34. Warcraft Canyon
Anna. Big Stomach King. Salted fish. Angels, aspiring to be the world's greatest salted fish gourmet!
What is Salted Fish Foodie?
Probably just because you don't have to do anything every day, countless delicious things are automatically delivered to your door.
Such a great idea could not have been achieved even by the daughter of Tria XI - provided that the man who now rises high on the throne has a daughter. But in any case, under normal circumstances, even a royal child would not be a salted fish gourmet.
But Anna is different.
She has a unique condition: a good father.
You must know that Su Yan is not an ordinary person.
Although he still doesn't know how strong the people in this world are, at least if he wants to, he can definitely single-handedly overturn the entire Tria Kingdom. But in this case, I'm afraid no one will believe that he is not a supervillain.
Between establishing good and correct values for his daughter and being a supervillain, Su Yan decided to choose to be a good father who dotes on his daughter.
However, as far as the current situation is concerned, I am afraid there is still a long way to go if I want my daughter to be a salted fish.
Because he now has another mission on his side: to go to the Monster Canyon to collect materials.
This trip took one day longer than Su Yan expected: after leaving Akara City, Su Yan kept traveling day and night, and finally arrived at this Warcraft Canyon in the afternoon of the eighth dayβthis name, Su Yan heard from Tony.
Originally, this canyon did not have a name, but for some reason, after a certain day, it was obscured by a large amount of fog, especially at night, when the fog turned into a dense fog, and the visibility was not even three meters. Moreover, the monsters in the canyon will also become particularly fierce at night, so generally no one will enter this canyon at night.
It is precisely because this place has gradually become a place where Warcraft gathers that the surrounding people call this place Warcraft Canyon.
When Tony came to invite Su Yan to join Tidemis' Rose that day, although Su Yan finally chose to refuse, Tony expressed regret about this. However, after he learned that Su Yan and his Storm Mercenary Group had taken over the mission of the Warcraft Canyon, he still told Su Yan some of the information they already knew.
The mutation produced by this canyon did cause the mercenary guild to be highly vigilant for a while, and they even contacted the adventurer guild through the headquarters, and then the two sides sent people to Warcraft Canyon together to investigate. It was precisely because of that period that the difficulty of the mission in Warcraft Canyon was once listed as a gold-level difficulty, in order to prevent anyone from going to Warcraft Canyon at this time and disturbing the investigation work of these people.
However, in the end, the mercenary guild and the adventurer's guild teamed up, but they couldn't find any results, but determined that this canyon would become more dangerous once it was night, and the specific cause of the formation of the fog could only be attributed to the change of natural climate. So later, the Mercenary Guild re-canceled the difficulty of the mission, but since then, no mercenary has taken on this task.
It stands to reason that Tedmis's Rose and Spear of Freedom should be able to solve this task smoothly, but both sides find this task more troublesome and don't know how much time it will take to complete, so they don't bother to pay attention to it.
But Su Yan still heard another meaning from Tony's suggestive words: Warcraft Canyon is very dangerous, and there is no need to take risks unless it is necessary.
The biggest difference between mercenaries and adventurers is that mercenaries will avoid all risks as much as possible and minimize the danger; Adventurers, on the other hand, are a group of adventurous and thrill-seeking guys, so they don't care about risk.
After listening to Tony's words, Su Yan was embarrassed because he had misunderstood Tedmis's Rose Mercenary Group.
But now, after personally arriving at the Warcraft Canyon and seeing the so-called fog of this canyon with his own eyes, Su Yan now has only one idea.
"What a bullshit mercenary guild, what a spicy chicken adventurer guild, it's all a bunch of waste scum!" Su Yan snorted coldly, "This dead air is so thick that it has turned into a fog, and you haven't seen anything wrong?" Are these people all fools? β
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Xiao Anna looked at Su Yan who was muttering something in a low voice with some curiosity, and asked.
"My dear, can you feel anything when you look at the fog?"
Anna followed the direction Su Yan pointed, looked at the smoke that filled the canyon, and then shook her head slightly: "No." Is there something wrong? β
Su Yan's brows furrowed slightly.
In his opinion, Anna has two special talents, [Elven Perception] and [Magical Affinity], so she should be aware of the special conditions of the fog in front of her. After all, elves are a special species that admires nature and life, and death qi is definitely the biggest enemy of vitality, and elves should instinctively dislike it.
But now, Anna didn't react at all, which was a little strange.
Is it because Anna is only a half-elf and not a pure-blooded elf?
"And do you feel any difference in those fogs?" However, Su Yan did not intend to let go of the educational opportunity in front of him.
