Chapter 15: The Desert Advances, and the Strong Are King

Zhu Peng is in the Faeron Continent, and he also has to do a task, killing people to support himself, and quickly strengthening his strength, if he is only level 15 of the Blood Devouring Priest and level 5 of the Blood Blade Hunter, he will not have the ability to kill the dragon, or even the advanced Dragon Vein Warlock.

Now that Morpheus has given a big deal with low investment, high returns, and perfect intelligence, it is estimated that it is almost feasible, and of course there is no reason not to do it.

The next day, Zhu Peng took Amiya and her sister Rosa to the Adventurer's Guild to resettle, although it is far less comfortable than the private room in the tavern, but because the legendary powerhouse is in charge, the safety factor is still very high, and Zhu Peng also took out a metal structure from the space bag, which is the legacy left by the witch Alia, and Amiya can control it through the blood of her ancestors and the power of relics, which is an additional external equipment.

"Brother, please be careful, I will study hard. Hugging and kissing little Rosa, and saying goodbye to Amiya**, the red-haired girl's hot response almost melted Zhu Peng.

"Study the power of your bloodline carefully, purified bloodline can make your strength increase rapidly, and then maybe you can follow me on an adventure. A little trick on Emiya, and then Zhu Peng left with the magic bow thunder and two bags of arrows.

When he came to the east gate of Jinhe City, in the shade of a large tree, four team members were already waiting for him.

Morpheus's second-order Phantom Dancing Lady profession should also be a part-time wizard profession, on the one hand, it will promote the potential of the descending body to the extreme, and on the other hand, it will also play its own wizard duty, and the strength should be quite not weak under the combination of professional ability. However, in this way, it is difficult to improve the professional level and personal attributes, of course, the assassin profession mainly improves the strength, sensitivity and even perception attributes, while the wizard mainly improves intelligence, and the more you usually exercise in any aspect, the easier it is to get the promotion bonus in which aspect when the career is promoted, and not all of them are converted into attribute points for you to allocate freely.

It is no wonder that she is so eager to obtain divinity, which can be described as a treasure to improve the value of personal attributes and even qualifications, and it is even more important for a double part-time worker like Morpheus.

In addition to Morpheus, there were three people standing under the shade of the tree, one was a warrior monk chanting scriptures, one was a swordsman playing the piccolo, and the last one was actually a spellcaster...... Warlock!?

"You're the fifth teammate Aya found for us? Before Zhu Peng could get closer, a void voice floated over, the warrior monk stood with his hands together, the swordsman was still playing the piccolo, and the gray-robed warlock did not speak.

The next moment, the legendary warrior monk appeared behind Zhu Peng in an instant, and slammed his leg with a blow, fast, ruthless, mysterious and tiger-like!

A crimson faint electric current spread around Zhu Peng's body, and his dual attributes of force sensitivity were greatly improved at the same time, forcibly narrowing the gap in strength between the two sides, and the two sharp sword qi like fangs swirled around the dark fire stabbed into the warrior monk's thigh from the sleeves of his leather robe.

This legendary warrior monk's vajra body has already achieved quite a lot, if it is an ordinary weapon, he is not afraid of hard knocks at all, but the arrogance spread out by the dark fire fangs in Zhu Peng's sleeves made the warrior monk with extremely high spiritual cultivation frown slightly, and forcibly cut off the move and retreated halfway, but he didn't make a move after one move.

And at the moment when Zhu Peng just forced the warrior monk back, the swordsman who had been playing the piccolo didn't know when to draw his sword and slash forward, and the whole person was accompanied by a whirlwind-like sword momentum shrouded Zhu Peng's vital body, the knife was fast, the body was fast, and the awareness of capturing the fighter was also accurate.

At the same time, the warlock who was still standing under the tree raised the scepter in his hand, and the gravity around Zhu Peng's body suddenly surged, and it was impossible to avoid the sword light of the Wind Swordsman with his agility.

