adventurers in the sewers

This was Louis's first time leaving Blackrock City.

Led by Dana, he met Nora at the city gate.

The necromancer was still wearing her black cloak as always.

She looked at her two teammates, who had changed into new equipment and had swords at their waists, and looked like seasoned adventurers, and nodded slightly.

Dina looked exactly like Dina, but after Louis put on the leather armor and new clothes, he was like a completely different person, losing all the air of a poor boy from the slums.

Moreover, she only noticed now that in the twenty days since she last saw him, Louis seemed to have become much stronger, his features more defined, and he seemed to have gained a softer, more gentle look, like someone from an Eastern country. He had even grown taller.

If you said that the current Louis was the son of a merchant guild, many people would probably believe it.

"let's go."

Nora spoke calmly, then turned and walked towards the city gate.

Walking through the nearly twenty-meter-thick city wall, Louis curiously observed the bustling crowd around him.

He saw villagers carrying loads of vegetables and wild game from outside the city, and he also saw long lines of merchants with the jingling of mule bells.

However, the group that enters and exits the city gates the most is still the adventurers.

They were either dressed in rags, carrying only a sharpened, broken wooden stick, looking like poor people who were just one step away from becoming beggars.

Or perhaps they are energetic, well-equipped young men and women, forming small teams of three or five, heading towards their dreams.

Or perhaps they are powerful individuals with a stern and imposing aura, exuding an unapproachable and aloof presence.

All three types of people are adventurers, but they differ in strength and social status.

Seeing these people filled Louis with emotion.

A little over a month ago, when he first became an adventurer, he definitely belonged to the first type of adventurer, walking on the path of negative numbers.

After struggling through the sewers, he finally went from negative to zero, becoming the true adventurer people imagined.

Perhaps with a little more effort, he could successfully change careers and become an extraordinary professional whose social status surpasses that of all ordinary people.

From this perspective, the prospects for adventurers are quite good... provided that they either have top-notch aptitude or have some kind of cheat code.

Ordinary people should never get involved; it's a complete trap.

As Louis strolled around, observing the everyday life of the city, several familiar figures suddenly came into view.

His gaze sharpened, lingering on the profiles of those people for a second before quickly averting his eyes, without alerting them in the slightest.

"Dina, look over there."

Louis moved closer to the blue-haired girl, nudged her lightly with his elbow, and pointed to the people he had just seen.

Dai Na looked in the direction the finger was pointing, and her gaze immediately darkened.

"It's them..."

Indeed, that team that Louis recognized was Daina's former teammate.

Of course, they are now enemies with a life-or-death feud.

At this moment, in addition to the four people Louis had seen before, there was also a very innocent-looking boy in the group, who was walking and chatting with the four seniors.

The boy was well-equipped, wearing sturdy leather armor made from the hide of some kind of magical beast, with metal plates protecting his shoulders, elbows, and wrists.

He not only had a sword hanging at his waist, but also a staff inlaid with a purple gem at the other end.

Among the group of adventurers with plain appearances, the boy's equipment was like that of a pay-to-win player, with all the special effects maxed out.

Without a doubt, this boy must be Daina 2.0, a fat sheep lured out by this team to be slaughtered.

Not to mention this four-person team, even Louis felt an urge to go up and get closer to this eligible bachelor.

"I didn't expect the Red Fox Squad to still be active in Blackrock City. I thought they had already run off to another city."

Daina murmured softly, her tone filled with deep resentment, but also revealing a hint of excitement that she herself might not have realized!

The excitement of having the chance to get revenge!

"It seems your former teammates all thought you were dead, so they weren't too wary. After all, there are so many branches of the Adventurers' Guild in Blackrock City, they can just switch to another one and nobody will recognize them, so they can continue to lie."

Louis guessed.

It's quite a coincidence that on my first city commission, I ran into these four scumbags in the vast sea of ​​people.

Perhaps this is fate.

"Do you want revenge?"

Louis inquired.

"want!"

Dai Na nodded without hesitation.

The idea of ​​endless revenge doesn't work on her; she only feels satisfied when she gets revenge in kind.

Nora: "What are you talking about?"

Louis briefly recounted Dina's previous experiences.

After listening, Nora slowly said:

"For me, there's never enough necromancy materials, so this is a good opportunity to replenish them."

Upon hearing this, Dina glanced at the hooded girl with some surprise, but said nothing, only nodding slightly at her.

The atmosphere within the team immediately became less tense.

Louis was naturally pleased with this unexpected turn of events.

Looting corpses was his specialty.

Since it's difficult to find corpses in the wild, why not just create them?

As for the risks?

An average adventurer's combat strength is only slightly stronger than a chicken in front of him, not to mention that he has three experts on his side, so the risk is practically zero.

The proposal to change the itinerary was unanimously approved, and Louis and the others secretly followed the Red Fox Squad.

All three were quite skilled at stealth, and with their combined intent and cunning, the entire Red Fox Squad, including the boy, remained completely unaware.

This journey took more than an hour.

It was late summer, the rainy season was over, and the weather had become extremely scorching; even in the morning, the sun was unbearable.

The boy had clearly never experienced hardship; he was so hot that he kept his pack on his head.

However, his spirits remained high, and he excitedly addressed the team's captain, who appeared the most mature-looking and extremely honest-looking member:

"Boss Red Fox, how much longer until we arrive? Do you think we'll encounter the demons this time?"

The man known as the Red Fox chuckled honestly and said:

"Silly child, demons live in the demon realm. It's not that easy to encounter them. You'd be more likely to run into a goblin."

"You'll understand once you complete a few more outings; goblins in the wild are as numerous as stray dogs on the roadside."

Hearing this answer, the boy was disappointed, but he quickly composed himself and said happily:

"Boss, and everyone else is such a good person. Thank you for taking such good care of me."

"When we get back, I'm going to use my first reward to treat you all to a nice meal at a restaurant."

The red fox chuckled:

"Well, we won't treat you like a guest when we get back..."

However, before he could finish speaking, a sharp whistling sound suddenly rang out, and then the red fox's head shook slightly, and its skull, like that of a great commander with a wild imagination, detached from its head and flew into the sky.

Crimson blood, white brain matter, and viscous tissue fluid splattered all over the face of the boy who was laughing and talking to the red fox.

The boy's expression froze.
