Chapter 284: The Ancient Path
When everything had settled down and they were almost familiar with the environment of Lugoin City, Lal and the others began to think about the experience, after all, this is the right thing for us to take risks, although it is not urgent, but if we let our body relax, it will be dangerous.
The four of them gathered around to make suggestions, and the advice I gave them was to go to the sewers, first familiarize yourself with the strength of Lu Gaoin's monsters, Lal is a paladin, Doug and Gev are barbarians, if they are combined, this team is also half a blood cow-type team, and the terrain of the sewers is still more suitable for them, even if they encounter the most troublesome burning death skeleton archers there, if the number is not too large, Lal stepped on an anti-fire aura, and the three of them rushed up with flaming arrows, once they rushed into the monster group, Skeleton archers with weak defenses are not the same as chopping vegetables?
In fact, such a three-person team is very unreasonable.,Because it's too lacking in long-range attacks and magic attacks.,A standard strong team,It should be long-range and close-quarters matching.,Physical and magic output must reach a certain level.,And like Ral, they form a hand-to-hand warrior team.,When the monster is not very strong in the early stage,,It can still flourish.,Once the strength of the monster in the back is improved,,It will become difficult to move an inch.,It's like some games.,It's easier to mix with warriors who are always bloody and high in the novice period., But it's different in the back.
Sooner or later, this flaw in Ral's team will come to the table, as for Ral's own thoughts, he thought of bringing a mercenary sword mage with him when he thought of the Kurast Harbor, so that the problem of long-range and magic output would be almost solved, of course, if he could find a transfer wizard. It is undoubtedly better and more powerful than the sword mage, but it is not easy to recruit after leaving the Rog camp, everyone has their own team, and mutual trust and tacit understanding are also a problem.
After some consideration, Lal accepted my proposal, but the three of them looked a little depressed, after all, they were going to drill into the sewers. It's not a last resort. Who wants to go to that hellish place?
After making a plan, a few of us began to get dressed, and my equipment had been repaired by Chasi when I returned to Rog's camp, but to my surprise, the Divine Staff dropped a little of its durability limit while repairing, and Chasi kept apologizing, of course, I wouldn't care about such a trivial matter. However, after this time, I finally realized that I still have to be careful to maintain and use high-end equipment in the future. You can't just take out a little monster and play around. You must know that even if there is a good blacksmith, the durability limit will inevitably decrease when the number of repairs increases, which is why there is no so-called heirloom equipment, unless you don't use it at all, or the equipment has an attribute that cannot be destroyed.
At this point, we were training at the training ground in Lugoyne, intending to get some feeling back before we left, and I was in a group with Lahr and Doug and Gerf. These two slivers. With two axes in each hand, they attacked each other wildly, as if they were not brothers but long-time enemies of life and death. Of course, axes are all training axes, and you might as well have something happen.
After slashing for a while, Geef was defeated first, after all, he was different from Doug, he did not take the extreme route, his route tended to be more balanced and changing, and he was naturally not Doug's opponent in this way of fighting against each other.
As for me and Ral, I am still suppressed by the other party who is four levels higher than him, there is no way, this is the gap between the orthodox-trained paladin and the halfway monk's druid, compared to Ral, who has received formal training since he was a child, no matter how ups and downs and adventures my experience in the past three years is, it is impossible to surpass him in terms of combat skills so quickly.
"Wu, your progress is amazing." Ral wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a sigh.
"Well, it's still a little bit worse than me." At the end of the battle, Doug and Geef also came up, and a few people seemed to remember the situation three years ago, when the first-level rookie druid circled around the first monster in his life, the rotting corpse, compared to that time, my progress now is undoubtedly amazing.
"Hey, that's." I rolled my eyes at Doug, who came up, and replied triumphantly, we have survived the abusive training of the old drunkard, and it is only natural that we will make rapid progress.
"Okay, let me try your strength too, and then I and Wu will be in a group, and Gefu will train with the eldest brother." Doug touched the two axes in his hand with a crisp sound of iron and blood.
Ral and I looked at each other and smiled wryly, the Barbarian was the least popular opponent in the first place in the battle training.
Finally, the day of departure came, and under the send-off of Aunt Sari and me, the three of them went into the dark sewer gate in turn, and before leaving, I added enough teleportation scrolls to them, and each of them stuffed a bottle of rejuvenation potion, as long as they did not send them to death in the lair of Rodament on the third floor of the sewer, the safety of the three of them was absolutely guaranteed.
