Chapter 634 The Ancient Road

Monster?

Although the Master was a little fussy, I still sighed along with him.

It is indeed not easy to live in these days. Many civilians cannot live a life of food and clothing, and are threatened by monsters everywhere. They yearn for the strength of adventurers, who can eat large chunks of meat and drink heavily.

But without actually stepping into this circle, how do they know the pressure that adventurers face?

They only saw the scenes of adventurers enjoying themselves freely in the city, but they did not see the adventurers fighting and fighting in the battlefield during the experience, with their blood spraying and their lives hanging on a thread.

For example, as the wizard just said, the monsters that suddenly appeared on the path of the glacier, the King Crocodile of Kurast, and the king of the misty forest that I once defeated - Angelesmon.

There are many powerful magical beasts that I have never encountered before. These magical beasts are, in addition to monsters, another sharp knife hanging over the heads of adventurers. Although the probability of encountering them is relatively small, once you encounter them, you will definitely be A narrow escape from death.

There are wolves in front and tigers behind, which are not enough to describe the living situation of adventurers. How do the civilians know?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel the same way, and patted the mage next to me who was sighing.

"Don't worry, even if I can't do it, there are other strong men in the alliance. Don't forget the seniors from the second world. Just call any one back. Killing that monster is just like chopping vegetables. The alliance will solve it soon. , just watch."

After hearing my comfort, the mage thought the same thing and couldn't help but nodded.

Although I have no memory that I fought with that monster and was knocked unconscious, let's just try to make an analogy like this. In fact, if this is the case, then it will be useless to let adventurers from the second world come.

Don't forget that I am now at the pinnacle of the pseudo-domain. In addition to combat experience and skills, my domain-level strength is only stronger than the top experts in the second world.

If I am knocked unconscious and run away, it will be useless for adventurers from the second world to join one or two teams. Of course, it is impossible for me to tell the mage in this case.

However, the fact that the adventurers in the second world are not good does not mean that the alliance cannot do anything. The old drunkard is a standard field-level master, and he is probably not an ordinary field-level master.

The alliance's efficiency has always been high. I'm afraid that while I'm unconscious, the old drunkard has already gone to Akala to claim credit for the monster's corpse.

However, if you think about it seriously, did you really fight that monster during the time when you lost your mind? If I were really defeated, with the strength of Xiaoxue and the others, would it be possible to rescue me from the other party? Or is it an extremely bloody lose-lose situation?

Wait, the fire-breathing monster feels... a bit subtle. It always feels hazy, as if it has some influence, but also seems not to have any...

There is also this snow lotus. A single lotus seed on it can actually make a powerful adventurer like me lose his mind. It is really terrible. Who is it? ! !

Ah, there is so much confusion in my mind! !

However, there is one issue that must be clarified first.

"Well, may I ask, where am I now?"

I raised my head, glanced around blankly, then looked at the mage and asked.

"Oh, Elder Fan, this is the teleportation station in the frozen tundra." The mage replied without any hesitation.

"Please help me log in."

Subconsciously, I immediately said this.

Mage: "..."

Wait, a teleport station in the frozen tundra?

Suddenly, I felt a sudden change in my heart. I quickly took out the note given by the little fox and opened it to read.

The crystal channel, then the glacier path, and out of the glacier path is the frozen tundra.

In other words, in the blur, not only did I walk out of the crystal channel, but I also passed through the glacier path, which was also a headache-like maze, and even reached the teleportation station in the frozen tundra?

Thinking of this, I was suddenly shocked. I quickly asked the mage and found out that it had only been three days since I lost my mind.

Three days, just three days, I passed the crystal channel and the glacier path! !

I dare not say that it is unprecedented and unprecedented, but it definitely broke my previous record and surpassed it greatly and perfectly.

Originally, I planned to spend half a month. If I still couldn't get out of the glacier path, I would go back and play tricks with Akala. I would have to "borrow" the teleportation array from her. At most, I would have to walk it all over again in the future. Yes, I believe Akara is not such an unkind person. No, it is very likely that this old fox has already taken this situation into consideration.

Unexpectedly, this kind of unexpected thing happened now, and I, who had already prepared the lines to persuade Akara, suddenly felt like I had lost my footing. I was a little at a loss, but I was happy in my heart.

It only took three days. If you think about it this way, you still have a lot of time left.

"Xiaoxue, come here!!"

I waved to Xiaoxue, who had been standing aside for a long time, half lying on the ground lazily, sticking out his tongue and looking up at me.

Although I don’t know what happened, Xiaoxue played a major role in my being able to walk out of the glacier path and reach the teleportation station in the frozen tundra.

"Thank you so much. I'll call you Guide Dog from now on. What do you think? This name is very majestic." I hugged Xiaoxue's neck and said with tears streaming down my face.

Xiaoxue: "..."

Can choosing a name like this be considered a thank you? Isn't it a punishment?

——The mage on the side also complained secretly in his heart.

