Chapter 10 Guild adventurers arrive
and Xicheng.
The coordinates of the permanent rift in Hexi City have been announced for a day.
According to the information received from the guild, it seems to be a rift space that can produce large amounts of slimes.
The president just warned not to go inside the high walls.
The outer plains can be freely explored.
The most popular tasks in the mission hall today are the slime catching missions issued by merchants and nobles.
This time, no matter whether they were novice adventurers, or the backbone of adventurers, such as beginners, intermediates, and seniors, they all joined the team headed for the crack outside the city.
The Maple Leaf team felt baffled.
Are trainee adventurers and junior adventurers kidding?
I made it very clear during the report the day before yesterday, but a few people couldn't understand it at all.
If a slime of that kind appears after killing a slime, they would not dare to imagine such a scene.
Junior adventurers are almost always disabled, let alone intern adventurers.
Especially a team where even the captain is just a junior adventurer.
It's almost the same as dying.
Until I passed by the Adventurer's Guild and saw the detailed explanation of the inside of the maze on the largest bulletin board.
Several people swallowed unconsciously.
I always feel like something big might happen to Xicheng recently.
So I hurried to the president's office.
At this time, the president was drinking tea slowly and reading the Empire Morning News, and was a little curious when he saw the four people coming in.
"I wonder what else the four little heroes have to do when they come to my place?"
The leader, Zhou Tianyou, stepped forward quickly:
"Sir President, what's going on with the announcement inside the maze outside?"
The old president nodded naturally.
"That's exactly my handiwork. How about it? After my polishing, does it become more real?"
As he spoke, he stroked his beard and laughed.
The four members of the Maple Leaf team looked confused. You don’t care whether it makes sense or not, the key is that it is our personal experience!
The old president saw the four people's expressions looking a little strange and felt that they might be too concerned about the decrees issued by the empire, so he comforted them:
"Thank you all little heroes for actively responding to the imperial decree, but you have to be realistic, right?"
"According to what you said, someone has to believe it. You are still young, kid."
"Don't worry, the Empire will remember your contribution."
Xu Lulu was a little anxious:
"However, apprenticeships and juniors..."
The president interrupted:
"The little girl has a good heart and knows that you are worried about the safety of the trainee adventurers and junior adventurers."
"No buts, calm down and keep faith in us and the adventurers in Xicheng. An adventurer who can't even defeat a slime is not an adventurer."
"Don't worry, if anything happens, I will take full responsibility and I will never cause any trouble to you."
"Didn't you also say that you only encounter three kinds of slimes? An Xin, An Xin..."
The Maple Leaf team almost didn't say anything until they walked out of the president's office in a daze.
Until now, several people still haven't understood what the imperial decree the president was talking about was.
Not to mention responsive.
Now a few people can only silently wish good luck to those low-level adventurers heading to the rift.
What they didn't know was that the adventurers were in bad luck this time, and many adventurers were suffering from slime phobia.
The kind that gets a stress reaction when seeing a slime...
A few people got together today, naturally not for hanging out, but also thinking about whether they could go to the guild to see if there were any suitable tasks.
Most of the things I brought back last time are still being appraised, and all the more than [-] gold coins were sold through the guild.
About 300 million spiritual coins were obtained, which were divided equally among the four people, and each of them received 75.
It can be said that they have never obtained so many spirit coins at one time. Apart from giving a small part of the money to their families, most of it will be used to upgrade equipment and the like.
Zhou Tianyou spent 10 to buy a dagger that could bind spirits, although it could only bind spirits twice.
Then he spent another 50 to find a transcendent spirit bonder to bind the weapon with a light skill, which can greatly improve the fit between the weapon and the person, making the sword swing faster and more accurate.
Judging from the fact that the equipment of the other three people has been updated more or less, it is estimated that there is not much money left.
Returning to the mission hall downstairs, everyone looked even weirder as they watched the slimes being captured. They clearly remembered that they said in the report that the slimes inside could not be captured. Did they remember it all wrong?
There are also many adventurers who fill out mission contracts with the ladies who serve in the Adventurer Guild.
The four of them simply ignored these tasks of capturing slimes and searched through them, but found nothing.
Hexi City was originally a peaceful city in a safe zone, and there were no high-level monsters around.
After earning 300 million at a time, looking at these tasks that cost up to [-] and ranged from a few thousand to less is really not motivating.
Capturing the slimes was a bit exciting, and they offered money based on appearance, color and rarity, but a few people knew that there was no chance.
This time, businessmen with a keen sense of business may be disappointed.
Although the slimes in that space are all top-notch in appearance, and if you catch one, it will definitely cost tens of thousands of spirit coins, but the problem is that you can't catch it.
They also tried inputting magic power into the slime, but nothing happened.
After leaving the guild, we said goodbye to each other, went home, and gathered at the entrance of the guild with our equipment tomorrow morning.
At present, Hexicheng's large troops are still in Ducheng next door, and it will take two days to fly back by the giant eagle.
Nowadays, there are less than two hundred adventurers heading to the rift from Hexi City, with trainees and juniors accounting for more than half of them, thirty or forty intermediate adventurers are good, and there are only a dozen senior adventurers.
But everyone who knew the difficulty of the rift didn't think they could kill many people.
