The depth of this valley is only about 30 kilometers, two kilometers at its widest point, and less than 100 meters at its narrowest point.The valley is densely foliage, overgrown with shrubs, and I don't know how many years have passed, the fallen leaves in the valley are piled up layer by layer, and the valley is full of miasma in this midsummer, and there is a small stream hidden in the place of shrubs in the valley, which sometimes appears in people's field of vision, and sometimes hides in the swamp where the dead branches and leaves are deposited, and disappears from the ground for a while, like a dark river into the ground, and like a spring in the low-lying place.The valley is flanked by faults in the rock walls, and when you get close to those rock walls, you can clearly see a large amount of sand and gravel mixed in the rock formations."
The humidity here is so heavy, the two-headed flame snake lizard belongs to the second-level fire attribute demonic beast, how can it be possible to choose to build a nest here?"
Andy followed behind the human guide, his long leather boots treading among the water-filled dead leaves, the rotten leaves sticking to the boots, and he struggled to pull his foot out, complaining that the thieves' guild that had sold him to Benjamin's senior had mistaken the information.It would be more credible to say that there was a poisonous lizard hiding in this valley.No one wants to go into such a valley, the conditions here are so harsh that if you are not careful, you will fall into this muddy swamp, and you may not even have time to call for help, you will be led into the dark river that lurks underground.When we arrived, even the experienced guide was no longer in the mood to tell us the classic story of hunting monsters.More often than not, he was holding the long wooden pole and testing the path under his feet.Senior Benjamin's face also became a little ugly, did the grandchildren of the thieves' guild conclude that the members of the clan could not enter the depths of this valley, so they weaved such a perfect lie.The morale of the team began to drop, no one expected that the environment here would be so difficult, every step forward requires great courage, here the grass and bushes are overgrown, there is no way to walk, those thorny vines full of sharp thorns are entwined in it, the sharp spikes only slightly scrape on the clothes, it will tear a hole, walking in such a person-high wild grass and bushes, many times even the direction can not be distinguished, fortunately you can also see the fault layers on both sides of the valley, The human guide can also take us forward little by little.Entering the dense forest, the road becomes much easier to walk.I reached out and grabbed the branches of a large tree, leapt to the trunk with dexterity, and climbed to the canopy like an agile monkey, startling away a flock of budgies.I stood on top of the canopy of trees and looked at the whole valley like a green scarf, and those tightly connected canopies were not the prints on the scarf?
Feeling the wind flowing between the valleys, there was a faint smell of sulfur in the air, and there was geothermal lava in front of it, which I concluded was the smell of sulfur emitted from the exit of the geothermal lava, a little pungent.The valley was dense with nothing but heat and the smell of plants, and the faint wind could not penetrate the dense jungle, and it would have been impossible for me to smell the sulfur had not climbed above the canopy.I jumped directly from the canopy of a tree more than thirty meters high, and Sister Mia covered her eyes tightly in fright.Jumping down from this height was as easy as eating for me, and when we were in the caravan, we rode in a thunder rhino that was several meters higher than the canopy here, and every day we had to jump up and down on the back of the thunder rhino like a monkey, without thinking about how dangerous it was.The life of the people of the empire is really too comfortable.When Mia opened her eyes again, I was already gasping for breath and standing next to Benjamin.Andy was very envious of my tree-climbing skills, which he should have learned as a ranger, but it seems that he didn't learn how to climb trees, which is not an exam subject in the academy."
It really scared me, I thought you fell from above!"
Mia-senpai said to me with a pat on her bulging chest.Andy was a little impressed with me, and he looked back at me and said, "Jijia, you're awesome!"
”Senior Benjamin asked me curiously, "What did you find, and you can't wait to jump off after such a short period of effort?"
”He really has the aura of a leader, and he can analyze everything accurately, at least perceiving some small details.I pointed to the denser jungle belt in front of me on the left and said, "There's a smell of sulphur coming from there, and I suspect there's geothermal lava!"
”"You mean that the two-headed snake lizard is hiding in geothermal lava?"
