Chapter 712

After cleanly finishing off Loren, the Hero Fastken looked at Tang Luo and said, "Kid, being an adventurer isn't an easy thing."

Tang Luo looked at the Hero: "Two points. One, I'm not a kid, I just develop relatively slowly."

"Hah?" The Hero froze for a moment; he'd heard of developing too quickly, but developing slowly — isn't that a dwarf?

But the difference between a dwarf and a child can still be easily distinguished.

Isn't the other party just a child of around ten years old?

"Second." Tang Luo swept his gaze over the Hero and his team, "Your team looks good; want to team up with me and become the continent's strongest adventurer party?"

The Hero burst out laughing involuntarily.

I'm getting old; are kids all like this nowadays?

Beside them, a burst of laughter erupted, along with murmurs of discussion.

"This brat is pretty smart."

"Yeah, knows to hug the Hero's thigh."

"Don't say it; if I had this chance, I'd hug it too."

"Forget it; Lord Hero will have to fight the Demon King in the future, the future will inevitably be extremely dangerous, don't go dragging him down."

"Right, I feel that being a person and an adventurer, one should still be self-reliant; of course, it's not that we're afraid of the Demon King."

The Hero scratched his head somewhat helplessly: "Then be careful on your adventures from now on."

"I'm not joking." Tang Luo said, "Doggy."

Xiaotianquan jumped down from Tang Luo's shoulder.

The Hero and his group saw that this was a special little beast, looking a bit like a cat and a bit like a dog.

It should be some kind of special magic beast; as for exactly which magic beast, the Hero and his little companions couldn't recall.

No impression at all; it seems to be an undiscovered new species.

Beast Tamer profession; the beasts tamed are naturally magic beasts.

Ordinary wild beasts aren't impossible to tame, but their combat power is too low, so there's no need.

The utility of magic beasts is far greater than that of ordinary wild beasts.

Xiaotianquan clearly aroused everyone's curiosity; not only the Hero's group, but even the surrounding adventurers crowded over to look.

A few people's eyes were rolling, seemingly appraising its value.

Yes, just by looking at its appearance one can appraise it; this kind of small, cute magic beast, if not very threatening, even if it has no use at all, can sell for a high price.

Sell it to those noble young ladies and madams, make a fortune.

Quite a few people had already started scheming for Xiaotianquan, and some for Tang Luo.

Where did this brat get this kind of magic beast? Must find out, so they can go get a few too.

A portion of adventurers are those who yearn for adventure, who yearn for freedom.

But more of them still value money.

Nonsense; although adventurer is a relatively popular profession, it's also a considerably dangerous profession.

Without huge profit incentives, how could there be so many adventurers?

Adventurers doing decently can retire after ten years or so, enjoy life, and enjoy their "golden years."

Those doing a bit worse also find it relatively easy to get work after retiring.

For example, the Adventurers Guild likes to recruit some experienced adventurers; new adventurers also need teachers.

Even more miserable ones basically just die on the road to making a name for themselves, not even needing to worry about a "retirement life" afterward.

"Transform." Tang Luo ordered Xiaotianquan.

"Awoo!"

Xiaotianquan let out a delightful, milky cry.

The smiles on everyone's faces hadn't fully bloomed before they turned to astonishment, even horror.

And they involuntarily retreated outward.

Black flames burned past; Xiaotianquan transformed within the flames, a giant beast the size of a house crouching on the scene.

Protruding snout, triangular ears; it looked like a giant wolf.

Black flames burned at its four limbs and tail, emitting a heart-palpitating, ferocious baleful aura.

Quite a few adventurers involuntarily assumed defensive postures.

The Hero looked up at the giant beast before him; his dull eyes gradually blazed with brilliance: "So cool! So cool, Uncle!"

Uncle Arthur wasn't as excited as the Hero; on the contrary, the shield on his back was already in his hand.

Feeling he himself might not be able to block this dangerous shape-shifting magic beast.

Xiaotianquan disdainfully swept its gaze around, then raised its head; black flames swept out again and vanished.

A cute little beast appeared, jumping back onto Tang Luo's shoulder.

"So amazing!" The Hero ran up to Tang Luo.

"How about it, want to team up with me?" Tang Luo asked.

"Definitely!" The Hero extended his hand, "I'm Fastken, certified class is Spellblade, actually know a bit of everything; currently the Hero, planning to go subjugate the Demon King later."

Optimistic, hearty, and a bit chuunibyou.

This Hero, how to put it, is a bit different from what Tang Luo imagined.

He originally thought the demon race was this funny and miserable, so the Hero might be some great villain wearing a cloak of justice.

Now it seems it's actually both sides' clowns matching wits and courage?

"Anubis, the continent's number one support, number one Beast Tamer; also, I'm not a child, just developed relatively slowly." Tang Luo emphasized again.

