Infinite Road Warrior Road

The female archer who led the team reacted very quickly. While yelling a warning, she only plucked the bowstring, and the magic power was automatically condensed into an arrow glowing orange-red, which shot straight at the strange sword that suddenly came to life in Wang Zongchao's hand like lightning.

She is already an elite-level fire archer herself. Even if she doesn't use real arrows, the magic power condensed into arrows can have lethality, and the enchanted longbow in her hand is specially equipped with "enhanced fire damage", "explosive flame splash ", after hitting the target, a flame burst effect will be added, so even if the sword in Wang Zongchao's hand is destroyed in time, the fragments will inevitably hurt Wang Zongchao, but right now the priority is to save people, it seems that there is no other choice.

Then, the female archer realized that she was mistaken again just like she tried to prevent the blood king from coming last time.

The sword that came back to life seemed to be bound by some invisible force. The blade was twisted and flicked violently, but it was always held firmly by Wang Zongchao, and it couldn't turn over at all.As for the magic arrow she shot hastily, it was also frozen in the air by a mysterious force. Not only did it not explode, but the orange flame quickly faded and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Is it a magic shield of the magic power absorption type and a magic force field of the confinement type? Is this person a mage?...or a magic assassin?" The female archer put away her longbow resentfully. It was the first time she encountered such subtle magic fluctuations. , Even after being attacked, there is no visible protective magic, so that she, who is well-informed, has repeatedly made mistakes in judgment.

Generally speaking, although mages can make their magic more concealed at a series of costs such as increasing the difficulty of casting spells and reducing power, this is of little significance to orthodox mages.On the contrary, it is the magic assassin who will consider this aspect.But as we all know, assassins never bless themselves with any protective magic, because no matter how obscure the protective magic is, it will increase the possibility of being discovered, and the most important thing for an assassin to ensure that he will not easily expose his whereabouts.

After several three blows.The female archer has secretly vowed that she will never try to judge the occupation of this group of mysterious oriental visitors with black hair and black eyes.

Wang Zongchao just nodded at her in a gentle and polite tone as if nothing happened, and asked, "May I ask what is going on with this sword?"

"This is a devil's trap, and we generally call it a 'flying scimitar', although it could be other types of weapons." The female archer explained: "When traumatized by a very strong death, the dead soul occasionally It will be attached to some items related to death, most of which are the weapons used by the deceased or the weapons that killed him. When these weapons are polluted by the power of demons, they will have life for a short time, carrying out their past One last thought when using them - destroying their opponents!"

"Let inanimate objects have life?" Wang Zongchao muttered to himself as he looked at the long sword in his hand that was gradually changing from a desperate struggle to a dying convulsion.

"'Activating objects' is a curse ability possessed by many demons. Although this kind of life is often very short, it can be used to create some deadly traps. Many adventurers just tried to open a box of unknown origin. The result was long Swallow the box with its fangs in one gulp. Some large dead wood and stone statues may also be revived to become demon's pawns for this reason. In addition, necromancers also have similar abilities." The female archer is now psychologically The balance has begun to be restored. Although the opponent has many mysterious elements that he does not know, he has common sense for many adventurers.The other party also acted as ignorant as a country bumpkin, fully proving that the other party was indeed a foreign visitor from the far east.

"This information is very important, leave this sword for me to study." Chu Xuan pushed the flat glasses on the long sword, and a series of data streams began to flash away on the glasses.

"It doesn't seem to work..." Wang Zongchao shook his head, while speaking, the long sword had stopped "twitching", and the faint blue magic light emanating from the blade also dimmed.Immediately afterwards, the long sword began to shatter inch by inch, and the fragments that fell to the ground melted quickly, turning into a pile of dirty slime mixed with silver gray and reddish brown in an instant.An extremely unpleasant smell followed, a smell similar to molten iron mixed with sulfur and strong acid.

