"Let's withdraw!" Zhi Shi said this reluctantly, but he had to bite the bullet and said: "This guy has hidden his strength. We are exhausted and no match for him, so withdraw!"
"Yes!" Without saying a word, Ji Wei picked up his toes and ran away. According to the agreement, A'ao and Lu Cuo had to desperately drag the enemy to cover their escape, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet. The little monster ejected, and A'ao vomited.
Due to the cold air and Lu Cuo's harassment and attack, Tang Bian was unable to get away for a while. Ji Jing looked at A'ao and the others with some unbearable eyes, but still ran away with Piao Zong on his back.
Tubian was entangled by the monsters, knowing that he could not catch up, so he could only taunt: "Okay, okay, I really underestimated you. You can actually make these monsters work for you and escape by yourself. You are really amazing! Counterattack Storm
!" This time he was not trying to defend himself, but directly smashed Ao against the wall with a flash of light. Ao felt severe pain like broken muscles all over his body. "Look! These monsters who were forced to cross the river and demolish the bridge by you, they
What's the end!" Tubian roared like crazy. Lu Cuo silently picked up Otao and wrapped it around his body, continuing to carry out painless attacks. Among the three monsters, only the impact of the little monster could really hurt Tubian.
Of course, Tang Bian could see the movement of his muscles. He first counterattacked Lu Cuo with a counterattack storm, then took the opportunity to accumulate power and almost destroyed the little monster with a flash of light. However, the little monster's elastic body was not easily damaged, and he continued to work tirelessly.
The ground collided, and one person and three monsters fell into a fierce battle. This was a situation conducive to escape.
On the other side, the four members of the rebel adventure group quickly left the battlefield. Zhi Shi and Piao Zhu were seriously injured and fell into a coma. Ji Jing couldn't help but ask, "Is it really okay for us to leave them and run away like this?"
"Two kills and 0 deaths, this is the best result." "I also know that they can be resurrected, but I always feel guilty." "Do you prefer to see one of the four of us die?"
"No, I..." Ji Jing didn't know what to say for a while. She has never been good at encounters, but likes to set up position traps in advance, so in this battle she is basically playing soy sauce except for resisting some damage.
That's why she couldn't argue with Ji Shui.
"If we can see them again, we will be friends of life and death." After a long silence, Ji Wei said this.
Ao Lao, Lu Cuo and the little monsters continued to engage in a desperate battle. Compared with the gorgeous skills that Tubian burst out from time to time, the attack methods of the three monsters were quite simple, and they were really just delaying time. After twenty rounds of fierce fighting, no one could win.
The restless pain had made them a little numb, and they repeated attacks mechanically, hoping to die. Although Tang Bian was also a little exhausted, he was still more than enough to deal with the three of them. Finally, Lu Cuo was hit on the ground by a move and expired.
A'ao was beaten until his spine fell apart and died, leaving only the little monster still fighting fiercely with Tubian.
Taking off their helmets, A'ao and Lu Cuo didn't feel any joy about surviving the disaster. They just looked at each other, feeling each other's shock, as well as the despair, numbness, and fear behind them. Their true bodies were absolutely safe, and they were not afraid of death, but today they felt
When it comes to something more terrifying than death, that is the torture before death. Most people are tortured once in their lives at most, but what about them?
"Brother A'ao——" Lu Cuo couldn't hold it in anymore and threw herself into A'ao's arms and cried loudly. A'ao held her in his arms and gently touched the warm body in front of him that was full of life, but he couldn't say any words of comfort.
Faced with today's inhuman torture, and facing the prospect of the same situation in the next year or even ten years, how much stronger can he be than Lu Cuo? It's just that he didn't cry. He could only hold the girl in his arms cherishingly,
Feeling the beautiful existence of life. Lu Cuo sought comfort from him. Why couldn't he rely on Lu Cuo to persevere?
