I like crossing the most

Chapter 806 Treasure 4
Just as Xiaolin was sighing that a reliable person had joined the gang, an inappropriate voice suddenly came from the side.

"Wait a minute, why did you make the decision without my permission? I object!"

As expected, Aqua started to find fault.

The stupid goddess who was born to be at odds with the undead would do the same thing every time she encountered such a thing, tirelessly belittling the weak-minded lich girl and the clairvoyant demon Vanir. The latter was fine, but the former worshipped her like a goddess, so what on earth was she dissatisfied with?
Xiao Lin sighed helplessly and said, "What does it matter? Anyway, there's nothing wrong with Wiz coming along. So much time has passed, you must have gotten to know Wiz well, right? Why are you still dissatisfied?"

“This is a big problem!” Aqua stamped her feet and screamed, “I was just chased by the undead, and you’re serious about letting her get close to me? What if she chases me like those undead outside? What should I do? Besides, Wiz is here because of the guild’s commission, but she wants to share the reward with us! If we put her here, we can repel the undead and won’t reduce the reward. It’s killing two birds with one stone!”

Is this guy serious? To be honest, the stupid goddess really has no way to deal with the hordes of undead, but she can easily kill a weak witch like Wiz. Besides, the reward is not that stingy, and most of the next battles may be solved by Wiz.

“How, how could this happen!” The weak witch cried and yelled, “No, Lady Aqua, please take me with you! Don’t leave me here, please!”

Wiz seemed to feel aggrieved for being abandoned, and wanted to arouse the sympathy of the stupid goddess, but Aqua was bullying Wiz completely and didn't give her any face at all.

"Well, this... there is also the issue of compatibility. After all, they are a lich and a high priest."

"Yes, but Miss Weiss is too pitiful. If we leave her like this..."

Huihui and Youyou felt reluctant to leave Wiz here like this, so they looked at Xiaolin and said nothing, but what they wanted to express was obvious.

Darkness also asked, “What about the battle? Should we let Wiz join in as well?”

"Of course." Xiaolin agreed without hesitation, saying, "Wiz is a very powerful mage. Besides, she is the Lich King, so she is also good at dealing with the undead. How can we let her not join the battle?"

Indeed, if they bring Wiz with them, it would mean that Kobayashi and his team rescued Wiz, so they could have an excuse not to give her the reward in the end. But Kobayashi is not a stingy person, and compared to this little reward, Kobayashi is more optimistic about Wiz's fighting ability. So they can probably enjoy themselves from now on.

"Wiz, is this okay?"

"Yes! I understand. If I can help, I will do my best!"

"Okay, please."

In this way, Wiz successfully joined the team. The six of them formed a team, with Darkness and Krillin leading the way in front, Wiz on the left and Yoyo on the right, two mage turrets, while Aqua and Megumin were protected behind them.

Climbing up is a very troublesome thing. It reminds Xiaolin of a game where only men can climb to the 100th floor. Of course, it is definitely not as difficult as that game.

“Hoo…Hoo…” Huihui wiped the sweat from her forehead and said breathlessly, “Finally…Finally I’ve climbed halfway up the tower. I didn’t expect it to be so tiring…”

"Mei Hui, are you okay?"

"I can't do it anymore... Youyou, please carry me..."

The little girl felt her legs go weak. In fact, it wasn't just her. Youyou's condition wasn't that good either. In fact, if the battle consumed a lot of physical strength, it would be understandable and acceptable. But in addition to fighting, they also had to avoid the great terror - the Axis cultists. They took a lot of detours. Rather than fighting with the Axis cultists, they would rather take a detour and fight the undead!
"Wiz, are you okay?"

Xiaolin asked with concern. In the team, apart from the two great magicians who were exhausted, Wiz was the most tired. Not only was she a great magician, but she was also constantly fighting, so she might have felt exhausted.

“Ahahahaha…” Wiz said with a grin, “It’s okay for me, but if we keep going like this, everyone’s energy will be exhausted.”

