Just when Liu Ergou was at a loss......

"Ding!"

A familiar voice came to mind in Liu Ergou's mind!

A system mission that I haven't seen in a long time!

"Purpose: Explore the periphery of the Sunset Mountains and find the ruins of the ancient silver elves"

"The mission information is as follows:

"1. Enter the depths of the Sunset Mountains and search for and explore the ancient Silver Elf outpost within the map area

"2. Repair and restart the broken magic circle

(Opens as the mission progresses)

"Rewards: Essence of Life (Small), and other Exploration Gains

"Time limit: 15 days"

"The essence of life? Let's explain it in detail. ”

Liu Ergou looked at the task and asked the system casually.

"The essence of life is a visible, super-concentrated, and self-sustaining source of life energy extracted from biological materials with the help of the special technology of the ancient silver elves."

"Explained by the worldview of the master's previous life, it is a self-charging version of the Philosopher's Stone."

"Ordinary lifeforms can greatly increase their life energy by embedding life essence with sufficient carrying capacity, and some advanced lifeforms also use this as a means of evolution."

"If the life energy in the Magic Circle is continuously extracted without exceeding the limit of its release, a permanent life energy field can be created due to its self-sustaining and maintenance characteristics, and the creatures in the energy field will continue to be stimulated by growth."

"For example, if you put an apple in the field, it will grow into a bigger and bigger apple tree at a very fast rate."

Liu Ergou suddenly remembered the afforestation in his previous life!

If you use this essence of life to create a large forest on this plateau, let the root system of the plant continue to grow downward and absorb water under the stimulation of the essence of life!

In this way, not only will you produce nutritious fruits, but over time, you will grow into large forests, and you may even be able to change the climate in the vicinity!

Thinking of this, Liu Ergou couldn't hold back any longer. A few arrows rushed to Elanst, grabbed him and asked, "What's in the Sunset Mountains?!" ”

Erant, who was napping on the side, almost scared Liu Ergou out of his heart attack: "Let go!" Let go! Why do you have so much strength! Besides, what are you suddenly smoking? ”

Liu Ergou's excitement was almost carried into the air by Elantst, who was less than one and a half meters, and Bufax's eyes almost fell off!

Liu Ergou realized his gaffe at this time, and quickly put Elanster down and played haha:

"Hey...... I... It occurred to me that the place where the northern wasteland meets the Sunset Mountains was once inhabited by ancient silver elves.

If they have the ability to live for a long time, then there must be a way to get food, I think it is better to go to the Sunset Mountains and look for it, maybe there is something left......"

"Ancient Silver Elve? Where did you hear about this legend? ”

Ellanster patted his robe and asked with a puzzled expression.

"I also read about the legend of the silver elves in the Sunset Mountains from the book left by my great-great-great-grandfather

It's been more than a thousand years ago, where did you hear it in such detail? Seattle and Avril on the side also looked at Liu Ergou incomprehensibly.

"Hey...... Of course, I don't know, but I don't know why this story suddenly appeared in my memory...... Yes, it must be a gift from the god of war to me as a devout disciple."

Gift? Just like you, a sacrifice that sings a war song out of tune, it's strange that the god of war can give you a gift! Elanster rolled his eyes helplessly.

Instead, Seattle said thoughtfully: "It's possible, there have been pious sacrifices in the past who suddenly got the enlightenment of the gods, and learned the war song that I had never seen before. Liu Ergou has also received a gift from God in this situation."

With that, Seattle began to pray silently. She had seen the God of War blessing Liu Ergou with her own eyes at the ceremony, and she was naturally convinced of this.

"Look! What the god of war said by his old man must be right! Liu Ergou suddenly became proud, "It's so decided!" Let's get ready, and in a few days we'll go to the Sunset Mountains to see what happens! "Explore the Sunset Mountains!

Hearing this decision, everyone present was a little stunned.

There are two theories about the origin of the name Sunset Mountains.

The first theory is that the mountain range is so high that it casts a huge shadow on the east of the mountain range later in the day, before the sun sets.

For the tribes east of the mountain range, the sun behind the mountain range was no longer visible, but the sky was still shining with the sun's glow.

