I asked you to be a mage, not to raise a nine-tailed fox

Chapter 169: Mina: We agreed to go through an S-level maze, why did we go through it now? (6k)

Silver physical technique.

Punch out.

The fire demon that pounced from the side was torn into pieces in an instant.

Mina and his companions didn't even have time to see the full appearance of the fire demon before Lucia's punch blasted them into sparks.

Mina: “…”

What happened?
Seeing that the crisis was resolved, Mi Xiaohu breathed a sigh of relief.

But it was a little strange. Wasn't it said that the S-level maze was extremely dangerous? Why were the sneak attacking monsters in this maze so fragile?

"Probably, level six, second stage hardness."

Lucia shook her hands and gave a final summary to the dead Martian.

The last fire element dissipated, leaving only a fire element crystal core.

And Mina's emblem lit up.

There were numbers jumping on it, and Mina's points jumped from 0 to 2, which meant that in addition to the fire element crystal core dropped by the sixth-level second-stage fire demon killed by Lucia, it also provided Mina with 2 points.

"These are hunting points."

Ansana shared the information she had gathered.

The points on the leaderboard are the accumulation of hunting points.

From the first day of entering the maze to the end of the fourteenth day.

A comprehensive ranking of the points of all monsters hunted in the maze.

The second stage of the sixth level provides 2 points.

If Mina wants to get into the top ten, that is, to complete the task assigned by the Archduke, he needs to get at least 1400 points within these two weeks.

1439 This is the current tenth place score.

Mina converted the points and found that their team needed to hunt down at least 14 level 700, stage monsters in these days.

This does not even include Kureya's part.

Mina and Kureya's points are calculated separately.

It is also necessary to reach the top ten.

This means that Mina and his crew must hunt at least twice as many monsters.

"Come to think of it, have you noticed?"

While Ansana was speaking, a fireball shield was cast for all the friends and their families.

Ansana immediately spoke more fluently.

And when Mi Xiaohu's ice shield lit up.

It's like turning on the air conditioner on a 40-degree day, so refreshing.

"The monsters here seem a little strange."

Mina made some happy water, asked Mi Xiaohu to cool it down, and then shared it with everyone.

In this hot fire maze, enjoying the air-conditioning-like shield and sipping a sip of iced happy water, it feels so refreshing.

But the nerves of several people were tense. In their minds, the image of a sixth-order, eighth-stage wetland crocodile in the quilt was imprinted on their minds all the time.

only……

The current situation seems a bit strange.

This is an S-class maze, right? But why didn’t I encounter any of the peak level 6 mazes that can be seen everywhere?

Instead, the monsters encountered are most likely level six, stage three or stage four?

There's something wrong with the intensity of this maze.

Mina and his friends encountered another group of fire elements.

Ansana activated the wind blade and harvested directly.

Mina felt increasingly puzzled as he watched the badge's score jump to twenty.

Could it be that I went to the wrong secret realm?
"How about we expand the scope of our exploration?"

Mina suggested.

The current maze is indeed much stronger than the one during the high-level assessment, and the density of monsters is also incomparable.

But for Mina and his team, there is really no challenge.

The monster they were all prepared to face was a sixth-order, seventh-stage, and eighth-stage monster.

They thought that once they entered the S-maze, they would be faced with a fierce attack rhythm like a wave, starting from the peak of the sixth level.

But that doesn’t seem to be the case.

The sixth-level, third-stage and fourth-stage monsters Kuleiya and Lucia can be easily dealt with.

One used his fists, the other used a great sword.

He simply used the Silver Physical Technique, using about four or five points of the results of the special training in the past few days, and crushed the opponent directly.

This S-level maze is too easy.

Not right.

Something is really wrong.

After smashing a giant flaming wolf into four pieces with one punch, Lucia looked at Mina.

Several people were a little amused.

Why do I feel like I was deceived by Sister Mel?

"No, maybe this is the outskirts."

