Chapter 161: Diablo III.6
[Kill the elite "Corpse Mother" to gain XP x50.2 Remaining.] γ
An elite with 50 experience, this elite is really cheap enough.
Gu Cheng looked at the corpse of the corpse mother on the ground, complained in his heart, turned back to Ramford and said, "I'll go around the ruins and take a look, you stay here." β
Ramford frowned: "It's too dangerous for you to go alone. Let's go clean up the rest of the corpse mother! β
"No need. I'm worried that we're all gone, and the undead creatures will take advantage of the gap to attack Tristalm, and that's going to be terrible then. Don't worry, I can deal with the corpse mother alone. Gu Cheng refused Ramford's entourage.
Although Ramford's strength is not weak, for Gu Cheng, the corpse mother, a garbage elite whose strength is not as good as that of a gamma hunter, is not dangerous at all, and it is not enough to rely on Ramford's local strength, not to mention that the monster experience killed by Ramford will not be counted on Gu Cheng's head, so why bring a person to "grab experience" with himself?
Ramford thought about it, if he and Gu Cheng left, Tristalm's safety was not guaranteed, and then agreed to Gu Cheng's suggestion.
Entering the ruins in the forest, Gu Cheng did not relax his vigilance because of the strength of the corpse mother, but was wary of every grass and tree in the forest. In particular, the bushes that are nearly a man tall, according to the setting of Diablo 3, often hide from some beasts that are violent because of evil magic.
"Whoosh-"
Suddenly, there was a cracking sound.
Fortunately, Gu Cheng was already on guard, and when he flashed to the side, a ten-centimeter-long spike flew in front of his eyes. Then several lizard-like monsters the size of domestic cats with spikes on their backs leaped out of the bushes.
Thorn Demon.
This monster Gu Cheng is no stranger at all, one of the most common monsters in the world of Diablo 2 Diablo 3. Attacks can be both close and far, with melee attacks by biting and ramming, and ranged attacks by firing spikes on the back. The speed of the spike is very fast, and if it is paired with a difficult monster attribute affix to the underworld, it is a shot into the soul and a stab to take away.
There is a saying in the Dark series, "I'd rather have a big pineapple than mess with the remote monsters", which shows how much the remote monsters in it are a headache for players.
"Whoosh-"
Two more spikes struck, Gu Cheng hid behind the tree, only to hear two "da-da" sounds, and 2/3 of the ten-centimeter-long spikes pierced into the trunk of the tree.
Just as Gu Cheng was about to shoot back, he saw more than a dozen thorn demons popping out of the bushes, shooting spikes at him in unison.
"Hell, there are so many thorns! Is this a stab in the devil's nest? How dare Gu Cheng continue to stay here, he directly laughed wildly and started the "crazy" state, and ran towards the wall of the ruins.
The Thorn Demon chased after a few steps, but Gu Cheng's speed was very fast, and they watched the target get farther and farther away, and retreated into the bushes.
Gu Cheng hid behind the wall and poked his head out to look at the thorn demons burrowed into the bushes and breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect that there were so many thorn demons in the bushes, could it be ...... Is it really a den of thorns? Isn't there a boss there?
In the dark, the boss means equipment, and Gu Cheng suddenly had the idea of going to the bushes to find out.
Not now, though.
The first goal now is to find the two remaining corpse mothers and kill them.
"Uhh
Gu Cheng heard a low zombie-like roar coming from behind the wall, and went around the wall to look over, only to see a huge corpse mother wandering around the ruins with several miserable zombies.
Gu Cheng took out the owl AX338 and put it on the wall, aiming at the head of the corpse mother, according to the previous battle, he estimated that the corpse mother's blood volume was about 1500-2000, the blood volume of ordinary zombies was 200-300, and the miserable zombies were 200-500.
"Bang-"
Gu Cheng aimed at the miserable zombie at the front, and directly exploded and ejected its head, instantly exploding a cloud of flames and engulfing all the miserable zombies around it.
