Bai Jin found an empty alley and cast a soundproof barrier that enveloped everyone.
The sloppy man kept looking around. He had lost his excitement and became much calmer. He observed Yang Yu's expression and waited for Yang Yu to speak.
Opening the panel, Yang Yu saw that the man in front of him was named Bin Luo, the former captain of the quasi-S-level adventure team [Forget Worry Stone].
"What's the matter?"
Hearing Yang Yu's question, Bin Luo's emotions almost got out of control again.
Trying hard not to let his tears flow, Bin Luo told Yang Yu everything he had experienced.
Driven by greed, [Forget-Sorrow Stone] went up the snow mountain alone without telling other quasi-S-class adventure groups. They followed the trail and walked into the ice cave, but they didn't expect that they had stepped into the monster's trap.
The ice cave collapsed with a loud bang. In desperation, they used their skills to create a safe place in the collapsed ice cave. However, they did not expect the monster to chase them at such a fast speed. Before they could react, they were pierced through the chest by the monster's attack and fell in a pool of blood.
The priest of their team used up his last bit of strength to barely save Bin Luo's life, but the rest of the people died.
Spring is here. In order to deal with the mysterious monster, three S-level adventure teams from the Rose Empire gathered together. Bin Luo thought he could get his revenge, but the monster seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth and disappeared without a trace.
No matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find the monster.
In the end, the gathered S-level adventure groups went back to their respective homes, and the matter came to nothing.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The monster must be hiding in that ice palace.
It is extremely cautious.
This time, it was preparing to shed its skin and went to the nearby forest to search, which is when its true identity was exposed.
This is the last chance to defeat it.
If it continues to grow and becomes something we can no longer handle, then it will all be over.
The power of the quasi-S-class and A-class adventure groups is far from enough. Multiple S-class adventure groups are necessary to kill it.
I beg you, please contact other S-rank adventure groups immediately and kill it in the cradle before it becomes even more powerful."
Pinching the bridge of his nose, Yang Yu said calmly: "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. We are only a quasi-S-level adventure group."
"you are lying!"
Bin Luo almost lost his composure. Realizing that he had said something wrong, he immediately lowered his head and apologized to Yang Yu tremblingly:
"I'm sorry. I still can't control my emotions.
Why do I think you are an S-class adventure group
I once witnessed the birth of an S-rank adventure group, and the expression on the receptionist's face was exactly the same as the one she had today.
I will never make a mistake.
As long as you are willing to join forces with other S-rank adventurers to get rid of that monster, I am willing to serve you like a slave for the rest of my life."
As soon as Bin Luo finished speaking, a new task popped up on Yang Yu's panel.
[Mysterious Creatures in the Ice Palace
Mission Description: When the dragons were observing the world, they discovered something that made them feel extremely uncomfortable.
The dragons cannot directly use their own power to interfere with the entire world, so they can only issue tasks to adventurers. However, not all adventurers have the strength to complete the tasks, which has led to many tragedies.
Mission requirements: Kill the mysterious creature in the Ice Palace
Mission Reward: Everything left of the original S-level adventure group [Forget Worry Stone]. 1,000,000 experience points, 100,000 gold coins, 11 consecutive draws (must get epic items or above)
Special Reward: Dragons' Treasure
Special reward completion conditions: Accept the hunting mission issued by the dragon in the Adventurer's Guild.
special:????]
Both rewards are quite vague, and Yang Yu doesn’t know what he can get specifically.
One million experience points is quite tempting, but this is destined to be a difficult task.
"You said you had seen the monster before. What did it look like? You said it sheds its skin. Have you ever seen traces of it shedding its skin?"
“Only a few crumbs were found.
It was because of the molted debris that we tracked it all the way to that place.
It sensed us in advance.
That guy is a humanoid lizard that looks very much like a goblin.
We laughed at it for being ugly.”
A humanoid lizard that looks like a goblin and can shed its skin
Could it be that the mysterious creature in the Ice Palace is the reborn Goblin King
Yang Yu frowned slightly. From a goblin to a humanoid lizard, even the species has changed.
What's more frightening is that the humanoid lizard may just be a transition, above the lizard.
The Goblin King might want to become a dragon with great power.
So that's why it attracted the attention of the dragons.
Realizing this, Yang Yu was silent for a long time and gave his own answer:
“As much as I want to help you, we have only just become an S-level adventuring group, and we have never come into contact with any other S-level adventuring groups before.
Finding them and joining forces to kill the mysterious creatures is more difficult and time-consuming than you think.
After finally finding other S-class adventure groups and completing an alliance, that monster suddenly disappeared. I'm afraid they will only become enemies with other S-class adventure groups.
It’s a pretty risky choice.”
Hearing Yang Yu's reply, Bin Luo's face darkened again. He was only thinking about revenge for his partner and completely ignored these things.
If it was really that easy to do, he wouldn't have spent a whole year drinking alone in the Adventurer's Guild.
With his shoulders drooped and his fists clenched, Bin Luo lowered his head, sighed helplessly, and was about to turn around and leave.
Before he could take a few steps, Yang Yu's voice sounded again behind him:
“It’s troublesome to join forces with other S-rank adventurers, but we can try to capture that monster.
But, I told you in advance.
I don't want your tragedy to happen to my team. If I realize that something is wrong, I will prioritize the safety of our team instead of fighting to the last man.
If the strategy fails, you can record the process of our failure and then lobby everywhere.
I don't know if you've done anything before.
But instead of sitting in the bar all day drinking and numbing yourself, you might as well do something that at least you think will be meaningful. "
Hearing what Yang Yu said, Bin Luo, who was hunched over, stopped, raised his hands, covered his face, and was speechless.
Yang Yu then said to Bin Luo: "We also have our own things to do.
We must finish our business first before we can go to the Ice Palace in the north.
You have to keep the fact that we have become S-rank adventurers a secret for us.
If you do not keep confidentiality, you will bear the consequences.
Go find a place to change your clothes and get yourself ready, because we will be leaving with the pharmacy later."
After saying that, Yang Yu asked Bai Jin to put away the soundproof barrier, walked out of the alley, and went to the Adventurer's Guild to accept the mission.
