The southern border of Kaulin-Ihurian actually refers to a narrow and pleasant strip of land around the shores of the Long Lake, between the Cave Mountains and the 'ladder of the world' of Azata, surrounded by several towns and dotted with civilizations.

But leaving this area, to the east the mountains rise deep into the dwarven sanctuary 'Eldron', to the south the waters of the Long Lake into the lowland swamps of Nognes surrounded by jungles, and to the west beyond the ruins of Idus, the vast yellow sands of Istania that are dusty all year round, all deserted.

Fang Yu and his entourage left Van Rik all the way to the west, after passing the shore of the Qianjin Lake, they went deep into a barren mountain and wild forest, and looked far away, the cliff belt formed by the gray cliffs and the dark and secluded forest stood on the surface of the lake, and there was no trace of civilization in the field of vision.

The small village that the others had passed through the other day seemed to be the last stop of the kingdom of Kaulin, the kingdom of Ishurian in the south, and after passing it, it had penetrated into the heart of the deserted woods. For two days, not even the occasional adventurer was encountered, and only silence remained in the forest, except for the occasional sight of an alert gray deer flashing through the forest.

Or the goshawk cries on the mountain stream, and a sense of independence arises spontaneously-

Sylvid would tell the crowd about the history of the South, and in fact a century ago, the road led to Idus, and the road was dotted with civilized settlements—villages and towns. But since the Plague of the Dragon Witch, after the destruction of Idus, the settlements on this road have been abandoned.

A large number of adventurers and hunters fled the area, and the local residents moved to places like Van Rik and the White City, and the traces of humans on this road have since faded. The dense vegetation followed the human trail and grew, and it was not long before the area was re-covered.

As if to confirm her words, Mr. Limestone soon passed through a village more than half a century ago, which was long gone, with faintly visible towers and broken walls covered with verdant leaves.

An adult male Wyvern stood on top of the tower, staring suspiciously at the rare outsiders, but humans, Paparals, and Big Cats weren't on the food list for Wyverns, so they didn't have anything to do with each other.

The well in the center of the village, which was opened more than a century ago, is still in use, and even after a few decades of subsidence, the water is clearer and clearer against the backdrop of clumps of ferns, and it is connected to the underground river below, and there are a few black fish in the water.

When the Paparals looked at it, they were nowhere to be seen.

Fang Plover plans to spend the night here, the ruins will provide a safer environment for Mr. Limestone, but they will have to clean the place before moving in.

After all, in addition to the 'native' who lived on the tower, there was also an uninvited guest, a gray-spotted large-jawed lizard roaming around.

When Fang Yu and the others spotted it, the reckless intruder was lazily basking in the sun, and its four small eyes quickly caught the new prey before shaking off the dust on its body and standing up, its size was about the size of a van.

The first battle quickly ended in defeat.

The classification of Attaria's beasts, monsters, and magical creatures, from level 19 up to level 19, is the first watershed. Below level nineteen, most creatures tend to rely on their own physical strength to fight, and a well-equipped and well-prepared team of adventurers can easily take down a monster whose level is no more than the average level of their own team.

But from the nineteenth level onwards, there was a clear division between the various types of creatures, and the creatures that relied on physical fitness began to become extremely large. For example, Mr. Limestone and his herd, and even the petrified cattle 'Cato Brepas' are as huge as a mountain.

and the culmination of this evolutionary route, the floating island whale.

Other creatures have developed their own special abilities, which are called strange monsters, or magical creatures, and these creatures have a variety of abilities, such as quartz drake's elemental immunity, blighted tree elder's physical immunity, or all kinds of living blood monsters, all kinds of mud monsters, Gleijing, and even half-water monsters with magical abilities.

Not to mention the third level higher, even in the confrontation of the same level, the adventurer team also has group annihilation from time to time when they encircle and suppress these monsters.

Among them, the rock shark that the plover has seen is a representative of this type of creature, it is not very high-level, and the rock shark generally hovers between fifteen and twenty-two levels from juvenile to adult. Juvenile rock sharks have little resistance to being hunted, so they easily do not approach the continental layer.

The adult rock shark above the nineteenth level is a big guy that requires the joint efforts of several teams to catch.

