"This is the entrance to the abyss labyrinth." Looking at the mercenary team outside the crack at the foot of the mountain, Landero said to everyone.
Everyone looked at each other with excitement and solemnity in their eyes.
According to the information released by the Mission Hall, the Abyss Labyrinth is where the Abyss Dragon Roots and Abyss Ruins were discovered. Arriving here means that your real exploration is about to begin.
However, this is just the first step. The next road will be ten times more dangerous than getting here from the entrance to the abyss!
Everyone is familiar with the Abyss Labyrinth. Even those who have never been to the Abyss have heard of this place countless times from the mouths of mercenaries and adventurers.
This place is located fifty-six kilometers southeast of the entrance to the third level. It is also the edge of the area that humans have currently explored on the third level. Going further, there are extremely dangerous unknown areas. On the abyss map, these areas are simply
It was pitch black with skulls painted on it.
The Abyss Labyrinth was discovered eighty years ago. It was discovered by Count Lulian, who was adventurous in nature.
At that time, he led the exploration team he organized to explore the southeast direction of the third floor. It took nearly two months and went through a lot of hardships. When the casualty rate of the team members was as high as 30%, he finally finally
We arrived at the foot of this flaming mountain.
In the abyss, in addition to the abyss demons, there are also various demonized plants and precious ores growing. These are the main reasons that attract mercenaries to explore here one after another.
However, the magic plants are okay. As long as they can be found, it is not difficult to collect them. But the ores can only make people sigh. The ground of the abyss is as hard as iron, coupled with the harassment of demons and the environment that is not suitable for human beings to survive for a long time.
The harsh environment makes it impossible to develop even if a mineral vein is discovered.
Especially those precious ores that go deep underground are even more difficult to collect.
And the viscount discovered that this fiery red mountain had obvious characteristics of accumulation of fire elements. Even a stone on the surface contained powerful fire power. This also meant that deep beneath it, there was a lot of fire.
There may be a fire gold mine!
Fire gold is an extremely precious and rare metal.
Not only does this metal itself contain huge power of flames, and when forged into weapons, it can directly enhance the power of fire fighting spirit, but it also has an extremely wonderful complementarity with cold iron.
In the hands of some master blacksmiths, a set of seven-star armor can be upgraded to nine-star by mixing a tiny bit of fire gold the size of a little finger with cold iron and using their special forging skills.
With fist-sized pieces of fire gold, they can even create level 10 god-given equipment!
This shows how precious fire gold is, and we can also imagine how excited the count was when he discovered that the crack at the foot of the mountain could lead directly to the ground.
And the facts also proved that the count was right. It was here that he got a piece of fire gold worth more than half of his entire net worth. Moreover, it was not an ore. It was a naturally formed piece of extremely pure gold that was enough for a person.
A head-sized piece of fire gold.
However, the count also paid a heavy price for this.
The crack leads to an extremely dangerous and complex underground world.
There are spider web-like passages, a large number of underground rivers, lava pools that erupt from time to time, permeable poisonous gas and countless wandering demons. During the walk, people can easily get lost in the maze-like passages. What is even more terrifying is that every time
Every once in a while, dark clouds will appear in the cave.
The frequency of dark clouds here is much higher than outside. And in the closed cave, there is almost nowhere to hide. Over the years, no one knows how many mercenaries have been trapped in it and turned into a pile of bones.
Decades have passed. Other directions in the third layer of the abyss have been developed to hundreds of kilometers away. Only the southeast direction is still stagnant at fifty-six kilometers.
The existence of the abyss labyrinth has attracted countless explorers who covet fire gold. Some people have made fortunes here, and some have lost their lives here. But no one can truly conquer it.
Many world-famous strong men were able to escape unharmed on the fourth and even fifth levels, but they died in the abyss maze on the third level. This shows the danger here.
"What are they doing here?" Lacios looked at the mercenaries and asked.
"They should be negotiating for cooperation," Landro said. "The maze is full of dangers. It is the most efficient and safest way for several teams to work together to explore. Even if cooperation is not possible, it is best for everyone to reach an agreement of non-aggression. Otherwise
At that time, the ruins were not found, and they all died from killing each other."
"Then let's..." Lake looked at Landero.
Landro stared into the distance, hesitated and said, "They have five teams in total, one is from the Raphael Mercenary Group, one is from the Rock Mercenary Group, and one is from the Highland United Mercenary Group."
, and there are two temporary mercenary teams formed by mission halls like us."
He paused and said, "There are no people from the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group."
