The adventurers of the Western Continent do not have detailed maps of the lava secret realm, but no matter how stupid they are, after so many days of field experience, they know that there are many volcanic areas in the secret realm and the geological structure is very unstable.
A small earthquake occurred every three days, and a large earthquake occurred every five days. Although not many people died, the sense of oppression caused by the huge natural disaster still weighed heavily on everyone's heart.
Whenever you look up at any time, you can see thick black pillars rising on the horizon, which are thick smoke caused by volcanic eruptions.
The thick volcanic ash on the ground is the best proof, and the scorching storm blew them to every corner of the secret realm.
"This should be an extinct volcano area." Deputy leader Rebecca squatted on the ground, inspected a piece of volcanic rock, and then threw it into a crack on the ground.
Boom! Boom!
The stone hit the rock wall twice, and there was an echo, and then there was no sound anymore.
"What a deep pit!"
Lev took a breath and looked around. Not only was the ground of this volcanic area covered with thousands of large and small cracks, but there were also many caves on the rock walls. According to these traces
, you can imagine how spectacular and eye-catching the volcano here was when it erupted.
"move on!"
Antony did not give orders to enter the cave, but continued on.
Including Downton, several people noticed that the leader had almost no hesitation when moving forward, as if he already knew in which direction the treasure was.
Bearded asked twice, but Anthony said nothing.
"This has something to do with my talent. Don't worry about the rest. Anyway, I will take you to a place where you can make a fortune."
Anthony can be regarded as being extremely benevolent. Generally, no magician will take the initiative to reveal the secrets related to his talent.
More than twenty minutes later, the team stopped in front of a severely weathered mountain wall.
"Eat, rest, and set off in ten minutes. This will be a long and dangerous journey, so please be mentally prepared."
Anthony bit into the dried meat and took off the supplies from the horses, "Gather the horses together and tie them to the cave opposite. They won't be needed for the next operation."
Downton also eats dried meat, which can provide more calories than bread and is more resistant to hunger. What he drinks is not water, but a kind of secret elf brew. After drinking this kind of wine, he can use
The patient maintains strong physical strength and energy for twelve hours.
The alcoholic warrior Knight took a deep breath of the aroma of wine in the air and looked at Downton. "What are you drinking? It's so delicious?"
As a heavy drinker, Knight swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, couldn't help it anymore, and approached Downton, staring at his wine bottle and chatting with him.
The eyes of other team members also fell over. There was nothing they could do. After all, this was fine wine that had been stored for thousands of years. As Downton opened the flask, the strong aroma of wine overflowed. Not only Knight, but also the men present.
They couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"It's just an ordinary drink."
Downton took a few sips, quickly screwed on the bottle cap and returned to his backpack.
"Let me have a sip?"
Knight put his arm around Downton's shoulders and struck up a conversation with a smile on his face.
"Sorry, my sister prepared this for me!"
Downton made a perfunctory excuse. He and Knight were not familiar with each other, so he would not invite him to drink foolishly. You must know that this elf wine is more expensive than gold when it is first brewed, let alone how many years it has been stored in the cellar.
If you drink it for a thousand years, it will be worth tens of thousands of gold coins.
"Hey, stingy!" Knight pushed Downton away and walked away with a dissatisfied look on his face.
"Haha, don't complain. Didn't you see the dwarf-style beer barrel pattern on the wine can? If I read it correctly, it should be an empty rock beer can!" Anthony was well-informed and joked, he
I don't want the team to have disagreements over this trivial matter.
"What? Are you talking about the empty rock beer cans made of rare gemstones and worth millions of marks?" As an alcoholic, how could Knight not know about this kind of treasure? Before the leader could answer, he suddenly turned around and stared at
To Downton.
Downton shrugged his shoulders, acquiescing. There was no point in lying under Anthony's nose. It would also make others question his character.
"Hey, it's true!" Nate took a breath and ran over quickly, "Take it out and let us broaden our horizons?"
Downton had no choice but to hand the beer can to the alcoholic warrior.
Dongba and Karim came over. Knight Lev abided by the dogma and only ate bread and water, so he was not very interested in this thing.
"Tsk tsk, it's really good!"
Knight sighed with emotion and subconsciously wanted to twist the bottle cap, but Karim moved faster and pressed the bottle mouth.
"Don't do this, I don't allow it!"
Although Karim doesn't talk much, he has a good character and is very upright.
"All right!"
Nate reluctantly returned the beer can to Downton, as if he had lost his soul, and muttered angrily, "When we have money, we will buy one too."
"Come on, the production of that thing is very small, and it can only be found at auctions. Do you think your wallet is full enough?"
The bearded man spoke in a sour tone, insinuating that Downton was stingy.
"Hey, with such a good wine jar, the wine inside must be pretty good. Tell me the name and let us see it!" Dongba bumped Downton with his shoulder.
