Obviously, the Shurima Empire was once a prosperous civilization that ruled an entire continent.
The invincible army of Ascended Ones composed of celestial warriors single-handedly created this empire, united all the desperate southerners, and implemented a long-lasting peace among them, with almost no one dared to resist. All rebels, such as the Cursed Nation
Icacia was trampled mercilessly.
However, the ascension ceremony of the last emperor of Shurima failed, causing the entire empire to be reduced to ruins. The only thing left of Shurima's past glory was the myth in people's mouths.
Today, most of the nomadic residents living in the Shurima Desert must find basic survival supplies in this unforgiving land.
Some manned small outposts around the few oases, while others descended into long-lost tombs in search of priceless treasures that should never have been unearthed.
There are also some people who became mercenaries and bounty hunters, fighting for survival in order to survive, and finally perished in the barbaric desert and returned to the dust.
When Lin Luo followed the waterway of Zaun to Shurima, the southern continent, he heard the extremely solemn sound of the game in his ears.
[Tip: You have crossed the cross-strait strait and arrived at the southern continent-Shurima continent. You have activated the achievement: Informed Adventurer]
[Achievement reward: Your energy value is permanently increased by 5%.]
When Lin Luo officially came to the continent of Shurima, he suddenly had a similar feeling of déjà vu, that is, the psychological resistance he felt when he first went to Freljord and entered the ice and snow.
.
The most intuitive thing is the visual changes and discomfort that hit me.
This is a hot continent covered in the sun. The average temperature is at least over 50 degrees Celsius. The temperature peak at noon during the day can reach more than 60 degrees Celsius. The endless sunlight is exposed on the earth, turning everything into yellow.
Sand, almost no life can survive here.
"Sure enough, it is another extreme environment. No wonder it is a high-level dungeon. What is the difference between low-level players coming to this place and sending them away..."
Lin Luo stepped onto the hot yellow sand and quickly felt the changes in his attributes.
Unlike Freljord's cold resistance value, Shurima has no independent attributes. The only way to withstand the high temperatures and heat is 'energy value'.
That's right, you must have at least 500 energy points before you can enter the continent of Shurima, which is equivalent to the restriction of a large area.
"No wonder you can only enter Shurima at level 50. It turns out that it's not really a level restriction, but a restriction on passive attributes."
What are passive attributes?
It means that you can't actively control it in battle, or even actively use the attributes of abilities, such as energy.
According to the New World game mechanism, except for a few hidden professions, the energy value of most player professions remains unchanged. The initial energy value is 10 points, and then the system will automatically add 10 points for you every time you upgrade to a level. You cannot actively allocate points to
As for other attributes, this is still the so-called passive attribute.
When the player reaches level 50, his energy value will be passively increased to 500 points.
The minimum standard for entering Shurima in the southern continent is 500 energy points, which is why it is said that level 50 is required to enter Shurima.
However, according to Lin Luo, there are also some rare professions that can enter here at level 30 or above. Their professional energy value is twice or even three times that of ordinary players. They can enter Shurima in advance and obtain the strategies and information here, so as to
Sell this to large armies or high-end players to earn good rewards.
At this time, a notification sounded in Lin Luo's friend list. The person who could add him as a friend was definitely not an ordinary person, but a hidden professional player that he had contacted before coming here.
"Hey, are you boss? Have you arrived in Shurima?"
"Yes, I have sent you the coordinates of where you are now."
"Oh, wait a minute, boss, I'll be right back."
The player Lin Luo is contacting now, called Sniper Maniac, is a rare professional shooter player.
This rare profession is called 'Doman Rider', which is essentially an adventurer profession in Shurima.
In fact, his professional characteristics are not unfamiliar. He is an archer who uses crossbows and is good at using hook locks. He can use the nearly 100-meter long hook lock to swing in the sand dunes and forests of Shurima continent, and has a strong influence on Shurima.
The Mar environment is extremely resistant.
If it's more intuitive, it's the same profession as Shadow Sentinel Aksan in the PC game, but it's a low-end version and can't resurrect teammates.
Ten minutes later, Lin Luo saw a small black dot appear in the yellow sand Gobi in the distance.
