It will take a little time for Orr to fully recover, and even the posture he walked in the swamp cannot be restored at present, after all, the greedy Infinity Mannis gnawed off half of the tail of this unlucky egg giant snake in the sea of stars, even if Ningki Nanka has the same snake characteristic of "molting and rebirth", it is not so easy to recover.

But considering that unless Trancia is pushed to the end by the Jackals and needs Orr to come out and carry the banner, there is a high probability that there will be no external forces to disturb its self-healing in the future, so Murphy can confidently believe that this wave belongs to the "future can be expected".

In his plan, the Swamp Serpent will be the "ballast stone" of the Filthy Swamp Defense Line, and such a Dinghai Divine Needle must ensure that its combat state is perfect.

When the Serpent Lord returns to the Forbidden Land with his newborn baby snake, he also sends a message of gratitude to Murphy and intends to give him a "gift" with practical actions.

The right is to pay the "treatment fee".

The Legendary Serpent has its own intelligence, and although it is not very clever, it can smell the breath of the Infinity on Murphy's body, which makes it think that Murphy has taken back the Venom of the Infinity to prepare the antidote after some dangerous interaction with the crazy bastard in order to save it.

For any sane being, such a "great kindness" must be repaid.

Murphy didn't turn down the offer.

Just as players always think that if you do a mission, you must be rewarded, and the vampire has indeed paid a lot to complete this side quest of "saving the serpent", not to mention anything else, just because the relationship between the Endless and the prestige of the other astral demigods have been reduced, and the indifference and even hostility are already terrible "pay".

Reasonably, he also felt that he really needed to be "rewarded".

Not only did he and Triss go with him, but considering that Maxim was here, "those who see it" also brought Maxim and the scout Heru, who would be covered in muddy water.

Although Heru didn't contribute much, he at least helped the giant snake heal his injuries and moved his hands, so he regarded him as a newcomer who was brought by the big guy to brush up his reputation.

And Heru is currently the best scout in Transasia, and then he has been sitting in the swamp for a long time, and after his mage tower is built, it is enough for him to bring the entire swamp into psionic monitoring, even if he doesn't say anything about the giant snake, he can't hide it, so it's better to give Heru an account now.

With the skill and cunning of the young psionist from this Ring Tower, he would not be unaware of the trouble it would cause if secrets were leaked out of his path.

The four of them followed the serpent towards the swamp forbidden land, the most vegetable Heru had no wings, but he picked up a luxurious magic carpet from the ruins of the Warlock Tower, and he also had his own flying vehicle.

As Orr approached the swamp forbidden land, the other six giant snakes that had been awakened sensed the aura of their companions.

They came from all over the forbidden land, and when they saw a legendary creature appear before his eyes, Heru's jaw dropped, and he hurriedly picked up his arithmetic orb to record this rare scene.

"The legends are true! There is a population of giant snakes living in the filthy swamp, and they already have a new generation! Oh my God, this news will make the high-ups of the Tower of the Ring cheer as they seek to discover the mysteries of the world. ”

Heru exclaimed, and then said triumphantly:

"But they don't have the right to see it up close, because they don't welcome them in Transasia, and I don't welcome them!"

"Look at your little bit of interest."

Maxim whispered beside him with a straight face:

"Please behave decently and maintain your demeanor as a KPA Scout Commander! Your Excellency Heru, you are now a member of the military. ”

"Oh, okay."

Seeing General Maxim speak, Heru immediately put away his posture, which was always a little dirty, and held his head high to make a sense of majesty of "I am a super powerful archmage".

Murphy and Tracy didn't care about their conversation, the Doge and the Grand Duke were concerned about the social structure of the Serpent community, and as expected, after the return of the oldest and largest Orr, the other Serpents were obedient and bowed their proud necks in front of it as a sign of respect and obedience to Orr.

