Chapter 284 The Ancient Road

When everything settled down and the environment of Lugoin City was almost familiar, Lal and the others 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 suggestion 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 sewers 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, the skeleton archers with weak defense are 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 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, warriors with more health and higher attack power are always easier to mix, but it changes later on.

Sooner or later, this flaw in Lal's team will be brought to the table. 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 you can find a job-changing wizard, it will undoubtedly be better and more powerful than a sword mage. However, it will be difficult to recruit job-changing wizards after leaving the Rogge camp. Everyone has their own

team, and mutual trust and tacit understanding are also issues.

After some consideration, Lal accepted my suggestion, but the three of them looked a little depressed. After all, they wanted to go into the sewer, and they didn't have to do it. Who would want 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 Qiaxi red-faced and kept apologizing. Of course, I wouldn't care about such a trivial matter. But after this time, I finally realized that future high-end equipment must be maintained and used with care. I can't just meet a little guy.

Just take out the monsters and play around. You must know that no matter how good a blacksmith is, the upper limit of durability will inevitably decrease with too many repairs. This is why there is no so-called heirloom equipment, unless you don't use it at all. Or equip it.

There is no way to destroy this awesome property.

At this time, we are training at Lu Gaoyin's training ground, intending to get some sense before setting off. Lal and I are in a group. Doug and Goff are in a group. These two policemen each hold two axes in their hands.

They attack each other crazily, as if they are not brothers but life-and-death enemies for many years. Of course, the axes are all training axes, so it doesn't matter what happens.

After chopping 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 opponent. There was no way. This was the difference between a Paladin who had been trained through orthodox training and a Druid who had become a monk halfway.

Trained Lal. No matter how many ups and downs and adventures I have experienced in the past three years, I will never be able to 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 think of the first-level rookie Druid who had been around him for the rest of his life three years ago.

The first monster - the spinning corpse. Compared with that time, my progress now is undoubtedly astonishing.

"Hehe, that's right." I rolled my eyes at Doug who came up to me, and replied proudly. We survived the abusive training of an old drunkard, so it's only natural that we will make rapid progress.

"Okay, let me try your strength. I'll be in a group with Wu later, and Gefu, you can train with your elder brother." Doug touched the two axes in his hands, making an iron-blooded crisp sound.

"..."

Lal and I looked at each other and laughed bitterly at the same time. The barbarian was the most unpopular opponent in the battle 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 Rodamente's lair on the third floor of the sewers 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 it, Moissa is just a little older than Sara, with the same beautiful appearance, 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 motherly love.

She takes good care of her, but Morissa doesn't seem to be too attracted to Aunt Sari. Sure enough, Sister Sharna is the only one suitable for you? You're such a poorly trained brat.

After staying idle for more than ten days, I felt that my body had adjusted to its peak state. I also started planning to go out to experience and upgrade, and hunt four mini-boss-level monsters. To be honest, it’s not that I’m arrogant, this mission has no meaning at all.

It's challenging. If everything goes well, it can be completed in up to half a year. Then take a month's boat ride to Kurast Harbor to see the virgin forest there, and then spend another year completing the task. To the Demon Fortress...

Okay, the dreaming time is over and it’s time to get ready.

In terms of planning, my goals are the Fangskin (Clawed Basilisk) on the second floor of the Clawed Viper Temple, and the beetle (Death Beetle) exploding in the distant oasis. These two mini-bosses have the highest difficulty level among the six.

of two.

Of course, I did not have the idea of ​​challenging myself, but it was just because it was difficult. Therefore, there were relatively few adventurers competing for it. In addition to these two, there was also the crazy bloody witch (hunter) in the Temple of Death. Without him, at the beginning

When I obtained the artifact Talasha's Protective Paint Armor, Talashah left a message asking me to go there. After such a long time, it was time to fulfill it.

As for the last mini-boss, I haven’t decided yet, I’ll talk about it when the time comes.

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. The Clawed Viper Temple is in the canyon.

