Chapter 307: Falling to death is the standard ending for every exile
The Cleric Exile could run, but he couldn't roll or dodge. He couldn't even bend over easily.
Gong Qiying was merciful on this point and did not give the Havel Ring and the Great Pot of Weapons Amulet, which could increase the load-bearing capacity, to the Clergy Exile. Otherwise, Malu would now see a heavy-armored man wielding two heavy weapons, who could run and jump easily and at a speed no less than her, chasing her relentlessly.
Due to the different focuses of training, Leon can deal with the sword-wielding exile alone, and it is relatively easy, while Malu needs to cooperate with Tel to restrain the priest exile, and they dare not confront him head-on at all.
Those two molten iron hammers are bigger than humans. No matter who sees them, they will not have the idea of competing with them. If they are hit by one of them, their heads will sink into their stomachs.
In the novice map, you may encounter numerical monsters. The dual-wielding big chicken legs are as strong as monsters and you cannot defeat them no matter how hard you try.
The tactics were quickly discussed. Drew used magic such as [Quarry], [Vine], and [Lightning Trap] to delay the actions of the Priest Exile. Tel was responsible for restraining the opponent's actions and trying to use his blunt weapon to break the armor. Malu waited for an opportunity at the edge, either attacking the gaps in the heavy armor or waiting for Tel to damage the opponent's armor.
This tactic was quite effective in the beginning. Both the heavy armor and the two molten iron hammers made the weight of the Clergy Exile reach an astonishing number. After Drew released several induction spells in succession, he successfully led him into the range of the Quagmire. The Quagmire that turned the ground into a muddy swamp was extremely effective for him, and he could not pull his legs out for a while.
Tel took this opportunity to change his weapon to a mace, roared and turned into a greenskin, and smashed the opponent's head while shouting "Waaaagh!"!
The quality of the heavy armor produced by Sion was indeed very strong. After being hit by the mace, only a shallow dent appeared on the surface, but the huge kinetic energy was believed to have been transmitted to the priest's head, causing his movements to stagnate again.
Maru appeared behind him, pulled out a poisoned dagger and stabbed it into the gap in the heavy armor. The priest's body was unexpectedly slender, and there was a gap between him and the surface of the armor. These gaps were filled with cotton cloth and chain mail, and the dagger could not penetrate at all!
But a qualified assassin must learn to consider things from many aspects. The dagger in her hand is not a simple dagger, but an enchanted weapon. Injecting magic power can generate a magic blade to extend its attack distance. The more magic power injected, the greater the power!
So, after the magician used at least four spells, the berserker used up his rage skill, and the assassin consumed a quarter of his magic reserve.
They finally inflicted a small scratch on the body of the Hierophant Exile.
“Boom!”
The priest turned around and kicked Malu away before she could draw her dagger, and smashed the molten iron hammer in his hand towards Tel!
"Mud Swamp Technique!"
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, the ground under Tel's feet suddenly turned into an even more muddy swamp, and he was hit directly into it by the stick!
When the priest wanted to make another move, the ground suddenly hardened. When he hit it again, Tel had disappeared. It seemed that he had been moved away.
He looked up at Drew and realized that this was the man who did it, so he rushed over quickly.
"Oh no, Drew is in danger!"
Malu threw knives at the priest, but there was no way to attract the other party's attention. In desperation, she glanced at Leon not far away, and suddenly pulled something from his waist.
"Boss, can I borrow it?"
"Wait a moment!"
She threw the feces pot at the priesthood, and with a "bang", the stench spread everywhere, and the juice flowed in through the gaps in the armor!
The priest turned around silently. Although he didn't say anything, he was full of murderous intent and rushed towards Malu like an out-of-control tank.
Hey, why does it feel like this guy has suddenly become more violent? He shouldn't be that angry, right?
Leon found time to dodge the Exile's broadsword and said helplessly, "That's my special excrement pot, with magic added to it to lure the enemy."
"ah?"
Mary was stunned. She had originally wanted to rely on herself and Drew to help each other with the priesthood, but if this happened.
Wouldn't that mean the priest would chase her and beat her?
