Luo Ling left the Temple of the Dead and his home, heading toward the northeast like a thunderbird looking for food in the cold winter. The daily necessities at home had been exhausted, so buying food was his main purpose of going out this time.
one.
Now the entire Luo family only has more than 300 palladium, all in Luo Ling's pocket. Therefore, hunting is also an essential part of this trip.
The climate is minus 47 degrees Celsius, so cold that water drops turn into ice. There is no snow, no wind, and the vast and lonely wilderness. Occasionally, you can see the cracks in the space that emit red light, like a small stove fire during a picnic, with a faint smoke rising.
Distorting the surrounding air.
Almost all survivors know that you cannot rely on this kind of space rift for warmth. They are the environment modifiers used by demons to spread all over the world. The highly toxic substances that are constantly leaking can be combined with certain substances in this world to produce
Magic energy is called "magic fertilizer" by some people. Some people also call it "devil shit" more vividly.
Luo Ling was wearing a slate gray leather coat, a set of bone half-armor, and holding a long-handled scythe in his hand. He looked a bit like a modern technological version of the barbarian warriors who lived in the snowy tundra of Northern Europe.
The leather jacket is made of Warcraft synthetic leather, with a uniform thickness of 3cm and a very light weight. A one-piece suit only weighs 1.5kg. The inner layer of the leather jacket is attached with a mesh filter layer, which is paired with a special tight-fitting combat uniform to absorb sweat and be breathable.
The effect of thermal insulation.
Bone half-armor constitutes the main body of protection, consisting of chest, shoulders, arms, leg armor and helmet. According to the unified specifications of currently popular armor, it is a simplified light armor, characterized by being thin, light and with a small protective area.
The long-handled scythe is also specially made. The long handle as thick as a spade is the leg bone of the Spear-Legged Demon. The scythe head at the top is polished from the shoulder blade of the Blade Demon. Even the light linen densely wrapped on the scythe handle is
The colored strips are all woven from the hair of the whip-haired devil.
Not even one gram of metal material is used, and even some of the instruments inside the helmet are made of bone and resin materials. This is U-series armor, a set of non-standard summoner equipment. The reason why it is called non-standard
, because among every hundred summoners, 95 use magic weapons, magic weapons and other long-range attack weapons, and only 5% belong to other categories, including melee combat summoners - Demon Blade Users
.
Demon Blade Users are divided into two categories, Demon Double Kill and Demon Enhancement. To put it simply, the former is to attack and kill together with the summoned combat monsters, while the latter is to summon mainly auxiliary monsters with buffs (persistence).
Beneficial magic) to the magic blade user, and debuffs the attack target (curses and other types of continuous debuff magic).
Summoners are like warlocks in DND. They are very particular about talents, and they are dual-standard talents. One is spiritual power, and the other is affinity with monsters (also called 'charm value' = charm value towards monsters). Most summoners
They are all average-talented or high-magic-low-charm types, while Elephant Devil Blade Users are typical high-charm and low-magic types. They often have limited mental power, which is not enough to support and maintain multiple contracted monsters to fight. Their own physiques are far superior to
Some summoners and spellcasters with high magic type even have higher initial values than ordinary warriors. At the same time, their high magic value allows these summoners to sign magic contracts at higher levels, and even sign some impossible contracts.
Warcraft can be summoned as subordinates or companions. Therefore, the Demon Blade user can hardly summon more than two Warcraft, but the Warcraft summoned can often make people's eyes shine, and even their colleagues will drool when they look at it.
Of course, Luo Ling actually does not belong to any type of summoner. He purely relies on his tyrannical strength to play various low-level roles. For him, armor below the legendary level has lost its practical significance and has been reduced to a cover-up.
A prop to conceal shame. The reason he wore this U-series outfit this time was just because Mog Guge gave him an interesting prop - the Ring of the Demon Slave.
The Ring of the Demon Slave is a bone magic weapon. Its shape is just a ring with magic patterns engraved inside. It is black and smooth, and its material is like obsidian. It is a subsidiary product of the old lich spawn transformation experiment. The ring is filled with secret techniques.
Imprisoned is a familiar that endured n dozen kinds of experiments without dying.
Luo Ling planned to give the Ring of the Demon Slave to Xing Juan as a self-defense gift. He took it with him when he went out this time just to test its performance. Luo Ling thought that if it was cost-effective, he might as well ask the old lich to make a few more.
Xiaoqing and the others have one each, so it will be safer to go out in the future.
With the Demon Slave Ring and Nian Gu, who can be possessed by ghosts, Luo Ling pretends to be a demon blade user, and ordinary people have almost no chance of exposing him.
Nian Gu is currently possessing an evil angel, acting as Luo Ling's falcon. As the Dark Portal becomes more stable, the monsters also keep pace with the times and gradually form a community. There are very few monsters roaming alone.
Even if there are any, they are often mutants or powerful beings like Slaughter Beasts. The clustering of such monsters has made the surface deserted a lot, but the hunting danger of witchers has greatly increased. Following this,
What came next was the rise of team hunting. That kind of hunting alone has almost become synonymous with inefficiency or death.
