The fisherman druid is in another world

Chapter 485

Out of a sense of urgency, the treasure hunting team took a short break at noon that day and ate some water and drank some dry food, and that was their lunch.

The original plan was to complete the journey in two days, but now with the parasitic puppets doing the hard work, the group was able to complete a two-day journey in one day.

Of course, hard work and some risks are inevitable.

We arrived at the Split Mountain Canyon shortly after noon. The slope of the canyon was nearly 90°, and the terrain looked extremely treacherous. It really looked like several connected mountains were split apart by a great force.

It is said that this was the work of gods, but people in the supernatural circle do not believe this is the truth.

It’s not about doing it, but the cost is too high. What’s the point?
Hei Luobo also recognizes the relevant thinking perspectives of extraordinary people.

The legends of ordinary people tend to be romantic, epic, magical, and fairy tale, while the legends of extraordinary people tend to focus on relatively rational concepts such as interests and goals. It can only be said that distance is a major factor in maintaining mystery. The closer and more understanding it is, the more realistic and vulgar it becomes, and the more it feels like "there is nothing new under the sun."

It was Lei Sili's turn to perform next.

She skillfully instructed the parasitic puppets to clear an area of ​​land.

There was no snow, no large rocks, and it was relatively flat, about three square meters.

Then she took out the spell materials and drew a magic circle on the ground.

There is no way around this. In this world, except for places like Caiwu Island, the free supernatural factors in most areas do not support the supernatural energy consumption of high-level spells.

Then it can only be spent by the caster.

What's more, the laws of nature are distorted, and the applicability of common sense is greatly reduced.

Although common sense is reliable most of the time and in most areas, extraordinary people dare not gamble!

After all, the backlash of high-level spells, even if it doesn't kill you directly, will cause permanent damage, or require the use of expensive life-saving items, which is unaffordable.

Therefore, the method of using one's own magic power to trigger the supernatural power in nature to cast spells gradually faded from the stage.

Today's strange people cast spells by either relying on their own magic power or relying on external objects of the extraordinary series, such as magical tools, alchemical items, potions, etc.

No matter which one, it can be converted into money, or the currency of the extraordinary circle.

After all, it is basically impossible to recover mana from nature after it is consumed.

The wild and extraordinary people are increasingly lacking in techniques like the Eastern fantasy "Spirit Gathering Formation". This is also a major reason why powerful extraordinary organizations and individuals can grasp the pulse of the extraordinary circle and gradually solidify the class.

The extraordinary factors floating around in the world are only enough for some humans to complete their blood awakening and gain the talent to use extraordinary powers. If one wants to make progress, the resources they need can only be exchanged, bought, stolen, or robbed.

Hei Luobo guessed that the reason why the wild and strange people in this world are still quite active is probably because the top figures in the extraordinary circle know that they cannot monopolize all the benefits, and that it is better to guide than to block the opposition forces. If they leave a gap, it will be easier to seize the initiative, and it will also be more convenient to monitor and use them.

But domination is a complex technical job. Standing in different positions, the focus and willingness to exert efforts are also different.

To use that classic phrase to describe it: I haven’t even gotten on the bus yet!
Yes! It is unreasonable to let people who are often hungry have the awareness of those who have no worries about food and clothing.

What’s even more interesting is that it’s one thing to never have tasted the sweetness of life, but once you’ve tasted it and it’s not given to you, you’ll feel unhappy and frustrated.

Therefore, the sincere kindness released at the top of the ruling pyramid, after being deducted layer by layer, often becomes a kind of humiliating charity at the bottom, which cannot solve practical problems and only makes those below feel more angry...

Far away.

As a magical wizard, Lei Sili is obviously used to being responsible for her own profits and losses. Putting aside her magic circle technology, her control over resource costs is really exquisite.

Anyway, in Hei Luobo's eyes, even if he copied and executed it, he couldn't be more economical than Lei Sili.

This savings includes calculations after clarifying the purpose.

