Chapter 271 Team Building and Dungeon

Two days later.

A town somewhere.

"Wow! A wanted warrant was issued by the Truth Society itself. Who is this person?"

"I don't know. It just says that he is a pagan. Those who provide information to the association will be rewarded, and if they catch him, they will be blessed by God."

"I can fucking read!"

On the bulletin board in the center of the town, people dressed strangely were talking to each other.

"White hair is a rare hair color. I wish I could see it. It would be a blessing from God."

A strong man looked longing.

"Come on, just you?"

"What do you mean!"

…

“It’s quite efficient.”

Ji Ruo stood in front of the notice board, looking at the hand-drawn image of himself on the wanted poster, and couldn't help but sigh: "I never thought that I would be a wanted man now."

After leaving Ruang Town, Ji Ruo felt that his current strength was too low, so he used his [Absolute Sense of Direction] to find a suitable place for training.

The practice of Bajitian has extremely high requirements on the external environment. Baji coincides with the shape of Bagua, so it is quite difficult to find a practice site that meets the requirements.

However, with the help of [Absolute Sense of Direction] and the Anywhere Door, Ji Ruo still found one.

Because he didn't know the exact distance, he kept going back and forth through the portal. It took Ji Ruo two days to finally find this place.

I just don't know what kind of environment this place is like yet.

"Ji Ruo, get ready to go! Stop joining in the fun!"

There were shouts coming from outside the crowd. Ji Ruo stopped to think and replied, "Here I come!"

Then, the golden-haired Ji Ruo pushed the crowd away, causing the people around him to make a lot of dissatisfied noises.

"Excuse me, can you lend me that?"

"What are you pushing?"

"Don't push, don't push! I haven't seen it yet!"

"Who hit me with something hard?!"

However, because the crowd was too chaotic, no one except a few people around Ji Ruo knew that it was Ji Ruo who caused the riot.

Those who knew wanted to catch Ji Ruo, the seemingly powerless little guy, and teach him a lesson. However, for some reason, Ji Ruo was as slippery as a loach and they could not catch him. They could only watch him leave.

Although Ji Ruo's appearance was exactly the same as the one on the wanted warrant, no one thought of him as a wanted man.

After all, the wanted order emphasized white hair, but at this moment Ji Ruo clearly had blonde hair - yes, Ji Ruo had also used the invincible power of King Kong to dye his hair...

Although it is only a small change, it is well known that disguises such as changing hair color, changing hairstyle, wearing glasses, etc., although seemingly useless, are truly the strongest disguises.

It is impossible to be seen through (乐).

…

Outside the crowd, Ji Ruo found some of his new teammates, rubbed his hands, and said excitedly: "Emily, are all the people gathered? We are about to go to the dungeon, so excited."

Emily: “?”

She has smooth blond hair and deep blue eyes, fair skin, a beautiful baby face, and a petite and soft figure... ahem.

This person is Ji Ruo's 'captain', the initiator of the team.

"What copy? We are going to a dungeon!" A man with a broadsword on his back looked at Ji Ruo and said with some dissatisfaction: "Emily, even if you can't find anyone, you can't find a burden!

You know what a dungeon is, don't you? "

"Laurent, don't say that. Ji Ruo is a fighter."

"Brawler? Humph!" The swordsman named Lawrence snorted coldly: "What's the point of a brawler entering a dungeon? Do you expect him to punch through the monster's hard shell? What a joke!"

"Oh." Emily smiled apologetically at Ji Ruo, then pulled Lauren and whispered, "But if we don't have enough people, we can't get in. You should say less. The fighter is very strong, and you can let him carry the materials you harvest..."

Lauren said persistently, "Look at him, he's as skinny as a monkey, how strong can he be?"

When Ji Ruo heard this, he smiled and said nothing.

How strong am I? I'll scare you to death if I tell you!

"Anyway, we are a team now, so you should keep quiet." Emily said, and then she said to Ji Ruo with an apologetic look: "Ji Ruo, don't take it to heart. That's how Lauren is."

Ji Ruo nodded: "It's okay, I don't mind."

Then Ji Ruo looked at the other two people.

The two men said nothing. One of them was wearing a black robe, and neither his body shape nor his gender could be identified.

However, he was leaning on a staff and the skin on his wrist was delicate and white, so he was probably a wizard.

The other person was a man wearing leather armor and carrying a longbow on his back. He had a delicate appearance.

Emily said, "Now we have enough people, let's go in without delay."

It seemed that no one intended to introduce Ji Ruo. After all, Ji Ruo was a "fighter", and a fighter who was so thin at that, he didn't look like a strong man at all.

