Adventurer...... Adventurer is not a compliment. It refers to people who are far from their homeland, unable to survive in peace, and who need 'adventure' to survive—they are dangerous elements that the lord fears, and an element of instability that makes officials frown.

They are brute force and courage for their survival, for money and excitement, and they are freaks who could have had a better choice of being soldiers and guards, but they have chosen such a path that is feared and discriminated against.

Adventurers, in the end, are nothing more than a group of barely legal robbers, madmen who do what other people who yearn for a quiet life are unwilling to do and dare not do.

Qingchao is an adventurer and takes pride in it.

His arduous journeys, thrilling battles, and the wealth and satisfaction of his adventures are the things that support him and his fellow adventurers to walk the continent and make adventurers pop up one after another.

And now, in the ice abyss of ancient ruins, fight against a group of never-before-seen aberrant monsters and monster giant worms...... Isn't it a grand adventure?

The ape beast had already rushed in front of him, and Qing Chao could already smell the fishy stench and a strange sweet fragrance in the other party's mouth, he didn't think much about it, and the sword light flashed and he had already shot.

Ordinary sword slash, the ape's neck and left shoulder were cut like soft linen, and Qingchao did not stop, he took a step forward, and a semi-circular arc with water light slashed through the atmosphere, and the three ape beasts that were still running did not have time to raise their claws to pounce, and their body and blood were struck away by the residual force of the sword.

The Waverider, or 'Waverider', is the true form of the Navy used by the Whalesong Cliff Army, and although it has begun to spread across the continent in recent decades, its strength has not been eliminated, and it has been adopted by many naval crews and adventurers.

In the battle of the three seas in the past, in the face of the army of sea devils and insects swept like a flood, it was the five thousand wave patrollers who swung their swords together under the leadership of the leader, and cut out the sword light that made the tsunami retreat, helping the encircled vanguard fleet to break through the encirclement and bring the key information of the sea devil nest master.

When he was a child, he always heard his father tell about the great battle, and he heard his retired father proudly point to the scar and badge on his chest, saying that he was one of the 5,000 wavers who wielded a sword at that time.

My father always said that he hoped that he could also become a revered swordsman of the Whale Song Cliff, and become a man who could not stop the sea.

His father taught him to swing a sword, taught him to walk, taught him to sense the breath of the sea, taught him the art of fighting monsters and people, and excitedly picked him up after every progress he made, shaving his face with a stiff beard.

But that father died.

Because of the deterioration of the injuries after the war, because there was no good enough medicine, because the soldiers' salaries were not paid, and because there were too many wounded soldiers who retired after the Battle of the Three Seas, the Whale Song Cliff could no longer send enough Mara, so that those soldiers who should have received their salaries could get the compensation they deserved.

It's just three hundred mara, it's just ninety thalers, it's just ......

A bottle of medicine.

- Why did I become an ascension and drain all my family's savings?

- Why don't you sell the sword, I don't deserve such a good sword at all!

- Why...... And have such high expectations of me?

Qing Chao's sword swung faster, and those ape beasts with only brute strength were as ridiculous as children in front of him, and he just waved his sword casually, and he was already an ape's head.

The strength of the first energy level was indeed not worth mentioning in front of the real powerhouses, but in front of these aberrant beasts, it was already an insurmountable high wall.

With Qingchao as the center, the offensive of the aberrant ape beast is not only slowing down, but even regressing - starting with his forward pressure, many ape beasts have retreated, because if they do not retreat, what awaits them is a swift and merciless death.

At this moment, the sea-descendant sword in his hand shook the ice and snow in the atmosphere, because ice was only a change in the nature of water quality.

As long as he can reach the second energy level and become a 'Tidal Swordsman', it will not only be the physical wind and snow, but even the misty fog and cold air will become his sword light.

It's just that...... That's all......

But it's not enough.

There were thousands of apes, which was enough to start a war, and the moths sensed the extra conspicuous target of the green tide and began to attack with icicle hail - for a moment, the swordsman had to restrain his sword and slash the apemon in favor of the flying ice arrows.

He is very skilled, and the waveriders in the army do not need these skills, but the waveriders who act alone and are not in the army, but who venture alone, have given up the technique that can work together to cut the wave-breaking sword qi, and instead focus on the various combat skills of one-person adventure.

But how can one man stop them all? What's more, this time the speed of the moth is much faster than the last time, other fronts are also fighting, and the team members who went to find other exits have not yet returned, and now Qingchao is really just fighting alone.

So, it wasn't negligence, but an ice pick that really couldn't be stopped, piercing his thigh and waist and abdomen, causing the swordsman to snort and have to stop in place.

He swung his sword again, only to see two snow-white sword lights break through the air, spanning more than ten meters, and the eight ape beasts that wanted to cross the swordsman were simply cut into two pieces, and the two moths that emitted the icicles also broke off in response, bursting and falling - the patrol wave man can cut out such a long-distance killing sword qi even in the sea, this is no longer the strength that the first energy level should have, but the strength that is close to the peak!

Among all the people present, no one's strength could be compared to Qingchao.

Boom Boom!

The sound of the artillery had begun to whistle again, and because of the inducement of the green tide, a large number of moths gathered together to attack him, so they became the target of subsequent artillery fire - more than twenty adult frost moths were shattered by the artillery, turning into a flying slurry and debris.

Not a small success—but everyone knows that they are just accumulating strength with the help of the fleet, and these monsters are meant to be sent to their deaths, and then transformed by feeding their dead kind.

