Infinite crossing from violet

Chapter 418 monster gift

"Someone is being chased by a monster." Some adventurers immediately recognized the situation.

"This momentum... seems to be a group of monsters."

"Don't go in yet! If they can escape, then decide whether to help or not depending on the situation."

The LV.3 adventurer in the team spoke.

The adventurers invariably stayed away from the passage and hid in a dead wood forest about 100 meters away.

This made sense, after all, no one knew what the situation was going to be like, but just by hearing the sound, one could tell that the situation would never be too good.

If those unlucky ghosts who were hunted down by monsters can escape by chance, they can help them depending on the situation.

But they will never go down until the movement subsides.

Even though the entire team has more than 20 people, most of the adventurers are LV.1.You must know that this place is about to approach the middle layer, the terrain is more complicated, like an ant nest, and the monsters in it are more ferocious and dangerous.

If there weren't so many people forming a team, plus Lu Ye, the "Oulali's strongest supporter", then most of the adventurers in the team would not choose to step into this floor.

Everyone just waited.

Until a little flame appeared somewhere in the passage, swaying towards this side.

It seems that those unlucky ghosts who were hunted down found the correct escape route on the way.

But the expressions of the adventurers did not relax.

Because the monsters roared louder and louder, and there were quite a few of them.

"Hey, what should we do..." Someone said worriedly, "Let's put out the torch first, and find a place to hide!"

"No, there is already fog here. If the torch goes out, we will be completely lost when the fog gathers." The LV.3 adventurer retorted cautiously.

Lu Ye, who kept his head down all the time, raised his eyes and glanced at the LV.3 adventurer, thinking that a guy with a high level has rich experience.

The 12th floor of the dungeon is the dividing line between the areas that novice adventurers and intermediate adventurers can enter.

There are not many monsters on the 12th floor, and they are not too difficult to deal with.

But the reason why it is called the first watershed of the underground city is because its environmental factors are too dangerous.

Above the wilderness, there is a lot of fog.

If there is no torch to disperse the fog and illuminate the surrounding environment, it only takes a few steps, and the people in it will be shrouded in the gathered fog and then lost their way.There are many people who got lost on the 12th floor and died because they didn't light the torches because they were afraid of the siege of monsters.But if the torch is lit, the position of the adventurer will undoubtedly be exposed to the monsters hidden in the wilderness, and this is where the difficulty of conquering this layer lies.

"Stupid!" someone said, "Staying where we are is not afraid of losing our way? Lighting a torch is purely revealing our position!"

"How can you say such a thing, are you an idiot? Sure enough, a rookie is a rookie!"

"It's ridiculous, you LV.3 is amazing, why don't you take your team down alone, because besides you, everyone else in your team is also a rookie like us, you idiot!"

Members of different families had a dispute. Seeing that the two sides were at war, someone hurried to smooth things over, and incidentally turned the blame on Lu Ye.

"Hey, stop arguing, why don't you let 'Ola Lili's strongest supporter' decide?"

Those who were arguing suddenly fell silent.

If the rumors about defeating two LV.5 adventurers are true, then Lu Ye is indeed qualified to speak.

Moreover, this guy wants to protect the safety of himself and others!
"If you don't turn off the torch, we will observe the situation here." After speaking, he lowered his head again.

"Hey, you guy..."

"If you are afraid, you can go back now," Lu Ye said without raising his head, "I will refund you the money."

"Who, who is scared, damn it!"

Although it is completely possible to extinguish the torch and stay in place, wait for the limelight to pass before lighting it.

But it would be too late to save the adventurers who escaped from the lower floors, and it would bring danger to everyone.

These days, Lu Ye summed up a lot of information about monsters through the adventurer's manual and his own experience in conquering dungeons.

There are many monsters with a keen sense of smell in the dungeon. It’s okay if there are only one or two people, but if more than 20 people gather together and don’t move, the smell will be transmitted far away when there is no wind flow, and because the torches are extinguished , The monster doesn't know that there are a lot of people here, so it will choose to launch a surprise attack, which may cause personal injury at that time.

