Chapter 214 The thieves in the ruins, the dark battle
Earlier, after the transformation of the troll, Lu Zhengkang went to the woods to retrieve his mother's sword and collected her remains.
This incident did not leave a deep impression on him, and he himself was not willing to look back on this memory.
However, the day after Jonas was sent away, he missed his mother very much.
Dear mothers.
The one on earth, Nati and Paya in Hollow Knight, Liang Rulian and Li Meizheng in Taiwu Picture Scroll, and then there is Nord's mother in this life.
Lu Zhengkang already knew his mother's name, and Jia Erna drank blood.
Garna means warrior in Nordic, and it also expresses determination.
Drinking blood is her nickname and also her last name.
Lu Zhengkang used a giant ax to cut down a tall pine tree, and chopped off a piece of wood as a tombstone. There was no inscription for the time being, and it was simply erected in front of the tombstone. This kind of funeral ceremony is completely different from the Nordic tradition.
The troll man sat cross-legged in front of the fresh tombstone, holding his head with his right hand and deep in thought. His broad body was hidden in the shade of the trees and his robe, just like the figurines in front of the tomb.
The continuous influx of magic energy and the use of magic made his temperament become sentimental. Perhaps this is the reason why Nord barbarians don't like magic. They are like the ice and snow in the sky and the steel in the furnace, pursuing straightforward ideas.
.
The long-lost nostalgia made the troll want to sing a song, but when the words came to his lips, it was like falling into an abyss, without even a ripple or splash.
He decided to turn his attention to the task and updated the log.
[Mission: Exploring Magic Energy]
…
Task three (unfinished): Understand the magic system.
[Task: Language Communication]
…
Task 2 (unfinished): Learning written text
These two couldn't be in a hurry.
[Quest: Coral Dragon Claw]
Mission 1 (unfinished): Go to Ingel Peak
This is too far.
[Task: Explore the surrounding area]
…
Mission 2 (unfinished): Explore the ancient ruins in the southeastern tundra.
…
Mission 4 (unfinished): Explore the shipwreck ruins on the northeastern coast of the tundra.
Lu Zhengkang rubbed his face, picked up the giant ax, and headed east.
The ancient ruins in the southeast are huge. Although most of them have been buried by geological changes, there are only three parts that are exposed on the surface, separated by dozens of miles to a hundred miles.
The ruins that Lu Zhengkang entered from a crevasse in the ice valley. This looks like the main entrance. The highest point of the vault is at least more than three hundred feet from the surface of the ice sheet.
There were several empty barrels at the door, and there was a pool of fresh blood.
Is there a visitor in the tundra? The troll scratched the turbulent mane on his chin.
The black metal door was only one person wide, with exquisite reliefs. Except for some signs of erosion, it was not rusty. Lu Zhengkang suddenly thought of tearing down the door.
Pushing the door open, the wolves filed in behind Lu Zhengkang.
The entrance is a narrow corridor, and at the end is an iron gate. Behind the iron gate is a wide space. The strong smell of staleness and dust fills the place, which is very offensive to the nose.
In addition, there is a human flavor.
The smell of blood. There were drops of blood scattered on the ground, which was very inconspicuous and extended into the inner hall.
Lu Zhengkang frowned. There should be a lot of valuables in this ruins. That kid Jonas wanted to study, so he couldn't let it go.
The wolves were restless and kept circling around the deer Zhengkang. The troll man gave them a wolf and a small head bang to drive them away.
After the corridor became clear, Lu Zhengkang stood in front of the iron fence and found that the open mechanism cable was on the opposite side of the door. In this way, it turned out that he entered the ruins through the back door.
The troll man passed the ax handle through the gap in the fence, reached into the iron ring of the cable, and pressed it down. Hearing the muffled mechanical sound coming from the wall, the fence slowly rose.
Before the rumbling sound of machinery had stopped, a black light flashed in front of Lu Zhengkang's eyes. The troll man raised his giant axe, and at the critical moment, he used the thick axe to block the hidden arrow.
The sound of bows and arrows was already silent, but now the sound of vibrating strings was completely obscured by the noise of the rising fence. In the darkness, the sneak attacker still did not show any trace of his figure.
After the incoming arrow hit the axe, the arrow shaft broke and bluish venom overflowed, quickly evaporating into a poisonous mist that made one's nose ache.
The troll man grabbed the ax handle with both hands and walked towards the hall step by step.
This is a circular hall with a stone structure and wooden pillars on both sides. There are many collapses and damages. Lu Zhengkang is on a high platform with a wide view and a grand style. The tomb is fairly well-lit, and there is a torch burning the brazier.
However, it does not completely illuminate the entire wide space. Large shadows are distributed in the low areas under the steps and around the walls.
Lu Zhengkang inhaled gently and smelled the faint smell of blood.
The troll man is covered by a black robe, except for a pair of hairy hands, and the rest of his body is hidden, making him appear mysterious and unfathomable.
The smell of human beings is distributed in many places. Lu Zhengkang walked step by step towards the direction with the strongest smell of blood. The double-sided ax blade swam in the air little by little without trembling at all. It was stable. A long cone was embedded at the end of the ax handle.
It can be used as a spear sharpener at any time, and a weighted ball half an inch in diameter is embedded at the end of the ax handle, which may serve as a hammer head.
Such a redundant and complicated weapon can really be used as a variety of weapons in the hands of a martial arts master like Lu Zhengkang.
The heavy breathing of the troll echoed like a drum in the deep tomb, but there was no other noise at all, neither the sound of footsteps nor the breathing of a second person.
Little by little, we walked to the place where the smell of blood was the strongest, which was behind an overturned stone pillar. There was no one there, just a pool of blood and a pile of blood-stained cloth.
The entire tomb chamber is closed. Except for the corridor where Lu Zhengkang came in, there is no other way to survive. The sneak attacker must not be far away.
Lu Zhengkang was silent for a long time, and the air was dead silent.
He coughed and said slowly in common language: "I have no ill intentions, I just want money. We can work together to explore the cemetery..."
At this moment, a cold chuckle suddenly came from behind him. When he slowly turned his body, the next moment, the sound of arrows piercing the air came from both sides at the same time.
Does the sneak attacker have companions?
Lu Zhengkang swung his giant ax without thinking, and whipped out a big ball that was watertight. A black arrow was shot down. Looking at the direction, he saw that it was coming from the front.
There is only one person on the other side.
The other party can use illusions and may even become invisible.
Most people must be fooled by using phantom sounds to confuse the audience.
"I repeat, I mean no harm."
Continuous footsteps sounded from all directions, and looking around, there was not even a single figure.
Lu Zhengkang frowned, and a flash in the pan appeared in his palm. A small flame element emerged from the void in a burst of falling flowers, and suddenly appeared. The fire in the tomb room burst into flames. The flame element hurriedly released a bright red ball on a long pillar.
fireball
, the explosion sounded, and a figure wearing red and black light armor rolled outwards, and the short cloak behind his back was ignited by the flames. Before this person could stand up, the troll man had arrived in front of him silently, and a giant ax struck down hard.
, erected in front of the attacker.
After he stepped on the thief's back, Lu Zhengkang stretched out his hand to pinch the back of the opponent's neck. At this time, the thief bent over and raised his leg, and a frost blade popped out from the heel of his boot, piercing the troll's spine.
