Chapter 966: Ash Oath
The appearance of the witch who claimed to be the god of death made Zhao Wenrui realize that this time he was probably traveling through a world with an extremely extraordinary atmosphere.
This is obviously an important reference factor, originally he planned to take the muscle stick route in his previous life, after all, it is good to be able to fight and carry explosives.
But if it's a spell flying all over the sky, it's still the caster system that takes precedence, otherwise it's too much of a loss.
Just like he just talked to the witch, the other party can directly sense his thoughts, but he can't sense the other party's, how can this be confused?
However, he was not in a hurry to make a solid choice, he felt that it was better to choose based on the actual situation, and try to avoid making mistakes by taking it for granted.
Kane was happy to see this, and it was just right for him to modify the contents of the gold finger and put the druid system on the line.
So Zhao Wenrui rested for about half an hour and began to explore the surroundings.
The world has a very bad impression of him.
First of all, the air is stinking and smells of sulfur, and it seems to be mixed with the smell of blood and metal rust.
Then let's talk about the scenery, the dusty sky does not see the sun, it is obviously daytime, but the light is as dim as dusk, and it is dim.
As far as the eye can see, it is a barren wilderness, even the vegetation is sparse and mostly dry. Because it is a Gobi landform, there is gravel and gravel everywhere, but there is no soil and living water in sight.
At the end of the line of sight, there are dark mountains, and I don't know if there are trees, water, or food.
And whether he had it or not, he had already decided to head towards the mountains.
There was no shelter in the wilderness, he didn't have long-range weapons, and considering the need to spend the night, he felt that it was better to find a comfortable environment.
After a brief self-check, he hit the road.
Time is a little short for him, first to solve the needs of survival, and after understanding the new shell, there is time.
Of course, even so, he had a certain understanding of the new shell.
The other party doesn't seem to be from this world, at least not from this region, not only because of the clothes, but also because this person has fine skin and tender flesh, which obviously does not match the environment of this area.
Zhao Wenrui walked a little slowly, one was that his new body needed to adapt, and the other was that he was worried that the excessive range of movement would cause a lot of sweating.
Hunger can be endured for a while, but thirst is a big problem, and he must prepare for the worst now.
After walking for a while, Zhao Wenrui had to admit that there are often deviations from reality as a matter of course, like this Gobi region, if you pay careful attention, you will find that it is not as barren as it was at the beginning.
This is good news, but the bad news is that the weather is much worse than previously thought.
Gale, a gale with an icy tidal scent, howled and raged across the wilderness.
Zhao Wenrui was wearing clothes, and the texture was very good, the kind that was insulated and breathable, but there were a few damages, and the cold wind poured in from these damages, which quickly made him feel cold.
At the same time, the strong wind also made the tumbleweed roll around, and Zhao Wenrui obtained some useful things from the tumbleweed, including straw ropes, small wooden sticks and so on.
He picked up suitable flints along the way, clamped them with sticks, tied them firmly with straw ropes, and had the most basic tool, a hand axe.
The straw rope also has an advantage, that is, it allows Zhao Wenrui to understand the deconstruction of the straw rope and try to weave it himself. And weave the straw rope, the grass armor, and there is a living cloth that cannot be said to be in the stream.
No matter how much it doesn't flow, it can also block the wind and cold.
However, his opponent was soon no longer confined to the harsh environment, a beast the size of a honey badger.
It has a bony shell, bone spurs, fangs, claws as sharp as steel hooks, whip-like tails, and long thorns at the end like maces.
Zhao Wenrui believes that the evolution of this little thing is so hideous, which is enough to show the cruelty of the natural environment in this area.
Zhao Wenrui didn't want to fight with these creatures that operated in a colony, but these hideous little beasts refused to let him go.
Zhao Wenrui had no choice but to escape, and by the way, he manipulated the golden finger to bless himself with some extraordinary abilities, otherwise he might not have outrun these little beasts.
Then he noticed that Goldfinger actually had an additional search function, which seemed to have been obtained by absorbing the power of the 'Black Vortex'.
This function automatically searches for the laws of the world and deconstructs and analyzes them.
At his current location, he can be provided with a magically modified entry-level combat class - Ash Oath.
This branch actually originates from the world of Ebberon, and the Ash Oath is a typical darker wind druid, often playing the role of an avenger of nature.
Zhao Wenrui was quickly attracted by the details of this position, and felt that even in the entry stage, the buffs and skills obtained were extremely practical, and the price was not expensive. He silently calculated that if he was willing to invest, the experience points he had now would be enough for him to rise to level 10 in one go.
