(Thank you for the "like mini" tips and evaluation votes!In addition, wzc1231 brother, I always remember your urging, and I'm rushing to ...... )
Sometimes guessing the truth can make things easier, but sometimes it can make things more complicated.
Like now, although Sophia's casual remark was closest to the truth, it only quieted the whole team.
A rare dual-class, and a double fourth-order spellcaster, it can be said that it is rare in the entire continent, but he appeared in the underground cave and became his own great enemy. What's even more terrifying is that this person is likely to be the number 23 person in a certain organization, so the strength of this organization ...... Even the thought of it makes you shudder!
"Maybe...... Does that number actually mean something else?" The priest girl spoke again, but this time it didn't seem so easy to accept.
“...... Can it be a pleasant upgrade!" Being targeted by such an enemy, Li Ang also felt a little depressed in his heart, and couldn't help but complain silently. However, he thought about it for a while, and felt that there should be another chance.
"It doesn't matter, the current situation is not as bad as everyone thinks. The young lord's words broke the silence and attracted everyone's attention.
"Actually, for us, this situation will take some chances. ”
"First of all, we can confirm one thing," Leon paused and looked at each of these companions who had been born and died together, sharing weal and woe, with a confident smile on his face.
"The size of this organization is really beyond our imagination. But think about it another way - if they are the Big Mac of the sea, then we are just a small fish, although they can be swallowed casually, but when the Big Mac has a target in his eyes, a small fish swimming around him does not matter, or as long as it does not appear in front of his eyes, it will not attract attention at all. ”
"This is our chance, and as long as the Big Mac's goal is not achieved, we are likely to be safe during this time. And we are all still young, with the potential to far surpass others, as long as there is time, nothing cannot be achieved, maybe in the near future, a small fish will grow into a giant, right?"
This passage made the eyes of the young people in front of Li Ang shine, and many of them involuntarily clenched the weapons in their hands and listened to the young leader's speech with a slightly rapid breath.
"Now let's talk about the enemy we just encountered, a strong man like him is equivalent to a sharp weapon in the hands of a giant, hiding in an underground cave with such an identity must have some kind of purpose, and we should not be the main target, but he has suffered a loss at our hands, in my judgment, he will definitely not be reconciled, which gives us a chance to take advantage of it!"
"Although he is very strong, we also have a lot of means, especially Master Kaka is our source of confidence! As long as we can kill this person by surprise and make us disappear from the sight of the Big Mac again, we will buy more time! So, move on, now our purpose is not only to confirm Red's life and death, but also to fight for our own future!"
In the end, Li Ang's tone gradually became a little impassioned, and even his own feelings began to rise, and the feelings of his companions had already been infected, sweeping away the previous heaviness and full of passion
Kaka stood at the end, one hand clutching the sparse fuzz on his chin, looking at the young men with inexplicable affection.
"Not to mention anything else, the fact that the stinky boy is inspiring is qualified, although there are still countless uncertainties in these words, but young people should be enthusiastic, as long as they have a goal, they will have no fear. ”
"It seems that I was kicked out like this before," the alchemist pondered, "It's been too long...... Besides, where will I remember such a boring thing!"
......
The group moved forward again, and the atmosphere gradually recovered, especially Sophia, who had been chattering and mobilizing everyone's feelings. This blonde girl was different from the others, she didn't seem to have any worries at all, but she simply felt that what Li Ang had just said was too handsome.
Erin slowly crossed the crowd and came to Leon's side, asking in a low voice, "Do you believe what you say?"
"Believe," Leon said muffled with a grin at her.
"Well," the girl smiled, "I believe it too, then...... I hope that we can do our best to become a giant on this continent under the leadership of my lord. ”
Li Ang was speechless, and the feelings that were still a little excited just now were immediately dissipated by Erin's words.
"I mean really," Erin continued, ignoring the change in Leon's expression, "I found that you have a quality in person, and it seems that after a long time in contact with you, you will gradually become like Sophia, who has a blind trust in you. ”
"So I hope you keep it up and don't let us down. With that, Erin turned around lightly and returned to the middle of the group.
