Chapter Seventy-Two: On the Platform
When Chen Zhuo woke up again, Charles was already exercising outside, and he didn't seem to be in any big trouble, and when he saw Chen Zhuo coming out of the tent, he greeted him: "Yo, Brother Chen, get up." ”
Chen Zhuo looked at Charles back and forth a few times, then patted his body and said, "Charles, do you still have healing functions when you sleep?" ”
Marcus, who was packing up the tent on the side, hurriedly continued: "You're right, Chen, the louder the snoring, the faster the good!" ”
Charles hurriedly defended: "Nonsense, how did I not know that I snore!" ”
Marcus was stunned by Charles's words, glanced at Chen Zhuo, and said to Naxi in turn: "Naxi really doesn't know how you can endure Charles's snoring. ”
Naxi covered her mouth and smiled, but didn't say anything. After everyone packed up the tent and began to sit in a circle to eat, Marcus said: "We now have 5 wailing essences, there are still 5 missing, and there are currently two options: 1, go up from the winding mountain road of the inner cave here, there are a lot of small soft feelings here, and the plant monsters on the road are not very dangerous, but I don't know what is on the top." 2, we went back the way we came, to the corner near the entrance of the cave, and the people who went there gave us a lot of information that there were no deadly creatures, but I don't know if there was any ooze monster we wanted. Of course, no matter which path we choose, we are faced with two known threats: 1. The wounded demon, whose smell Riston has memorized, so he can guard against the demon's sneak attack. 2, Butterfly Demon, we don't know how many butterfly demons are in this cave, but since there are butterfly demons who can find us once, it proves that they can find us a second time. ”
Marcus analyzed it very well, and of course Marcus was the main one who took the idea, he just wanted to hear what Chen Zhuo had to say, as for Charles, Marcus didn't plan to give him time to speak. Chen Zhuo thought for a while and said, "Why don't we continue on this mountain road?" ”
This idea is also what Marcus thought, since seeing Bonnie's true strength, Marcus repositioned the strength of this team once, and found that if Charles was not injured, the creatures of the 5th order would also be capable of fighting, and he immediately had a lot of confidence. "Well, that's what I actually thought. First of all, we came here this time to train ourselves in preparation for going to the Eastern Kingdom, so this place is more to hone us, and there are no creatures above the 4th rank recorded in the Wailing Cave. Secondly, if we turn back and find that there is no little softness there, we will have to turn back again, so we will simply go directly from this winding mountain road. ”
There was no doubt that everyone set off directly, and Charles volunteered to go to the front to show that he was healed. Chen Zhuo, who was walking behind, mentioned creatures above the 4th order when he was listening to Marcus's analysis just now, and suddenly remembered that he had encountered a legendary beast, so he told Marcus about it. Marcus was very surprised when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to go to the place Chen Zhuo said before to see the second-order legendary beast Kresh with his own eyes, although he couldn't be tamed, but it was a great honor for the legendary-level beast to take a look, Marcus was jealous of Chen Zhuo's luck again, but Chen Zhuo didn't think it was any luck, at that time he thought Kresh was going to attack him, and almost called Wukong over.
The group walked up the winding mountain road, there were a lot of plant monsters blocking the way, Charles took the lead, although it was a little hard to deal with this kind of monster for the first time, and then it was much easier, Chen Zhuo didn't enter the battle until the back, watching Charles fight alone from a distance, sometimes Marcus would send Liston up to make a mess, and other times he chatted with Chen Zhuo in the back. After about two hours, he finally reached the top, and it was not the battle that was tiring for Charles, but the climbing.
After climbing to the top of the mountain, everyone found that this is a new platform, and there is sunlight into the cave, and from time to time there are water drops on the rock at the top of the cave, which is more like a karst cave, very wet. The group chose a direction to go along the road in the cave, Marcus had already lit the torches, and everyone was surprised to find that there were many animal carcasses on this road, rabbits, sheep, leopards, could there be any big monsters in front of them? Chen Zhuo began to recall the plots when he played Warcraft before, and remembered that the final boss in the wailing cave was a fishman, could it be that there were fishmen here? Chen Zhuo shook his head, no, the fishman is an amphibian, it should be in a place where there is water, everyone walked dozens of steps, and suddenly became enlightened, there are wooden cabinets next to the cave, there are many medicine bottles on them, all of them are sealed, and then there is a cage with a snake in it, and Chen Zhuo patted it with a beast knowledge.
Cobline's Viper, a Tier 3 Mutated Elite Beast, is dead.
