Chapter 25: The Abyss of Terror

The next day, the tailor's shop

"Master, you're early, I'm here to get the silver wolf skin cloak." I said respectfully to that grandmaster-level good rice.

"Oh, Childe, hehe, you're too polite, the little girl is ashamed, come, come in, our store is in sufficient supply, all kinds of professional equipment are available, and the quality is guaranteed, it is the first choice equipment store for fighting monsters and leveling." You come in and see, what is the eye-catching straight tube said, our price is absolutely fair, if the one-time purchase is full of a certain value, you can also get a discount. The girl greeted warmly, it was completely different from three days ago, as if she had changed from a different person.

"This, this master, I'm here to get the cloak of the Silver Wolf King, you asked me to come three days ago, have you forgotten."

"Oh, hehe, I turned out to be here to get the cloak, hehe, Childe, you recognized the wrong person, what you saw that day was my sister, I was his sister, hehe, we are twins, Childe, wait, I'll call him now" said and walked inside.

Dizzy, why are there virtual characters and twins, this system is too good at spoofing. Sure enough, it didn't take long for two identical girls to come out, and I couldn't tell the difference between the two of them, so I had to say, "Two masters, I'm here to get the cloak, please make it convenient." ”

When the two girls saw me like this, they couldn't help laughing, and finally the girl on the left said, "Hehe, sister, don't tease him, you can take out the things quickly, Childe, please." He led me to the front desk. No, the other girl came to me with a white cloak and took it and looked at it.

Silver Wolf Cloak, Swordsman, and Knight use Iron-based Medium Grade, use Level 10, Defense 10-13, Agility +1, Accuracy +1, Durability 200/200.

It's not bad, although it's not the best, but it's also very good, after all, the current players are relatively poor, and it's good to have 1 or 2 iron products, and I have two iron products alone, and there are also treasure-level ebony swords, hehe, there are few people in the whole "Peerless" who can be better equipped than me.

After paying 50 taels of silver, I just wanted to leave, but was stopped by the younger sister, "Hey, idiot, the badge you brought is the Golden Swordsman Badge, right?" (The level of the badge can be hidden, so that ordinary players can't see it, unless it's a player who has learned detective skills, of course, it's useless to NPCs]) asked, pointing to my badge.

"Yes, Master, is there anything going on?" I asked, puzzled.

"It's a pity that you're not a mercenary now, let's wait for you to become a mercenary."

In confusion I left the tailor's shop, it seems that this is a task, but I am not qualified to take it now. You have to be a mercenary.

Mercenary is an identity given by the system, and the system stipulates that only the mercenary status can accept the task, (except for the novice village, of course) to get rewards, which is the inevitable choice for most players to survive in the future.

It is not easy to become a mercenary at this stage, first of all, the level requirement is level 20, and then you have to go through the assessment of the mercenary union, only through their test, you will be recognized by the system and become a qualified mercenary.

There are also strict levels among mercenaries, which are divided into A, B, C, D, E, F, G, 7 levels, each level can only undertake tasks of the corresponding level, of course, the higher the level, the greater the reward. The effort is always proportional to the return.

Every player who has just become a mercenary automatically becomes a G-level mercenary, and can only undertake the lowest level tasks in the system, of course, you can also be promoted, as long as you pass the promotion task given by the system, you can be promoted to F-level, but when you become an F-level mercenary, you must do tasks to accumulate a certain number of mercenary points before you can be promoted again, and the further you go, the higher the difficulty of promotion.

After replenishing the medicine, I started my life fighting monsters again, and this time I chose to target the Abyss of Terror. According to the "Monster Fighting Map", the Abyss of Terror is a large underground land of the undead, and there are entrances to the Abyss of Terror in every city, and the entrance to the edge of the Imperial City is called the Altar of Oblivion.

The map does not specify how many layers of the Abyss of Terror there are, but only records the details of the monsters in the first three layers.

The first layer, skeleton warriors, level 12-15 monsters have strong attack and defense, but their relative speed is relatively slow, and they basically have no IQ. Captain Skeleton's level 20 monster is relatively strong in all aspects, and he also has a certain command ability. The boss of the first layer of Skeleton General, level 30 As for its ability, you will know it when you see it.

If the first tier is melee, then the second tier is ranged, with a level 15-17 skeleton archer, a level 18-21 skeleton mage, and a skeleton general with ranged attack capabilities, level 35.

The third layer is a mixed formation, with long-range melee attacks, not only is the level generally increased by 2 levels, but there are also a small number of skeleton knights mixed in it, and the monsters of level 28 are not knights, although they don't know knight skills, but ordinary rampage is enough for people to bear.

The reason why I chose this place is because, first of all, there are a lot of monsters here, which can speed up my leveling speed, although the risk is also high, but I am mainly leveling at the first level, and it is estimated that it will not be too difficult to rely on the "flying star". Secondly, according to the map description, the monsters here will explode iron weapons, hehe, weapons are very profitable at this time. The main thing is that you can explode skill books here, which is what I need the most right now. Of course, there are fewer players here is also a reason, hehe, the simulation degree of "Peerless" is so high, who would have nothing to do with this kind of miserable place.