However, the rock shark is basically the lower limit of this type of creature. Another recognized lower limit is the large number of lizards under the family of gray-spotted lizards, from gray-spotted large-jawed lizards to gray-spotted crested lizards.

The lower limit is the lower limit, but if you think that the rock shark and the gray spotted lizard are easy to deal with, you are very wrong.

Therefore, everyone immediately suffered a loss under the sonic attack of this big guy, and at the same time, the energy angel who went around to the back to attack couldn't break through its thick scales for a while, and when the attack was fruitless, everyone could only retreat first.

Fortunately, Fang Plover and Orfen's twin stars can block the pace of the opposite pursuit first, and then recover it remotely.

After losing the First World War, Fang Yu quickly adjusted his thinking.

Of course, this is not to say that they have to fight this big lizard head-on, after all, the dark dragon Fang Yuan has seen it more than once, and this stupid lizard is nothing more than a small wind and waves in his opinion. If he must make a move, ten 'fire djinn' will be able to turn it into ashes.

Or risk the damaged defense of the Orphen Twins and fight them head-on, and they may not lose.

It's just that this kind of dispatch is fast, but it's too much of a loss for normal adventures. A few more times, the Seven Seas Traveler will have to go bankrupt.

The normal battle of the adventuring group is, of course, the responsibility of the minimum attrition, after all, for most adventuring groups, taking risks is to make money, neither desperate nor handsome. Fang Yu then let the team take back and discussed the countermeasures with everyone.

In the end, everyone unanimously agreed with Tang Xin's approach.

The Grey-spotted Jawed Lizard has a skill called 'Heavy Scale Fury', which is immune to 60% of physical damage for a short period of time, and it casts this skill after launching a sonic attack, waiting for its trembling organs to recharge its mana and unleash another sonic attack.

Under the global sonic attack, the Magician, the Elemental Envoy, and the Naturalist can't make a move at all, so it can be said that in this cyclical state, this thing is a tricky hedgehog.

The adventurer's usual method of dealing with it is to use Silent Dust, a potions byproduct that doesn't cost a lot of money, but is incredibly useful. It's a pity that Fang Yuan's previous experience in the adventure group was very different from that of a normal adventure group, and he actually forgot to prepare these standing items.

There weren't even resonance crystals, which meant they couldn't do anything if they encountered a rock shark.

Fang Yu is a little big at this time, but he can't say that you wait for me to go back to the ship's workshop to match the ratio, and wait for tomorrow to fight again. Fortunately, Tang Xin said that the gray-spotted big-jawed lizard has a trait, when it is too close to an enemy in the front, it will bundle the sonic attack into a fan out of vigilance, and mainly attack the enemy who is too close to itself.

If someone can take a blow from the Grey-spotted Jaw Lizard head-on, others can approach the big guy from other directions and entangle it, giving Luo Yu, Kita, and the chest a chance to cast spells.

Fang Yu patted his head, only then did he remember that there were already professional defenders in the team, and it was no longer the situation where he had to construct his body for big and small things, and carry it in front of him with a paladin of the big cat man.

So he patted Luo Hao on the shoulder: "I'll leave it to you." ”

"Am I too low?" Luo Hao was a little flustered. He had only been on the team for a few days, and suspected that these people were using him as cannon fodder.

"Don't worry, Mr. Red has your back."

Luo Hao glanced at the big cat man and saw that the other party's level was not low, so he nodded stubbornly.

No way, he joined this team, that was the order from above. He was the military's chosen man, so he naturally made obedience to the arrangement his first duty. And fortunately, he knew Fang Yuan, and the other party's performance in the Dawn Star and the battle not long ago gave him some confidence.

Luo Hao walked up with a shield in a sweat, and said loudly: "Big cat, when I shout later, you have to release your skills." ”

"Got it, little fat man," Red squinted at his silver eyes, the scar standing out in the hot sun. In fact, the Gray Spotted Lizard is even more common in Rotao, and they are even the totem of many clans. It reminded him of something from the past.

The big cat man replied casually: "Don't worry, you don't need to shout, my judgment will only be much more accurate than you." ”

Luo Hao will be skeptical.

