Generally speaking, with the exception of those who are keen to improve their martial arts skills between life and death, most adventurers will try to avoid fighting, as not only will they not get paid anything, but they may also die as a result.

But not being willing to fight doesn't mean they're not good at fighting, on the contrary, because of their long time in the wilderness, they have developed beastly instincts and quick adaptability, and can react immediately when a battle occurs, definitely faster than the scouts in the army.

This is why almost all nations and city-states like to hire adventurers during wars, because their role is at times far greater than that of armies, and in almost every war one or two lucky men can be heard to complete the mission of life and death, and finally the bard adapts it into a ballad and sings it around.

When Kahlan was young, he also fantasized that one day he would be famous in the world and gain endless wealth and the admiration of beautiful women, but as he grew older, his previous ambitions gradually faded into obscurity, and now he only thinks about making more money to make his wife live better, and it would be better if he could have a son and daughter.

But this simple idea has been broken today, fate seems to like to tease mortals very much, the more you want to get something, the more you often can't get it, and when you don't want it, this thing just appears in front of you.

As the snake patrol raised the alarm, all the snake people living in this ruin were awakened, and then they left the majestic stone building one after another, and rushed to the underground entrance, and the adventure team with only six people and one dog immediately felt a little overwhelmed, and the slightly weaker poet Ashley's thigh was cut a small and small opening. Blood instantly stained the pants red.

"Whew!"

The "rice bucket" raised by wild beasts thoroughly stimulates the latent bestiality. Let out a howl. Then he charged like crazy, and the huge two-handed axe seemed to have no weight in his hands, directly opening a path full of blood and minced flesh in the enemy-dense area.

"Damn! Hurry up and find a way, we're about to run out of it. Demps shouted at the leader as he swept away the arrows that had broken through the air. His condition was not much better, and his arms were already dripping with blood due to his lack of armor, although the warrior monk could control the tightening of his muscles to reduce the damage. But if you keep bleeding like this, you will fall sooner or later.

Kahlan tightly protected the two little loli behind him with his shield and cursed loudly: "Bastard, don't make noise, don't you see that I'm thinking of a way?" There were so many of them that we had to find a narrow terrain to hold on. ”

"Uncle! We can rush directly into the ground, where the entrance is very narrow, so that the numerical superiority of the enemy cannot be used. ”

In the face of the urgency, Liv immediately came up with a solution. However, she knew that it was estimated that the underground ruins would not be safe, which could be seen from the importance that the snake people attached to this place, and there must be some terrible secret hidden inside.

"That's all it can be now. I'll lift the ban on the two of you now and attack as you please. It can't get any worse anyway. As he spoke, Kahlan picked up his shield and slammed it into the face of a snake warrior, then slashed off his foe's head with his sword.

Judging by his dexterous skill with the shield, the nickname "Iron Wall" is well deserved. You must know that nearly ten minutes have passed since the launch, and the two little girls have not lost even a single hair under his protection, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the defense master is not an exaggeration.

As soon as she heard that she could finally do it, Liv immediately raised her fire staff excitedly, and shouted with laughter at the place where the people were concentrated, "Tremble, monsters! The great witch will soon burn you to ashes. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, an orange fireball suddenly shot out from the top of the wooden staff and flew straight ahead.

The warrior monk Demps, who was entangled with the snake people, saw that his pupils contracted violently, and without saying a word, he immediately abandoned the enemy and turned around and ran. Although the warrior monk is very strong in magic resistance, he does not want to test his physical strength to withstand the flames and explosions of high temperatures for the time being.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the orange fireball exploded, and the range of about ten meters completely turned into a sea of fire, at least four snake people in the center turned into tattered charred corpses on the spot, and six fell to the ground unconscious, judging from the wounds, if they were not treated in time, death would only be a matter of time.

"Oh...... That's really exciting...... It's no wonder that so many adventuring parties like to bring a mage...... The lethality is indeed not comparable to that of a sword. Demps got up from the ground, shook the stones off his body, and muttered to himself.

Liv let out a nervous laugh like a little madman, "Hahahaha! What does it taste like? Don't worry, this is just the beginning, and no one wants to stop me from having a good time tonight. ”

After saying that, she did not hesitate to use the magic stored in the wooden staff, and unscrupulously bombarded the snake people, and the orange fireballs were like a life-seeking death slashing through a straight line, as long as they touched any object, they would detonate immediately, and the rumbling sound was endless, and in the blink of an eye, all the snake people within forty meters were emptied, and the guys who arrived later did not dare to get too close when they saw this situation, and they all stood outside the range and watched cautiously.

Elf Lori's appearance is not bad, although the explosive arrow is not as large as the scope of the fireball technique, but the destructive power is more concentrated, and a few snake mages who did not have time to bless the protection of long-range weapons died in her hands, which can be described as a brilliant record.