Ansana forced an explanation, saying that she always felt that Sister Mel was such a steady and reliable sister, she would not lie to them.

"Let's take a look at the central area. Think about it, when we were in the wetlands, wasn't it easier outside? These monsters on the periphery may be prepared for those lone fifth-level peak monsters."

Mina and his companions quickly moved towards the core area.

The main reason is that the hunting efficiency here is just so-so, and the key is that these low-level materials cannot be sold for points.

The capacity of a backpack is limited.

There are only a few materials that can be brought back, so the correct solution is to try to hunt more high-level monsters.

In addition to hunting points, ordinary materials can also be sold from association merchants.

And generally speaking, the value of these materials is two to three times the hunting points. The higher the level, the greater the value of the materials. It is said that ninth-level materials can even be sold for six to seven times the points.

"Let's go and check the core area. If it doesn't work, we have to go to the next level."
-
"so hard."

Alardin secretly groaned, and Marion was also gritting his teeth to hold on.

This four-star flame maze is already so difficult, then the four-star thunder maze and the four-star grass maze must be even more abnormal...

Alardin shook his head and smiled bitterly, madly releasing the magic in his hands forward.

At this time, Marion had already activated his blood rage, and was fighting against the two level 6, stage 3 fire wolves, wielding the greatsword in his hand with great force.

But he carefully controlled the rhythm and fought and retreated.

He led the demon wolf back to the other side, away from the wolf pack further away.

It would be troublesome if other monsters were attracted here.

Finally, after torturing for an hour, the two were exhausted and killed another magic wolf after one of them ran away.

"Come on."

Marion said.

She could already sense the pack of demonic wolves approaching from the other side.

Alardin stuffed the crystal core of the fire wolf into his backpack.

Marion immediately pulled him and started running.

Until I ran for half an hour.

Just barely stopped.

The two men collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.

"The monsters here are a bit strong."

“It’s definitely better than the ones outside.”

Marion nodded. She could clearly feel the strain when fighting against the two magic wolves. Alardin's magic output was not as effective as she had imagined.

Alardin gulped down a large bottle of magic water, looked towards the core area and sighed.

If you want to leave the maze, you must find an exit near the core area before eight o'clock the next day.

"The density and strength of the monsters in the outer areas are so high, it's hard to imagine the strength of the core area."

Alardin shook his head and smiled bitterly. It's only the first day and the intensity has already been maxed out.

but……

If you want to reach level six, you have to grit your teeth.

At least I have to earn back the points from this ticket!

"Let's go," said Alardin.

No matter how difficult the maze is, you have to grope your way inside.

There are many people who have encountered the same situation as Alardin.

Some people were besieged by a group of powerful sixth-level, fourth-stage warriors as soon as they landed.

Those who are lucky will break through by force.

Those with bad luck...are still good men after eighteen years.

The dangers of the S-level maze are not exaggerating.

Not every peak fifth-level warrior has the combat power of Kusmamina.

Trying to break through to the sixth level is like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge.

Among a hundred peaks, how many can be successful?

Mina and his companions successfully entered the core area and found the exit.

Just go out here and you will return to the small square outside.

But today I can’t go down the maze anymore.

Of course, Mina and his companions didn’t have enough fun... no, they didn’t kill enough.

Okay, let’s be frank, it really feels good to kill.

It feels like slaughtering a pig.

Mi Xiaohu used the power of gems and crushed everyone below level three.

Lucia and Kuleiya's full-strength attack can directly kill the sixth-level, fifth-stage Flame Wolf.

Even with the strength of the sixth stage and sixth level, Ansana only needed to wave her hand, and the staff, robe, and ring would be activated at the same time, and the three super wind blades would condense into shape in a few breaths.

Complete the harvest with ease.

I was originally prepared to deal with the sixth-level, seventh-level and eighth-level mazes, but I found out, this is it?
What?
What do you ask Mina to do?
He is a life mage with five spells and four auxiliary skills. What can he do?

