"What the hell is going on with this teleportation array?" Ding Hao found the magician who was in charge of maintaining the teleportation array and asked, "When will it be available?" ”

"Two days ago, I didn't know why the magic power transmitted by the magic net was too small, causing the portal to be unstable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" The magician shrugged helplessly: "I don't know exactly when it will be repaired, this will have to wait for the guys in charge of repairs to find out what the problem is, if you are lucky, you will know what the problem is tomorrow morning, and it should be back up and running in two or three days." ”

I can still afford to wait for two or three days, provided that the people of the Firmament Law Society don't come up with any wanted warrants because of the previous battle, it will be a bit of a pain.

But after thinking about it, Ding Hao was wearing a helmet the whole time during the previous battle, and no one saw his true appearance, so as long as he changed his clothes, no one could recognize him.

It just so happens that this is another border fortress, and there are weapons shops and armor shops everywhere, maybe it's a fun experience.

In view of Ding Hao's preference for long-range attacks, which is most similar to the hunters in this world, Ding Hao found an armor shop called Landru's leather chain chainmail, which is the leather armor chain mail franchise store with the best reputation in this border fortress.

"Hey, hello!" As soon as Ding Hao stepped into the door of this armor shop, a dwarf greeted him very warmly: "What do you want to do?" Leather Mail or Chain Mail? ”

"Bring me a set of hunter's chain mail." Ding Hao said: "It's better." ”

"Of course, I'm selling the best goods in the world." Listening to Ding Hao's words, the dwarf's face full of wrinkles and beards showed a chrysanthemum-like smile, and then pulled out a hanger from the side, with an emerald green chain mail suit on it: "Come and see this, the Revenant Hunter Suit, the elf craft, made of the scales and skin of the Green Goblin, it can help you better hide in the jungle, and speed up the healing of your injuries, excellent quality, only 80 gold coins." ”

"Isn't this armor too green?" Ding Hao looked at the armor carefully and frowned and said, "I feel a little out of place with me." ”

"Of course, sir, I think so too, after all, the things made by those elves are all in this style, and the colors are unacceptably bright!" The dwarf pushed back the delicate and gorgeous Revenant Hunter suit, and then pulled out another hanger with a black-on-blue chain mail suit: "Then look at this, the Swift Strike Suit, created by you humans, made of the scales and skin of the Thunder Lizard, rich in elemental power, you have a one-third chance of inflicting an electric shock on the target every time you attack, although it is not very powerful, but it can make the enemy numb for a while." It is also of excellent quality, as long as 70 gold coins, and no bargaining. ”

Compared to the Revenant suit just now, the workmanship of this Swift Strike is not so exquisite, but it is not bad in terms of shape, the color matching is also very good, and the price is not expensive.

"Good, that's it." Ding Hao took out a small money bag and threw it to the dwarf, then took the Swift Strike suit off the hanger and stuffed it into his interface space.

"Welcome to the next visit!" Looking at Ding Hao's departing back, the dwarf shouted loudly with a smile on his face.

After leaving Landru's leather lock, Ding Hao directly found a hotel to live in, and by the way, he took off the power exoskeleton that he had worn for a long time and replaced it with the newly purchased otherworldly equipment. Without the power exoskeleton, the defense and mobility will be weakened, but with the functions of the left hand and his own natural skills, the overall combat effectiveness has not dropped off a cliff, but only decreased slightly.

"Good, I'm a hunter now." After putting on the armor, Ding Hao looked at the handsome figure in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction, but just before putting on the chain mail helmet, Ding Hao frowned and looked carefully at the horn-shaped helmet in his hand, and then threw it aside with a disgusted face, and took out a tactical eyepiece from the imaginary space and put it on.

This tactical eyepiece is a simplified version of the Power Exoskeleton Helmet, resembling a sports glasses, but with a drastic reduction in size, but with only three functions - target locking, night vision, and head shield.

The shield generated by this glasses is not as powerful as the Powered Exoskeleton Shield Module, but it is sufficient to protect the wearer from a single headshot from a normal pistol rifle.

Then Ding Hao made some adjustments to the Gauss rifle, and now he is not wearing a power exoskeleton, and he will definitely not be able to use overload shooting, because he can't resist the recoil, and the assault mode is difficult to ensure the hit rate in the case of full speed shooting because of the large recoil, so it is necessary to reduce the muzzle velocity of the bullet in the case of reducing the rate of fire, reducing the rate of fire from the original 15 rounds per second to 10 rounds per second, and the initial velocity of the bullet from the original fifteen times the speed of sound to seven times the speed of sound, so that it is very easy to use.