While they were dormant, Orr had been patrolling their territory in Restricted Area A, and for more than a thousand years he hadn't allowed any dangerous creatures to enter it to disturb the serpents, and that alone was enough to convince the other serpents.

What's more, the little Cavendina on Orr's head was the first descendant to be born in addition to the seven giant snakes, and the baby snake who was curious about everything and barked at the "uncles and aunts" did not understand what she meant to the population.

But children are not sensible, and adults cannot be ignorant.

Six giant serpents roared with joy around Orr, and they took turns carrying little Cavendina on their heads, like a family in the legendary biosphere for warmth, like a ritual.

They then let out some kind of call and request hissing in the direction of Murphy's levitation.

These giant snakes form "families" in groups of two, while all three families have millennial eggs waiting to hatch, and one of them also has two eggs as "twins".

Now that the "Curator" can hatch the first baby snake, it means that the remaining baby snakes will also gain new life and life after a thousand years.

This means beyond words to their species, which is infinitely endangered.

"I'd love to, my giant snake friends, but now isn't the time."

Murphy shook his head.

He didn't know if the serpent could understand it, but he explained anyway:

"War is coming!

The war between humans and gnolls is likely to involve you as well, and choosing to hatch offspring is not a good choice at this time, which means that you will devote a lot of energy to defending your young.

But I promised you that as soon as the war showed signs of an end, I would immediately put the hatching of the millennium eggs on the line. ”

The serpents were disappointed, but in the face of Cavendina Jr.'s example, they chose to trust the curator's promise, and then took the baby snake to familiarize themselves with the entire swamp ecoregion amid the majestic roar of Orr.

Orr himself took Murphy and his party in the other direction.

It was extremely fast in the muddy water, and it took less than ten minutes to reach the end of the swamp exclusion zone beneath the Dark Mountains, which was also the end of the filthy swamp, and to get there, it had to pass through the entire Area A.

But this was almost impossible to do in the past, so it can be concluded that Murphy and the others were the first outsiders to enter the area after the Fourth Black Plague.

"Whew!"

Orr's nimble head pointed in the direction of the fog beneath the mountain, and it hissed as if to say, "The thing of gratitude is there", and then didn't stop for long, as if disgusted by what was there, and bowed its head to Murphy and Tracy to thank him again, then turned and disappeared into the swamp mist around him.

It was evident that the serpent was very resistant to what existed here, and it was not even willing to stay here too long.

This filled Murphy's curiosity.

He and Triss and Maxim immediately made their way through the fog to the bottom of the mountain, followed by Heru, who saw a large hidden cavern that did not look exactly like a natural formation, but had obvious traces of excavation the day after tomorrow.

When Maxim stepped into it with a black blade in his hand, he quickly saw the "previous owner" of the cave.

"It's a gnoll! Murphy the host. ”

Maxim pulled out his black blade and reminded solemnly:

"And they're all elite gnolls of the Dark Mountains, there are quite a few of them, but they're all dead."

"This is the Hunting Praetorian Legion of the Lord of the Biting Bone, there is no doubt about it."

When Tracey saw the gnolls lying in the cave who had already returned to Hades in the passage of time, she immediately made a judgment, presumably because the distinctive "clan armor" on these gnolls proved their identity.

Although there is no such outrageous thing as everyone wearing plate armor, each of these gnolls in front of them has a very "exaggerated" armament, and they have achieved a uniform style, which is obviously not something that ordinary gnolls warlords can have.

"The number is around 500, which is consistent with the record of the fourth black plague."

Heru threw a special reconnaissance technique, throwing an unstable cloud of psionic energy into the depths of the cave, and then through the shock wave generated by the psychic energy explosion, he outlined the terrain of the entire karst cave and some obvious features of the interior with the principle of "echo".

While adjusting the frequency of the echo detection, he said to the three people around him:

"In the records of the Tower of the Ring, the clan of the King of Biting Bones was bombed from above the sky by the solar ships of the Songhai Empire, and it lost its most elite core power, but there was still a group of powerful hunting guards who escorted the King of Biting Bones out of the battlefield surrounded by all sides.

