Chapter 44: Return to the Origin Planet as an Native
The people of the town call this hilly valley a place of corruption.
No creature would actively approach the vicinity of the Corrupted Lands. Most of the creatures that approached were stunned young people who were full of self-confidence, who came to die, or brave people who really dared to take risks.
Of course, there is another kind of person, who provides services to the first two kinds of people, such as Wang Yonghao, a guide who shuttles between the town and the corrupt land.
The last supply depot near the Corrupted Lands is a dilapidated inn called the Lookout Inn.
The old inn barely maintained a level that had not yet been completely corrupted, but it was impossible to determine how old it was.
The eldest innkeeper, Varnika, will tell you that her father met her mother when he wandered here 1,300 years ago, and that it was in this ruined inn that it was.
All the furnishings are all wooden, locally sourced oak, heavy and dull, following the completely unlit interior structure, which is really a dull theme.
The inn may be remembered by many, but the holes and cracks in the furniture make it hard to imagine that this is an inn run by a dryad known for its wood magic.
Perhaps this run-down inn called the "Lookout Hostel" isn't as pretty as the buildings you can see in the city, but its main feature is security.
The inn is housed in the body and canopy of a towering tree catalyzed by a Dryad, perhaps in the guise of defending against the brainless zombie hordes and demon eyes that swagger through the city at night.
The tall and thick foliage of the giant tree exposed the roof of the inn, the only part of the tree that extended from the tree itself.
Huge flying mounts anchor on it, enjoying the afterglow of the setting sun, and at nightfall, the foliage will follow the magical setting and obscure everything about the inn.
The inn inside the giant tree is quite exquisite, so delicate that anyone would think that it is a cave dug out of the tree species, without any decoration, just showing the "exquisite" magic of nature.
The tree where the inn is located stands like a pillar supporting heaven and earth, standing on the horizon to the west of the town. Give pedestrians heading to the Land of Corruption a clear landmark enough to look out at the mountains and run dead horses.
Because of this, only the best guides, travelers to the Lookout Lodge will know what time to leave and get there before the night and the corrupt monsters attack.
The group of knights who were speeding forward in the twilight were lucky to have Wang Yonghao, the most famous guide on the road, personally leading the way, however, they certainly could not seek refuge in the lookout inn before dark.
Just as they were fooled into setting off today, they must be in the wilderness when night falls.
Because what they didn't know was that the young guide who led them, wearing a tattered yellow raincoat and a straw hat, had a more famous title than he dared to be a guide on this road himself—Star Greedy Hao.
Wang Yonghao has been in this world for more than a year, and he has this nickname because of his quirks, he likes to collect meteorites that have a chance to appear in the wild at night.
It is precisely because of this that the road he led never went straight to the big tree where the hotel was located, but must have trekked far away from mountains and rivers in anticipation of a greater chance of encountering a meteorite at night.
It's just that these pretentious knight lords, and even the noble lords, don't know what this seemingly useless meteorite can do?
At dusk, the golden wuxi drooped, and the roars and tracks of zombies began to appear sporadically in the distance on the way forward.
"Heh~"
"Heh~uhh
Wang Yonghao, who was in tattered clothes, naturally continued to take these knights around the road, in the name of avoiding zombies, saving physical strength, and avoiding unnecessary battles.
Hearing these roars, the trained horses were lifted in vain, and their owners had to prepare for battle again within a day.
The horse of the chief knight Shulkh was slightly wounded in the battle the night before, and suddenly went berserk due to irritation, and his front hooves suddenly raised, knocking the battle-hardened knight to the ground!
Under the stunned gaze of his peers, a puff of smoke disappeared into the twilight.
The captain of the knights jumped up from the ground, looked at the completely lost warhorse, and kicked the bushes on the ground to hide his shame.
All the knights immediately grabbed the reins at the same time, and the horses moved to the left from the middle to avoid trampling on their commanders.
"Hiss~pharynge~um!"
"Heh~ uh!"
"Hiss~Yin'er~Hmm!"
Just as Captain Shulhe's cavalry squad could not completely stop, the howls of zombies were heard in the distance, and the desperate and frightened neighing of the horse called Red Hoof.
"Red Hoof!"
Enraged, Shulch drew the platinum broadsword at his waist and was about to gallop into the distant mist to retrieve his warhorse.
But what he didn't realize was that as the desperate and painful neighing of the horses came back, all the war horses suddenly lost their previous fighting intentions, and all of them became stagnant and trembling.
"Don't go, it's useless!" Wang Yonghao, who was standing on the side, said.
Few haughty knightly warhorses would have an ordinary man without force riding on their backs, and similarly, a guide who could own a large animal was even rarer.
So Wang Yonghao naturally needs to run to show the knights the way.
Fortunately, he wore a pair of green boots on his feet that did not match his shabby clothes at all.
These boots are clean and beautiful, even if you rush in the middle of the night and a day's journey, the pair of white wings on them are not stained with a trace of dust!
Still clean and tidy!
