Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 6:

It's the safety line. Take a look?" The team's scout, Reid, used a spear to poke away some of the rocks on the side of the road, looked at some inconspicuous signs on the corner, and said in a deep voice, "If you go further, no one is sure what you will encounter. "

The so-called safety line refers to the boundary line explored and cleared by soldiers. For this cave, it is the boundary line between "safety" and "dangerous".

The cave they explored is located on the west side of the Barren Mountains, adjacent to the town of Rye. In order to prevent some dangerous things from multiplying in the cave, the soldiers of Rye Town will come here to explore and clean up once every three months, to avoid the proliferation of monsters such as goblins, and to avoid some dangerous creatures from entering.

The safety line is the sign they leave after each exploration and cleanup before leaving.

Adventurers with cave exploration experience know that the main enemy before reaching the safety line is getting lost. And after crossing the safety line, the main enemy becomes all kinds of monsters that may appear underground at any time.

After all, adventurers all act in small groups, with a team ranging from three to five people to more than ten people. Compared with an army of fifty people acting collectively, the combat effectiveness is much inferior. When encountering monsters that only the army can deal with, they often have no choice but to flee, even unable to escape.

Among the four northwestern towns, Rye Town is the only town that has "elegant troops". Because it is rich in food and is the most important port of trade between the four northwestern towns and the Gold Coin Federation, the commerce is also very high. Therefore, the organizations that jointly rule this town can have enough income to support the elite army of fifty people.

Every soldier in this army has the power comparable to regular adventurers, and can skillfully use at least two of the commonly used weapons such as spears, swords, shields, crossbows, and axes, and can when necessary. Galloping on horseback. They usually train intensively, or patrol the town. Whenever dangerous monsters appear near the town, or need to expedition to clean the surroundings, they will be fully armed, put on solid armors, and be accompanied by priests and wizards. With the assistance of, all surrounding things that threatened Rye Town were wiped out.

They often come to this cave called "Big Black Hole" to explore and clean up, and destroy the monsters living here more than once. The fiercest one brought the left ears of nearly three hundred goblins, and twenty Parts of multiple other monsters, as well as the bodies of two companions. Want to see?

It was caused by a terrifying monster. It has the head of a cow and a human body. It sits taller than a normal person standing. Its hard body is like dried ancient wood. Arrows can only be shot on it. Dive in a little bit shallowly. It has four arms, each of which is thicker than an ordinary human's thigh. It wields four tomahawks when fighting, which is a terrifying storm!

If the casters didn't deal with it properly, the battle would have suffered heavy casualties. But even with the cooperation of the casters, the soldiers lost a scout and a warrior.

Not only that, after that battle, at least ten soldiers chose to retire. Some of them used the money they saved during the years of service to make a small business, and some bought land as self-employed farmers in the safer places in the central and southern regions of the Gold Coin Federation. The shadow left by that horror monster caused most of them to lay down their weapons forever and never dare to step into the battlefield again.

Some of them later broke through the shadows in their hearts, such as the leader of Palin and their expedition, the "earth bear" Divor.

Divor is a very strong warrior, at least 1.9 meters in size, with a sturdy back and a big waist. He made great achievements in the original battle, and cut off the left ankle of the terrifying monster with an axe, causing it to fall to the ground, which is the key to the victory or defeat. But he himself was seriously injured in the monster's counterattack, broke four ribs, and almost died.

After retiring, he was depressed for a while, but in the end he stood up again, took one of the four tomahawks of the monster that he was assigned to the trophy, and stepped back into the battlefield. It's just that he didn't serve as a soldier anymore, instead he became an adventurer.

At the time, his nickname was "Bull Head Battle Axe", and later as his adventures accumulated, he changed to "Ground Bear".

This nickname is a proof of his qualifications, because he particularly likes to venture into underground caves. Among the adventurers in Rye Town, he is also a banner character. So when Palin recruited staff, the attendant of the Adventure Guild recommended him.

Among the other companions, the ranger and priest are all recommended by him, and they are also familiar with cave exploration.

Rhett, a seasoned ranger, nicknamed "Three Arrows", because the average ranger can only shoot two arrows in a row when he shoots, and he can shoot one more arrow.

"Fire Hammer" Morton is a believer in the Lord of Glory, the main **** of the human race, a priest with high martial arts and good spells. He is the master of this team second only to Divor.

The thief in this team is called Raffel, who is recommended by Rhode. He is a very powerful thief, especially good at fighting. Compared with those who like to get something out of other people's pockets, or sneak into other people's homes, he is good at sneaking behind the monsters and stabs them with his beloved long dagger. This gave him the title of "backstab". For combat thieves, he can turn his housekeeping skills into his own nickname, which shows that he is powerful.