They thought of killing a few more slimes quickly before the large troops crossing the city came back. After all, if they killed one slime, they would have to look farther away if they wanted to find slimes in the future.
Early the next morning, another twenty or thirty adventurer teams who had returned from nearby gathered in front of the guild hall. Of course, there were also many loners, including adventurers of all levels.
The members of the Maple Leaf Team are not eye-catching in the crowd, mainly because the adventurers who have recently returned to Hexi City do not know that these people are the discoverers of the rift, and even the names on the announcement are vaguely remembered.
In this way, the small team followed the large army and set off towards the crevice.
At the same time, the first few teams to take action have arrived at the entrance at high speed.
Looking at this unique crack, everyone was amazed.
Yan Mu from the Demon King's City also felt the breath of leeks, no, adventurers.
He stood up from the throne excitedly.
After a moment of sensing, I discovered that there were a total of 8 adventurers from the three adventurers who besieged the Slime King before their strength was reached.
The remaining ten or so are swordsmen, archers, shield warriors and the like with weaker auras.
Like the previous pastor, there was none.
Now he has determined that this wave is leeks, no doubt.
Without a priest, they can't get quick treatment when dealing with wasp attacks. Being stung once or twice may be nothing, but if it happens a few more times, tsk tsk.
Of course, I don’t know if they have a blood-restoring potion like Yan Mu in the game.
As everyone stepped out of the portal, almost everyone covered their eyes subconsciously.
After seeing the surrounding scene clearly, they all cheered subconsciously:
"This is heaven!"
"Why are there so many slimes!"
“And each one is of very high quality, with no variegation at all!”
The smiles on the faces of the eight intermediate and advanced adventurers could not be hidden at this time.
"Team assembled!"
The first five people shouted in unison.
At this time, the chaotic crowd gradually moved closer to their captain.
Yan Mu was a little surprised. He thought they were in the same team, but he didn't expect that they were actually five teams.
Now it's even more interesting.
The five captains at the head of the team greeted each other politely, and then walked in five directions away from the Immortal Labyrinth.
Apparently they knew each other.
As the strongest team among the first batch of adventurers to enter this time, the Wind Chaser team has one senior shield warrior, two intermediate swordsmen, and two junior archers.
This configuration has been successful in previous adventures, and their slogan is as free as the wind.
The pursuit is high mobility. The leader is Wu Hu, a high-level wind attribute shield warrior. He has a wild and impetuous personality. He always feels that the actions of priests and magicians are too slow, which reduces his efficiency in completing tasks.
This is also the reason why the team as a senior shield warrior does not have a priest.
The group of people didn't go very far, but stopped when they couldn't see the rest of the team.
Looking around, the surroundings were similar to when we first entered, with twenty or thirty slimes of various colors.
But at a glance, it is still green, but has some color tendencies to other colors.
There are also a few that are about one meter in size, probably the large slimes on the bulletin board.
"By the way, is that a free-range mushroom?"
At this time, an archer in the team pointed to three strange mushrooms not far away that had their roots embedded in the soil.
"Probably not."
An intermediate swordsman was not sure. No one had ever heard of a walking mushroom that was over one meter tall. The normal size of a walking mushroom was only about [-] centimeters.
Only then did everyone focus on this strange-looking mushroom.
Several people before were blinded by money, no, slime.
"But I just saw it move."
The archer from before was a little unsure and a little confused.
As the captain, Wu Hu didn't care about this at all and said:
"It doesn't matter even if it's a walking mushroom. It won't attack us actively. Don't worry about it. It's important to catch the slime."
After everyone thought about it, it was indeed the case.
When we first came here, we bumped into several of them.
The nearest one passed by and was not attacked.
And free-range mushrooms are not very valuable.
Then he put his heart back in his stomach and packed up the tools needed to capture the slime.
Their capture tools are much better than those of the Maple Leaf Team.
It's not an exaggeration to say he is professional. The backpack on Wu Hu's back is the largest and can hold several people. The two swordsmen are slightly smaller, but there is no problem in carrying an adult.
This is also the routine operation of the adventurer team. After all, there are no items such as space rings in Qiling Continent. The best way to take every adventure is to carry a larger backpack with you.
In addition, each adventurer's backpack contains the floating spirit bonding skill of an intermediate spirit bonding master.
Carrying it on your back actually doesn't affect your movements much.
But to say there is no weight is impossible.
Occupations such as mages, priests, and archers generally do not carry too large backpacks.
But after all, archers are not as weak as mages and priests. They are often seen carrying backpacks that are half a person high.
In addition to tents and clothing, the backpack also contains necessary first aid medicines, emergency food, etc.
The remaining space is reserved for mission items.
The group of people immediately took out a number of foldable and sealed jars about half a meter long. This was where the small slimes were stored after capturing them.
Magical creatures like slimes naturally don't breathe.
There are also two giant jars, which are used to hold large slimes.
After arranging the jars, several people showed relaxed smiles.
Fortunately, I had something to do before I delayed my trip to the city. Otherwise, I would have missed such an easy and profitable mission.
After that, as more and more slimes are circulated, the price will definitely drop slowly.
The purpose of their group is very clear, which is to capture the slimes and transport them to the exit.
The merchants' fleet will be waiting for them outside the exit.
After handing over and vacating the sealed jar, several people returned to the rift and continued to catch new slimes.