After adjusting the equipment, Ding Hao rested in the hotel for a night, and then went to the teleportation array to inquire the next morning, according to the magician yesterday, today should be able to know what went wrong.

Merely......

"What does it mean to be missing?" Ding Hao was deeply surprised by this answer.

"It's literal." The magician was still on duty yesterday, and he rubbed his temples in distress: "The people we sent to check should be back in the early hours of this morning, but it's almost noon and they haven't come back yet, and I suspect they may be in trouble." ”

"If we don't know what the problem is, we won't be able to repair the teleportation array, so if you're not in a hurry, why don't you wait?" The magician said.

"Well, you give me the roadmap for those maintenance guys, and I'll see what happens to them." Ding Hao proposed: "I'm a mercenary, if they get into any trouble, I might be able to help." ”

"That's fine." The magician nodded, then took out a map and handed it to Ding Hao: "The red line above is the inspection path of the maintenance staff, you should be able to meet them if you follow the red line." ”

This red line is also the line of the underground magic net, the underground magic net is a bit like underground water, the magic power that permeates the air merges into the magic net through a node, and then circulates quickly underground in the form of a magic flow, and then erupts in another magic net node, forming a magic cycle to ensure the balance of magic in the whole world. The reason why the teleportation array of the border fortress cannot be used is all because of the weakening of the mana output, and the mana output is weakened, then it must be that there is some problem on the magic network line, which makes the circulation of mana slow.

However, the underground magic net can not be blocked like an underground river, and the rich magic power will erode any object blocked in the magic web, and there is only one reason why the flow of magic can slow down - the flow of magic is being absorbed by something in large quantities.

Of course, even most of the magicians on the continent of Accra are ignorant of this, and only those magicians who are majoring in architecture will study this thing, after all, those large cities must be built on large magic network nodes, otherwise there will not be enough energy to support the operation of the entire city.

By the way, those overhaulers who have not returned for a long time are magicians of this architectural profession.

Don't talk nonsense, it's still important to find someone. With the map in hand, Ding Hao walked out of the border fortress directly and stepped on the wild land leading to the center of the continent.

Ding Hao's routine is the main line of the magic web, because of the influence of escaping magic power, there are lilac magic crystals growing everywhere, and these crystals are even combined with trees to form a strange elemental creature, but at this moment, these elemental creatures are all lying on the ground blackened, and there are a little smoldering embers shining on the corpses of elemental creatures.

This is the effect of the Flame Explosion Spell bombardment, the high concentration of fire elements is enough to burn for several days, and ordinary water cannot extinguish this kind of spark.

Obviously, these elemental creatures died at the hands of those maintenance personnel, although those people are called magic net maintenance personnel, but they are all real and genuine magicians, although their combat skills are not as strong as professional adventurers, but they are enough to deal with these clumsy elemental creatures.

Judging from the scorched marks, this should have been the time of the battle two days ago, and the time when the inspectors were looking for the fault coincided with the problem with the magic net, and judging from the charred corpses on the ground, those inspectors must have dealt with these elemental creatures without much effort.

After checking the traces on the ground, Ding Hao continued to go deeper along the magic web line against the map, and soon found more traces of engagement, the nocturnal wolf burned to charcoal, the crystal spider pierced by the ice pick, and the activated plant crystallized by the arcane, these spells were very powerful, almost all of them were killed with one hit, and there were only very few traces of engagement on the ground.

After going deeper for more than 20 kilometers, Ding Hao finally found a human corpse leaning on a big tree.

Ding Hao walked over, first took a few photos at close range without destroying the scene, and then began to examine the body, judging from the appearance, the deceased was a thirty-year-old man, wearing a mage robe, a long staff was placed next to him, and there was a backpack scattered on the ground, a large pile of messy things scattered on the ground, there were magic books, various potion bottles, gems, and magic net measuring equipment.

Apparently this is one of the missing inspectors.

As for the cause of death......

Ding Hao gently took away the hand that the deceased was holding on his stomach with his left hand, and found that there was actually a dark red branch on the person's stomach, and the branch was still writhing like a snake.

"Twigs?" This unexpected scene made Ding Hao couldn't help frowning, you must know that mage robes are usually cross-sewn with high-grade silk, and their defensive ability is no less than that of low-level body armor, 9mm pistol bullets cannot be pierced, but they are pierced by a soft branch, which is very abnormal. But just a branch piercing his stomach can't explain anything, Ding Hao took out a dagger and directly slashed the mage robe on the corpse, but was stunned by the next scene, because this branch not only pierced the mage's robe, but also pierced into his body, and took root, dense dark red roots all over the corpse.
