Chapter 340: Effortless
After receiving Shu Li's promise, Jeffrey left with tears of gratitude.
They were heading towards the third level of the maze, completely opposite to the direction of Team Light.
Before leaving, he gave Shu Li a badge, indicating that whenever he needed it, he could use the badge to ask the Mokasha Adventure Group to help him do something.
Shu Li took the badge.
Regardless of whether you will need it in the future, since the other party has given it to you sincerely, you should just obey.
After the Mokasha Adventure Group left, Team Light found a flat area and set up camp.
As night fell, everyone's stomachs were empty and they were in urgent need of food.
The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is huge. The darker it gets, the lower the temperature. Shu Li and others took out the firewood in the storage ring, lit a big fire, and set up tents around the fire to maximize the temperature.
After dinner, everyone took out the gifts given by the Mokasha Adventure Group.
More than thirty gifts of various sizes were piled together and redistributed according to personal needs.
It must be said that these gifts were all rare treasures, and any one of them was worth a fortune. Especially the map of the first to eighth levels of the maze, which was so detailed, even clearer than the one Shu Li had.
However, the eighth level maze is only half drawn.
It seems that the Mokasha Adventure Group chased Chris and Eumis to the eighth floor, suffered heavy losses, and finally had to give up, having only drawn half of the map.
Half of the map is also good. At least Shu Li and others don't have to run around like headless flies when entering the eighth level maze.
After putting away the map, Shu Li picked up the small brocade box specially given to him by Captain Jeffrey.
The small brocade box looks ordinary on the outside and is made of unremarkable material. It is the kind of thing that would not even be glanced at if placed on a table.
However, Jeffrey said that this was a treasure he found on the fifth floor and solemnly gave it as a thank you gift.
Shu Li was quite curious, so he unlocked the small brocade box and slowly opened the lid.
As the lid opened, a soft blue light bloomed from the box.
Shu Li held his breath. Seeing the familiar light, his heart beat rapidly and a strange idea popped into his mind.
No way?
Are they so lucky?
Shu Li stared with her big, KISS ME eyes, full of anticipation. When the lid of the brocade box was fully opened, a crystal clear blue bead came into view.
"Wow! This is—the Water Spirit Pearl!"
Disio roared excitedly.
The others who were still choosing gifts put down what they were holding, quickly gathered around, and stared at the blue beads in the small brocade box.
"It's really the Water Spirit Pearl!" Budno opened his mouth in surprise.
"Is this a thank-you gift from Jeffrey?" Morrissey asked Shu Li.
"He's such a good gift~" Angel said with emotion.
"It's incredible that we got the fifth-level Water Spirit Pearl so easily?" Hector was amazed.
When good luck comes, it can’t be stopped.
Seryu said, "Now that we have the Water Spirit Pearl, we don't have to get involved in the power struggle on the fifth floor."
According to Jeffrey, the fifth level of the maze is divided into different factions. If they want to find the Water Spirit Pearl, they must deal with those overlords.
Although Team Light was incredibly powerful, they couldn't defend against the overlords' overwhelming numbers, and engaging in a fight wasted time and energy.
Now that I have the Water Spirit Pearl in my hand, all my worries will be solved.
They just need to walk quietly to the entrance of the sixth level maze.
If someone is so foolish as to stand in your way, don't blame them for being cruel.
Leon frowned and said, "It's better to be careful."
He has lived in the Snow Country for ten years and has seen many different adventure groups.
The adventurers coming out of the Snow Mountain Maze are not good people. Most of them are full of murderous aura, and you can tell at a glance that they have killed many people in the maze.
Once, he encountered a group of adventurers who were molesting innocent girls on the road.
The desire on their faces was not concealed at all. They looked at the girl as if she were a piece of merchandise, and their actions were beyond the legal boundaries of the Snow Country.
Leon and the soldiers who patrol with him never show mercy to such adventurers.
Use the most brutal way to warn adventurers that once they leave the maze and enter civilized society, they should abide by local laws and regulations.
The Snow Country is not a place for them to do whatever they want.
Those adventurers were thrown into jail and punished, and only then did they realize their mistake.
