Wrong, my skills refresh every week

Fels shook his head.

Raul breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not taken away silently by the monster, which would have been the worst case scenario.

"Then why did you suddenly leave the team?"

Fels pointed at the giant tree and said, "There is an abnormal monster nest on this tree. If left unchecked, it may turn into a "mutation". No, it may have already become a mutation."

It was a structure made of branches, similar to a bird's nest, with a range of nearly ten meters.

"This is not the behavior of a young dragon. It should be another monster that does not belong to the 12th floor."

The sage has not yet switched back from her role. When she sees the different scenery of the dungeon, she can't help but stop to study it.

"This is the tree in the Arsenal, isn't it normal for it to be a little strange?" Raul explained:

"This living dungeon will provide the most natural weapons to the monsters wandering in the maze."

"The armory is part of the dungeon, so even if it is destroyed, it will regenerate quickly."

"In this kind of terrain, even monsters that can be defeated with bare hands will become difficult to defeat after receiving support from the dungeon. Therefore, it is better not to stay here. Especially for a novice like Miss Fels."

Raul recalled the "Flöm" he encountered during the expedition with the captain. They held huge clubs that resembled monster bones, and with a casual blow, they could make a dent in the vanguard's large shield.

only……

Charles covered his mouth and turned his head to suppress his laughter: No, young man, what common sense are you talking about with a guy who has been patrolling in the dungeon for eight hundred years!

She probably knows exactly where and how many flowers there are in the dungeon.

What Charles couldn't hold back the most was...

Fels actually discussed with Raul seriously:

"This is not a natural terrain. Monsters without intelligence do not have the habit of building nests like birds. This is not something they would do!"

Fels's subconscious is a heresy.

"Even if it was done by a monster, so what? That's no reason for you to leave the team without permission, Miss Fels." Raul put his hands on his hips and acted like a captain: "If you find anything unusual, you should alert the captain instead of acting alone!"

"...Sorry, I didn't mean to..." Fels looked at his delicate hands and apologized subconsciously.

She forgot that she had become a newbie and thought she was just doing her routine inspection of the dungeon.

Raul lectured Fels for another three minutes, and then everyone set off again.

……

When the team finally cleared out the monsters hiding in the thick fog and attacked, and passed through the thick fog, when Raul turned back to count the number of people, he found that Fels had disappeared again.

"...No, what's the reason this time? Even if I act alone here, it would be easy to die!" Raul was sweating coldly.

If there are casualties the first time I lead a team, doesn't that prove that I am extremely incompetent?

Alfia said, "Before the breath disappeared, she seemed to pause for a moment, as if she was attracted by something."

"Well, let's go back and look for it." Raul felt tired.

Charles didn't expect that Fels would be the worst one.

"Maybe he really cares about that nest." Ciel made an excuse for Fels: "Let's go back and take a look."

"If there is anything abnormal, we can clean it up."

Charles thought that Fels had found a heretic, so he left secretly.

Several people shouted Fels' name and returned to the thick fog.

In order to expand the search area, several people subconsciously kept a distance of about two meters and spread out in a circle, but they could still vaguely see each other's shadows.

During this period, they also encountered some attacks from monsters hiding in the thick fog, but they were all resolved with the joint efforts of everyone.

Of course, part of it was that Alfia died secretly. No notice was even issued.

Charles was very dissatisfied with this.

This is not new at all! Don't waste your precious skills!

however……

When everyone found Fels hiding in a cave, staring at a burn mark on the wall, and gathered together again, Charles fell silent.

"one two three four five six……"

Cassandra, Alfia, Firth, me, Alpha...

Including Pochi who was protecting Cassandra, there were six shadows in total.

very good!

Raul is missing!

Charles pulled the corners of his stiff mouth, and a drop of embarrassed cold sweat slowly slid down.

"No, I'm such a big boss?!"

Charles looked at Pochi who was lying beside him. Could it be that this guy accidentally took Raul's place?

Who did Raul follow?

Is it us newbies who are lost, or is it the big guys who are lost?

I don't understand! I don't understand!

Chapter 260 Boss, help!

Charles couldn't help but start to reflect on himself.

"Have we overestimated Raul? He may not be the boss we are looking for!"

Alpha played with the steel ball in his hand, with arcs flickering faintly between his fingers: "Master Ciel, if I may be frank, he probably can't even beat me."

"..."

"What should we do now? Go back to find Mr. Raoul?" Cassandra stuck to Pochi. The environment here made her feel uneasy. Only Pochi's thick fat could give her a sense of security.

Ciel did not make a decision immediately, but looked at Fels and asked:

"What's going on? You left the team twice in a row. Did you find something?"

Fishers stretched out his finger and slid it across the charred wall. His fingertips were stained with a black substance, which he sniffed at the tip of his nose.

"The fluctuation of magic power is not fire."

Alpha came closer, sensed it, and confirmed, "It's lightning!"

