Chapter 39: The Black Wasteland (New Books for Collection, Recommendation)
The box was opened, and what appeared in front of Gu Cheng's eyes were dozens of gold coins plus a few bottles of potions.
It's better than nothing, Gu Cheng inevitably has a little disappointment in his heart.
But thinking that just now, the Tree Head Wooden Fist also blew himself up with a dark gold-level heavy armor boot, Gu Cheng's heart was a little better, presumably today's character has been spent?
Gu Cheng comforted himself like this.
Continuing to move along the path, at the time when it was about to fall, the black wasteland finally appeared in front of Gu Cheng's eyes.
It was a cursed oppressive black, whether it was trees, flowers, stones, or flowing water, it was a gloomy black as far as the eye could see.
This land, which has been cursed for an unknown number of years, has finally attracted another adventurer after many years of silence.
Speaking of the Black Wasteland, we have to mention the former ruler of this wasteland - the Countess.
What was once a black wasteland is still an extremely rich and fertile land, relying on this land, many human beings have been fed.
And the one who owns this land is a beautiful countess.
The countess lived in a huge castle with a tall tower, and the countess stood on the top of the tower every day to watch her territory.
The young countess can be said to be a kind and wise lord, and under her leadership, everything is developing in a thriving direction.
It's just that when decades have passed, the countess has grown old and decrepit, and the countess, who refuses to accept that she is slowly aging, is tempted by the devil and throws herself into the arms of the abyss.
According to the method given by the devil, the countess drank a cup of the blood of the young virgin every week, and if there was no blood of the young virgin, then ten times the blood of the young woman would be needed to replace it.
The Countess then built five floors of underground space beneath the tower, dedicated to imprisoning the captured women and mastering them with the powers they had acquired from demons.
The countess, who had drunk the blood of her young virgin, had indeed reverted to the beautiful appearance of her youth, which made her extremely satisfied.
But what the demon didn't tell the countess was that the amount of blood she drank would increase over time.
Slowly, people throughout the territory discovered that more and more young women were missing.
A passing paladin was commissioned to investigate the matter.
As a result, after the five-story underground prison under the countess's tower was discovered, the blood and countless corpses instantly ignited the anger of the people in the territory.
With the help of the paladins, the enraged people tied up the Countess and burned her alive in a fifth-tier dungeon built by the Countess herself.
Before finally leaving, the enraged people bulldoze the castle to the ground, leaving only the five-story underground prison at the base of the tower, in order to warn future generations not to be lured by the demons of the Abyss.
The castle and the countess became taboo for a while, and the people refused to mention the castle and the countess's name again, leaving only the remains of the tower with the name of the Tower of Oblivion, meaning the tower that stood in the forgotten wilderness of the gods.
It's just that after an unknown amount of time, the burnt countess was resurrected by a big man in the abyss, and since then she has become another loyal thug left by the demons in the world.
And the once fertile and fertile land, under the curse of the big man in the abyss, has also become such a black wasteland that looks like a dilapidated and desolate place with no grass growing at a glance.
After a night of repairing, Gu Cheng officially set foot in the area of the Black Wasteland.
Not long after walking, a group of monsters came over, led by several huge beasts.
This monster is an upgraded version of the giant beast, a beast that is bigger and thicker than the giant beast, and has made great progress in attack and speed, but the mental intelligence is the same as that of the giant beast, they are all the same stupid brain lack strings.
Followed by six or seven familiar figures-evil hunters, but Gu Cheng now has the skill of group control, under the slowdown of the frost nova, the fire bombs are one after another, along with several huge beasts, and soon Gu Cheng sent this group of monsters back to the abyss, and accepted their experience points by the way.
As you keep going, you encounter many monsters one after another.
When these monsters saw people, they rushed directly to them as soon as they saw them.
Groups of monsters just found Gu Cheng, such as an upgraded version of a team of skeletons - resurrected warriors and resurrected archers.
There were other monsters, like some and a bunch of blade demon camps, starving dead, and so on......
By the time Gu Cheng reached the door of the Forgotten Tower, the experience bar of 1,600 experience points required for upgrading had accumulated to the point of approaching eighty percent.
The Tower of Oblivion has five floors of underground prisons, and the one that Gu Cheng is about to enter is the first floor.
As a qualified adventurer who has experienced the influence of the underground environment such as evil caves and underground passages, Gu Cheng quickly adapted to the difference in brightness of light and dark conversion after entering the Tower of Oblivion.
Its extraordinary agility allowed Gu Cheng to calmly take a large amount of the surrounding environment while dodging the attack of the monsters gathered at the entrance of the Tower of Oblivion in time.
From the entrance, you can see a long, wide corridor, with two people hugging each other every three or five meters on each side to support the top of the prison.
The prison was made entirely of stones, and it was rough and not so beautiful, but it was definitely solid.
The one who attacked Gu Cheng just now was a group of cousins of the Sinking Demon, a little demon who was a level higher than the Blade Demon, this group of little demons covered in earthy yellow had just ambushed at the entrance, catching Gu Cheng off guard.
Fortunately, Gu Cheng was already level 6, and under the explosion of the frost nova, he slowed down all the little demons around him, and then he burst out.
After being slowed down, the little devil became a piece of meat on Gu Cheng's chopping board, and Gu Cheng was allowed to take the round and rub it flat.
Follow the same old routine, first slow down, then kill the little devil wizard, and finally call the name one by one.
One fire bomb after another killed all the little demons who were ambushing Gu Cheng, and Gu Cheng, who had just been startled by the sudden attack, was finally much better.
Although the little devil is already an upgraded and upgraded version of the Sinking Demon, its level attribute is really not taken into account by Gu Cheng.
And after cleaning up monsters like the Sinking Demon for a long time, Gu Cheng naturally knew the best way to deal with the Sinking Demon.
However, although the method is old-fashioned, the effect has always been as good as ever.
After sending away a group of little devils, Gu Cheng continued to walk forward.
Walking through a long corridor, at the end of which is a semicircular arch at the top, and outside the door is the next chamber of the prison.
Looking quietly behind the door, there was a large group of little demons in the other room, among them, there were also three or four upgraded versions of the sheep people, the bloody clan.
A group of monsters were circling around not far from the door, led by an elite-level little demon.