"It's a pity..." Chu Xuan first expressed his regret indifferently.Then he said: "From the spectral analysis just now, although the material of this sword is still metal, it is no longer an ordinary solid metal inorganic substance, but a very disordered and indescribable material arrangement. Semi-fluid. Perhaps it is this weird structure that subverts the laws of nature that makes this sword come alive, but it is also a very unstable structure, so the 'life' of this sword is very short."

"It's indeed 'chaos'!" Wang Zongchao nodded affirmatively, "It's not just the chaos of the energy category, but also the chaos of matter and law, which confuses the boundary between life and death, subverting the concept of 'inanimate objects can't move' A law of nature."

"Uh, so will the armor and weapons on a person be revived to attack him during the battle?" Logan said, his expression changed slightly.

"It's impossible!" A big, round man with a female archer came forward and said in a low voice. Just as everyone was looking at him to hear what he had to say, he patted his waist hard. The thick hammer on his chest, and said firmly: "I fully trust my weapon, and my weapon will never betray me!"

This completely against-the-will answer naturally lacks much convincingness, but the female archer gave a better explanation: "Enchanted equipment has a certain magic resistance, and it is not so easy to be activated and controlled by the demon. If the demon is really strong enough At that point, you can use other less labor-intensive and direct ways to kill adventurers. Therefore, 'activated objects' can basically only be used to make traps and temporary puppets."

After getting the answer, the Zhongzhou team and others did not continue this topic.However, this important information still reveals the problems that high-tech weapons may encounter in the dark world-after all, general high-tech weapons do not have magic resistance at all.Beyond that, there are likely other constraints that get in the way, so before figuring that out.Can't attack rashly.

At the same time, after some exchanges, the Zhongzhou team and others roughly understood the current situation and the identity of the small group of adventurers in front of them.

This is a vast land called Candulas. The original ruler, King Leoric, together with the archbishop Lazarus, brought a group of knights and priests to form in the name of the Holy Church of Light - Zakarum many years ago. "Bright order" and self-proclaimed king.And appropriated an old and dilapidated temple on the outskirts of Tristram as its palace and rebuilt it (Zakarum can basically be regarded as the Holy See in the Middle Ages, with the right to enshrine the royal family, and King Leoric also Similar to the European kings in the Middle Ages, there are still many small duchies and knights under his rule who only obey him in name and do not have the supreme authority of centralization).

At the beginning, King Leoric won the respect and love of the local people with his fair and tolerant style.Unfortunately, not long after, an evil force that had been sleeping in the dark depths of the monastery for many years began to affect King Leoric's sanity, causing him to become cruel and irritable, and irrationally announced his revenge on the northern empire of Westmarch. war.This hastily waged war ended, of course, with the retreat of Khanduras's army and a horrific carnage.

When Razidaran, head of the Disciplinary Knights of Light loyal to King Leoric, tried his best to collect the remnants and retreat back to his country, he found that the mad King Leoric, who was in deep pain, had been in a panic in the country because of the mysterious disappearance of his son. The killing ring has executed countless innocent people.And when Razidaran tried to dissuade.But King Leoric believed that he was involved in a conspiracy to kidnap his son.He is to be executed for treason along with all the remnants of the army.Realizing that his king was hopeless, Razidaran finally raised his sword and pierced King Leoric's heart full of grief.The once noble king let out a horrific dying scream.He cursed all those who betrayed him, and started summoning dark forces.The original sacred monastery began to fall, and eerie light shone through the dark windows of the monastery.Creepy murmurs and horrific screams came from deep underground, and countless deformed monsters began to appear from the shadow of the church, and all the people of Candulas fell into an extremely deep and terrifying nightmare... The completely depraved archbishop Lazarus also successfully lured a large number of villagers into the monastery, trapped them to death in the dark underground palace where monsters emerged, and died in deep despair and fear as a sacrifice to the devil.

The adventurers who heard the news began to gather in nearby towns and entered the monastery underground one by one, but they all never returned, which increased the strength of the evil army.It wasn't until a master adventurer named Ed entered the ground with two equally powerful mages and archers that he finally eradicated King Leoric who had become the Skeleton King.