Looking at Malu being chased around by Hongwen's priest, Leon didn't know what expression to make, so he had to get rid of the exile first and then help Malu.
The Exile's Claymore is a very popular weapon in Dark Souls III. It is a great tool for beginners to use in the game and it is not a problem to use it all the way to the end.
However, if it is materialized in the dungeon, it is just an excellent weapon with a good feel and high quality. It cannot be compared with the backhand sword with the two rogue combat skills [Blind Spot Strike] or [Swift Slash]. When Leon used Swift Slash, the Exile couldn't even touch him.
Ultimately, it suffered from the times. Its combat skill [Spinning Slash] can only be said to be mediocre, and its normal attacks feel excellent, but they have to hit the enemy first.
It should be popular among adventurers whose professions are characterized by great strength, but only when fighting monsters.
If you want to fight against the Sion PVP adventurers who are full of weird tactics nowadays, you can only hope for the best.
The surging sword energy continued to burst out, and Leon would always appear behind the Exile. The opponent's armor was already very thick, but he would still be staggered by the sword energy burst out by the swift slash, and the armor would become tattered.
Leon glanced at the backhand sword which was also badly worn, took out a handful of repair powder and sprinkled it on it. The weapon was instantly restored to its original state. He then ate a broccoli with a stamina potion and continued to repeat his combat skills at the enemy.
How should I put it, it feels good at first to think that you can win by repeating a grade, but after doing it too much, life feels boring.
The exile swung his sword in vain, and before falling, he finally caught Leon's looseness and cut a big hole in his breastplate with his sword.
The exile died and his body turned to ashes, leaving behind the exile's broadsword. It seemed that this was the trophy.
"I've been slacking off in battle. Have I been having too much of a good time these days?"
Leon was glad that he had returned to the Fran Fortress before entering the road of living sacrifice, and put on the armor that was melted but barely wearable, otherwise the knife would have cut open his chest!
"Okay, let's go help Marumalu quickly?"
Turning around, Malu and the priest exile were nowhere to be seen. Drew was trying his best to treat Tel, who had suffered comminuted fractures all over his body. When he heard Leon's voice, he raised his head, his eyes full of confusion.
In just a blink of an eye, how come Malu and the enemy disappeared?
"But be sure not to encounter outrageous events."
Fortunately, the weight of the priest exiles will leave heavy footprints on the ground. If you follow the footprints, you can see
A deep pit?
No, this can't be called a pit, because there is a ladder to climb up, and it looks like there is another space underground.
The magical aura left by Malu and the footprints of the priest exile all disappeared here, one after the other.
The area around the big pit was covered with dense fallen leaves, and with the water covering the surface, it would have been impossible to see if there were no footprints nearby. The pit was also very deep, and if one accidentally fell in, there would be no chance of survival.
Rather than saying this is the road leading to a new space, it would be more accurate to say that this is a trap placed here intentionally!
"No way, Malu fell down?"
Leon didn't know what to say at this moment. Malu and the enemy's footsteps disappeared here. Maybe they all fell down?
If Maru fell in first and the Clergy Exile fell in later.
Two molten iron hammers and a set of heavy armor fell from a high place and hit Malu. The scene was simply unimaginable!
"Drew, I'm going to go down for a while, please keep an eye on the surroundings!"
Drew made a reassuring gesture to him and gave up on treating Tel. The big chicken leg hit him almost instantly and he couldn't fight even if he was barely saved, so it would be better to let him go to the campfire to revive.
"Why did the two enemies guarding here suddenly become stronger?"
While Leon was climbing down the ladder, Drew used the flying spell to fly above the building guarded by the two exiles and used the Eagle Eye spell.
His sight passed through the fortress, through the winding paths, and then through a large open space that looked like it might be hiding elite monsters, and he saw an enormous church!
The area around the church was covered with dark clouds, and just looking at it made one feel a deep and heavy feeling that made one not want to get close.
But even with all their might, there were no monsters to be seen along the way. Only a few were wandering around here and there. This seemed to be a special measure taken by the dungeon to prevent the Eagle Eye Technique.
