Chapter Seventy-Five: The Base Camp

"Regardless of the previous grievances, now we have a common enemy" Ma Le said to Xia Yingying: "We need your strength now, as long as we can defeat the Dragon Horn Team this time, you will not only get revenge, but I will no longer pursue the previous matter, not only that, I will also help you get rid of Chen Mingfeng's entanglement, how about it?" ”

"Deal!" Xia Yingying smiled, and the charm technique was used inadvertently, which made Shangguan Yunhong on the side feel confused, but for the current Ma Le, this means is no longer enough.

"Good!" Ma Le looked at the time: "I still have a few hours of cooldown time for my long-distance shoes, you go back to the base camp first, we still have a lot of things to prepare, and these eight days can't be wasted!" ”

"What about you, big brother?" Shangguan Yunhong asked.

Ma Le smiled, stretched his waist and said, "There seems to be an ancient wilderness not far from here, go to the event!" ”

Persian Cat, Shangguan, and Xia Yingying used the teleportation scroll and returned to the base camp, while Ma Le began to walk north.

The base camp can be said to be the last reliance of the forces of the two sides of the Guard Disaster, and the base camps of both sides are built on high cliffs, with only three military routes connecting to the outside world. The entrances to these three military paths are guarded by huge highland fortresses, and behind the highland fortresses are two powerful magic towers, these two towers have no attack ability, but they play a vital role in the battle. Whether it is a guard or a natural disaster, they all rely on the continuous natural magic of the world of ruins to survive, and these two magic towers are devices developed from the powerful magic contained in the underground, which nourishes this leyline, the soldiers on a military path, and makes them extremely strong. And this is also the reason why the soldiers of the Ruins Defense War World are so powerful.

There are three paths, which means that each side of the Guard Scourge has six towers of magical energy. In order to defeat each other, an important strategic goal of the two sides is to destroy the Tower of Magical Energy and seize the Spirit Gathering Crystal used to store magic power inside. However, even if the two Outer Tower Fortresses were breached, only the Highland Fortresses would be exposed to the protective shield, and the two towers of magical energy would still be protected and could not be approached at all. So to destroy the Tower of Magical Energy, you must first destroy the Highland Fortress!

Once the spirit crystal is lost, the soldiers on this path will not be nourished by magic power, and will slowly weaken, and finally their physique will become similar to that of humans in reality, which is already an extremely weak state for those super strong soldiers in the ruins defense battle.

Of course, this debilitating effect is not immediate, the perennial magic nourishment, so that the soldiers' physique has undergone a fundamental change, even if it is weakened, it is slowly weakened in the process of inheritance and continuation of life from generation to generation, this process is often tens of hundreds of years, and the adventurer has not felt the effect at all in the past few months.

But capturing the Spirit Crystal doesn't just weaken the enemy!

The spirit crystal is very cherished, not only the raw materials are rare, but also the refining process is very difficult, the crystal was made by the ancient civilization, even with their excellent technology, there are only twelve pieces in total, each group of four, corresponding to three magic leylines, that is, the way of soldiers, can not be converted at will.

According to legend, if you put the four spirit crystals of the same group together and act on the corresponding military path, then the warriors of this military path can be instantly strengthened and their strength increased exponentially! Not only that, it is said that if the twelve crystals are put together at the same time, the powerful magic power gathered can even distort time and space, open the door to the other world, and summon an army of monsters that do not exist in this world!

If in peacetime, such an uncontrollable army would definitely be a scourge, but once there is a war, as long as you have all the spirit gathering crystals and place them at the junction of the leylines according to the ancient method, you can summon an army of monsters to drive out any enemy!

However, after the invasion of the natural disaster, a large area of land in the north of the continent was seized in a short period of time, and even the six spirit crystals placed on the northern plateau were also taken away to nourish the natural disaster soldiers. And now, the Scourge and the Guard, each with six crystals, are trying to seize the crystals and destroy the enemy in one fell swoop.

Therefore, it can be said that the Highland Fortress and the two magic energy towers are the last war facilities of a military route, once these two things are destroyed, it represents the fall of the entire military route, and it is difficult to push back it.

Behind the Tower of Magic Energy is the vast inner city of the Scourge base camp, where a large number of soldiers patrol and a large number of military facilities, but on the whole, it is still a bustling city. The inhabitants of the base camp are almost all nobles, who live in sturdy and ornate houses and enjoy the peace and security that is rare in this world of war. They are more interested in the opulent entertainment venues in the city than in the war to the death. The restaurants here have delicacies from all over the continent, and the markets here display rare objects that cannot be found anywhere else, making it a paradise to see. Of course, if you have to find a downside, it is that the air quality here is really poor. As the epicenter of the natural disaster, the rancid smell here is stronger than the control area outside, and even adventurers will inevitably retch twice when they come here for the first time.

