Chapter 281 Thief Mask Family
Invader, a word that has been given a new meaning by the Sean Dungeon.
Now when these three words are mentioned, I am afraid that the first thing that comes to mind for people in and around Bed City is colorful spirits, weapons that look despicable at first glance, and various hoods.
That's right, hoods.

It seems that since the appearance of the "mysterious hood man", hoods have gained huge attention in the invasion and anti-invasion groups.
Whether it is active invasion or anti-invasion, people will take the initiative to choose a hood that suits them. Any style is fine, or tattered, or serious or funny. The most popular one is naturally the [slave turban] - or the thief hood.
As long as you see an invader wearing a thief hood, then the adventurer can know that this is safe!
Because those who wear this thing are either masters or newbies, and those who are neither strong nor weak have awe of the hood and dare not wear it casually.
Nowadays, the hood has become a kind of spiritual symbol. Sometimes when there is a conflict between adventurers, if both parties have the thief hood, they can laugh it off and forget the grudges immediately by showing it.
Of course, the biggest function of the hood is to hide the identity. The true face of the invader must not be discovered. It must not be. Important things must be said every day.
Every day, there are examples of invaders being beaten up because their identities are exposed by the hood. The bloody reality is here, and people have to call for the safety of the hood.
So the Sean Dungeon also launched the thief hood that will never fall off, which is very popular.
However, as long as the vest is removed, the invader will be beaten up, which shows the reputation of the invader.
But why do so many people still like to invade?
It’s because it’s more convenient to earn souls, and you can also get invasion rewards to exchange for oath rewards at the Soul-sucking Ghost Altar.
In the past, souls could only be used for upgrades after earning them, but since the opening of the Lake Lienia area, the uses of souls have suddenly increased.
Not only can you buy supplies from the merchant Kale and the rogue Xiage, forge weapons and buy primary forging stones from the blacksmith Andre, but even if you want to learn magic in some classrooms of the magic academy, you need souls, and some random events in the underground maze also require souls.
So, when the lake area was opened, more and more people were keen on the invasion gameplay.
Gradually, the invaders got to know each other, and finally formed a loose "Invasion Guild", occasionally accepting commissions to invade people who were rewarded.
Although the Invasion Guild is still in its initial formation stage and is in the process of brewing, its reputation is no less than that of the notorious Undead Association, Thieves Guild and other underground organizations.
That's why the Bed family did not launch the Invader series of peripherals, which would only attract infamy, and the previous batch of Soul-sucking Ghost statues were affected and unsalable.
As a product of the gray area, the existence of the Invasion Guild was soon known to the Light Eagle Group. After all, mercenaries are best at inquiring about such things.
For the purpose of "obstructing the exploration progress of the Sky Raiders Group", they placed an order.
Then, it evolved into the current situation.
"Why did you come back so soon? Still haven't found the target?"
Near the middle level of the Casas underground cemetery, Aston, the captain of the Light Eagle Corps' logistics team, looked at the returning "I don't like to eat rosemary" and asked.
According to the different exploration progress, people currently mark the Casas underground cemetery into three levels: upper, middle and lower. This does not mean that it has only three levels, but a general summary.
Currently, they are trying to sort out the upper level, explore the middle level, and open up the lower level, but in fact, every team that goes deep into the lower level soon dies and comes back, which shows the danger below.
By the way, they don't know about Elsa's exploration.
In order to speed up the progress, the Light Eagle Corps selected more than a dozen teams, each of which is full and equipped with professional dungeon explorers. In addition, there are scattered mercenaries entering the dungeon to try their luck. They don't have war missions now, and visiting the dungeon is also a good pastime.
Anyway, the consumption of teleportation crystals can be reimbursed.
However, Aston is not at the forefront of the development at this moment, but instead takes on a special task.
The dozen people who came down with him were all invaders!
Everyone tried to invade again and again, hoping to find the Sky Raiders Group. This method was slow, but there was no better way, right?
"Found it, but never beat them. They were too strong." I don't like to eat rosemary. I shook my head and walked straight to the way out of the dungeon.
"What are you going to do?" Aston asked in confusion.
"I quit. There's no need to fight an opponent you can't beat. I'll return your wages to you in a while." He waved his hand casually and winked at the other invaders.
"I quit too. I've spent a day and still haven't found it. It must be that the gods didn't bless me with this order."
"I'm leaving too."
In the blink of an eye, several invaders left, which made Aston stunned. He couldn't help but think: Do these people work so casually?
If he looked carefully, he would find that the invaders who left were all "old people" with certain experience, and those who stayed were all rookies. They didn't know what would happen next.
The old people were too lazy to give them any hints, after all, everyone likes to have fun.
"There is no sense of contract at all, adventurers are just unprofessional."
Aston didn't want to waste any time trying to retain him. In his opinion, hiring intruders and the like could only be regarded as additional means. To truly win the game, you still had to rely on real materials - that is, the exploration of the dungeon.
From the information of the Light Eagle Regiment, the public has only discovered the most obvious route next to the bonfire in the tomb. The Skyrim Strategy Team is also exploring there, and it is temporarily called Route 1.
This news was very beneficial to them, because they discovered Route 2, which was some distance away from the bonfire in the tomb and was winding, but it did lead to the lower level.
