Chapter 233: Gravel Wasteland
Like a gentle mother, the Rubble Wasteland encircles the entire city of Lugoin, bordering Camp Rog to the west, the hub of the Western Desert and the Misty Forest, the Twin Seas to the east, bringing thriving fishing to the Western Kingdoms, the legendary Tarasia Necropolis to the south, and the mountains of the Rim to the north, where terrifying birds of prey and monsters of prey are all over the place, and even the forces of hell cannot intervene.
It is such a superior geographical environment that can create a world-famous commercial city like Lugaoin, and it is also one of the five major gathering places for adventure.
As the name suggests, the gravel wasteland is actually a vast Gobi, where the ground is full of gravel and rock, brown soil and greenery are intertwined, revealing the breath of life in the desolation; Strange stones stand in a forest, some are erected high, like human heads, some are strangely shaped, close to all kinds of animals, the stone wall is distributed like ants ** like dense interlaced texture, as if countless trickles have been washed out by 10,000 years, the guests who came to the Gobi for the first time all feel admired for these natural landscapes.
However, in the rubble wasteland, the most spectacular thing is not these natural scenes, nor the towering city of Lugoin that rises like a giant on the flat ground, but something more special outside the city.
Dragon, more accurately it should be a dragon bone, in some places in the gravel wasteland, it is easy to find some huge broken bones half-buried and half-buried in the soil, these broken bones are surprisingly large, even a broken bone similar to the shape of a little toe is thicker than a human thigh, but this is nothing, the entire dark continent is full of demonic beasts, and there are no less than hundreds of monsters the size of a small mountain in humans so far.
But. If you continue to walk forward, your eyes will involuntarily widen, and as the broken bones gradually become complete, a faint outline slowly takes shape in your mind—lizard-like skeletons, solid and tall limbs, dozens of knots of thick bones with at least a hundred meters of tail, and correspondingly, a slender and flexible neck. Even if it is just a skeleton, it still exudes a proud and majestic head.
This qiē is put together, forming a huge and terrifying black shadow in the mind, it is the strongest in the entire dark continent, the emperor of the demonic beasts, the lord of the sky, its name is - dragons, dwarves, elves and orcs and other special races. Their whereabouts are mysterious, but they are still traceable, except for dragons, who have lived only in books and legends in the history of mankind. No one has ever seen where they are, but there is no doubt that they are real.
Legend has it that they are the darlings of God, and apart from their appearance, they possess a qiē rival to angels. Even more than the power of angels. Their lifespan is incalculable, and any dragon that is more than a thousand years old, even the real Andariel has to retreat when he sees it, and their strong and huge bodies, the terrifying power of destroying miè qiē, and the pride and majesty of being at the top of the food chain are the best portrayal of them. And the so-called Earth Dragon Slayer Warriors. To put it bluntly, it's just YY, or in fact, it's just a monster with a dragon character - of course. Don't underestimate any Warcraft with the word Dragon, as the strongest dragon in the minds of humans, any Warcraft that is crowned with the word Dragon has a very terrifying strength.
But as a Mighty Dragon, why are their corpses left in the Gravel Wasteland, and in such large numbers? Why were these corpses dumped into the wilderness, while the proud dragons ignored them, leaving the corpses of their companions to endure countless days and nights in the desert? No one knows, but perhaps this will be passed down from generation to generation as an eternal mystery in human history, and then woven into countless versions for entertainment.
Walking in the direction of the increasing density of the dragon's bones, when I thought that the shock in my mind was too great to be overwhelmed, the things in front of me gave perhaps the strongest shock in my life.
Mountains, mountains? No, it's not, it's a skeleton, a complete skeleton, you can't see the head and tail at a glance, and the body lying on the ground alone is hundreds of meters high, and it looks like an undulating mountain range.
It walked there quietly, the strength brought by the huge body was enough to make anyone hold their breath, for fear of disturbing its soul, even after countless time erosion, the bones were still crystal clear, revealing a jade-like brilliance, the sand and stone composed of its *, the howling wind made it breathe, its head was raised proudly, like a roar, as if it could come back to life at any time, exuding a spectacular sadness that made people unconsciously tear their faces, desolate and helpless.
It is impossible to know why it died here, what force could kill it, and why it was so intense before it died that it could still make people cry after countless years. But one thing is certain, it must be the best even among the dragon clan, absolutely strong, absolutely invincible for human beings, and this is enough.
I bowed deeply in the face of this skeleton, I believe that any adventure that has ever been here will involuntarily do so, this is a contempt for the strength of my own unattainable, but also a pity for its unfulfilled wishes, only after truly seeing this skeleton, can we understand how weak a creature is human, that pride as a change of profession, as ridiculous as a frog at the bottom of a well.
