Scarcity is a common status quo in the development of lords.
There seem to be many channels for lords to obtain supplies.
It's plundering, points exchange, and market trade.
But in the process of development, it is common for most lords to be stretched thin.
I haven't lived a prosperous life for a few days at all.
Either resources are needed here or resources are needed there.
Just like building a wall, there are two blocks on the east side and several layers on the west side.
Even big investors like Zong have experienced this stage.
Especially when the territory transitioned twice to a state city and a giant city.
There have been situations where resources have been stretched.
Ordinary lords would only be more embarrassed than him.
In order to obtain resources as much as possible and improve development progress.
All lords are looking for ways to expand their access to resources.
Among them, ruins exploration is undoubtedly one of the most popular methods.
There are many examples among lords of getting rich by exploring those ancient ruins.
However, there is also a high threshold for exploring the ruins.
Strength can only be regarded as the foundation, and more importantly, information.
Including the location of the ruins, possible gains and dangers within them, etc.
Without a guide module, most ordinary people's methods of finding ruins are to read books, inquire among the aborigines, or collect ancient items suspected to be related to the ruins.
The first two methods are the mainstream methods for exploring ruins information.
The three Smectas in front of them obtained relevant information from the villages in the mountains.
This dark forest has existed for thousands of years.
Has quite a long history.
At the same time, it is also a mysterious and forbidden place for the nearby indigenous people.
Very few people who fall into it by mistake can come out.
Occasionally one or two will often become crazy.
He muttered "red sparrow" repeatedly.
There was once a hunter who had tamed a flying monster and took the risk of flying through the sky.
But I didn't see the so-called red sparrow.
The whole forest was dark, gloomy and lonely.
It is like a black scar on the earth, which makes people instinctively feel fearful.
The reason why the three of them were able to discover the clues here can be traced back to a month ago.
There is a village called "Hun'an" outside the mountains, where there is a dilapidated ancient church.
It is said that it was the early form of faith of the Holy Light Temple a long time ago.
The construction technique of this church is very rough, using square bluestones.
The stacked style is like the Mayan pyramids on the other side of the earth.
There are still remaining carvings on many bluestones.
Most of them are elements such as shining gods and angels.
The lord's intuition let the three of them know that there might be something here.
The church has been in ruins for a long time and is filled with silt.
No details can be seen from the half-destroyed statue, and only weeds are growing wantonly on the ground.
The villagers usually ignore this place.
Sometimes they would come and pry away one or two pieces of bluestone.
These bluestones are very heavy, thanks to which the church can be preserved.
The three of them searched around inside the church, which was almost filled with silt, for a long time but found nothing, and finally decided to dig out the silt.
After spending several days going back and forth to mobilize manpower.
After almost two days of dredging work, they finally dug out and removed all the mud in the church.
In the next few days, they basically spent time in church.
Finally, a secret drawer was found on the base of the broken stone statue.
The dark side is covered with a layer of runic seals.
After being broken open using violent means, a diary-like book was found inside.
There is also a simplified map drawn on tree bark.
The bark map turned into powder when exposed to light.
Fortunately, the three Smectas were quick and used the recording function of [Channel] as soon as they opened the dark drawer to take pictures for their files.
The diary is written in an unknown ancient script.
The old man in the village said it was an early holy text.
If you go to the Holy City, there should be elders who can translate.
The old man could only barely make out a few bytes.
Because it is too fragmented, it does not form a sentence structure and cannot be effectively interpreted.
Unable to decipher the text, the three of them were troubled.
You can only intercept part of the content by offering a reward on the [World Channel] to find the lord who knows the language.
Billions of lords are scattered in this world, like billions of seeds.
Once the base number is large, anything can happen.
They finally found a lord who knew the text.
After verifying it with the characters mastered by the old man, the other party translated almost one-fifth of the content, and some of it was written in a special way, which the guy didn't quite understand.