"Understood, understood." The Hero laughed heartily, introducing his little companions to Tang Luo.

Childhood friend mage Merlin and rearguard heavy warrior Arthur.

Another elf named Kailan, certified class is Ranger.

Ranger is a class above Archer; besides having considerable ranged attack capability, it also has melee capability.

It belongs to the combination of Assassin and Archer, not specializing in any one, development is relatively balanced.

The demons say she is an Assassin; the intelligence cannot be said to be wrong, only that it is not especially accurate.

"Our adventure party is Gold rank, jointly certified by the three adventure guilds Rose Sword, Fran Kingdom Guild, and Hand of Wealth!" Hero Fastken raised a thumbs up.

Adventurer class ranks, and adventure party ranks, are all certified by adventure guilds.

Any adventure guild can certify.

Only whether other people acknowledge this guild's certification is another matter.

The three adventure guilds the hero spoke of are all the renowned kind.

Rose Sword's predecessor was a powerful adventure party; after transformation it is very popular with adventurers, has quite a bit of an "insider" feel, and developed rapidly.

And behind the Fran Kingdom Guild is the Fran Kingdom, a powerful nation.

Behind Hand of Wealth is the "Hand of Wealth" chamber of commerce; this chamber's members are spread across almost every country on the continent.

These two guilds are both members of the top ten adventure guilds.

Certification gold content one hundred percent; a random guild's certification would be enough.

Let alone two.

"I have no certification, because I'm too strong." Tang Luo was extremely smug, "I don't need an adventure guild's certification to prove myself; rather, the guild needs to certify me to prove their certification's gold content."

Words even brain-dead fans wouldn't dare boast, Tang Luo just righteously slapped onto himself.

What is called shameless? This is it.

Hero heard this, tiger body shook once, suddenly laughed loudly: "Hahaha, exactly! Well said! As a strong person, one should have this kind of spirit! A strong person must defy heaven!"

He reached out and clapped a hand on Tang Luo's shoulder, kindred spirit!

Tang Luo looked at Hero Fastken, sand sculpture!

Uncle Arthur and elf Kailan at the side exchanged a glance, hot-blooded man meets arrogant madman.

This team feels like it's done for.

As for childhood friend Merlin, eyes flashing little stars, gaze nailed to the hero unable to look away.

Surrounding onlooking adventurers then averted their gazes one after another.

Don't know why, suddenly a bit worried about this hero flipping the car on the Demon King.

This hero, can he really be like previous heroes and kill the Demon King, once again dispelling the demons' ambitions?

Speaking of which, the previous hero has been dead for many years; otherwise maybe he could come out and show off a couple moves.

Just as they were conversing.

A sound came from the ruin entrance.

The great doors opened.

"Opened, go, go!"

A group of adventurers rushed into the ruin in a scramble.

After the ruin was discovered, the entrance was not simply left open continuously, like a public toilet letting people come and go freely.

Rather, it stays open continuously within a certain time period; the closer to discovery, the shorter the first opening time, and the longer the unstable intervals between each other.

Later the time will slowly grow longer, then reach the degree of fully open.

If the ruin opens and you go in but cannot come out in time, you have to wait until the next opening.

And during the time the ruin closes its doors, living things inside will have varying degrees of strength increase.

Much more troublesome than the open-door phase.

This ruin currently has an open-door time as long as three hours, interval time between ten to fifteen hours.

Hero's luck is obviously not bad; just arrived a few minutes ago and the ruin opened its doors.

First batch of adventurers scrambled into the ruin; the remaining adventurers were not so urgent.

Those rushing in are mostly first-timers entering the ruin, and a small portion are those who found something good last time but couldn't take it for various reasons.

Also felt the ruin after closing is too dangerous, so came out first.

Naturally now they want to go in early, to avoid being beaten to it by others.

This opening, didn't see anyone come out; probably last time everyone came out, or they're still staying inside.

"Charge charge charge!"

Hero didn't delay long, quickly also led his team into the ruin.

Behind followed quite a few people, probably wanting to pick up some bargains.

Gold adventure party's strength, among adventurers currently exploring the ruin, even if not first, is top-tier level.

Plus the beast tamer Anubis who popped out.

Without doubt, currently in the ruin, Hero's "Heavenly General Divine Soldiers" adventure party is the strongest.

"This time again no preparation at all?" Kailan behind couldn't help but say.

"No problem." Hero showed a dazzling smile, "We are the strongest! The strong don't need preparation!"

Supremely confident Hero strode ahead in big steps.

Tang Luo watched his back, suddenly clapped hands, understood; turns out not simply a sand sculpture chuunibyou, but a Hero with Long Aotian attributes!

Think carefully, Hero this natural profession to fight Demon King and save people, fits Long Aotian very well.

Could it be, the first Demon King wasn't a Demon King, but the Light God?

That is the standard enemy for Long Aotian.