Senior Benjamin looked at the dense forest in front of him, and wanted to open a portal directly.He turned to the guide who was sitting next to him and said, "Let's go that way!"
”We groped our way along the outcropping creek in a predetermined direction, and accidentally stepped into the water, which is warm, and the closer we got to the rocky fault, the stronger the smell of sulfur became.Where there is a stream, at least it proves that there is still a layer of soil.Dick and Trenshu carved a narrow passage through the dense bushes with hatch knives in their hands, and when they hunted the two-headed snake lizards, they would act as reserve members and not directly participate in the battle, as they had not yet been successfully promoted to full-fledged warriors.Passing through the dense bush, the human guide suddenly stopped in front of him and beckoned Dick and Trenshu to stop.We hurried up and found a cavern in the rock wall of the valley through a thin layer of bushes, and the pungent smell of sulphur emanated from there.A huge earthy lizard with dark red stripes appeared in our field of vision, and it slept at the entrance of the cave, its head and body hidden in the cave, except for a short, thick bucket-like tail exposed, with two rows of sharp bone spurs on the tail of the snake lizard, and the tail was covered with scales the size of eggs."
It's probably asleep."
The guide of the man hiding in the bushes said in a hoarse voice that he had not slept well yesterday because he had caught grouses in the valley, and that when he woke up in the morning, his voice had become hoarse.There was a sound like a drum beating in the cave, and there was a strong tremor in the rumbling sound.It was an adult two-headed snake lizard, but it was much larger than we had expected at first, and we could clearly see its huge short tail as thick as a bucket, and its huge buttocks in the dim cave looked as fat as a giant elephant, and the archer in the group, who had been silent and unwilling to speak, came up to Senior Benjamin, and he whispered a few words softly in Benjamin's ear, my hearing was much sharper than the average person, and I could vaguely hear Wiblen saying, "Boss, this big guy looks much bigger than the intelligence!"
”The information I found in the library is that an adult two-headed snake lizard weighs almost less than a ton, which means that the two-headed snake lizard is not much larger than the one-horned bison, but the two-headed snake lizard in front of me, just looking at its short tail and fat buttocks, I know that it cannot be too small at all."
Withdraw first!"
Senior Benjamin didn't delay too much in the bushes outside the cave entrance, and immediately retreated along the path opened up with his team when he saw that the situation was wrong.Although we were very well prepared this time, we didn't think that this two-headed flame snake lizard was much bigger than we thought, so in this case, the strength of the flame snake lizard would also increase proportionally, and there was a great risk for the warrior Will.Will looks very tall, his dark skin has a chocolate-like sheen, his body is covered with bulging muscles, he has a tower shield like a door panel on his back, and a saber hanging from his belt, he is the strongest man in the team, but in the face of the two-headed snake lizard like Roshan, we are still worried that this graduate who has just been promoted to shield warrior will not be able to withstand the pressure of the two-headed snake lizard from the front."
Boss, let's try it according to the established plan!"
Will groaned for a moment and spoke.As a shield fighter, he can't tolerate running away without a fight, this kind of frustration will become a demon on his future growth path, a warrior must have courage and will to fight in his heart, I have already felt the fighting spirit in his words at this time.Benjamin thought for a moment, turned his head to look at Mia, the priest's apprentice sitting beside him, maybe Mia gave him some confidence to win, he hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to come down, and said to Andy on the side: "Prepare to find an open field as a battlefield" He looked at me before saying, "It's better to be by the stream." ”"Got it, Boss!"