This translated fifth means:
"The God of War among the believers sleeps in the dark forest, where there are the ordnance and weapons left by the holy warriors, as well as the indelible shame and regret."
Some minor details were also mentioned.
For example, the God of War smashed the statue of the dark god in anger, and used his sword to destroy a large number of dark believers.
It looks more like a traditional heroic epic.
And what was drawn on that bark map happened to be the route in the dark forest.
This made the three Smectas interested.
In order to decipher this clue, they spent nearly three weeks.
Most of the time after the defensive challenge was spent here.
The three of them would not give up on the clues to the ruins that they spent so much effort to figure out.
They belong to the same [Legion], and the place of arrival is very close.
Plus, they were all sticks, so they naturally joined together.
After confirming the clues, the three returned to their respective territories.
Each person selected more than a hundred of the most elite warriors in the territory to accompany them.
After trekking for many days, we finally arrived at our destination.
It has been two days since I entered the dark forest.
This damn place is really too big.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly along the way and no monsters attacked us.
Instead, they encountered several waves of attacks from monsters in the ordinary forest outside the dark forest.
Following the guidance of the bark map, they struggled to find reference objects.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There will be a stone bar hundreds of meters high around the place where the God of War sleeps.
The stone is oval in shape, inserted horizontally on the ground, and can be seen from a long distance.
According to the original words recorded in the booklet.
It is the tombstone representing the sleep of the Holy Light God of War.
"Park Kyung Hye 1997813: Take a rest, my hunger and fullness level has dropped below 60 points."
"Park Kyung Hye 1997813: The Shuangfeng Ridge we passed just now should be one of the beacons on the map. Logically speaking, the tombstone of Shen Mian should not be far away."
The female Lord Smecta suggested taking a rest in the [Group].
At the same time, the current progress was discussed.
Although there was no danger along the way.
But being in such a dark and dense forest still made her feel instinctively uncomfortable.
Women are inherently more sensitive and suspicious, and have higher requirements for a sense of security.
This makes Park Kyung-hye very uneasy.
Even my mood was a little restless.
"Li Minchang 1999122: Agreed, my stomach is growling too."
"Li Minchang 1999122: I brought the kimchi I made. Let's eat some together."
"Li Minchang 1999122: Let the wandering scout climb to the top of the tree later to see the situation."
"Li Minchang 1999122: Uncle Jin, how are you? Did Huck the hound sniff anything?"
The young man in the team agreed.
The unit he recruits as his main force is scout, and his fighting style is the same.
He has considerable experience in enemy detection and information exploration.
Jin Dazhong, the oldest and most stable person, did not answer in the channel.
He frowned and walked at the front.
Holding a chain made of bronze in his hand.
The chain was very long, dozens of meters long, but it was not thick.
At the other end of the chain was a hound as tall as a foal.
This hound has protruding fangs and looks extremely ugly.
But the sense of smell is extremely keen and can smell a wide range.
You can also discern risk and bloodiness from the smell.
"roar!"
At this point, the ugly hound stopped moving forward.
It barked at the shadowed area in the forest ahead.
This made Jin Dazhong frown.
"No rest."
"Get ready for battle!"
he shouted loudly.
Li Minchang and Park Qinghui quickly drew their weapons and prepared their men for battle.
The caster and shooter are protected in the middle.
Armored infantry stood at the front.
Warriors with buff effects began to release their skills one after another.
Not long after, most of the warriors' bodies were filled with light of various colors.
The forest ahead is filled with mist, and the trees here are already providing shade.
Under the cover of fog, visibility decreased again.
And gradually there were hundreds of shambling figures moving in the mist.
They shook away the mist, and they turned out to be corpses soaked in blood.
"Undead?"
"No, wait, what is that?"
Park Kyung Hye suddenly exclaimed.
I saw a large number of bloody birds emerging from the heads of those staggering figures.
These flying birds are only as big as a fist, but they fly extremely fast.
It has a sharp beak, sharp claws, and red eyes.