After a little tidying up on the frozen tundra, there was nothing to stay in. After thanking the mage, I took Xiaoxue and the others and stepped into the depths of the frozen tundra.

It’s not difficult to walk to the frozen tundra, so you don’t have to worry about getting lost.

Because from here, you can already see the majestic peak of Mount Arreat through the mist and clouds. If you go all the way in the direction of the top of the mountain, you are sure to be right. If you can still get lost in this way, you cannot be called a road fool. But he opened his eyes and went blind.

Each area has monsters that match the regional terrain. This is probably a different kind of survival of the fittest.

For example, in the Crystal Channel, due to the terrain, most of the monsters are melee monsters, such as the Blood King, the Snow Drifter, and the Rot Walking Corpse. Mage-type monsters like the Banshee can only be combined with these melee monsters. Play it out.

Otherwise, if they are alone together, for adventurers, as long as they use a little trick, it will be a delicious dish.

In the frozen tundra, because it is very close to the top of Mount Arreat, it can be reached by walking through an ancient road. Therefore, the terrain does not show terraced steps like the frozen highlands and Arreat Plateau. , at first glance, although there is still a slope, it can be called vast and flat, endless as far as the eye can see.

Therefore, the monsters here naturally have their own characteristics - densely packed demon minions, with demons and fairies distributed among them. The demons and monsters in the Frozen Highlands and Yerrit Plateau are also different. There, they will use the terrain and protect the ruins of the clan. , as an attack base.

And these demons and goblins, in this spacious terrain, have more open fighting methods, teleportation, flame hammer, teleportation, and flame hammer, anyway, they are just playing hide and seek with you.

If the adventurer lacks rich experience and means to deal with them, the adventurer will be directly angered to death by these cunning demons.

There are also many other monsters, including the upright toad-like servants of Baal who wander around like rogues carrying swords, as well as the death squads among the servants, and the suicide followers who caused me a lot of pain in the temple of Niracek.

The tentacle monster Giant Hammer Death always likes to hide its tentacles in the ground to ambush and attack. Xiao Jia's good friend is a tall siege beast covered in iron armor.

Even the Bone Mage and Bone Archer from the previous area also appeared here, but these big skeletons have extraordinary abilities, and they look like they are nearly sixty levels. The small skeletons in their 20s and 30s that I have seen before are amazing. None of them can compare, and I don’t know how to mutate to such an extent.

The most damning thing is their white skeletons. The shadows are hidden in this ice and snow, which is simply a natural protective color. Their ability to hide from evil people is already superb.

Although these monsters can be seen in the frozen tundra, they are negligible compared to the vast number of demon minions.

Finally, I discovered that there were many demon lairs on the tundra. One was an ugly pointed wooden shed that looked like it was built randomly with some rotten branches and rotten wood. A red light flashed, and the demon minions emerged from the crack in the wooden shed. Walking out is much faster than waiting for a while to resurrect in place. No wonder the numbers are so cruel.

After knowing the reason, the trouble will be much less. As long as the demon lair is destroyed, we will be at ease. When these demons are resurrected and the lair is built again, we will already be at the end of the world.

It is indeed true to say that you can run to death when you look at the mountains. The top of Mount Yaret is clearly right in front of you, as if you can touch it if you take the first few steps. However, just a few steps in this visual error is enough for us to leave. Two days and two nights.

These days are the result of my ability to go around and around the battle, and from time to time I ride on Xiaoxue to speed up my pace and move straight towards the top of the mountain. If I were like other ordinary adventure teams, fighting and killing all the way, it would take at least a month. Ten days and a half.

What makes me particularly depressed is that it only took me two days to cross the frozen tundra, but it took a full day to find the entrance to the ancient road. In this way, it still took three days of effort.

Is this the ancient road?

As soon as I entered the Ancient Road, I noticed the difference.

This difference is not visual. To put it bluntly, the ancient road is actually equivalent to a tunnel. It is a shortcut to the peak of the Yeruite Mountains for convenience. Otherwise, even adventurers will not be able to climb that long Towering icebergs facing the cold wind that seems to freeze even consciousness.

Therefore, it does not look much different from a crystal channel or a glacier path. In all directions, there is nothing but ice blocks that are as eye-catching as crystals.

What I said differently is a kind of shock to the soul. It is old, simple, and exudes an awe-inspiring atmosphere, as if you suddenly walked into a solemn and quiet church from the midst of trouble.

At the same time, it is also a reverence for time and history, just like climbing the Great Wall and touching the ancient stone walls, you can feel its majesty spanning thousands of years. If this Great Wall appeared in a foreign country, or had just been completed, , then even if it is a hundred times more majestic, it will still be impossible to experience this kind of state of mind accumulated by history and years.

The instincts of animals are often stronger than those of humans. Therefore, Xiaoxue and the others can all feel this wonderful aura. Their steps are much more steady. They lower their heads, and the eyes of the netherworld keep flashing, not in fear, but in respect.

