Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Gao De Needham and Luo Zhengdao were on a cruiser together, and before leaving, Gao De cautiously told the pirate leader who remained in the fortress, saying:
"Remember, to control the fortress fort, whatever those orcs want, just take them with them, you just need to keep the cannons and ammunition depots, and be sure to hold on until we return."
At the same time, Luo Zhengdao's expression subtly glanced at the shouting orcs, and then he turned his head to the entourage beside him and said:
"Your Excellency Sariel! Willa! Please stay in the cabin and don't show your face in public, these orcs are not friendly to elves or Yaling, and I don't want to have an inexplicable fight with them here. ”
Before leaving, after settling his internal affairs, Gaud Needham raised his arms and shouted:
"Put away the anchor chain and get ready to set sail! Ladies, wealth and glory await us, a new era is coming, please share this glory with me! ”
When Gao De proudly made an incendiary speech, Luo Zhengdao quietly avoided everyone's eyes and went down to the cabin lounge, at this time, as an ally, he was not suitable to be involved in the internal activities of other people's forces, as long as he could get his share of the benefits as scheduled, he would be content, a flock of birds in the forest is not as good as a bird in hand!
"Will, is it worth taking such a big risk for the sake of this treasure?"
Seeing this, Luo Zhengdao looked at the two beauties with different appearances and smiled dumbly, and said:
"What should I say? Well, the legend says that the value of this treasure is more than a million gold coins, and it was buried by my ancestor His Majesty himself, and the purpose is not clear, and the only thing we know now is that the treasure is indeed stored. ”
Luo Zhengdao is not the kind of rookie who has just come out to mix the rivers and lakes, others will believe it unsuspectingly if they say something gossip, and he has secretly sacrificed and used the "words of the prophet", and Luo Zhengdao knows more details about the inside information of the treasure of the Emperor of Light than Gao De. Since the other party wants to take the lead to do big things, there is no need for him to grab the position of the leading big brother. To be honest, Luo Zhengdao, who is a traverser, is not too interested in what throne, if it weren't for the fact that he faced the scourge of killing as soon as he crossed over, and the Second Goblin Empire was bent on his life, what kind of business would a traverser do casually would be so difficult that he couldn't live?
Steelmaking, glass, cement, as a traverser must learn this wasteland three-plate axe, Luo Zhengdao has only used two things, he has a lot of knowledge in his head can be transformed into golden wealth, he can't afford to work hard for a dragon chair that may not be comfortable to sit on, assuming that there is no threat of the curse of the gods and goblins, how beautiful this magnificent and fantastic new world should be!
"Everyone, pay attention, there is the entrance to the cave in front, and there is a complex maze at the bottom, if you get separated from the team, then don't think about coming out alive......"
Standing at the entrance of the dark cavern, Gaude Needham turned around and solemnly warned the participants of the treasure hunt not to underestimate the dangers of the treasure hunt, even if there were no interference factors from the enemy, the claustrophobic underground space alone was enough to pose a risk factor for death.
Under the abundant and vast Lord 6, there is a huge and complex cave system that is similar to the dark area, don't look at this hidden cave located at the foot of the mountain, it doesn't seem to be big, how much unknown space and how many forks in it is, it is estimated that even the Emperor of Light who buried the treasure may not be very clear.
The Commander of the Spirits, Sariel Byrne, is not interested in the treasure, and she worries about the safety of Luo Zhengdao, an important task entrusted to her by Her Majesty the Queen of the Spirits. Although Overseer Yaling is a great beauty, she is also a professional soldier with a strong sense of honor, and she does not want to leave the stain of the death of a protected dignitary on her resume.
Immediately, Saril snorted coldly and said:
"Your Excellency Gao De, you won't take us on an expedition unprepared, will you?"
Needless to say, even those brave men who still do not change their faces in the face of cold blades and dripping blood, when they think that they are about to enter a completely unknown dark realm, they may die in obscurity in the corner of the labyrinth at any time, not because they died in battle but are starved to death and thirsty, this tragic ending of life is difficult to accept calmly.
Gaode Needham looked around at the crowd, especially noticing the seemingly careless Luo Zhengdao, and couldn't help but smile slightly, and then he opened his arms and explained to the people:
"Hehehehe, please rest assured, I am fully prepared, as long as you obey my command, I guarantee that I can bring you back to the surface world safely."
