From the mountain path in the north of the melting pot to the east, the end point is the Valley of Dust and Fire Sandwiched between Three Mountains and Two Basins.

The basin to the north leads directly to the Stone Dam Trail through a tunnel built by the dwarves to Danmoro, while the basin below leads to the outskirts of the Sea of Ashes.

However, no matter which path you choose, there is an unavoidable trouble - the crystal spider.

For the inhabitants of Azeroth, everything can be summed up in four attributes: whether it is poisonous, whether it is edible, whether it is delicious or not, and whether it has special value.

And use this template to set the crystal spider, you can get this kind of information feedback: most of them contain crystal toxins, no edible parts, not tasty, crystal fangs and poison sacs have a small amount of alchemists to buy but the market is never out of stock.

Overall, the Crystal Spider is an Azeroth moving waste. Moreover, this piece of waste can be born and raised, and it is aggressive, and the most annoying thing is its gregariousness.

Heads-up, it's you who deal with a group of crystal spiders.

A group fight is your team dealing with a large group of crystal spiders.

Although the crystal toxin is not fatal, it is very contagious and corrosive, and the guy who thinks he can mow the grass without a double can only look at the crystallized armor and cry silently, and then strip naked to check where his skin is contaminated, and then cut off the patient with a knife.

"The orc sentry and patrol are in the southeast, right?"

Natalie asked.

"Well, that's right."

"Then why don't you act at night?"

Natalie was even more puzzled.

The team's current position has a very good view, and the basin they will pass through can be seen at a glance, even if the terrain at the bottom is undulating, and they can pass through it before dark.

So Natalie doesn't understand that it's not good to avoid orc patrols at night.

"Because the sea of ashes at night is safer than the day."

The chief of the guard originally wanted to say, hey, Niu'er, the uncle is the professional, think about it or forget it, the employer is God, Natalie paid the money, and the attitude should be better.

"Can you elaborate?"

Natalie continued.

"You'll understand in a moment."

The chief guard didn't want to speak anymore.

Half of the survival knowledge about Scorching Canyon is Brian. A quarter of what the Bronze Whiskers taught, told by the Brotherhood of Thorsilver, and the remaining quarter were confidently comprehended by the chief of the guard and his party at the cost of flesh pain.

For example, this black and white cloak on the front and back.

In general, the white side is outside during the day for sun protection, and at night the black side is outside for concealment.

However, through the Valley of Dust and Fire, everyone wears the other way around.

"Picking up some egg-sized stones in your hand, there are probably two modes of observation for the crystal spider, one by vibration and the other by temperature. After a while you feel that it notices you and throw a stone at its foot, useful. ”

The chief of the guard gave Natalie two words.

"What should I do if I can't smash it?"

"Just smash it."

Arranging tactics for non-professional soldiers is troublesome, and the chief guard pouted, bent down and picked up a few more stones in his arms......

The cave where the crystal spider hides is still relatively easy to identify at human height. Although the weather was hot and humid, the team did not travel fast because they had to avoid the dense impulse areas and be careful that the footsteps vibrated too much and caused the overreaction of the spider swarm.

Occasionally, there are lone daredevils or strange species basking in the sun in broad daylight, and six or seven simple spears can be easily solved by using the blind J8 random poke method.

Aside from the hot sweat, the team didn't seem to be in much trouble.

Until......

"Damn! How could there be a fire element in such a place? ”

The head guard encounters love around the corner of the teleportation.

It is said that it is the terrain of the basin, but the bottom of the basin is not a smooth road, and while climbing through one pit and going around into another, the chief guard is the first to spot a crimson elemental creature.

The forces are interactive, and so is the sight, there is no reason why you see him, but he can't see you, after all, except for the players of Star Two, there are not many blind eyes.

Elsewhere, explorers are overjoyed when they encounter the lone fire element.

Non-magical professionals often confuse the concepts of lava, fire, and fire-burning creatures, but professional explorers, while they may not be able to tell the difference, have another set of theories.

Fire creatures = big nuisance in melee.

Lava Elemental = Thankless, Oversized Trouble.

Fire element = a bunch of hot yam eggs that you can't see or touch.

Yes, the fire elemental is full of treasures, and even if you are not a mage, you don't have a corresponding magic weapon, so you can use physical means to disrupt its form, cool it with water and sand, and even lure it to run after you and consume its energy. Either way, it's a lucrative deal.

Mages can extract living flames from fire elementals, explorers with tools can get elemental fire, and even elemental cores collected from wreckage are important casting materials.

As long as you can get the fire elemental, it's a pile of moving gold.

The only trouble is that the fire elementals generally appear in groups, and they are still aggressive.

Therefore, encountering a lone fire element is as rare as playing Legend and encountering a white boar on the fourth floor of the Stone Tomb, and the probability is lower than when you play Hearthstone starting with Lucky Coin activation with Astral Boundary.

The head of the guard is naturally not afraid of the lone fire elemental, a whole elite squad, and a priest who is almost an archbishop to set up a scene and make some extra pace.

However, the group of crystal spiders not far away who were confronting the fire elemental were the big trouble.

The small ones were the size of a fist, and the large ones were the size of a foal, densely packed with at least an acre of land.

Yes, the battle-hardened eyes of the captain of the guard could judge the approximate number of the enemy at a glance, but there was no way to take this pile of spiders, and he could only conclude that there was an enemy of about an acre of land.

"Turn back, run!"

Without saying a word, he turned around and slid down the slope with his butt on the ground, and the chief guard grabbed Natalie, who was still stunned, and ran away.

"How ......"

As soon as Natalie wanted to speak, the huge inertia pulled her to run away with unconscious steps, and she bit her tongue.

I don't know if it's because I'm afraid of the fire element or if it's not exciting enough, but after running wildly for about twenty minutes, everyone found a slope with a back to the sun to rest and drink water.

"It's a pity, the lone fire element, at least 300 gold coins."

Some of them saw it and said it with regret, while more people just obeyed the order, completely unaware of what was going on.

"So what are we going to run?"

In a weird tone, Natalie looked angry.

"Because it's so abnormal. Whether it's the lone fire elemental or the crystal spider swarm that makes people's scalps tingle, it's too abnormal. ”

The chief guard frowned, as if thinking about something.

"Like, something is wrong."

The subordinate who understood something muttered twice.

"Can you tell me what's wrong?"

Natalie was completely confused, and her calves were still sore.

"First of all, there shouldn't be a fire element in a place like Dust and Fire Valley. Secondly, do you think there is enough food in this kind of place to feed so many crystal spiders? ”

"Yes, no."

Natalie had never raised spiders, nor did she know how much the crystal spider ate, but she gave the answer by feeling.

"It just didn't feel right intuitively just now, but now that I think about it, those crystal spiders were artificially gathered."

The chief of the guard kept thinking.

"Speaking of which, we've encountered a bit less of a crystal spider along the way."

Someone began to reminisce.

"Who? Orcs? And what is the purpose? ”

Natalie also cheered up and wanted to join the discussion.

However, the chief guard clapped his hands.

"Get up when you've rested enough, we must cross the Valley of Dust and Fire before dark, time waits for no one."

No one complained, and the whole team moved silently.

The chief of the guard did not and was not prepared to tell Natalie about the Black Iron Dwarf.

Whether it was a black iron dwarf or an orc, for whatever purpose, the anomaly just discovered gave the chief of the guard a feeling.

War is coming. (To be continued.) )
