Chapter 102: The Flames of Blackstone Mountain
Reward, collect ~~~~
"Huh? Dear adventurer, do you mean the wounded black dragon flew away? ”
Inside the headquarters of the Thunderspear Expeditionary Force. Sword sat on the couch and laid down a white ceramic cup filled with hot black tea. The eyes behind the monocle shot a scrutinizing gaze, scanning Lin Qing's face back and forth.
Although he believed that Lin Qing was powerless in the face of the black dragon, his instinct as a general made it difficult for him to confirm the authenticity of this information.
"What, General Sword suspects me of deliberately concealing the whereabouts of the Black Dragons?" Lin Qing had a smile on his face, pretending to be confident.
That's right, it's a false positive. Anyway, the mission didn't say whether to explain the truth, so Lin Qing was ready to fool the NPCs. Sword must not be let know that he has tamed the Black Dragon Princess, otherwise he doesn't know how much shock it will cause.
It's better to make up a nonsense and let Sword think about it on his own, maybe there will be one more task. Of course, this kind of behavior is very dangerous, and if it is discovered, the intimacy may drop to zero, and both sides will be regarded as enemies.
"Haha, how is this possible. You are adventurers recommended by the king himself, and you have fought against demons on the front lines, how can I doubt you! Unable to see the flaw, Sword smiled, and the atmosphere of suspicion instantly turned into harmony.
"So be it, it's your reward."
As soon as Ward's voice fell, Lin Qing gained symbolic experience and a gold coin, which was a drop in the bucket for his experience bar.
The attitude of the NPC towards the player directly determines the amount of reward. After all, Sword still had a grudge against Lin Qing in his heart, so the rewards were very small and no follow-up tasks were released.
"Farewell." Conquering the Black Dragon Princess and obtaining complete monster information, the harvest of this trip is enough, and Lin Qing doesn't care how much Sword's reward is.
Waiting for Lin Qing to close the door, Sword walked to the desk and opened the urgent letter. After a few seconds, he lay down in his chair with a solemn face, and drew a warning sign around the Blackstone Tower in red ink.
The letter reads: "The Black Iron Dwarves rebelled, and the Black Dragon Princess disappeared ......"
"Master, sure enough, I still haven't hidden it from him."
"It doesn't matter if you hide it or not, I don't have much hope anyway. I'm worried about you. ”
"Worried about me?" Medusa's face was flushed, her eyes looked away from Lin Qing's back, and her eyes were randomly aimed at the NPC's shop on the street. "I have nothing to worry about."
"Your obsession with goblins is too deep. Godot is a very respectable alchemist, and I can vouch for his character. You still have to think about apprenticeship. Lin Qing turned his head and looked at Medusa, who was at a loss due to panic, and said. You'll at least believe me. ”
"Well, of course I believe the master. But allow me to think again. ”
Seeing that his words had come to fruition, Lin Qing laughed and said, "Okay." ”
Medusa's alchemy talent is high. If she can learn alchemy from Godot and learn all the recipes he has developed privately, she will become an important part of defeating the Northern Hades.
"The difference is one level to the first." Opening the level leaderboard, Lin Qing saw his name in the second position. Above him was Long Fei, level twenty-nine. In addition, Ye Xichen and Zero are also on the top ten list, ranking behind several people in the Northern Underworld.
On the equipment rankings, Lin Qing's dark gold-level staff was among the best, ranking first with an equipment strength of three thousand points. The rest are some gold-level weapons, but it is not excluded that there is missing information.
said that he didn't care that the rankings were all false, but compared to the rankings, Lin Qing was more interested in "Xiaotianxia", who sorted out these information. It's good that it's the data provided by the official, but if it's the information that is heard by a private person, it's terrifying.
After some time of talking nonsense with Sword, they were already waiting at the city gates in the morning.
The eight-piece set glows with a delicate jewel-like glow, and the momentum exuded by the uniformity and neatness of the equipment is intimidating to players who come and go.
"Brother Lin Qing!" In front of him, Wulan, who had not been seen for a long time, opened his small chest and hugged Lin Qing. The black and white skirt swayed in the wind, like a black rose swaying in the wind. A girl's unique fragrance came to her face and crashed into Lin Qing's arms.
Being so concerned about little Lori, Lin Qing couldn't be happier in her heart. It seems to have returned to the years when he was entangled by Yun Yun every day, evoking many good memories of the past. All in all, it's a wonderful feeling to have friends around.
"It's all here." Lin Qing touched the head of the little Lori who was just waist-high and said. Except for the Treasure Hunter who didn't come because he was managing the guild, everyone else was there. "Let's go, go to Blackstone Mountain!"
"By the way, Brother Lin Qing, didn't you say you were going to give me something?" Jumping up and saying.
"Ah, I almost forgot!" Lin Qing took out the slate, "Be mentally prepared." ”
"Wow!" The sudden scream frightened the surrounding players into almost having a nervous breakdown, and then she hugged Lin Qing's neck and didn't let go. If it weren't for someone watching, maybe they would kiss it.
"What's it, look at what you're happy about, it won't be a marriage certificate." As soon as Autumn Leaf Mai's voice came out, she was immediately met with the white eyes of Ye Xichen and Zero.
