The Shadow Ruins are undoubtedly a hell of a place for adventurers, mercenaries, or professional explorers in the Okazawa region, and the description of the ghosts expresses the complaints of those who have visited the place, and also reminds future generations to beware of the illusory monsters in the ruins of this dungeon with a figure of pun.

The hazy, translucent ghosts that hover in the darkness of the ruins, the smell of a living creature that swoops down on you like a moth that has found the light of fire, or the bull with red cloth, the truth of the two metaphors depends on your strength.

If you're strong enough, those ghostly undead monsters are fiery moths to you, and may even become servants who submit to you, if you're a high-ranking evil priest, necromancer, or black guard.

The Shadow Ruins is a level 20 dungeon area in the game, and Urs can't guarantee that his team will be able to burn the virtual undead monsters in the ruins of this dungeon like moths, but the Intermediate Resistance Potion provided by the Adventurers' Guild will protect everyone's character attributes at least in a series of battles in the near future.

For example, an experienced mage will never rush to lose the fireball spell first when dealing with a squad of warriors, but often choose to use the flying technique to rise to the air as soon as possible, and then put on a magic barrier to protect himself from long-range weapons.

If there are many difficulties that must be overcome in the kitchen knife profession to challenge the legal profession, then the ability to fly is the first watershed threshold. Relying on the power of equipment and props to cross this threshold, the second level is the more difficult level of small-area space teleportation spells such as "Any Gate", followed by the "Invisibility Technique" as the third level, the "Protective Magic Weapon" as the fourth level, and the "Living Object Force Field" as the fifth level...... In the face of the profession of pro-son, sometimes you don't know what despair is if you don't work hard.

In short, on an analogy level, the alchemy potion that provides immunity to the Drain buff is the "Flying Technique" of the squad.

Since the day's travel had consumed a lot of energy on the way, and since it was already evening, Urs and Grolayden did not rush to urge the team to hurry up and carry out this adventure, but chose to camp for the night in a suitable place not far from the entrance of the cave.

The young man wants his team to be in the best shape for the current quest, and the old thief knows that his enemy is close at hand.

He doesn't have to rush every minute of progress. The shadow dragon had no reason to escape from the lair he had built deep in the ruins, and neither could he escape the cage of obsession in his heart. Completing revenge, or dying in the process of revenge, both of these scenarios are acceptable endings for him, but he naturally hopes that the former situation has a higher probability of coming true.

So they rested for the night, and early the next morning on the fourth day from the time they accepted the mission, everyone in the Thorn Squad cheered up and officially entered the cave entrance of the ruins.

The entrance to the dungeon of the shadow ruins looks no different from the ordinary mountain rock cave from the outside, the black cave entrance is like a balcony with open windows hanging on a mountain rock wall in the Russ Canyon, the sun's rays cannot illuminate the darkness inside anyway due to the angle, and if you want to climb up from the flat ground, you need at least an expedition rope with a hook lock, and throw it from the bottom to the top to hook the uneven rock surface at the entrance of the cave.

The skill of climbing was not a problem for the thief Gloriden, but this little episode made it difficult for Koto, who had made himself like a tin can.

"I hate rock climbing, especially in armor!" He chattered and complained, and the last one pulled the rope up with the help of his companions, "The warriors of the clan should be active in the battle against strong enemies, and Xiao Meng thinks so too!" ”

With that, he looked back and gently patted the so-called soul and wisdom stew pot that was fastened to his back along with his backpack, and then pulled out the +1 warhammer hanging from his waist and held it in his hand, with an excited expression that I was ready to fight.

Urs told him, "Don't worry, there's enough for you to cut in a moment." ”

"You mean the shadow dragon, Captain?"

"You're not afraid of dragons?"

"Haha! What can there be to be afraid of? The dwarf laughed heartily and eagerly raised his war hammer and tower shield to the sky, "You must know that in the days on the plateau, the warriors of the Hearthfire Clan are never afraid of the white dragon!" That kind of big guy is very capable of fighting, and every time it attacks, it takes several lives from the clan, but in the end it is just a giant lizard with wings! ”

Listening to the dwarf's brave speech, the young man nodded his head with tears and laughter, and said in his heart that he was a giant lizard.

Although the white dragon is called the five-colored dragon by the players in the game because he has both the blood of the dragon and the intelligence of the beast before he becomes an adult, he is still a real dragon, isn't it? The throat cavity can breathe frost, the wings can soar into the sky, the pupils can release dragon power, and at least the lifespan is fifty-nine seconds longer than that of ordinary large lizards.

The so-called ignorant are fearless, and Koto's bravery may be due to his own limited intelligence.

But Urs never underestimated such people. If a person is born with an intellectual deficiency but is very good at the other five basic attributes and has a heart like a stone, then you should never try to defeat him, because he or she does not know what it means to give up.

You can kill him, destroy him, and even use the power of magic to try to dominate him, but you just can't thwart his original will......

A few minutes later, the team entered the cave of the ruins, and walked in a formation led by Groleiden with glowing stones in a row of vaulted tunnels about five meters wide and high, so large that this time everyone did not have to bend over like they did in the secret path tunnel in the Shadow Cave of the Spotted Axe Forest, and the people were lined up at a little distance from each other, and then unexpectedly a farcical "rear-end crash" occurred because of a dwarf who was not very dexterous.

The outermost scene of the entire dungeon area of the shadow ruins is indeed such a vaulted cave tunnel with the size of a hall, as the footsteps of everyone get closer and closer to the dark depths, and a certain slope is gradually shown to slope downward, and the path made of rock gradually narrows, and finally after a period of time, it completely transforms into a neat structure like a mausoleum corridor.

At this time, Gloridon, who was walking in front of the team to explore the way, also took the lead in stopping the pace of leading the team at a uniform pace, because he sensed some malicious choice to target everyone from the darkness of the corridor in front of his vision, and reminded everyone: "Stop...... Something is coming. ”

“…… Prepare for battle. ”
