Volume 9: Outbreak Chapter 11: Return to the Land of Bones (1)
Winter is not a good time to travel, no matter what the world is. The cold wind always makes people involuntarily miss the warm fireplace at home, the hot cocoa, and the leisure time that can't help but sink in.
Especially when the Northrend from the north of the continent was howling with a wind that was enough to freeze people into ice cubes, cutting at his body like a sword, even Yu Bin, who was an undead, couldn't help but miss the warm hall of the lord of Naxxramas! Even the temperature in the lord's hall is only in the single digits.
This is the second cold wave since the beginning of winter, and unlike the first cold wave from the Misty Sea, the second cold wave from Northrend is known as "The Cry of the God of the North Wind" by the natives of the world of Ntagre, and its source is said to have originated in a frozen wilderness in Northrend, where the goddess of the north wind, Auluel, fell, and the body of the god is still buried somewhere in the wilderness. Since then, every winter, there have always been huge ice tornadoes in this year-round cold wilderness, and under the influence of ice tornadoes, waves of cold waves have swept away the entire continent with Northrend as the center, covering the world in a layer of silver.
Yu Bin's destination is the burial ground in the southwestern province of Alberta, the Dia Empire, and this time, instead of taking the easiest route, which is to start from the undead town of Awyat, and pass through the Manitoba gap carved out of the Manitoba barrier, he rides the Salikai pinching ice and fire dragon Xiaobai, who has entered adulthood, oh no, it should be called the two-headed frost dragon now.
Compared to entering the burial place by land, riding Xiaobai is faster and more convenient for Bin. He could go directly along the coastline of the Sea of Ammanthiyah, avoiding the possibility of being discovered. In addition, entering the Bones Land from the air can also avoid the wandering undead on the outskirts of this undead-infested area.
Over time, the number of players has grown, and the demand for leveling points has skyrocketed. The ordinary monster gathering points around the city are no longer enough to meet the player's need for experience, so players regardless of the faction are actively looking for safe and efficient ways to level up.
In this regard, the orderly camp has a clear advantage.
Players in the Order Camp can move up to Tier 1 around their birthplace and either head to Southsea to join the garrison there against the undead and shadow creatures from the Silver Pine Forest, or head to the Whispering Forest to help the elves rid the remaining monsters in the forest. For the rookies of the Order camp, either of these two options is very cost-effective, not only can they gain experience, but they can also exchange some equipment from the aborigines through military exploits.
After these two places are promoted to almost Tier 3, most of the players in the Order camp will choose to join the war of the Arnas Empire, this counterinsurgency war is now in full swing, because of a great plague called "Death of Sawyer", the usurping of the throne Rasfir and Onexia have completely become enemies of the Empire, and the nobles have begun to support Prince Andrei's counterinsurgency, and at the same time learn from the practice of the Angel's Covenant, and recruit players to join the army to attack the undead who are ravaging the territory of the Empire.
For the aborigines, whether it is Nanhai Town, the Whispering Forest, or the Armas Empire, it can be said to be an extremely disgusting disaster, but for players, these places where fierce conflicts are taking place are their best training grounds, and even in order to prevent the war in these places from ending prematurely, many players also deliberately cause some bad influences, as much as possible to maintain the balance between the aborigines and those monsters. In this respect, the player does deserve the title of-stirring stick and troublemaker.
And for players in the chaotic camp, things are not so rosy.
Whether it is the undead or the demons, the orcs or the dungeon, although a lot of things have happened, there are no problems left that are difficult to solve, and naturally there will be no areas like Nanhai Town, which are constantly war-torn. Therefore, players in the chaotic camp want to level up, and there are basically only two places to choose from.
One is the skirmish between the Felta Undead Empire and the indigenous inhabitants of some neutral areas, this kind of skirmish has never really stopped since the establishment of the Felta Empire, although the intensity is not high, but the scope is very wide, enough to meet the leveling requirements of some players in the chaos camp.
