Chapter 37: Footprints
After a morning of rest, little Emma had a fever. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info team embarked on the trip again, but Rodin was faintly uneasy in his heart, Elden City is really everyone's destination?
Before nightfall, the team reached the entrance of the wasteland.
Set up camp and rest for the night.
The next morning, three days after their departure from Hidden Town, the group set out on a journey into the wasteland.
The wind of the rough wasteland swept by, and it was desolate as far as the eye could see, with yellow sand everywhere, the ground was parched, and the green vegetation seemed to be extinct, except for a stunted crooked neck tree and a few dry puddles every now and then. The air around them became cold and dry.
No matter what happened to the outside world, Rodin still practiced at night and studied notes during the day.
After turning over the cultivation level of the "Dragon Yuan" cultivation layer over and over again, a trace of enlightenment gradually accumulated in his heart, and he became more and more enlightened about the path of cultivation, and deep in his heart he extremely enjoyed the process of such steady progress.
Tired of studying the cultivation method, he dug out another notebook left by Leviathan, the Monster Notes
At the beginning of the note, it is stated that this notebook is the result of Leviathan's painstaking efforts to spend more than 40 years traversing the three major empires of the Central Continent, the fifteen principalities, and countless dangerous forbidden places.
A whole book, two fingers thick, 200 pages are all written on parchment, with a cold and tough texture to the touch, and the appearance is a grade higher than that of "Long Yuan". I opened it with inexplicable excitement, and after careful inspection, I was fascinated unconsciously.
Monster Data Encyclopedia,As the name suggests,A total of 138 kinds of monsters are recorded,Common,Rare,As small as the demonized insects that are difficult to find with the naked eye,Large to the giant monsters that cover the sky,Most of them have extremely detailed descriptions,Illustrations of appearance、Cruel character、Neutral、Or kindness,Life habits,Even abilities and weaknesses are clearly documented,Leviathan is based on its own insight,The strength of the monsters in the notes is divided。
It's like a food chain.
At the bottom are non-advanced monsters, including water ghosts, flower spirits, etc., which are enough for ordinary people with weapons to deal with.
The next one-star monsters, griffins, fog demons, ghouls, and evil ghosts、、、、 correspond to a newborn Black Iron Force.
Then there are the two-star monsters, such as the Forest Spirit, the Night Demon, the Fenter Monster, etc., whose strength is slightly stronger than the bronze power among the humans.
After browsing it, the importance of this book in Rodin's heart has risen a notch, if you memorize the information in the book, you can make a plan and then act in the face of most monsters, and the odds of winning are greatly improved.
The griffins, fog demons, water ghosts, ghouls, and quirks that Rodin had seen before, were all recorded, and he didn't know what their weaknesses were until this moment, and he watched them with relish.
Strange monsters, unheard of, endless, such as the forest spirits who can control the vegetation of the forest and are huge,
The cunning and sharp-mouthed night wolf, the ever-changing shapeshifter, the petrified snake lizard, the Nieman wind snake, the empty wing, the giant, the wurm, all of them, it was an eye-opener for Rodin.
Eighty percent of the monsters in the notes are well recorded, but there are still more than twenty kinds of monsters that are only described in a few words, and there is a vague introduction on the appearance illustration, Leviathan unabashedly explained in the notes, usually such monsters are extremely powerful, he can only observe such monsters from a distance, and he does not dare to study them closely, or some are simply deduced from the words of others and scattered clues.
Pterodactyl, the Demon of Arrogance, the Demon of Despair, the Pioneer of the Spirit Realm, the Shadow Python, the Ash Giant、、、、、
According to Leviathan, pinching him to death is as easy as pinching an ant.
This world is indeed much bigger and more dangerous than he imagined.
In the course of studying and practicing, time passed more fully than ever before, and passed silently.
Before you know it, the team has been running in the wasteland for three days, during which time it has not been attacked by wild beasts, and the weather similar to a storm has not been bumped again, and the road has been peaceful.
Most of the food had been consumed, but the party was not far from its destination, and it would be two days before they reached Eldon.
Everyone knew in their hearts that this short journey was coming to an end, and what fate awaited them?
A sense of uneasiness and restlessness crept through the crowd.
At one moment, Rodin was holding his notes with his head down, and there was a sudden "moo" call in front of him.
"Is there a situation?" Rodin quickly ran to the front of the team, and the dozen or so cattle in his sight kept calling as if they were frightened, their bodies trembled slightly, and they couldn't stop moving backwards, if it weren't for the eight team members holding them back, I'm afraid they would have run away.
"Guys, we seem to have a big deal in the mix. “
Rodin crossed the crowd, a wave of turmoil swelled in his heart, and as far as the eye could see, a row of huge footprints appeared clearly about ten meters in front of the group, and the footprints were connected in a row, just perpendicular to the direction in which they were heading.
Leaning over and squatting down, this series of footprints is about twenty centimeters deep and huge, almost enough for an adult to lie flat in it. It's hard to imagine how big the footprint owner must be.
Rodin turned to Zola, who was leading the way, to get an answer from her.
Zola walked up to the crowd without changing his color, and said with a nonchalant smile: "Don't worry, my husband and I have also encountered such footprints in the past few years, but in fact, it just looks bluffing and has no practical significance." Am I not standing before you safe and sound?"
"Is that so, Zola, don't hide anything, there are more than a hundred lives following you here, please tell us if there is any danger, so we can prepare in advance. “
The faces of the people were suspicious, and just a few words could not dispel their fear of this huge footprint.
"It's true, I've met El Runner no less than ten times over the years. At first, I was also panicked, but later I found that except for this pile of footprints, I couldn't even see a ghost. Listen to me, and leave it alone. “
Seeing that Zola still looked determined and determined, everyone's restless hearts calmed down a lot.
Now they are all grasshoppers on a rope, and if there is danger, Zola will not be able to escape.
In the end, Rodin closed the coffin and concluded: "Zola has been going back and forth from the south to the north for so many years, she must have her reasons, and she can't lie to us." ”
"Alright, let's leave this footprint alone and keep going. “
The team members shouted a few words, and the townspeople returned to their respective positions and continued to move forward in an orderly manner.
Rodin suppressed his anxiety for the time being, and looked towards the end of the row of footprints, there was nothing, if there was really such a huge monster, the ground could be felt within hundreds of meters, it was equivalent to a remote alarm, and it was another matter if there was no escape.
