Outside the city of Rog, is the so-called Blood Wasteland, the origin of this name is naturally related to this land, yes, a dark red wasteland, legend has it that there was a great war between gods here, a god fell here, the blood of the gods soaked the land, with magical magic turned this land into a dark red like blood.

Walking along the avenue outside of Rogue for about an hour, Leon and Gitan witnessed the gradual transition of the color of the land from ordinary yellow to light red to finally dark red, and although the vegetation on the wilderness obscured the color of the land, it looked verdant, but the occasional bare dirt still exposed the primary color of the earth.

Gitan, who was very curious, also dug a small pit, and looked at the soil under the surface, and sure enough, it was like soaked in blood, showing a dark red. Gitan also asked about the origin of the name of the wilderness, and Leon shook his head and told him the legend of the previous article.

As for why it wasn't called the Land of the Dead, Leon thought that the name was probably not very lucky.

Maybe this legend is also nonsense?

Speaking of which, this is thanks to the original Leon, although he is a little dull and does not know how to be flexible, but he listens very much to the words of his mentor Old Man Pope, no matter how strict the old man's requirements are, and even some absurd and impersonal, Leon is unconditionally obedient and insistent, although he doesn't like to read much, but the old man asks him to read more history, legends, explorers' travels, and biographies of all kinds of great people, and Leon is patient to dabble extensively in his leisure time for practice.

Leon, who didn't know where to start and what to choose to read, simply read all the old man's collection of books one by one, and even those knights who were thought to be so-called fiction outside were all apocryphal explorers' travelogues and non-existent legends and stories.

It is this method of looking incredibly stupid that makes Leon remember many seemingly useless fantasy stories.

Even Barton couldn't help but laugh at Leon for looking too much at the knight, and Leon just replied lightly that what Master Pop said must be right. Angry enough that Barton scolded Leon for being an elm pimple.

Thinking back on these now, Leon has a smile of memory on the corner of his mouth, and from the perspective of a bystander, the original Leon is stupid and cute.

Gitan admired Leon's erudition, and made our paladins very proud, that is, not to see who I am, but I am going to be the legendary paladin of the Lion of Light.

Gitan gave Leon a big roll of the eye, which was really not a boast.

The two of them chatted all the way and gradually walked to the area of the Blood Wasteland, and the two looked at the warning sign on the side of the road, which had a bright red warning written on it, "There are monsters in front of you, and your life is in danger, please be careful." "And then there was a bloody skeleton down there.

Next to the warning sign is a sign that reads, "If you move forward steadfastly, good luck to you, adventurers, destroy the monsters of hell, and the future belongs to you." Akarat bless! "Brand.

Looking at this warm blessing, Leon's heart warmed, and it was interesting for the sign to stand here.

After this sign, go forward, it is the monster area of the Blood Wasteland, think about the battle that may happen at any time, Leon sorted out his equipment, equipped the shield, and took out the scepter hanging on his waist, after all, it is an adventure to the Blood Wasteland, the equipment is to be carried with you, and you can't go empty-handed in the open, this is not clear to tell people that I have stored equipment again.

Jitan on the side also listed his equipment, a delicate small shield for self-defense, a short and simple staff, looking at Leon's inquiring eyes, Jitan explained: "A staff commonly used by trainee priests, with a little magic essence, has a small effect, which can increase the speed of the collection of the Holy Light's ability and the power of release, of course, the improvement is only better than nothing." ”

Knowing your teammates' strength and equipment is the first step in a pre-battle routine.

Without waiting for Gitan to ask, Leon himself complained about his equipment.

"An ugly and torn shield, according to my father, it was a shield that no one wanted, and then he gave it to me, a fine iron scepter, which my father had made, and it had no merit, but it was strong. It's a blunt weapon anyway, so it's easy to get your hands on. ”

"Weapons and equipment are not enchanted, you know, I'm a poor ghost. I'm still waiting to make a fortune in my adventures. Leon laughed to himself.

"Then your father is so humorous, you won't be the one who picked it up." Gitan said with a smile.

"Who knows." Leon pouted.

"Okay, we're going to run into monsters ahead, we have to be careful and be ready to fight at any time." As the captain of the squad, Leon is still very responsible when he gets serious.

