Chapter 82: First Time Between Life and Death: Red Flame Devil

"Mikel, are you sure we are going to [Red Flame Demon] this time?"

In the Adventurer's Guild, a long-eared girl with green hair asked her companion anxiously.

Her tone was hurried, and one could hear full of worry from it, "Although the Red Flame Demon is classified between ordinary life and death, we all know that once something happens, its difficulty will suddenly increase! That is not something we can handle!"

The girl was about to burst into tears, "Last time, when we went there last time, we found that the sleeping demon had gradually woken up. I'm afraid this time..."

Among the companions, a tall man wearing simple leather armor and with prominent muscles shook his head when he heard this.

He was the Mikel mentioned by the girl, the leader of the Green Adventure Group.

At this moment, his brows were tightly furrowed.

He was not unaware of the situation the girl was talking about.

As an adventurer who has been in the Red Flame Demon area for many years, he has a clearer understanding of danger than the girl.

But

"Nami, we don't want to go there either, but in the past few days, Ruikou's injuries have worsened and she has fallen into a coma. We need money and points. The Red Flame Demon is the most rewarding among ordinary life and death."

Mickel said firmly,

"In addition, in the life and death of [Red Flame Demon], those activated weapons have a chance to produce 'vibration crystals', which is very good for Ruikou's recovery."

"Rikou's injuries have worsened again?" The green-haired girl Nami obviously didn't know the news. After hearing this, the worry on her face became stronger.

Ruikou is a warrior in their adventure group. Last time, she was injured to help the team resist the impact of [Corrosion Unicorn].

As a partner who shares life and death and adventures together, it is natural for the team to give her feedback and help at this time.

Silent followed everyone for a while. She seemed to have made up her mind and no longer mentioned the matter of quitting the Red Flame Demon Clan. She just looked around and reminded softly: "Captain, there is news recently that in addition to those monsters, the Blood Thorn Adventure Group is also among the Red Flame Demon Clan. If we meet them..."

"Ricco's injury does not allow us to delay any longer." Mikel put his hand on the long sword at his waist, making his heart calm, "If they make any moves, fight them!"

"Yeah." Nami nodded heavily and took a deep breath.

"Let's go. The Red Flame Demon Clan requires a minimum of seven people in the adventure group. Rico is injured, and we are still short of a vacancy." Mikel led the adventure group and walked towards the recruitment area, "I hope to recruit a reliable teammate."

The dangers among the Red Flame Demon Clan are indeed a headache, but recruiting temporary teammates at the same time is also a very difficult thing.

If the teammate is weak, it is very likely to drag the team down. If the teammate is strong, it is necessary to prevent being backstabbed!

In the face of a lot of temptations, human nature often cannot stand the test

There are many teams that have internal conflicts due to uneven distribution, not to mention temporary teammates.

Furthermore, some teammates seem to be good, but when it comes to danger, they become cowardly or flee, which will directly lead to the collapse of the entire team.

"I just hope to have a more reliable teammate. If it doesn't work, find someone to make up the number, and the six of us will act."

Milk has already made the worst plan at this time.

The six-person team entered the recruitment area, and there were many scattered people in it, looking for suitable teammates.

These people are all individual adventurers.

The Adventurer's Guild stipulates that each time you enter [Between Life and Death], at least seven people must form a team.

The biggest reason for doing this is to ensure the normal operation of the portal between life and death. It takes a lot of resources to open a portal.

And if you insist on entering alone, you can, but one person needs to pay the "ticket fee" for seven people, which is as high as 700 points.

Secondly, the name between life and death is definitely not just talk. Even experienced adventurers are prone to encounter accidents in it.

Forcing a team also means increasing the survival rate.

At the same time, it was mentioned before that the life and death between the deep and above must be led by a knight, which also improved the status of the knight.

For ordinary teams like the Green Adventure Group, the most important thing is actually the first two points.

Cost and safety.