The adventurer who escaped from prison put away his ugly desires, tried hard to make himself look like an ordinary person, and became a good citizen who abided by the law.
The capital of the Snow Country can restrain those adventurers, but the snow mountain maze indulges their ambitions.
The Light Team consists of two beautiful girls, five innocent fairies, and a greedy little dragon, all of whom are coveted by other adventurers.
Sometimes, trouble comes to you even when you don't want it.
They must not let down their guard and treat the fifth floor as an ordinary maze just because they easily obtained the Water Spirit Pearl.
It is a small world of fighting with others.
Shu Li put away the newly acquired Water Spirit Pearl and said seriously: "Leon's concerns are not unreasonable. We really can't take it lightly."
He took out the map given by the Mokasha Adventure Group, found the detailed diagram of the fifth floor, and showed it to everyone.
"This map is excellent. It clearly marks the areas of each major power. We just need to follow this road and head north to find the entrance to the sixth-level maze."
Others came closer to examine it and praised the map highly.
Kumandi nodded and said, "The route is good, but the road is difficult to travel."
"Huh?" Shu Li lowered his head and took a closer look, a little dazed.
He was busy avoiding all the major forces, but chose the most difficult path.
Why don't the major forces share this path?
Because this road is full of mountains, rivers and canyons, it is too tiring to travel through mountains and rivers.
Shu Li puffed out his cheeks, grabbed Farm, who had turned into a little monster, and rubbed its round belly.
"It doesn't matter, it will take us flying."
Who dares to stop a high-level magical beast comparable to the tenth level?
Farm was full and feeling sleepy.
It hadn't had a good sleep since entering the desert. Now that it was full and satisfied, it comfortably let Shu Li rub and squeeze it.
"There are at least ten adventure groups occupying one side of the fifth floor." Sadler pointed at the map.
The person who drew the map knew all the ten adventure groups very well and made detailed annotations next to the map, except for making a table.
Each adventure group had over a thousand members, and the ten combined totaled over ten thousand, making them quite large. No wonder Geoffrey had earnestly advised them not to go to the fifth level maze.
I guess they have suffered losses and have a deep understanding of the situation, so they would give a warning.
Unfortunately, Team Light is destined to disappoint Jeffrey's efforts.
Shu Li tilted his head slightly, looked at the Elf King's perfect profile, and said, "We are not afraid of numbers, we are strong enough."
I guess no one else has any concrete idea of the Elf King's true combat power.
While searching for the Wood Elf, Shu Li accidentally traveled to a battlefield in ancient times and witnessed the Elf King's devastating attack power.
Just cast a high-level spell and you can destroy an entire division of skeletons and necromancers.
The Elf King can kill the ten thousand adventurers in the fifth level maze in one move.
After hearing Shu Li's words, the others subconsciously looked at the Elf King disguised as Ace, and became involuntarily restrained.
The atmosphere suddenly became dull and Shu Li sighed inwardly.
No matter how hard we tried to liven up the atmosphere, it was impossible to return to the previous relaxed state.
"Everyone is tired today, let's go back to the tent and rest first. We still have to travel tomorrow, so we all need to get enough rest." Shu Li put away the map.
The sandstorm made them deviate from the correct direction. When they wake up tomorrow, they have to find a way to get back to the original path.
After distributing the gifts, everyone got two treasures, and everyone returned to their tents one after another.
Shu Li sat in front of the fire, woke up Farm, told it to keep watch, and then slowly lifted the curtain of the tent.
For some reason, Kumandi preferred to live in a tent by himself rather than sleep with them.
Shu Li bent down and entered the tent, only to see the Elf King had taken off his coat, revealing his golden hair. He was leaning against the pillow in a relaxed posture, concentrating on reading the book in his hand.
Swallowing subconsciously, he entered cautiously.
Tonight, there were only him and the Elf King in the tent.
A tent for three people, with ample space and wide beds, more than enough for two people to lie down.
Shu Li touched the bed where she usually slept, her thick eyelashes trembling as she stole a glance at the blond man who was reading.
His gaze moved down from the handsome face, passing the fair neck, the sexy collarbone, the slightly open collar of the shirt... and finally fell on his chest.
A blush slowly crept up Shu Li's cheeks.
