The Strongest Mercenary of Naruto

Chapter 464 Adventure ([-])

"what is this?!"

Under the weak light, Uchiha Kazuhiko noticed that there seemed to be something on the ground in front of him, and he walked up to check carefully, and found that it turned out to be a rotten human skeleton.

The clothes on the skeleton showed that he was an adventurer with the same identity as Uchiha Kazuhiko and others before his death, but it is not known whether he came to challenge the dungeon alone and died here, or whether he died in a group expedition and his body was taken away by his companions. Abandoned here.

"Huh" Akua let out a light sigh, came to the corpse, and after watching it for a while, nodded to confirm: "Well, I am sure I read correctly, this corpse is transforming into an undead creature, wait a moment, I will first It purifies, lest it turn into a monster and attack us."

Akuya muttered something like a prayer, then reached out and waved at the skeleton, a faint light suddenly appeared on the skeleton, and a phantom-like soul floated out of the skeleton, crossing the limitation of space, directly Fly into the reincarnation space of the God Realm.

The wandering soul was led to ascend to heaven, and the process of the skeleton becoming undead would naturally end, turning into dust in a cold wind blowing from nowhere.

Having said that, if Aqua can be as serious as she is now in normal times, maybe her followers will be a little more normal, at least, they won't be reduced to a 'horror' that makes normal people and even the Demon King's army turn pale. exist.

Uchiha Kazuhiko, who has keen senses, sensed that something was approaching, and reminded softly, "Be careful, something seems to be coming."

"Papa papa."

As soon as the words fell, the weird footsteps became hasty, and then, a small humanoid monster rushed out from the dark passage, and rushed towards Akuya who was looking around.

"[Frostbolt]!"

"[Spurt]!"

Uchiha Kazuhiko and Sato Kazuma reacted very quickly, attacking when the humanoid monster jumped into the air, and instantly killed this weak monster.

This humanoid monster is similar to a goblin, but it has black skin and a pair of small demon horns. I don't know if it was attracted by the voices of the crowd, or by the light from Aqua's purified corpse. .

Sato and Makoto flipped the corpse of the humanoid monster lightly with their feet, and then asked Akua, "Well, Akua, do you know what this guy is?"

After taking a closer look, Akua explained: "This is a low-level demon named Gremlin. Because the magic power of the dungeon is stronger than that of the ground, sometimes such weak demons appear."

"So that's it. The monster information that the people in the guild told me does have the name of this monster." Sato Kazuma nodded knowingly, then put on a disgusted look, and complained: "But it looks really good. Ugly."

"Gremlin has shed a lot of blood. The smell may attract other monsters. Let's leave as soon as possible and continue to investigate information."

Uchiha Kazuhiko also recognized this monster, and found that the wound of the corpse was bleeding out, so he reminded the two to continue today's main task.

Perhaps just as Akuya said, to the undead who had wandered around in the dark and cold dungeon for a long time, the living seemed very dazzling.

During the next exploration process, the three encountered many attacks from undead creatures. Fortunately, Uchiha Kazuhiko was always very sensitive to the sense of crisis, and Aqua, the high priest who restrained undead creatures, did not happen. Too critical a situation.

"Souls who are lost in this dark and cold dungeon, please sleep peacefully!"

After purifying an undead creature again, Akua breathed a sigh of relief as if she had finished her job, and said bitterly: "Oh, which one is this? It's just a simple dungeon, how could there be so many of them?" Undead creatures, it's almost exhausting me."

Although Uchiha Kazuhiko didn't complain, the monsters that appeared more and more frequently also consumed a lot of his magic power.

"You guys have worked hard. You really helped me a lot today. If I came alone, I'm afraid that something bad will happen by now."

Sato Kazuma, who was planning to come alone to explore the way, thanked the two who accompanied him into the dungeon with lingering fear.

"Hmph, now you know the usefulness of me, Aqua-sama."

Akuya snorted in both surprise and pride, then rummaged through the suspected palace room where the three of them were, wanting to see if there were valuable treasures such as gold coins hidden here.

"Sigh, there is no treasure." After searching the palace, Akuya sighed and said, "Although this is a labyrinth that has been ruined by people, I didn't expect too much, but we have all been waiting until now. It’s really disappointing that there’s nothing to gain.”

"Well, this is the upper area of ​​the dungeon after all. Many new adventurers have come here to explore. In the relatively dangerous areas of the lower layer, there should be some treasures that have not been discovered by other adventurers."

While Sato Kazuma comforted Akua, he continued to look for the way forward. It didn't take long before he found a staircase extending downwards, which was the entrance to the lower area of ​​the dungeon.

"What should we do now? Should we continue to explore the lower level, or return to the ground to join Huihui and the others, and then formally enter tomorrow?"

Sato Kazuma stood in front of the entrance steps and asked his teammates for their opinions. To be precise, it was Uchiha Kazuhiko's opinion alone.

After Uchiha Kazuhiko thought for a while, he said, "Let's go back, today's consumption is a bit high, and we have explored for so long, if we don't go back, Megumin and Darkness will probably worry about us."

"Hey, are you really not going to continue? Obviously, I can earn some more rewards today."

As a goddess, Akuya's magical power is almost endless. It is rare to encounter a place where undead creatures gather, and she wants to keep it here to continue making money.

"Idiot Akuya, we are going back, if you want to stay, you can stay."

Sato Kazuma didn't consider her thoughts at all. After saying this, he turned and left with Uchiha Kazuhiko, and returned along the direction recorded when he came.

"I know, I know, can't I go? You two guys wait for me."

Seeing the backs of the two walking further and further away, the timid Akuya panicked all of a sudden, reluctantly looked at the entrance of the lower floor, and chased after them angrily.

Compared with the slow groping when he came in, he went up much faster when he returned. It didn't take long before he returned to the ground, joined Hui Hui and the other two, and told them the information in the upper area of ​​the dungeon.