This kind of cooperation is no longer unskilled for the three people who have just formed a team, but the warlock never expected that Zhu Peng followed his gravity technique body and lay backwards with a thud, his body formed a circle with the trend, and suddenly turned backwards in the sand.

This tumbling retreat was as fast as lightning as a golden rat boiling oil pot, and the flying sand that was violently raised also made the wind knife unable to retract the knife and block, and hit left and right.

After avoiding the most sinister situation in an instant with the reverse turning method, when the effectiveness of the gravity technique on his body decreased slightly, Zhu Peng suddenly rushed forward against the trend.

"Roar!!"

He suddenly lifted a breath and rushed straight to his throat from the dantian, looking up to the sky and roaring like an ape, bursting out of physical energy and shifting the center of gravity of his body left and right, stuck in the opponent's perspective and dead corner, and the dark fire fangs dozens of swords rushed forward and stabbed fiercely, the sword was as fierce as thunder, dozens of swords in a row, forcing the swordsman who held the knife in both hands to retreat dozens of steps, the wind kendo has always been accustomed to quick attacks, and the killing is strong, but once the opponent has the advantage of taking the lead, the defensive counterattack is slightly difficult.

Leaping back and closing the distance, the Wind Blader was about to regroup, only to receive a stop from a branch behind him from Morpheus.

"Okay, this friend of mine is a priest, Sakura Fury, are you going to let him waste all his magic here?" Hearing Morpheus's words, Sakura, a swordsman in the image of a ronin samurai, also had to exhale and put away his sword, but he was obviously a little embarrassed.

"As a pastor, Mr. Sodo is good enough. I have no objection to his joining. The unknown voice just now sounded again, only this time Zhu Peng moved his gaze to the warrior monk behind him.

"Ventriloquism? ”

β€œ...... It's not a good skill, but when the practice was insufficient, someone cut off his tongue, and he had to practice this thaumaturgy, and Mr. smiled. As he spoke, the warrior monk bowed his head with his hands together, quite stylish.

"As a priest, it is very good to be able to block the three of us from joining forces, and I have no objection to you joining in and sharing a share. The lazy warlock leaning against the trunk of the tree said this, the warrior monk and the warlock had already spoken, and no matter how angry Sakura was angry, he had nothing to say, so he could only put the long knife back into the scabbard and acquiesce in Zhu Peng's qualifications to join the team.

In fact, Morpheus still lied to Zhu Peng, the warrior monk Arthur and the swordsman Sakura are all legendary professionals, but the warlock Yorkoff is only a second-order peak, but he is a desert sand scorpion hybrid, he can fight and carry in the desert environment, and has many auxiliary abilities, so it is not too much to count him as a legendary professional.

Wizards, priests, these two spellcaster professions join the adventurer team is rare, they have too many ways to make money, unless they have personal interests, otherwise they will join the adventurer team pitifully, and join only those top adventurer teams.

In contrast, there are more warlocks who inherit the ancient blood of their ancestors and join various adventurer squads.

........................

A group of five people, but with ten camels, of course Zhu Peng would not tell anyone that the space bag under his leather robe was full of all kinds of supply equipment, on the contrary, he prepared the most supplies on his camels, and such a cautious attitude even made the other people waiting a little impatient.

Today's desert is full of dangers, frequent sandstorms, wolves in the wilderness, and the bones of the dead thousands of years ago who have risen again and brandished their swords at the living.

Alienated giant vultures hovered in the sky, and some of their leaders even possessed spell-casting abilities, not just scavenging, but also greedy creatures who they felt they could defeat.

This great desert may not have been as lively as it is for many years, even if it is full of danger everywhere, but groups of adventurers do not hesitate to break into it, they kill all the existence related to the desert god of death Anu, when the consumption of divine power is greater than the divine power obtained, Anu who is already a stick to the book will of course not be able to sit still or even collapse.

