Chapter 158 When the Maze Killer meets the Maze Killer(1/2)
The second floor of the prison...
"Bauer, be careful..."
With an angry scolding, Amazon pulled out a javelin from his body and threw it with all his strength.
"Woo~~"
With a whistling sound that broke through the air, the javelin accurately inserted into the back of a monster. The huge force caused the entire javelin to penetrate its chest. This was a hideous, ugly black-brown pollution monster (crippled monster).
(a third-order binary body), it let out a dirty cry of pain, raised its horns like a crocodile's mouth, and then fell to the ground with a crash, making no more noise.
"Phew, saved, Nicole Yardi, you saved my life again."
The assassin who was almost bitten from behind by the pollution monster just now, that is, Bauer, looked at his low health and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said.
"It's good to know. From now on, you have to risk your life to protect me."
The tall Amazon watched the javelin he threw slowly disappearing into the air. He squinted his eyes and said distressedly. The javelin is a precious item that is missing one piece. Normally, Nicole Yardi is reluctant to even use it as a melee weapon.
However, if it can save one's companion's life, it will be worth it.
"Haha, Baoer, you have to do some calculations when you go back. How many times do you owe everyone now? Maybe you can count until tomorrow!"
Two figures slowly walked over from the side, and the one who spoke was a mage.
"Perhaps you need a good nanny, what about it? Have you made up your mind to sign a contract with a mercenary..."
The paladin next to him also chuckled.
"Asshole, you don't need to say anything. Just watch. One day, you will shed tears of gratitude for me, the great Lord Power." The assassin became angry.
"Oh, I'm really looking forward to it! We are full of tears now. We are just waiting for your performance."
The other three people looked at Bauer with smiles.
This is a standard team consisting of four people, assassin, mage, paladin, and Amazon. If a necromancer or barbarian can be added in the future, it may become a very powerful combination.
"However, it must have been too much this time. If I hadn't run so fast, I would have been eaten by them for dinner."
Bauer saw that the three of them had formed a united front, and the situation was not good. He quickly changed the subject and focused on the eight pollution monsters, four bone archers, and two bone mages on the ground.
"There's nothing you can do about it, there will always be times when you have bad luck."
The other three people also sighed in unison. Ever since they came to the prison, no, I should say that they entered the military camp, they felt that the pace of progress was more difficult. The most obvious difference was that the monsters had become smarter in their attack methods.
It's even more obscene. Fortunately, the number encountered each time is far less than outside, otherwise even ten lives would not be enough.
After entering the prison, this feeling of difficulty became even stronger. Not to mention the death clan, bone mages, and bone archers encountered in the military camp, just the several new enemies in the prison were already overwhelming.
.
The advanced species of the Sinking Demon clan - Dark Demons, their attack mode has become even weirder; they spit lightning, are suitable for both long-range and melee combat, are pollution monsters with thick blood and high defense; they can absorb mana and have certain abilities in physics and magic.
The first evolutionary form of immune ghosts - Anger. When fighting them, you may realize that your mana has been sucked dry by them, and your life is not far away; and at first glance,
It's like a stone pillar carving as an ornament, but it's actually a winged demon trap of a terrifying killer. When you move forward cautiously, it may be right next to you, and then it will shoot out a huge fireball to roast you.
"The road ahead is difficult!" the four people sighed in unison.
"Okay. Let's continue on our way. Ball, it depends on your performance this time."
After the four of them took a short rest, the paladin stood up first and said to the assassin.
"give it to me."
Upon hearing this, Assassin Bauer swept away his previous depression, tossed his hair narcissistically, and his whole body seemed to sparkle.
"I started playing maze games when I was 4 years old. At the age of 8, I defeated all the opponents in the village. When I was 16 years old, I transformed the obstacle course in the assassin training camp into a maze. In the end, no one could break it (afterwards, I was hung upside down in a tree by Kasha for three days).
Ye), after the age of 20, the world is so big that it is hard to find an opponent. Is it true that the master is lonely? Hey... from now on, please call me the lonely maze killer - Mr. Bauer!"
"Oh, long live Mr. Power..." Everyone clapped and cheered like a boo.
"Come on, I'm still just a little short of falling under your charm." Amazon, with a bold personality, winked at Bauer.
"Ha ha……"
Ball, who couldn't stand the praise, immediately smiled like an idiot.
...Being able to be so happy in a place like a prison may be part of the adventurers' ability to enjoy themselves in hardship. After some laughter, everyone's newly depressed mood had dissipated without a trace.
"Okay, let's go, follow us."
