[Star Mark (Nirvana) has been unlocked to the first level, with a five-point increase in Constitution, a two-point increase in health regeneration, and a current remaining experience of 144.] 】

[Star Scar (Divine Walk) has been unlocked to the first level, agility is increased by 2 points, physical recovery is increased by 4 points, and the current remaining experience is 44. 】

On the way, An Xu used up the experience points he had gained and unlocked two star marks again.

Do the math, I have unlocked seven star marks, and I am only two star marks away from being able to unlock all the star marks, and when I hit the two-star warrior, will there be any new changes?

Thinking of this, An Xu began to look forward to it.

Two-star warriors are already out of the ranks of low-level mercenaries in Hidden Moon City, and even some mercenary teams will not have too many members with more than two-star strength.

In a remote inn, An Xu meets Doudou's companion named Noel.

I have to say that the bits really look quite alike, with the same petite figure! Big eyes, pointed ears, they all look exactly the same, but Noel looks older, and he wears a very interesting pair of goggles that cover almost half of his face, making people laugh.

In fact, as long as you understand the personality of the bits, it is not difficult to get along with them.

Because he was introduced by Doudou, Noel also trusted An Xu a lot, and soon they became acquainted, and Noel told them some information.

"I've already investigated while I'm waiting for you, and the good news is that I've roughly figured out the exact location of the treasure map, and it's still some distance from the Red Collar's territory, so it shouldn't be discovered by the rebels. You see, it's here! ”

Knoll pulled out a map and pointed to a dot on it.

Baiyucheng is not far from the Northern Wilderness Plateau, as long as you pass through this basin, the terrain begins to gradually rise, and if you walk a little further north, you can see the undulating mountain outline of the Northern Wilderness Plateau.

"The bad news is! There are several levels on this road, and we can't get past them at all! Knoll pushed the goggles on his face and said helplessly.

"What then?" Doudou leaned on the table, looking at the map carefully.

An Xu didn't speak, quietly waiting for the following, since Noel said it in such a tone, then he should have thought of a way.

These levels are designed to defend against the rebels, almost all of them are forbidden to pass, and if you try to break in, you may be caught as a spy, and the army there is not a vegetarian.

"So we'll have to take a detour, look here, there's an abandoned mine path at the bottom of this mountain range, from here we can quietly resist the top of the mountain, and then slide over the canyon with a ferrata cable, it's a bit dangerous, but it's the only way!"

Noll spoke his mind, but Doudou remained silent, seemingly studying the feasibility of the plan.

"How long will it take to walk this path?" An Xu asked, this level is not too dangerous, he has been to more difficult terrain, he is worried about whether he can come back in time.

Knoll calculated and said, "It's going back and forth for about a week, if nothing else!" ”

This is Doudou finally came back to his senses, touched his chin and said: "I think this plan is feasible, although it is a little detour, but the risk is small, this mission is very important, it is better to be stable." ”

"Then it's decided, let's rest for half a day and set off in the evening when there are fewer people!" An Xu also agreed.

He and Doudou hadn't closed their eyes for a day and a night, and they needed to replenish their strength, and at this time, Noel had to prepare some tools that needed to be used.

According to Doudou, Knoll himself is a very powerful master craftsman, and his alchemy hand crossbow is made by Knoll.

In the evening, the three of them left the White Jade City in a low-key manner and headed towards the Northern Wilderness Plateau.

Once here, they can no longer use their mounts, and in order not to attract the attention of others, they try to take routes that are rarely populated.

Soon, I arrived at the place where the checkpoint was set up, and in front of the heavy checkpoint was the Northern Wilderness Plateau.

Strictly speaking, many areas of the Northern Wilderness Plateau are still under the control of the kingdom, and the fortifications are obviously too far behind.

But in fact, the Northern Wilderness Plateau itself is an easy terrain to attack and difficult to defend, where the terrain is too open, and the blood cavalry guards under the command of the Red Lord are a very mobile cavalry, and many settlements of the Huiye Kingdom here have been sacked by them.

When the army arrived, the other party ran away in a smoke, and he couldn't catch up, and a small number of troops caught up, but he couldn't beat it!

The mounts of the Blood Cavalry Guard are all red blood horses that are special products here, and they have a unique advantage on the plateau, leaving the army of the Huiye Kingdom helpless.

In addition, the climate and environment here are relatively harsh, and with the perennial war, more and more people have left this land, resulting in almost no residents in the North Wilderness Plateau.

In the end, the Huiye Kingdom simply didn't care, and retreated a large part of the defense line, blocking the entrance and exit from the Northern Wilderness Plateau, so this area became a blank area.

According to the map provided by Knorr, Anxu and the others avoided the place where the army was stationed, and ran into the mountains, and it took a whole day to find the abandoned mine.

Due to disrepair, a large part of the mine crossing has already collapsed, and if it weren't for the fact that there are still many traces left by artificiality at the mine crossing, maybe the three of them would not have found here.

