Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

7.23 - Uninvited Guests

Time goes back half an hour.

On the outskirts of Dris Town, near the entrance to the Green Ghost's Lair, the frustrated Babol deliberately took a look at the entrance to the maze, and then left in frustration.

As the representative of Madison Town, Barber felt very sorry that he was unable to enter the maze as a member of the expedition team this time.

In order to achieve results in the maze, he did not hesitate to make up a lie that he had passed the orange trial, and even brought a lot of younger brothers to build momentum at his own expense, but in the end, all of it was in vain.

Babol lamented that the maze expedition team was too complicated and not something someone like him could afford to play with.

Now that he had seen the entrance to the maze with his own eyes, he felt that his wish had come true. Babol spat at the glowing object at the entrance to the maze, then turned around and returned to the town of Dris.

On the way to the town of Dris, Babol saw a tall and thin old man in a tattered gray robe walking towards him.

Seeing that the old man looked poor, Babol thought he was just a beggar and walked past him without paying any attention.

But the old man took the initiative to speak to Babol. He asked Babol, "Hey, you came at the right time. Do you know a man named 'Banning'?"

The old man's vulgar words made Babol even more upset. What's with the "Banning Gouning"? Can't he be polite when asking people questions?

Babol was not a good person to begin with, and he was in a bad mood, so he yelled back at the old man.

"If you don't want to die, get out of here, you stinky beggar!"

After yelling, Babol spat at the old man in disgust.

In Babor's opinion, his saliva would hit the old man's face exactly, but he was wrong.

Babol's saliva did not fly onto the old man's face, because while his saliva was still in the air, Babol's head had already left his neck.

"Young people nowadays are so rude."

The ragged old man moved so fast that it seemed like teleportation. Before Babol's saliva and head fell to the ground, he had already appeared behind Babol, and a red skull sickle with a chain wrapped around the end appeared out of thin air in his hand.

As Babol's saliva and head fell to the ground one after another, a large amount of blood spurted out from the severed surface of Babol's neck. The old man threw out the sickle and accurately pierced Babol's neck artery. Then Babol's blood stopped gushing out, but was all sucked into the sickle.

"Have you finished eating, Drab? If you're done, we'll go find Banning."

The old man was talking to the sickle, but the sickle didn't respond to him. In fact, it was just the old man talking to himself.

After a few minutes, the old man saw that the strong man he had killed had turned pale and bloodless, so he retracted the sickle and threw it into the air. The red skull sickle turned into a red light and disappeared into the air.

·

The old man in the tattered grey robe continued forward until he saw two entrances to the maze.

The old man paused, remembering that his employer seemed to have said that the boy named Banning seemed to be planning to go to a maze called the "Green Ghost Lair".

"Let me see... what this maze is called..."

The old man went forward and took a look, and found that the name of the maze happened to be called "Green Ghost Lair", which really helped him a lot!

"Fufufufu... Great, great. It seems the gods in heaven also take care of murderers equally."

The old man smiled and touched his messy beard, then walked straight into the glowing object at the entrance of the maze.

All of this was seen clearly by the little sparrow guarding the nearby tree.

The little sparrow's eyes went straight to the brain of the "Sky Ghost", and the Sky Ghost was shocked by this scene!

"Earth ghost! Earth ghost!!"

The Sky Ghost was running and shouting in the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons. After finding the Earth Ghost, he immediately told him what he had just seen.

"Earth Ghost! Your 'highest combat power'! He just went into the 'Green Ghost Lair' on his own!!"

Upon hearing this, Digui was stunned. Why did the development of this matter differ from what he expected?

According to the nature of the "Supreme Combat Power", shouldn't the murderous maniac start his killing spree in Dris Town first? Why did he go straight into the "Green Ghost Lair"? Did he take the wrong road?

"Tiangui, you're not seeing things, are you? Are you sure you're really looking at that old monster, 'Blood-sucking Serpent Orlosk'?"

"Of course I'm not mistaken! How could I be wrong about a person of this level!"