Therefore, people naturally thought that the sun was swallowed by the mountains, so they named it "Sunset Mountains".

Correspondingly, due to the reflection of the sun on the mountains that have not yet set, the large plains west of the mountains are also named "Plains on which the sun never sets".

The second theory is that according to legend, in ancient times, a devastating war broke out between the gods.

In order not to harm the planet, the gods chose to go to war in the chaos of the outer heavens.

But even so, the overly powerful power also spread to this planet, breaking the Craundo continent apart, and this is what is now the Emperor Ballo.

In the Great War of Extraterrestrial Chaos, the sun was also once knocked down into the Sunset Mountains, and legend has it that the now dry and barren northern wasteland was burned by the sun's embers.

And the huge canyon on the Sunset Mountain Range is said to be the trajectory left by the eruption of the sun at that time.

The reason why it is named Godweeping Canyon is said to be that the gods left tears of guilt after seeing the disaster they had caused, and then extinguished the eternal flame here.

Whatever the legend, though, one thing is universally recognized:

In the depths of the Sunset Mountains, there is darkness that even the sun cannot shine on.

In fact, with the exception of the Wailing Canyon, the rest of the Sunset Mountain Range has always been a forbidden place recognized by all ethnic groups.

"Don't look at me like that, okay?" was stared at by everyone's strange eyes, and Liu Ergou was also a little uncomfortable.

"I'm not crazy! We're just going to walk around the Sunset Mountains this time, and there won't be any danger...... Besides, this is the will of the god of war, and the god of war will surely bless his people. ”

Putting aside the pretense of the God of War, Liu Ergou estimated that he was just out of the novice period now, right? The system doesn't just give me a mission to save the world.

As soon as the reason for divine revelation was raised, devout believers like Seattle and Avril no longer doubted anything. And Elantster glanced at Liu Ergou, who was confident, thought about it, and didn't say anything.

As for Buffax? Just tell him where to go and kill as much as he wants.

After the battle of the Gargoyle Lord, he was as confident when he saw Liu Ergou now as Hoffman was when he saw a honeycomb.

However, having said that, it is naturally impossible to be careless in exploring such a dangerous place with a bad reputation.

Not only is there a lot of preparation to be done, but as soon as Liu Ergou, the pillar, leaves, the affairs of the territory must also be arranged in advance.

After several busy days, the day of departure finally came.

Drawing on the experience of the last time, before this departure, Liu Ergou spent two nights pouring more than a thousand magic crystals with Elanster and Seattle.

Each of them was given a magic plate engraved with a triangular defense enchantment.

Considering Hoffman and the other Bear Clans, Liu Ergou made a large one for each of them, and the painting was a five-pointed enchantment carved by Elanster himself.

In this way, at least everyone has a certain ability to protect themselves.

If necessary, you can also use the Pentagon Barrier Plate as a base to combine these small enchantments into a large defensive enchantment.

As long as the magic crystals brought are not used up, the defensive enchantment will be indestructible.

"Bufax, the safety of the family depends on you this time!"

Considering that the expedition was primarily based in the Sunset Mountains, Bufax was of little use.

Moreover, with Bufax's flying ability, once there is an accident at the forward base, it is better to go to reinforcements in time, and Liu Ergou will hand over the work left behind by Bufax.

"I'm taking Winston and half of the gargoyles on this expedition, and the other half at the forward base." Liu Ergou pointed to the map and said to Buffex.

"I left half of the magic crystal cannon and dragon hunting giant crossbow at the forward base, and the gargoyles left behind should not send them to carry things, and all of them will be put in the forward base as guards."

"If something happens, rely on the forward base to hold on, and then send someone to inform us.

If you really can't do it, you can withdraw to the territory, and the territory has a church and the protection of the god of war, so nothing should happen. ”

After a pause, Liu Ergou turned to Seattle and said, "Seattle, you will stay in the church this time, whether it is daily prayer."

Or the blessing war song in case something happens, it can't do without you. In addition, you have to guard the granary, and whoever dares to steal it, you will let Abel kick his ass. ”

"What about you...... Be careful yourself!"

