363 Dungeon
While the fog was dissipating, the group didn't have to think too much about it. The barbarians were reluctant to abandon the supplies. While trying hard to put them into their mouths, they carried their hands on their shoulders and planned to take them away. In the end, Wutong couldn't bear to see it anymore, so they had to release the first-level spell that he thought was the most useless, and used transparent floating discs to transport the big bags wrapped in animal skin away.
Perhaps it was because of "killing" the Fire Elemental Skeleton King, and the next journey was very smooth. After walking for a night, the team never encountered monsters again. Moreover, because the fog dissipated, their movement speed greatly increased. Until dawn came, they finally arrived at the destination on the map...[
Standing on the edge of a huge city ruins, Wutong looked at the long list of floating plates of force field followed behind him. Some were wrapped in huge animal skins, and a few were sitting on them with little loli and a few mage girls. Wutong had to praise the barbarians' appetites and strong. Along the way, they ate nearly one-fifth of the supplies and freed up some floating plates of force field for mage girls to ride.
But it was almost over here. Wutong waved her hand to disperse the floating discs of the force field, and the things carried on it fell down, including the girls, which immediately caused a burst of exclamations and complaints.
Even if Wutong doesn't do this, they will fall down later, because even with the increase of the fire suit, the level 7 can only last for 7 hours and carry 700 pounds of heavy objects, and it does not exist permanently. After a night of travel, the time limit is almost over.
The leader of the barbarian who was almost hit by an oak barrel roared at Wutong angrily, and Wutong shrugged: "Okay, Cole, these foods are here, and no skeletons will be interested in these foods. Besides, there is no way to take these things in. You can bring some things with you to replenish your energy at any time. Throw the rest here and take them away when we leave."
I don’t know if it was because of defeating the skeletons. In the middle of the night, they did not encounter any other monsters along the way. They directly passed through the skeleton’s territory and arrived at their destination. A ruin located in the depths of the crying wilderness - it is said that this is the remains of a mysterious alchemy laboratory left over from the ancient goblin civilization that was destroyed more than 5,000 years ago (-5,000 years).
Of course, it is just a legend. Such places that are legendary as ruins of ancient goblin civilizations. On the continent of Covare, there are not a hundred or eighty. Many people like to post things they don’t understand in ancient history that cannot be verified to prove their erudition.
But then again, before humans ruled the Kovare continent and occupied the dominant position of civilization, the goblin civilization was indeed a highly developed civilization.
As early as 36,000 years ago (-36,000), goblins had already established the first ancient goblin kingdom on the Covare Continent. Since then, many ancient goblin kingdoms have bloomed everywhere on the Covare Continent.
About 30,000 years (-30,000), another indigenous race on the Kovare continent, the Orcs, rose in the western part of the Kovare continent, and established a huge orc empire, and began to compete with the goblins.
In order to fight against the increasingly powerful orc empire, 16,000 years ago (-16,000), in order to compete with the vicious orcs for survival space and rich territory, a great goblin king "Dakarni." unified all goblin kingdoms and established a huge
In the tens of thousands of years of survival war, the higher gnomes have created a brilliant civilization far beyond modern humans, and only a very small part of the civilization heritage they have left behind has been inherited by humans until now.
This leads to the fact that when adventurers occasionally excavate some relics of ancient goblin civilization from certain relics and bring them back to town, a large number of erudites can always be studied, attempting to reproduce the various magical objects invented and created by ancient higher goblins.
The gnomes are astonishingly tenacious. Although the ancient goblin civilization has perished and most of the higher gnomes have faded into a primitive and barbaric race, their number has not decreased at all. They still survive tenaciously and tenaciously like weeds on the wasteland.
The most credible ruins of the ancient goblin civilization among the legendary legends is that there are few people, and few people are willing to enter this damned land full of undead creatures.
Even if someone comes in without fear of death, it is difficult for him to go back alive after arriving here. Adventure is a profession, but even if he knows that he still has to go back, it is not taking risks but seeking death. Therefore, this is the most complete one preserved among the many ancient goblin civilization relics.
Secondly, in some historical documents, it is indeed mentioned that the northeast of the Principality of Andele is the capital and the ruins of the origin of the goblin Emperor Dakani.
However, historical data prove that 14,000 years ago (-14,000), the barbarians of the Northland that migrated from the migrants destroyed and occupied the place.
