Chapter 740 You said you didn’t want to be here

The structure of Firelink Shrine has changed considerably in detail from what is commonly known.

Although everyone was shouting to set off just now, in fact, for about half an hour, everyone had been running around in the Firelink Shrine, trying to find more details of the changes.

Todd and Desperate Brother just sat aside and watched Hervey and the others running around.

You ask them why they don't contribute?

Because Todd had never explored the Thane dungeon much before, everything about the Firelink Shrine was viewed from the photo stone. In short, he was a cloud player. You asked him to find the details? You might as well kill him.

As for Brother Dimheart, he is just an afterimage, he can't do anything. Do you expect the afterimage to help explore the dungeon and tell you the changes in the same scene?

That's a bit of fourth-wall-breaking horror.

Not long after, Hervey and his men, who had swept out a weapon each from the cemetery leading to the deep underground, returned and continued on their journey towards the buildings built on the mountains, which could be said to be fortresses, bastions, or city walls.

The reason they went to search for this wave of equipment was that everyone's repair light powder was almost used up.

In truly high-intensity adventures, weapons break down very quickly. In the past, adventurers had to carry several weapons with them. If one broke, they would quickly replace it. If they wanted to repair it, they had to find a blacksmith shop. Therefore, few people were willing to use precious weapons in battle. If they were broken and no one could repair them, they would be doomed.

The emergence of repair light powder changed this situation. It can even be said that it has greatly changed the habits of adventurers. Carrying a few repair light powders is much easier than carrying several weapons. Moreover, using the same weapon all the time can also practice the coordination between yourself and the weapon. In short, there are many benefits.

Hervey and the others still had a small amount of repair polish on them, but they were reluctant to use it now.

"Why not?" Todd couldn't help but ask.

"Because familiar weapons greatly increase combat power," Hervey said, trying to get a feel for the two-handed greatsword he'd snatched from the cemetery. "Think about it, if the Church of Holy Light gets out before us, we might face a siege. In that case, any combat power can't be wasted, so we're using unfamiliar weapons to hold the line."

Yes, Hervey and the others also have to worry about the threat from the Church of Holy Light.

Todd has something to say that he's not sure if he should say it.

He felt that the Holy Light Church probably wouldn't come out before them.

After all, no one there would have thought of curling up in a bird's nest, pretending to be an egg, and then being caught by a giant bird to open up a new path, which is like a dream.

Hiss, if you want to explore the dungeon, you still need some imagination.

As soon as they approached the bridge, several zombies covered in tattered equipment suddenly rushed towards the crowd. Their movements were so agile that it was hard to believe that these guys were the zombies known for being slow and weak.

The Spark Knights rushed forward to try out their new weapons, and finally discovered that—

"Hey, this thing is really useful!"

Hervey stared at the two-handed giant sword in his hand, which was stained with the blood of the zombie soldiers, with some surprise.

"The center of gravity is perfectly distributed, the blade is well-structured and smooth, the sharpness is just right, and the combat techniques are simple and practical. Is this really a weapon I could pick up?"

He seemed to be highly impressed by the quality of the two-handed greatsword in his hand.

"Why are you surprised? Hasn't Sion's weapon always been like this?" A Spark Knight said as he slashed with the straight sword that burst out from the hand of a cemetery skeleton.

"Isn't this more meaningful when I say it out loud? Besides, I think this weapon is quite practical in Sion."

Hervey calmed down and shouted, then with one sword he cut the two zombie soldiers who were rushing towards him into two halves.

The weapons produced in the Sion Dungeon, or in other words, all the weapons produced in the dungeons, have one characteristic, that is, weapons with the same appearance basically have no difference in their internal structure.

The main reason is that when city lords place weapons in the dungeon, they basically copy them from the same mother body. This saves trouble and adventurers actually like it because the quality is stable after all.

Gong Qiying fully utilized the characteristics of the Sion Dungeon. Even if it is the same weapon, the attached combat skills will be different. Depending on the type of attached combat skills, the weapon itself will undergo qualitative changes in different attributes.

Using the same mother body to copy ensures the lower limit of the weapon, and the numerous combat skills increase the upper limit of the weapon. This makes adventurers willing to pick up weapons they see during the adventure in the Sen Dungeon no matter what the situation is. If they can encounter rare combat skills such as Frost Tread, they will make a fortune.

