"Aren't they actually friends?"
Ailei asked somewhat surprised.
"To improve the protection, the holders of the same protection must use it to fight each other. In other words, if she wants to become stronger, she will have to assassinate me one day. Extra emotions will not help her to attack me."
"You actually considered this much for the other person!!! This definitely counts as a friend, right???"
Ai Lei complained speechlessly, this guy is too nice!
"No, I'm actually thinking about myself. I don't have any extra emotions, and I won't hesitate when I take action."
Tisser shook her head and started to defend herself.
"But you are much stronger than her, right? According to what you said before, a powerful guardian lord in this world cannot become stronger by killing a weak guardian lord, so she is not on your enemy list at all, right?"
Ai Lei asked subconsciously.
Tisser's face suddenly turned slightly red and she fell silent.
In fact, the real situation is just as Ai Lei said. She did not regard the other party as her enemy.
However, due to the characteristics of the assassin's protection, she is not very good at being said to be considerate of others... Because of this kind of personality, she is also not suitable for being an assassin. It is not an exaggeration to say that this kind of personality is her weakness as an assassin.
"Okay, Elle, some things are better left unsaid. Saying them out loud may make people feel awkward, you know? Sorry, Tisser, Elle is a straightforward person. She is the type who speaks her mind."
Moyin spoke up to smooth things over.
"It's okay... I don't mind this kind of thing that much."
Tisser shook her head to indicate that she need not worry about herself.
As they were talking, several more teams of adventurers arrived at the assembly point. The leader of the caravan counted the people, and after confirming that all the adventurer teams that were going to take on the mission were present, the caravan set off and left the city.
Less than half an hour after leaving the city, the caravan stopped for a while, and then Moyin heard the caravan leader Elvik speaking with some magical device with a sound amplification effect.
"We are about to enter the Fire Moon Plain. The Temira ants will hide in the grass and attack the caravan. Please kill all the Temira ants that approach the caravan."
"Oh! Don't worry, boss. We have accepted the mission and we have to do it."
The rugged-looking adventurer carrying a big sword said with a laugh.
Ai Lei was appreciating the scenery in the distance with great interest - the half-human-high orange grass undulated like waves in the wind, a road separated it and spread towards the distance like a long dragon, and the refreshing grass fragrance that invigorated people was constantly brought by the breeze. It seemed that this was the reason why this place was called the Fire Moon Plain.
"It's so beautiful here. I want to come camping here."
Elle said expectantly.
"After this mission is over, shall we invite Al and the others to come here and camp and have some fun?"
Moyin suggested.
"It's better not to. The aroma of food will attract endless streams of Temira ants to attack us. Unless you want to cook and fight all day long, it's not recommended to camp here."
Tisser on the side spoke up to remind her.
"Won't insect repellent powder or something like that work?"
Moyin asked curiously.
"The insect repellent powder sold in stores has little effect on Temira ants. They just won't eat the insect repellent powder, but they are not afraid of the smell of the insect repellent powder, so no one will camp here."
"That's it, forget it."
Moyin shrugged, but he didn't really give up in his heart.
After poaching the divine power that he had set his eyes on, he could just ask Baizhi to arrange a queen spider monster to come and clean up the area, letting a large number of spider monsters completely hunt down all the Temira ants. Then he could bring Ailei, Baizhi and the others to camp here.
After all, the scenery here is really nice, and it has a kind of beauty that can make people relax.
"keep going."
After instructing the adventurers to be vigilant, the leader Elvic gave orders again, and the caravan moved forward slowly, with the adventurers guarding both sides of the truck.
"Haa ...
Ishtar said a little depressed.
"Our real reward is a divine power. Just bear with the pain in the early stages. We will accompany you to plunder the Demon King's treasure later."
Moyin spoke to comfort Ishtar.
"It's a deal! By the way, all the treasures of the devil are mine, right? You don't want to see it and have a share, do you?"
Ishtar asked, somewhat worriedly.
"I'll give it all to you. I'm not that interested in gems or anything like that."
