Chapter Fifty-Three: Red and Cold
"Stealth Assassination" allows the user to become optically invisible, but the sound will still be there.
A person cannot be in a state of absolute silence under any circumstances, and there are subtle sounds such as the wind blowing through the body or the friction between clothes when walking, the heart that does not stop beating, etc.
Therefore, even if Li Qiuzhi is in a state of stealth, he is tiptoeing when he walks around, trying to minimize the possibility of being discovered, so he will not be so unlucky to meet such a powerful strong person.
Bennett didn't follow him.
Everyone was far away from the location where the sound of conversation came from, and Li Qiuzhi took dozens of seconds to get closer.
Exiting the passageway that is flanked by small campfire racks, the walls on both sides become bar-like gates, similar in appearance to the iron gates that were opened after defeating the Relic Hunters.
Through the gap in the bar, you can see that it is only a large empty room.
"Humans are such an idiot, a little trick will make them all run into the secret realm, Zanji."
The sound of conversation continued, and the use of the word "human" and the strange texture of the sinister voice seemed to suggest that the owner might not be human.
And listening to the meaning of this, isn't this secret realm really like what little Amy said casually, and there is some conspiracy that can't be achieved?
Li Qiuzhi did not approach the iron-barred gate to avoid accidentally making a noise when his clothes touched it, and he walked in the middle of the aisle with natural movements and light steps.
After a while, he saw a large room with the iron door opened, and Li Qiuzhi was slightly surprised when he looked at the scene inside.
It's not a human being who is talking, it's an abyss mage!
This is a sapient monster from the Abyss, and there is also a notorious evil organization behind it - the Abyss Order.
In the room, there were two abyssal mages, one fire and one ice, with two long ears on their heads, thin arms and thin legs, wearing plush wide-sleeved robes on their weak bodies, and holding magic staff in their hands.
In addition to this, there are many hilichurls around them.
There were two hilichurl thugs with axes, two hilichurl shamans with rudimentary staffs, and seven or eight small hilichurls, some with sticks and some with repeaters.
It's like a small monster lair!
Li Qiuzhi was shocked and a little eager at the same time, if they were all knocked down, it would be a bunch of experience points.
But it was just a matter of thinking, and he didn't dare to be impulsive.
The Abyss Mage has a lost ancient saying that can harness elemental power, and when he opens the elemental shield, he can only be beaten by it before breaking it.
If it was just that, after all, they hadn't opened the elemental shield at this time, and Li Qiuzhi could easily kill one of them with the advantage of stealth, after all, the body of the abyss mage was really very weak.
But doing so will inevitably alarm another abyss mage and a group of monsters, and after the attack, Li Qiuzhi will automatically remove the secret magic stealth.
At that time, it was inevitable to be beaten.
"Humans are so greedy and can't recognize their own stupidity, they think it takes a long time to find the materials to break the seal, but they never think that we are behind the scenes to use the staff!"
It was a red fluffy Fire Abyss mage who spoke, and although they couldn't tell anything from their mask-like faces, they must still be proud in their hearts.
According to these two abyssal mages, it seems that the reason why those treasure hoarders found the secret realm was also their conspiracy?
It's really cunning. Li Qiuzhi sighed slightly.
In that case, why did they spend so much time exposing the secret realm reasonably to attract so many people?
Li Qiuzhi wanted to continue listening, but unfortunately they only cared about laughing at human beings and showing how smart they were, and they didn't talk about the secrets.
It's a pity that the stealth is only ten minutes, and it's almost over, which is already very powerful, and based on the invisibility time of the debt handler Christie, it is probably estimated that their inspector general may not have such a deep grasp.
Because there was still time left to retreat, Li Qiuzhi could only return first.
When he left the iron gate and returned to the brick wall passage with small bonfire stands on both sides, the time for stealth stealth was up, and Li Qiuzhi automatically appeared.
Bennett, Fischl, and Oz had apparently noticed him, too.
So everyone converged, and Li Qiuzhi informed everyone of the information he had learned.
"Is the secret realm actually a conspiracy of the Abyss Order?" Bennett said with some surprise.
"Hmph, this princess has already seen everything!"
Fischl tiptoed his left leg wrapped in suspender over-the-knee black stockings slightly to the right, and then said in a handsome pose while covering his big dream sin eyes, which had been sealed with a black blindfold.
"Miss is right." Nightcrow Oz, a member of Her Royal Highness, said.
"Anyway, let's go back first, report to President Cyrus and them, and then bring them over to destroy these monsters!"
Li Qiuzhi thought about it carefully, and then said his own suggestion.
At this time, it is better to hold a steady hand, after all, there are so many monsters.
"Your Excellency Li Qiuzhi, I don't think I need to retreat." Oz flapped his wings and shook his head.
"Oh?" Li Qiuzhi looked slightly surprised.
Fischl clasped her hands to her chest, and the thin black slightly transparent long gloves had pale gold patterns on them, and she closed her bright green pupils and said confidently and calmly:
"O my squire, warrior of the Pure Land of the Night!
"It seems that the performance of this princess in the face of the relic hunter has made you underestimate the prestige of the conviction."
Dark's Dependent, Night Raven Oz, continued to speak for Fischl:
"After all, those hilichurls are not steel bodies, Miss and I can solve it in a coordinated manner, and those two abyss mages must be handed over to the two warriors."
"I've encountered an abyss mage with the ice element before, and I can't resist it if I knock it off with the fire element, if it's a fire abyss mage, then I can't do anything."
Bennett touched the back of his head and said modestly.
Generally speaking, the main way to deal with elemental shields is to use elements that are different from shields to react with each other to consume them.
Bennett's mastery of the fire elemental power can melt and react with the ice elemental shield, and it is particularly efficient to break the shield, but there is nothing he can do about the shield that is also a fire elemental.
After listening to everyone's words, Li Qiuzhi found that he was indeed a little conservative.
If Fischl and Oz can deal with the hilichurls, and Bennett can deal with the Ice Abyss Mage, the remaining Fire Abyss Mage doesn't have the ability to break its shield himself, but he can use stealth stealth to kill it before it can open it.
And then there's still room to help Fischl and them, and hey, Oz's idea is completely feasible!
Li Qiuzhi's eyes lit up slightly.
He didn't doubt the strength of Fischl and Bennett, after all, the Vision holders were not necessarily strong, but they were already veteran adventurers.
Even if Li Qiuzhi's physique is not bad, but he is not steel, he will definitely not be able to withstand a few elemental attacks.
The same is true of those monsters, it seems that it is the strong appearance of the previous relic hunter that left a deep impression on Li Qiuzhi, causing him to look at other monsters from the same perspective.
