The maximum number of people in a team is 24, which is exactly the quota for saints
After Zhang Yuanqing listened to the mission prompt, he glanced at the people gathered around him, including Jiang Jingwei, The World Returns to Fire, Sound Crazy, and Long Live the White Tiger. There were thirteen people in total.
Obviously, this group of people stayed here, waiting to form a team with him.
"Where are the others?" Zhang Yuanqing asked casually.
"Follow Zhao Chenghuang." Tianxia Guihuo held a grass root in his mouth, leaned against the tree trunk, and said:
"You can't put your eggs in one basket. After you join the team, you will understand when you see the side tasks. The more dispersed the team, the better."
While talking, the task prompt sounded again:
[Ding! Tianxiaguihuo invites you to join the team.]
[Ding, you have completed the team formation and the side missions have been refreshed]
[Side mission three: The tragic mountain god.]
[Task description: A long time ago, a powerful evil cultivator sneaked into a human city and caused huge disasters there. In order to curb the spread of the disaster, in order to trap the powerful evil cultivator, sacrifices were made to the mountain gods who were cultivating nearby.
By itself, it gathered the essence of mountains, rivers, and vegetation to form a forest, which isolated the city from the outside world and trapped the powerful evil cultivator and his minions in the city.
[The will of the mountain god turned into a group of monkeys, the flesh and blood of the mountain god condensed into a mountain, and the hair of the mountain god grew into a lush forest. In order to commemorate the mountain god, the monkey group built a mountain temple for him on the top of the mountain and enshrined the mountain god's scepter on the top of the mountain.
There is a rumor in the temple that if you get the mountain god’s scepter, you can gain the authority of the mountain god. The elves in the mountain inherit the mountain god’s will and guard it silently.]
[For countless years, evil cultivators have been sending minions to find the location of the mountain temple, trying to take away the scepter and leave the lost city. Not long ago, a group of evil people came to the forest, killing monkeys and tree demons, becoming
The evil cultivator's minions. Young warriors, please help the elves in the mountains to protect the scepter in the temple.】
[Task requirements: The mountain temple will be opened every once in a while, and each opening time is 60 minutes. Please arrive at the mountain temple along the mountain road, guard the scepter, and do not let anyone enter the temple. ]
[Remarks: There are three roads leading to the top of the mountain. Over the years, the power of evil cultivators has penetrated into the forest, entangled and contended with the power of the mountain god. Changes have occurred in the forest. Each mountain road contains different dangers. Please pay attention to safety.
.]
After reading the mission introduction, Zhang Yuanqing had a deeper understanding of the precautions for the outer layer.
No wonder the tree demons will take the initiative to confuse people who enter the mountains, and the monkeys will attack indiscriminately. Their mission is to protect the mountains and forests, and all outsiders are enemies to them.
In addition, the fruits that cannot be eaten, the hikers who cannot talk or look at each other, are probably the things catalyzed by evil cultivators after they penetrated into the forest.
This results in contradictory content on the precautions.
At the same time, I also understand why the more dispersed the team, the better. They are all concentrated on a mountain road. Let’s not talk about the number limit. Once the team is destroyed, the lawful camp will be completely defeated.
"Hiss~" Zhang Yuanqing took a breath and said solemnly: "The second level is very dangerous, very dangerous."
Tianxia Guihuo smiled and said, "How do you say that?"
Zhang Yuanqing glanced at everyone and said:
"The information is so detailed that there is almost no need for reasoning and exploration. Therefore, the difficulty of this level is entirely focused on the dangers of mountain climbing.
"Everyone, this dungeon contains saint-level power everywhere. Let me declare in advance that I am not sure of protecting everyone."
The corner of Tianxiaguihuo's lips raised, and he looked at everyone:
"Just like what I said, the dangers in this dungeon should all be on the hiking trail."
Everyone's expressions became a little more solemn.
Long live the white tiger in the crowd and said with a smile:
"Yuanshi Tianzun, your idol has too much baggage. We are all experienced and know the dangers of entering the dungeon, and we never think that others are responsible for our lives.
"Life and death are determined by destiny and wealth. Once you enter the killing dungeon, you are ready to make sacrifices. Teaming up with you is mainly to reduce risks."