Bauer, who was walking in front, changed his idiotic look just now and waved to everyone calmly. As a scout, he now has a heavy responsibility. If he is not careful, the entire team will be wiped out. There is absolutely no room for jokes.
It can be said.
"This way...um...here..."
After turning a few corners and passing through several doors and corridors, everyone's minds were already dizzy. Only Bauer still maintained a confident look, looking full of control, and sometimes did something on the wall.
A mark, sometimes closing his eyes to meditate, those serious and confident eyes gave others a sense of firmness. As long as he was there, the maze and the like would definitely not be a problem.
"..."
Just as the three people behind were thinking this, Bauer, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped with a strange look on his face.
enemy?
The three men immediately grasped the weapons in their hands and rushed forward.
"..."
When the three of them rushed to Bauer, they looked at him and were stunned. They saw that he was not an enemy. On the contrary, there was not even a human figure.
What appeared in front of them was a broken wall. To be more precise, it was a wall with a big hole. Judging from the sharp section exposed above, it shouldn't have been broken for too long.
"What kind of monster is this..."
The assassin asked in a low voice, with a look of disbelief on his face. The monsters in hell have always been famous for cherishing their "homeland". This is probably their only advantage recognized by the Dark Continent.
"boom……"
Just as the four of them were staring blankly at the hole in the wall, a sudden violent bombardment came over. It was as if the entire ground was shaken.
"behind."
The sharp Amazon quickly turned around and said warily to the wall behind everyone. The source of the sound was on the opposite side of the wall.
"Boom...boom..."
The continuous, blast-like vibrations became clearer and clearer, and the painful groans coming from the walls and floors made people unable to help but picture the huge body and violent power of the unknown monster in their minds.
"Hey..., let's retreat..."
The Paladin was the first to wake up and pulled the other three people to hide in a corner. After hiding their bodies, the wall they were facing was shattered, and countless broken stones were ejected.
A huge cloud of dust was raised, and a huge hole with a diameter of about two meters appeared in the wall that had been intact just now.
The atmosphere was quiet for a moment. Then, like a crocodile quietly emerging from the water, a ferocious head covered with mane quietly emerged from the dark wall. Then its neck and upper body were exposed... It can be seen from its posture,
This monster seemed to be half-crouching through the huge hole more than two meters high, which shows how huge its body is.
What kind of monster is this!? Why have I never heard of it?
The four people hiding in the corner stared blankly at the scene in front of them. It was not until the monster in their eyes completely emerged that they were shocked to judge that what they saw in front of them turned out to be a giant bear more than three meters tall.
Before their minds could turn around, after the giant bear came out, another giant snow-white wolf emerged from the hole one after another, more than two meters tall.
Oh my god, what is going on!! Circus? Boss party? In their shocked eyes, four gray giant wolves, one size smaller than the snow-white giant wolf just now, emerged from the hole in succession.
The smaller one is actually as tall as an average adult. If he stood in front of him, he would be frightened to death...
The giant bear that appeared first looked at the hole on the opposite side and looked thoughtful. When did the boss become intelligent? It was a sight that completely subverted common sense and left the four of them in a trance.
"Hey, why are we back to the starting point again? What unlucky..."
After a while, the giant bear suddenly made an incredible move. It actually spoke, and its pronunciation was so clear and standard.
"ah……"
Amazon let out a soft cry as if he had discovered something, and exerted a little force. Like a chain reaction, the four stunned people fell down without being able to stand still.
"Okay, aim here this time."
I chose a new wall and was about to raise my arms and start working. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden exclamation from the corner behind me, followed by Xiaoxue's vigilant roar.
I looked back in surprise and saw four job transferees lying on the ground. One of them, a female warrior dressed as an Amazon, avoided my gaze with a blushing face, looking very embarrassed.
"Hey, everyone, what a coincidence..."
I waved my bear paw stiffly and said hello awkwardly. Although I didn't understand why I was embarrassed, I felt embarrassed to let them see the scene just now.
"..."
Only then did the other three people react, and they looked at me blankly, then at the Oak Wise Man, the Lazy Crow, and the Poisonous Flower Vine that finally emerged from the hole, and suddenly looked like they understood.
Hey, hey, I said, what did you take me for just now? I saw them looking at me with enlightened eyes, and I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Compared with the other people who reacted abnormally, the adventurer dressed as an assassin lowered his head as if he was muttering something, but his companions beside him could hear it clearly.
"To actually destroy the sacred labyrinth, this is cheating, completely cheating..."
The field he was good at was easily cracked by others through cheating, and Bauer was extremely mentally unbalanced.
To be continued...