Level 10 or above has entered the ranks of high-level fighters, and in the world of swords and sorcery, even if the earl sees it, he must give a very high courtesy.
However, Goldfinger currently only provides the first level, and it is impossible for him to rise to level 5 in one go, so he can only get stuck on level 4.
Zhao Wenrui quickly thought about it, and finally what made him make up his mind was the advertising slogan in his hometown: "10 yuan a piece, all 10 yuan, you can't buy 10 yuan, you can't buy it, you can't be fooled......"
I have this feeling now, if I don't go up to level 4, I will be promoted to level 3, it is cheap and good, and I will throw it away in the future, or use it as a deputy position, it is completely okay, and I will not feel a loss.
In this way, Zhao Wenrui used the gold finger system to bypass the cumbersome entry process, and with a flash of inspiration, he became a druid apprentice.
After obtaining this qualification, the emerald green light filled his body three times in a row, and he was promoted to three levels in a row, under normal circumstances, if you want to become a level 3 druid from an apprentice, it will take 3 years to be fast, and 5-7 years to be slow, and Zhao Wenrui is a frustrating mania.
There is naturally C Kane's pot here, he doesn't mind whether Zhao Wenrui is quick or not, what he wants is Zhao Wenrui's psychological activities in the face of events. However, if this Otherworld is an ordinary person, unless they are lucky enough, they will simply be dead and lifeless.
This is Kane's helplessness, there are not so many just right environments, characters and events for him to test, the imbalance between the two can only be solved by him, and for now, it is a relatively cost-effective choice for Zhao Wenrui.
After Zhao Wenrui became a level 3 druid, he felt very different from before.
At level 1 druid, you will get three special abilities: Animal Companions, Nature Senses, and Wild Identity.
Animal companions are loyal assistants who grow with the druid.
Zhao Wenrui does not have the conditions to obtain an animal companion now, and the animal companion is very useful and worth some thought, so Zhao Wenrui also prefers to obtain it after careful consideration.
Natural perception is the reinforcement of the two specific abilities of natural knowledge and survival.
After possessing natural feelings, he will gain similar special talents, which can better comprehend and remember nature-related knowledge, and also have stronger survival ability, such as tolerance, resistance to harsh environments, and so on.
Wild identity is the ability to influence the attitude of animals through body language, tone of voice, expressions, etc.
To put it bluntly, it is possible to communicate with birds and beasts simply, although it is the kind that even guesses, but it is also different from the ordinary.
The three special abilities of level 1 are the most useful for Zhao Wenrui now, which is natural feeling.
Dealing with the pursuit of the hideous little beast, I obviously felt a little calmer.
Level 2's special ability is Piercing Forests.
As the name suggests, it allows druids to walk on thorny plants, dense trees, or similar terrain at normal speed without taking any damage.
The situation in front of you may not seem to match the situation that the skill is aimed at, but it actually has an impact.
The Gobi is wide but not flat, high and low, gravel.
And after Zhao Wenrui obtained the talent of 'piercing the forest', he basically ignored this problem. It can be said that all the terrain is smooth for him.
So the substantive benefits it brings are obvious, the way out, but also labor-saving.
The special ability gained at level 3 is Walk Without a Trace, which allows the druid to leave no footprints and be tracked through this one. However, there is a premise, that is, it must be on natural terrain, such as clean tiles, pure white blanket floors and other unnatural terrain, which is not within the scope of the effect of the special ability.
This ability doesn't seem to be of much help to Zhao Wenrui now.
In fact, it is also useful, because the pursuit of this hideous little beast named 'Tyrant', eyes like snake eyes, with short-sighted characteristics, smell and imprint tracking is the key to hunting.
After Zhao Wenrui had the ability to step without a trace, the difficulty of tracking them was greatly increased.
Then Zhao Wenrui also obtained one of the unique skills of the 'Ash Oath' - the Shadow Cloak.
It's a sorcery-like ability that increases performance in phases and requires active casting.
At this stage, this skill has a major flaw, that is, it cannot be used in direct sunlight. Can only be used at dusk, at night, or in shaded areas.
Cloudy days are also OK.
And now it is the weather of the wind and haze, Zhao Wenrui put on the shadow coat, and there is a thin layer of light on the surface of his body, just like the effect of dazzling people and slightly ghosting.
A little farther away, the person will appear hazy, and the farther away will be more and more diluted, blending into the environment as if there is nothing.
And the shadow cover-up also insulates odors.
