Arcane brilliance, shining forever

Chapter 348 Giant Beast Buster
After confirming that his daughter was not injured, Old Jack took out something that looked like a whistle, put it in his mouth and started blowing.

A low, but very penetrating sound sounded like the sound of insects.

Lando guessed that this should be some kind of signal, and the target of the letter should be those old buddies of Old Jack.

Noticing Lando's gaze, Old Jack seemed a little embarrassed, and said awkwardly, "Some small means of communication."

Lando smiled slightly, but he didn't care.

Not long after, everyone gathered outside the deep forest. It can be seen that Sally is very popular among this group of old hunters. Everyone who returned immediately came up to ask, and Sally responded sweetly. A smile and a heartwarming 'thank you uncle'.

Maybe this group of old hunters took the risk to come to help not only for the sake of old Jack, but also maybe.

After agreeing to thank everyone well tomorrow, the old hunters dispersed separately. After all, the wives and children at home were still worried about them. At this time, it is better to go back early to report safety, and other things can be discussed tomorrow.

In the end, only old Jack, his father and daughter and Lando, a foreigner, remained in the field.

Old Jack said: "Outlander, I'm sorry, I don't know how to call you that?"

Lando smiled and said, "Mr. Jack can just call me Lando."

Old Jack nodded and said, "Well, Lando, don't call me Mr. Jack, just call me Old Jack, so I can get used to it. You probably don't have a place to live yet, so go to my house tonight."

Lando nodded with a smile.

Back at Old Jack's house, the little girl Sally seemed to have been frightened and tired, and she was already drowsy at this time, so Old Jack told her daughter to go to rest first.

Lando naturally didn't intend to stop it, the serial mission can be discussed tomorrow.

Old Jack signaled Lando to wait a while, and went to the kitchen by himself, and returned after a while, holding a jar of wine and a large bowl of meat in his hand.

The wine is old wine that has been sealed for an unknown period of time. In the bowl is a large piece of marinated meat in sauce.

Old Jack poured a glass of wine for Lando and said, "Brother Lando, thank you for your help this time, otherwise, if something happens to Sally, I won't be able to survive."

Seeing Old Jack's somber face, Lando smiled slightly, and picked up his wine glass to drink with him.

After drinking a glass of wine, the atmosphere suddenly became more relaxed.

The two chatted while eating.

Old Jack said: "You seem to have something to ask me? Ask whatever you want, as long as I know, I will know everything without saying anything!"

Lando pondered and organized his words and said, "Old Jack, I don't know if you've ever heard of a place called the Mechanical Throne?"

"The Mechanical Throne?" Old Jack shook his head after thinking for a moment, "No, I've never heard of it."

Lando nodded, not surprised, and then asked: "Then how do I get to the nearest big city? The busier the better."

Since old Jack can't find out here, then the top people in this secret world must know some information.

Old Jack understood Lando's thoughts, and said, "The most prosperous place must be the capital of the kingdom. Starting from the town and heading north, it takes about three days to reach the Andes Mountains. Walk eastward along the mountains. In five days, you can reach the East Sea Port, and continue sailing north by boat from the East Sea Port, bypassing the Andes Mountains and heading northwest, where is the capital of the kingdom."

"When I was young, I traveled quite a lot. I have never heard of the 'mechanical throne' you mentioned. If anyone knows the place you mentioned, he must be in the capital of the kingdom."

Lando asked: "It's so far away, it takes such a big circle? Can't we go directly through the Andes Mountains?"

Old Jack smiled and said: "Yes, yes, I do know a tunnel that can directly traverse the Andes Mountains, but there is a cave monster in that tunnel, and it is too dangerous to encounter it if you go there. "

Lando asked suspiciously: "Underground passage? Can't it be crossed from the Andes Mountains? Or is there any danger on the mountains?"

Old Jack seemed dumbfounded by the question: "Overpass? What overturn?!"

Lando:? !

Could it be that the concept of crossing mountains does not exist in this world? !