Ed was promoted to legend in one fell swoop in that battle.He has become an existence that countless adventurers look up to and envy, but he has become more and more dark and withdrawn since then, and quietly set off for the East more than two months ago.Shortly after he was gone, thousands of MRs began to surge out of the ground, attacking the town, burning everything to the ground.Humans are no longer the masters of this war-torn and cursed land. In fact, except for the well-defended castles and camps, the blood-stained wilderness has been completely reduced to a paradise for monsters and undead.

Among these remaining camps against demons, the Rog Camp established by the Blind Sisters is the most powerful mainstay.Its leader, Akara, as the kingdom's most powerful legendary blind nun, gained some vague sense of the past, future and unknown changes after losing her eyesight through a special ceremony.It was this kind of prophetic feeling that led her to lead a group of blind nuns and female archers out of the fallen monastery in advance, set up the Rogue camp, and tried her best to gather the remaining human forces in this land.

The leading female archer is Flavi, an elite archer from the Rogue camp. The team also includes four other Rogue female archers, plus the barbarian warriors Reynolds, Hawkes and female archers. Druid Wenqi formed a scout team, mainly responsible for inquiring about the movements of monsters, drawing a map of monster distribution, and trying to rescue and gather lonely adventurers and surviving humans to prepare for future counterattacks.After reaching the elite level, the archers of the Blind Sisters all have the "mind eye" ability that is one level higher than the "prophet", which can be used in combat and insight into crises during expeditions.This ability is one of the fundamental guarantees for their survival in the wilderness where monsters emerge in endlessly.In addition, the keen sense of smell and wild perception ability of the female druids in their team are also very important, which makes them almost never caught in a tight siege.On the contrary, he has made many gains and cleaned up many lonely monsters.Of course, all this pales in comparison to the feats of the Zhongzhou team and others when they first arrived.

"Are you sure you only have seven people with you?" Qin Zhuiyu suddenly asked meaningfully, looking intently or unintentionally at a dead tree not far away.

Flavi's complexion changed slightly.But he calmed down in a blink of an eye, and said nonchalantly, "I'm sorry, even we often ignore the existence of Anya, so we almost forgot to introduce her."

At the same time, a short figure suddenly appeared in the shadow on the side of the dead tree. The whole person seemed to be covered with a vague black gauze cloak, and he couldn't even see his face and clothes clearly.I saw that person just nodded slightly to everyone, and then disappeared into the shadows without a trace.

Flavi continued to explain: "At any time, under any circumstances. A qualified assassin should try to keep himself in a concealed state. I hope everyone understands."

"It's normal. It's completely understandable. We would do the same thing if we changed. I just hope that everyone can be as open and honest as possible to avoid accidentally hurting their own people under certain circumstances." Qin Zhuiyu showed a refreshing smile.Gently nodded.It is human nature to maintain the necessary vigilance against strangers, and she will not be too serious with each other.Just like Wang Zongchao must have discovered the existence of the assassin earlier than her, but he didn't even bother to reveal it.

On the other hand, the druid girl, Wen Qi, seems to have a relatively simple mind. She didn't notice the wariness of both parties, but expressed her amazement and envy bluntly: "Sister is so powerful, even my 'wild perception' often can't grasp it. The existence of Sister Anya, is this some kind of investigative magic that hides magic fluctuations?"

The female druid is quite tall, with a fit body without a trace of fat, and her smooth muscle lines are full of the power of a leopard's legs.But the age does not look very old, probably only sixteen or seventeen years old.Although her whole body is covered with totems of beasts and plants, she does not exude decadence and stubbornness like some non-mainstream tattoos. The innocent and curious eyes of the reindeer are not lacking in wildness.

"Hehe, it's not so much magic or ability, it's more like a state, a philosophical idea, people in our hometown generally call it 'harmony between man and nature'..."

"That is to worship nature, understand the true meaning of nature, sincerely unite ourselves with the wilderness and jungle, and guide the power of the father of the oak tree to come to the depths of our bodies and minds? Isn't this the idea of ​​our Druids? Could it be that sister, you are also a Druid?"

