Chapter 1096 Happy!)

At the entrance to the depths of the Ushtalav Mountains, halfway up the mountainside around Longbeng Cliff, there is an explorer town called White Pigeon.

This town was originally a hunting village built by dwarf hunters from Yanjiang. Their target was a kind of one-horned sub-dragon monster called 'Red Horned Fierce Scale'. The single horn of this kind of monster has unique spiritual power.

It can be made into various psychic items, so the price is high.

It's just that this kind of monsters live deep in the mountains. The Ushtalav Mountains have a rugged terrain, as well as various poisonous insects and beasts. Unexpected weather changes are common, even for dwarf hunters who are as strong as iron.

The only way to hunt for a long time is to build a manor in the mountains, monitor the surrounding situation, and wait until the red horned beasts appear before dispatching most of them.

However, a long time ago, a big figure from the Yanjiang Dragon Worship Cult made a mistake when he broke through to the fourth energy level, intending to convert himself into a true dragon bloodline. His breakthrough failed, triggering a wave that shook the entire Ushtalaf Mountains and even

A major earthquake in the underground plate caused several peaks to collapse and the mountains to shift. The originally rugged mountain road instantly turned into a smooth ruin.

And maybe the dwarves are really the children of the earth. Their hunting village survived the incredibly violent plate movement, and the cracks in the earth stretched hundreds of meters behind the manor, tearing out a path that looked like a ferocious beast.

There are large cracks that intersect like mouths, and the center of this big crack is where the strong man from the Dragon Worship Cult broke through, and the cliff of the crack closest to the entrance is the so-called 'Dragon Collapse Cliff'.

Although the dwarf hunters survived, red-horned beasts are rarely seen in the Ushtalav Mountains where the ecosystem has undergone drastic changes. However, the dwarf hunters who were planning to find another livelihood unexpectedly discovered a white dove on their way back——

A rare, pure white pigeon from the pre-era civilization, without anything special, without any World of Warcraft bloodline or psychic power.

No one would be able to detect anything from this white dove unless they were experienced hunters who were well aware of all mountain creatures.

The first time he saw the white dove, the oldest dwarf hunter quickly made a judgment that is unimaginable for ordinary people: there is probably a 'maze' beneath the Ushtalaf Mountains! It was originally hidden deep in the earth.

It may never see the light of day, but the secret ritual of the Dragon Worship Cult shook the earth and revealed it to the world!

And this white dove flew out of that maze!

As the hunters followed the white dove's return journey, the entrance to the super giant maze [Ninazu's Deep] deep in the Ushtalav Mountains ushered in the footsteps of future generations for the first time.

To this day, the Ninazu Abyss has not yet been thoroughly explored. It is extremely vast inside, with part of its structure found in nearly half of the underground area of ​​the Ushtalav Mountains, and the deepest point can even exceed 30,000 meters. Over the years, various structures have been discovered.

Fang explorers gathered here and discovered seventeen semi-permanent underground ecosystems and two gene banks. This is obviously a very important biological sample preservation site for pre-epochal civilizations.

Likewise, it is also the largest biological weapons testing site.

In the Abyss of Ninazu, there are indeed many ordinary creatures that are weak and powerless like the original white pigeons, but there are also giant earth-type psychic insects like the Crystal Ghost Demon Insect Mother, which are comparable to the fourth energy level.

The biological weapon that was a mixture of a crystal dragon and a strange psychic beetle was so powerful that it slaughtered nearly a thousand explorers when it appeared, and used their corpses to create a large number of half-human, half-crystal 'worms'.

But this is what those explorers asked for, because in order to obtain more resources in the ruins labyrinth, the greedy Terrans chose to use the method of destroying the ruins structure to enter those 'sealed' ecological circles.

Sleeping in it, the mother of the Crystal Ghost Demon Insect that should have remained dormant awakened. After eliminating all the illegal intruders who destroyed the ruins, they returned to their slumber - after experiments, as long as they do not touch the warning areas of the maze

, do not violently destroy the maze structure, they will not wake up.

Since then, the adventurers exploring the Ninazu Abyss have become much more restrained and have adapted short-term plundering into long-term exploration. The hunter's hunting village that originally discovered it has also evolved into a groomed area like an advance base.