This is a game between gods and living beings, this is a declaration of war against death, every day there are a large number of elite adventurers with the bounty of the adventurer's guild, rushing into the desert, among which even the most elite temple raiders have begun to storm the temple of death.

It's just that the existence of the core temple is almost equivalent to a high-level wizard tower, not to mention that there is an ancient god in charge, even if it can be stormed, it is impossible not to pay a sufficient price, and Morpheus has top-secret information, she actually knows a side hall tunnel that leads directly to the Temple of Death.

Of course, at the beginning, she didn't say that her purpose was to go directly to the God Slayer, Morpheus just said that when the ancient god Anu and the temple alliance were just face-to-face, they could find a gap to scavenge some gold artifacts and heavy treasures, and there was a mountain of gold reserves inside the Temple of Death, which naturally went without saying, the national god, the treatment was naturally not low, and there were countless gems and enchanted equipment that were easy to carry, which was the real goal of the adventure team.

However, what is really tempting is the hidden artifact, if it is found, for adventurers, it will not be worried in this life, even for Zhu Peng, Morpheus and others, it is directly less than twenty years of struggle.

"If it weren't for the fact that the cost of the bloodline purification ceremony was too high, I wouldn't have come out to take this risk, it's just that the family has reached my generation, and there are more and more ordinary people, if I don't come out to fight for it, I'm afraid the glory of my ancestors will be cut off in my generation. As he spoke, he raised his head and drank his wine, compared to the old spicy warrior Arthur and the swordsman Sakura, Yorkef was just a teenager.

As the successor of the sand scorpion blood, he actually doesn't like life in the desert, Zhu Peng can hear his yearning for the outside world, the mountains, and the sea in York's words, but he is bound by the family's mission, and he can't really let go and pursue everything he wants.

"By the way, did you sleep with Ayana's?" When Yorkoff said this, although he tried his best to suppress himself to appear calmer, Zhu Peng could still detect something strange in his arm that subconsciously clenched the reins and his slightly stiff face...... Some young boys are always nostalgic for their first woman.

"Nope. Zhu Peng's decisive answer made Yorkeff's whole person calm down.

Zhu Peng felt a little pity for him in his heart, Morpheus belongs to the kind of slut who can meet her man for seven or eight days when you go out to buy a pack of cigarettes, as a witch, she is very open in this regard, and she comes to another world to act as an advent body, so she is even more unscrupulous, as long as the interests are enough, she really doesn't mind whether it is a person or a few people who accompany her to bed.

Having a crush on such a dissolute guy will lead to nothing but injury.

Yorkoff was not poisoned, or had been poisoned without knowing it, he only participated in this adventure out of an obsessive love for Morpheus, and a thirst for wealth, the standard was very good, especially in the desert with environmental bonuses, but his mind was still a little immature, a rather talented teenager.

As for the warrior monk Arthur and the swordsman Sakura Fu, I am afraid that they have been entangled with Morpheus several times, Zhu Peng suspects that the adulterer that Mephes really created is the seemingly loyal Arthur, because Sakura Fu's performance is somewhat impetuous, he may be the only person in the team who is coerced by the poison, and is followed by such an explosive swordsman, if there is no one around him who can protect himself, Zhu Peng believes that the guy Morpheus will not be able to sleep at all, and the legendary warrior monk's physique, martial arts and reaction speed are undoubtedly excellent meat shields.

A small team of adventurers, who were deliberately made complicated by Morpheus, may have a preference for this and like this feeling of playing with people's hearts, but Zhu Peng hates it, Zhu Peng has always formed a team The purer the relationship, the better, either a pure interest relationship, or an absolute obedience relationship like Emiya and Rosa.

There are a few people of the opposite sex in a team who like themselves, and Zhu Peng consciously suppresses it, which doesn't matter, but on the contrary, the female leader of the team and several of his male subordinates are ambiguous, and one of them is the fuse that ignites the explosive barrel.

