The result was unexpectedly smooth, until I encountered a very strong and thick prison wall, which made my teeth weak because of the impact, and I finally made a crack that I could barely get through by leaning sideways.

Then, he faced hundreds of pairs of pupils inside, surrounding a bonfire and glowing with different colors.

Oh, there are so many people here, how about a party?

My eyes fell on the center of this huge cell, where a bonfire was burning. When I looked carefully, I saw that it was not a bonfire, but an upright arched portal.

Bingo, we found the right place, but where is the restroom we promised?

From this point of view, this should indeed be the scene after the training site was developed in the real world. The original toilet should have been filled in by the Horadric people, otherwise an adventurer passed by here and unearthed the peculiarities of the Horadric tribe.

Taste, it would be a shame to be nicknamed a toilet nation.

These are all details. What really surprised me was that the portal was activated. The red energy portal looked like a blazing flame, which made me mistakenly think that these guys were having fun in the cell and having a barbecue.

Party.

In this case, there's nothing to say, he's just a gatekeeper, he'll die.

His eyes fell on an unusually tall figure near the portal, half a height taller than an ordinary sand knight. Each of its four skeletal arms held four reddish knives, one more than a certain green-haired man.

It's a pity that the combat effectiveness is far behind.

It should be the Eye of Fire, the mini-boss on the third floor of the prison. I was thinking that I was the first to kill this projection... uh, I remember, it was probably Old Man Farah who took it down. I didn't know about it at the time.

I later learned the name in a bar. The mini-boss in each area are a long-lasting topic that adventurers talk about. As an adventurer, even if you have never encountered them, you cannot understand them.

Flame strengthening, especially fast.

Even if you don't endorse the attributes of these two bosses of Eye of Fire, you can still see it by looking at the bright red blade that seems to be covered with a layer of flames, and the moving speed that is like a ghost compared to ordinary sand knights.

But it's useless. Why should my big ax gang be afraid of a small skeleton?

With a low roar, he held the small blue hand ax high, rushed up and swiped it a few times, and fought vigorously with the four flaming swords. In the end, our skills were superior and we easily beheaded the enemy general under his horse.

Seeing that something was wrong with the Eye of Fire's state before his death, I quickly jumped on the food like a vicious dog and avoided it from a distance. Then a strong heat wave exploded from behind, and I was thrown away again. I rolled on the ground for more than ten meters before stopping.

Looking back, I saw the Eye of Fire self-destructing on the spot, leaving not even ashes behind, and taking many of its younger brothers with it to hell.

Enemies with enhanced fire attributes cannot afford to be hurt. Fortunately, the portal is fine, and the prison is fine as well. It was just a little bit blackened by the blast. No wonder the walls here are extra thick. It was originally designed to prevent this attack.

After dealing with the remaining monsters and looking for the loot blown away by the explosion, I worked for a while. God finally heard my resentment and gave me a new weapon.

A blue double-edged ax.

It seems that he wants me to use the ax to help the leader to the end.

In any case, the attack power of the ax is still good, and the durability is also good. In the novice stage, apart from the unscientific damage caused by the paladin's scepter, it can be regarded as a must-have weapon for melee output team members.

When my eyes fell on the portal, I breathed a sigh of relief again. Fortunately, it was activated. I remember that activating the portal seemed to require a flawless gem. I don't have such advanced gadgets now. If it is not activated,

All we can do is turn back... no, we can just tear up the scroll back to the city.

Wait, let's talk about it the other way around...

My eyes fell on the top of the portal, the center of the Horadric symbol.

In other words, if I could get a flawless gem and let me give up on the Duriel route...the flawless gem is comparable to a piece of golden equipment...no, the value is much greater than the initial golden equipment.

And when I killed Duriel, a low-level gold equipment dropped on me...

The more I thought about it, the brighter my eyes became, so I took action.

Duriel, goodbye, don't miss me.

As a result, before his hand even touched the Horadric symbol, it was bounced away.

Flicking my wrist in frustration, I muttered to myself, yes, I would think so, and so would other adventurers. How could the Alliance not take precautions? I just didn’t expect that this guy Evelina would always be there.

Where you should pay attention to details, restore the details in a special way.

