When everything settled down and the environment of Lugoin City was almost familiar, Lal and the others also began to think about the experience. After all, this is the business of us adventurers. Although it does not mean that it is urgent, but if It would be dangerous if you let your body relax.
The four of them gathered together to make plans. My advice to them was to go to the sewers and familiarize themselves with the strength of Lu Gaoin’s monsters. Lar is a paladin, and Doug and Goff are barbarians. If they are combined together, this team will be great. Counting most of the blood-cow team, the terrain in the sewer is still more suitable for them. Even if they encounter the most troublesome burning death skeleton archers there, if the number is not too large, Lal will step on the fire-resistant aura, and three People rush forward with flaming arrows. Once they rush into the monster group, aren't the skeleton archers with weak defense just like chopping vegetables?
In fact, such a three-person team is very unreasonable, because it lacks long-range attacks and magic attacks. A standard strong team should coordinate long-range and close-up, and both physical and magic output must reach a certain level. And like The team of melee fighters formed by Lal and the others can still thrive in the early stage when the monsters are not very strong. Once the strength of the monsters increases later, it will become difficult to move forward. This is just like some games. In the early stage, it is always easier for warriors with more blood and higher attack power to mix, but it will be different later on.
Sooner or later, this flaw in Lal's team will be brought to the surface. As for Lal's own thoughts, he thought of bringing a mercenary sword mage with him to the Kurast seaport, so as to achieve long-range and magic output. The problem is almost solved, of course, if we can find a job-changing wizard. It is undoubtedly better and more powerful than the sword mage, but after leaving the Rogge camp, it is difficult to recruit career changers. Everyone has their own team, and mutual trust and tacit understanding are also a problem.
After some consideration, Lar accepted my suggestion, but the three of them looked a little depressed. After all, they were going to drill into the sewer. Not out of necessity. Who wants to go to that damn place?
After deciding on the plan, we started to get dressed and prepare. My equipment had been repaired by Qiaxi when we returned to Rogge Camp. However, what surprised me was that the magic spell staff lost some of its durability during the repair. The upper limit made Qia Xi blush and apologize continuously. Of course, I wouldn't care about such a trivial matter. But after this time, I finally realized that future high-end equipment must still be maintained and used carefully. You can't just take it out and play around with random monsters. You must know that no matter how good a blacksmith is, the upper limit of durability will inevitably decrease with more repairs. This is why there is no so-called heirloom equipment, unless you don’t use it at all, or there is something in the equipment that cannot be destroyed. Attributes.
At this time, we were training at Lugoin's training ground, intending to get some sense before setting off. Lal and I were in a group, and Doug and Goff were in a group. These two notes. Each held two axes in their hands and attacked each other crazily, as if they were not brothers but enemies of life and death for many years. Of course, the axes were all training axes, so nothing might happen.
After cutting for a while, Gefu was defeated first. After all, unlike Doug, he did not take an extreme route. His route tended to be more balanced and varied. In this fighting style of fighting against each other, he was naturally not Doug. opponent.
As for Lal and I, being four levels higher than him, I was still suppressed by the other party. There was no way. This was the difference between a Paladin who was trained through orthodox training and a Druid who became a monk halfway. Lal was trained, no matter how ups and downs and adventures I had experienced in the past three years, I could never surpass him in combat skills so quickly.
"Wu, your progress is really amazing." Lal wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed.
"Well, although compared with me, it's still a little bit behind." Doug and Gefu also joined in after the battle. Several people seemed to remember three years ago, when the first-level rookie Druid surrounded him for the first time in his life. A monster——the spinning corpse. Compared with that time, my progress now is undoubtedly amazing.
"Hehe, that's right." I rolled my eyes at Doug who came up to me, and replied proudly. We survived the abusive training of the old drunkard, so it's natural for us to make rapid progress.
"Okay, let me try your strength. I'll be in a group with Wu later. Gefu, you can train with your elder brother." Doug touched the two axes in his hands, making a crisp sound.
Lal and I looked at each other and both smiled bitterly. The barbarian was the most unpopular opponent in combat training.
Finally, the day of departure arrived. With Aunt Sari and I seeing each other off, the three of us got into the dark sewer gate one after another. Before leaving, I gave them more teleportation scrolls and each of them stuffed a bottle of rejuvenation. Potion, as long as they don't go to Rodament's lair on the third floor of the sewer to die, the safety of the three of them is absolutely guaranteed.
