Chapter 302: The Mad Dog at the Cold Valley Bridge
"What's wrong with this guy? He's just like a mad dog!"
"Captain, doesn't this thing look like a dog?"
There was a lot of lively fighting sounds coming from the bridge leading to the Lengling Valley, crackling like the New Year's Day.
The "crackling" sound mainly comes from the lightning spewed by monsters.
As soon as everyone started fighting with this monster that looked like both a dog and a crocodile, they were caught off guard by its exaggerated desire to attack. Its nerve grabs and long combos were countless. For this kind of enemy with ADHD, adventurers generally call it a "mad dog."
However, it still feels a bit strange to call a monster that looks like a dog a mad dog.
“Ouch!”
The monster pushed Tammy away with its head, then kicked Ai Si away with a beautiful back kick, and raised its claws to target Luluwo.
Luluwo is rolling! She was inspired by Ashes' fighting style and plans to incorporate rolling into her own fighting style!
After rolling once, twice, and three times, she looked up and found that the monster was still holding up its claws.
When she couldn't roll anymore and wanted to get up, the monster finally slapped her in the face!
Your fast and slow knife is so obvious that it's shameless! Which bastard designed it like this!
After taking a solid hit, Luluwo let out a scream. But it was just a scream. The sharp claws were blocked by her chains, and the only thing that was reflected back to her body was the pure impact force.
Her current campfire level has exceeded 70, and she has focused on physical fitness and speed. She has become thick-skinned and tough, so she has no problem taking a head-on hit.
To be fair, this strange-looking monster is just a normal elite monster with a high desire to attack. It is not as elite as the Furnace Knight. Even a strategy team that enters the Sen dungeon for the first time can deal with it.
But it happened that everyone in the Skyrim Strategy Group was now in a state of blood, essence, blue, and emptiness. Even though they had figured out how to deal with it in their minds, their bodies were unable to do so.
To make matters worse, everyone was concentrating on fighting against the threat of monsters. By the time they realized that the cold had already climbed up most of their bodies, neither Ai Si nor Em had any extra magic power to release heat for everyone, and they were about to fall into a state of freezing.
Seeing the people's miserable state, the giant sword in Elsa's hand lit up with fine lines again and shouted, "Everyone come here!"
She thrust the greatsword into the ground, and anyone who came near it felt their strength recovering rapidly. A warm heat came from the sword, dispelling the cold.
It can enhance strength, restore physical strength and release heat. What is the true ability of this giant sword that is suspected to be a divine weapon?
Without the greatsword, Elsa made a surprising decision.
"Gus, come back!" Tammy's eyes widened because she saw the other party rushing up with bare hands and engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the monster!
This, this is so powerful that it can even suppress the monsters.
It's so scary, she is simply a humanoid monster.
The Crocodile King is worthy of being an animal-type monster in the Souls series. It has perfectly inherited the formulaic thick skin and strong attack desire of the beast enemies in the Souls series. Even after being pinned down and beaten by Elsa, he still had the strength to struggle and resist. Elsa was not in good condition either, and she could not completely suppress the opponent.
"call!"
After a few blows, Elsa became a little anxious. She grabbed the monster's mouth and was about to tear it apart with her bare hands, but the monster had already prepared its sharp teeth and claws to fight back. It was a lose-lose situation no matter how you looked at it.
"Alright, alright, time to run!"
Suddenly, the back of her collar was lifted up by Luluwo, and Luluwo and Tammy held the red-hot Elsa in front and behind, and ran back to the cave they came from. They ran so fast that it was obvious that they had recovered their strength.
Then, the two slender magicians, Ai Si and Em, looked at the giant sword stuck in the ground and fell into chaos.
Do you want us to run with this?
In the end, Mira returned and took away the giant sword, which is really cause for celebration.
The adventurer's first encounter with the Crocodile King ended with the adventurer running away.
Once you leave the range of the bridge, the monsters will no longer chase you.
Everyone chose to sit down and rest in front of the campfire, and finally after a vote, they were collectively teleported back to the Firelink Shrine.
After all, I am really tired today, and staying any longer will only reduce the efficiency of exploration.
"Ah, blue sky and white clouds are still the best."
Back to the familiar Firelink Shrine, the environment changed from bitter cold to warm spring with blooming flowers. Anyone who saw it would feel their mood gradually brighten. Even the "clicking" sounds of the skeleton monsters in the cemetery next to the shrine became friendly.
People lay on the ground gasping for breath without caring about their image, feeling as if they had survived a disaster.
Luluwo was lying on the ground in the shape of a "big" character, staring at the blue sky created by the dungeon with her bright eyes, and suddenly she thought of a question.
Passing through the Fortress of Faran will lead you to the Catacombs of Kassus. After defeating Overlord Wolnir, you can pass through his boss room to reach Irithyll in the Frigid Valley.
Is this map design really reasonable?
What if the Irithyllians want to travel? Should they go through the underground cemetery and the Faran Fortress in reverse order?
Her brain sent out an overload warning, and in the end she could only attribute this strange design to a special way of expressing the dungeon.
In short, it is correct to explain it using the dungeon.
“Boom boom!”
She saw Elsa still kicking the ground angrily because of what happened with the monster, and suddenly she laughed.
It was a hearty smile, and very contagious, which made the people around laugh as well. For a moment, everyone in the sacrificial field was laughing except for Elsa who had a confused look on her face.