To some extent, there are indeed similarities between the unity of man and nature in China and the philosophy of Druids. Through this, Qin Zhuiyu grasped a breakthrough point for mutual understanding between the two sides, and sought opportunities to learn from each other while easing the atmosphere of both parties. Learn things your team might use.

On the other side, as the team leader, Flavi also began to warn the Zhongzhou team and others: "Although I know that you are very strong, you may encounter unexpected dangers at any time when you wander in the wilderness casually, even if each of you has a master rank." The strength of the tide, the countless monsters are still enough to submerge you. On this cursed land, the only one that can provide you with security is the Rogue Camp..."

Although he has not completely let go of his guard against the Zhongzhou team and others, Flavi already has a good understanding of their powerful and mysterious power, and took advantage of the opportunity to recruit them.After all, when human beings are in a weak situation, the more power they can gather, the more possibility they can turn the situation around.

Going to the Luoge camp was originally a mission request of the Lord God. Zheng Zha naturally had no objection to this, and when he was about to agree, Chu Xuan suddenly asked: "It sounds like your Luoge camp can only barely manage to do so at present. It’s just for protection. If you can’t defeat the monsters, the difference is that you die sooner and die later. Don’t you have any effective countermeasures?”

"At present, we are not strong enough, so we can only protect ourselves, but that doesn't mean it will be like this in the future!" Flavi retorted angrily, "Every day, adventurers come here either through the teleportation array or on foot. Support us, and the Northern Empire, Westmarch, will definitely not sit back and watch this land be completely reduced to the territory of hell. The most powerful Westmarch Paladins on this continent will definitely send troops to rescue in the near future, and will send all The evil monsters are crushed to pieces!"

In fact, in the Diablo game, the chivalrous paladins are from the Westmarch paladins, compared to stragglers and rogue adventurers.The established Holy Knights are the backbone of mankind's fight against hell monsters.It is worth mentioning that the Holy Knights of Westmarch do not belong to the Holy Church of Light - Zakarum.As early as hundreds of years ago, they broke away from Zakarum due to their dissatisfaction with the overly fanatical and bloody methods used by Zakarum to purge the "non-believers".Form a nation in Westmarch.King Leoric, who is still loyal to Zakarum, launched a war against the Westmarch Empire not long ago, which is somewhat similar to the fundamentalist conquest of Protestants.It is precisely because of the division and cannibalism of the light forces that the evil forces have an opportunity.

Although Flavi is still full of confidence that the light will defeat the darkness, the Zhongzhou team and others are not happy when they hear the words, but feel a sense of cheating suddenly realized.

"In this case..." Chu Xuan continued to ask calmly, "Then have you considered leaving this land, at least escorting ordinary civilians who have no combat effectiveness to leave?"

Flavi shook his head, "It can't be done, now this half-occupied land is already restricted..."

According to Flavi's explanation, "falling" refers to a certain area of ​​the human world being eroded and attracted by the forces of the lower world and being dragged into hell.The process of becoming part of hell.The whole process needs to meet two basic conditions: first, the power of hell is strong enough; second, the creatures on this land have been completely corrupted.

Lord-level monsters have their own territory in hell.After obtaining enough sacrifices, you can project your own territory into the world.The "bloody wasteland" in front of us is actually formed by the overlapping of the hell scene and the human world.besides.There are also hell projections such as "Evil Cave", "Icy Plains", "Burial Land", "Dark Forest", etc. Almost every projection means that a hell lord has come to the world.The joint efforts of multiple hell lords and the leadership of a certain hell devil may forcibly tear a certain area from the human world and pull it to hell.And because of the serious imbalance caused by this vacant area.A series of disasters such as severe earthquakes, hurricanes and tsunamis will definitely occur in the surrounding areas, and even the surface of the continent will be seriously deformed.

During this process, due to the "tearing" and "sinking" caused by the movement of the space to the lower level, the chaotic space storm full of negative energy will begin to cover the edge of this area, and then form a semi-closed state isolated from the outside world.At this time, adventurers with a certain strength can still enter this area, but people inside the area cannot get out anyway, no matter on foot or by flying, teleportation and other methods.This situation is a bit like falling into a deep pit on a flat ground. It is easy for you to jump into the deep pit, but it is difficult to climb out of the deep pit.

