Downton originally planned to act like a newbie who was curious about everything and take the opportunity to observe the situation around him, but Homer stopped him.
"Rookies are always the first targets to be hunted. If you don't want to get into trouble, just put away this attitude quickly."
Downton found that this adventure was different from the time he went to the Lava Secret Realm. The atmosphere alone was much more solemn.
"Almost all of them are at the Judgment level!"
Regardless of whether they are guards or mercenaries, they all have a calm aura, a restrained demeanor, and they all exude the demeanor of a master.
"Sorry everyone, I'm late!"
A young man with a messy chicken coop haircut came over. He had a cheesy smile on his face and kept scratching his hair. A large amount of dandruff fell off, causing the people next to him to look sideways and show disgust.
"It's Mueller?"
Hu Tao knew this young man, it was Mueller who showed great power in the Spark Palace and destroyed an adventure group with a dragon's breath group.
"Cindy, seeing you makes me so happy. Please accept my proposal!"
Mueller groped around for a long time and found a piece of bitten chocolate and handed it directly to Cindy, "Please accept my gift. I have fallen in love with you since the first time I saw you."
"Get out of the way, don't make me go crazy."
Cindy waved Mueller's hand open.
The chocolate fell to the ground, but Mueller didn't mind it being dirty. He still smiled stupidly, picked it up, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it with relish.
"Hey, Downton? Do you want to come with us too?"
When Muller saw Downton, he immediately ran over. His robe was stained with oil and didn't seem to fit well. As a result, he stepped on the corner of the robe and tripped to the ground.
boom!
Mueller's nose was broken and a stream of nosebleed came out.
"Haha, what an idiot!"
The tauren laughed, and the two dwarves also looked sideways. Such idiots were rare.
Mueller sniffed the nosebleed, wiped it on his sleeve, walked to Downton and stretched out his arms to hug him.
"No need to be so enthusiastic!"
Downton quickly raised his right hand. This guy hadn't taken a shower for who knows how many days, and his body exuded a strange smell, which was very unpleasant.
"Haha, I haven't seen you for a few months, so I missed you. It was thanks to your help last time that I was able to survive."
Mill was a complete acquaintance, and he wanted to shake hands with Downton, regardless of whether his hands were dirty or would offend others.
Downton was helpless, thinking that taking away his hand would make the other party lose face, so he hesitated and was held by the other party.
His hands were all greasy, and Downton regretted not wearing a pair of gloves.
"Wow, is this the Komodo War Beast? It's so big!"
Muller approached the minotaur, ignoring their fierce gazes, and teased Komodo with a handful of grass.
"Are you a mage or a warrior?"
Seeing that Muller was wearing a mage's robe, but also carrying a two-handed sword on his back, he looked strange. The dwarf brother couldn't help but ask.
"I'm a part-time practitioner, and I know a little bit about everything." Mueller snapped his fingers, and a cluster of flames appeared on his fingers, "How about it, isn't it good? I only learned this lighting technique after practicing for a month."
Seeing the triumphant Mueller Chief couldn't stand it anymore, "Idiot, even an apprentice who can't learn the lighting technique in three days can still be classified as an idiot."
"Oh, is it so?"
Mueller scratched his hair.
"Okay. Let's go!"
Cindy interrupted everyone, stood up, patted the dirt on her butt, took out her badge and released a velociraptor.
"Everyone is here?"
Not only the chief, but also everyone else's eyes fell on the man who was the last to join the group.
This is a three-meter-tall troll. He is not as muscular as the ordinary ones, but rather thin. He has short mohawk hair, but the most eye-catching thing is the pair of big teeth sticking out of his lips.
"Yes, it's getting late, let's go!"
Cindy urged.
"Wait a minute, I don't think it's appropriate to take him with me."
The chief disagreed, because trolls are an omnivorous race and eat anything, including all kinds of humans and humanoids, which are their food rations, so basically no one likes to act with these ferocious guys.
Just as humans look down on orcs, orcs look down on trolls, ogres and other inferior intelligent natives, so the chief shows such a high profile.
"I don't eat people."
The troll explained, but the sharp teeth of its mouth were unconvincing.
"We don't want to act with him either."
The dwarf brothers spoke.
"I really don't eat people!"
The troll was afraid of being driven away, so he argued hurriedly, and even had tears in his eyes.
"Has the troll clan, which once established an empire for a thousand years, fallen into such decline?"
Homer couldn't help but lament that the troll in front of him was really too poor.
It was wearing a linen dress, with only a piece of animal skin sewn on the chest. The straw sandals on its feet exposed the toes, and you could see the calluses.
The troll's weapons are also very crude. Except for a javelin with an iron tip, the remaining six handles in the gun bag are all sharpened bamboo, which were carbonized in the campfire.
"What can this bamboo kill?"
The dwarf brothers sneered, even if they stood and were poked by the trolls, the bamboo would not be able to break their defense.
