Chapter 226: Murloc in the desert, am I being treated as prey? ? (3400 words)
When he heard the system prompt, Richard's eyes lit up and he read it a few more times.
A place where rules are broken.
The legacy of the War of the Gods.
It is possible to get treasures that are not available on the main plane.
Looking up at the lakes floating in mid-air, I immediately became very interested.
Treasures are great, he likes treasures the most.
Waving his hands, he led the army forward.
The closer we get to those broken lakes, the more amazing we feel inside.
It can make countless broken lakes connected to the earth fly upside down into the sky and never fall.
This kind of power was completely beyond his knowledge.
Perhaps only the president of the Scarlet Council who took out the plane stone from the collapsing plane with his bare hands and gave it to him in the dungeon has such power.
It's a pity that the big boss only exists in the dungeon.
After the army approached to a distance of more than 20 meters, Richard floated off Alves' back.
Manipulating the gravel, he slowly arrived in front of the shield connecting heaven and earth.
He stretched out his right hand and touched the transparent shield.
Immediately I felt a resistance, like pressing on a spring. The harder I pressed, the greater the pressure.
Can't get in?
Richard frowned.
Looking at the mysterious map with instructions constantly coming from his hand, his heart suddenly moved.
Try touching the shield with the map.
All of a sudden.
The shield fluctuated like water waves, and he immediately penetrated it without any hindrance.
Relaxed.
Withdrawing his hand, he didn't rush to enter and silently opened the black gold system.
Sure enough, there are more detailed tips above.
"Discover a special area - a place where the rules are broken,
Level of broken regional rules: 2 stars
Threat Level: Medium
Special rules: Space magic cannot be used
Tip: Regional rules cannot be upgraded. ”
2 stars, moderately dangerous.
All of these were easy to say, but that special rule made him think deeply.
The inability to use space magic is related to the formation of the Space Pearl?
Looking up at the sky, those broken lakes flew about twenty meters above the ground.
With brute force alone, even the giant cannot carry it.
This can only be due to space rules.
Richard's interest became even higher.
The weirder the rules, the more special the hidden things must be.
This area is very similar to the Easter egg maps in other games. You might be able to pick up an artifact and a few dragon eggs.
He turned to look at the army behind him.
"The Ningsha Archers and the Ax of the Dead will come down immediately and build a defense line on the spot."
"Alves, take all the air force and return to the Twilight City as quickly as possible, and bring all the bandage mummies, scorpion warriors and all the troops above the rare level!"
After the order was given, the Dark Gargoyle immediately put down the two soldiers, and then followed Alves back to the Twilight City.
Flying at full speed, it took only two and a half hours to return to the Twilight City.
Then Alves immediately summoned his troops and mounted all the ground troops.
Even if it was a magic puppet with an exaggerated weight like the Heavy Sword Warrior, the Skeleton Blood Dragon was still there to transport them.
However, despite this, it took three full trips to bring all the troops to this place where the rules were broken.
Seeing this, Li Cha couldn't help but sigh with emotion. There was still a lack of transportation.
Relying solely on flying units for transportation is not efficient.
Fortunately, once the war situation becomes urgent, the main force may be used as carriages.
But what pleased him was that in about ten days, the sandworms would hatch.
Those giant beings that are hundreds of meters long may be able to change the current poor traffic situation in Twilight City.
At that time, a special carriage will be designed for the sandworm, and the giant beast with a body length of 100 meters can pull the carriage.
That movement is pretty cool when you think about it.
"When I get rich in the future, I will raise nine sandworms to pull my cart."
"Nine insects are pulling the cart, so who else is there?"
While Richard was thinking, he looked at the D-class cavalry hero——
"Baal, you lead the Great Ax Death Rider to guard here. If you encounter an enemy, contact me immediately with the Whisper Crystal."
He didn't want his way back to be blocked by others.
"Yes, Master."
"Gunt, you first lead five teams to Twilight City to explore the way. If you encounter danger, retreat immediately and don't hesitate to fight."
As a blood lich with a soul phylactery and the ability to resurrect, Gunter is a pathfinder.
After the order was given, Richard controlled the gravel and placed the mysterious map on the shield.
The army advanced smoothly.
After all the troops had passed, he took back the map.
It seemed like a door had been closed, the shield no longer impenetrable.
But what surprised Richard was that after entering the place where the rules were broken, the feeling in the map that guided him forward was still there.
The destination that the map directed him to was not this area, but a certain place in this area.
"Is it really a navigation?"
While thinking about it, Richard immediately adjusted his direction and directed the army towards the area guided by the mysterious map.
At the same time, the dark gargoyles were dispersed a very long distance, nipping any possible danger in the cradle.
I have to talk about the mystery of this place where the rules are broken.
He raised his head and looked at the Broken Lake floating above his head, which felt particularly visual impact.
Especially in those broken lakes, there are still fish surging, which makes it even more dreamy.
However, in this environment, the line of sight is greatly affected.
Not only are they affected by the broken lakes in the sky, but rocks of all sizes on the ground also become obstacles.
The only good news is that the cracks in the rocks are filled with gravel.
The army of Twilight City is still at its home ground.
For the sake of safety, Richard slowed down the marching speed of the army and tried to let the dark gargoyles explore every place first.
