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

Chapter 180 Sir, Times Have Changed (6k~)

Three floors, maze.

"pressure."

The second prince frowned.

The team had just been besieged by a group of eighth-level monsters and was almost wiped out.

Fortunately, several Sword of Ashes masters held on, otherwise there would definitely be casualties.

Even so, it's not pleasant at all.

"Take a break."

The second prince shook his head.

Richard sat on the ground eating bread to restore his strength, while Doyle and Caesar didn't even have the strength to stand up.

Lie directly on the ground.

Yesterday, the Samsung Thunder's pressure on the third floor was not that great.

The intensity of today's three levels of training directly reached six stars.

And this is just the periphery. The deeper you go into the core area, the more terrifying the monsters are. Now, we feel the tremendous pressure even before we reach the core area.

The ultimate destination of their trip is the core area.

They don’t understand why they have to get there.

But this was the Second Prince's order and they had to carry it out.

The pressure on Caesar was just too great.

Originally, I thought that during the training, he could withstand the middle and high stages of the sixth level, and these three levels of the sixth peak, he could more or less withstand it.

But I never expected that I couldn't bear it at all.

At the peak of the sixth level, any random attack could seriously injure him.

If it weren't for the second prince's care, Caesar would have been dead by now in a joint attack like the one just now.

Until now, Caesar finally saw what a real S-level maze is.

And this is the battlefield of the sixth-level strongmen.

It can be stronger!

Caesar gritted his teeth.

He would definitely follow the Second Prince's footsteps, catch up, and surpass Mina!
The second prince suddenly frowned.

Seems to sense something is wrong.

His body flashed and then disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was already several dozen meters away.

After a few ups and downs, they arrived at a cliff.

From this angle, their temporary camp was vaguely visible, and it was somewhere not far from their camp.

A terrifying beast was lurking, and it seemed that it could deal the final blow to the people in the camp at any time.

It was a giant frost python of the sixth stage and ninth level.

Even he couldn't hunt a monster of this level alone.

If he came by himself, then everything would be easy. It would be impossible for this thing to hurt him.

But he still has a team.

"try it?"

The second prince narrowed his eyes.

We can stimulate Caesar's potential a little more, even if it means sacrificing a few masters of the Sword of Ashes, which is completely acceptable.

The second prince made up his mind to go back and organize the battle.

But the warning signs in my mind are still ringing and alerting me.

It seems that there is some great danger near him.
The second prince frowned, looking at the silent sixth-level, ninth-stage monster.

Shouldn't.

still got more.

After a few ups and downs, they found several nine-segment giant pythons nearby.

Can this thing live in groups?

Not right.

Soon, the second prince found the source of the problem. It was a human figure who seemed to be fighting with two nine-segment giant pythons.

It turned out to be Isara of the Silver Hand.

"interesting."

The second prince seemed to have thought of something, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but the next moment his expression suddenly changed and he left.

Isara, who was in the fight, suddenly looked up in the direction where the second prince had just stood. Why did she feel like someone was looking at her?

Forget it, let’s continue to deal with these two big things.

After a few jumps, the second prince had already arrived several kilometers away and his eyes suddenly became excited.

I actually met her here!
This is a good opportunity.

Without her, Luskaniah would have one less helper.

If we take action in this elemental maze, the people in the royal capital won't even know about it.

But it’s better to be safe and divert the trouble away.

A few ninth-level ones are not enough, these few seem to want to cause trouble for Issara?
well.

It seems like we can get another monster here.

The second prince quickly left.

After a while, a horrific roar shook the woods.

Isara frowned.

Is there an angry monster in the depths?

Isara gritted his teeth. The two in front of him had been almost consumed, so he took the crystal core and quickly dealt with them. This ninth-level ice crystal core could be used to make a lot of good things when he went out to find Mel.

Isara pressed his wrist down, the shadow spread, and attacked!
"Hoohoho!"

"Hoohoho!"

The Frost Python let out a terrifying roar and spurted out an icy breath.

Isara was about to move and perform instant step, but at this moment her body suddenly froze.

At some point, her feet had been frozen.

what happened?

At this moment, the two nine-segment frost breaths were approaching.

Issara swung his dagger and a dark shadow curtain enveloped his body to protect him.

But in another direction, a frost snake that was even more terrifying than the icy breath rushed towards Isara at an extremely fast speed.

The second prince in the distance smiled.

He left in a flash.

Just a few breaths after he left, a group of nine-segment frost pythons rushed over, seemingly smelling the scent and sensing the energy as they rushed towards Isara.

"gone."

The second prince was in a good mood when he returned to the temporary camp.

"We saw a ninth-stage monster over there, alone, in the other direction. We should approach carefully and try to capture it. Doyle, Caesar, you guys have to be careful this time. Ninth-stage monsters are very difficult. Saruna, you mages should assist them..."

