This time, I won't be the devil.

For a high-value employee like Wright, he must be saved if possible, so Frey took out a bottle of Izanami from his waist bag.

Wright is now suffering from a continuous mental attack because of the possession of the vengeful spirit. If he can be made to fall into hallucination first, it will help Shilo buy time to purify the vengeful spirit.

After Frey explained the effects of Izanami, the remaining four regained hope.

But Wright, who had been possessed by the evil spirit, naturally would not surrender obediently. In order to avoid being forced to drink the potion, he buried his face in the ground and clenched his teeth.

Unless his mouth is completely smashed, it is impossible to feed him medicine.

And facing this situation, Frey also has a plan.

"Noelle, you and Shiloh should step aside for a moment."

Frey slapped his hands on the ground and created a hut above Wright with sand.

"Palu, come in with me."

"Boss, what should we do?" Palu asked anxiously after entering the cabin.

Frey smiled with astonishing wisdom and said to him:

"The mouth isn't the only organ in the human body that can take potions."

According to his resume when he joined the company, before joining the Black Knights, Palu had worked many jobs to support himself, and was therefore nicknamed "working warrior" by other employees.

This included the small clinic where Jacob once lived.

Frey patted Palu's shoulder and handed him the potion and a syringe.

"Now, you should know what to do, right?"

Palu quickly understood what Frey meant. He showed a determined expression, picked up the syringe and walked towards Wright.

"Ah~~~!"

A moment later, accompanied by a shrill scream, Light absorbed Izanami through another way and saved his life.

Chapter 77 Labyrinth Guardian

"Primary Purification Light."

"Lion's Heart..."

As Shiloh released miracles one after another, the vengeful spirits attached to Wright were purified, and he was finally out of danger.

"I... I'm saved?" More than an hour later, Wright woke up from the hallucination.

His consciousness was still a little fuzzy at this time. After standing up tremblingly, Wright felt that there seemed to be something strange about his body.

"Why do I feel a sense of relaxation in my lower body?"

Palu turned away somewhat embarrassedly, while Frey spoke earnestly:

"As a man, it's good to maintain a sense of relaxation. It means you have grown up..."

After Wright recovered, the few of them continued on their journey. Without the threat of the vengeful spirits, their journey went much more smoothly.

"We should be there soon." Frey said, looking at the map in the manual.

But looking around, what meets the eye is still a stretch of yellow sand, and at the end of the yellow sand is a bare rock wall.

"Frey, is this really the place?"

Noelle was confused because according to the manual, this place should be an oasis.

"It can't be wrong. Look at the mark on the rock wall."

The records in the manual were written five years ago. The oasis that originally existed here may have disappeared due to environmental changes.

But humans have a way to preserve information for a long time - carving words on stone.

In the corner of the rock wall, Frey quickly found six crooked words deeply engraved on the rock surface.

【A Fei was here】

Next to the text, there is a pattern of moonflower.

Seeing this mark, Gold-level Wright was the first to react.

"A Fei... Is that the deceased legendary adventurer, the Evil Food King A Fei?"

"Yes, it was thanks to this manual he left behind that I learned about this place."

In the maze city, there once was a strange adventurer named A Fei who liked to feed on monsters. His title was the [Evil Food King].

The tavern owner Van Dam once had some friendship with Ah Fei. He inherited the manual called "Maze Recipe" left by Ah Fei, and then handed it to Frey.

Frey put his ear to the rock face and soon heard the faint sound of water coming from below.

This shows that there is a hidden space under this rock.

Frey placed his hand on the ground and used his magic to manipulate the sand. He soon discovered that there was a particularly thin spot in the rock beneath the sand.

After breaking the rock, a stream of magical power gushed out from it and spread into the surrounding space.

When the magic power dissipated, a natural tunnel leading downwards appeared before them.

Frey activated his shadow perception and after confirming that there was no danger in the tunnel, he planned to let Wright go in first to explore the way.

But at this moment, a rapid sound like a mechanical alarm clock came into everyone's ears.

After hearing this high-frequency noise, everyone couldn't help but feel a palpitation. The most experienced Wright was the first to react:

"Oh no, it's Ding Dong Chicken, everyone retreat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge chicken-shaped monster swooped over from a distance.

The five people immediately scattered and hid, and Frey also saw the appearance of the monster clearly.

[Cockatrice, Rank 4]

The monster is 5 meters long and its body is composed of two parts. The front is a two and a half meter chicken body, and the back is a two and a half meter snake tail similar to a rattlesnake. The noise comes from there.

