"My dear Lord Druid, are you going to the third floor of the Temple of Death to fight for the crazy bloody witch?"
"Well..., that's right."
I tilted my head and thought about it. Tarasha asked me to go to the Temple of Death to find him, but he didn't tell me which floor he was on or in which direction. Therefore, according to ordinary people's thinking, the target would be placed on the third floor of the Temple of Death. The final lair is probably where the crazy bloody witch is. As for whether I can meet the crazy bloody witch, I don’t really care.
"What's the fight you're talking about?" I found that this desert warrior used a very interesting word, fight?
"My lord, that's it."
This desert warrior with a beard and a simple and honest face showed a clear smile. When the other party asked him how to get to the Temple of Death, he roughly guessed that this mysterious Druid master should be It was my first time to go to the Temple of Death, so it was natural not to know the rules inside.
After some explanation, I found out that the crazy bloody witch was so popular that she had to compete to catch up. The desert warrior told me that the biggest reason was because the crazy bloody witch was not only a little B, but also had a high explosion rate. It is one of the missions of Lu Gaoyin's adventurers, and there will be a gold treasure chest in its lair. Although this gold treasure chest is frequently visited by adventurers, there are usually no good things in it, but the gold treasure chest Even gold treasure chests are better than ordinary treasure chests in any case. In addition, the items dropped by the crazy bloody witch, even rare items such as gold equipment, rejuvenation potions, and rune stones, can also be obtained with a relatively high probability. It is natural to earn a crack-level gem and trigger competition among adventurers.
Of course, there will also be gold treasure chests near Rodament on the third floor of the sewers and the Sandworm Queen on the third floor of the Maggot Lair, but think about it, Rodament’s endless sea of minions, coupled with the narrow terrain . Even I was disgraced at that time. Those adventurers would simply die if they didn't form five or six teams. As for Maggot Lair, just by hearing the place name, you should be able to guess how difficult the terrain inside is, right? In comparison, the crazy bloody witch on the third floor of the Temple of Death is undoubtedly much cuter, so it is natural for her to be chased.
In order to prevent these arrogant adventurers from conflicts due to competition, the Mages Guild formulated a rule. In order to prevent cheating, the team of contenders must first register at the gate of the Temple of Death. As soon as the time comes, the fight begins. There is a magic circle at the door of the crazy bloody witch on the third floor of the Temple of Death. Only the registered adventure team can open it. The door is an organ door handed down from ancient times. Once opened and entered, it will automatically close and can only be opened again when inside. Therefore, whoever enters first will be the winner. Other adventurers can only wait for the next time.
Among them, it also includes detailed regulations such as the inability of the adventurer team from the participating location to participate in the next competition. In short. After hundreds of years of supplementary revisions, the rules of the competition have become quite complete. It is also very fair, and adventurers are happy to accept it. If they cannot win, it is only because their skills are not as good as others.
This friend also told me that the refresh time of the Crazy Bloody Witch Land is probably tomorrow, so the competition will officially begin this afternoon. If you want to participate, you have to hurry up. As for why an adventurer like him who has no strength to participate in the competition will Know so clearly. Um. Looking at the word "Bagua" flashing in his eyes, I already understood it very clearly.
After bidding farewell to this mercenary adventure team. I drove Xiaoxue to the Temple of Death quickly. To be honest, those equipment items had no appeal to me. They were just for completing the mission.
When the heat of the sun began to gradually drop, I finally saw the entrance to the Temple of Death from a distance. It was a building made of huge stones that were still the same. It was covered with simple patterns. Although it was dilapidated, it was magnificent. The majestic momentum is still undiminished. Standing at the gate, I just feel a solemn aura rushing towards me, which makes people stand upright and my steps can't help but become much lighter.
There was a figure at the door of the main hall. When I walked in, I saw this middle-aged mage wearing a robe. Although I couldn't tell his name, he looked familiar. He was probably an official in the Mage Guild. Anyway, I am an old acquaintance and regular customer of the guild. Yes, it’s not surprising that I have an impression.
The mage was obviously startled when he saw me, and then laughed: "It turns out to be Lord Fan."