"Attack! Attack!"
…
With the hurried call, hundreds of arrows and magic brewed in advance flew out.
A dazzling parabolic barrage formed.
They hit the jungle mist more than a hundred meters away.
Many attacks were blocked by those black trees.
But even so, the fog there was still lifted a lot.
The staggering figure sped up, ignoring most of the arrows.
A lot of those bloody birds were shot down, but the remaining ones were still huge.
The three Smectas still have the basic combat qualities.
An arc of defense was formed in a short period of time.
The warrior standing in front clutched the short spear and shield in his hands.
Sweat soaked the gun handle unconsciously.
"Launch the flame tornado!"
Behind Jin Dazhong, there was actually a whole team of third-level fire spellcasters.
Under his command, the spellcasters chanted at the same time.
Just a few seconds later, twenty-four flame tornadoes took shape.
An average of two dishes per person.
These fire tornadoes are not big, only about ten meters high.
The high temperature after molding instantly set off airflow.
Everyone felt a sense of embarrassment due to lack of oxygen.
Then these fire tornadoes advanced into the forest in the form of an irregular wall of fire.
Flame is still very useful in the current environment.
They moved forward slowly, blocking everyone's sight, and at the same time alleviating the fear in the hearts of the three people.
This kind of dense forest encounter will undoubtedly make people feel nervous.
Lines of light curtains lit up, protecting the front row soldiers.
New magic and arrow shooting are also in the works.
However, the development of the matter was unexpected. Not only did these fire tornadoes fail to achieve success after they advanced, they also turned from orange to red, igniting red flames and pushing forward in the opposite direction.
In the flickering red flames.
The three of them saw a rickety figure holding a huge spherical orb staff.
"Advanced Spellcaster!"
The power of the sweeping red flames nearly doubled.
At this moment, the people at the front were thrown off their feet, and the birds were approaching.
Start attacking those protective light curtains crazily.
Various counterattacks unfolded around the place.
The three Smectas also took out the skills or scrolls at the bottom of the box.
But there are simply too many of these bloody birds.
They were surrounded in just the blink of an eye.
Even if you use skills or scrolls to create a small burst and clear out the bloody birds in a small hemispherical area, it will still not help the overall situation.
Bird carcasses piled up on the ground and quickly turned into bloody slurry.
It's like a quagmire, sinking them into it unknowingly.
From time to time, the light curtain was breached, and the warriors inside were quickly submerged in the birds and their health points were emptied.
There are dense amounts of damage floating around everywhere.
Every scene here is a nightmare for people with trypophobia.
At the same time, this place has become a real nightmare.
"Abahuga!"
Inexplicable language resounded.
Following the flying birds, the bloody armored zombies also came.
All kinds of broken weapons covered in blood came attacking.
This makes the already fragile defense line even more precarious.
The three of them used their trump cards one after another, and each time they were able to clear a small area and take away hundreds of bloody birds and walking corpses, but it still did not help.
There are more monsters coming from the forest ahead.
There is also that rickety figure floating in mid-air.
Like a commander.
After just a few minutes, all resistance disappeared.
Those bloody birds accentuating the three scarred guys are none other than the Smecta trio.
They are all in a near-death coma.
The remaining zombies and flying birds retreated at an extremely fast speed.
There were corpses floating on the bloody slurry on the spot. These corpses were generally intact and had not been torn into pieces. However, the wounds on their bodies were all fatal.
"Hey hey hey."
"Hagu Daga (bring it back)."
"Mogahexiudakebo (the great bloody war god needs them)."
At the command of the rickety figure, the three dying Smectas were dragged away by the flying birds.
The corpses on the spot slowly sank into the blood-colored slurry, and finally submerged into the forest land.
In just the blink of an eye, the slurry soaked into the soil one after another.
The ground here turned dark again.
Except for the area covered by the creep, it looks the same as other places.
No one knows that a battle once broke out here.
After the tragedy of the black forest, everything returned to peace again.
