Chapter 109: Fire Extinguishment, Fire Extinguishment

[Extinguish the three flames, and the door to the wolf's blood will open]

As the advice emerged, a white illusory spirit appeared in front of Malu and others.

He was a man wearing strange armor, with a triangular pointed hat and a crow-shaped mask that covered his face tightly. The cloak fluttered casually behind him, and a sense of mystery arose.

He held the greatsword horizontally in his hand, placed his other hand holding the dagger on it, slowly lowered his head and made a gesture to the visitor that was unclear but solemn.

Maybe this is some kind of etiquette?

No matter what the meaning is, this opening really scared Malu and the others.

"Isn't this a real person?" The adventurer circled around the spirits of the Undead Squad. Although he wanted to observe them more carefully, he didn't dare to move forward.

Even though it was just a spirit, it possessed an aura that made people restrain themselves from being presumptuous and even awe-inspiring.

It has a power that is no less than that of the dragon hunting armor.

"He must be a powerful swordsman," Dahl stared at the greatswords in the hands of the Undead Squad with burning eyes, the word "want" flashing in his eyes.

"I feel like he's more than just powerful," someone said.

There is a canyon between the Firelink Shrine and the Fran Fortress. You can feel the change in the sky while crossing the canyon. It was sunny with blue sky and white clouds at the shrine, but it became dark at the Fran Fortress.

There is a feeling of time and space distortion, as if we have suddenly jumped from the heyday to the end of the world.

The scene at the Fran Fortress did not disappoint the adventurers.

“Such a familiar scene.”

Malu looked at the brown swamp, the withered trees, and the smoke rising into the sky, and couldn't help but complain:

"Isn't this the same thing that hasn't changed at all?"

"Strictly speaking, it has changed," Roger said, pointing to the fireworks that stood out in the sky. "It has changed from lighting a fire to extinguishing it."

“.”

"I don't want to step on the mud anymore. Where's the dragon you caught? Let it out and ride it."

Roger glanced at her and said, "Hathaway is sleeping at home."

"Sleeping? You leave such a powerful fighting force at home to sleep?"

"Hathaway is my partner, not a tool for fighting," Roger rolled his eyes at Malu, "Do you think I'm a battle maniac who would throw even my partner into the battlefield?"

Malu was speechless for a moment. She felt that the guy in front of her thought differently from the average person.

As a last resort, everyone had to step into the swamp again. Since the goal was to extinguish the beacon fire, there was no problem in heading towards the place where the smoke was coming out.

However, after just a few steps in the swamp, everyone realized that something was wrong.

The swamp became deeper, the deepest part was even above the knees, and it became more sticky. Every step felt like stepping into a deep pit with countless tentacle monsters, difficult to pull out.

In this situation, encountering any enemy would be a big trouble!

Besides

What if you want to dodge?

It must be very exciting to roll in this kind of terrain.

When thinking about this question, the mental power emitted by everyone present increased by one level.

"Drew, old man," Malu said in an almost pleading tone, "Can you give me a levitation spell, or is there any magic that can freeze the swamp? You see, it's not convenient for us to move around here."

"Tolerate,"

Drew said expressionlessly.

Levitation works by causing the caster to suspend approximately ten centimeters above the ground, and can be used to mitigate fall damage in some situations.

However, when this spell takes effect, it determines the "ground" instead of the "swamp". If you use levitation here, it is estimated that there will be a weird scene of everyone moving horizontally in the swamp.

As for the frozen swamp

Drew's facial muscles twitched. If he could freeze such a large area, why didn't he apply to be the royal wizard?

"puff--"

At this moment, an adventurer suddenly vomited blood and his face turned purple.

"He's been poisoned, antidote!"

After seeing this man's miserable condition, everyone realized that the toxicity of the swamp had increased again, and it had become a way to poison people silently and unintentionally!

"It's so vicious," Malu took out a bottle of purple antidote and drank half of it. She immediately felt refreshed.

These potions were developed by the pharmacists of the Bed family based on the purple moss balls produced in the Sen Dungeon. They have extremely powerful detoxification effects, and it is said that the concentrated version can remove all toxicity.

Unfortunately, the concentrated version is still under experimentation, and the ones on the market are diluted versions.

Everyone is now trudging along while risking poisoning, which is a double torture both mentally and physically.

"There are a lot of strangely shaped wooden racks here," someone noticed that there were often some crooked wooden racks standing on the roadside, and some of them had corpses tied to them.

The corpses were highly decomposed, but judging from their bones, they were probably not human.

Because those corpses were more like wild beasts, or more like wolves.

