Lonely Mountain covers an area of more than 100 square kilometers, rising from the ground for thousands of meters, if it is not for the fact that this place is open and unobstructed, the wild wind is endless day and night, I believe that on the top of the mountain, you can feel the beauty of the 'floating island of the sea of clouds'.

The employment of the druid has greatly strengthened Zhao Wenrui's ability to understand nature.

Combined with the details of what he saw and heard, he had reason to believe that when the fortress on the top of this lonely mountain was glorious, what the creatures here saw every day was indeed the magnificent scenery of looking at the stars, the sea of clouds, and the vast earth.

However, nothing is eternal, and there is prosperity and decline. All that remains of the magnificent scene is now desolation, and it seems that some kind of cursed little tail remains to this day.

Zhao Wenrui is actually interested in these.

But he was afraid that his curiosity would lead him to death.

Eventually, he convinced himself to take the road under his feet first, and then talk about anything else.

The so-called road under your feet, in the final analysis, is nothing more than food, clothing, shelter and transportation. Human life is inseparable from these four points.

So he suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and instead of digging deeper, he searched the edge of the ruins.

In the specific search process, he confirmed more and more that the destruction of this mountain city was extraordinary.

Because there are so many traces of objects, although most of them have decayed to the point that they will be shattered at the touch of a touch, their existence can tell a lot.

If you leave normally, you will inevitably pack your bags and pack everything into the packing car.

And even if it is an ordinary disaster, it will come back afterwards to reorganize, and the household belongings can be cleaned up as much as possible.

But looking at the situation here, there is no such action, people leave very suddenly, and never come back.

The biggest possibility that Zhao Wenrui could think of was that the city was destroyed, people died, and this place became a cursed place, and no living beings were willing to approach.

Anyway, he didn't see any creatures here, let alone birds, or small animals like rabbits or mice, not even insects and ants.

In addition, his San value is already below 100, he can see 'ghost shadows' and hear 'ghost words' during the day, and the whole world is gray in his eyes, so walking here, he will soon feel hairy in his heart, as if he is being targeted by something dirty.

After a while, he even found a way to use the Goldfinger attribute panel to warn.

This is done by manually selecting a list of data that can be fed back instantly, always in the corner of his retina.

There are five values in total.

Hunger value, hunger and thirst value, corresponding to food and drinking water respectively, the upper limit is 100, and now they are all below 50, yellow, indicating that the situation is not very good, and there is an obvious need.

Then there's comfort, which includes cold, heat, and the fit of the gear, and even the weight.

And then there's the health, which seems to be based on the stamina stats, and he now has 12 stamina, and the upper limit is 120. He is not injured now, and this value is full.

Finally, there is the San value, which is now below 100, yellow, indicating that it has begun to suffer from bad effects.

He found that when he approached something dangerous, the San value was displayed, and there would be a downward arrow, floating up and down, which meant that he had started to drop the San value.

Although the frequency of this arrow is always the same, there are three forms from thin to thick, and the thickest kind has a San value of almost 1 point per second.

This is what happened when he approached a well.

At that time, he heard a rumbling sound from the well, as if some big creature was swimming, and a cold chill erupted from the well, and his bones were chilled by the cold.

But such a negative situation gave him an unprecedented feeling of 'excitement', a strange feeling of coolness, and a certain desire to be awakened in his heart, urging him to get close to the well to see, and even go down to the well. In hindsight, it's like the legendary evil spirit.

Thanks to the instant feedback from the Goldfinger panel, he saw that the thick black arrow made his San value go crazy in seconds, and the spirit spirit woke up in fright and hurriedly flew back, and only then did he escape.

After that, it took more than 10 minutes for the beating heart to calm down as the mood eased.

And then there is the fear.

At that time, I was stunned, and I couldn't even care about being afraid.

Then, he thought of a way to pay attention to the change in the San value, so as to achieve the purpose of early warning.

As soon as there is a small arrow pointing downward, it means that there is something terrible nearby, although it is not visible, but it is definitely there, so be careful and it is best to leave the area.

After this experience happened again and again, Zhao Wenrui also summed up some experience.

That is, where the sun cannot reach directly, it is often unsafe. For example, houses.