Moyin waved his hand. He could use faith points to create all kinds of gems out of thin air, so why would he need to snatch gems from Ishtar?
The reason why he planned to find trouble with the Demon King was just to make Elle's adventurer team go down in the history of this world and let the people of this world remember Elle's name, so he planned to defeat the Demon King.
Otherwise, if we really compare wealth, the Demon King cannot compare to Moyin.
After entering the Fire Moon Plain, a harsh sound like the friction of rough objects could be heard all around.
Then Moyin saw several ants that were orange-brown in color, about the size of wild boars, and had a pair of front jaws like large scissors crawling out of the grass quickly and crawling towards Tisser.
"It's really ugly, something like this hidden beneath something so beautiful."
Ishtar raised her hand, drew her bow, and shot three arrows at once. Immediately, several Temira ants were hit in the heads by the arrows and exploded on the spot.
"Good skill!"
The adventurers around praised with bright eyes, Ishtar's scattering skills were obviously not a skill that a D-level adventurer could possess. If there were a strong adventurer in the commission, they would not need to do anything at all.
Chapter 1137 The Assassin in an Awkward Situation
Although Ishtar could not understand what the adventurers were shouting, she guessed from their expressions that it was a compliment to her. She immediately became very happy and drew out her arrows again, shooting the Temira ants that the nearby adventurers were supposed to have dealt with.
"Moyin, can you remind Miss Ishtar that this mission will probably take two to three days. If she continues like this, she may lose her combat effectiveness in the middle due to the consumption of arrows."
Tisser asked for help, after all, she and Ishtar did not speak the same language, and could only communicate through silent silver.
"Ishtar, remember to consider your arrow reserves, okay?"
"Tsk... this is really troublesome. If I use the Sky Bow Maana, I can just use magic power to form arrows."
Ishtar frowned, but stopped clearing the distant Temira ants.
In the past, when she didn't need to hide her strength, she would directly use magic power to form arrows to attack. With her magic power, she could easily fire tens of thousands of arrows, and naturally there was no need to worry about ammunition consumption. But now, in order not to scare the gods of this world, she can only use this little broken bow.
Although she is not unable to use magic power to form arrows for attacking now, the ordinary iron bow in her hand cannot withstand the power of the arrows formed by magic power. The bow will probably break after one shot. Moreover, for the sake of the divine power that Moyin has set his eyes on, she cannot directly use magic power to form arrows now, so she still has to save arrows.
Seeing that Ishtar was no longer helping with the supporting shooting, the other adventurers had no objections. After all, in order to improve the protection, they had to kill powerful protection holders. Killing these small fry, the Temira Ant, would not bring any benefits.
Therefore, it is a favor for Ishtar to help them solve some problems, and it is her duty not to help them. There is nothing to complain about.
The caravan moved forward slowly while killing the Temira ants that appeared.
A few hours later, as more and more dead bodies of the Temira ants piled up on the side of the road, the face of the leader Elvik gradually became a little ugly.
"It seems that the caravan's luck is not that good. Judging from the number of ants, the Temira ants should have evolved into an ant king this year."
Looking at the tired expressions on the faces of the adventurers around him, Tisser said with a serious expression.
"Ant King? Is there anything special about him?"
Ai Lei asked curiously. This level of fighting was nothing to her. After all, she was the goddess of the underworld with A-level strength. Even if the demon king of this world came to compete with her in strength, he would be blown up by her with one punch. These ordinary Temira ants could not even be considered warm-up exercises for her.
"The physique of the Temira ant king is five times that of ordinary Temira ants. It also possesses basic intelligence and is cunning by nature. When besieging humans, it will first command ordinary Temira ants to consume the opponent's strength. The Fire Moon Plain is the home nest of the Temira ants. Normally, the Temira ants in one area would not kill so many and still continue to come. We have encountered a tide of ants condensed by the Temira ant king."
