Chapter 250 Border Separation Zone

Of course I know that the mission level the other party mentioned must be difficult. After all, the other party is willing to give up a set of Holy Spirit-level equipment and a large amount of money for this level. However, my goal is not money, so Holy Spirit equipment and the like are not at all in my consideration. within the range. What I want is the parasite contained in the injection on that guy's body, and of course this kind of thing cannot be easily obtained. After all, the parasite is mostly without anti-installation. Therefore, I need his cooperation to help me walk the path of truth.

The Door of Truth in our guild is a special equipment similar to the advanced wishing technique. As long as you stand in front of the door and make a wish, a corresponding task copy will be generated behind the door. As long as you successfully conquer the copy, your wish can be fulfilled. . This function can be said to be quite awesome. Although what we give and what we get are essentially one-to-one correspondence, in reality, what we pay and what we get are often not corresponding. We often pay more. In return, because what you do cannot always be correct. When your method or process is wrong, in the end it will be wasted effort or a lot of extra work. In addition, interference from external factors will also affect the ratio of your contribution to your return. But none of this is a problem at the Gate of Truth. The tasks generated by the Gate of Truth correspond to your wishes, so your direction is always correct. As long as you can get to the end, you will be rewarded.

Of course, the possibility of mission failure also exists, and the failure rate is not low, but this is based on your wishes. Making a wish that is impossible in the first place makes the task so difficult that it is completely impossible to complete. Therefore, generally speaking, the Gate of Truth is a relatively reliable existence.

Actually in theory. Even if I don't bribe this guy, and stand directly in front of the Gate of Truth and say I want that injection, the Gate of Truth will generate a task to actually prepare an injection for me, but the problem is that the corresponding task for this kind of thing out of nothing is absolutely It was so scary that even I didn't dare to try it easily, so I finally chose to bribe this guy. After that, my wish could change from getting a tube of injection out of thin air to getting a method or tool for the reverse parasitic process. And such a wish will obviously be much less difficult. Even if I want to further reduce the difficulty, I can also specify a one-time extraction tool. This simplifies the required items. The difficulty of the task will then decrease.

After the other party reached a cooperation agreement with me, I explained the cooperation method to him. First, the two of us signed a system guarantee agreement. According to the agreement, we must first find a way to return to Essinger, and then I will find a way to obtain the parasite from him, but it cannot affect the function of the parasitic part of his body. During this entire process, neither of us is allowed to disclose the content of our cooperation to the outside world. And I cannot reveal the source of the parasite after the agreement is completed. The entire agreement is valid for only three days. After three days if I can't extract the parasite. The other party is still deemed to have completed the agreement.

Because the agreement was written in great detail, the other party signed it readily after reading it. I smiled, shook hands with him and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you."

The other party shook my hand with obvious awkwardness, and then asked: "You only have three days. Can you go back in time?"

"Of course, who do you think I am?" After I finished speaking, I directly confirmed the direction, then put away most of the magic pets and summoned the birds. "Come on, you should know this, right? With him here, even flying directly back to China will only take seven or eight hours, not to mention we only need to fly to Egypt."

"Your guild also has a base in Egypt?"

"It's not a secret. Our city has a teleportation channel. Many tourist players teleport there from Essinger, and then visit the pyramids in Egypt."

"You Frost Rose Alliance are so exaggerated!"

"Is this an exaggeration? You have never seen the truly exaggerated aspects of our guild. Okay, come up first, and if you go slower you can see the special monsters here."

Bear Claw asked while climbing on the bird: "What kind of monster is it?"

"That's it." I said and pointed forward, and Bear Claw saw a huge creature not far ahead that was constantly jumping out and drilling into the gravel and quickly approaching us. "Demonized Nereid, a level 750 demonized creature, is not very powerful in combat, but its abilities are disgusting, and there are so many of them. But this is not the point. The point is that there is a certain chance of lord-level creatures being born among these guys. Desert Lords , those are 1,500 level creatures, and there are quite a lot of them. Of course, their abilities are even more disgusting."

