Chapter 68: That Adult’s Strength Is Simply Unfathomable

The drizzle continued from morning to dusk, and it was not until the sun was about to set that the militia stationed in nearby villages and towns finally arrived at the scene.

Looking at the devastated forest, Sheriff Adlai couldn't help but smacking his lips, and Hebal, who was following behind him, muttered with difficulty.

“It’s horrible.”

Adlai did not respond, but just nodded, then turned his gaze to the "Skull Field" covered with vines.

The pale bones stood up one by one, and the horrifying appearance had already made him guess the identity of the culprit.

Obviously, it was the adult.

Rather than what everyone was whispering about, he just wanted to know how the war ended and who won.

At this time, a militiaman carrying a musket came over.

"Sir! We found a hunter! He seems to be from our town."

"Take me there."

"yes!"

Looking at the clearing sky, Adlai took off his stuffy raincoat and stuffed it into the hands of the militia captain who was following behind him, then walked towards the river not far away.

Several militiamen were surrounding a man who looked like a hunter. Judging from his sneaky appearance, he was probably a poacher without the lord's authorization.

This is actually very common.

If every hunter honestly brought the prey they hunted back to the lord's hunting lodge for processing, they would even have to pay to buy meat from the butcher.

Just as farmers would pick up bits of vacant land to cultivate vegetable gardens, most of the time the lords turned a blind eye to these thieves.

But as a sheriff, he still had to say something when he saw it.

"What are you doing here?"

Levink said nervously, recognizing the officer's face.

"I, I came back to pick up the axe I dropped."

Good job.

He is also a "poacher".

Adlai raised his brows.

"ax?"

Levink nodded nervously, still holding on to a glimmer of hope.

"Yes, my axe was right here, but it was gone when I came back... Did you see it?"

"We didn't see even a piece of iron at the scene," Adlai glanced behind him, then looked at him and asked, "How did you lose your axe? Do you remember?"

Levink nodded hurriedly, and the fear he felt at that time seemed to reappear in his eyes.

"Giant, giant dragon..."

Adlai frowned.

"A dragon?"

Levink nodded nervously and spoke incoherently.

"Yes! What a huge dragon... Its head is taller than the pine trees here! Not only that, it also got really angry, breathing flames from its mouth, and the whole forest was on fire!"

Adlai stared into his eyes, trying to sort out what was true and what was a lie.

"How far away were you?"

Levink replied nervously.

"It seems to be about two or three hundred meters... I don't know the exact details. How can I calculate something like that in detail? It's beyond my range anyway."

"Anything else? Besides the dragon, what else did you see?"

"Also, there are some lizards and undead, but they are not very clear."

Looking at the honest hunter, Adlai continued to ask.

“Who won in the end?”

Levink's breathing stagnated, and he subconsciously recalled the situation at that time, and finally smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"I don't know. How could I know? But I guess the dragon must have lost... After all, if such a big creature flew away, I would definitely see it. Then I couldn't hear its roar while running, and when I came back, it disappeared. It must have lay down."

A very simple judgment.

There were indeed huge claw marks and traces of a giant creature crushing the ground at the scene.

Not only that, one of the entrances to the maze was also destroyed. I wonder if it was also the work of the dragon.

Adlai fell into deep thought, trying to reconstruct the scene in his mind, and felt that there was nothing wrong with what this guy said.

I just didn’t expect that adult to have the ability to slay a dragon.

This might be even stronger than Grand Duke Campbell...

As soon as this ungodly thought appeared in his mind, he shook his head and dispelled it.

How can man compare with God?

I am confused too.

Looking at his superior who remained silent, Hebal felt that he should say something, but after thinking for a long time, he could only ask a question that even he thought was stupid.

"Why didn't you take a closer look?"

Levink stared at him with a strange expression and couldn't help but speak.

"Sir, that's a dragon, not a wolf or a bear... If I don't run away, do you expect me to slay the dragon with an axe?"

I'm not a militiaman, why should I care so much about you?

The more Levink thought about it, the more dissatisfied he became.

This "shield thrower" is so shameless to ask!

Whether Abel actually encountered a lich that day is still debatable, but it is certain that he encountered only two skeleton soldiers! Levink felt that there was nothing shameful about running away. He was just a hunter who wanted to secretly chop some firewood and bring it home.