Taking advantage of Nian Gu's aerial reconnaissance, Luo Ling quickly targeted two small monster groups. A group of cracked tooth monsters, and a group of armored blade monsters and spirit monsters. For Luo Ling now, killing
This type of monster is no different from using a Gatling six-barreled machine gun with unlimited ammunition to shoot at wolves in the wilderness. It is purely a one-sided massacre. All Luo Ling needs to consider is how to maximize the value of this massacre. For example
, the whole skin of cracked-tooth monsters can be sold at a good price, Luo Ling will start from their eyes or ear holes to ensure the integrity of the skin. For another example, before killing the monsters, he injects them with an excessive amount of stimulant poison, making these monsters
Unconventional evolution or alienation, in this way, the harvested materials will often be upgraded from ordinary to rare, and the price difference between the two is enough to make any witcher salivate with envy.
Tracking and hunting these two groups of monsters took Luo Ling a whole morning. Without the need to eat or rest, Luo Ling continued working. By around 17:00 in the afternoon, he killed two more groups of monsters. The materials he harvested were,
Almost two hundred cubic space rings were filled. Since then, the hunting mission has been completed.
The reason why Luo Ling went out to the northeast was to go to Qingshi Village. The command vehicle was there, and it became an information station for Luo Ling to contact the outside world. Budweiser would send him emails from time to time, and if Shalu had anything
Whenever possible, a magical letter will be left in a designated place.
"I wish you a happy Spring Festival and good health...the latest product quotation on February 22nd..." Luo Ling looked through the email. There was nothing special. The main reason was that there was no latest letter from Shahru. "It seems that the boy is recovering from his injuries."
, or you are thinking about what words to use to invite me to fight with the vicious skeleton for the "Ghost Notebook". Or maybe the appearance of Cang Yan has alerted its master and went to report to his master's superior?" Luo Ling
I made random guesses, but in the end I couldn't find anything accurate, so I had to leave it alone.
Living alone, boredom is inevitable. In order to enrich cultural life, Luo Ling will bring home a bunch of electronic information including music and image files from time to time for daily study and entertainment. This time too
No exception, Luo Ling copied the data downloaded through the wireless network to the mobile hard disk and selected some new download content. Just as he was about to leave, he found a new email signed by Qin Qing.
One month before the Spring Festival, when Luo Ling came to collect emails, an email from Budweiser told him that Xuanyuan Descendants had jointly established a strategic partnership with the company. A regional information exchange network would be gradually established, and the ultimate goal would be to
Connected. Furthermore, Baiwei Guang'an Distribution has been connected to the network of subordinate units of Xuanyuan descendants in the Northern and Southern Regions. Luo Ling can use this network to communicate with people in the Northern Region. The Luo family has a good relationship with Qin Qing and others.
This is something everyone knows.
Luo Ling does not object to his wife exchanging letters with people in the Northern Territory. After all, apart from Qin Qing, there are also Ren Zhengzheng and Li Xiao, a group of comrades who have been together through life and death. Therefore, Luo Ling will also do it every now and then.
I sent a few emails on behalf of my wife, or received some greetings from the Northern Territory. Among them, Qin Qing's was naturally indispensable.
Only this time, the content of Qin Qing's letter was not a trivial chat between girls, but an invitation to Luo Ling.
‘It is an urgent matter. Please come to the Northern Territory Station for a meeting as soon as possible after receiving the letter.’ The content of the letter was short and vague. The specific situation was not mentioned.
Rubbing his stubbled jaw, Luo Ling thought silently. He had originally planned to go to Qin Qing to solve the 'personal debt' problem. As for the meeting with this letter, from his understanding, it should not be an ordinary trouble.
.
Theoretically speaking, Luo Ling's current physical condition is not suitable for participating in high-intensity battles. But he also knows himself very well. With his debt to Qin Qing for saving his life, if Qin Qing teamed up with Li Xiao and others
If he launches a friendly offensive instead of forceful force, the probability of him agreeing to help is as high as 70%.
"When you come out to hang out, you can't help yourself. Some debts have to be repaid." Luo Ling knows that there are a lot of passive traits in his personality, which makes him often choose to 'take it out' when he encounters unsolvable problems.
With such a plan, fortunately, he is quite decisive when faced with problems, and his mind is still calm and clear-headed. Coupled with his own strength and a bit of luck, he has stumbled all the way to where he is now.
After getting out of the command vehicle, I took a deep breath. The cold air was like a cold current, flowing down my respiratory tract and straight into my lungs. My mind seemed to be sobered by the stimulation of the cold. It was almost 19 o'clock, and the sky was huge.
Most of the dust clouds have turned from gray to dark gray, and there is only a little light color at the end of the west, which is caused by the afterglow of the setting sun.
Everything is dim, cold and desolate. I don't know when the wind has picked up, blowing up the floating snow on the ground, forming pieces of rolling white mist or snow whirlpools, floating everywhere. The wind will occasionally bring weak monsters.
Howling, whimpering or high-pitched, like a ghost whispering or clamoring.