"Haha, it's a job transfer item for a hidden class soul summoner! Hide your profession, Brother Lin Qing, I love you to death! ”
"Well, don't get excited. Let's hurry up and set off to Blackstone Mountain, and after clearing the dungeon, we will help you do the job transfer mission. Zero on the side looked at it, and Lin Qing hurriedly pushed away the excitement half-coaxed.
The Blackstone Mountain Range stretches for thousands of miles, and since Lin Qing opened the Blackstone Gate, earth-shaking changes have taken place here. On the originally bare ridge there is a sea of fire that is denser than the primeval forest,
Flames and wails abound, the Black Iron Dwarves who have lived quietly here for thousands of years have taken up razorite and are ready to take on the enemies who invade their homes at the very bottom of the Black Stone Tower.
Unlike usual, the place where this bird doesn't poop is crowded at this time, and players from all walks of life are either alone or in groups, blocking in front of the blackstone gate and preparing to enter the new dungeon challenge.
Of course, the neutral zone is indispensable for the two camps to fight each other. It is commonplace for both sides to do things that do not like their eyes, and they can't even get experience in forum stickers.
Gradually, however, fights between small groups will turn into fights between large guilds, leading to wars between multiple parties. Therefore, led by the Northern Hades, the sixteen guilds of the two camps jointly signed an agreement, with the Blackstone Gate as the boundary, and the two sides did not interfere with each other.
There are countermeasures and policies below. The two camps that couldn't do it directly set up a platform face to face, and you scolded each other word by word, and they succeeded in bringing about a wave of "literature".
In the end, even the forum moderators couldn't sit still, and posted a live broadcast to scold the players in the war for their "witty words". For a while, the water monsters who were bored with the water post found a new topic, and based on this, they created game jokes that were widely circulated all over the world.
The scholars of the forum recorded this event and called it the "Eternal First Thought Emancipation Movement". The person who first came up with the idea was hyped up as a "mentor of enlightenment".
"Black Stone Grottoes strong team 9 = 1, come strong T!" "Epic gold group, led by a professional leader, Black Rock in five minutes, come to the boss, package group discount!" The errand runners of each team shouted with the loudest voices, and behind them were the players standing in a row to show their strength.
"The latest information, a minute ago, the Northern Hades Mansion opened up the first area of the Black Stone Abyss!"
There was a scream from the crowd, followed by gasps. That's the player who is responsible for delivering messages and uploading racing posts for the guild.
"So fast." Ye Xichen heard the news.
"Don't worry, there are a total of five areas in the Blackstone Abyss, and it's too early to get through." Lin Qing said with a smile on his face that everything was under control. "There's a hidden quest that makes it impossible to clear the final area if you don't do it. Fog and rain, have you finished studying the scroll? ”
"It's okay, it's expected to catch up with the North Hades soon." Fog and rain shook the scroll in his hand,
It's also full of confidence.
The Blackstone Grotto is the only access to the Blackstone Abyss, the lowest level of the Blackstone Tower. In addition to the low-level black iron dwarves guarded here, there are also some fire-bellied ogres who have been captured as slaves.
The noble dragons don't come back here, and to them the filthy Black Stone Grotto is no different from hell.
"Why is it such a narrow cave ......" As soon as he saw the scene in front of him, Ye Xichen thought of his experience in the second layer of the Baijing Cave again.
"There are only eight of us, is it really okay to have two less positions?" Xi Xi commanded his elven dragon and said, "Xiaobao, let's go ahead and explore the way first." ”
The elven dragon let out a cheerful cry and walked with heavy steps towards the depths of the deep passage.
The additional skills of the Summoner's eight-piece set greatly enhance the abilities of the Elven Dragon. The current elven dragon is larger than before, and its attack power is not what it used to be, even if it is a silver-level boss. In the future, the guild battle will definitely be the main level.
"It's okay, the Black Rock Grottoes are relatively simple. Coupled with this information, eight people are fine. "In the Temple of Death, Fog and Rain has accumulated a lot of experience in team command.
Roar! The roar of the elven dragon echoed through the rocky passages, followed by blinding flashes and earth-shaking tremors. Xi Xi said: "Xiaobao entered the battle, but it should be solved." ”
"Well done!" Xi Xi stroked the elven dragon who ran back to ask for credit, and the long battle made a perfect tacit understanding between them.
"The skeleton of the dead in vain, a level 20 cannon fodder monster." Looking at the charred dry bones on the ground and the powder that was trampled on, Wuyu explained to several people like a tour guide, "Not far ahead is the first boss, Oge the Skull Crusher. ”
"Haha, hurry up and let your dinosaur open the way, I can't help but want to try the new eight-piece suit!" Mai Akiba dug her nostrils boringly and popped out a mess of dirt and said.
"I've given up explaining to you that Xiaobao isn't a dinosaur......" Xixi and the elven dragon both had expressions of lovelessness on their faces.
After clearing the mobs at the door, the narrow rock passage slowly expands around, forming an underground passage dozens of meters high. Hot lava flowed from the high rock walls like a waterfall, burning large pits in the shape of small ponds on the uneven rocky ground.
The shackled ogre captives were digging with shovels, and the rock fragments were piled up into a hill and then pushed into the magma pool to be destroyed.
Guarding them was the gray-skinned ogre, Ogur the Skullcrusher. His chest was painted in blood in a strange wave-like pattern, and he held a huge mace made of the leg bones of an unknown monster. The black chains were wrapped around his body in a mess, rattling with the movement of walking.