He didn't even bring a bow and arrow with him for fear of being misunderstood! Adlai patted Hebar's shoulder, motioning him to give it to him, and then looked at the old hunter and continued.

"Did you find your axe?"

Levink shook his head timidly.

"No."

"Then don't look for it anymore. Let's go back." Adlai looked around and whispered, "Nominally, this is also the territory of Baron Gus. That miser won't like to hear someone secretly chopping down his trees, unless you are also a dragon... So you know what to say and what not to say."

Levink's expression changed slightly.

This is also Baron Gus's territory? !

He even walked more than ten kilometers on purpose!

"Saint Sith, how much land did you grant to the Guts family..."

Levink groaned and complained, but finally walked away dejected.

Adlai ignored the guy and squatted beside the river to check it out.

Someone dug a canal here to bring river water into the maze. I think that adult must have done this for this purpose.

As for why the dragon was alarmed, he really couldn't figure it out.

Not long after, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance, and soon five men on war horses came rushing over from a distance.

Adlai recognized the man in the lead, even though he was wearing a helmet.

When Guts whipped him, this guy stood on Guts's left as a servant, with his hand on the sword at all times.

The man raised his chin when he saw him and asked arrogantly.

“What’s going on here?”

Adlai did not offend him, but answered truthfully.

"Someone reported seeing a dragon."

"Giant dragon?!"

The man's eyes widened, he grabbed the reins in his hands, and almost fell off the horse.

"When did it happen?"

Adlai: "Maybe in the morning, maybe in the afternoon... Anyway, it's today."

The man continued aggressively.

"Why didn't anyone go to Baron Gus's mansion to report the situation?"

"Because we just arrived, if nothing unexpected happens, you will get the news tomorrow," Adlai continued, looking at the unfriendly guy, "and I have to remind you that it is the lord's duty to protect the security of the territory. I thought the guy on horseback would arrive before me."

The man on the horse had a gloomy look on his face and glared at Adlai fiercely.

"I will report the situation here truthfully to Master Gus."

"Go ahead, and by the way, say hello to the respected Master Gus for me." Adlai bowed slightly respectfully, hiding his disgusted look behind his lowered forehead.

Several horses galloped away.

Until the very end, the leading man didn't even glance at the messy scene.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Adlai even suspected that he had not seen the pale bone at all.

But, if you didn’t see it, then you didn’t see it.

The guy who was looking for a job might not have much respect for Mr. Gus, just like how I respected Saint Sis for more than 30 years.

After usurping the church in Silverpine Town and no one had discovered it for such a long time, Adlai found that he had less and less respect for those so-called titles...

noble.

That's all.

…

North Peak Mine.

On the way back to the capital, Missy, floating in the air, sang happily, and turned the flattery into a doggerel.

"The dragon is big, the dragon is strong, and its wings are like a wall of wind~"

"When the devil comes, don't be afraid of it. Wave your hands, chant the spell, and the dragon will flutter and lie on the ground~"

It’s a pity that the players didn’t understand.

Otherwise, Luo Yan wasn't sure if he would blush and try to find a crack on the ground.

Or, as a magnanimous monarch, should he laugh out loud to hide the embarrassment that was about to break out?

“Hahahaha!” Luo Yan, who always did what he thought, laughed heartily and praised with high emotional intelligence, “Good singing, Missy. It seems that you are not only good at pranks, but also have a talent for composing music.”

Missy happily spun around in the sky.

"Hehe! The Demon King loves to listen. Missy can sing all night long!"

"Your spirit is commendable! But you are not allowed to sing it again next time."

"ah???"

Missy looked deeply shocked, and her tail, which had been standing up like an antenna, drooped down instantly. Arakdo, who was ridden by Luo Yan, laughed out loud "Hahaha".

This flatterer! He had disliked her for a long time.

Missy glared at Arakdo hatefully, but quickly adjusted her mood and approached Luo Yan attentively.

"Master Demon! When are we going to prepare a big plate of chicken? No, it's a reward. No, no, I don't mean to ask for a reward. I actually want to ask you when you plan to hold a banquet to celebrate the great victory!"

Big plate chicken? Where did this guy hear that term?

Luo Yan didn't even remember when he said that.

"I'll wait a while. I still have to go take over the lizardmen's territory. Let's wait until we're done with our business. If you're hungry, you can have some dry food."

