Chapter 175: Elite Squad A young adventurous team, to be precise, a team composed of three young people and an old man, as we all know, the older the magician is, the stronger he becomes, and as long as the warriors do not reach the legendary level, then their physical condition will still gradually decline with age, although an eighty-year-old sword master can easily suppress a thirty-year-old great swordsman in terms of skill and experience, but if the two simply compete for fighting spirit and strength, then the sword master may also be abused by the great swordsman.
What Zhao Yannian is observing now is an elite team with a combination of three Dou Qi users who are at their peak and a battle mage who is actually fighting.
"Sid!
Don't be careless!
A young man with long blond hair shouted at a strong warrior who was battling a bear-like water elemental creature with a metal longbow, and then the young man let go of the bowstring in his hand, and at the sound of the metal bowstring, a bow and arrow glowing with magical light flew like lightning towards the warrior's back, just as another leopard-like elemental creature pounced on the heavily armored warrior.
"Whew!!"
The leopard-like water elemental creature was struck by a magic arrow, and several chains-like wind breaths bound the leopard firmly.
"Hahaha!
Orlando, if I have you behind me and I have to take care of the body, that's really a big deal!
"The short-haired warrior with a rugged face, as a pure human, this warrior takes a purely defensive route, the heavy demon-weary armor and the heavy sword shield in his hand need a strong body to support, after praising his partner, the warrior named Sid suddenly roared and pushed the giant bear's claws away, and then used the most famous move of a defensive warrior.
"Shield Strike!"
The inverted triangular mandarin shield that drew a lion standing up slammed into the bear's empty belly, and the strength and weight of the hoplite warrior actually flew the nearly one-ton bear out.
And just as the bear flew out, the black-haired warrior shouted into the empty clearing in front of him.
"Nora!
Beware of being smashed!
Just as the black-haired warrior gave a joking reminder.
A purple dagger stretched out of the air and stabbed into the water elemental bear's body quickly and accurately.
The giant bear stabbed by the dagger fell to the ground with a groan of pain and slowly stopped struggling, and a woman wearing an invisibility cloak appeared.
"Sid, I think you should be careful behind your back."
This woman named Nora has long silver-gray hair, but unlike the confused thieves of Zhao Yannian's family, this young lady is more wild and aggressive, and judging from the faint murderous aura on her body, this young lady is obviously not the kind of thief who lives on pickpocketing in the dark side of the city.
"What?
Am I careful behind my back?
Sid was slightly stunned by Nora's reminder, and then a leopard's roar came from behind him.
"Whew!!"
The angry Hydro Leopard had broken free from the magic arrows fired by the blonde archer Orlando, and after breaking free, the angry creature chose the nearest target to attack.
"Oops!
Hey, you're not going to just look at that, are you?
Sid was caught off guard and was suddenly pounced on by the Water Elemental Leopard, and the warrior who had lost his shield and heavy sword could only use his iron armor and fists to fight the Water Elemental Leopard in close combat.
"Didn't I say you should be careless?"
Orlando, with her long blond hair in a ponytail, throws an innocent smile at Sid, and the female wanderer named Nora seems to be planning to watch the excitement as well.
"Hey, Daddy Bloom, I know you're the only one in this squad, help me get this annoying big cat away!"
Sid grabbed the water elemental leopard's bloody mouth with his hand, and asked the old magician who had not made a move just now.
"Sid, even if you have strong defense, you have to think about your surroundings, Orlando is also for your good."
The long, white-bearded old magician struck his staff twice on the ground with a bit of laughter, and a cyan light shrouded the body of the water elemental leopard, and then the water elemental leopard floated like a balloon.
For the first time in his life, the water elemental leopard lost gravity, and he felt panicked and helpless, constantly kicking his limbs but could not find a place to borrow strength, and soon wailed and died under the attack of Sid, who got up.
After the battle, the group of four decided to rest on the spot and wait for tomorrow before continuing to set off, their team has entered the Water Tower for the third day, although the first floor has not been thoroughly visited, but the water elemental creatures in the first layer have been hunted by other exploration teams, tomorrow according to the plan they should go to the spiral staircase in the center of the first floor to the second floor tower.