Even Issara might not survive such a siege.

Isara was mad with blood, and was seriously injured, but her body seemed to be restrained, and the space around her seemed to be condensed, making it impossible for her to escape into the shadows.

She knew that this was the blocking skill of the almost legendary snake.

"Frost Shackles"

If her instant movement was the complete version, she wouldn't be afraid of this kind of blockade.

It's just a pity...

Isara gritted her teeth.

You can only fight your way out.

But there are more and more nine-segment pythons nearby.

Otherwise, they would all be scrambling to eat her first.

I'm afraid she'd be dead if all these things attacked her together.

We must find a way, find a way!
Issara gritted his teeth, shadow erupted?

Forcefully activate the instant step?

If that happens, all the recent nutrition will be in vain. I'm afraid that after I go out, my body may be in worse condition than when I first learned the instant step.

But, there is no other way!
His body swayed, and a dark shadow suddenly erupted.

But the next moment, the nine-segmented frost snake suddenly let out a sharp scream.

The thirty or so frost pythons around seemed to have received some orders.

Almost subconsciously, all the frost pythons opened their mouths and exhaled a breath of frost that instantly suppressed the shadow that erupted from Issara, and then sprayed towards Issara with the force of thunder.

If he was hit by this, even Meilai, who specialized in ice, would probably die here.

Isara's eyes widened.

Move! Move!!! Move!!! Move!!!!!!!!!
All the energy in Isara's body bombarded the frost shackles that bound her.

As long as she can release the flash step...but.

After all, the power that is close to legendary cannot be unlocked in a short time.

The frost shackles were getting tighter and tighter, and were even showing a tendency to restrict her movements.

More than thirty icy breaths are approaching.

it's too late
Isara's eyes suddenly blurred.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

And then another flower.

She was already several dozen meters away.

Isara: “You…”

"Hold on, it's really annoying. I'm tracking that guy and he's fine and wants to save you. It's so annoying. Damn, that snake is so fast. It's slipping away. Hey, don't struggle. It's hard to lead people with Flash. Be honest."

Swish.

The two figures disappeared again.
-
"So, now that your seeds are entangled, you can also use this power comparable to the sixth level?"

"Squeaky~"

That's the theory.

Outlying woodland.

Mina and his friends sat around the campfire, eating hamburgers and drinking hot honey water.

On Lucia's side, she still had a bottle of iced happy water.

This icy and snowy weather paired with a bottle of iced happy water, well, there's nothing wrong with that.

After Mi Xiaohu's body reached the sixth level, the characteristics of some of his golden skills were fully utilized.

This is also related to the further development of the original tail.

The original entanglement power of "Seed Entanglement" was already very good, but after combining with the Heart of Plants, it actually added the physical strength of Mi Xiaohu.

To be precise, the strength of this power is based on the tail of the original gem. If the power of the gem is unlocked, this power will be even stronger.

Mina pinched his chin, and some ideas gradually took shape.

However, further experiments are needed.

"Ansana."

Mina looked at Miss Paopao, the current equipment mage.

"Was it stressful to make that emergency correction to the ballistic trajectory just now?"

Ansana's mouth is like a hamster, chewing and chewing.

"It's not big, just wave the staff around."

It's just controlling the wind direction of a few breeze shields. It's very simple.

“Isn’t that enough?”

Mina smiled happily.

"Wait till we finish lunch, then we'll try out a new tactic."

Mina quickly stuffed a few pieces of bread.

Then I started to fiddle with the vitality water.

What we need to do now is to delay the explosion time, and then make a small design change, add a trigger or something, such as an impact explosion or something, of course, this can be discussed later, the main thing is the delay.

Of course, if you want to extend the detonation time, the most effective way is to reduce the vitality of star water.

As long as the vitality is reduced a little bit, the detonation time can be well controlled.

But vitality is also positively correlated with the power of the explosion.

If we rashly reduce the vitality of the star water, it might not be able to seriously injure even a sixth-level, sixth-stage frost monster with one shot. This is a problem.

"Mina, how about making a bigger dragon crystal burger?"

Lucia suddenly asked.

If you make a bigger burger, for example, triple the amount, then the waiting time can be reduced by three times!
"Eh?"

Mina's eyes lit up, yes!

Bigger!
Since Star Water can shrink and achieve various effects, why can't it be enlarged? !

Then wouldn’t it be better to make a larger size of Vitality Star Water with a larger capacity? !

Mina's eyes lit up!
He has recently learned the reverse circuit!

Xixi was handed over to Mi Xiaohu and him before!
I had previously wanted to study temperature reversal and make something like cold fire, but failed.

Now, isn’t it the same when used to magnify?