This is one of the famous miracles of the Dark Continent - the dragon skeleton of the Western Kingdom, and the adventure of coming to Lu Gaoin, if he hasn't been to worship it, he is embarrassed to say that he has been to the Western Kingdom.
Another spectacle was the huge stone statue standing in front of my eyes, although only the head remained, but the head alone was more than five meters high, and it was impossible to imagine how large it was when it was once complete.
However, the most eye-catching is the carving of the stone statue, the carving of this stone statue head is obviously an authentic Lu Gaoyin person, the face is full of curly beard, the head is the iconic turban, even the smile of the stone statue head is also with Lu Gaoyin's unique boldness and enthusiasm, the whole statue head is delicate and neat, and the degree of completion is extremely high. Even the dense beard has been carefully carved, which shows the craftsmanship of the craftsman.
But what makes people quite speechless is, why carve such a strange thing? It is said that it is a carving, which still has some representative significance and can reflect the value, but the problem is that there is more than one similar stone statue in the entire Western Kingdom, and the carving in the east and west is like graffiti everywhere when a child is bored. Whether this reflects the level of carving of ancient Lu Gaoyin's craftsmen, or whether it is a subtle hint of their boring Cheng dù, I can't tell anymore.
At this moment, I emerged from the shadow of the huge stone statues that had been slanted into the ground after the collapse, and whether or not the carvings were meaningful, at least they were useful for enjoying the shade.
After more than two months of chasing down the depravity, with the efforts of me and some other masters, after losing dozens of companions. The most obvious change is that in the bars, there is little gossip about it, and the villagers in the shadow of death, who have lived all day after the god's birthday, can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
If you think about it, it's been almost three months since I left Rog's camp. A surge of homesickness became particularly intense under the traction of longing for Veras and Sarah, and I longed to return to my little white tent now, and take the gentle and lovely Veras into my arms, feeling her soft and tame body. Listen to Sarah's melodious laughter again. And that smile with the brightness of an angel.
Still, no matter how much this strong desire tempted me, I had a reason to wait a little longer—not to meet them immediately with this cold body stained with blood, but to wash away all the disgusting and frightening things from my eyes, even if there was even a little, and I didn't want to frighten Veras and Sarah.
However, this idea of mine was also complained by the little ghost.
Xiao Fan, you wife lover. Pedophilia. Am I not your lover? Why can't you just think about whether I'm scared or not? She covered her cheeks with her hands, looking aggrieved and devastated by the blow.
Well. Being able to say this kind of thing already means that you are fine, besides, what's wrong with loving your wife? It's normal, right?,Every man should love his wife.,What's wrong with Lolicon? It's also very normal, every man should ......, ahem......
Just as I was making up my mind, Xiaoxue, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, leaned down and sniffed on the sand, and then roared fiercely in a low voice as if something had appeared.
Is this feeling ......? I watched Xiaoxue's movements, and my brows couldn't help but furrow.
"Tom... Tong... Tom ......"
Just when I had a headache, dozens of dull popping sounds sounded as expected, and between the 100-meter range of me and Xiaoxue as the encirclement, nearly 30 sand pillars suddenly rose into the sky, these sand pillars were washed up to a height of more than 10 meters, and the bursts of sand and dust raised gradually blurred the vision, and with the sudden explosion of more than 30 sand pillars, a group of monsters as disgusting as toads, but with slender and flexible limbs, jumped out from under the sand.
Compared to the shocking dragon corpses and laughable stone statues of the Gravel Wasteland, the monsters here are nothing but as cute as they are.
The carrion-eating bird, a monster shaped like a vulture, exudes a disgusting smell of decay all over its body, especially when attacking with a large mouth, it is even more disgusting, the claws stained with disgusting flesh, even the adventure that makes the body strong have to wonder if it will be infected with some terrible viruses and bacteria if it is scratched, in short, this is an ugly appearance, unhygienic, very disgusting monsters, they like to feed on rotting corpses, of course, if it is a living life, they will turn it into a rotting corpse first......
There is another characteristic of carrionous birds, that is, flying, they are no more than semi-flying monsters such as blood birds in Roge's camp, blood birds can only fly in low altitudes, only carrion birds can be regarded as real flying, but this ability has not brought them any benefit, on the contrary, it has become the only cuteness in the eyes of adventure, because they are too greedy and the body is very bulky, so when flying, they absolutely have nothing to do with the word flexibility, which has undoubtedly become the best moving target for mages and archers, It's just an entertainment practice upgrade three correct.
