Chapter 1362: Sawtooth Valley
If other teammates were present, they would definitely agree with Wei Zixun's words at this moment, after all, in their opinion, even if the vast continent was terrifying, with those forces in Li Ran's war space, not to mention the vertical and horizontal here, it was just a three-hundred-mile radius around the stable territory, but it would not encounter much threat at all.
However, at this moment, what made Wei Zixun depressed was that not only did Xia Houben and Pang Wenshi not speak, but even if they didn't necessarily have their own good money, they didn't stand on their side, and even there was a rather helpless smile in their eyes.
"It's always a good idea to make some emergency preparations when you're new here, and now that we know we're nobles, wouldn't it be weird if we didn't buy two rescue crystals?" Fortunately, Li Ran then looked around and said with a smile: "What's more, the map you brought back last time is too simple, and we just happened to see if there is a more complete hand-drawn map by the way."
Wei Zixun was a little unimpressed by Li Ran's explanation, but when she heard that Li Ran wanted to buy a more complete map, she expressed her approval, after all, she herself knew that she was in a hurry last time, so she just bought a map casually.
But what she didn't expect was that it took Li Ran a whole afternoon to buy this map, but fortunately, in the process, they also discovered that the captain of the half-orc guard in front of the teleportation array during the day was not the real town trading hall at all.
However, at that time, they had already spent a lot of money on the exchange called the Green Goblin, and had bought two rescue crystals that might have had no effect.
Angry, Wei Zixun wanted to go back to the half-orc guard captain to settle the account, but Li Ran smiled and said forget it, and at this time in the guest room of the post station, looking at the nearly ten maps of different sizes placed on the table, Wei Zixun gradually saw the difference under observation.
Although it is a hand-drawn map, no one expects it to be exactly the same, but in it, there are errors in even important and dangerous areas, which is a bit of an incomprehension.
"Even if we found the real trading hall of this territory, we also bought the map inside" At this time, Wei Zixun asked a little puzzled: "Why do you want to buy so many maps from other people?" ”
Without waiting for Li Ran to answer, Qian Hui on the side already smiled and said, "Even the territory guards may be deceitful, can you be sure that the map you bought on the trading floor is the most accurate?" ”
Hearing her words, while Wei Zixun was slightly stunned, Li Ran nodded with a smile, and after thinking about it for a while, Wei Zixun also seemed to understand something.
Seeing her expression, Li Ran also nodded and explained: "Actually, this truth is very simple, even if it is a territory, it naturally needs to be developed, and this territory is obviously different from other territories, although it is not too big, but they have an extremely advantageous condition, that is, the teleportation array when we came, according to my opinion, it should be a rare natural teleportation array, otherwise with the level of this territory, it should not be possible to open such a far teleportation channel."
Speaking of this, Li Ran also continued: "And even if it is a development-type territory, they must control it, although in the afternoon, we did learn that there are many valuable minerals and biological areas nearby, but if the people who come over are familiar with the surrounding environment, these will always dry up sooner or later, why do they have to ask for dozens of times the price of a guest room outside, and a magic crystal for help is sold at such a high price?" So compared to the maps on the table, the one that is least credible is actually this one that I bought from the auction hall."
Hearing Li Ran say it so carefully, Wei Zixun also understood the reason, especially when Li Ran then said that if he was the lord here, he would definitely do the same thing, and she felt even more that her previous cognition was a little one-sided.
"Why do you buy a copy when you know the maps are fake? And in this case, the distress crystal we bought from it won't be fake, right? But the next moment, Wei Zixun couldn't help but hurriedly ask again.
In this regard, Li Ran shook his head and said: "Is this not possible, there are outsiders who take the initiative to be pathfinders for them, so that their patrol team can decide whether to take action to obtain the materials and magic crystals on the creatures according to the degree of danger, such a thing that kills two birds with one stone, why wouldn't they do it?" ”
was explained by Li Ran, and everyone present suddenly became enlightened, and when they studied these drawings later, including Wei Zixun, they finally understood Li Ran's intention to collect so many drawings.
Among so many drawings, in fact, what they pay the most attention to is undoubtedly for some of the dangerous areas, and when marking the location, it is naturally the most accurate in several maps to mark the location at the same time.
Although in Wei Zixun's opinion, in the case of Li Ran coming over, the biggest role of these maps is nothing more than to indicate a direction, and it doesn't matter to them.
