Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Mysterious Force That Suddenly Appears
When Lin Qiu woke up, he suddenly felt refreshed, and the snowstorm outside the outpost had dissipated at some point. Perhaps it was because www.biquge.info there were too many things that happened the day before, Sophia and the others were still asleep, and Richard fell to the side even more crookedly. Several awake adventurers saw him wake up and nodded at him.
Tesla at the door beckoned to him, and when Lin Qiu came over with a bottle of water, he whispered: "I went to investigate the collapsed mountain road before, and it seems that it has been damaged by man." ”
When he heard the adventurer say that the mountain road collapsed because of Helo's appearance, he became suspicious.
The research institute also has a wide variety of introductions to the mysterious race of the Wyvern, and the survey shows that any Wyvern with a name will cause visions of heaven and earth when it appears, such as the Winter Dragon - Helo, who appears with a large amount of snowfall. However, in order to ensure the smooth passage of the northern border, every mountain road is regularly maintained by the church, and it is impossible for an ordinary snowstorm to cause a large-scale collapse.
And he really found the scorched black traces on the mountain road, which could cause a large-scale collapse, which was obviously the work of some powerful sword technique.
Tesla voiced his guess: "In other words, someone doesn't want us to go back." ”
Combined with the fact that they barely encountered a few monsters along the way, it is possible that someone had arrived before them, and they seemed to notice them arriving later, so they blocked their retreat after they arrived at the outpost.
Tesla pulled out a dark crystal necklace, the work of his mentor, the origin of the design was his barrier crystal, but the necklace was infused with a much greater notching power, which was able to create a shield covering ten meters in a short time, and during the test, this shield could even block the full force of the Templars.
It is no wonder that after handing over the research task to them, the mentor, who had always been free from the crowd, called him over for the first time and personally handed him the necklace.
If what Tesla says is true, then the matter becomes even more complicated. They lay defenseless at the outpost all night without being attacked, indicating that the other side did not bother to pay much attention to them.
Then the one who can attract these people is likely to be the winter dragon - Helo.
After all, most normal people are pursuing more powerful powers, rather than learning to contribute to modern monsters.
However, this is not necessarily a bad thing.
This means that until they find out how Helo treats humanity, they completely let the two forces turn against each other, and they hide in the shadows to decide what to do next.
The necessary condition for this to be done is to learn to stealth.
"Is that so?"
Tesla imitated Lin Qiu's appearance, bowed down, took a deep breath, and tried not to let his footsteps make too much noise. Then, under Lin Qiu's guidance, he moved towards Susie step by step, and the adventurers in the outpost looked at his strange hand that was stretched out to Susie, and they all showed evil smiles.
"What are you doing?"
When Tesla's hand was about to touch Susie, the latter suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a hint of coldness in his gaze when he looked at him.
Tesla shook the black crystal necklace in front of Susie like a trick, and before he could speak, he received a knife in the head.
Stealth Quest (Newbie), Quest Progress: Failed.
Tesla, who walked back in a gloomy manner, insisted that it must have been because Susie was too alert, so the mission should be considered epic.
After a series of commotions, Sophia and the others woke up leisurely.
Lin Qiu immediately explained Tesla's discovery to them and told them about his plan. Sneaking behind enemy lines without knowing anything is a very difficult thing in itself, and if you take these tall adventurers with you, it will undoubtedly make this difficult event impossible.
Therefore, he needs to have these adventurers stationed at the first outpost, as it is called: waiting for rescue.
He knew on his toes that in the Church's busy Plague Month, there was no way the Church would send people to the north to rescue a group of adventurers - if he remembered correctly, Sophia had snuck out behind the royal family's back, and the reason why those people didn't bother to pay attention to them was probably because they didn't know that there was a princess and a prince among them.
"So the people in charge of tracking down Harrow are the Mamat family, Princess Sophia, and Lilith!"
Lin Qiu announced to the crowd that these adventurers cheered happily after hearing that they didn't have to face the dragon—waiting for rescue? This was not the slightest difficulty for them, and the thought of being able to complete an S-class mission without doing anything made them eager to have a drink right away!
These people who were originally summoned to challenge S-class monsters are extremely weak at the moment.
Fortunately, in the group, except for Richard, basically all have different degrees of scoring power, even if they don't use a carriage, it is not difficult to march in the cold.
Lin Qiu had to admit that the northern realm did have a fatal attraction for adventurers. What caught his eye was an endless snowy scene, and the trail was lined with vegetation that grew in the snow, making him feel that this white scenery was not empty, and on the snowy mountains in the distance, he could see low-level monsters from time to time.
According to statistics, between the first outpost and the third outpost, there are more than 100 kinds of harmless E-class monsters. When an adventurer walks down this trail, he never knows what lies ahead of him.
Maybe it's an adventure, maybe it's a pit.
That's why so many adventurers enter the North every year.
However, in the face of such a view, they had to crawl carefully through the mountains. They didn't know if those mysterious people would leave people to guard the outpost, and the only thing Lin Qiu could conclude was that these people thought that their strength could easily crush those adventurers, so they would let them go.
If he guessed correctly, the forces that dared to target the Winter Dragon, Herlo, would also have the Templars in charge.
The aggressive monsters between the first and second outposts had been cleared of them, so that their sophisticated stealth plans would not be detected by a passing monster.
--Fighting in this endless snowfield, you can see it at a glance even if you are thousands of kilometers away.
When the group crept to the second outpost, it was dark again. Of course, the main reason for this is that when they wake up from their sleep, it's already afternoon.
"Wait. ”
Lin Qiu, who was walking at the forefront, stopped, and the outline of the second outpost could already be seen from this position - in the dark environment, the burning bonfire of the outpost was particularly conspicuous.
In the middle of nowhere, a campfire is a sign of human presence.
If you see the existence of a bonfire after discovering that there is no way back, you will definitely rush forward without hesitation.
Those people tried to lure them with campfires.
-- This was Lin Qiu's only thought. (To be continued.) )