The houses here are all made of stone, and since they are inhabited by creatures about 3 meters tall, even the most ordinary ones are large houses for ordinary humans, and the foyer is often like a small canteen.

Some of these stone houses have collapsed, some have not, and those that have not collapsed have dark areas inside, and a considerable number of them seem to have problems.

As for the large buildings near the central area in the distance, Zhao Wenrui has no desire to explore at all, God knows what demons and evil things are there.

He estimated that the danger in the dark room was most likely Yin Spirit.

Cursed souls, which do not die out completely, remain in the dark, and distort into negative things over time, they are clumps of composite energy, which can be understood as nuclear radiation that does not diffuse to humans, and once touched, it will cause harm.

He tried to use a pole, carrying a homemade torch, into the darkness.

As it turned out, this was also a method, and those with problems were the ones that could be illuminated by a much smaller area, and it seemed that it was not ordinary darkness, but penetrated into the black mist.

Some even extinguish the torches, and when you take them out, it looks as if they have been extinguished by water, and the water is drenched.

Interestingly, it seems that those who have problems have 'good things' inside.

This made Zhao Wenrui realize that the ruins of this mountain city were not really unpatronized, but in the long years, everything that was easy to loot was looted.

It was almost noon, and Zhao Wenrui planned to leave.

So far, his evaluation of this world is a thriller rather than a horror movie, there are no monsters that make people start, but the more immersed in the environment here, the more creepy and heartfelt fear becomes.

He realized that if the darkness here itself would make people lose their San value, then it meant that he lost the San value last night.

If the same thing happens again tonight, then he will not survive tomorrow morning, and he will either die or go crazy.

So he had to build himself a nest where he could make a fire.

Fire is not equal to sunlight, but it is also stronger than nothing.

And the light of the fire at night will most likely attract something terrible.

At first, the witch was so bad that he had a preconceived idea, despised him, and even felt ill-intentioned, so he did not listen to her advice.

Now that I think about it, the other party clearly asked him to move around during the day, raise food, water and other necessary supplies, and find a safe nest to hide at night, which is really a good word.

However, just as he was already leaving the ruins of the mountain city, he was suddenly attracted by a strange noise.

The main reason is that the sound here is too monotonous, except for the sound of the wind, there is not even the sound of birds and mosquitoes, so the abnormal sound is very prominent.

It seemed that something was being beaten, and the beaten made a whimpering sound. Then there was the sound of thumping and slamming, like a big stick smashing.

Zhao Wenrui couldn't help but be curious, and followed the sound and sneaked closer.

Then he saw, in the corner of a temple that had collapsed a corner.

This hall is not grand in comparison, but it is not an ordinary house, it has the meaning of carving beams and paintings, and uses a lot of copper.

Let's call it copper, there are similarities in appearance and nature.

However, the copper here does not rust and seems to be some kind of extraordinary material.

He tossed all morning, and his biggest gain was a shield made of copper.

For the half-giants who originally lived here, it was a small arm shield, oval-shaped, like a rugby ball cut vertically.

But for humans, the length of this shield is almost equal to the diameter of the shield of the American team.

He compared it for a while, and felt that it was barely possible to use this thing as a small pot, if it could be concave a little more and add two erbium, it would be completely appropriate.

Because he did some simple tests on this material, it proved that it was strong, had excellent thermal conductivity, and was dense but light. At one point, he thought it was the legendary Adamantite Gold.

And in the hall in front of him, a large number of this material is used, the column base, the beam, are wrapped with it, some of them twist and fall with the collapse, Zhao Wenrui has the intention to get some to grind into knives.

But the most eye-catching thing now is that it's a weird battle.

The one who was beaten was a very peculiar monster, its rough form looked like a small rice cooker, and its fur reminded Zhao Wenrui of the Shar Pei dog he raised when he was on Earth, which was similar to that, with short hair and many wrinkled skins.

The legs are similar, the short and thick legs are about 10 centimeters, so that the overall look is Q version.

The monster's mouth is a little scary, and it really looks like the lid of a rice cooker, but a closer look reveals that its structure is similar to that of a crocodile's mouth, with a deep mouth and an overly thick jaw (if you think of the clay body as a lower jaw).

