Chapter 21 Premonition
Crisis always comes when people are not alert. Chen An and Alex, who are in the jungle maze, would not have thought that a team of gods who speculated their location was approaching quietly.
After the meal, Alex, who was still full of energy, relied on his outstanding physical fitness and was still full of energy, let the exhausted Chen An take a rest first, and he took on a patrol and alert task near the camp.
Since checking the surrounding situation in advance, Alex was not worried about being suddenly attacked by monsters. After a rough inspection, he was idle and took out a small whetstone to start polishing the dagger.
As a poor new divine fellow, Alex's equipment for hunting monsters is a waste of money. The only dagger in his hand that he can use as a weapon is the inferior goods he earned from the blacksmith shop after spending his money. Perhaps it will be broken and scrapped in a short time. Despite this, the threat of a dagger is always greater than bare hands.
Furthermore, if you don’t even have a weapon, which senior god-fellow will take you to the Demon-Sealing Tower to take you to the Demon-Sealing Tower for adventure and experience? This has nothing to do with strength, it is just a matter of personal attitude.
Alex had thought that he would borrow money from Chen An to buy weapons. Anyway, as long as he followed the seniors of the God-Following Master to experience it for a few months, he could hunt independently in the Demon-Sealing Tower, and his future living standards would inevitably rise sharply. The problem was that he knew that Chen An was also not rich, because most of his money was contributed to the library of Bella Ouca. Considering the price of a good steel sword, he finally gave up his plan to borrow money.
As for borrowing money from Joseph or the gangster usury, he did have this idea. Unfortunately, before he could take action, he was urgently called by his seniors of the gods to go to the Demon-Sealing Tower for training. When he planned to come back, he would do this. However, after hearing the news that the temple was about to arrest Chen An, he delayed it again. Sometimes Alex couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He had known to borrow the money first, otherwise he would not have fallen to the point of having only one pitiful dagger to defend himself.
After carefully polishing the blade of the dagger to a sharp and shiny, Alex held it back and forth in his hand and gestured back and forth. He always felt more and more comfortable using the dagger. Perhaps this is the most suitable weapon.
...
"Barrings, you are the best at tracking and reconnaissance in the team, so you will be responsible for searching for Alex's whereabouts later."
As a red light flashed across an altar on the fifth floor, Nored led a group of team members to appear together. On the way to the jungle maze, he took the opportunity to arrange the next action plan.
"Received!" Ballins raised his hand and raised his hand, and said with a smile on his face.
"Amanda and Clark, you two are responsible for checking the situation of monsters near the jungle maze and eliminating potential hidden dangers as much as possible."
"Received!" Amanda, with a charming figure and Clark, with a cold face, responded at the same time.
"Kit and I are on standby for now, and wait until you complete your mission and gather with us before starting the next move!" Nored patted Kit, the burly and strong team member beside him.
"I said captain, is it necessary to deal with a little kid Alex?" Ballins said curiously.
"To be honest, it's not difficult to deal with Alex. Anyone on the team can easily handle him, but it's not bad to be cautious. And you seem to have forgotten that there is someone around Alex." Norred said solemnly.
"Are you talking about the mortal named An?" Amanda tilted his head and thought.
"Yes!" Nored nodded. "I always feel that this mortal named An is not very simple."
"Haha, just a mortal. It is the greatest luck that he can live to the fifth level safely. Without Alex's help, I think he would not be able to survive in the first level of the Demon-Sealing Tower." Clark, who has always been arrogant, said sarcastically and meanly.
"Indeed, based on the information provided by the temple and my personal understanding, this friend of Alex has nothing to praise. The question is why the temple regards him as a blasphemer?" Nored said with his eyes narrowed.
"It was probably Alex's implication." Ballins shrugged.
"Please, if you learned that you were regarded as a blasphemer by the temple, would you bring your friends to escape together? What's more important is why the other party wants to escape with you?" Nored shook his head and sighed.
"Maybe the real target of the temple is him, not Alex. The person who is really involved is Alex." Kit, who has been silent, suddenly said in a muffled voice.
"That's right! This is the same answer I can think of." Nored snapped his fingers immediately.
"Mortal...blasphemer...is the other party's true identity is a cult?" Clark thought for a while and guessed.
