Chapter 313: The Lost City (II)

Entering the Lost City is not an easy task.

Although it is said that it is important to be convenient as the capital of a country in the past, after so many years, the original roads have become uneven and potholed due to disrepair, and some places have even been buried or collapsed by mudslides, and the various monsters and monsters that have "settled" here since then have made it far more difficult than imagined to enter the Lost City.

However, the "Elves and Treasure Chests" adventure party quickly proved that they were not in vain.

"Squeak!!"

The screaming goblin burst out of the grass with a worn-out spear in his hand, and the next moment the lightning bolt of arrows pierced its head. The half-elf ranger girl's body stepped back briskly, and she kept taking out an arrow in her hand again and putting it on the bow, and soon saw another flash of light, and then another goblin fell to the ground, and before she even had time to let out a mournful cry before she died, she had become a corpse.

In front of her, five mercenaries dressed as warriors were armed with swords and shields, and they raised their half-human-high shields to form an improvised barrier in front of them, keeping those dirty and inferior monsters out of the defensive circle, and then their knives fell, and soon, with a series of splashes of blood, several more goblins screamed and fell to the ground. On the other side, the berserker with a two-handed greatsword cooperated with the two thieves to block another wave of attacks. One of the thieves waved his hand and sprinkled triangular nails on the ground, while the other thief on the other side threw a cigarette bomb, and soon green smoke erupted from it. The condensation did not disperse and wrapped the kobold who was running towards them inside.

There were sharp iron nails under his feet, and there was foul-smelling smoke around him. These kobolds, who were not very strong in the first place, naturally became chaotic. And while they were in chaos, I saw the berserker raise his hands. The two-meter-long two-handed giant sword shouted angrily, and the next moment I saw that the muscles on the berserker's body suddenly bulged, and then the berserker burst out, and the long sword in his hand roared and cut through the air and swept forward, and then I saw those unlucky kobolds suddenly being cut off by the waist, and the stumps scattered everywhere, mixed with blood, were scattered all over the ground.

The wild assault stopped the goblins and kobolds from moving further, and they did not dare to attack any further, but raised their rusty and tattered weapons in their hands and squeaked and shouted words that no one could understand. But immediately after. The whole group of monsters began to stir, and then a burly half-orc walked out, it was more than two meters tall, holding a pure gold axe in its hand, and wearing a leather armor that had been torn from the corpse of an unknown person, and it looked like that. Then I saw the orc roar angrily, holding the adamantite axe in both hands, and slashing towards everyone.

And it was at this time that Steve made a move.

The mercenary leader holds a sword in his right hand. Pointing straight ahead, he stretched out his left hand, pressed it on the cold and sharp edge of the long sword in his hand, and whispered something silently. Then his left hand slashed across the blade, and the next moment, I saw that the bland blade suddenly burst into blazing red flames. Then Steve was seen raising his sword and slashing forward.

The next moment. The flames burning on the sword's body roared forward like a fiery snake with its mouth open, and only a loud "boom" was heard. The orc was completely consumed by the red flames and turned to ashes.

Throwing stones to ask for directions, the road is not easy to walk, seeing that even the powerful half-orc warriors are not pleasing in front of this group of adventurers, the remaining goblins and kobolds naturally have no intention of fighting, and squeak and turn around and run. In just a moment, the woodland, which was still a little noisy because of the battle, once again returned to its former calm. The only difference was the blood and corpses scattered all over the withered yellow meadows, but even these things would soon return to the earth, and by the time the following spring dawned, they would have turned into fertilizer to nourish the woods.

Not bad.

Jenn, who was standing in the middle, narrowed his eyes and looked at the adventurer in front of him, and nodded slightly. The reason why he hired the "Fairy and Treasure Chest" adventure group before was mainly based on the fact that the other party was able to escape from the Lost City three times in a row. In fact, with Jenn's strength, it won't be too difficult to brush the Lost City dungeon alone, but the problem is that Jenn only knows about the Lost City itself, but he doesn't know about the monsters that inhabit it. He didn't want himself to be stupid enough to break in and get into a bunch of trouble. Although those monsters are a dish in Jenn's eyes, the problem is that it is really annoying to be surrounded by a noisy swarm of flies. What's more, he has to deal with a tricky guy, so naturally he doesn't want to make a fuss. Because of this, Jenn specially hired a team of experienced adventurers to block the sword for him, and at the same time concealed his identity. After all, it is not uncommon for a group of adventurers to enter the Lost City to explore, so even Tinidel may not be so easy to find his whereabouts.

