Volume 19 Chapter 238 The First Altar

"Is there someone attacking?" I rode on Ye Ying's back and stopped in the middle of the road to look around, but after looking around I didn't see anything threatening.

Just as I was looking around for what was causing the crowd around me to panic, an alarm bell suddenly sounded in the city in front of me, which made me even more sure that there must be an enemy invasion in this place. But... just as I was looking around, Ye Ying suddenly moved half a step to the side, and then heard a whooshing sound, and an arrow passed directly through my side and inserted directly into the place where I was just standing. More than half a foot deep into the soil.

When I saw this arrow, I immediately realized that someone was attacking me. Following the direction of the arrow tail, I quickly discovered the location of the attacker. What surprised me was that the person who attacked me was not a monster or an intruder from somewhere, but a player standing on the wall.

When I looked at the player, the guy was setting a second arrow on his bow, but before he could set the arrow up, Ye Ying and I suddenly disappeared together. Just as he was looking around for the target in surprise, he suddenly found that he was covered by a huge shadow. He turned around with a little doubt, but was so surprised that he almost jumped off the city wall. It turned out that when he turned around, he found me half a step behind him.

"Why are you attacking me?" I asked first amid this guy's panic expression.

The guy was still surprised at first, but as soon as I finished asking, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and then he immediately squatted down and pulled out the dagger from his waist to stab me. However, as soon as he pulled out the dagger, he suddenly felt his shoulders sink, and then his whole body was directly pressed down.

I stood on the guy's back and looked around, and after confirming that he was the only one nearby trying to attack me, I walked away from him like a walk. The guy rolled to the side immediately after I got off him, and then quickly jumped up and planned to attack again, but this time he was greeted by Yeying's two hind hooves, and he was stepped on by Yeying and me. Completely two different things. Being stepped on by me was just a fall. After being kicked by Ye Ying, he disappeared from the city wall and flew all the way into the nearby woods.

Ignoring that inexplicable guy, I put away Ye Ying, turned around, and stepped down from the city wall. Since the city in front of us is only at the village level, the so-called city wall is actually just a few rows of wood and is only about four meters high. I took one step and landed lightly on the ground. After looking around, I realized that the people nearby were obviously hiding back, and it was only now that I realized that they seemed to be afraid of me.

I can't deal with these people's reactions at all. Anyway, there are not just these people in the village. If they react abnormally, just find a few normal ones.

The reason why those people panicked before was mainly because some people were scared crazy first, and then others just followed blindly. It was a group emotional explosion, and it actually had nothing to do with me. Besides, some people went crazy at that time because Yeying's speed and size were so shocking, and it really had nothing to do with me. After leaving the city gate and entering the city, the people here didn't know that I was riding Ye Ying wildly before, so these people's reaction to me was obviously much better. Many people who came out felt strange that I was wearing armor. Besides, no one is avoiding me anymore or coming up to fight with me.

"Sir, sir." I was walking on the main road in the center of the village when I suddenly heard a voice calling me from the side. After turning around, I realized it was a local player. This guy is very young, he looks to be in his teens. The leather armor and other equipment on his body indicate that he is a professional hunter. When the other party saw me stopping and turning to look at him, he immediately introduced himself with a smile: "Hello, my name is Su Lun, and I am a hunter. I am very familiar with the surrounding environment, and you are obviously from a foreign country. We The environment here may be very troublesome for you. If you are willing to hire me, I think I can provide you with comprehensive and thoughtful guidance and information services.”

Originally, my intention was to casually inquire about the existence of witches and gods in the city, but compared to asking random people, paid guides are obviously more reliable. Of course, the premise is that the charge is not too expensive.

"How do you charge?"

"I wonder if you need a guide or just want to inquire about something?"

"I want to find the Witch God. Do you think it's more appropriate to take me there directly, or is it more direct to tell me the location?"

The hunter named Su Lun thought for a moment and then asked: "I wonder if you have a specific goal and need to find a special witch god, or can you just find any witch god?"

"Anyone will do. However, I may need to meet more than one witch god. The specific number I need to meet is not yet certain."

"In this case, of course it is best to hire a guide. After all, you don't know how many wizard gods you will meet. We charge by the hour, and we charge twenty crystal coins per hour. If there is a fight during the journey, I will help, but who will take the loot? Whoever arrives will belong to him.”

"Your charging standards are quite expensive, aren't you? At twenty crystal coins an hour, you get more money than the executives of small companies."

"Of course this is different. If you just want to go to an ordinary place, then I may only charge two crystal coins per hour, but you want to find the Witch God, so we have to go through the advanced monster area, so that I can Die inside. If I drop the grade because of this, my losses will be huge, so there is nothing I can do about charging a higher fee."

I thought about it and said, "Okay then, just follow your rules."

"Well, should we set off now or prepare some supplies first? You know, we will suffer disaster if we go out without insect repellent fluid!"

"I have no use for that kind of thing, let's just leave."

"Since you said so, let's set off. But do you have any other equipment? Wearing such a suit of armor, even if you are not too hot, you will still encounter trouble when passing through some soft mud or swamps."

"You don't have to worry about any of this, just take me to the place."

"Okay, but this is your request. If you get into trouble because of this, don't blame me for not reminding you."

"Okay, let's go."

After my repeated urging, the guy signed an employment contract with me, and then we left the city limits together. It seems that they often hire guides here, because when we were leaving the city, this guy actually met several colleagues and said hello to each other.

"Do many of you hire guides here?" I asked as I followed the guy through the forest.

Su Lun said with a smile: "We are the closest city to China. Many players coming from China will need guides when they come to us. After all, you have also seen that our place is not like your place. Many places have no roads. .If you don’t have a guide, the probability of getting lost here is more than 90%.”

