Chapter Forty-Seven: The Sinking Demon
After dealing with the bristled rats, the path to the abandoned camp no longer appears to be in any way. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Fang Jin, who already had a certain understanding of the difficulty of this "dungeon", was not in a hurry to go over immediately. Stay under a withered tree that barely shelters from the rain, and wait for the mana consumed in the previous battle to almost regain before setting off again.
After more than 100 steps, the situation in the camp was clearly visible.
Its size was not large, and after a rough assessment, it was at least one-third smaller than Fang Jin's outpost camp 67. The architectural style is close to the Middle Ages, and the houses are generally low and made of gray stone blocks. Probably abandoned for some years, they looked very dilapidated in the fine black rain, as if they could be blown down by a strong wind.
No matter how you look at it, such an abandoned camp should be deserted.
But that's not the case.
In the ruins of a half-collapsed house not far from the entrance to the abandoned camp, a faint smoke came out, and it seemed that the owner was cooking something inside. Even though the rising smoke quickly disappeared into the cold raindrops, it still caught Fang Jin's attention for the first time.
"Anyone?"
He was a little suspicious in his heart, thought about it, and leaned over quietly.
The moment one foot stepped into the abandoned camp, Fang Jin felt that he had stepped on something. With a click, an inconspicuous trap for catching prey is triggered.
Not far away, the tattered metal objects tied with threads rattled loudly, and came far away in the rain.
This rudimentary trap, with no magic skills or skill judgments, could hardly do any damage to him. But because of this, Fang Jin didn't notice it!
"Lacanihu!"
Startled by the noise, a jumble of voices came from inside the abandoned camp.
Soon, at least a dozen monsters, with such shouts, rushed out in the rain.
They were fifteen or sixteen-year-olds, red-skinned, wielding a broken double-edged axe or wooden club in one hand and a mottled shield in the other. The moment he saw Fang Jin, he was like a wild wolf who was extremely hungry, and his eyes showed a greedy and excited light.
Sinking Demon!
Fang Jin's face suddenly turned white.
Each of these Sinking Demons has a yellow challenge level compared to him now. A dozen of them swarmed up, and it was not something he could cope with at all.
What's more, these monsters are wise and know how to set traps!
This is what Fang Jin is most frightening.
There was no way, the strength was not enough to see, and he could only flee with the star again. Only this time he did not flee to the outside of the abandoned camp, but instead of retreating, he ran straight in the direction where the smoke was earlier.
The loss of human traces made these sinking demons puzzled, and they snorted around to find it for a while.
They didn't return immediately, giving Fang Jin a chance.
Stepping on the black muddy earth, bypassing several low, flat-topped stone houses, and jumping over a collapsed stone slab engraved with a vague flame totem, Fang Jin came to his destination.
That half-collapsed stone house!
Although the invisibility time has ended, the previous noise has lured all the Fallen Demons away. Fang Jin walked in smoothly, and then among the rotten garbage and leftover bone fragments everywhere, he saw the person who made the cooking smoke.
To be precise, that "man" is also a sinking demon.
The difference is that it has a faint black aura lingering on it. The weapon he held was not a double-edged axe or a round shield, but a staff of beast bones carved with a strange demon motif. Before Fang Jin approached, it was dancing around a cauldron hanging from the campfire. In the boiling pot were several crusty mice that had not even shed their fur.
Looks like it's their disgusting dinner.
For LV2 candidates, the solo challenge is the Red High Danger, the leader of the Fallen Demons - the Fallen Demon Wizard!
If you put the previous group of Sinking Demons and this Sinking Demon Wizard together, the challenge level of the entire tribe will be purple!
It's the same as the terrible golden eagle next to the waterhole!
"Humans?"
Sensing the abnormal aura, the Sinking Demon Wizard stopped dancing, stared at Fang Jin for a second, and let out the same strange cry of "Lacanixiu".
The sound was so loud that even the Fallen Demon at the entrance to the abandoned camp could hear it.
It's beckoning!
Fang Jin, who realized this, immediately had a retreat in his heart.
Of course, he knew that this extremely intelligent Sinking Demon Wizard would most likely be able to drop good things after being killed. But the premise is that he must at least have a level of strength comparable to Lei Bing!
The next moment, the Fallen Demon Wizard taught him to be a man with a large whistling fireball.
The blazing fireball caused an astonishing explosion damage, while the flames that escaped also attached to him, causing continuous burn damage. Even with the magic resistance and Azure Band's damage reduction, the actual damage is still surprisingly high.
Fang Jin, who hated his lack of strength, could only reluctantly turn around and flee.
The copy inside this altar is too much beyond his ability!
Fortunately, only six or seven seconds later, the star retreat was completed. Before the first returning Spinner approached, his form disappeared into thin air again.
To be honest, Fang Jin's heart was a little reluctant to leave like this. Killing the bristled rat before will drop two mana coins. These red-skinned Sinking Demons in front of them don't know how high their posture level is higher than the former, and most of them may drop equipment or treasures.
Is there nothing there can do about them?
Try to find the lonely Sinking Demon and break it separately, maybe it will work. But in a short time, it will definitely be impossible, and the Sinking Demons will have to eat around the boiling pot......
So, go search for other places first, wait a few hours and come back.
Looking at the countdown in the field of vision, Fang Jin wrote down this idea first, and continued to search the abandoned camp while the Sinking Demon had no time to take care of anything else.
In the next half hour, although there was no actual gain, a lot of valuable information was discovered.
For example, this human camp in ruins, occupied by the Demons of the Sunken, should have had its own unique culture. The discovery of every corner can find traces that are different from the earth's civilization. Fang Jin even found a missing parchment scroll in one of the houses, which had something written on it in the same words as on the Mana Gold Coins. It's a pity that the parchment has long since decayed, and he only turned it into ashes after a slight flip.
Another point is that the human beings who originally lived here should have encountered some sudden disaster or change and left in a hurry.
The clearest evidence is that they took only portable and valuables.
This made Fang Jin a little disappointed.
But fortunately, since it is in a hurry, there will always be omissions of one kind or another. After searching half an alley away from the Sinking Demon, he found a nondescript closet in a large, well-kept room.
The closet was locked, but unfortunately the iron lock was already rusty and opened with a slight twist.
Inside is a delicate jade box the size of a palm.