After the three of them left, life became even more deserted. Even going to Aunt Sari to get food seemed to be boring. Aunt Sari was all alone, so she just moved in with me. Motherly love is strong She seems to have fallen in love with Moissa again. Speaking of which, Moissa is just a little bit older than Sarah, equally beautiful, with the same petite figure, and the same breasts..., ahem, I made a mistake. In short, I ignore both of them. Despite the huge gap in temperament and personality, the two of them still have a lot in common. Now that Sarah is gone, coupled with the fact that she lost her mother at a young age and was reduced from a princess to a maid, it is no wonder that Aunt Sari has nowhere to vent her maternal love. She takes good care of her, but Moissa doesn't seem to be too attracted to Aunt Sari. Sure enough, Sister Sharna is the only one suitable for you? You are such an untrained child.
After staying idle for more than ten days, I felt that my body had adjusted to its peak state. I also began to plan to go out to experience and upgrade, and hunt four small B-level monsters. To be honest, it’s not that I am arrogant, this mission has no meaning at all. It's challenging, but if you go well, it can be completed in up to half a year, and then take a month's boat ride to Kurast Port. See the primitive forest there, spend another year completing the mission, and go to the Demon Fortress...
Okay, dreaming time is over and it’s time to get ready.
In terms of planning, our targets are the Fangskin (Clawed Basilisk) on the second floor of the Clawed Viper Temple, and the exploding beetle (Death Beetle) in the distant oasis. These two little Bs are the two with the highest difficulty level among the six.
certainly. I did not have the idea of challenging myself, but because it is difficult, there are relatively few adventurers competing for it. In addition to these two, there is also the crazy bloody witch (hunter) in the Temple of Death. Without him, I got it in the first place. When the artifact Talasha was guarding the lacquer armor, Talasha left a message asking me to go there. After such a long time, it’s time to fulfill it.
As for the last little B. I haven't decided yet. Let’s talk about it then.
After saying hello to Marissa and Aunt Sari, I took the teleport station to the Lost City. About four or five days' journey to the southwest from the Lost City is the Viper Canyon, and the Talon Viper Temple is in the canyon. , the first target was placed here because I heard someone in the bar say that Sister Sharna seemed to have appeared here recently, and now she is a famous person in the Western Kingdom. Everyone knows the name of Queen Lu Gaoyin. She has almost become the number one gossip in the bar, and it is not difficult to find out her whereabouts.
It’s been so long since I returned to Lugao. It's time to meet her, so that my sister won't complain that I don't care about her again. I think of my sister's gentle embrace, her fragrant body breath, the sweetness of her jade lips, her long golden hair, her ocean blue eyes, her pure and beautiful face, her fiery face. Body, whip, candle, rope...
Ah...? ! Did I reveal information that I shouldn’t have disclosed?
After wandering around the bar for two days, I found out that no adventurers were planning to challenge Teeth Skin recently. My determination was immediately firmed up, but then I showed a weird smile - my sister probably didn't come here this time. Be patient, otherwise I will steal her monster again, and I don’t know how she will punish me in anger.
The Lost City is said to be a huge battlefield in ancient times. There are countless corpses buried underground here. Of course, there are also a huge amount of unowned equipment everywhere. This has created a profession that is not afraid of death - the scavenger. , this kind of profession sounds mysterious at first glance, but to be honest, it is worthless - it is just some common people who are not afraid of death and go outside the monster-infested, wind-sand-stormed city to pick up the ancient equipment left behind, the big profiteer Ai This is how the equipment in Gisna's gambling shop comes from. ***, a broken sword earned me 4,000 gold coins. You can imagine how popular this profession is, provided you are willing to risk your own life. Bo.
Just outside the city, I encountered a mighty army of scavengers. These people were afraid of death and wanted to make money, so they started working near the city. Some people lay on the sand and groped carefully, hoping to find a scavenger. Rings and necklaces are ignored by many people. Some people dig deep with shovels, always thinking that the deeper the place, the greater the chance. No matter in any era, money can always make people crazy.
After walking for about half a day, monsters began to appear, and there were fewer scavengers. Most of the scavengers who appeared here were those who did not want their lives. They continued to move forward by stepping on the corpses of their companions, either to make a fortune or to be killed by monsters. Swallowed into the stomach, or annihilated by the desert sand.
The first group of predators that appeared in my sight were a group of skeletal monsters with four arms. They were actually the binary bodies of the Sand Knights. They were the same as the relationship between the Sinking Devil and the Little Devil. Although their strength required It is stronger than the Sand Knight, but the attack method is still the same. The four broadswords will chop off the top of your head without saying a word. If there are more of them, it will really feel like the swords are falling down.
In addition to the predators, there is also the nocturnal tiger, the female hunter's dual body. She is very happy with a whip and a shield. Her attack and defense are both balanced.
The Graveyard Crawler, the binary form of the Desert Jumper, still retreats at the touch of a button and stalks from afar to harass. It is an extremely depressing attack method. It likes hiding under the sand to sneak up on passers-by. Most of those scavengers are killed by They're done.