The group approached the big creature for the second time, and the latter, noticing that someone was approaching, spat out the fragment of metal that he had chewed on in his mouth—the clockwork fairy that Fang Ou had used to lure enemies. However, he didn't have time to mourn for his flexible construction, and only shouted:

"Everyone, prepare!"

Luo Hao raised his shield and rushed forward.

The gray-spotted jawed lizard turned its head, and its vision reflected a wild boar that was rushing towards it? In its simple visual structure, it is difficult to tell whether the spherical creature in front of it is a human or a wild boar under the black and white tones, in short, both are similar.

But because of this, the gray-spotted lizard was easily provoked, and when it opened its mouth wide, an invisible ripple swept towards Luo Hao. Sonic attack, Luo Hao immediately opened the magic shield on the shield.

It's just that the thin layer of shield has only been broken before it can be opened, and he almost flew upside down, and just about to think about it, these people really sold the fat uncle. But suddenly, a pale golden light spread from behind.

The golden brilliance was like a water streak, slowly moving forward, forming a semicircular barrier and protecting Luo Hao. The Lion Paladin stepped forward with one hand, and a steady stream of divine aether was channeled from his magic furnace to his hand, supporting the barrier.

The sound wave hit the barrier and caused a ripple, and the smoke and dust it rolled up immediately dissipated a lot.

Fang Yu knew that this was a new skill that the big cat people learned after Van Rik upgraded - the Sacred Barrier, which consumed aether mana within the barrier to reduce damage, and reduced damage by one point for every three mana points, which could save up to forty percent of the damage.

I saw Rhett's fiery red mane flying in the wind, looking extremely majestic, but he said in his mouth: "My magic furnace only has four hundred readings, which can last less than five seconds, you better hurry." ”

As soon as Luo Hao's pressure was relaxed, the feeling of tingling in his ears and tightness in his chest disappeared in an instant, and he was about to sigh that a paladin above level twenty was really powerful, but when he heard this, he hurriedly took the words back into his stomach, and only shouted: "Hurry up and seize the opportunity, we can't support it!" ”

A boulder flew in and landed on the head of the gray-spotted jawed lizard with unmistakable accuracy, forcing the latter's mouth to close and the sonic attack to be interrupted.

Fang Yu didn't expect the box to have such a strange trick, and couldn't help but be a little overjoyed, and immediately waved his hand: "Everyone concentrate on hitting its left abdomen, which is relatively close to its heart!" As soon as the words fell, regardless of whether the gray spotted lizard had 60% physical immunity, he also summoned two energy angels and attacked it.

When it gets close, the Grey-spotted Jawed Lizard will no longer launch a long-prepared sonic attack, and will only use its biological instincts to attack nearby enemies. After all, its magic attack is very high, but its physical attack is not low, and with a thick scale, Baggins, Shesta, and Alyssa, who joined the melee battle, were helpless to take it for a while.

It was only a few seconds before Attila, Kita, and Luo Yu's spells were finally ready. After the battle of Van Rik, Luo Yu and Kita both entered the rank of ten, although the spells of this level are still not a fatal threat to the level 20 gray spotted lizard, but at least they can also cause a lot of spell damage to it.

After all, this thing has almost no magic resistance-

Attila's druid spells were far more deadly, and when a thorny spear fell, the big creature was already bleeding and howling with rage.

Of course, the end of the battle still has to rely on the kitchen knife team members of the physics department, and after the gray lizard's heavy scale rage skill is over, Sylvid takes the opportunity to shoot it in the left eye with a shot, and when it falls into a state of rage, the big cat man severs one of its left feet with another sword.

The battle that followed was basically one-sided killing.

It's not that everyone lacks empathy, but it's because this thing's defense is too high, even if it lacks 60% physical immunity, everyone can only cut the flesh with a blunt knife and slowly rely on bleeding to make it seriously injured and fall to the ground.

The battle continued until the evening, and it was not until the gray-spotted big-jawed lizard finally took its last breath that Luo Hao sat on the ground.

He wiped a handful of sweat and asked Fang Yu with a little trepidation: "Are your battles so thrilling?" ”

Fang Yu shook his head.

