Under the leadership of the guards, Lin Zheng and the others came to the administrative building located in the center of the town. When they saw the administrative building, Lin Zheng and the others suddenly felt like they were sweating. The administrative building with more than four floors should be regarded as the administrative building of Green Forest Town.
It is the tallest building. In towns that generally only have two to three floors, it definitely stands out. wwwslk.tw
But now it stands out from the crowd even more distinctively. The whole building looks dilapidated. Many of the original exquisite decorative sculptures are badly damaged, and even the roof on the top floor is missing!
Noticing the shock on the faces of Lin Zheng and the others, the guard couldn't help but laugh, "Gentlemen, please, Lord Fryer will be very happy if he knows that he is here to visit!"
Although my stomach is full of all kinds of questions, I can only suppress my curiosity now. I believe that Lord Fryer mentioned by the guard should give them a detailed answer!
At that moment, Lin Zheng and the others got off their carriages and prepared to follow the guards to find Mayor Fryer. But just as Lin Zheng stepped forward, Xun's voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Yiping.
careful!"
As soon as he heard Xun's warning, Lin Zheng immediately became alert. Following a strange sound, Lin Zheng suddenly rushed behind everyone and quickly opened the Yata Jade defensive wall. The next moment, a burst of
The strong wind howled and brought with it a rather pungent smell. Under the terrible wind pressure, Lin Zheng was knocked back a few steps. Others in the windless zone formed by the defensive wall watched in surprise.
Everything, this terrible storm came very suddenly, and many buildings screamed under the strong wind. A large number of objects were swept into the sky in the storm, and there were even human figures and animals.
With a "boom" sound, the administrative building next to it suddenly broke apart. Under the blow of the storm, the upper two-story building even flew several meters away, and then it hit the ground hard and fell into ruins.
And it was definitely not just the administrative building that was destroyed by the storm. Many houses that were not very stable in the first place continued to fall apart in the storm and turned into a pile of debris that was swept into the sky. The entire Greenwood Town, at this moment, simply looked like...
It's like the end of the world!
More than two minutes passed, and the storm suddenly stopped, leaving only the desolate town, showing off its terrifying power. When everyone was still frightened, a thin old man rushed out from the administrative building, quite hysterical.
The ground shouted: "I've had enough! Enough! This damn place, this damn storm!"
Seeing the old man rushing out frantically, the guard couldn't help but greet him tremblingly: "Sir!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fryer glared at him nervously, "What's the matter?!" After saying that, he discovered Lin Zheng and the others, and then heard the guard say: "These guys have passed.
Gentlemen of the first level, gentlemen are ready to challenge the second level!"
After hearing the guard's words and looking at the flag on the carriage, old man Fryer's expression immediately changed from cloudy to clear, and he laughed in surprise: "Haha! Welcome! Gentlemen, it's really our fault that you can come to Greenwood Town.
What an honor this town is! Come on, come on, please, everyone has traveled a long way to get here. You must be very tired, so take a good rest first!"
Hearing this, everyone's expressions immediately became strange. They glanced at the mess around them. How could anyone rest in such a dangerous place? Then their eyes fell on Lin Zheng. In short, what should we do next?
, it’s better to leave it to him to decide!
Flair's eyes also fell on Lin Zheng. It seemed that this boy was the leader of these people! Then he said with a smile on his face: "It's an honor to meet you gentlemen. My Excellency, Flair Bakken.
Do you know Mr. Gao’s last name?”
Lin Zheng smiled and said: "My name is Siegfried Lin. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Fryer. These are my partners. These are Xilu, Deken, Paz, Xifeng, Mondos, and Noel."
, and Doma!”
After greeting everyone with a smile, Fryer said: "Please, everyone! Go and have a good rest for a while. As for the matter of breaking through the level, we can wait until you have a rest before talking about it!"
"No!" Lin Zheng shook his head, "We have just set off today, and we don't feel any tired at all, so let's talk about this level first!" As he spoke, Lin Zheng glanced around.
, "Besides, Mr. Fryer, if you figure out the situation first, we won't be able to rest peacefully!"
"That's true!" Fryer's smile suddenly turned bitter, and then he sighed, took a few steps forward and said, "Okay then! Let's talk about the second level set by Master Skeleton first.
!”
After saying that, Fryer paused for a moment, apparently arranging his words. After a while, Fryer continued: "You have passed the first level test, and you must be able to guess that this second level will be different."
The content of the level is related to something, right?!"
"You mean that weird storm just now?"
"That's right!" Fryer nodded and sighed, "This weird storm has been raging here for six years. Every time, the storm appears very suddenly without any warning.
, basically attacks once every three days. As you can see, the buildings in our Green Forest Town have always been known for their solidity and stability. However, over the past six years, they have been continuously eroded by storms, and the buildings in the entire town have become crumbling.
The residents were so frightened by this storm that even if they were reluctant to leave their homes, they could only gradually move out of the town in the past six years. Now, there are not even fifty households left in the town!
