Chapter 33 Strengthening the Statue
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
At this time, twelve fully armed adventurers stood under a huge dark red door.
However, the timid young priest wearing a bunny headband in the middle was a bit eye-catching.
So, how did Xu Lulu get in?
This matter started from one day ago.
Yesterday, Xu Lulu and her party continued to implement the mission of encircling and suppressing the giant stone puppet, turning on the Holy Wind and Holy Light prayers almost the entire process.
When the pastor of the passing guild saw it, his eyes almost popped out of his head!
They and their group have been working hard these past two days to help the dozen adventurers improve their cultivation.
They naturally know these two skills.
With the strength of their senior priests, they could barely hold on for seven or eight minutes if they released both skills at the same time.
In addition, the girl in front of them was almost constantly releasing a shield-type skill that they had never seen before.
The consumption is terrifying just thinking about it.
But she did it!
For these pastors who are already in their [-]s and [-]s, this is simply a challenge to what they have known for many years.
Later, after observing from a distance for a long time, I found that this little priest's magic power seemed to be free of charge.
Even when he was on the road, he maintained two buff states.
The leader, the extraordinary-level priest, quickly walked up to the Maple Leaf team without even thinking about it.
The invitation was initiated immediately.
After some calculations by the team and the chief priest's repeated assurances of safety, Xu Lulu was allowed to follow and attack the Goblin Lord.
On the same day, Maple Leaf Squad followed the main force back to the guild station.
Xu Lulu followed the chief priest to meet with the strategy personnel.
And then there's the situation now.
There are ten people involved in the main strategy this time, five of whom are extraordinary archers, three extraordinary shield warriors, and two extraordinary swordsmen.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the lineup is unprecedented in Hexicheng.
Before this magical rift, the total number of extraordinary levels was not as much as the new ones in the past two days.
A large number of adventurers who were stuck in the mid-step of transcendence have stepped into the transcendent level that they had never hoped to achieve in their lives.
Hexi City has finally gotten rid of the situation of scarcity of high-end adventurers.
If this situation happened in other cities, the president would probably faint with joy...
President He Xi looked towards the direction of the crack with worry.
Although there is currently no news of punishment from His Majesty.
But it is an indisputable fact that the princess disappeared in her own territory. All she can do is to try her best to save the current situation.
At the entrance of the giant gate, the chief priest was making final plans.
At the same time, he told a female wind attribute swordsman to pay attention to protecting Xu Lulu's safety.
After all, except for Xu Lulu, the rest of this team are all extraordinary adventurers.
"set off!"
The shield warrior walking at the front pushed open the dark red door and walked in first, and the people behind him quickly followed.
The chief pastor and Xu Lulu walked at the end of the team.
After all, there is only one monster inside, and there is no such thing as a broken queen.
Entering the giant gate, the chief priest released four or five one-time buffing skills in succession, while Xu Lulu was only responsible for releasing the Holy Wind and Holy Light Prayer.
Since he is only an intermediate priest, his benefit to extraordinary adventurers has been reduced by nearly half.
Fortunately, it is sustained and stable, which is difficult for even extraordinary priests to achieve.
Feeling the physical changes, the adventurers immediately geared up and became more confident.
In the past three days, while everyone was working hard to advance, they also conducted devilish dodge training.
The group of people walked forward for less than five minutes when a tall figure came from a distance.
Even though everyone was already mentally prepared, they were also frightened.
But he soon regained his composure.
Seeing the Goblin Lord starting to accumulate power in the distance, the adventurers quickly dispersed without being reminded.
At this time, in the Demon King's Hall, Yan Mu looked at the adventurers who had begun to dodge skillfully, and nodded happily.
Is this the adventurer I know?
Yan Mu has been following this team for a long time.
After all, this is the biggest and most obvious of all the highlights, and it’s hard not to notice.
But there seems to be some strange adventurer mixed in...
Looking at Xu Lulu, who was standing outside the battle and shielding the adventurers from time to time, Yan Mu fell into silence.
You also said you are not the protagonist?
I almost wrote Tiandao’s own daughter on my face!
Judging from what Yan Mu has observed in the past two days, as long as this group of adventurers can perform stably, it is not difficult to clear the Goblin Lord, and Xu Lulu here can only be regarded as the icing on the cake.