Even though he was exhausted physically and mentally, human flesh didn't seem so disgusting anymore. There were a lot of corpses stored in the past, and there was an ice cellar under the castle for preservation, which could last for quite some time. During the meal, A Lao told Lu Cuo all the stories he had experienced.
Such stories invisibly relieved stress and fatigue, and the two of them became closer and closer. After sleeping, feeling each other's breathing and heartbeat, Ao felt inexplicably moved. Today's life is full of pain, but there is still such warmth.
At night, I'm afraid I can't experience this outside. If Lu Cuo wasn't around, I felt that I might be awakened by nightmares while sleeping.
Next, it was naturally Lu Nao's turn to appear. Needless to say, she felt everything about Lu Cuo. "We won't fight for the next few days. In all likelihood, we will be resurrected in a new place. We still need to find them.
Time, why not use this time to draw the map of the labyrinth." Ayao really needs to rest, and it is not easy to recover from the fierce battle. "There should still be blank parchments, pens and ink in this castle.
"
"But the map we drew down below can't be brought up?"
"There is no other way. We can only copy them after we find them." Ao rummaged through the boxes and finally found a stack of yellowed parchment scrolls and some pen and ink. "Hey, you draw this half, and I'll draw the other half."
"Yeah. But there is a problem. Maps are usually a top view, but what we directly see is a bottom view..." "Well, you reminded me very timely. It does need to be transformed, so be careful when drawing."
The maze was too big to be painted in one day, so Lu Cuo also painted with Otsuo the next day. Although painting all day long was boring, it was also a rare leisure time.
Coincidentally, the four members of the rebel adventure group above have also been recovering from their injuries and have not set out to find anyone. "Let's recover from our injuries first and then go to A'ao and the others," said Zhi Shi, applying medicine on his body, "otherwise, if we encounter someone along the way,
The enemy couldn't defeat us, but no one gave us the rear. Ironically, I doubted their coming, but in the end I couldn't hold on anymore and had to retreat."
Piao Zong gnawed on the meat of the monster he had just killed: "Well, those two monsters are interesting enough and worth making friends with. If they need anything in the future, let's help them if we can. By the way, what do you think of that rumor?"
"I feel very suspicious." Ji Shui gently rubbed his abdomen, which was still aching, "Osato said that they didn't know why the door was closed, but rumors said that the door was closed because a BOSS appeared in the ruins and must be defeated.
Only the BOSS can open the door and go out. Does this mean that the switch of the door is in the hands of the monster? Isn't this strange?"
"No." Toshikaki interjected, "Oshio said that they can be resurrected even if they are killed here, which shows that the system of this ruins can control the life and death of monsters. Although it is hard to imagine, if it is really possible, then according to
It shouldn't be difficult to control the life and death of a certain monster by opening and closing the door, right? Besides, what does this matter have to do with us? So many experts gathered there, and we have a share of the soup? Now that our cooperation with the monster has been exposed, this
The trouble can be big or small, but we’d better make less trouble, leave here in a low profile as soon as the door opens, and let’s wait until the limelight has passed.”
It took three and a half days to draw the map, and the last half day for proofreading. It took a total of four days to finally complete it. Looking at the swirling and complex maze map, Lu Nao couldn't help but exclaimed: "I'm going crazy just looking at the map. The designer of this maze must be
A complete lunatic."
"Whatever, the painting has been finished anyway. Today's task is to find the place where we first met them. They will most likely look for us nearby." "That makes sense."
After four days of leisure, although the pain cannot be erased, it has become much better. Another reason why Oshi Lao is embarrassed to say is that Lu Nao's monster is obviously more powerful than Lu Cuo, regardless of skill effects or physical strength. That's why we fought so hard that day.
We can't blame Lu Cuo for his poor operation, we can only blame the system for being biased.
Entering the maze, we found ourselves in a strange environment. Ao stretched out his new snake body, and the pain 4 days ago seemed to have never happened - that was the pain of having his spine torn apart! Ao didn't want to remember it anymore.