"
Six years! Lin Zheng and others exclaimed when they heard it. Under the frequent blows of such terrible storms, this town has survived for six years. It is amazing. The construction level of this town is really impressive!
"Well - actually storms as severe as today are not common. If it were this severe every time, our Green Forest Town would be gone!"
"That's what I say, but it's still awesome!"
Hearing Brünnhilde's praise, Fryer couldn't help but show a look of pride on his face, but soon collapsed again, sighing and saying: "No matter how powerful you are, you can't stand such a torment. If you don't solve it,
If this kind of storm happens, our Green Forest Town will be completely destroyed!"
As he said that, Fryer looked towards the south. This direction happened to be the direction from which the previous storm came. Seeing this, Lin Zheng and the others also looked away, but they did not see any strange scenery.
I only saw a mountain that was not too high. Then I heard Fryer say: "The source of the storm is that mountain!"
"There doesn't seem to be anything strange about it?!" Noel said in confusion.
"From the outside, there is nothing strange about it. The root of the problem lies within the mountain!" Fryer explained, "Although the mountain is not high, it was once our Green Forest Town.
The treasure land and the hot springs flowing from there have brought very high economic benefits to our Greenwood Town!" As if thinking of the former prosperity of Greenwood Town, Fryer couldn't help but have a look of nostalgia on his face, "But everything happened in the sixth century.
Years ago, something changed!”
There is a cave entrance with spring water in the hot spring mountain. Hot spring water flows all year round, accompanied by a lot of steam! But six years ago, a monster appeared out of nowhere and blocked the entrance of the cave!
The interior is a sealed space, and the water vapor that is constantly forming cannot be vented, so it continues to accumulate inside. Until the monster can no longer bear it, it will turn over and reveal the hole. At that moment, the steam accumulated in the sealed space explodes instantly.
, formed a terrifying high-pressure airflow, and eventually turned into a storm that hit Greenwood Town.
So that's it. No wonder Lin Zheng smelled a pungent smell when the storm hit just now. Even now, this smell still remains in the air. If you think about it carefully, isn't this the smell of sulfide and the smell of sulfides?
The hot spring steam that Lyle said fits perfectly, but this is too incredible. For the hot spring steam to form that kind of terrible storm, it would have to be a huge stream of high-pressure steam. "How can that monster stop it?"
Where are you staying?!”
Seeing the surprised expression on Lin Zheng's face, Fryer smiled bitterly and said: "Have you never seen that monster? Not only was it huge in size, it was also extremely heavy. Master Skeleton once sent a large number of powerful masters before it.
Come, prepare to drive that monster out, but a group of people can't even lift one of its legs!"
Everyone was stunned for a while. A group of strong men couldn't even lift one of the monster's legs. How heavy must the monster be? After coming back to his senses, Thomas couldn't help but frowned and said: "Listen to what you said,
That monster seems to be quite slow, so why not try to kill it first, then dismember its body and take it out piece by piece?"
"Then it must be killed!" Fryer said helplessly, "The monster has no weak points in its body. It looks like it is made of cast metal. Any attack hit on it will have no effect at all! Moreover,
Even if we can kill it, I'm afraid we can't do it. If the monster dies, the entrance to the cave will be completely blocked. If we can't move its body quickly, the result will be even more dangerous!"
This is for sure. After three or two days of accumulation, the steam will have the terrifying power before. If it accumulates for ten or more days, it will be a lot of fun. If one fails, this area will be razed to the ground!
After pondering for a moment, Lin Zheng looked at Fryer, "In other words, the content of this second level is to find a way to make the monster leave the hole forever?"
"That's right!" Fryer nodded bitterly, "Although I also know that this matter is very difficult, at this point, we are at our wits' end. I am afraid that there is no way to solve this problem by force. I hope you will
Sir, you can use your ingenuity to find a way to get that damn monster out of the hole!"
What a clever person! No matter how they think about it, everyone thinks that this kind of problem can be solved without relying on the brain at all, including Lin Zheng. After all, it is a monster, not a huge rock blocking the entrance of the cave. The monster
No one knows what reaction it will make once it is stimulated. Besides, even if it is deceived, it may get back in again! But in short, "We already know the general situation. For details, we have to wait until we see the person."
We can’t be sure until we get rid of the monster!”
"That's for sure!" Fryer said expectantly, "Then when are you going to set off?"
"The steam in the cave has just erupted. If we go there now, it should be the best time. Without further ado, let's set off now!"
"Now?!" Fryer was startled, "No, no, no! Although we are all eager to solve this big trouble, it is too dangerous to go there casually. You may not know, what is inside the hot spring cave?
The temperature is very high. If you go in without being prepared beforehand, you may get burned at any time, and the steam inside also contains toxins. If you inhale a large amount, it will cause poisoning!"