Many adventurers are the last stop to prepare supplies and recuperate before entering the maze.

Baige Town, Chek Kok Tavern.

This tavern is the oldest tavern in Baige Town. Its original owners were the old hunters who stayed at the hunting village and prepared to settle here. The red-horned beast head logo hanging at the door of the tavern is a real red-horned beast.

and its horns.

There are many thieves who have evil thoughts about the precious psychic materials, but they can never escape from the mountains when hunted by hunters - as evidenced by the pile of skull decorations next to the tavern.

At this time, the weather was wet and cold, and there were very few people walking in the small mountain town.

Even adventurers are reluctant to explore the maze deep in the mountains before the heavy snow closes the mountains in early winter.

However, the Chek Kok Tavern was still bustling with people, firelight flickering in the gaps in the windows, and bards playing the lute.

The sound of the piano is melodious and the singing is distant. An adventure group that has just walked out of the maze, finished exploring and made a lot of money is here to celebrate another success in life. Everyone can go back to their homes and live a good life before the heavy snow closes the mountain.

Year.

"It was really thrilling, Old Tietou, wasn't my sword good? I saved the other half of your brain from the crystal bug people!"

"Go to hell, One Eye, I'm in front just to protect you!"

"Drink, drink, don't talk about that! Cheers to the fact that we are all missing arms and legs, and we have successfully completed the mission!"

"Yes, we can make at least tens of thousands of souns this time (Gantrigam currency, one and a half times the thaler), and everyone can share more than ten thousand, which is worth a toast!"

Six adventurers with different shapes, different races, and even different levels of limbs were toasting and drinking, sweeping away the dull atmosphere brought about by the approaching depth of winter.

The elven artificer of Canaan Mor, the dwarf archer of Gantriggum, the ironborn puppet master of Yanjiang, the Khajiit psyker of the Celestial Court, the goldborn rogue of the empire, and the seaborn heavy armor of Far Shore Island.

...A team with such a complex composition and quite unconventional professions would definitely be very eye-catching in the outside world, but in the field of dungeon exploration, it is not so rare.

After all, most of the people who would stay away from home and explore dangerous labyrinths in distant places have very different personalities from their fellow racers. To put it simply, they are mentally ill.

"cheers!"

As they clinked their glasses, the other guests still in the tavern also raised their glasses in salute - this is also considered a tradition. If every successful exploration team wants to celebrate in the tavern, they must invite all the guests in the tavern to celebrate.

wine, and the guests would toast them.

On the other side of the tavern, the bard with white hair and blue eyes also smiled and sped up the tempo, turning the originally melodious country ditty from the Bosaka region into a fast tempo with a hint of excitement.

"When did that bard over there get here?"

After drinking and bragging to each other, the elf mechanic in the team noticed the bard's superb skills and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Although he loved mechanical mechanisms since he was a child and was incompatible with his peers in his family, he still received some artistic influence and knew how to appreciate the quality of playing skills. He noticed that the bard's playing music was not obtrusive and even influenced them.

At the same time, they don't have the slightest feeling of "there is music at this time", and the degree of integration becomes more incredible the more they think about it.

"I don't know." But the other companions did not have this kind of artistic ability. Some of them had begun to brag loudly about their adventures, or feast on the food and wine on the table. Only the tiger psyker seemed to notice something: "

The poet... seems to be a psychic?"

"But it's not a combat psionic power, it's just a soothing psionic power that can make people feel happy."

"I see."

After hearing this, the elf mechanic understood. It turned out to be psychic power. I thought that some kind of art master would appear in such a rural and mountainous place.

Although it is strange that a psyker would actually become a bard, Terra is full of wonders. Look, didn't the dwarf opposite also become an archer?

The only question is, why does a bard come to White Pigeon Town in winter when there are the least people? Although the adventurers here are generous, they are always willing to reward after successful adventures. Just like him, he has already

He planned to reward the other party with a few souns, and looking at the gray-gold coins in the small box next to him, he had indeed made a lot of money recently.

But it’s strange no matter how you think about it coming here at this time.

