Comprehensive network wizard, magic emperor.

Chapter 101 Flame's True Name
The team shuttled through the underground passages, trudging through the sticky poisonous swamp. The small incense burners on each person emitted smoke, and the rich fragrance barely overcame the stench of the poisonous swamp.

The narrow terrain did not allow two people to walk side by side, so the formation was stretched into a long strip. The teammates at the back frequently paid attention to the paladin at the head of the line, their eyes fixed on the enchanting Tide Guardian robe outside the armor.

Although the paladin modified the burqa by adding shoulder pads to enhance its masculinity and a skirt at the waist to cover the high slit, it failed to alleviate the sense of incongruity and instead made it worse.

The heavy armor is matched with a light gauze robe. The soft fabric is stretched tight by the iron armor, which makes people feel sorry for the clothes.

Teammates openly complained in the chat channel.

[Yao]: I thought the Mage’s look was already pretty cool, but I didn’t expect there were actually some experts in the team.
[Hate the rainy season]: They say clothes make the man, that’s why I don’t wear a raincoat
[My dog ​​is hungry again]: I have to admit that Paladin looks even more miserable than you now.

[Binge Drinking Expert]: That was really disappointing.

Although the Paladin was paying attention to the news in the channel, he did not refute anything.

There are deformed and powerful evil war servants in the passage. Their original shortcoming was their slow movement speed, but with the enhancement of the unclean blessing, they can move very fast and often rush to the front of the team in the blink of an eye. Their huge arms come across and the fists whistle.

Before the fist touched the holy warrior, the runes on the robe lit up, creating a transparent spherical water film that enveloped the body. The terrifying fist force of the evil servant, like a bullet, pierced the water shield, splashing ripples, but ultimately failed to penetrate it.

The wizard, who was floating behind the holy warrior with his hands behind his back, glanced up and saw that the iron bucket helmet worn by the evil servant began to deform, and the edge turned into a sharp blade, cutting deeply into the neck. With a sudden twist, he removed the complete head from the cavity.

The Life Control Technique, which requires no visual guidance, can transform an enemy's helmet into a guillotine from a distance, something that was previously impossible. Previously, when Lin Bo was running around in maps, he would move the Iron Helmet away and let the Paladin do the harvesting.

[Barrier]: The mage is more efficient now.

[Lighthouse Guest]: As the enemy becomes stronger, you need to put in more effort.

[Barrier]: Yes, I bought a heavy shield yesterday, and it seems to be useful now.

The holy warrior put away his sword and halberd, took out a teardrop-shaped silver kite shield from his backpack, and held it upright in front of him, shielding most of his body.

The two of them advanced steadily forward. No matter whether it was a vicious war servant or a sea monster, as long as they could not break through the paladin's defense, the mage would take their life at first sight.

The team members following behind had nothing to do. The cat priest and druid were already at ease, while the other newcomers were too embarrassed to take advantage of the situation and tried to maintain a vigilant appearance.

The sorcerer looked at the druid's careless attitude and couldn't help but complain in the channel.

Yao: Do ​​they usually do this? Just push it over like they're taking a walk?

[想吃肉]: Not really. In the past, the mage would deliberately hold back and give us the chance to finish off the enemy, which was considered to increase our sense of participation.

[Yao]: Damn it! Why did I only recognize such a thigh today!

[Holy Light]: Yes, yes, that's the jealous expression. More of it, I want to see more~
The cat priest was in such a good mood that he smiled with his eyes narrowed, and his three-petal lips curled up into a flower.

They joked and joked along the way, strolling leisurely. Soon they passed through the narrow passage and arrived at the large cave area.

Just like the villages on the surface, the underground cave is also crowded with people at this difficulty level.

The burning braziers on the stalagmites and pillars cast dense, twisted shadows onto the stone walls. The cluster of hundreds of vicious war servants almost drowned out all the light.

It will undoubtedly be a tough battle.

The male pastor took off his glasses and put them away, then put on a pair of sunglasses instead.

[Senior Priest]: Everyone, follow the plan. Stand at the entrance and wait for the enemy to come. If you can't hold on any longer, retreat to the passage. I'm about to cast Daylight. Everyone, be careful of the strong light.
Players with sunglasses pulled them out, while those without could only squint. Lin Bo promptly adjusted the camera aperture to prevent the daylight technique from damaging the sensor.

The man in the white coat recited a prayer, raised his hand and pointed at the dome of the cave. Immediately, a milky white fluorescent light lit up in the air, and quickly expanded into a pure white light ball with a diameter of nearly 20 meters, emitting the same bright sunlight as the sun.

The gloomy and bleak cave in front of everyone was as bright as day. The accumulated water waterfall seeping in from the cracks in the dome turned into silver silk and flowed down. The dark red poisonous swamp under their feet reflected a bit of gem luster, and the minerals in the rock strata sparkled like stars.

[I really want to eat meat]: I didn’t expect that this place would be so beautiful after lighting up.
The druid marveled at the sight, and his teammates, who were witnessing it for the first time, felt a little dazed by the sharp contrast in the scenery.

Under the sunlight, all the wandering enemies showed severe discomfort. Although they would not be burned by the sun like vampires, they were extremely unaccustomed to this strong light environment.

A large number of malignant war servants rushed towards the players. Their movements were slightly slow and their attack movements were slightly deformed.