I forgot that although the weak Lich Girl seems to have very weak physical strength, she is the highest-level lich of the undead after all, and she still has some physical strength.

“I, I won’t fall before Megumin!”

"Youyou hasn't changed at this time."

Huihui no longer had the energy to refute Youyou's insistence. Besides, competing in physical strength with Youyou, who was stronger than her, was the most unwise thing to do.

“Don’t make too much noise, or you’ll be discovered.” Xiaolin said to his agitated companions, “Avoid wasting energy and try to move as high as possible. I’ll support Huihui, and Yunyun, if you feel tired, tell me as soon as possible and I’ll help you.”

"Yes, yes... Thank you for your help, Mr. Kobayashi."

“Let’s change the formation. Darkness, please lead the way, and Wiz, please take care of Yunyun.”

Xiaolin gave instructions quickly.

Darkness nodded and said, “I understand. I’ll lead the way… Okay?”

She paused, and a particularly dim figure ran past her. It was almost invisible, but it still caught the attention of the Cross Knight.

"What was that shadow just now?"

"What's wrong, Darkness, did you find anything?"

Kobayashi asked curiously. He had just carried Huihui on his back and didn't notice Darkness's reaction. Seeing her expression, it seemed like something unexpected had happened.

"No, I hope it's just my illusion..."

Darkness shook her head and said hesitantly, “I just saw the figure of the Headless Knight Beldia on the stairs.”

“That Beldia?!” The Lich Girl Wiz was the first to exclaim, with an expression of disbelief.

Xiaolin raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it the Dullahan that you and Huihui went to find every day to cast explosion magic, and then I killed him?"

“Ah, yes.” Darkness nodded seriously, but soon shook her head and said, “But that’s impossible… because that guy was defeated a long time ago, wasn’t he?”

"Yes! It was my great activity that defeated him!"

"Your great activity..."

Xiaolin looked at the smug stupid goddess and couldn't help but sigh. Thinking of what happened at the beginning, he rolled his eyes and said, "Yes, the flood you released destroyed the city walls. Because of this, we had to pay a large amount of compensation, and then we were toyed with by that hateful noble uncle. After that, we aroused the hostility of the other party, and our warehouses and mansions were also confiscated...right, Aqua?"

"Shhhhhh..."

"Hey, don't try to fool me with a whistle that doesn't work. You don't think you can erase your mistakes this way. Admit your mistakes, idiot."

Seeing the stupid goddess who was shamelessly pretending not to care, Kobayashi felt even more helpless.

“But what exactly is this maze?” Darkness was a little curious. She looked at the deep passage and the Axis cultists swaying in the distance and said, “It’s ok to have a large number of Axis cultists, but this time we even saw a dead person, and it was the Headless Knight Beldia…”

“It’s not easy no matter how you think about it.”

"This maze must have some secret."

Huihui and Youyou said this one after another. The two of them are becoming more and more like twins, with frighteningly similar ideas and abilities.

“It’s all good.” Aqua, the idiot, didn’t want to care about that. She said loudly, “Let’s go find the magic stone quickly, and then go back to have fun… Hey, this is weird.”

"What's wrong, Aqua?"

Kobayashi found it strange that the stupid goddess had a stiff expression, so he asked subconsciously.

“Um…Listen, Xiaolin, there’s something familiar stuck to my feet.” Aqua looked like she was about to cry. She said, “It’s small and looks very annoying. It will explode if you’re not careful…”

"What are you talking about? When have we ever seen something like that before..." Xiaolin rolled his eyes and was shocked when he looked down. "Wow, it's Vanir's clay doll!?"

After seeing this clay doll, Wiz's expression suddenly became serious and earnest, and he quickly said: "Everyone, retreat quickly! This is a combat Vanir doll! Get out of the way quickly, it's very powerful!"

