Lord Dalaran and the Adventurer's Guild opponent's handling of the attack on their Wind Squad was revealed to all the adventurers through the remaining three members. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
For Donald's benevolent and just approach, as well as the Adventurers' Guild's welfare and treatment of the adventurers in distress, it is equivalent to giving double insurance to the adventurers who join it, and all the adventurers who got the news were moved, and a few veteran adventurers who were not young even shed tears.
What do they adventurers come and go for? They don't want to get ahead and earn wealth, they don't want to spend their whole lives in the fields like their ancestors, and their descendants will have no future like themselves!
Except for a few who yearn for that adventurous life and choose to join, most of the adventurers were originally just ordinary civilians, and those who can mix to the bronze rank are already one in a thousand, and those who have reached the silver strength are even rarer, this is a high-risk job, almost half of the adventurers who encountered accidents on the way, and the rest are also injured and disabled, and only a few can enjoy their old age in peace.
Now that there are such benevolent lords, and there is such an organization dedicated to the sake of adventurers, whether it is Dalaran or the adventurer's guild, they have already been deeply moved!
Many of them were already determined to support the Guild, and many even thought of settling in Dalaran.
Not to mention the Lou Dong of those adventurers, Donald, who left the adventurers' guild, was already in the green cloak forest with Uther at this time.
After the last retreat and cultivation, after the strength was automatically promoted to the bronze peak, the spirit hun level had exceeded the upgrade standard, and his talent spell teleportation technique was finally upgraded to a group teleportation technique that could bring people to teleport, as long as he broke through the silver, he could be upgraded to a large teleportation technique, and at that time, as long as he had been in the main world, he would be at ease.
According to the description of the two members of the Wind Squad, Donald summoned five owls in one breath and flew towards the general direction of the incident to investigate.
Then he walked with Uther after him. As he walked Donald, he asked, "Uther, how is your strength now?"
"It has stabilized in the middle of the silver stage, the hearts of the people in this world are closed, and the power of the holy light has not been accumulated much, but no one has ever comprehended the mystery of the holy light, so the reserves are very rich, enough for me to break through to the legendary realm, or even a higher level!"
Donald glanced at Uther with envy when he heard this, and he was very envious of his cultivation method that could directly draw power from the source of holy light and be able to upgrade and progress while sitting at home.
Through the knowledge imparted by the Book of Truth, as well as his own understanding in the divine xing, Donald understood that the power of the Holy Light used by Uther was actually derived from the power of faith, but it was a variant of the power of faith, more similar to the power of light condensed by people's insistence on justice and hope and yearning for good things. Usually hidden in the void, those who do not comprehend the true meaning of the Holy Light will not be able to discover the existence of this power.
According to the setting of the Book of Truth, the paladins from Warcraft are such a group of people who have comprehended the heart of the Holy Light, and they use the will of the spirit and themselves as a medium to absorb this layer of light power for urgent use.
This is the reason why there is no true god, and a paladin like Uther can perform similar magical abilities.
Unlike the orthodox priests, holy warriors and other clergy in this world, their power is not given by the true god through the feedback of faith, but by obtaining the seeds of holy light by themselves, and then gradually cultivating and growing. The power of the Holy Light is a relatively large force, like those plane wills, there is no wisdom, only instinctive will, as long as someone understands the meaning of the Holy Light, they can obtain power in it, and on the other hand, the more people who comprehend the meaning of the Holy Light, the stronger the power to feed back to the Holy Light, which is a way to grow with mutual help.
Just as mages absorb the elements and magic of the world, swordsmen transform into sword energy by absorbing free energy from food and air. Paladins have no restrictions other than that they must act according to the Light's heart.
In fact, Donald also has an idea, that is, if such a holy light power that no one cares about in this world can be held in his own hands, it will undoubtedly gain an authority that can be exercised in the rules of the world, and become a powerful existence like a true god, that is, it is not difficult to ignite the divine fire and then become a true god. In particular, the mystery of the Holy Light is the natural priesthood, and the step of condensing the priesthood and obtaining the godhead can be easily completed, saving most of the time.
However, although Donald admires the life of the paladins and the ideas they uphold, he does not fully agree with them. After all, he is still an ordinary human being, although he has a bright side in his heart, he will also be self-si, and he will also have hopes, and it will be a difficult life for him to act according to the dogma of the paladin like an ascetic!