"Haha, Captain, why are we laughing?" Tammy asked puzzledly.
Luluwo raised her hand and knocked on the boy's head, saying:
"Nonsense, we defeated Overlord Warnir. It's enough to just laugh for a while. I'm so happy that I want to dance!"
Although the attempt to explore Irithyll failed, the fact that we defeated Volnir alone meant that every second of today was worth it.
This day, or rather, the efforts during this period, came to a successful conclusion.
"Let's go to the royal city for a big meal tonight. It's my treat!" Luluwo raised her arms high, with such a powerful aura that it didn't seem like she was treating someone to a meal, but rather like she was starting a war.
"Then I have to make up for all the energy I've used up today." Mira clenched her fists with full energy, and Esem released a firework into the sky with 100% synchronization rate.
"Although the recent inflow of funds is considerable, Captain, don't let the extravagance of the royal city drain your wallet." Berto shook his head helplessly, but the corners of his mouth were also raised.
"Oh, long live the captain!" Tammy cheered happily, turned to look at Elsa, and said, "Girl, come too."
Elsa showed an excited look. Looking at the group of happy people in front of her, the scene of fighting side by side with them emerged in her mind.
Fighting monsters in a dungeon and fighting humans with mercenaries on the battlefield are two completely different experiences. In the former, defeating powerful monsters can make people laugh out loud, but in the latter, it is still difficult for her to have positive emotions about making her own people bleed.
If she had to choose, she would prefer the life of an adventurer, but unfortunately...
"I won't go," Elsa shook her head, bowed to the people, and said gratefully, "Thank you all for your care during this time. I have to go back."
Luluwo showed an expression of "as expected", smiled and waved her hand, saying: "Go ahead, if you want to experience dungeon adventures again in the future, please feel free to come find us anytime."
"Um!"
Elsa nodded heavily and teleported to the Catacombs of Casas through the bonfire. She wanted to quickly tell Eliphis the news about the capture of Overlord Wolnir.
During this time, she heard rumors that Eliphis failed in his challenge to the Overlord and his confidence was hit, so she was really worried about him.
“He left.”
Berto watched the other party leave, then suddenly looked at Luluwo and said, "Captain, don't you want to consider that?"
As he spoke, he made the motion of waving a hoe, which simply meant poaching.
Elsa's fighting ability has surpassed everyone in the team, and everyone can see her great value.
"Haha, do you think I haven't thought about it?" Luluwo smiled slyly, "I've already started swinging the hoe."
Mira thought for a moment and said, "But can the conditions we can offer really match those of the Light Eagle Group?"
If you want to poach people, the easiest way is to offer better conditions, but it is obvious that the material conditions of the Sky Raiders Group are not as good as those of the Light Eagle Group.
"Don't worry, I can see that she is the type who values emotions more than material things, and..." She paused, and what she didn't say was: I know more about her than you do.
"To be honest, I was surprised to see her again after such a long time. I didn't expect that she would run to the Light Eagle Group."
"Captain, did you know Gus before?" Tammy asked.
"It's not that I know him, I just know him."
Luluwo blinked and whispered, "After all, I was in Bed City before Earl Philip died."
"Captain, what did you just say?"
"It's okay. I say let's go quickly and choose a big restaurant to hold the banquet!"
The Sky Raiders were happy as they headed to the Royal City, and on the way back to the Light Eagles, Elsa was also in a good mood.
"Captain Gus? Where have you been these days? I haven't seen you for a long time." A mercenary greeted her.
"Where is the captain?" Elsa asked.
"It's still the same old place. It seems he is discussing the conquest of the dungeon with the captains."
Elsa nodded, said "Thank you, you've been patrolling for a long time," and ran away.
The mercenary who was talking to her was stunned for a moment, replaying Elsa's words in his mind, and said blankly:
"Why does it feel like Captain Gus has become more lively? Am I seeing things right?"
After a while, Elsa pushed open the door of the operations room and saw Eliphis discussing something with a group of captains.
"Gus? You're finally back!" Sally, who was temporarily taking Elsa's place in the meeting because Elsa was away, showed a surprised expression.
Eliphis sat at the end of the long table, his flowing silver hair falling on his shoulders. When he saw Elsa, a smile appeared on his delicate face. He pointed to the empty seat next to him, motioning Elsa to come and sit down.
He regained his previous calm and confident appearance, as if the blow he had suffered in the underground cemetery had completely disappeared.
Elsa noticed that there were documents about the intelligence of the underground cemetery in front of the captains, and the name of Overlord Wolnir was mentioned most frequently in the intelligence. It seemed that everyone was actively discussing countermeasures.
Great, I came at the right time this time.
She couldn't wait to tell everyone about what she and the Skyrim Raiders had seen and heard, including the contract she had made with Luluwo and the correct way to fight Overlord Wolnir.
"Oh, you did a great job, Gus." Aston on the side smiled after hearing this, and the other captains were also talking about it.
"I didn't expect that we actually needed to attack the bracelet. Our previous thinking was completely wrong."
"Sure enough, we lacked important information. If we had obtained the bracelet information in advance, we would have won as well."
"Captain Gus has made a great contribution this time. Thank you for your hard work."
The many discussions finally turned into praise for Elsa, and she looked at Eliphis proudly.
The latter's expression remained the same as always. He looked at Elsa gently without saying anything, but his lips moved slightly.
Elsa was suddenly stunned, because Eliphis seemed to be saying.
"Are you giving me charity?"
