Chapter 292: The Light Team Has No Impact
That night, most of the adventure groups in the valley couldn't sleep, especially the group of a hundred people and the mercenary group, who were still in shock.
In the second half of the night, a huge high-level monster suddenly appeared in the camp and violently destroyed their two camps. Although no casualties were caused, they were awakened from their sleep and suffered a serious mental and spiritual blow.
However, what is strange is that among the six adventure camps, the other four are fine, only the Hundred Man Group and the Mercenary Group suffered.
The monsters did not invade from outside the valley, but fell from the sky.
Because the Light Team camp stationed at the outermost edge was safe and sound.
When the monsters attacked the Hundred Man Group and the Mercenary Group, the members of other adventure teams were awakened and rushed out of their tents, ready for battle. Only the Light Team remained quiet, with only the leading dark elf coming out of the tent and watching from afar.
Are those rookies such deep sleepers?
Don’t they know that when camping outdoors, they must always be alert?
"Captain, what's going on with that monster?" Joseph took out a spare fur coat from his storage bag and wrapped himself tightly to resist the night chill.
After being attacked by monsters, their camp was in a mess. The collapsed snow crushed half of the tents. People escaped, but their cold-proof equipment was crushed. They couldn't sleep in the second half of the night and had to get up and work.
"It's a warning." Nasak took out a bottle of liquor and took a big gulp. "We have entered the territory of a high-level magical beast."
Joseph took a deep breath and looked around sharply.
The situation on the mercenary group's side was even worse than that of the Hundred Man Group. All the tents were destroyed, and the three nobles were so cold that they cursed and called the mercenaries useless for failing to protect them.
The mercenary leader was filled with rage and coldly ordered his men to clean up the camp and set up a new tent as soon as possible to ensure the safety of his noble employer.
Joseph's eyes swept over the other safe and sound adventure team camps, and stayed in the camp of Team Light for a few seconds, where he found the low-level little monster sleeping with its belly turned upside down in the fire.
The corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a look of disdain.
"Captain, why don't the monsters attack them?" Joseph was very upset. How could the camps of these small groups that took advantage of them remain intact?
Nasak was also unhappy, but what could he do?
"The intelligence of a high-level magical beast is no less than that of humans. The moment we entered its territory, we were targeted. It knows that we and the mercenary group are the biggest threat."
As for the other four small groups, they have few members and low levels, so they cannot pose any threat. Won’t the powerful Hundred-Man Group and Mercenary Group become targets?
"Damn it!" Joseph gritted his teeth. "Why did you come earlier or later and attack in the middle of the night?"
Don't give them any chance to prepare.
I had been climbing the snow-capped mountains for a whole day and was exhausted. I wanted to have a good sleep to recover my strength, but after this incident, my condition will definitely be worse tomorrow.
Nasak glanced at him. "You should be thankful it only came to warn us, not to kill us."
Joseph shuddered and joined in re-pitching the tent.
The Hundred Man Group and the Mercenary Group were extremely busy. Seeing that the danger was over, the other adventure teams went back to their tents to continue resting, but they did not dare to fall into a deep sleep.
Wrapped in a fur coat, Morrissey stood in the camp and watched for a long time, until his perception, which had spread to a hundred meters away, could no longer detect any breath of magical beasts, and then he withdrew his perception.
He turned and looked at the little monster sleeping in the fire, thinking about something.
When there was a commotion in the camp, he and Sadler were awakened from their sleep. They originally wanted to go out together to check the situation, but Budno, who was lying between them, showed no signs of waking up. There was such a big commotion outside, but he seemed to be fast asleep and did not react at all.
There was no choice but for Sadler to stay in the tent and watch him while Morrissey came out wearing a fur coat.
By the time he saw the Hundred Man Group and the Mercenary Group fighting back in a panic, the monsters were hiding in the snow and escaping.
Sadler didn't see the monster's appearance clearly at all, he only knew that it was very huge and was a high-level monster.
He quickly spread his perception and tracked the fleeing monster.
