The Pandala Mountains are located north of Uragon on the border with Yaloen.

The perennial cold has left nothing but snow and ice here.

People are often reluctant to accept a journey that is destined to be fruitless, so almost no one has been here since the end of the war with the Abyssal Species more than thirty years ago.

Even in the original game, this was a less important place - the story party rarely mentioned it.

After searching the inventory in his memory, Lin Xiao knew so much.

From the moment he climbed the mountain, except for a few foods, he climbed almost all day, and then he reached the top of the mountain at the junction of dusk and cold night.

Unlike the scenery along the road, the rolling slope is smoothed here, and a huge open space ends in a cave shrouded in darkness.

Several rows of heavily armored soldiers lined up in front of the cavern, and the snow seemed to have no effect on them, standing there motionless.

On the contrary, it was Lin Xiao's light steps that made them turn their heads suddenly.

Suddenly, a breath of slaughter came to his face.

Although the number of people is small, Lin Xiao can feel that this is definitely a team of elites.

"I have no ill will."

Lin Xiao raised his hand and stopped and stood in place.

At the front of the array, a burly man stepped out, wearing a helmet and unable to see clearly.

He first looked at Lin Xiao carefully, and seemed to be a little concerned about his "weird" dress, but in the end, he confirmed something, knocked on the shield in his hand, and shouted:

"Relax, boys, there's a guest coming."

With that, he walked towards Lin Xiao.

In front of him, he took off his helmet, revealing his face covered by his visor, a horrible scar that ran from his forehead to his cheeks and the base of his ear, as if something had nearly cut his entire head in half.

"I'm sorry, they just haven't seen anyone alive in a long time."

He scratched his head a little embarrassed, and then patted Lin Xiao's shoulder very naturally, and his rough voice was as loud as a bell.

Lin Xiao shook her head, saying that she didn't care, but she didn't understand what the meaning of being stationed in this almost isolated place was? Or rather, what's in that cave......

He didn't ask.

"Is Mr. Elommel here? Under the commission something to be handed over to him. ”

Dahan was stunned for a moment, looking a little surprised:

"I am, but how could anyone bring me something?"

Lin Xiao didn't answer, but took out Pamela's letter and the pendant and handed them to Elommel.

The moment he saw the pendant, Elommel's pupils twitched violently.

The iron-clad-looking man's voice trembled slightly.

"This—This is ......"

His trembling hand wanted to take it from Lin Xiao, but when he got in front of him, he immediately retracted it, rubbed it the leather at the stitching of the heavy armor, and then carefully held it with both hands.

"This is Pamela, this is Pamela's pendant, I gave it on my tenth birthday, my poor little daughter, it's great, she's still alive, she remembers me, it's wonderful, it's wonderful......"

He couldn't help but pick up the pendant and grind it on his fingertips repeatedly, as if he could feel the temperature of Pamela from above.

It took a while for Elommel to come to his senses, and he hurriedly opened the letter and read it meticulously.

Lin Xiao has never experienced this feeling of getting the news again after a long absence from her loved ones, but she guessed that it was enough to move people.

He didn't bother Elommel.

For a long time –

"Click-", "Click-"

Two drops of water fell on the thin paper, and when he looked up again, the face of this man who had fought all his life was already crawling with tears.

His breathing became heavy, the tip of his nose was a little red, his slightly aged cheeks wrinkled together, and his expression was extremely complicated.

It took a long time for him to wipe his face and let out a long breath.

Lin Xiao noticed that in the cold wind, his snort didn't seem to have much temperature.

"It's a gaffe, and it makes you laugh."

His deep voice seemed to be pouring out the depression of the moment.

Lin Xiao felt the need to remind: "Pamela is still there on the mountainside, maybe I'm waiting for you." ”

"What? How did she come here? Quick, take me to her! ”

The excitement on Elommel's face flashed, and he grabbed Lin Xiao's arm and was about to walk down the mountain, but he only took a step and stopped, and sat there straight.

"No, no...... I can't see her, I can't leave, I can't leave here. ”

As if he had thought of something, he lowered his head in a dejected manner, and his whole body collapsed in an instant, and even his originally straight waist became rickety.

Lin Xiao was about to ask, but suddenly heard a lot of commotion in a cave not far away.

The entrance hidden in the darkness is like a lake that has fallen into droplets, and black ripples spread outward in circles.

The armor warrior in front of the array didn't seem to be a stranger to this, but he neatly took the shield on his back, and the bottom struck on the ice, and a heaven-shattering cry erupted-

"Drink—"

Then, countless ghouls poured out of the darkness.

Elommel's expression suddenly became serious, and he patted Lin Xiao's arm:

"Little brother, get out of here, thank you for bringing me news of Pamela, but we have work to do now."

After speaking, without waiting for Lin Xiao to respond, he turned around sharply and ran forward, taking off his shield and drawing his sword, while shouting:

"Array—Charge!"

Lin Xiao was originally a little surprised by this sudden battle, and a prompt suddenly came out of his ears-

[Side quest - Pamela's request has been completed, will the dungeon be settled immediately?] 】

Settlement means leaving, Lin Xiao glanced at the label on the ghoul, and silently closed the dialog box.

For exploration-oriented dungeons, the more plot-related unlocks, the more rewards, and the more he has completed the link, although it seems that he has met the requirements for customs clearance, the degree of exploration is obviously not too high.

What's more, the pile of monsters in front of him is also a big gain.

Lin Xiao stretched out his hand, blue light flashed, and the predatory tooth was taken out of his backpack.

[Ghoul] - Level 9, no more, no less, just right.

He kicked the ground hard under his feet, and the whole person rushed out like an arrow from the string, and even overtook Elommel, who was one step ahead, halfway through.

Approaching the armor array, Lin Xiao jumped high and appeared in mid-air, and then his eyes locked on a ghoul in a position opposite the rear, and with a flip of his palm, a faint light flashed on the dark fangs of predation, and then Lin Xiao's figure appeared in front of the ghoul.

Equip the skill - [Spike].

He swung his arm, his sharp fangs of predator slicing gracefully through the air, slashing at the ghoul's neck with a sword.

The smell of fishy and carrion spread, and Lin Xiao had begun to get used to these.

[Kill Reward: Exp+120, Skip Reward: Exp+30.] 】

A 150 experience, it simply couldn't be richer.

Lin Xiao looked at the tide of corpses surrounding behind him, and the corners of his mouth raised, now he didn't have to worry about not being able to rise to level 10.

"Eglace—"

With his whispered call, the black walls of mana spread out, blocking the ghouls who swarmed up in their path.

Then a figure flashed, and the sword light in the sky cleared a large clearing in place in an instant.

Level 7 Eglace is already a master in the E-level realm.

"I'm sorry to bring you into the killing again."

In the gap between the corpses surging up again, Lin Xiao spoke.

"We were born for this."

Eglace whispered, and the dark tide of darkness in the cavern behind her swooped out, howling as the ghouls pounced on them as if they had fallen into a swamp, fluttering their teeth and claws to crawl out.

Eglace's graceful figure strode forward, but her hands were fierce sword lights, each sword bringing 150 experience.

With both of them on board, this battle is destined not to be long.

Half an hour later, the influx of corpses had stopped, cutting off the source, and the few remaining ghouls were cleaned up in the blink of an eye.

The rich experience made Lin Xiao directly upgrade from level 7 to nearly level 9, but to his surprise, when he met Elommel again, he looked at himself with appreciation, but at Eglace's ...... but fear.
