Chapter 119: Go deep into the fortress and then meet the emperor

Chapter 119: Go deep into the fortress and then meet the emperor.

Sometimes, people's cognition can be reversed many times in a short period of time.

Before defeating the Soul-sucking Ghost, Dahl believed that the other party must be a rare and powerful figure among the forces of the Abyss.

But after defeating the Soul-sucking Ghost and unlocking his hunting manual introduction, Dahl's impression of the Soul-sucking Ghost suddenly changed. It turned out that it was just a mass-produced soldier.

Although I still think the Soul-sucking Ghost is very powerful, its quality has declined a lot.

However, when he encountered a whole team of soul suckers, he saw them slaughtering Gollum and Elder Gollum cleanly and rushing towards him with red eyes.

Dahl thinks the soul-sucking ghosts are so awesome!

It feels like the final boss of the previous level suddenly appears in groups of monsters in the next level. The feeling of oppression is too strong.

When they came to their senses, everyone was running along the road. The third beacon had been extinguished, and the gate of the Fran Fortress was completely open. There was no need for them to fight an enemy they could not defeat.

Presumably, the attacking team led by Malu chose to confront the Soul-sucking Ghost Team head-on, which led to their miserable defeat. While fleeing in a hurry, Dal looked back.

Soul suckers do not pursue adventurers relentlessly like forging golems do.

They maintained a swift and leisurely pace, and seemed surprisingly elegant in a different way. Was this the calmness of the strong?

The direction they were heading was the same as that of the adventurers, and it was obviously the gate of the Fran Fortress.

The Soul-sucking Ghosts are going after the Farran Undead Squad! Dahl realized in shock.

He suddenly had the urge to tip off the Undead Squad, but the next second he realized how ridiculous this idea was.

Putting aside whether the legendary Undead Corps would be afraid of an opponent as powerful as the Soul Sucker, even he, Dal, might not be able to survive after passing through the gate, after all, there was an unknown area behind it.

Just take care of yourself first!

After passing through the gate, the scenery behind the gate seemed to be no different.

No, something good has changed—the swamp has finally disappeared.

The terrain behind the gate had obviously turned into a mountainous area. Once the terrain became higher, it was free from the troubles of the swamp, and an uphill mountain road appeared in front of everyone.

Roger looked back and saw that the soul-sucking ghosts had not caught up with him. He breathed a sigh of relief and joked, "Fortunately, they didn't catch up with me, otherwise I would have planned to practice the joke I heard while drinking yesterday."

Dar was concentrating on thinking, and only the considerate Antili chose to ask in order to avoid a dull moment: "What's the joke?"

"If you and your companions go up the mountain to hunt and encounter a monster, and at this moment you only have an arrow in your hand, how are you going to escape?" Roger said with a smile.

Antili rolled her eyes at him and said, "It depends on whether the monster is male or female. If it's a male, I'll shoot the balls, and if it's a female, I'll shoot the butt."

Roger's hips twisted unconsciously, and he said with a look of pain on his face, "No, no, the correct answer is to shoot an arrow at your companion. You just need to run faster than your companion."

"So, if you couldn't get away just now, you were going to betray us, old man?" Antili raised her eyebrows. Besides being angry, she was also surprised that someone would dare to reveal his dark thoughts.

Even Dal was surprised.

"Bullshit, I mean I'll be the last one to leave and you guys go first!"

Roger felt insulted and said while shaking his fist.

"It's all because the jokes you told were not suitable for this kind of occasion." Antili labeled Roger as "not good at telling jokes" in her mind.

The joke may not have been quite right, but at least the tension did ease a bit.

As they walked up the mountain road, they suddenly spotted a group of dark figures lying in front of them.

"It's a monster," Antili glanced up at the sky. The bird war pet she had released earlier for reconnaissance was warning her.

Roger winked at Dahl, and the two of them quietly moved behind the monster and slashed with their swords.

Blood splattered as the monster died cleanly on the side of the road. However, they found that there was a monster not far away who witnessed the whole process. The guy was hiding under a tree, and his body color almost blended in with the environment, so he was not discovered.

