Chapter 915 Gaote’s gossip

The Cave of Styx is a very magical place. Because I didn’t study literature well, I could only use poor words like magical, indeed magical, really magical to describe what I saw.

Different from the place where I was deceived by the old man in Tualatin last time, this place is not so much an island-like terrain composed of lava rocks of different sizes fixedly floating on the sea of ​​lava. It is better to say that this place looks like an abandoned place.

It's an abandoned temple that once enshrined a powerful being like a great demon.

The reason is that this place is full of man-made traces. For example, the ground is not exposed and rough lava rock ground, but a neat flat ground paved with square stone slabs. From time to time, some ruins can be seen around it.

It can be vaguely seen that the structure is somewhat similar to the church. The only difference is that the church is carved with angels and the Son, while here are huge demons and skeletons.

The devil-carved stone bridges connecting each lava stone platform are very complete and regular. They are connected one after another. As you walk, you will gradually not feel that you are on the lava stone, but as if you are on a criss-crossed landscape.

If you are not lucky enough to travel among the demon palaces, you may even get lost.

Fortunately, although this place seems to be a projection of the hell area, the town portal scroll can still be used here. Even if I get lost, it is no big deal. I breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, I am relieved for those adventurers who have struggled with the maze terrain. For me, who has climbed to the peak of the Maze Runner, this terrain is a piece of cake. You can walk back and forth even with your eyes closed.

,Huhu~~, yes, even if I throw away all the scrolls of return to the city, I can do it, I absolutely can do it!!

My brain was buzzing and hot as if steam had been poured into it. With my red eyes wide open and breathing heavily, I walked stiffly to the edge of the lava stone. I tremblingly took out all the scrolls to return to the city and looked at them.

With the sea of ​​molten waves rolling under my feet, I had only one thought in my mind.

That's right, the scroll of the town portal is simply evil. I'm... I'm... I'm the Maze Killer!!!!!!!

"Boom——!"

There was a crisp knocking sound from the pan.

"Really, as long as you leave the adults alone for a while, you will do some stupid things."

Holding the pan that was still buzzing, Willas sighed troubledly, squatted down and quickly picked up the book of return to the city and the scroll of the return to the city scattered on the ground one by one.

"Humph, you are so naive. What you are seeing now is just one percent of Xiaofan's stupid behavior. To take care of Xiaofan like this all the way and still be alive and kicking now is like playing a game with the good God.

How much sweat do you think I put in?"

The little ghost held his head high and spoke with a poignant and proud tone like a farmer's mother who raised a hundred disabled sons, recounting some things that were wantonly fabricated.

"Fortunately, I have sister Alice."

Sarah patted her little chest and cast a grateful look at the extremely proud little ghost.

But... damn it, has Sarah, the one who protects me the most, defected to the enemy? This idiot ghost really chose a very good time to add insult to injury and step on top of my head to improve his own image.

At this time, Gaut suddenly made a seemingly wise contemplation. He deliberately walked to the center of everyone's sight, assumed the posture of a thinker, and then looked at everyone with an inscrutable look. His voice suddenly became hoarse and vicissitudes of life.

.

"Don't blame Wu too much. If you stay in this lava sea environment for a long time, your mood will indeed become very depressed."

After a pause, everyone seemed to be stunned by his "wisdom" speech. He curled his lips and continued.

"I have heard that many adventurers who have stayed here have become very emotionally unstable, sensitive and irritable over a period of time, losing their temper at every turn, as if they have become completely different.

but……"

Gott suddenly raised his voice with a twist, as if he had grasped some important clue.

"But it was the first time I heard about the scroll that was thrown back to the city, and it was also the first time I saw it. Sure enough... it was just as I guessed. Was it because of [that] that Wu became like this?!

!”

Seeing the worried expressions on Willas's and others' faces, and waiting attentively for his next speech, Gott couldn't help but cheer up.

"Actually, I have suspected it a long time ago. I have been observing and observing again and again these days, and now I can finally confirm my original guess. Regarding Wu's behavior that is different from ordinary people, that is!!!"

As he spoke, his eyes widened with a very imposing expression. Under the focus of all eyes, Gott pointed his hand high and landed on someone.

"That means...Wu is an idiot!!"

"..."

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and everyone stared blankly at Gott, motionless.

"I'm sorry, my Gott has caused trouble to everyone again."

First, Karina bowed to everyone, and then Vilas and the others breathed a sigh of relief with expressions like "So that's it."

Don’t breathe a sigh of relief!! Aren’t you going to refute me?!!