Seattle is sensible, and in the current situation, Liu Ergou's arrangement is already the best choice, so she will no longer refute it.

But do you guard the granary...... Thinking of the granary key as a "token of love", Seattle's face was a little hot.

"Don't worry, boss, with me, I will definitely protect Miss Seattle's safety!"

Bufax confidently assured Liu Ergou. Then he patted Elantst's shoulder and teased him:

"It's you old guy, you're still running around when you're old, and I don't have me covering you in the sky, don't let people catch you and eat it!"

"Go aside!" Ellanster slapped Bufax's paw open, "How young are you yourself?" Flying around at both ends, be careful of the tail hair! ”

......

The reason why he brought Winston was that Liu Ergou had two considerations.

On the one hand, Winston, as the oldest of these gargoyles, seems to have some sort of commanding effect over the other gargoyles.

If you don't put him at home, the gargoyles in the house will be leaderless, and most of them won't be able to set off any storms.

Gargoyles, on the other hand, are a long-lived race, even though Winston had only lived on the outskirts of the Sunset Mountains before.

But after a long time, the old fellow must have known a lot; Take him with you, and you're more or less half a guide.

So at this moment, Liu Ergou sat on Hoffman's shoulder and asked Winston on the side, "What do you know about the ancient silver elves?" ”

Winston thought for a while, shook his head at Liu Ergou and said, "To be honest, although I am also an elder in my clan, I have never seen this so-called 'Silver Elf', and I have never even seen a few in the Elf Clan. ”

After thinking about it again, Winston added, "But if you want to talk about the creations of the elves, you can occasionally see some traces in the Sunset Mountains, such as broken stone roads, or almost rotten road monuments.

As you know, elves like to make wooden objects, so over time and no one to maintain them, these things will naturally rot. ”

That's right, Liu Ergou nodded.

"But speaking of which," said Winston, as if suddenly it occurred to him,

"I've heard from others of my clan before that deep in the Sunset Mountains, there are huge fortresses made of boulders and steel, and the contents seem to be still in motion!" "Boulders and steel? Didn't you say that the elves preferred wooden creatures? Liu Ergou was also stunned when he heard it.

"My lord, I've only heard people talk about it. Besides, this Sunset Mountain Range is so vast, it is not strange that anything appears, and it may not be the stuff of the elves. ”

Winston smiled politely and cautiously explained to Liu Ergou.

"Oh, that's right." Liu Ergou was stunned. When I see orcs, I feel wild, and when I see elves, I think of loss, and I have fallen into the mindset caused by the earth culture in my previous life.

However, Liu Ergou turned his head again and looked at Winston carefully, seeing that the old gargoyle was also a little hairy...... How can such a stone face make such a rich expression?

The world is so big, it's really amazing.

Looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, Liu Ergou, who was standing at the foot of the Sunset Mountain Range, now has a deep understanding of this sentence.

Slow, long winding streams of moist air from the sacred forest wound halfway up the mountainside, lighting up the blazing sunset as the sun sets.

The mountains below the stratus clouds faded into darkness as the sun set in the west, and above the clouds, the snow-capped peaks shone with a dazzling glow like the golden dome of the Great Temple.

The only regret is that Liu Ergou and his entourage trekked for an afternoon, which only magnified this magnificent scenery in the field of vision.

With a long yawn, Liu Ergou turned over, and then fell lightly from Hoffman's shoulder to the ground.

Behind him, the sloth bear complained dissatisfiedly: "Boss, you are too heavy!" After walking on your back for a long time, my waist is almost tired! ”

Also, Liu Ergou, who has awakened the blood of the dragon, has been greatly strengthened in all aspects of his body. And one of the significant changes is that his body size has not changed, but his weight has increased exponentially.

The current Liu Ergou is already a little heavier than a magic guide cannon.

"You're complaining a lot!" Liu Ergou smiled and scolded Hoffman, "Look at Bert, I've been carrying Avril on my back since I went out, and I haven't complained about anything until now." ”

Liu Ergou specially made a basket for Avril, who was impatient to travel long distances, and she was napping in the basket. The one with the basket on his back is naturally Bert.