For example, teleporting 100 meters and teleporting 120 meters, Lei Sili is able to grasp the details, and the resource quantity card is very accurate.

Then, like a projectile, with a soft "pop!" sound, Lei Sili flew across the more than 200-meter-wide canyon in a parabola and reached the other side.

Even if its specific speed is not as fast as the solid shells of old-fashioned artillery, it is still faster than crossbow arrows.

There is a reason for choosing this speed instead of sliding down.

Even so, Lei Sili only managed to rely on her suddenness and successfully crossed without any interception.

But it still inevitably caused trouble.

A strange bird with a wingspan of about one meter and a body size and weight similar to that of a wild duck, "whoosh whoosh whoosh!" shot up from the bottom of the canyon. Its momentum was like dozens of honeycomb rockets firing at the same time.

These strange birds with long beaks like pterosaurs are based on the principle of variable-wing fighters. When they fly up at high speed in a group jet, they are in a swept-wing state, and when they fly into the air and cruise, they are in a glider state.

When selecting a target and diving, it has swept wings again.

Their amazing thing is that they can lock eyes, similar to the helmet aiming first achieved by the MiG-29 among the third-generation fighters on Earth. As long as they can keep their eyes on the target, they are sure to hit it.

Another sharp point is the speed change in the last stage, which is just like the nitrogen speed increase of a modified racing car, which can suddenly increase the speed by 30%-50%. This speed change is used in the last two or three seconds, which can often effectively disrupt the target's defense or dodge rhythm.

Of course, it still depends mainly on numbers. The heavy crossbow arrows with intelligent tracking effects pouring down like heavy rain and hail are indeed very threatening.

However, the treasure hunting team had sufficient intelligence and had a relatively complete understanding of the habits and characteristics of the "Rain Arrow Bird" in advance, so they threw out poison baits at this time.

These poison baits are specially made magic potions that, when thrown, can stay in the air for a relatively long time, just like dried fish food suspended in water.

And their attraction to the arrowbird is completely irresistible.

Those who succeeded in snatching food would certainly die of poisoning, but more often they would be injured or killed because their formation was disrupted and their speed was too fast, causing a series of mid-air collisions.

That scene, despite its brutality, was truly unique, exciting and thrilling.

After causing a series of traffic accidents similar to those on highways in heavy fog, the arrow rain birds were still a little bit unconvinced. After completing their circling formation in the sky, they swooped down again like hail.

The treasure hunting team tried the same trick again, but the result was not much different from before. Another group of birds were killed by the rain of arrows.

Now the Arrow Rain Birds could hold back no longer and disappeared into the misty canyon like a receding tide.

Old Morin glanced at the number of injured and dead Arrow Rain Birds on the ground and said, "It's not good enough. If a few more die, they will be afraid of us enough."

Hei Luobo didn't say anything. At times like this, it's better to trust the professionals.

So, after Hogan followed Old Morin's instructions to replenish the resources of the magic circle, he was guided by Lei Sili and launched across the canyon.

Immediately afterwards, the Arrow Rain Bird soared into the sky again and carried out two rounds of attacks, both of which ended in tragic man-made chain collision accidents.

Hei Luobo made a rough calculation and found that including those that were not completely dead but were still struggling on the snow, the Arrow Rain Bird had lost thousands of members.

Old Morin said it was okay, the losses of the Arrow Rain Birds exceeded one-tenth of their total mobilization number.

However, there is no need to rush across the canyon, as these Arrow Rain Birds can still harvest some materials.

Specifically, they have feathers. There is a spiritual feather in each of their left and right wings. If they are not broken by accident, they will be extraordinary materials that can be sold at a high price.

But Hei Luobo can make use of more.

He did it covertly enough, sending blood snakes from the ground up to pierce into the corpse, draining away the remaining life force and supernatural elements.

Old Morin and the others also knew that the beak, meat, and even down of the arrowbird were actually worth harvesting.

The problem is that closely associated with harvesting is cost.

In the current situation, they have no way to save small amounts of money. Just like in real life, the poorer people are, the less they can afford to save money, so they can only give up.