Bloom, the old magician who had unleashed a lot of spells throughout the day, had returned to his tent to meditate, while Orlando, the hunter, had gone to the forest to set traps and never returned.
Only Sid and Nora were left around the campfire and hadn't gone to rest.
"Sixteen water elemental crystals, if we continue like this, we will soon be able to earn enough money to buy an alchemy airship."
Sid didn't care about the blood stains on the water elemental spar, and held it with his hand to feel the faint coolness of the water elemental spar.
"Yes, as long as we have the alchemy airship, we can go further away and adventure, and then we can get more gold coins."
Nora the Wanderer looked obsessively at the hedrons in Sid's hand, which seemed to the female wanderer to be mountains of gold coins.
"Nora, you still can't get rid of the habit of converting everything into gold coins, what we are looking for is a treasure that can make us stronger, and as for the gold coins, we can just have enough gold coins."
Sid lectured the female wanderer with disdain.
"Stupid Sid, my mother just likes gold coins, and you bite me!"

Nora raised her eyebrows at Sid's words and said to the warrior domineeringly.
"I don't dare bite you."
Sid immediately wilted after hearing the female wanderer's words, and secretly glanced at the female wanderer's lilac lips, and the warrior who could face the monster's bloody mouth without fear left the campfire.
"What a great beauty, why should you be a toxin assassin."
Sid mumbled into the tent with a bag full of crystals.
In the second half of the night, after Nora and Sid returned to their tent to sleep, the old magicians Bloom and Orlando sat around the campfire for the rest of the night.
"Daddy Bloom, have you noticed that the monsters in this tower are very clumsy?"
Orlando leaned against a tree with his metal bow in his arms, his quiver on his lap to keep him in combat mode.
"Maybe it's because of the lack of fighting for too long, I have examined the corpses of these creatures before, there is almost no food in their stomachs and intestines, and their lives seem to be sustained by the abundant magical elements in this tower, but unfortunately I am not a water mage, I can only barely analyze the energy sources of these creatures, but I can't understand their way of survival."
The old magician was sitting by the campfire looking at a somewhat worn parchment book, and his wand, which looked like a burning stick, was resting on his lap, and after hearing Orlando's question, the old magician looked up and explained to Orlando with some regret.
"Daddy, do you think there will be more powerful monsters in the towers on higher floors?"
Orlando nodded and asked after listening to the old magician's words.
"Higher monsters are inevitable, and any creature likes to distinguish between classes, even the Titans, and the rulers of the Titans will definitely live on the top floor of this tower, which should also be the place where the water element is most abundant.
That kind of place is possible to even produce the legendary Elemental King.
But don't worry, no matter how strong the monsters here are, they are only the ninth order, although we can't beat them, it's still no problem to escape.
The old magician was still very optimistic about climbing the tower, and explained with a smile after hearing Orlando's worries.
"I'm relieved, but we still have to try to avoid other teams, in this kind of place where there are no rules, humans are probably more dangerous than monsters."
Orlando waited for Bloom's explanation, and his expression was much more relaxed.
"You're right, we can only be safe if we act alone, and if we follow those large organizations, we will probably become their cannon fodder."
The old magician closed the book and nodded.
Early the next morning, after a morning trek through the jungle, the elite team came to the spiral staircase in the center of the tower, each step used by the Titans was about the same height as a human, and it would take a lot of effort to climb up, and it was not known what kind of material the Titans were made of, and even the earth magicians could not create a gentle slope on the ladder for people to travel.
The old magician's wind magic gave the elite team a lot of help, Orlando and Nora, who were agile, easily jumped forward on the stairs after receiving the help of light spirituality, and the heavy warrior Sid put his armor in the old magician's space bag at this time for safekeeping, carrying his heavy sword shield and wearing only a pair of shorts to climb the stairs, the height of five hundred meters was about two hundred and fifty steps, and it took two hours for the team to finally cross the illusory clouds and reach the second level of the Water Tower.
This is a misty world shrouded in water, and from time to time there are adventurers who have explored the first layer around them who are full of excitement to enter the fog.
The four-man team, fully equipped, slowly entered the fog at Orlando's command, but what they didn't know was that a pair of eyes were looking down at them in the sky.
