*************************************************** *************************************************
After killing the Demon Slayer and collecting the loot, we left in a hurry for fear of causing trouble.
Although the Demon Butcher's strength cannot be noticed by the three demon gods, he is still the lord of the area. If the lord of the area is defeated, I am not sure whether Big Pineapple will send someone to check on a whim, so no matter what In this way, it is best to leave here as soon as possible and leave the territory of the Three Demon Gods as soon as possible.
It’s funny. The last time I came to the hell world, I was brought here by the four demon kings. I tried desperately to escape to the territory of the three demon gods. This time, I came to the territory of the three demon gods and had to rush to the territory of the four demon kings. The territory hides from the limelight, fate really plays tricks on people.
The battle between us and the Demon Slayer was quite noisy, and we probably scared away a lot of guys. The journey couldn’t have been smoother. We didn’t even see a single monster hair. It only took us a short half a day to completely leave. This hellish place.
"According to the information obtained from the Vampire King, there should be a volcanic area next. Although it is also quite unpleasant, it is still much better than the Land of Flames."
The little fox took out the map and swung his tail, a little unhappy. Volcanoes are also annoying places. Why can't they be snow-capped mountains? It's so nice to be cool. Why don't these hell monsters know how to enjoy life?
I disagree with the idea of the little fox. Generally speaking, taking the five major regions as a comparison, the grassland environment is the best. If possible, most people will choose the grassland as a place to live. Lugao is too hot. Rust is too humid. Needless to say, the Demonic Fortress is also a place with a harsh climate in most people's minds. You can't go out in the winter, and only those who have lived there for generations will enjoy it. , especially fox-man orcs like Little Fox, whose tails and ears are covered with thick fur. If the weather is too hot, it is indeed a torture for them.
However, speaking of volcanic areas, the last time I came to the hell world, I seemed to have found a volcanic area as a refuge. I don’t know what the difference is between the two.
I was just about to tell the little fox that I was familiar with the volcanic environment and I would lead the way. However, as we were walking forward, a strong gray wind blew over and smoothly turned the little fox and I into gray beings.
"Ahem, cough, cough, what is this?" Unprepared, we immediately turned our backs to the wind and coughed repeatedly.
This is a sandstorm... No, the thing inside is not sand, but ash. The choking ash is even more disgusting than the sandstorm.
"What on earth is this...isn't it a volcanic area?" The little fox, who had never experienced such an environment, was a little confused and yelled angrily, as if he felt the deepest malice in the world.
"No, it is indeed a volcanic area, look." I pointed forward and said as the dust storm blowing in the direction weakened.
As if to echo my words, in the gray sky in the distance, filled with floating ashes, more than ten slender fire pillars suddenly spewed out, rising into the sky, and a large amount of ashes and thick smoke poured out along the fire pillars. , they are probably the murderers that dye the sky a thick gray and fill the air with dust.
Volcanoes, lots of active volcanoes.
I stroked my forehead and let out a long sigh, feeling quite tragic that I had just escaped from the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den again.
If we were to test the PM2.5 value here, I'm afraid the test instrument would explode immediately. Compared to the extremely bad air here, I would rather turn back and return to the land of flames to continue wandering.
"Be happy, I finally left the land of flames." While I smiled bitterly, I did not forget to enjoy myself in the bitterness, and winked at the little fox with a dark face.
"It's decided." The little fox looked at me, then looked ahead, and suddenly clapped his hands. Before I could react, he jumped forward, hugged me from behind, and put his arms around my waist. , face buried deep in his back.
"Just like that, rush over in one breath." The little fox, burying his face, made a roaring sound from behind, full of the aura of 'Saint Yue Xian Wolf Departure'.
"What should you do if you encounter an enemy like this?" I couldn't laugh or cry, but I couldn't bear to peel off the little fox hanging from my back.
"Anyway, you are attacking with magic, so it won't hinder anything."
"There will always be times when close combat is necessary."
"It's always possible for me to avoid this. This is a test. Give Saint Yue Xianlang a more difficult test. Don't let me live up to my hard work for you."
"Little fox, when did you learn to tell lies with open eyes?"
"It's long-winded, long-winded, hurry up and set off for this Tianhu, you've already wasted a lot of time, haven't you?"