After the three of them left, the days were even more deserted, even running to Aunt Sari to eat, it seemed to have become tasteless, Aunt Sari was alone on her side, so she simply moved to live with me, and she seemed to "see" Morisa again with her strong maternal love, speaking of which Morisa is a little bigger than Sarah, her appearance is equally beautiful, her body is also petite, and her breasts are equally ......, cough cough, gaffe, in short, ignoring the huge gap between the two temperaments and personalities, the two of them still have a lot in common, and now Sarah is not there, Coupled with the bluffing of losing her mother at a young age and being reduced from a princess to a maid, it is no wonder that Aunt Sari, who has nowhere to vent her mother's love, takes good care of her, but Morisa doesn't seem to have a big cold for Aunt Sari, is it true that only Sister Sharna is suitable for you? You're undertoned. Teach the little ones.
After more than ten days of doing nothing, I feel that my body has adjusted to the peak state, and I began to plan to go out to experience and upgrade, hunting four small boss-level monsters, to be honest, it's not that I'm arrogant, this task is not challenging at all, if it goes all the way, it can be completed in half a year at most, and then take a month's boat to the Kurast harbor. Get a glimpse of the primeval forests there, and spend another year completing the quest to get to the Fortress of the Demons......
Well, the dreaming time is over, start getting ready.
In terms of planning, our targets are the tooth skins on the second floor of the Temple of the Clawed Viper, and the exploding beetles in a distant oasis. These two mini-bosses are two of the most difficult of the six.
Of course. I'm not fighting the idea of challenging myself, it's just that because it's difficult, so it's less risky to fight, in addition to these two, there are also crazy bloody witches in the Temple of Death, without him, when I got the artifact Tarasia's Guardian Lacquer Armor, Tarasa left a message for me to go. After such a long time, it's time to fulfill.
As for the last mini-boss. I haven't decided yet. We'll talk about that then.
After saying hello to Morissa and Aunt Sari, I took the teleportation station to the Lost City, which is about four or five days southwest of the Lost City, which is the Pit Viper Canyon, and the Talon Pit Viper Temple is in the canyon, and the first target is placed here because I heard in the bar that Sister Sharna seems to have appeared here recently, and now she is a big celebrity in the Western Kingdom. No one knows the name of Queen Rugoin, and no one knows it. has almost become the number one gossip figure in the bar, and it is not difficult to inquire about her whereabouts.
It's been so long since I went back to Lugoin. It's time to meet again, so that my sister won't complain that I don't care about her, and think of my sister's gentle embrace, the fragrance of the body, the sweetness of the jade lips, the golden length, the blue eyes, the pure face, the fiery body, the leather whip, the candle, the rope......
Pander to......?! Am I revealing information that shouldn't be revealed?
After two days of wandering around the bar, I was determined to take no chances of challenging Tooth Skin recently, but then I smiled strangely - my sister should not have come this time for Tooth Skin, otherwise she would have robbed her monster again, and I don't know how she would punish me in a fit of anger.
The Lost City, according to legend, is a huge battlefield in ancient times, there are many corpses buried underground, of course, and then there is a huge number of ownerless equipment, which creates a profession that is not afraid of death - gleaning, this kind of profession seems to be quite mysterious, but to put it bluntly, it is worthless - that is, some civilians who are not afraid of death run to the outside of the city infested by monsters and the wind and sand to pick up the ancient equipment left behind, and the equipment in the gambling shop of the big profiteer Aegis came from this, ***, A broken sword earned me 4,000 gold coins, so you can imagine how popular this profession is, provided that you are willing to risk your own life to Bo.
As soon as I got out of the city, I met a huge army of gleaners, these people were afraid of death, but also wanted to make money, so they started work near the city, some people lay on the sand and groped carefully, expecting to find a ring necklace that was ignored by other gleaners, some people took shovels and dug down desperately, always thinking that the deeper the place, the greater the chance, no matter what era, money can always make people crazy.
It is estimated that after half a day, the monsters began to appear, and there were fewer gleanings, and most of the gleans that appeared here were the kind that did not die, and they continued to move forward with the corpses of their companions under their feet, either wealth, or were swallowed by monsters, or were annihilated by the wind and sand of the desert.
The first group of people who appeared in my sight was a group of plunder, this group of four-armed skeleton monsters, in fact, is the binary body of the Sand Knight, just like the relationship between the Sinking Demon and the Little Devil, although the strength is stronger than the Sand Knight, but the attack method is still old-fashioned, the four big knives will be cut off from the top of your head without saying a word, if the number is large, it really feels like the blades are falling.
In addition to plundering, there are nocturnal tigers, huntress binaries, whips in one hand and shields in the other, and the attack and defense are very balanced.