“For combat? Is it very powerful?!” Aqua’s expression froze. She said with a crying face, “Well… listen to me, why do I feel a familiar slight fever getting stronger? Hurry up and save me——”

Before the stupid goddess could ask for help, there was a bang, and the clay doll exploded instantly. Smoke suddenly burst out and filled the entire passage, choking everyone and making them cough continuously.

Kobayashi fanned the smoke and called out, "Hey, Aqua, are you okay?"

“…After I go back, I will definitely purify that guy completely. I mean what I say!” The stupid goddess, covered in dust, said this with a dangerous expression. Although Aqua always had a lot of opinions about Vanir, she seemed really angry this time.

“But it’s weird.”

Kobayashi looked at the floor, where the clay figure of Vanir had disappeared, but now there was nothing there.

"Yes, I find it strange too." Wiz said in surprise, "Mr. Vanir is obviously not in this tower, but the clay doll used for fighting appears in a place like this. Isn't it strange?"

"There's no need to fight, but Vanir's exploding clay doll appears..."

Xiaolin touched his chin.

With Vanir's ability, he could control his clay doll from a distance, but he didn't need to do so. In other words, even if he wanted to obtain some emotions as a dessert, there was no need to go to so much trouble. Moreover, this tower did not conform to the dungeon aesthetics of the Grand Duke of Hell.

"anyway……"

Krillin looked at the Axis cultists that were still swaying in the distance, and the figure of the Headless Knight Beldia that Darkness saw, and now Vanir’s clay bomb doll…

"It feels like I've seen all of this before."

"Xiao Lin! Xiao Lin!"

While he was thinking, Huihui tugged at his clothes in panic and called his name in panic.

"What's wrong? Why are you so flustered?"

"The explosion just now caused a large number of undead inside to run towards us."

"What did you say!?"

Xiaolin was a little surprised to hear this, but he calmed down and quickly gave instructions: "Wiz, please solve this problem! And Aqua, you should also help out!"

"I understand!" Wiz agreed without hesitation and said he would help.

On the other hand, Aqua stomped her hands on the floor in dissatisfaction, and yelled, "Wait, why are you treating me differently? Reward me! Reward me even more!"

"I'll reward you later!" Xiao Lin stepped forward and stood at the front, saying, "Come and help us quickly. Stop the undead first!"

"It's agreed!"

Only then did Aqua agree to help.

The Undead Army was ridiculously large, and even with the presence of two Undead experts, Aqua and Wiz, they still had a hard time fighting against the entire Undead Army and getting some breathing space.

"What's going on with this tower?" Xiao Lin panted and cursed, "This is too shameless!"

“Yeah.” Darkness felt the same way. She couldn’t help but say, “Not only the believers, but also all kinds of enemies. I really don’t know what to do.”

If it weren't for the abnormal female knight's ridiculous physical strength, holding the last line of defense, they might have been overwhelmed by the undead army.

"Hey, Huihui?" Youyou even said a little scared: "It would be better if we give up this time and go back to regroup."

“I, I’m not going back!” Huihui said stubbornly, “If you want to go back, Youyou, go alone!”

It is impossible to let the little loli give up the mission and return in defeat. Her recklessness is second only to Darkness and Aqua, so she will definitely not leave here easily.

Youyou exclaimed, "Hey, hey, hey——, a place full of enemies like that, it's impossible to go back alone, right?"

And at this moment——

"Ah! Everyone, the next enemy appears!"

“What is that…oh!?”

Wiz shouted loudly, and the others quickly stood up and prepared to fight. After seeing the attacking monster, their expressions all changed.

Aqua, Megumin, and Yunyun all had frightened expressions on their faces, but Darkness was extremely excited.

"Oh, that's... a giant toad!?"

"Come to think of it, it really does have an evil appearance..."

Wiz was also somewhat resistant.

Unlike ordinary giant toads, this one is black in color with repulsive little bumps on it, and it sticks out its tongue, looking extremely evil.
