"I'm sorry, my uncle is too old-fashioned about some things."
Leaving the Blood Lion Clan's mansion and walking on the deserted streets, Xin Mang folded his arms in dissatisfaction, feeling indignant.
“Anyone who saw your performance just now would think that you are qualified to join the dojo.
However, my uncle always feels that words once spoken are like water spilled, so having said that, he naturally won’t want to accept you into the temple.
Obviously, there were only a few of us present at that time, and it was just a matter of one sentence, but he...
Don't look at him like that, in fact, he admires you very much. Next time, you go to him again, you should be able to pass his test easily. Don't be polite, just learn whatever skills you want!"
As he spoke, Xin Mang looked towards Yang Yu and waved his two furry tails.
"It's really unexpected that you have such skills. You are still very young and have great potential. I can understand that you want to contribute to this country now.
But the war will not last forever. I can see that you don't want to get involved in this war for the sake of power. Deep down, you want to enjoy freedom and pursue strength.
How about it? If this war is over, would you like to join my adventure group [Baihuafanfen]
Don't look at me like this, I am a quasi-S-level adventurer, you will definitely learn a lot from me."
Faced with the olive branch thrown by Xin Mang, Yang Yu rejected it without hesitation.
"I also have my own adventure team. I left them temporarily to treat the wood metamorphosis in my body. Thank you for your invitation, but I will not leave them to join your adventure team."
"That's a pity."
Xin Mang showed no displeasure at being rejected. He stopped wagging his tail and drooped it, but soon started wagging again.
“You are already an adventurer and have your own adventure group, so naturally you have to climb to the top of S-level adventurers.
I hope that one day, we can become an S-level adventure group together, and then we can keep each other warm together."
"Hug together for warmth?"
In Yang Yu's opinion, S-level adventurers are all independent adventure groups, and what Xin Mang said about banding together for warmth is really a bit meaningless.
Noticing the confusion on Yang Yu's face, Xin Mang stopped.
"I thought that with your strength, your team was already A-level and had some plans for the future.
Have you ever explored the underground maze? "
Yang Yu answered truthfully, "I have tried it."
Xin Mang did not ask Yang Yu about his feelings when he conquered the underground maze, but went straight to the point: "Then you should know the rules among adventurers. In the underground maze, you cannot kill the prey that others have set their sights on."
"I know that, but it doesn't necessarily mean we can't kill it. As long as we don't touch the treasures they get in the end, it shouldn't be a problem to help them kill the monster."
"No problem. But are there really such kind adventurers? If so, give me a dozen."
Yang Yu smiled, and suddenly realized what Xin Mang wanted to say, and asked, "Are there any special rules between S-level adventure groups?"
Xin Mang nodded and started walking again.
“C-level and D-level adventurers, the lower-level ones, are usually active near forests where monsters are active. They only accept quests issued by the guild and rarely come into contact with more powerful maze monsters.
Adventurers above level B will begin to consciously search for underground mazes, conduct strategies, and obtain treasures.
The underground maze in this world is limited, with more wolves than meat.
There are some adventurers with ulterior motives who will break the rules. The small number of B- and A-level adventurers is half due to infighting.
If you want to get treasure in the underground maze, you must be prepared to be intercepted halfway.
The stronger you are, the less likely you are to be intercepted.
The bottom level is chaotic, but the upper level is orderly.
The only people capable of conquering a large underground maze are S-rank adventure groups.
Large mazes are also rare and extremely difficult to conquer, so they are not easy to conquer.
It is entirely possible that two completely different groups of S-rank adventurers will meet.
Question: If you knew that your adventure team had the ability to conquer an underground maze full of treasures, and a stronger adventure team came up behind you, what would you do
Suppose you were one of the adventurers later, what would happen?"
Yang Yu thought for a moment and replied, "There are countless treasures hidden in the underground maze, and no one would be willing to leave."
"Well. You are very smart." Xin Mang turned around and smiled at Yang Yu, "Faced with the temptation of treasure, no one would be so willing to leave. What do you think is the best response strategy for both parties at this time?"
Before Yang Yu could think about it carefully, Xin Mang gave the answer.
"If both sides take action, a third party will gain the upper hand.
Therefore, special rules were set among S-rank adventurers.
The later adventure group will give the previous adventure group some time to conduct strategies, and then both sides will send people to engage in a one-on-one duel.
The pure wins multiplied by the given time will be used as the winning team's strategy time.
For example, our adventure team comes after you and gives you eight hours to conquer the maze guardian. But after eight hours, you still haven't defeated it. We then have a one-on-one duel with you and win the duel with three wins and two losses, so we have eight hours to conquer the maze.
After eight hours, the strategy was changed again.
By the way, according to the rules, the adventurers who arrive later must give the adventurers who arrive earlier at least two hours to complete the strategy, but it cannot exceed eight hours. "
Yang Yu scratched his head. When he had conquered the underground maze before, he had never encountered other S-level adventure groups, and even the adventurers he met were very few.
A maze was conquered by Yang Yu not long after it appeared; a maze was conquered by Yang Yu before it even grew out of the ground; and there was also a maze in an uninhabited desert that could hide itself, which was also conquered by Yang Yu.
The appearance of [Hall of Wisdom] represents that various underground mazes of Laux have begun to sprout.
According to the information Yang Yu collected when he left the Library of All Things, several extremely large underground mazes have been discovered.
According to Skajard in the Hall of Wisdom, after the underground maze is built, it will actively emit special magic to attract others to explore.
Apart from the super-large mazes in remote corners, other underground mazes might have already been occupied by other S-level adventurers who intended to conquer them.
"What a troublesome rule. But, it can be said that this also guarantees the rights and interests of each adventure group. I thought they would work together to carry out the strategy."
"Of course this situation exists. With the consent of both parties, the two S-level adventure teams will join forces to attack. This must be done under the premise that the gap in strength between the two sides is not too big.
Often, each adventure group fights only for its own interests."
"So, you just said that we should stick together for warmth."
"After all, the rules will change with the adventure groups that join forces. We have two adventure groups, so when we fight, it becomes one against two. We can take advantage of our superior numbers and bully the S-ranked adventure groups that are ranked lower."