Perhaps it has something to do with the "wolf blood" mentioned at the entrance?

"There's a light over there," an adventurer spotted the white light under the tree and was about to go over to pick it up when he suddenly paused.

"The Thane dungeon is full of dangers. Someone once told me that there are monsters lurking under the light spots."

He muttered to himself, took out his spear and poked it hard into the swamp below the light spot a few times. Sure enough, a large amount of blood of an unknown monster floated up.

"Fortunately, I was cautious enough,"

He walked over triumphantly and picked up the light spot, but before he could check what it was, heavy pressure from the sky pressed him into the swamp!

“Puff, puff, puff—”

In the blink of an eye, several slugs that were larger than humans fell from the tree. The poor adventurer was crushed to the point of suffocation. When he opened his mouth, bubbles gurgled up!

Just as everyone was about to rush over to rescue people, they saw the slug suddenly spit out a large ball of sticky venom, accompanied by a disgusting stench.

"Wow, that's disgusting,"

Malu threw her weapon from a distance and killed one, and the rest were eliminated by everyone working together.

The adventurer who was attacked was still alive, but his whole body was stained and he looked as if he would rather die than live.

"I always feel like these monsters are here specifically to disgust us."

Drew used the cleansing technique to soothe the adventurers' wounded hearts, and after this ordeal, they finally found land!

It was a hill that emerged from the swamp, and people were almost moved to tears when they stepped on solid ground again.

Billowing smoke rose from the top of the hill, which was also the location of the first beacon tower.

“Ahh!”

A strange cry attracted the adventurers' attention, and several skinny humanoid monsters with deformed heads and tumor-like hard horns rushed out.

【Gulu】

[Comprehensive combat effectiveness: E+~E++]

They attacked the adventurers with tattered shields that looked like wooden boards and equally crude spears.

The battle was about to break out. Although the Gollums had mastered some of the mysteries of shield stabbing, it was nothing compared to the strategy group that had been baptized by the Crucible Knight.

What's more, the adventurers who teamed up with the strategy team were not bad in strength, they were just a little inferior in comparison.

The battle soon came to an end, and an adventurer slowly retreated to the edge, apparently wanting to take a break.

"With the help of the strategy team, I can rest assured on this trip."

He breathed a sigh of relief, but at that moment he noticed that there was a crouching monster beside him approaching him rapidly.

It was a weaponless Gulu, on all fours, looking very wild!

"Tsk, we still have to fight in the end," he raised his shield and readied his rapier.

To deal with this kind of irrational monster, just wait until it hits the shield and then take action. This is what he learned from experience.

This trick does make sense and is indeed useful when facing most monsters.

But the monsters in the Sean dungeon have a trick called - throwing!

“Ahhhhhh!”

When everyone had finally dealt with all the Gollums, they suddenly heard a heart-wrenching scream not far away and turned around to look.

Gollum was seen riding on the adventurer's shoulders, scratching his head wildly.

This shampoo is extremely pure!

This time the adventurer was not so lucky. When he was rescued, he was already dead and his face was scratched.

His body gradually turned into ashes and disappeared, a sign that he would be resurrected at the bonfire.

"Uh, are we going to wait for him here?" someone asked.

"No need, I know him," Dahl said expressionlessly, "He is not strong enough to cross the swamp and get here alone. Unless we go to pick him up, it would be a waste of time."

He turned and walked towards the top of the mountain. "Let's go. I don't think he will blame us."

On the top of the mountain, people found a burning beacon tower.

Just as Dahl was about to put out the flame, Roger suddenly said, "Wait a minute, there are sculptures on the beacon tower."

There was indeed a sculpture, and they were very familiar with the person in the sculpture - an old man with a crown and a white beard.

Gwyn, Lord of Sunshine.

The sculpture features an abstract depiction of Gwyn on top and a blazing flame underneath, making it look like it is imitating the scene of Gwyn passing on the fire.

Drew memorized the sculpture carefully, intending to paint it when he returned.

"This doesn't seem to have any deep meaning. I need to put out the fire."

Dahl ignored the temperature of the flame and extinguished it with his palm.

It's just an ordinary action, but it always feels weird to mention the word "fire extinguishing" in the Sen Dungeon.

Everyone in the strategy group looked at the statue of Gwyn with some guilt; they didn't know why they felt guilty.

I always feel like the old man up there will jump out and slap them in the face

Just as everyone was preparing to follow the smoke to find the next beacon fire, the scene before them suddenly changed.

"Ah, that's just right,"

In the video, a tightly closed fortress gate was slightly loosened, and one of the three braziers in front of the gate changed.

I updated 10,000 pages today. I'm so tired.