"Well, I feel that my new body is stronger and more powerful than before. I hope it's not an illusion. This system finally has some conscience. It's not in vain that I died so many times." Ao looked at Lu Nao again. It was almost the same as before. There should be no
Because of death.
Since the main task was to search, the two monsters tried their best to avoid contact with outsiders and reduce conflicts, but they still felt that it was difficult to move forward. "Something is wrong, why are there so many people in this area." Otsuo complained in his heart, unable to communicate with Lu Nao in his monster form.
, I don’t know what she thinks, so now I can only avoid it carefully.
"Who!" A fully armed soldier suddenly appeared from behind the wall, with a conspicuous ??-shaped military emblem hanging on his chest. Abao Lu Nao was stunned and didn't know what to do. On the contrary, the soldier let go when he saw the two monsters.
He turned around and said, "It's okay, it's just two monsters."
Three more soldiers came out from behind. One of them laughed and said: "You are making too much fuss. Look, you scared the monsters and they didn't know to attack us."
The first soldier made a face: "It's best not to attack. The BOSS battle over there is about to start. We have to hurry over to meet the general. We don't have time to fight with these ordinary monsters. Let's go quickly. This is a BOSS battle. It's a delay.
In time, our federation will suffer heavy losses." When the four soldiers saw that Aolu Nao had no intention of attacking, they left in a hurry.
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. "BOSS battle?" Ashao thought, "Is there a BOSS here? And it's not just the two of us?" To say that the most special existence among monsters is undoubtedly Ashao Lu Nao. Now there is a BOSS.
The BOSS was not them, and Ao felt inexplicably unhappy. As soon as he closed his eyes and got off the line, he pulled Lu Nao down again: "Should we take a look at the BOSS battle? The BOSS should not be an ordinary monster, maybe we can fight with it.
Let’s have a chat or something.”
"Are you not convinced? The BOSS is not you." Lu Nao saw through A Lao's little thoughts at a glance, "I'll just follow you, actually I'm not convinced either."
"Hey, let's follow."
The two came back online. Before the four soldiers had gone far, the two monsters followed quietly. It went smoothly at first, but then it stopped. There were more and more soldiers with military emblems, and they greeted each other when they met. It was obvious that they were
A group of people. Moving forward, the soldiers began to clear monsters. All monsters in the garrison area were killed. Monsters outside the area were not allowed to enter, and people from other forces were strictly prohibited from approaching. The two monsters wanted to take a detour.
But they found that this area has been blocked by various major forces, and there is no gap in the middle. There is no way for a monster with such a dazzling appearance to sneak into the central area.
We had no choice but to go offline again to discuss countermeasures. "Hey, this system is real. It doesn't provide a chat function. We are both monsters and can't communicate directly." Oshiro complained as soon as he took off his helmet.
Lu Nao rolled his eyes at him: "Now is not the time to talk about this. I think this way, we go to the outside to find a corpse, take off the clothes and dress up like him. Anyway, my monster is also in human form, put on clothes and a hood and mask
You can’t tell it’s a monster at all, so you’re just hiding on me, so why don’t we just blend in?”
"What a great idea! Sister Lu Nao is really smart!" A Lao gave a thumbs up, "Then what are you waiting for! Let's go!"
You can't play tricks on soldiers. The army has passwords and other identity verification methods, which are too easy to expose, so you can only find adventurers with a loose organization, which are easier to find. Look through the corpses scattered in every corner of the maze.
After waiting for a long time, Lu Nao finally wore a pink cotton coat, loli pants, and a screaming hood, which finally covered up his non-human features. Of course, because they were collected from different people, the outfit looked very inconsistent.
The style of painting is unique. Now I can’t care so much about it.