The stone-throwing monster in the night is a binary form of stone-throwing monster. It holds a shield in one hand and throws a spear in the other. Experts have not yet figured out where the spears of these stone-throwing monsters come from. I cast it again and again, as if there is no end. Do they also have inventory boxes like us adventurers? This is indeed a question worth researching. Let the experts worry about it. It is worth mentioning. There is actually no difference in appearance between the slinger and the huntress. One holds a whip and the other holds a spear. They are indeed popular supporting characters. I suggest Blizzard to carve armor on the faces of both in future Diablo games. One carves B. To show distinction.
The last monster is called the Plague Spreader. The four-part body of the rotting corpse, like the rotting corpse, moves slowly and poses little threat to adventurers, but as the name suggests, it can spread plague. Once it gets close to a crowd, the plague can quickly spread through ordinary people. It can often wipe out all life in an entire village within a few days without any blood, and even spread to nearby villages. The harm can be said to be the greatest among all monsters.
Within the scope of the lost city. Most of the monsters are these types, but here, these monsters are not the biggest threat to adventurers. The most terrifying thing is the environment here. As the edge of the Western Kingdom, the area closest to the center of the desert, the climate here is very harsh. , the sunshine at noon can fry eggs, and the cold wind in the middle of the night can freeze the fresh urine in an instant. This temperature difference is unbearable even for adventure seekers. What's even more terrifying is the desert storm here, if it's not dealt with in time. Even job transferees can be blown away in an instant, rolled up tens of thousands of meters in the air, and suffocated to death.
Originally, when I returned to Rogge, I had already passed the halfway level of experience. After killing that hell-sinking demon, my experience level increased a lot. Therefore, after walking along the southwest direction for three days, I reached the level of 50% without any surprise. Level twenty-five, but this is not something worth celebrating. The upgraded skills are not used, the attribute points are retained, and new skills cannot be learned. The experience of moving up to the next level becomes more, and it feels like It's really quite average.
The scorching sun was in the sky, and the air on the ground expanded and distorted as if it had been burned by fire. The hot sand could be felt through the boots. The wet sweat suffocated, but was evaporated immediately. Every step he took seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. The man walking next to him Xiaoxue stuck out her scarlet tongue for a long time. This hot weather was a big burden for it, but I had no choice but to look forward to the sun setting as soon as possible and enjoy the refreshing feeling of the short dusk.
If nothing else happens, we will be able to see Viper Canyon in a day or two of walking. Well, as long as we don’t get lost, I was a bit unsure about it.
Eh? Is it a mirage? Or was his brain dizzy? Something seemed to suddenly appear not far ahead. I rubbed my eyes, cheered up and moved forward faster.
After getting closer, I confirmed that it was not my hallucination. Several tattered walls that looked like they could collapse in the wind appeared in my sight. It can be seen that these vaguely contoured walls are definitely not caused by wind and sand erosion. It is human-made.
After walking around for a while, I confirmed my idea. This place should have been a village N years ago. No, judging from its architectural structure, it looked more like a military garrison. It was just abandoned later for unknown reasons. .
I searched carefully several times again and found a few relatively complete jars. I kicked them into pieces and a few dirty silver coins fell out. Other than that, there was nothing else until the last corner...
Don't you think this sign is an eyesore? I looked at this broken wooden sign stuck in the ground and swaying alone. It was like the "No Trespassing" sign that can often be seen on the grass. The writing on it has long been corroded. Can't see clearly what is written.
What was even more suspicious was a thick "wooden board" "lying" on the ground next to the sign. This layout seemed to have been seen somewhere before. I thought hard for a while and finally realized that this was not the same as Lu Gaoyin's. Are sewer gates similar?
Inspired, I immediately opened the wooden door in the same manner, and a dark underground passage was immediately revealed. At the same time, I also got the answer I wanted.
Ancient passage.
This place is rumored to be very mysterious in bars. Because it is in the middle of the desert, trying to find it is like trying to find a ship on the vast ocean. You can't do it without some luck. According to reports, people who enter it occasionally According to the introduction of the adventurers inside, the monsters inside seem to be generally stronger, and the experience and explosion rate are also much higher. It is a good place for a team of adventurers with sufficient strength, but it is a pity that it is rare to encounter. Please, it is really difficult to find such a small place in the desert.
However, isn't the ancient road to the southeast of the lost city? Viper Canyon is in the southwest, and the angle seems to be subtly deviating from a right angle. Thinking of this, a black line suddenly appeared on my forehead.
Forget it, let’s make a mistake and go to the Ancient Road for a stroll. It’s a rare opportunity. Even if it’s not for the explosion rate and experience inside, it’s natural to escape from the summer heat. After making this decision, I took Xiaoxue, who was almost completely sunburned. He dove inside. Still soft...