At most, you can put a shield on people, make some happy water, make some popcorn and watch fireworks.

You know what, when the fire demon exploded, the explosion was quite spectacular.

Slowly, Mina realized something was wrong.

The cute slime's condition is a bit strange, which may be because it has swallowed too many flame magic crystal cores.

There were actually some faint red lines on that aqua blue body.

After observing for a while, Mina felt a little confused.

Could this be the awakening of some fire talent?

Flame slime?
Or maybe he ate too much and developed fire resistance?

By the way, that "Digestion" skill seems to be quite useful.

When Mina checked the elemental egg of the little fire bird and the elemental stone placed together, he suddenly found that the concentration of flames of these two was higher.

And as those fire elemental monsters were hunted.

It was as if some fire energy was retained in the elemental stone, and then fed back to the little fire bird's eggs from the elemental stone.

The flame pattern on it became more obvious.

It should be about to hatch.

Mina was a little excited.

The monsters near the exit have been almost cleared.

I have to say, this four-star difficulty is really something.

A seven-segment fire demon and four six-segment fire demons guarded the exit tightly.

If it were a normal day, we would have to wait until night when there were more people and everyone would fight the boss together.

But Mina and his team were progressing too fast.

It's only ten o'clock in the morning and it's already here.

"Let me do it."

Ansana was very excited. Since she reached level five, using three legendary equipment at the same time was a common occurrence for her.

Directly opened the beyond visual range.

Three super wind blades whizzed past.

The seventh-level fire demon was seriously injured.

By the way, he also took away a six-stage fire demon.

Then, as if a hornet's nest had been disturbed, a bunch of level six monsters rushed over.

Mi Xiaohu was not afraid at all and rushed forward directly.

The frost blade shield condensed by the golden ice blade and the golden ice shield is invincible. Coupled with the power of the golden gem, it is a rhythm of harvesting.

The most important thing is that Mina's fireball shield is really useless. Most of the flames from the fire demon's attack were actually absorbed by the fireball shield.

As for physical damage, Heart of Plants and Shield of Thorns are used to deal with it.

Highlight the ability to withstand beatings.

Lucia Kureya rushed forward.

He easily caught the three six-stage fire demons that were charging at him.

Ansana's second attack is ready.

Three more compressed wind blades came, and two more fire demons were seriously injured.

Kuleya was damaged by two shots and was taken away directly.

Mina hadn't even finished his popcorn yet, but the four sixth-stage fire demons had become points and materials.

And that seven-segment fire demon is indeed very strong.

Ansana chopped his body into 3+4 parts, and then condensed a lower body with fire.

He rushed over with a rumble and punched Lucia's shield.

With bang-bang-bang sounds, the fire shield, ice shield, thorn shield and wind shield on it were all broken.

The attack hit Lucia's magic shield hard.

Magical ripples visible to the naked eye.

Lucia's face turned pale, and she had obviously underestimated the terrifying power of the seventh stage.

If it weren't for Ansana's sneak attack, the seven-stage monster in its prime would have been really difficult to fight.

Subconsciously, he reached for his waist and drank a bottle of golden water to calm himself.

But the next moment, Mina raised his hand and a "Golden Water Shield" was put on Lucia.

Lucia was stunned, and the magic power she consumed quickly increased.

"This is?"

Lucia blinked. Could this be Mina's new magic?

The fire demon attacked again, but Ansana's wind blade was faster.

The third round of wind blade took it away directly.

Killing the seventh level is so simple and easy.

Once the five top-level Fire Demons died, the mid- to high-level Fire Demons instantly lost their backbone and were about to scatter, but these were all points.

Mina waved his hand and gave chase.

after an hour.

Mi Xiaohu pressed the last fire demon to the ground and rubbed it. Kuleiya brought back the magic crystal.

At the same time, the emblems of the two faithfully recorded the points.

A seven-section bet with 18 points.

A six-segment 12-point
After this battle.

Mina's points directly reached 213 points.

