The Age of Heroic Spirits in the Eyes of the Reincarnated

Chapter 29 Exploring the Crypt, Treasure Chest Trap!

Not to mention the cloaked man.

Even many elite members of the guild were puzzled.

"Because in my eyes, everyone has his value. I am a greedy person, so I can't give up any one."

Li Xia didn't lie.

At the time of the clearance settlement, everyone who survived can bring him a free point reward.

Not to mention anything else, just say this, he can't force those ordinary players into the abyss of despair.

If he is an old farmer.

Then all the players are the leeks in his vegetable garden that need to be protected as much as possible.

"Captain Li, we are all elites among the closed beta testers; it is not a wise choice for you to give up us for those ordinary players with no potential."

"I know.

You are indeed very good. You can find me decisively at this time, which shows your vision.

However, some things are two-sided.

You can easily survive by killing monsters and leveling up in the wild, but some members of my guild who are not good at fighting, if they are thrown into the same situation, they may even lose the courage to live. Do you understand what I mean?

Of course, you can rest assured that I understand your feelings of wanting to join the Liberator. After the guild is upgraded, I will reserve a place for you and notify you as soon as possible."

"Hmph, you are a soft-hearted guy, let's go."

The cloaked man left first.

The others followed him without hesitation.

It is obvious that the cloaked man is the real leader of the other team.

The man left.

The tavern was quiet for a while.

Andrew was the first to break the strange silence:

"Captain, is it really okay to reject them?"

Li Xia heard this and glanced at the captains of the teams that arrived at Horenka Village in the next few waves. These captains all had complicated expressions at the moment.

Seeing this, he nodded secretly with satisfaction.

As he just said:

Looking at things from two sides.

It is easy for him to kick people out, and replacing those people can indeed increase the team's combat effectiveness, but the reputation he had worked hard to gain in the past two days will most likely fall to the bottom in an instant, and the cohesion of the guild will plummet.

He destroyed his basic base for a few closed beta testers who could kill people with a wave of their hands.

He must have been kicked in the head by a donkey to do such a stupid thing.

"Have a good sleep tonight, and go to the east of the village to level up as planned tomorrow, and try to get everyone to level 6.

The day after tomorrow, I have a big move.

Those who are not level 6 can stay around the village and fight around."

"Understood."

Everyone said in unison.

The morale was high.

…

The fifth day after entering the SAO game world.

Wang Teng: Level 7.

Li Xia, Xia Zhijin: Level 7.

More than 60 elites in the first sequence of the guild: Level 6.

Hundreds of closed beta testers: between Level 5 and Level 7.

(Kirito, Level 7.

Usagi, Level 6.

Asuna, barely Level 5.)

Although the level of the game character does not determine a person's true strength, it determines the length of a person's health bar, that is, the ability to survive.

A difference of one level often means that a wild monster of the same level can attack one or two more times.

I won't say how precious these one or two attacks are.

"Have you repaired all the worn equipment? It won't work if the durability is too low."

"All repaired."

"Where are the relevant potions? Have you brought enough of the most important stamina potions?"

Li Xia continued to ask.

"Captain, we have at least 15 bottles, no more, no less."

"Captain, we have at least 18 bottles each, our wallets are almost empty."

"..."

The captains of the elite teams responded with a smile.

"Well, how are the full-time staff's lockpicking skills?"

Li Xia asked again.

"Captain, we have learned the upper limit of the current level."

Three guild testers who chose locksmith as an important deputy job grinned.

"Okay, let's go."

At the command, a team of more than 60 people above level 6 set off from the northern exit of Horenka Village and headed straight for the underground area where goblins and rock monsters are active.

At this point in time, any scattered tester team would have to retreat in the face of such an elite team.

And Li Xia's straightforward muscle-flexing action did have a considerable deterrent effect on some testers who originally complained about the Liberator Guild's behavior of snatching wild monsters and NPC tasks...

Keep your complaints to yourself.

…

Underground area.

No one would come here to explore alone before level 7.

Although this is the place with the most treasure chests in the first layer of the SAO game world.

It is also the place with the most traps.

“Captain, we found a treasure chest by the bushes ahead of the road. What should we do?”

There was news from the vanguard team.

Li Xia raised his eyelids after hearing this:

“Pull the team apart, and let those who can open locks be careful.