It's just that it is Morpheus who owns this adventurous team, and Zhu Peng has no room for beaking, people can pull up a legendary team for themselves to drive and control in less than a year, Zhu Peng has been running around the world with two oil bottles in a year, but he is not qualified to say that he is better than others.

As you move forward, you will encounter undead troops and huge vulture groups from time to time, but this team is full of elites, two legends, two spy shadows, plus a bloodline warlock who takes the desert world as the main field, although the number of adventure teams is small, it can be called an elite anomaly.

Yorkoff retreated to the center of the team to exert a range of gravity space, flew to a certain range of vulture swarms and smashed down, quickly became the ghosts of Arthur and Sakura's men, and among the jackals that pounced on all sides, there were many zombie jackals, only three legs and even half of the head were still fiercely biting forward, regardless of the lethal combat power for the time being, just that terrifying and vicious momentum was indeed extremely terrifying.

In the night and moonlight, only half of the head of the jackal is left and pounces on you, ordinary people will be directly frightened, and the warriors who are not brave enough will also have a sharp drop in combat power, there is an aura of fear entrenched in this jackal team, but in the team on Zhu Peng's side, everyone has successfully passed the will test, and they are not affected at all.

"Jiuyang Gong!"

With a roar of rage, the muscles around the legendary warrior monk Arthur swelled and their muscles bloomed, and as his hands pushed forward, a surging wave of heat accompanied by a visible red fire bombarded the densest part of the jackal pack. The two swift shadows swooped over like lightning, but it was Zhu Peng and Morpheus, who were the Phantom Dancer, and the two of them pounced at the same time towards the strange jackal that had just been cleared by the big move.

It is surrounded by an evil aura, and at the same time has the effect of undead revival and fear aura, and its intelligence is obviously higher than that of the jackals around it controlled by animal nature.

Morpheus itself is an agile phantom dancing queen profession, and the spell position that she solidified as a part-time wizard is actually a bunch of flickering, and her flexible body is as flexible as a snake with the ability to flicker at short distances, it is really like a ghost fluttering, and the weapon she uses at this time is a small and sharp scimitar, which is composed of a special mechanism, which can be held with both hands, and spliced together to form a scimitar that looks like a full moon.

As soon as she threw her hand, it flew around her like an imperial sword and slashed around her, even if it was accidentally lost or slashed into a crack in the bone, Morpheus could retrieve it in an instant with the hand of a mage.

In contrast, Zhu Peng's breakthrough is simple, brutal and much faster, with the increase of the professional level, the shorter the interval between the low-level magic Zhu Peng's casting, from time to time there will be jackals around each other suddenly biting each other, leaving a gap for Zhu Peng to pass through in an instant, and in the end, he jumped up and attacked the jackal leader with the dark fire fangs in his hand.

And Morpheus's movements also followed, and even her figure flashed in an instant, and suddenly appeared behind the leader of the jackals, crossing her swords and holding them together, slashing down.

There is nothing to say about the killing process, a commanding jackal leader was close to Zhu Peng and Morpheus, even if he had some life-saving ability, his head was quickly cut off, and the jackal pack that lost the leader's command quickly wailed and retreated, but they would not be without food, and those dead, wounded, and even weak jackals would be eaten by stronger companions.

As the wolves retreated, the vultures hovering in the sky quickly flew high, and they were always victors, because adventurers could never collect the corpses of the wolves that were all over the ground.

"Fortunately, there were five camels equipped with iron armor, and with them on the outermost side, we had no major losses. "If the wolves are repelled and the camels are dead, then this operation will still fail, and even the legendary professional will not be able to travel in the desert without supplies for a long time, even Arthur, the legendary warrior monk who is the best at this aspect of the five.

The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is very large, especially after Anu's recovery, this upper and lower limit reaches an exaggerated level, the temperature can almost reach fifty or sixty degrees during the day, and the night drops to below zero, after passing through the flesh and blood battlefield just created, the five people also immediately choose to camp, this mission is not a short time to solve, and it is also a must to maintain their own state during the march.

