Chapter 152 The abnormal foggy valley
After learning to use the team reward mechanism, Brandon finally understood.
He doesn't count as a winner if he wins alone.
Bring a companion to win more!
These 25 newcomers who just became Novin believers immediately became popular.
The selection of four seemed pleasing to the eye, and Brandon also formed a temporary team.
Although their common goal is to get to the altar of creation, they can easily kill some monsters along the way and earn more points and experience!
There is no shortage of monsters in the dark forest.
Following the "big border rat", there are also weird monsters such as "border snake" and "border toad" with deformed scales.
Because it is still outside the forest, the number of monsters is not that exaggerated. The number of monsters in the nests that can be found occasionally ranges from a dozen to dozens.
With the cooperation of everyone and a lot of effort, they can be eliminated.
In terms of loot.
The amount of valuable materials that can be found from monsters is not very large, if not counting the points and experience that Norwin rewards believers.
The most common monster bones mainly appear on ossified monsters, but they can't be counted by just breaking off a piece of bone from the corpse.
Only those skeletons that have benign deformations and can be purified to expel the evil spirit are considered qualified.
Peter and others knew nothing about distinguishing trophies. This was completely a blind spot in their knowledge.
Brandon knew a little bit, but he was just scratching the surface. He couldn't figure out how to actually tell the difference.
In the end, Brandon took the initiative to pray to Novan and spent points to redeem relevant knowledge, and then he had the ability to identify valuable loot.
After trekking and hunting in the forest for most of a day, I later discovered two small-scale nests, plus those lone monsters. After final calculation, the value was probably a little more than 1 gold coin.
It seems quite impressive, but the main contributions are made by Peter and Gale. After all, in the peripheral area dominated by level 0 and level 1 monsters, level 3 mages are already powerful beings.
If the gains from the two of them slaying monsters were removed, the actual number of loot would be significantly reduced.
What's more.
Traditional level 3 mages are constrained by spell slot restrictions, and the number of times they can cast spells per day is limited.
In this way, Peter and Gale can cast spells again after a period of rest and recovery after the battle, which greatly increases the upper limit of the team's combat power.
…
The distance of twenty-seven kilometers could be reached in less than a day if we were in the Kingdom of Reyak if we walked faster, but in a place with complex terrain and dangerous environment like the Dark Forest, it took Pet and the others three full days. Much time.
The good news is that there has been no attrition on this stretch.
This is mainly due to the timely treatment provided by Miranda.
Faced with the monsters that attack from time to time on the road, it is inevitable that someone will be injured. Other adventurer teams can only use bandages, herbal treatments and other temporary relief. The more luxurious one is to take magic potions and wait until they return to the kingdom to find a priest. treat.
Miranda has been very busy these days. Not only does she have to treat the wounds of her companions who were accidentally injured in the battle, but the new believers are generally sick. She also wants to use the second-level magic [Relieve Disease] on these people regularly. Make them feel better. Applying [Disease Relief] to 25 people in a row is enough to drain Miranda's mental energy, not to mention such an operation more than once.
When she arrived at the "Misty Valley", Miranda felt sluggish.
She had used magic too many times, and now she felt dizzy and couldn't lift her spirits at all. She urgently needed a quiet environment to rest.
However, in contrast to Miranda's sluggishness, the new believers are in a new state as if they are reborn!
The rewards obtained by destroying monsters along the way are enough for them to redeem the professional knowledge they want.
In order to master the knowledge as quickly as possible, many people simply stay up late to practice during the night break. At this moment, they are barely at the entry level of a first-level professional, and they are no longer ordinary people with almost no fighting ability.
As they went deeper into the dark forest, the monsters that attacked them already had Level 1 existences, and their attack power, defense power, and physical strength had all been improved.
It is also a bone monster.
The most dangerous thing about the level 0 border rat is the bone spurs on its body, but its other parts are only slightly stronger than ordinary rats, and its size has not become too exaggerated;
The level 1 ossified rat monster , there is no change in the bone spurs, but its size has directly expanded several times, and its size is comparable to that of a dog. When the attack hits the wound, it will spurt out full of smelly pus and blood, and it is more resistant to beatings. It can be inflicted with the strength of ordinary people. The attack becomes difficult to cause effective damage.
Just the five of them, Pett and the others, would definitely not be able to guard against the sneak attacks of monsters at all times and protect everyone, so attrition would probably be inevitable.
Fortunately, the new believers barely crossed the threshold of professionals and completed self-rescue.
As long as you can master a combat skill, magic, or divine skill, you can at least guarantee the ability to resist when faced with an attack!
…
When they arrived at the location known as the "Misty Valley", everyone was a little surprised.
Because when entering this area, the number and density of monsters suddenly began to decrease significantly.
There was no trace of the monsters at all on the outer edge of the nearest valley.
When traveling in the past few days, it was obvious that many level 1 monsters had appeared. This was also consistent with the situation outside the dark forest. The deeper you go, the higher the intensity of the monsters.
As a result, the situation here is quite abnormal.
The monsters seemed to be avoiding this valley on purpose!
There is another surprising thing.
They stayed in the dark forest for a few days. In the depressing environment, their mentality would inevitably be affected.
Although it's not to the point where I can't get a response from the gods, have phantoms in front of my eyes, or have auditory hallucinations in my ears.
But I still feel that my heart is heavy, as if my whole body has been pressed by a huge boulder, and I can't breathe.
As we approached the misty valley, this state gradually dissipated.
This is also unusual.
Peter thought about it and finally attributed the result to the blessing of God.
The God of Knowledge is an old god. He can exist for such a long time. He must have fought against evil gods for a long time. He must have more experience than the gods of the New Huili. So it should be okay if his followers have stronger resistance to pollution. question?
What's more, the Altar of Creation in the main mission was guided by the God of Knowledge to find it!
To be able to have a god, and a god from the old days, specifically give guidance for this, it means that there must be something special about this place!
Now they are about to uncover the secrets of this valley!