Mikel walked into the crowd and shouted loudly: "Red Flame Demon, recruit one person! There are already six mature teams, one person is missing! Experienced people are preferred, and they must have twenty ordinary life and death experiences!"

A loud voice instantly attracted the attention of the surrounding casual adventurers.

But everyone just whispered, and did not really come forward to find them to form a team.

After all, the Red Flame Demon mentioned by Mikel has a loss rate of more than 30% for adventurers who enter it!

Ordinary people don't dare to challenge it easily.

After a while, finally a few people walked towards Mikel, and finally just sighed and shook their heads.

Either the attributes are not suitable, or the experience is too little.

Seeing this, Mikel also had a bad premonition in his heart.

The difficulty of the Red Flame Demon is too high, and it is really not easy to find a suitable teammate.

After more than an hour, Mielke's team still hadn't found a suitable team member.

Just as Mielke was considering whether to pay an extra 100 points to enter the life and death zone, a man in a black windbreaker walked up to him.

The man had a well-proportioned figure, but one could faintly feel the terrible explosive energy hidden in his body.

He had a well-groomed beard, his hair was a little messy, and his eyes were as aggressive as a lion.

After just one look, Mikel didn't dare to look him in the eye and avoided his gaze.

The man stretched out his hand, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Rune Graves. I seemed to see you recruiting teammates just now?"

This person was Rune.

While Mikel and others were eager to find teammates, Rune was also looking for his own temporary team.

He didn't want to be a sucker and pay a full 700 points ticket alone.

The most important thing is that some tedious and complicated tasks, as well as some miscellaneous work, need someone to do it.

However, Rune also has his own needs for the temporary team.

That is, they must cooperate tacitly and have certain strength, otherwise these people can only be a burden.

After waiting leisurely at the recruitment office for more than an hour, Mikel's team came into Rune's sight.

A classic team consisting of two warrior sequences, one archer sequence, two wizard sequences, and one priest sequence.

From their inadvertent positioning and the spiritual aura on their bodies, it can be detected that this team has been formed for a certain period of time.

The leader of the adventure team who took the initiative to enter the recruitment office to find temporary teammates was Sequence 8, barely meeting his requirements.

So he took the initiative to extend an olive branch.

Mikel was somewhat unable to resist the slight kindness and sharpness shown by Rune.

He forced himself to calm down, and then asked: "Excuse me, Mr. Rune, your sequence and ability are absolutely not my intention to pry into your privacy, but our team is now lacking a front-line warrior sequence, which needs to be responsible for attracting monsters."

Hearing this, Rune did not say much, but silently took out the Black Tower badge.

The moment he saw the badge, Mikel's eyes lit up, and then he suddenly realized something, "So you are a Black Tower Knight! I was wondering how there could be such a strong, but unfamiliar adventurer."

"To be precise, now it's a reserve knight." Rune corrected, "I like your team, let's go together."

Faced with Rune's commanding words, Mikel did not care, but instead walked towards his team with Rune with some joy.

Even though Rune was only a reserve knight, his powerful aura was clearly revealed.

Being able to team up with a powerful knight was great news.

Both strength and character were guaranteed.

Nami and her teammates stayed where they were, somewhat at a loss.

They all knew that going to [Red Flame Demon Clan] was definitely a difficult journey.

So far, the most dangerous area they had been to was [Howl of the Wasteland Wolf] between ordinary life and death.

The difficulty was probably between ordinary life and death.

Now we have to go to the most difficult Red Flame Demon Clan all of a sudden. It would be a lie to say that we are not panicking.

Especially when the team is not complete and temporary players need to be recruited.

Now we can only pray that Mikel can bring a strong temporary player.

"Let me introduce you. This lord is the reserve knight Rune. This time we will go to the Red Flame Demon Clan with us."

Mikel took Rune to the front of everyone. The word "reserve knight" was enough to prove everything.

While Mikel introduced her, Nami quietly observed Rune and then felt relieved.

The person in front of me, just by the powerful aura on his body, can make people feel extremely at ease.