Huntress - I also encountered it when I was on the third floor of the sewers. With a flaming red cockscomb head, a furry monkey tail on the back, and a whip in her hand, the naked armor she wears is sexy, but the ugly appearance of the huntress completely fails the proper use of this rare armor, except for the monster-like version of the * queen, the huntress is average in every way, and there are no features worth mentioning.
Slinger - Throws a stone spear at a semi-long range. Monsters with strong attack power, this is an extremely dangerous monster, especially for the mage class, if they get close and are unlucky enough to become the target of a group attack, the anemic mage will definitely not survive the second round of throws, fortunately their throwing distance is not large, as long as they don't get too close to the mage.
And the fourth type of monster is also one of the two most perverted monsters in the entire Western Kingdom-Water Fat Warrior. Don't be fooled by their nasty name, they're half-human-tall, two-legged beetle-looking monsters that are terrifying about their threat to melee classes, dealing a physical attack on them every time or at the moment of death. The best way to deal with them is to use mage land spells, only spell attacks can prevent these water and fertilizer warriors from discharging indiscriminately, and use teammates with high lightning resistance to suck and block water and fertilizer warriors. Then the other ranged classes concentrate their firepower. Killing them one by one is the safest way.
If there is a lack of melee classes in the team, the mage will definitely be threatened when facing the slinger land, and on the contrary, without the help of mages and archers, the melee class can only look at the water and fat warriors and the carrion birds in the air.
At last. The last monster in the Gravel Wasteland. That is, the size of the toad I encountered now is similar to an enlarged version of the toad, but the difference is a monster with slender limbs - sand jumping. One of their main features is that they are annoying, very annoying!! For the transfer of jobs, their attack power is nothing, but the body is extremely flexible, the characteristic is that they are timid, almost a touch away, whether you attack it, or it attacks you, after the attack, they will quickly retreat, and then hang behind you to find a chance to strike again, patience is not enough, such as barbarians, often will be irritable by these small things, and even have the saying that they would rather single-handedly take on ten water and fat warriors than encounter a group of sand jumps......
Half an hour later, there were more than thirty ugly corpses on the ground that jumped on the sand, and in half an hour, under the full pursuit of me and Xiaoxue and the poisonous flower vine, it took half an hour to kill them all, which may be a very amazing speed for an ordinary adventure, but you must know that with the strength of me and Xiaoxue, even against a small boss-level monster. As long as it's not obscene, it doesn't take half an hour.
In addition, there is another feature of sand jumps that is simply enough to make people angry, that is, the poor and sour are terrible, with my current violent rate, more than thirty sand jumps have only exploded two gold coins, you can imagine the encounters of other adventures, these sand jumps can be on the list of the most unpopular monsters in the eyes of the Western Kingdoms adventure, it is not for nothing.
"Quack—"
At the beginning of the battle, the lazy crow that flew into the sky screamed, and in the gravel wasteland, the lazy crow that has been ridiculed by other pets was finally able to raise its eyebrows and exhale it, and it used its aerial flexibility to deal with those carrivorous birds that could make Xiaoxue also look up and sigh, only to call a Lisuo, only to call a proud, but after Xiaoxue destroyed a dozen carrivorous birds with a light rage, and rewarded a threatening look, the forgetful lazy crow immediately understood what the difference between dignity and inferiority was, I'm honest again.
Very good, to be honest, I'm worried that if it continues to be arrogant, maybe when it gets up one morning, it will have a few black feathers stained next to Xiaoxue's mouth.
From the message from the lazy crow, there seemed to be a small village not far away.
Well, okay, let's check it out.
I pondered for a while, waved my hand to cancel the summoning of the five ghost wolves and the oak wit, as for the lazy crow and the poisonous flower vine, one in the sky and the other in the ground, there is no possibility of being seen through at all, so except as a last resort, I have never canceled the summoning of them, in this world where everyone is in danger, it is necessary to be cautious.
Then, I took off my black cloak and put on a snow-white robe, and the little ghost, who had been tired of being in the necklace, came out with great interest, and went up and down for me like a little wife, from head to heel.
With a flick of my hand, I magically turned out a delicate book with golden light, the book seemed to have magical power, and the moment I held it, my body suddenly revealed a solemn and peaceful aura, yes, just like the noble and holy light emitted by the little ghost.
Holding the golden book in my hand, I reluctantly pulled a "kind and kind" smile on my face that had been tortured by the little ghost for more than ten days, and then strode in the direction of the village.
It's been a busy few days, so most of the manuscripts are completed in a hurry, maybe the quality is worse than usual, I hope you can understand.