"Did you not realize it until now? You are indeed an idiot."

The little ghost sighed in boredom, hugged a crystal tree branch, stepped aside and began to chew on it.

Very good, will you knock both me and Gott out of the water with one stroke? This poisonous tongue saint.

"So that's it, that's great. I thought you had some kind of disease." Vilas covered her chest with fear, showing a reassuring expression.

It’s not good at all. Is it normal that I’m an idiot?!!!

"This has nothing to do with big brother being an idiot."

Sarah, who defended me the most, stood up and retorted angrily in a sweet and lovely voice.

Thank you... Thank you so much, Sarah, only you... only you... But why do you feel that the meaning of this sentence is a bit subtle? Has it refuted Gott's idiot theory? Or not? Is it my illusion?

?

Pull~~Tear~~~ The corner of my clothes was pulled.

When I turned around, I saw the expressionless Princess Sanwu, who swung a book into my arms.

Is it another weird book with a long title? I turned it over curiously, uh, it’s not?!!!!

It is difficult for ordinary people to understand my shock now, because this is the first time I have received non-H books from Princess Sanwu.

Idiot Philosophy: A fool's way to live happily.

This is the title of the book.

"..."

Was he comforted? Or was he complained about? My eyes were blurry and I couldn’t figure it out.

"that……"

Linya always felt that she should express something now. After thinking about it again and again, she suddenly remembered the topic that had been discussed before - about "tsundere", a word that was very new to her.

Should I do this? It sounds like Brother Wu likes it very much.

Therefore, Linya, who came to such a conclusion, took a deep breath, tried to make her look and tone arrogant, and then pointed at the other party fiercely.

"It's wordy, wordy, listen to me, you idiot, Brother Wu... Brother Wu is not an idiot!!"

At the end of the stuttering speech, Linya rolled her eyes in circles, and she couldn't figure out what she meant. After all, it was an attribute that was completely contrary to hers.

"..."

How to describe this feeling? Although the imitation is a mess, I still feel healed by Linya's care and cute look now.

"Don't worry, Wu."

Gott, who changed from wise man mode to friendship mode, patted my shoulder, flashed his bright white teeth, and gave me a thumbs up, thinking he was very handsome.

"No matter what you become, we are still brothers, right?"

"Vlas."

I indifferently stretched out my hand to Willas, and she handed over the pan with understanding.

Turn into a shooting star, you idiot!!

This was a farce that happened during the break on the second day after entering the Cave of Styx. Thanks to this, the girls, who were originally in such a depressing environment and whose morale was gradually low, showed smiles again.

As Karina said, most of the monsters in the Cave of Styx are monsters like the Styx Witch. Of course, I say most of them, not all, because where there are monsters like the Styx Witch, there will inevitably be monsters like the Styx Witch.

Accompanied by another kind of monster, just like the relationship between the Sinking Demon and the Sinking Demon Wizard, unless the number is very small, it is rare to be alone.

This kind of monster is the Moon King, or its advanced Body and Blood King type of monster.

The Styx Witch cooperates with the Moon King. Their attack pattern is very monotonous, that is, one move. However, as the saying goes, one move can be used everywhere. Even if they know that it is an unchanging attack pattern, it can still give many adventurers a headache.

.

The Stygian Witch has a curse ability, which can weaken the enemy's defense and attack, while the tank-type Moon King is a character with high attack and defense. The attack set formed by combining the two is simple and effective.

Many adventurers have suffered at the hands of this pair.

In addition, the Styx Witches also have a very resounding name, that is, they are mage nemesis, because they can cast a curse called bloody mana. When the mana value is greater than the health value, this curse will take effect.

The effect is that when you cast a skill, the more mana the skill consumes, the more damage you will suffer.

To put it simply, as long as you are a mage, then your mana value will be higher than your health value. There is no doubt about this. And this bloody mana curse allows you to cast skills from mana consumption to blood consumption. For mages,

To be honest, this is a very fatal skill. Any mage who has been hit by the bloody magic will immediately become disabled and can only use some low-level skills at most.

Because of this, the firepower of the mage is suppressed, and the defense and attack that warriors rely on for survival are weakened. The combination of the Styx Witch and the Moon King is extremely cumbersome. If there is a long-range expert like Amazon in the team

, it’s easier to deal with. You can use long-range physical attacks to kill the Stygian Witch first. If everyone is a bad archer, and there are only mages and warriors in the team, then I’m sorry, it’s best to take a detour when encountering such a combination.