The little fox rolled around and paused. On a whim out of boredom, she completely hugged the Saint Yue Xian Wolf's waist with her arms, and crossed her left and right forearms with ease, as if she wanted to measure the limit of the overlap length. He tightened his grip on Saint Yue Xianlang's waist, gestured with the amount of overlap, and calculated the approximate waist circumference of Saint Yue Xianlang. He suddenly froze.
"You guy, your waist is even thinner than a woman's. Damn it. Even though your breasts are so big, you're still a stinky man."
"Leave you alone?" I turned black in an instant. Even the little fox was silent and did not dare to bring up this topic again. He is soft-spoken and short-handed. He wants to rely on me to get through this volcanic area and dares to break his mouth. You can take a bite of the original volcanic ash in minutes.
So there I was, a tow bottle hanging from my waist, about to hike through a volcanic field.
It's not appropriate to call it hiking. After walking for a while, I had to fly up because the volcanic ash accumulated on the ground was knee-deep. If I walked any further, I would probably have no waist, no chest, and no head. Now, I don’t have the hobby of self-abuse, so I flew up decisively, and an egg-shaped cold blue crystal energy shield protected me inside, resisting all the ash attacks.
This is why the little fox has the shamelessness to brush up against me. The mage is good at this. He can easily do some very convenient things. The little fox himself is not unable to withstand the volcanic ash in the sky, but it will undoubtedly cost more than me. It takes several times more effort, why bother? They are not strangers, they are an old married couple.
It would be nice if she could be so thick-skinned in front of outsiders.
We were lucky. Although the little fox was a drag on me, I was ready to increase the difficulty of the battle by N levels. However, after entering the volcano area, I realized that my preparations were a bit redundant.
Because there are not many monsters here, and if you think about it, it is not surprising that the environment of the Land of Flames can produce powerful monsters with flame mutation, just like the unyielding savagery produced by Harrogath Mountain. The same clan of people.
But what kind of monster could be cultivated in this hellish place filled with volcanic ash, a guy covered in volcanic ash? Increase defense tenfold? Come on, hell monsters are intelligent too, okay?
I think the only monsters that will stay in this kind of place are those who can't survive in their own territory and come here to take refuge. In other words, this volcanic area is more like a place of refuge, a place of exile, and is surrounded by enemies. If you force a guy to hide in a place like this, think about how strong he can be? Lack of a fearless fighting spirit in the hell world is not a good thing, dear.
Along the way, we only encountered sporadic monsters, all of them alone or in groups. We never saw more than one group, which confirmed my previous guess.
Of course, there is no guarantee that there will be no strong monsters. What if there is such a masochistic hermit master? The safer the place, the less careless I can be, so I was still cautious and avoided if I could. If I was too lazy to avoid, I just threw magic at them. Those poor monsters didn't even know where the enemy was or who they were. He breathed out with a whimper.
In the end, even I couldn't bear to bully them.
With my caution, this time the quasi-tragedy emperor attribute did not come out to cause trouble. Along the way in the volcano area, let alone the area lord here, we did not encounter even a lord-level monster. It took nearly an hour In a week, we successfully passed through this volcanic area.
Seeing that the volcanic ash on the ground is getting thinner and thinner, the gray mist in the air is gradually becoming clearer, and all signs indicate that the volcanic area has been left behind us. The little fox that has been hanging around me for a week finally cheered, like a bird out of its cage. I flew out and cheered, but I got so carried away that I accidentally choked on a mouthful of original volcanic ash, then ran back dejectedly with my fox ears drooped, and hid in my energy shield.
"Then the next map is..." Giving me a stern look, the little fox pretended to take out the map and pointed at it.
"The speed is not bad. If we can keep going at this speed, we can cross the edge of the central zone and reach the territory of the Four Demon Kings in less than a month."
"Really? The speed of love is really not slow, but let's face reality first and see what the next area looks like."
"The Mist Swamp doesn't sound like a good place." The little fox glanced at the map logo and shuddered inexplicably.
After half a day's journey, we finally left the volcanic area completely and arrived at the mist swamp mentioned by the little fox. This place is truly Diablo's territory. Everything is inseparable from the word "fire" and "heat".