But under high alert, he was surprised to find that there were no enemies around him as he imagined, not even the sound of wind.
The surroundings were so silent that only the footsteps of the army marching forward and his own breathing were heard.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, an hour, two hours.
Richard could not explore how vast this land of chaotic rules was, and the surrounding environment remained unchanged.
The silence was too eerie.
Suddenly, he perked up.
Looking down suddenly, the mysterious map in his hand suddenly emitted a faint blue light.
And the feeling of guidance in my mind is getting closer and closer.
They are almost there.
But he did not relax and instead gave the order again.
"Everyone be on alert, we are coming soon!"
The slightly loose formation of the army immediately began to shrink, and alerted the surroundings in the most serious manner.
The dark gargoyles in the sky continued to probe their surroundings.
Take precautions to the extreme.
After traveling for another ten minutes, Gunter, who was exploring the road ahead, suddenly received a message through the Whisper Crystal.
He discovered a special area.
Richard looked at the map in his hand getting brighter and brighter, and felt a little calmer.
Finally found it.
Lead the army to that area as quickly as possible.
After marching for ten minutes, Richard suddenly stopped in his tracks.
An extremely spectacular scene appeared in front of him.
Hundreds of meters away, the surrounding broken lakes disappeared without a trace.
Instead, there was a huge river crossing the sky, and he seemed to be in the depths of the sea.
Looking up, you can see the deep blue of the river.
The river flies up to the sky.
And underneath the floating river, a transparent shield that was turned upside down like a bowl isolated the lake.
A huge arched area is formed in the middle.
The river above flows around the arch, creating a dazzling view.
But underneath the river, there were a lot of bloodstains and corpses.
Those corpses were all those of the two-headed ogre.
Judging from the traces of battle around him, it seemed that he had been dead for quite some time.
But what is surprising is that the corpses did not decay at all.
It was as if it had been frozen and preserved.
Richard's eyes became more serious.
His eyes followed the corpse to the central area.
The most special item in this area——
Twelve pieces of blue crystal with a diameter of more than three meters and the shape of a warrior's thick shield are suspended on the ground at half a person's height.
These twelve giant crystals rotate slowly in a clockwise direction.
Through the gaps between each other, one can see a hollow crystal ball the size of a human head, engraved with countless mysterious runes.
That crystal ball exudes a special aura.
Spatial fluctuations.
The power of space is surging.
That mysterious hollow core made Richard feel frightened.
Once the power within it explodes, it can wipe out the surrounding area for thousands of meters.
The energy contained in it is countless times more powerful than the magic crystal he found in the ancient ruins before, the core of the Arcane Hall of the Shining Mage Tower, and the magic crystal that Gunter had refined into a soul phylactery.
Looking carefully again, he suddenly discovered.
Outside the twelve huge crystals, there are hundreds of thumb-sized transparent crystals floating.
Pearl of space.
Richard's pupils shrank sharply.
This is the loot found on the Two-Headed Ogre.
Take a deep breath and suppress the throbbing in your heart.
Turning his head to look at other locations, he found no trace of life.
The air is still eerily quiet.
"Master."
After Gunter saw Richard, he immediately stepped forward to report.
"We find no enemies around here."
Richard nodded and set his sights on the special hollow crystal.
No enemies?
Can these treasures be obtained by him so easily?
He never takes any chances.
Rather than believing that you are the chosen one, it is better to believe in the sword in your hand.
His eyes turned cold.
"Army on alert! Prepare to fight!!"
After the order was issued, the surrounding troops immediately assumed an attack posture to prevent possible enemies.
Richard waved his hand, and the gravel on the ground condensed into a human figure.
Then it floated into the air, slowly approaching the hollow crystal ball that exuded space energy.
After entering the 10-meter range.
Richard, who was staring closely at the central area, suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at the twelve giant crystals.
Under the reflection of the crystal, countless dense black spots suddenly appeared in the sky and in the blue lake that was silent just now.
Like locusts passing through.
An unspeakable crisis surged into my heart.
His head jerked up.
In the lake above my head, I saw an uncountable number of people whose lower body was that of a fish and whose upper body was that of a human. Half-murlocs holding special bows and arrows and tridents appeared in sight.
These half-murloc monsters are not as beautiful as the legendary mermaids. Instead, they have ferocious faces and unspeakable viciousness and greed in their eyes.
Looking at them was like a hunter who went into the mountains to hunt and saw his prey.
Right now.
A figure with a crown on its head, a body 5 meters high, and many times stronger than other half-mermaids swam out from the half-mermaid.
The other half-mermaids immediately backed down, showing an extremely humble attitude in their eyes.
The half-murloc man wearing a crown appeared above Richard's head.
After looking around a few times through the lake water, its ferocious face became even more terrifying.
A shrill voice with anger penetrated the lake water.
"The despicable ogre only lured so few prey in!"
"I'm going to hang him in the water and let the piranhas eat his bones clean!"
The language of ancient fishmen.
The moment Richard heard this.
It felt a bit ridiculous for no reason.
Is this mysterious map a bait used by these half-murlocs to fish?
And the two-headed ogre that died on the ground was the result of biting the bait?
Was the two-headed ogre lord he killed enslaved by these half-murlocs and working for them?
And he is now regarded as prey by the other party? ! (End of chapter)