It was now noon, and the small dot had been distorted by the scorching temperature, and seemed to melt in the air.
"Tsk, tsk, this is Shurima after the big explosion. It's really scary."
In the continent of Shurima, the desert covers almost 90% of the continent. This is all because the ascension ceremony exploded and the power of the sun disk collapsed, causing the continent to absorb part of the power of the sun disk.
The solar disk, an artifact, was originally used to absorb and intensify the energy of the sun.
When the ascension ceremony exploded, the sun disk was shattered into thousands of fragments, which were distributed throughout the entire Shurima continent. Therefore, this land absorbed the power of the sun disk, resulting in it being able to absorb the sun's power, so it became
It became this horrific desert of death.
"Boss! Here, here! I see you!"
Lin Luo had made preparations before coming. Although it was fun to open up wasteland alone, it was very troublesome, especially in such torturous terrain. It was definitely best to have an old man lead the way.
The Sniper Demon is a senior member of the Legion of Heroes with a level of 42. However, he became a Doman Rider when he changed jobs for the first time at level 35, so he entered the Shurima continent more than a month ago.
The Duoman Rider is born with twice as much energy as a regular profession, which means that in terms of energy alone, he is equal to a level 84 player. There is basically nothing he can't do in Shurima.
place.
As for Lin Luo, he is blessed with the best equipment, and because he has triggered many special achievements before, his current energy value is 650 points, which is equivalent to the energy value attribute of level 65. Shurima is not very scary to him.
.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Luo saw a player dressed in a very different way coming in front of him. His clothes were somewhat similar to the ancient Egyptians in reality, but they were only partially similar. Since he was a combat profession, he was also equipped with very good light armor.
It sparkles under the fierce gaze and is very dazzling.
An extremely long gray hook is wrapped around his waist, which seems to extend to hundreds of meters. He is carrying a crossbow similar to a banknote gun in his right hand, a gold necklace on his chest, and several large bullets in his mouth.
Jin Ya, he is tall, thin and dark, but his eyes are shining, giving people the feeling of being a thief and a thief.
"Hey, hey, hey! Boss, I finally see you. Can I take a photo with you?"
This sniper-shooting maniac is obviously a social cow expert, and you can guess a bit of his personality just by looking at his game ID. He should be of the same type as Mao Tou.
"no problem."
Lin Luo is still very kind to his younger brothers in the army and will not deliberately put on airs.
After the sniper maniac took photos with Lin Luo in a few coquettish poses, he said:
"Boss, please wait a moment. I have already called a Doman cavalry team I know, and they will come to pick us up right away."
Lin Luo was a little confused:
"Aren't you the one directly guiding me?"
When he came to Shurima this time, he specially found professionals to lead the way. You must know that unlike the previous times, he was not the first player to come to Shurima. Many legions and unions even opened up bases here. Since he
One step at a time will definitely speed up the efficiency.
He gave the sniper maniac a handsome commission and asked him to be his full-day guide during his stay in Shurima. The first thing he did was to take him to the nearest upgrade area.
Unexpectedly, the sniper maniac explained:
"Things are not as simple as you think, boss. Shurima is not a place you can just walk away from. Unless you are a Doman rider like me and can use this thing to swing in the desert, otherwise you will have to walk with just your feet.
The efficiency is too slow, we need transportation."
He weighed the injured hook and said hehe.
"Transportation?"
Lin Luo asked:
"Are there desert camels here too?"
The sniper maniac said:
"Of course not. How can an ordinary camel withstand the scorching heat of more than 60 degrees? It is an extraordinary creature called Scarash. It not only has amazing endurance, but also has super strong combat power. It is a level 50 neutral creature.
Ordinary Scarash are epic-level monsters, and boss-level Scarash is legendary-level monster."
Next, Lin Luo learned that Skalalash is a creature unique to Shurima and is very adapted to the harsh desert climate.
Although they are notoriously violent and untamable, they are still greatly revered by the locals. Their fur is painted with sacred symbols of protection, and their horns are hung with totems and amulets. Owning a Skalaush is prosperity.
A symbol of prosperity.