"I see. I understand."
When his eyes felt burning from overdrawn energy, he quickly retracted his Eagle Eye Technique and muttered to himself while doing eye exercises similar to this:
"The Sacrifice Road and the Crucifixion Forest end here. This is the only place suitable for newcomers to train. Go through the building to a new area."
"Just looking at it will make you feel sick. It must be a very dangerous place, not suitable for ordinary people to enter. That's why there are two guards who are much stronger than other monsters guarding here!"
In terms of combat power alone, he felt that these two exiles combined could fight the Black Knight not far away, and the outcome was uncertain.
As he struggled to climb down from the building, Leon also climbed out from underground.
"How is it going?"
Leon shook his head and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing. He just showed Drew a bloody mercenary knife. Malu's fate was self-evident.
"What a shame. Should we go back to find them, or keep moving forward?"
“Before that, Drew, do me a favor,” Leon patted the other’s shoulder, “Please give me a temporary amnesia, I don’t want to remember the scene down there anymore.”
"ah?"
The scene in the deep pit was too tragic, even Leon didn't want to remember it.
How to describe it? You fill a balloon with red liquid, and then try to burst it with your foot in a small space.
That's what Maru looks like.
It seems that Leon guessed correctly. It was Malu who fell down first, followed by the priest exile who was chasing her, and it was obvious that neither of them could grab the ladder.
Old Ma, oh old Ma, she bears a weight that she shouldn't bear at this age.
There is another thing. The priest exile left behind a smelting hammer after his death.
The two discussed it and finally decided to give up on it. The reason was simple - they couldn't lift it.
Can he climb up the ladder from the deep pit with a molten iron hammer on his back? Not to mention what kind of physical fitness that requires, can the rope ladder withstand it? Flying is not an option either, because it consumes magic power based on weight, and Drew can't afford it now.
At present, I can't see what other features of the smelting hammer are, except that it is very large and heavy, so I'd better give up.
Leon and Drew walked back for a while until they met Malu, who had a gloomy face, and Tel, who was in a depressed mental state. If you were killed by something weighing more than a thousand pounds, you probably wouldn't be able to laugh.
The trip back and forth took quite a while, and we discovered some forks in the road that we hadn't seen before, so we explored them further. By the time we passed through the building guarded by the two exiles and walked forward, two hours had passed, and it should have been dark outside.
Going deeper, there are obviously more magicians wearing big hats. These little guys wearing only very little cloth have become their best stress relief tool. Compared to the iron cans wearing heavy armor, the feeling of hitting the flesh with a knife is indeed the most wonderful.
When the number of magician-type enemies increased, Leon thought that he might encounter elites related to magic, and the result was just as he expected.
Inside the large field of the last ruined building, they encountered a rather familiar enemy.
【Crystal Elder】
"Oh my God, we don't have to run around again, do we?" Malu showed an annoyed expression.
"We have to solve it as soon as possible, before he escapes."
However, this crystal old man was different from the one they had encountered in the magic academy.
Not only did the frequency of flashes decrease relatively much, but the power of spells also decreased and the color of the special effects turned purple. I don't know what the meaning of this is. In addition, the venue was much smaller than the magic academy, so this battle was actually easier than expected.
The crystal old man in the magic academy is C++, so the one here is standard C. After all, the strength of the boss of a fifty-man group and the boss of a ten-man group cannot be the same.
When designing the strength of monsters in dungeons, Gong Qiying no longer rigidly sets it according to their original strength. It is possible to strengthen or weaken them.
The battle didn't last too long. The flash and clone of the Crystal Old Man were still a problem and caused some distress to people, but in the end they still had no choice but to lose their gold coins.
After you get the [Crystallized Old Man's Soul], you can go to the Undead Corps' bonfire and find Rhodos to refine the soul.
A bonfire appeared behind the battlefield where the Crystal Old Man leader was fighting. At this time, a bell rang in the distance, and the time for the dungeon to close was approaching.
"We can only continue exploring the area ahead tomorrow."
Leon moved his sore arms and said, "Forget it, let's take a day off tomorrow."