"Then let's just shoot fast!" Bear Claw, who has lost his fighting spirit, is actually very timid. The guy who faced me so bravely before was just a short-term emotional outburst because he suddenly gained strength. Now that he has regained his composure, his usual personality has changed. Showed it.

Of course I don't want to fight those disgusting lugworms. Although these things are not very effective in combat, they have several very annoying characteristics. They like to swallow people in one bite and then burrow into the sand. Even if you can dig a hole in its belly and climb out, you will find that you are already very deep underground. If you don't have the ability to dig holes, you will probably They will be trapped and die underground. However, even if you manage to get out, there is actually no benefit because the lugworm is almost impossible to kill. The vitality of these guys is similar to that of earthworms, but they are even more abnormal. Even if only the head is cut off, they can still survive, and because they usually do not completely leave the sand surface, only part of the body is exposed, so in most cases you can All attacks can only damage part of its body. And this guy will run away once he is too seriously injured, and then you will find that there is no benefit to you from fighting for a long time. There is neither experience points nor equipment, and the only thing you get is a sour and smelly nausea. slime. Therefore, although this thing is not very powerful in combat, it is known as the number one most hated creature among players in desert areas.

Although the lugworm was disgusting, it couldn't fly, so we successfully avoided those things after taking off. In fact, lugworms don't even have eyes and can't see at all. Their hunting relies on the fluff on their bodies to sense vibrations on the ground to determine the target location, so they just need to fly. It is equivalent to becoming invisible in the sight of Nereis.

After successfully leaving the area where the Nereis was located, we flew directly towards the nearest Egyptian border. At the current speed, we should be able to get there very quickly. However, there is an isolation zone on the border between countries, and Ethiopia and Egypt are two countries, so this isolation zone still exists.

Because it is a desert country, the isolation zone between the two countries naturally has desert characteristics. In fact, this isolation zone is a sandstorm coverage area with a width of 150 kilometers. The intensity of the sandstorm in this area is like a crusher. Most people will be left with only bones within five minutes of entering. Moreover, these 150 kilometers are an absolute no-fly zone, after all, strong winds of more than ten levels are blowing in circles from east to west, north to south. Even a giant dragon can't fly!

"Huh? Are you reaching the isolation zone so soon?" I saw a sandstorm zone in front of me that looked like a wall. Bear Claw sitting next to me shouted quite excitedly.

To be honest, although sandstorms are very harmful, they are actually quite spectacular when viewed from the outside. Of course, if you need to go in. That's not very good. And now we just need to hike through this sandstorm zone. What's even more terrible is that it is absolutely impossible to fly in this area, and sometimes you have to be on all fours, because even then you may still be swept up into the sky by the strong wind.

"The flying bird is a jet flight system. It is normal to be fast. But after that, it will be difficult to travel the 150 kilometers!"

"Are you sure we want to walk there?" Bear Claw obviously didn't want to enter this isolation zone because this kind of place was too dangerous for him. Of course, I'm talking about him before, and he should be fine now.

"Originally, I had many ways to pass through here, but because you are here, I can only go there on foot."

"Why don't you believe me when I'm here?"

I counted on my fingers and told him: "First, the width of the sandstorm zone is only 150 kilometers. My directional coordinate-free transmission has a maximum distance of 138 kilometers. It can teleport to the edge of the sandstorm in one go. Then another short-distance teleportation will be OK. Second, although the sandstorm area is 150 kilometers wide, it is only 20,000 meters high. The limit of the flying bird is 28,000 meters. I can definitely fly from above. In the past, but after taking myself with me, the flying bird's ceiling limit is only 22,000. If I take you with me, I can't even fly with 18,000, so I can't fly with you. Third, my magic pet Ye Shadow has the ability to cut into the range of biological thought waves and jump within a range, but he can only jump with me, and you can't get in. Finally, I also have a magic pet that is good at digging holes, which can open a 150-kilometer tunnel from the ground. Long passages in the past were not a problem for him at all. But this is a desert, so the passages opened will collapse and there is no way to form a stable passage, so the only one who can pass through is himself. I can be with myself temporarily. The magic pet reverses its position, so when he goes over, it means I go over, but I don't know how to get you over. So, the only way I can think of now is to tie the two of us together, and then I will take you to climb over. It’s a little slow, but at least it’s doable.”

