Chapter 77: The Great Adventure of the Cloud Forest One
Southerners and northerners have some subtle deviations in their views of demons.
In the eyes of the northerners, the devil is a disaster, a nightmare, and the root of all evil, and even the land stained with the blood of the devil will become unreproductive; But in the eyes of Southerners, the devil, in addition to appealing impressions, is wealth, a ladder to the upper echelons of society.
Because of the alchemy culture that prevails on the Penglin Peninsula in the south, if you can get a rare demonic material—whether you exchange the demon essence for money, or seek to make a magic potion, and awaken to become a strong person (this is one of the signs of the upper class in the eyes of adventurers)—it is equivalent to a step to the sky.
Just like Cindy's daddy Maxey, he has been fighting on the battlefield for ten years, and he has accumulated enough wealth to keep a small mercenary group running. Modern people know that don't look at the small scale of the enterprise, millions of people can't see the shadow. The old man is definitely an invisible rich.
Maxi is the Awoken, one of the few powerhouses in Stormwind; Others, such as the city lord Varier and the knight of Juliels, are also demonic awakened, which shows that it is not wrong to regard awakening as a symbol of the upper class.
Man dies for money, and birds die for food.
There is this temptation, even in the interval between the Demon Tide War, there are countless adventurers, gamblers who have lost everything, young people who love fantasy, and dreamers who look forward to getting rich overnight go deep into the cloud forest to hunt those lonely demons, or be hunted by demons......
As long as there are successful people walking down the plateau, people will not see how many bones will be buried on the plateau forever.
*****
Shen Yan was facing the mirror, trying to dress himself up as a popular demon hunter on the plateau.
An old piece of chain mail made of metal rings that didn't fit well. The long hem almost hung down to the knees, and he had to tie his waist with a wide belt so as not to affect the flexibility of his movements - the rookie attribute was perfect; The weapon is an "ordinary" greatsword paired with an "inconspicuous" dagger, plus a rudimentary longbow casually cut from local fir wood - the poverty attribute is perfect;
Finally, it is paired with an old helmet with two holes in the top, but the style is very beautiful, and by the way, a little silver powder is sprinkled on the horns, and it looks like an ancestral horn helmet - this gives the helmet a story, and it couldn't be more perfect!
The above add up, and it is an inspirational image that has to take the last family background and go to the plateau to do the last fight because of the middle of the family road! I even thought of an excuse for not taking off the helmet every day - the ancestral helmet, the family is not prosperous, and the helmet is not down!
You don't even need Shen Yan to explain it yourself, just look at this equipment and you will understand it in seconds.
Know how to yarn!
Don't say that the sword is the fire demon's decapitation sword, and the helmet is fake, just say that the chain mail - the name of this chain mail before it was old was "The Robe of the Great Sword Master", a proper high magic item! The magic attribute is "50% resistant to sword-type weapons"!
That's right, this chain mail is the one worn on the snake demon Borglin, although the chest has been pierced with a large hole, but the snake demon is 5 meters tall, and her chain mail has to be reduced by five after being repaired by Penny before she can barely use it. Bolgolin knew that Shen Yan's weapon was a decapitation sword, and she wore this chain mail just to trap Shen Yan, but how did she know that Shen Yan actually changed to a claw after transforming...... How could she be so unlucky!
So what kind of poor hunter are you wearing in gorgeous magical equipment! Doesn't your conscience hurt?
Shen Yan didn't care—except for Michelle, he hadn't seen a human for a year and five months. Man is a social animal, and he looks at strange demons all day long, and it is strange that he is in a good mood, and he urgently needs to go to the human race to have some fun now.
If you continue like this, you will be depressed......
"Do you want to be together? Penny. We are both male and female, crisscrossing the cloud forest! What do you think? Shen Yan asked, not receiving any answer...... Penny was angry.
After leveling up, the Phantom Clone can now use two attributes. As soon as Shen Yan was happy, he created a Penny clone with a physique of 16, agility of 19, and a strength of only 1...... Then Penny just ignored him!
With his return to the neutral camp, his Warlock class was also lifted.
Since Shen Yan's class level was raised to "Warlock: Epic Tenth Order", he obtained the spell slot of the Five Rings of Magic. In addition to the need to choose two new spells, the "Fireball" and "Dismantling Spells" were converted into spell-like abilities, and the two empty three-ring slots that were vacated also needed to be filled by new spells.