Looking at the mess around him, Karan grew his mouth in surprise and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Oh my God! Are today's children so scary? It's crazy, I even wonder if it's time for me to retire. ”

He now understands that adventurers often say that rich spellcasters and poor spellcasters are two very different creatures, the former can torture their opponents to death with a large amount of magic equipment even if they are still in their apprenticeship, while the latter can only live on their own spell slots, and sometimes even end their lives with a poisonous dagger.

There is no doubt that Liv obviously belongs to the former, and the total value of the magic items in the leather bag behind her is definitely not less than a hundred thousand gold coins. Unless you're a veteran of combat. Otherwise, there would be no chance of winning in a head-to-head battle with a mage below level twelve.

What matters in the end is. She didn't skimp a little when she used these expensive spells, as if the price of a third-level magic was not three or four hundred gold coins, but three or four copper plates, even if there was only one enemy left, she didn't hesitate at all, and directly exploded into minced flesh with a fireball.

Extravagant!

It's too extravagant!

For Karan, who has always been accustomed to careful calculations, this is simply a loser, and a defeat is a few thousand gold coins, although not his money. But I couldn't help but feel like a knife, and I couldn't wait to rush up and grab the excited Liv and press her to the ground, and give her a good spanking to let her know the importance of being diligent and thrifty.

Unfortunately, he had no right to do so, as the two girls were employers, and according to the tradition of adventurers, the employer had no right to interfere with the employer's private behavior unless the other party threatened the safety of the team.

"Uncle, why don't those guys come up? Aren't there still so many of them? "Seeing that the snakes are gathering more and more, there is no intention of approaching. Liv asked, dissatisfied, turning her head.

It was clear that her nerves were too high tonight. Maybe it's because I'm usually too depressed at home.,So when you encounter danger, you all erupt.。 If Shi Kodi saw this scene now, I am afraid that she would not be able to believe that the crazy girl at this moment is her own daughter.

Hearing the girl's question, Kahlan finally couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly: "Do you think creatures with normal brains will rush up and send them to death when they encounter a similar situation?" The intelligence of the snake people is not low, especially the purebred snake people are smart, they are waiting, waiting for us to be hungry and thirsty before attacking. Also, it's best to save on spells, you're just too wasteful. ”

"Coward, I'd like to wait for them all to get closer for a big surprise." After saying that, Liv pouted, revealing the magic scroll that had been hidden in her other hand.

After the poet Ashley, who also used magical powers, saw it clearly, her face immediately changed greatly, because what was stored on it was the Death Cloud Technique, a fifth-level magic with great lethality, which ordinary people might not be able to buy even if they had money, if the snake people dared to rush up, then the terrifying poisonous cloud could cause hundreds of casualties in an instant.

She glanced at the leather backpack that didn't look very big, and asked very sternly, "How many magic items and scrolls did you steal from your home?" ”

"Not much, this scroll is the most powerful, and the rest are first-level and second-level magic." Liv replied with a regretful look on her face.

She had no idea that these were deliberately sorted out by Tyrantiel, and that all the things that were too powerful were hidden, especially storage items such as dimensional bags, so that the children could get exercise.

However, the old mage obviously underestimated Liv's eyesight, and without the slightest hesitation, she was the first to take the most powerful and practical Fire Staff, followed by the highest-level "Dead Cloud Technique" scroll in the entire warehouse, these two things alone can easily solve most of the enemies.

"Hey...... Headache little one, I'd love to see how your father would look when he knew you were wasting magic items. Let's go, while the senior mage of the snake people hasn't arrived yet, let's hurry into the underground ruins, otherwise we won't be able to leave. ”

As soon as Kah'an's words were finished, the snake man in the distance suddenly gave way to a passage, and slowly walked out of the middle a mage covered in yellow scales and wearing a red crown on his head.

Unlike low-level mages, it is blessed with at least three layers of protective magic, and as soon as it appears, it spits out its forked tongue and shouts, "Hiss! Rude adventurers, if you dare to break into the territory of the Scales Clan, lay down your arms and surrender immediately, I will consider making your death a pleasure. ”

"It's the snake mage who appeared at the top." Elf Lori reminded in a whisper.

As the elf with the best eyesight, she noticed at first glance that there was a particularly conspicuous red mark on the other person's forehead, which was not at all on the other snake people, and it looked like it should be some kind of symbol of status.

As the captain, Kahlan did not reply, but quietly made a retreat gesture, "Rice Bucket" and Demps immediately understood, one picked up a loli and turned around and rushed into the underground entrance, the other two followed closely behind, and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

"Hiss! Cunning and despicable warm-blooded creatures! Give me chase! Kill them before they are awakened, or you will wait to be sacrificed alive!" The snake mage roared wildly at all his fellow citizens, and even a fool could hear the anger hidden in his words.

Under the threat of death, the snakes swarmed into the underground entrance, and they were visibly more afraid of being sacrificed alive than fireballs...... (To be continued......)
