Chapter 70: Purple Creek Valley
Like most girls, Serisa is afraid of bugs, whether they are a little small or super big, and Thirisa is afraid, so for a few days in the insect forest, Serisa's whole face is pale.
The others were satisfied, but they didn't expect Thunderhoof to be a master at cooking bugs.
"Actually, it's nothing, I used to eat when I was a child, and occasionally I ate some cabbage worms, which felt very special, and then I liked the taste." The minotaur scratched the back of his head and smirked.
said that everyone looked at each other.
As they were about to leave the insect forest, Karel noticed that the dense forest was beginning to become thin, and the ground was gradually turning purple.
Looking at the changing environment around him, Karel was puzzled.
In fact, this is a sign of proximity to the Purple Creek Valley, which is a poisonous purple stream in its own right, and naturally no normal trees can grow well in this environment.
According to Serisa, the source of the Purple Creek Valley came from the ancient human relics of Amarnas, and God knows how desperate the ancient humans were to create such a strange landscape.
Finally, everyone came to the entrance of the Purple Creek Valley, on the whole, the Purple Creek Valley is a long and narrow canyon, on both sides are towering, almost vertical cliffs, at this time, there are already many people in the Purple Creek Valley busy.
Of course, it is not fighting with each other, but mining, and the cliffs on both sides of the Purple Creek Valley contain a peculiar mineral deposit, which is a mineral similar to crystal, and when forging weapons, as long as a little bit can greatly increase the performance of weapons.
From elasticity to strength, from high heat to extreme cold, a bit of luck can even elevate a weapon of good quality directly to fine quality. That's why this crystal is called a blade crystal.
However, because of its strange geographical environment, it is unrealistic for the state to carry out large-scale mining, so it is simply ignored and directly thrown to adventurers to dig up.
According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 30,000 adventurers who die in the Purple Creek Valley every year, and it is even increasing slightly, plus most of this crystal is red, so it is also called blood crystal.
As for the cause of death, 80% of it is related to the strange Purple Creek.
The purple liquid flowing out of Amanas itself contains a violent corpse toxin, and it is mixed with a strange nematode, this creature is thinner than a human hair, and will crawl down the river to the rock walls on both sides, feeding on blood crystals, when eating blood crystals, this nematode is like a gas, can grow up to 8 meters long, more than 2 meters thick, and has a big mouth, 8 limbs monster in a month!
That's what you're going to face in Purple Creek Valley.
What's even more disgusting is that there is still a faint poisonous gas in the Purple Creek Valley, if you stay here for a long time and don't detoxify, the person will slowly turn into a corpse and become a living corpse. In the same way, the monster called the purple nematode is also covered with corpse toxins, bitten, rubbed, or sprayed by the body fluids of the purple nematode, if it is not detoxified in time, then it will quickly become a living corpse.
This is the reason why when you go to Purple Creek Valley, you must be able to detoxify, or bring a profession that can detoxify.
Follow the bronze shield guards on the road by the stream, along the way with the movement of everyone, the surrounding adventurers who are mining have stopped their work and looked nervously at Karel and a few people, in the wild, killing people is very normal, especially in the mining area, for a piece of high-quality mineral to draw a knife to kill people is even more rare, so you must be vigilant in the wild, maybe the person who talks and laughs with you will burst out and hurt people in the next moment.
Watching Karel and the others walk towards Amarnas, several nervous miners slowly let down their guard, and the nervousness in their eyes turned to pity.
Amarnas, the remains of ancient humans, one of the most dangerous places on the continent beneath his feet, whoever enters, only one out of a hundred people will return alive at most. Compared to Amanas, the Plains of the Giants are as harmless to humans and animals as kindergartens.
Amanas is located on a mountain, to be precise, it is a large building built inside the mountain, its internal space is extremely vast, according to the number of the deepest expedition team, the space inside Amanas is at least ten kilometers underground, and this exploration team only chose a straight road to explore down, and in the end only one person died to bring the number out of the number, the survivor said, they probably only explored less than one percent. It's hard to imagine how ancient humans built this structure.
According to some spell detections, Amanas was built more than 27,000 years ago, after the extinction of ancient humans, the age of insects and orcs, the age of elves and trolls, and now the era of multi-race, but the part that has been explored is no more than one percent, except for the part inside the mountain, most of the underground space is in a sealed state, waiting for the arrival of adventurers, or sending them to death.
Standing in front of a tall stone door, Seresa briefed Karel on the mission.
The Bronze Shieldguard's mission is an SS-level high-risk mission from the Magic Guild, and its mission is to find 4 books from Amarnas, namely "Shadows in the Light"; "Forbidden Spells and Necromantic Rituals"; The Necromancer's In-Depth Knowledge and the Dark Codex.
"According to the mission brief, these four books are all somewhere 2 kilometers underground, either in the library, or in the real yĆ n room, and the goal is obvious."
"We were lucky that the space inside the mountain had been discovered, and we could go down a kilometre directly underground."
"Once you find a book, don't open it, they have unimaginable magical prohibitions on them."
"The Ayss of Amarnas is dominated by high-level undead creatures, so everyone be careful."
"Any questions?" Serisa said.
Amanas is an important transportation hub connecting the Purple Creek Valley and the Forest of the Dead, and although its nature is terrifying, filled with ancient ruins of the undead, this does not prevent people from doing business at its doorstep, after all, in tens of thousands of years, there has not been a high-level undead in Amanas running out.
After refilling their supplies with the surrounding merchants, the Karel and the others opened the heavy stone door of Amarnas under the pitiful gaze of the people around them, and walked in one by one. When all six of them entered, the stone gate of Amanas slowly closed.
"I feel like those people are looking at us as if they were looking at dead people." Karel complained.
"yes, you know what, this is arguably the most famous place of death on the continent." Holding the ball of light in one hand, Serisa smiled wryly with a sad face.
"If it's so dangerous, why are you here?" Looking at the dignified faces of several people, Karel asked puzzled.
"Alas, there's no way, advanced mission." Siljan at her feet sighed and said.
In the continent of Imis, the initial profession of ordinary people is warrior, mage, thief, etc., and then at the age of about ten there will be natural abilities, and then there are categories such as berserk warriors and assassination thieves. And advanced,It's after the strength reaches a certain level,Go to the guild of your own profession to apply independently,At this time, you will get a difficult task,After completion,You can get a copy of the strongest skill book of the profession,Open the second talent,Open two layers of soul power,The power of the soul is the glyph system in Warcraft.,It's worse than that.,What kind of soul power to open full-screen luck,Can't choose or change.ć
In addition, the survival rate of advanced missions is maintained at 5%-7% all year round.
"Let's go." Looking at the grim-faced creatures around him, Karel shook his head and flipped the mechanism on the wall, accompanied by the sound of gears turning, and a metal platform quickly rose to the break in front of him.
