The society is afraid that Shota Demon King just wants to be a salted fish

Chapter 3 Adventurer Squad



High in the sky of the Immortal Maze, Yan Mu flew toward the outer portal while observing the changes in the maze.

There are a lot of slimes jumping on the grass along the road.

However, there are also some terrains where slimes are rarely seen, perhaps due to attribute incompatibility or something.

Viewed from a high altitude, the entire maze looks like a huge disk placed on a grassy field.

The periphery of the Immortal Labyrinth is a large expanse of green grass, with as far as the eye can see. It looks very healing.

The labyrinth part is not so much a maze as it is a lot of forked paths, with only a few paths that are impassable.

Most roads, no matter how many turns they take, will eventually lead to the Demon King's Castle.

Of course, you said go back the same way?

Then pretend I didn't say it.

Yan Mu's current speed has definitely exceeded the speed of sound, but the dragon's body gives him unparalleled dynamic vision.

Although you are high up in the sky, you can still see carefully even a blade of grass or a flower on the ground.

After flying for about an hour, we finally found the nearest portal entrance.

The entrance is like a dark purple black hole. Looking in from the outside, you can see a ray of white light in the distance, which should be the sunshine of another world.

The size of the entrance is just right for the current state of the dragon, and it doesn't feel crowded.

But the wings definitely cannot be spread.

There is a soft feeling at the edge of the black hole, which seems to be more comfortable than the unknown cushion on the throne.

By the way, can you take off a piece and put it on the throne...

He picked at it and, well, failed.

The portal is on the grassland more than ten kilometers away from the Immortal Labyrinth. Looking back, you can see the high walls of the labyrinth.

Even though they were so far away, they still needed to look up, and Yan Mu couldn't help but clicked his tongue.

I roughly estimated the distance between the portal and the center of the maze, and it felt like it was at least two thousand kilometers.

A normal person walking on two legs, walking five kilometers per hour for eight hours a day, would need to walk for about two months.

And even this is just a straight line distance!

So...so terrifying~ He contributes to the greenhouse effect in another world.

I looked back at the Immortal Maze again, feeling an inexplicable urge to go back and lie down...

"no!"

Quickly get rid of the bad thoughts in your head.

"As the Demon King of Self-Discipline, how can I give up halfway?"

Thinking about it, Yan Mu took firm steps and plunged into the black hole.

and the outskirts of Xicheng and Xichu Forest.

A man wearing leather armor, carrying a dagger at his waist, and carrying a huge backpack, accompanied by a fat and thin young swordsman, was spitting about his legendary experience.

He crazily poured chicken soup into the newly-joined white-robed pastor lady, and almost spit on the little pastor's face several times.

The young man's name is Zhou Tianyou. He is an intermediate swordsman and the current captain of the Maple Leaf Team.

Accompanying him is the intermediate archer Shouzi Liqiang.

Fatty Lizhuang, who also carries a huge backpack, is an intermediate shield warrior.

If they hadn't told them, no one would have known that the fat one and the thin one were actually twins.

As for the young priest, it was an unexpected gain when he returned to the guild to hand in the task...

Zhou Tianyou didn't notice that the pastor lady had quietly taken a few steps back. He was listening with little interest and even rolled his eyes cutely.

Who doesn’t know that there are no high-level monsters outside Hexi City? Since the space here is stable, it is impossible for high-level space cracks to appear. Is it possible to fight with the walking mushroom for [-] rounds?

The rich experiences described by the guy in front of me are enough for the goblin novelist of Kakarila to write a legendary novel about a brave man saving the dragon.

Zhou Tianyou's companions are used to it, after all, it's not just once or twice.

The priests and magicians who had finally been recruited before turned around and left after hearing the captain's legendary deeds.

The new little priest looked dumbfounded. It seemed that he had just graduated from the academy. He was well protected by the academy and his family and had no adventure experience.

It's easy to cheat, ah, no, it's easy to fool, bah, bah, forget it, just cheat, the two brothers have been cheating for a long time...

To be precise, Fatty has been deceiving him for a long time...

Priests have scarce resources these days, so returning to the guild is a big bargain.

"that..."

Xu Lulu was about to speak but stopped.

I dug my toes into the ground in embarrassment and looked at the new captain who was talking endlessly. I felt a trace of regret in my heart for no reason. Why did I agree so quickly?

"that..."

Xu Lulu interrupted again.

Fortunately, Zhou Tianyou noticed this time and stopped without saying anything:

"Are you impressed by my heroic deeds? Hahaha."

Zhou Tianyou laughed loudly, looking very heroic.

"Forehead..."

Xu Lulu was even more embarrassed by the sudden question:

"Well, I want to say that slimes don't seem to be here in the Yanling Empire..."

"Ah this..."

This time it was Zhou Tianyou's turn to be embarrassed, and he was somewhat smooth-talking...

Most of the slimes are distributed in the Kakalongqi Empire, and a small number are distributed in the Bauhinia Empire and the Free City. There are really no slimes in the Yanling Empire.

"And why does it always feel so familiar? Have I seen a similar plot somewhere?"

Xu Lulu asked again.

Zhou Tianyou was covered in cold sweat. Could it be that this stupid little pastor had also read Sheldon King's "My Perfect Encounter with the Slime Girl"?

It was obviously an adult book, but it was that damn profiteer who actually sold the book to such a cute and pure pastor lady.

"Cough cough!"

Zhou Tianyou made a fist with his right hand and put it against his nose, coughed twice, and forcefully explained:

"What I said is absolutely true! I promise, I will serve four!"