Compared with other forces, the Adventurer's Guild's vigilance is much looser. Because the members are all scattered from all over the world, it is impossible to have unified uniforms, passwords, etc., so as long as you do not intentionally wear the uniforms of other forces, you can
He didn't conceal his identity as a monster, so he was basically released without any inspection. Ao wrapped himself around Lu Nao's neck and observed the outside world through the gap at the lower edge of the screaming hood.
The station is very lively, and there are adventure groups stationed in almost every corner. It seems that there is still some time before the BOSS battle, and some people are bored and start setting up stalls to trade the treasures obtained by killing monsters, some of which are worth a lot of money at a glance.
A Lao simply wanted Lu Cuo to execute him on the spot in exchange for the treasure.
We finally arrived at the central area, which should be where the BOSS appeared. Unexpectedly, this place was not land, but a large pool. People from all forces formed a circle around the pool. The adventurers obviously
Discipline is loose and there is a lot of discussion.
"This BOSS is underwater?" "Yes, and the water is quite deep." "No one thought there would be a water battle when we entered the maze, and now we can't send boats in." "No wonder it's necessary.
There are so many of us, and this BOSS is fighting us in the water. He is just like a fish in water." "Hey, look what that is!"
Bubbles suddenly appeared on the water, attracting everyone's attention. Bang! The water surface suddenly exploded, and several broken human bones flew out and landed on the land.
"Ah, is this the person who dared to go into the water before and was eaten?" "I heard that the boss is a shark monster, so it's not strange to eat people."
Lu Nao squeezed in the crowd, and A'ao looked around, looking for the four people who had rebelled against the adventure group, but of course he could not find them. "Could it be that they didn't come to such a big gathering?" A'ao felt disappointed.
"Please be quiet!" The noise was suddenly broken by a clear and loud male voice. It turned out to be a soldier wearing a ?-shaped military badge who stood up. The airflow above the pool swirled and swirled, creating waves of ripples.
Someone recognized him: "He is an officer in the period of escape from the Jingjing Legion!"
The officer made no secret of his cultivation, and finally made the adventurers, the main source of noise, quiet down a bit. The officer continued: "In case anyone is unclear, I will repeat it again. In addition to getting the rewards from the BOSS in this BOSS battle, the officer continued
In addition to a large amount of treasures, the door will be reopened. Since it closed, I, like everyone else, have been anxious and eager to return. Now as long as we eliminate this BOSS, even if you unfortunately don't grab the treasures, you can return safely. This is for us.
Everyone, so please cooperate, listen to my orders, and don't act without authorization!" This sentence is mainly for the adventurers. People from other forces have strict organizations. As long as they reach an agreement with their superiors, it is impossible to follow orders.
question.
"This BOSS is different from ordinary monsters. It hides underwater and is good at fighting in the water. Before we discovered this place, we didn't carry any water fighting equipment, and now we can't get it from outside. It's very disadvantageous to fight it in the water here, so
That's why we came up with this human sea tactical plan. The average depth of this pool is 1.5m, and most people can still show their heads when they stand in it. Therefore, we must make full use of the advantage of the number of people and enter the water together to squeeze the BOSS's activity space and leave it nowhere to go.
Hide, show up and be slaughtered! If anyone doesn't want to go into the water, please leave now and don't disturb the order here." Some short adventurers, or those who don't want to perform wet temptations, probably won't be able to catch it looking at so many people.
Fortunately, they retreated in twos and threes.
"Okay, now everyone can enter the water in an orderly manner. Pay attention to your steps when entering the water, don't fall, and don't stay too far away from other people. If you find the BOSS, call the police immediately!" The soldiers entered the water in a neat formation, while the adventurers were in twos and threes.
The underground water flows into the water along with people.
"Uh-huh!" Plop! The screams and the sound of falling into the water attracted the attention of the whole audience.
"What's going on?" "The BOSS has appeared?" "Be on guard!" "Where is my weapon?"
