"Well, it's okay." Xu Le replied somewhat perfunctorily.
"cut."
Next it’s time to clean the battlefield. The first floor of this building has basically been cleaned.
Except for Chang Fengle, who is a pure newbie, the others are more or less experienced mercenaries, so they can be cleaned up very quickly.
After exploring and cleaning up, it took about 20 minutes in total to finish the first floor, and then headed towards the second floor.
Xu Le estimated the time. According to the current progress speed, it would take them about a whole day to build a 30-story high-rise building?
Maybe there will be no way to finish it all day long.
If you put it this way, it is understandable that their mission time was extended to 2 months.
"Okay, okay, everyone performed very well. Everyone has played to their due level. That's it. Let's continue to move forward."
After the post-war mobilization, Bai Jing ran up to Xu Le and asked quietly:
"Do you think my level is okay?"
"This evaluation is already very high."
How should I describe Bai Jing's level? According to the standard value, it is barely level 3.
He should be a newly promoted level 3 warrior, which is very good for his age, otherwise he would not be able to become an independent mercenary leader.
Although mercenary leadership does not all depend on strength, the proportion of strength is also very important.
"That doesn't sound like a good review."
"Then work harder."
"How hard do I work? Have you seen my efforts?"
Xu Le waved his hand and lost interest in continuing to answer.
The team also reached the second floor and dispersed again.
When they arrived on the second floor, Chang Fengle, who was next to Xu Le, looked at him with admiration and whispered:
"The guide needs to ask for your evaluation. Brother, you are really good. It seems that I am with the right person."
"Blacksmith need its own hardware."
"Then you said that the guide's level is just okay. Does she have any shortcomings? I feel like she is already very strong."
"If we describe it according to the standards of a level 3 warrior, Bai Jing still has many shortcomings, the first of which is his fighting posture.
As a warrior, if you can use firearms, you should try to minimize close combat physical combat."
"Why? Shouldn't warriors fight in close quarters?"
Xu Le glanced at Chang Fengle, as if he was looking at an idiot.
"Because you never know what your next opponent's ability is, and you will always encounter someone with a stronger hand-to-hand combat ability than you.
The physical fitness of warriors is indeed worthy of praise, but don't use it to compare with weirdness.
When conditions permit, use more firearms, explosives, and long-range weapons to minimize your risk of injury, reduce physical exertion, and enhance combat skills.
In this way, when encountering an enemy that cannot be defeated by physical combat, you will have faster weapon responses and response strategies, instead of standing there and being killed by weird explosions."
Xu Le was very attentive in his teachings. These words were basically taught to him by Bai Jing, Wang Shu, and Ai Li.
Now leave it to a newbie, it's a bit hard for him, but very dry.
"It seems to make sense."
"This is the experience accumulated by our predecessors over the years."
"Thank you for your advice, brother."
…
After a relatively fierce battle broke out on the first floor, the subsequent exploration of the building went much more smoothly.
It took them more than 5 hours to reach the 30th floor.
Xu Le saw from the damaged elevator shaft that the building had a total of 31 floors.
In other words, there are only the last two layers left.
At this point, the status of others has already begun to decline, but Xu Le himself is more focused than before.
"Be careful in this area."
"Uh, brother, did you sense any danger?"
"There should be a tricky weirdness here, but it never appeared."
Hearing Xu Le say this, Chang Fengle also had a look on his face.
Along the way, Xu Le's abilities have been fully demonstrated. No matter how slow Chang Fengle is, he already understands that Xu Le is the real boss.
He said that the problems are more difficult, so they must be very difficult.
"Brother, I feel that the players' condition is very poor." Chang Fengle said suddenly.
Xu Le was a little surprised. He turned to look at Chang Fengle:
"Huh? Then what do you think we should do now?"
"I just counted the floors. If I counted correctly, there are 31 floors in total. This is already the 30th floor.
The team members are now very tired and have some difficulty concentrating, but many of them must want to finish searching the building quickly.
so……"
"If you have anything to say, just say it directly. You have nothing to worry about in front of me." Xu Le encouraged him.