However, the entire "fall" process will last at least several months or even years, and the resistance of the creatures in this land will further prolong this process.In addition, other human forces and adventurers around to avoid harming Chiyu will definitely try their best to save them, so in most cases there is no possibility of success.After all, this piece of land is not some unknown and desolate corner, but a prosperous group with a radius of thousands of miles, located in the important trading area of ​​the Western Continent.As long as you stick to it, the adventurers who will come from all over the world in the future will be enough to drown the monsters from hell.

After learning about the "excellent situation" in the future, Chu Xuan immediately expressed his willingness to join the Luoge camp "with pleasure."The two sides began to clean up the battlefield and prepare to go on the road.

Since Zheng Zha killed six or seven hundred fallen demons at one time, there are now hundreds of trophies scattered all over the ground, including knives, guns, swords, axes, armor, leather boots, gloves, and even rings, among which there are many gold coins. It all depends on the appetite of the fallen demon to swallow everything.In addition, there are actually seven red gemstones.

According to the adventurer, after a monster is killed, there is a certain probability that its magic essence will condense into various magic gems. The attributes of the gems depend on the attributes of the monster before it was alive. ruby.Embedding rubies on weapons and armor has the functions of blessing, strengthening fire damage and defense against fire damage respectively. For example, a ruby ​​is inlaid on the longbow currently used by female archers.Gems are divided into five grades: "Cracked", "Cracked", "Normal", "Flawless", and "Perfect". , one is "crack".

Due to previous accidents, the Zhongzhou team and others paid a lot of attention when collecting the spoils. In fact, they hoped to have a few more "flying scimitars" for research, but unfortunately they did not encounter another one .However, these collected enchanted weapons are basically eroded by the stomach juice of the demons, and the magic patterns engraved on the surface cannot be seen clearly. They must wait until they return to the camp to find an alchemist to identify and repair them before they can be used.

It is also worth mentioning that not all hell monsters run naked to fight. Many of the high-level monsters have their own equipment, just like the fallen magician has his own staff.And the Blood King's equipment is also high-end. His armor, battle ax and flail are all mixed with fine gold. Among them, the flail is also equipped with the effect of "crushing blow", and the battle ax is also added with the effect of "tearing wounds". The double curse of "preventing self-healing" is only a small part of the broken part due to the head-on confrontation between Tomahawk and Amber.The two barbarians in the adventurer team—Reynolds and Hawkes—are quite envious of these two weapons, but unfortunately they can't use their power yet. At least they must be elite-level strength-type barbarians to use them freely.

Although in the propaganda, the hell monsters are a group of monsters who only know how to destroy and are unreasonable.But in fact, Hell also has craftsmen who can make weapons, magic equipment, and traps, and their technology is even higher than that of humans.After all, long before the birth of human beings, hell and heaven have experienced tens of thousands of years of repeated battles and battles, and have already developed their own sets of advanced military techniques.Most of the magic and alchemy of humans today are still learned from hell, and many weapons were originally produced by hell.

It is precisely because killing monsters can gain many benefits, so where there are monsters haunting, many human adventurers will gather like vultures who have found a rotting corpse.This is often not only for survival and justice, but also for interests to a greater extent. It is in this peculiar way that human civilization continues to grow and develop in the struggle against hell.

Before setting off on the road, the Zhongzhou team distributed a "broken" grade ruby ​​and [-]% of the equipment to the scout team as a thank you for their "helping hand" and leading the way. A lot of good feelings.

And sure enough, as Chu Xuan expected, these adventurers are equipped with space equipment made mainly of demon stomach bags. Although the storage space of these space equipment is very limited, only close to half a cubic meter, it is enough for them to Everyone carried light supplies that could only fit in a cart and went deep into the enemy's rear, and collected various useful materials and equipment from the monsters they killed.