However, Jenn didn't expect that the strength of the adventurous team he used to cover was not bad. According to his observations just now, almost every member of the group has elite strength, and Steve, the head of the group, has the level of a master in the middle of the stream. If you judge by the combat effectiveness of the Jenn dungeon system, then the average member of this adventure group has two stars in combat power, while Steve is almost at the level of two and a half stars to three stars. This is a rarity among adventurers. Although many heroic legends have stories of adventurers slaying demons and dragons, in fact, ninety-nine percent of the adventurers on the Klein Continent are not very strong. After all, this line of work is to sell money and sell their lives, and there are many dangers, and those who have a little ability would rather do some more stable work. For example, to serve as a bodyguard for nobles, or to join the army. Only those at the lowest level, who have no way out, will choose to be adventurers. Perhaps there will be legends such as Juggernauts and Archmages among them in the future, but they are all the results of their "leveling" after a series of adventures and experiences. Those who first joined this industry were either desperate or destitute.

Of course. It's not that there are no noble heirs who "team" up to find excitement because they yearn for the legendary adventurous life, but this kind of team usually doesn't last long. After all, for the most part, the life of an adventurer can be described as "miserable". It's nowhere near as bizarre as the legend in the story. The huge gap between reality and dreams will soon make the children of the aristocracy who are bored and come out in search of excitement understand the hardships of life, and the average pampered person is obviously unwilling to endure this hardship.

"You seem to be calm, Mr. Jenn."

At that moment, a soft voice rang in Jenn's ears, and he turned his head to see Tillise standing not far from him, staring at him with brown eyes wide open. Seeing Tillis's expression, Jenn also smiled slightly.

"It's alright, Miss Tillise. I'm an academic, but it's not the first time I've fought in battles, and it's a common occurrence for me. ”

"Does Mr. Jenn know how to do swordsmanship?"

Hearing this, Tillise couldn't help but subconsciously lower her head to look at the long sword on Jenn's waist, compared to ordinary long swords, this sword is quite gorgeous, the black scabbard has colorful gems and golden lines forward, and the handle part is carved into a pair of back-to-back angels, not so much a weapon. It's better to say that it looks more like a work of art.

"I understand a little bit."

In the face of Tilis's inquiry, Jenn smiled again, which made the girl's face blush, although it was said that as an adventurer. It's not like Tillise hasn't dealt with people before. But Jenn in front of him is clearly different, he is personable and suave. The long one is also very handsome and chic. And when communicating with him, I don't feel the aggressive momentum of the aristocracy at all. And this young man also knows a lot. From the mysteries of the world to the grass and trees. He can say something interesting, such a person will naturally win the favor of others, not to mention that Tilis is still a young girl who is still in love, although as an adventurer she is already a skilled old bird, but in the love field, this young lady is just a newcomer.

And at this moment, suddenly, a shrill voice sounded from the side.

"But a real battle on the battlefield and that kind of good-looking show between the nobles are two different things entirely."

Hearing this, Tilis was stunned for a moment, then she turned her head to look in the direction where the voice came from, and saw a young man in leather armor with two short swords stuck in his waist frowning, looking this way with a straight face. Seeing him, Tillise suddenly frowned.

"Daniel, what are you talking about, what a faux pas!"

"I'm just telling the truth."

Hearing Tilis's complaint, the young man named Daniel snorted coldly, and then he glared at Jenn unpleasantly.

"This is a battlefield, my lord, not a training ground for martial arts competitions, nor a duel competition where nobles are idle and bored after dinner, we are living with our lives. For the sake of your life, you'd better put away your little show tricks lest we have to wipe your ass in the back. ”

"Daniel, you're going too far!"

Hearing this, Jenn didn't say anything more, but Tilis said dissatisfied. Hearing her speak, Daniel didn't even respond, just snorted coldly and turned around, and walked back to the queue in front of him.

"It's really ..............."

Tilis looked at the other person's figure helplessly, and then turned back and said to Jenn apologetically.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jenn, Daniel didn't mean to, he just wasn't good at communicating with people........."

"I didn't take it to heart, Miss Tilis."

In response to Tilis's apology, Jenn smiled and waved his hand.

"It's just a little thing, and I can understand his concern, but rest assured, if it weren't for the crisis, I wouldn't want to show off my little tricks to make a fool of ......."

"Look at what you say..............."

Hearing that Jenn didn't care, Tillise was relieved and relieved, and then she looked up again and looked at Jenn.

But the girl didn't notice that at this moment in front of them, Daniel was staring at them coldly with a gloomy face. He clenched his fists, and in those pale blue eyes, a flame was burning. (To be continued......)
