Chapter 862: Robb’s Team of Five
The exact location of the Demon King City is unknown to anyone.
As soon as Xuelu heard about the Demon King City, her eyes lit up. She quickly took out a map of the Jinghong Mountains from her pocket. This map was known as the Macroscopic Region Map. Robb, unable to locate mines on it, couldnt prioritize mining at the moment. It was impossible to focus on mining without first resolving the issue of the monsters.
The monsters in the Jinghong Mountains had to be defeated before the adventurers could join forces and help him recover the ore.
Xuelus finger moved across the map as she spoke, Although the exact location of the Demon King City is unknown, the members of our Adventurers Guild have narrowed it down to a small area through the efforts of countless adventurers over hundreds of years.
She pointed to the northwest region of the Jinghong Mountains and said, Its right here. Its said that the ck Dragonsir is also nearby. However, the ck Dragon only causes trouble during the Year of the ck Dragon. It remains in itsir, sleeping, unless someone provokes it. It wont take action otherwise.
Robb understood this much. The ck Dragon was an NPC from the game who had crossed over to this world. It would certainly act ording to the rules set by the game. It caused chaos once every four years, and during the intervals, it remained inactive. It wouldnt do anything unless someone entered its active attack range.
Well carefully search this area, and well definitely find the Demon King City, Xuelu said.
Robb asked, If you can find it by carefully searching this area, why hasnt anyone from the Adventurers Guild found it in hundreds of years?
Xuelu chuckled and said, They werent strong enough! The adventurers who went to search there all died.
Robb remained silent. Describing them as a group of weaklings was actually a way of praising themthey were nothing more than a bunch of insects.
Suddenly, Xuelu turned to Robb with a mischievous smile.
Unable to resist, Robb asked, Just say what you want to say. Stop staring at me andughing like that.
Xuelu said, Darling, when we go on this adventure, can you please stop rushing ahead and doing everything? Let the three of us, ah, no, including Suofa, make it four, handle it. Let the four of us engage the monsters first, and if we cant handle it, then you can join in.
Robb asked curiously, Why make it soplicated?
Because if you deal with all the monsters at once, there wont be any left for me to enjoy the adventure, Xuelu replied. Exploring the Demon King City has been my lifelong dreama grand adventure Ive always wanted to undertake. If you sweep through everything, wheres the fun in that?
Robb responded, Whats the point? Were here to do serious business.
Doing serious business is also about satisfying your sense of justice, isnt it? Ultimately, its a form of spiritual fulfillment, Xuelu exined. And I want to go on an adventure, to experience excitement and joy. Its equally important.
Robb remained silent.
Alright, although it sounds a bit off, it actually makes sense. Robb has always believed that anyone doing good deeds is ultimately seeking a sense of fulfillment.
When humans perform good deeds, they experience a spiritual satisfaction. This is the driving force behind everyones good deeds, and it cannot be denied.
Well then, Ill y the role of a priest and provide healing for everyone along the way, Robb chuckled. And you four, warrior, hunter, magician, and thief.
Suofa protested, Im not a thief, Im an assassin!
Gordaughed and said, An assassin is just an advanced thief, right? The skills are simr, its all about lock-picking, stealth, and assassination. The only difference is that thieves are more basic.
Suofa protested vehemently, But Im an assassin, not a thief.
Alright, alright, youre an assassin, Robbughed. In any case, we are a standard five-person team: warrior, magician, priest, hunter, and assassin.
Finishing his words, he somehow conjured a staff of life from somewhere and held it in his hand, saying with a smile, Now, do I look like a priest?
Gorda chuckled, You need to add a wow to make it convincing.
Robb eximed, Wow!
The other four individuals collectively sweated, Such a punchable voice.
Thats the voice that needs to be punchable. Its the essence of being a priest. You guys understand nothing, Robbughed. Lets go, to the Demon King City.
And so, the great adventurers party of five set off towards the northwest. They became the first team in the history of the Fengmo Continent to set foot in the Demon King City. Their story was destined to be an epic, and of course, heres a sneak peek into the stories that the poets will sing.
The legendary party of five, braving all obstacles, defeating countless monsters, ventured deep into the Demon King City. They fought the evil demons with all their might, shedding blood and sweat but not tears. After a bloody battle, they finallyid the demon race to rest, bringing peace to the Fengmo Continent.
The poems of the poets were always filled with this glorious and righteous style. However, the actual situation was quite different. Behind the scenes, it looked more like this: Wow! Xuelu! Great job, Robb hid behind arge rock, casting a basic healing spell while pretending to tremble and shouted, Quickly defeat this minotaur. Im so scared.
Xuelu swung her staff, relentlessly pounding a minotaur, leaving it covered in bruises.
Suofa grumbled from behind, What kind of magician are you? Use some magic attacks!
While vigorously swinging her staff, Xueluughed and said, Im actually testing the effectiveness of the newly learned beginner staffbat techniques from my training manual. This training manual is so useful, my staffbat skills have be so strong, haha. Its like the skills of a monk, right? Haha, its fun, its fun.
This is not the time to have fun! Take it down quickly, Suofa shouted. Be careful and dont get into trouble.
I do want to take it down, but I cant knock it out, Xuelu forcefully struck the minotaurs forehead. I dont know why, but these skills have such low power. Look, I hit it hard on the head, but it only got a few bruises and wont die.
Robb, from a distance, sarcastically remarked, The power of these skillses from both strength and agility. Your strength and agility are too weak, so they dont have much impact.
Xuelu said, Then buff me! That skill, whats it called? Divine Blessing or something.
Robb shook his head, Youre asking for the impossible. Thats a skill for pdins. Im just a novice priest tagging along on this adventure. Im just here for the ride.
Xuelu eximed, Hey!
She continued to protest, but Suofa couldnt take it anymore. In an instant, she jumped over and swiftly stabbed the minotaurs back with two Titansteel daggers. The minotaur let out a cry of pain and fell to the ground with a loud crash.
Suofa sheathed her daggers, pped her hands, and turned around. Such a waste of time, she said as she walked away.