"The size of the ant tide also depends on the ability of the Temira Ant King. The more Temira ants gather, the more food we need to provide. Otherwise, the Temira ants will starve to death during the march. Generally, Temira ants can live for three days after they are full. As long as they can get enough food within three days, the size of the ant tide will continue to expand. If an ant tide of more than 10,000 is formed, we will be in some danger."
Tisser said seriously that even if an individual is powerful, he can be killed by the human wave tactics before achieving qualitative change. No matter whether it is a warrior or a magician, there will be a time when their physical strength or magic power is exhausted. And she is an assassin, suitable for targeting single enemies. When encountering this kind of group battle, her actual role may be similar to that of a B-level magician.
"I'm sure you've all noticed that we're not very lucky. We might have encountered an ant tide. I know this is really hard work, so after the commission is over, we will double the reward to thank you."
The voice that Elvik had spread through the magic device came again, and the morale that had previously dropped due to the long-term continuous fighting suddenly rose to the extreme again in the face of the reward.
"Next, please have the team leaders report their numbers in turn, and then take turns guarding the outside of the caravan according to the odd and even numbers. Please replenish your energy as much as possible during the rest time. If the defense line feels pressured, please send a request for help in advance. I will arrange for my own guards to take over for a period of time."
Seeing that the morale had stabilized, Elvik gave the command in an orderly manner.
The captain of the adventurer team immediately counted the numbers in turn according to Elvik's instructions, and Ellie got the number 11.
In this situation, Tisser's descendant was in an awkward situation. As an assassin, she had no teammates. She had been casually hanging around other teams hunting Temira ants, but this team was immediately excluded by the nearby teams, and she could only report the number 23 herself.
Team 24, which was close to her, was immediately unhappy and protested to Elvik. After all, Tisser only had one descendant, who was a single assassin. They would definitely not be able to defend the area they were assigned to. The caravan's guards could not continue to assist them, and in the end the pressure of defense would still fall on them. There were still two days left for this commission, and a little bit of physical strength might cause his team members to lose their precious lives.
Elvik also had a headache. He never expected that he would have the bad luck to encounter an ant tide when he went out this time. And the profession of assassin was indeed of little help in guarding. Only low-level and weak assassins would not take the killing mission and take the low-paid caravan guarding mission. So he could basically judge the strength of Tisser's juniors.
"Boss, let her come to our side to assist in defense. We are not struggling too much."
Moyin shouted to Elvik.
"Oh, please. I'll give some arrows to the excellent archer in your team. At the same time, I'll give your team three times the mission reward after the commission is completed."
Hearing Moyin's words, Elvik's eyes suddenly lit up. The strength that Ishtar showed in the early stage was indeed excellent. Although he didn't know why she accepted such a low-level task as caravan escort, her strength should be no less than that of a B-level adventurer. It shouldn't be a big problem for such a long-range person to lead an assassin.
And leaving Ishtar aside, Moyin and his companions were indeed in the best condition among those present. The clothes of the others had already been soaked with sweat from several hours of fighting, but Moyin and his companions had not even broken a sweat, and it was obvious that they still had plenty of physical strength.
"I'm sorry, Miss Tisser, to trouble you and everyone again. My name is Vinita."
Tisser's junior ran over and said apologetically, while Team No. 12, which was originally nearby, exchanged positions with Vinita in a depressed manner.
Chapter 1138: Conflict between Protection and Humans
It's not without reason that Team 12 dislikes Vinita.
After all, if they couldn't hold on, Team Elle could still lend a helping hand. But after switching positions with Vinita, their companions became teammates of the same caliber, so they basically couldn't expect any help.
It can be said that Vinita's Assassin's Divine Protection did nothing in just one day. Just because of holding this Assassin's Divine Protection, she offended the members of two adventurer teams.
"Thank you, Moyin."
Tissir opened her mouth to thank Moyin. With her personality, she was naturally embarrassed to shout at the caravan leader. Moreover, as a member of the team, it was not easy for her to make a decision directly on this matter. She could only go to Moyin to discuss it. Now Moyin directly did what she wanted to do for her, and she once again felt that she had joined a good team.