So even though it was a huge force, even the ladder to be able to step on the throne, Donald was willing to give it up. His path is not only this, whether it is the Book of Truth, or the origin god of the evil god, it has faintly pointed out a path for him, although it may be extremely difficult and difficult, but the future is brighter, and there is no limit to obtaining the power of the Holy Light, because although it is easy to succeed by taking shortcuts, you must pay a price!
These thoughts passed through Donald's mind, and he didn't think about them anymore. Isn't the power that Uther has acquired the same as his own? The characters created through the Book of Truth have an inseparable connection with him as a master in the spirit, and Donald believes that even if Uther becomes a powerful being like a true god, he will not betray him.
Then he asked about the situation at the Blue Pattern Gold Mine, and got a normal answer, and then an owl in front of him came with a message.
The owl spotted the monster in the forest, and Donald looked through its lens to see two humanoid lizard monsters more than eight feet tall walking through the forest with weapons in their hands.
"As described by the two adventurers of the Wind Squad, it is indeed a type of lizardmen!"
Donald said softly.
"Let's go, let's go and see how strong these guys are!"
As he spoke, he teleported to the two lizardmen monsters with Uther.
"Hiss ......"
Spotting the appearance of the strange creature, the two lizardmen immediately used their own distinctive cries to warn their kind, and then fiercely waved their weapons, flicking two large and powerful tui and tails, and pounced on Donald and them.
Looking at Donald's master and servant but standing still, I saw that with a wave of Donald's hand, an ice blue light exploded between the two lizardmen, instantly turning the two opponents whose strength was not lower than the bronze early stage into ice sculptures.
"Amphibians are really afraid of the cold! Exploration and discovery of these science and education programs are indeed not in vain...
After a frost nova spell eliminated the two lizardmen, Donald knew that none of them were dead, but they were just eroded by the power of ice and could not regain their activities, and their brains were still awake and should regain their freedom of movement after half an hour.
So Donald immediately stepped forward and used his innate ability after obtaining the Divine Bloodline to communicate with the heart.
Since it was not known if these lizardmen understood the common language of the mainland, Donald planned to communicate with them directly from his consciousness, interrogating them to obtain the information he wanted.
Fifteen minutes later, Donald had regained his ability to communicate with his heart, and his face was both happy and worried.
He muttered to himself: "It turned out to be an underground creature from the dark region, but I didn't expect that there was a plane passage between the abyss and the main material world near my territory......"
These two lizardmen were very tough at first, but they couldn't withstand Donald's slight intimidation, their intelligence was much simpler than that of humans, where had they seen such a heart-attacking technique, and they didn't need Donald's hands to torture at all, so he told everything he wanted to know.
After Donald's interrogation, the two lizardmen were revealed, they belonged to a race of lizardmen named the black-scaled lizardmen, who originally lived in the surface world, but because of the great demon disaster that affected the entire world thousands of years ago, they were forced to migrate to the underground world.
In the main material world, there are not only many creatures living on the surface, but also many creatures living in the cave world deep underground.
The most famous of these are the Black Dragons and the Dark Elves who live there.
For the humans above the surface, the black dragon and the dark elf are just legends, one of them is the dragon scum banished to the underground world by the dragon clan, and the other is the fallen elf who rebelled against the will of nature and the elven gods, which can be said to be an evil race.
In particular, it is said that when the dark elves retreated to the underground world, they had already defected to the arms of the evil true god, and Xingge changed from a proud and pure elf to a cruel and evil dark elf, so he was spurned by the vast number of creatures in the main material world.
With the exception of these two most well-known races, the racial structure of the Netherlands is almost as complex as the surface world. Moreover, compared to the surface world, which can maintain stability and peace most of the time, the law of the jungle is pursued in the underground world, not to mention the law of the jungle, and the unprovoked killing is even more alarming.
Chapter 166 The first exploration of the underground dark region is as its name suggests, not only deep and dark, but also full of dangers, even a relatively powerful race like the Black Scale Lizard tribe, when they first entered the underground world, they also suffered a lot.
Usually over eight feet tall when standing, with deep sunken eye sockets and flat noses that make them look like skeletons, these reptilian humanoids have tough scales like black sè, raised membranes that stretch from the top of their heads to their backs, curved and sharp nails, and sharp teeth in their mouths.
Like their close relatives, the black-scaled lizards, a humanoid creature still in primitive tribal society, are simple in intelligence and cruel and tyrannical, and once they are angry, they are quite dangerous. Generally, there are black-scaled lizardmen with bronze initial combat power appearing in groups, and there is no way to stop the demonic beasts below the sixth level and the armies of ordinary human realms.
