The society is afraid that Shota Demon King just wants to be a salted fish

The goblins in the maze now have very high initial IQs. Although they are not at the level of ordinary people, they are still at the level of eight or nine years old.

The collected Goblin monsters sometimes even say one or two sentences, such as: "Charge!" and "Attack!"

Simple statements like this are still in Blue Star language!

It made Yan Mu feel more cordial.

For this reason, for these goblins to become their own people as soon as possible.

I specially installed 10 intelligence enhancements for them that are of no use to them at all. What I want is to make them feel my blessing.

Well, intelligence enhancement increases 0.5 magic power recovery and 10% magic power, but does not increase intelligence.

Goblin, who was already short of space: That's too polite, don't do this next time.

[Goblin (Elite):

Random slots (junior warrior, team gain, life enhancement 4, strength enhancement 5, intelligence enhancement 10.)

life 560

magic 120

Attack 20

Agile 11

Life recovery 1/second

Magic recovery 6/second

Comes with skills:

Strike: Swing the weapon to strike the enemy, causing 56 damage.

Junior Warrior: There is a chance that warrior goblins will appear during refresh, but they only have combat skills and no equipment.

Team gain: For each friendly unit within the 1-meter range, the Goblin value increases by [-]%]

Compared with those adventurers, the attributes of a single goblin are almost the same as those of adventurers chasing ordinary slimes and walking mushrooms.

But it would be a big mistake to underestimate it.

Their strength is not working alone.

Now most of the goblins on the first level of the maze have gathered together and used stone axes to cut down the surrounding trees to create small camps.

Some have even lit bonfires, erected totems, and jumped around them.

If you look closely, you can even find that the totem looks exactly like Yan Mu's dragon form.

The number of goblins in each camp ranges from hundreds to dozens.

This time, Team Boulder will face a camp of small and medium-sized goblins numbering around 150.

But Yan Mu is not optimistic about the current configuration of the Jushi team...

as predicted.

After the team easily defeated four elite goblins along the way, they saw a large camp not far away, as well as a group of goblins wearing uniform crotch cloths rushing towards them.

Everyone suddenly became excited.

For a party with four high-level adventurers and one mid-level priest, dealing with goblins at this level of junior adventurers is no different than sending money.

The leader, Shi Dang, rushed into the pile of goblins with a single charge.

After all, goblins at the junior adventurer level couldn't break through his defenses.

Then...

There's no after that.

It cannot be said that death is painless, it can only be said to be extremely miserable...

Even the priest had no time to treat him.

Then he was stabbed through four stone spears by the warrior goblin, and he was also hit with more than a dozen axes by the ordinary goblin whose strength exceeded the intermediate level.

Blood splattered far away...

The adventurers who suddenly lost their captain felt like they were racing past.

Boy, are they being fished?

Will your team be the first adventurer team to be fished by monsters?

Will it be written into textbooks and used as negative teaching materials?

If Yan Mu could hear their voices, Yan Mu would definitely say, no, you are not the first.

At this time, seven or eight teams had already encountered goblins. Some were lucky enough to have a small camp with only thirty or forty goblins, and some were unlucky to have a large camp with two to three hundred goblins.

In the end, there were only two intact teams left.

Some adventurers from other teams also survived, but it was unlikely that they would get out of the Immortal Maze alive.

After all, coyotes are not vegetarians.

...

and Xicheng.

At this time, at the Adventurer's Guild, the president, who was cheerful every day, frowned into a frown.

I had been carried away by the news that the princess was coming.

Judging from the current proportion of serious injuries among rift adventurers, the vast majority are intermediate and advanced adventurers.

Thinking back to the last time he met the verification group in Ducheng, the verification group's arrogant attitude made him feel dizzy.

It's not a big deal if the verification team is seriously injured, but the princess can't have any problems, not even a scratch.

That was the old king's little cotton-padded jacket, and he couldn't afford it.

It is definitely not possible to prevent the princess from entering the maze. After all, judging from the orders above, this time it is obviously to build momentum for the princess.

Then you can only eliminate the danger yourself first and confirm some things at the same time.

Thinking of this, the old president shouted loudly to the door: "Yashi! Call Qin Xin, Jiang Tao, and Lai Gang!"

"Yes, Lord President!"

A soft female voice came from outside the door, and then footsteps were heard fading away.

About half an hour later, Qin Xin and three others came to the president.

"I wonder what the president has to say?"

Qin Xin, the leader, asked respectfully.

The president took a sip of the cold tea on the table and said straight to the point: "I plan to go to the fissure to check for dangers. You guys pack your equipment and set off early tomorrow morning."

Qin Zhan was stunned and asked doubtfully: "According to the previous configuration of the crack verification team, it shouldn't be necessary for the president to personally take action, right?"

"After all, with the presence of a senior priest and five senior adventurers, it should be more than enough."

After hearing this, the president nodded slightly and asked with a smile:

"What if I tell you that this inspection team only consists of four high-level adventurers, a rookie who has just entered the high-level and has never fought against nobles, and a princess whose strength is unknown?"

"?" Qin Zhan raised a question mark and asked in confusion: "Didn't Her Royal Highness come to Hexicheng to visit the major families? Why did it become a verification gap!"

Now it was the old president's turn to be confused. Why did he visit all the major families? Why didn't I receive any news?

He asked in confusion: "Where did you hear the news? Who said that the princess is going to visit all the major families?"

"Isn't it true? The big families outside are rumored to be crazy." Several members of Qin Zhan's team nodded.

The old president can only say that when it comes to being a demon, you still have to look at these big families.

"Of course the princess didn't make a special trip to visit the major families. Those families are not worthy."

"The princess' main purpose for coming to the rift this time seems to be to build momentum, although it's just my guess."