Treasure chests in the wild are usually set with traps by the game system, so let him be careful not to get caught. Especially watch out for his feet.

By the way, let him leave the team first. Some traps are set according to the number of people in the team. A trap triggered by him alone may not be very dangerous; but if a trap is triggered by the whole team, it will definitely not be simple.”

“Okay, captain.”

After the team started, one of the three people who knew how to unlock the door volunteered.

The moment the treasure chest was opened, a red system warning immediately spread to the surrounding ten-meter area.

Immediately afterwards, something quickly broke out of the ground around the treasure chest. Everyone thirty meters away looked intently, and what caught their eyes were ten wild monsters called "small man-eating plants".

"This quantity is a bit small."

“It feels like there’s not enough for everyone to share.”

"Okay, safety first, why wouldn't you be satisfied with picking up a treasure chest for nothing?"

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up to support Xiao Sao. He has to face ten level 4 man-eating plants at the same time! It's very dangerous!"

Ten seconds later.

All ten small man-eating plants were killed and turned into broken radiant lenses and dissipated.

At this time, the young man who was a deputy locksmith and successfully opened the trap box ran quickly to Li Xia with a scroll:

"Captain, it's a treasure map about the crypt."

"Not bad, I didn't expect there would be an unexpected harvest."

After this small episode, everyone continued to clean up the wild monsters.

After about half an hour, we finally arrived at our destination.

The entrance to the crypt is a very ordinary stone door, built under a cliff.

If you explore a little deeper, you will find that it is connected in all directions. Cave spaces of ten or ten meters are connected one after another.

"According to the prior plan, the troops will be divided into three groups to explore more deeply... Is everyone okay?"

"no problem."

The team of more than 60 people quickly divided into three major groups.

At least 20 people per group.

In addition, each group will be subdivided into 4 teams.

Among them, there is a team with specially enhanced reconnaissance capabilities that is responsible for exploring the road ahead.

In the center are two combat teams.

There is also a team of five people responsible for making route markers and drawing maps of this crypt, which is also the team of the team's locksmith. If a high-intensity battle breaks out ahead or an accident occurs, they will serve as foreign aid.

If a treasure chest is found, the order of the teams is reversed.

The last team is responsible for opening the treasure chest, and the other three teams are responsible for taking care not to trigger the trap.

And it is worth mentioning that for the team that opens the treasure chest, the equipment configuration of the team members is to hold a sword in one hand and a shield in the other.

Having a shield in hand can greatly improve the survival rate after falling into a wild monster trap.

The three teams soon separated.

Li Xia's team encountered a rock monster not long after.

After dealing with the rock monster, the team continued to explore.

Along the way, they discovered something, such as two treasure chests.

But one of them was empty and had been opened.

The other one was transformed from a wild monster and was easily killed by everyone working together.

But just when the seventh rock monster was killed, vague human voices reached the ears of the people in front of the cave, deeper in the passage on the left.

"Did you hear that?"

"There seems to be someone."

"Then shall we go left or right?"

"Go and have a look."

Li Xia frowned slightly.

After getting a few dozen meters closer to that side, everyone could clearly hear the shrill and frightening screams and the uninterrupted sound of gold and iron.

And those screams were definitely made by humans.

"quick."

The pace of the group was much faster.

I'm worried that something happened to someone in my other team.

The main reason for this worry is that this ghost place extends in all directions. If it is not marked, it is easy to get lost.

Even if marked, it is very likely that the two exploration teams that separated near the entrance will collide at some point.

Li Xia and Wang Teng arrived first, but they did not rush out of the corner. Instead, they huddled in the corner and only poked half of their heads out to check what was happening on the other side of the corner.

This look was both surprising and somewhat natural.

The situation over there is:

An exploration team composed of four beta testers triggered a trap when opening the treasure chest. At this moment, they were besieged by at least thirty goblin monsters of high level.

The situation is extremely serious!

What's even more interesting is that in another passage not far away, two girls stuck out their little heads and took a look at the treasure chest, and then they were ready to run away!

"Tuzawa, do we want to help them?"

Asuna felt compassion and wanted to save people.

But he was grabbed by his best friend:

"No, there are too many wild monsters. Just the two of us can't help."

That was a high-level goblin whose level was no lower than the two of them.