Hei Luobo has a higher lower limit because of its technological advantages. It is a brand that can purchase shoes and socks at wholesale prices through channels. Not only are they cheap, but they can also be replaced reasonably. Not only do they always look new to outsiders, but the life of the items is not easily consumed quickly due to frequent use. It can be said to be economical and cost-effective.

After this wave of harvest, the cost of making parasitic puppets has been recovered. The Arrow Rain Birds suffered too many casualties and dared not to go out again for a while.

The treasure hunting team can then easily pass through the dangerous mountain canyon.

While Old Morin and Black Robo were harvesting bird carcasses, Harold had already brought his parasitic puppets to work with Hogan on the other side of the canyon to complete the construction of a temporary cableway.

Next, the luggage and people here completed the crossing via the zipline.

It can only be said that Old Morin had a good grasp of the wisdom and habits of creatures like the Rain of Arrows. Later, they ziplined across the canyon without any danger. There was really no group of Rain of Arrows birds taking the opportunity to attack them when they were slowly passing through the canyon.

After successfully passing the canyon, Hei Luobo glanced at the Sith Iron-feathered Eagle in the sky. It was over a thousand meters high, but with his current eyesight, he could only see a small black dot.

Old Morin, who assisted Hogan in collecting the zipline, stuffed the prepared zipline into his bag and said in a low voice, "The scholar lives, the imitator dies. Although the arrow rain birds are stupid, the tricks we use cannot be reused. It won't be long before these arrow rain birds will get the hang of it.

I hope our competitors learn from us through the Iron Feather Eagle, and the Arrow Rain Bird will give them a surprise."

"Is that so? That's not bad..." Hei Luobo glanced at the foggy canyon, put aside his curiosity, and turned his attention to the next step.

Because the team had laborers carrying heavy loads and because of the invisible pressure from competitors, the journey across the Rift Valley was more compact than originally planned.

What was originally supposed to take two days now has to be completed in one day.

Therefore, there are still some challenges to face on the road ahead.

You must arrive at the designated location A one hour before dark.

The closer you get to the natural treasure house, the closer you get to the center of the former elven kingdom, the world tree.

The so-called natural treasure house is an area with relatively concentrated extraordinary resources formed by the remnants of the power of the World Tree over thousands of years after its destruction.

The closer you get to here, the more powerful the elves' curse becomes.

On the contrary, the corresponding intelligence has become scarce and vague.

Therefore, before dark, even if there is a problem at location A and it does not perform as expected, there is still a chance to execute Plan B. Without this tolerance rate, you really have to rely on your luck and gamble your life.

After Hei Luobo learned about this situation, he didn't say anything, but he became more vigilant in his heart because of his own bad luck.

One is the road, and the other is whether point A or point B is suitable for camping. Both may demonstrate Murphy's Law again, and the probability is not small.

Because in his opinion, the Rift Valley is actually a very suitable place for coincidences caused by bad luck.

When the people who came later slid through the canyon relatively slowly like luggage, due to some coincidence, the Arrow Rain Bird went against the norm and soared into the sky for the third time, immediately trapping the people who were crossing the canyon.

However, the end result was that this legitimately ill-fated coincidence was not triggered.

Then he could only suspect that misfortune would break out ahead, or that misfortune would choose a more threatening way to show its curse of fate on him and the harm to his teammates.

What could it be?

Hei Luobo once wanted to ask Lao Molin what obstacles lay ahead according to their prior intelligence investigation.

After thinking about it, I gave up.

One is that Harold and his team had said when they were recruiting new members in Oren Town that the Rift Valley was a watershed, and those who successfully crossed the valley were rare, and even fewer who managed to escape unscathed.

This has resulted in the information from there not only being inflated in price, but also having questionable credibility.

Therefore, the treasure hunting team does not have that much extra funds and is unwilling to spend too much money on this kind of thing, so they only collect relatively general information and then make their own estimates.