Although the trio of Lu Ye, Estes, and Violet didn't have to worry about the monster's attack, they made a promise to pay the injured adventurer medical expenses.

Doing charity does not mean losing money!

Lu Ye stared at the "heartbeat detector" in his hand.

Apart from where he was, there were scattered heartbeats around him.

Don't worry about these monsters, what Lu Ye wants to confirm is the number of monsters that are about to chase.

After about a minute and a half, in the direction of the passage, the heartbeat detector finally detected the movement.

It was a dense dot of light.

"Hey, look, it's fire, those guys are coming out." Someone whispered.

Everyone looked forward, and sure enough, a team of about five people escaped from the passage.

They fled desperately with torches in their hands, and the flames reflected the numerous monsters chasing after them.

It was so densely packed that no one in the team even wanted to count them.

But Lu Ye estimated it through the heartbeat detector, and it was about sixty.

Thanks to the previous experience of going to the dungeon with Freya's family, Lu Ye knew almost all of these monster types.

Killer ants, unicorn rabbits, stinging bees...

Except for a few Minotaurs and half-orcs, the rest of the monsters are all at LV.2 or below.

With Esdeath's strength, it can be dealt with completely.

"How come there are so many monsters... and Minotaurs?!"

"Fuck, there are also monsters that appeared on the sixteenth floor, I am really convinced!!"

In the team, the adventurers' scalps were numb.

Most of them are LV.1 adventurers, and there is nothing wrong with encountering these monsters.

Just a Minotaur coming over can kill these people instantly.

"It's a fart, hurry up and put out the torch!!" Someone quickly reacted, "If they run towards us, they will be finished!"

But it was already too late, the hunted team had turned around at some point and was rushing towards this side.

Human desire to survive is very strong.

A few seconds after escaping from the cave and coming to the field full of mist, just as the adventurers in Lu Ye's team were still panicking because of the large number of monsters, the team leader who was hunted down discovered all the monsters in the team. It emitted a light like a lighthouse, and rushed towards this side immediately.

At this moment, the adventurers on Lu Ye's side also sensed the opponent's intentions.

"Monster gift!!"

The monster presents - (pass · parade).

This is a combat tactic in the dungeon.

As the name suggests, in simple terms, it is a tough emergency evasion method to force the monsters encountered by one's team that cannot be dealt with in any way to other teams in situations such as retreat.

Among the unwritten rules in the maze, one of them is basically not to interfere with other people's actions, but adventurers often encounter some urgent needs and can't take care of others.In dungeons where accidents often occur, this is also a common method for frequent exchanges between teams.

And making a monster gift is tantamount to making the team in front of the line of sight a "sacrifice."

The other party is very smart.

Compared with a small team with only a few people, it is obvious that there are more people on Lu Ye's side, and they are more likely to be the target of monsters' attacks.

In fact, it was the same, the group of monsters behind them had already noticed Lu Ye and the others.

In Lu Ye's team, the adventurers were about to run away while yelling curses.

More than 100 meters is not a long distance.

If you are a person with strong steps, this distance can be reached in only a dozen seconds.

In other words, the golden time for them to escape is only a dozen seconds.

If you stay any longer, you will be waiting to die!
But Lu Ye grabbed the people around him.

"Let go, let me go, what are you doing?!"

"Hey, aren't you going to the No.18 floor?"

"Crazy, there are so many monsters, of course life is more important, let me go!!"

"Everyone, don't be impatient, we have collected the money... We naturally have to do things."

Lu Ye snapped his fingers.

Estes, who had been by his side all the time, stretched out his arms, pointing his white fingers at the crazy monster in front of him.

The next moment, the ice suddenly rose!Like a rapidly growing plant, huge ice cubes grew out of the ground, forming a tall and solid ice wall to block the monsters.

No, to be precise, it is to surround the monsters and imprison them like a cage.

The monsters were blocked by the ice, roaring angrily and hitting the wall.

But it was useless, and soon the surface of the ice wall was covered with blood.

