Chapter 52: The Wasteland III.
Except for Valek, the humanoid weapon, the others were not slow. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Darius even saw a gun ranger, using the exaggerated shotgun in his hand, firing directly at the enemy at close range, the special ammunition made a violent explosion, the rumbling sound kept ringing, and the smell of gunpowder in the air could be smelled far away, and no rock monster could hold more than two shots.
And the Giant Hammer Warrior, heavy weapons have always been a sharp weapon against high-defense monsters, and every hammer blow he must be accompanied by a heartfelt roar, which is quite in tune with the ranger's gunfire.
The monsters didn't waste much of their time, and before the large army arrived here, the warrior monk Valek smashed the last monster to pieces.
As the captain of the guard, his efficiency is the highest of all, and more than one-tenth of the monsters are completely destroyed by his fists.
The entire area was now covered with rubble, and the fierce fighting had left countless potholes and ravines in the land, and the earth elemental was scattered in all directions, gradually disappearing into the distance, which was invisible to the mortal eye, but Darius could perceive it.
Several of the men were slightly wounded, bandaged and treated after the battle, while the rest began to organize the battlefield.
"And then."
A big rough man threw a piece of something far away to Darius. He took it in his hand, but it was an unusually heavy black stone.
"What is this?"
"This is the Heart of Stone, your trophy, found from a monster you cut open, take it, this is a pretty good alchemy material."
Darius shouted a word of thanks, and then put the thing away, under normal circumstances, this big man doesn't need to give this to him, whoever picks it up counts. There were no clear requirements for loot before the battle. However, since he recognized that the monster was killed by him, the big man still gave the loot to Darius very righteously.
The time of trimming happened to be idle, and Darius used his sword as a stick, turning over the stones that covered the ground to see if he could get anything out. I have to say that his luck is really good today, rummaging through it, he accidentally found two demon cores that were not broken, and an elemental soil condensed by the essence of the earth element.
It's not too valuable, but it's better than nothing, and it doesn't take up space, so he quietly put it in his pocket watch.
Behind them came the roar of the Split-Hoofed Ox stomping the ground and the rolling of the wheels, and the caravan finally reached their position, where Valek led the horses back and called the guide over.
"Parodi, look at this place, let's continue in this direction, can we find a suitable camping spot before nightfall?"
The dark-skinned Xiang Xiang looked around, then took out a map of the parchment from his bosom, looked at it for a while, and said to Valek: "We are almost at the Asakusa Hill, and if we go northeast, we can find a tributary of the Duna Mudu River, and then we can go upstream, and we will find the village of the natives, if I remember correctly, it should be a village called Longchi, which is their native language, which means earth." ”
Varik nodded and shouted to the scout, "Continue with the previous personnel assignment, let me find the tributaries of that river, remember to leave marks on the way, and report as soon as I find the target." ”
So Darius and Senur set out again on the road to find the river.
This is undoubtedly a very boring thing, because the surrounding scenery is all unchanged, and the freshness of entering this place has long been worn off, although when he first entered the wasteland, Darius still felt that the barren and desolate scenery here had a magnificent taste, but after going deep into the wasteland, only endless desolation remained.
So he couldn't help but ask Senur for advice, "We want to find the river, do you have any special skills or methods?" ”
"Of course."
The veteran did not hide his secrets in this regard, "The ideal situation is to hear the sound of flowing water, but that is the way to find the river in the mountains and forests, and in the wilderness, sight is more important than hearing." ”
"Look at the grass, the closer you get to the water, the more lush they grow, you turn the soil open with your sword, if it's wetter than where we've passed before, then we're in the right direction."
Seeing Darius' eagerness, Senur waved his hand, "No need to try, I'm sure we're getting closer to the water, I can smell the smell of aquatic plants in the air, and you see, the footprints on the ground, and the direction of flight of these birds in the sky, they always move along the current." ”
Senur kept adjusting his direction, observing the monster footprints left on the ground from time to time, and sure enough, after galloping for a while, he faintly saw the shadow of the river in front of him.
As he got closer, Darius could see the river in its entirety, it wasn't too wide, and the water wasn't clear, but it had made the barren and desolate wasteland a little bit of life, and even the weeds around it looked much greener.
Several horses were a little short of water after a long run, and when they saw the water source, they were a little excited to go to the river to drink, and Senur did not stop the horses after confirming that there was no danger in the river.
While the horses were drinking, Senur said to the men behind him, "Signal them that we have found it." ”
Another scout took the flare out of the package and lifted it into the sky like a firework, and although it was daytime, the caravan behind them could already find their position.
Senur left a mark on the ground with his weapon and rode on a well-drunk horse. "Upstream to the indigenous villages, let's go, it's the most suitable supply point."
After a short rest, the scouts continued to move forward, and began to move upstream along the river, there were many animals gathered in the two cases of the river, but there were not many monsters, and Darius's attention became more and more focused, guarding against an attack that could come at any time.
But fortunately, there were no monsters living in groups on the road, and occasionally a few guys who couldn't help but pounce on them were cut in half by Darius's sword energy, and Senur cut off the head of one of the poisonous lizards, tied it with a rope, and tied the other end to the horse's tail, so that it dragged forward, and sure enough, no blind guy dared to come up again.
The terrain of the wilderness was fairly flat, and Darius looked behind him, and could see the shadow of the caravan, so he kept his distance for most of the day, and near dusk, Darius and Senur saw the indigenous village built on the edge of the river.
