Chapter 21 Good Girl

What appeared in front of everyone was a castle in the mountains. /m/

The castle is located within the mountainside, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only one side protrudes. It looks like it was directly excavated from the mountain, which is quite similar to the Castle of Helm's Deep in the second part of the Lord of the Rings.

Compared with Helm's Deep, the castle in front of me is smaller. Perhaps because of the years, the castle has become dilapidated and has become a habitat for the beasts in the valley.

Everywhere in the castle, especially at the foot of the city wall, there are countless bones and remains piled up.

Most of these bones belonged to ferocious beasts, and a small amount belonged to humans.

The once flesh and blood became the best source of nutrients for the land. In front of the castle, large expanses of beautiful flowers bloomed on the land, coexisting with the dilapidated, magnificent, and majestic castle.

The few surviving [immortal] valley beasts seem to be planning to rely on the castle to continue fighting, but unfortunately they neither know how to use the terrain nor use the defense equipment - in the center above the castle, a huge monster can be vaguely seen The wooden frame of the bed crossbow had completely rotted away, only the tip of the crossbow was still shining with a sharp cold light.

What is really amazing is that the entire castle is made of steel, a real steel castle.

"Here..." Hong Lang scratched his head and said in surprise, "What's going on here? Why is there a castle here?"

"Could it be the arrangement of the wilderness itself?" Gentle asked.

King Kong shook his head: "Not quite."

"Is that..."

"It was built by adventurers." Shen Yi said suddenly: "There is no doubt that someone walked in front of us. They not only came to the deepest part of the Alien Beast Valley, but also built a huge castle here that can be used to resist .”

Rourou immediately said: "I don't understand what's the point of this. The wilderness is just a place for us to explore. Building a castle is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it's not good for us. Our main battle location is still in the mission world."

Shen Yi asked back: "What if it was before the Bloody City existed?"

Everyone was stunned at the same time: "You mean..."

Shen Yi said leisurely: "We all know that the wilderness existed before the city, and it has experienced a long period of changes.

In the beginning, there was no city here, only the wilderness... At that time, a castle with strong defensive capabilities may be more meaningful than anything else..."

His eyes fell on the pile of bones under the city wall, and he suddenly imagined tragic pictures in his mind. In the picture, countless ferocious beasts roar and rush towards the castle, while the guardians in the castle fight desperately.

How many battles did they hold?

Shen Yi didn't know.

But he knew that the final outcome of the battle was undoubtedly tragic and heroic.

The castle fell, the defenders died, and it finally became a paradise for strange beasts.

In the changing time, the ferocious beasts are entrenched here, forbidding any adventurers to set foot here again, eventually turning this place into a secret place...

Until one day, someone rushed here with great strength, without hesitating casualties, and finally unveiled the mysterious veil deep in the valley.

Everyone is still amazed, Shen Yi has already stepped forward: "If you want to know more, you have to go in and have a look. Yi Yu, Hong Lang, you lead the troops to clean up the beasts here, King Kong is in charge of supporting, gentle, you and I Go in and have a look, hope to find something good."

"Happy to obey." She said with a gentle smile.

Walking along the flower path, Shen Yi and Wen Wen came to the gate of the castle.

The gate has long been decayed and can be passed through all the way.

After entering the castle, you can still see the bones lined up everywhere. Due to the long-term occupancy of the beasts, these bones were messed up during the activities of the beasts, leaving only scattered bones.

However, the traces of knives and axes on the city wall once again recorded the fierceness of the battles. One of the city walls has even collapsed, and perhaps the previous breakthrough was located here.

In the center of the castle is a small light field flanked by stone-paved stairs leading to the central tower.

Shen Yi stood in the small light field and looked to both sides, muttering to himself: "Typical medieval castle style architecture, but without any carvings. The builders of the castle are very pragmatic. To them, this castle The significance of these is to survive, not to pursue art...although some of them do have extraordinary artistic attainments...this is not a Chinese work."