Giving up the plan of digging out gems, I stepped into the red energy portal and came to a bright void.

The Mysterious Sanctuary has now become a holy land for maze enthusiasts to experience, because its exit will always move at the end of the four maze passages in the southeast, northwest and northwest directions. Of course, there will be a certain cooling time after each change of position, otherwise

An adventurer with little luck may not be able to find an exit for the rest of his life.

As for why this happens and why we do this, we can only ask the mages of the ancient Horadric tribe to see how miserable they are.

When our group of four elders came here, thanks to the guidance of Akara's great eye, there was no possibility of going wrong. Now, I have to rely on my great first... ahem, sixth sense,

Find the right direction at a glance.

A few days later, I guessed the right path, and successfully met the second gatekeeper, the mini-boss summoner. His true identity was Tarasha's student Horasan, and he was also a sad and tragic figure. Finally,

Got killed by me.

At this time, what was standing in front of me was just the projection of Horasson, so there was no need to worry about it. This guy was a despicable master, and he made the only way forward so narrow that people could only stand against it.

I rushed over with its magical bombardment and stepped on the sea of ​​​​fire it released. Fortunately, I am a druid who is relatively thick-skinned. I had nothing to say when I got closer. I saw this shiny new ax in my hand.

Is the ax blade sharp enough? Is the handle thick enough? For such a big watermelon, it will break into pieces with a pia.

I thought that as an African, my first golden equipment would either be found on Duriel, or if I was unluckier, I might have to find it on a model worker.

Unexpectedly, the golden equipment came faster than I thought. Horason exploded one for me, which made me reconfirm that he was actually a good comrade lurking in the enemy army. The same thing happened to the person who killed it back then. It was enough for me.

He acquired two artifacts, both of which are one of Tarasha's authentic artifact kits, and the same is the Rod of Penance made by himself. Now in Tia's hands, the cultivation of the Ice and Fire Dragons is going smoothly, and they already have pseudo-domain level strength, but

I am still very afraid of little ghosts, and will change from dragon to insect when I see them. I am very timid and not very ambitious.

What Horason lost was a piece of golden heavy boots with mediocre attributes, much better than the white leather boots he was wearing.

After putting on the golden heavy boots, I jumped around a few times. I felt like I had upgraded from Adi King to Jai Alai, and I was quite happy.

Now that you have the first piece of golden equipment, can the second piece be far behind? Please keep this flag in mind.

After giving myself a sip of anti-toxic milk, I resolutely passed through the also activated portal, and the next moment, I returned to the desert.

Deep in the desert, which is much hotter than the Western Kingdom, and a place where it is difficult for ordinary people to survive, there lives a thunderous and famous race of wizards, the Horadric tribe.

Just standing on the teleport station for a short while, my eyes were almost blinded by the poisonous sun. Horadric City was not far from the teleport station. After walking a few steps, I saw something from a distance...

Uh, a small village.

This timeline is a bit confusing. Isn’t this the small Horadric village at the beginning? What about the Horadric city with its own magic central air-conditioning system?!

All in all, my plan of plundering Horadric City, which I had been secretly planning for a long time, failed once again to Evelina's carefulness in insignificant areas. You must know the reason why Horadric City became so prosperous later.

One important reason is that there are a large number of magic shops here, including potions, weapons, equipment, materials often used by adventurers, and many unique products that are not sold elsewhere.

As a result, Horadric City disappeared and turned back into that small, dilapidated village. In this isolated village, even Her Royal Highness the Princess had to wear a tube top made of animal skin and tight shorts (although it was very suitable and super short).

Sexy), she sold her body to me with just a mage robe, how could there be any store.

Only their central library stands tall in the center of the village square, as if Evelina was trying to remind me that young people should read more and daydream less.

Sticking out my tongue like a dead dog, I breathed in the hot air that seemed to scorch my lungs. Under the scorching sun, I lost a lot of water in my body, always reminding me that it's time to sleep...ah, I can't fall asleep at this time.

I really can’t get up, you bastard!

It's strange, I wasn't that embarrassed back then. Could it be because my level has become lower?

In any case, let's rest for a while, wait until noon, and then set off when the sun is about to go down to look for Tarasha's ancient tomb.