Missy swallowed.

"No, it's alright, Demon Lord! I can wait for you to finish your business!"

Luo Yan glanced at the guy.

Is that big plate of chicken really that delicious? He was already a little greedy after hearing that.

"Youyou, find a professional gamer who can cook and test the cooking system of "Disaster Online"... Remember, find someone who looks reliable and won't do unnecessary things, and keep an eye on him."

Youyou, who was following beside him, swayed up and down considerately.

"receive!"

Just as the group was returning to the cemetery, the forum of the official website of "Disaster Online" was bustling with noise.

For the third batch of closed beta players who entered the game, this battle with thousands of people on the same screen really made many of them feel great.

Even though many newbies’ team battle output is limited to mixing in the sea of ​​skeletons and giving the lizardmen a scrape and a bath, at least the atmosphere is created!

In addition to the newbies, many players who joined the group for the second or third time have also made obvious progress compared to before.

For example, late.

A musket took a lot of heads.

There are also Yi Ye Zhi Qiu, Minotaur Warrior, etc. Although they are melee units and don't get many kills, they have much more experience than the brothers who mix in the crowd and shoot.

After a battle, Yiye Zhiqiu found that those lizardmen were not as powerful as he had imagined.

Their strength advantage is only relative to those newbies who have just entered the game. It is obviously not that strong compared to themselves who are at the Iron level.

He originally thought that those guys were at least level 20 or 30 monsters, but now it seems that he overestimated them. In fact, they are only level 5 or 6.

As for why it looks strong, it's mainly because the growth curve of this game is not completely linear.

Yiyezhiqiu: "After several versions of updates, I feel that the main storyline of "Cataclysm Online" is already very clear. Before the third expansion pack, it should be mainly about recovering the maze."

An old man at the entrance of the village: "The first layer is spiders and lizards, the second layer is bats, I really want to know what the third layer is."

Can't afford to play: "I beg the dog planner to update a creature that looks more like a human! Preferably a bit more astringent, I just can't bear spiders, lizards and bats. TT"

Gou Shi: "Is this your attitude of asking for help? (funny)"

Pig-Headed Knight: "Wait, the little devil is really not okay?"

Hu Wan: “?”

The old man at the entrance of the village: "Fuck, you can even play this game?!"

Hu Wan: "Never underestimate the XP of netizens. I heard that Minecraft has harmony mods. (squinting)"

Dragon Slayer: "I'm shocked, bro."

The crowd eating onlookers: "Are there any normal people here?!"

Knowledge Explosion: "How many times have I told you, no! No! Go look after your baby bus, dear."

He drank the chemical pool in one gulp: "Wait, what main plot are you discussing? You play the game for the main plot? No one blows up my explosives? I really made nitroglycerin in the sandbox game!!!"

Gaishi Yingxiong: "What's there to brag about? I feel like my magic is not as awesome as the Demon King's. (rolling eyes)"

The past is like smoke: "That's right! And it cost me my life!"

Playing two games at once: "The most important thing is to die before the other party, and you won't get any experience... It's okay to play in a group, at least you can make contributions and earn money, but playing alone is a big loss, and the experience goes directly to the Martians."

He swallowed the chemical pool in one gulp: "You are so stupid! Can't you just tie the explosives to a long pole? As long as the opponent dies first, won't the experience count as yours?!"

Minotaur Warrior: "What the hell, this is possible?!"

Hu Wan: "Is it difficult to throw away the explosives..."

Yi Ye Zhi Qiu: "Speaking of which, the physics engine of this game is really amazing. At present, magic and skills are still the best solutions, but not the only ones. I wonder if we can combine the two and give full play to the advantages of both."

Long Xing·I’m good at eating: “I don’t think it’s possible. It’s hard for this guy to make stable explosives. I don’t believe he doesn’t know the formula of TNT. It’s a pity that the industrial base of the cemetery is not good, otherwise he could make a repeater and an automatic rifle to play with.”

The Demon Emperor: "It's not impossible to make a few models by hand. My brother has done it before, and it doesn't seem difficult to me."

Long Xing·I’m a foodie: “Then go ahead and do it. Without reliable tools, it will kill you to make a rifling. (grin)”

Knowledge Explosion: "Fuck, you guys are too cruel... (sweating)"
