Pirate's Bizarre Adventure

“We’re in this position now.”

"According to the information I heard from the orcs, the place where the red dragon appeared is here..."

"That is to say, just do this, this, and this again."

"reach the goal!"

Chirchak pointed to a place on the map and said in a deep voice: "If we continue to travel at the same speed as before, we will be there in about two days."

Two days.

After listening to this, the atmosphere suddenly became serious.

Senxi tilted his head and raised his doubts: "But a red dragon will never stay in one place, right? What if we rush over and the dragon is not there?"

Chilchak: "The fire dragon does move around. But after all, it's not the type that likes to run around. It's possible that it could sleep for seven or eight years, or even more than ten years."

Senxi stroked his beard and said, "I see. Since the war is imminent, there will be strict requirements on the number of times we can set up camp to rest."

Chirchak nodded and suggested, "I think we should limit the number of camping to two times, once during the journey and once before the battle with the red dragon. This way we can ensure that we have sufficient physical strength and not waste any time."

"Chilchak is right, let's do it." As the leader, Laos nodded slightly, with a rare serious look in his eyes, "Everyone has rested well, right? Without further ado, let's set off now!"

Suddenly, Malushiel raised her hand: "Don't leave in a hurry, I have something to tell you."

In an instant, everyone turned their heads to look at the silly elf.

Malushiel was a little embarrassed: "That's it, my body is sticky and uncomfortable, I want to wipe my body."

"Huh?" Hearing this, Jon began to speak sarcastically: "What time is it, Miss? This is an underground maze. Please figure out the situation."

"Shut up." Malushel said unhappily.

She explained hurriedly, "You see, it's because we're going to fight the red dragon that I want to stay in perfect condition and clean myself properly."

Laos: ???

Malushel's eyes were very serious: "For a magician, mood can greatly affect the quality of spellcasting. And look at my hair..."

Jon: "Isn't it great? It's so shiny that the American troops are about to attack after seeing it."

A big question mark appeared above Malushel's head.

Although I don't know what the "US military" is, it doesn't sound like a good thing.

She took a deep breath and said, "Hair is an important medium for magicians to cast spells, so it must be well maintained."

At this point, Malushel gave an example: "Think about it, Sensi's beard was messy before, so he had a strong resistance to magic. As the only... well, the only two magic output professions in the team, he can't not take good care of his hair."

Jon spread his hands and said, "It's really troublesome. Women are always troublesome."

It’s time to start boxing, guys.

"I can't pretend I didn't hear that." Malushel slapped her thigh with an angry expression on her face: "Apologize to all the women and female spellcasters in the world."

Jon: “I don’t.”

Malushiel could no longer control her temperature.

He turned to look at Laos and the others: "What do you say?"

"It doesn't matter to us, but it's a bit dangerous nearby. Where are you going to wash your body?" Laos scratched his head and asked with concern.

"Just stand in the corner of the room. You don't have to take off your clothes anyway." Malushiel ignored Jon for the time being and said carelessly.

Although she was usually worried that a magic swordsman with a bad reputation would covet her increasingly plump body, when it really mattered, she was not so pretentious.

What are you afraid of? We are all brothers~

Jon doesn’t count for now.

Laos and the others had no objection.

Malushiel stood up and used the other end of her staff to draw a simple magic circle on the ground. She then borrowed an uncommon pot from Sensi, filled it with water, and placed it on the magic circle.

After a while, the water began to boil with a gurgling sound.

Laos and the others looked at each other and said, "Well, let's wait outside."

Malushiel waved her hand: "It's okay, I can wipe it even with my clothes on, you just sit quietly."

"That's what I mean..." Jon deliberately whistled, "It's a rare opportunity for Malushel to give us benefits, so please don't be shy."

After saying this, Malushiel pointed outside and said, "You, get out."

Jon finally caught the chance: "It seems like someone is interested in your 50-year-old body."

"What?" Malushiel blushed.

In one sentence, it’s easy to break the defense.

"In elf terms, I'm still a child," she argued.