After such a powerful race came to the underground world, it also continued to reduce its staff for various reasons. When the number of their clansmen is reduced to a certain level, they have to find another way to survive in the dark region and ensure the reproduction and continuation of the race.
So the elders of the black-scaled lizards at that time chose to believe in a god named the god of poisonous snakes.
Keep in mind that the black-scaled lizardmen have always claimed that their appearance is proof of the origin of their bloodline from ancient dragons, although there is little evidence to prove this claim. Because of this statement, they disdain to admit other amphibians who are also close relatives, believing that their race is a level above them. The other amphibians who do not have dragon blood are even more disdainful, believing that they are all low-level creatures.
Therefore, it is conceivable how much the black-scaled lizard people suffered at that time to be forced to choose to believe in the god of poisonous snakes.
None of this is mentioned, and Donald asks the two black-scaled lizardmen captives why they're here.
When the abyss plane invaded for the first time, the spatial rifts formed by the collision with the main material world, most of these cracks were automatically healed by the power of the plane, but in various parts of the main world, there were still many cracks of different sizes forming semi-stable natural plane channels, which could allow some less powerful abyssal creatures to sneak into the main world through these channels.
These black-scaled lizardmen are because there is such a dimensional passage near their territory nest, a few months ago, a large number of demon teams appeared from it, and the leader of them is a powerful silver demon, even with the strength and number of the black-scaled lizard tribe, they can't compete with these abyssal demons, so in order to avoid becoming the demon's slave and blood food, they will be forced to flee from the original underground settlement, and they are going to find another cave to settle down.
Demons are inherently chaotic and evil creatures, and they don't let these black-scaled lizardmen go for the sake of being equally evil creatures. Although the black-scaled lizardman is not so bright, he also knows that dealing with demons will not end well. So it's imperative to migrate.
It's just that they didn't expect those demons to launch a crazy attack on the creatures around the passage as soon as they came to the main world, so they had to flee before they could find out the location of the new nest and prepare for the migration work. Chased by demons, these black-scaled lizardmen accidentally opened the passage to the surface world.
All of the black-scaled lizardmen were excited.
When they were young, they heard from generations of elders that they used to live on the surface of the earth, how the sun shone brightly, and how fertile the water and soil were, even though their race did not like to bask in the sun.
Moreover, in the impression of the inhabitants of the dark region, most races in the surface world are weak and incompetent creatures, and with a slight intimidation, they can make the other party offer money and food in both hands and then sacrifice themselves to the strong as slaves and food.
Many black-scaled lizardmen fantasize that they have come to the surface world, conquered the creatures there, and become great beings like kings and even true gods.
However, these simple-minded creatures did not think about why powerful races such as dark elves, gray dwarves, and minotaurs did not kill the surface to conquer that world if the creatures of the surface world were so weak.
You must know that although there are not many passages to the surface world, these powerful races basically have one or two in their hands!
Although the black-scaled lizardmen are much stronger than humans, they have low intelligence and are not many in number, so after learning about these situations, Donald didn't worry much, because the black-scaled lizard tribe that came to the surface was only about fifty in total, even if he didn't use his territory and his own strength, he could only send a large number of adventurers to destroy them all.
What really worries Donald is the races of the other Dark Regions, as well as the noon abyssal passage in the mouths of these lizards.
The creatures of the Dark Lands are basically evil camps, and most of the inhabitants believe in evil gods or powerful abyssal demons and creatures from the outer realm.
Lies and deception are their instincts, robbery and theft are natural for them, and it is even more common to kill people at the slightest disagreement.
These races are extremely dangerous beings for the surface world, and once they are allowed to spread, they will have very serious consequences for their own territory.
This sudden passage to the surface, once discovered by other underground creatures, could easily become an outpost for underground bandits to plunder surface creatures. Even if they destroy this exit, they will probably dig up another one, and many underground creatures are known for their ability to dig holes. At least Donald knows that there are three kinds of gray dwarves, xuédwellers and kobolds, take kobolds as an example, this kind of natural miners are quite numerous, and they are widely distributed in the main material realm, and there are often kobolds who dig through human mines and attack human accidents.
As for the passage of the abyssal plane, Donald was half happy and half worried.
Happily, if there is such a dimensional passage near his territory, he can continuously obtain the spiritual power and materials of demonic creatures, which will bring him great wealth and benefits.