The extraordinary artistic attainment he mentioned means that the structure of the castle itself is a kind of art. Its overall atmosphere is thick, it has strong resistance, and it does not lose the artistic appreciation in appearance. Even without adding any artistic buildings, it still shows the extraordinary architectural level of the builders.

However, this is what puzzled Shen Yi and Wen Wen—what on earth made a group of adventurers insist on building such a castle in this natural jedi?

What is it that makes so many fierce beasts attack here one after another?

Judging from the shocking battle traces throughout the castle, the battles that took place here were far more tragic than imagined. There are battles taking place in almost every corner, and the blood even dyes the land red. Even after decades of fierce beasts entrenched, there are still many bones everywhere...

How many people, how many lives, were buried here?

This may be a mystery that will never be solved.

At that moment, he looked towards the tall central tower at the center of the castle.

Perhaps there, can bring him some answers.

———————————————————

"Hey! It's finally here!" Fatty shouted excitedly.

After running all the way, he was out of breath, and the fat man was almost exhausted.

Not only him, but even Hu Po, Tang Zhou and others heaved a long sigh of relief.

These days, they run really hard enough.

It's just that after coming to the Ant Hill at this moment, the scene in front of everyone's eyes still makes everyone's heart tremble.

Looking around, the hills are full of ant bones, like black sand covering the ground.

The blood stained the land red, and it may not be long before the Ant Hills will be renamed the Red Soil Highlands.

How did the ant hills, which once made people's eyes turn sour, become like this? Everyone couldn't believe their eyes.

Only the fat man was complacent, as if all this had happened in his expectation - and it was indeed the case.

But even so, seeing the endless ant corpses, the fat man couldn't help but shiver. Captain, how many ant nests did they drop?

After this battle, a new corridor of life has been opened again virtually, and it is much more convenient for adventurers in the three districts to come here to hunt wild food.

"This... who did this? The adventurers in the third district?" Tang Zhou asked in a voice.

What he is most afraid of is that the adventurers of the third difficulty will join forces again to open up the corridor of life. If that is the case, it means that adventurers from high areas may appear in this area at any time to ambush them. It's even more dangerous than the Prisoner.

Fatty really wanted to tell Tang Zhou not to worry, it wasn't done by people from the third district, but at that moment he suddenly thought of what Shen Yi said: When necessary, leave some mystery to your team members, and seize every opportunity to establish majesty .

So at that moment, his mind suddenly changed, and he decided not to talk about it for the time being, but went directly to the hills.

He first pretended to observe, and then said: "This is not done by adventurers with difficulty three."

"How do you know?" Amber asked.

The fat man chuckled, pointed to the wilderness in front of him and said, "Look, if adventurers with difficulty three are opening up life corridors, then they don't need to expand the fighting area to such a large size. Since it's a corridor, it should be a straight line , The targets that adventurers with difficulty 3 have to deal with are only the fierce beasts in this straight line, there is no need to provoke creatures outside the straight line and bring unnecessary battles."

He paused for a while, seeing that everyone was paying attention to what he said, so he continued: "Look, there are at least seven or eight large ant nests in this area, and the entire battle surface is square instead of straight. What does this mean? This It shows that the people who clean up this area mainly focus on fighting, not opening corridors. It’s just that during the battle, these people opened the road to the third difficulty area by the way. I think this is also for convenience They go straight across the three districts."

"You mean people from the second district did it?" Amber couldn't believe her ears.

On the contrary, Tangzhou and Tadun looked at each other, and were even more shocked by Fatty's "knowledge of things". Originally, I saw the fat man's pig face, but I didn't expect this guy to be so amazing in terms of observation.

They don't know that there is a term in this world called "reverse deduction". On the basis of knowing all the conditions, everyone can do it after the fact.

On the other hand, Fatty enjoyed the way Tangzhou Tadun and the others looked at him very much at this moment, he was very sure and continued to pretend shamelessly, "That's right, it can only be done by people from the second district."

"But how can the adventurers in the second district have the strength to sweep the ant hills?" Du Zhiyun absolutely did not believe that there is such a powerful existence in the city.

Then Tang Zhou said: "If there are enough people, maybe it's still possible."

