Chapter 115: The soul-sucking ghost must be a rare and powerful being, right?
The strategy for the Senn dungeon is still in full swing.
Many adventurers from other places rushed over after receiving the news. This was a good opportunity for those who wanted to carve their names in history. After the dungeon mutated, the number of first passers-by could be recalculated.
Of course, Leon and his colleagues’ contributions will not be erased, and a new first-pass stone tablet will be erected next to them.
The caravans also moved upon hearing the news. All the inns in Bed City were full, and latecomers had no choice but to set up temporary camps outside the city.
This time, the current Count Charon of Bed did not take any action. Apart from simply sending some guards to help maintain law and order, he did nothing else.
This is strange, foreign caravans should be wealth to him, why is he so negative?
Without going into all the twists and turns, in short, it is.
The relevant interests were divided by him to the city of Val.
Count Philip left behind a lot of mess. In order to calm things down, Charon has been bleeding heavily during this period, cutting flesh from the Bed family to feed the wild dogs who are eyeing him covetously.
The closest city, Val, had the most intense hatred. For safety reasons, Charon had to transfer a wave of assets to the other side, cutting a little here and a little there. In the end, the only things that were still firmly in the hands of the Bed family were the blood-blood mining and blood healing potions.
On the surface, Charon kept apologizing to the city of Val, but in his heart he wanted to kill the other party's entire family.
I've gone off topic, but the point is that Bed City is very lively right now.
After three or four days, the adventurers' strategy activities gradually became differentiated.
Everyone has a general understanding of the changes that have occurred in the Senn dungeon, and also has some information about the situation in each area.
At this time, adventurers begin to think about what they are good at and which area is suitable for exploring, and spontaneously go to explore areas with high compatibility.
In the Adventurer's Guild, you can often see people recruiting teammates, and clearly state the area to be explored, what skills the teammates are required to have, etc.
Everyone's professional quality is gradually improving, rookies become veterans, veterans become elites, and as for those who were already elites -
For example, Dal comes to challenge the Sen dungeon every day.
He has no fixed teammates, so he will just look for passers-by to explore with him on the way to the dungeon. He will not refuse if someone invites him to join a team, and he doesn't mind being a lone wolf if he can't find teammates.
Faced with a diverse map, he only ever went to one area, which was undoubtedly the Fran Fortress.
But he had clearly escaped from the old wolf Fran, so why did he have to go back to this place that would remind him of bad memories?
You can't be a masochist.
"Gah!"
The Gollums let out ferocious cries and rushed towards Dal with weapons in hand.
But he was already familiar with the Gollums' attack methods, and while dodging left and right he actually managed to cross the monsters' defense line and directly reached the top of the hill.
"Bang!"
Dal parkoured to the first beacon tower with ease and put out the fire in front of Gwyn's statue with a clapp of his hands.
The familiar image of a loose door appeared before my eyes. I couldn't even skip over this thing. I was really tired of seeing it.
While waiting for the cutscene, Dahl thought about the recent strategy situation.
With all the adventurers coming out, even though the difficulty of the Fran Fortress was one level higher than the swamp area, the progress of the strategy still increased slightly every day.
Correspondingly, Fran's story gradually became known to the public. People inferred the general plot from the fragmentary descriptions of green flowers and plants, black insect pills, and even weapons and equipment dropped by monsters, and the hunting manual played an indispensable role in this.
There are a thousand Hammers in a thousand people. Although there are many versions of the story, and the story of the Fran Fortress in everyone's mind is different, there is one plot that everyone agrees on -
Extinguishing three beacon towers is a test for joining the Undead Corps. After successfully accepting the wolf blood, you can be considered a member of the Undead Corps.
Adventurers believe that the final BOSS of Fran Fortress must be all members of the Undead Corps, which will be a huge army!
An army in an unknown era, how exciting it sounds, and some people are already studying how to efficiently fight against an entire legion.
However, even if it is researched, it will probably be useless because.
To this day, no one has been able to actually enter the fortress's gates.
In the Faran Fortress in the Sen Dungeon version, extinguish the three beacons to go deep into the fortress and meet the Faran Wolf. Explore all the way to the deepest part to engage in a decisive battle with the final BOSS.
Dahl is probably the only adventurer who has seen the old wolf of Fran now. At least there is no news of a second person who has seen the old wolf of Fran.
People discovered a hidden rule: every time a beacon was extinguished, the difficulty of the Fran Fortress would increase.
Specifically, monsters become stronger, new traps appear on the road, and even some terrain undergoes slight but deadly changes.
For example, a certain section of road would collapse if you walked on it again after the fire was extinguished, with more than a dozen wild dogs lying in ambush underneath.
Basically no one can survive the siege of the Dog Fire King, no one!
The best result Dal had achieved so far was reaching the edge of the third beacon tower, but he was killed by the monsters that caught up with him before he could extinguish it.
