Chapter 338 A Pile of Thank-You Gifts
When leaving the palace, the goblins did not do much disguise, they just folded their wings behind their backs and changed the shape of their ears, but kept their hair color, eyes, skin and facial features the same.
Their disguise magic is not as powerful as the Elf King's, and they can only change their appearance by using hair dye potions and drinking potions.
Due to the short time and sparse population in the desert, the goblins became lazy.
Who would have thought that in such a sandstorm, we would encounter an adventure group in distress.
The situation was critical, saving lives was the priority, and they had no time to disguise themselves.
All the more than 30 members of the adventure team escaped safely and were extremely excited. They stood upright, tilted their necks, and looked eagerly at their savior on the back of the fire dragon lizard.
Because of the sandstorm that blocked their view, they couldn't see their savior clearly.
Shu Li was wearing a black hooded cloak and was the first to jump off Farm's back. She tiptoed and landed lightly on the sand.
After he stood up, the other members of Team Light jumped down one after another.
They all wore hooded cloaks that covered a third of their faces.
Even so, the members of the adventure group were stunned by the sight of the seventeen young magicians and swordsmen in front of them.
Their team includes many magicians and swordsmen who are over a hundred years old. They have experienced countless hardships and have explored the snow mountain maze for twenty years. They are a fairly mature adventure group.
However, when faced with a raging sandstorm, even low-level wizards were helpless.
The sandstorm disrupted the natural elements in the air. After the magicians used up the magic power stored in their bodies, they basically became disabled. The swordsmen were unable to take care of themselves. If they were not rescued, death would be waiting for them.
Thanks to the favor of the God of Light, they were saved.
But what puzzled them was that the adventurers who rescued them were incredibly young.
Young people are often not strong enough, so how did they resist the sandstorm?
In addition, which magician’s contracted beast is this huge and terrifying high-level magical beast?
Soon, the adventure group turned their attention to the only dark elf.
It seems that he is the core of this adventure team.
Morrissey noticed the adventuring group's inquiring gaze, raised his handsome eyebrows, took the initiative to step forward, stood beside Shu Li, and stared at the middle-aged swordsman in the lead with his blood-red eyes.
The middle-aged swordsman was the leader of the adventure group. He felt uncomfortable being stared at by the dark elf.
Why would a group of people from the light camp team up with a group of people from the dark camp?
Aren’t you afraid of being plotted against and betrayed?
Dark elves have always been cunning, evil, bloodthirsty, and have no moral bottom line. They are not good partners.
This group of young magicians and swordsmen are likely to suffer a great loss.
The leader of the adventure team wanted to give them a warning, but he was wary of the other party's strength and had received a favor, so he temporarily suppressed his impulse, raised his right hand to cover his chest, and solemnly saluted Shu Li and others.
"I'm Jeffrey, leader of the Mokasha Adventure Group. Thank you for saving us. I'm not sure what kind of thank-you gift you'd like, but as long as we have it, we'll give it to you."
Seeing their leader salute, the other members of the Mokasha Adventure Group thanked Team Light in unison.
At the urging of their parents, three children aged seven or eight knelt on one knee in front of Shu Li and others.
"Hello, Captain Jeffrey, you are too polite. We are all from the light camp. It is our duty to help each other. There is no need for thanks." Shu Li declined with a friendly smile.
Mokasha Adventure Group?
Sounds familiar.
He has never been able to remember foreigners' names and has to hear them several times before he can remember them clearly.
I seem to have heard someone mention this Mokasha Adventure Group not long ago.
Yes, it was the winged man who almost fought with them on the second floor!
I think her name is Izizi?
He said that Chris angered the Mokasha Adventure Group and was hunted and besieged for several years. Finally, he was forced into the eighth-level maze and his whereabouts have been unknown since then.
If his pronunciation is correct, the Mokasha Adventure Group mentioned by Yi Ren should be the group of people in front of him.
However, the number of people doesn't match.
We learned from Yi Ren that the Mokasha Adventure Group has more than 200 people, which is a fairly large team.
Counting the group of people in front of me, including the three children, there are thirty-four people in total.
Seeing Shu Li refuse the thank-you gift, Jeffrey said anxiously: "How can that be? The thank-you gift must be given!"
Someone saved their lives, so they have to show their gratitude no matter what, otherwise they would appear ungrateful.
Jeffrey reached into his storage bag and took out a small brocade box, holding it in both hands and handing it to Shu Li.