"Hmm......" Little Anna tried hard to observe and think for a moment before she spoke, "Those fogs are so strange, they seem to be confined to the canyon. β
The mountain walls on both sides of the Monster Canyon are not sloped valleys, but strange rocky, steep and steep stone walls. There is no vegetation on either the sides of the rock wall or the top of the mountain, and it is not known whether the original canyon is in this form, or whether it is because of the dense fog that has condensed the dead air, so that the current situation has formed.
The distance between the two mountain walls is about 300 meters, and the valley depth is about 500 meters.
The pale white fog filled the canyon, which made the whole canyon look like a beast with its mouth open and constantly licking its tongue around it, full of strange and menacing aura.
Su Yan really wanted to complain, are those guys blind?
Even if they couldn't feel the dead air in the canyon, but this canyon looked so weird, didn't they know that this was a murderous place?
"Aside from feeling these strange places?" Su Yan asked again, "Do you feel anything different from usual?" For example, the flow of magic, or ...... What is the smell of the air? β
"Hmm...... the little guy tilted his head, frowning and thinking in distress, "there's a ...... Very strange taste. β
"Strange smell?" Su Yan was a little curious, "Can you smell it?" β
"No, the wind told me." Anna spoke.
Su Yan only remembered at this time that Anna had the talent of [Wind Whisperer]. He didn't care too much about this talent before, after all, for the elven race, this talent can almost be regarded as an instinct, but as far as the current situation is concerned, it is obvious that the practicality of this talent is much higher than that of other talents, and it can almost be regarded as a type of panacea.
"What kind of smell is that?" Su Yan asked.
"The same taste as Daddy!" This time, the little guy replied very smoothly and quickly, "Well, because it tastes the same as Dad, I subconsciously ignored it at first." β
Su Yan's face darkened a little.
Especially Anna's last sentence, it was like digging out Su Yan's heart and stabbing it again.
Su Yan felt that he was likely to need a first-aid heart pill.
But is there such a thing in this world?
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Anna tilted her head and asked with a puzzled expression, the expression that looked so cute.
"No, nothing." Su Yan shook his head and forcibly endured the throbbing pain in his heart, "My daughter." You have to remember that if you don't be with your dad and you smell this smell in the future, then you have to run as far as you can until you find a safe place, or stay away from this smell, you know? β
"Oh." Anna nodded, indicating that she understood, "What if there is no safe place?" β
Don't have a safe place?
Su Yan thought about it very seriously.
What to do with undead monsters?
Then Su Yan suddenly found that this seemed to be a topic to discuss!
It's far from being explained in a few words.
"This question, if you have the chance, Dad will explain it to you well." Su Yan thought for a moment, and then spoke, "But you have to remember that ordinary undead creatures, as long as they are summoned, then the fastest solution is to stun the summoner." Of course, if it is an undead creature summoned or crafted by a special means, then it can only be solved by targeting weaknesses. β
"Weakness?"
"Take skeletons and ghouls, for example." Su Yan opened his mouth to explain, and his intuition told him that in this so-called Demon Beast Canyon, he would definitely encounter this kind of undead creatures, "Skeletons are the most common undead creatures, and they are usually transformed from corpses. The physical way to deal with this is to smash their skulls, and if it's magic, then fire, light, and the like can work wonders. β
"What about ghouls?" Anna asked, curious.
"Ghouls can be a bit more troublesome, especially for physical professions." Su Yan said, "Ghouls have a certain amount of toxins on their skin because of their special scavenging properties, and if they are touched without any protective measures, they will produce poisoning, paralysis and the like. And if the toxin is not cured in time, it will gradually deepen, and will eventually transform any living creature that the ghoul comes into contact with into a walking corpse. β
"Are they also afraid of fire and light? And smash your head? β
"Yes, all undead creatures are afraid of magic like fire and light to some degree." Su Yan was very satisfied with Anna's comprehension and receptivity, "However, ghouls are special, they are half-undead creatures, so if you deal with them, in addition to smashing their heads, you can also solve them by destroying their hearts." β
"Oooh!" Anna nodded, she always felt that Su Yan must have some purpose in explaining these things to herself, "Then Dad, will there be these monsters in that canyon?" β
Su Yan laughed, he reached out and rubbed the little guy's head: "It's worthy of being my daughter, just smart." Yes, this canyon has clearly been infected by the aura of the undead, and although I don't know exactly what the situation is, it is not easy to do it now. β¦β¦ If you don't get it right, there will be a lot of undead demonic beasts in it. β
"That'...... Are we still going in? β
"Of course, we're here to get the job done." Su Yan nodded, "If we don't finish it, we will have to deduct a lot of money." β¦β¦ What, are you scared? β
"Not really!" Anna snorted angrily, "As long as Dad is here, I'm not afraid of anything!" β
Su Yan didn't say anything more, he rubbed the little guy's head lightly, and then picked her up and put her on his shoulder: "Let's go, let's go and see who is pretending to be a ghost in this canyon." β