Thinking like this, the elf couldn't help but cast a sidelong glance at the bard of the White People.

Although most of his face is covered by a long pointed hat, it can be seen from just half of his profile that the bard's appearance is definitely good, his singing voice is clear and smooth, and his cyan eyes are occasionally revealed from the shadows.

It also proves that he is indeed a psychic.

Not only that, on the side of his shoulder, there is an ice-blue native goblin that is flapping its wings slightly, seeming to be intoxicated by the poet's songs - this kind of little goblin that has not completely transformed into a real goblin is basically inert.

He is smart, but he is also protected by goblins. It is really rare for little goblins like this to follow humans.

And next to the poet's boots, there is a pure black ink-like kitten... No, it's a puppy?

Blinking his eyes, the elf mechanic suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes. What he just saw was clearly a cat. Why did it suddenly turn into a puppy?

But in the next moment, the puppy turned into a kitten again. In the blink of an eye, the elf mechanic even saw the kitten thrust out a dark tentacle and grabbed an iron beetle that was scurrying around, and then

Take it back suddenly.

The clicking sound of the iron beetle being crushed was heard, and it ate happily.

He opened his eyes wide, but before he was shocked, he discovered that in the shadow behind the bard, there was actually a tall and silent knight guarding him - with that physique, that posture, that momentum, it would have been better if he hadn't noticed it.

, once discovered, even with the use of toes, you will know that the other person is not easy to mess with.

The elf mechanic turned around and poured himself a large glass of wine - he planned to pretend that he didn't see what happened.

Although there are many ragged adventurers in White Pigeon Town, those who can move deep in the Ushtalaf Mountains are at least the first level, a seemingly powerless psyker bard.

There must be guards.

It is a virtue that all seekers should abide by, not to inquire into truths which you are manifestly incapable of pursuing.

Time passed like this, with the stove crackling, the tavern noisy, and the piano playing melodiously. As the banquet gradually came to an end, the bard's tune gradually came to an end and began to play the tune most familiar to the adventurers of Northern Terra, 'Tai.

Your distant view'.

This is a ballad that originally originated in Yanjiang and was later widely spread in northern Terra. There are many variations, which can be said to be different in different places, but what remains unchanged is the praise of a pioneer named Tyr.

In the distant wilderness era, people were trapped around settlements, surrounded by ferocious beasts, poisonous insects, and harsh weather. People lacked resources, land and water, and all the necessities for continuation and survival. At first, Taiyong, who was just the son of a farmer,

The soil was built into a high platform, overlooking the other side of the wilderness - he used his eyes to see through the fog and clouds, and saw the green beyond the gray and black. He led his family through the wilderness, overcoming many dangers and countless dangers, and obtained the ancient treasure.

Finally, he came to a brand new grassland, and used the wealth brought by the treasure to build the southern city of Freyden.

In the sweet songs of bards, Tire crossed the wilderness and mountains again and again, becoming a symbol of adventure, exploration, pioneering and courage. It is the prelude to the adventurer's departure and the final chapter of the banquet to celebrate his return.

The Tyrian view in each area will add various adventures and elements due to the local bards - Tyrian in the snowfield area will have to cross the snowy mountains, discover treasures in the ice, and move in the direction of the white moss giant beasts.

To protect themselves, Tyr in the offshore area had to cross the gnawing tidal flats, avoid the crocodile dragons hunting along the river, and finally discover the treasure at the source of the spring... In short, he wanted to discover the treasure.

But this time, what the white-haired bard sang was that Tyr walked through the mountains, and finally penetrated deeper into an unknown cave in the depths of the forest, and finally found a treasure in the underground labyrinth.

As soon as the adventurers from White Pigeon Town heard this, they knew that this was their exclusive "Tiel's Overlook" in the Ushtalaf Mountains. They all burst into laughter and the atmosphere became even more lively.

"These bards are just talking nonsense. They have never been to the labyrinth, but they sing beautifully."

Seaborn Jiawei laughed. As a rare Seaborn earth sublimator, his favorite thing is to explore in deep mountain caves. He has always been proud of his experience and achievements, so naturally he looks down on these people who have not really gone deep into danger.

, but are bards who make money by singing their stories.
To be continued...
