirty-seven people have been confirmed dead, that is, out of the one hundred and six people who participated in the Templar Trial this time, only six people are still alive at most, excluding everyone gathered here.

The fifteen-day Templar Trial was now just over a third, and the death toll had already exceeded the previous maximum, and the rest of the people didn't know how many would die in the next few days, which really made Mino shudder.

"Everyone, be quiet, I have something to say to you here. ”

Just as Mino and Tom were sighing at the death toll, a strong man in armor suddenly walked up to the fire, clapped his hands and said loudly.

The man who came forward, named Clariel, was the one who, like Mino, had been given special permission to participate in the trials.

The difference is that this third-year student who didn't participate because he was delayed in the second grade and has only come to participate in the trial now, his strength is as high as the peak of the third level, and there is only a line between him and the fourth level.

Moreover, he has participated in a foreign aid mission and has been affirmed by Elson for his command ability, which shows his leadership skills.

The strongest, the leader is outstanding, and he is one of the first to arrive at the temple, and in summary, Clarel is promoted by everyone as everyone's leader, so everyone still attaches great importance to his speech.

Seeing that everyone had stopped talking and turned their eyes to it, Clarel nodded in satisfaction and began to speak.

"Everyone present was able to arrive at the temple area and sit here, except for a few lucky people, they must have gone through more than one hard battle, and the strength of the demons should have been understood. ”

Speaking of the lucky ones, Clariel's eyes clearly glanced this way, and it was clear that he was talking about Tom and them.

"The demons killed a third of us through an ambush, what does this mean, I think everyone should also understand, it can be said that our next time will be very difficult, and even when the temple is finally reopened and besieged, the first total destruction of the Templar Trial, I think everyone should not be able to accept such an outcome. ”

Hearing this, everyone's eyes were on Yiling, and it was clear that the future that Claire had depicted made them feel fear.

"So we can't stay here and die!" I think that in the coming time, we should take the initiative and hunt down the demons while they are still wandering outside, trying to reduce their numbers, so that when the temple finally reopens, we can easily withstand all the demon sieges. ”

"After all, although the demons can come through the rift in a steady stream, the number of demons that come in a certain period of time is always limited, and if we all want to get a good result after we go back, the number of demons killed is also quite important. ”

At this, Clarell smiled slyly, and his voice was lowered a little.

"I don't think you want to be laughed at by other people because of the number of demons you kill when you go back after you fight here and die. ”

"Of course not!" replied in a loud voice.

What's more, he scolded and shouted: "How is it possible, this is the glory of my sister's daughter, who dares, who is in a hurry to erase me!"

After speaking, everyone burst into laughter, and the originally quiet scene suddenly became noisy again.

Of course, everyone still expressed their approval of Clarrell in their own ways.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Clarel explained his plan to everyone.

First of all, the temple area, as a base that everyone must hold, at least a third of the people must be left here every day, otherwise if it is occupied by the demons unknowingly, and forced to rely on the Templars to come down to answer before they can go back, then no matter how many demons you kill in this temple trial, it will be considered a failure.

Since this task is relatively disadvantageous, everyone takes turns to do it, and it is fair to divide it into three groups of shifts.

Then there's the issue of hunting demons, and since demons are still used to acting in teams, the one-man roaming mode of the predecessors is not advisable.

But if too many people act together, it is very likely to arouse the vigilance of the demons, and if they attract the siege of the demons in advance, it will be more than worth the loss.

So after some summing, in the end, it was decided to act in pairs, at least if they were surrounded, they could find a way to get one person to come out and ask for help.

Hearing this arrangement, Mino and Phil invariably turned their eyes to each other, glanced at each other, and everything was silent.

Tom originally wanted to find Mino to form a team, but before he could speak, he was pulled away by a person, and Mino looked at it and seemed to be the rich man who was said to have used the group random teleportation scroll.

In addition to garrisoning the base and hunting demons freely, Clarrell has also released two side quests, all of which are voluntary, but both have additional benefits.

One is to go to the water source and bring the water back with utensils, after all, everyone is either stationed in the temple or hunting demons with all their might, and it is impossible to take the benefits of this task like the predecessors, that is, to be able to get a bottle of healing potion here here in Clarell for a day.

Of course, this task also has disadvantages, one is that the volume of water is very large, and it is very troublesome to transport, and the other is that the water source is easy to attract underground creatures, so the probability of a large number of demons appearing is also relatively increased.

Obtaining a large amount of water surrounded by a large group of demons is not a low risk to complete this task, but if it is not low, it is not worth the invaluable medicine in the underground labyrinth that Clarell provides.

Mino's space equipment is also space, and one of the two major problems of taking water can be easily solved, but in the end, Minoan and Phil combined, but they still gave up this task, for no other reason, just strength.

Without the Blue Moon, Mino's previous light combat method can only be changed to a large-open and close-out attack-type combat method, although the power may not be reduced much, but it will do more harm than good to this kind of task that requires latent combat capabilities.

And Mino lost a lot of blood before, although he took medicine, but he still hasn't eased up, his strength is only seventy percent at most, and Phil is the same, although there is medicine, but the dark injury of muscle strain is not so easy, and his strength is only eight percent of the previous one.

If the strength of the original two people was considered superior in this underground labyrinth, now I am afraid that they can only be ranked in the middle, and the two people are not short of medicine, the task reward is meaningless, and it is not worth risking for this.

So they ended up choosing another task, food gathering.

Mino's strength has decreased, and the difficulty of hunting demons has naturally increased a lot, and if they fight fiercely, the injuries of the two will definitely heal more slowly, so teaming up to hunt or something can only be said later.

However, it was too difficult for the two of them to stay on duty in the temple with nothing to do, so they finally chose another task, food gathering.

There were more than sixty people on this side of the temple, many of whom had lost or defaced their food in the battle before they came, and now they were completely dependent on everyone to divide the money equally, but this was not a long-term solution, so in the end, everyone discussed it and decided to find someone to collect food alone.

Collecting food is different from fetching water, as long as you are careful to dodge, you may not even have a fight with demons, and it is not boring, so Mino, after discussion, they chose to take this task.