I gained a lot today. I can sleep in at home tomorrow, organize some information after I get up, and continue exploring the dungeon the day after tomorrow.
"Boss," Malu suddenly looked at him with tears in her eyes, looking pitiful, "I feel so sad today, I want to eat something good."
"Okay, okay."
Leon smiled, and everyone teleported to the Casas Underground Cemetery before the dungeon was closed. Not long after, they appeared in the royal city and found a restaurant to have a big meal.
When they were burping and going out to find a hotel to rest, a stranger suddenly came over.
"You are Leon from the Bed City Raiders Group, right?"
The visitor was a handsome blond man of the same type as Leon, but he looked a little greasy.
"I'm Leon, what can I do for you?" Leon raised his head and looked at the man, making sure he didn't know him.
But this strange young man gave people a very calm feeling, not because of his personality, but because of his strength.
The opponent was like a whole piece of steel, with all his strength tightly concentrated in his body, so that at first glance he would be mistaken for an ordinary person.
A strong man, this is undoubtedly a strong man, is he comparable to Leon? No, he is stronger than him.
"My name is Fingri, and I'm also an adventurer. I recently heard about your deeds and have long wanted to come and see your face in person. You are indeed a handsome man."
Leon looked at the young man named Fingri, and his intuition told him that this man was not just here for a meeting.
Sure enough, Fingri pulled out a letter from his bosom and handed it to him, saying, "Your mother asked me to deliver this letter to you. I originally wanted to go to the guild to find you, but I happened to meet you here."
My mother? My mother is dead. Oh, stepmother.
Leon’s expression suddenly became boring, and he said, “Thank you, but what is your relationship with my family?”
"I was sponsored by your father when I was just starting out, but we have rarely been in touch in recent years, and our relationship is not made public, so it's normal that you don't know about me."
Fingri patted Leon on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, the letter has been delivered, my mission is completed, goodbye."
Leon was about to say goodbye, but Fingri added before turning away:
"Thank you for your strategy. My friends and I have the honor of becoming the third team to defeat Overlord Wolnir. Let's work together when we have time. I look forward to the day when you also become a gold rank."
The third one to defeat Overlord Wolnir?
Before he could ask any more questions, Fingri had disappeared without a trace.
At this time, Drew came over and said, "As far as I know, we were the first to defeat the Overlord, followed by Luluwo and his group, and as for the third..."
His expression showed some surprise, and he said, "It's the gold-level 'Hathavi' team! Was that their captain 'Flash' Fingri just now?"
When the Overlord strategy was released, people thought that the third group to defeat Overlord Wonir would be the Light Eagles. However, the fact is that the Light Eagles have not yet succeeded.
Before them, several teams had already won. They were all absolutely elite teams attracted by Sean's fame and surpassed Eliphis and others. Among them was the Hassawi team.
Speaking of which, the Hassawi team is considered to be a low-key one among the gold-level ones. It is said that the entire team consists of only three people, and their appearance is unknown. Even if they have completed an important commission, they will not publicize it on weekdays. No wonder no one recognizes them when they walk on the street.
"The boss's father actually funded such a person?" Malu was also surprised.
Leon didn't react, just waved his hand, not caring about these things. What if he funded the gold level? His current strength can also apply for promotion to the guild.
It's impossible for his father to entrust the gold-level team to beat him up, right?
“Ss ...
He opened the letter from his stepmother on the spot. He had cut off contact with his family after beating his father and sister in public. He thought that they would also hate him, but he did not expect a letter to come to him.
What would it be, a curse? A request? Or the most unlikely, a peace agreement?
The incident caused a big fuss at the time, which was equivalent to him bringing shame to his elders. It was impossible for him and his family to reconcile.
When he really saw the content above, Leon fell into a long silence.
"What's wrong, boss?" Malu asked worriedly, but the other party directly stuffed the letter into her hands and said, "Read it yourself."
After reading it, Malu fell silent and handed the letter to Drew. Drew widened his eyes and passed the letter to Tel.
Tel scratched his head and asked hesitantly:
"What do you mean, Boss, your father and sister ran away from home?"
