Chapter 201 The World of the Strong
It was a stone statue in the image of a giant.
The height is about ten meters, and the legs are split, as if they are stanced; the left hand of the statue is holding a shield carved from stone. The only thing on the shield can attract people's attention is the face with thousands of hair like poisonous snakes. This makes me unexpectedly think of a legend, that is, the witch "Medusa" who can turn people into stone statues.
In ancient Greek mythology, Medusa, the "snake-haired banshee" is a contradictory character. Of course, these are not what I pay attention to. What I care about is that when "Medusa"'s eyes are opened, any object she sees, whether it is alive or originally without life, will turn into a stone. In other words, only by killing "Medusa" before opening her eyes can she ensure her safety.
Thinking of this possibility, my eyes involuntarily looked at the eyes of the face on the shield. Fortunately, there was no organ of the eyes carved there, which made me feel a little relieved. But the next moment, I exclaimed in my heart, because the continuous fear that arose from the bottom of my heart made me feel confused. Why didn’t I have eyes?
I looked at the face carefully again. There were many other organs except the eyes. And after careful identification, I could still find faint traces on the eyes of the face, and several subtle lines outlined a faint eye socket image. In other words, this face still has eyes; furthermore, it is very likely that it represents the carving of "Medusa".
After confirming this, I no longer considered anything else. I immediately replaced the "Five Elements Battle Bow" in my hand with the "Five Elements Battle Axe". The "Pangu Tianli Technique" used the guardian posture, and a delicate and cute "energy dragon" appeared in front of me.
Without any extra movements, as if I knew what I was thinking, the "Energy Dragon" immediately rushed towards the huge stone shield.
While the "Energy Dragon" began to impact, I noticed that the giant statue, whose center of gravity was slightly tilted forward, began to make a harsh "rattle" sound.
Just when the "Energy Dragon" was about to hit the eye part of the face on the shield I hoped, the shield, no, but the face on the shield that was definitely worthy of the terrifying suddenly emitted a yellowish ray of light.
This light covers the "energy dragon" that is so close to you, and it actually traps the "energy dragon" firmly in an instant and cannot move for a moment.
At the same time, the "rattle" sound made by the giant statue became louder and louder, and many tiny stones fell from the giant statue in this vibration; the giant statue itself changed from the original vibration to the right arm holding the giant battle axe slowly shaking.
After a few seconds, the right arm of the giant statue was completely restored and could be waved in all directions; then the head of the giant statue was the same "rattle" sound, and the head that was originally staring at the front was shaking left and right, and finally turned its attention to the two uninvited guests, "Black Hawk".
Then there was the legs of the giant statue, and the last one was the shield that I was most afraid of, the left arm of the shield with the avatar of "Medusa". As for the poor "energy dragon", when the left arm of the giant statue was completely recovered, it was covered by the yellow light. Finally, it was like pinching an egg, crushing the originally powerful "Five Elements Energy" and turning it into the original heaven and earth vitality.
I looked at the giant statue staring at me with fear, but wanted to escape but found that I had no idea of escaping at all, and I was even stared at by a powerful aura. In my feeling, as long as I wanted to escape, the next moment would be the end of death.
As for the "Black Hawk", I rely on the monster's instinct to know that I could not escape, so I flapped my wings obediently and tried to maintain balance. I could clearly feel the trembling of the "Black Hawk", and it seemed that I was still careless. I should have escaped immediately before the giant statue recovered. But I didn't know that if I wanted to see the truth, I couldn't even support the encounter of the giant statue.
I quickly ran the "Pangu Tianli Art" and "Five Element Art" to relieve the pressure from the giant statue, but the effect was very limited.
With the disappearance of the "Energy Dragon", the giant statue also stood up straight. At this time, the giant statue was at least fifteen meters high. After playing a few axes casually with his right hand, the giant statue walked towards me step by step. In my fear, a powerful voice oscillated: "Who are you?"
English? Although I can understand this sentence, I still put the "universal translator" on my left wrist. After all, in terms of my English level, I am afraid that it cannot be explained clearly. If I can't explain it clearly, it is probably the end of death.
"I am an adventurer who is exploring everywhere. I am very curious to see a cave here, so I come in and take a look. I am very sorry for disturbing your sleep!"
The words I said were still in Chinese, at least in my ears. But for the giant statue, it was in perfect English. The giant statue nodded slightly, and the left hand holding the shield swayed. The original feeling of being stared at by the body disappeared immediately, and the "black hawk" under him no longer trembled, probably returning to normal.
