The fog became thicker and thicker as a few people moved forward, and finally it became a situation where they could not see their fingers. This was really unexpected in the eyes of Duan Qing and others who were preparing to go on their way after a night's rest.
Other things - according to their original plan, they planned to kill this foggy sky that disappeared without knowing when while waiting for Duan Qing to come online, but after a night of waiting, they had to
I regrouped and hit the road, accepting the fact that the fog seemed to show no sign of disappearing.
Therefore, it was natural that in the process they saw the legendary demonic creatures hidden in the Dragon Bone Wasteland that only appeared at night.
"It's the Wasteland Monitor! Stay away from them! They come in groups, and their breath has a paralysis effect!"
"...Doesn't the breath of the Wasteland Monitor contain toxins?"
"That's true, but their demonized versions will have a paralysis effect. The same situation will also occur with the swamp python and the scavenger dragon, and... holy shit!"
"So can you shut up first, Brother Spiral, they are really here!"
As fierce battles on the battlefield were followed by intermittent embarrassing escapes, the team finally arrived at the entrance of Dragon Valley with the guidance of Babaojun and other local natives, and then surrounded by thick fog and groups of enemies.
In the waiting scene, he jumped down according to a huge crack indicated on the map. The sound of hunting wind ringing in his ears was then replaced by the sound of rolling on the slope. At the same time, there were also constant sounds belonging to the players.
Duan Qing, who was mixed in with the exclamations when he fell down, rubbed his bruised and swollen arms from falling on the rocky slope, and finally got up amidst the screams of pain from others:
"This is...Dragon Valley?"
"That's right." Babaojun, who also got up, looked up at the layer of white mist not far above and the pairs of eyes that still appeared in the white mist: "You see, those demonized monsters don't dare to break in.
You'll know it the way you come in..."
"Demonized monsters are said to be some monsters that were affected by the magic-filled environment in the Free Continent. Due to reasons such as fear of the sun and the inability to maintain their demonized state in the sun, they are often unwilling to go to brightly lit places."
The Spiral Sword on the side once again assumed the responsibility of explanation: "However, the situation in Dragon Valley may be a bit special. There should be other reasons for their unwillingness to come down. Our preliminary inference with other players is that there are powerful people below.
Terrifying creatures and the result of the existence of miasma..."
"A powerful and terrifying creature...?" Duan Qing also looked towards the depths of the rocky slope where the cracks descended: "How powerful is it?"
"There is even less information like this. After all, few players have witnessed the appearance of such legendary monsters with their own eyes."
Pointing to the abyss-like depths of the rift valley, Mr. Babao shook his head helplessly: "We have also asked the local NPCs, but they rarely gave out a reason. The only thing we could find was this
The origin of Katalyu Valley..."
"I heard that the crack was torn open by the impact of some powerful monster, and they discovered the existence of the rift deep in the Dragon Bone Wasteland." The Spiral Sword pointed at the edge of the crack to the left and right of everyone, and it can still be seen now.
On the identified scratches: "A monster that can tear open a crack with bare hands... It's exciting enough just to think about it."
"So you guys called us here just to block the knife, right?" Lieyan Legend, who finally got up, looked deeply at Taniguchi below: "I was afraid that I couldn't beat him alone, so I called in a few more thugs.
Come to die as a substitute or something like that..."
"What you said is so ugly, let's fight side by side now, okay?" Mr. Babao smiled and spread his hands: "And... coming here to pursue those restorationists was our common goal at the beginning, wasn't it?
?”
"I hope so." Looking at each other with his teammates behind him, Legend of Flames ignored the topic in a dull voice: "Then... what should we do next?"
"First take the medicine I gave you before. It is to resist the harm of miasma." Mr. Babao then took out a brown pill and swallowed it first: "In order to get these things, we spent a lot of time.
It took a lot of effort.”
"...and the duration?"
"It ranges from about ten minutes to half an hour, depending on each person's physique." Babaojun, who closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then took the lead to walk down the rift valley: "Time is limited..."
"Let's get started quickly."
The sound of rustling footsteps then began to echo continuously in the center of the dim scene, which belonged to the depths of the valley mouth below the fissure. As Duan Qing and others continued to go deeper, the yellow-brown aura representing decay began to appear around several people.
Working hard to overcome the irritating smell coming from their noses, the members of this mixed team nervously stared at the left and right sides of the rift valley where the light still existed. While they were wary of powerful enemies that might appear, they searched around the valley bottom:
"They're all...bones."
"The Dragon Bone Wasteland is famous for its rich production of bones. It is also the main raw material collection place for those tribes to produce bone weapons and equipment. There are so many bones here... It shouldn't be a surprise, right?"
"But the bones here are very old and should not be used as a source of materials for those guys. Otherwise... wouldn't we be rich?"
"You have to understand one thing - the people of those tribes don't just use bones to make weapons and equipment. There are also many things like fur or tendons of wild beasts. If you just take the bones back, they may not make them for you...
Um?"
call--
A slight wind sound then appeared around the team who were talking in low voices, whirling past their heads. However, everyone with high levels and attributes also clearly felt that something was wrong, and the figure who stopped followed suit.
Their respective responsibilities faced the surroundings of the team. The quiet atmosphere then spread in the corners of the valley with the motionless players' bodies. Finally, they disappeared with a heavy sound of landing, and a huge figure belonging to an unknown monster appeared next to where they were.
At the end of the road, he slowly walked past the intersection with a heavy breathing sound.
"...Have you seen it?"
The body seemed to be shocked by the appearance of the giant shadow. The fat thief in the team spoke with a trembling voice: "What is that?"
"It is estimated that it is at least as tall as three people." Lieyan Legend on the side slapped the fat man on the back of the head, and then said in a low voice: "The size... is very huge."