Ji Ruo didn't care. He just thought it was interesting and wanted to form a team temporarily.

Afterwards, the group of five arrived at the gate of the dungeon, and after a simple registration, they entered the deep passage.

…

"That's too much! Lord Kama-sama, how could you bear it when he treated you like that? If it were me, I would definitely give him two slaps!"

"That is to say, if I were Lord Kagami, I would definitely kill that guy!"

In Ji Ruo's Xingxuan Cave, Jonathan and others looked at the projection on the sky of the cave, each of them filled with indignation. It was Ji Ruo who was looked down upon, but they were the most angry.

In the center of Xingxuan Cave, the clay statue slightly opened its eyes and said softly, "Okay, it's not a big deal. I'm not angry, so why are you angry?"

"But you are a god!" Henry said angrily, "They are looking down on a god!"

The statue smiled and said nothing.

To be honest, he felt really sad when Jonathan and others sacrificed themselves to help him secure his throne as a god.

But unexpectedly, after the disintegration of the Wanhua Arsenal, the incarnation of the God of Truth temporarily transformed Ji Ruo's Xingxuan Cave Heaven, inexplicably making his Xingxuan Cave Heaven possess properties similar to the realm of the God of Faith.

As his believers, Jonathan and others can naturally continue to live in the divine realm after death.

Xingxuan Cave Heaven is Ji Ruo's kingdom of God, and it is no problem for it to receive believers.

Moreover, they can continue to provide faith for Ji Ruo, but this faith can only be used to restore the consumed incense and divine power, but cannot allow Ji Ruo to make any further progress.

But this is enough. The identity of the God of Incense is an unexpected surprise for Ji Ruo.

Now that Xingxuan Cave Heaven is fully formed and has similar characteristics to the divine realm of faith, Ji Ruo no longer hears that the inside and outside of Xingxuan Cave Heaven are relatively isolated. The subconscious controls the statue of the deity to realize the automation of the believers' prayers.

Ji Ruo was able to use this method to divide his mind into two parts. Normally, he could also open his divine vision and let the believers in Xingxuan Cave Heaven watch "movies" or something like that.

The statue comforts the believers while sending the most popular "applications" to the original body.

For Ji Ruo, this is important "audience feedback"!

Ji Ruo couldn't help laughing when he received the message from the statue.

His main purpose this time was to find an environment to cultivate the Eight Extreme Heavens, and to see if there was a chance to shoot the 'beginning'.

"Everyone, please be careful. The Lahapa underground city has been explored to the eighth level, but an underground city is an underground city, and danger is everywhere. We still have to be careful.

Our target this time is the ice bats on the third floor..."

As soon as we entered the dungeon, Emily emphasized the mission again.

Ji Ruo began to observe the surrounding situation curiously.

Normally, a dungeon is a naturally generated monster cave. There are many treasures in each dungeon. In addition to the usual supplies, there are also magic weapons, magic scrolls, various potions... and so on.

What's weird is that the medicines are in bottles.

Not only that, if you are lucky enough, you might even get a blessing from a certain god!

Moreover, the resources there seem to be inexhaustible, making it a dangerous purchasing place.

Those humans or other intelligent creatures who have some strength, don't want to go to work, and like to live a free and unfettered life, usually like to enter the dungeon to "purchase goods" to maintain their daily living expenses...

On the surface, this seems to be the case, but in fact, Ji Ruo also learned about it from the main gods.

This dungeon is first and foremost related to the Earth Mother. In a sense, it is the 'diseased area on the skin' of the Earth Mother - in simple terms, it is equivalent to acne.

The geomagnetic atmosphere within the area is chaotic, breeding a large number of monsters while also generating a variety of precious mineral veins.

Then, because the gods on the mainland do not allow organizations like the Adventurer's Guild to exist, those low-level gods lack the means to preach, so they collect all kinds of treasures and put them into various dungeons, using this method to develop powerful believers.

There is no Adventurers' Guild, but there are Adventurers.

Normally, some nobles or businessmen would apply to the town hall or the church, and then the town hall or the church would issue a commission, waiting for adventurers to accept it.

Not only are the fees high, but the initial commission has changed hands several times, and by the time it reaches the adventurer, there isn't much left.

But even so, there is still an endless stream of adventurers accepting commissions.

After all, adventurers are a group of people who do not have stable jobs and income.

"...That's probably the situation." After Emily repeated the commission she and her friends had given her, and made a plan, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Ji Ruo, who looked like he was in a trance, and couldn't help but ask, "Ji Ruo? Ji Ruo!"

"Ah? Ah, what?"

"Did you hear what I just said?"

