The mines in the "Dark Dungeon" extend in all directions, and the dwarf craftsmen used their wisdom and superb forging skills to build a magnificent underground city here.
Adventurers who are not familiar with the passages may get lost in the twists and turns of the mine.
After countless years of silence, this place has become a lair inhabited by various underground monsters, and is surrounded by dangers.
...
After exploring the mine for two days, Raymond finally determined their specific location.
"Bloody Monastery" is a very famous dungeon map on the first floor of the game. It is densely populated with monsters and very dangerous. If not dealt with properly, it will be a fatal threat to high-level extraordinary beings.
But Raymond was not in a hurry. After all, even if the monsters there were cleared away, the "bronze key" would not be easily discovered.
The friends of the "ghost group" were very interested in treasure hunting, so he followed them to "open up wasteland", which was quite leisurely.
The dungeon is so big that it is impossible to completely conquer the entire first floor.
In the past two days, after the "Ghost Group" roughly captured a dozen or twenty dwarf villages, under the guidance of Raymond's hints, they finally found the first dwarf town - "Black Mopan Town". This is
The closest town to the "Bloody Monastery".
The buildings in the dwarf town are very compact and full of three-dimensionality. They are like a bunch of short buildings crowded together, with more than ten floors stacked on top of each other, unevenly.
The limited space is filled with all kinds of necessary buildings. Residential houses, mills, slaughterhouses, tailor shops, herbal shops, blacksmiths with chimneys... all kinds of buildings are mixed and squeezed together, and every corner is filled with
Filled to the brim.
The empty streets looked a bit cold and eerie, with mottled minecart tracks running across the entire town.
The mine carts on the track seemed to have been knocked over by something, falling across the middle of the road, with dark ore scattered all over the ground...
This dwarf town still retains its appearance countless years ago.
It was exactly the same as the scene in the game that Raymond remembered.
...
The mine space in "Black Mopan Town" is much larger, and the view suddenly becomes clearer. Everyone in the "Ghost Group" is very excited. This is a dwarf town that should have been lively and prosperous in the past.
Anna: "Wow... finally found a large town too!"
Colin: "I don't know what I will harvest here..."
Thor: "It must be richer than those small villages. I can already smell a lot of treasures..."
Fat Cat: "Haha, let's go treasure hunting quickly..."
"..."
It was like being accustomed to eating vegetarian dishes with clear soup and water, and suddenly a hearty meat meal came, and everyone was looking forward to it.
Before entering the town,
Anna asked Raymond: "Captain, do you sense any monsters in this town?"
"Yes...and there are quite a few."
Raymond sensed the surrounding situation. The situation here was not much different from the situation in the game.
He added: "Everyone, be careful. There are about six to seven hundred monsters in this town... It should be the lair of the fifth-level 'Crypt Wind Wolf', and there is a seventh-level wolf king. They are lying in wait, preparing
Attacking us..."
"Wow...are they just some wind wolves? Then let's lure them out and kill them first!"
Everyone didn't pay attention at all, as those monsters alone didn't pose much of a threat to them at all.
Raymond: "Well... everyone should be careful. The old rule is to be as quiet as possible. Oh, remember to sprinkle 'phosphorescent insect repellent powder'..."
Everyone: "I know, Captain!"
"Let's go in..."
Raymond was actually very aware of the monster branch in this town. With his domineering perception, the monsters hidden in the town buildings could not hide at all.
In the game, if you want to clear out this monster stronghold, you need at least two or three elite groups of 100 people with an average level of 50 or above (Level 5) to pass the level with "low loss".
"Crypt Demon Wolves" have an extremely sensitive sense of smell and are extremely agile in their movements. In the dark, they come and go without a trace like ghosts.
This kind of monster is also very cunning. It knows how to ambush and get around, and bites the neck accurately and crispy.
They are the nightmare of the legal super!
If this map was played with previous strength, Raymond would use part of his strength to protect the crispy ones in the back row, otherwise these wind wolves that can spit out wind blades would definitely cause heavy losses to the team.