"You can leave now. This is the place where the Demon King is buried, no one is allowed to enter! Get out of here quickly, otherwise don't blame me for not reminding you!"
After hearing such a warning, what else can I do? I quickly urged the "Black Hawk" under my seat to fly back along Lü. A shield with the avatar of "Medusa" has already given me a headache, let alone the giant statue itself.
Instead of looking for the "baby" who doesn't know what it is, I might as well collect more spider silks from "dark night spiders" to make a good deal.
On the way back, we were very lucky to meet a "dark night spider" again. The difference is that the spider web that blocked our way is now only three layers, and it is very likely that the little spider had no time to arrange more spider webs.
Instructing the "Black Hawk" to watch the show, I personally used an ordinary steel arrow to shoot the fragile "Dark Night Spider" into one arrow, then carefully got down on the ground, and used various materials to test the harm of the spider silk of the "Dark Night Spider".
But I found that most materials, such as steel, alloy, bones, ceramics and other materials, can isolate the "cold and poisonous" characteristics of spider silk. I was also confident and boldly used a "bone arrow" to wrap all the spider silk together and put it in a ceramic jar. It won't take long before I can have a new arrow again. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh.
However, now I should leave this cave as soon as possible. Who knows how many dangers are hidden in this place? At the same time, I swear in my heart that if I see a powerful creature like a giant again next time, I will definitely escape immediately and never hesitate. I will no longer be foolishly waiting for the enemy to have a chance to kill me like this time.
After leaving the cave, I originally wanted to leave the "Wilderness World" immediately, but the fact that the reality was already midnight forced me to give up this idea, leave some food, and tell the pedals not to run around, I left the game.
It was about ten o'clock the next morning when it was launched again. Before entering the game, I used to go to the official website and forum to read some things about "The World". I found that the game was very lively these days because the development of oceans and islands made the area of exploration countless times larger.
Not to mention the vastness of the ocean itself, the three discovered islands alone have attracted countless players to visit. Therefore, a new money-making profession has emerged, that is, "Airbus".
After checking the information about "Airbus", I found that it was just a new transportation tool launched by players with flying mounts that could carry two or more people, just as the huge risks taken by players on a ship.
Although the price of flying mounts is much more expensive than that of sailing, many players are willing to accept this superior journey that is both safe and able to appreciate the scenery from high altitude. Especially after a warship carrying more than a thousand players heading to the island in the east was attacked by a group of "tiger-headed sharks" and finally escaped by less than a hundred people, flying mounts immediately became a hot item.
As long as players with a little economic mind and flying mounts start to do this business without money, the information says that some people even earn tens of thousands of gold coins in just a few days. This can be said to be a "huge profit" when the market has completely reduced its price.
However, as more and more mounts were invested in it, the originally high cost of "Airbus" immediately dropped. Players with flight mounts had to turn their attention to new flight mounts, and there were restrictions on the number of seats to subdue new flight mounts in large quantities.
As a result, a trend of pursuing flying mounts has formed throughout the "Oriental Continent". I heard that on the "Mammoth Plateau" north of "Pangu City", there are now tens of thousands of players lying on the ground every day waiting for the "Bald Eagle" who has lost its vigilance to fly down, and then take the opportunity to subdue it. As for how many of them can succeed, that is not what I know.
Another thing that attracted my attention was that the "Western Continent" also began a large-scale search for islands. However, most Westerners are not as fanatical as we Chinese. They are rational and have no benefits. Except for those who really have the passion for adventure, the situation of exploring overseas has not been very enthusiastic.
However, a few days ago, the "Xiongba Dynasty" suddenly issued an "announcement", that is, whoever finds an island first will be rewarded with five million gold coins; of course, players who want to participate in this event must first pay the registration fee of ten gold coins.
Although the "Xiongba Dynasty" has a fierce move, there are still countless "Western Continents" who want to make a fortune. After paying the fee of ten gold coins, they either rowed their own boats or hired fishermen who had upgraded to the "captain" level, and took them to the vast sea to look for the legendary pirates.
With the incentive of money, the efficiency is still good. In just five days, a fisherman named John Ronnie found an island located in the south of the "Western Continent" and successfully obtained five million gold coins, becoming the object of envy of many people.