Crawling in the cemetery, the binary body of the desert jump, is still a touch of retreat, far away ** harassment, depressing to the extreme, the most like to hide under the sand to sneak up on passers-by, most of those gleaning are killed by them.
The night slinger, the binary body of the sling, throwing a spear with a shield in one hand and the other hand, the experts have not studied it until now, where did the spears of these slings come from? Cast and cast, as if there is no end, do they also have inventory like we ventured? This is indeed a research value, so let the experts worry about it, it is worth mentioning. There is actually no difference between the slinger and the huntress in appearance, just a whip and a spear, and it really deserves to be a supporting role for the public. to distinguish between them.
The last type of monster is called Plague Spread. The Quaternary Body, like the Carrion, moves slowly and poses little threat to adventure, but as the name suggests, it can spread the plague, and once it gets close to a crowd, the plague can quickly spread through ordinary people. It can often wipe out all life in an entire village within a few days, even affecting nearby villages. Danger hài can be described as the largest of all monsters.
Lost within the city limits. Most of the monsters are just these kinds, but here, these monsters are not the biggest threat to the adventure, the most terrifying thing is the environment here, as the edge of the Western Kingdom, the area closest to the center of the desert, the climate here is very harsh, the noon sun can fry eggs, and the cold wind in the middle of the night can make the urine that has just been pulled out freeze instantly. Even adventurous people can't stand this temperature difference. Even more terrifying is the desert storm here, if not dealt with in time. Even if you change jobs, you can blow away in an instant, and you will be suffocated to death at a height of tens of thousands of meters.
Originally, when I returned to Rogge, I had already passed most of my experience, and after killing that hell sinking demon, it rose a lot, so after walking along the southwest direction for three days, I was promoted to level twenty-five without accident, but this is not something to celebrate, the upgraded skills are not used, the attribute points are also retained, and I can't learn new skills, and the experience of upgrading to the next level has become more, and it feels really average.
The scorching sun is in the sky, as if the air is scorched by the fire, the air expands and distorts, the hot sand can be felt through the boots, the wet sweat is smothered, but it is immediately steamed, every step seems to weigh a thousand pounds, walking next to the little snow will spit out the scarlet tongue of the elder, this kind of hot weather is a big burden for it, but I can't help it, I can only look forward to the sun setting, enjoy the refreshment of that short dusk.
If nothing else, I'll be able to see Pit Viper Canyon in a day or two, well, as long as I don't get lost, I'm a little unsure of it.
Huh? Is it a mirage? Or is your brain sunburned? Something seemed to suddenly appear not far ahead, and I rubbed my eyes, picked myself up, and walked at a faster pace.
When I got closer, I was sure that it was not my hallucination, and several tattered walls, as if they could fall down at the slightest blow of the wind, came into view, and I could see that these vague outlined walls could not have been eroded by the wind and sand, but were man-made.
After walking around the neighborhood, I affirmed my thoughts, this should have been a village N years ago, no, looking at its architectural structure, it was more like a military garrison, but it was abandoned for some reason.
I searched carefully several times again, found a few relatively intact jars, kicked them apart, and dropped a few dirty silver coins, and nothing else, until the last corner......
I looked at the lonely broken wooden sign that was swaying on the ground, just like the "No Entry" sign that you often see on the grass, the handwriting on it has long been corroded, and I can't see what is written.
What is even more suspicious is that next to the sign, a heavy "plank" "laying" on the ground, this layout, as if I have seen it somewhere, I meditated for a while, and finally woke up, isn't this very similar to the sewer gate of Lugoin?
I immediately pulled up the wooden door, and a dark underground passage was revealed, and at the same time, I got the answer I wanted.
Ancient Passages.
This place that is recited in the bar is very mysterious, because it is in the middle of the desert, if you want to find it, it is like finding a ship in the vast ocean, you can't rely on a little luck, according to the adventure introduction that has occasionally entered it, the monsters inside seem to be generally stronger, and the same experience and explosion rate are also much higher, it is a good place for adventure teams with enough strength, but it is a pity that it is impossible to find, and it is too difficult to find such a small place in the desert.
But isn't the Ancient Road in the southeast direction of the Lost City? Pit Viper Canyon is on the southwest side, and the angle seems to be subtly deviated from a right angle, thinking of this, a black line suddenly appeared on my forehead.
Forget it, it's wrong, let's go to the ancient road, it's a rare opportunity, even if it's not for the explosion rate and experience inside, it's natural to escape the heat, after this decision, I took the little snow that was about to be sunburned and got into it. It's still soft......