It just takes a little trying.

A double version of Star Vitality Water was made.

300ml of normal vitality water has only 18 times the effect of golden water.

Now the double capacity is 600ml, and the effect is 36 times that of normal golden water returning to blue.

Mina put his hands on his hips. He had thought that this thing would take up much space in the backpack, and it was far less than the 300ml one, so he didn't think about it.

Now that I’m at level six, it’s getting easier to do.

It’s easy to make a diploid star water.

Wait, there is still energy to spare.

Mina gritted his teeth and made a large 900ml jar of triploid star water.

Lucia looked at Mina's hugeness with some disgust.

If you drink this stuff in one gulp, it will take a long time, which is far less practical than drinking three mini-suits in one gulp and getting three buffs to quickly restore mana.

The magic power of the triploid star water is 54 times that of ordinary golden water. Even if the vitality is slightly reduced, the detonation time of the fire bottle can be extended to about one minute.

But the effect is reduced to 42-45 times that of golden water.

But for now, a minute is not necessary, thirty seconds is enough. This way, the explosive power will not be lost too much, and it will be almost the same as a bright light.

With this power, a sixth-stage frost monster can be easily killed in one second.

The seventh-stage frost monster also has a good killing effect. Two simultaneous attacks can barely solve it. It depends on the monster. Three are a sure thing.

As for the eight sections, six are enough.

After eating and drinking, the few people came over to Mina to watch, and saw at a glance that Mina was mass-producing large-sized vitality water.

"This thing doesn't fit easily into a backpack."

"This is for Xiaohu." Mina looked at Mi Xiaohu.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak?" Mi Xiaohu pointed at himself.

what?
Half an hour later, everything was ready.

The Mi Xiaohu and Ansana took off.

The little fox is extremely excited now.

She looked towards the hundreds of monsters in the forest ahead.

Ansana, who was standing by, drank a few bottles of mental potions, then waved her staff to lock onto dozens of targets.

Mi Xiaohu took a deep breath. All she had to do was throw out all the small fire bottles within half a minute.

This is a challenge for her.

Mi Xiaohu feels that he has confidence!

With Mina giving that fire.

One after another, Mi Xiaohu wrapped the energy bottles with seeds and threw them out.

And Ansana accurately controlled the position and adjusted the trajectory in time.

Even some monsters that were frightened and fled because of hearing the explosion in advance could be locked by her.

A minute later, the woodland was ablaze.

Two minutes later, the Little Fox took off again, fully loaded with firepower.

ignition.

Fire!

Boom boom boom!
Fire!

Boom boom boom!
The coordination among the few people was a little unfamiliar. After eighteen minutes, a forest was completely cleared. The last nine-stage monster and a group of eight-stage monsters were directly defeated by Lucia with two nine-stage lights.

Perfect solution.

Mi Xiaohu was so excited that he could hardly control himself.

Rush down and start picking up crystal cores.

Ansana gave coordinates to one person and one fox, maximizing efficiency.

Mina looked at his team with satisfaction, and all members were mobilized.

I feel that this kind of cooperation mode is the correct way for the Mina team.

Look, in less than half an hour, a forest was cleared, right?
Forty thousand points.

It smells really good.

And...Mina feels that as long as the cooperation is good and the process is slightly optimized, he can use the seeds to mount it after he finishes his work.

Can a forest be cleared in twenty minutes?

The fear of insufficient firepower has been cured...half.
-
eight pm.

Richard and his companions appeared in the small square.

Caesar's temperament at this time was completely different.

Especially when looking at other fifth-level practitioners, there is a feeling of looking down on them.

He is already a man who has fought against the ninth level, although he was assisted by many teammates and the time... was relatively short. It is a completely different feeling to have fought against the strongest monster below the legendary level and not have fought against it at all.

He could definitely feel himself getting stronger.

Nine dans!

Really strong!

As someone who can take part in killing the ninth dan, I will definitely be getting closer and closer to Mina.

Richard looked at Caesar with a smile on his face, but he was also slightly worried.

The second prince just smiled faintly.

Look at the rankings.

"Come out, come out!"

The standings points are out.

Mina is still in first place, and Kuleiya is still in second place. The rankings of these two are quite stable, even if they start now and stay at home until ten days later.

It is still impossible for anyone to surpass their points.

But they still went today.

And also got quite good results.

"Oh my god, it's 18000 points. It's even more."

"It's 18,000. That's amazing. Kureya is also amazing, reaching 9,000."

"Wait, there's something wrong with Mina's points, what's 18,000? Count them carefully!"

[Mina, ranked first, hunting points 180243]

"You call this eighteen thousand?"

"This is 180,000 points, okay!!!"

"With 180,000 hunting points, this is a sure win for the third floor, right?"