"According to the normal design, its agility should not be as strong as ordinary monsters." Duan Qing's voice then sounded among the crowd: "But... when it comes to this place, everything is hard to say."
"That's right, we'd better be careful." Mr. Babao nodded in agreement: "Avoid that guy. He doesn't look like an opponent we can deal with now. Let's continue the search honestly, and then...
…Well."
His words suddenly stopped, and his eyes fell on the rift valley cliff above the team. Two eyes with yellow light were erecting the narrow pupils in the center, staring closely at everyone present: "
hiss……"
"Oops... spread out!"
boom!
A loud and harsh sound of claws appeared in the center of the team along with a rapid sound of breaking through the air. As everyone rushed towards the surroundings, they fell heavily to the ground, covered with countless broken bones and rocks.
Three long scratches were left on the floor, and at the same time, a pair of huge dark red claws appeared at the end of the scratches. The whole body seemed to be inlaid with blood-red crystals, resembling one of the four legs of a giant wolf.
The beast then stood in front of everyone, raised its head and let out a sharp roar. Its four claws with a strong bloody smell were followed by the broken bones that were raised again, and it rushed towards the nearest Flame Legend.
"careful!"
boom!
The big shield warrior who raised his shield in a hurry then flew far away from where he was like a weightless sandbag. Then, as the sparks generated between the giant claws and the shield sent him off, he crashed into his back.
On the wall. It seemed that he was not satisfied that his attack did not result in being torn apart. The beast that had just landed on its side then turned its head and looked again in the direction of Lieyan Legend who fell to the ground. A flash of sword light flashed across the wall.
Then, together with the fireball that flew far away, it blocked the path where the beast was about to pounce again: "Spread away! Its claws are very hard! Don't resist!"
"Avoid! Avoid!"
"Wait a minute! It turned around! It...ahhhhh!"
"peanut!"
As the beast attacked again and again, the chaotic battle scene slowly spread out on the bone-strewn valley bottom. The limbs covered with blood also flashed back and forth with the unknown beast, heading towards the corner of the rift valley.
The beast was constantly flying around. After paying the price of two royal team members, the team surrounding the beast finally stabilized its position temporarily. However, in addition to blocking the opponent at the beginning, it was still with him at this time.
Except for Duan Qing, who was fighting head-on, the other players almost had no choice but to run for their lives when the monster attacked: "Its skin is so hard, I can't cut it with my sword! And there is such a thing that is so strong that it is unscientific."
Strength and speed..."
"That ruby-like texture doesn't look normal at first glance."
"Then what should we do now? Do we have to be beaten passively?"
"I'll fight again in a while! You seize the opportunity to test it out! I don't believe this guy doesn't have any weaknesses..."
Ouch——
The piercing roar then interrupted the hastily discussed battle plan between several people, and then the figure of the red beast that had been going back and forth with Duan Qing appeared, leaping backwards, and easily escaped from its four claws surrounded by everyone.
Deeply embedded in the cliff next to it, a pair of terrifying eyes continued to scan among the people below: "..."
"...It's gone?"
Looking at the figure of the giant beast crawling into the distance of the rift valley, the several people holding their own swords looked at each other for a long time, and finally, when Duan Qing in front put away his weapons, he let out a low voice in disbelief.
Voice: "You just let us go so easily?"
"It did not let us go, but temporarily retreated first."
Without looking back, Duan Qing's voice echoed in everyone's ears: "Once it discovers that the hunt has failed, it will temporarily retreat, and then hide in the darkness, waiting for the next opportunity to attack..."
"...Is it so scary?" His whole body shuddered involuntarily, Tudou looked at the direction where the beast disappeared with a worried look: "It's already so difficult for us to just fight head-on. If it attacks secretly again...
…”
"No way, this is its habit."
Pointing to the depths of the rift valley at the end of the road, Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "After all... it is not the overlord here. In order to survive, it must be careful."
"Brother Qingshan seems to be very familiar with that thing." As a subtle sound of sheathing the sword sounded, the shambling figure belonging to Yangtze River No. 7 then appeared behind Duan Qing: "Have you seen it before?"
"I think I have seen something similar." Duan Qing replied noncommittally: "In short, we also spent a lot of effort to deal with this guy..."
"Oh? Where is it?" Legend of Flame on the side also seemed to be interested: "How did you defeat it? I will take revenge soon!"
"Don't make trouble, we don't have so much time to waste here." Duan Qing shook his head helplessly: "Does any of you want to replenish the effect of resisting miasma? If not, leave quickly. If all the medicine is used up...
…”
"Maybe we won't need anyone to do anything."
The sound of footsteps stepping on broken bones became farther and farther, and finally disappeared around the corner ahead as Duan Qing took the lead. Babaojun, who was looking at this scene, also let out a few wry smiles,
He hurried up with the remaining members of the royal family. Legend of Lieyan, who stayed in place, then glanced at Yangtze River No. 7 beside him. His deep eyes then disappeared as he packed up the heavy armor. The swordsman who was watching
The player then showed a puzzled expression, and was patted twice on the shoulder by the flying hero who came forward: "Good job."
"……ah?"
"After our unanimous decision, the work of gathering intelligence from now on will be left to you."
Showing a thumbs up to the other party, the fat thief grinned, then took Tudou and Xiao Yuer, who had finished packing up, and disappeared around the next corner in the direction of the team: "If you ask
If you have any interesting stories, remember to tell us."
"What the hell, I'm just asking..."
The figure was left at the back of the team. The swordsman named Yangtze River No. 7 then retracted his voice that he wanted to explain, but his eyes with incomprehensible eyes slowly moved as he touched his nose.
Disappeared, and finally chased after him as if nothing happened.