Of course, after two months of natural disasters, the current Persian cats, Shangguan and Xia Yingying are already frequent visitors here, and they only frown slightly at this pungent rancid smell, and then they get used to it.

Although it is a natural disaster, adventurers are still human beings by nature, and they have little interest in the "delicious" and "entertainment programs" that attract orcs, trolls, and even undead skeletons, and the first thing they do when they come here is that the three of them go to the noisy bazaar first.

The base camp occupies a vast area, even if it is only the inner city, the area is worth dozens of fortresses, and the bustle of the market here is far from being comparable to the accessories of those fortresses on the military road.

Unlike the chaotic stalls of the Fortress Bazaar, almost every commercial area here is filled with large-scale shops, weapons, armor, materials, food, and magic items...... Most of the stores only specialize in one or two, and the quality and quantity of the goods are not comparable to the outside, and there are some high-end goods that make adventurers very jealous, and of course, the prices are very exaggerated.

Faced with these dazzling array of goods, the adventurers who were exploited by the system at a tenfold rate could only tighten their belts and carefully count the gold coins in their pockets, striving to buy the most effective items with the least investment.

The same is true for Xia Yingying, although she used a special method to change her appearance before, but in this world where there are many masters and enemies, she pursues low-keyism, so although her strength is good, she does not have a lot of money, even if she sells the corpses of the thunder lizards she got this time, she only has more than four hundred gold coins in her hand. This amount of money can be said to be a huge amount of money in the eyes of ordinary adventurers, but compared to other senior first-class masters of Xia Yingying's level, this is a bit shabby. She knew for herself that not long ago, Kane spent a lot of money and bought a javelin with an extra damage effect from the market in the Guards base camp, presumably with the intention of using (harmony) refining materials to make a zuò skull crushing hammer. Although the blood-stained blade captain was robbed of the limelight by Kukulkan and Ma Le this time, the background and bearing of a strong man on one side are not comparable to ordinary people, hidden under the brilliance of the two super powerhouses, this golden man is also accumulating strength.

Xia Yingying counted the gold coins in her hand, thinking about whether to buy some consumables for emergencies first, or save them for next time to directly get a powerful magic prop to prepare for the final battle.

At this moment, she heard a smiling voice in a store behind her: "This young lady is really a good eye, our invigorating gem is the best, first-class color, whether it is worn on the body or smelted into the weapon, it can greatly increase the speed, it can be said to be a home trip, murder and arson, a must-have good product......"

Xia Yingying was shocked when she heard this, and said in her heart that this exciting gem is a rare thing, one usually has to be 156 to make a base, and the good condition can even be sold for more than 2,000, who is so rich?

But then, a familiar and crisp voice came: "What price do you have?" ”

It seems to be...... Xia Yingying turned her head and walked to the door of the store, and found that the person who asked the price was the girl who was with Ma Le, and the young man named Shangguan was at the counter next to her, staring at a crystal sword placed inside.

What are these two little kids doing, they haven't seen the world? Xia Yingying wanted to come in and pull the two of them away, but as soon as she stepped into the threshold, the boss had already quoted the price: "My piece is a treasure, and I won't sell it for less than three thousand eight!" ”

Hearing this price, Xia Yingying almost fell, this boss is too black-hearted! She hurried to the Persian cat in two steps, but when she saw the color of the inspiring jewel, her eyes lit up.

Worthy of the central business district of the base camp, this thing is different, the purple gemstone exudes a dazzling brilliance, more than double the size of the ordinary uplifting gem, and the pure gold inlaid on it also outlines a beautiful magic pattern, so that people can feel the surging magic contained in it with only their eyes.

"It's a good thing, but it's also a little too expensive!" Without waiting for Xia Yingying to speak, the Persian cat had already begun to bargain: "I saw a similar one over there, and they only sold it for two thousand three!" ”

"Impossible!" The boss was an undead clan, his eyes were wide, and his eyeballs rolled out of his sockets, he hurriedly caught it with his hand, and said as he stuffed it back: "My gem was received from the black market merchant Ray Lagoth, and mine is the best in the whole market!" ”

Ray Lagos? Hearing this, the eyes of the three of them lit up, and Shangguan Yunhong no longer looked at the crystal sword, and came over upside down.

"Boss, do you know the whereabouts of Relagus?"