Everyone heard the implication of Landero's words. Lake nodded: "Maybe the reason why they negotiated and cooperated was to be wary of the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group."
"Let's go over and have a look." Landero stepped forward.
After walking out of the black forest, the mercenaries at the foot of the mountain had already discovered this team. Seeing them approaching, everyone turned their attention here.
After approaching, a middle-aged mercenary with slender eyes and two swords on his back stared at Landreaux and asked: "Are you Mr. Landreaux of the Ice Star Mercenary Group?"
"It's me." Landero walked over.
Roy and others, like other members of the mercenary team, consciously kept a distance.
"What are you..." Landero looked around and asked.
"Discuss cooperation." The middle-aged mercenary smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to shake Landreaux, "I am Wood from the Rock Mercenary Group. I have heard of your name for a long time. You are the famous Abyss Horse, even the fourth
I’ve also been to the first floor and the fifth floor. How’s it going? Are you interested in cooperating?”
"I..." Landreaux was about to speak, but a one-eyed man with a sinister face next to him said: "I object!"
Landro was stunned and turned to look.
The one-eyed man was the captain of a temporary mercenary team, a three-star knight of the Great Light, named Hoover. He was also a well-known figure among the mercenaries in the south. When Landro looked at him, he snorted coldly.
: "I'm sorry, I don't want to get into trouble."
Originally, when Wood was greeting Landero, the other three mercenary captains were also chatting with Landero. However, upon hearing Hoover's words, they suddenly froze, and all of them looked strange.
As we all know, this time to explore the abyss, the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group sent a total of more than a dozen exploration teams, including several professional hunting teams. Whether outside the abyss or within the abyss, they made great efforts
.Put on a posture of determination to win.
Now the Ice Star Mercenary Group and the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group are at war. Both sides are fighting a mess in the major provinces in the south, causing heavy casualties. Once they meet in the abyss now, they will definitely be extremely jealous.
If the Landero team is allowed to join, I am afraid that people like myself will also be affected.
Hearing Hoover's words, Wood frowned and said displeased: "Mr. Hoover, I don't agree with what you said. Do you think that without Mr. Landreaux, the villains of the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group would let us go?" "
"Yes." Olivia from the Highland United Mercenary Group nodded.
This is a tall Highlander witch with long fiery red hair, a pair of sexy thick lips and dark skin.
Different from the loose robes of other wizards, she wore a close-fitting leather armor with a black saber at her waist. She looked more like a female warrior.
Highlanders are straightforward and violent. In their dictionary, the word fear has never been mentioned.
Faced with Hoover's opposition, Olivia did not hide her disdain, glared at him sideways, and said: "If we really encounter the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group, at least I will not worry about Mr. Landreaux's position. On the contrary, Hu Your courage and will make me even more worried."
"What do you mean?" Hoover said angrily.
"Okay, okay." Jacob, the captain of Raphael's mercenary team, was a gentle swordsman. Upon seeing this, he persuaded: "Everyone, please stop talking and don't start fighting among yourself before entering the maze."
"I'm thinking about everyone," Hoover said. "Don't you know how dangerous the maze is? If things get messed up again because of some people, even if I agree, can our team members agree?"
This is the most realistic question, and even Olivia can only remain silent.
Upon seeing this, Landreaux said to Wood: "Mr. Wood, thank you for the invitation, but I think we'd better not cause any trouble to everyone."
Wood frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "I don't think it's better. Mr. Landreaux and your team will go with us. We also have to take care of each other. It's just..."
He turned to look at Hoover, and said to Landreaux apologetically: "If there is any other accident, there is nothing we can do to help."
Wood's proposal did not affect the interests of other people. Hoover opened his mouth to say something, but finally turned away in Olivia's cold eyes.
After all, as a mercenary, strength is only one aspect. Whether he is good at communication and cooperation is also an important criterion for evaluating his professional quality.
A strong man with extraordinary strength is not necessarily a qualified mercenary. On the contrary, some mercenaries who are not strong, but can always cooperate with their companions to complete tasks through cooperation, communication and correct judgment, and even escape death, are even more so. Respected by peers.
As a senior mercenary, Hoover naturally understood this truth.
He objected to the Ice Star Team joining because he didn't want to offend the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group. But now that he had removed himself from any conflicts that might break out in the future, there was no need for him to step out and become a villain again.
However, Hoover made up his mind that if he did not encounter the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group, the Ice Star Team would follow. After all, with one more team, he would be able to contribute less and be safer. If he encountered a thunderstorm The mercenary group expressed its attitude immediately and drew a clear line with the Ice Star Team.