I pay attention to this news, not to care about the lucky fisherman getting five million gold coins himself, but to find the island. I believe that there are also players who are as strong as me in the "Western Continent". Even if I am not as lucky as me now, once the other party enters the "Wilderness World", then my advantage will no longer be there.
So, the next moment I saw this news, I made up my mind to make the most of the resources of this world. First of all, the players I know, including Kuaishou Yidao, Ba Gun and others, let them enter the "Wilderness World". One is to improve their strength, and the other is to dig out the resources of the "Wilderness World" as much as possible, and not leave too much for those players in the "Western Continent".
Secondly, people with the "Iron Blood Gate" occupy this "Wilderness World". This continent does not have an existence like the "Eastern Continent" or the "Western Continent". First, the gangs that arrive here can take advantage of time, establish national cities, and occupy here.
Finally, we announce this news to all the favorable gangs in the "Oriental Continent" and even help them enter the "Wilderness World". Of course, the prerequisite is to be rewarded. It is a good thing for others and yourself.
Thinking of this, I couldn't wait to enter the game world.
I appeared there on a small platform about three hundred meters outside the cave where the giant statue existed. After a flash of light, I appeared there.
Seeing me appear, the "Longma" who was alone on the platform made a "snoring" sound and rushed towards me. I got rid of the wet tongue of "Longma" who was too enthusiastic, looked around for a week and asked, "Where are the other partners? Why are you the only one?"
"Dragon Horse" was a little dissatisfied with me pushing its head away, but it still answered my question with its unique poisonous fog. I saw the sudden appearance of the black poisonous fog forming an arrow in the air. With the direction the arrow pointed, I found that at a height of about 1,000 meters, my mounts and the "Black Hawk" who were under the command of the "Black Hawk" were besieging a monster in the sky that looked very large.
The monster was very large, just as big as the size of an elephant in reality; it had wings on the back, a long neck, a thick body, a pair of short forelimbs hanging on the chest, and a pair of extremely thick hind limbs underneath; what attracted my attention the most was the tail that was twice its body length, and there was an inverted triangle at the end.
This image is obviously a dragon in Western mythology and legend! From this I understand why I need my own mounts and the "Black Hawk" brothers to barely suppress the other party. During my observation, the Western dragon that had no information in my "scouting technique" almost hurt the "Black Hawk" brothers several times; if it weren't for the "Qu Ru" and others' efforts to rescue him, they would have died long ago.
But it is precisely because of this that "Qu Ru" and the others were quite timid in fighting. Seeing this, I knew the general situation and ordered the "Dragon Horse" to prepare for battle. I roared and told the warring parties that my existence, and the "Five Elements Battle Bow" appeared in my hands at the same time.
Hearing my whistle, my mount and the "Black Hawk" brothers immediately began to retreat and flew in all directions. The "Western Dragon" who suddenly lost the enemy was a little at a loss and didn't know which enemy to pursue.
Later, when I saw my existence, I immediately gave up the idea of chasing other enemies. My flesh wings vibrated vigorously and rushed towards the platform where I was standing.
Before approaching the platform, a black poisonous mist circle appeared around its body. This small change only scared the "Western Dragon" and then returned to its original state. The powerful gale brought by its wings instantly blew away the poisonous mist that originally wanted to wrap the "Western Dragon" and disappeared completely.
I don’t expect the poisonous fog of the “Dragon Horse” to hurt this “Western Dragon”. I shook the “Five Elements Battle Bow” in my hand, and the invisible and strange energy generated by the vibration of the “Soul-Swinging Bell” spreads in all directions, and the “Western Dragon”, which is only more than 100 meters away from me, is the first to be affected.
Under the invisible and strange energy, this "Western Dragon" swayed involuntarily. It seemed that even the dragon could not resist the attack of the "soul-swinging bell". Thinking of this in my heart, a "white bone arrow" coated with a lot of "demon" monster acid and a spider silk that had recently obtained "cold poison" was placed on the "Five Elements Battle Bow" and was pulled into a complete circle by me.
The next moment, the "Bone Arrow" that was intoxicated with the "Five Elements Energy" was shot out by me in the form of a "guiding arrow", and the target pointed directly at the left eye of the "Western Dragon".
The "Western Dragon" in the air was invaded by the invisible and strange energy of the "Soul-Swinging Bell", and the ground was shaking. If it weren't for the instinctive flapping of the wings, it would have fallen to the ground at this time.
