Chapter 188: Gage's New Outfit
As Jefferson's voice fell, this year's freshman competition officially began. Huoran? Wen??? .?r a?n?en`org
Each team stood on the magic circle in turn according to the order of drawing, and the intricate patterns around it lit up, and then the four people on the magic array were teleported into the small competition field on the third floor.
Although it is a small competition field, it is actually two-thirds the size of the first floor of the dungeon of the Endless Sea of Trees, but the freshman competition is still very different from ordinary dungeon reclamation, and there will be special supply points in the competition field, so even if the activity area is relatively large, the participants do not need to hire an attendant, and most people carry three to five days' rations at the beginning of the competition.
The first thing Rob did after entering the dungeon was to take out his goggles and scarf, and the other three did almost the same thing, yes, most of the dungeon of Bantem was a desert environment, as far as the eye could see, the yellow sand in the sky, the rolling sand dunes one after another, and the scorching sun scorching everything overhead, the ghost knows why Banterm, which is located in the south near the coastline, has such a strange desert dungeon.
The environment here is obviously much worse than the dungeon in the Endless Sea of Trees.
Unlike when they were forced to enter the dungeon when they first met Lolo, the freshman competition was essentially just a game used by the school to train the new students, although this was once the third level of the dungeon, most of the threats had been cleared up, and the danger was far less than the dungeon of the Endless Sea of Trees they had entered, and the only thing they needed to watch out for was the Golem Master.
Rob knew the importance of this freshman competition to Lolo, so he was not polite, and after entering the game, he directly took over the command of the team, spread out the map of the third layer that he bought at a large price from Lois, and then took out the ruler and compass he carried with him, squatted on the sand to write and draw, and half a minute later he took those things back into his backpack in the stunned expressions of Ginny and Gage,
"Luckily, we are only a day and a half away from the inner city, according to the information I have gathered before, now we are in the outer city area, there are very few supply points and treasure chests, so the key to the initial game is to see who can enter the inner city early, because theoretically speaking, the earlier you enter the inner city, the more props and supplies you can get, and the later you enter the inner city, the higher the risk of being eliminated, but this is not absolute," Rob paused, The inner city has been renovated and partially restored to its functions, and it is the only place in the entire dungeon where there is water and vegetation, and the really powerful monsters are active in the inner city, so the sooner you enter the inner city, the more likely it is to be attacked, and in general, the risks and benefits coexist. ”
In order to prevent everyone from being teleported to the same starting point, there is a situation where the strong team directly clears the weak team, and the teleportation method taken when entering the competition venue is completely random, that is to say, the location of the teleportation point is uncertain, and the team may appear anywhere on the third floor, Rob is not sure if there is a team that directly teleports into the inner city, so it is best for them to be able to hurry up and act.
Luo Luo behaved very calmly, she had been shocked by someone's performance countless times as early as when she was in the Endless Sea of Trees, so much so that she was a little numb now, and she wouldn't make as much fuss as Ginny and Gage, anyway, it would be right to listen to this guy, so she asked directly, "Which way?"
"This way. Rob gestured in the direction and reminded, " Be careful of the environment here, you are likely to encounter some desert monsters along the way, most of the first-order desert monsters are not very dangerous, but you still have to be careful of several of them, especially the Takuta sand scorpion, this kind of small thing will completely bury its body under the sand when hunting, it is difficult to find, and their tail needles are poisonous, although they are not fatal, but they will be paralyzed by a sting When at least half of the magic, I have an antidote in my bag, but I need to save some use, there may be more troublesome guys in the back, if you are poisoned by the Takuta sand scorpion, rest on the spot, and wait for the toxin to pass by itself。 ”
Among the group, Luo Luo's strength is the strongest, so she walks at the front of the team without giving up, and can react to any danger at the first time, with her skills should come to dodge quickly, Rob follows, on the one hand, he can support the former in time, on the other hand, it is also convenient for him to observe the environment at any time and command, and then there is Ginny, who has almost no power to protect himself, and the last to press the formation is Gage.
The quasi-magister has always known that the fat man's family background is good, but he didn't expect it to be so good, he is now wearing a standard paladin armor, and the defensive effect seems to be above the genuine, by no means comparable to the standard goods of the bad street on the side of the road, and the saber hanging from his waist is not like an ordinary product, but it looks quite old, not so much a weapon as an antique, fortunately, it is well maintained, although the sword is still sharp enough after the baptism of the years, the quality of this antique sword is far beyond many newly cast new swords。
In addition, Gage also carried a magic guide engraved with second-order defensive magic in his arms, and his current outfit was already armed to the teeth, at least no one in this class of freshman swordsmen could be more dreamy than him. And he received all this equipment out of the blue, the night before the start of the competition.
Gage's mother heard that her son was going to participate in Siamers's freshman competition, so in order to make him get a good result in this competition, she secretly packed a set of family collections and sent someone to send them, Rob and others could only sigh at the greatness of maternal love.
With this set of equipment, the fat man's strength has improved a lot, jumping from pulling the hind legs to above the qualified line, although the attack power is still very scummy, but with the super high defense, he can even deal with the main attackers of other squads, of course, the premise is that the other party is willing to stare at him.
However, his luxurious equipment is a bit of a trick in the current environment, the sun shines on the golden armor and the temperature is surprisingly high in less than five minutes, and his hands can be burned when he puts it on, not to mention the fat man inside, at this moment Gage is like a big prawn stuffed into a steamer, and after a while, his face is sweating profusely, and his eyes are full of gold stars, Rob is afraid that he will take two more steps and become familiar directly, so he proposed to the latter, "Either you should take off that equipment first, and then put it on when there is a battle?"
Gage shook his head, "You don't know, this armor is very troublesome to put on and take off, the first time I wore this thing, I wore it for half a magic, if I took it off, it would be too late when it was really dangerous." ”
Rob didn't expect the fat man to be so dedicated, and gave the latter a thumbs up, "It's okay if you don't take it off, but at least cover something up to block the sun exposure, otherwise you will be dehydrated in a short time if you go on like this." ”
"Makes sense. Gage actually felt that he was about to lose his hand, but he didn't know how to solve it, and he was too embarrassed to tell others that he was afraid of causing trouble to the team, until Rob opened his mouth He suddenly realized, and quickly took out a few clothes from his backpack and tied them to the outside of the armor, so that he felt much better.
After that, the team continued on their way, but in just half a day, almost everyone was deeply aware of how fortunate it was to have someone like someone in the team. They walked through the desert all morning, but they were all safe, relying on the terrifying knowledge and extremely calm brain of His Excellency the Future Super Magister, this guy seemed to know everything about the habits and characteristics of all magical beasts, and could always avoid danger one step ahead, compared to several other squads they encountered along the way, and they had encountered some battles more or less.
At the beginning of the game, most of the squads were more cautious, because they didn't have too many points on each other, and there was no pressure from water and food, so they wouldn't shoot indiscriminately unless they had an overwhelming strength advantage, and everyone obviously knew that the real competition was after entering the inner city, and it didn't make sense to start a war now, and it was likely to be picked up by other squads nearby.
However, in the afternoon, Rob and they were still in trouble, Lolo had the best eyesight, so he was also the first person in the team to notice the anomaly, pointing to the yellow line on the edge of the sky that was moving this way and asked Rob behind him, "What is that?" (To be continued.) )