Starting with the five-ring spell, the magician began to show the awesome side of "your uncle will always be your uncle". Even if a mage sets foot in the legend in the future, the magic of the five rings will still be one of the main daily workhorses and will never go out of style. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for Shen Yan to choose carefully.
The reason why it is difficult to choose the magic of the three rings is because there are too many good spells in this ring! In addition to the fireball uncle, there are also super killing "Flame Arrow", god-killing and demon slaying "Ma Youfu Meteor", faster than teammates "Acceleration Technique", "Slowing Down Technique" to make teammates slow down, etc., the three rings simply can't be better!
Not to mention, there is still that ...... in the third ring These are two more empty seats, these are two more sources of pain! If a patient with difficulty in choosing is a warlock, he will definitely not survive the sixth level.
So Shen Yan put these choices aside for the time being, if it is not good to choose, he will not choose first, and go out to wave first!
"Oh yes! Let's go! Let's go! Shen Yan jumped out of the window of the wooden house, and there was a "pop" behind him, and the cloak opened into a bat-shaped glider. He circled around the hut for a moment, then swooped down and flew further south into the forest.

"Why is your face red?"
"Radiant!"
Shen Yan looked at the questioner in front of him who looked like he was choked up, and hurriedly snorted, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, just kidding...... Blush This is plateau red, because I am the Northeast Silver! Northeast silver is all red-faced! ”
"Hmph~ What a nasty color, like a demon." Seeing the boy in distress, the girl helped to relieve the road.
The total area of the Cloud Forest is about the same as that of Jilin Province, and it is full of clouds of different shades, making it easy to get lost - but the elven wife is careful and has already prepared a map of the Cloud Plateau for him. When the druid walked into the forest, the flowers, trees, birds and beasts were all her eyes and ears, and this map was probably more detailed than the three northern kingdoms in their hands.
Shen Yan searched according to the human activity area marked above, and easily found a small group of adventurers, and then "encountered" them.
The composition of the five-person team in front of him seems very reasonable - the veteran Clifford, who uses a halberd as a weapon, has participated in the demon slaying war, and has rich experience, he is qualified to be the guide of the team;
Captain Moore, a serious middle-aged man, carries a rather mixed weapon, does not see specialization, and is suspected of being an awakened; The vice-captain Rex, carrying a huge compound bow on his back, also pinned the badge of the Demon Slayer Archer Legion of the Upper Penglin Kingdom to his chest, 100% of the awakened ones, or the kind that has been strengthened in a fixed direction.
The remaining two should be rookies who have come with them to increase their experience, a young magician Elizhe, and a young knight Matilda.
It was these two rookies who were in charge of interrogating him just now, and rookies have the right to talk nonsense, even if they say something wrong, it's nothing. It seems that this captain has a lot of experience in bringing newcomers.
"My name is Francdon, it's not me who brags, I'm also well-known in Stormwind in the South. I happened to get lost with my companion, how about joining you? I just wanted to have a great adventure and the loot demand was on the back burner. Shen Yan introduced with a little pompousness.
"No! This person ......, "The girl knight, who already looked at him unpleasantly, was the first to refuse.
She noticed that when she introduced her name, the man actually looked at her boobs with strange eyes - what does it have to do with Matilda's boobs! And the knights...... Knights don't need boobs like that!
As soon as Captain Moore raised his hand, the girl immediately stopped talking.
Seeing this, Shen Yan added ten points to this team in his heart, it is not terrible to bring newcomers, as long as newcomers are willing to be obedient. If the newcomer is a pig teammate and the captain can't control it, then the group is wiped out in minutes.
"Sorry, we're both from Upper Penlin and aren't very familiar with the southerners. Although it is the obligation of every team to reach out to someone who is lone on the Cloud Plateau, our team has enough manpower and will not consider adding new team members for the time being. If you want, you can come with us until the next campsite. Moore said seriously, meaning that we don't know who you are and can't trust you.
Shen Yan also saw that these people knew each other well and were acquaintances. And he belongs to the stranger who suddenly appeared, or the annoying southerner.
"Well, wait a minute, do you know Curtis? Elle Curtis! He remembered that the flower peacock was a celebrity in the royal capital of Penglin.
"Curtis? That theater owner!? "Looks like I know ...... Because at the mention of the name, the maiden knight wrinkled her nose and showed an expression of extreme disgust, as if she had seen a pile of rotting garbage. "What do you have to do with him?"
"Enemy," Shen Yan said solemnly, "when I see him, I will draw my knife and cut it!" ”