The fat man shook his head immediately: "There won't be many people, at most six or seven."

"Huh?" Everyone lost their voices.

Ta Dun scratched his head puzzledly: "How can you be sure?"

The fat man was stunned, yes, how did I know?

He thought for a while, turning his eyeballs to make him think of a reason, so he coughed and said, "Of course I looked at the corpses. Look at the corpses of these ants. Judging from the corpses, most of the damage they suffered It was artillery and bullet attacks, with a small amount of melee damage. From the traces of the damage, it can be seen that these attacks almost belonged to a limited number of people. If hundreds of people joined forces, then these corpses should have more scars and death methods .”

As for how to analyze the "traces of injury to identify a limited number of people", the old man will not talk about it, you can understand it yourself.

But what he said now made everyone feel reasonable.

Tower Shield was the first to rush up, pointing to an ant corpse and said: "This is the welt. Judging from the depth of the welt, the strength attribute of the adventurer is quite high. And this one, this one, these are all The welt marks are roughly the same in depth and should be made by the same person."

Tang Zhou was also looking at a group of ant corpses next to him: "This is another adventurer's attack. It used a sword and it was almost cut in two. Judging from the corpses, the melee weapons used to kill these ants include axes, knives, swords, There are four kinds of whips. The sword is the most powerful, almost all the wounds with the knife have freezing damage, and the strength of the ax is also very strong, but why do the ant corpses have both ax wounds and sword wounds at the same time? "

Fatty Interface: "Why can't the battle ax and the sword be used by the same adventurer?"

Tang Zhou suddenly realized: "That's right, why didn't I think of that."

In fact, it's not that he didn't expect it, it's just that in the second difficulty, there are too few people who can afford to use two high-level weapons at the same time.

Then Tang Zhou looked at Fatty in surprise: "Aren't there only two or three adventurers in close combat?"

The fat man spread his hands: "So I say six or seven at most."

"It's impossible." Amber exclaimed, "Even if it's an adventurer with difficulty three, it's impossible to sweep such a large area with just a few people."

"That may be because they have something else." The fat man pointed to a wreckage in the distance.

The Tower Shield Tiger rushed over, took a closer look, and shouted, "It's the T800 Terminator!"

As he said that, he stood up, searched repeatedly, and suddenly pointed to the distance: "There is another one here, it is a broken mecha! The other party also has mecha soldiers!"

Searching along the way, Tower Shield found more than a dozen T800 wreckage and discarded mecha shells.

Seeing all this, Amber Tangzhou looked at each other in blank dismay.

There are nearly 30 abandoned terminators and mechs alone, and it is conceivable that there must be more terminators in the hands of this group of people.

But a T800 Terminator is a double D class, what kind of team can have such a huge team and sweep the wilderness here.

And what kind of huge gains did they get here?

Seeing the stunned faces of the four people in front of him, the fat man's wretched mind was suddenly greatly satisfied at this moment.

He patted everyone on the shoulder and said: "Now you know that there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky, right? But don't be discouraged, we will all have opportunities in the future. Now, let's continue to go to the goal point."

All the way ahead, the fat man was complacent.

Finally got these guys under control.

But at that moment, Hu Po from behind suddenly caught up and whispered: "There is a problem that you haven't explained to me yet."

"What?" The fat man, whose neck was a little itchy from the breath of Amber's breath, couldn't react at once.

Amber smiled slyly: "I remember you said that when we arrived at the Ant Hill, this place was no longer a threat. At that time, how did you know? Did you already know that there was a team coming to clean this place?"

The fat man immediately lost his mind.

Damn it! How could I forget about this?

If you brag a lot, there will always be a day when you will be punctured.

He looked at Amber, who put her index finger to her lips and hissed: "You don't need to explain, let alone explain with lies. Don't worry, I won't tell them."

Blinking at Fatty, Amber stepped back, obviously, she decided to maintain Fatty's leadership position.

What a nice girl.

A warm feeling rose in Fatty's heart, and his mind became more and more active.

How can I take you down?