"What I mean is that in our current state, if we encounter a strong enemy, we are very likely to be injured or lose our troops..."
Chang Fengle spoke only modestly, but his judgment was completely correct.
With the team's current mental state, if it encounters a difficult weird situation, it is very likely to result in attrition.
"You are right. If it were you, what would you do?"
"Let the team stop and take a rest?"
"Indeed it should be so." Xu Le nodded.
After receiving Xu Le's affirmation, Chang Fengle laughed twice.
In fact, Bai Jing was also hesitant. As an old guide, she could naturally feel the team's decline.
But there are really not many floors left. Should we explore it all in one go, or take a rest here?
After thinking again and again, Bai Jing still shouted at the top of the stairs:
"Everyone, everyone's condition has declined after walking for so long, although I know many people want to clear the building at once, because there are only a few floors left.
But many times, it is because of this kind of luck that the group is wiped out, so let’s take a rest after exploring this level.”
No one refuted Bai Jing's words.
Maybe some people have different ideas, but after a little thought, you can understand that what she said is actually right.
We’ve all come this far, and it’s not too late.
"good."
"no problem."
The respective groups nodded in agreement, and Bai Jing felt relieved and prepared to continue exploring the building.
But when she just reached the alley entrance on the right, a huge force broke through the wall and knocked her out instantly.
[Licking crawler, level 3 weird, ancient sound polluter. 】
Bai Jing, who was knocked away, spun around in the air, suppressed her physical discomfort, and used her backhand to hang the handle and blade of the knife on the wall to stop herself.
Roar!
The licking crawler roared and sprayed saliva all over her face.
Bai Jing did not panic in the face of such a huge monster. She first waved a few swords to drive back the crawler, then climbed up and jumped to fight with it.
Seeing Bai Jing being attacked, other team members also responded and rushed over to help.
But Xu Le just shook his head, which made Chang Fengle a little confused:
"Um, brother, they reacted very quickly? Why are you still shaking your head?"
"If Bai Jing's first reaction just now was to throw a grenade, maybe the battle would have ended by now."
"ah?"
Xu Le did not continue to explain. He looked at Bai Jing and lightly snapped his fingers.
Snapped!
Bai Jing suddenly felt a layer of electric current attached to her weapon. This electric current not only strengthened the sharpness of the weapon.
Some of it also flowed into her body, allowing her to move faster.
"Fuck!"
Bai Jing couldn't help but say something, and swung the knife in her hand faster.
After bending down to avoid a strange sweep, the thunder knife quickly began to swing.
Clang Clang Clang!
The wind blade carrying thunder and lightning cut the crawler into pieces, and Bai Jing felt that she had entered an unprecedented state.
Powerful, fast and sharp.
"Fuck, I'm so strong!"
The more she fought, the more excited she became. Even the mercenaries nearby who were very familiar with her were surprised at this time.
Because the combat power shown by Bai Jing is completely inconsistent with peacetime.
What happened to the thunder and lightning on her body?
Bai Jing kicked her feet on the ground to avoid the crawler's breath, then turned behind it and stabbed the crawler's skull with a knife.
This blow severely damaged the crawler.
However, Bai Jing did not let her strength improve, and she continued to stab into the heart and spine.
Just like Xu Le once said, when dealing with weird things, you need to carry out a three-point kill.
Bai Jing is also very knowledgeable about this.
"drink!"
With a low cry, Bai Jing cut the crawler in half, and its burst of combat power made everyone around him look sideways.
"Awesome! My sister."
"It's really awesome."
Amid everyone's compliments, Bai Jing put down her knife, and she felt the thunder and lightning passing by.
This is really a sad thing.
Bai Jing looked at Xu Le with complicated eyes. She felt that her state just now was related to Xu Le.
Xu Le also waved to her as a response.
"Brother, did you do something just now?" Chang Fengle on the side felt something was wrong and quickly asked Xu Le.
Xu Le didn't mean to hide anything.
"I used to ride a toad. At that time, I wasn't very good at mastering certain abilities, because toads have rough skin and thick flesh, so it doesn't matter no matter how hard you try.
