Chapter 4: The Dangers of the Sunset Mountains
Gabriela took out a map of the Sunset Mountains from the table in front of her, then threw it to Wright, and said to Wright, who was a little puzzled, "I was going to take a public map to fool around, but since it's little Wright, my sister will take out her own secret map, you remember to record the map above." With that, he took out a small map of animal skins from a small bag on his waist and spread it out on the table.
"Sunset Mountain Range is the lowest among the three Jedi, but this is talking about the area of the three major Jedi and the total number of demonic beasts, and the danger of entering them is different, don't hold the idea that 'Sunset Mountain is the bottom of the Jedi, so it is the safest', people who think like this end up becoming the feces of demonic beasts!"
"I won't tell you more about the information about the Warcraft in the Sunset Mountains, I think the information in the library of your Magic Academy must be richer than the one I have, and I will only focus on two points about Warcraft."
"First, don't underestimate the wisdom of the Warcraft, there are many mid- and low-level Warcraft with high intelligence in the Sunset Mountains, such as the 'Ironclaw Ape' and the 'Wingless Eagle'. For example, the ordinary members of the Ironclaw Ape are only Level 3 and Level 4 Magical Beasts, but they have a high level of intelligence, they hunt in groups, have a clear division of labor, and can even dig some simple traps. In the face of this kind of demonic beasts, it is best to kill the leaders as quickly as possible, once the leaders are killed by you, they will scatter in a hurry, which is also a defect of the more intelligent monsters! That's it, there are some Warcraft like Walking Eagles, once they find that they can't hunt you, they will spray some strange smells, used to lure other Warcraft to let you meet, and then finally come out to pick up the cheap, there are many such Warcraft, of course, we also have a way, that is, to use a special odor-eliminating potion to ----- the backpack that Gabriela turned out, and take out a can of spray to signal Wright. ”
"Second, be careful of insect monsters, the Sunset Mountains are different from the Warcraft Mountains in the north, there are the most insects and monsters on the continent, as well as many poisonous insects that are not even Warcraft, these poisonous insects are very difficult to entangle, sometimes being bitten by a poisonous insect that is not even a Warcraft may cause fever and illness, and if you get sick in the Sunset Mountains, you are basically dead! If you want to deal with these little insects, there are ways, one is to apply a special anthelmintic ointment---- in fact, the active ingredient is the feces of high-grade magical beasts------ I see that you have prepared it, and there are antidotes for some common poisons, you also have them here. But those insects that are considered Warcraft are not so easy to deal with, and many of the insects and Warcraft are in populations, if you kill a 'descendant', it is possible to be known by the nearby 'Mother Emperor', if you are unlucky, it is difficult to escape if you are chased and killed by a group of insect Warcraft. ”
"In the face of insect monsters, there is no good way, it is best to run away directly, insect monsters prefer large-volume prey, and generally do not chase and kill." Wright felt that as a magician, he had some magic to deal with the insect monsters of the group, but he thought about it and didn't try it, after all, there were not one or two magicians who came here every year to train. As if to see Wright's thoughts, Gabriela reminded, "I'm not talking about warriors, even if it's a magician, it's hard to deal with, little Wright, don't swell!" Wright nodded yes.