They were pursued and fled into the filthy swamp before disappearing.

This is the final whereabouts of the hunting guards, and I've heard that the remains of the Biterner King have also appeared on the battlefield of Plague Town, and it seems that the outrageous rumors that the Biterner King is not dead can finally be put to an end.

But a new problem has arisen.

Why did the absolute elite of these gnolls die here incognito? They should have enough strength to escape the serpent's pursuit and return to the Dark Mountains.

There were no obvious fatal wounds on these bodies, which is enough to prove that they did not die in battle. ”

"It seems that someone has given them an order, an order that cannot be disobeyed, and these gnolls have died here just to fulfill the order."

Murphy narrowed his eyes and said, turning to Heru and saying:

"I guess they're guarding something, can they see the deepest part of the cave?"

"Wait a minute, Lord Governor, I'll adjust."

Heru hurriedly threw out a second echo reconnaissance, this time deeper into the cave, and after a few minutes of waiting, a sweaty Heru reported:

"There's an enclosed space in the deepest part of the cave, and you're right, there's something hidden there. But there's also weird psionic energy there, and I guess it has something to do with the truth about this cave. Maybe these gnolls just 'look' dead!

Rao is a place where time flies, lives are gone, but they are still guarding the place of their mission. ”

"Then we're going to have to go in and have a look."

Murphy gave the order, and the three vampires immediately took to the air.

Maxim flew towards the bottom of the cave with Heru in both hands, and didn't touch anything that shouldn't be touched along the way, and the presence of Triss was enough to ensure that the hidden traps wouldn't be triggered.

In the deepest part of the twisted cavern, in an area that had been dug out to resemble an "altar", Murphy saw a stone bed and a pile of things that had been placed on the edge of the stone bed.

It was a full suit of armor, two weapons, a heavy shield, and a leather pouch with other weapons.

In the altar area, there is an oversized wolf lying there, seemingly the last guardian, and the wolf's bones have been weathered, but it is not difficult to see that this thing is definitely a "giant species" of its race.

"It's the mount and hunting companion of the Lord of the Bites, affectionately calling him 'Benny.'"

Tracey whispered:

"This guy is the King of Wolves in the Dark Mountains, the most trusted companion of the Lord of the Biters, and the fact that he has left it here is enough to prove that the Lord of the Biters has left behind more than just his own weapons and armor, there are other things hidden here.

But it cannot be searched.

There is a 'divine art' arranged here, which should come from the divinity of the Lord of the Hunt, which cannot be dispelled or purified, and once we touch the core of the divine art, the dead in the entire cave will probably be 'resurrected'.

This level of divine art has been detached from the level where the jackals can gather knowledge by groping around, and if the Lord of Bites could release such a divine skill with the gift of the Lord of the Hunt a hundred years ago, I can't imagine how much the divinity of the Lord of the Hunt will swell in a hundred years.

The worship and chanting of the jackals day after day have also given shape to the Lord of the Hunt, and the vibration of the subspace may truly complete the final shaping of the Lord of the Hunt in this black plague.

When the Lord of the Hunt utters his first roar in the subspace, the gnolls will truly possess their own gods, which will undoubtedly raise the intensity of this black plague to an even more brutal level.

Alas, what a bad thing one after another. ”

"So as long as we don't touch the trigger, we can take the rest with us, right?"

Murphy didn't respond immediately, he carefully looked at the altar in the depths of the cavern in front of him, frowning and observing the weapons in front of him, and after a few seconds, he turned his head and asked.

The Scarlet Witch had figured out the general principle of this magic spell, and she nodded and said:

"It's a ritual of death, and it's not hard to understand in principle, but if you want to tear it down because of the divine, you have to find a priest. You can disarm those things, and I'll remind you when the Divine Core appears.