But later I discovered that humans can also ride, but the requirements are much more precise than toads. Isn’t this what I’m trying to do?”
"Riding a toad? Riding a human? Brother, are you serious about riding a human?"
"Of course it's serious."
"I see……"
"Okay, wait here for a while, I have something to do."
"Brother? Where are you going?"
"Go and collect some things. You can just stay here."
After Xu Le finished speaking, he walked to the window. A burst of electricity flashed through his body and he flew upward.
"Damn it, big brother can fly!"
Seeing this scene, Chang Fengle was even more convinced that Xu Le was an extremely powerful master, and he would have to hug his thighs tightly from now on.
…
Xu Le came to the top floor and quickly approached in one direction.
Some fleshy veins appeared on the ground, as if they were connected to the entire floor.
Here, he could already see clearly what the other party was.
[Malignant tumor, level 4 weird, ancient sound polluted person. 】
Looking at the pulsing sarcoma on his arm, Xu Le felt sick.
He walked directly in front of this malignant tumor, stretched out his hand, and wanted to grasp the core of this malignant tumor.
Suddenly, the beating sarcomas around him burst open, and the strange thing bred inside broke away in advance and wanted to attack Xu Le.
The number of these sarcomas is astonishing, and they are densely packed together.
In a large part of them, you can see the limbs of former humans.
This means that the weirdness here has killed many humans.
"A human being who failed the mission?"
Seeing these weird things rushing towards him, Xu Le's spine also squirmed.
Poof!
Like a sea of trees that suddenly bloomed, a large number of branches burst out from Xu Le's body and pierced into these weird bodies.
Then stretch out the rhizomes and quickly absorb the ancient Yinduo energy in their bodies.
Xu Le stood in front of the vicious tumor, and he could even feel the strange trembling in front of him.
Then he pressed his palm on the vicious tumor's head.
Katcha!
The branch easily pierced the skull, and Xu Le left a seed in this vicious tumor's brain.
…
Xu Le, who returned to the 30th floor, was still humming.
"I planted a seed and it finally grew. Today is a great day."
"What did eldest brother sing?" Chang Fengle didn't ask Xu Le what he did. He just asked about the song he sang. He was a newbie, not without brains.
Xu Le was obviously in a good mood at this time, and he didn't know if he was going in the right direction.
But after doing it, the joy in my heart is real.
"Ah, I just went to plant trees."
"Planting trees? Brother's hobby is very unique."
"This makes me have to mention an organization I joined."
"The organization you joined? Is it a very powerful organization? Does it have many people? Is it powerful?"
"Um...Are all young people today so realistic? Don't we ask about ideas, dreams and the like?"
Xu Le gestured and added:
"For example, let humans regain the light, be able to welcome this reality without distinction, or end the darkness or something like that?"
"Dream? How much is a pound of dream? We Tianrui Lifeng people have always been down-to-earth and don't engage in those imaginary things."
"How to stay grounded?"
"First make money and people to increase your own strength and power, then get more weapons and upgrade the level of organization members..."
"Um, what's the purpose of doing this?"
"Of course it's the Red Moon Temple that must be crushed. Only by crushing the Red Moon Temple can this world develop freely.
This is our philosophy at Tianrui Lifeng.”
Looking at Chang Fengle with a passionate face, Xu Le nodded heavily.
"It's true. Only by destroying the Red Moon Temple can the world develop freely. I didn't understand such a simple truth until I arrived at Tianrui Lifeng."
During the conversation, the others had almost rested.
Bai Jing shouted:
"Everyone gather and prepare for the next level."
"yes."
Looking at the team entering the top level, Xu Le was a little excited, but also a little worried.
"These people shouldn't fight among themselves over a piece of fruit, right?"
After climbing to the 31st floor, brilliant light shone on everyone's faces, and a colorful tree of souls appeared at the end of everyone's field of vision.
Of course, these people don't know that this is the tree of souls, they only think that it is an ancient Yinduo tree.
"The ancient Yinduo tree has many fruits on it, making you rich!"
While the mercenaries were excited, only Bai Jing looked at Xu Le with a puzzled look.