The other is the wild and primitive Great Hengduan Mountains. In the previous life, it was not easy for players to enter the Great Hengduan Mountain Range to level up, mainly because of the poor logistical supply, although the three empires of the undead all bordered this huge mountain range that stretched for thousands of kilometers, but in order to avoid stimulating the powerful creatures in the mountain range, the three empires had a tacit understanding to give up the idea of establishing a village in the edge of the mountain range. This makes it difficult for players who want to level up in the mountains to get a stable logistical supply point.
After Yu Bin's Naxxramas was established, relying on its excellent geographical location and stable material supply, it quickly provided a solid and reliable supply point for players in the chaotic camp, which was also an important reason why Naxxramas was able to make money every day.
The abundant natural resources in the Great Hengduan Mountains not only refer to various minerals and plants, but also to the various beasts and creatures that live in the mountains, and the entire Great Hengduan Mountains is a complete food chain, where countless beast groups of different sizes survive and reproduce, both in number and strength, are enough to meet the needs of players at all levels.
In addition, the Buried Bones is also a well-known leveling point. However, because of the geographical environment here, as well as the strength of the monsters, only elite players with relatively strong strength or guilds with a certain scale will choose this place as a leveling point. At the same time, some players who want to make some extra money by selling death crystals also choose this place.
As a result, the gap in Manitoba has long been a traffic artery for people to come and go, and the undead town of Awyath has also developed significantly due to the large circulation of players, and it is said that it is close to the size of a small city (news from Alan Shadow Song), in order to avoid complications, Yu Bin chose to take the air route and enter the burial ground along the Ammancia coastline.
Yu Bin thought he would need to break through the manic undead scattered all the way to the depths of the Bones to find the palace of Farhara where Navik was, but in fact the journey was much easier than he had imagined. On the second day after riding Xiaobai into the Buried Bone Land, Yu Bin met his old friend who was patrolling the territory in the sky, the undead bone dragon Rodriguez.
Poor Xiaobai had no power to resist in front of Rodriguez's dragon power, and could only stay in the sky trembling, if it weren't for Yu Bin still sitting on his back, this foodie who had never been in contact with the cruel reality since he was born would have landed on the ground long ago, and he didn't know how to bury his head in that hole. In this regard, Yu Bin is also powerless, he doesn't have so much time to train Xiaobai, just relying on the rock helmet land dragon Tuses who is stocked in the Anglis Mountain, he can't teach Xiaobai to be a really powerful dragon at all, he can only be regarded as blinding the potential in Xiaobai's body, thinking about Yu Bin feels worthless for Mansaconko.
"Little one, I didn't expect to see you again so soon! What's the matter, was it spanked and ran back crying? Hahaha! Rodriguez laughed wildly, his wings flapping as if they were slapping towards the ground, indicating how happy the skullsaur was.
During the time when Yu Bin was imprisoned in the Farhara Palace, this skull dragon can be said to have the worst relationship with Yu Bin, because Yu Bin always used other people's tasks from time to time to instruct Rodriguez to give him a day job, and Navik was obviously unwilling to interfere in this trivial matter, so Rodriguez was always teased by Yu Bin from time to time, and the atmosphere between the two was often very tense.
However, Rodriguez was also very happy to see the little reptile that had embarrassed him several times run back after such a short period of time. For him, who has been an undead for tens of thousands of years, less than four years is really not too far apart, so in his opinion, this little reptile must have run back to seek refuge.
Yu Bin smiled bitterly and pulled out the rune sword, when Navik gave him this sword, he said that it was a token for Yu Bin to enter the palace of Farhara again: "Your Excellency Rodriguez, I am willing to chat with you for a while, but can you let me meet Lord Navik first?" ”
When he was first caught by Rodriguez in the Falhara Palace, Yu Bin was just a rookie who was not even a first-order creature, and at that time, even if he had the experience accumulated in his previous life, he could not accurately judge Rodriguez's strength, and could only speculate that this skull dragon was by no means an ordinary seventh-order creature. But as Yu Bin has been doing things everywhere in the past few years, whether it is heroic, legendary, or even legendary, he has seen several of them, which makes Yu Bin now more clearly judge which level the opponent's strength is.
This was also the reason why he took out the rune sword as soon as he saw Rodriguez, because he could easily feel that what a powerful soul fire was contained in the body of this skull dragon, even with Yu Bin's current strength, the information perceived through the soul touch skill could not fully show all of Rodriguez's information.