Qin Zhan roughly guessed what the president was thinking, and he just wanted to eliminate the danger first.

After all, if the princess enters the rift and is seriously injured and kicked out, it will be fine.

Do you still want the face of He Xicheng?

However, I feel that with the help of the old president, there will be no suspense when the princess enters the rift.

The last time the president took action was eight years ago.

At that time, not far from Xicheng, a temporary space crack appeared, from which a large number of crack monsters poured out. The highest level monsters even reached the terrifying legendary realm!

You know, there are not even many adventurers in the extraordinary realm in Hexicheng, let alone the legendary realm adventurers.

There is simply no way to stop this wave of rift beasts.

Fortunately, the president had the manpower to turn the tide and kill all the high-end monsters with their own strength.

Those low-level monsters were killed completely by ordinary adventurers...

In that beast wave, Hexi City only lost more than forty civilian adventurers and one noble adventurer...

After that beast wave, the major families did not dare to look at the president at all.

It's not that he's afraid of the president's strength, but he's worried that without the president, Hexicheng won't be able to withstand the next beast wave.

"If there is no doubt, we will gather in front of the guild as soon as the hour comes tomorrow."

"We won't take the senior priest from here this time. We will take Gu Quan directly from the camp outside the rift."

"Yes!" The crowd responded loudly.

Watching everyone leave, the president felt much better.

"I hope nothing goes wrong this time."

The president murmured.

At this time, the capital of Yanling Empire was.

The old king was always paying attention to the news coming from Hexi City.

When he saw the message from President He Xicheng, he blushed a little.

It seems that the president has exaggerated a bit. A four-meter-tall knife-wielding slime seriously injured dozens of high-level adventurers a day.

There was also the muscular jungle wolf, and the Cold Cave Demon Spider's web that couldn't escape if it was stuck to it. The old king could only say that this was a talent.

If this publicity is successful, then this pillar of the country must be rewarded.

After all, working so hard and being able to achieve unified tone with Xicheng is not something that ordinary people can do.

The senior officials who were called to the old king's palace saw that the old king was in a good mood.

Of course, everyone knows the reason.

They all came forward to congratulate.

"Does any of you know where the treacherous son of the eldest prince has gone?"

The king waved his hand to stop everyone's flattery, and then he thought of the purpose of calling a few people here this time.

"Ah, this..."

The ministers didn't know what to say.

After a long silence, one of the ministers had no choice but to speak.

"Your Majesty, I don't know the current exact location of His Highness, but according to my guess, he should be on his way to Hexi City."

"After all, there are rumors that humanoid slimes are suspected to appear in the cracks..."

The minister did not dare to say the next words.

The face of the old king who originally smiled kindly turned dark instantly.

Considering the eldest prince's out-of-the-box personality, it's really possible that he would go to Hexicheng.

He was so angry that he punched the table hard, those damn goblins who wrote novels.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

The ministers were accustomed to it. Every time the eldest prince was mentioned, His Majesty would scold these goblins who wrote various stories.

Who knows that most of the masters who write storybooks are goblins?

These guys deserve to be called the most astute race, and they are very good at understanding the psychology of all kinds of old people.

And among these old men is their eldest prince.

Thinking of the pile of blushing books found under the eldest prince's bed a few years ago, the well-informed old king was momentarily stunned.

At that time, the old king subconsciously said:

"Damn it, is this the sexual interest of young people nowadays?"

The eldest prince who was publicly executed felt ashamed to face everyone in the imperial capital, so he used this excuse to run away from home.

"Hey~"

The old king stood up from his seat, walked to the door, and looked towards the distant sky.

"What about the other side of the rift?"

When everyone heard the old king's inquiry, their expressions suddenly became unhappy.

Everyone naturally knew which rift the old king was talking about.

"It has begun to expand slowly, assimilating the thirteen-meter area around the fissure."

“It’s getting harder and harder to suppress.”

The old king couldn't help but rubbed his brow.

I don’t know if those legendary and saint-level spirit masters can find a better way to suppress it.

Perhaps all the middle and low-level adventurers living in Qiling Continent are not aware of the current crisis on the continent.

The ultra-high-level permanent rift suppressed in the tower of the Free City is certainly not a lie.

Not only the Free City, but also the five major continental empires have this kind of extremely high-level terrifying rifts.

The intelligence of the creatures in some rifts is no lower than that of Qiling Continent, and their strength even far exceeds the current strength of the continent.

But for some unknown reason, as soon as those strong men came to this world, their strength was severely reduced and they were suppressed to the legendary level.

After killing more than a dozen strong men who wanted to invade this world, the other party got smart and began to study how to reduce the oppression on them here.

They really found it.

Just by injecting your own soul power into the rift, the rift will gradually expand, and even slowly affect the environment around the rift, allowing the strong men in your world to slowly release their suppression.

As the saying goes, there are policies above and countermeasures below, and Qi Ling Continent is naturally not to be outdone.

Although he was unable to inject soul power, a legendary spiritual bond master developed a spirit bonding technique named the Rift Seal Style, which greatly slowed down the expansion of the rift.

Then the two sides spent hundreds of years.

This seal is an ability that all legendary-level spiritual masters must learn, and all new legendary-level masters will be recruited to study and update the seal.

At the same time, the matter of the rift was kept secret.

And every year, more than a dozen legendary adventurers are lost on our side.

It is still increasing year by year.

Fortunately, the emergence of crystal cards two hundred years ago eased the plight of the five empires to a certain extent.

The pressure has been reduced a lot.

This was also the main reason why the five major empires at that time jointly protected the remaining extraordinary spirit masters who had developed soul crystal cards, and used thunderous means to eradicate those big families and aristocratic families who reached out.
