Planeswalker My Plane War

Chapter 22 Ghost Rong 3
Almost subconsciously, Zhang Cheng remembered several more important combat missions in the first act of the game.In other words, a more difficult combat mission.Tasks such as eliminating wild dogs or killing gnoll scouts are actually not difficult.The former only needs a level 1 profession and can be completed with decent equipment (after all, you can kill one or two at a time, and slowly kill several more times), while the latter doesn't even need a profession - the gnoll scouts are trapped and unable to break free.The reason why Zhang Cheng broke out this time is entirely because he appeared in advance.If he delays it for an hour or two, it becomes an easy killing of the dog.Of course, it is estimated that the gnoll scout will destroy his letter after determining that he can't break free, and it will also use up the healing items on the body during the struggle, and the loot will not be so much.

And dealing with undead is one of the more important combat tasks.

This task is actually quite difficult.If you follow the conventional method and play normally, even if the character level reaches level 5 at this time, you need to save and read more disks, because it is really difficult, and one will die if you are not careful.But in fact, this task is quite different.The cloak on his body, the night cloak, is the key.

Inexplicably, Zhang Cheng suddenly thought of those pictures during the game.The game is actually quite different from reality. Many things that look good on the screen are background textures. Even if you think they are beautiful, you can't move them.Just like when teaching the BOSS.In the game, the gnoll obviously has armor on his body and a meteor hammer in his hand, but after killing it, he found that it was empty and would not drop anything.But in reality, it does get a meteor hammer and a pair of armor on it (though it's garbage and completely worthless to humans).

And that underground city is typical.A lot of things seem to be pretty and valuable things.

He immediately began to carefully recall the game plot of the undead dungeon.In fact, there is really no game plot for this mission. This is a complete reckless wave, killing all the undead creatures.This dungeon has a big boss, a lich.This thing may be more troublesome to deal with, the lich will talk to you, and the three options have three different results.And the three results are hard to say good or bad...

"... Zhang Cheng?" Jia's voice came from his ear.Zhang Cheng was startled, and only then did he realize that he had lost his mind.

"It's okay, I was suddenly thinking..." Zhang Cheng quickly covered up. "What was it like in ancient times?"

"What can it be like?" Jia said coldly. "Xia established the country with blood, Yin established the country with witchcraft, Zhou established the country with alchemy..." He had noticed that the other party was absent-minded, so there was nothing to say.He is a commoner after all, even if the other party has a bad attitude, there is nothing he can do.This is the difference in identity.

He couldn't help but peeked at Zhang Cheng—the other party was a little younger than him, he didn't know how to control a chariot, and he was very weak in other aspects, and he was ignorant even in terms of knowledge.If there is any ability, it is the level of expelling wild dogs.But such a person is a scholar?How unfair is this world!

Those common sayings are like this - in ancient times, people and gods were mixed, and the world was wild, so some people were born nobles, the descendants of the combination of gods and mortals, they inherited the noble blood of gods, and their abilities greatly surpassed that of mortals. the ruler of.Others are weak and need the protection of the former to survive, and naturally become the ruled.

But Jia doesn't believe this statement, times have changed, and he doesn't think Zhang Cheng is much stronger than himself.

Unconsciously, the speed of the chariot slowed down.Zhang Cheng noticed Jia looking around.Obviously, this is the destination.But in reality, it feels like a rugged and desolate mountain.

In other words, you can't feel it in the refugee camps. In fact, there are still too many no-man's land in this world.Not to mention those remote places that are far away from people, just here, an area that can be reached by a chariot in less than half a day's journey, still looks deserted.Humans seem to be accustomed to occupying the plains, living in places with the right natural conditions for farming, or at least easier grazing.Similar to this kind of wilderness, it is basically a no-man’s land.

It's completely different from the densely populated cities on Earth.Not to mention cities, even in the suburbs on earth, you can see human settlements just a few steps away.

"It should be here..." Jia also hesitated.After all, this is what the oracle pointed out. Although its authenticity cannot be doubted, it is another matter to compare the instructions of the oracle with the real environment.

"Yes... it's there!" He pointed into the distance.