The higher goblins, facing these tall enemies who were several times their height, could only bear the pain of giving up the northern territory and the imperial capital territory and now.
But this was just the beginning of the tragedy. About 12,000 years ago (-12,000), the dwarves also migrated from the continent to the Covare, and the territory that occupied the continent began to shrink.
About 10,000 years ago (-10,000), in the south, the southeast of the Kovare continent was easily divided into the rule of the elves, and under the threat of the elves, they had to humiliately give up their territory again.
Nine thousand years ago (-9000), a doomsday disaster came to the continent of Covare, and the world fell into chaos. Historical materials lasted for more than 4,000 years ago (-5000), and finally, the ancient goblin empire, which had a history of tens of thousands of years on the continent of Covare, finally fell apart and was destroyed. The goblins then withdrew from the stage of history.
It was not until more than three thousand years ago (-3000) that humans officially landed in Covare and became a member of the Continent of Covare. To this day, it has only been more than five thousand years (+2012).
If indigenous races fight for survival, while humans fight for war, it only took thousands of years to completely erase the history and traces left by the indigenous people of Covare with the fire of war. Now, people can only learn about the sporadic stories that have happened on this continent from certain myths and legends, as well as research reports of archaeologists in a few words.
Regardless of whether this huge urban ruins or the ruins of that year, it is actually not important to Wutong and the others, because they are not here for archaeology, but to find clues to the inauguration task. As long as they know the damn, missing Orangwu Dhammad Trial Team, which has been missing for countless years, they are indeed enough to enter here.
Fortunately, Lin Linling marked the Goblin Alchemy Laboratory on the map printed in the sacrificial hall of the Goblin Tribe. It only takes about half an hour to reach the outside of this site from their perspective.
Although after passing through the skeleton territory, they did not encounter any monsters along the way, and this city with only a large area of broken ridges and broken walls was left, it did not seem like there were monsters moving, but it was scary that no monsters were scary. If possible, they were not even willing to get close to this place. If you want to say that there are no monsters in a notorious and fierce land, will anyone believe it?
Anyway, they don’t believe Wutong, who almost died on the edge, so it is necessary to reduce the load to cope with emergencies at any time. With a large string of floating discs, Wutong cannot even cast spells stably in a state of concentration. In this case, either the casting fails, the floating disc technique fails, or they simply don’t care about both ends. In this way, it’s better to just throw the extra supplies outside.
“...Here!”
Holding the map Lin Linling gave him, Pea looked at the guide while looking at the way, with a confused expression on her face, which made people feel very worried, but there was no way. There was only one treacherous wanderer like him, who was not even capable of doing this job.
The surface building has only one broken stone left. Peas can only judge its former purpose through these collapsed and messy buildings that expose the ground foundations to facilitate the discovery of landmark buildings to determine their location and the direction of the alchemy laboratory.
Seeing Pea lying on the stones from time to time, taking out a ruler and charcoal pen, marking and calculating on a piece of parchment paper, Wutong and the others looked around nervously, alerting themselves.
Although there is no outer layer of gray fog that is heavy like cotton wool, it looks so gray, both the sky and the ground. In addition, the silence makes even the stones here exude a strong dead air, which causes great psychological pressure to people. Everyone can't help but shut their mouths, making no sounds as much as possible, and even breathing is extremely light. Even the barbarians who are careless along the way are tiptoed at this moment.
"I think I know why there are no monsters..." Xiang Yuan muttered softly: "It's dawn, they're all going back to sleep."
"Go to you! Undead creatures and our ghosts are different? Although they hate the sun, they are not under the sun.
iu~’s suddenly turned into blue smoke and disappeared…”
July Liuhuo said in a scattering manner: "Besides, the environment here is so gloomy, can they come out even during the day?"
"Maybe they don't like bright places and get into the ground?" Xiang Yuan argued with him: "Maybe we accidentally stepped on something in a while, and a bunch of rotten zombies popped up around him, and skeletons with broken legs... "
The mage sister concubine, the concubine, was confused and threatening, waved her pink fist: "I warn you! It's scary enough! If you say these scary words, I will beat you!"
July Liuhuo and Xiangyuan shrank their heads, and in this team with strong Yin and Yang declined, the status of male players unconsciously and automatically lowered.
"What's there to be afraid of? This is not a horror movie."
July Liuhuo tried his best to make himself look calm, but his eyes still revealed his true thoughts.
“It’s much scarier here than horror movies!”