Relatively speaking, Lafore is not so proficient in pickpocketing, reconnaissance, and trap dismantling that ordinary thieves are good at. Therefore, he was unhappy. Most of the time he worked part-time as a fighter and believed in the **** of thieves. He insisted that thieves were not killers, and he was unwilling to sell his hard-worked craftsmanship for money. However, a backstab expert who refused to be a killer was obviously "money." "The way" will not be too bright.

Rod recommended him to Palin. On the one hand, he felt that this acquaintance was very reliable, and on the other hand, he hoped that he could be touched a little. If he can use this matter to make a good relationship with the Masked Void Church, no matter how frustrated he is in the future, he will at least have a place to settle down.

Of course Lafore is not a person who doesn't know what is good or what is wrong. Needless to say, Rhode's care is obvious to him. So he has been very active these past two days, and there is something that stands firmly on Palin's side, as if he is loyal.

So at this moment, he hurriedly stated his position without waiting for Palin to speak: "I received a deposit. If you want to move on, boss, I will definitely stay with you to the end!"

Rhett rolled his eyes helplessly, with some resentment in his heart.

To be honest, although the mage named Palin paid very well, if he had a choice, he really didn't want to go deep into the cave.

The cave is not bottomed, and no one has fully ascertained its condition until now. It’s better here, if you go deeper, God knows what you will encounter!

He remembered that there were adventurers who had escaped from the cave in embarrassment and claimed to have seen a dragon in the depths of the cave!

Of course, he absolutely doesn't believe that there will be a dragon rye town in this cave. It has been hundreds of years, but no one has seen the trace of a dragon. Couldn't that dragon slept in the depths of this cave hundreds of years ago, and hasn't woken up yet, right?

However, the scary four-armed tauren corpse was seen by many people in the town. He asked himself if he encountered a monster like that, their team would definitely not be able to beat it. In a panic, no one could guarantee that he would encounter an accident and lose his life.

Divor is much more responsive than him. The senior adventurer did not go deep underground at all. He turned his head to Palin and said his own suggestion: “It’s okay to go forward. Danger, according to our travel schedule, it will take at least two more days before I can cross the farthest distance I have ever explored."

Palin turned his head to look at Morton again, asking for the pastor's opinion. The taciturn Morton didn't speak, but looked at Divor and smiled.

Obviously, he chose to believe in the eyes of the captain.

"If this is the case, then go ahead." So Palin also made up his mind.

Although your majesty has also said, this trip mainly depends on the situation on the side of Shuang and Hao, and I am just an assistant here. But even if it is a support, if you don't do your best, how can you be worthy of your majesty's care!

He took out a lollipop and stuffed it into his mouth, and gave Rhide, who was scouting in the front, a spell that could protect against long-range attacks, and then the team moved on again.

"Why do you always like to eat candies?" Divor asked curiously, "For these two days, I saw that you have to eat two or three sticks of this candy almost every day, is it delicious?"

Palin smiled, took out another one and handed it to him, after thinking about it, gave another one to the others.

Few people hate sweets. Although the dignified adventurer has a weird candy in his mouth, which is a little impaired, there are no outsiders here, and Palin takes the lead, so everyone did not refuse. A round candy with a thin wooden pole was brought into the mouth.

"Hmm!" Morton was the first to realize the mystery hidden in this candy, and couldn't help exclaiming, took out the candy in his mouth, and examined it carefully.

"Is there any problem with this candy?" Divor was a little puzzled, "It tastes very good, it's sweet, and I feel the body warms up all at once."

"Vitality!" Morton said in a deep voice, "It can replenish vitality."

Rhett, who was still tasting, quickly took out the candy from his mouth, wrapped it in greased paper, and put it in the package.

What is the concept of "replenishing vitality"? This means that it can treat injuries, weakness and fatigue, but it can save lives at critical moments!

He even couldn't help but regret it~IndoMTL.com~ felt sorry for the part of the candy he just ate.

Raffer turned his head to look at Palin: "Boss, isn't this a waste?"

Palin smiled: "I am not in good health. I have to eat this frequently, otherwise I will get tired and dizzy easily."

"This is not as simple as'bad health' anymore!" Divor looked at him worriedly, "You need to eat this frequently to replenish vitality. Do you really need to cultivate for a while?"

"No need, no need." Palin laughed a few times, then stepped forward.

He has no soul. Sui Xiong didn't hide this matter from him, but he would never tell anyone again.

The teammates are all veterans. Seeing that he didn't want to say more, they stopped asking, just quietly collected their respective candies and protected him in the middle.

This poor young man is so weak that he needs this medicine to maintain his strength, but he is still working hard
