Chapter 31 Difficult Choice
Not long after that, the ratmen were driven out of the ruins again by the dwarves. The dwarves used detonators to blow up the tunnels they dug and completely blocked the area. They wanted to kill all the ratmen. Impossible. The dwarves who have been fighting against the rat men for hundreds of years know very well that these rats have dug holes under almost the entire continent. Unless the world is destroyed, it is basically just a daydream to completely eliminate them.
But for them, that's enough.
"Great job, big guy!!"
Bullock was carrying an ax stained with rat-man flesh in one hand, and beating Duanmuhuai's calf with the other. The dwarf was not tall to begin with, and with Duanmuhuai's height of 2.5 meters, Bullock was as tall as a little one in front of Duanmuhuai. It's about the size of a dog and can even hit your knees when it jumps.
"I didn't expect you to be so capable!"
Bullock was indeed happy. In fact, at first he just wanted Duanmuhuai to help them share the pressure. After all, this big man wearing heavy armor and carrying a war hammer was not an easy character to deal with at first glance. As long as he attracts the rat man's attention, his side will be smoother.
But Bullock didn't expect that Duanmu Huai would charge directly forward, resisting the rat men's most violent attacks and firmly attracting their attention. This allowed the dwarves to flex their muscles. It can be said that Duanmu Huai played the most important role in repelling the rat army so easily this time.
Not to mention…………
"You actually killed the hero of those stinky rats!"
"Hero?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment. During the battle, he did receive a system prompt that 1,500 experience points were credited to his account, but Duanmu Huai was busy playing whack-a-mole at the time and had no time to read. At this moment, I was confused when I heard Bullock talk about it. Bullock laughed loudly, then waved, and soon he saw a dwarf walking over carrying a rat-man head.
"That's it! Death Master Snitch! I never thought it would die in your hands, hahahahaha!!!"
As he spoke, Bullock couldn't help laughing again. Death Master Snitch is a powerful assassin among the ratmen who is proficient in assassination. Brock has fought against it several times, but failed every time. The reason is also very simple, that is, the master rat assassin is too strong, and even the dwarf's armor is completely unable to protect against its three poisonous blades. However, this time, this guy was actually killed by Duanmuhuai. At this moment, Bullock felt as comfortable as if he had taken a big gulp of fire wine.
Now that Snitch is dead, it's time for those stinky rats living under the gray mountains to get out!
"This is not my fault, Ogis killed it."
After hearing Bullock's introduction, Duanmuhuai finally understood why the mouse was so resistant to beatings, and he didn't even knock it over with a hammer. Even if the opponent is a flexible assassin, the hero unit is probably above level 35. He was only level 21, and even with the thunder hammer's attack power, he couldn't kill it with one hammer.
But fortunately, with Ogis raiding the formation next to him, he accidentally got rid of a major problem - the rat men not only like poisoning, but also like assassination. Duanmuhuai didn't want to be worried about by a master assassin all day long. It would be better if it died now.
"Well, that is also the credit of the two of you. I will report this matter to the Supreme King! He will definitely be very satisfied!"
Judging from Bullock's appearance, it was obvious that he had a deep grudge against this master assassin... Well, Duanmu Huai remembered that the High King of the Dwarves seemed to have a small notebook specifically for remembering the names of his enemies. He would cross out the names of his enemies as soon as he killed them. I wonder if this master assassin is in the high king's vengeful notebook.
"From now on, you are friends of the dwarves! We are always very generous to our friends! What do you want? Say whatever you want!!"
Hearing Bullock's words, Duanmuhuai's eyes lit up, and then he stared at Bullock.
"Mr. Bullock."
"Just call me Brock. We all fought together and killed the Ratmen. We are brothers! Stop those vain people!"
"Okay, Brock...are you going to explore the ruins next?"
"Hmm..."
Hearing this, Bullock paused, then looked around and nodded.
"I have this plan, and I also want to see if the group of rat men left any junk here, and I have to clean it up."
"Then can you let me take a look in the ruins and find something interesting?"
"Oh?"