"What should we do with the ninth-level monster? I heard there are ninth-level monsters on the third floor."

"With this much points, I'm afraid I can even defeat the ninth-level monsters!"

"How is this possible? That's a ninth-level monster."

Caesar stared at the scoreboard in a daze.

It seemed as if I heard the sound of something breaking.

Richard's eyes widened.

Their entire team, including the materials, combined over the past few days is not enough to get that many points!

And this Mina, he earned so many hunting points in just one day.

How many monsters have been killed!!!
How many material points did they get!

How could this Mina be so powerful?

Could it be that he has grown into the second Mel?
The second prince closed his eyes.

Just after dealing with Issara, Mina comes.

Endless.
-
"Catherine, you..."

"Hey, hey, I still like your rebellious look."

In Mina Cottage, Catherine sat on the table with her arms folded across her chest, her legs crossed, her black stockings hooked through her shoes, revealing the heels of her black stockings.

She looked at Isara teasingly.

Isara looked extremely weak. The final outburst had left her severely injured. The shadow in her body was surging, but she managed to suppress it.

Mel has been notified and is on the way. Catherine just took a look at Mina's list.

The news of the 180,000 hunting points was given directly to the Grand Duke.

Anyway, it depends on whether you, Grand Duke, can come up with the 300,000 silver points.

All Isara wanted now was to have a good night's sleep and recover her strength.

But this woman Catherine refused, and the secret shop exchanged a potion of unknown brand for her and asked her for 50,000 points.

If you use her points to exchange, you still need to ask her for points.

She didn't know the original price of the potion, and she didn't know how hard it was for Catherine, an assassin, to accumulate points.

Isara closed her eyes.

But he was interrupted by Catherine.

The arcane missile hit her shoulder, and Isara opened her eyes in pain.

"Don't sleep. I'm afraid Mel will come and misunderstand."

"And what if Mina comes back? What if my good sister sees me dying in front of you and blames me? Do I have to run away and then watch my good brother find you here and kill you?"

Catherine kept pressing and Isara looked outside helplessly. Her mind was now groggy and she could not think of anything except urging Mina to come back quickly.

Damn, I don't have the chance anymore.

Otherwise, I will wait for Mel to come and take Mel to find the ruler snake, kill it and use the crystal core to make soup.

The door was pushed open with a bang, and a small figure rushed in.

"I told you that your instant step is unreliable and someone must have tampered with it. Why do you have to learn this?... Damn it, why are you here too!"

Mel raised his hand and shot out an ice spear. This was a completely subconscious stress response.

An arcane shield suddenly appeared in front of Catherine and actually blocked Mel's ice spear.

Then Catherine flashed and hid behind Isara, "Calm down."

Mel was stunned. He looked at Isara who was seriously injured and almost died, and then looked at Catherine who was sitting on the table with her feet up, looking like she wanted Isara to step on her.

Mel seems a little weird, what's going on?

Isara sighed.

"Don't worry about this man for now, make me some medicine first, he's dying."

Mel glanced at Catherine warily, but still approached carefully, pulled Isara to his side, and blocked her behind him. During this time, Catherine had been sitting on the sofa, flipping through the recipes that Mina had left for Lucia, and gnashing her teeth with jealousy.

Mel saw that Catherine was fine, so he focused on checking Isara.

Then frowned.

"It's so dangerous, it will require a lot of materials. Fortunately, I still have some points here. I'll go to the secret store to buy some materials. Today is the frost maze, right? There should be a lot of frost materials. If I can get the crystal core of the frost ruler snake, I can solve it completely."

"Are the sequelae serious? I hope he won't become like Mist."

The wavy blonde shuddered as she thought of Mist's miserable appearance.

Mel shook his head: "It can't be more serious than his. Some of the power of the chains has been absorbed into the magic power. If you can't suppress it and get rid of it, your breakthrough will be slow in the future. As for the legendary level... Anyway, there is a problem with your learning of instant step. Even if this didn't happen, you can't reach the legendary level if the sequelae of this thing are not resolved. In addition, your shadow burst has damaged your foundation..."

"Let's find a way to clean up the icy power first. Tomorrow is the Shadow Labyrinth. The Second Prince and his men might take action. I have to be able to move first." Isara gritted his teeth. "As for the matter of instant movement and shadow injuries, I'll see if I can get the Grand Duke to help."

If it doesn’t work, just cry miserably!

Mel was speechless.

"I'll buy you the materials first. Really, your injury can't be cured without a four-star potion. The cost of the materials is tens of thousands. Remember to pay me back later."

"It's tens of thousands again."

Isara sighed, "You really think I'm Mina? One day's hunting points are hundreds of thousands."

Meier's ears twitched and he turned back in surprise: "How much?"
