Chapter 54: The Undead
The Valley of the Dead is not a good place for many people, to use a figurative metaphor: poor mountains and bad waters.
"Ahh There was another scream, and everyone turned their helpless eyes to Miss Ruoxi, who was not very willing to let her come, but she refused, and the priest was also a profession needed in the team, so he reluctantly agreed, and it was really in the Valley of the Dead that he knew that the idea was too simple.
The Valley of the Dead is located in the southern part of the Dark Faction's Nightcity satellite city, to the north of the Taimur Snow Mountain Range. The Taimur Mountains are peculiar, it is a huge dividing line between the dark camp and the neutral camp, the southern part of the mountain range is vast and boundless, and the northern foot is strange rocky and desolate, the mountain tops are covered with snow, giant glaciers, and are home to countless rare birds and animals. Legend has it that the Valley of the Dead was the site of a great battle in the First Dream War, where countless warriors were killed and their spirits and bones were favored by necromancers, making it a paradise for undead creatures.
People who have just arrived here, the first feeling is that the valley is full of barrenness and haze, the long-dead tree trunks are scattered everywhere, in the thin mist, a few crows of crows sounded, which makes people creepy, and among the scattered gravel, some white bones can be faintly seen, I don't know whether they are left by humans or beasts.
Everyone marched along the path between the rocks to the mouth of the valley, which was quite difficult to walk, and it was very close to the valley, so everyone walked on foot, and it was not suitable for mounts to enter the valley anyway. Ruo Xi was just in the process of walking, accidentally stepped on a skull and screamed in fright, she was the most timid in the team, although the other two female mages were also weak and delicate, but in the face of these without timidity, one of them called Rose Heart's fire method, even smiled and used the staff in his hand to pick up the scared skull, waved it in front of Ruo Xi a few times, frightened Ruo Xi exclaimed again and again, and quickly hid behind the open sky.
Kaitian sighed and shook his head, and said to Ruoxi: "Little sister, you better go back to the city first, it should be okay here, it will be even more terrifying inside!" The team also has a superman as a priest, so it's no problem without you! ”
Everyone burst into laughter, especially the five soldiers hired from outside, who were even more foolish, describing the situation in the valley as hell on earth, as terrifying as it could be, and it was a pity that the little face turned white and white.
The pastor super man in the team said kindly to Ruoxi: "Ruoxi sister, it is estimated that it is quite gloomy inside, zombie undead or something is indispensable, it is not suitable for girls to enter, you still don't listen to your brother, go back first!" ”
Unexpectedly, these words inspired Ruoxi's unconvinced psychology, she snorted arrogantly, straightened her chest and shouted: "I'm not afraid, what's the big deal, Sister Rose Heart and Sister Yuyan are not afraid, I'm not afraid, I won't let you look flat!" ”
Xiao Yue turned his head and smiled, and said to Ruoxi: "Ruoxi, you don't have to be afraid, in fact, they are some bones, with so many of us in people, safety is not a big problem, and besides, your rejuvenation technique is a good skill to deal with the undead, we still have to rely on you to add state and support the scene!" As for those ugly monsters, as long as you kill them all, you don't have to be afraid! ”
Ruoxi is a nature goddess priest class, this class is similar to the nature of the priest, but the attack skills are more abundant, and the rejuvenation technique can not only heal the player's injuries, but also have strong lethality against undead monsters.
Hearing someone's encouragement, Ruoxi suddenly smiled, she pulled Kaitian's sleeve and said: "It's better to be Brother Youyun, you know how to encourage others, you look at you, you don't know how to be someone's brother!" ”
Kaitian suddenly looked helpless, isn't he still pampering his sister enough?!
If she didn't care about her bitter-faced brother, at this time she was no longer afraid of the dry bones on the roadside, and ran to play with the rose heart that had teased her just now.
Three or two steps to catch up with Xiao Yue, who was on guard and exploring the road in front, Kaitian complained in a low voice: "You Yun, why are you following her like me, you should have scared her back to the best!" ”
Xiao Yue chuckled: "Open the sky, this is just a game, after all, it is not the real world, if you can exercise your sister's will and independence here, I think it will be helpful to her life, no matter how terrifying things are, as long as you are brave to face them, then there is nothing to be afraid of!" ”
Hearing Xiao Yue's theory, Kaitian nodded silently and sighed: "It seems that I am really not suitable to be someone's brother, and it is not good to pamper her too much, You Yun, what you said makes sense!" ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Yue remembered a question: "Kaitian, why did you hire 5 berserkers, but you found me as a hunter?" No wonder Xiao Yue is puzzled, it stands to reason that even if it is hired externally, it must have a reasonable career match, and it is rare to recruit people with almost the same profession.