The dense area that appeared in front of us was emitting scalding heat that could scald the skin into blisters. What kind of mist was this? It was clearly high-temperature water vapor, okay? If the land of flames is an oven, then this place is undoubtedly a steamer.
Under the cover of hazy water vapor, the surface is wet and slippery, with bubbling mud running rampant and making a disgusting squeaking sound, as if something is about to come out and bite your heels at any time.
I stepped on the disgusting mud with the sole of my foot, and it was so light that it sank into it easily without any effort. It was so deep that I immediately gave up my intention of walking on it. I had no choice but to continue flying, even though it was more eye-catching. Some but I don't want to crawl around in this hot swamp.
Looking back, the little fox was almost crying.
"Are you okay?" I couldn't bear it, but I had no choice. I couldn't use the power of the Holy Moon Wolf to turn this place into a frozen swamp, right? Although it seems possible if you give me enough time.
"I'm fine, I'm fine, you bastard. It's just a hell world, but I can't help you." The little fox didn't know whether he mustered up the courage or broke the pot. He had already accepted his fate and rushed headlong into the vast water vapor. In the ocean, I no longer seek the protection of the magic shield of the Holy Moon Wolf.
"At least we don't have to worry about the water source in a place like this." I laughed to myself. The figure of the little fox was completely obscured by the thick water vapor. Fortunately, I had soul sensing, so I quickly followed him.
This mist swamp is no different from the previous active volcanic area. There are fewer monsters. As far as I know, there are several species that like this kind of environment. For example, there are many monsters in the huge wetland of Kurast, such as swamps. Residents, suckers, Styx monsters, etc., and maybe our old friends the dwarves. These lithe little mice are the only monsters that can walk quickly on the soft swamp, which is comparable to those who have practiced walking on the snow without leaving a trace. ,Holy crap.
There are more dwarfs, which means that the types and numbers of monsters in this area will be very rich, because dwarfs are generally at the bottom of the food chain, just like the fresh weeds of the African savannah. Believe me, for the hell clan, as long as There is food, there is struggle, there is killing, and there is still a breath of air. These high-temperature water vapor and high-temperature mire are not insurmountable things.
Not long after we entered the Mist Swamp, we were attacked by dwarfs floating on the Iron Palm Water (swamp). This also confirmed my previous guess. It seemed that our trip was not going to be easy in the Mist Swamp area. It will go well.
The little fox took the lead and quickly killed this small group of dwarfs. If they were just floating on the water, then the little fox was like a fairy from the sky. There was no comparison at all. In the blink of an eye, these dwarfs couldn't even scream. They lay down before they could speak out. The hot and bubbling swamp was like a big mouth of a python, gradually swallowing up their corpses. It seemed that we could still hear the sizzling and dissolving sounds of these corpses under the ground, and we felt a little chill in our hearts. .
Although this place is not as cruel as the environment in the Land of Fire, it adds an uneasy feeling of unknown.
Sure enough, we encountered many obstacles along the way, and various monsters appeared one after another, including the will-o'-the-wisps that frightened countless adventurers - the spirits of twilight, nicknamed electric ghosts. It becomes even more hidden under the cover of the sky, and it is even harder to guard against lightning attacks. Without a full set of equipment that increases lightning resistance, it is easy to fall into the hands of these guys.
Fortunately, the speedy little fox is actually pretty good at defeating these guys, especially the new demonic machine she got. With the crossbow loaded, once the twilight spirit appears, she will shoot it with one arrow. Ordinary twilight spirits will shoot one arrow at a time. My hands felt a little itchy when I saw it. Due to my crossbow skills, I could only give up and use magic to deal with it.
Twilight spirits are immune to lightning, and some elite lords are even immune to physical attacks. They are definitely the nemesis of melee adventurers. Fortunately, their resistance to other types of magic attacks is not that high. Use freezing magic to freeze their elusive figures. Making ice sculptures is also a pleasing thing. There are two in one, three in four, and the surroundings are soon covered with ice sculptures of the spirit of dusk. These ice sculptures have become fixed targets for the little fox to shoot them one by one with a crossbow.
Why does it feel like I'm freezing a frog... Well, don't think too much about it.
After solving these electric ghosts known as adventurer killers, we then encountered the real problem.
Questions about how to sleep outdoors...