I nodded with a smile, looked around but found no one, so I asked, "Has the fight started yet?"
"Yes, it started two hours ago, but this time with Lord Fan here, they probably have no hope." The middle-aged mage patted a lot of horses, but he saw that he was not cheating. The look in his eyes suggested that he probably knew something about my deeds.
"Haha, I hope so, then I have to go in quickly." I said with a smile.
"Is this your first time to participate, Mr. Fan?" the middle-aged mage asked after he helped me register.
Seeing me nodding, he mysteriously took out an animal skin scroll from his arms: "Sir, the people participating in the competition this time are all veterans, and they already know the Temple of Death. Your Excellency, take this, and this competition will be completed." That’s fair.”
I unfolded the animal skin. Although I had roughly guessed what it was, at first glance, I still smiled in surprise - it was a map of the Temple of Death, with many text symbols densely marked on it, including the most recent Several passages, what monsters will appear in that area, etc. are all explained. With this map, it will be difficult for me, a road addict, to get lost.
"Thanks, brother." I smiled heartily, took out two broken gems and stuffed them in, and stepped into the temple before he could react. The dangers are fighting inside. Their enemies are a group of well-equipped skeleton undead warriors. Behind these undead warriors, several huge mummies stand in the corner. Their ferocious appearance is somewhat similar to Rodament. The weapons released from their hands The black light group resurrected the skeletons that had been dismantled by the adventurers.
But this pair of adventurers seemed to be very experienced. They formed a formation without haste, forced or dispersed the undead warriors in front, and very patiently moved towards the giant mummy behind them step by step.
The one at the front was a paladin, who pressed his hard shield against the front. Blocked most of the undead warrior's attacks, and then withdrew the shield for a moment. The long sword in the other hand turned into several rays of light and shadow and slashed at the three undead warriors in front.
The second level combat skill of the Paladin - White Heat, has the effect of increasing the attack speed and attacking multiple nearby enemies at the same time.
After the sword light passed, the Paladin waved his shield and immediately smashed the undead warrior at the front into a pile of bones. This was the Paladin's first-level combat skill - heavy blow, blocking the shield in front. The paladin continued to advance and repeated it after the skill cooled down. Although it was boring, the paladin did not show any impatience in his eyes. His meticulous demeanor and skillful and precise movements, just like his profession, give people a sense of calm and security.
On both sides of the paladin are two ghost wolves. These ghost wolves, which are about one meter tall, are less than half the size of Xiaoxue, and their attributes are even more incomparable. But it is barely enough to deal with the attacks of the undead warriors. Under their feet, a poisonous flower vine emerges from time to time. The poison attack has limited damage to the skeleton, but it can interfere with the enemy's attack. As the master of the summoned object, the female druid is condensing a blazing flame in her hand. The rock ball, the moment she knocked out the formed molten rock, the Paladin dodged it without any reminder. The rock ball with high-temperature flames immediately burned the skeleton in front of it into ashes.
In the middle is an assassin. Use your flexible body to maximize your martial arts skills. The second-level trap skill ---- Lightning Net, which is thrown from the hand from time to time, arranges the passage ahead into a lightning death zone. After being greeted by the Lightning Net, the life of the undead warrior has less than half, which greatly reduces the final risk. The burden on the paladin ahead is that the assassin has not yet reached level 24. Otherwise, his third level trap skill - flame resurgence, would definitely be the nemesis of these huge and fragile skulls.
In addition to these three people, there is also a Rogge Archer and a Desert Warrior. The existence of the Rogge Archer makes up for the shortcomings of the team's lack of long-range attack power, while the Desert Warrior is the rearguard, which changes the team's defense. Got to be stronger.
After grinding for more than ten minutes, the five-man adventure team finally broke through the blockade of the undead warriors and quickly approached the two giant mummies. These two giant mummies are called hollow corpse monsters. Their relationship with Rodament is that Just like the relationship between the Sinking Demon Wizard and Bisu Bosu, an ordinary monster and a small B are actually the same type. Apart from thick blood and high physical defense, these hollow zombie monsters have no outstanding abilities. The biggest feature is that it can resurrect undead monsters. When paired with numerous undead warriors, it's like a bastard and a mung bean. It's a perfect match.
