Chapter 10: Into the Dungeon
"What's the matter, Ryan. Let me sleep a little longer. Fitch pleaded in the tent.
It was not yet dawn, but the whole station was busy. It seems that everyone is more or less arranged. In the tent next to the tree, Ryan first came out of the tent, and then Fitch, sleepy-eyed and disheveled, the rudimentary staff of dead wood pinned to his waist at will.
"It's not dawn yet! Feige yelled.
"Then you can stay here alone. ”
Kara sat on a tree stump, eating her breakfast with a graceful manner, her green bow behind her back, the bowstring outlining her beautiful upper circumference.
Ryan handed Feige a pancake and water bladder, and said, "Eat it, we'll be off soon." I'll pack my things first. ”
"Where are you going? It's not dawn yet?" Feige didn't know.
"Set off for the Plaguelands. "Kara Dao.
"Ah, when was it?" said Feige, surprised.
"Last night when you were asleep. "Kara Dao.
"Ouch, then I'll have to hurry. After saying that, Feiqi got up and ran out while eating.
"Why are you going? "Kara Dao.
"Find Mo Yan's stupid big man. Isn't he going to go with us? Otherwise, we'll lose!" Feiqi said shamelessly.
Ryan shook his head helplessly.
When the hour approached, Ryan and the others came to the agreed place, and more than half of the people in the entire post station had already left, and this dungeon tour finally began.
In the rest of the crowd, Ryan saw all sorts of allies, large and small. However, only the team from the Holy See is still alone, and it seems that the Holy See disdains to form an alliance with any team.
The Dungeon Ready Alliance, led by the Blackgold Jack Mercenary Regiment, walks the town path to the Plaguelands. Because of the large number of people, the whole team lined up on the right side of the town road, and the noisy laughter and angry scolding were endless, after all, it was not an army, and there was no strict discipline for free mercenaries and thieves, but it would be a big mistake to deny the combat effectiveness of these teams because of this. You must know how many city-states and even countries in the pan-continent have been defeated by mercenaries and thieves.
"Brother Mo Yan, I think I'll push this wooden cart!" Lane tried to open his mouth several times along the way, but Fei Qi stopped him, but Ryan was really embarrassed to ask a berserker to push his luggage all the way.
"No need for Engong, this is what I should do. Saying that, Mo Yan pushed forward even harder, passing several positions of Ryan, as if he was afraid that Ryan would come to grab it.
"Ann, la, la. When you get to the place, you can thank the people. "Feige has no heart or lungs.
Kara was next to Ryan, wary of the eyes of the people around her with some disgust along the way, no way, there was only such an elf in the whole group, and it was so beautiful (according to the eyes of secular people, there is no elf that is not beautiful). To say that the greatest wish of human beings for their other half is to find an elf partner to marry. Not only can it effectively improve the bloodline of human offspring, prolong life, but also the key is sexual happiness, think about what kind of experience it is to have your wife forever 18 years old in the short life span of human beings. That's why mercenaries and thieves keep throwing longing glances at Kara.
The journey was very peaceful, and at first there were some mercenaries from other teams, and in the afternoon they went their separate ways.
According to the plan, Ryan and the others arrived at the outskirts of the southeast corner of the [Plague Lands] on time. Jack ordered the whole regiment to camp for one night, but the leaders of the regiments gathered in Jack's tent to discuss further matters.
Jack said: "According to the plan that can be formulated, we must reach the middle of the plague land tomorrow, in order to avoid accidents, my suggestion is to send a small team of stronger people first, leave marks along the road, if there are variables on the road ahead, you can also withdraw in time to discuss countermeasures, so as not to panic when the team arrives, and mess up." ”
"I'm in favor. "[Eagle Sky] The leader of the thieves group said in the air. "I'll lead the way. In terms of agility and adaptability, I am still confident. ”
Jack said: "Your Excellency Kongque can lead the team, and he is the best candidate." In this way, I will give Your Excellency a white-robed mage and three high-level warriors to respond. ”
"Good. Kong Que said: "I'll bring a few more high-level thieves who are my right-hand man." I think it's better to have as few people as possible in the first team. And the other regiments don't need to be out of the way. Squad coordination is more important, and I don't want to bring a team of people with too many ideas. Kongque said this truthfully, and everyone nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then the head of the empty group will take people to rest early. At that time, you will take people and set off. We waited until the end of the day, and the camp was advanced. ”
Then the group left Jack's tent together.