"In the Sunset Mountains, there are three major dangers, and Warcraft is the first! And miasma and water sources are the second! ”
"The temperature in the Sunset Mountains is very high, and the rotting plants and the corpses of demonic beasts have formed a highly poisonous miasma. In fact, a miasma enveloped the entire Sunset Mountains. The division of the miasma is indicated on my map! The white representative miasma is very light, and it can be easily resisted with the body of an ordinary warrior without causing much harm. The green area is the area where ordinary fighters will not die, but will cause discomfort to their own body and need to take an antidote. And the purple one, as long as you know that you don't use the strength of a seventh-level warrior, you will almost die if you go in. It should be noted that the miasma will be blown by the wind after all, so the miasma area can only be used as a reference, once you feel unwell and have the feeling of poisoning, you must take the antidote immediately. ”
"There is also the water source in the mountain range, which will also be contaminated with miasma, and toxins will also accumulate, so even if you are not poisoned, make sure that you take the antidote regularly!" Gabriela said and poured a cup of tea from a water cup to moisten her throat, "So there are relatively few people who come to Sunset Mountain to hunt Warcraft to make money, after all, even the cheapest antidote costs a gold coin, and the most expensive one like you will sell for five or six gold coins." You must know that the magic core of a third-level demonic beast is only about 20 gold coins to 30 gold coins, if you count other consumption, a three-person hunting team will not even be able to earn back the cost unless it can hunt a third-level demonic beast every day! ”
"As for the most dangerous, you should know it, Wright," Gabriela stared straight at Wright, "Actually, the three Jedi are the same, and the most dangerous ones are never the environment and Warcraft, but our kind!" ”
"I've been in Homecoming City for two years, and there is a kind of special shop in Homecoming City that buys damaged weapons and armor, and I often see adventurers coming to these shops to sell weapons and equipment! Some of these weapons are just a little worn, and some are even brand new! However, their armor, helmets, and other armor had a deadly mark of destruction. Gabriela said with some gloom, "Little Wright, you know what I mean. ”
Although Wright had seen it from books, he knew that in a place like Sunset Mountain, there was almost no trust between people, after all, killing a demonic beast would earn a magic core at most, and the rest would be difficult to take away. And killing the same adventurer often yields more wealth.
More likely, what happens when an adventurer gets lost in the mountains or for other reasons, delaying their way home, and the consumables they bring with them are gone, such as antidotes, supplies, etc.
Killing a member of your kind at this time not only represents wealth, but also the continuation of life! Represents the possibility or out of the mountains! If killing a stranger to earn gold coins is only something that a small number of adventurers will do, and the latter, but all the adventurer teams that are missing their companions, are actually very suspicious, killing their trusted companions! After all, those who can form a team in the Jedi Mountains are either really trusted, not companions who have been partners for many years, or old adventurers fooling rookie adventurers who are just getting started.
Thinking deeper, will there be adventurers who come to abduct new adventurers and bring them into the Sunset Mountains as 'reserve food', and once their supplies are insufficient, they will decisively sneak attack or poison them to get supplies? Thinking of this, Wright couldn't help but shudder at his brain.
Seeing Wright's expression and seeing that he did understand his words, Gabriela nodded with satisfaction and made a summary: "Here, there are often experienced and adventurers with good strength but lack of experience who enter the Sunset Mountains to adventure, but less than half of them really die from Warcraft and Miasma!" The vast majority of them have died at the hands of their own kind, and this is the most dangerous enemy! So Wright, don't trust anyone after more than three days of entering the fallen mountains, especially deep into the interior---- I don't think you have a companion with whom you have been adventuring for more than ten years! If not, don't trust anyone, even if you see me in the Sunset Mountains----- of course I don't plan to enter the Sunset Mountains at this time, and don't believe me. ”
"In the Sunset Mountains, the way to show peace when you meet an adventurer or an experienced person is not to show your back, slowly go backwards and leave, and don't talk about any trading cooperation, otherwise even if you are not malicious, the other party may think that you have malicious intent! Do you understand? ”
Wright shook his head and nodded hurriedly, although he knew that the Sunset Mountain Range was dangerous, he didn't want to trust other adventurers to cooperate together, because he knew that there were still many cases of working together and helping each other in the Warcraft Mountain Range.
Gabriela's tone changed: "Of course, Wright, don't be too nervous and afraid, keep no more than three days away from the edge of the mountain range, and ensure that your antidote and other supplies can support you until you leave." With your strength, you're still pretty sure you'll come back alive. And as long as the Sunset Mountains are not too deep, they may not encounter this kind of thing! ”
Of course, Wright understands that Sister Gabriela is comforting herself, but since she has chosen to come to Sunset Mountain to train, she does not plan to change her goal, so she can only prepare and practice.
"Sister Gabriela, thank you!" Wright said very seriously, of course he knew that if it weren't for the friendship between the two, Gabriela wouldn't have said a lot of things, "When I come out of the Sunset Mountains, I'll invite you to dinner!" ”
Gabriela also said seriously: "Little Wright, you have to come out of the Sunset Mountains alive!" ”
Goodbye to Gabriela, and the next day, Wright enters the Sunset Mountains.