Lord Edison Cornett, the Seventh Arcane Emperor, the design of your game world is a bit crude, right?

Or is this done on purpose to split the map? !

Seeing that Old Jack's expression didn't seem to be fake, Lando didn't ask any more questions, but asked about the Crypt Behemoth.

Although Old Jack had some doubts, he still told him about the crypt monster in detail, and finally said earnestly: "Brother Lando, you are still young, there is no need to put yourself in danger just because of a momentary interest." Among them, the underground passage is better not to go, the scenery on the sea is more worthy of the aftertaste of the bloody man!"

Lando smiled and nodded.

After drinking and eating, Lando went to rest under the arrangement of Old Jack.

midnight.

Lando closed his eyes and slowly opened his eyes.

From the perspective of the mind, Sally, who was sleeping soundly, woke up at some point and was walking outside the house.

Lando could sense that a layer of cold energy was covering Sally's heart, restricting her thinking.

After thinking about it, Lando didn't directly stop Sally, but gently knocked on Old Jack's door.

Old Jack was very vigilant, and opened a crack in the door lightly. He seemed to be taken aback when he saw Lando, and then opened the door with a questioning expression. Lando also saw that Old Jack was carrying a bag in the other hand behind his back handle sharp blade.

Lando didn't say much, but pointed outside, and then walked out first. Although old Jack was a little puzzled, he also followed after a little hesitation.

When I came outside the house, I saw Sally who was like a sleepwalker, and I couldn't help but almost cried out, but Lando stopped it in time.

Today's various situations flashed through his mind, and Old Jack's expression suddenly turned ugly.

Lando nodded to Old Jack, and then followed behind Sally. A fierce look flashed in Old Jack's eyes, and he followed silently.

He wanted to see who was slapping his daughter's attention.

Just as there are poor areas in many cities, even this kind of small town with only two to three thousand people is also dilapidated.

Soon, Lando and Old Jack followed Sally to an abandoned courtyard in the east of the town. Because the gate was broken, Sally went directly into the courtyard.

Lando and old Jack saw Sally stop in front of an ancient well in the courtyard through the gate. After a while, a ray of dim light rose from the well mouth, condensing into a ghost in the shape of a child.

Old Jack's complexion became ugly, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he rushed over.

At this time, Lando noticed a new change in his mission.

[Sub-question: Ghost's Joke]

[Mission description: Sally seems to be confused by a ghost, should you help her, or help it? 】

[Task reward: 10 points]

[Note: You should kill this ghost to remove its confusion on Sally, or you should be patient and learn more about the specific situation, maybe you will gain something else. 】

Is there a follow-up?

Just when Lando was distracted to check the task changes, Old Jack pounced like a cheetah, with a gleaming white light on the sharp blade, and slashed at the ghost.

"do not want!"

Sally screamed, but it was too late.

Although the ghost wanted to avoid it, how could it be the opponent of the seasoned old hunter? It was directly cut across the body with a knife, and turned into a light spot and dissipated.

The corner of Lando's mouth twitched. He felt that he had made a mistake. If he had asked Sally in advance or had come out alone when he found something abnormal, there might be a follow-up mission. Now...

[The side mission 'Ghost's Joke' has been completed! 】

[Get reward: 10 points]

[Note: Maybe it is malicious, maybe it is innocent, everything has been buried with its rest! 】

Old Jack's anxious shout interrupted Lando's thoughts: "Sally, are you okay?!"

With tears in her eyes, Sally said, "Father, you shouldn't have killed it, it..."

(Well, I feel that there is nothing to write about the plot of the ghost, it is nothing more than a tragic death and seeking murder, and the reaction of the old Jack is very in line with his father's personality, so I just skip it and don't make up the word count.)
…………

Early the next morning, Lando bid farewell to the old Jack and his daughter, and embarked on the journey again. The sooner his trial is completed, the better.

It only took Lando two or three hours to reach the three-day journey that Old Jack said.