This means that this skull dragon either has some powerful skills that can hide its own abilities, or its strength surpasses Yu Bin too much, at least a senior legendary.
The blue flames in Rodriguez's eyes were like the pupils of a giant dragon, and under his control, he glanced at Xiao Bai at Yu Bin's feet, and said coldly: "Follow me!" If the lowly creature under your feet can't hold the breath here, you'll have to walk on your own two legs! In that case, even if you die, then Vic-sama has no reason to blame me! ”
Yu Bin, who understood that this skull dragon was in the communiqué, immediately let Xiao Bai put himself on the ground, and then ordered the two-headed frost dragon, which was obviously frightened, to leave the place where the bones were buried and wait for him on the coast of Amasia where he had logged in before: "Your Excellency Rodriguez, I don't mind enjoying this journey, but I don't think Lord Navik is afraid that he is not willing to wait too long." ”
"Crawlers! Are you threatening me? Rodriguez trampled Xiaobai, who hadn't had time to escape, under his feet with one claw, and looked down at Yu Bin condescendingly, his huge body was like a small mountain, which made Yu Bin subconsciously have the idea of escaping.
But Yu Bin's special talents [Fearless] and [Transcendental] allowed him to resist the coercion exuded by Rodriguez, and he also believed that if it wasn't for Navic controlling him behind his back, how could he have just entered the burial ground for a day before he would run into Rodriguez who was out on patrol. Probabilistically speaking, this is simply a small probability event that cannot happen.
So he decided that Rodriguez wouldn't dare to hurt him, at least not kill him!
A man and a dragon just looked at each other.
It took a few minutes for Rodriguez to breathe out a pale blue breath from his nostrils, raise his claws, and throw Xiaobai out, and then quickly grabbed Yu Bin, and with a bang, he soared into the air in a huge air current, and flew towards the Farhara Palace.
Yu Bin knew that he had won this gamble!
Rodriguez's actions meant that Navic had apparently known his whereabouts and was even looking forward to his arrival. Otherwise, as a legendary-level existence, and Rodriguez, who also had some dirty feelings with Yu Bin, how could he let him survive so easily.
In Yu Bin's speculation, if all this was not driven by Navic behind his back, then just by virtue of Yu Bin's offense just now, Rodriguez would be enough to kill Yu Bin on the spot, even if this skull dragon did not kill Yu Bin for the sake of Navik's face, it would at least slaughter Xiaobai, and then make Yu Bin seriously injured and disabled, and finally throw it to Navik as experimental materials.
That's the price you have to pay for casually offending a Legendary! In the world of Ntagre, even the orderly camp that advocates kindness and justice will not defend Yu Bin who made such a move. This is a privilege enjoyed by the strong, and the weak must pay tribute to the strong!
This bad journey reminded Yu Bin of the first time he was captured by Rodriguez, and he didn't expect to be able to relive it again, which made Yu Bin cry and laugh very much. As for Xiaobai, Yu Bin no longer had the heart to worry about the foodie dragon. Anyway, Xiao Bai's current strength is almost at the peak of the fifth order, and it is not far from the sixth order, plus the position they were in just now is not the center of the buried bones, relying on Xiao Bai's strength, as long as Rodriguez's claw does not cause too serious injuries, it is at least possible to escape back to the coast. Maybe this experience can also stimulate the blood in Xiaobai's body, and Mansaconko has put a lot of chips on this foodie dragon.
Of course, if the luck is really bad and Xiaobai dies here, Yu Bin will not be too sad. On the one hand, there is still a real ancient dragon in the mausoleum under Naxxramas, where the poor black dragon princess is being trained and studied by the Devouring Snake, and on the other hand, if Yu Bin's speculation is correct, when he leaves the Farhala Palace, it will be enough to resurrect Xiaobai into a real undead bone dragon!
In any case, the palace of Farhala, which looks like an ancient Greek temple, slowly appeared in front of Yu Bin, where he was about to usher in his most important adventure and solve some of the mysteries that had plagued him for a long time!