But what was inconceivable to him was that as soon as the monster got into the snow pile, both its body and breath disappeared out of thin air.
Having lived for more than two hundred years, he had never encountered such a mysterious high-level magical beast.
Even a ninth-order demon beast couldn't disappear in an instant.
Could it be a tenth-level monster?
There are only a handful of rank-ten magical beasts in the entire Austin continent, and the Snow Nation is fortunate to have received one. However, that magical beast is hidden at the bottom of the Snow Mountain Labyrinth and has not left for ten thousand years.
Morrissey didn't think that the monster today was the one at the bottom of the snow mountain maze.
The two have different auras.
He had once been fortunate enough to visit the fifth floor of the Snow Mountain Labyrinth and felt the icy aura of that demon beast. But this demon beast today didn't have a trace of icy aura, but instead brought some heat.
This aura is somewhat similar to that of the little monster lying in the fire.
Most people can't detect it, but Morrissey remembered its scent after close contact with the little monster.
Looking at the quiet tents in his own camp, Morrissey slowly raised the corners of his mouth.
It would be fine if the ten first-year magic students were sleeping soundly, but why were even Seleu and Harris motionless?
How much trust does this show in the contracted beast in the fire?
Or did they already know that there would be a "good show" tonight?
Morrissey returned to the tent in a cold state, took off his fur coat and put it aside.
"How is it?" Sadler asked nervously.
Morrissey looked down at Budno, who was sleeping soundly with one leg across the pillow, and gave him a wicked smile, pinching his nose with his fingers.
Because his nose was blocked, Budno automatically opened his mouth to breathe.
Sadler slapped his hand away. "Don't pick on kids."
Morrissey let go of Budno's nose and flicked his fingers. "Nassack is furious."
He gave Sadler a brief description of what he had seen.
After a while, Sadler looked down at Budno who was soundly sleeping.
Morrissey's guess may be correct.
During the day, knowing that both the Mercenary Group and the Hundred Man Group were planning to attack the Team of Light, Desio said bluntly that he would teach them a lesson, and Angel responded by letting Farm scare them after dark.
At the time, Sadler didn't take it seriously.
Farm was just a low-level monster, and there was no way it could possibly scare an experienced adventurer.
It was probably just a kid's angry words.
Unexpectedly, something really happened in the middle of the night, but the twelve members of Team Light were sleeping soundly, and none of them were awakened.
Either they really had low alertness, or... they were the culprits behind tonight's incident.
Sadler pinched his brows.
It seemed time for him to reassess their courage and strength.
He must have something to rely on before he dares to scare others.
"Go to sleep!" Sadler lay back down.
Morrissey then lay down, staring at Budno's handsome face, and whispered, "Maybe... he's not an ordinary mountain dweller."
As dark elves who are born as children of darkness, they are very sensitive to the power of light.
The light energy in the body of this kid next to me is so pure, so pure that there is no impurities at all.
Sadler closed his eyes and said, "Everyone has secrets. There's no need to explore them."
Morrissey smiled. "Yeah, those who need to know will know."
After that, the two stopped talking and went back to sleep.
Outside by the fire, Farm, who was pretending to sleep, tilted his head and looked towards Morrissey's tent.
Tsk, this dark elf has such sharp perception, I almost caught up with it.
Fortunately, it moved quickly. After escaping, it immediately shrank and concealed its breath, sneaking back to its own camp.
The whole process took only a dozen seconds.
The Centuriae and the Mercenaries were still busy. Farm left the fire, stretched his limbs, and yawned loudly.
There are still more than three hours until dawn, which is enough time for it to hunt.
They were busy cleaning up the camp and no one knew it had left for a short time.
Farm transformed into a streak of red light and plunged into the snow, searching for prey hiding in the dark.
An extremely powerful fire-type monster entering the snowy mountains was a disaster for the ice-type monsters. Even the monsters hiding ten meters underground were turned out and eaten, without even a chance to struggle.