"I also found many traces of battles along the way. There must be a team that was hunted by monsters. Why didn't I see any bodies? This makes me worried."

Fels analyzed: "First, the adventurer escaped, but hid in a cave. Second, the adventurer's body was hidden by the monster."

The reason why there is no option for monsters to eat people is because monsters, like wild animals, do not like to eat bones, which are too hard. Moreover, adventurers usually have protective gear on them, but there is no scattered metal along the way.

"Hide the adventurer? Could it be possible?!"

After listening to Fels' analysis, Ciel thought of an abnormal enhanced species.

[Moss Giant]!

It was a special monster that would appear in the future. It would hunt adventurers, steal their magic stones, then beat them to a pulp, hide in a corner of the maze, set traps, and wait for more prey to come.

This is an abnormal character that is somewhere between a heretic and a monster.

Although it has intelligent combat thinking, it is still an incommunicable monster in essence.

This is an obvious "abnormal situation"!

"Could Raul have been captured by this thing?" Cassandra asked nervously.

"possible!"

"Then let's go rescue him!"

"Wait..." Charles was about to move, but suddenly realized something, stopped, and asked curiously:

"Isn't he the one who came to save us? He's the boss?"

"Hear, what people say?" Alfia couldn't hold back the corners of his mouth.

Following Charles, it seemed like interesting things always happened, and the boring maze exploration seemed to become less boring.

……

On the plain 500 meters away from the cave where Charles is.

Raul was panting heavily.

He raised his shield to block the blow from the three-meter-tall giant pig-headed man (orc), and dodged with his sword, which grazed its side.

The orc screamed, and the wooden stick made of white dead tree in his hand fell to the ground. His huge body fell with a bang, splashing a light dust.

"Damn it, I actually made such a low-level mistake!"

He sat on the fat corpse of a monster, his wrist trembling slightly. Beside him lay a dozen young goblin corpses. It was obvious that he had just experienced a small-scale monster feast.

After the crisis was resolved, Raul couldn't help but begin to reflect on himself.

The main reason why he got lost was that he had limited vision in the thick fog. He accidentally mistook the goblins and orcs for his teammates and Pochi, and followed the monsters for some distance.

When he suddenly realized that his teammates' voices were gradually getting smaller and were moving away, it was too late to turn back and he was targeted by the surrounding monsters.

at the moment……

"Where is this place?"

All around him were identical white oak forests, gray weeds swaying on the ground, and dim magic stones on the ceiling, not enough for him to tell where he was.

The fierce battle had made him lose his sense of direction, and he had no idea which direction he was coming from.

"Damn it, I have to reunite with everyone soon!"

Raul gritted his teeth, he didn't know whose fault it was.

Logically speaking, shouldn't the newbies follow closely as the captain?

But all five teammates lost track of him at the same time. Was there something wrong with him as the captain, or were his teammates simply not taking him seriously as the captain?

If Raul knew that the most basic inherent talent of a newbie is getting lost, he probably wouldn't care about this problem.

There was no time to deal with the corpse of the monster on the ground. Raul threw out his sword, then chose a direction and moved forward with his head covered. While he ran, he listened to the movements around him.

If the team still reports the number as he requested, they should soon realize that they are missing and stand there looking for themselves.

What he didn't realize was that shortly after he left the battlefield, a translucent snake-like figure flashed vaguely in the thick fog, and it drilled into the fat body of the orc, accurately took out the magic stone and crushed it.

In the thick fog, a pair of deep blue pupils stared at the direction where Raul was going away, and finally his figure disappeared into the sea of ​​fog again.

……

In a huge cave room on the east side.

"Boss, where are you, boss!"

"Raul, answer me!"

Charles sat on Pochi's back, his hands in the shape of a trumpet, shouting left and right.

Behind him followed a large group of orcs and hard-skinned rats, all of which were monsters attracted by Charles's shouting.

The javelin-like bristles were launched from the hedgehog-like hard-skinned mouse's back and hit the iron pot held by Alfia, making a clanging sound.

"Roar!" Alpha, who was held in Pochi's mouth, swung his hand and shot out a steel ball. The roaring magnetic field exploded in the crowd of monsters, hindering their pursuit speed.

Along the way, Charles encountered many adventurers, but when they saw the rampaging demon bear breaking through the thick fog, carrying four children on its back and an elf in its mouth, they all shrank back.

What's more, behind this bear, there are nearly thirty "monster armies" chasing after it.

"Hurry... run, it's a reinforced species! It's holding the adventurer in its mouth!"

Pochi: Are you polite? Can't you see that I'm the one working the hardest?

Pochi made a precise misstep and avoided the scattered monsters that were surrounding him from the front, while also increasing the number of the monster army behind him.

After running for thirty minutes, I finally saw Raul's figure rushing out of the thick fog at the end of the fog ahead.

"Captain!! We finally found you, Captain!" Charles cried with joy.

Raul also quickly confirmed the number of people in the team.