Just when the hollow corpse monster was within reach and everyone couldn't help but smile, a sudden change occurred. From the gaps in the ceiling above their heads, several groups of dark shadows suddenly fell. These black shadows had the shape of bats. , its wings were half a meter long, and there were faint flashes of lightning all over the body. The flapping wings were terrifying. The paladin walking at the front was unnoticed and was bitten by two of the bats. His whole body suddenly trembled. He was so desperate that he entered a state of paralysis.
"Dear..." The female Druid suddenly exclaimed. The two ghost wolves blocked the bats in an instant, and the Paladin's paralysis did not last long. With his defense, the attacks of these bats could not be attacked. It's not a big problem, the female druid is in chaos if she cares.
"Ihana, dear, I'm fine, oh, these damn Desert Wings." The paladin waved his sword angrily, slashing the bats until they screamed. He actually embarrassed himself in front of his wife. This The feud has become serious.
After a while, these lightning bats named Desert Wings fell under the siege of everyone. When they came to their senses, the hollow zombie monster cunningly took advantage of this moment to take a few steps back, and the undead warriors surrounded them again. Coming over, everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly - we have to keep grinding!
When the two hollow zombie monsters finally fell, the undead warriors without their backbone dispersed in fear. Under the fierce attack of the five people, only three or two escaped.
"I'm exhausted." The assassin, who had been fighting hard for a long time, could no longer care about his image and sat down on the ground and complained. The hard-working Paladins and Desert Warriors were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, and two ladies - female druids. Archers and Roger were resting aside.
"***, Lu Gaoyin's monsters are too cunning." The assassin complained endlessly, and now he recalled how cute the monsters in Rogge's camp were.
"Marton, if you complain now, the road ahead will be even more difficult." After hearing his words, the Paladin smiled and threw a bottle of light life potion he had just picked up.
"Dhruv. Don't you think so? Think about the appearance of those Desert Wings. The monsters actually know how to use tactics." The assassin rolled his eyes and drank the life potion carelessly.
"Marton, your idea is not advisable. Monsters are smart, yes, but they are still far behind us humans. The biggest reason is that we have adapted to the monsters in Rogge's camp. We take it too much for granted, otherwise You won’t fall for such a simple trick. Instead of complaining, it’s better to reflect on your own wrong consciousness.”
The assassin, who was rendered speechless by the paladin's preaching, snorted in shame and went to a corner alone to continue chattering.
This team of adventurers was exactly the three-person team of Dhruv, Ihana, and Marton from Rogge's camp. The difference from Lal and others was that they realized that there was a shortage of manpower in the team. Yihana hired a Rogue archer to supplement the team's long-range attack problem, while Dhruv hired desert warriors in Lugoin to enhance the team's defense. With the remaining quota of Marton, after everyone's consultation, it was decided to hire a mage in Kurast to increase the team's magical attack power. Now the team has increased to five people, leaving the already strong Dhruv team Going a step further, he has already made quite a name for himself in Lu Gaoyin.
After taking a short rest, the five people continued to follow up. There were many powerful adventure teams participating in this competition, so they couldn't help but relax. After solving a wave of spear cats (the first body of the slinger). Marton, who was exploring the road ahead, suddenly stopped, turned around and gestured to everyone from afar - he found other adventurer teams ahead.
Wait until you turn a corner. In front is a corridor with stone pillars, and at the end of the corridor is a bifurcated road. This is the most common road type in the Temple of Death.
At this time, four people were surrounding the center of the corridor. One of them was squatting underground, wondering what he was doing.
"Sark, what happened?" Although they were a competing team, Dhruv still greeted them enthusiastically. This adventurous team suddenly appeared and he had a good relationship with him.
"So it's you, come and have a look."
The guy named Thacker who squatted down was also a paladin and seemed to be the captain of the adventure team. He turned back to look at Dhruv and replied with a smile.
The five people moved forward curiously, and then discovered an astonishing scene.