It is said that there are still some curious adventurers who are drawing up rankings based on the strength of combat skills. Chasing strength is probably an essential part of every adventurer.

After climbing the stairs, everyone arrived at the building built on the high mountains normally. The conspicuous fortress was not far away, and further away from the fortress, there seemed to be another building that looked even bigger, but the style was different from this one.

It looks like an ancient city?

It was only after they officially climbed up here that they discovered that this was not the city walls, military fortresses and other buildings they had imagined. Instead, it looked more like a town built on the mountain?

In an instant, the name "Immortal Town Outside the City" appeared before everyone's eyes.

Hervey glanced at the Undead Town outside the city, then looked at the magnificent bridge above him and the "fortress" connected by the bridge.

"According to that man full of negative energy, this place is called the Undead Town outside the city. Across the bridge is the Undead Church, and one of the bells you need to ring is right above the church."

He looked at the inconspicuous ancient city in the distance, hidden by the Undead Church, and frowned as he muttered to himself:

"So, what is that ancient building?"

I always feel that it is eerie over there, as if there are countless wronged souls who are unwilling to die in vain and are roaring, gathering extremely deep resentment.

For some reason, Hervey suddenly shuddered. His intuition told him that the ancient city was definitely not a good place.

"If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to go there."

"What's wrong, Hervey? Are you scared? Wahahaha, if you're scared, why don't you give me the captain's position!"

"Let's go, let's go. This town looks easy to explore. We need to be the first to get back!"

Hervey's hesitation seemed a bit frightening to the other Spark Knights. They had seen everything along the way, so how could they be frightened again by the scenery of the Undead Town outside the city?

That's impossible!

Led by the Spark Knights who had become excited again, the group rushed into the Undead Town outside the city and officially engaged in battle with this town that was built like a military fortress.

As soon as they came in, everyone received a very warm welcome ceremony.

Organized groups of zombie soldiers jumped out from every corner and rushed towards the crowd enthusiastically.

It can be seen that these zombies must have been well-trained soldiers before they lost their minds, because even after becoming zombies, which has damaged their intelligence, their fighting still appears to be very coordinated.

Those holding shields ran in front to block the attacks, those holding weapons and fire pots stood in the middle and threw them, and when the Spark Knight approached, they turned around and ran without hesitation. The archers at the back drew their bows and shot arrows wrapped in flames.

Moreover, these archers are the most powerful soldiers. When the Spark Knights break through the siege and approach, they will start from zero frame, quickly throw the remaining burning arrows, and then take out their swords in less than a second to chop at the enemy's head.

If the Spark Knight approached the archers without a shield or was aware of this action and was wary, he would be hit by at least one arrow or sword.

Some greedy little cats can even eat up the full damage.

"It turns out that the monsters in the Sean Dungeon have become stronger." Hervey sighed as he threw the giant thunder spear.

He actually saw some zombie soldiers running towards their attacked companions to rescue them!

Although they were eventually eliminated by the more skilled Spark Knights, this kind of behavior of rescuing companions was the first time that a monster like the Zombie Soldiers appeared.

Their intelligence has improved!

At this moment, a scream was heard from the side. A Spark Knight used a sprint-type combat skill on the zombie soldier, but there was a tightly covered cliff behind the opponent, and the Spark Knight fell directly down.

Spark Knight fell out of this world.

"Hey, was that zombie laughing just now?" Todd pinched his face in disbelief. He swore that the zombie soldier who fell down with the Spark Knight had a smile on his face.

“You’re not mistaken.”

Hervey bit his lip, looking shocked, but this brief shock was instantly filled with the surprise of discovering something new!

"These guys have definitely gotten smarter!"

If you don't look carefully, you can't even spot the place where the Spark Knight fell off the cliff. There are buildings of the Undead Town on both sides, and there are also piles of junk such as wooden boxes next to them. God knows why the back of the wooden boxes is suspended in the air.

The zombie soldier not only knew how to use the suspended traps, but also knew how to choose his enemies. Only the Spark Knight liked to rush around using combat skills.

This was definitely an intentional act by the zombie soldiers.

Hervey immediately told everyone about his discovery. After hearing the news, the others showed the same excitement as him.