But the current "Ghost Pirates" don't need to be so cautious at all.
Six people, one bear and one monkey walked into the town in a swaggering manner.
Sure enough, when asked about the human aura, those giant wolves lurking in the corners of the building sprang out like wind...
Then, what greeted the monsters was...a brutal massacre.
.......
certainly,
Raymond knew that these "crypt wolves" were only a danger on the surface, but there was also a fatal hidden danger hidden in this town that could wipe out a large team.
A cellar in the town is where the wolves store food. There are many rotting corpses of monsters inside. There are countless "green-eyed poisonous flies" crawling on these corpses. They will inadvertently enter the eyes and ears of humans.
, nose, mouth, anus...each orifice, and then lay eggs in the body to inhabit and absorb the nutrients of the host!
This is a very disgusting way to die in the game - "eating a fly".
Each of these seemingly harmless insects can lay tens of thousands of eggs on your corpse, and then emerge from the corpse, followed by overwhelming black flies... It makes people tremble just thinking about it.
Therefore, Raymond asked everyone to sprinkle some "phosphorescent insect repellent powder" on their bodies.
Now everyone in the ghost group has extraordinary fighting prowess, and the fifth-level "Crypt Wind Wolf" is not much of a threat at all. Even the seventh-level wolf king can only run away with his tail between his legs.
Not long after,
In the huge dwarf town, all the lurking giant wolves were killed by the "ghost group". Although some escaped, it didn't matter.
Six people, one bear and one monkey, no damage at all.
There was no need for the stealthy Arno to take action.
"It's really easy..."
Raymond killed the last wind wolf lurking in the corner, preparing for a sneak attack, and put away his sword.
He looked at the corpses of monsters all over the ground and felt quite emotional.
When he came into contact with this dungeon map in the game, it almost looked like Sequence 4 or Sequence 5.
But at that time, if you wanted to clean up the monsters in this town, you still needed to form a large group of a hundred people. Although the experience was good, the loot you could get in the end was very small.
but now...
If he is willing, he can kill all the monsters here with one knife and one blow.
The "Sword Intent of Time" has perfected him, and killing level five monsters is like chopping melons and vegetables.
Although the ranks are the same, the combat power in the game back then was completely different from what it is now.
Unknowingly, Raymond found that he was already on the road to becoming a transcendent, reaching a height that he had never imagined he could reach.
...
After everyone in the "Ghost Group" eliminated the monsters, they began their treasure hunting journey in the town.
To put it another way, the harvest in the town is completely beyond everyone's imagination, and it is much richer than the dwarf villages.
Even Raymond didn't expect that the benefits from "opening up wasteland" would be so amazing.
This is a dwarf town that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, with all the necessary facilities. The biggest harvest is naturally the various shops. There is no shortage of precious metals among the dwarves. There are piles of gold and silver products in the jewelry shops.
rare...
Even an inconspicuous pottery pot in an ordinary residential house that may be kicked and broken can pour out a heavy pot of gold sand.
If you look carefully, you will find that a certain stone in the wall is a gold ore of high purity...
In the weapons shop, ordinary equipment has long since decayed, and the ones that can survive are of high quality. Small bucklers, knight swords, armors, meteor hammers...
These are equipment with a strong ancient civilization style, and the specifications and models are much larger than those used by ordinary humans today.
This is also as recorded in the literature. Human beings in ancient civilizations were much taller and stronger than they are today. There were also orcs, barbarians, dwarfs... the dwarves would forge weapons and equipment for various races. That era was the real
The era of contention among hundreds of ethnic groups.
...
After everyone finished harvesting happily, they set up a temporary small camp in the town.
Everyone did not light a fire, but gathered together to simply eat some dry food supplies.
All kinds of metal equipment were piled up into a hill in the camp, and gold and silver jewelry were also clattering...
It's no wonder that so many adventurers in the world like treasure hunting adventures. The harvest this time is enough to keep a large pirate group happy for a long time.