After eating his fill, Farm returned to the camp contentedly and continued to doze by the fire.
In the early morning, the cold wind was howling. Most of the adventurers were sleep-deprived. They sat in front of the fire with panda eyes and ate breakfast in a listless manner.
In contrast to the others, Team Light was full of energy, each with a rosy complexion as they ate a delicious breakfast.
"Did you hear any noise at night?" Morrissey asked the others with a smile while chewing the wheat cake that Shu Li gave him.
This wheat cake tastes really good, it is the best wheat cake he has ever eaten in his life.
"It seems so." Shu Li drank a sip of hot milk as if nothing had happened. "But Farm didn't wake us up, so it's not a big deal. I didn't care."
"Me too." Angel raised his hand. "If there's any danger, Farm will protect us."
Desio nodded: "Yes, Farm is very strong."
Budno took a piece of fish from Amanda's plate and said vaguely, "Don't worry, Farm is safe."
Amanda silently looked at the little monster squatting in front of the fire and gnawing on a big fat fish.
Morrissey saw that other people's reactions were indifferent, which basically confirmed his guess.
Farm happily finished his big fat fish, yawned loudly, and said in a baby voice, "I'm going to sleep!"
After it finished speaking, it turned into a ray of light and penetrated into the back of Shu Li's right hand.
The dark elf's eyes were too sharp, so it had to run away quickly to avoid being discovered by him.
Sadler kindly reminded: "The snowy mountains are different from other places. Don't be careless."
Shu Li replied obediently: "Yes, I will pay attention."
Others echoed.
Compared to the harmony in the Light Team camp, the Hundred Man Group and the Mercenary Group were suffering, and the other three adventure teams were also in a state of decline.
At night, we were afraid and cold, so we dared not talk about anything. But during the day, we sat together, mustered up our courage, and couldn't help but discuss things with each other.
"That monster is so huge! We are like ants in front of it, so small."
"Yeah, it was really scary! I heard the noise, crawled out of the tent and took a look. I almost fainted from fright."
"Did you see the monster's appearance clearly?"
"No. The fire was out, and the light was not bright enough to see clearly."
"Anyway, all I know is that its tail is very long, and with a flick of its tail it could overturn a dozen tents."
"Its legs are so thick that it takes three people to hug it."
"Why is World of Warcraft only looking for those two teams?"
"Shh—don't let them hear us, or they'll cause us trouble."
"Obviously, this is a warning from a high-level monster."
"Are you saying we've entered the territory of a high-level monster?"
"Yes! For safety reasons, we need to speed up today and leave the territory of this high-level monster."
"I haven't slept well, how can I speed up?"
The adventurers sighed in pain. However, the Hundred Man Group and the Mercenary Group did not want to be attacked by monsters again at night, so after breakfast, they immediately broke camp and left. No matter how sleepy or tired they were, they gritted their teeth and sped up.
The small adventure team didn't want to be left behind, so they hurried to catch up.
Shu Li and the others were well prepared and walked calmly in the team, which made the other adventurers envious and jealous.
A rookie is a rookie, and has no awareness at all.
We were just lucky yesterday and escaped a disaster. If we don’t stay alert again, we’ll all be wiped out!
Team Light ignored their jealous looks and climbed the mountain leisurely.
Angel looked at the members of the Centurion and Mercenary Corps who kept falling in front of him and smiled innocently.
If they hadn't been needed to take the lead, yesterday's attack wouldn't have been just a scare tactic.
Shu Li caught a glimpse of Baimao's sinister smile and sighed softly.
As he grows older, Angel's dark skills become more and more profound. Don't offend him in the future, otherwise you will die without knowing how.
Today's journey is more difficult than yesterday's.
First, the acceleration consumed a lot of physical strength, second, the altitude sickness caused nausea and vomiting, and third, we encountered foraging monsters and fought many battles.
The hundred-man group is indeed powerful. Even when tired, they can still quickly kill the fourth-level monsters.