The temporary team walked towards the portal between life and death.

After paying a hundred points for the ticket, a portal flashing red light opened in front of them.

Rune took the lead and stepped into it, and his eyes blurred in an instant.

It must be said that the quality of the portal between life and death is much better than the two portals that Rune had sat in before!

When landing, there was only a little dizziness, and there was no discomfort.

This is also to prevent being attacked by the enemy after landing between life and death.

Unlike the general "trial copy", between life and death is a real area.

The monsters inside will not talk about morality and will not appear until you are ready.

Here, you may be attacked at any time!

Rune shook his head lightly to make the dizziness disappear, and then looked at the fiery red world in front of him.

In front of him was a large area of ​​sand and dead trees. The sand was red, obviously affected by the Red Flame Demon, and the area around it became a fire element attribute.

The dryness in the air came with the wind and sand.

Milk also woke up from the dizziness. He walked forward and squatted, then picked up a ball of red sand, and his face changed.

"It seems a little different from the intelligence."

He did not dare to neglect it and immediately took out the notebook from his arms.

Rune also recalled the information related to the current life and death.

The Red Flame Demon is a kind of evil demon, usually the offspring of a succubus or a nightmare and a humanoid creature.

They are brutal by nature, love killing, are good at using fire and mental magic attacks, and have good close combat power.

This creature has the strength of Sequence 9 when it is a juvenile.

When it grows up, it will be promoted to the sequence and reach the peak of Sequence 8.

Recalling this, Rune also came to a conclusion.

There is a time error in everyone's information.

The Red Flame Demon can change the properties of these red sands so thoroughly, and its strength is definitely more than Sequence 8!

Its strength should be in the transition stage from the primary to the intermediate level of sequence 7.

Milk came to this conclusion, and when he told the news to the team members, everyone's mood became much heavier.

The difficulty of the life and death, which was already difficult, increased again at this moment.

With their strength, they could only fight monsters here with difficulty.

However, after discussion, they decided to move on.

In order to make money and save their teammates, they also took great risks.

After everyone finished discussing, they all looked at Rune.

As a reserve knight, Rune's status in the team is equivalent to that of the team leader Milk.

If he feels that the situation is not right and wants to quit, it will be bad.

However, when everyone's eyes fell on Rune's face, they were stunned.

Because there was a smile on Rune's face.

Knight Rune is smiling?

"Is this considered a bit challenging?"

Rune moved his hands and feet.

Ordinary life and death is not the place he should come to.

But the rule is that he must go through three ordinary life and death before entering the deep level, and Rune has no choice.

Originally thought to be three boring pushes, the news of the advancement of the Red Flame Demon Clan made things less boring.

However, his words were heard by everyone in the team.

What is "somewhat challenging"?

As a mature team, they have been in the outer city of the Black Tower for many years. Although they have not teamed up with formal knights to explore the deep life and death due to limited strength, they have teamed up with reserve knights several times.

Every reserve knight who came here was cautious, fearing that something might go wrong.

The Knight Rune in front of him was completely different from the knights he had seen before.

His strength can indeed be felt to be very strong, but his expression and words made people feel strange.

It seems that he doesn't take the life and death in front of him seriously.

But he clearly found these people to form a team. It means that he still needs to rely on his teammates.

In short, Rune's performance made everyone a little confused.

But they didn't show it directly.

The leader Milk called everyone together to discuss the combat matters briefly.

As soon as he spread out the schematic diagram, Rune held him down with one hand.

"No need."

"What do you mean by no need?" Milk was extremely confused.

The team members were also confused.

Rune said calmly: "No need means no need to go through so much trouble."

"To be honest, the reason I asked you to come here is to ask you to help me pack up the spoils and collect the items needed for the mission. For the rest, you just need to ensure your own safety and follow my steps."

"This time, the goal is to wipe out all the monsters here and then kill the Red Flame Demon Clan."

"No need to discuss the route and tactics, just follow me."

"Then start killing."