Unlike ordinary rattlesnakes, the cockatrice's tail makes a bell-like sound when shaken violently.

They also earned another name: Ding Dong Chicken.

Due to its special body structure with a chicken head but a snake tail, monsters like Ding Dong Chicken are often given the meaning of being inconsistent in cultural works, with a great momentum at the beginning but giving up halfway.

Frey once heard a popular song like this in Bandolm:

"Baby, our relationship is like Ding Dong Chicken - it starts out so grand but ends so delicately."

As a fourth-level monster, the cockatrice has extremely strong combat power. Not only is it agile, it can also spray venom from its tail, and its claws and beak are also highly poisonous.

This chicken snake beast must have been attracted here by the magical aura just now.

Frey immediately manipulated the quicksand, trying to pin it to the ground, but the cockatrice simply flapped its wings and flew away.

This is also the most difficult thing about the chicken snake beast to deal with. It is a flying chicken and flies at an extremely fast speed.

Frey tried to use Sand Coffin again, but the Sand Palm could not catch up with the Cockatrice in the air. Even if he switched to shooting rock bullets, it would dodge them.

Wright tried to use taunting to attract aggro, but the special thing about the cockatrice is that it has a brain in its chicken head and snake tail, so the taunting skill has little effect.

After a fight, the cockatrice realized that among the five people, only Frey had anti-aircraft capabilities, so it used its snake tail to continuously spray venom at Frey, making him tired of dodging.

Frey glanced at Noelle, who was holding the Thunderfire Sword. After receiving Noelle's response, he shouted to the two tanks in the team:

"Help me create an opportunity to attack."

Because they had done their homework in advance, Light and Palu knew how to deal with the Cockatrice. They used taunts from the head and tail at the same time, causing the Cockatrice to become momentarily stiff due to the back and forth attacks.

At this moment, with the sound of crackling electricity, Frey stood to the left side of the chicken snake beast and used the third-level magic lightning strike.

Unlike rock shells, lightning strikes travel much faster.

But the cockatrice's attention had always been focused on Frey. Even though it was a little slow because of the taunt, it still dodged as much as possible and planned to take this opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

However, at this moment, from the right side of the cockatrice, as a silver coin was thrown into the air, another stronger lightning struck the monster.

The cockatrice was paralyzed by the electric shock, and then its front and back heads were blown up at the same time by the rock bullet.

After the cockatrice crashed, Frey gave Noelle a thumbs-up, with a layer of lightning wrapped around her hand.

Over the past few months, with Frey's tireless teaching and training, Noelle has managed to master some control over lightning. She can use silver coins as conductors to release a degraded version of the [Electromagnetic Cannon].

However, at her current level, the power of the electromagnetic cannon is not strong, and it also requires a short period of charging.

In addition, each use consumes a silver coin worth 100 rupees, so it is far less practical than the Thunder and Fire Sword.

The reason why Frey used lightning just now was to help Noel cover up the sound of electricity when charging.

"Are you okay?" Frey walked to Noelle's side.

"I'm fine..." Noelle was halfway through her sentence when her stomach growled, perhaps because the discharge consumed all her energy.

My baby's belly is rumbling...

Seeing Noelle blushing, Frey covered for her.

"It's getting late now. Now that things have come to this, let's eat first."

According to the notes, the area where evening primrose grows is also a safe zone where monsters will not spawn, making it perfect for rest.

Several people passed through the tunnel and came to the cave below.

The underground cave is very vast, and the concentration of magic power inside is also very high. You can even see a small crack that sprays magic power out like a spring.

Frey immediately realized that this was a great place to practice magic.

In the current battle, magic below level three has become somewhat weak. After his magic power is increased a little more, Frey can practice in seclusion here for a period of time to break through [Magic Lv2].

Next to the magic gap, there are small puddles, and beside the puddle in front of Frey is a patch of dark blue evening primrose.

Not only that, in the area opposite the evening primrose, Frey also discovered another rare plant that was light blue and emitted a faint silver light.

"This is, blue silver grass!" Frey exclaimed.

Evening primrose can help users maintain rationality and relieve mental damage, but this blue silver grass is even more powerful, it has a powerful detoxification effect.

Take the chicken snake beast just now as an example, the blue silver grass can easily dissolve its poison.

The few pieces of blue silver grass in the cave alone are worth hundreds of thousands of rupees, and they are the kind that are out of stock.

I thought I was just looking for some medicinal herbs, but I didn't expect to find such a treasure trove.