........................

Zhu Peng and the wind swordsman Sakura Nu have a tent, the warrior monk Arthur and Yorkef have a tent, and Morpheus has a tent of his own, once attacked, the attack on the strong Sakura can create more assassination opportunities for Zhu Peng, and the warrior monk Arthur can better protect Yorkfu, as for Morpheus, after all, she is a woman, even if she has some private space of her own in the adventure, it is normal.

The vigil was kept on shift, and even Yorkfu, who was the caster, was given a time slot closer to early morning.

"Brother, how did you and that woman know Aya?"

"I have something to do with her, but it's not a messy relationship like yours, and cooperating with her is just a matter of seeking wealth and profit, and I will leave after this vote, you and her have a favor to repay the favor, and there are accounts to settle accounts, and I don't mix. Inside the cowhide tent, Sakura Nu, the Wind Swordsman, wiped his long knife with a white cloth and the ointment used to maintain the weapon. Zhu Peng folded his arms behind his head, closed his eyes and lazily explained his position.

"Yes, that's good, you're a good brother, and I hope we'll have a chance to join forces again in the future. ”

β€œ............”

When it was Zhu Peng's turn to be on duty at night, he had already recovered his energy through the technique of sleeping pill sleeping method, in the process he sensed that Sakura Nu had been out for about twenty minutes, and he looked quite tired after coming back, and when Zhu Peng kept vigil, he saw Yorkoff tiptoe into Morpheus's tent, about half an hour, almost crawling out.

(This guy is really a vegetarian and old, she thinks she's the queen of succubi...... Sakura was obviously already murderous towards her, even if that Arthur would really help her wholeheartedly?) With a flick of his right hand, a sand scorpion that had just crawled over was pierced by Zhu Peng on the short sword. He put the supper sent to the door on the fire and roasted it, and then pinched the head and tail to eat it, the taste was extremely delicious, crispy but not hard, crispy and delicious, so one night Zhu Peng skewered more than 20 scorpions to add food to himself, coated with grease and sprinkled with seasonings, and its flavor was therefore better.

The underground tunnel in Morpheus's intelligence, the entrance is at the bottom of an ancient stone temple, it seems that because of natural crustal changes, the underground of this ancient stone temple cracks out an underground passage that is very close to the Temple of Death, because it is not a normal passage, some earth and stone faults even need manpower to dig through, so even the ancient god Anu will not find this tunnel without deliberate inspection, this ancient god is now busy with the alliance with the Temple of the Gods, even if this underground tunnel is found, it will be a question whether it will consume divine power to smooth it。

It's just that this underground stone temple itself is not easy to pass, because of the remote geography, so there are relatively few adventurers to patronize, so it is full of resurrected ancient undead and alienated monsters, some half-lizard and half-basilisk guys even have spell-like abilities, and their hand-to-hand combat power is also good, almost equal to a large group of low-level warlocks, hundreds of white bone cones shoot at the same time, even legendary professionals will feel tricky.

Because the team needs more melee fighters at this time, Yorkev, who has the blood of the sand scorpion, modified the armor of the camel and turned it into a heavy shield warrior, he has obviously exercised in this area, covered in gravity, wearing heavy armor, holding a large shield, and attaching the armor of sand, the melee performance is not inferior to the third-order heavy warrior, and the legend is of course worse, but it is a comprehensive gap in quality, equipment, and combat skills.

Warrior monk Arthur and Yokoff together in the front row, this figure squatted slightly, faintly pierced is actually a horse step, the skin around the body reveals a hue like copper and iron, the fists waved like a storm blowing, a large number of undead skeletons congested in the alleyway were smashed to slag, he burst out from time to time to hit a Jiuyang Gong, the qigong bullet swept and crushed, it is indeed a god of majesty and infinite power.