"It's easy to say......" Li Ang found out that he was a little amused by Erin's words, and couldn't help but sigh, "You believe me, but who knows that I am also holding on." ”
It's a bit cheap, and the young people themselves know it, so they pick up the pace and start focusing on the task at hand – to make the way for the team.
By now, the path was no longer as gentle as before, but sloping downward at an angle of about thirty degrees, extending deeper into the ground. And since the battle just now, there has been no danger along the way, not even a single small creature, and the only sound of their conversation and footsteps is in the entire passage.
After a few minutes, Leon stopped, and for the first time there was a fork in the road in front of him, one to the left and one to the right.
"Which way?" asked Caterina as she walked up.
"Left," Leon said, gesturing his finger and leading into the slightly larger passage on the left.
The companions followed closely behind him, and Erin, though the same was true, could not help but be confused by Leon's choice without hesitation.
"Has he been here before?" thought the mage girl, "no, there's a map of here?"
After she thought of several possibilities and rejected them by herself, Erin had to give up her in-depth study of the issue and decided to put it under the category of "sue you when you come back".
However, the poor girl never imagined that Leon's judgment was only based on an ancient "rule" in memory - male left and female right.
In fact, anyone who has had similar experience walking the maze knows that when you encounter the first fork, there is no reference in the absence of a hint, so it is good to choose one of them, and when there are more and more roads shown on the map, you can judge the general location of the target.
Li Ang also did the same, as for the choice of "male left, female right", it is just a personal habit.
The path to the left seemed to be steeper, but after a dozen minutes it began to flatten out again, and from the direction on the map, it seemed to be approaching the entrance of another mercenary group.
Soon, another fork in the road arrived, and this time Leon chose the right side, because it was now roughly judged that the right path should be towards the center. The following road gradually appeared one fork after another, and sometimes within a hundred steps, you would see two or three passages in front of you, and the darkness inside was hidden beyond the range of the torches, as if countless devouring monsters were hidden.
Most of the members of the group are young girls, and there are even two "underage" elves, although they can be shown to be very heroic in battle, but there is still a trace of hesitation in the face of such unknown darkness and the countless forks in the road that have passed. However, Leon always walked directly into one of the paths as if nothing happened, and this firm and confident momentum gave them a lot of courage.
In fact, Li Ang is not indifferent, the reason why he is expressionless is just because he is too busy.
First of all, when you go to the fork, you have to perceive the situation inside in advance, and you have to observe the places you have already walked on the map, as well as those unknown places that are still shrouded in darkness, and you have to observe the surroundings at all times, and the "scrutiny" talent that Guò has always maintained to observe whether there are any deadly traps, is too busy to even speak.
And the more Leon behaved like this, the more confident his companions had in him—if he wasn't sure, who would go on without even discussing?
However, sometimes they would find that they had returned to the distance after a few forks in the road, and Erin had questioned this, but Leon didn't even look back, just made a gesture of unknown meaning and said, "Trust me, that's right!"
"Alright, alright," the mage girl thought to herself, "since I chose to believe you, I have to see the final result, right?"
No matter what his companions thought, Li Ang felt more and more relaxed as he walked, and now he had almost walked the left half of the entire area, and most of the winding passages on the map were presented in front of him, as for the way back, it was just a "trip" to some more difficult to confirm locations, so as to eliminate the black curtain covering it, and let the pathway be displayed on the map.
"Almost...... the young lord finally stood at a chosen fork in the road, and after a long day of research, he thought that the passage in front of him might eventually reach the center of the triangle surrounded by three entrances, and at the least could lead to the passage where Red and the others came down.
"Let's go and wait," said Leon, and when all his companions had done as they were told, he dug a large chunk of the nearby soil with his axe and threw it far into the path.
After he finished this inexplicable action, he also flashed to the side, and then a dull "whoosh" sound sounded in the passageway, which lasted for about ten seconds, and then a foul smell wafted out of it.
"Wait a minute," Leon said, "It looks like it's a strong acid trap, and it will take at least a few minutes for the smell and liquid to get rid of it." ”
After saying that, he immediately raised a finger and said to Erin, "I'll ask later!"
The mage girl rolled her eyes and said in her heart: "There are more and more secrets in you, and I will soon lose my curiosity if I continue like this!"