Fortunately, Luo Hao had just breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and saw Fang Yu's tall expression, as if he deliberately suppressed the smugness in his heart, and said lightly: "What is this, it's just a small scene." ”

"Holy!"

Luo Hao suddenly gave this pretending coquent a middle finger in his heart.

However, Fang Yu was quite happy, since the box was added, there was finally a new member who was weaker than him to join, so that his captain's authority could gradually be established. Big Cat Man, Shesta, and Baggins, as powerful as they are, always give him the feeling that there are several mountains overhead.

Luo Hao sat on the ground and tasted it for a while, before he suddenly felt that something was not quite right with this team. He counted that this team only had two battles of about level 20, one was the cold maid, and the other was the lion paladin in the team.

Why would they dare to provoke an adult grey-spotted lizard?

He looked at the big guy who was lying in a pool of blood not far away, and then looked at the magic shield that he had been slapped a few times by the other party, and had been scrapped into a piece of scrap iron.

Luo Hao felt that he couldn't understand the world for the first time.

The gray-spotted lizard has only one heavy scale and vocal organs, which are very valuable, but after a fierce battle, there are very few heavy scales left in good condition. The Paparral man volunteered to get the vibrating organ on the left side of the lizard, and said that he had the certification of a first-class material collector, but he broke one by dividing it by two.

Then Fang Yu also broke one.

The two men were then placed on a list of prohibitions from approaching the corpse.

Fang Yu sat aggrievedly to the side, only to watch Miss Atira slowly dissect the corpse and take out the third magic organ, which was of grade C quality. Sky Blue cheered and put things into a glass jar filled with embalming fluid.

After all, that thing is the main magic organ that the gray spotted lizard can use to perform sonic attacks, and if the quality is slightly better, the market price will be tens of thousands of miles.

Then Tianlan encouraged Alyssa to try her hand, and as soon as the latter touched it, she found a quality A-grade trembling leaf, and she held the page that was still dripping blood with some amusement, and shook it at Fang Yuan.

Angry, Fang Plover pulled the Paparal man and left:

"I just saw some magic mushrooms over there, and those things are worth a lot of money, no worse than a gray-spotted lizard."

"Really, how did I not know?"

"Where there's a wyvern, there's a magic mushroom." Fang Yu thought for a while, and then found a reasonable reason.

Not far away, Tang Xin was holding a glass jar like Tianlan, and only rolled her eyes to watch these two stupid people go farther and farther.

And the twilight grew dull, and the setting sun slanted through the woods before it cut beneath the mountains to the west, where the dark shadows of the mountains plunged into the golden clouds, and what appeared to be a long, narrow blade that split the fiery clouds.

Baggins told the crowd that it was the Dwarf Mountains north of Nognes. The people of the desert call it Arsoni, which means scimitar.

It's just that this scimitar is still clearly visible from the west shore of the Long Lake after thousands of years, and the inhabitants of the desert have long been missing. The former Idus under the ridge of the Red Stone, and the land of dragons in the sea of sand have all turned to dust.

When the sky darkened, people stopped trying to find anything of value from the gray-spotted lizard.

Its carcass parked on the street, and soon attracted a few vultures to wander over the ruins, tentatively trying to land and feast on them - the flesh of the gray-spotted lizard was faintly poisonous and sour and difficult to eat, and no one usually used it as a reserve food, but it didn't matter to these master birds.

Instead, the Wyvern watched from afar as the strange men helped it take out the tricky enemy below, then lit a campfire in the ruins and set up camp. For a moment, it was in awe and awe of the mysterious creature of humans.

It didn't plan to trouble the other party anymore - in fact, it had already begun to wonder if it should move.

Standing in this place, looking through the woods, you can still see a corner of the long lake. As the last rays of sunlight sink below the col, the golden glow of the water disappears, leaving only a dark and dreary patch. At this time, Tianlan whispered to Ai Xiaoxiao that in Aitalia, the goddess of the lake lived in the lake.

If you pray to the goddess, the goddess will give people a response.

So the two of them shouted a few times in the direction of the lake, and the sound came from afar, so frightened that the bipedal wyvern flapped its wings and flew into the night sky.

But not long after, the two were bombarded back by Attila.

"Don't bring the Children of the Forest."

Miss Elf looked at the two of them angrily.
