Demon King, Don’t Run Away

Chapter 91: Hiding merit and fame

Views:

The loud voice echoed in the empty dungeon. The group of adventurers who were concentrating on fighting the ogres subconsciously looked in the direction where the voice came from.

Yang Yu rushed to the ogre at lightning speed, drew the sword from his waist, and slashed the ogre's chest with the sword, leaving a shallow cut.

"Iyas, Bai Jin, keep up the attack! Cover me!"

Iyas loosened her hand, and the longbow with a full charge shot out a sharp arrow. A hurricane gathered on the arrow head, and with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, it drew a silver-white arc in the dim dungeon, hitting the ogre's throat exactly.

[Wind Break], the basic attack multiplier is 120%, which seems very low, but the attack comes with 80% armor ignore, which is extremely effective against high-defense ogres.

The ice arrow followed the bow and stabbed towards the ogre's face, instantly freezing the ogre's head.

Bai Jin's health gradually improved, and her intelligence returned to 400. A simple ice arrow could cause huge damage.

However, the ogre did not fall down. It raised the wooden stick and smashed it towards Yang Yu. Yang Yu did not dodge. He lowered his center of gravity and used [Shield Counter], allowing the huge wooden stick to fall on the shield covered with red spikes.

A red electric current reflected from the shield and went straight to the ogre's heart, exactly draining away the last bit of blood in the ogre's blood tank.

The light in his eyes completely lost, and the ogre fell backwards like a hill, colliding with the cold floor. The dull sound echoed throughout the passage, and the splashed dust left faint marks on the wall.

“Crackle—”

The ogre's huge body turned into stars of light and flew towards the walls and ceiling. A large amount of gold coins fell from the ogre's disappearing body like water and rolled to the feet of the five-member adventurer team.

It was only then that they realized they were being robbed.

There is an unwritten rule among adventurers exploring dungeons.

In a dungeon where danger and wealth coexist, fighting each other will only hurt both sides and no one will be able to continue the strategy. Only by respecting each other can a win-win situation be achieved.

When a monster is targeted by a team of adventurers, everyone else must follow the order of arrival and leave in a tacit manner so as not to disturb them in their strategy.

There are only two situations in which you can take over their business: either they give up voluntarily, or they are killed by the monster.

After the opponent kills the monster, you must not covet the opponent's spoils and rob them in the dungeon.

This rule is set so that everyone can make money and spend money.

However, not everyone will abide by this rule. In the face of absolute interests, all rules are just empty words, let alone these unwritten rules.

Therefore, there are often some adventurers who, taking advantage of their own strength, use various excuses to seize the fruits of other people's labor.

Especially those small teams of adventurers are particularly easy to be bullied.

It's not that small teams of adventurers haven't thought about uniting with each other to form a larger group, but for the sake of their own interests, most of the time they are like scattered sand and there is no way they can stick together.

As a result, most small teams of adventurers formed the idea of "as long as they don't bully me" and "as long as they don't go too far, it doesn't matter", and explored the dungeon with a fluke mentality.

And those who are powerful also know how to control themselves. After all, there have been precedents of small teams of adventurers uniting to defeat powerful adventurers who are bullying others in dungeons.

Originally, this team that was attacking the ogres thought that if they could drive the ogres to the first floor, no one would use the excuse of "I was the one who dealt the final blow, so I am the one who killed the ogre, and all the spoils are mine!" to seize the fruits of their labor.

But I didn't expect that the thing I was most worried about still happened.

The three people who robbed their monster looked very young, but adventurers must never judge a book by its cover, so for a moment, the five-man team that had been working so hard to reduce the ogre's health was also confused.

After thinking it over, they decided to first ask the question "Why do you want to steal our monsters?" to test the waters before making any plans.

Just as the captain of this team of adventurers was about to ask, the young boy opposite grinned at them.

"No need to thank me. I never leave my name behind when I do good things. As the saying goes, when you see injustice, you should help. It's just a small favor. Just pick up the coins slowly! We still have to go down to find other monsters. Please make way for us."

After saying that, Yang Yu waved to Bai Jin and Iyas, and the three of them passed by the adventurer team and headed towards the second floor of the dungeon.

Only the five-man team that was attacking the ogre was left, disheveled in the wind.

What's going on? There are people helping to kill monsters? Are they novice adventurers

If it is true, we may be lucky this time. At least those adventurers who might bully us will not bother us again for the time being.

After all, you have to pick the softest persimmons.

Mournful silently for the fate of the three, the five-member adventure team turned their attention back to the gold coins scattered on the ground, their expressions a little ugly. They finally found someone who could fight, but in the end, no equipment dropped.

Moving forward along the passage, as Yang Yu expected, they successfully found the entrance to the second floor.

It was a Z-shaped staircase as wide as the passage and more than three meters high. Many of the steps were damaged, but the marks were still fresh.

Yang Yu’s guess was confirmed. There were no monsters on the first floor of the dungeon. The ogre came to the first floor through the stairs.

Taking Bai Jin and Iyas up the stairs, Yang Yu entered the second floor of the [Hall of Wisdom].

The sounds of various weapons colliding echoed in the passages, the sound of magicians chanting spells was heard continuously, and flickering lights appeared and disappeared in the dungeon.

This place is much more lively than the first floor. Yang Yu and his friends didn't arrive too late. There are a large number of monsters suitable for them to level up here.

The ogre that was just knocked down on the first floor was level 34, and its attributes were about twice as high as those of an average person. The monster on the second floor should be similar to that ogre, and it would be time-consuming and laborious to deal with it.

Therefore, Yang Yu made a prompt decision and decided to do good things that would benefit adventurers and fully promote the international spirit.

"Everyone, you've worked hard in killing monsters. Go take a break. If you don't mind, I'll take the final blow! Don't be afraid. All the items that pop up belong to you, and the experience points belong to me!"

Yang Yu would naturally not say such things in front of others. Doing good deeds without leaving a name, hiding one's merits and fame, is what makes a person great.
