Chapter 5: No Medicine Allowed
"It's really unlucky. A team of silver-level adventurers almost died in a 'normal' rated dungeon. It's too embarrassing to tell others about it."
While complaining, Stellan skillfully cut off the minotaur's horns with an enchanted knife and stuffed them into her space backpack.
As a noble pure-blooded elf, she has been traveling for fifty years. With her superb archery skills, she has become a silver-level adventurer. She is quite powerful and can easily defeat twenty Fili at the same time.
Her team is called "Morning Wind". In addition to her, there is one silver-level member and two bronze-level members who are about to be promoted. The commission completion rate of the entire team is above 80%.
As a result, we almost died in the Sen Dungeon.
A bronze-level companion was dragged into the swamp by skeleton monsters and rotten wild dogs. When he was rescued, he had two negative buffs, "poisonous" and "corrupt", on him.
Although the corresponding antidote was prepared,
The partner in charge of keeping the potion had opened an ordinary treasure chest long before, and the result was—
【Teleportation trap triggered!!!】
Now I can't find anyone.
Stellan's profession is a high-level ranger, and the other silver-level partner's profession is a high-level sword and shield warrior. Neither of them knows healing skills.
So I could only watch my friend being poisoned and die.
The Sword and Shield Warrior was a reckless man who got easily carried away. Seeing his two companions fall to the ground in such a miserable way, he suddenly went into berserker mode and chopped all the way from the upper level to the middle level, killing anyone who stood in his way!
However, because of anger, they lost their observation ability, and when they were passing the cliff, they were hit by a large iron ball that suddenly rushed out from the corner, and they both jumped.
They both died happily.
"Who would have thought that there would be an iron ball hidden there!"
Stellan kicked the door, and with a bang, she opened the stairs leading to the lower area, which was the mine.
But she did not enter the door. Instead, she threw a stone to test it first to avoid a sneak attack from the enemy behind the door!
It's not that she is naturally cautious, but this damn Thane dungeon forces her to be cautious!
She encountered more pitfalls along the way than she had in the previous ten years.
Take the monsters for example, some are disguised as corpses, some are hiding in the swamp, some are hanging from the ceiling, some are hiding in the corner, and some are clinging to the side of the suspension bridge.
"The insidiousness here is comparable to the 'difficult' rating. If the monsters were stronger, it would definitely be rated difficult."
Although the traps were insidious, Stellan discovered that this dungeon had a big flaw - the monsters were too weak.
Skeletons, goblins, rotten wild dogs, blood mosquitoes... They are all low-level monsters. Two or three strong farmers can kill one with courage. Only the minotaur is relatively formidable, but it is just a stronger low-level monster.
There is no real elite monster. Even though she can set unexpected traps to ambush people, if she is cautious, most of the traps will be useless.
"If you find a way out, go back quickly. Nothing has gone well since we came here."
Actually, they had no other purpose in entering the Senn Dungeon. They just came here for tourism and wanted to see what the simplest dungeon in the legend looked like.
But when I looked at it, I realized that this was not the simplest thing, it was the most insidious.
She could tell at a glance that something strange had happened here. The so-called change referred to the great changes in the layout of the dungeon, the types of monsters, etc.
According to records in books, the dungeons thousands of years ago underwent frequent changes, with changes occurring every day, making exploration extremely difficult.
And now, it has not changed for decades, so many dungeons have been mapped out.
The Sen Dungeon is the first dungeon to undergo a mutation in the past thirty years.
"If we can come up with a guide for this place, I'm sure we can make a lot of money," Stellan felt that she had discovered a business opportunity. "Take a few days off and come back. We will definitely be the first to come up with a guide!"
Keep moving forward, through the spiral staircase, kill the ghost that attacks from behind, avoid the boulders falling from the ceiling, and kill the disguised treasure chest monsters. Finally, you come to an open mine full of blood-colored crystals.
Stellan suddenly stopped.
The sharp blood-red crystal clusters illuminated the entire mine in red. Although it was cool, it was not as cool as the "person" in front of her.
He was a very tall knight covered in bronze armor. His axe-shaped helmet showed his majesty, and the big sword and shield in his hands showed that he had experienced wind and rain.
The patterns on the armor are complex and mysterious, and their meaning is unclear.
At this moment, he had his back to Stellan, and from his posture you could tell that he was very strong!
Activate the combat skill [Fighting Spirit Perception]!
Stellan's left eye lit up slightly, and she immediately sensed the other party's surging fighting spirit.
Very strong, stronger than me and Bigger (Sword and Shield Warrior) combined!
"Uh, hello?"
After thinking it over, Stellan decided to say hello first.
Because I can't see what the other party looks like under the armor, and the aura doesn't seem like a monster, what if it's a friendly enemy?
The Crucible Knight slowly turned around, and just when Stellan was about to say something, he suddenly rushed over!
"Sure enough, they are not friendly!"
Stellan cursed, then jumped high up lightly on her toes, drew her bow and shot nearly ten arrows in an instant.
The Crucible Knight raised his solid shield and blocked them one by one.
No harm!
"No, raising the shield is too foul!"
In the city lord's room, Gong Qiying crossed his hands and held his chin, staring intently at the battle scene coming from the crystal ball.
"The shield poke is invincible, but it's a pity that the equipment of the Forge Knight cannot be replaced."
He is collecting combat data.
The C-level Crucible Knight is the highest-level soldier he can currently use. In addition, there are Black Knight, Silver Knight, etc. at the same level.
At present, F-level monsters only need single-digit mental power, E-level monsters need double-digit mental power, and D-level monsters reach triple digits, but no more than 500. As for C-level monsters, there are both three-digit and four-digit mental power, and the span is quite large. There are many that he cannot summon.
After inheriting Godwin's memories, Gong Qiying also had the ability to observe the strength of others. If his analysis was correct, Stellan had at least one upper-level profession and one mid-level profession.
Everyone can have multiple professions, and the profession levels are from low to high: low level, middle level, high level, king level, holy level and legendary.
The adventurers' levels of iron, bronze, silver, and gold are determined simply by the contribution they receive from completing commissions.
Stellan's strength is also a backbone among adventurers, so Gong Qiying wants to see to what extent the Crucible Knight can fight her.
After only ten minutes of fighting, Stellan was already showing signs of fatigue.
Ordinary arrows are ineffective against the armor and shield of the Crucible Knight. Only by using "magic power" to enchant the arrows and then shooting them with powerful "combat skills" can they penetrate the weaker parts of the armor.
But this would greatly increase the consumption of her physical strength.
The gaps in the Crucible Knight's armor were shot into a hedgehog, but his movements were still swift and fierce, and there was no noticeable weakening at all.
Stellan retreated to avoid the Crucible Knight's ground tremor, but her arm was cut by the protruding gravel. She was about to fight back, but -
A golden light flashed, and a pair of golden wings suddenly appeared behind the Crucible Knight! ?
Danger!
The two words jumped into her mind, and she subconsciously rolled to the side. The next moment, the Crucible Knight swooped down!
"ah!"
Even though she dodged as quickly as possible, Stellan's waist was still cut bloody by the sharp wings.
"Healing potion, healing potion, luckily I brought some with me!"
The Furnace Knight's dive widened the distance between the two, giving her the perfect opportunity to drink the medicine!
Stellan quickly pulled out the cork, poured the red healing potion into her mouth, and glanced at it casually.
The Crucible Knight rushed towards her madly with red eyes, as if he was stimulated!
I just want to drink some medicine, why do you have to do this?
Please give me some monthly recommendation tickets. It would be even better if I could read it later.