"Yes, yes, you are a child, I am a child, we are all children." Qiao En was no longer in a hurry to argue with her. "But I have to remind you that you must handle the hot water properly. Don't pour it directly into the lake, otherwise you will be spotted by water elves and be chilled to the bone."

"Ah..." After being reminded, Malushiel reacted.

To be honest, she did have a similar thought just now, but she didn't admit defeat: "I know, I know, you are so long-winded, who would do such a stupid thing?"

After a simple packing, Malushiel and his group happily set off on their journey.

Walk out for a while.

They finally left the area of ​​the 4th underground floor.

Looking down from a tower that was half exposed above the lake, everyone looked troubled.

Chirchak: "I say, I'm sure you're right, this is too..."

Laos's face was solemn. "No doubt, going down from here is the 5th underground floor, close to the orcs' village... at least that's what it says on the map."

"That's what we say, but how do we get down?" Seeing the scene in front of her clearly, Malushiel's hair stood on end.

In the sight, various plant tentacles densely grew out from various cracks, almost covering the stairs.

It sways gently in the breeze.

It's a nightmare for people with claustrophobia!

Chirchak: "Are we being deceived by the orcs? Can we really continue on this road normally?"

"I don't think they're lying. It's because it's difficult to pass that they built the village near the exit of Level 5." As he spoke, Laos drew his sword. "There's no point in thinking too much. Why don't we just move forward and think about it."

Two swipes of the sword.

He cut off several of the plant's tentacles.

Malushiel's forehead was covered with black lines, and she looked reluctant.

He turned his head to look around and said tentatively: "Or, let's take a longer route. It takes a lot of effort to cut off these tentacles, and you see..."

She pointed at the half-emerged trap on the wall and said, "If you're not careful, you might get stabbed to death by something."

"Hey, don't get too close to the wall!" Chilchak quickly stopped him.

Coincidentally.

As soon as he finished speaking, a mechanism wrapped by tentacles suddenly loosened.

A spear as thick as a baby's arm popped out.

Fortunately, the spear was so old that it only broke halfway and fell to the ground, causing Malushiel to break out in a cold sweat.

"saved……"

Chirchak also breathed a sigh of relief and said to Malushiel, "These traps will be hidden in the wall. The more tentacles there are, the more gaps there are, and the more traps there are. If you put too much pressure on them, the traps will be triggered."

As he spoke, he remembered some bad things.

"The tentacles growing on the treasure chests work together with the traps to harm people. Speaking of treasure chest monsters, I get angry!"

The treasure chest monster, the locksmith's lifelong enemy.

Laos, who was confused, said stupidly: "I actually like these plant tentacles because there are many kinds, colorful and I never get tired of looking at them."

Chilchak crossed his arms and said, "Indeed, if you don't approach them deliberately and just watch them from a distance, most of them are harmless monsters."

Hearing this, Laos suddenly had an idea, "Look at these tentacles, the colors are so bright, if they can be transplanted to the ground and replace the roses and roses given to women, would it be promising?"

Chirchak shook his head. "You are hopeless..."

Malushiel also said with a dark face: "No woman would be happy to receive your tentacles."

"Okay, okay, I just said it casually, why take it so seriously." Laos coughed lightly: "After delaying for so long, we should move on. Shouldn't we reach the bottom?"

While speaking, Laos looked back.

Then, his expression froze for a moment.

He felt like he had been chopping at those tentacles for at least half an hour.

As a result, he walked less than 10 meters.

Laos stroked his smooth chin and said, "How strange! The orcs should have also passed through this road. What's the difference between them and us?"

Jon suddenly said, "Thick skin and strong flesh."

Laos remained silent.

Just then, Chilchak's ears twitched.

His expression suddenly changed: "Be careful, something is approaching us!"

In the blink of an eye, a pink object flew over and swept away the sword in Laos' hand.

"What? Is it a monster?" Laos raised his head belatedly: "Sword - help -"

"Haha, you even named your sword? No, no, now is not the time to talk about that. That guy is a big frog." Chilchak said as he hid behind Jon in horror.

When Malushiel saw the big frog, she felt nauseous.

"gross."

The big frog retracted its tongue and threw Laos's beloved sword, Kensuke, to the bottom of the tower.

