Unparalleled Beast Soul

Chapter 190 Returning to the Fortress

Following the mark left earlier, Leon walked quickly in the forest of the secret realm. 【】

After breaking through the third-level mad soul warrior, his body was filled with power to the extreme. According to the experience gained from inheriting the soul core, Leon knew that he had to vent it out to avoid hurting his body.

The soul power, which was several times stronger than before, unceasingly stimulated the power of thunder and lightning through the branding of the elements, making Leon's movements lighter and faster, walking through the dense woods, jumping and jumping, towering trees and ubiquitous vines could not do anything at all. constitute any obstacle to him.

Faster and stronger!

While running at lightning speed, Leon deeply felt the pleasure of increasing his strength. A large amount of lightning force stimulated his muscles so that he no longer felt sore and numb, and he didn't feel tired at all when he continued to run at high speed. As far as super warriors are concerned, the improvement is all-round.

And more importantly, after reaching the third level of mad soul warrior, the soul skills that Leon can learn and use more than doubled, especially in terms of attack strength.

It is no exaggeration to say that if he meets that five-person adventure team again at this moment, he will have a high chance of winning in a head-to-head confrontation without sneak attacks or sharp weapons.

Before nightfall, Leon successfully returned to the wild fortress.

The secret forest at night is extremely dangerous. Many nocturnal monsters and underground monsters will come out one after another. They can be seen even in the edge of the forest around the fortress. Therefore, at night, the fortress will close the city gate and enter a state of alert.

Only experienced and strong dare to enter the depths of the secret forest for a few days or even weeks. Most low-level adventurers usually set off in the early morning and return to the fortress at dusk.

And those adventurers who didn't come back in time, most of them will disappear in the forest without any sound.

When the last ray of sunlight in the setting sun disappeared from the top of the highest tower of the fortress, the 10,000+ pound metal gate slowly fell, and fell heavily on the ground, stirring up countless dust, as if separating two different worlds.

The dozen or so adventurers who finally entered the fortress, including Leon, breathed a sigh of relief. According to the rules of the fortress, once the city gate is closed, unless there is a particularly serious situation, they will never come back before tomorrow morning. open.

Three grey-robed priests with expressions stood in the gate of the inner city, holding a staff in one hand and casting spells in the other, blessing each adventurer who entered the city with silver halo spells.

Behind them, a row of more than a dozen heavily armed garrison warriors were waiting in formation. They held their sword hilts and looked cold and solemn, making it clear that once any situation arises, these sturdy warriors will definitely draw their swords at each other without hesitation.

In the depths of the secret realm of the sanctuary, there are some powerful demons with high intelligence, some of them can use special means to occupy the body of an adventurer, and then mix into the fortress to make trouble.

In the initial development stage of adventurers, they often suffered losses from such deformed monsters. Later, mages and priests developed preventive measures against evil detection spells to avoid even greater losses.

Although Leon was new to the sanctuary, thanks to the old lion Gucci's warning, he knew a lot about the basic rules of the wild fortress, so he wasn't surprised.

He successfully passed the evil detection, and soon came to the night charm bar.

Perhaps because it is located near the gate of the city, the business of Yemei Bar is particularly good after nightfall. The bright orange light shines through the open door, and the laughter and cheerful music of the drinkers floats to the long street. deep.

This situation made Leon, who had encountered a thrilling day in the secret forest, warm in his heart, and couldn't help speeding up his pace.

When Leon opened the door and entered the bar, it was already full of adventurers, and there was no place beside the bar.

Just as he was hesitating whether to leave and find another restaurant, several adventurers in a team in front of the bar left at the same time, and Leon happened to go up and take a seat.

"Ray, glad to see you again!"

Larsen, the busy bartender behind the bar, grinned and showed his white teeth.

He poured a glass of fruit wine and placed it in front of Leon, "I treat you to this glass, as a celebration of your living here for another day!"

"Then I won't be polite!" Leon smiled, took the fruit wine and drank it in one gulp: "I will try my best to drink at your place every day!"

The bartender Larsen's words seemed a bit unpleasant, but according to the old lion Gucci, the low-level adventurers who traveled alone in the secret forest, very few could persevere, and either died in the forest or joined a certain team.

"You got a good harvest up there..." Larsen took the animal skin bag that Leon kept beside him, and reminded, "You can go to the adventurer's shop opposite to sell the materials, and store the valuable ones in the secret vault of the mercenary union for the final price." Safety."

"Remember not to make private transactions with others, it is easy to cause problems, and you don't care if you are fooled by the guards!"