It’s like suddenly discovering that the enemy AI in an old game you often play has been updated. The challenge and fun are increased in that instant.

This group of dozens of zombie soldiers were quickly cleared out, and the Spark Knights continued their advance after cleaning up the battlefield.

The most valuable things on the zombie soldiers are probably the various small props that drop randomly, such as flame pots, green flowers and plants, wedge-shaped stone fragments and the like. The weapons they use are unremarkable.

The deeper you go into the Undead Town outside the city, the smarter the zombie soldiers you encounter appear to be, using sneak attacks, ambushes, feints, and all sorts of combat methods to lure the enemy in.

Sometimes the Spark Knights like to predict where monsters will emerge next.

"Behind the front corner, I guess."

"I think it's hanging from the cliff next to it."

"Why can't it just fall from the sky?"

After guessing for a long time, I walked over and saw that enemies were jumping out from under the cliff at the corner and from the sky, and there was even another one lying in ambush under the loose bricks on the ground.

"We need to further deepen our understanding of Sion!"

After guessing wrong repeatedly, even the most stubborn Spark Knight shed tears of unwillingness.

It's not just the monsters' intelligence that has increased.

The terrain of the Undead Town outside the city also reveals a tricky situation.

On the surface, it seems that the buildings are clearly distributed and the roads are wide and easy to travel, but when you actually walk in, you will find that it is not the case at all.

The gaps between the houses are a path that allows zombie soldiers to attack by surprise. There are also hidden roads behind the broken wooden boxes and carts on the ground. Even the bricks that were safe and sound under your feet a moment ago will collapse when you go up, and there are several mad dogs waiting for you below.

Only those who personally enter and explore the Undead Town outside the city can know the complexity of it.

More importantly, after wisdom is improved

These zombie soldiers will also rely on the terrain to fight guerrilla warfare against them!

"boom!"

A flame pot was thrown from the window, instantly detonating the oil barrels mixed in an ordinary wooden box. The fiercely burning flames instantly filled the entire room, blocking people's way forward. Soldiers with mad dogs were chasing after them from behind.

"Damn it, I want to curse!" Spark Knight rushed forward cursing, then accidentally slipped on the soap smeared on the ground by the zombies, and then was grabbed by the four limbs and torn in different directions by the four dogs.

"well"

Hervey waved his hand to summon his weapons, and used the dragon scales moving at high speed in the air to kill the invading enemies. His face showed a sense of fatigue.

At first, it was quite interesting to fight wits and courage with this group of zombie soldiers. However, as the dirty tricks I encountered became more and more difficult to defend against, a feeling of fatigue inevitably rose in my heart.

I even had a feeling that "when will this damn day end?"

To be fair, the zombie soldiers with increased intelligence should not be as advanced as dung monsters.

The real shit monsters should be the ones that retreat and run away when you get close, and then fire bullets at you when you're far away. They summon annoying monsters during battle, self-destruct when they die, and even take away two drops of health with each attack! ! !

That's absolutely unforgivable shit!

"I don't want to stay here anymore."

The Spark Knight, who had fallen off a cliff before and was now being forced to pick up soap, followed behind everyone like an autistic man with a frown on his face.

"I don't want to be here either. I'd rather fight the Holy Light Church."

"I really want to leave, I really want to leave"

"Hold on a little longer. We've come this far," Hervey sighed helplessly. "At least find a bonfire before we go on."

They had finally crossed the first half of the Undead Town outside the city and finally arrived at the bridge that looked very wide.

Across the bridge are more buildings and the Undead Church. There should be a bonfire in a place like that, right?

Based on my understanding of the Senn dungeon, the bonfire must be not far away!

Hervey asked everyone to keep going and never said anything discouraging. However, as soon as he stepped onto the bridge, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

According to his understanding of the Thane dungeon

There should be elite monsters in such a wide area, right?

“Ah!”

As soon as this thought came to mind, a loud roar resounded through the heavens and earth.

Todd pointed to the sky and yelled, "Dragon! Red dragon!"

“.”

The moment he saw the dragon, the taut string in Hervey's heart finally broke.

His shoulders slumped, his eyes lost their brilliance, and he muttered:

"I don't want to stay here anymore."