There was a slump in the dirt ahead.

Of course, this kind of terrain is very common in the wilderness, and there is nothing wrong with it.But with the guidance of the oracle, things were different.The two left the chariot, came to the edge of the pit, and observed the situation of the pit.There should be a hole below the pit, which caused the soil above to collapse and eventually form a gentle slope.This slope is not steep, and an ordinary person can walk down or up from here without any external help.At the end of the gentle slope is an entrance that is not particularly large. It is not clear from the inside, there is only darkness.

Zhang Cheng went down for a while, convinced that the road ahead was not a dead end, but a deep cave.It's not clear how deep the cave is, but there is air movement inside, and there is something creepy about the wind blowing from it.Inexplicably, standing at the entrance of the cave makes people feel cold.

He stood at the entrance of the cave and looked around.The situation around here maliciously judged that this hole was probably collapsed due to changes in the natural environment, resulting in the exposure of a corner of the dungeon.In other words, this is not an orthodox entrance and exit.Apparently the orthodox entrance and exit are sealed and hidden.From this point of view, it is exactly the same as in the game.

The small map in the game can see the overall pattern of the entire undead dungeon.From the small map, we can know that the "entrance" of the game is not the entrance left by the dungeon builders, but the gap created by inadvertently.

It should be right here.

Zhang Cheng calmed down, then tightened the cloak on his body.The last time he dealt with the gnoll scouts was a real battle, but he knew very well that his level was too low.

He now regrets it a little—only a little, of course.He probably shouldn't be working part-time.Because of the multi-tasking, he now only has a 2nd-level corpse and a 2nd-level mage. If he doesn't have a multi-tasking, he should be able to reach level 3 or even 4.Of course, if this real world can be like a game, and you can get experience points by simply completing a task of chopping wood and feeding a horse, he should be a level 6 mage, and even if he is part-time, he will be at least level 3 or 4.

But on the other hand, after this part-time job now, he will never have a monster that suddenly appears, and then he is lucky enough to wave a crit to give him a second, so that he has no chance to cast spells.Considering how many times this happens in the game (for example, there are many lessons in this undead dungeon), this part-time job is not a loss.

Zhang Cheng carefully checked his personal equipment.This time, he added a new piece of equipment, a crossbow.The weapon cost almost all of his shells (mainly loot and bounties from the gnoll scout side).Oddly enough, in this day and age, it seems people feel like they don't need to pay to equip their men.Huang Gong obviously could give him a crossbow, but he didn't mention it at all.Of course, Duke Huang is not completely unhelpful, at least he seems to have warned the businessmen in the refugee camp, so the businessmen dare not make random offers to him.Therefore, Zhang Cheng finally did not become a fat sheep that was slaughtered by others.

In addition to this, there are supplies for four or five days.But this is actually superfluous - because of the chariot.Zhang Cheng originally thought that he would spend a day or two on the way back and forth, but with the chariot, it is estimated that it will be enough in one night.But fortunately, no matter how backward people are, people also know the skills of drying, pickling, and smoking.Food is not heavy.Water is a bit simpler. He borrowed a small metal pot from the priest of Hou Ji, which can activate the "water-making technique" multiple times a day.

It should be noted that, no matter what the pastor's thoughts were, Zhang Chengzhen only borrowed it with sincerity—that is to say, he would return it to him when he returned.

Then he put Chang Ge down and blessed Ge's head with a "Brightening Technique".

If this dungeon is a goblin or something, he's just courting death by doing this, and it's like yelling at the monsters "Come pay attention to me, I'm here".But Zhang Cheng already knew that there were undead creatures here.It is impossible for undead creatures to coexist with other monsters. After all, even gnolls are at least living creatures.The undead are the enemy of all living creatures—those lowly undead will attack even if they see a living thing, regardless of what type of living thing it is—undead creatures do not see through light.Even if they want to see, they have no eyes.In other words, they don't have the ability to "see" at all, but "perceive" the existence around them.To be sure, their perception is similar to that of snakes, absorbing surrounding pheromones through their tongues.

"I'll wait for you here." Jia pointed to the chariot in the distance.Make a gesture that you are here to stand by.