Bullock was a little surprised by Duanmu Huai's request, but he thought about it and nodded. "No problem! Take whatever you like, we dwarves are never stingy!"
"Thank you then."
Hearing Bullock's answer, Duanmuhuai breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason why he made this request was not because he was obsessed with archeology. On the contrary, compared to the dwarf who was still unclear about the situation here, Duanmu Huai could tell at a glance that the ruins in front of him were most likely the ruins of the ancient saint. !
The so-called Ancient Saint is the creator of ancient times on this planet. It is said that he created humans, elves, dwarves and other races. And this is indeed the case, except that the Ancient Sage is not a creator, but an extraterrestrial civilization with a very advanced technological level. Legend has it that these ancient saints look like frogs. They possess unimaginable technological and magical power, and are the pinnacle of both magic and physics.
These ancient saints came to this world to create species that could fight against subspace evil and chaos, and elves, dwarves, etc. were also created for this reason.
But something went wrong later. The portal created by the Ancient Saint in this world collapsed, and chaos poured in. When the Ancient Sage saw that something was not going well, he immediately abandoned the experimental site and ran away without even lifting his pants. His speed was not much slower than that of a third party who was caught and raped by her husband in bed.
After that, Chaos invaded the world on a large scale, and the entire planet was in danger. However, in the end, the remaining races in the world joined forces to overthrow Chaos, and used the "Maelstrom" to completely seal off the entire subspace, which saved the planet.
These are the histories that players will discover during archeology in the future. After that, the Ancient Saint never appeared again. Even though the game has been updated several times since then, players have not found any clues about the ancient saints. At that time, some players wondered whether these guys were hiding in some corner of the universe, or maybe they failed to escape in the first place and were killed by Ya. The space evil god has been served in one pot.
Or maybe the production company simply dug a hole but didn't fill it and forgot about it.
All in all, although the Ancient Saints ran away, many of their technological relics still remain in the ruins of this world, including even a complete technological tree evolution route!
After all, the Ancient Saints have been fighting Chaos for who knows how many years and have skilled experience in fighting Chaos. Therefore, their technology is quite effective in facing the evil gods of subspace and the erosion of Chaos. Its strength is basically rated at T1 level by players on the ladder list, and a few technologies can even be rated as T0.
The best way to obtain these technologies is to search for the technological relics of the Ancient Saints in the ruins, then take them to the [Inquisition Library] for analysis, and then build them.
Before Duanmu Huai traveled through, he did know that there were several places where ancient sage technological relics existed, but at that time, these places were fought over by large guilds, and he, a solo player, could not afford or use them. Moreover, all the places Duanmu Huai knew were in Cathay. As for whether there were any technological relics in the ancient sage ruins in the gray mountains, he couldn't say for sure.
But... you won't know if you look for it?
With Bullock's permission, Duanmuhuai felt relieved and started walking around the ruins. He also knows a lot about the ancient saints' ruins. After all, most of the ancient saints' ruins are very similar. It's like a modern person traveling into a radioactive wasteland and almost knowing what each building is for at a glance.
But before that... Duanmu Huai opened the system and quickly settled the task.
[The time-limited mission "Disinfection" is completed! 】
[Task evaluation: quite outstanding]
[The player gains 3000 experience, an additional 2000 experience, the level is upgraded to LV22, attribute points +1, specialization points +1]
[Acquire additional expertise (pursuing and fighting)]
[Pursuit: +5% critical hit chance and +15% critical hit power when attacking an enemy suffering from debuff effects]
How to say it…………
After adding attribute values to strength again and raising the level of space warrior combat training, Duanmu Huai felt a little complicated when looking at the effect of the extra expertise in front of him.
In fact, he can use this expertise now. To put it simply - take off the helmet, and then fight the enemy. His LV2... No, now he is LV3. Deterrence is enough to DEBUFF the opponent, and then it can continue. [Pursuit] effect.
But.........In this case, do you still want this face?
Do you want face or strength? This is a question...
For Duanmu Huai, this is really a difficult choice.