In the battlefield, the adventurers skillfully avoided the Goblin Lord's attack, and the Shield Warrior immediately stepped forward to stop the attack.
After all, the Goblin Lord has not yet become a real maze dweller, and has no consciousness of cutting into the back row.
He was easily attracted by the three shield warriors.
Judging from the values that jumped out of the goblin's head, the attack power of these adventurers fluctuated around 200.
From time to time, arrows were blocked by it.
Coupled with some attacks that cannot hurt vital parts, there are even fewer truly effective attacks.
Yan Mu silently gave Maze a thumbs up.
The maze monster hit the adventurer's vital part with a knife, and the opponent was kicked out on the spot. He was hit in the vital part with a knife, but only a little blood was deducted.
Are you angry?
Even more angry.
The monster will only cause full damage if it hits its vital points. For example, if it hits the arm or thigh, it won't even reach one-tenth of the damage.
Of course, except for slimes and ooze monsters, these magical creatures will deduct all their blood as long as they hit. Fortunately, they have a fixed injury-free mechanism.
This was something Yan Mu discovered later.
Back to the battle situation.
The real main output was actually only five archers. Although the two swordsmen went up and slashed twice from time to time, due to the huge height difference, they could not reach the vital point at all.
"No, get out of here!"
The chief priest, who was always paying attention to the battle situation in the distance, shouted loudly.
The earth-type shield warrior, who was preparing to directly receive the attack, rolled over without thinking, dodging this enhanced version of the charged attack.
At the same time, a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
After fighting for a long time, he subconsciously resumed his previous fighting method.
Fortunately, with the blessing of various skills on his body, he would not be seriously injured.
Seeing that the attack missed, the Goblin Lord suddenly stamped his right foot on the ground, and a powerful impact instantly pushed away the two shield warriors and two swordsmen around him.
The injury was not serious, that is, the power of the shield attack of an intermediate shield warrior.
The two swordsmen were a little uncomfortable, but with the treatment of the extraordinary priest, they recovered immediately.
Of course there are some who are not injured.
It's the metal shield warrior who rushes to the front, preparing to attract hatred.
The shield blessed by Xu Lulu on him happened to be not knocked off.
The shield perfectly withstood this damage.
He just took a few steps back and didn't feel any other discomfort.
He immediately gave Xu Lulu a thumbs up.
"This shield is quite useful!"
The pastor saw veins popping out on his forehead and cursed loudly:
"Idiot! Look ahead!"
Then the metal shield warrior made a skillful jump back and just escaped the sweeping attack from the front.
After the whole battle, there were actually no twists and turns.
After all, with this lineup, even if you play recklessly, you still have a chance to pass the level.
Yan Yun looked at Yan Mu, who was grinning silly and cheerfully, and expressed that she couldn't guess what he was thinking at all.
Even though one of his men was killed, he didn't care at all.
However, she did meet two acquaintances in the customs clearance team this time.
They are the guild chief priest and the girl with a rabbit headband.
In the lord's room, the body of the Goblin Lord quickly decomposed and turned into a pile of bones in three or four minutes.
A tall war hammer, a small pile of gold coins, and a bottle of pale golden potion were left on the spot.
According to the previously negotiated terms, guild members will not participate in the distribution of loot.
Gold coins and the like were fine, but potions and war hammers left the adventurers completely undecided.
After all, there are no instructions for using this potion, so who knows what the effect will be.
No one wants a warhammer. In the minds of adventurers, it seems that only blacksmiths can handle hammers...
In the end, after going round and round, the chief priest spent [-] spirit coins to buy the potion, and the war hammer that no one wanted was carried on Xu Lulu's shoulders...
Xu Lulu is still confused.
Everyone felt that it would be a pity to lose it anyway, so they might as well give it as a favor to this young priest who seemed to have a bright future.
When it came to the distribution of gold coins, Xu Lulu said she wanted nothing more. After all, she had given herself this strange war hammer. Well, even though she didn’t really need it...
After taking a short rest, the group looked at another huge dark red door in the distance.
After finally completing the level, I naturally wanted to see what it was like on the other side.
If you really can't do it with your own strength, you can still escape.
The chief pastor and Xu Lulu were preparing to return to the first floor.
After all, the chief priest had a mission, and Xu Lulu felt it was safer to return to her teammates.
When he saw ten adventurers entering the second floor of the maze, Yan Mu's expression gradually became weird.