Since the mercenary group and other adventure teams have benefited from them, they naturally cannot stand idly by and must actively join the battle.
There were too many people, and one or two monsters were not enough to share, so Team Light just played bystander.
Anyway, in the eyes of other adventurers, they are rookies.
A newbie should have the awareness of a newbie and never try to be the first to stand out, as it will not be worth it.
"This medicine is good!" Morrissey praised while holding the bottle of medicine given to him by Shu Li.
This is a medicine for treating altitude sickness. After drinking it, the effect was immediate. The symptoms of nausea, headache and vomiting all disappeared. The effect was no worse than the medicine sold to him by Efit.
"It was prepared by Kumandi." Shu Li said proudly.
Among these little goblins, Jingjing, the academic master, has the highest level of potion making skills. This time when they go out on an adventure, he is responsible for all the potions.
Sadler said sincerely, "This is the most effective potion I have ever taken."
Morrissey narrowed his eyes and asked Kumandi with a smile, "Can you tell me what herbs are used to make this?"
Next time he will also buy some herbs and prepare them himself.
Kumandi glanced at him and said calmly, "A secret."
Most of the herbs in the recipe come from the Fairy Forest and cannot be made public.
"Uh..." Morrissey paused, then fell silent. If it had been Sperian, he would have asked a few more times, but with Kumandi, he stopped asking.
This child has a serious personality and sticks to his word, so it's best not to ask any further questions.
Shu Li rolled his eyes and said to Morrissey, "If you want some for future use, you can buy some from Kumandi!"
"Great idea!" Morrissey asked Kumandi. "How much is a bottle?"
Kumandi thought for a moment and said, "20 gold per bottle."
Morrissey's eyes lit up. "So cheap? Do you have any extra? I'll buy ten bottles first."
Efit sold him a bottle for one hundred gold coins!
Shu Li: ...
Kumandi: ...
Judging from the reaction of this dark elf, the price was obviously too low.
However, since we are friends, I will give you a discount price!
Kumandi took out ten bottles of potion from his storage bag and handed them to Morrissey, who promptly paid him 200 gold coins.
Shu Li sighed.
No wonder they say being a pharmacist is profitable. In just a short while, I earned 200 gold coins. After deducting the cost, there is still a profit of 100 gold!
Seeing this, other adventurers who were paying attention to them tentatively asked if they could sell them potions.
The truth is that the potion they drank was not very effective and could only slightly relieve the symptoms, but their bodies still felt uncomfortable. If they didn't have a stronger potion, they might not be able to survive until they reached the Snow Kingdom.
Kumandi said, "There are 20 bottles left, 50 gold coins each."
The inquiring adventurer pointed at Morrissey and asked, "You sold him for 20 gold just now, but why is it 50 gold when it comes to me?"
Kumandi said expressionlessly, "Teammate, discounted price."
The adventurer was speechless and felt really uncomfortable. He gritted his teeth, took out 50 gold coins, and reluctantly bought a bottle.
If altitude sickness becomes severe, it can be fatal.
After drinking it, the symptoms disappeared completely. The adventurer breathed a sigh of relief and quickened his pace.
“…I’ll have one too!”
"I-I want a bottle!"
"50 gold is 50 gold, my life is more important!"
In less than five minutes, all twenty bottles of medicine were sold out.
Kumandi earned a thousand gold coins in one go, making others envious.
As night fell, the adventurers found a relatively safe place and began camping.
Just like yesterday, Team Light's camp was a short distance away from the other adventurers' camps.
Set up the tent, light the fire, and prepare dinner.
Shu Li used a long spoon to stir the vegetable soup in the iron pot. When it boiled, she cracked an egg into the pot and continued stirring. Finally, she sprinkled in the soul seasoning. The nutritious and delicious egg drop vegetable soup was ready.
Ace sat down next to him and leaned down close to his ear and said, "Stay alert tonight."
"Hmm?" Shu Li felt her ears itchy and tilted her head slightly.
"The thief is targeting me." Ace's green eyes were deep.
