Chapter 66: Monster Land
The Abyss Mage with his shield broken naturally could not escape the clutches of Gu Sanqiu and others, or rather, the dozen or so talismans had successfully killed the Abyss Mage and his shield together.
"Hurry up and take a look. It seems that these Abyss Mages all carry some good things. Those are the most precious treasures."
Xingqiu rubbed his hands expectantly. " We should have good luck. I hope we can get some precious treasures. This will make us much more money faster than working hard to get commissions from the Adventurer's Guild."
"Who commissioned it? You?"
Gu Sanqiu's face was full of disbelief. If there was any similarity between him and Xingqiu, it was probably that they had never lacked money to spend, and they were both the type who didn't need to deliberately save money.
He went to the Adventurer's Guild to do a commission, and from the sound of it, it seemed that he went there just for the money. Who would believe that!
"Hey, Sanqiu, don't believe him. This guy takes on commissions from the Adventurer's Association, or does heroic deeds, just to gain merit and reputation, so that he can show off in front of his peers."
Chongyun looked disdainful and said, "This guy is just like that. You'll just have to get used to it."
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"
(╯°Д°)╯
Xingqiu was enraged and slashed at Chongyun with his sword: "Take my sword, bastard!"
"Okay, you two stop messing around and go see what the Abyss Mage left behind. Give me that piece of metal."
After finding the piece of silver-white metal, Gu Sanqiu carefully wrapped his right hand with elemental power and then gently picked it up.
It feels very light in the hand, just like a piece of plastic.
But the next second, Gu Sanqiu's right hand felt a dull pain. He glanced at the painful area and found that it was the place that was injured by the Abyss Mage's water shield defense counterattack.
"Hmm, this thing can actually stimulate the elemental power remaining in the wound."
Gu Sanqiu formed a seal with his left hand, aimed it at his right wrist and gently tapped it. A ball of dark water element was pressed out of his body.
After gently bringing this ball of elemental force close to the silver-white metal, a dazzling light appeared on the metal sheet, slowly and steadily destroying this ball of strange elemental force.
"Well, what's the principle?"
Gu Sanqiu couldn’t understand why there was a restraining relationship between the power of the Abyss Mage and the metal piece?
"Sanqiu, we found something."
Xingqiu came over holding a branch with a blue thread running through it, and Chongyun followed behind him holding two small and exquisite scrolls.
"Well, no wonder, it's actually a dead branch from the earth vein, and it looks to be in pretty good condition. No wonder it was difficult to remove this guy's shield just now."
Chongyun looked helpless: "The only things left are these two Demon Sealing Scrolls, but we can't understand what's on them. Strictly speaking, only the Earth Vein Dead Branch should be useful."
"This piece of metal seems harmless to humans. Try to see if you can successfully suppress your pure yang body. If you can, we will retreat now."
Xingqiu frowned: "Are you worried about something? I feel like you're very anxious."
"Nonsense, I'm naturally anxious."
"Roar!"
"Wu-oh!"
Shouts that sounded like the other party's mentality was exploding came from all directions. Gu Sanqiu looked around and quickly probed outward with his mental power.
"Wow, Rock Shield Hillmen, Rock Shield Hill thugs, and a bunch of archers with strange attributes are rushing towards us."
"Don't test whether that thing is useful here, retreat!"
Xingqiu never argued with Gu Sanqiu's judgment, as he knew that guy would not joke about such things.
Moreover, from the various roars just now, it was clear that the other party was expressing various extremely unfriendly emotions towards them, such as "I am very angry", "I am very furious", "I want to kill you", etc.
If you don't escape now, it will be even more difficult to escape when you are surrounded!
In a hidden cave covered by vines and dead branches, Gu Sanqiu pushed aside the cover blocking the entrance and took a sneak peek outside.
"Well, besides those difficult-to-deal-with meat shields like the Hilliard Thugs, guess what else I found outside."
Xingqiu, who was observing Chongyun's reaction, looked back at Gu Sanqiu.
"Don't tell me there are a few more Abyss ."
"Yes, there are two of them, Ice and Fire. This is a rare scene."
Gu Sanqiu exclaimed in amazement: "Five Hill Culprits, the other Hill Culprits can be ignored, plus two Abyss Mages, this lineup is enough to alarm the Qianyan Army."
This is not a game of mowing down enemies with different warriors. Adventurers' mentality will definitely be broken if they encounter such a lineup. Maybe they will only have time to pray to the gods for their lives.
After praying to the gods, his wish to live turned into the Eye of God, which helped him kill everyone and successfully escape. From then on, he got a promotion, a raise, and married a beautiful, rich woman. This can only be said to be the template of the protagonist.
The most common thing is the unattended body parts and bones left in the wild. They were once living people who sacrificed their lives for adventurous journeys.
"...Indeed, could it be that the piece of metal is very important, so these guys are now all crazy and want to find the culprit?"
"Be more confident. This is not as simple as just looking for us. Those guys are definitely determined to beat us to death and then hang us up to dry."
"Although the piece of metal was the cause, if that thing was so important, why didn't they gather a large number of troops to guard it? Instead, there were only a few unconscious hillbillies dancing along."
Gu Sanqiu kindly reminded: "Think about where we came from, maybe it will help you make a judgment."
Xingqiu was stunned, then his eyes widened: "You mean..."
"Yes, that's probably what you think."
Gu Sanqiu smiled helplessly: "That location just now was their rear base. They knew that there was a deserted island behind them, so they felt relieved that the Abyss Mage was holding some kind of ceremony here."
Xingqiu said, “In the end, this guy was killed by us stowaways, and then these guys fighting on the front line rushed back and wanted to kill us?”
"That's right."
Gu Sanqiu said, "And don't forget one more thing. Since you already have a sense of territory, you also said during the ceremony that there might be a battle ahead."
"Then the question is, if you want to leave during a fight, will the person you are fighting with agree to leave?"
Xingqiu was shocked: "Although the configuration that came to us is very high-end in our opinion, except for the accompanying Abyss Mage, this is at most a part of their force!"
"clever."
"I can't even imagine how huge the Hillichul tribe here is. They can even send five of these Rock Shield Hillichul thugs to cause trouble for us."
"Things have come to this point. Even if you take the blame and cut yourself three thousand times, it will be useless. Wait until Chongyun wakes up and then we will consider what to do next."
Gu Sanqiu shook his head: "This is no longer a tactical switch. We are the third party that successfully stole the home with zero loss!"