The first target was placed here because I heard someone say in the bar that Sister Sharna seemed to have appeared here recently. She is now a famous person in the Western Kingdom, and everyone knows the name of Queen Lu Gaoyin.

No one knows, but she has almost become the number one gossip in the bar. It is not difficult to find out her whereabouts.

After returning to Lu Gaoyin for so long, it’s time to meet again, 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, and her sea-blue eyes.

, pure face, hot 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 immediately strengthened, but then I showed a weird smile - my sister probably didn't come here just for Teeth Skin.

Well. Otherwise, I don’t know how she will punish me in anger if I steal her monster again.

The Lost City is said to be a huge battlefield in ancient times. There are countless corpses buried under the ground here. Of course, there are also a huge number of ownerless equipment. This has created a profession that is not afraid of death - the scavenger. This

This profession sounds mysterious at first glance, but to be honest, it is worthless - it is just some civilians who are not afraid of death and go outside the monster-infested and wind-sand-stormed city to pick up the ancient equipment left behind.

This is how the equipment in the gambling shop comes from, nnd, a broken sword earned me 4,000 gold coins. You can imagine how popular this profession is, provided you are willing to risk your life to gamble.

Just outside the city, I encountered a huge 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 hard 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 wind and sand in the desert.

The first group of predators that appeared in my field of vision were a group of skeletal monsters with four arms. They were actually the binary entities of the Sand Knights. They were the same as the relationship between the Sinking Demon and the Little Devil. Although their strength was stronger than that of the Sand Knights,

The Earth Knights are stronger, but their attack methods are still the same. All four swords will chop off your head without saying a word. If there are more of them, it will feel like an overwhelming sword light falling down.

In addition to the predators, there is also the nocturnal tiger, the dual body of the female hunter. She is very happy with a whip and a shield, and her attack and defense are both balanced.

The Graveyard Crawler, the binary form of the Desert Jumper, still retreats at a touch and stalks from afar to harass. It is an extremely depressing attack method. It likes to hide under the sand and attack passers-by. Most of those scavengers are killed.

They were killed.

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. They throw them again and again, as if there is no end.

, do they also have inventory boxes like us adventurers? This is indeed a question worthy of research. Let the experts worry about it. It is worth mentioning that there is actually no difference in appearance between the slinger and the female hunter.

One is holding a whip and the other is holding a spear. They are indeed popular supporting characters. I suggest that Blizzard should carve an A on their faces and a B on their faces in future Diablo games to show their distinction.

The last kind of monster is called the Plague Spreader, a four-dimensional form of the rotting corpse, which is the same as the rotting corpse. It moves slowly and poses little threat to adventurers, but as the name suggests, it can spread the plague. Once it gets close to the crowd, the plague will quickly spread.

Spread by ordinary people, it can often wipe out all life in an entire village within a few days, and even spread to nearby villages. It can be said to be the greatest harm among all monsters.

Within the scope of the lost city, most of the monsters are just these types. However, 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, it is closest to the center of the desert.

The climate here is very harsh. The sunshine at noon can fry eggs. The cold wind in the middle of the night can freeze the fresh urine in an instant. Even adventurers can’t stand this temperature difference. What’s even more terrifying is the desert storm here.

If the response is not timely, even a job changer 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, I had gained a lot more experience. Therefore, after walking along the southwest direction for three days, I reached the level of

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 still

It's really average.

The scorching sun was in the sky. The air seemed to be expanded and distorted by the fire. The hot sand could be felt through the boots, and the wet sweat suffocated. But it was evaporated immediately, and every step he took seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. Walking beside him

Xiaoxue stuck out her scarlet tongue for a long time. This hot weather was a great burden for it, but I had no choice but to hope that the sun would set 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 feel a little unsure about it.

Eh? Is it a mirage? Or is my 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 fall down 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's done, but it's man-made.

After walking around the area, I confirmed my idea. This place should have been a village n years ago. No, judging from its architectural structure, it was 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.

Do sewer gates look 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, you can enter by chance.

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 to the southwest, and the angle seems to deviate slightly 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 we don’t care about 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.
Chapter completed!