Subsequently, Gu Cheng switched back to ordinary bullets, aimed at other miserable zombies, and shot his head with a gun. AX338 Change's bullets ran out, so he changed to twin shots, and before the corpse mother led the team closer, all the miserable zombies were solved.
The corpse mother only has one light pole commander left, and it is much easier to solve. What's more, there are not many ruins, but there are many abandoned houses with walls, and after a fight, the corpse mother didn't even get close to Gu Cheng's body, so she was put to the ground.
[Kill the elite "Corpse Mother" to gain XP x50.1 Remaining.] γ
After searching around the ruins, Gu Cheng found the remaining corpse mother, and after killing it and the miserable zombies around it, he completed the task.
[Complete the main quest "Clearing the Corpse Mother" to reward XP x1000 and Trisham Militia Reputation x1000.] γ
It took nearly two hours in total to deal with six or seven piles of zombies, lone thorn demons, and some mutated mosquito monsters. In addition, the 1000 experience required to complete the task is less than 1500 in total, and it is impossible to see it at all in front of the 60,000 experience points of 9 liters and 10 levels.
It's no wonder that Fat Tiger is reluctant to do the main quest, you must know that before Gu Cheng came to Trisham, they only did a few side quests, each of which was 4/5 thousand experience points, not counting the monster killing experience on the way to the mission.
But Gu Cheng did not give up his intention to be the main line because of this, but was more curious about what would happen in the end if the main line continued all the way.
After completing the task, Gu Cheng returned to the gate of Trissym.
Ramford saw Gu Cheng coming out of the forest, and hurriedly greeted him, and asked nervously, "How is the situation?" β
"The rest of the corpses have been dealt with."
When Ramford heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Thank you so much, without your help, with the reproduction speed of the corpse mother, Trisham is afraid that there will be another fierce battle in a few days. But can you convince Leah that she won't give up the idea of saving her uncle...... Based on our last visit to the cathedral, it is likely that Leah's uncle, Decard de Kane, is dead. Leah's persistence only sent her into danger. β
Gu Cheng said seriously: "She shouldn't give up. It was her uncle, after all. But...... I'll help her find Decard Kane. β
"Would you like to help her?"
Gu Cheng nodded: "As a displaced Nephitian, I know the importance of my relatives. I am also touched by Leah's persistence, and I will help her. β
"Thank you so much, I'll tell her the news. Presumably, after a series of battles, you are also tired, so I will ask someone to arrange a place for you to stay. Ramford beckoned a militiaman and gave him a few words.
Gu Cheng thought that according to the original plot, he should connect with Leah at this time, and then go to the cathedral, but he didn't expect Ramford to arrange a place for him?
Gu Cheng looked up at the gloomy sky, although it was evening at this time, it was already completely dark. It suddenly became clear to me that this was "reality" after all, not a game played on a computer, and even if I found Leah, it would be impossible to rush at night full of undead creatures.
In order to thank Gu Cheng for his contribution to Tristel, Ramford specially built a room for him, although it was low and dilapidated. The room was empty, except for a dilapidated wooden bed, only a wooden table and a chair with a broken leg missing.
Not only that, but the dilapidated house has a large hole in the wall that leaks wind, making the temperature in the room not high. But fortunately, Ramford had a barrel of wood fire in the fireplace, which made the room quite warmer. In the corner of the house were two broken buckets and miscellaneous items, and behind the door hung a wheel plow, which seemed to be a farm tool used for farm work.
Ramford explained to Gu Cheng apologetically: "The town was attacked a few days ago, and most of the vacant rooms in the town were like this, except for the homes of some residents. Although it looks a little tattered, as long as you clean up the residents, it's still fine. It's getting late today, so you'll spend the night first, and tomorrow I'll have Konar bring someone to repair the house for you. β
Gu Cheng said to Ramford: "Don't be so troublesome, I've been traveling for a long time, and I've long been used to living in ruins and sleeping on trees, and I'm already very satisfied with having a house like this." β
"Where, you're Trissym's benefactor, and it's hard to let you live in a house like this. Don't worry, you just have to live in peace, and I'll arrange everything for you tomorrow. That's your reward for helping Leah. β
Gu Cheng thanked him and didn't say anything more. Things like brushing favorability have to have a degree, and sometimes it will have the opposite effect after acting. Gu Da's editing skills are online, so naturally he will not make such a low-level mistake.