Luo Ling felt that this kind of scenery was like the Alaskan or Siberian ice fields in his impression, or the inaccessible wilderness of the Arctic. He had never been to these places, only made some assumptions through some articles or pictures. Still remember that he didn't
When he became a demon, he mentioned to his roommate in the same university dormitory more than once that he liked the atmosphere in the movie "Thirty Nights", with its cold, dark, powerless sunlight, gray desolation and bone-chilling sadness.
Yinhan. Luo Ling still remembers that his roommate laughed and scolded him as a pervert, saying that his mentality was just a variant of 'urban aesthetic boredom'. But he knew that was not the case, and he really liked it.
An empty and trembling environment.
Thinking about it now, this kind of unique preference is probably a sign of the resurgence and awakening of the demon blood. Even if he had not conducted the damn human experiment at the beginning, he would probably have done what Galdi and the others did around the opening of the Dark Portal.
Self-awakening. If you look at it from the perspective of this inevitable awakening, it is a good thing to become a profit and loss body early and go through hardships. At least, compared to now, the original bad environment is more suitable for novices to grow, and there are
The inheritance of hatred seems to be far better than the numb mental state of most survivors now.
Click! Luo Ling buttoned up his visor, held the long sickle like a cane, and walked slowly along the mountain road. On a dead branch, Niangu, who was taking a nap with his wings folded, croaked and spread his wings to fly.
He got up, circled a few times in the sky like a mountain eagle, and headed southeast first.
Luo Ling's target was the bases controlled by Qingjiao Southern Region in the old city of Guang'an. The night after, he would play the role of reaper of death. Luo Ling thought, there was still plenty of time anyway, so he might as well take a few more steps
Road, to be honest, it is very fast to travel between places through the shadow plane, but it is the purest way of rushing, without any fun at all. Unlike now, walking alone in the cold wilderness feels very good.
After leaving the mountainous area, it was already past ten o'clock at night. To his surprise, Luo Ling met a group of demon hunters returning at night. After being injured in the illusion, in order to reduce energy consumption, Luo Ling adjusted the sensing radius to 400 meters. This
The distance is one-fifth of his furthest sensing distance, which is in line with the intermediate-level sensing ability of the Summoner he currently plays. However, with the help of Nian Gu in the air, Luo Ling still discovered this pair very early.
If the demon hunter hides, he has enough time, but Luo Ling feels that there is no need at all. No matter from that aspect, he will not be hiding from others.
A number of snowmobiles were either driving the road or waiting around, and three or two medium-sized sleds the size of minibuses were arranged in a single column. This team of witchers was advancing purely mechanized, and it could be said that they came and went like the wind.
The sleigh at the head had on-board detectors and communication systems. An operator in the car first spotted Luo Ling. "Coke bottle call q3\6\9, there is a moving object in the direction of 2 o'clock, distance: about 1500 meters, speed:
About 13 kilometers per hour, go check it out.”
"q3\6\9 received!"
The three snowmobiles sped up and left the group, taking the lead.
Pop! The white bubbles burst. The young man in charge of communications leaned back in his seat and asked the operator sitting with his back to him, "Xiao Feng, what is this? 13 kilometers per hour? Wilderness Rambler?"
The female operator known as Xiao Feng was not interested in the cold jokes of her teammates and said in a very business-like manner: "You will know the exact answer in three minutes."
The man shrugged and chewed bubble gum and said, "Nice! Standard answer."
Several people laughed from the seats in the front row, and one of them said: "Gum boy, you need to be a little more handsome and a little more heroic. Haha..."
"Yeah! I will consider taking a few slices of cucumbers and brushing a few reptiles to improve my martial arts and so on." The young man known as the Gum Boy said angrily.
"Your choice is too extravagant. Next time you have the opportunity to compete with the Blade Demon, you might as well rush forward, let it stab you with a double eyelid, and then kill it. Kill two birds with one stone and save money."
"Laoguai's idea is good..." People laughed.
"Ha! Ha!" Chewing Gum Boy laughed dryly as if to take advantage of the situation.
Rookies are often the targets of jokes by veterans. This is a good phenomenon, at least it proves that the relationship is still in the past. With this relationship, newcomers can often suffer a lot less on the battlefield, and even be lucky enough to save their lives.
The speed of a snowmobile can easily exceed 80 kilometers per hour, so the spies sent out quickly returned the message. "It's a solo demon hunter, and he looks like a demon hunter (a homophone for the common name of the demon blade user).
"
Xiaofeng immediately loudly reported the news.
"I thought it was a turkey! (a name among team members for monsters that appear alone but are not very powerful)" someone in the front row whispered.
Before waiting for the commander in the car to give the order, Xiaofeng said again: "Q3 said that an evil angel was found hovering in the sky. It is very likely that it is a contracted monster."
At this moment, the car suddenly became quiet. The Evil Angel is a first-class flying demon. The corrosion ball in its hand is more powerful than a high-explosive grenade, and it can fire continuously for ten minutes every three seconds. It is called
'Devil Fighter'. Being able to take the evil angel into a contracted beast is definitely the level of summoner advancement and beyond. They are known as the elite team. There are three summoners in the team, one of whom is a demon.
