Chapter Seventy-Seven: Radiation Monsters
Gradually, the dark clouds that obscured the moon dissipated, and the valley of the cursed under the moonlight was quiet, and in the dust raised by Karel and Claudia, there were dense glows like fireflies, which had a unique beauty.
Of course, Karel and Claudia didn't have time to appreciate these at all, at this time, the two of them were hurriedly changing their equipment, and the flashes like fireflies were small radioactive sources! The Geiger counter hanging from Karel's waist was giggling and screaming.
Karel put on a mixed gold wire liner, Claudia put on a heavy and dense metal plate armor, and the two of them who were fully protected finally breathed a sigh of relief, standing near the nuclear materials was really stressful.
Pulling out a map, Karel compared his surroundings.
"Looks like we're located right now... Up and down the south, left west, right east, well, the west side of the village, flew a little bit. After looking around, Karel affirmed.
"Hurry up so quickly, I'm very uncomfortable here." Looking at the dense sparkle around her, Claudia said with a frown.
"Let's go." Having determined the direction, Karel and Claudia made their way to the village.
The dwarven village here is generally the same as the rest of the place, the buildings on the ground are small, most of the space is underground, and unlike the uranium metal everywhere as expected, the two of them wandered around for a long time before finding a small piece the size of a palm in the blacksmith shop on the east side of the village, which seems to have been left here.
It is estimated that the metal has been touched.
Taking out the heavy metal box he had prepared at the beginning, Karel threw the uranium metal into it.
"I said, how much do you want?" Looking at Karel, who was still searching, Claudia asked.
"Not much, just fill the box." Karel patted the metal box in his hand, which was about the size of two human heads.
"Whoosh!" While the two were talking, there was a sudden noise outside the blacksmith's shop, as if someone was running by.
"Who's out there!" Karel let out a low snort, then sprang out in an instant.
The Valley of the Cursed under the moonlight was so quiet that there weren't even insects chirping or birds chirping.
"What was that?" It was a few seconds before Claudia came out of the smithy.
"I don't know, I didn't see it when I came out." In response to Claudia's words, Karel crouched down and took a closer look at the ground.
The ground was a layer of soft sand, and there was a long trail on the originally soft sand, which was 1 meter wide and not too deep, but it had turned out the black soil under the sand, leading to the jungle east of the village.
"Well, it looks like we're in company." Looking at the marks on the ground, there was a tingling sensation in his hand, and at this time, a debuff box appeared in Karel's eyes
When exposed to radiation, the whole body stat decreases by 1% and lasts for 15 seconds
Cloak of Shadows! Pure shadow energy covers the whole body, and the radiated debuff is instantly gone.
Whatever it was, it was particularly dangerous from this trace anyway.
"Let's go, let's look somewhere else." Since there is no metal in the blacksmith shop, then there must be somewhere else, according to the habit of the dwarves, the metal furnace is generally built on the edge of the mine, so that the ore dug out is smelted at the first time, and then the smelted metal ingots are sent to the place where they are needed for processing, making various weapons, armor, and tools.
According to Hercules' clues, there are several mines on the north side of the valley, where there should be what Karel needs.
"Whoosh!" There was another soft sound, and as he walked out of the north side of the village, on the road leading to the mine, Karel heard another strange sound from the bushes beside him.
"Poof!" With a soft sound, a shiny energy throwing knife instantly nailed to the place where the sound came from, Karel walked over to see that there was a small pool of black debris next to the shallow pit made by the flying knife, and when Karel approached, the Geiger counter on his waist screamed frantically.
A very powerful radiation source, Karel looked at the black debris on the ground with a solemn face, it seems that this radiation source can actually run on its own!
It's a little tricky.
Regardless of this strange thing, at least, with the strength of Karel and Claudia, there is no need to be afraid of this kind of guy who does not dare to show his face.
One piece, two pieces, and sure enough, there were a lot of packed uranium ingots near the dwarven furnace, or the kind of elemental uranium with no added metal, which was all cheap Karel.
Uranium is very dense, heavier than gold, and such a small box weighs half a ton.
The dwarves were filled with uranium in small wooden crates, and the number was very small, and it took a long time to find the pieces of uranium near the glowing green furnace.
When the last piece of uranium metal was stuffed into the box and the heavy lid was closed, the Geiger counter on Karel's waist was slightly quieter.
Radiation, reducing all body properties by 100% for 25 minutes.
Wiping the nosebleed, Karel activated the shadow cloak, clearing the radiation debuff that stacked to the apex, Karel is a little better, it seems that the thin gold silk shirt really can't block the strong radiation, but fortunately, he has the almighty shadow cloak skill, otherwise it is estimated that it will rot here.
"Alright, let's get back ......" Karel said to Claudia as he patted the small metal box on the side, just as a strange black shadow screamed and pounced on Karel at the same time as the Geiger counter re-elevated!
"Phew!" In the face of this flying black shadow, Karel punched out directly, although he was not a warrior monk specializing in fists and feet, but with the support of high-level equipment, the power of this punch was still very impressive!
The black shadow that rushed forward was so punched by this old punch that it even paused in the air for a second or two, and then was choked by Karel by the neck and pressed against the wall.
Radiation, reducing body stats by 1% for 15 seconds.
Radiation, reduces body stats by 3% for 45 seconds.
……
Just grabbing this weird thing, Karel's debuff bar keeps refreshing, and when the debuff stacks to 20%, Karel directly pulls this weird thing into three.
"What is this?" The Cloak of Shadows was still on cooldown, and Karel could only resist the high-energy radiation for nearly 20 seconds, his nosebleed dripping little by little, and he blinked his eyes, and the corners of his eyes began to seep blood, and the surrounding environment was red.
Because the loss of health is very small, only a dozen points, so Claudia on the side can only look at Karel's appearance in a hurry, and she can't dispel the radiation, as for brushing blood, Karel's blood hasn't lost much.
Because the corpse of that monster is particularly radiated, so Karel and Claudia had to observe from a distance, from the whole, this guy looks like a weird zombie, with strange bone blade tentacles all over his body, even if he is dead, he is still moving, but, what does not match his agile movements is that this guy is relatively short and fat, and it looks like a ......
"This is a dwarf?" Looking at the monster's familiar facial features, Claudia felt a little incredible.
"Maybe." Looking at the guy in front of him, Karel suddenly remembered the history of the Cursed Valley that Hercules told him before he came:
"When the rescue workers arrived, the whole village had become a ghost, and even many corpses had been undead, and the terrifying atmosphere made it impossible to clean up the corpses, and it was only a hasty way to block the road to the village."
It seems that this is a monster that combines corpse and radiation.,Although the strength is not strong.,But the radiation all over the body is simply painful.。
"Karel, I think we should go, I think you've thought about how we're going to leave." Claudia, who was standing on the side, suddenly took down the Ash Messenger and said with a solemn face.
Karel followed Claudia's line of sight, and at the entrance of the cave, seven or eight monsters with strange and ugly faces had gathered, ready to go, and let out a low roar.
"Oh, of course, let's go inside the mine." Looking at the monster at the entrance of the cave, Karel took out a pistol, and it was better to deal with these things with a long-range weapon.
"What? Mine caves? "Claudia waved her hand, exorcism! A burst of light shot out, burning a monster to ashes.
"Yes, there is a path inside the mine that leads to the outside, and the Dwarven army outside, the Hammer of Muradin, is more troublesome than the mine." Karel explained as quickly as he could.
"Alright, let's hurry!" As soon as Claudia finished speaking, the dwarf zombie monster roared and swarmed up!