The Sky Ghost's words were very certain, and the Earth Ghost also believed that with the Sky Ghost's surveillance capabilities, it would not be wrong.

The way things turned out was completely beyond Digui's expectations.

"Well... the highest combat power is indeed uncontrollable... This old monster really has no patience at all..."

The Earth Ghost slapped the Sky Ghost's thigh in frustration. The development of the situation was now even more difficult for him to control.

Upon seeing this, the Sky Ghost patted the Earth Ghost on the shoulder and comforted him with kind words.

"Earth Ghost, this isn't all bad. That old monster entering the maze is like sending another Stone of Liberation into it. The difficulty of the maze has probably risen to a new level now. It's definitely not an environment where someone like Banning can escape safely."

"Besides, even if we enter the maze, the old monster will definitely continue to hunt Banning. In this way, won't our chances of achieving our goal be more certain?"

After some analysis and comfort from the Sky Ghost, the Earth Ghost felt much better.

Indeed, they are now doubly insured. Banning is trapped in the maze and cannot escape.

Time goes back to the original timeline. After seeing the changes in the monsters in the military camp, Jiang Ran had already thought about running away.

Jiang Ran needed a lot of effort to defeat a third-level monster, but now, in this military camp alone, he had to face four or five hundred third-level goblins and forty or fifty fourth-level goblin captains!

There is no doubt that no matter how the fight is fought, Jiang Ran's final outcome will be horrible.

The only thing to be thankful for is that these goblin troops are all on the outskirts of the core, a bit like an outpost camp.

As long as Jiang Ran doesn't attract their attention next, he can sneak into the core of the city.

(Stupid Loli: Then, you can see even scarier monsters.)

(Jiang Ran: Yes, this trip is really a case of no risk, no gain.)

Silly Loli's ridicule was a bit joking, but the current situation was just as she said, the deeper you go into the maze, the more likely you are to never come back.

Jiang Ran is now faced with a choice:

Are you going to back down here?

Or should we continue moving towards the core of the maze?

In the sky, the red beam of light still marked the location of the core of the maze. Jiang Ran looked at this location which was not too far away and began to calculate the gains and losses and risks in his mind.

If you move forward, you will find the truth about the Feiqi family's plan, Shirley's favor, and possible unexpected gains... but there will also be unexpected deaths.

If we retreat, there is "relative safety", but other than that, there is nothing.

Want to take a gamble?

The problem that had occurred countless times appeared in front of Jiang Ran again.

Jiang Ran’s choice was to take a gamble.

Riding his scooter, Jiang Ran carefully bypassed the goblin camp and continued on his way to the core of the maze hidden in the mountains.

7.24 - Hidden Magic Circle (Part )

In the forest, Viviana, a silver-haired and red-eyed girl with a white veil covering her face, was covered in blood.

This blood was not her blood, but the blood of the third-level monster "Two-headed Stone Python" that she had killed not long ago.

After killing the two-headed stone python, Viviana was in a pretty good condition. Coincidentally, she found another two-headed stone python eating not far away, so she thought of striking while the iron was hot and killing another one to consolidate her fighting skills.

However, just as Viviana approached the two-headed stone python, the stone python shed its skin and evolved into a "three-headed steel python" before her eyes!

Viviana was so frightened that she quickly retreated and hid.

Fourth-level monsters and third-level monsters are not enemies of the same concept.

Viviana can escape unscathed from a one-on-one fight with a level three monster, but if she faces a level four monster, it will be a life-and-death battle.

Normally, Viviana would think that she had just witnessed the moment when the monsters evolved, but this strange maze made her have another idea: Could it be that in that moment just now, all the monsters in the maze had increased their strength to a higher level?

It wasn't long before Viviana verified her guess.

On the flat ground beside the forest, Viviana discovered a goblin camp.

In the military camp, the weakest goblins Viviana could see were third-level goblin elite sword and shield warriors, and there were as many as four or five hundred of them.