Andy said seriously.So the members of Benjamin's team began to get busy with their duties.Will the warrior sat under the tree and took out a whetstone to sharpen his sharp saber, he wanted to be quiet and think about the details of the battle, Senior Benjamin stuffed two bottles of stamina potion and five bottles of healing potion to Will, and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't hold it hard, if you find something wrong, withdraw it." ”Will nodded.Wiblen began to choose a place to stay on the big trees, and then with Andy's help, he tied a simple rope ladder under the cross-branches of some large trees suitable for archery, I think he was going to be condescending and use a longbow to suppress the double-headed snake lizard, but climbing trees seemed to be a problem for this archer, so he tied a knotted hemp rope to every big tree that could be climbed, I looked at Wiblen with admiration, and thought to myself that the old saying is true: a living person cannot be suffocated by urine.Assassin Ram had always been like an invisible man in the team, he always sat in an inconspicuous corner, and it was easy for people to ignore his presence, and at this time he also began to follow Andy to familiarize himself with his surroundings, and when fighting, it would be fun if he accidentally fell into the mud pit hidden under the dead branches and leaves.Mia looked a little nervous, but her submissive, the female swordsman, was always by her side to comfort her.And I stood with Senior Randolph, his servant was a shield warrior, standing behind him like a shadow, and Randolph had been discussing the shield warrior: "Mr.
O'Connor, if you send me to the top of the tree beforehand, I don't think you even need to protect me, after all, my fireball is far enough away, you go and help Will!"
”"Forgive me, Lord Randolph, although I am your servant, my duty is to keep you safe, and when you are in danger, my shield must be the first to appear in front of you, this is the condition of the contract, and we must obey our contract."
The shield warrior said in a stern manner, but seeing that there was no ease on his face, he probably didn't think so much about this capture.Randolph didn't argue too much about this, just sighed and said, "Okay then!
”"Jijia, let me rush too!"
Ruka the Minotaur excitedly said to me that he is usually a gentle bull, but once he has the will to fight, he will become crazy, which makes me look at him a little worriedly.Ruka the Minotaur looked at me with a pleading look, he untied the big mallet from his back, and he said to me with some eagerness: "I want to practice the fighting skills I learned in the Warrior Academy the other day!"
”Ruka's eyes eager to fight are extremely hot, for the minotaur who came out of the underground black boxing arena, he has rich combat experience, and has also experienced the test of life and death, he has enough courage in the face of danger, I really have no reason to refuse, but he doesn't seem to worry about my safety at all, which makes me a little unhappy, I really want to say: Hey, do you want to be my servant, didn't you say that you want to protect me?"
Jia, protect yourself, it's better to keep that big guy by your side all the time," said Benjamin as he walked over to me."
Eh, senior, Ruka said he wanted to go up and help, and I agreed!"
After I finished speaking, I quickly added: "I will take care of myself!"
”Ruka stood aside and excitedly waved the large gavel in his hand.With the help of human guides, Andy and Ram had already demarcated the area of the battle, and sure enough, it was in a forest by a stream, which was a good place to fight without weeds, bushes, or muddy swamps.Andy is responsible for luring the two-headed snake lizard out of the cave, he needs to choose the best retreat route, because he is the only ranger in the team, he is flexible and agile enough, the shield warrior Will came out from under the big tree and began to study the details with Andy, he has to choose the best place to meet Andy, he is the main force to fight the two-headed snake lizard head-on.At this time, it was Benjamin who assigned the task that was idle, he held a delicate Roman sword in his hand, and a knight's light shield in the other hand.Just to be on the safe side, I started to set up some enhanced Frost Scroll small traps around the battlefield, and a few days ago, a group of adventurers returning from the ice tundra brought back a large amount of Ice Grass, which happened to be the first to arrive by the horses who got the news, and bought a few plants in front of the big herbalist, which gave me the opportunity to draw an enhanced version of the Frost Scroll.Watching me lay small birdcatcher clips around the battle area, Randolph leaned over curiously and asked, "What are the properties of these magic scrolls?"
Hydro Gathering Scrolls?
”The Two-Headed Flame Snake Lizard is a fire-attribute magical beast, and the purpose of Senior Benjamin's invitation to come is also to let me bless all the combatants with the Ice Shield Technique, so that everyone will not be afraid of the scorching flames on its body when facing the Two-headed Flame Snake Lizard, and I can also set up a few ice walls to block the attack route of the Two-headed Flame Snake Lizard when necessary.To be continued.