"My mission this time is mainly completed on the second floor of the Valley of the Dead, and there is no need to fight the boss, as long as you fight a considerable number of monsters, you can complete it, the only thing to worry about is to meet some teams that like to kill people boringly, with 5 berserkers in, others also have to weigh it, after all, the terrain there is narrow, and it is easy for berserkers to play! And Berserker's monster killing speed is also top-notch. After explaining the reason, Kaitian paused and continued: "As for why I was looking for you, at first it was a bit of the truth my sister said, after all, you are level 40, and after knowing your name, I was attracted by your fame!" ”
Xiao Yueqi said: "My reputation? ”
Kaitian glanced at Xiao Yue and said, "Of course it's your reputation, don't you know that you are a well-known figure in Feiyun and Lingyun City!" Although I am not very well-informed, I have heard of your name, and some people call you the Hunter King! I'm just surprised that a king-level person like you is actually sold in the human flesh market, so I found a good helper at a small cost! Hahaha! ”
After speaking, he laughed a few times.
Great Khan, Xiao Yue didn't know that he was actually a celebrity, at that time it was just his own unconsciousness, in the dream world, the gossip spread quickly, and the player's forum was the best gossip concentration camp, and all kinds of true and false news were full of it. There are many people who know Xiao Yue's tasks and experiences some time ago, and his strong performance like him naturally has some fame.
It's just that the title of Hunter King makes Xiao Yue feel numb all over his body, isn't this looking for someone to scold? Although there are relatively few hunter professions, there is no shortage of masters in it, how dare you dominate in the dream world? It's a shame, but fortunately the system can hide the name, otherwise it really won't be able to get out.
Kaitian looked at Xiao Yue with a gloomy face, and it felt really good to build his happiness on the pain of others, he opened his voice and shouted: "Brothers, it's coming, let's speed up, and when the task is completed, I invite everyone to have a good drink!" ”
Everyone laughed in unison, and the procession moved forward quickly.
The mouth of the Valley of the Dead was not large, and two incomparably huge black-brown rocks stood on both sides, forming an entrance of several tens of meters. And the entire valley mouth was shrouded in a thick fog, and it was impossible to see the scene inside.
However, everyone didn't pay much attention to it, after all, it was only the entrance of the first floor, Xiao Yue walked into the fog first, and the others followed.
After a distance of 5,60 meters in the fog, the front suddenly opened up.
This is a very open place, the white expanse is almost impossible to see, Xiao Yue looked around, and saw at least dozens of player teams forming teams to level up.
The exclamations of a few girls from behind, this is nothing strange, the first layer of this Valley of the Dead is also called the White Bone Plain, and the feet of Xiao Yue are covered with overlapping bones, and the entire plain is paved with these bones and beast bones, and most of the people who just come here will be scared.
With a wave of the dragon's teeth, a skeleton warrior who had just come out of the ground was cut off a few ribs by Xiao Yue, but this damage was not enough to kill it, the skeleton warrior shook a few times, and raised the bone knife in his hand, but the two warriors who caught up behind fell with heavy axes, and easily ended its small life.
Xiao Yue looked at the experience gained, Kaitian said that killing monsters in this task can get 1.5 times the experience value, and it is really good, although there are not many people, but the next large-scale monster farming will definitely be able to increase a lot of experience.
It's a pity that this task has a time limit, otherwise it won't be completed, how cool it is to keep killing monsters!
Kaitian stepped forward and patted Xiao Yue's shoulder, interrupting his extravagant thoughts.
After gathering the discharge, he followed the direction indicated on the map and went deep into the Plains of Bones.
If it weren't for the leveling teams that could be seen everywhere along the way, if there were only a few people walking on this plain, they would definitely feel very uncomfortable, and there was only a sea of white bones everywhere, and the skeleton warriors who appeared from time to time surrounded them in twos and threes, making a "Gege" running sound, and the average timid person was really not suitable to come here.
Xiao Yue didn't change to a bow and arrow, this task required killing a considerable number of high-level monsters, so he didn't waste arrows on these little minions, but just used the dragon's teeth to break away the siege of the skeleton warriors and let the warriors exert their might. However, his behavior made several hired fighters a little disdainful. 〕
The players leveling up in the Plains of Bones are basically from the dark camp, with necromancers, dark warriors, etc., necromancers like to collect babies here, and dark warriors are more comfortable dealing with level 38-40 bone shelves. When they saw Xiao Yue's team passing by, they all showed puzzled looks, and a team secretly followed behind for a long time, only to see them approaching the White Bone Altar that they stopped following. There were also one or two teams who greeted each other curiously, and only left after Kaitian's cautious and polite response, and there were basically no disputes.
But this is just the most ordinary leveling place, ordinary people will not start the battle lightly, if you go to the second floor, the situation may not be like this, especially us outsiders! Kaitian carefully reminded everyone.
Nodding, Xiao Yue looked at the white bone altar that was already vaguely visible, and blessed himself with quick action, maybe the danger started from the front.
In fact, the danger had come, and just as Xiao Yue was about to leap forward, several pairs of bone claws firmly grabbed his ankles!
Bone Cage!
