Ryan's Sword

Chapter 189 Act Nine Promotion (IV)

Heading north from the crowded main road, Ian quickly passed by stretches of wheat fields.When he walked through the ridge all the way through the field, he stepped into a slightly undulating hilly area.

This undulating low slope is covered with lush natural vegetation, and the number of trees gradually increases to form a grove that can be seen through at a glance.However, the original freshness and elegance of this pleasant natural environment are destroyed by the scattered rocks everywhere and the ruined walls extending deeper. If someone can look down from above, they can also see the chaos of broken and collapsed tombstones in the deeper depths. Arranged scenes.In this way, even the shade of the trees seems to make people shudder.

This is a ruined cemetery that has been abandoned for a long time.It is said that in the early years, this place used to be the fiefdom of a knight of honor, but because he had no heirs, this originally prosperous knight's manor slowly declined.

Later, this desolate territory gradually turned into a land of no owner. During times of war, nearby farmers and residents used the dilapidated manor as a mass grave and buried the bodies of the war dead in batches. .

If only this is the case, this ordinary wild cemetery may be a little more gloomy than other places, and it will not attract too much attention.But at this moment, Ian is not the only one walking alone in this wasteland that should have been inaccessible.Apart from him, there are many adventurers in groups of three or four who also walked there along the surrounding trails.

Whether it is the aborigines or the players, the people who make up the group of adventurers are undoubtedly the type of "no profit, no early life". So many people are heading towards the unknown ruins and cemetery ahead at the same time, which shows that there must be enough people there. Attractive venture payoffs.

In fact, this unremarkable ruined cemetery in the game is a natural refreshment point for undead monsters.Its formation may be related to the cemetery, but the main reason is that it fits a "dead world" space node.

Like the shadow plane, the dead world is also a root plane attached to the existence of the main world.The difference is that the Shadow Plane is always themed with black in various shades, and only creatures who have awakened the elements of shadow are welcome; while the Dead Realm is more like a dead material world, which also has a gray sky. The land formed by the desertification of endless corpses, and a river of Styx that flows from the end of time and space to the endless abyss.

The dead world exists according to the laws of death and souls. Since the death of the first life in the azure world, it has been meticulously running silently, accepting all the scattered souls.It is conceivable that how many souls of the dead have been carried by the dead world for hundreds of millions of years, just thinking about it is enough to make one's scalp tingle.

But everything has two sides, and the dead world is also the favorite place of necromancers.The dream of those guys who are best at making wind and rain is to be able to go to the dead world to build a mage tower of their own.To date, however, no necromancer of renown has been able to achieve such a feat.

This dead world node near Lewisburg is completely of a naturally formed type. Due to its remote location and the inherent instability of the space node, although it has gradually evolved into a blessed land of undead monsters, it has never been able to reach the near The point where Louisburg poses a threat within easy reach.

The city lords over the years have also united with the Temple of Light many times to deal with the undead monsters wandering in this area, but these things are like leeks in the field, and new ones will grow soon after being cut.No matter how much the clergymen purify it, the breath of the dead world infiltrating into the main world can always restore this place to an environment full of energy, plus the occasional undead monsters who smuggle here from the dead world through space nodes, making their people Ding can always become prosperous.

Fortunately, the dead area connected to this ruined cemetery may also be a corner. Even if there are undead monsters who are lucky enough to survive the space storm and come here, their own strength will drop sharply to the point of the iron level.And this group of brain-damaged people who don't even have the ability to think and instinctively yearn for the breath of the dead world-in fact, apart from zombies, many skeleton-type undead monsters don't even have brains-so they can only linger here forever, As long as there are no creatures around, it won't even be considered a basic hazard.

Over time, the officials packaged up this benign tumor-like area to the Adventurer's Guild, encouraging adventurers to go here in the form of bounty missions to exterminate those inexhaustible undead monsters.At the same time, the soul crystals left by these undead monsters and the surrounding vegetation minerals derived from the infection of the dead world are also popular in the alchemy market, which makes this area gradually become a place for adventurers. In the back garden, even if you didn't grab the official bounty mission, there are still a large number of adventurers who came to take risks spontaneously.

Of course, the premise is that you have the ability to destroy those undead monsters, and at least one or two methods that can restrain the undead.Otherwise, just the low-level ghosts floating around would be enough to drink a pot for those ignorant stunned young people.

Walking up a hilly slope along the upward terrain, a piece of manor ruins that seemed to be located in the center of the basin appeared in front of Ian.A large area of ​​houses and the ruins of the fort are connected together, together with yellow weeds and vines covering the stone walls, it seems to form a large desolate and gloomy labyrinth, quietly waiting for the arrival of explorers.

Just looking at the scale of this labyrinth, Ian can fully imagine how prosperous this manor was when its owner was alive. However, with the passage of time, it has become a paradise for insects and dead spirits.Around him at this time, many adventurers also climbed up the high slopes outside the ruined cemetery from all directions. Some skilled teams went all the way down, plunged into the gloomy maze of ruins, and many came back to take risks. Like Ian, the novice stopped to look down, and even some timid people began to turn pale before they really got close.

At this moment, a three-person adventure team passing by Ian suddenly stopped, and they couldn't help but pause when their eyes swept over Ian.Ian's calm demeanor and solitary state can be said to be quite eye-catching. You must know that any adventurer who comes to this ruined cemetery will at least find one or two companions to go with him.Without one or two partners who can watch and help each other, it is undoubtedly a thankless task to challenge this ruined cemetery with dense negative energy alone.

Although according to the official definition, this ruined cemetery is not even as dangerous as the area deep in the forest where monsters appear, but this is a territory that belongs to death after all.

Seeing that Ian had no companions, the three passing adventurers were startled, and then one of them excitedly approached. "Hey, buddy! Alone?" He patted Ian on the shoulder very familiarly, and said, "You are here for the first time. Do you want to join our team? You are all veterans, but some members are temporarily busy. There is still a lack of an attacker... Wait, why don't you have any fluctuations in your fighting spirit?" As he said this, the warrior of the iron rank frowned as if he had eaten a fly, and retreated faster than when he came. went back.

"Unlucky, it's actually a baijie who doesn't know how to live or die. Let's go, it's a waste of our time!"
