Chapter 82: The Fire is Going Out, the Oath of Gold and Stone, the Sun's Eldest Son
Gong Qiying's first version of the big tree hole was over a thousand meters high.
Later, I felt that the data was too exaggerated and too discouraging. No matter how powerful the king of fall resistance was, it would not be able to hold up, so it was greatly cut and the height was reduced.
The exploration team's rapid descent skipped about one-tenth of the height, but the rest of the journey was still thrilling.
The crisscrossing tree roots are thick and thin, some are smooth and some are rough. If you want to descend quickly while ensuring safety, you need to carefully consider every foothold. It would be interesting if you jump down but lose your balance because the roots are too slippery and cause Robert to fall.
To be honest, if you are not looking for speed descent, it is not difficult to explore slowly one pit at a time. Although you may fall if you are not careful, the movable area is narrow, and there is almost nowhere to hide when encountering monsters, but because it is a top-down perspective, you will rarely be attacked by monsters.
For people with a talent for jumping, the Big Tree Hole is actually much more comfortable than the Undead Town.
As for the monsters distributed here.
"These things again!?"
This time it was Stellan's turn to take the lead. She fell on a thick tree root and was about to report the situation to her superiors when three dark shadows suddenly jumped out!
After taking a closer look, Stellan got goosebumps all over her body, because these creatures were - cursed frogs!
Isn't it common sense that there are curse frogs in big tree holes?
The front half of the entire tree hole was really full of curse frogs. Sometimes, when standing on the roots of the tree, you could hear the creepy and strange calls of the curse frogs coming from below. The key point was that it was pitch black underneath, which added a sense of unknown fear.
She encountered the cursed frog almost every time she jumped, which made Stellan break out in a cold sweat. The psychological trauma left by this thing on her was no less than that of the Crucible Knight and the Golem.
Fortunately, after many adventures, everyone has gained rich experience in how to deal with cursed frogs, and these cute little creatures can only cause a little trouble to the exploration team.
Halfway through the descent, disagreements arose within the team.
The reason for the disagreement is that.
"I'm going to pick up the light spot," Melgar looked at the bright white light spot on the tree roots not far away with a determined expression.
The temptation of light spots to adventurers is fatal!
"It's too dangerous. Maybe next time?" Perry advised.
"I know my limits," Melgar shook her head. She had gained nothing from this adventure and she had to bring something back.
The mission she was carrying out did not allow her to return empty-handed.
"And don't you think that landing spot is very suitable?" she said, pointing to the location of the light.
It was indeed very suitable. The location of the light spot was close to the edge of a large tree hole. Several tree roots intertwined to form a large platform. There was also a hole connected to the platform. I wonder what was inside.
At worst it's just a monster, I can handle it.
With this thought in mind, Melgar leaped up and landed steadily on the platform thanks to her excellent physical strength. This distance was quite extreme, with half of her feet hanging in the air. If she was slightly stimulated at this time, she would probably -
“Boom boom boom.”
A series of strange noises suddenly rang out, and a large ball covered with blue crystals quickly rushed out of the cave, apparently trying to knock her down!
Melgar smiled contemptuously, jumped up, and easily jumped into the air. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to avoid the collision.
"The movement trajectory can be seen at a glance. This trap is too low-level."
However, it is impossible not to have accidents.
The big ball touched the ground and jumped right in front of Melgar!
"Why?"
The smile on Melgar's lips had not disappeared yet, and now he could see the true appearance of the ball clearly.
It turned out to be a giant lizard in a ball!
【Crystal Lizard】
[Required mental power per unit: 100]
[Comprehensive combat power: D-]
Oh no, it's over.
As they watched the crystal lizard throw Melgar off the tree roots and both of them fell off the cliff, the members of the exploration team were silent for a moment.
Stellan suddenly couldn't help laughing.
"Haha, this is the retribution for underestimating the Sen Dungeon." She has died many times here and has the most say.
At this moment, Stellan felt very happy, but why did she feel happy? Was it because her annoying sister was defeated? No, it was not because of this reason, but——
The veteran who had suffered so much gloated over the ignorant newcomer being killed!
Melgar fell off a cliff, but the exploration team's adventure must continue.
Everyone was more cautious when descending, and carefully observed the surroundings for monsters and traps before each action. They even spotted the big-mouthed little devil lying in ambush from a long distance.
The further down you go, the more colorful the scenery of the big tree hole becomes. The upper part is bare tree roots, while the lower part begins to have green plants, which makes the viewing experience much better.
And here, they encountered new monsters.