Kuleya's finishing touches were not as fast as the two men and the fox's, and they only got 196 points in half a day.

With these scores, the two of them are already strong enough to make it into the top 50.

"Not bad, some results."

The monsters near the exit were cleared out, but Mina's team did not stop immediately and quickly headed towards the entrance to the second floor.

Here, they saw more monsters.

Especially the two seventh-stage fire wolves, there is still some pressure.

but.

It is pressure and also a challenge.

Mensaro was right. If you want to overcome the enemy and reach the sixth step, you must face danger.

Two seven-segment monsters and seven six-segment monsters, this number is just the limit for Ansana and her group.

What? Why are you asking Mina?

Of course, it is to give Lucia a golden water shield.

Can't you see that this girl is enjoying the fight?

Do you know how great it is for a mage to have no bladder pressure?

This battle took a bit more time.

It took two full hours to wipe out all the fire wolves.

As a result, Mi Xiaohu, Lucia, and Kuleiya all suffered some minor injuries.

Ansana also became sluggish. The burden of using three legendary equipment at the same time was still a bit too much.

The three girls were sitting on the ground, and Mi Xiaohu was just lying there, looking listless.

The cute slime was curiously picking up delicious food on the battlefield.

It seems that today's experience has opened up a special recipe for Mengmeng.

Mina handed out the dragon crystal burgers and honey water that he had prepared in advance to his friends.

Quickly restore the physical strength of several people.

Kuleiya asked for a shadow potion.

She gulped it down, and like a stimulant, Kuleiya's face turned visibly red.

Pulling Mi Xiaohu who had just climbed up, he quickly picked up resources and harvested the battlefield.

It's getting late now, and other practitioners may arrive here at any time.

The crystal core materials all over the ground are precious resources, so don't create unnecessary trouble.

Fortunately, nothing bloody happened.

With the help of Slime Mengmeng, the man and his two magical pets cleaned up the battlefield thoroughly.

Lucia glanced at the passage that was right in front of her.

Entering it will lead to the lower level.

"Want to go?"

Everyone looked at Mina.

Although he did not take any shots today, Mina is still the core of the team.

"It's all here, go down and have a look."

Mina said.

But you still have to be prepared for anything that could go wrong.

After two seven-stage battles, Mina no longer felt as relaxed as he did in the morning.

What Sister Mel said makes sense. This S-level secret realm is indeed quite difficult.

If the first level is like this, what kind of monsters will we encounter on the second level?

Anyway, Mina is ready to run away if he can't win.

If it doesn't work, just send Mi Xiaohu out to explore the way.

Mi Xiaohu: "???"

Several people had already touched the door to the passage, but were turned away.

Mina was a little stunned.

Ansana quickly flipped through the information and found a line of small words.

Only those who rank within the top 30 on the standings can explore the second level of the maze.

Mina was relieved, it should be a protection rule.

"Well, let's go back."

The core area of the first floor had been cleared by Mina and his team, and a total of three seventh-level bosses were defeated.

There is no challenge, and the efficiency of the low-level segments is low, mainly because the backpack is already full.

I might as well go back and sort it out and see what good things I can buy with these points that I can't buy outside.

However, as luck would have it, Mina and his companions encountered several powerful Overwatch members.

A group of three people came over using Shadow Step to see if they could steal a few high-level items.

But when I saw this, I was shocked. The place was in a mess.

There are no living monsters.

"You are?"

They were all Overwatch members from local knight groups. They didn't know Mina, but they felt that the wizard in gorgeous equipment and the wizard in blue robe looked familiar.

"We are new here, come and take a look."

Mina said, pointing to his emblem, the Silver Hand.

"Ah, it's the people from the Silver Hand."

The leading Overwatch Blade nodded, his expression relaxed a little.

Among the many knightly orders, the most reassuring ones are the Silver Dawn and the Silver Hand. In fact, the guys in the Amber Shadow are not bad either, but they deserve a beating.

"This is your first time here."