"By the way, one more thing, because Scarlash is a neutral creature, it can be tamed by players, but it's just difficult...hehehehe."
The sniper-shooting maniac laughed a few times, meaning it was as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Lin Luo asked:
"Then how did you find Scarash to pick me up?"
The sniper maniac said:
"Because I added a native tribe of Shurima, called the Haka Haka tribe. It is a legendary tribe with more than 3,000 people in total. I now have high authority in that tribe and can rent an adult epic every day.
Scarash, the people from the tribe are coming on Scarash right now, we must use Scarash to hurry up, otherwise the efficiency will be too low!"
After all, in this harsh environment, the energy consumption is huge. Once the energy is used up, you will be trapped in the desert.
The most terrifying thing is that if players stay in the desert for a long time, they will also suffer from various negative states such as weakness, serious injuries, heat stroke, etc., which can last for one or two natural days, and will continue during the battle, which is very troublesome.
.
“I remember that when the first batch of players entered Shurima, they excitedly went to the desert to open up wasteland, but no monsters were seen. After walking for an hour, they all collapsed. It took two full days to recover in the desert before they recovered.
That’s a real waste of time.”
As he said this, Lin Luo saw another figure appearing on the desert horizon in the distance.
Different from the previous sniper monsters, this seems to be a detachment, stretched into a queue of tens of meters in the desert, probably carried by two tall animals, migrating in the desert.
Lin Luo turned on the ultra-long sight range, and at the same time cast out an eye of insight, and saw the attributes of those tall animals.
[Target: Adult Scarash]
【Level:50】
[Level: Epic Level]
[Type: Neutral creature (tamable)]
[Health value: 2000000/2000000]
[Physical attack power: 4000-4500]
[Magic attack power: 1500-2000]
[Magic/Physical Defense: 7000]
[Shurima's special racial characteristics (resilience): Skalaush is a child of Shurima. He is born with the ability to ignore the terrible high temperatures and scorching heat, and has terrifying endurance. He can run in the desert without eating or drinking.
One month.]
…
"I didn't expect Scarash to be such a huge creature."
Watching the two adult Scarash gradually approaching, Lin Luo gradually raised his head and felt a large black shadow falling on the ground.
Generally speaking, this is also a vegetarian animal that sits on all fours, but it is very large. An adult Skalas is more than five meters tall, almost like a small building, and compared to a camel, it is more like a rhinoceros.
It has a huge sharp horn, which is his attack tool.
However, its back is somewhat similar to that of a camel, except that there are no two humps, only one very tall hump of nearly two meters. People will add some carrying tools on the hump to let themselves ride on Scarash.
In addition, some spell masters and pharaohs of Shurima will also carve magical totems for the powerful Skalalash, giving them powerful power.
In general.
The transportation is here and Lin Luo can set off now.
"Boss, the place we are going to now is a large upgrade area called Soang Sasha Falls. All player groups are now leveling there. There are three upgrade areas behind it, namely Shurima Tomb and Sun Disk.
The ruins, the ruins of the warriors and horses of the gods and warriors, and now the players have not even cleared the first upgrade area, but I guess the world of Shurima will change when you come, boss."
Listening to the introduction of the sniper maniac, Lin Luo was already looking forward to it.
Shurima Tombs, Sun Disk Ruins, Warriors of Gods and Soldiers and Horses...
These are the powers of demigods from ancient times, which is where I put my best foot forward!
"Let's go! Go directly to the first upgrade area now!"
Lin Luo said:
"First tell me about this sand waterfall, what it is, what monsters you need to face, and the specific strategies and terrain."
Next, the sniper maniac introduced Lin Luo in detail about the so-called Soangsa Sand Falls.
Since the name of this upgrade area is very convoluted, players have tacitly given it a very vernacular name.
‘——Quicksand Waterfall’
The sniper maniac introduced in an eloquent manner:
"You must have seen many waterfalls in places like Ionia, but you have rarely heard of waterfalls in the desert, right? This quicksand waterfall is a rare desert waterfall terrain, where the quicksand is like a big river, spectacular
The Quicksand Waterfall is a unique sight, and the monster experiences in it are also very rich."
