Chapter 459: Gu, kill me

"It seems that it was not successful." Jiang Li felt that there was no change. He could neither refine weapons or alchemy, nor knew the way of time.

Lance's sister Phyllis looked at Jiang Li with resentful eyes.

What kind of church is it without a statue of God?

Jiang Li casually made seven statues and returned them to the church.

Jiang Li knows a little about the most basic weapon refining techniques.

Originally, Jiang Li wanted to give his statue to Phyllis as compensation. He believed that he was definitely stronger than the seven gods, so his statue was naturally more valuable than the seven gods' statues.

But Jiang Li thought about it again and felt that since he couldn't give people skills, it seemed that there was no point in putting up a statue of himself.

"Let's stop talking about skills for now. Let's go and continue our journey."

Lance was confused. What journey should he continue? Jiang Li said seriously, "As a legendary hero, of course I have to defeat the Demon King. Do you remember what I said when I invited you to join the team?"

"I say we team up to defeat the Demon King."

Lance looked odd.

How should I put it? This big guy's strength is unquestionable, and defeating the devil is no problem for him.

Lance always felt that he had no sense of accomplishment even though he successfully defeated the Demon King by relying on Jiang Li.

Phyllis said respectfully: "Master Jiang Li, according to the prophecy of the gods, the brave who defeats the Demon King will conquer four dungeons and obtain the four legendary equipment: the Brave Sword that cuts through everything, the Brave Ring with infinite magic power, the Brave Crown that resists mind control, and the Brave Shield that is powerful enough to resist the Demon King's attacks. Only when the brave possesses these four weapons can he have the power to defeat the Demon King."

Jiang Li was very interested: "That's quite particular. Then let's go to the underground city."

After saying goodbye to Phyllis, Lance embarked on a new journey.

Lance had a premonition that this would be a long journey.

Half a minute later, Lance stood blankly at the entrance to the first dungeon.

Jiang Li turned around and called out to him, "What are you standing there for? Come in and tell me about the underground city."

"Oh." Lance came back to his senses and jogged to keep up with Jiang Li's pace.

"The dungeon has dozens of floors, and each floor is filled with monsters. The deeper you go, the higher the level of the monsters, and the more difficult it is to defeat them. The most difficult monster is the floor master at the bottom."

"I wonder if you have carefully read the quests issued by the guild. Most of them are related to dungeons. Countless adventurers take on quests, active in dungeons, fighting monsters, completing quests, and exchanging monster skins, teeth and other items for gold coins."

"The best way to prove an adventurer's strength is to defeat the lowest level masters. The brave team I was in successfully defeated six of the lowest level masters. Although it was not the fastest in history, it had the least casualties."

"I originally planned to conquer these four predicted dungeons after a while, when we all became legendary adventurers. But now it seems impossible."

At this point, Lance let out a wry smile.

Lance was about to say something when he heard a scream.

A few green-skinned monsters in front were waving wooden sticks and besieging a naked female archer.

"Gu, kill me." The female shooter accepted her fate, knowing that there was no hope of escape.

Jiang Li waved his hand and threw the green-skinned monster away.

"This is a goblin, the most common demon along with the slime." Lance originally wanted to rescue him, but Jiang Li took action before him. All he could do now was explain.

"Thank you both for saving my life." The female shooter was grateful to tears. If Jiang Li had not helped, her fate would be unimaginable.

The female shooter had fair skin and long light golden hair that looked like a work of art. Her slightly long pointed ears were twitching as if she was frightened by the scene just now.

Apparently, the archer is an elf.

Jiang Li took out a robe and put it on the female archer, and asked, "I see that your physical fitness is much stronger than those goblins. How did you end up like this?"

"I, I didn't expect that the goblin was just a primary monster, but it could sneak attack me. I was careless for a moment, and the goblin hit my head hard with a wooden stick."

Lance frowned: "To go to the dungeon for adventure, you need at least two adventurers to go together. Why are you alone?"

"It's too troublesome to form a temporary team. I thought I just wanted to kill a few goblins and it could be done easily, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this..." The female archer's voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke.

Lance asked sternly, "Foolish! Do you know how many adventurers die in the dungeon every year because of your arrogant mentality? Goblins and slimes, you think they are easy to defeat, but in fact, countless adventurers have died at their hands!"

"I know I was wrong." The female shooter lowered her head and admitted her mistake. She really knew she was wrong.

Jiang Li bent down and picked up a handful of soil, rubbing it between his fingertips. He noticed that after the goblins died, they were absorbed by the dungeon.

"This underground city is quite interesting. It has some kind of magic formation. Whenever a living being dies, the formation will absorb the energy dissipated when the living being dies, store it, and wait for someone to take it away."

"And there is this kind of formation on every floor." This is what Jiang Li saw with his spiritual sense.

"Lord Jiang Li, what you mean is that no matter whether it is the demon or the human, as long as they die in the dungeon, the energy in their bodies will be absorbed by the dungeon?" Lance was shocked. He had never heard of such a statement.

"That's not what I meant, that's just the way it is."

"Lance, let me ask you, how many foolish adventurers are there like the female shooter?"

"Too many to count. We grew up listening to the legends of heroic adventurers. The adventurers in the stories were all extremely brave, responsible, cherished their companions, and had extraordinary martial arts skills. When these adventurers formed a team, there was no enemy they could not defeat."

"Stories never mention heroic adventurers using strategies to defeat the enemy. Stories always tell of adventurers bursting into battle, increasing their strength, and killing the enemy. The captain of my original team was similar to the adventurer in the story."

"It is precisely because of this that many people feel that as long as they are united, they will be able to defeat monsters of similar level. With their numbers and unity, they will not lose."

"This leads to too many people going forward without thinking and dying in the dungeon."

Lance advocates planning before taking action, which is considered cowardly by many people.

Jiang Li analyzed: "Obviously, someone is interfering and making the adventurers and the demons kill each other, and this person is profiting from it."

"Is this the plan of the Immortal Realm? No, even if the adventurers and the demons fight to the death, they can't kill all the creatures in the world. Adventurers are only a part of the human race, and there are more humans who don't need to fight the demons."

"There are two possibilities. Either this is not the Immortal Realm's plan, or this is just part of the Immortal Realm's plan."