Good guy, you don’t need any potions for the return journey, so you can go directly to the second floor?
Although only one bottle is not enough...
[Return Potion: After taking it, you will be teleported out of the portal. 】
He just added this potion yesterday.
After all, unlocking the teleportation stele costs 15 souls, which I can't afford.
But Yan Mu forgot one very important thing.
Only Yan Mu himself can see the specific information about the return potion. To the adventurers, this is just a bottle of golden potion that they have never seen before.
Naturally, I won’t drink it rashly…
In the past few days, the number of people in the maze has increased sharply, probably because of the princess.
There are more than [-] adventurers on the first floor alone.
A large number of junior adventurers were piled outside the maze, led by some senior adventurers.
Most of these adventurers want to get a long slime knife. It is too time-consuming to kill elite slimes with a small team, so now we have paid to protect junior trainee adventurers and look for the Slime King. Another world version of professional training.
Currently, there are numerous training tasks on the guild taskbar, including apprentice, beginner, intermediate, and advanced.
It can be regarded as generating income for Hexicheng.
Yan Mu glanced around and saw a green dot in a medium-sized goblin camp on the first floor of the maze!
Opening the panel, sure enough, the number of residents came to 2.
With a thought, a strange picture appeared on the green dot...
A pig-headed monster and a green-skinned goblin wearing a loincloth sat beside the campfire and gnawed on the fruit.
While dancing, talking and laughing.
By the way, is there a monster with a pig head in my maze?
"Is this the pig adventurer?"
Yan Yun, who was sitting on Yan Mu's back, exclaimed.
At that time, this pig adventurer came running in embarrassment, blocking himself and saying that a giant dragon would come to abduct him.
At that time, she didn't believe his words at all, so...
Didn't she ride on a dragon?
Now that I think about it, I still feel a little resentful. Good guy, this giant dragon has been planning this for a long time.
She remembered that the pig adventurers were notified one day in advance...
Yan Mu heard Yan Yun exclaim and thought it was some kind of rare monster.
I'm considering whether to capture him and keep him first, since he has a bit of a collecting habit after all.
But when he thought about the distance between the two, his collecting habit was instantly cured.
He naturally thought of this monster, which seemed to have been caught with the goblins at that time...
Seeing how happily they were chatting, Yan Mu decided to wait.
However, he became increasingly confused about the current mechanism for increasing residents.
I know it's useless to think about it, so I simply don't think about it.
The maze gives itself a few residents, and it just accepts a few residents.
The two of them looked at the adventurers in the light screen for a while. Yan Yun finally got off Yan Mu's back. She was gesturing with the slime mother for unknown reasons, and then left mysteriously.
Yan Mu was not surprised. It seemed like it had been like this since the day before yesterday.
Open the panel and find the Immortal Labyrinth building partition.
I hesitated between the two maze buildings.
The enchanted statue can be used by adventurers to learn skills, and the strengthened statue can strengthen equipment.
After hesitating for a moment, he chose to strengthen the statue.
Who made the Possessed Spirit Statue, like the Contracted Spirit Statue, a thing that loses money in the early stage...
In addition, none of the monsters in the maze are residents of the Demon King's City. They rely on instinct to fight. The strength of today's adventurers is enough to handle them.
The moment you click to unlock, half of the bonded spirit statues in the maze sandbox are replaced with strengthened statues.
Only then did he know that there were only a fixed number of one thousand statues in the labyrinth.
To unlock other idols in the future, they should also be separated from these existing ones.
It seems like a lot, but the actual distance varies greatly. It is estimated that an unlucky adventurer may not be able to find it for half a month.
Compared with the last time he took the initiative to adjust, Yan Mu now was afraid that he was not far enough away and his position was not dangerous enough.
Only when adventurers run around, the chance of being found by monsters is greater...
There is nothing to set up to strengthen the statue. The initial strengthening price is 1000 gold coins.
After each success, the price doubles.
The chance of strengthening will also be reduced by 30% on the current basis.
Failure to strengthen may cause the equipment's strengthening level to regress. The specific probability is opposite to the success rate of strengthening, but it will not damage the equipment, which is very user-friendly.
The cost of strengthening the statue is 50% of the gold coins invested by the adventurer, and the remaining 50% is Yan Mu's net income.
Compared to the current Qiling God Statue, which loses nearly a thousand souls every day, it is simply making money!