Starting from the place where the paladin named Thacker crouched, a scorched black mark appeared on the ground, extending to the end of the corridor, on the wall that was reinforced by magic and said to be unable to shake even the tenth-level fireball of the mage. A big hole was made.
There is still a turbulent energy breath in the air. Combined with the scorched black mark on the ground and the big hole on the wall at the end, even a fool can guess that this should be caused by a similar energy attack of some kind of skill.
The question is which professional skill has such great power. Judging from the traces, it is a bit like the Necromancer’s fourth-level skill——Bone Spear, but no matter how powerful the bone spear is, because of its own energy attribute , and it is impossible to leave a scorch mark on the ground!
"What exactly caused this?" Dhruv also learned to squat down and gently stroked the scorch mark with his fingers. The residual warmth from his fingertips confirmed that the scorch mark was created not long ago. , the owner might still be nearby.
"Look -" Thacker, who had been studying for a long time, stood up and pointed to a large pile of broken bones that were almost broken into powder not far ahead.
"Originally, this corridor was occupied by undead warriors and hollow zombie monsters. Let's regard this blow as an energy cannon. This energy cannon hit will kill most of the undead warriors instantly, and then here , should be the location of the hollow zombie monster. According to the number of undead warriors, this hollow zombie monster is likely to be the leader or even an elite level..." He pointed to several directions and talked about it, as if he had watched it with his own eyes.
Dhruv did not speak, but listened quietly to Thacker's explanation. He and Thacker were students from the same training camp, so he naturally knew that Thacker was much better than him in combat analysis.
"So, the target of this energy cannon should be the hollow zombie monster, and judging from the traces left on the wall, it is likely to be an instant kill." After finishing speaking, Thacker himself shook his head in disbelief. , one move will prevent the hollow zombie monsters with high health and thickness, and at least the boss or above, to be killed instantly. It is impossible, unless it is a master from Harrogas.
"Any clues?" Dhruv looked at Thacker closely. From his every move, he could tell that Thacker must have understood something.
"I don't dare to make a conclusion either."
Thacker shrugged his shoulders: "But I just met another group of adventurers, and they said they seemed to have seen a giant white wolf, but it just passed by briefly, and they couldn't see it clearly."
"A giant white wolf?" Dhruv was stunned, and looked at each other with Thacker. They thought of something at the same time, and both smiled bitterly.
"Are you still planning to continue this fight?" Dhruv patted Thacker on the shoulder and said with concern.
"Of course I will keep going, although the hope is slim, what about you?"
"I'm not going to waste my time. I'd better go back to the stone tomb and see if the crawling appearance has appeared. Old man, I'm not looking down on you. With that kind of monster around, you have no hope at all." Dhruv laughed. got up.
"Then think of it as leveling up." Thacker shrugged, seemingly not objecting to Dhruv's statement.
After chatting for a while, the two adventure teams separated at the fork in the road. At this time, the Desert Warrior, who had been curious from the beginning, finally came up to him. He was transferred to level up in Lu Gaoyin. What happened at Rogge Camp? Of course it's not very clear.
"Boss, what were you talking about just now? Why can't I understand?" the naive desert warrior asked, rubbing his head.
"Big man, do you remember what I told you about Rogge's camp? You should know that Lady Sharna also has a younger brother."
"Of course I remember this." When talking about Sharna, the desert warrior's face was filled with admiration.
"I have also heard of Lady Sharna's younger brother. It is said that he is as strong as Lady Sharna, but I don't believe it. It's probably just an exaggeration." He shook his head and had seen Sharna in the ring. With such a body, the Desert Warriors didn't think anyone else could compare with Queen Lu Gaoyin.
"After seeing the scorch mark just now, do you still think so?" Dhruv smiled meaningfully.
"You mean..." At this time, the desert warrior's eyes widened. After a long time, he added his lips and asked carefully.
"What kind of person is that gentleman?"
"What kind of person?" Dhruv hesitated. Integrity? brave? Kind? evil? It seems impossible to tell.
"He's a good person." After a long while, he answered decisively.
