Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 124

Evans was the first to jump out of the carriage. The black-haired swordsman had the richest combat experience among them. He held the sword handle at his waist, glanced roughly around, and took a deep breath. After two breaths, he said:

"Adrien, do you smell it? It doesn't smell right."

"Well, it's the smell of mud after the rain." Cyril was vigilant about his surroundings, and the long sword in his hand lit up with silver light, illuminating the surroundings.This allowed Elena and the dwarf who got out of the car to easily see the surrounding scene.

Cyril bowed and looked at the ground under his feet.He hadn't noticed it just now, but after smelling the smell, he hurriedly checked, and found that the soil had obvious signs of loosening and rectification, as if it had just been cultivated.

He frowned, and now it was almost certain that this weird "ghost hitting the wall" situation had something to do with the soil marks under his feet.Although it was the season of reclamation and planting in spring, the place where they were located was full of trees, and it was not the place where the residents of the Usta Hills area grew crops and food. The newly turned soil had nothing to do with the farmers.

"Are there any special monsters in the Usta area?"

Cyril thought, the Usta hills are not an important area, neither a special crop production area nor an important material production area. Players basically only supply here, and if they want to kill monsters, they go directly to Sima In the Taal Mountains, he really couldn't remember any special monsters here.

But after thinking about it like this, he really found a possible answer, but this answer made him even more surprised:
"No way, could it be that those things trapped us?"

"What are you talking about, what the hell is trapping us?" The dwarf Kelan said loudly, holding the sharp little battle ax in his hand, feeling quite disappointed when he got out of the car and couldn't find his opponent.

But Cyril didn't even look at him, but turned around and said to Evans, "Mr. Evans, have you been here once, right?"

"That's right." Evans said, "I lived here for a while before going to Judea Pass to report."

"Then you've heard of a worm called the 'Sundercore', which is quite famous here in the Eustace Hills."

"Sander Corey?" Evans frowned, thought for a moment, and shook his head, "I've never heard of it, maybe it's because it was winter when I came here?"

"No." Cyril denied, "This kind of bug is not big. Their eggs come from the river in the Simatar Mountains. The larvae are washed to the Usta Hills by the Beiling River, and then develop into adults. The next year The adults return to the top of the hill to lay their eggs. We usually call them 'sand fog' bugs—do you remember when I say that?"

He watched Evans' expression quickly become weird, and his face was full of disbelief: "No way? That kind of bug will also run wild? He said, but aren't they the farmer's partner? I remember the rice fields in the Usta area There are all these bugs..."

"They will turn the soil, which is good for farming, and they will also discharge the water in the body, forming a faint mist." Cyril took his words, continued, and then nodded:

"That's right, that's right. But this mist actually contains a small amount of hallucinogenic venom, and food soaked in these mist for a long time will also produce a slight hallucinogenic effect, so the wheat produced in the Usta Hills area is widely known. praise."

What he said was not nonsense. It involved a regional side mission called "Hallucinations?" in the game. The content of the mission was that the residents of several villages in the Usta Hills had hallucinations one after another. Someone was invited here to investigate the reason.

This task can be said to be stinky and long. First, we need to analyze the wheat products eaten by the villagers to find out that the hallucinations come from the food, and then we have to rule out environmental factors such as soil and water sources. Finally, we have to be lucky to get "Sander Cori" Worm this clue.

However, the most annoying thing is that the reward for such a stinky and long task is actually only a little Silver Terry, which is so stingy that the guild leader who grabbed the task wrote a [-]-word essay on the forum in detail, recording the full details of the task. The process has caused countless players to complain about the task.

Otherwise, Cyril would not remember such a mission.Afterwards, many wanderers tried to extract body fluids from the sand fog worms and refine them into hallucinogenic potions, but they all failed, so this kind of worms were never taken seriously again.

However, all kinds of information at this time point to the sand fog worm.Cyril thought for a while, and asked inside the carriage: "Mia, how is the concentration of water elements nearby?"

"Extremely high." Mia gave the answer decisively, "With such a concentration of water elements, I can even perform instant healing."

"This is caused by the mist released by the sand fog bugs." Cyril concluded, "It is this mist that prevented us from reaching the town for half a day."

Elena raised the sword in her hand, and frowned upon hearing this: "But Cyril, what's the use of analyzing this long list? We still can't get out, and there is no enemy for us to fight."

"No." Cyril shook his head, "Now the goal is very clear. In case you don't know, let me tell you first:"

"The hallucinogenic concentration in the mist emitted by ordinary Sandor Corey is extremely low. Only the mist emitted by the mother insect can make us all hallucinated. It should be hidden in a cave-there is a slope near us, right?"

"Slopes... I remember there are." Evans looked around and pointed to the side of the guide, "There."

"Then let's go north. Alina, Kelan, protect the vehicle." Cyril shouted, "Evans, follow me."

"Going north? But the slope is on the south side... You mean, because the female worm wants to protect itself with hallucinations, it will make the enemy stay away from it. The slope is actually on the north side?"

"Exactly." Cyril replied, "So we just need to kill it and we can go out."

Evans asked doubtfully, "Just the two of us?"

"Two people are enough. It's not difficult to deal with the female worm. Evans, you just need to remember that the female worm has three attack methods in total. One, spewing water balls, two, wriggling, and three, calling the little sand worm."

"Sounds like it's not difficult." Evans thought for a while, "Its water polo can't be as big as several meters."

"Of course not, it's just some water polo with highly concentrated hallucinogens. Maybe you will treat the female worm as a beauty after being shot." Cyril shrugged, "If there is a Sihuantu in our team It is a mage, and it will kill the female insect, as long as a simple 'shake the earth', let the cave collapse, and it will die. It's a pity."

He reached out and patted Evans on the shoulder: "Let's go, move faster, and if the beast tide floods into the hills, then our situation will be very bad."

The two walked side by side and disappeared into the night.