With the previous experience, the surface of the ice wall made by Esdeth this time has dense icicles, just like anti-armor.

Even the power of the Minotaur can hardly break through its defenses. ,

"This is... magic!?"

Looking at the solid and blue ice wall in front of them, the adventurers were dumbfounded.

Even the guy who had already run more than ten meters couldn't help turning back.

They didn't expect that the ice-blue long-haired beauty who had been staying by Lu Ye's side was actually a magician!
They are not stupid, this kind of powerful ice magic is quite rare in Orario.

Most importantly, this woman with ice blue hair did not chant! !
For a woman who can use such powerful magic without chanting, she must be at least LV.4, right?

This is a fart, just hug your thigh and it's over.

The monsters are imprisoned in an ice cage.

Then, Estes snapped his fingers.

Hundreds of ice thorns emerged from the sky above the monsters and fell like raindrops.

Soon, the ear-piercing wailing sound disappeared, leaving only the corpses of the monsters in the ice wall.

"It's amazing~"

Bell gave a heartfelt admiration.

No matter how many times you look at Esdeth's Ice Teigu, you will feel amazing.

There is no need to chant, sometimes it is just a tidying up, and the ice cubes will appear in various postures according to her mind.

And the adventurers were also dumbfounded.

Solving so many monsters by one person...?
Too, too strong.

The way everyone looked at Estes changed.

If it was said that their previous gazes were filled with admiration for beauty, then this admiration has completely transformed into awe at this moment.

Such a powerful woman is willing to follow Lu Ye's side.

How strong should Lu Ye be? !

No wonder this guy hadn't panicked at all before!
At this moment, the adventurers had completely believed in Lu Ye's deed of defeating the LV.5 adventurer.

"Lu Ye, we are lucky, the one with red eyes." Estes said after checking the corpses of the monsters.

"indeed……"

Lu Ye cast his eyes on the group of blood-covered guys. When Esdeth trapped the monsters with ice prisons, he isolated them by the way, so the lives of these people were preserved.

Under Lu Ye's questioning, several people revealed the whole story.

They are these monsters encountered from around the fifteenth floor.Originally, they just followed the rules to attack the dungeon, collecting magic stones and monster loot, but these monsters rushed out of the city without any warning, and there was no special purpose, just like locusts crossing the border, and then they started to be poor after discovering their team. Can't give up.

As for the origin of these monsters, these people don't know, they only know that they are guys from the lower levels.

"The lower floor...could it be the monsters you encountered at the entrance of the 19th floor that you said earlier?" Estes asked.

"It's unlikely." Lu Ye said, "With the strength of Freya's family, it's no problem to deal with those monsters...probably."

After Lu Ye finished asking the question, it was the turn of the aggressive adventurers.

In front of them, this squad could not hold its head up.

The so-called "monster gift" is actually exchanging the lives of others for one's own way of life.

And those who are "given away" are the ones whose lives have been exchanged.

Originally, they were attacking the dungeon well, but suddenly a bunch of life-threatening monsters came over them. Anyone would feel full of anger, wishing to blow their heads off.

You must know that even if the Minotaur is removed, there are about sixty monsters, which means that one person in the team has to deal with three monsters on average.If it weren't for the presence of Estes and the others this time, how many people in the team might have suffered.

After the last team knelt down and apologized seriously, they used all their money, magic stones and some extra props as an apology before they were able to leave.

Although this is not enough to completely offset the resentment in the hearts of the adventurers, it is also helpless.

In the end, the gift from the monster can only be regarded as a moral issue. You can't kill these people because of this. This is a crime.
After that, the journey was relatively smooth.

The owner of the 17th floor, Goliath, was killed by Lu Ye not long ago and has not yet been resurrected, so everyone arrived at the 18th floor smoothly.

The brilliance created by the sky covered in crystals is no different from sunlight.

The gorgeous and beautiful scenery shocked everyone, and I thought that this trip was really worth it, not only got several times more magic stones than before, but also enjoyed such a unique scenery.