"We don't need to worry about Mr. Fryer!" Deken said confidently, patting Mondos on the shoulder. "We have the best pharmacist in our team, he can provide us with
Antipyretic and detoxifying agents, the problem you are worried about has no problem at all for us!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Brünnhilde said enthusiastically: "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry and set off!"
One look at her sparkling eyes, and Lin Zheng knew what she was thinking. This girl was always particularly interested in all kinds of strange things. Now that she heard about a huge and extremely heavy monster, what could she do without seeing it?
Lin Zheng gave her a funny look, then turned around and smiled at Fryer: "That's what you heard, Mr. Fryer. Then, let's go to the cave to investigate. See you later, Fryer."
gentlemen."
"No! You should think about this carefully again! It's better to be more cautious!" Fryer said anxiously. Although he didn't know if Lin Zheng and the others had any solution, it was rare to meet a group of people who were ready to find a solution.
Lyle was really worried that some unnecessary accident might happen because of their recklessness!
But when he was talking, Lin Zheng and the others had returned to the carriage and mounts. When he finished speaking, Paz laughed and said: "Don't worry, old man, we not only have Mundos, but also Siegfried."
, there’s nothing we can’t handle!” After saying that, he flicked the reins and galloped towards the south.
Lin Zheng's carriage was at the end. Before leaving, he smiled at Fryer and the others: "Don't worry, we won't take risks casually. Once we find any problems that we can't handle, we will come back!" After that, he turned around.
He shouted to Tang Shuang and Cocoa, and the carriage quickly chased the others.
Looking at the backs of them leaving, Fryer let out a long sigh. It's just that the town can't even find a few decent people now. Otherwise, he can always give them a little help, at least prepare some.
Protective clothing and antidotes are no problem!
"Sir, can these gentlemen succeed?"
"You ask me who should I ask?!" Fryer said angrily, and then sighed again. Being the mayor of Green Forest Town is destined to be uncomfortable, "Now, we will
We can only leave it to fate and hope they can succeed!" Otherwise, he, the mayor, would have to step aside. The strongest administrative building has only two floors left. Greenwood Town has reached the end of its rope!
With the expectations of Fryer and the others, Lin Zheng and the others arrived at the foot of the Hot Spring Mountain. As soon as they got closer, everyone could feel the heat wave hitting their faces, and sweat suddenly broke out from their bodies.
After getting down to the ground, Mondos took out two rows of potions, "Drink the potion first! Double it!"
"I don't need it!" The temperature at Hot Spring Mountain was just a trivial matter to Lin Zheng, and the toxins formed by sulfide were completely negligible, so there was no need to waste the medicine that Mondo had worked so hard to prepare.
"You really don't want to drink it, Siegfried? It tastes very good!" Brünnhilde came to Lin Zheng with four bottles of potion and drank one of them for her. She looked happy when she saw it.
With such a look, everyone couldn't help but laugh and cry for a while, okay, this girl directly regarded the potion as a delicious drink!
After drinking the potion prepared by Mendos, everyone's body temperature immediately dropped a lot, and they could hardly feel the temperature around them. Immediately, everyone summoned the equipment Lin Zheng made for them, even if it was inside
There are no enemies, but this piece of equipment can provide them with good attribute defense effects, which is very suitable for dealing with the scorching heat inside the hot spring cave!
After getting ready, everyone, led by Lin Zheng, walked towards the Hot Spring Mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there was a huge cave entrance. The rocks at the entrance were dark red, and under the sunlight, they shone like a metallic texture! Let's go.
Stepping forward, Noel tapped the hilt of his sword twice, and there was a crisp echo. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's really metal! Is this entire mountain made of metal?"
"It's just that the metal content in this area is relatively high and has been eroded by high temperatures for a long time, so it condenses here at the entrance of the cave. No need to make a fuss!" Lin Zheng said after observing the environment at the entrance of the cave. However, the metal content is indeed a bit high.
It's outrageous. If it weren't for the hot springs, Lin Zheng thinks he could make a lot of money by mining this place as a mine!
Entering the hot spring cave, the temperature rises again. The surface inside is also metalized like the entrance of the cave. I am afraid that only such a cave can remain intact under the impact of that terrible high-pressure steam! The spacious cave has a wide view.
, the light refracted in from the outside makes the metallic cave show a magnificent color change, which is a bit dizzying.
However, after walking a few hundred meters, no one except Lin Zheng was in the mood to look around, because the temperature was getting higher and higher. Although it could not hurt anyone, it was so hot that everyone was sweating profusely. We moved forward again.
After walking about a hundred meters, everyone's vision suddenly became clear!
What appeared in front of everyone was a huge underground cave. The air was filled with a strong smell of sulfur and covered with a light layer of mist. Suddenly, a "Puff--" sounded, and the fog in the cave suddenly disappeared.
It was much stronger. Through the mist, Lin Zheng and the others looked for the sound, and saw a dark wall... Wait! Everyone's eyes quickly widened, this is not a wall, this thing