Sakura Fury, the swordsman of the wind, shuttled out of the line from time to time, he turned into the sharpest knife in the team at this moment, and now he is the only one who has the strength to rush out frequently and then successfully return against the wind, if you let those ancient mummies and corpses in the rear calmly cast spells, even Arthur and Yokoff teamed up to block them for a long time, Sakura Fury's task is to rush out and kill them when they are ready to cast spells but they are not yet completed, at least to interrupt their casting.

It's just that even if it is a legendary-level wind swordsman, Sakura doesn't dare to say that he can succeed every time, at this time, Zhu Peng passed with a servitude technique, and let the little monster next to the spellcaster give his boss a stick, just such a low-level magic skill, he successfully saved the problem that the legendary swordsman could not solve, even if it was only enslaved for a second, the enslaved little monster looked confused, and the next moment he was torn apart by his boss and his companions beside him, but the spell was forcibly suspended, and the spell casting unit was even damaged by it.

Zhu Peng's basic attributes, personal expertise, and skills are very lacking so far, and he is not top-notch among second-order professionals, but his personal quality is not only in the above aspects, his grasp of the timing of spell casting, and the assistance of teammates, these comprehensive abilities are incomparable to an ordinary legendary profession.

From time to time, Zhu Peng can successfully save the scene, redeem the disadvantage, and even make the combat power of his companions skyrocket, such an amazing caster's quality is also admired by Arthur, Sakura and others.

Yorkoff didn't feel much because he had participated in too few adventures, and now Morpheus, who is now known as Aya, is not surprised, because she knows very well in her heart that with the level and quality of the Lifeless Sword King, the current level is just a small test, Zhu Peng's resume is full of words: "Battle Maniac", "Defeat the Strong with the Weak", "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and so on, belonging to the kind of person who is more dangerous, the more he rebounds and is strong, and the defeat is reversed. Of course, if his own strength is inferior to his, then he will often be wantonly flattened, and the operation of the Wusheng Sword King is extremely stable, and the evaluation of never overturning is never less.

"There are not many remaining spells, Master Jiuyang Gong clears the field, and Sakura Fury Storm Exterminates and Slashes!" As he spoke, Zhu Peng beat out all the berserk techniques that could only be used three times a day, and the legendary warrior monk Arthur and the wind swordsman Sakura Fury who had obtained a surge in their force sensitive attributes broke out at the same time, originally the leader of this team was the founder of the team, Morpheus, and the people were providing information and giving in the flesh, but with the progress of the adventure, after all, the strong man was king.

This strength is not only limited to combat strength, but also the four-dimensional attributes and skills, the professional's ability to grasp the battle situation, and whether he can look down on the battlefield from a cold and supreme perspective and make the right decision quickly is also a powerful embodiment.

This kind of strength, even more convincing than the combat power of the professional itself.

Every time Zhu Peng opened his mouth, the orders he gave were correct, he didn't listen to them once or twice, and he didn't listen to them three or four times, and when he did too many times, he naturally listened, and even gradually formed an instinct of obedience, because it was more beneficial to follow his instructions, and seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages itself was the most solid underlying instinct of human beings.

Jiuyang was shattered, the wind was killed, a large number of skeleton soldiers and corpse monsters were shattered and pushed away by the powerful shockwave of the legendary ultimate, the bloodline warlock Yorkev cast a spell, and Zhu Peng and Morpheus joined forces to rush and kill those elite monsters who took a defensive position under qigong and sword qi.

The alleyway of the underground stone temple was almost covered with rotten flesh and bones, and the crunching sound of his feet stepping on it reminded Zhu Peng of the sand scorpion he had eaten before.

"Sweep up, look for weapons, I'll be on guard, everyone recover their strength. After giving the order, Zhu Peng jumped to the top of a stone and looked down on the four fields, and at the same time, he also had some killing experience to distribute. The monsters in the underground stone temple, the soul power they provide is quite abundant.