There was a sudden commotion among the adventurers, but the army was still in good order and made judgments. The officer shouted: "Quiet! Don't be chaotic! What's going on?"
It gradually became quiet, and a middle-aged man poked his head out of the water, turned around and cursed: "I can get into the water myself, I don't want you to push me!" It turned out that he was pushed into the water suddenly from behind.
The officer rubbed his temples. If it were his soldier, he would have chopped him off with a knife. Now he could only shout: "Pay attention to order! Don't push! Don't crowd! Don't fall! Prevent stampedes!"
"Uh-huh!" Plop! The screams and the sound of falling into the water attracted the attention of the whole audience.
"What's going on?" "The BOSS has appeared?" "Be on guard!" "Where is my weapon?"
There was a sudden commotion among the adventurers, but the army was still orderly and decisive. The officer shouted: "Quiet! Don't be chaotic! What's going on?" However, not only did it not quiet down this time, the water in the center of the commotion was also filled with blood.
"Someone is injured!" "The BOSS must have appeared!" "What to do?" "Kill!" "If you can't beat it, run away!"
The adventurers suddenly became a mess. As the blood spread, the situation was completely out of control. Even though the officer shouted hoarsely, everyone just ran for their lives. The turbulent flow of people and water drowned many unlucky people. If anyone fell here, it would be wrong.
To drown is to be trampled to death. As Ao Lu Nao was less affected at the back, he felt that the scene was simply humiliating, and he did not find the adventure group with him, so he slowly retreated with the flow of people.
"Oh my God, these guys are really hopeless." The officer silently held his forehead.
"I told you a long time ago, you can't command these stragglers." The person who spoke was another man with a military emblem behind the officer. "It's better to blast them out directly. The scattered sand will die in the pool and be returned to the BOSS.
Use it as a bunker. Do you understand that soldiers are more valuable than elites?"
"Okay, I'm going to give in this time, and you'll be in charge." The young officer stepped back with a dark face.
"It should have been like this a long time ago." The new officer stood in front of the stage and shouted: "On behalf of the Aimu Federation, I hereby order all adventurers to leave the battlefield immediately! We will forcibly clear the battlefield in three minutes!"
As soon as these words came out, those who wanted to take advantage of the chaos were not happy: "Why?" "Are you great soldiers?" "Don't run away, everyone, we are not afraid of these warlords if we unite!" "Down with the great powers!"
Get rid of the warlords!"
As a result, some people wanted to retreat, while others wanted to fight, and the scene became even more chaotic. Amidst the noise, people fell into the water from time to time, and then blood overflowed. It was unclear whether they were eaten by the boss or plotted by the enemy.
Three minutes passed by in a blink of an eye. The officer gave the order in an unhurried manner: "Spray the Clean Corps, the Shuxiao Guild, the Mandarin Qi Corps, the Aimu Federation, and the Anliang Party units. Pay attention. Advance across the board, step by step, and kill those who stand in the way!" Soldier,
After hearing this, the members and party members acted together, moved forward in an orderly manner, and soon met the adventurer group. "Have you found the BOSS yet?"
"Report, no!"
"Hmph, you are hiding in the crowd and don't dare to come out." The officer smiled cruelly, "Attention, all units, maintain the forward speed, carefully search for the BOSS, expel the adventurers, and punish the resisters on the spot!"
There is never a shortage of thorns among the adventurers, and battles soon broke out. Although these adventures were full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, which could make the soldiers suffer for a while, they were still stragglers after all, and they were still retreating in front of the unified command of the group army. Although they had high cultivation
of individuals, but not high enough to ignore the difference in numbers. The water in the pool was further dyed red, and more and more adventurers began to choose to escape, and those who resisted were killed in large numbers. Seeing that the circle of adventurers was getting smaller and smaller, the officer
His face finally became a little clearer.