The rice cooker monster has no eyes, only two slightly curved horns on the top of the claypot-like head.

To be honest, this monster doesn't look like it was born and raised, but more like an alchemy creation.

And hit it is the tentacles, these tentacles have a gray-purple skin, like toad skin pimples, the most frightening thing is that the tentacles have a row of sharp teeth, like shark teeth are triangular shape, reminiscent of a string saw, and a tentacle has eight rows of these sharp teeth, no matter how you look at it, it gives people a terrifying and disgusting feeling.

The tentacles dance like whipping the rice cooker monster, and every time this rice cooker monster is beaten, it will make an aggrieved whimper, be pumped hard, and stick out its tongue wow.

But this guy is still stubbornly running towards the goal.

Zhao Wenrui noticed that it was a mess of things, bottles and cans, bracelets and rings, in terms of volume, far more than the body of a rice cooker monster.

And the most special thing is that on this pile of things, there is a small bone staff, which is Harry?? The level of wand used by wizards in the Potter series seems to be the leg bones of some kind of beast.

But what is more special is that there is a sphere on one of its heads, which also has this small small curved angle, and it is like an eyeball, and it is the kind that can blink, and the black pupils inside can also move up and down, left and right, giving people the feeling of a one-eyed grunting around.

"Totem!"

Zhao Wenrui understood what was going on for the first time.

Gain's Ash Oath is a totem player and has bonuses in making and using magical artifacts.

Zhao Wenrui realized that this rice cooker monster should be a pet dog-like activated dimensional box. And that eyeball cane is the totem that controls it.

Where the totem is, the dog box is there.

It's just that after understanding, new questions arise.

He can understand that the dog box is chasing the eyeball bone cane, but why is it now, and the scene of this beating happening happens to be heard by him?

After a moment, he understood.

Because the dog crate was killed, again.

This thing is obviously very rough, and a faint light can still emerge from the body from time to time, as if it is recovering. But it is not immortal after all.

The most important thing is that this guy is not very smart, he is so straight and straight to the bone eye, he knows how to go around dead things, like a boulder that he can't step over, but he has no sense of living things.

Then it caused a tentacle whip that came out of the ground, jumped all the way and beat it all the way, and then, boom!

Its core resembles a small black hole, absorbing the exploded debris and eventually disappearing.

At the same time, the eyes of the Eyeball Bone Staff were closed, and the orb became the red color of the engorged.

Obviously, it was a coincidence that he was able to encounter this incident, but more importantly, the scene of the dog box being beaten like the one he saw this time had been repeated many times in the past years.

Every once in a while, the power gathers, the dog crate reappears, and then it comes to the eyeball bone staff, then it is blasted by the tentacles, and then it enters the rebirth cooldown CD, again and again.

And he just happened to see one of them.

"It's kind of interesting!"

Zhao Wenrui naturally coveted it, not for the function of the dog box, but because he was too lonely to be alone, and wanted to have a partner who was not annoying.

As a druid, he was supposed to choose an animal companion.

But one is that the current conditions do not allow it, and the other is that he can't look down on ordinary animal companions.

At the beginning, the druid's animal companions were limited, and they could only choose badgers, rats, snakes, dogs and other ordinary small animals.

Level 4 or above, you can choose a slightly larger one, such as pythons, wolverines, wild boars, leopards, etc.

Level 7 and above will allow you to choose lions, tigers, bears, and ferocious animals.

And like the Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Giant Squid, you have to be above level 16 to choose.

In addition, druids generally do not choose Warcraft as animal companions.

But the Ash Oath can, but the conditions are also more harsh, not only the druid itself needs to meet some conditions, but also the chosen monster also needs to meet some conditions.

Animal companions grow up with the druid, and correspondingly, if they die, the druid will also be affected, and a special ritual is required before the animal companion can be re-chosen.

Zhao Wenrui doesn't plan to focus on this area at the moment, in this case, the dog box is obviously a good companion, and he may not be able to come up with such a thing if he goes to adultery himself. It can only be said that his encounter with the dog box is very fateful.

Therefore, Zhao Wenrui's exploration of the ruins did have an accident, but it was a good thing, a person, a dog, people are very special, dogs are also very special, this beginning is very classic, and it is also very fantastical......