"These mushroom people look so poor and weak," Malu couldn't help but complain as she looked at the monsters wandering in the open space below.
Those monsters looked like mushrooms with hands and feet, and each of them looked dull. Even the two largest ones still seemed to have no fighting power.
【Mushroom Man (Dad)】
[Each unit's required mental strength: confidential]
[Comprehensive combat capability: confidential]
Perhaps this is the weakest monster in the entire Sen Dungeon.
"I'll go down and meet them,"
Tel jumped down first and kicked a little mushroom man to death. The rest of the little mushroom men were just like chopping melons and vegetables for him, as if he was playing Dynasty Warriors.
One of the mushroom man fathers couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he walked up to Tel with heavy steps and slowly raised his fist.
"It's just mushrooms, come on!"
Tel's orc genes broke out at this moment, and he chose to trade injuries with the mushroom man without even trying to dodge.
“Boom—”
A muffled sound.
When Tel fell to the ground with his life or death unknown, even the Holy Light Knight couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
How can a mushroom man's ordinary punch be so powerful? ? ?
In the end, everyone chose to hide obediently on the tree roots and shot the mushroom man to death one arrow at a time.
Despicable Foreigner
Thanks to Perry's full efforts in treating him, Tel was not sent back to the resuscitation center, but he moved with a limp.
He looked at the mushroom man with eyes full of fear.
After an unknown amount of time, the exploration team finally, finally, finally reached the bottom.
Unexpectedly, the scenery at the bottom was bare rock, which looked like an underground mine, which was very different from the big tree hole.
The bonfire that everyone had been longing for sat quietly on the open space. When everyone saw the bonfire, they instantly felt a sense of security.
But what was even more surprising was a huge corpse lying next to the campfire.
The corpse of a dragon.
After who knows how many years, the dragon's corpse has turned into the shape of rock, and its cause of death is obvious - a strangely shaped spear pierced its head.
The spear also turned into rock, leaving no chance for the adventurers to take it away, but a ball of purple light floated near the spear.
"Is that a reward?"
The three magicians undoubtedly made the greatest contributions on this trip. After some discussion and rolling the dice, Drew stepped forward and picked up the light spot.
That's another page.
[Miracle: The Oath of Stone]
[A miracle that can only be used by those chosen by the Sun Oath, which can make you and your companions more heroic and stronger]
[This is the most magnificent dragon hunting story intertwined between the eldest son of the sun, his direct knight, and the dragon hunting swordsman]
The moment Drew touched the pages of the book, his consciousness entered the story recorded in the Oath of Stone.
He saw the god-like figure of the Eldest Son of the Sun, saw him piercing the body of an ancient dragon with the spear in his hand, saw the dragon hunting swordsman slaying one ancient dragon after another with his sword, and saw how powerful and high-spirited the protagonists of the story were.
At the end of the story, as if triggering an Easter egg, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a golden figure wearing lion armor and three knights gathered around him.
When Drew came to his senses, his body was shaking.
It took him a long time to calm down, and he told everyone about the scene he had just seen. But no matter how he described it, the pale words could not reproduce the magnificent scene that could only be seen in the mythological era.
Leon and the others showed envious eyes, while Stellan began to think.
The Eldest Son of the Sun also appeared in the story of "Thunderlance", and the broken statue on the Sun Altar is suspected to be not Gwyn, but the Eldest Son of the Sun.
What kind of character is this? What kind of legendary story did he have in ancient times? I really want to know! There is too little information!
Stellan was itching to finish the story of the Age of Fire in one go.
"Everyone, let's light the bonfire," she urged, already eager to see if the new bonfire would produce any new images.
Leon's eyes were blurred, and he muttered to himself:
"All the stories I have collected along the way all show one thing: the Age of Fire was the best and most glorious age, when heroes created magnificent epics and wrote one legend after another."
Finally, he sighed:
"The Age of Fire will never end. Perhaps the world we live in now is supported by flames."
The Flame Brother agreed with his words and asked the young man if he was interested in becoming a bishop in the Starfire Church.
The Holy Light Knight still had a stern face, but this time he didn't dare to kick the campfire again.
With a yearning for ancient times, everyone sat around the campfire and lit a flame.
The old voice appeared again.
However, this time it is not as energetic as before, but gives people an inexplicable feeling.
Seems a bit spooky?
Everyone suddenly had a bad feeling.
The first sentence of the video dropped a bombshell on everyone——
"But the fire will eventually go out, and then only darkness will remain,"
I was writing while looking up information, so the progress was very slow.
It's time to catch up on soul learning