But then she also saw that Li Ran had spent so long to come up with such a detailed map, in addition to being able to summon fewer troops within three hundred miles of them to avoid attracting the attention of others, on the other hand, it was also for other teammates to come over in the future, and have a more accurate basis for traveling.
Thinking about this, she also understood the significance of why Li Ran collected so many maps, and compared with the two, she finally came over once, but she didn't have the slightest awareness of this, and Wei Zixun couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed at this time.
But fortunately, under the uncertainty of things, Li Ran also took these as a reference for the time being, and after determining the approximate location and asking Qian Hui to redraw a map according to these maps, everyone also went offline to rest, after all, when it was dawn, they might have to go out for a while.
However, for Wei Zixun, it was such a short time, she felt that she had also learned a lot of things, and at this moment, when she thought that before this, many people were scrambling to follow Li and then face, originally she was a little unimpressed, but at this moment, she instantly understood the reason.
So after some thought, just when she returned to the bedroom to set the alarm clock, this senior white-collar worker in a foreign-funded hospital who has always had a clear distinction between public and private suddenly got up and put on his clothes, and on the way to Tianyun Group, he called the company to apply for annual leave.
"Huh? Sister Zixun, why are you here? Didn't you go to the Vast Continent with Brother Ran? Seeing Wei Zixun who went directly to the top floor, Qian Wei rushed over as soon as he was notified and asked curiously.
In this regard, Wei Zixun also smiled awkwardly and said: "It just so happened that the company asked me to take annual leave, and I thought that it would be boring to be alone at home, so I came by the way to ask you if there is a dormitory here, after all, it is also convenient to talk to Li Ran and them about things offline."
For a ghost like Qian Wei, how could she not see the strangeness of Wei Zixun's expression, but then she immediately smiled and said: "It's not okay for other people to come, there must be a place for your sister Zixun to come, I'll notify Brother Ran now and arrange a single room for you."
As for Li Ran, he obviously didn't expect Wei Zixun to come at this time, but even if it is cooperation, it is naturally much more convenient to be together.
So after getting Qian Wei's notice, he also came over to say hello in person, after arranging the room, to see if the time was not early, after letting Qian Wei arrange another machine, he also directly entered the third world with Wei Zixun.
Because he had been familiar with the environment for more than half a day, including the location of going out of the city, after the personnel converged, Li Ran also went out of the city directly with everyone after summoning two epic-level guards.
And a few hours later, they also encountered the first wild creature they had seen since they came here, a dreadclaw monster with a body size of about five meters!
They have a dinosaur-like appearance, but they are made of steel-like metal all over their bodies, and they are very fast and have epic destructive power, so they are also one of the more common solitary predators in this area.
And at this moment, for Li Ran and the others, who came to the vast continent for the first time, after seeing this epic creature only a few dozen kilometers out of the territory, they finally saw the reason why this vast continent has a heroic tomb and a holy land for the strong.
After all, based on the level of the dreadclaw monster in front of him, if it were to be changed to another place, it would definitely be one of the top creatures, in addition to only appearing far away from the city, people would also classify its location as a danger zone.
However, here, these epic-level powerful creatures actually appeared in the periphery of the town's territory in a grand manner, just like the long-eared and goblins outside the towns on the world map, which couldn't help but surprise Li Ran and the others.
But fortunately, the five of them, together at this time, can be regarded as summoning ten epic-level creature troops, although they did not kill this dreadclaw monster for the first time, but this epic-level creature is obviously also smart, and did not rush to get closer, but followed them from a distance, it seems that they want to wait for some opportunity.
"It seems that this place we teleported over, even in this vast continent, can be regarded as a relatively dangerous area" Glancing at the dreadclaw monster behind him, Li Ran said with a slight smile.
Hearing Li Ran say this, the others also nodded, and Qian Hui said with some regret: "It's a pity that I didn't receive a complete map of the vast continent all day yesterday, and the map with the widest mark is only within a thousand kilometers of the surrounding area."
In this regard, Wei Zixun also said: "If we want a complete map, we may have to go south, didn't someone say yesterday that there is a big city in that direction?" But in that case, we may need to cross that sawtooth valley, and I heard that this place is dangerous, and many adventurers have been killed there."