They divided the exploration team into two, and explored both routes at the same time. Coupled with the numerical advantage, the exploration speed may not be slower than that of the Skyrim strategy team!
Hehe, he really couldn't wait to see the expressions on the Skyrim strategy team's faces when they came up with the information about Route 2 that no one knew about. It must be very delicious!
"You guys work hard for me and don't be like those guys who left without the spirit of contract. I'll give you a salary increase."
This naturally received cheers from the invaders, and Aston puffed up his chest. Apart from anything else, the Light Eagles really had a lot of money.
【Invaded by the intruder "I like to eat rosemary"! 】
"Um?"
The smile on his face suddenly disappeared. What was the situation? How could someone so blind dare to invade them!
[We were invaded by the intruder "How about playing the invasion for the rest of your life?"! 】
【Invaded by the invader "Invincible Bede God of War"! 】
In an instant, three dark spirits appeared in front of Aston and refreshed their faces!
Aston smiled evilly and pulled out the hammer from his waist. He wanted to give these intruders the most terrifying death and let them see what cruelty is.
But he didn't notice that when the three powerful men appeared, the people he hired who had been busy with the invasion were stagnant in place and did not dare to move. Some people also hurriedly opened the door to escape the invasion in order to avoid danger.
Strange, why is this?
"Is your name Aston?" The Invincible Bader God of War pointed at Aston and pulled out the backhand sword from his waist. The war ashes attached to it were called [Dead Angle Blow].
"Wait for the shit to go west." Playing Invasion for a Lifetime licked the dagger in his hand, but his real special skills were the miracle called [Force] and the prayer called [Rejection].
"Kaka." I like to eat rosemary and wordlessly loaded the two consecutive crossbows. The crossbow arrows with various effects were shining brightly on my back.
The three thieves' hoods were shining.
"I'm not afraid of little bastards like you!"
Aston yelled "Come together!", and took the lead in drawing out his weapon and smashing it, causing cracks on the ground with one blow.
Why was the ground hit? Because he didn't hit anyone at all.
"Hey, a hit from the dead center!" The intruder lowered his body, his figure was as erratic as a ghost, Aston quickly raised his weapon to block it.
However, the intruder suddenly appeared behind him and pierced his waist with one blow!
"ah!"
Aston was injured and shocked. What a strange combat skill this was. Why did it appear in a blind corner that he couldn't defend?
The next second, crossbow arrows came like a violent storm. He turned his weapon to block it, but a smoke bomb exploded at his feet, and thick smoke suddenly rose.
not good!
"Your ass is mine."
Suddenly there was a salty sound behind him, and the miraculous [Force] exploded behind him, and a powerful shock wave immediately pushed him away.
"Oh, I used too much force and accidentally pushed him out of the fog."
Aston fell to the ground in embarrassment. He covered his bleeding waist while glaring at those who were standing by and said angrily: "What are you doing? Why don't you come and help!"
"Boss, it's not that we don't want to, but" the man stammered:
"Anyone who dares to use these weird nicknames must be strong people. We can't afford to offend them!"
What a strange unspoken rule this is!
Aston almost spit out blood, and regretted not bringing the brothers of the Light Eagle down with him this time.
At this moment, the intruders were chasing after them with strange smiles, and they felt so oppressive that he could only glare at the people standing by, grab their weapons and run away quickly.
Crossbow arrows of various colors were continuously shot from behind, and even if he tried his best to dodge, he would inevitably suffer losses. Sometimes he would feel sleepy after being hit by the arrows, sometimes he would bleed profusely, and sometimes he would be appended with negative effects such as burning/paralysis/freezing and so on.
He finally fought back and killed an intruder, but in the end——
【Intruder.】
New people invaded immediately.
He couldn't imagine how many intruders were lining up to stab him in the waist right now, and they were all amazing old men whose strength was no less than that of elite adventurers!
Looking at the endless number of invaders, Aston felt a deeper despair than when Master Kent fell into dementia.
Did I blaspheme the gods today? Why did all the invaders come to me?
No, actually the intruders didn't all come to him.
Throughout the day today, everyone who was active in the Casas Underground Cemetery reported that the number of intrusions had greatly increased.
But many intruders just took a look and left without attacking anyone at all, which is very strange.
Because they all went to fight against the Light Eagle Regiment, the mercenaries were targeted like never before.
It is clear that their specialty is to kill people, but for some reason, when they are on the line with the invaders, they feel like they are the challengers.
The opponent's technology and ability to fight people are actually better than these mercenaries! ?
What a joke, why did the mercenary profession that we are proud of become inferior to the invaders!
And why did these guys target us!
If you want to blame them, blame them for provoking adventurers. After all, the most prominent feature of adventurers is to gather together for warmth, even the notorious invaders are the same.
The first Gwangju. No, it was the Sean Unlimited Invasion Competition that started, and all the victims were mercenaries.
Under the torture of the Dark Spirit General, the exploration speed of the Light Eagle Group was greatly reduced, the progress was repeatedly delayed, and the medical expenses and other expenses were much higher.
When the mercenaries who were tortured to numbness became familiar with the invaders' routines and began to counterattack in a planned and effective manner, gradually suppressing the invaders.
The end deadline of the competition has arrived.
Although it was decided at the beginning that whoever defeated the boss first would win, it took too long, so a condition was added in the end.
The one who explored the most before the specified date would win!