The wild fortress is the most important foundation of the Behemoth Kingdom in the secret realm of the sacred realm. It is different from the ordinary mainland fortress. It is not the other three tribes in the mainland, but the terrible beast tide that breaks out in the secret realm every year.

The garrison stationed in the fortress can be regarded as the most elite army in the kingdom. It is composed of all warriors and shaman priests, which makes it have terrible combat power. The task of the garrison army is to guard the fortress and provide protection for adventurers who come to the sanctuary. But apart from ensuring the safety inside the fortress, they basically do not intervene in disputes among adventurers.

Most of the adventurers who can come here have deep backgrounds, representing different forces and families. It is impossible to sort out the conflicts and entanglements between each other, so it is conceivable to maintain a completely independent position of the fortress garrison. Know.

And precisely because of this, some adventurers who have been in the fortress all year round will also do some deceitful things. As long as they don't use force, no one will care. Many novices have been fooled.

Larsen reminded Leon that half of it was because of the face of the old lion Gucci, and the other half was because Leon and he belonged to bear descendants. There are not many subordinates who can enter the secret realm of the sanctuary, and the same clan is even rarer.

Of course Leon could understand his kindness, he raised the empty glass and shook it: "I understand, thank you for reminding me, I will be very careful!"

Larsen nodded and added a glass of fruit wine to Leon. Leon's modest attitude made him feel good.

As a bartender in a bar, he has come into contact with countless adventurers. He has reminded some newcomers before, but most of them are disapproving and ridiculed, because these adventurers are not weak on the mainland. a lot of.

As time passed, Larsen didn't bother to say anything more and concentrated on selling wine, and today was an exception.

"Also, if you go to the mercenary union, it's best to take a few simple tasks to do. The battle honors you get in the fortress union can be exchanged for the discount of using the teleportation array. As long as you have enough battle honors, you can return to the Glorious Continent. Save a lot of money."

As soon as Larsen opened the chatter box, he began to talk incessantly. When it comes to understanding the situation of the fortress, the old lion Gucci also sighed.

These experiences are also very beneficial to Leon.

Although it is possible to go to and from the sacred realm through the teleportation array, the cost of teleportation once is extremely high. The situation may be different when you come, but the price is exactly the same if you want to go back to the Glorious Continent through the teleportation array of the fortress.

Send [-] gold coins at a time, not including the gift package!

This price is absolutely black-hearted, but adventurers have no other way to go back.

Of course, the extra money earned by the garrison controlling the teleportation array was also spent on daily maintenance expenses. Some supplies had to be teleported from the Glorious Continent, and the cost was very high.

Therefore, many adventurers go bankrupt and come to the secret realm of the sanctuary. The lucky ones spend a few months to get back their capital, and the unlucky ones even get rich overnight, but more ordinary or unlucky ones may not make up for a few years. Enough to go back to travel expenses, but also to spend their lives in vain.

You know, apart from the cost of using the teleportation array, the food, clothing, housing and transportation in the fortress are usually very expensive.

"When I first came to the Sanctuary, I also imagined that I could find a lost relic and return home with its treasures..." Larsen said with a sigh: "But seeing the companions around me fall down one by one, I was afraid that I would die in the forest one day, so I worked as a bartender here."

"When I have enough money to go back, I will go back one day. This place is not suitable for everyone."

Hearing Larsen tell his own story, Leon couldn't help feeling a little bit sad. Compared to here, the Glory Continent is simply a paradise, at least the pressure of survival will not be so great.

After drinking seven or eight glasses of wine and eating a large plate of grilled Warcraft meat, Leon, who was full, said goodbye to Larsen and left Yemei Bar.

He doesn't plan to stay in the sanctuary for too long, and of course he can't waste time on leisure and enjoyment.

Following Larsen's suggestion, Leon first went to the adventurer's shop diagonally opposite the bar.

The Adventurer's Store is actually a collection station that specializes in recycling the trophies of adventurers. It belongs to the Garrison of the Fortress, and it is completely a monopoly operation. There is no second competitor at all.

The adventurer's store has a large area, guarded by four heavily armed garrison warriors, and seven or eight appraisers with rigid expressions are in charge of appraising bids. There are only a few adventurers who come here, and they leave immediately after selling the spoils.

In order to deceive others, Leon put the items he had looted from the goblin wizard in his luggage, and he simply handed them all to the shop's appraiser for valuation.

"Second-level magic core, quality, etc., estimated at fifty gold coins..."

Hearing the appraiser's rigid voice, Leon froze for a moment.