But I think you'd better not be too greedy, the Lord of the Biting Bones is clearly a bait to punish the greedy by putting his most precious armor and weapons here.

I guess only those it chooses will be able to get the message it leaves behind without triggering the magic penalty. ”

"We should probably lock this place down permanently, master."

Maxim said solemnly:

"No matter what information the Biting King leaves behind, it shouldn't be obtained by the current gnolls!"

"Good idea."

Murphy had already walked up to the great flail and the metal scepter, and with a strange expression he reached out and grasped the steel hunting scepter, and said without looking back:

"Or maybe we could make this a real optional 'Great Vault'!

I used to be unimpressed by what the King of Biting Bones left behind, but after seeing it with my own eyes, I suddenly realized that I seemed to underestimate how rich and expensive the gift of a barbarian king who almost overturned the continent was for his descendants."

The Vampire Lord had to work hard to lift the Bone King's Hunting Scepter in his hand.

But what really made him feel the heaviness of this thing was not because it was really heavy, but because the scepter, which has been written about in the history of the races, called "Skull Crusher", was very different from the barbarian scepter that Murphy imagined.

No!

It's really not barbaric at all, and it even has a "futuristic technophobia" that Murphy and Tracey are familiar to them in terms of appearance.

The whole is round in the form of an iron rod, and the attack part composed of four armor-piercing cones is dotted at the top, and the upper, middle and lower three different modules are combined in an ingenious way, and the silver-gray appearance barely shows any assembly ports and residual screw holes, and there is a nozzle similar to a flamethrower at the top of the scepter.

Murphy didn't know where it came from, but he was sure it wasn't something that the Gnoll's civilization level could hand come up with.

The Vampire Lord relied on his "experience" in the Land of Creation to search for the handle of the steel scepter, and soon found a hidden sliding module that could be pulled, and the moment he pulled the module, the original delicate scepter immediately moved, and the top armor-piercing cone popped out and rotated at a uniform speed in the rotation of the gears.

Under the stunned gaze of Maxim and Heru, Murphy pushed the sliding template into the third mode, and the armor-piercing cone was incorporated into the staff body and a hexagonal warhammer hammer head popped out at the top of the mechanical link structure, and behind the hammer head was an exaggerated three-spout miniature rocket thruster!

"! Rocket Power Hammer! I knew it."

Murphy sighed, and instead of triggering the berserk thing, he activated the object identification, and after a few seconds, the specific information about the thing popped up in front of Murphy's eyes:

Item Description:

[The Lord of the Biting Bone never mentions his process of obtaining the Skullcrusher, he always refers to it as the supreme gift of the Lord of the Hunt, and many gnolls believe that the Skullcrusher represents a gift from the gods.]

Although this is not the case, this does not prevent the appearance of the 'Skull Crusher' on the continent one hundred and ten years ago.

The weapon's current kill list includes the Brass Dwarven King of the Hill, the Forest Elf Ranger General, and the Shadow Elf Mother and Vampire Lord, so maybe you could try to write more legends with it? 】

"Well, the shape of this thing doesn't suit my temperament."

Murphy shrugged his shoulders and threw the weapon in his hand to Maxim, who was beside him, and said:

"A few of us are busy today, and the other things of the Lord of Biting Bones can't be moved, but the armor and belongings of these corpses can be brought back. The Warriors have taken Wolfsburg, and they need great rewards, and ah, I don't need to rack my brains to design a new set for them.

You're going to war, Mark, I don't have anything to give you, so take this as my service allowance for you.

To keep a low profile, I didn't have any gifts for Adele and Femis, and the other things left behind by the King of Biting Bones really didn't fit them well. ”

"The hosts! Loyalty like mine doesn't need to be reciprocated."

"This is the legendary 'Skull Crusher'.

"Uh, yes! Why not? As the warriors bragged in the tavern that I would step into the legend when I held the legend, and use this war to rekindle the legend of the Skullbreaker! ”
