351: Chapter 351: Keep a Low Profile, Must Keep a Low Profile 351: Chapter 351: Keep a Low Profile, Must Keep a Low Profile The Goblin Maze could be said to be the most fad Underground Maze in Sertia.
This maze, just like the Sli Forest affiliated with the Tren Republic, was the best training ground for novice adventurers.
Most novice adventurers in Sertia would go there to learn hunting skills and practice newly acquired Skills.
That Underground Maze was also one of the few that could continuously refresh monsters in a short period.
Adventurers didn’t have to worry about attacking too fiercely, clearing out the goblins entirely and destroying the ecology established around the Underground Maze.
Passing by the small town near the Goblin Maze, Yang Yu had a sense of déjà vu, as if he had returned to Newbie Village, but the adventurers gathered here were far more nurous than those he had seen in the village he was born in.
Not only were there greenhorns who were fresh on the scene, but occasionally there were also seasoned adventurers with powerful Skills, who had no place to test them and thus ca specifically to the Goblin Maze.
Compared to the soft Slis, most people preferred the goblins that allowed for a more direct and physical confrontation.
Yang Yu pulled Bai Jin’s hood forward, completely covering He ng.
In these kinds of towns brimming with novices, if He ng got lost, he would surely be mistaken for a Demon that had mistakenly wandered into the village and be attacked.
With He ng’s current strength, Yang Yu wasn’t worried about He ng getting hurt; he was afraid that He ng, displeased, would knock down those attacking him, causing more people to co like a series of toppling dominoes.
Yang Yu also wasn’t worried about He ng being played with and spoiled.
To be honest, with He ng’s current Defense Attribute, Yang Yu thought that even if a hundred people ca, they would all be ground into the dust by He ng.
Yang Yu was afraid that, if He ng really hung up everyone in the area and beat them, the news that a Sli was causing an uproar near the Goblin Maze might reach the Sunrise Chamber of Comrce, revealing that they once ca to the Goblin Maze in search of Sekans and rendered all their hard work in vain.
After searching the village and confirming that Sekans and his group hadn’t stayed there, Yang Yu led his team directly to the Goblin Maze.
Sekans had said that, in their pursuit of becoming stronger, they would try to make it to the last floor of the Goblin Maze.
However, Yang Yu wasn’t sure if Sekans could persist, and if they gave up halfway, Yang Yu would have to think of a new strategy quickly.
Entering the first floor of the Goblin Maze, the young adventurers laughed and joked, clumsily battling goblins with Skills they had just learned.
For novice adventurers, ordinary attacks that hit five or six tis were enough to kill a goblin.
Yang Yu distractedly watched a few battles.
Although the goblins in this Underground Maze showed realistic injuries and fractures during combat, once completely defeated, they would vanish entirely in a streak of light, leaving no trace at all, nor any loot.
The goblins on the first floor ranged in Level from one to five and didn’t possess any Special Skills.
Even novices could handle them with ease, and since Yang Yu had already surpassed Level 50, the low-level goblins’ Experience wasn’t even worth considering for him.
He just wanted to find the stairs to the next floor quickly.
However, Yang Yu’s team, on the whole, still appeared very young and could easily be mistaken for freshly minted novice adventurers.
Especially upon seeing a beauty like Iyas, so self-proclaid experienced adventurers would feel the flas of benevolence stirring in their hearts.
“Hey, rookie, good morning!”
An exceedingly fashionable male adventurer was fiddling with the dagger in his hand as he used “Instant Movent” to appear right in front of Yang Yu and his companions,
“You guys are probably tackling the Underground Maze for the first ti, huh?
If you wander in there without any experience, you’re bound to run into trouble.
But don’t worry, you’re in luck having t .
My na is Kegro, an adventurer who’s been around the block more than just a few tis.
With guiding you, you’ll quickly grow into competent adventurers and kick off your own epic tales of adventure.”
Seeing Kegro take charge, many of the “good Samaritans” around decided against offering their help to Yang Yu and his company.
Kegro could be described as a guide in these parts; he didn’t fight monsters himself but survived by giving instruction to new adventurers and charging them for his services.
“Of course, my services aren’t free, but for the sake of this lady here, I’m willing to give you a discount of 20 percent.
Just put in the effort, and we guarantee you’ll have the strength to get through the Fifth Floor.”
Iyas could clearly sense that the flashy man in front of her was actually much weaker than her, and bringing him along wouldn’t be of any help.
But just as Iyas was about to firmly refuse, Yang Yu asked:
“I gather you’ve been mixing it up around here for quite a while, big brother?”
“That’s right, I’ve been here for almost six years now.
You could say I’ve completely mastered the first six floors of this maze—I know every corner, where every trap is located, and the characteristics of every creature like the back of my hand.
With , you’re sure to progress rapidly and achieve more with less effort.”
Without hesitating much, Yang Yu inquired about the cost.
Seeing Yang Yu’s straightforward manner, Kegro naturally quoted his price.
Kegro had his own set of rules for doing business.
He charged by the floor, with the price increasing the deeper one went, but it never exceeded 500 gold coins.
The terms were quite reasonable, well within Yang Yu’s budget.
Thus, Yang Yu paid up front for guidance through the first to the Sixth Floor, asking Kegro to take them directly to the Sixth Floor.
Kegro realized, hey, this guy’s got money.
He wasn’t carrying any weapons, and his clothes were extrely simple and lightweight, which did give him sowhat the air of an adventurer; the two girls with him were indeed dressed like adventurers and were ard…
A man being protected by two adventurers…
Their presence here likely had a different purpose.
Before Kegro could say anything, Yang Yu revealed their true intent to Kegro—they were here to search for soone, and Yang Yu also asked Kegro if he had recently seen Sekans.
Sekans stood out in both appearance and attire, and his companions each had their quirks.
It didn’t take Kegro long to rember that, indeed, a group fitting Yang Yu’s description had co by recently and seed not to have left yet.
Kegro couldn’t confirm it, as his turf was from the first to the Sixth Floor, but he hadn’t spotted Sekans anywhere within those levels.