This made Zhao Wenrui wonder if the 'Ash Oath' was closely related to the Stalker's combat duties.
In fact, it doesn't have much to do with it, and the Ash Oath differs from ordinary druids in that they are adept at making and using magical weapons, most notably the totemic system.
When it comes to totems, people can easily associate with shamans, and the totemic spell of the Ash Oath is indeed borrowed from the shaman.
However, the power of essence is very different. The shaman totem is to better control the power of heaven and earth through all spirits. The Ember Oath focuses on 'the power of vengeance'.
To put it bluntly, those negative forces of nature.
After all, nature encompasses both life and death, beauty and horror, peace and violence.
Therefore, both Druids and factions may be opposed to each other, such as neutral good and neutral evil, which does not violate the Druid tradition.
The Ash Oath focuses on the negative forces of nature, so its casting is also terrifying and eerie, and in the eyes of ordinary people, it is even easy to judge them as evil mages or dark wizards.
Of course, if the Ash Oath Druid happens to be anti-human, then there's nothing wrong with the Dark Wizard.
Zhao Wenrui is just starting now, and there is still a lot of difference. But it also revealed the extraordinaryness of the warriors, and as soon as they ran away, they threw off the rats.
Rats are a nightmare in the Gobi, their teeth and horns are paralyzing and hallucinogenic toxins, and they are also infected with a virus called the demonic plague, which is a transcendent virus that targets the soul, which has limited effect on ordinary people, and is full of mental power, such as spellcasters, but nightmares. There are people in this world who specialize in catching rats, obtaining the virus, and then using it against spellcasters.
After Zhao Wenrui got rid of the rats, he never made the same mistake of being targeted by another handful of rats, and he even made himself a walking cane through the understanding and cognitive ability of natural knowledge strengthened by natural feelings.
In his hand, the cane looked like it had two more legs, which made him more effortless and significantly faster.
As the saying goes, looking at the mountain runs a dead horse, Zhao Wenrui has not been able to enter the mountain from day to night, but it is also fast, the mountain is already in sight, the color of the rock is blue and black, huge, the edges and corners are clear, so that the mountain is dignified and majestic at the same time, solemn as the monument of heaven and earth.
"This mountain is very nice, standing proudly overlooking the Gobi Desert. "When the line is near, Zhao Wenrui can see the truth, and his feelings are that this is a lonely mountain, not a mountain.
The reason why it is seen as a mountain in the distance is because it is so huge, like a stretching mountain, and when you get closer, you will find that even if there are some ups and downs, the foundation belongs to the same place.
If someone says that this mountain was actually originally a big tree that reaches to the sky, or a pillar that supports the sky, but it has been cut down, and only such a stake remains, Zhao Wenrui will choose to believe this statement.
Because it just gives people the effect of being cut down on the peak, and it is still unfinished.
As a druid, Zhao Wenrui is now much more sensitive to the natural environment than he was in the past.
He judged by the insignificant tide of the sea contained in the wind that the northwest side of the place was the sea, and it was not particularly far away.
"Like this pattern of thousands of miles of lonely mountains standing alone, I'm afraid there is a story, I have to be careful. ”
He reminded himself of this in his heart, but he still chose to climb the mountain.
The druid's position sharpened his instincts, and he instinctively sensed that the foot of the mountain was not safe.
Of course, this mountain is even more unsafe.
However, at the foot of the mountain is the little ghost, and on the mountain is the king of Hades, who will not show up easily, and may not be able to meet it if he wants to, but he can borrow his tiger skin to deter those spirits under the mountain.
In addition, he is now like a camel, he can smell the water from a long distance, and there is a spring in the mountain, which is another reason why he went up the mountain.
Soon after ascending the mountain, the ruins of ruins were discovered, which originally looked like a mountain town, and the buildings were full of exotic atmosphere.
Zhao Wenrui took himself as a reference, compared it, and felt that it should not be human, and the creatures that use these buildings are generally about 2.8 meters tall, which is similar to the Titan race to which Thanos belongs.
"Half-giant?" he pondered, but no one stepped forward to examine it closely.
As soon as the Gobi Lonely Mountain is in ruins, with a little brain, it is easy to think that this special place may be boring.
And most of them are ruthless things that people of his level of strength can't hold at all.
Therefore, if he doesn't do it or die, he just came to spend the night, not to open up the wasteland alone, and it's better not to be so curious.
Moreover, the witch had warned that there was something unusual about the nights in this world.
So, he didn't even look for spring water, but found a nearby stone crevice, and prepared to spend the night, and waited until dawn, but as a result, something happened......