Since I decided to do so, I went to the waypoint (there is a waypoint because of the distance), paid the wayway, and teleported directly to the Altar of Oblivion.

The Altar of Oblivion is a dilapidated altar located 60 kilometers from the Imperial City in the Forgotten Forest. The Forgotten Forest is shrouded in a gray mist all year round, and even the trees are slightly grayish-white. There are no animals in the entire Forgotten Forest, and some of them are scattered among the grass in the forest.

Coming out of the waypoint, the empty and dilapidated hall was sparsely populated with only a few dozen players, and there were many rotting corpses around those players. The rotting corpse is a monster in the altar of oblivion, and at level 10, except for its disgusting appearance, all other abilities are very ordinary, especially if the speed is even slower. But if you're besieged by a few carrioners, it's not comfortable. At this time, a player was accidentally surrounded by more than a dozen carrion corpses, no matter how the player struggled to break through, but he could not break through the enemy's encirclement, so the encirclement became smaller and smaller, and finally with a terrible howl that did not seem to come out of the mouth, the player's flesh and blood bitten by the carrion corpses flew sideways, shattered, and soon a carrion corpse turned into by the player was completed. Seeing all this, many players immediately began to vomit, and many players returned to the city because they couldn't stand it. This leaves fewer players than they already have to be scarce.

Hehe, it seems that this is really a paradise for leveling, the "flying star" in the left hand flashed, and the ebony sword in the right hand danced like flying, so I killed into the strange group. Compared to the orcs, these carrion corpses are inferior in every aspect, and if it weren't for the sheer number of people and its disgusting appearance, it would probably be a good material for practicing basic skills.

Because my purpose was not for the carrion, I quickly made my way through the corpses towards the altar. And those remaining players saw that I was so powerful, and actually broke through the group of carrion alone, and those who were curious also planned to move in the direction of the altar like me, but unfortunately because my breakthrough just now attracted a lot of carrion, because they were slow so it didn't affect me, but the later ones were not good, several people were besieged by dozens or even hundreds of carrion corpses, and finally under the outnumbered, they also turned into carrion corpses, everyone saw this, and they were scared to return to the city immediately, in an instant, There is not a single player left in the entire hall except for the rotting corpses.

And at this moment, after breaking through the group of rotting corpses, I ran towards the altar. In front of the huge altar, there is a teleportation array that flashes with a strange black light, standing on the edge of the array, a chill wells up in my heart, it seems that this is the teleportation point to go to the terrifying abyss, I made up my mind, and I resolutely stepped on the teleportation array.

This is a dark world, except for the faint mrigal fires on both sides of the cave wall, there is no light at all, and the wind blowing from the corner of the cave from time to time, there is a "woo" sound, which sounds really scary. Fortunately, I didn't have any special reaction to this kind of thing, and I think my grandfather told me to spend the night alone in the cemetery. After pausing for a moment and getting used to my surroundings, I walked forward.

Over time, I've become familiar with this place. It's like a huge labyrinth, there are a lot of forks of all kinds, dotted around, complex like a spider's web, the monsters here are generally 3 or 2 groups, and there are very few single monsters. Using the far-reaching skill of the "Flying Star" and the strong attack power of the ebony sword, I am here with ease, even if I encounter a large-scale skeleton warrior, I use my speed to throw them away from afar, looking at the soaring experience, I am that happy, hehe, it's good to have a lot of weirdness.

In the blink of an eye, I spent 5 days in this miserable place, and during these 5 days I was dealing with these skeletons every day, and now my level is 16. In the past 5 days, I have traveled a lot of places, and I have beaten a few skeleton captains, but unfortunately they are all poor ghosts, except for a few broken iron swords, nothing can be found, but what makes me glad is that in this ghostly place, there is actually a grocery store.

The grocery store is not big, and the sparrows are small but they are complete, what medicines, weapons, and equipment are all available, although they are not as rich as outside, but what else can you ask for in this kind of place? The only thing that makes people angry is that everything here is 1 times higher than the outside, and some are even 2 times taller, and the purchased things can only be described as cheap sales, looking at the old man who looks like a profiteer at a glance, I really want to cut him down, but for the sake of this huge area is only one black shop, I still can't help it.

Still struggling in the dark, although loneliness has no effect on me at all, loneliness is the partner who has accompanied me to grow up for so many years. Now those skeleton warriors don't pose any threat to me, I can even resist several of them alone, and under the powerful attack power of the ebony sword, the average skeleton warrior can't withstand my 3 heavy blows. With all my might, the bones and sticks flew around, and it was a spectacular sight.

Gradually, I entered an abandoned underground hall, a small hall, with doors open on all sides, and four huge torches stuck in the walls, illuminating the hideous and terrifying ghost murals on the walls, making the originally eerie place even more chilling. I've been to this place once, the last time I entered from the east and went out from the north, but it took a big detour without any danger. This time I chose the path to the south, cleared the skeleton warriors in front of me, and walked towards the south gate.