"Thank you." Zhang Cheng said, he no longer hesitated, and walked forward with the long Ge at will.He didn't notice it at all, and after he said "thank you", Jia was stunned.

After a long time, Jia Cai slowly recovered.Zhang Cheng has already gone in, and now he has to make his own choice.

This is the first time he has seen a noble thanking him, but... he has no turning back.

If he wasn't sure before, after watching Zhang Cheng enter the dungeon with the glowing long Ge, he knew very well what would happen to Gui Rong's reconnaissance - in fact, it was a very stupid, ignorant talent action made.Because many ghosts really can't feel the light, but there are also many powerful ghosts who can feel the light.This is why the powerful Gui Rong, especially the king, Fang Bo and the like, almost always summon dark clouds to change the weather - they hate the sun.

You can easily deduce the consequences: no matter what Zhang Cheng does, he will eventually disturb Gui Rong.And suddenly a lot of surprises.At that time there is no other way but to escape.Indeed, some ghosts are slow and cannot compare with others.But there are also other ghosts that actually run faster than humans, and not only are they faster than humans, they also don't get tired at all.

So it's obvious what action Zhang Cheng will take - in the end, if he can escape the same way, he must retreat with the aid of a chariot.

If at this time he finds that the chariot that was originally on standby is gone...

In other words, Jia doesn't have to do anything, just drive the chariot and leave quietly.He was going to spend a few days in the wilderness, almost until Dr. Kunwu and Qianqian came back.At that time, he reported that he had waited for many days at the outer gate of the place where the ghosts lived, and it was enough if he didn't see Mr. Zhang Cheng coming back.

When he moves to become a doctor of Kunwu one day, he will be able to become a retainer of the doctor of Kunwu.In other words, he finally left his status as a commoner and became a scholar.This can be said to be the pursuit of his life.

Although Zhang Cheng's "thank you" just now made him feel like he did something wrong.This Zhang Cheng did not discriminate against him. To be honest, such scholars are really rare.But when the dream you're chasing is right in front of you, it's hard to give up on feelings like empathy.

And, in fact, it was the only way he could think of to raise his status.Except for Qian, no one could give him such an opportunity.It doesn't matter what he does.

He sighed slightly, then slowly returned to his chariot.When standing in the driving position, he deliberately looked back at the dirt pit.Even he himself didn't know whether he wanted to see Zhang Cheng run out at this moment or if he didn't want to see Zhang Cheng run away.

The pit was quiet and nothing happened.

Jia shook his hand, the four horses stepped forward, and the wheels of the chariot began to roll. "I'm sorry, Young Master Zhang Cheng." He said in a voice that only he could hear.

In the dungeon, Zhang Cheng planted Chang Ge on the ground and decided to temporarily give up his equipment.

It can't be shown in the game, but this channel... this width is not suitable for Chang Ge's use at all.If the Chang Ge is the length of the earth, it is about three meters long. It is useless in such a narrow passage, and it will touch the ceiling and walls at every turn.And he forgot about his cloak.This cloak can hide the human body, but it cannot hide the long Ge.

Yes, the dark cloak of invisibility, that's his trump card.In the game, this kind of stealth ability cannot even be seen by undead creatures.In other words, wearing this cloak, you can enter and leave this dungeon at will.Of course, the premise is that you can't hold a long Ge.Otherwise, even a low-level undead creature without intelligence would feel that a Ge floating in the air is a very strange thing.

To put it bluntly, he made a mistake and wasted a light spell.

Fortunately, it was a trick, and it didn't matter.Zhang Cheng took out the "Dark Vision" scroll he had prepared (since he got the Dark Invisibility Cloak, he quickly got this scroll for himself).Tearing the scroll and activating the magic power stored on it, Zhang Cheng immediately felt that the world had turned black and white.

Just like the early black-and-white movies on Earth, the world no longer has color, only a world of grayscale.Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple have all disappeared, replaced by grayscales of varying degrees.But as compensation for the loss of color, darkness becomes visible, and every detail of this black-and-white world can be clearly discerned.Even a small stone at his feet could be clearly seen.
