Chapter 101 Misty Forest
Just when Luo Yan saw the three adventurers sitting at the entrance of the stairwell resting from a distance, the latter finally belatedly discovered him and Sarah walking towards this direction, and quickly stood up from the ground with their equipment.
Luo Yan looked at the three of them.
One of them was a suspected bronze-level swordsman, wearing light armor. He had a one-handed sword that was exquisitely made and looked valuable. Judging from the aura on his body, he was probably the leader of this team, and his strength was probably on the same level as Eminem who was locked up in the small dark room in the cemetery.
As for the other two, judging by their attire, one is an archer and the other is a magician. Their strength is below the black iron level.
As for why Luo Yan made this judgment, it was naturally because Youyou could see the other party's soul level.
The upper limit for these three people is bronze.
Honest magicians generally will not team up with swordsmen whose strength is lower than their own.
Luo Yan, who had twelve layers of buffs on his body, walked over leisurely with Sarah.
"Hey," the leading swordsman said hello. While placing his hand on the sword, he friendly introduced himself to Luo Yan, "We are the Brave Swords. I am the captain Alex, nicknamed "The Champion of Strength". These two are my friends. Friends, who are also my teammates, are "Fowler" Xiuwen and "Firelighter" Fenis... What about you?" Xiuwen, who was carrying a bow and arrow, greeted Luo Yan politely, while Fenis, who looked a little introverted, nodded as a greeting.
Hearing this series of strange titles, Luo Yan was even more sure that these people were a group of rookies.
Even in terms of adventure experience alone, they might not be as good as the silver scimitar, which is mainly produced in gray.
However, he does not hate rookie adventurers, after all, these people are the nourishment of his own dungeon.
After coughing slightly, he spoke.
���We haven't registered a team yet, my name is Luoluo, and this is Sarah."
hh Alex said with a smile.
"You don't have a registered team? Why don't you just join us."
Faced with the hearty smile and the half-hearted invitation, Luo Yan declined politely with a smile, and then said.
"Speaking of which, are you guys resting here?"
"That's right, but to be precise, you are waiting for someone."
Alex was not disappointed after being rejected. He shrugged as if nothing happened and said with the same smile on his face.
"We plan to go to the Mist Town on the fourth floor of the maze to do something, but you know the situation there, and there are a lot of dangerous monsters, so we want to find other teammates to join us... If you are on the way, that would be great. If it is not, it doesn't matter, we can continue to wait."
It is indeed rare for a three-person team to challenge the fourth floor of the maze, especially when the leader is only a bronze.
Luo Yan thought for a while, and happened to have something he wanted to know from them, so he nodded and agreed.
"Then let's go together."
Seeing him nod in agreement, the three of them had happy expressions on their faces. It was obvious that they had been hanging up here for a long time.
Looking at Alex picking up the equipment from the ground, Luo Yan suddenly asked curiously.
"Don't you ask about my strength?"
"What's there to ask," Alex grinned and said matter-of-factly, "If two people can reach this point on the third floor of the maze, your strength must be no weaker than mine."
However, as several pairs of eyes fell on her, she quickly realized her impoliteness, so she hurriedly lowered the brim of her hood and muttered "Sorry" to Luo Yan beside her.
Luo Yan thought it was nothing.
After all, he didn't pay attention to these three little frog thieves who broke into the maze. It didn't matter even if the other party guessed his strength.
However, because his cat was so cute, he still laughed and joked.
"You are sorry to the wrong person."
"It's okay," thinking that Luoluo was speaking for him, Alex waved his hands nonchalantly and said with a smile, "I can see that Miss Sarah respects you...and to be honest, I really don't have the confidence to compare with you experienced adventurers."
Newcomer?
Luo Yan glanced at this guy unexpectedly.
Bronze level swordsman.
If its strength did not grow in the labyrinth, there is only one explanation.
This person is probably a well-educated noble.
As for why the soul level is only bronze, there are various reasons.
Either the family background is not prominent enough, or he is not the eldest son.
Considering this guy's decent etiquette, Luo Yan became more convinced of his guess.
But he didn't say much, after all, this was not something he cared about.
"Please don't say that. I became an adventurer only recently, and I am not experienced at all... Please look after each other on the way."
Looking at the right hand extended by the man in front of him, Alex took it in surprise, then shook it with a smile.
"Well! That's exactly what I meant!"
His intuition told him that the identity of the man in front of him might be even more complicated than he imagined!
Lolo?
This should be a pseudonym.
Alex was thinking about it in his mind, but he didn't ask too much. After all, the other party didn't ask about his personal affairs. It seemed a bit presumptuous for him to take the initiative to ask.
With the addition of "Lolo" and Sarah, the Brave Sword adventurer team has grown from three to five.
With two mages, they already have the capital to challenge the fourth floor of the maze.
The group of people walked along the spiral staircase for a while, and after passing through an arch, they soon entered a foggy forest.
Looking at the gray woods, Sarah had a surprised expression on her face.
"This...is actually underground?!"
Unlike the first two floors of the maze where you can't see your fingers, there is a turbid white light vaguely revealed in the gray white mist.
Although the ray of white light was very weak, like a candle in the wind, it still increased everyone's visibility from two meters to more than ten meters.