However, because of this, the "Bone Arrow" easily came to the "Western Dragon". It may be because of the terribleness of the "Bone Arrow", or the drowsiness in the previous state was completely a way to pretend to confuse the enemy. No matter what, just when the "Bone Arrow" was about to hit the left eye of the "Western Dragon", a fiery red flame suddenly spewed out of the "Bone Arrow"'s mouth, which was not characterized by heat resistance, burned the "Bone Arrow" that was not characterized by heat resistance, and the toxicity on it was completely destroyed.
Seeing the "Western Dragon" that rushed towards me quickly after destroying the "Bone Arrow", I was shocked and quickly jumped off the platform, and then ran to the cave with a giant statue not far away.
My speed was good, and I just entered the cave before the "Western Dragon" caught up with me. My judgment was very correct. The tall body of the "Western Dragon" could not enter the cave smoothly. It was so angry that it immediately sprayed a mouthful of "dragon flame" at me in the dark.
The strong flames followed me and flew over quickly. I could fully feel the heat. Fortunately, the passage of the cave was not straight, but there were still many bends, which made me successfully avoid the opponent's attack in a very dangerous situation. Feeling the loud bang that almost broke the entire cave, I knew I could never look back; after a few seconds, I heard the loud bang of the "Western Dragon" using its brute force to enter the cave, I became more determined.
Wrapped in the "Five Elements Array", I kept rushing forward for a while, and as soon as I reached that large cave, I would be safe. In my heart, I had already outlined a perfect ending for the death of the "Western Dragon" and the giant statue. Of course, now this is just a fantasy. Perhaps, before the two equally powerful monsters have won or lost, or before the two start fighting, I am very likely to become the soul of both sides.
Finally, I came to the cave again, and the sound of the passage behind it being squeezed out louder and louder. Now I can say that I can neither move forward nor backward. If I move forward, I will encounter the giant statue again. I don’t want to appreciate the feeling that is much more terrifying than death. Besides, this time I may face direct death.
And retreating is even more impossible. The "Western Dragon" that was chasing me like crazy must be even more disabled. Maybe the result of waiting for me is to be torn into pieces and then swallowed into my stomach by it.
Thinking of this, I looked at the dark passage around me. I quickly took out the "golden gloves" and "gold shovel" from the "Qiankun Ring" and dug it out on the not very hard hole wall.
But the next moment, I immediately put away these two equipment and replaced it with the "Blade of the Earth". With its sharpness, I easily opened a rectangular pit on the cave wall that was more than one person tall, and also dug a stone slab of the same size but very thin on the cave wall on the other side to block myself.
Immediately afterwards, the "Five Elements Art" was used to inject pure "earth-based energy" into the stone slab to conceal its energy breath. At this time, an unexpected situation occurred. The "earth-based energy" injected into the stone slab perfectly combined with the stone slab, and the gap between the original stone slab and the cave wall slowly disappeared under its action.
In other words, I trapped myself in the middle of the wall. Although this situation caused my breath to completely disappear into the feeling of the "Western Dragon", the problem also followed. The first one was the air problem.
The stone wall where I am is not large. I will use up all the air in just a few minutes. At that time, I may inevitably die of suffocation. At that time, I will have to open a hole in the stone wall, and maybe I will be discovered by that "Western dragon", and I will also fall into a state of death.
The only hope is that before using up all the air, the "Western Dragon" had already come here and fought with the giant statue. Even if I felt my existence, the "Western Dragon" probably wouldn't have time to greet me, a little person. After all, there is no deep hatred between us, right?
Thinking of this in my mind, I silently prayed that the "Western Dragon" would arrive soon, and it was completely reversed from my previous thoughts.
The rumbling sound was getting closer, especially when I was in the middle of the stone wall, which felt even stronger. There were loud noises in my ears, and the sound waves generated by the vibration of the stone wall made my head dizzy. If I hadn't seen the opportunity early and blocked my hearing, I would have been deaf now.
The vibration became stronger and stronger, and the air became thinner. Just as I was about to breathe, a huge shaking made me wake up from my daze. At the same time, I felt relieved that the hateful "Western Dragon" had finally passed.
As I thought, there will be a battle when two strong men meet. The vibration caused by the fierce fighting made me, a little person hiding not far away, almost unable to stand it. I made a quick decision and used the "Blade of the Earth" to cut a round hole into the thin stone slab in front of me, quickly drilled out, and then rushed toward the outside of the cave without looking back.
Chapter completed!