A'ao Lucuo was the first group to withdraw. They were originally from the monster side, and A'ao had served in the military, so naturally they were unwilling to wade through this muddy water again. "Ah, it's suffocating me." I found no one.
The corner was offline, and Lu Nao finally breathed a sigh of relief, "It's a pity that they didn't seem to go. They are probably recovering from their injuries."
"It's still early today. Let's take a break and continue looking for someone?" "??"
When it comes to finding someone, it actually means finding the place where we first met. But the maze is full of twists and turns, the map only has the bottom layer, and I can’t figure out where I am on the map. It’s really painful to find a specific place.
"Ah, we can finally go out!" Looking at the reopened door of the maze, Ji Jing felt as if he was surviving a disaster. "It's a pity that A'ao and the others were not found. I hope they are safe. As he spoke, a tall figure stood in the way.
In front of Piao Zong, this man's whole head was covered in a screaming hood with a strange painting style. Just as Piao Zong was about to ask, he saw a snake head emerging from under the hood. Who else could it be except A'ao?
"Haha, it turns out that you are really not dead!" In a deserted corner, Piao Zong said with a happy smile, "You will be my brothers of life and death from now on. If you have something to say, say it directly and never refuse!"
Zhi Shi handed Lu Cuo a trace-shaped badge: "This is the token of our adventure group. If you can get out alive, you can use it as a clue to find us more easily." The world is so big that finding a small adventure group is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Having a token makes it much easier.
But Lu Cuo took one look and returned it to him: "Thank you, but there is one thing you may not know. As soon as we die, the things we carry will be lost. Now I just remember the shape."
"I see, that's really unfortunate." Zhi Shi had no choice but to take it back in embarrassment.
Parting requires a lot of cherishing, but cherishing also inevitably leads to parting. Looking at the backs of the four people leaving, Ao suddenly had a premonition that the real suffering had just begun.
Since the closing incident, people who come in have become extremely eager for quick success and quick gains, and they will run away when they get something cheap. They don't dare to stay in the maze for fear of being locked in. Oshio has no chance to find anyone with whom he can communicate.
Fighting, if you can beat it, you will be a meal, if you can't beat it, it will be your life. Gradually, A'ao no longer regards himself as a human being, but concentrates on being a highly intelligent basilisk that eats people for a living. After many battles, Lu
Cuo Lu Nao will inevitably die several times, and each time he dies, he will become stronger. After going offline every day, the two of them gradually become speechless. They have long since chewed up the story of A Lao, and they just feel it silently in bed.
They chatted with each other for comfort. Although there were fewer words, the tacit understanding was growing. Being unable to chat online gradually became less critical. The two of them could often understand each other with just one movement, and their combat coordination became exquisite.
"To me, she is the only meaningful existence in this world. Others are just illusions, appearing today and dying tomorrow; but she and I are eternal." - Ayao
Disappointment, numbness, and indifference to life made A Lao gradually become ruthless and decisive. It was not that he wanted to be like this, but that the enemy forced him to do so. "The enemies think they have life, and in my eyes they are all fighting machines.
That’s all. He screams with red eyes and kills as soon as he meets him. Apart from killing him, what else can he communicate with? Trying to communicate is nothing more than losing another life.” - Otsuo.
Six years have passed like this. It seems that the snake egg left the mother's body too early or was not fertilized. As a result, it failed to hatch and was eaten before it rotted.
Life and death, blood and fire, polished Atsuo's fighting consciousness to perfection. So much so that the system later even gave him a new body, a monkey-shaped autonomous robot. After early adaptation, this body was closer to humanoid.
It makes his fighting skills more refined. The training of "Rose Body" is progressing rapidly, but it is still far away from breaking through to the late stage of Zinc Mu. This is actually an astonishing speed. You must know that Qiao Dian was more than 100 years old before he broke through.
He is in the late stage of Zinmu, and A Lao has just turned 20, and the latter stage of Zinmu is already in sight, so his qualifications are not low.