Shulch stood on the ground in a gloomy manner, listening to the faint neighing of war horses in the distance, his hand on the hilt of his sword, and the cold light in his eyes as he looked at the guide.
Shulch is quite strong, and his long years as a knight make him look like a pile of walls made of platinum when he wears his armor, and even in this quiet night with its own misty attributes, it will shine with dazzling brilliance.
His elongated green eyes lost the arrogance and contempt he had when he first saw Wang Yonghao!
He waited for a long time before he lifted the platinum broadsword again, and seemed to have walked out of the grief of the death of his beloved war horse.
"Actually, this horse was captured by me during the private battle of the county nobles last month! I care more about that idiot than about life or death? ”
Without a trace of emotion in his words, the chief of the Shulch knight said coldly, "The fool who assigned you would think that the zombie hordes and demon eyes in this night can do any harm to our Earl Guard?" ”
Wang Yonghao was not afraid when he heard him say this, but he quietly moved a step back, approaching the sunflower behind him that could also provide a faint light to the dark earth at night.
"I don't understand what you're saying, Lord Knight, go and inquire, I'm the best guide on this road......"
"Yes, you are the best guide, a guide actually has more than one magic item, and sure enough, he is the best guide!" Shuerhe suddenly interrupted Wang Yonghao's words with a sharp voice!
Shulch pointed his sword at the spotless green boots on his feet, the glittering belt buckle around his waist, and the swarthy and cold knuckles on his hands!
Sneered, "A pair of Hermes boots that increase speed, an agile buckle chain that increases reaction and speed, and a pair of climbing claws!" ”
"The entire continent of Terraria doesn't know if you can find a second guide like you!" Shulch asked angrily.
"Your instigator may be shielded by Lord Houghton, the useless nephew of the Earl of Eddington, but who can protect you as a little 'guide'?"
Shulch carried his saber and waved his hand to slash a flying herring-like monster that was biting at him, and in an instant, he regained his previous contempt and arrogance.
"Lord Knight, I'm just a hard-working person who risked my life to lead the way in this remote outskirts for three silver coins and fifteen coppers, how did I survive until now without anything to save my life?"
Wang Yonghao was humble on his face, but in fact, he quietly grabbed the sunflower behind him and looked at the arrogant knight in front of him cautiously.
He knew very well that Shulhe's hero-level strength was far beyond what he could provoke, and even the youngest knight in this knight team was an attack of more than thirty points with a casual blow!
The devotees of the Sun Temple have great strength even at night!
Against a weak chicken with no more than fifteen magic attacks and no armor with all his strength, it's a instant kill!
Otherwise, how could this Knights of Divine Grace have such a great reputation!
But Wang Yonghao also has his own hole cards, such as these knights from noble backgrounds will never know that in the night when the clouds cover the stars and moon in the wild, it is no longer the lights of the castle and the street lamps in the town that provide them with a light source.
"Only this kind of sunflower that loses its light when it leaves the soil!"
"Poof!"
Wang Yonghao pulled out the sunflower behind him with all his might, and silently recited the spell to urge all the attributes of the Hermes Boots and the agility clasp!
Immediately, he rushed towards another sunflower five hundred yards away with a speed far exceeding that of the war horse!
The moment the brightness was lost, Shulhe almost instantly slashed a sword towards Wang Yonghao's original location!
A gust of wind slashed through the air and began to give orders at the same time!
"Limited vision, defend in array!"
"Limited vision, array, array!"
"Limited vision, rocket ready!"
And in less than three seconds, a black shadow rushed to the sunflower five hundred yards away!
With the "Poof! With a bang, the only remaining sunflower within a few thousand yards also stopped supplying brightness!
There was absolute darkness all around! There is nothing left but the throat of the monster!
The knights are even more chaotic!
The horses neighed because they couldn't adapt to the darkness, and the knights were confused because they were afraid of the monsters......
A calm voice came from afar in the darkness: "Let's talk!" Knights? ”
Wang Yonghao didn't want to do anything with them, so he destroyed their vision at the first time!
Just as he had tried to avoid fighting ever since he had come to this world of Terraria's height.
Although he could leave and barely run back to the Lookout Lodge alone, it was not worth giving up half of the commission that Schulch didn't get.
What's more, although Schulch is arrogant, he is good at one thing! The monsters that came out of the ground in this dark night really can't completely wipe out this group of knights!
As long as you hold on until dawn, the monster retreats, and as long as there is a knight alive, Wang Yonghao doesn't have to mix in this land!
This can't happen until he figures out how to get back to Earth or has the power to ignore the other side, so he still has to negotiate.
"What rebels do you want to talk about!" In the panicked ranks of knights, there was a voice from Shulkh pretending to be firm!
"I swear to the Goddess of the Forest by my real name that I have no intention of harming anyone, I just love collecting meteorites!
Maybe as a guide, my name can't enter the ears of the knights of the provincial city! But the name of the star picker, I'm sure you've heard of it! ”