In the old world, where technological progress is changing rapidly, what science can do, in the new world, magic can do all for it, and the biggest difference between the two is the popularity and price factor. If science can turn such high-tech props as computers and smartphones into cabbage prices, and the number of them is so large that they are rotten on the street, then it is no problem that magical artifacts can achieve the same incredible magical effect, or even ten times better than a hundred times. However, the cost of these expensive magical artifacts has always been a tragedy, and it is probably never possible to keep the price of magical artifacts down to the point that everyone has one for everyone, which is the reality of the new world.
After selling it slightly, Gaude Needham took out an artifact from the space bag and confidently introduced:
"Guys, this is the Living Point Map!"
Hearing Gao De's words, everyone present exclaimed in unison, and there was no doubt about it, as we all know, the magic of the living point map can automatically record and mark the special places passed during the journey, and it is a top weapon to deal with the maze. In the surface world, this thing has limited uses, and the cost performance is average, once it is in the dark and cold underground cavern, the value of holding this strange object in his hand is so great that it is equivalent to giving adventurers a few more lives out of thin air.
"Get out! We are pressed for time, and we hope you will not forget this. ”
Compared with the large number of pirate fleets, the treasure hunting team composed of Gao De and Luo Zhengdao's carefully selected personnel is not large, and it is only a little more than a hundred people when it is full, but in terms of quality, it is not comparable to the pirate fleet. This time, Gauder Needham brought two elven mages and three rangers as bodyguards, and sat in love with the Yaling Overseer Salyl Byrne who was following Luo Zhengdao. No matter what the leaders were thinking, the ordinary pirates who had worked hard to find the treasure and get rich overnight finally stood up, silently raising the illuminated crystals and torches, and the treasure hunting party walked straight along the cave where the stairs had been carved out by the previous people, and soon entered the intricate underground world.
As he walked, Luo Zhengdao suddenly felt a palpitation for no reason, after being in the new world for so long, he knew what this bad feeling meant.
Without waiting for Luo Zhengdao to speak, Gaode Needham, who had been on high alert, saw something strange from the map of the living spots, and greeted loudly:
"Be on your guard! The map shows that a big guy is coming towards us, and everyone is ready to fight. ”
In the New World, there is little precedent for treasure to be unearthed, and almost every treasure hunt is accompanied by killing and countless dangers, large and small. If adventurers don't fight to the last of their blood against the monsters that guard their treasures, or pay a terrible price, then they will be sorry for the hapless predecessors who have fallen under the monsters' claws and traps in the tavern minstrels' tales that have been told to this day.
"Goo-dong-"
"Purple worm! Beware, it's the purple worm coming! ”
At this moment, there was a sudden crisp sound of chain cracking on the rock wall near the left, and in the blink of an eye, a huge black shadow that occupied most of the people's field of vision flashed in front of their eyes, and the ground under the pirates' feet also trembled violently, making people feel unstable. At this moment, the power of the earthquake was truly terrifying, and the thought of being buried alive in the ground made people's faces immediately more ugly than the dead.
Many people could tell that they were encountering a larval purple worm, but when they saw the behemoth devouring a qiē with a large mouth with rows of jagged fangs as fast as a subway car, no one could help but shudder in their hearts. Indeed, there is probably nothing more frightening in the New World than in the underground world where you can't see your fingers, and you encounter a purple worm with a strong trembling perception, a surprisingly good appetite, and a never picky eater. Even if this monster has not grown to the size of an adult, it is destined to be a vicious battle.
At the same time as the pirates who were traveling with him, he saw the figure of the juvenile purple worm flashing in the dark underground space, and suddenly, Luo Zhengdao figured out why there was such a complex and changeable cave system under this mountain peak. The answer is not to be asked, it is the traces left by generations of purple insects that breed and multiply here, repeatedly drilling through the rock formations. Presumably, the senior traverser, the Bright Emperor, intended to hide treasures in this place, he must have taken a fancy to the fact that not only is the terrain extremely complex here, which is as easy to hide items as an ant nest, but also that there are ready-made free powerful thugs nearby to use, so he is relieved to boldly put his treasure in this seemingly ordinary place, didn't he think about it for the people who came to hunt for treasures? That's a bad idea, isn't it?