"Okay, Captain!" Gitan quickly got into the groove.

Not long after walking past the reminder sign, Leon found that there were a lot of black figures dotted on the wilderness not far away, and the distance gradually got closer, and Leon and the others saw these figures staggering one by one, and their bodies were slow, they were all zombies in human form, and the most common and lowest-level monster in the Blood Wasteland.

This area is still the periphery of the Blood Wasteland, and the number of zombie monsters is not large, and they all exist alone, not clustered into groups, and there is a certain distance between them.

The two walked towards the nearest zombie, about 50 meters away, the appearance of the zombie was already very clear, cyan and gray shriveled skin, some dry bodies, drooping heads, and of course, a pair of sharp claws, this is the zombie's weapon, maybe the sharp fingertips and this special toxin.

"Get ready to fight, don't be too far away from me, there's only one monster, don't be afraid, wait until I'm 10 meters away from the zombies, you can put a shield on me." Leon calmly gave the order, the general shield has a certain duration, in the final analysis, it is just a form of holy light condensation, and it will automatically dissipate after a long time, and for the little priest who has not yet formed a skill rune, it will take a while to release the skill, and then release the shield at a distance of 10 meters, which can ensure that the time of the shield will not be wasted, and the little priest also has time to prepare. Although Leon can destroy zombies alone, after all, the most basic monsters, but be careful in the first battle.

"Okay."

Leon began to approach the zombies step by step, the first time he fought, there was not a trace of fear, but a kind of passionate desire, Leon sighed in his heart, he really still had a bit of violent tendencies.

Jitan began to chant spells and prepare shields, which could only be used to release skills before forming skill runes.

At a distance of 20 meters, the zombie spotted the enemy that had broken into its chassis, and approached Leon with a slightly sluggish pace, tearing apart all the enemies that approached, which was the instinct of this monster. Leon began to gradually pick up the pace.

As they got closer, the rotting flesh of the zombies was clearly visible.

There were still 10 meters left, and with a wave of the little priest's staff, a golden light enveloped Leon, who had a shield of holy light attached to his body.

Leon held the shield and began to sprint, although the sprint is an important skill for most melee classes, which can quickly approach the enemy, or quickly leave the battlefield when danger comes, but Leon has not yet comprehended this skill, and can only use the strength of his body to start sprinting, although the acceleration is not large, but it can still add some power to the release of his next skill. Leon quickly rushed towards the zombie, holding the shield in his left hand, and at the moment of contact, he turned on his aura of power while swinging the shield to attack, the standard shield strike action, although it is not a skill, there is no additional bonus, but relying only on strength and the speed of the sprint, Leon accurately hit the zombie before the zombie swung his claws to attack him.

With a bang, the shield hit the zombie's upper body, and under this force and impact, the zombie staggered, although it did not fall, but the body still leaned back, and the attack action could no longer be formed.

At the same time, Leon seized the opportunity of the front to open up, brandished the scepter in his right hand, and accurately hammered the zombie's head once, twice.

The zombie turned around, waved his claws and attacked again, Leon's shield was topped, blocking the zombie's attack again, quickly retracting and attacking, it was still the standard action of the shield strike, and it also hit the upper body of the zombie, not as powerful as the first time, but the zombie's body still leaned back.

Leon took the opportunity to attack two more times.

Leon didn't kick with his feet, maybe this would have been more powerful, but in memory, Old Man Pop was strict about protecting his lower plate in battle, only allowing you to use your shield to attack others, disrupting his movements and body balance, and at the same time striking quickly with his weapon. Keep the pace and it is strictly forbidden to lift your legs. One monster may not matter, but when there are many monsters, it can effectively ensure that your balance is not disrupted. In close combat, whoever disrupts the balance loses the battle. Leon kept these requirements in mind and used this basic combination technique with great fluidity.

The zombie steadied itself again, ready to attack.

He was greeted by a shield and a swift and powerful scepter attack.

This time, the zombie failed to hold on to its feet and fell to the ground with a thud, no longer moving.

Three shield strikes, six scepter attacks.

The zombies failed to attack Leon.

The first battle, successfully completed.