Long Live the White Tiger is a cheerful young man with regular facial features, neither ugly nor handsome. His eyes have the sharpness of a scout, and his overall temperament is capable and tough, like a battle-hardened veteran.
Most of the scouts tend to have a military temperament.
Each profession has its own unique temperament, such as the irritability and rudeness of the fire master, the evil nobility of the night wandering god, and the honesty and honesty of the earth monster.
The official nodded slightly and agreed with the words of Long Live the White Tiger.
That’s what I said, but I still have to be responsible for your lives. Being a leader and not being a leader are two different things. Zhang Yuanqing took out a breath and asked:
"Have you memorized the maze map on the notice board?"
Several fire masters present shook their heads.
Others said: "Everyone memorized a portion of the area and was able to piece together a complete map."
That's good, then I don't need to turn on the "Super Brain" mode. Zhang Yuanqing exhaled, "Without further ado, let's climb the mountain."
When he checked into Fujiawan Villa, he brought blue pills with him in advance, and kept a whole bottle of small blue pills in his pocket.
The only thing he left outside was the Elvis speaker.
This prop is too strange. If it is used in public, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be remembered. If it spreads, it will be a hidden danger once it is known to the Demon Lord's old lovers.
Although he also used Elvis Presley speakers in Yin Yang Town, the only members of the Five Elements Alliance at that time were Guan Ya and the Queen.
Needless to say, Guan Ya, the Queen is too far away from the Demon Lord and will not leak his information for no reason. Although it is a hidden danger, it is not a big problem.
In the deep and lofty "universe", countless planets form a dazzling galaxy.
The masters standing outside the spiritual world are all staring at the killing copy in the extraordinary stage.
Most of the time, they only care about the progress of the strong confrontation between the saints. Even the King of Fear and the Marshal, who have made heavy bets, do not care too much about the practitioners of the extraordinary realm.
After all, the level of the Transcendent Realm is too low. Even a genius like Yuanshi Tianzun is nothing more than a saint after clearing the killing dungeon.
It is still in the state of being a hidden dragon and has never really grown.
The saints go one step further and become masters.
The Lord is the backbone of any organization, the chief official of a feudal territory, and a big figure in the spiritual world.
The advantages that a high-ranking master can bring are immeasurable. For example, the King of Fear who can talk to the alliance leaders on an equal footing is the pinnacle-level master.
Of course, ordinary peak masters are not qualified to stand side by side with the alliance leader. Fear is a freak and cannot be measured by common sense.
But in this killing dungeon, Fu Qingyang is expected to become such a freak.
Therefore, the important people paid special attention to it.
It wasn't until Yuanshi Tianzun called out the official gathering of practitioners, including the female marshal, the bosses of the lawful and evil professions, that they turned their attention to the virgin forest and paid attention to the current situation of the extraordinary little guys.
"He is indeed a smart little guy. It's a pity that the Fallen Holy Grail became the trophy of the Songhai branch."
In the middle branch of the Psionic Association, a hoarse and low voice came from the president's tattered hood.
Although he didn't name him, everyone present knew who he was talking about.
"I just don't know what the fighting strength is!" The southern leader, who was constantly changing gender and form, made a voice that was difficult to distinguish between male and female.
Although they are geniuses from the opposing camp, these people who are at the top have an instinctive appreciation for the juniors who are good at strategy.
The King of Fear frowned, looked sideways at the president of the branch of the Psionics Association, and said:
"The Fallen Holy Grail should not exist in the world. It deprives a person of his most basic freedom. It is a disgusting evil thing. I hate it."
On the Five Elements Alliance side, the red-haired young man raised his eyebrows and said:
"This world's return to fire not only lacks the courage of a fire master, but also lacks a sense of collective honor for fire masters. If he becomes a deacon, I will first send him back to the training camp for a period of psychological treatment.
"Let him regain his collective sense of honor and pride as a Fire Master."
Forget it, a Crouching Dragon finally emerged from the Fire Master. Elder Dog and others shook their heads.
The female marshal stared at the vast virgin forest, her eyes penetrated the layers of barriers, and she seemed to be staring at something, her long and straight eyebrows slightly frowning.
She has seen that ring.
Saw it in Demon Lord.
Zhang Yuanqing led the members of the Five Elements Alliance deep into the middle of the forest when two figures emerged from the dense forest and chased after the notice board.