"How's it going?" Looking at the collapsed mine crossing, An Xu was a little anxious, if he couldn't pass here, he probably wouldn't be able to go back in time.

Doudou got out of the small hole, patted the dust on his body, and said, "It's okay, it's just that the door has collapsed, and you can still walk inside, but we have to move some of the stones here, otherwise you may not be able to get in." ”

An Xu was a little depressed, and being tall was sometimes not entirely a good thing.

Fortunately, An Xu's strength is not small, and there are not many places that need to be expanded, and soon they dealt with a hole that could be passed by normal people and drilled into it.

The mine road is very narrow, and the pitch black gives people a very depressing feeling, and suddenly a faint light lights up, An Xu looked up, and saw Doudou holding a stone the size of a pebble in his hand.

"This is the Radiance Stone, a specialty that we have over there, it can absorb and store some bright light in the sun, it doesn't last much, let's hurry up and wear it!"

Doudou lowered his voice and said, leading the way in front, a faint echo sounded in the empty passage, and some people were panicked.

"Good stuff!" An Xu praised, not always suitable for lighting with torches, this kind of radiant stone is too suitable for wild adventures.

"This thing is worthless, I'll give you a piece when I get out! Wait, come and have a look! Doudou suddenly crouched down and stared carefully at the ground.

An Xu squeezed forward, it was really troublesome to pile up in such a narrow mine.

"What's wrong?" He asked softly.

"There are traces of living creatures passing by!" Doudou pointed to the place in front of him.

An Xu looked at it through the light of the glowing stone, and sure enough, there was a row of shallow footprints on the ground, and he couldn't admire it in his heart, the footprints themselves were very shallow, and the light was still very weak, so he wouldn't necessarily notice it.

Although this Doudou has been a mercenary for a short time, he is quite careful in this regard.

An Xu also knelt on the ground and carefully investigated: "The footprints are very clear, it seems that they were left not long ago, they are not big, they have a long tail, I am afraid they were left by the gold devouring rat!" ”

"Is it dangerous?" Noel and Beanie didn't know the creature.

"The individual ability is very weak, but this gold eater rat is a social creature, and it is very aggressive, and it is very troublesome to be entangled! Go, don't stop here, it's safe to get out of the mine! I'm going to open the way! ”

An Xu took the glowing stone from Doudou's hand, raised his shield and walked in front.

The Gold Eater Rat is a cave creature, and there are traces of their activities in many mountains, and it is impossible to judge their number just by these traces, An Xu can only hope that there will not be too many Gold Eater Rats here.

Otherwise, it would not be a joke to be besieged in such a place.

The three of them walked all the way up the mine road, and finally came across a gold-eating rat in a slightly wider passage, which looked like an enlarged mouse, the size of a domestic cat, and the two terrifying front teeth on the mouth were particularly conspicuous.

In the dark tunnels, its two small eyes glowed reddish.

Seeing An Xu's figure, the gold-devouring rat did not rush up, it bent down and hissed, made a piercing sound, and then disappeared into a small hole next to it.

"Keep walking, don't stop! He may be calling a companion. An Xu reminded and quickened his pace.

They rushed forward quickly, and from time to time they bumped into the bulges on the cave wall, shaking the sand and soil down, but after a while, there were bursts of gold-devouring rat cries behind them, and the dense crowd seemed to be quite numerous.

After estimating the distance, it would take a while to reach the end, and An Xu couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Wait!" Knorr stopped abruptly and tinkered in his backpack.

"What is he doing?" An Xu wanted to urge them to leave quickly, but when he saw that Doudou didn't have a panicked look on his face, he asked curiously.

"A gadget that can delay their catch-up!" As he spoke, Knoll pulled out a small bottle containing a black liquid!

He sprinkled around the passageway, then took out another bottle and put a few drops of something in, clapping his hands: "It's done, let's go!" ”

He had been running a long distance, and a burst of fire suddenly burst out behind him, illuminating even the passage in front of him.

"This potion is the product of alchemy, and after mixing, it will gradually heat up and then burn on its own, and the temperature is very high, enough to resist them for a while!" As he ran, Knoll shook the bottle in his hand.

An Xu was surprised, today is an eye-opener, it turns out that alchemists can still make such things.

It's so convenient, if you have such an ability, I don't know how much trouble you can saved.

There was no danger, and there were no accidents on the way back, and occasionally there were a few gold devouring rats blocking the way, which were also solved by An Xu with a sword, and soon saw a ray of light at the end of the passage.

The three of them were all excited in their hearts and rushed out.

The dazzling sunlight stung his eyes, and An Xu protected his hands in front of him and looked at the terrain.

It is a steep cliff, disconnected in the middle, and at the bottom of the cliff is a rushing river, and on the opposite side of the cliff is the area of the Northern Wilderness Plateau.