Oh no! Once that monster screams, it might attract more enemies.

Roger was just about to throw a Night Demon Gravel over, but a surprising scene appeared.

The monster simply glanced at them and lowered its head without any interest, as if the adventurers in front of it were not as interesting as sleeping.

"What's going on?" Roger looked at Antili and asked, "Is it the same variety as in Food Paradise?"

He was referring to Pokémon that also wouldn't actively attack people.

"There are too many bad styles." Antili was a little disgusted with the monster in front of her.

These monsters are covered in sparse black feathers, with thin and twisted limbs, reminiscent of a hybrid of a crow and a human.

[Hunting Manual: Monsters]

[Name: Crowman]

[They originally lived in the painting world, but left their hometown because of the decay of the painting world and came to the Fran Fortress. Perhaps it was because they left their hometown that they became weak because of homesickness.]

By the way, the introductions in the hunting manual were all written word by Gong Qiying himself. However, he could not remember the background stories of some monsters very clearly. The narrative of the Soul series was too fragmented. In his previous life, he was not a senior soul scientist and his own abilities were limited.

Therefore, he will make a certain degree of secondary creation of the monster's background story according to the needs of the Sen Dungeon, and he apologizes if there are any OOC parts.

For some reason, these crow people lay on the ground and would not attack Dal and his men.

"The world of painting. It's something I've never heard of. I'm almost used to it," Antili complained.

"Maybe these places will appear in Thane in the future," Roger said as he was picking up the corpse of the Crow Man, "I am very optimistic about this underground city."

Dahl nodded and said, "The monsters here are much stronger than those in other dungeons."

On the way forward, they could occasionally see Crowmen lying down. Since they discovered that these monsters would not attack people on their own initiative, Dal and his companions had learned to ignore these guys.

until--

"There are spots of light,"

Antili discovered a group of crow men surrounding a spot of light at a fork in the road, and immediately became eager to give it a try.

"Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute," Roger stopped the excited trainer, "What if there is a trick? This is Sean."

A spot of light surrounded by a group of crow men who can't fight, is there anything dangerous about this place?

Wait, it seems that there is indeed one Crow Man that is different from the others, because that one is leaning against the wall, not kneeling on the ground like the others.

But they both look weak, so there should be no problem, right?

Antili pondered for a moment, then snapped her fingers and said, "Xiaohong, you go."

The war pet flying in the sky immediately flapped its wings and flew towards the light spot surrounded by a flock of crows.

"It's really convenient to have a combat pet to help," Dahl said enviously.

"Your wolf pack can also help. Just a little training is enough. I can teach you how to train them," Antili said selflessly. "Your wolf pack has the blood of monsters. Although it is very thin, I can feel it. The thinness is just right. If it is thicker, it will not be able to suppress its ferocity. If it is thinner, its combat effectiveness will decrease. To be honest, they have great potential."

Dahl shook his head. He never thought of letting the wolves fight with him.

In combat, one will certainly get hurt, and subconsciously he doesn't want the wolf pack to suffer any harm.

"What a pity," Antili threw a small package at him and said, "This thing can improve the strength of the battle pet and has no side effects. You can give some to the wolves and try it. Consider my suggestion seriously."

"Alchemical product?" Dahl frowned.

"Those produced in the Thane dungeon are so rare that I only have a tiny bit," Antili said unhappily.

When he heard that it was a prop produced by Sean, Dal felt relieved. After he tried to refuse it from Antil, he was still forced to put it in his pocket by Antil.

Well, he won't let the wolves try it though.

The name of the package is:

【Experience Candy M】x2

[Energy-filled candy. If you give it to your pet, it can strengthen its strength to a certain extent. Trainers all say it’s good after using it.]

While everyone was chatting, the battle pet Xiaohong had already landed in the center of the group of Crow People and grabbed the light spot.

The light spot changed its appearance the moment it was touched, and it looked like a twisted stick, or maybe a magic wand?