The leader was a young man with thick eyebrows and bright eyes. Although he looked handsome, he didn't have the delicacy of a young man. Instead, he looked like an aggressive little wolfdog.
Behind the little wolfdog was a fat young man.
"Boss, please slow down"
The little fat man shouted and chased.
As an illusionist, his speed and physical strength are far inferior to those of the bewitching demon.
Soon, Kou Beiyue stopped by the notice board, looked around for a while, and finally looked at a few longan-sized red fruits scattered on the ground.
There are no similar fruits nearby, so someone obviously left them behind on purpose.
Kou Beiyue thought for a long time and concluded that the fruit was most likely a message left to him by Yuanshi Tianzun.
Yuan Shi knew that he participated in the killing dungeon. Although everyone could not recognize each other openly, Yuan Shi would not ignore him and would definitely leave some obvious hints.
Before entering the killing dungeon, Xiao Yuan'er reminded her repeatedly that when entering the killing dungeon, you must use your brain more, especially related to Yuanshi Tianzun.
Yuanshi Tianzun will definitely leave a message for him.
"There is no such fruit nearby, there must be something fishy about it!" Kou Beiyue said pretending to be profound.
The little fat man looked around, surveyed the environment, and then stared at the fruit for a few seconds. He took out a ring woven from black fine vines and put it on. He walked to a tree and confirmed that it was just an ordinary tree and not the Dryad Queen.
Put the ring to your mouth and mutter something.
After a few seconds, the little fat man said in a deep voice:
"It told me that the group of people just entered after eating the fruit."
Kou Beiyue was overjoyed:
"Can you enter after eating the fruit? Hurry up, let's divide the fruit, so that we don't have to risk fighting the boss and can successfully enter the second level."
The little fat man looked at him blankly, his expression getting a little weird.
He worshiped this guy as his boss because he was attracted by his not-so-smart brain and thin skin. He wanted to save face, and after a lot of stalking, he succeeded in becoming his younger brother.
But the little fat man actually knew that this silly guy would probably not survive the killing dungeon, and he might become the boss with the shortest life span in his history.
Especially when he saw the new boss breaking away from the evil organization and pursuing the lawful profession without thinking, he was even more convinced of his speculation.
How would a normal person dare to do such a thing? Aren't they afraid of being insulted by lawful walkers in turn?
Unexpectedly, the lawful profession happened to leave, and happened to throw the used fruits aside.
It may seem reckless and impulsive, but his brainy behavior actually solved the crisis for the new boss.
Could it be that the boss he accidentally picked up is actually a rare lucky person?
Yes, he is so stupid. If not for luck, how could he have survived until now? The little fat man said solemnly:
"Boss, you are right, but I don't recommend you do this.
"If you eat the fruit, you will become a member of the lawful camp. The lawful profession will kill you, and those cold-blooded and ruthless guys will also kill you. We can't survive in the cracks.
"The best way is to return to the big team and push the boss together."
Kou Beiyue frowned secretly after hearing this.
The Tree King is so powerful, and there is also the Monkey King. It is very dangerous to push the boss. He understands the principle of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.
But this little fat man's analysis is correct, and if he can lurk in the evil camp, he can better collect intelligence and cooperate with Yuanshi Tianzun at critical moments.
Then we can only take risks! Kou Beiyue followed the advice and gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay! Then go back and push the boss."
As soon as the words fell, a spiritual prompt sounded in their ears:
[Ding! The Tree King is dead. Your camp has won. 30 points will be awarded. Please help the mountain ghost to eliminate the monkey group. 】
The tree king is dead, so there is no need to push the boss. The little fat man looked at Kou Beiyue, and his mouth grew bigger little by little.
Led by Zhang Yuanqing, fifteen lawful professions shuttled through the dense forest and headed deeper.
The night was already dark, the canopy of trees blocked the moonlight, and the forest was pitch black. Under the leadership of the only night wandering god, everyone walked forward slowly.
"There is no prohibition on the use of flames on the notice board in the middle of the forest. I think it is okay to hold fire for lighting."
The world returns to fire and raises its voice.
Everyone said nothing, waiting for Yuanshi Tianzun's opinion.
Zhang Yuanqing pondered for a few seconds and said: "Okay!"