"This is a treasure I dug up in the fifth-level maze. I'm giving it to you as a thank you gift. I hope you don't mind."
Shu Li saw that the brocade box was small in size and ordinary in appearance, and the items inside should not be particularly valuable.
He looked to Ace, asking for his opinion.
Ace nodded slightly, indicating that he could accept it.
Shu Li no longer hesitated and took the small brocade box under Jeffrey's sincere gaze.
Jeffrey's face lit up with joy and he called out to his teammates behind him.
"It's your turn to express your gratitude."
Soon, more than thirty people took out their thank-you gifts and lined up in a well-trained manner to give gifts to everyone in Team Light.
"Thank you, this is the rare mineral I collected, please accept it."
"This is a beauty potion I made. One bottle will keep your skin hydrated for three months."
"I almost thought I'd never see my wife and children again. You saved an ordinary family. Thank you so much! This is a bow and arrow I made using unique materials from the maze. It can penetrate the defenses of seventh-level monsters. I hope it brings you good luck."
"Do you need some herbs? These are rare herbs I collected in the maze. Feel free to take them."
"I drew a new version of the maze map myself, covering floors one to eight, with complete coordinates and detailed annotations to ensure you won't get lost."
The members of Team Light were overwhelmed with gifts.
It was obvious that although this adventuring group had been badly damaged by the sandstorm, they were all laden with treasures and were very wealthy. The gifts they casually took out would fetch a fortune if sold outside.
However, compared with the precious life, this thank you is nothing.
After finally delivering the gifts, the members of the Mokasha Adventure Group returned to their original positions, stood in a row, and waited for their leader Jeffrey to give orders.
Jeffrey saluted Shu Li again and asked, "Are you going to the fifth level of the maze?"
Shu Li smiled: "Yes."
Jeffrey said solemnly, "I advise you not to go to the fifth floor for the time being."
"Why?" Dizio asked in confusion, "The fifth floor is dangerous? There are many powerful monsters?"
Jeffrey met his innocent gaze and frowned, saying, "It's indeed dangerous, but monsters are not as scary as humans."
The fifth floor is full of precious crystal ores and magic stones, many of which are not found in the outside world. All adventure teams that enter the fifth floor are driven by interests and desires. They forcibly divide the area, claim it as their own, and prohibit other adventure teams from collecting.
The disputes arising from this are endless.
If the new adventure team fails to see the situation clearly, they will either be swallowed up by the major forces, die a violent death, or become slaves and be locked up in a mine, digging for the rest of their lives.
It was a cruel little world with no order, no morality, no restraint, only the strong being respected and the weak being preyed upon by the strong.
"You are too few in number. I'm afraid you won't be able to compete with the larger forces once you reach the fifth floor," Jeffrey said worriedly. "If you really want to go, gather multiple adventure teams and act together."
Morrissey stroked his smooth chin and said, "That sounds interesting."
For the dark elves, this kind of resource grabbing is commonplace in Vanaku.
Jeffrey couldn't help but glare at the dark elf and said in a deep voice, "I'm not exaggerating. Please be fully prepared and handle it with caution."
Shu Li nodded: "Thank you, I will pay attention."
"Well, it's time for us to leave. Thank you again for saving my life," Jeffrey said sincerely.
"Please wait a moment." Seeing them about to leave, Shu Li hurriedly called out, "There's something I want to ask you."
Jeffrey paused. "Please speak. I will tell you everything I know."
Shu Li asked, "Do you know Chris?"
"Chris?" Jeffrey was stunned.
"Yes, a magician who likes to play pranks." Shu Li said.
"Chris... Magician Chris..." Jeffrey murmured, and a young man's face that he would never forget in his life appeared in his mind. His facial features suddenly twisted and became hideous.
When his teammates heard the name "Chris", they couldn't help but whisper, and their expressions were very subtle.
Seeing their intense reaction, Shu Li finally confirmed that the Mokasha team was the adventure group that Yi Ren mentioned was chasing Chris.
It's really no coincidence.
When saving someone, he unexpectedly saved his "enemy".
The goblins are protecting their own people, so the Mokasha Adventure Group chased Chris to the eighth floor, and they must give them an explanation.
Jeffrey suddenly looked up, looked at Shu Li and asked hesitantly: "What is your relationship with Chris?"
Shu Li said solemnly: "He is my brother."
Jeffrey: ...
Other members of the Mokasha Adventure Group: ...