Ramford talked to Gu Cheng a few more words, told him where he could find himself, and if he needed anything, he would ask the militia to tell him, and then left the dilapidated house.
Gu Cheng added some wood to the fireplace, took a quilt from his personal space and threw it on the wooden bed, wrapped himself, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The next day, the sound of the rooster crowed woke up Gu Cheng, he opened his eyes, first used the "tracking" skill, and got the whereabouts of the fat tiger.
At this time, he was more than 1,000 meters away from Trissym, and had obviously left Tristum.
Gu Cheng asked Ramford yesterday about the location of Rogue Town, although it is not far from Tristelm, but even if it is a carriage ride, it will take a day to go back and forth. In other words, if Fat Tiger is really doing the escort mission, he will leave this morning, and he will not be able to return to Trisham until at least tomorrow morning.
During this day, although Gu Cheng was not prepared to dig a pit for the fat tiger, he also had to make some preparations. If nothing else, at least hold the "initiative" of Trissym in your hands.
Gu Cheng took out the refrigerator from his personal space, and after eating something, he took out a few cans of beer, peanuts and other snacks from it. He didn't rush out to find a side quest to do, but waited for Konar, who came to repair his house, to "patronize".
Sure enough, Ramford did not "disappoint" Gu Cheng, about nine o'clock in the morning, he calculated that Gu Cheng should have almost gotten up, so he asked Konar to come to Gu Cheng's "house" with two militiamen to repair the house for him.
"Brother Kornal. Thank you very much. "Gu Cheng is a brother when he meets people, and he has lowered his identity, and he can indeed win the favor of a cheerful person like Kornal.
Kornal waved his hand: "Brother Jack is out of sight, I haven't thanked you for saving your life, you saved Trissym twice, what is it to repair a house!" When I'm done, I'll invite you to the tavern for a drink at noon! β
"Hahaha! Brother Konar thought the same as I thought, but I'm ready to try the wine and food I brought from my hometown while you and your brothers rest. As for noon, let's talk about it, okay? Gu Cheng pointed to the food and wine on the table and said.
"That's embarrassing." As he spoke, Conal swept his gaze to the table and saw the canned beer, and immediately became curious: "What is this?" β
Gu Cheng opened a can and handed it to Konar: "This is the beer from my hometown, Brother Konar to taste it?" β
Kornar took the beer, first took a big sip, blinked, as if tasting the taste of beer, and then poured a can directly with Gollum, burped, wiped his mouth, and laughed: "Ha! Not bad! Although the degree is a little lower, the taste is acceptable, and the most amazing thing is that it seems to be chilled, and it is so refreshing to drink cold beer in this weather! β
As he spoke, Conar looked left and right, and said suspiciously, "This doesn't look like a place with ice, how did Brother Jack do it?" β
Gu Cheng casually said: "This is the special brewing method of my hometown, and it is combined with frost magic, so it has this effect." β
Gu Cheng had discovered before that although the refrigerator was in a "turned off" state after being put into the carry-on space, it still maintained a low temperature effect as when it was powered on. That's why he dared to stuff it with all kinds of food.
It's a pity that although Gu Cheng's refrigerator is a large refrigerator with four doors, the capacity is still limited, and only two cases of beer are prepared, which is still left over when his friends and colleagues came to the house before, and Gu Cheng usually prefers to drink Coke rather than drink.
And Konar has barbarian blood, people like them drink in the tavern with a few, Gu Cheng estimates that these two cases of beer are only enough for him to cushion his stomach.
But it doesn't matter, Gu Cheng's original intention was not to get Kornal drunk, but to take advantage of the time he was drinking with him to find out the information, and by the way, brush the "intimacy" of the plot characters.