The outer layer has side tasks for the outer layer, and the middle layer has side tasks for the middle layer. As of now, the two are not interoperable.
The core of the middle level is camp confrontation, so it is impossible to temporarily change camps, otherwise bugs will occur.
"Chichi~"
The fire masters couldn't wait to raise their arms, letting the flames rise like torches, illuminating the surroundings and dispelling the darkness.
Everyone unconsciously relaxed and felt a sense of security.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, everyone climbed over a mountain. In front of them was a wide mountain col (a flat land between mountains, a low place between two mountains) with a wide view and sparse vegetation.
The night sky is clear, the bright moonlight shines down, the barren mountains and ridges are completely silent, and there is an indescribable terror.
There is a trail in the mountain col that leads to the dense forest of the opposite mountain range. Not surprisingly, this is the mountain path leading to the top of the mountain mentioned in the side mission.
Zhang Yuanqing stopped, looked at the peaks on the other side of the col, and said:
"The top of the mountain over there should be the location of the mountain temple. Let's take a five-minute rest."
At this time, Guan Ya came close to Zhang Yuanqing and said with a smile:
"When did you change the Inferi? She's quite beautiful. I looked at her for a long time, but I couldn't find any flaws."
"Because it's a plastic surgery, how can it be compared with a natural beauty like Sister Guan Ya." Zhang Yuanqing first praised, then stabbed Fu Qingyang in the back, saying distressedly:
"The Centurion prepared this for me. I didn't expect him to send me such an Inferi. He also said that he would ask you to stay away from Guan Ya in the future."
Guan Ya used the faint firelight to carefully examine Yuanshi Tianzun, and was shocked to find that he did not lie.
"I really thank him." Guan Ya gritted her teeth.
She then looked at Ryo Asano in the crowd, who kept bowing and saying "Hey!" and said:
"Did you pick this child up?"
"It was picked up by Fairy Peony. It has nothing to do with me." Zhang Yuanqing hurriedly cleared the relationship.
As soon as he finished speaking, Asano Ryo over there said:
"Yuanshi Tianzun is my savior, and my kindness will never be forgotten. I will work hard and do my part to clear the killing dungeon. Please take care of me!"
Guan Ya smiled brightly: "You put on my defensive mask."
"Don't wear it!"
"Put it on!"
"Don't wear it."
Five minutes passed quickly, and everyone walked down the mountain, entered the col, and officially set foot on the hiking trail.
When entering the dense forest, I received a mission prompt at the same time:
[Ding! You have entered the maze forest, please pay attention to safety and be alert to dangers along the way.]
The official practitioners couldn't help but take a deep breath and tense up their nerves.
Behind, a middle-aged man said:
"Go straight forward, and when you see the first fork in the road, go left. There are three roads at the second fork, choose the one in the middle."
Following the instructions, the team walked through the maze forest in an orderly manner. During this process, Zhang Yuanqing tried to leave his body and looked down at the maze forest. However, as soon as he reached the canopy, he was blocked by an invisible wall.
Mission prompt: [No flying!]
The wood demon in the team tried to communicate with the trees, but received no response.
You can only go out of the maze forest, which limits all opportunities for bugs.
With the prompts of each colleague, the team walked through the maze for half an hour, until a little girl reported the route she had memorized and said happily:
"We've walked half the distance."
As he finished speaking, a thick mist surged from the dense forest. The mist was like yarn and dust, obscuring his vision.
Is it more difficult? Zhang Yuanqing said loudly:
"Let's hold hands and slow down our progress"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a scream from the crowd, and then it stopped suddenly.
"What happened?!"
Everyone was shocked, and the scene suddenly became noisy.
Zhang Yuanqing smelled the smell of blood and his heart sank.
Tianxiaguihuo held up the "torch" and ran towards the direction where the screams came from, using the flames to disperse the thick fog. When he took a closer look, his face suddenly changed.
There was a corpse lying there, with the head and body separated, and blood spurting out from the fracture. It was the little girl who had just spoken.
Her dead eyes were wide open, and the screaming expression was still frozen on her face, as if she didn't understand how she died.
This was a little wood demon girl who died on the spot without even a chance to activate the "Resuscitation" skill.
How did she die?
The people around him didn't know it, and they felt an inexplicable chill in their hearts.