As he spoke, he stretched out two fingers of his left hand toward the sky, pretending to swear.

Li Qiang and Li Zhuang couldn't help but cover their foreheads. The captain was fine with everything, but it was a pity that he had a long mouth, which was broken and hard.

Without this mouth, the Maple Leaf Team might have been full.

"A new space rift appeared outside the World of Warcraft Forest, and it's nearby."

"That's where the slime came from."

"Yes, it is like that!"

Zhou Tianyou continued to quibble, and in order to increase his credibility, he even pretended to be confident.

"I just don't know whether the crack is permanent or temporary. If it is temporary, we may not be able to find it."

After that, I didn’t forget to block the back road...

"Is that right?"

Xu Lulu was a little doubtful...

The two brothers, Liqiang and Lizhuang, continued to cover their faces. This was too simple!

Fortunately, this little girl met their Maple Leaf team. If she met someone or a team with evil intentions, wouldn't she be sold and have to help others count their money?

"That's not right either..."

Xu Lulu put her right index finger on her chin with an I-am-very-smart-don’t-deceive-me attitude:

"Aren't slimes not aggressive? What happened to the [-]-round battle?"

Zhou Tianyou suddenly started sweating profusely.

If this simple little priest knew that the captain read that kind of book in private, wouldn't the glorious image she had just established in her heart be wiped out?

"Then...then what..."

Zhou Tianyou was about to explain, but he saw Xu Lulu covering her mouth with one hand, pointing to his side and exclaiming:

"Captain! Captain! Is this the space rift you are talking about?"

Zhou Tianyou looked confused, so I just casually said, is there really one? Several people turned their heads in the direction of Xu Lulu's finger:

"Fuck!" The three of them exclaimed at the same time.

In the woods about three to four hundred meters away, there was a space rift floating on the ground, with a height of about six or seven meters.

It may not be accurate to say that he is a space rift.

There are countless cracks on this continent, and most of them are temporary, lasting from a few hours to a few months.

This crack looks like a broken mirror...

A small number of them are permanent cracks.

As far as the Yanling Empire is concerned, there are only more than fifty permanent cracks in total.

The edges of the permanent rift will be much neater, but the more powerful the world in the rift is, the smaller the area of ​​the rift will be.

The strongest space rift known so far is located at the top of the tower in the center of Freedom City, and is only the size of a baby's fist.

Legend has it that the Free City was built to suppress this rift.

Permanent spatial rifts change color according to the environment inside.

The cracked walls are more like vague interior views of the space.

As for the dark purple crack in front of them with rounded edges and even changing its shape very slightly, the three of them had never heard of it, let alone seen it.

The three of them rubbed their eyes again.

"Skinny guy, slap me."

Zhou Tianyou said subconsciously.

Li Qiang didn't even turn his head, and gave Zhou Tianyou a huge backhand.

Xu Lulu looked puzzled:

"team leader?"

"Ahem!" Zhou Tianyou coughed twice again, pretending to be calm, and wiped the nosebleed that flowed to the corner of his mouth:

"Then...what, Lulu, let's go there first."

Zhou Tianyou definitely remembered it correctly.

This road was the one I took when I returned to Hexicheng five days ago. There was absolutely no such space rift at that time.

In other words, this is a brand new rift, and there is a high probability that it is a permanent rift with a low level!

Recently, most of the adventurers in Hexi City have gone to Ducheng next door to explore a new temporary space rift that is not very high-level but relatively stable.

There are almost no adventurers left around here.

The reason why they are still here is partly due to coincidence.

When passing through the depths of the Hexi jungle, I accidentally discovered a temporary space rift that was about to close.

At that time, most of the rift had been closed, but the three of them saw a particularly tall giant tree man squeeze out of it despite being seriously injured.

Creatures like giant tree men look very large, but their actual strength is not very strong.

The life log produced by the body is the most favorite staff material for almost all junior and intermediate magicians.

The last time I passed by, I was carrying a lot of mission items, and the place was very hidden, so the giant tree man escaped.

This time I wanted to kill the giant tree man and make a fortune, but I didn't expect that something good would happen again this time.

As a rift discoverer and team, you will be rewarded with a lot of spiritual coins by the empire.

The empire will also forge six team badges with rift patterns for the adventurer team.

That's a symbol of honor!

Zhou Tianyou felt that his legs were not working properly, so he led the three of them to the crack.

He tremblingly took out the crystal card and pointed it at the crack. A string of small words appeared on the crystal card.

"I discovered an unknown rift that has not yet been named. Should I submit it to the Yanling City Adventurer Guild now?"

This week Tianyou's hands were shaking even more.

But he didn't let the honor go to his head.

"Lulu... Lulu, what's that? I forgot to submit it last time I came out. This... is actually a new permanent space rift. Please help me submit it to the headquarters..."

Zhou Tianyou felt guilty and still stuttered when he spoke. He then turned to look at the two brothers Li Qiang and Li Zhuang. They nodded, indicating that they had no objection.

Xu Lulu's eyes were shining, she had no doubt that he was there, she had believed most of the lies the captain had made up before, and the excitement on her face almost overflowed.

Although the captain doesn't look down on this achievement, she does!

Graduating from Hexi Qiling Academy ahead of schedule and submitting the Empire's fifty-seventh permanent space rift to the Empire just after turning 16 years old, what an honor it is!

Please call me Xu·[-]th Rift Provider·Lulu from now on! Hum hum...

As he thought about it, his flat chest also puffed up with his little head.