This means that even if he asks now, he won’t be able to get much truly valuable information, and he may easily fall into the obstacles of knowledge and understanding.

Second, all kinds of tricks can be crushed with one punch. With his legendary strength, he feels that he can handle any situation.

Even if saints gather and angels descend, he can just be shameless and abandon his teammates and run away.

His sense of morality is actually very low. He seems to have a flexible bottom line at ordinary times, but in fact it is because many things are either free of cost or easy for him. For the sake of profit, he does not mind establishing a personality that is friendly to others.

If there really is a test of human nature, I can only say sorry for disappointing everyone.

Of course, he would usually take back the ground he lost today after he became stronger, and often pay it back several times over.

It's not that he felt guilty or wanted to avenge his companions, that was just a side thing. The main thing was that this kind of embarrassment to the weak was regarded by him as a serious humiliation and provocation. If you do it on the first day, I will do it on the fifteenth. If you kill someone, you will be killed. I can afford it, and I hope you can too. That's it.

Hei Luobo, who appears kind on the outside but is actually cruel and cold-hearted, secretly prepared himself for a high-level fight in the event of losses.

After all, the night he spent in the bear cave, he witnessed what seemed to be the top-level combat power in this area, legendary monsters and evil spirits.

Although he doesn't seem very smart and was fooled by the Elvish tapestry, he would not turn a blind eye if they met on a narrow road.

He is a greedy and vicious person. When ordinary people meet an enemy, they can often easily accept the result of defeat or retreat. Especially when they are at a high level, they basically have unique skills to save their lives. It is not so easy to completely wipe them out, not to mention when they meet for the first time and have little understanding of the opponent's methods.

Hei Luobo is not like that. His arrogance and experience have made him accustomed to being taken away in one wave.

Taking away the opponent in one wave naturally has many advantages and relatively few troubles. It also largely avoids the spread of information about one's own abilities and means, allowing one to use the same trick again and again.

But the problem is that his combat power is not that strong, but his mind is still full of such thoughts, which is really greedy.

Hei Luobo himself is actually aware of this problem of his.

But he was used to it and it was difficult to change, and he didn't want to change.

After all, similar path dependence has never failed. Even for the dark god Essos, the strategy is to swallow it all in one gulp.

Even though he was surrounded by the Ghost Emperor, he still showed a determined attitude, and would not let go. This is why the current advent bet was born.

In short, without being taught a lesson on this issue, he was willing to gamble even though he knew there was a problem.

Of course, he doesn't think it's purely a matter of luck.

On the contrary, he felt that the technical content was quite high.

For example, he could make a technical retreat.

Just like he did in Olde, after provoking the Saint, he finally chose to give up the risk.

It was a similar situation with Ramas in Stonevania of the Irulan Kingdom. Knowing that he was doomed, he discovered that behind Ramas and the Ice Wind Belt there was a supernatural power far beyond his expectations, so he moved away again.

But the blessing of bad luck is not endless. Especially since his own strength and rank are relatively high, if he wants to give a significant negative impact, the consumption will be greater.

It's like grasping a stone and grasping a mountain, the difficulty is definitely not on the same level.

What's more, this time he was just trying to lay eggs by borrowing chickens. The plan belonged to the treasure hunting team and he was just a participant.

This means that if misfortune wants to gain a sufficient amount of power, it needs a more tortuous path and greater consumption.

He was still willing to try to deal with the bad luck after the multiple reverse leverage. After all, this was equivalent to the gods being unable to take action personally, and spending huge sums of money to repeatedly reduce the ability of the agents to meet certain standards.

This kind of bet, in which a devastating defeat would make the gods lose everything, is something that even a mine at home cannot afford, so of course he is willing to give it a try.

if not?
His purpose is to take risks and stir up trouble, to take risks in the hope of winning, to make a small investment for the chance of a big gain, and to take action when necessary, which is obviously nothing wrong.

So when should we take action?
He thought that this time it was probably about right.

It all depends on who is responsible, the evil spirit here, or the treasure hunter who is chasing after you, or both...