Looking at the Andes Mountains across the east and west, if he was a mortal, Lando would definitely be intimidated, feeling the greatness of nature and the insignificance of himself, but looking at it now... it's just like that.

I tried to climb the mountain first, but it turned out that I was unable to move forward as if I encountered an air wall after only going up a short distance.

Shrugging indifferently, Lando went straight to find the underground passage.

In fact, even if he could climb over, Lando would not choose to go directly to the above path. After all, it is the rules of the game, and how can he play the game without hitting the BOSS!
Follow the Andes to find the underground passage that old Jack said.

Looking at the deep darkness and the bursts of rancid smell, Lando blinked and stepped directly into it.

The passage is very spacious, with a diameter of about ten meters, and it is an overall oblique downward arc.

There are many small passages around the main passage. These small passages are distributed in any direction of the main passage, up, down, left, and right. The small ones are only one or two meters in diameter, and the larger ones are three or four meters. I don't know where they lead.

The complete darkness can't affect Lando, who has gradually become inhuman. Whether it's the spiritual perspective, the ability of the obsessive body, or his own martial arts realm, it is enough for him to move freely.

The moment Lando entered the underground passage, a brand new mission appeared.

【Challenge Mission: Giant Beast Buster】

[Mission description: There is a terrifying crypt monster living in the underground passage. He will devour every unlucky person who tries to pass through the underground passage. You should find it and destroy it! 】

[Task Reward: Lots of Points, Treasures of the Crypt Giant Beast]

[Note: The Crypt Behemoth is extremely powerful, those who are overconfident should consider it carefully! 】

Lando looked at the mission as he walked, and through the description and annotations, he knew that this giant beast was not weak, and perhaps it was not prepared for 'novices' at all, especially if they were 'novices' who couldn't cooperate yet.

It is conceivable that if you don't advance from here, you will spend a lot of time going to Donghai Port, and then sailing from there to the capital of the kingdom. I don't know how much time it will take.

You must know that other people's strength has only recovered a little now, maybe they don't even have the first stage of Arcanist, this three-day and five-day journey in the old Jack's mouth is absolutely impossible to be as easy as Lando's current journey, just a few hours. Able to.

And Lando regained his strength by hacking, not only can he take a shortcut, but he can also fight the boss to get rewards, it's really beautiful!
Lando cheerfully walked in the passage of the crypt, taking action from time to time to deal with the underground creatures who wanted to sneak up on him.

Just when he walked about halfway to the underground passage...

What?Why did Lando know that he had walked about half the distance?
When he was outside, Lando had visually measured the height and overall structure of the Andes Mountains, and with a little calculation, he could roughly get its longitudinal width, and it was very simple to compare the distance traveled now.

... The ground suddenly shook, and it became more and more violent, as if some kind of giant was advancing.

Lando looked towards a branch passage with a diameter of nearly five meters, where a berserk heart was approaching him.

After a while, a huge monster with a body shape like an earthworm but with many legs like a centipede rushed out.

The huge monster is at least three or four meters thick and dozens of meters long!

It has no facial features, and the entire head is just a huge mouth, which can be split open to reveal layers of ring-shaped sharp teeth inside.

Although the giant monster's body was arthropod-shaped, its epidermis was not a carapace, but a thick, elastic cuticle.

Judging from the aura, this crypt monster is at least of the legendary level, and it is definitely not something that great arcanists who have just entered the secret world like them can deal with.

Except Lando!

If other great arcanists want to fight this boss, they will probably have to stay in the 'New Village' for a long time to recover their strength.

Well, no one should do that, right? !
"Hi!~"

A deep neigh sounded, and the cave giant rushed towards Lando.

Lando's expression was calm. When the cave giant came to him, invisible fluctuations swept across, and everything in the world seemed to be still. Only Lando could move.

He jumped up lightly, came to the spiritual core of the cave monster in the spiritual perspective, and pointed out.

The world is back to normal.

Following the inertia of the movement, the crypt monster directly slammed into the wall of the underground passage, making a rumbling sound, and it was already dead!