Anna is the treasure manager of the group. She counted and summarized everyone's treasure hunt harvest and reported to Raymond: "Captain, we gained a lot this time! There are a total of thirty-five sets of excellent armors, eight sets of excellent armors, various
More than 100 weapons and 200 kilograms of gold sand..."
"Um."
Raymond smiled and nodded, "Anna, you should put it away first. There should be more gains later..."
Anna: "Yeah."
Everyone was very excited and reported their gains one after another.
Colin: "I also found a complete forging workshop and rune workshop in this dwarf town...those ancient civilization equipment gave me a lot of design inspiration."
Of course Raymond knew, because he watched this guy dismantle the complete dwarf forge and put it into the storage ring.
The iron lump is of no use to others, but to mechanics like them, it is a rare treasure for analyzing ancient technology.
"Captain, look..."
Lulu on the side also took out some bottles and jars to show the biological samples he had harvested, "Some of these biological samples of cave creatures are not even in the database of the World Government..."
Anna: "I also found a lot of beautiful dwarf accessories..."
Thor: "The weapons here are more sophisticated than those forged by our giants..."
Everyone was chatting happily while eating,
At this moment, something that was not quite right suddenly came in.
"The meat of those demon wolves is very tender... It's a pity that we can't light a fire here, otherwise I would make a pot of stew for everyone."
Since the fat cat descended into the ruins of the dungeon, there have been more and more signs of turning towards the dark cooking master.
In the eyes of foodies, even though those underground creatures look all kinds of weird, they always think about how to turn them into food.
No, Sha Mao suddenly thought of something, and said: "Oh, I just went to look at the corpses of the monsters. Those fly eggs contain high-quality protein, taste like chicken, and are chewy. They should be very chewy after frying."
tasty..."
"..."
Raymond's face twitched when he heard this, and he warned: "I think... we should just eat some normal food."
Even if this thing could increase attributes, he would never eat anything disgusting.
"It's just...I don't want to eat any disgusting bugs..."
When they heard "fly", everyone looked a little strange.
Those wind wolves just did not do anything to everyone, but the tidal wave of green-eyed flies did not frighten them lightly.
"Captain, you are so awesome...you seem to know everything!"
Nicole was still unclear about Raymond's "prophet" ability, and was a little surprised by his foresight, and then said: "If we hadn't used 'phosphorescent insect repellent powder' just now, we don't know how disgusted we would have been by those green-eyed flies.
Sample..."
Ever since Raymond told everyone about the habits of this bug, everyone in the ghost group felt as if they were swallowing flies when they swallowed their saliva. It felt weird.
Although Lulu, a top doctor, is here, there will not be any life-threatening danger.
But when I think about the countless bugs burrowing into my mouth and nose and laying countless eggs in my body... the picture is simply not too beautiful.
Only then did everyone understand the meaning of their captain's instructions for them to be fully prepared before going to the ground.
At first, the "Ghost Group"'s treasure hunting trip went smoothly, and the crew thought that the underground city was not dangerous in the first place. However, in the past two days, there were occasional gun explosions and screams deep in the mine.
..They then realized that this ruin was not that simple.
Perhaps before they even got here, they were completely annihilated by some underground creatures hiding in the dark.
Raymond smiled and said casually: "Crypt creatures, such as crypt wolves, green-eyed flies, rock lizards... They are all recorded in the "Adventure Encyclopedia"... I saw them occasionally when I was reading.
.”
"Really? I also study a lot. Captain, please don't lie to me..."
Nicole blinked her eyes and smiled playfully.
"Nicole, don't listen to his nonsense~"
Anna knew Raymond so well that she gave him a charming look and said, "If you praise him again, he will start bragging again and say something about 'troubadour'. Don't give him a chance to show off."
"..."
Raymond touched his nose and smiled awkwardly.
This topic did not go on, and no one went into it. Anyway, they all had an almost blind trust in Raymond.