The front and middle rows formed a semicircle. The bard drew out a scimitar and joined the formation. Everyone protected the mage and ranger in the middle.

The female priest shouted and threw out a few brambles, calling on the power of nature to bless her, creating a large area of ​​thorns in the enemy's path.

The druid followed suit. Two thorn bushes slowed down the enemy attacks on both wings, leaving a clear gap in the middle, which was blocked by the paladin and dwarf.

Lin Bo took off into the air, leaving the battle on the ground to his teammates. He was responsible for killing the ocean monsters and the sea spirit priests who were attracted over.

There are five elite monsters in the catacombs: the Bishop and four Priests. The battle will attract two of the Sea Priests, who will charge at the player team and then be killed by the iron balls shot from a distance by the Mage.

After eliminating the large-scale threat, Lin Bo floated in the air to provide support, ready to support the weak links in the defensive formation at any time.

Nearly a hundred vicious war servants had their helmets removed one by one by the mage, while his teammates happily attacked their weaknesses. The rangers killed the demon maw servants mixed in with the monsters one by one, without causing any trouble.

Five minutes later, the skirmish ended. Aside from the sorcerer being grazed by a mutated servant's fist, fracturing an arm and suffering a weakened status effect, everyone else was unharmed.

Everyone in the chatroom was saying how easy it was to fight. Only the Warlock had a grimace, silently accepting the treatment from the man in the white coat.

[Barrier]: Defensive equipment is still very useful.

The paladin's earnest advice was like a boomerang, and the warlock switched to facepalming.

After treating the wounded, the team began to move deeper into the cave.

[Agile Monkey on the Tree]: Look carefully, there are slime monsters hanging on the stalactites

Everyone looked up and saw a large number of slime monsters attached to the stalactites hanging from the ceiling of the cave. When players passed below, they would suddenly fall down and completely wrap up their prey, making it extremely difficult to break free with their sticky bodies.

This is also part of the malicious design of the copy.

The ranger took out his homemade alchemical arrows and shot them into the air. The burning potion stored in the arrows ignited the slime monsters and baked them into shriveled skins that hung on the dome like bats.

The path leading to the depths was completely cleared, and Bishop Hailing and the last two priests were killed by the mage with a snap of his fingers. Everyone quickly pulled the Fish Belly Orb from the pile of flesh and blood.

All that remains is the final battle with the boss monster.

The group returned to the temple along the same route to rest before the battle.

The huge bonfire was re-ignited, and the ground units took off their protective boots to clean them. After a busy period, everyone gathered around the fire to keep warm.

[I really want to eat meat]: I don’t know how Tawimira will be strengthened by the Unholy Blessing.

[Agile monkey on the tree]: With the strength of our team, is there any need to be afraid? (Hands on hips)
[My dog ​​is hungry again]: I teamed up with the mage brother and fought our way in and out of the ten-man group as if we were in an empty space!

[Yao]: Master Bro is asleep, he can’t even see you praising him (pouting)

[Hate the rainy season]: But he can look through the chat history
[Yao]: Uh... I mean, such corny words should be said to the master in person to fully express my admiration.

The bard plucked the strings of his harp and played a funny tune, and everyone laughed at the sorcerer's face.

Fires roared, and rain poured.

The big dog thrust its head into the circle of players, laid on the Ranger's lap, and wagged its short tail. The teammate next to it also reached out to rub its head.

The dwarf's goat lay on the ground like a sofa. The druid and the female priest leaned over to lie down, sighing comfortably.

The warlock pulled out a magic book and muttered to himself as he prepared a spell. The paladin removed his tunic, knelt on the ground, and sharpened his weapon with a whetstone. The cat priest yawned and whispered a prayer to the gods. Her praises blended with the chanting of the white-coated monks.

The sound of the harp was gurgling. The bard played the softest tune with the lightest touch, and the music was like the chirping of birds in the dense forest and the undercurrent of water under the ice.

Lin Bo listened to the laughter from the campfire, which was the sound of the air baking in the heat waves, interspersed with the crackling of firewood.

He had never heard the flames speak before, not when the lighthouse still used a fire pit, and he ignored the flames even more when it was switched to an induction cooker.

Only now, sitting beside his teammates, did he hear the sound of fire. He suddenly realized that fire was a supernatural being, and that there was no real name for it in Gu'dorei.

Deep meditation was like suspended animation. The laughter of the flames beside Lin Bo's ears was drowned out by the low noise of his teammates. He could vaguely hear it telling a story about burning, transformation and destruction. When the firewood was burned out, the flames would die with it.

An hour later, the bonfire dimmed.

The mage woke up from his meditation and looked around.

The harp music had died down, the dwarf was snoring, and the others were fast asleep. The paladin was stirring the dying fire with a stick, trying to rekindle it.

A faint noise floated out from under the skull mask, and the last flame suddenly floated up, landing on the wooden stick held by the paladin, burning quietly.

The paladin smiled at him and threw a few more pieces of firewood into the fire. The wizard pointed from a distance, and the flames climbed onto all the firewood and soon burned vigorously.

[Barrier]: Have you rested? Shall we set off now?

[Lighthouse Guest]: Wait until they wake up.

The paladin nodded and rose, went outside the temple to collect the protective boots, took them back to the fire to dry, and then folded each person's boots neatly and placed them beside them.

[Lighthouse Guest]: Let’s rest for a while.

The paladin nodded.

They continued to stare at the flames in ecstasy.