Seeing how young Mina was, the people from Overwatch also laughed and said, "You can't go down to the second floor unless you are in the top 30. Don't go down lightly. The danger over there is beyond your imagination. By the way, you came early. Did you see who solved the monster here?"

Mina hugged Mi Xiaohu and shook her head: "It wasn't me, I didn't do it."

Mi Xiaohu pointed at himself: It’s me, it’s me.

Overwatch laughed. This boy really knew how to joke, and that little jewel fox was also very interesting.

But think about it, how could it be them? They are all so young, not even twenty years old. They must be newcomers favored by the Grand Duke of Silver.

It turns out that the Duke of Silver still has resources.

"You're a newcomer, don't run around here, it's very dangerous. This is the core secret area of the four-star maze. There are at least two seventh-level monsters. It will be difficult to escape if you encounter them. If you want to leave, it's best to wait until night when there are more people there before going to the exit."

Peroros was a very patient Watch Knight and gave Mina some advice from a senior.

As a return gift, Mina shared several bottles of golden water and golden bread before leaving.

"He's actually a double gold living mage."

Looking at the backs of Mina and others as they left, Peroros sighed, no wonder he was sent in by the Silver Duke at such a young age.

Really outstanding qualifications.

"The Silver Hand is indeed full of geniuses. Let's not think about it anymore. This might be the work of Zherian. Let's go to the next level. We still have a chance to enter today..."

"Ansana!! Boss, I remember now, that fully equipped mage is Ansana!"

Peroros, "Ah? The little princess from the West! Why is she here?"
-
“There are so many good people in this world.”

Mina sighed.

Lucia nodded. In fact, except for a few knightly orders that were not upright at the top and crooked at the bottom, the other ten knightly orders were all quite easy to get along with.

As expected, there are quite a few experienced people at the exit.

However, everyone had confused looks in their eyes, as if they had no idea of the current situation.

He looked like he was searching everywhere, as if the question of where all the monsters had gone was written on his face.

"Mina."

A familiar voice sounded. I turned around and saw that it was the Silver Hand seniors I met yesterday, Alardin and Marion.

The senior life mage was exhausted both physically and mentally, but seeing Mina and the others alive, he felt quite refreshed and happy.

Marion, who was standing by, was covered in wounds. "The supplies are gone."

Marion was somewhat helpless.
Mina handed over his bread without saying a word.

"you……"

Marion was stunned, and Mina smiled and said, "We are leaving now. These extra breads will help you recover your strength."

Marion nodded, and the taciturn girl quickly took the bread and stuffed it into her mouth.

Alardin also hurried to thank him.

The intensity of this training was unexpectedly high. It seems that I need to prepare more supplies for the next four-star training.

It is indeed dangerous, but the rewards are indeed great.

A full twenty hunting points!
It won’t take more than a few days to get into the top 100, and you might even make back your investment in a week.

Alardin looked at Mina and his group disappearing at the exit, and wondered if they could accumulate ten points... If not, he would just give them a ride next time.

"Come out, come out!"

Mina stretched and thought that the air outside was indeed better!
The inside of the maze was like an oven. Even with the temperature regulation of the Fireball Shield and the Frost Blade Shield, it was still stuffy.

Mina and Mi Xiaohu went to check the list immediately, but found that Mina and Kuleya's names were not on the list from beginning to end.

"Oh, yes, it will be refreshed at 8pm."

Then let's come back tonight.

Mina picked up the little fox, put a slime hat on his head, and swaggered to find the association merchant.

The materials in such a large backpack can be exchanged for a lot of points.

I heard that there are many potions sold here that are not available outside, some of which can strengthen the body, some can improve fire talent, and some can reduce the temperature of ice magic.

There are even shadow potions that even Issara covets.

Mina decided to see what delicious drink there was that could attract so many strong people to come and train.

If possible, he could purchase more... ahem, he just wanted to taste the potions.

Isn’t it, Mengmeng?

"Hmmmmmm~"
