Chapter 201 The Arrival of the Brave Team
Chapter 201 The Arrival of the Brave Team
As the regional missions from the Adventurer's Guild were issued, a bloody storm immediately broke out in the Green Abyss Forest. The deadly battle between Homo sapiens and monsters increased exponentially, and the casualty rate continued to rise.
The rising death rate did not scare away the adventurers who flocked to the area.
In the eyes of the nobles, being an adventurer is a profession that brings freedom and wealth, but in the eyes of the common people, it is just a profession that involves licking blood from a knife and exchanging life for money.
They all understand the principle of high risk and high return, and the risk is not much greater than before, because they also hunt in the Green Abyss Forest on weekdays.
Now the monsters are just a little more active, but they can't stop their desire for money.
They do anything with high risk and high return, not to mention anything with high risk and super high return.
This also leads to some dark things happening more frequently.
The entire Green Abyss Forest became a little restless.
Ash stood quietly in the air, watching indifferently the ugly events of betrayal, robbery, theft, etc. Because of the [Incarnation of Disaster], he could see clearly that some auras were drifting towards the depths of the Green Abyss Forest.
Those auras are constantly breaking down the outermost seal of the abyss passage.
Turning around, Ash returned to the demiplane created by the Liuxin Snail.
"Have you made up your mind? Do you want to be my subordinate?" Ash said as he looked at the Liuxin Snail, whose breath was even weaker than a few days ago.
After the conversation that day, Ash invited the Liuxin Snail to become his follower and promised to heal its bloodline conflict.
"I don't like fighting and killing." The Liuxin Snail shook its tentacles.
"I don't need you to fight and kill." Ash shook his head, "I value your talent more. As for fighting and killing, I am enough."
With [Xin Hua Wan Qian] and [Shura] around, he can support a force by himself, so in terms of combat power, he is almost enough.
What Ash values more is the talent of the Liuxin Snail. People fear power rather than virtue. Fear is the fastest way to rule. With this Lord of Dread around, it will be easier for him to manage his power in the future.
More importantly, with its talent, becoming a demigod is a foregone conclusion.
The six dragon servants, Secretary Riki, Victoria, Asakusa Ruri and Widow Katyusha, these ten are destined to become the tenth of Maria's twelve pillars, but there are still two missing, and Liuxin Snail is a very good candidate.
"Really?" asked the Liuxin Snail.
"Really." Ash glanced at the Flowing Snail, "Don't you have psychic abilities? Are you afraid that I will lie to you?"
"I'm afraid." Liuxin Snail nodded his tentacles. "I've also encountered people who told lies as truths, and I almost got into trouble."
"Besides, all my mental strength is put into suppressing my bloodline. It is far from enough to sense your mental fluctuations."
"So, do you agree or not?" Ash spread his hands.
"I agree." The Liuxin snail shook its tentacles. "Even if I don't agree, you will probably force me, right?"
"Your intuition is quite sharp." Ash smiled but did not answer. If Liuxin Snail did not agree, he did intend to force the contract.
It is very difficult to find a demigod seedling who is free from all worries like Liuxin Snail, and Ash has no intention of wasting too much time on the search.
A streak of dark golden blood appeared on his fingertips, and Ash pointed at the Flowing Heart Snail and said, "Don't resist."
Then he flicked his finger, and a drop of dark golden blood bounced into the mouth of the flowing snail like a bead.
【Dragon Blood Reincarnation】
The overbearing force instantly tore the whole body of the Liuxin Snail apart. The intense pain immediately made the Liuxin Snail enter a state of mind where it was detached from the world, neither happy with things nor sad with itself. The Liuxin Snail watched from a detached perspective as the overbearing blood power devoured the chaotic blood power one by one and gradually changed its appearance.
Ash was also a little surprised, because the blood power of the Liuxin Snail was too much, there were hundreds of kinds, and all kinds of common demons might have been eaten by it.
This messy state made Ash feel quite difficult and he could only sort it out bit by bit.
Just as Ash was combing the blood of the Liuxin Snail, a team arrived at the largest city near the Green Abyss Forest, the Demon Sealing City.
In the Adventurer's Guild, a middle-aged man with a greasy look said to the young man who looked so friendly in front of him, "Welcome, Saint Wing Brave Man."
"No need to be polite, President Merrick." The Holy Winged Warrior Maxim supported the middle-aged man and said, "Let's get down to business. I heard that you have news about the Dreadlord?"
"Yes." Merrick nodded. "Please take a seat."
Maxim sat down with his companions, three women and one man. If Ash were here, he would definitely recognize that this was the team of brave men that he had followed to infiltrate the Titan Temple a few months ago.
"That Dreadlord is so abominable. Not only did it kill dozens of my men, but with its appearance, the seal of the abyss passage in the Green Abyss Forest also showed signs of being unlocked." Merrick said indignantly, "My lord, you must kill it!"
"We'll do our best." Maxim nodded. "Any more specific information?"
"No." Merrick smiled awkwardly, "I'm a manager, so I don't work on the front lines. Those who come into contact with the Dreadlord on the front lines either die or go crazy."
Some died, some went crazy? Maxim grasped the key point: "So, there are still people alive?"
"Yes." Merrick rubbed his hands, "But the man has gone completely crazy. Even though I found the best therapist in the city to treat him, there was not much improvement."
"Can we visit him later? My companion is also proficient in treating psychological trauma." Maxim said.
Merrick nodded: "No problem, it is an honor for Yuri to be treated by the brave man."
"It's nothing to be honored about." Maxim waved his hand modestly.
"My lord, you are too modest." Merrick continued to flatter him.
Maxim chatted with him for a few more words, then stood up to say goodbye, declining the accommodation arranged by Merick.
On the way, Maxim said, "Luna, do you feel anything particularly strange?"
Luna is the most sensitive person among them, and she will definitely be the first to sense anything unusual.
"No." Elf Archer Luna shook her head. "Is there any problem?"
"There's nothing wrong with what he said. It's the truth." Maxim frowned, "But I always feel like he's hiding something."
"Do you want me to go and spy on you?" Luna raised her hand. She could occasionally play the role of an assassin.
Maxim thought for a moment and shook his head: "Thank you, Luna."
"Then I'll go first." Luna said, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
This reckless behavior made Maxim slap his face helplessly. Isn't this clearly telling others that she was going to spy?
If there was something wrong with Merrick, he would have gotten the message by now.
Forget it, we’ll know whether there is a problem or not by looking at the information Luna brings back.
Maxim is quite confident in Luna's ability to collect information.