Maybe the [Dungeon] is just around the corner, and the mercenaries in the camp are talking in groups of three or five, and those who are talking and bowing their heads are endless.
Ryan, Feige, and Carla each chose to go back to their tents and rest early. There won't be a safer time in the future.
In the night sky, the moon hung high, and even without a campfire, the faces of the companions sitting opposite could be clearly seen.
The moon seems to be rounder.
The next day, it was Ryan who was the first to get out of the tent, but this time Feige followed closely behind, and his face was a little more serious.
"It's all good, whether you can make a lot of money depends on this time. "In the middle of the line. Feige said with a serious face. This is said with the majesty and love of a squad leader.
Only Kara said with a look of disdain: "Just don't die." ”
In the distance, the mercenary thieves led by Jack were busy in an orderly manner under the command of the leader. "Pull out the camp. With Jack's order, camps rose from all over the place, and a scene was in full swing. Ryan and the others finished cleaning the tent and sat on the side, quietly waiting for further arrangements. Half an hour later, the teams were finally ready to go.
Ryan Feige and the others were arranged in the middle of the team at Jack's behalf. Jack organized all the personnel into three long lines in an orderly manner, with him leading the way. The blonde thief Kim Puwangka was behind, while the rest of the regimental commanders and deputy regimental commanders were placed on either side of the ranks, ready to direct the battle.
"Ignition and go!"
"Bear," the sound of flames came and went. Every three meters, a torch is lit wrapped in miasma oil. Ryan was in the middle, and happened to be assigned the responsibility of lighting the torch.
The entrance to the Plague Lands chosen by Jack was a forest about three thousand meters deep, and although it was only three thousand meters, the trees were unusually tall and dense. Just as he stepped into the woods, a smell like a corpse was rotting. provoked Kara to subconsciously rub her nose with her fingers. Elves are the darlings of nature and are more sensitive to all kinds of smells, and stench is no exception. Ryan was right behind Kara, while Fitch was placed on Ryan's right, sandwiched in the middle by another fighter. Behind Ryan is the berserker Mo Yan and his two brothers.
"It's so quiet!"
The team had already traveled a thousand meters. Along the way, except for footsteps, there was not even a loud panting. It was obviously the morning sun, but when it was bright, the woods were gloomy and dim, and the interference of miasma made it impossible for people to go beyond ten meters.
"It's weird. It reminds me of the ghost stories adults told me when I was a child. "Xu is too quiet. Feige couldn't help but tilt his head to Ryan and said. ”
As if he hadn't heard, Ryan followed the group, but his eyes were fixed in one direction. Feige was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that Ryan ignored him, he also followed Ryan's gaze, but he couldn't see anything except the white expanse.
"What's wrong with you, is there anything over there?" Feige asked curiously, puzzled.
"About 30 meters in that direction, there were three skeletons with rusty iron blades wandering there. "It's Carla who speaks.
"30 meters away, such a big miasma, you can see it?" Fei Qi said.
"For the elves, the miasma is not enough to affect our vision. Kara said proudly.
"Hmph, I know you're amazing. Fitch ignored Carla and said to Ryan, "You can't see it, don't you tell me you're a human-elf half-breed." Otherwise, I'll turn my face. ”
"You're thinking too much. Ryan said: "I can see that miasma is the same as mist, and human beings can weaken their influence on the eyes through a certain amount of acquired training." And I'm not the only one who can see it. I believe that the leading head of the regiment, Jack, may see further. Don't you see that we're not walking in a straight line? ”
"Well, that's nice, if only I could go all the way to the entrance of the dungeon. Feige said with a grin.
"I hope so. ”
