Chapter 33: The Prey and the Hunter

"We're being targeted?"

Hearing Melly's serious words, Amed asked suspiciously.

At this time, the two people who had been rescued by Micah had already left here, and they were sitting in the corner of a certain rock chamber, and the three of Micah were talking to each other.

"I found this from where those two people were before."

Throwing the small cloth bag she picked up to the ground, Melly said with a look of disgust.

"It stinks!"

Amed couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"It's a trap prop."

For this small step bag, Micah still knows.

This is a taunt trap item, and it is usually used by adventurers who are confident in their skills, as a way to trigger a small monster feast and improve the efficiency of hunting.

Of course, there are also those who plan to kill people who use it regularly.

"It's the guys we met before."

Recalling the unscrupulous look in each other's eyes when they met in the passage before, Micah knew that the other party might have been eyeing the three of them since then.

Whether it's because of the beautiful Amed and Melly around them, or because of the temporary appearance of the three of them, their plan failed.

I'm afraid these guys will find the three of them to stop the loss.

At the same time, Micah also figured out Melly's previous behavior.

When Micah went to save someone, Melly let Amed hide on the side of the passage without revealing her figure, presumably this should be an arrangement made for the other party.

"That's right."

Stretching out her finger, Melly gestured earnestly.

"At that time, I blocked the door of the passage alone, so that those guys did not know what was going on here, judging from the methods used by the other party, the other party was very cautious and should not directly clash with us."

"Of course, just in case, it is very important to hide Amid."

"In this way, the other party's judgment of our strength will be wrong, and when they want to ambush us in the future, this error will kill them."

"Bang Bang!"

After listening to Melly's analysis, both Micah and Amide couldn't help but applaud.

"It's grown a lot, Melly."

"That's right, it's getting more and more like a military advisor!"

"Really?"

Hearing Micah and Amide's praise, Melly laughed, but the composure on her face could no longer be maintained.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing that Melly broke the gong in a second, Micah and Amed couldn't help but laugh.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Hearing the laughter of the two, Mei Li quickly coughed a few times, and then changed the subject: "Don't laugh, we are discussing an important topic!" How can we prepare for a possible future surprise attack by the other side? ”

"Why be on guard?"

The smile on his face quickly faded, and Micah asked solemnly.

"Of course you have to be on guard, otherwise you ......"

Looking at Michael's serious expression, Merry's voice that was originally excited by Michael's rhetorical question gradually became smaller.

"And what do you mean?"

"As the saying goes, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves, as the days go by, there will always be a time for slackness. Therefore, we must take the initiative to eradicate the scourge. ”

Feeling the killing intent in Micah's words, both Amed and Melly trembled.

Although these days, they have killed countless monsters, but they have never thought of killing.

But soon, Amed came to her senses from the shock, and said earnestly to Micah's support: "The place where they are is a passage connecting the two floors, and there are often people coming and going, and it is difficult to erase the traces." ”

"Then lead them into the corner."

Although it was a little slower, Melly, who had also recovered from it, continued to give advice.

As she spoke, Melly laid out her rough plan.

"The other party should be looking for us now, waiting for us to take the initiative to appear, and then reveal the idea of training when fighting monsters, and gradually guide them to this corner."

"Where to lead?"

Laying the upper map she had purchased from the guild on the ground, Melly thought for a moment and then chose one corner as the target, and two or three corners as alternatives.

After thousands of years of exploration, the maps sold by the guild are extremely standard.

After increasing layer by layer, the entire floor area here is not small by the ninth floor, but the vast majority of adventurers will only follow the nearest passage drawn on the map to the next floor.

Even adventurers who stay on the ninth floor to hunt will wander around the main route, which is conducive to loitering, after all, it takes time for a monster somewhere to be reborn after death, and no one will crouch in place and wait.

As for those corners, almost no one will go there.

And once there are people there, most of them are people who are confident in their own strength and use props to attract other monsters to increase their hunting efficiency.

Such people are generally worried about influencing or being influenced by others, so they choose to use bait in corners where there are almost no people.

That is, to prevent the appearance of such a person from causing the plan to fail, Melly chose a few more alternatives.

"Then it's decided."

After this matter was decided, looking at Amed and Melly, who were a little silent, Micah seriously comforted.

"It's a bit hypocritical to say that, but you don't have to think about it, the people we're going to kill are heinous guys, and if we hadn't shown us, those two would have died here today."

"And it can be seen from their methods that they are veterans, which shows how many people have died at their hands before, so don't think about it."

"Don't worry, we won't be out of the question."

Looking at Micah's palm, Amed shook his head and said.

"That's right, this was prepared long before I became an adventurer."

Also stretched out her hand to hold the palms of the two, Melly said seriously: "No matter what choice you make, we will go side by side." ”

"After all, we're companions!"

The palms of the three of them clasped tightly together, feeling this trust, and the tension in Micah's heart about being about to kill gradually relaxed.

After all, it was the first time he had fought like this.

"Then let's start preparing for our operation."

...

After some detailed planning, the three Micah disguised themselves as if they had just gone through a fight and arrived at the main road area leading to the next floor.

Here, as expected, they encountered prying eyes again.

In this way, according to the plan, the three of Micah kept looking for monsters to fight, and revealed the idea of cultivation to the peepers through loud conspiracy.

He then led them to the rock chamber in the corner.

After cleaning up the monsters in the rock chamber, the three of Micah collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.

Physical exhaustion is not a disguise for the Michael.

In the face of these veterans, they acting newcomers can't fool them.

Therefore, at this time, the three of Micah were really exhausted.

Sure enough, as the three of Micah gasped, the seven sturdy figures slowly walked out of the passage and appeared in Micah's eyes.

"It really didn't take any effort to get there, and I actually got into a dead end by myself."

"Boss, it's so hidden here, we might be able to cool it off first."

"That's what I think too."

As if the three had already been sentenced to death, the seven people didn't care about the reaction of the three Micah at all, and discussed what to do with the three of them next.

But they had no idea who was the hunter and who was the prey in this hunt.

The first to strike was Amide.

Standing the spear in front of her eyes, she began to chant magically.

"Drops of healing, tears of light, eternal sanctuary, call for light to play here. The melody of three hundred and sixty and five, the healing calendar will save all things. ”

"Then come, destroy evil. Bury the wounds, bury the sick, send the curse to the other side, send the cardinal of light. In the name of the gods - healed by me. ”

"It's magic, get back!"

Looking at the chanting Amide, the seven quickly withdrew out.

"Dia Flattel!"

"Where to run!"

"Ignite it, use this wheel of flame to drive!"

Recovering his injuries and strength through Amide's magic, Micah drew his sword and flew past everyone present in the flames, blocking the exit of the rock chamber first.

"Isn't it going to be refreshing? Come on! ”

The killing intent in his eyes continued to flow out, and Micah smiled coldly.