"Who knows, if we speculate based on this idea, I believe that this person named An must have hidden some big secrets that we don't know!" Nored pondered.
"Why do you think so much? Then you'll know if you catch them and ask them directly!" Balins said impatiently.
"That's right! It seems that I'm too complicated to think about it, or is it just a simple person who thinks about the problem!" Norred couldn't help but laugh.
"Captain...you are talking bad about me again!" Ballins looked at Noled with dissatisfaction.
"At worst, I'll treat you to drink when I go back, so I can do it!" Nored waved his hand with a bold move.
"Get out! Don't think I don't know that you want to get drunk again and I ran away secretly. As a result, I will pay the bill afterwards!" Ballins said angrily.
The atmosphere of the Norred team was quite relaxed along the way. Although they attached great importance to the capture of Alex this time, from everyone's performance, they could find that they were dissatisfied with it. Perhaps, the combination of Alex and Chen An was really too weak, so weak that they were too lazy to treat each other directly.
...
It takes a long time for Chen An to wake up every time he rests. The reason is naturally not just his physical condition. The Demon-Closing Tower itself is not suitable for mortals to survive. Long-term staying will only cause continuous hidden diseases and hidden injuries to the body. Perhaps there is no need for the arrest of the temple. Chen An may die directly after staying in the Demon-Closing Tower for a year or two.
Does Alex understand this question? Does Chen An understand? No, they all understand, but no one mentioned this topic.
Chen An didn't mention it, he wanted to get each other's relief after dying silently.
Alex doesn't mention it, pure silence means not wanting to make each other fall into sad and negative emotions.
Looking at Chen An who was sleeping in the tent, Alex held the gravel under his feet in a little upset. He had to think of a way, a way to stop Chen An from his chronic death!
Since killing the dark and thin monster in the fourth floor of the Demon-Sealing Tower, Alex found that he seemed to fall in love with this exciting pleasure in life-and-death struggle, especially after achieving the final victory between life and death, his exhausted spirit and body seemed to be greatly satisfied.
Is this the fate of the existence of the God-loving One?
Compared to his original self, even though he often thieves, Alex never thought of using violent crime to gain profits. He is not those vicious gangsters who dare to kill, rape, and traffickeleton women and children on the edge of the law. He even avoids these people.
What about now? He didn't know why he had a kind of indifference to violent crimes. Even when facing the search of the temple, the first thing he thought of was not to surrender, but to rise up and resist.
Sometimes he doubts that he is still himself?
It is useless to think too much, it is better to recall every moment of that battle and dig out the potential power of the divine gift in the body as much as possible.
With this idea in mind, Alex sat down quietly, empty his head, and slowly integrated his body's breath with the surrounding environment.
at the same time.
Norred's team had arrived outside the jungle maze. According to the established action plan, Ballins took the lead in leaving the team and went deep into the maze. Amanda and Clark began to check the surrounding monsters, leaving Norred and Kit to sit idle and idle.
"Captain, I have an ominous premonition in this action." When the others left for a while, the big guy Kit suddenly spoke.
"Kit, aren't you kidding?" Nored said with a serious face. He knew that the God of Disaster believed in had certain prophecy, and that all believers of the God of Disaster will be perceived before the crisis comes.
"This is true, because my heart has been unable to calm down since the beginning." Kit said in a deep voice.
"Huh... it seems that things are a little bad." Norred immediately scratched his hair irritably. "Why didn't you remind us of such an important thing earlier?"
"The premonition happened too late." Kit shook his head.
"What accident will happen in this operation?" Nored thought hard. "Is Alex? No, he shouldn't have the ability... or will we encounter any terrifying hidden monsters in the maze?"
"...No, I can't wait! I have to go to the depths of the maze to find Ballins. After all, he only has one person, and if something happens, he will have the greatest chance of something happening." Norred immediately stood up and prepared to walk into the maze forest with an anxious look on his face. "Kit, stay here for the time being. If Amanda and Clark come back, explain the situation. Do not act rashly before I come back."
"What if you haven't come back either?" Kitt stared at Norred with a serious look on his face.
Norred stopped and turned around and showed a reassuring smile. "I'm not the impulsive idiot in Ballins, so I'll definitely come back."
After saying that, Norred disappeared into the jungle maze.
