Chapter 109: Rumors and Gold Mine V
Glo was at the front of the line, and the merchants followed closely. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 It's not that he is willing to explore the way, but after seeing the sword just now, the merchants deliberately put down their steps and look at his figure one by one - in this dark cave, following this person, at least, there is a little more security.
It was really a terrible swordsmanship just now, the merchant sighed in their hearts. They know the mercenaries who blocked them: Barrett, the deputy head of the Rock Mercenary Regiment, Biden, the captain of the second brigade of Song of Ashes, and a ruthless character who messed around in the southern city of Aflon, "Grizzly" Kozmo.
But this adult seems to have enough strength to fight three. The merchants' brilliant insight saw the change in the expression on the mercenary's face, and they had no doubt that it would not be difficult to knock out all the mercenaries if the lord was willing.
But he stopped.
Strong and generous! This is the secret evaluation of the bandit leader by the merchants. However, none of this is true.
Glo remained silent all the way, recalling the before and after of the fight - the tall tower-like man was just a virtual appearance, but the two beside him were by no means ordinary people. In the radar chart of the system, those are two red dots.
They came to the Crypt Mine later. As the two mercenaries approached him, he saw the two faces clearly. At the same time, according to the memories in the game, he also recognized the comers - the indigenous people of Afron, two veteran mercenaries, Barrett "The Iron Hand" and Biden "The Mountain".
If it weren't for the swordsmanship of "Attack Multiplication" to scare them, Glo didn't think that his current self could outperform the three of them combined.
Barrett's profession is [Warrior], while Biden's profession is [Soldier] - they have not yet completed their awakening during this period, but the level of strength is already very good in Afron. Glo also noticed that Biden's left hand was also tied with a small round shield wrapped in copper.
The same career path as in the previous life!
There is nothing too unusual about Biden in [Steel Hand], but Biden in [Mountain] is a figure who is extremely proficient in shield skills. Although the strength of the other party is far from reaching the level of memory, Glo knows that Biden's difficulty is well-known in the mercenary community in the entire Northland.
Glo didn't want to dwell on this.
From the moment he saw this [Crypt Mine], he had already made clear his goal - to farm monsters! Hunt as many cavemen as you can to gain experience and level up.
Fighting with such a piece of kraft candy as Biden is a pointless and time-wasting thing.
The pace of the group was very fast, and they walked three or five hundred steps from the crack entrance of the crypt, and the passage of the cave became wider and wider, but in terms of the slope of the ground, there was gradually a downward trend.
This is a common feature of crypt-type dungeons - after walking some distance, Glo is standing in front of a forked junction, and the merchant Bane is standing next to him, asking for some advice.
Left or right? Or, enter one of these intersections together.
Glo held the torch, and he looked closely at his feet, the two intersections, and they didn't seem to be much different.
On the left, there are messy footprints of different shades, and on the right, the same is true. This was left behind by the farmers who had entered the cave earlier. After a moment's thought, Glo was the first to enter the passage on the right.
He doesn't have a map, which he chooses at random - in the game, unless you get a secondary map scroll for a specific area, dungeon, or ruin, you don't have a map guide when you first enter. In areas such as the Crypt Mine, the map is usually dropped by elite-level monsters, but it can also be purchased from other players. After the first period of time in the game, almost everyone has one scroll for each novice monster farm, so these dropped items become garbage, and are sent back to the NPCs in the city for a low price of two copper plates, or discarded, just like throwing garbage without public morality.
Anyway, items that are not picked up or discarded on the ground will be refreshed by the system after ten minutes.
The crypt went deeper and deeper, and unlike the surface world, the merchants felt the humidity and stuffiness that was rare in this season, and Glo gradually slowed down. The mud beneath his feet was wet, and in the light of the sparse fire, he seemed to see the reflection of the ground, which was some waterlogged crater.
Glo frowned and sniffed hard—a faint smell of sulfur in the humid air.
Cavemen!
In the lore of the game's backstory, these reclusive creatures are considered visitors to hell. They are slaves of the devil who have lived for generations on the banks of the long river of scorching purgatory. Sometimes their people seem to have just come to the surface by chance, but in fact, behind the scenes, they are at the mercy of the devil, acting as the vanguard of the evil of the earth in vain to invade the surface world.
In terms of species classification, this statement seems to make some sense. Glo had read the "Encyclopedia of Species on the Continent" in the Kingdom Library, and if it was divided according to the appearance characteristics of living creatures, it was completely correct that the cave people belonged to the species of devils. However, as the game progresses, most players discover that these creatures living in the dark crypt are not so much servants of the devil as some social animals that resemble primitive humans, have fixed living habits and a certain intelligence.
They need to drink and eat, and their food is usually the rhizomes of plants, rock snakes, guinea pigs, and some rodents that like to dig holes in the burrows. They need sleep, they need warmth, and they carefully use the sulfur powder they collect every day to keep the whole group warm in the cold winter.
It is now late autumn on the mainland. In this place where there is no sunlight underground, the temperature is even lower, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a cold winter, and the smell of sulfur can be found. This shows that this [Crypt Mine] is indeed a cave dwelling, a monster farming map that he is familiar with.
Glo licked his lips with his tongue and placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.
……
The leader of the cavemen, "Red Thorn", paced back and forth on a large, bulging granite rock. It had been his seat, but after a never-ending noise could be heard in the distance, he could no longer sit comfortably.
He felt a little uneasy. Nearby, hundreds of small, slick, bare-skinned cavemen were staring at him. He walked from the east end of the spacious cavern to the west, and the group of cave people turned from east to west with their large, neckless, torso-torso heads; He walked back from west to east, and the cavemen turned their heads back in unison.
They don't have eyes, but they have excellent hearing and thermal vision.
The chief's uneasiness was not unwarranted, for some of the older cavemen in the group also felt the danger coming.