"Yes, Cow Brien! How did I forget about him! ”
Marcus was taken aback by Chen Zhuo's sudden voice and asked, "Chen, do you know this place?" ”
Chen Zhuo nodded and said, "The King of Poisonous Fangs, I forgot what it was called before, he came here and was corrupted by the Wailing Cave and possessed the power of a poisonous snake, it seems that this Cowbrien absorbed the power from this snake and transformed." ”
"The King of Fangs?" Marcus thought over the name, but didn't think of anything, "Riston, watch for any creatures nearby. ”
Chen Zhuo looked at the nearby medicines, there were all kinds of colors, I don't know what these medicines are for, but Chen Zhuo thought in his heart that there was absolutely no good use, here Marcus checked the neighborhood and said, "It seems that there is no one here now." ”
Chen Zhuo thought for a while and said, "Why don't we destroy this place?" ”
Charles looked at the drugs in front of him and was about to touch them, but Marcus hurriedly knocked off Charles's hand and said, "Don't touch it!" Who knows what these medicines will be used for. ”
Bonnie looked at these medicines with interest, although she didn't know what they were for, but the strange colors were also very good-looking, although Chen Zhuo wanted to destroy these medicines at this time, but she also wanted to bring some back to Murray for him and Aland to see what they were for. And the flame imp next to his feet directly picked up a bottle half the size of his body, Chen Zhuo quickly turned around and saw that everyone was not paying attention, picked up the little ghost and put the bottle into his waist bag with the little ghost's hand, Chen Zhuo thought to himself Is this little ghost going to drink it?
In the end, everyone didn't notice Chen Zhuo's small actions here, and burned all the bottles and animal carcasses with a fire, and then retreated.
"Looks like we're on the wrong track."
"Well, try it in the opposite direction."
So everyone started to travel along another road, although the lighting here is not good, but walking and hearing the sound of running water, a closer look only to find that there is also an inland river here, and I don't know where it leads, however, where there is water, it means that there are plants, and there are plants that represent that there are soft mud monsters, Chen Zhuo's sharp eyes found that there are three soft mud monsters gathered together to eat on the other side of the river. So the question is, how to cross the river?
The river is about 5 meters wide, and you can't jump over it no matter how much you jump. There weren't any tree trunks or anything like that, so everyone was caught in a dilemma.
Marcus thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go back to that mountain road, tie the vine monster with a rope, burn it again, and see if we can tie up a light raft?" ”
Everyone nodded, went back to pick up the vines on the road, carried them to the river and tied them, put them on the river, and found that they were really floating, Marcus tied a rope to one end of the rattan raft, and slowly stepped on the rattan raft, and found that he could float on the water, so he squatted on the rattan raft and paddled forward, Charles dragged the rope here, and Riston took off and boarded the rattan raft, which scared Marcus enough, and the rattan raft swayed a few times and splashed a little water before slowly calming down. Marcus successfully crossed the shore, Charles pulled the rattan raft back, Naxi second, Bonnie crossed the river smoothly at Chen Zhuo's request, followed by Chen Zhuo and Charles, one can't swim, the other is too big, the two discussed Chen Zhuo boarded the rattan raft first, Chen Zhuo squatted on it worriedly, and the flame imp also followed the rattan raft, a little fluctuation of the river, Chen Zhuo was surprised to find that there was also a "pearl" under the water here, Chen Zhuo slowly rowed halfway, he suddenly found this "pearl" Getting closer and closer, he suddenly felt wrong, and quickly accelerated the speed of the water, Chen Zhuo fixed his eyes and saw that it was a turtle with a bloody mouth, although it was very slow on land, but when it reached the river, the speed suddenly became faster, Chen Zhuo saw that it was not good, and there was a distance of less than two meters from the shore, a leap jumped up, and in an instant, a big mouth appeared in the waters below Chen Zhuo's vacancy, almost biting Chen Zhuo, Chen Zhuo who fell on the shore was scared into a cold sweat, and even the people on both sides of the bank were startled, Charles shouted directly: "Hey, I won't go over the rattan raft on your side!" Hurry up and come back from the ooze monsters! ”
Marcus ignored Charles and asked Chen Zhuo directly, "What was that thing just now?" ”
Chen Zhuo sat on the ground and said, "Man-eating turtles, I met Bonnie once, they are very slow on land, with high armor and low blood. After a while, the Flame Imp also jumped over from the rattan raft, and there was still a slight drop of water on his body, in fact, Chen Zhuo had forgotten the existence of the Flame Imp just now.
Marcus thought for a moment and said, "In that case, let's hurry up and go back, Naxi, how about you guarding the rattan raft here and watching the stupid big guy in your house by the way?" ”
Naxi nodded, and automatically filtered the second half of the sentence, anyway, the soft mud monster was not far away, Marcus beckoned to Charles, and was pulled into the depths to fight the soft mud monster.