When the transformation of a truly sufficient number of moths is completed, no matter how fierce the artillery is, it will be overwhelmed by these monsters.

Everyone saw this, but they could only reload their ammunition in desperation, and sent people to send the battered Qingchao back to their positions.

"Swordsman, you're too strong, if you hadn't taken the risk of gathering those big fluttering moths together, we would have been frozen by the blizzard they set off!"

It was an elven pirate from Nai'an, with an accent tinged with the accent of the Heavenly Palace—a group of pirates who had been completely convinced by Qingchao in several attacks and defenses.

It is also Qingchao's own plan to use himself as bait to catch those really dangerous moths.

"Skee...... There weren't enough of them, there were already more than fifty frost moths before, and two-fifths of them had been wiped out......"

On the way back to be resettled, Qingchao spat out blood, still a little dissatisfied: "It would be nice if I could kill a few more." ”

Breathing, relieving his breath, Qingchao whispered: "While the number of frost moths is decreasing now, you guys go quickly...... The position here is no longer defensible...... The people who went to look for the exit haven't come back yet, and they don't know if they escaped or haven't found it, so they can't wait now......"

"Leave me here, I can fight for a while and hold off a little monster...... If you survive, send some money to my family. ”

Both the pirates and the crews of the exploration ships could only remain silent...... Qingchao can see it, why can't they see it? It's just that this reality is too desperate, and they don't know what to do after leaving the position.

"There's always a way." They can only repeat it like this.

And Qingchao closed his eyes and slowly recovered his strength.

Until he heard the whistling of a cannonball tearing through the air.

Opening his eyes, the swordsman saw that a blue-white streamer flashed from mid-air, and a white figure, holding a black iron sword, slashed forward, and the blue-blue wave void form drew an arc of light forward with the surge of essentia.

"It's ......"

When he landed, his eyes widened, and he watched incredulously as Ian came out of nowhere, one person and one sword, with a wave-like sword light, killing into the swarm.

"This is, the Sword of Wave Destruction?!"

When Qingchao saw it, Ian slashed out with a sword, and the power of the fairy wings stirred up the frost and cold wind, turning into a big wave in the frozen ground.

Where the sword light passed, the flesh and blood of the ape beasts flew one after another, and the slurry of the demon insects splashed everywhere.

It's like a sword light that separates the sea from the abyss, but the sea here is not a real tide, but a colony of demon insects and aberrant beasts, centered on the blue sword light, the monsters have avoided and retreated—not because of fear, but because of Ian's power that forced them to fall.

Even, because Ian's speed was so fast, sometimes it looked like he had been past the herd for a long time, and the blood waves and slurry exploded.

A gap immediately appeared in the team of the aberrant ape, and the moths in the sky took the initiative to turn their heads and retreat - they directly gave up this wave of attack, preparing to accumulate another wave of strength.

The hordes of monsters retreated.

The boy put away his sword, turned around, and walked towards the position—the surviving crew of the exploration ship cheered, the pirates looked complicated, but a few applauded.

It didn't take long for Ian to be in front of Qingchao.

"Thanks to you, otherwise, I am afraid that none of these people present will survive."

He stretched out his hand and pressed it against the wound that had been frozen hard, and the water system essentia perfusion, so that Qingchao's injury gradually improved—but because the ice pick penetrated his internal organs, the swordsman still did not get out of the endangered state.

"For myself."

Because of the gradual healing of the wound, the swordsman felt far more intense pain than before, and he gasped, and he clearly sensed the passage of his life.

Qing Chao raised his head and looked at Ian, he raised his hand with a wry smile, and raised the long sword he clenched: "That sword just now...... It's really amazing. ”

"I can't do it, this sword will be given to you...... If you can go back alive, remember to ask the Ellen family to give me more pensions......"

"Confess the aftermath so early?"

And Ian just glanced at the swordsman with the eyes of a caring fool, and then shook his head: "Forget that I am an alchemist, and the Eren family sells potions?" ”

"You can live, don't talk nonsense, if you want money, just go home and give it yourself."

He took out a regeneration potion with a needle from his waist bag and stuffed it into the hand of the stunned sea-descendant swordsman: "After the injection, take care of your injuries, the newly regenerated internal organs will be a little fragile, but it is enough for you to exert the strength of the first energy level." ”

The young man said this, he stood up and praised from the bottom of his heart: "The sword qi just now is very powerful, I can't cut it - don't see that my sword just now is powerful, it depends on inheritance and weapons." ”

"You don't need to underestimate yourself, you're really strong, you won't die here."

Qingchao didn't hear Ian's words clearly.

Because he just stared at the potion in his hand in a daze.

An elite-grade bottle worth two or three hundred thalers, a regenerative potion that can regenerate internal organs.

As long as my father had such a bottle of regeneration potion back then...... No, half a bottle.

As long as he has half a bottle, he will not die, and he will even be able to heal all the dark wounds...... He didn't have to retire at all, and he didn't have to become an adventurer in order to repay the cost of those medicines, to be born and die, and to earn those dangerous blood money.

A glorious battle of the three seas could not allow a veteran to be paid a family after shedding blood, but an adventure that originated from a despicable murder among a noble relative could easily obtain such a potion.

Holding this regeneration potion, Qingchao wanted to cry, but couldn't do it because of the cold wind.

"Haha...... Hahahaha!! ”

Because of such an ironic fate, the man cried and laughed, but he couldn't help it.