Respect for time, which is invisible and intangible, but controls the entire world all the time, and is the only thing in this world that can keep pace with the rules.

God can create the world and create rules, but he cannot control time in a broad sense. Otherwise, he would have been able to prevent the doomsday war millions of years ago.

It is a pity that this road, opened with the blood and sweat of countless barbarians, is now occupied by monsters. Thinking that this road and ruins, which are full of admirable atmosphere, are actually filled with monsters, I suddenly feel a pang in my heart. He was filled with indignation over the wanton atrocities committed by the Eight-Power Allied Forces in the Old Summer Palace.

After taking a deep breath, I led Xiaoxue and the others and walked faster towards the depths of the Ancient Road.

The Ancient Road is already very close to Baal's lair. From here on, even I feel that the strength of the monsters is much higher, not to mention other adventurers.

For example, the first batch of monsters we encountered on the ancient road were the three-evolved monster of the Banshee - the Hell Witch, and the second-evolved monster of the Blood King - the King of Hell.

The King of Hell is already a powerful fighter under Baal's seat. Their strength and status are second only to Baal's Guards [King of Death].

A little more than a small team of Styx temptresses and nine hell kings, this first batch of monster combinations was stronger than most of the combinations I encountered deep in the crystal channel.

Even Xiaoxue and the others stopped playing around in the crystal channel and concentrated. Of course, the result of this was that the battle lasted less than a minute.

There is no doubt that Xiaoxue's strength is powerful, close to the demon god level. Although there is still a gap between the great demon Baal, but it is more than enough to play with Mephisto for a while.

If coupled with the tacit cooperation of the other four mutated ghost wolves and Xiaoxue's fusion skills, the power of the four ghost wolves can be gathered in an instant. With such strength, I am afraid that Baal will be able to fight for a while. Not to mention these little monsters.

"Ouch~~"

Xiaoxue lowered her head with some regret, adding blood and feathers to her claws with dissatisfaction, as if she felt that she had lost when she got serious with these little monsters.

"Haha, don't be depressed. There are a lot of monsters in front of you. You can play with some of them." I touched Xiaoxue's head, laughed a few times, and said.

Going deep into the ancient road, the cold wind in the cave became stronger. The road ahead was like wind holes, blowing the biting cold wind. If you were an ordinary person, you would probably be swept by such a strong wind in an instant. Flying, being blown out from a certain air outlet, there is a 10,000-meter-high cliff below. At such a height, adventurers are almost dead, and there is no way.

This situation occurs because the barbarians' burrowing skills are really not very good, and their sense of direction is also poor. In addition to digging the entire passage into a maze terrain, they even seriously deviate from the direction of the top of the mountain many times, digging. While digging, I actually dug into the cliff wall, causing strong winds to pour in from inside. Running rampant inside.

As for the crystal channel and the glacier path, because they are halfway up the mountain and the area is large, although they are still dug crookedly like an ant nest, they are not directly penetrated.

Faced with the embarrassing project of the Ancient Road, the barbarian clan also had a bit of a Q spirit. In the end, they simply made a mistake and announced that the Ancient Road was deliberately dug like this in order to conquer the Arreat Mountains (the Peak of Arreat). It is a holy land for barbarians, and all barbarians are proud to be able to climb there. The young barbarian warriors must withstand this test.

Look, there are so many grand reasons. Who said barbarians are stupid? Tsk tsk.

Of course, although this shot is stronger than a burst of cold wind, which means that the house is leaking and it rains all night, but for me, it is not bad news. At least it shows that the area of ​​the ancient road is not large, far from the Crystal Passage and Glacier Path come big.

And the result also confirmed my guess. On the third day of entering the Ancient Road, I found... uh, the teleportation station of the Ancient Road.

A huge depression seemed to have been dug out alive later. If the teleportation station was built in a cold and windy place, the mages might go on strike.

After logging in to the Teleport Station of the Ancient Road, and with the guidance of the Master of the Teleport Station, I found the exit of the Ancient Road in just a short time, the only passage leading to the top of the Yerrit Mountains. From there, it seemed that I could even I saw the faint white holy light coming in.

However, it seems that if you want to pass safely, you still have to accept some small tests.

A large group of hell temptresses and four to five dozen hell kings, led by two elites and four leaders, squatted at the door, standing in the latrine as if they were constipated and not defecating.

There are also dozens of secondary evolved forms of the rotten zombies [Regeneration Demons], led by another leader, wandering around the edge of the cordon of this group of monsters. It is not ruled out whether these Regeneration Demons will join in friendship when the two sides fight. Watch the procession.

Even elite adventurers would be daunted by such a formation. They would have to formulate an effective enemy-killing strategy based on each monster's position before they dared to try it.

How to do it?

I looked at Xiaoxue and the others who were eager to try, and couldn't help but smile. Isn't this nonsense?

Hey guys, give me a shot...! !

Half an hour later, corpses and equipment were scattered on the ground!!