According to the information Viviana knew, the goblin soldiers in the Green Ghost Lair should only be at the first level, but now they have the strength of the third level. This is no longer just "slightly stronger".

Viviana clearly sensed that after she entered the Green Ghost Lair, the strength of the monsters in this maze had been strengthened at least twice, and each time it was directly increased by one level of high-intensity strengthening.

As far as Viviana knew, this green ghost lair had three entrances, and there were also three corresponding maze bosses.

If we think about it in the same way as before, the three bosses at the core of the maze should also have their strength enhanced by two levels, which is beyond Viviana's imagination.

——(Red and Black Elders... can they handle it?)

Viviana no longer felt that the action plan arranged by the Feiqi family was an underestimation of herself. She even began to worry about the two old monsters, the Red and Black Elders.

If the maze bosses were three fourth-level monsters, the Red and Black Elders could easily defeat them.

But judging from the current situation, the maze bosses are at least three fifth-level monsters, and now the two elders may not be able to escape unscathed.

After watching the goblin camp for a while, Viviana evacuated. She found a safe place to eat something to replenish her strength, and then drank two bottles of powerful magic potions to restore her magic power.

At this point, Viviana felt that she had almost recovered to 80% to 90% of her condition, so she regained her spirit and headed towards the core of the maze again.

After more than an hour, Viviana finally saw the goblin castle within her field of vision.

The red light in the sky shines straight into the heavily fortified castle standing in the mountains. There is no doubt that the maze green ghost nest is in this castle.

Viviana watched from a distance and found that she seemed to have no ability to even enter the city.

First of all, there are four towering stone towers standing outside the city wall, which are estimated to be at least 30 meters high (ten stories high), and there are stone walls connecting the stone towers without any gaps.

The only way to enter the castle is through four gates in four directions, but each gate is guarded by two fourth-level "Goblin Gouki Giants", and between the four gates, there are two teams of elite goblin wolf cavalry patrolling constantly, leaving absolutely no loopholes.

Viviana is now very grateful to the Red and Black Elder for letting her read the "Goblin Population Atlas" carefully before entering the maze. If it were not for the knowledge she learned from it, Viviana might not even be able to distinguish the strength of the enemy.

·

Viviana observed the outskirts of the city for a long time. She tried to find an opportunity to sneak in, but there was really no cover at all on this mountain.

Not to mention sneaking into the fortress, even if she got a little closer, Viviana felt that she might be discovered by the goblins on the stone tower.

After countless internal deductions, Viviana came to a frustrated conclusion:

She was unable to complete the task assigned to her by the Feiqi family.

——(I’m sorry, Lord Scarlet Qi, and I’m sorry, Elders. I can’t go before the maze boss.)

There are only two options before Viviana:

Either turn back to the entrance of the maze, abandon the strategy and leave, declaring this operation a complete failure;

Either activate the hidden magic circle outside the fortress, summon the red and black elders, and then be scolded by them before accepting their orders.

After a very painful struggle, Viviana finally chose the latter.

The reason why she made this choice was very simple. She simply thought that if she chose the latter method, she would be scolded less severely. If she exited the maze directly on her own initiative, what would be waiting for her would be unimaginable and horrific punishment.

·

After making the decision, Viviana turned back and went deep into the forest to prevent the goblins from noticing the activation of the magic circle.

After confirming that the surroundings were safe enough, Viviana gritted her teeth, mustered her courage, closed her eyes, and injected a small amount of magic power into the hidden magic circle in her body.

Then, a red Four Symbols and Eight Stars magic circle appeared on Viviana's forehead, and then expanded and enlarged into a magic circle of the same structure but larger in size, rotating under Viviana's feet.

As the light of the magic circle grew brighter, two small star-shaped magic circles appeared in the large formation. Then, Red Prison Elder Rodrigo and Black Prison Elder Augusto appeared together in the star-shaped magic circle.

"Good afternoon, two elders."

Viviana bowed and saluted, then kept her head down, not daring to make eye contact with the two elders.