This place is like a continuation of the Silver Pine Forest.
Other than the few leaves on the branches, this is almost the same as the forest outside.
It can even be said -
This forest shrouded in fog is even more worthy of the name Silver Pine Forest than the forest outside.
Sarah hurriedly looked back, and what caught her eyes was a tall tower connecting the ground and the sky.
They had gone down to here from the third floor of the maze through this tower!
Looking at Sarah making a fuss, the three adventurers of the Brave Sword looked at each other and smiled.
Then, Alex spoke.
"Is this your first time, Miss Sarah?"
Sarah glanced at him warily and said nothing.
It was not until she caught a glimpse of Luo Yan nodding gently from the corner of her eye that she reluctantly answered.
She has no good feelings towards humans.
With the exception of the Demon King.
Alex smiled, turned his gaze to the forest ahead, and continued with a nostalgic tone.
"Actually, when the Demon King is still there, this place will be even more spectacular... The endless forest will never wither, as if there is no difference between winter and summer. Not only that, there is also a cycle of day and night. The crystals distributed on the dome will be like the sun outside, lighting up in the early morning and extinguishing after nightfall."
The amethyst dome in the Magic City?
But it seems to be different.
The amethyst dome of the Magic City was snatched from the hands of the dwarves, and the light it emits is also deeper, simulating mainly the moonlight that undead creatures and demons prefer.
And the light here...
It seems to be closer to the human understanding of daytime on the surface?
Luo Yan had a thoughtful expression on his face.
Noticing the expression on his face, Alex seemed to have thought of something, and then said with a smile.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not missing the Demon King, there's nothing to miss about that guy... It's just that I occasionally think that it would be great if we could develop this place into a colony. For the Kingdom of Lane, this is much closer than the opposite side of the Whirlpool Sea."
Luo Yan smiled faintly.
hh "Interesting idea, so...what kind of person would be willing to move into a maze?"
hh Alex was stunned for a moment, and said haha.
"There are probably only people who can't live on the surface! I just said it casually, and I really thought too much... Let's go, let's go to Mist Town as soon as possible."
Luo Yan nodded and watched Alex take the initiative to walk to the front row. Then he signaled Sarah to guard the flanks of the team, and he consciously walked in the middle of the team.
The soft soil is covered with dry leaves and slippery moss, making a rustling sound when stepped on.
Thick mist wraps around every tree trunk like a veil, blocking the distant sight.
Occasionally, there are low animal sounds passing through the withered grass, which makes people feel frightened, and it is inevitable that a chill will spread in their hearts.
The group of people followed the direction indicated by the map and compass and moved forward carefully in the direction of Mist Town.
That is the base established by the adventurers on the fourth floor of the maze.
In fact, it is what Alex calls a colony, but most adventurers are not aware of it.
The moment he stepped into this forest, Luo Yan immediately felt the difference between this level of the maze and the previous three levels.
Behind the seemingly lifeless white mist, it seemed to be more vibrant than he imagined.
And there is danger hidden!
"Alex."
"What's wrong?"
"I heard that there are night elves on the fourth floor of the maze, have you seen those guys?"
"Night elves?" Alex's eyes were filled with confusion, and he shook his head and said, "No...but it seems that someone has seen them in this forest, and the Adventurer's Guild has a reward for them."
Gazing at the white mist not far away, Luo Yan nodded.
"That's it, I understand."
Alex gave the adventurer named Lolo a subtle look.
He asked himself, he was already a relatively new type of newcomer, but he did not expect that this guy actually lacked common sense than himself.
He even couldn't help but wonder, could this guy have just registered as an adventurer?
But this possibility is too small.
He had never heard of an adventurer who broke into the third floor of the maze as soon as he registered his identity, and went straight to the fourth floor.
Generally speaking, the guild would not give a fourth-level commission to such a newcomer, right?
The group of people stopped talking to each other along the way.
Because soon they encountered the first monster since entering the forest-a magic wolf with horns on its head.
Without giving Luo Yan a chance to show off his skills, Alex pulled out his one-handed sword and made a few clean thrusts, then stabbed the demon wolf with bloody holes all over its body, and fell to the ground with a mournful cry.
Winning this battle was without pressure.
However, soon, the bloody smell from the demon wolf's corpse attracted more monsters. Luo Yan finally found an opportunity to show off his skills and pulled out the wand in his sleeve...
The dead treetops a hundred meters away.
I saw two swift and vigorous figures, one on the left and one on the right, lurking on the thick branches, carefully watching the group of uninvited guests who broke into the forest.
The wheat-colored skin and slender ears are the symbols of night elves.
Just when they thought their disguise was perfect, the person they were observing suddenly looked up at them.
That casual look was like looking at a few sparrows that had fallen on the branch.
The moment their eyes met, a trace of panic appeared on the faces of the two night elves.
Without time to determine whether their whereabouts were exposed, they jumped down from the tree branch and disappeared into the depths of the woods like frightened hares.
The breeze through the misty forest carried their message back to their lair deep in the forest.
"The Demon King is coming..."
"He... seems to have discovered us!"
The tenosynovitis has just improved, but the stomach problem has returned. T.T