Laos held his head in his hands. "Is this true? Sword——Assist——"

Malushiel's face darkened: "How dare a mere frog be so arrogant? Leave this to me!"

The body is clean, the hair is refreshed, and after rest, the magic power is restored.

Now is the time to awaken!

Malushil raised her staff and chanted a little, and a fireball that was much larger than usual hit the big frog's head unreasonably, instantly blasting it into pieces.

Malushel clenched his fist excitedly: "This is what happens when you go against a magician!"

But the next second, a tongue similar to the previous one wrapped around her staff.

Malushiel's smug expression froze on her face: "Ambrosia, no——"

"You're talking about me. Didn't you also name your weapons?" Laos complained silently.

"Speaking of which, now is not the time to talk about this, right? Look up." Chilchak pointed upwards with sharp eyes and trembling hands.

However, there were at least 10 big frogs crowded together, staring at everyone with a fierce look in their eyes.

Senxi gripped the axe tightly and was secretly on guard.

Suddenly, there was a gust of strong wind behind me.

Without thinking, he turned around and chopped fiercely.

A big frog that attacked by surprise was killed with one blow.

Unfortunately, his axe was also entangled by the tongues of other giant frogs.

Fortunately, Sensi was very strong and managed to hold out against the big frog.

Upon seeing this, Laos and Malushiel rushed to help Sensi to avoid losing the few weapons in the team.

Chilchak: "Mr. Jon, it's all up to you now!"

Jon hesitated.

He showed a look of disgust: "But the big frog is very sticky, my famous sword Lei Yu doesn't want to..."

"Please." Chilchak clasped his hands together: "This is my lifelong request!"

"What a casual request." Jon shook his head and had to draw his sword.

With two swipes of the sword, the frog's tongue was cut off.

Sensi's weapons were saved.

But the situation hasn't changed at all.

They were surrounded by giant frogs. If they didn't resolve the problem quickly, they would probably be wiped out here.

"Damn, this place is too narrow and we can't move at all." Laos said indignantly as he assumed a fighting stance.

Of course, compared to his sword skills, his abilities were limited to beating up small-time thugs.

There is nothing we can do to deal with such a ferocious monster...

The situation reminded Jon of the adventurers from other worlds, and he blurted out, "Frogs are pretty cute if you look at them up close."

The atmosphere was silent for a moment.

The group turned around at the same time, showing puzzled expressions.

Qiao Qiao, are you awake?

"Don't look at me. I can't do anything about it. If we make too much trouble here, you will also be affected." Jon explained reluctantly.

Come to think of it, that's true.

Qiao Qiao's slashing attack is very sharp.

It would be bad if I got hurt by mistake.

"Is there no way out of our current predicament?" Chirchak bit his nails anxiously.

At the critical moment, the halfling with a very quick mind saw the mechanism next to him and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

But the problem came again.

The organ is accompanied by plant tentacles.

The tentacles of plants have strong paralytic properties, which can cause mild burns to the skin, or severe paralysis and temporary loss of mobility.

In this situation, what should he do to...

"You need to use your brain, Conan-kun." Just then, John suddenly came over and scared Chilchak.

Chilchak: "Hey, what are you doing? Now I'm pointing at the sword in your hand..."

"Don't worry, the sword has been given to Laos, look--" Jon pointed forward.

But Laos was really holding Jon's weapon and constantly threatening the big frog to retreat.

Jon said to Chilchak, "You must be planning to use the mechanism to wipe out all the giant frogs in one fell swoop, right?"

"I can't do it. There are too many tentacles." Chilchak was still biting his nails.

Jon: "Look at those frogs, aren't they safe and sound? This shows that..."

"Frog skin can make you immune to paralysis!" Chilchak understood immediately.

Jon pointed to the frog corpse over there, "So what are you waiting for? Go ahead."

"then you?"

Jon shook his head: "I already told you, I don't want to touch anything that disgusting."

Chilcak: ...

Forget it, now is not the time to worry about this.

As far as results go, Jon has contributed enough.

Well, it's time for him who can't fight to shine for the team!