Even the elf royal sister, Ghost Light Moon, who had always been calm, couldn't help but feel very uneasy. As an elf and a woman, she had a sharper perception than others. She always felt that something seemed to be peeping at them around, which made her feel furious.
"Finally found!"
While they were muttering, Pea suddenly jumped up excitedly and smiled, "Xiangyuan, you guessed half of it. Our destination is underground, but I don't know if there are sleeping undead creatures inside."
He pointed to a obviously raised mound not far away, which seemed to be the base of a building, but the collapsed stones looked like a small hill after years of dust and mud.
"I hate underground!" The handsome foreigner Ais muttered with his tongue and pulled out his big sword with his hands... He actually had something like a staff.
"Are you sure it's here?"
When I walked to the small hill where there was no grass growing, Wutong looked around and found no entrance: "How can we get in?"
No matter how strong the building is, it cannot stop the passage of time. There must be nothing valuable on the surface. Whether it is from tens of thousands of years ago, things like relics are usually underground.
"I know how to get in, but there is no written on the map... No! It has been written, but there is a house on the map, but now it is a big mound. How can I know where the entrance is?"
Pea spread her hands and said she was powerless. He was a treasure hunter, but he was not an architect. He could identify the direction of the building according to the direction. Besides, in this ghost place, he could not tell the difference between the east, south, west and north.
When Pea reminded him, Wutong suddenly remembered that he had studied subjects. Although he was just theoretical knowledge, he could at least see some clues, so he had to bite the bullet and walk up alone, and began to carefully observe the building foundation buried in the soil, revealing few corners, trying to tell where was the gate.
"...This is the column. This is..." Wutong looked for a while, identified the direction of the building, raised her head happily, pointed to a small pile of stones not far from him and shouted: "There is there! It should be digging it open..."
"Boom!"
Before Wutong could finish her words, among the players who helped find the entrance, a guy was unlucky to step on the ground and fell down without even saying a word. A pillar of cigarettes from Lao Gao spewed out of the collapsed ground!
"Very good! We don't need to dig anymore!" Lin Linling stood carefully in the gap and looked down.
Tong scratched her head, turned her head to look at the entrance she found, shrugged her shoulders, and walked over. In fact, she could enter without having to walk into the entrance, right?
Xiang Yuan stood beside the gap and shouted: "Hey! Are you still alive?" He didn't respond for a long time, and he nodded: "Very good, one non-combat reduction!"
"Do you want to wake up all the monsters and come and welcome us?" Wutong squeezed him aside and looked down. A mage had already thrown it down. There was a wide passage below, but now only one end was left with a small gap. If you clean it up, you can barely climb over the rubble.
Without Wutong's instructions, the warriors took out ropes and wood from their backpacks, started to make simple rope ladders, and laid stones on the rocks that felt stronger as support. Soon more than a dozen rope ladders were put down. Everyone climbed down the rope ladder one by one, and then drilled into the small gap.
Walking through the dark passage, everyone was quiet, and the lighting of the light dance technique was obviously not as bright as that of the permanent torch. Fortunately, Wutong had many such props in his hand. After one of his hands, a bright yellow light shone through the passage. However, in the place where the light could not shine in front, it was pitch black as if some monster had swallowed the light in.
"So much noise, there are still no monsters coming out. Could it be that there are really no monsters here?"
Xiao San followed Wutong with doubts, but Wutong suddenly stopped. Everyone stopped quickly because of his movements. He listened for a while, turned his head to look at Wutong in infinite doubt: "What's wrong? Didn't you hear any sound?"
"Not a sound!" Wutong widened her eyes and tried hard to distinguish what was hidden in the black in front of her: "It's the smell! Have you smelled anything?"
"Taste?" As soon as he reminded him, everyone sniffed his nose. Most of them looked confused, but Pea covered her nose and cursed: "Fuck! It's the corpse smell!"
"The corpse smells?"
"Why didn't I smell it?"
"I didn't smell it either!"
"Your nose is broken! You can't smell such a heavy corpse?"
"Impossible? It's been closed for many years, so how could it still smell like a corpse?"
"That's it! Even if there are corpses, they have already turned into bones or simply turned into ashes! How come they still smell!"
Everyone was talking nonsense, and Wutong suddenly fired a ball in front of him. After a flash of light, Wutong shouted: "Be careful! It's a ghoul!" He said why did he feel so familiar? It's a ghoul he had encountered in the ruins of the underground temple!