“Really average wine.”
Downton sighed to himself. Walnut had forced him to bring the wine can. He originally thought it would be of no use, but unexpectedly it was of great help. If there was a shortage of water, this would be a life-saving water source.
Sitting in a cool cave, admiring the sunset, a group of people ate dinner and chatted.
"There is a high chance that there are mineral veins under this kind of mountain. If you can really find one and sell it to those empires, you can definitely get a noble title with a territory."
Dongba looked forward to the future, but unfortunately no one agreed, because everyone's expressions suddenly became solemn.
"what sound?"
The male thief had the most sensitive ears and quickly lay down on the ground to listen. The others grabbed their weapons and stood up, alerting the surroundings.
Swish! Swish!
This is the sound made by the multi-legged monster when it crawls. It is getting louder and louder, indicating that the opponent is approaching quickly.
"Be careful, it's coming!"
As soon as the thief finished speaking, a fire rock centipede suddenly emerged from a crack in the ground more than 70 meters away and headed towards the team.
The centipede was dark red in color and was twelve meters long. Its body was as strong as six people hugging each other. It had as many as a hundred abdominal legs that moved rapidly, rolling up volcanic ash all over the sky.
"Get out!" Anthony yelled. The terrain in the cave was too narrow and it was impossible to launch an attack formation: "Levo is in a state of blessing. Soldiers step forward to intercept the monsters. Priests and knights pay attention to support."
The leader was calm in the face of danger and commanded quickly.
Downton neglected to take care of his backpack. He held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other. He approached the mage while moving quickly. He had to ensure that the magician would not be killed by the magic beast at close range.
Lev waved with one hand, golden light burst out and spread into a halo, covering a 200-yard radius, blessing everyone with agility and endurance effects.
call!
The centipede was so fast that after rushing thirty meters, its mouthparts suddenly opened wide and spit out hot magma.
Like a pouring rainstorm, the lava swept towards the soldiers.
The soul shield rotated, blocking most of the magma. But some of it dripped on the body, leaving burnt black marks.
Everyone is a war-level magic user. Although it hurts, they can endure it. However, during this round of attacks, the formation was a little turbulent.
boom!
Like a tree, the centipede's upper body moved wildly, stirring up volcanic ash and blocking the view.
"Damn it, mage, rainstorm!"
Anthony was going to be furious. He couldn't see the enemy, and the team's combat effectiveness couldn't be unleashed no matter how strong it was.
During the interval when the mage chanted the spell, the first death appeared.
A warrior faced a centipede that suddenly jumped out of the volcanic ash. Although he struggled to raise his shield, it was still swept away by its strong tail. Before he could get up, the centipede rushed over and swallowed it in one gulp. As its sharp teeth closed,
, the lower body that was bitten off at the waist fell to the ground.
Blood and entrails were scattered everywhere.
"Be careful, it is at least an elite level monster!"
In fact, there is no need for the deputy leader to remind you, everyone can probably guess the strength of the centipede based on its attack power.
"Archer, use full firepower to intercept the centipede and buy everyone time."
Anthony sighed secretly. The temporarily formed team was not united. The members retained their strength for the sake of the next adventure and for safety.
It stands to reason that when encountering this situation, the archers should attack immediately to slow down the pursuit of the monsters and give the team time to establish defenses. However, except for Karim, the other archers only shoot arrows without any arrow skills.
The archers and mages retreated fifty meters away. After being temporarily safe, they began to fight back. Arrows and magic fell on the centipede, causing wounds and causing green mucus to spread freely.
"Hold on, the monster is not strong and can be killed!"
Anthony roared with great energy and stabilized his center. He held a one-and-a-half-meter-high tower shield in his left hand and a long sword in his right hand, which he held at the front.
Centipede also has low intelligence. It wants to kill those long-range attackers who cause huge damage to it first, but every time it wants to charge, it will be blocked by Anthony.
"Soldiers, be careful to intercept and don't let it break through."
Anthony's calmness and strength also infected the whole team, and the atmosphere was not as tense as before.
It was Downton's first time to participate in a large-scale warcraft hunting battle as a member of the group. In addition to the novelty, he was also a little confused. He didn't know what to do, because Lev perfectly fulfilled the responsibilities of a paladin, so he wanted to get close to him.
He attacked personally, but was stopped by the deputy commander again.
"Lefo is the main force, and you are the backup. When a group is injured and the priest cannot take care of it, you help heal it."
Rebecca warned Downton that because the relationship between Warcraft, terrain, etc. would cause visual interference, the group leader could not take into account all the details. In addition, he did not need to worry about some small things to distract him, so the deputy group leader had to
Take on some responsibilities.
"OK!"
Downton releases the divine wind, which is very powerful, but after all, this is a bishop-level magic, which consumes too much magic energy. (To be continued...)