"No wonder there are so many people serving as guides at the city gate." After I finished speaking, I asked: "Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask before. How far is it from where the witch god lives?"

As soon as Su Lun heard what I said, he quickly explained: "I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me. I need to make this clear to you first. I'm just taking you to the altar of the Witch God, not to where he lives. We don't have one here at all. People know where the Witch God lives, so I can only take you to his altar. But the Witch God here is different from the gods in Buddhism. A Witch God will only have one altar, and it will not be built everywhere like Buddhist temples. yes."

I nodded and said: "It doesn't matter, just take me to the altar. Since the Witch God only has one altar, I think he should always pay attention to his own altar."

Su Lun nodded and said: "Probably so. Anyway, I have never seen the true form of the Witch God. By the way, I haven't asked the guest what your name is yet?"

"Purple sun."

I originally thought that as soon as I told my name, the other party would immediately realize who I was, but who knew that Su Lun only paused for a while after hearing my name, then shook his head and said, "It sounds familiar. I just can’t remember, maybe I had too many guests before!”

I was not disappointed at all that Su Lun didn't recognize me. On the contrary, I was quite happy. If he knew who I was, he might be able to cause trouble. After all, my status was different and it was unlikely that I would be treated as a simple tourist.

While leading me to the destination, Su Lun asked: "By the way, Ziri, why are you looking for the Witch God? Very few players in our country need to find the Witch God, even those warlocks. I occasionally visit the altar to worship, but I haven’t heard of anyone looking for the Witch God.”

Hearing his question, I didn't answer, but just smiled. After all, this was not Su Lun's first day as a guide, and he still had some ability to observe words and emotions. When he saw that I was just smiling, he immediately knew that I didn't want to talk anymore, so he stopped asking more questions and changed the topic to talk about my world. Speaking of tour guides, it seems that all tour guides are good at chatting, and Su Lun was no exception. He kept chattering along the way. Generally speaking, a tour guide like him will pay attention to the habits of his guests. If the guests like to chat, he will naturally talk endlessly. If the guests like to be quiet, he will pay attention to only saying necessary reminders and introductions and not talking to the guests. Something else. This can also be regarded as the professional quality of a tour guide.

According to Su Lun's introduction, what we are going to now is the altar of the Little Witch God. It is only about four or five kilometers away in a straight line from where we are now. However, the distance of four or five kilometers is indeed very short on the highway, but It's a different story in this virgin forest with almost no roads. Because there were many fallen trees, boulders, mud pits and the like along the way, our route kept twisting and turning. If Su Lun didn't really know the terrain nearby, I would have fainted by myself.

"Guest, you'd better take off your equipment before going over to this place." We were walking well, and Su Lun suddenly stopped in front of a large open space.

I looked at the open space in front of me in confusion. With my eyes, it seemed to be no different from where we were standing. Nothing is different at all, except that there are no big trees in this area.

This was probably not the first time that Su Lun met a guest like me, so he didn’t even explain. He turned around and found a stone as big as a human head from nearby and threw it forward. There was a sudden chirping sound in what seemed to be an open field covered with fallen leaves, and then half of the stone disappeared as soon as it hit the ground, and then the remaining half sank rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. In less than three seconds, the stone completely disappeared from the ground, leaving no trace behind.

Now I know that this is a big mud pit without any explanation. However, I didn’t plan to take off my equipment. Instead, I directly grabbed the belt behind Su Lun’s back and lifted him up. Then I rushed to the edge of the mud pit in two steps and met Su Lun’s panicked look. He jumped up at the sight.

Bang. Just when Su Lun was so frightened that he almost screamed, a pair of huge wings suddenly opened up, and after two vigorous flaps, we were already on the opposite side of the clearing. After folding my wings and landing firmly on the ground, I put Su Lun down, and then asked, "Any questions?"

Su Lun looked at me in surprise and said, "You actually have wings?"

"Didn't you see a race with wings when you created your account?"

"But the wings grown by those races such as angels or demons are just decorations. They can only be seen but cannot fly."

"My race originally had wings, but later I got a piece of equipment that gave the wings the ability to fly, and then I was able to fly."

Su Lun said enviously: "I wish I had wings. Although I can't open my wings in the woods, places with monsters are usually forest clearings. If I can fly, I will definitely be very powerful in battle."

"Don't think too wonderfully. Although these wings look cool when flying, they consume physical energy at least six times faster than running. If you had increased your physical strength when you first added points, you would have to fly within a few minutes. Get down when you're tired."

Su Lun immediately said: "Even if you can't fly for a long time, it can even be used as a bouncer to help you do a few extreme jumps occasionally. You know there are a lot of mud pits here. If you can jump farther, how much will you save? What's the matter?"

"Wing props are very rare and cannot be bought with money. You'd better stop dreaming. Tell me quickly what's next?"

"No need to leave." Su Lun reached back and pushed aside the branch in front of him and said, "That's it."

Unexpectedly, the altar was less than ten meters behind the mud pit. However, this place is more suitable to be described as a ruin than an altar. What I saw after passing through the barrier formed by those trees was a circular open space with a radius of seven or eight meters. There is a stone platform in the center of this clearing, but the surface of the platform is severely cracked, and grass has grown out of the middle. There are four crooked pillars piled up with stones on the platform. Although the height of the pillars is less than two meters in total, I always feel that they will fall down at any time.

In addition to the stone pillars, there is a pyramid-shaped pile of stones more than one meter high in the center of the stone platform. The stones that make up the stone platform are all extra-large pebbles, but the top of the stone platform is not a stone, but It was a pitch-black skull that seemed to be made of black crystal. The skull seemed to have a ruby ​​inlaid in the middle of its forehead, which looked quite alluring and evil.