While chatting, Anna suddenly thought of a question and asked again: "Captain, do you think the dwarves in this underground city in ancient times suddenly disappeared? We searched so many small villages, but we didn't even look.
To a dwarf corpse... not even a trace of decay."
Colin on the side also showed a puzzled look and analyzed: "Yes! If it was a migration of ethnic groups, the valuables in these shops should have been taken away, right? But I looked at those forging workshops, and there were even
The semi-finished equipment being built. It looks like...the dwarves should have been living a normal life, but suddenly, it was as if everyone disappeared out of thin air."
"I do not know either..."
Raymond really doesn't know this.
This is also an unsolved mystery in the game.
At least before he traveled through time, the players hadn't found any clues.
Players known as locusts searched the first three floors of the ruins, but could not find a single dwarf skeleton.
More than millions of dwarves in this "dark dungeon" suddenly disappeared. All signs indicate that they disappeared in a very hasty and completely sudden way.
In the game, players speculate that this secret may be related to the unopened fourth floor, or some "secrets" deeper in it!
"Eh...no, there is a dwarf corpse!"
Sudden,
Raymond suddenly thought of the dwarf corpse that the David family miners found in the rainbow mineral seam.
This is also the only dwarf corpse he knows of found in this ancient dwarf ruins so far!
The guy also had half a map, a gold necklace, a "silver key" and a mysterious box that couldn't be opened.
Everyone has disappeared, but the mysterious corpse is still there. Why?
"It seems... If you want to find out the situation, you have to go to the fourth floor of the ruins. However, the 'keeper' on the fourth floor can't be solved..."
Thinking of this, Raymond became more and more curious.
Judging from the current clues, there must be a huge secret hidden deep in this dungeon.
But he also knew that the "goalkeeper" on the fourth floor was the legendary BOSS two-headed dragon lizard "Orgrim" who was at the top of the ninth level.
As we all know, dragon-shaped creatures are one or two levels higher in combat power than normal Warcraft, and these two-headed guys are even more powerful. Just such a big guy blocking the tunnel leading to the fourth floor has delayed countless players.
The passage to the fourth floor of the ruins has not yet been opened.
Now,
Even with Arno, the "best assassin in the world", by his side, Raymond had no confidence that he could kill the two-headed dragon lizard.
The difficulty of the dungeons set in the game increases layer by layer. According to his speculation, even if they kill the ninth-level BOSS, the fourth level must be full of dangers, and it is definitely a place that is fatally dangerous to top extraordinary people.
It was a completely unfamiliar and dangerous place, and he didn't want to take the "Ghost Group" and the others to take that risk.
Everyone spoke one after another and discussed the topic of "the disappearance of dwarves".
But suddenly, Yanuo, who was lurking in the darkness and had never taken the initiative to speak, took the initiative to speak.
"Master, the CP9 headquarters sent me a summons message, saying that a 'big shot' has arrived and asked me to go to Jaffatron to pick him up."
"Hmm? Big shot?"
Raymond was a little surprised when he heard this. A "big shot" who needs someone at the level of CP9 captain to personally handle him must have a complicated background.
Moreover, at this point in time, such a big shot came, either because of the situation in the Giant Country, or because of the dungeon. It is indeed a bit subtle.
He asked: "Did the message say who was coming?"
Arno: "No...the code says 'SS-level person'. I guess the person coming is either someone from the Presbyterian Church in the World Headquarters, or someone from the 'Twelve Sages'."
"That's it..."
Raymond turned his eyes and thought: "Then you go first. If you have any news, please contact me in time."
"Yes, Master."
After this response, Arno's figure quickly passed by and disappeared into the darkness.
Arno's identity has not been exposed yet, so she can play the best role if she stays in CP9 as the captain. Besides, Raymond feels that the "ghost group" can handle the current situation in the dungeon.
Keeping such a top assassin by your side is a waste of combat power.
But he didn't expect that as soon as Arno could get out of the way, they would encounter a formidable enemy in the "Bloody Monastery".