It was a little difficult for Xiaohong to pick up the thing with her size, but she was able to carry it. But at this moment, the crow man leaning against the wall suddenly opened his eyes.

"ah!"

Its wings suddenly spread out and it let out a piercing scream.

Immediately, the crows lying on the ground also screamed!

"Oh no, come back quickly!" Antili's face changed suddenly.

Several Crowmen screamed together, the noise was so loud that one might have suspected they had arrived in Yharnam. Pair after pair of wings opened amid the Crowmen's cries of pain. They stood up, holding alien weapons tightly in their hands!

They rushed forward and beat Xiaohong to death with sticks before she could even scream.

Roger's mouth twitched. "Did you bring the teleportation crystal to your battle pet?"

"Of course I brought it, but Xiaohong will be in a daze for a long time after being resurrected," Antili said with an unpleasant look on her face, waving the whip and rushing over.

The fair-skinned girl kept whipping the dark crow man, a scene that seemed not right at all in Gong Qiying's previous world.

Roger sighed and said to Dahl, "Go ahead and help the Queen relieve her anger."

The awakened Crowmen fought violently, and the Crowmen mages could also use magic, so the battle was not easy at all, but the adventurers still won.

As they walked further forward, similar scenes occurred from time to time, and then everyone reacted.

It turned out that the Crowmen who would not attack people at the beginning were specifically used to make them let down their guard.

That's vicious Sean!

If there was a designer for the Senn Dungeon, that guy must have had a very unhappy childhood.

Later, adventurers learned to use magic to kill the Crow Man wizards remotely, and now no one could wake up the sleeping Crow Man.

As everyone was immersed in the exploration, they suddenly realized something - how come they were almost at the gate of the fortress?

Dal and the others looked at each other, wondering if it was an illusion. They felt that they had missed a lot of places to explore. Perhaps they were hidden roads or a fork in the road. In short, the exploration progress was too fast and it was abnormal!

Especially Dahl, he is the most confused among the group.

How come I'm such a big old wolf? How come I didn't see him along the way?

Fran Wolf, you are not in Fran Fortress at all, where have you been! ?

"Are we going to meet the Fran Undead Squad?" Roger swallowed, and even he became nervous.

The dragon hunting armor that Sean wore when he went berserk left a deep impression on him. He wondered how powerful the boss monster in Sean's dungeon would become after the next mutation?

Hiss, is it too blasphemous for me to call the Undead Squad monsters? Looking at the story they are introduced to, they undoubtedly deserve the title of "heroes".

God of Fire Gwyn, please forgive me, please don't burn me.

At this time, a loud commotion, or rather a deafening uproar, in front of the fortress gate attracted everyone's attention.

When everyone saw clearly what had happened, they were all stunned.

A small war was unfolding before them.

The first thing that caught their eyes was the Soul-sucking Ghosts. There were more than a dozen of them, and even if they were thrown into Bed City, they would cause great losses. What they were facing was an unbreakable defense line formed by hundreds of Gollums.

The sounds of fighting, screams, and the collision of iron intertwined like passionate vocal music.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Soul Sucker's target is the fortress where the Faran Undead Squad may be located, and Gollum wants to stop them.

Why didn't the Undead Squad come out to fight in person?

Looking at the fortress right before their eyes, the adventurers made a unanimous decision with their hearts surging.

They chose to bypass the melee in stealth and quietly arrived at the fortress gate.

This method is not glorious at all. If you want to pursue legend, you should join the battlefield and kill everyone, and knock on the door of the fortress with a bloody attitude.

But they were really too curious, too curious about what was inside the fortress. If there were gods watching here, please forgive their behavior.

"Three, two, one"

The three of them placed their palms on the door and exerted force at the same time.

The door slowly opened.

“Bang! Bang!”

The sound of steel colliding rang in everyone's ears.

I really want to end the chapter here, this is so appropriate!

But there will be another update in the evening. If I said 10,000 pages a day, it must be 10,000 pages a day!