“Vote and decide!”
Cindy is very open-minded.
"I need money, a lot of money, so I have to go to the Underdark." The troll explained, very humbly, "I am willing to give you one-third of my benefit, please take me with you!"
"Let him come with us!" Hutao couldn't stand it anymore. Hearing the growl of the troll's stomach, he took out a piece of ham and handed it to him, "Eat it, no money is required."
"I do not mind."
Mueller didn't care.
Twilight said nothing, but took out some bacon and gave it to the troll, the meaning was self-evident.
"Take him with you. We don't need to take care of him anyway."
Downton sighed.
"thanks, thanks!"
The troll hurriedly thanked him. He did not eat the food immediately, but put it away.
"I have no objection, but he didn't even prepare supplies?"
The chief was helpless. Everyone present had two or three war horses to carry their luggage, but this troll was better off. It only carried a big baggage.
"I can hunt, and I can also build camps and keep vigil in exchange for food."
The troll's posture is very low.
Having said that, and besides, the life and death of the troll was none of our business, so everyone agreed that he would go with him.
"When I sleep at night, he won't bite me secretly, right?"
Along the way, the chief kept teasing the troll named Suarez and teasing him about his teeth.
"Aren't tauren very honest? Why is this guy so annoying?"
Hutao wants to beat someone up.
Cindy is a qualified guide and a competent temporary team leader who can always eliminate the team's hidden dangers in a timely manner.
After two days of travel, everyone entered the Corruption Land.
"It's so dark!"
The sky was always gray, almost like a cloudy day, and there was also drizzle. After soaking through his clothes, he felt uncomfortable. Hutao put on his cloak and sat on the back of an empty ray. He lost interest in exploring.
The only one with vitality is Suarez. He appears and disappears in the dense forest, hunting wild beasts and collecting food. No wonder the chief complained, because this guy drinks animal blood and eats raw meat. He is really a barbaric mess.
"It takes five days to get to Devil's Crack from here."
Cindy helped everyone learn about the origin of the Corrupted Land. The Demonic Cracks are filled with tiny plane cracks. The Demonic Wind blowing from the abyss polluted the surrounding environment, causing this ghostly appearance of raining all day long.
Under the blowing of the devil's wind, animals and plants all discovered some mutations. Compared with other places in the Western Land, they are larger and more ferocious. They are very aggressive.
Downton once saw an anteater foraging for food on a slope. What crawled out of the ant nest were ants the size of a baby's fist. Instead, it bit the anteater so hard that it ran away, and soon it was reduced to a skeleton.
Cindy had already prepared a kind of wormwood, and after burning it, the smoke emitted dispersed the ants in time.
Snapped!
The chief slapped the left side of his face and spread it out. There was a large pool of blood on his palm, and a mosquito body the size of a walnut was crushed to pieces.
Without Cindy's instructions, the chief quickly used a dagger to cut open the pustules and squeeze out the venom. In the morning, several minotaurs were bitten and were delayed for a few minutes. As a result, they were already swollen like steamed buns and sore.
Not only that, it makes people want to cut off the skin and flesh of the bite area.
"Don't be careless in anything you do here."
Cindy persuaded her earnestly, and at this point, the chief no longer bothered to play with Suarez for fun, because he had to pay attention to the environment at all times, and even a blade of grass could become a murderer.
Suarez was wearing straw sandals. Yesterday, his skin was scratched by a piece of grass. This morning, his entire leg turned black. Fortunately, Cindy prepared the medicine and coupled with Downton's magic, it was
Relieved the injury.
Watching the troll dragging his injured leg to find food, Downton couldn't stand it any longer, so he found a pair of suitable military boots from War Space and gave it to him.
"If you feel unwell, leave quickly, otherwise you will enter the Devil's Rift and it will be too late to leave." Cindy warned, "Don't think I am being alarmist. Why can only the Judgment level enter the Corrupted Land? Because the air here is full of
It is full of poisonous substances in the abyss. If it were not for the constitution of the Judgment level, I would have fallen ill long ago."
"What? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Downton was startled and looked at Juliet hurriedly. Fortunately, she looked very good and nothing happened.
"This is common sense." Cindy rolled her eyes, and then looked at Juliet with sudden realization, "You haven't reached the judgment level yet, have you?"
"Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to go back?"
Downton didn't care to talk to Cindy.
"I'm fine."
Juliet shook her head, "Really, I'm fine. I don't know why, but when I got here, I felt a lot more comfortable."
"It seems that your talent has exempted you from the poisonous fog here." Downton was relieved. Juliet's talent for the devil's flag was better than expected.
If Juliet hadn't needed Charlotte to treat her every few days, Downton would have really wanted to send her back.
"Hush! Silence, we are in danger!"
The chief wanted to ask more questions, but was interrupted by Cindy. (To be continued...)