The worry is that although there are benefits to such a situation, once a demon becomes too powerful to deal with, then these benefits will become a disaster.
I haven't come into contact with the spell on the sealing plane passage yet, so it seems that I have to consult with the teacher.
So Donald took Uther and prepared to enter the hole that led to the underworld.
Shortly after taking out the two useless black-scaled lizardmen captives, Donald discovered the location of the col hole by observing the owl.
"It should be there, let's go!"
Before teleporting to the cave with Uther, the two jumped out of the hole without hesitation.
This deep hole is not as deep as expected, it is only five or six meters high from the ground below, and then there is an underground passage diagonally downward, depending on the situation, I don't know if it is a natural formation, or because of its age, there is no trace of the axe and chisel traces.
There was a slight sound of footsteps in the passage of the dark underground cavern, and a cloud of white light lit up in the distance, and Donald and Uther walked from the other side of the passage with light magic.
At this time, they were already at least a dozen miles underground, but because the passage was inclined and spiraling downward, they did not know how deep it was from the surface.
Inevitably, Milu lost its direction of return, or was suddenly attacked, so Donald put three of the several owls he had summoned earlier to explore the path in front, and two to follow behind to keep guard.
Along the way, there was no sign of any creatures, presumably because the road had been cleared by the previous black-scaled lizard tribe, so it was so smooth.
After going forward for another two or three miles, a fork in the road appeared in front of me.
However, this did not bother Donald, and he summoned three more owls, leaving two in front of him, and the rest divided into two teams and leaned out to the front passage.
In a short time, a group of owls explored the end of one of the passages, and two more forks in the road appeared. Donald immediately ordered them to spread their noses and explore their way again.
At this time, the owls on the other side have entered a dead end and are attacked by unknown creatures.
Owls also have a good night vision perspective, and some of the creatures that live underground all year round are not inferior. However, the speed of the other party is too fast, and the owl, which is just an ordinary summoned creature, has basically no combat power except for facing the vole, and an owl is torn to pieces before it can react, turning into energy and dissipating on the spot.
Donald didn't have the heart to rush to deal with the attacker in that line of thought, so he simply ordered the remaining two owls to go back the way they came, luring each other to his side.
Owls could fly, and as long as they remained about three feet above the top of the passage, the attacker had nothing to do with them but to chase them all the way to the first fork in the road where the Donald and the others were.
Without letting Uther make a move, Donald once again took out the other party with a frost nova.
The only surprise was the agility of the attacker, who was able to force a turn in mid-air and avoid Donald's mental lock, but it didn't know that Frost Nova was an explosive spell, so it was still hit by the exploding ice energy, and half of its body was frozen and fell to the ground of the passage with an ordinary bang.
Uther, who had been guarding his master's side, stepped forward and picked up the attacker and walked back.
Under the light technique, Donald, who saw the true face of the attacker, couldn't help but smile.
The creature was no more than three feet long from head to tail, covered in scales and bluish gray skin, with green sè spots, a long mane erect on a thin and long spine on his back, a sinuous tail, well-developed forelimbs, and even though they were relatively stout in the back and usually stood straight, it was still clear that the group were killers who were accustomed to running on all fours.
At this time, the flesh-ripping dragon maintained a posture of opening its teeth and claws, a standard reptilian creature with its wide flat mouth open, with the opening of its mouth, revealing a terrifying sharp tooth, and a pair of six-inch-long hook-like long claws appeared at the end of each of its limbs, even if its body was stiff and unable to move, it also made people feel as if they were choosing someone to eat.
"Isn't this the velociraptor he saw in the Jurassic Park movies?"
Donald said in his heart.
In fact, the creature in front of him did resemble the velociraptor very much. Through the introduction in the book, Donald learned that this guy was a small dinosaur-like creature called Flesh Ripper. And it looks like it's still a juvenile flesh-ripping dragon without an adult, and the adult meat-ripping dragon is usually seven feet tall when it stands, saying that they remind Jiāo to be small, which is compared to other dinosaur creatures.
Note that we're talking about dinosaurs, not wurms. Some dinosaur creatures do have dragon blood, but dinosaur creatures do not represent wurms, and most dinosaur creatures are not wurms, but another reptile creature that is different from amphibians.
As for why there are dinosaurs with dragon blood, it is estimated that it is because there are several types of large dinosaurs that look very similar to wurms, and dragons and wurms with their blood habits are all denied by their relatives once they start a relationship, and they have to vent when they have the opportunity, so there are so many wurm creatures in this world. !。