But I don’t know if it will be so smooth this time. In the past, it was because Tia led the way. To be honest, I was completely led by this little girl. Although I was still a simple little girl who didn’t know the world at the time, I should

Although she was careful, she already had it. She clearly felt that she was the leader and the protagonist along the way. Looking back now, she has been silently guiding the arrangement of rest and travel time, as well as the route forward, calmly and without any emotion.

Being in the limelight and wearing an innocent and energetic smile gradually made me fall in love...

She has a simple and delicate mind, an innocent personality, bold and clever methods, a smart and calm mind, a tall and sexy figure, a strong ability to act that ignores worldly constraints, and a superb will that is never discouraged. Of course, the most irresistible thing is the fullness of

The vitality of the smile and the invincible appeal brought by it. Such a scary little girl is fortunately our wife. If she were an enemy, I'm afraid... well, she has already surrendered to the enemy.

Okay, that’s it for thinking about little girl Tia. Let me recall, which is the correct Tarasha Tomb? If I remember correctly, there are seven Tarasha Tombs in total, and only one is

The location of the target, this is nonsense. Duriel doesn't know how to clone, so of course he can only stay in one of the ancient tombs. There should be a windmill-like sign next to the entrance, so he is the real owner.

As for whether Evelina will have a bad idea and change the correct location to another ancient tomb, such as the one marked by the triangle or the one marked by the square, then I have no choice but to trust its integrity for once.

In the depths of the desert with a cruel climate, there is really not much time to use. It is too hot during the day, too cold at night, and there are sandstorms from time to time. It is difficult for the Horadric people to live miserable lives in such a place for thousands of years.

After resting until the afternoon, and seeing that the sun was no longer so fierce, I immediately set off, leaving the village and setting foot in Warlock Canyon deeper in the desert, looking for the legendary Tomb of Tarasha.

As the penultimate area of ​​the Western Kingdom experience area, there is no doubt that there are a lot of monsters here, and there are various upgraded versions, such as the sandworm's second advanced body devourer, which has its own discharge attribute, which is the most troublesome for adventurers.

scarab, as well as the two-tailed Hellcat, the evolution of the giant beast, the Crusher, the Hell Slinger, the Vulture Demon, and the indispensable Skeleton Monster, etc.

For me, it’s not about how difficult or powerful these monsters are, but more about the limitations and influences of the environment. Under the scorching sun, stepping on the hot sand, I really don’t want to tangle with these monsters, but I want to avoid them.

Group, it is not easy to find a relatively safe road. After all, the desert has a good view, and people can spot you from a long way away. What can you do to give away experience from thousands of miles away?

I remembered Tia again. She took me around many monsters back then. That must be the safest route.

Anyway, I forgot the direction, so I just let everything happen. Fortunately, the Warlock Canyon area is a basin-like place. You don’t have to worry about going out and getting lost in the desert. At worst, I will go through the entire canyon. If you spend more time, you can always find it.

Anyway, the location of the ancient tomb is better than finding the six mini-bosses. I only need to find Duriel.

However, there are too few hours available in a day. The sun has just come out in the early morning, and the extreme cold at night has not yet been dispelled, so we have to get up and go on the road. After about three hours, the sun as big as a brazier begins to show its power, so we can only find a shade.

I took shelter somewhere and waited until the heat wave began to dissipate in the afternoon. After walking for another three or four hours, night fell and the freezing sandstorm began to rage again.

In other words, there are only six or seven hours in a day and I can barely travel. It is very unfriendly to a speedrunner like me. It is indeed the depths of the desert. Fortunately, adventurers have inventory and can bring a lot of drinking water and life-saving items.

Scroll of return to the city, otherwise I would not dare to wander around in such a place.

A few days later, when I was almost out of shape from the sun, I finally found an ancient burial site. At first I thought it was dizzy, hallucinating, or a mirage. After all, it’s a desert, and you have to follow scientific rules. You don’t trigger a

Mirage plot, are you embarrassed to say that you have stayed in the desert?

However, when I got closer to the entrance of the ancient tomb, I realized that it was not an illusion or a mirage, but the real thing.

Moreover, a faint windmill mark was found on the collapsed stone pillar next to the entrance.

My mood at this moment can only be described in one word.
Chapter completed!