"I...heard it." Ji Ruo said with a guilty conscience.

In fact, he and Emily were not very familiar with each other. Previously, under the guidance of his [Absolute Sense of Direction], he relied on the magic door to travel back and forth. Even Ji Ruo himself could not remember how far he had run.

The training ground seemed to be nearby. Ji Ruo saw that there was not only a dungeon but also various team invitations. He thought it was fresh and signed up for a team at random.

And Emily was the recruiter at that time.

The Laharpa Dungeon belongs to the Empire. To enter, you must form a team, with a minimum of five people.

And after being released, no matter how many people are still alive, they have to pay taxes.

Taxes are calculated based on the number of people employed. Even if there are staff reductions, they are still calculated based on the number of people employed.

"So, what is the plan I just made?"

“Um… this…” Ji Ruo’s eyes rolled around, and he activated his [Farsight] skill, and tentatively said, “Enter the third floor, catch the ice bat, and then get out?”

Then Ji Ruo was stunned.

The skill of [Foresight] is the achievement reward triggered by Ji Ruo being invited to participate in the formulation of the 'New Martial Arts Examination' when he sells his 'created' martial arts to the Education Department after the college entrance examination.

This is also the source of Ji Ruo's achievement of a pair of color-changing contact lenses.

Its main function is to be able to see the success rate of the plan when participating in the formulation of the plan.

The skill [Foresight] showed that the success rate of this plan he casually came up with was as high as 100%...

Hearing this, Lauren sneered, "See, he didn't listen to anything. Emily, I really don't know why you brought such a burden in. Even if it's just to make up the numbers, it's not necessary. We will have to give away an extra piece of the spoils. It's not worth it at all."

At this moment, the magician who was completely hidden in the black robe suddenly spoke. His voice was so hoarse that it was still impossible to tell his gender.

"Well, now that you're here, what's the point of talking about this? Just shut up."

"you!"

Lauren frowned and raised his hand to grab the hilt of the sword behind him. For a moment, the atmosphere became solemn.

"Hey, hey, everyone, stop arguing, we are teammates now..." Emily quickly came out to smooth things over, and then said to Ji Ruo with a bit of annoyance: "Ji Ruo, you are a fighter, and your fighting skills are not very useful against the monsters in the dungeon, so from now on you just follow us."

Ji Ruo nodded with a strange look on his face: "I understand."

Just now, he tried to remove himself from the plan, and used the [Foresight] skill again to check, and found that the success rate had dropped by 70%...

So that's why. It's because of my existence that the mission success rate is 100%.

"snort!"

Lauren snorted coldly and walked forward. "Then according to the plan, I will explore the way, Emily, you should pay attention to chanting at all times, and make sure that you can perform healing spells in the first place when danger occurs... As for the others, how to cooperate in the dungeon, I don't need to say more, right?"

The others nodded slightly to show that they understood.

Afterwards, everyone moved forward slowly.

The light in the dungeon was dim and not particularly quiet. There were faint roars of unknown monsters coming from the depths, which sounded a bit creepy.

In the Xingxuan Cave, the blonde girl huddled in Jonathan's arms and trembled because of the horrible atmosphere. Jonathan comforted her in a low voice.

The others were also talking in low voices. None of them had ever seen what a dungeon looked like, and they were both frightened and surprised at the moment.

Ji Ruo thought for a moment, then quietly took out a small flag from his fourth-dimensional pocket and whispered, "Look everyone, this is the Lahapa Underground City. We are currently on the first floor. The people in front are my teammates on this underground city trip. Her name is Emily, and she is a priest. She seems to be saying something. Let's get closer and listen..."

[Sense of Immersion] Ji Ruo was put into the role of the "voice-over". No one present noticed Ji Ruo's abnormality, but they just felt that the Lahapa underground city seemed to be more gloomy than usual.

Ji Ruo, who caused all this, seemed unaware of it. He slowly approached Emily with a small flag in his hand, got close to her, and led the believers to listen to the chanting at a close distance.

The characters in the 'plot' cannot hear the 'voice-over'...

Emily held a small staff in her hands and kept muttering something in a low voice.

Although Ji Ruo did not feel the so-called elemental fluctuations, he could hear Emily constantly muttering in a low voice: "Great Goddess of Life...Great Goddess of Life..."

Ji Ruo raised his eyebrows.

Repeat skill reading in advance?

The black-robed man suddenly whispered, "Be careful, a monster has discovered us!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruo used his spiritual sense to scan the area ahead and immediately discovered that eighty meters ahead, a group of flying monsters were rushing towards this place.

“Buzz——”

Still the old devil~
