Chapter 034 [Canyon Raiders]
As a fat man who is budget-conscious, Gargamel has already bought the essentials for this trip in the nearest city, and he will not be stupid enough to come here and be slaughtered.
Most of the things here are transported from nearby towns, and then sold out several times, as for some equipment and props, they are often taken from the dead people, because there are many people who come here to adventure, but Akatsuki Canyon is indeed an extremely dangerous place, one can die if you are not careful, and the casualty rate of entering is very high.
If it's a dead man's thing, no matter how cheap it is, it feels very unlucky, even if it looks new.
However, after taking care of the feelings of the two thighs on this trip, sometimes you still have to be a little warmer.
"That, Sister Sha, do you have anything you want to buy, such as buying a few baked cakes or something, and keep them as rations?"
"No need, it's all garbage here, and I never pick when it comes to food," Keisha frowned, she could see that she was still not very comfortable, "It's better to be careful when you're out and about, those things aren't necessarily clean, now I can make magic bread and water, enough for the next survival, enter the Akatsuki Canyon, and equip everything lightly." ”
Keisha knows far more about the experience of survival in the wild than Gargamel, and her ability has been improved to the second order, and the pseudo-star element provided by the Elemental Heart can allow her to cast third-order magic, and the third-order arcane magic includes making magic water and bread, and survival in the wild is enough.
It would be even more perfect if you could release the fourth-order magic now, there is a portal in the fourth-order magic of the arcane system, as long as you set a safe coordinate in the reserved city in advance, you can open the portal at any time, and after completing the task, you can teleport directly from the dangerous place to the city you want to return to.
So, the three of them walked through the heavy bazaar and came to the entrance of the Akatsuki Gorge.
At the entrance of the canyon, the mercenary guild specially made a city gate to prevent the mutated creatures in the canyon from escaping, and there were even special guards to guard it.
Keisha led the two of them through this security door and officially entered the Akatsuki Canyon.
At this time, take out the task list, and the words on it will gradually appear as you reach the task location.
[Objective]: Monster cleanup.
[Description]: The mutated creatures in the Akatsuki Canyon multiply too quickly, causing the creatures inside to begin to invade outward, causing great danger to nearby towns, and our task is to control their numbers. At this time, there are three ways to complete the task, one is to turn in 100 Sharp Teeth of the Steel Tooth Spider, the second is to turn in 20 Sharp Teeth of the Flower Nose Spider, and the third is to turn in one of the Crystal Nuclei of the Blood Giant.
After looking at the objectives of the mission, all three of them counted.
In this way, the task is nothing more than three modes, one is to win by quantity, three people solve 100 of the most garbage steel tooth spiders, as for 20 flower nose spiders, the difficulty of a single one is definitely greater than that of steel tooth spiders, as for the blood giant, it looks like a small boss level, as long as you solve one, you can let the three people pass the task in order, the difficulty can be imagined.
As an acquaintance with the existence of the Akatsuki Canyon, Keisha was well aware of the difficulty of this mission.
The steel-toothed spider belongs to the existence of the fourth order, and it does not move fast, but the defense is high, and if it is a warrior to deal with it, it will be a headache, and if one is accidentally bitten, it is often directly taken away with a life. And the flower-kissed spider is a more powerful existence than the steel-toothed spider, an existence of nearly the fifth order, not only has excellent defense, but its body is colorful and poisonous, as long as it is rubbed, even the antidote that blows the sky outside can't solve that kind of poison. As for the blood giant, it is only a monster of nearly three meters, with a ferocious appearance, rough skin and thick flesh, violent characteristics, and combat power above the sixth order, which depends on the ontogeny.
If it is said to be the fastest way to get through the task, it is obvious that it is the fastest to solve the blood giant, and you can go back happily if you get one, but to solve a blood giant above the sixth order, it is really a bit reluctant, and the danger is very great, and those powerful things are not said that you can find them if you want to, and the most important thing is that the powerful side is also accompanied by a group of younger brothers.
If you want to go directly to the Blood Giant, you often have to deal with its group of younger brothers, and even drag yourself into the most dangerous situation, and neither Rorona nor Gargamel are the kind of people with a lot of combat experience, so everything is stable, and Keisha decides to choose the stupidest way to deal with 100 steel tooth spiders.
Such a choice is actually very inconsistent with Keisha's character, but who told her that the one who came in the past two days, and the unstable state may lead to accidents.
At the same time, this will also train Rorona and Gargamel's proficiency in the use of magic, otherwise, Keisha alone can get 100 steel-toothed spiders, and it will only take a little more time.
The Akatsuki Gorge is very large, even if you keep walking, you can't get out for a few days, not to mention, the canyon here is winding, and sometimes the terrain is narrow, so it takes longer to get halfway.
The place I just entered was the eastern part of the Akatsuki Canyon, and here, the outermost circle was solved by ordinary mercenaries, so there were often not many creatures in the first half of the day's journey, and I occasionally encountered a few ordinary giant poisonous spiders.
Originally, this canyon was originally a very beautiful place, but due to the appearance of the Akatsuki Demon, this area was completely polluted, and the vast majority of creatures were extinct, only a very small part survived, but it also mutated into terrible monsters, brutal and warlike, and at the same time, there was a group of terrifying large spiders here, of different kinds, in the mission description, only some common creatures appeared in the east of the canyon, and the west of the canyon had some more terrifying creatures, and there, it was also the key place to enter the Akatsuki Demon Cave.
After continuing to walk for an hour, as the number of mercenaries on the periphery decreased, they finally encountered their first mission target, a steel-toothed spider.
"Okay, fat man, it's time to test your learning," Keisha raised her eyebrows, "After so many days, the little thing I taught you can also be applied to actual combat, otherwise it will be tantamount to learning in vain." ”
"Now?!"
Gargamel shuddered when he heard that Keisha had asked her to single-handedly pick out a steel-toothed spider.
The steel-toothed spider is also a fourth-order creature, he is just a third-order trial student, how can it be its opponent, kill monsters according to the requirements of the task, almost three people can attack the steel-toothed spider together to have a higher chance of winning, and one person, even if he fights hard, he may not be able to fight.
"Don't worry, it's just a steel-toothed spider, I'm watching," Keisha said slowly, "If you don't even have the guts, it's useless for me to teach you no matter how powerful the magic is." ”