It is said that the strategy team once managed to extinguish three beacons by chance, but they fell to the enhanced monsters before they could enter the door.
Malu was furious and kept saying that when Leon came back, she would make the monsters here pay the price.
Even the strategy group is like this, so one can imagine the progress of others. Some people have been tortured to the point of giving up and go to the food area every day to enjoy life.
Dahl is very strict with himself. He does not allow himself to accept an overly comfortable life. Even when choosing commissions, he will deliberately choose the more difficult ones.
"Gah!"
The moment the video ended, he quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the attack of Gollum who was chasing him. Gollum's head hit the wall and made a strange cry.
Dahl ran without stopping.
After careful calculations, as long as he burst out at a certain speed, he would be able to create a safe enough distance between himself and the Gollums before leaving the hill and entering the swamp that would cause deceleration. He would be able to reach the next piece of land almost unharmed and fight with the Gollums there.
Since he was familiar with the road, he was thinking about the commission he had to complete today while running.
Basically, they are collecting certain props or monster materials in the Fran Fortress, and you can collect some of them while running away.
“Puff, puff, puff—”
Suddenly, a large amount of mud-like things hit Dal from behind. He just showed a disgusted expression but did not dodge because those things were just mud.
When Gollum was at a distance from him, these disgusting creatures would dig up lumps of mud from the swamp and throw them at him. The damage was not enough but it was extremely insulting.
Wait, it seems there is a commission asking me to collect swamp materials from the Fran Fortress.
Dahl immediately took out a can and filled a bottle in the swamp. He stuffed it into his waist bag without caring about the dirt, thinking to himself:
"This will give the wolves another treat."
The wolves in the farmhouse were the same ones that had raised him, just a subset of them.
As a silver-level adventurer, his life should have been affluent enough, but he always used his money to buy good food for the wolf pack. Even though the wolf pack could hunt in the forest by themselves, he still felt that what he bought was better.
In addition to food, if a wolf is injured or sick, he also has to pay for the medical expenses.
Perhaps this is his way of repaying the wolves for raising him.
The wolf pack is his spiritual sustenance and also his motivation to be an adventurer.
To protect them, Dar can do anything!
"The second one is just around the corner,"
After a hard fight to defeat the monster, Dal hesitated in front of the beacon fire for a while, but finally extinguished the flame.
This time the hunter did not invade. His setting was not to invade people who already had a hunting manual.
Naturally, Patch's summoning symbol did not appear, so those who wanted to beat him up would be disappointed.
If the hunters didn't show up, there wouldn't be a wave of monsters attracted by the sound of gunfire.
So why is Dahl's expression so tense?
"call"
He took a deep breath, and at this moment, footsteps were heard at the foot of the hill.
Unlike the hunter's voice, the footsteps this time were thicker, as if pus was flowing down from its owner, and every step was sticky and stringy.
Dahl's hand holding the sword was shaking slightly.
When the newcomer finally reaches the top of the mountain, we will be able to know his identity.
Soul-sucking ghost!
When the second beacon goes out, these monsters from the abyss will appear!
Dahl has died at the hands of the soul-sucking ghost several times.
Every time he was defeated, after being resurrected at the Firelink Shrine, he would travel 365 miles non-stop to continue fighting the Soulsuckers, but he ended up in failure every time.
Today is his last time entering Sen this week. His mental strength has reached its limit. He will die again at most and then leave and have a good rest at home for a few days.
No, why should I fight on the premise that I will die?
He assumed a swordsmanship stance, preparing for the impending attack, cold sweat already appearing on his forehead.
Although he had never defeated the Soul-sucking Ghost, and there was no additional information about him in the hunting manual except his name, one could guess that this guy must be from the Abyss.
Dahl had personally seen the Soul-sucking Ghosts fighting with the Gollums. Since Gollum was introduced as an ally of the Undead Squad, the Soul-sucking Ghosts must be their enemies.
"bring it on!"
He took the lead in attacking, but a bright red spell effect lit up in the Soul Sucker's hands.
"It's this trick again!"
Once caught by this hand, Dahl will feel that something in his body is being sucked away by the continuous output, his physical condition will decline drastically, and his spirit will become exhausted.
Must get out of the way!
A few seconds later, Dahl was pinned to the ground by the soul-sucking ghost, and the bright red spell continued to suck his spirit.
"hateful."
After being resurrected at the Firelink Shrine, Dal's face showed a hint of sadness.
"I clearly dodged, why did he still catch me? This shouldn't be possible."
He sat in front of the campfire, talking to himself dejectedly, really like a discouraged figure.
"The Undead Squad has been fighting against this kind of enemy. I admire them more and more."
"The Soul-sucking Ghost is so powerful. I think it must be a unique existence like the leader of the Abyss. It is inevitable that I will lose."
It was simply because he died too quickly every time and never encountered a second soul-sucking ghost.
Dahl sighed and thought:
It's really time to find a teammate.