Konar was very efficient, and with two militiamen, he turned Gu Cheng's "home" into a new one in less than an hour. It's not as good as the new two-story buildings in town, but it's much better than the tattered and crumbling way it looked at the beginning.
Seeing that the three of Kornar were busy, Gu Cheng hurriedly beckoned the three of them to sit down and eat something, and greeted them "warmly".
After a case of beer, Konar also opened the conversation box and chatted with Gu Chengtian, and Gu Da edited it online, compiling a touching life experience and bizarre travel journey, which made the three of Konar stunned and admired in their hearts.
In particular, Gu Cheng said that he was a genius in the village when he was born, but because of an accident at the age of nine, he fell from the clouds and fell into the quagmire, becoming a waste in the village, being looked down upon, being bullied all day long, and his fiancΓ©e even quit the marriage...... But he did not immerse himself in this, but held the great ambition of "thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the poor youth", and practiced all the way to the west, and took in a monkey who likes dancing sticks, a pig who is good at eating and raking, and a fish-headed monster, one person and three demons walked together, all the way......
Kornar listened with relish and couldn't help asking, "What happened later?" You go to the Western Paradise and find out that the Archangel is a demon sent by hell 'three years after three years, three years after three years', and finally undercover for ten years...... What happened again? Did you fight the demons? What about angels? Help? Where have those demon brothers of yours gone? Why are you the only one left now? β
Gu Cheng: ...... Brother, don't ask, let me think about what to do next.
Gu Xiaoyan Tang Seng honestly didn't want to open for business, and if he continued to open for business, he would have to turn into a horse with mental strength, and he would be terrified......
However, not to mention anything else, at least Konar has been completely impressed by Gu Cheng's "experience (so)", and said that if he has the opportunity in the future, he must follow Gu Cheng to take risks.
In addition to listening to stories from Gu Cheng, Konar also told a lot about him.
Konar's father was a real barbarian, and later in an attack by a demon from hell (Gu Cheng judged from the timeline narrated by Konar, it should be when the plot of Dureel, the Lord of Pain, in Diablo 2 took place), both parents died in that disaster. So he took his young sister to live with him and followed a caravan to make a living.
Later, during an invasion by the Legions of Hell, Konar was out on a caravan to do business, and his town became a target for the demons of Hell, completely destroyed, and its inhabitants slaughtered. When Kornar returned to the town, a week had passed since the human warriors had fought off the demons of Hell, and he looked at the devastated town as he frantically searched for his sister.
In the end, only the corpse that had been gnawed by the demon was dug up under the rubble.
Kornar is crazy.
He went crazy looking for the demon for revenge. But because of his own strength, he fell into danger, but he was lucky to be saved by a corps of human warriors.
As a result, Conal joined the Warriors' legion and aspired to become a Barbarian warrior, and although he was only half of the Barbarian and had limited talent, he still worked hard to become a Barbarian warrior.
As the Legion crusaded against demons for a full decade, Kornar befriended Dani and stayed in Trissym for her. In order to protect his new home, Konar joined Trisham's militia. This time, he was going to personally guard his homeland.
After telling his deeds, Konar introduced the residents of Tristalm to Gu Cheng, from Ramford to Leah, from Leah to Diccad Kane, and told Gu Cheng all the information he knew.
Gu Cheng found that although Trissym was roughly the same as Trissym in the game, there was a big difference in details. But after all, one is "reality" and the other is "game", it is impossible to introduce the background of every passerby in the game, and "reality", everyone has their own story, just like Kornal, who may be just a passerby in the dark, but there are rich stories here.
After drinking all the beer, Konar was still unsatisfied, and beckoned the drunken militia and Gu Cheng, who was holding a can of beer to "chat" with him, and went to Dani's restaurant to prepare for the second round of drinking.
Gu Cheng's "task" today is to break into the "inside" of Trissym and become a Trissym person through Kornal's "appreciation", so in the face of Kornal's invitation, he naturally readily agreed.
