Chapter 16 16: [Havok Cave] Knight’s Determination

It was a crack half a person wide, and there was faint wind blowing from inside.

The wind means there is an exit. For a time, the morale of the entire expedition team has been greatly improved. Caving is easier to come down than to go up. If you can really go out directly from here, who would be willing to climb back up?

As for the equipment still above, just wait until you get out and come back to get it.

But such a narrow crack means that they can only enter sideways, even if they can't bring their long swords in. Even if they encounter danger halfway, they will not be able to use their fists and kicks, and will most likely be beaten passively.

There seemed to be an undercurrent surging in the pitch-black dome, trying to reflect the deepest fears in these young people's hearts.

But Anji really wanted this opportunity to "quickly accumulate merit and become a knight". Wealth and honor are always found in danger. The more places others don't go, the higher the probability of finding treasures.

Of course, Barton was not afraid. He originally came out to have fun in the name of training new people.

So what about Sean? The young knight who walked with them had no reason to accompany them on their adventure. He was already a knight, and he was still young, so he must have a living family.

With this in mind, Angie pulled Sean aside, deliberately avoiding Barton, and whispered: "You can stay here to meet us. Barton and I can just go in."

This normally taciturn but thoughtful knight instantly understood what she meant.

At this time, Patton, who was alone in the distance, was still muttering dissatisfiedly, saying that they had something to hide from the deputy commander, but he had no intention of coming to disturb them.

Sean glanced at Barton, then looked back, shaking his head slightly. The candlelight illuminated the immature face of the sixteen-year-old boy.

"If I die fighting in a foreign land, my family will be proud of me."

He said such decisive words in a calm but calm tone, which shocked Anji's heart quite a bit, even greater than the thunder that almost struck him.

At first, she only thought that these knights were inexplicably reserved, but now it seems that she underestimated their determination.

Before they became knights, or even earlier, these people who were born and raised in this world had already decided their direction.

No one is born without fear of death. But more than death itself, they are more afraid of escaping and becoming something contrary to their ideal self.

Now that the matter has come to this, Anji no longer stops him and nods slightly to show respect.

The two walked towards Barton.

Seeing that the person who had left him to whisper finally returned to the team, Barton's big green eyes seemed to be dripping with water, and he pursed his lips in grievance.

"What are you doing! It was obviously the deputy captain who brought you out, but you left me to whisper! You must be scolding me!"

Anji could only comfort him with a smile, "Deputy Captain, we are discussing whether to leave someone here to assist. After all, this is also a third-level foreign land, so we still need to be more cautious."

"Be careful! You don't understand the value of this deputy captain!" The young knight instantly retracted his aggrieved expression and became angry, "I am a powerful and fearless person with a endurance value of 70!"

This sentence has no effect on Anji, because she doesn't understand the standards of patience in this world. During this period of time, she was already very tired from just dealing with Barton's training. She went back every day and fell asleep without thinking about anything else.

.So she just tilted her head and looked at Barton doubtfully.

But for Sean, Barton's words were like thunder exploding in his ears, and the effect was extraordinary. His tone was full of urgency and disbelief: "Has your patience reached seventy?"

"That's right. I broke through when I followed Lord Slade to the intermediate curse area some time ago. Hehehe~~"

Barton was extremely ecstatic, glad that he had brought Sean here. If Angie, the illiterate among the fearless, was the only one present, no one would be cheering for him.

Angie wanted to look at Sean for help. Sean sighed and began to explain.

One of the biggest differences between the mid-level cursed area and the low-level cursed area is the resistance value requirements.

Just like Angie and Scott's resistance values ​​are both in the range of 30 to 40, they can completely walk sideways in the low-level curse area.

But in the fourth-level alien environment, which is an intermediate-level cursed area, they began to experience symptoms of bleeding from the mouth and nose, accompanied by abnormal sensations such as internal bleeding and internal pain.

For Angie, it was the severe pain all over her body and the feeling of suffocation.

They were in an extremely dangerous state in the forest and could not survive for at most two or three hours. In the meantime, they wasted a lot of time because they were deeply immersed in hallucinations and did not notice the changes in the foreign environment immediately.

Hallucinations are one of the iconic side effects of the intermediate curse zone.

Angie's tolerance level was lower than Scott's at the time, so her symptoms were more severe.

A resistance value of 70 against curses means that Barton can walk sideways in the alien environment in the forest where he almost killed Anji without suffering any punishment from the alien environment.

As a fearless person who becomes stronger through exposure to curses, a higher resistance value is equivalent to that he has been exposed to more curses, and his physical ability will naturally be stronger than that of a person with a low resistance value. Therefore, the resistance value has always been used to judge the combat ability of a fearless person.

The most important standard.

Sean knows that not everyone likes to "call curses a blessing." He thoughtfully used the most official and popular terms to answer Anji's confusion.

"I see..." Anji nodded from time to time, as if she didn't understand. "In other words, Barton is twice as strong as me, which is equivalent to two me?"

Even if she doesn't understand, she can always do math. Isn't seventy twice as fast as her thirty-four?

Thinking that she had damaged so many clothes during training, but had never been able to damage Button's clothes, Anji felt a little unbalanced.

"More than that. It becomes more difficult to increase the endurance value in the later stages. Sometimes the difference is only ten points, but it is already a world of difference."

"cut."

Her astonishment did not escape Barton's ears. Barton walked up to Anji, put his right hand on the top of her head, and said half-jokingly: "Hey, why are you still not convinced! Compared with this deputy captain,

You little guy is still far behind!"

Angie was very dissatisfied with Barton's behavior that he was obviously only two years older than her, but still liked to act like a senior all the time. She slapped Barton's hand away and started to fight back, but Barton ran so fast.

, it was fairly certain that Anji would not take action against outsiders, and would hide behind Sean from time to time, using Sean as a shield.

In the chase and fight of this group of energetic young people, this silent and empty cave became lively.

Anji, who had been chasing Barton for a long time but failed to hit him, was panting. She gave up trying to deal with Barton and forced herself to calm down.

After learning that the patience value represented combat power, she naturally thought of the woman she could not compete with yet.

"Then Slade...what's your patience level?"

"About two hundred?" "More than two hundred."

Barton and Sean's voices sounded one after another.

…??

"Is this still a human being?" Anji paused and muttered subconsciously, feeling frightened for a while. Presumably in the eyes of the other party, it would be more difficult for him not to kill himself than to kill himself.

"Of course. If it wasn't so strong, how could it protect the Grosk Territory?"

Among these people, Barton is the one who has the most contact with Slade, so he also knows the strength of this lord who takes great care of him. If we really want to discuss it, he can brag about it for three days and three nights.

No duplicates.

Just when he was about to speak, a slight movement came from below them. Barton immediately made a silence gesture, signaling Angie and Sean to stand behind him, while he walked towards the edge of the platform holding the candle in his hand.

At this moment, the experience of living in foreign lands for many years caused him to stop abruptly and step back several meters.

Almost at the same time, a huge black shadow jumped up high, crossed the platform, and landed heavily on the rock wall above them. Countless small gravels were shaken down, and together with the dense rolling sounds, they were swallowed by the abyss.
