1020 Lost

The tamed wild abyss camels knelt and sat on the outskirts of the camp, and the sound of chewing rye stalks could be clearly heard.

However, the area that can be illuminated by the bonfire lit in the center of the camp is very small, as if the environment here has the ability to absorb light, and can swallow all the 'light', making the darkness outside the camp become darker. Even more disturbing.

The journey to the front line has entered the eighth day. Although the scar had patted his chest two days ago and vowed that he would not go in the wrong direction, now even Raymond, who has never been here before, knows, There must be something wrong.

be lost……

It's ridiculous to think about it, but when the reality is in front of you, no one will laugh.

"Scar, if I want my old lady to find out that it was you who did it, I will kill you immediately. The rules of the clan have no restrictions on betrayers!"

The dark elf Freya's accusations and threats caused Scar to jump up like a wild cat with its tail trampled on, angrily pointing at her nose and growling. "I have already said it several times! This area is where the caravans that walk all the year round will get lost! Look around! If you want to find the right path, you have to rely on my eyes to judge! You are so good, you will lead the way !"

Scar, who had been refusing to respond to the dark elf Freya's provocation before, snarled so loudly that she was stunned for a moment before she realized that the right hand that was always in the sleeve was stretched out and grasped a wand-like Pointing at the scar, he roared angrily. "If I know the way, I still need you!"

Lei Meng, who was sitting in front of the bonfire holding the leather armor and still studying it, finally stopped it. "Everyone be safe! Rest early and get on the road tomorrow!" [

In the quiet environment, Lei Meng's voice was not high, but the dissatisfaction in it could be felt by the two of them.

The dark elf Freya, who gave the scar a fierce look, turned around and walked towards her tent, lifted the curtain and got in.

As for Scar, who folded his hands on his chest and looked triumphant as if he had won, he ran over with a bitter face after she left. He lowered his posture with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye. "Lord Raymond, it's really not intentional that you can't find your way. This area is a famous chaotic area. Even those caravans that travel between the striker and Pompeii all the year round will get lost..."

Raising his head and looking at Scar who was very disturbed, Raymond smiled after a while. "Go and rest..."

Scar, who was full of confusion and uneasiness, wanted to explain, but Raymond, who had lowered his head, ignored him. He struggled and hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed, Scar had no choice but to walk towards his tent sadly, and got in to prepare for it. rest.

You need to release your perception to be able to know everything in the camp, after making sure that Scar and Dark Elf Freya have rested. Raymond sighed, raised his head and turned his gaze to the darkness beyond the camp.

This vast plain without any vegetation is like a forbidden area for life.

The free energy is extremely thin, and those fluorescent plants have completely disappeared here, and although the soil under the feet looks fertile and moist, there are actually no insects that can live in it.

Intensive but extremely weird radiation. Everything here becomes disordered, the magnetic field normally used to judge the direction. There are no rules here. Just like there are countless magnets in the ground, Raymond himself couldn't locate them accurately three days ago.

Outside the area illuminated by the bonfire is the kind of darkness that is so dark that it can even swallow the sight, which makes people unconsciously fear and uneasy.

"The guy who pretends to be a ghost, patience is good..."

But Lei Meng, who was thinking so in his heart, couldn't help a sneer from the corner of his mouth, and then he lowered his head and continued to study the leather armor in his hand.

Similar to this leather armor rune armed. After days of research and insinuations on Scar and the dark elf Freya, he finally understood something.

As the most successful product of alchemy in the abyss world in the past ten years, these equipments that can increase magic resistance, increase defense strength, and even have some kind of magic attack effect are all developed by the Human Race Alliance. wide out.

It's like a product coming off a special assembly line. As long as any piece of equipment is mixed with a substance called 'blue gold powder', alchemists can manufacture it in large quantities, but this kind of equipment is not as good as Raymond imagined, because Its service life is quite short, and each person can only have one piece of equipment that can be activated. [

Moreover, this kind of equipment also has a fatal flaw. It is impossible to add specific effects when performing large-scale refining, and even if equipment with offensive magic effects can appear, it can at most reach the strength of level 4 spells. , it is equivalent to a special kind of magic weapon, and there are still great restrictions on its use.

He took off the dagger he bought in Pompeii from his waist, and after Raymond activated the dagger, a faint light of energy shone on the dagger, but the leather armor, which had a strong defensive ability before, suddenly The color becomes dull and quickly loses its original effect.

"It can be used for at most three years, and the effect of being activated will become weaker as time goes by, and even if everyone can equip one, it will not change the current war mode..."

After understanding the effect of this equipment, Lei Meng lost his previous interest in this equipment.

The battle between low-level wizards may be changed because of a piece of equipment of this strength, but according to what Scar said before, the amount of mined blue gold powder in the abyss world is currently in a rapidly decreasing stage. After 20 years, this kind of equipment will completely withdraw from the sight of the world due to the loss of raw materials.

After putting back the small and exquisite dagger, he threw the leather armor that was taken off Scar's body in front of Scar's tent.

Raymond, who did not return to his tent to rest, sat in front of the bonfire again, and wanted to enter meditation to continue studying the Phantom Ritual, but the faint smell mixed in the wind blowing suddenly from the side aroused Raymond's vigilance .

The perception that spread rapidly began to advance along the direction of the breeze, but the dark environment outside the camp and the disturbance of the geomagnetic field made Raymond's perception detection lose its effect a thousand meters away.

Frowning, Raymond re-manipulated his perception and changed his direction to search, but there was nothing unusual on the dead plain, and the faint scent that floated over with the breeze before seemed to be just an illusion of his. , can no longer be felt.

It's just that a cold Raymond flashed in his eyes, but after taking back his perception, he took out a palm-sized thing that looked like a compass from the storage ring, and condensed a cloud of clear water, which was dumped on the ground. above the compass.

There are hundreds of scales and three pointers of different lengths on the compass, but there is a slight change as the clear water covers it, and Lei Meng, whose expression has become serious, after infiltrating his spiritual power, he closes his eyes and starts A careful feeling.

The seemingly ordinary compass produced weak energy fluctuations with the infusion of Raymond's spiritual power.

The clear water in hundreds of scale-like grooves began to boil, but after the water vapor evaporated, a hemispherical water film was formed above the compass.

As if within a water film with a shielding effect, the rising water vapor quickly became thicker, but the three pointers on the compass turned like crazy, and faintly reflected the pointer projection on the hemisphere. shaped water film.

Such a phenomenon has passed for a long time but there is still no change. Lei Meng, who frowned slightly, is a little impatient. "Willard said that this magic weapon is quite good. After being fully activated, it can detect the existence of all signs of life within a range of 10,000 meters, but why is it like this now? It's hard to say that there is something wrong with the way I activated it. ..."

Raymond, who was a little confused, fell into deep thought, but the breeze that was still blowing through the entire camp had completely disappeared in vain... (to be continued...)