Xiongzhao was obviously very depressed after hearing what I said. Of course, it was not because I deliberately belittled him. On the contrary, he was depressed because what I said was the truth. Although he successfully parasitized that unknown super parasite, he only improved his environmental adaptability and combat effectiveness. In some aspects, he is still unable to compare with an all-round summoner like me.

"This is for you." After landing on the ground, I took out a rope from my body and handed one end to the other party. "Tie it up on your body, and be sure to tie it tightly. If you are blown away by the wind, this will be your only safety guarantee."

"Can this thing withstand it?" Bear Claw asked, looking at the rope as thick as a little finger in his hand.

"Don't underestimate this thing. This is not public supplies, this is equipment, Holy Spirit level."

When Xiongzhao heard that this thing was actually Holy Spirit-level, he immediately picked up the rope in surprise and asked, "Is this thing Holy Spirit-level? A Holy Spirit-level rope?"

"Whether you believe it or not, it is a Holy Spirit-level rope."

"I just want to know the difference between the Holy Spirit-grade rope and the rope I bought at the grocery store."

"The difference? It has strong tensile resistance. The rope in your hand can be used to tow the ship directly. It is stronger than the chain behind the anchor. It is also light. This rope only weighs fifteen kilograms, which is considered a very light rope. Oh, by the way. The most awesome ability of this thing is this." I took out a device about the size of a cantaloupe in the middle of the rope and showed it to him. "This is a rope with a built-in take-up device, and both ends can be freely retracted and retracted. Don't look at how big this thing is. It has a built-in compression space. After it is released, the total length of the rope can reach five kilometers, which is definitely enough for you. . Moreover, if you fix the two ends of the rope, this thing can also be used as a pulley. Holding it, you can slide from one end of the rope to the other, even uphill."

"This is really an amazing rope!" Xiongzhao sighed as he flexibly tied the rope in his hand into several knots. It seemed like this guy often played with ropes. After tying the rope, Bear Claw looked up and saw my strange gaze. He quickly explained with a blushing face: "I used to be a sailor. For a sailor on a sailboat, being able to use ropes is a basic skill!"

"You don't need to explain, I understand, I understand."

"What's that look in your eyes? You clearly don't understand."

"Believe me. I really understand." I deliberately patted the other person's shoulder and said, "After you tie it, come with me."

Secure the other end of the rope to my body first. Then I took the lead into the dust devil area. to be honest. The design of the sandstorm isolation zone in the game is not particularly abrupt, and its outer area is actually not particularly dangerous. Although you will be affected by sandstorms as soon as you step into the duststorm area, the wind force within the outermost 500 meters starts from level five. Then it continues to improve as it moves inward, and finally upgrades to a terrifying storm that can tear the human body apart. Of course, the most dangerous thing in a sandstorm is not the wind, but the flying sand. These gravels move densely in the air at high speeds, and the effect is similar to sandpaper or grinding wheels. It has very terrifying grinding and cutting capabilities. Our equipment will begin to lose durability as soon as it enters this area. Most equipment will not last long before problems begin. After that, once the durability of the equipment is lost, players will lose all defense and start to fight against the sandstorm with their bodies. At this time, those high-speed The moving grains of sand will peel off the skin and flesh of your body bit by bit, as if someone is rubbing your body with sandpaper crazily. This terrifying effect is even more terrifying than Ling Chi. After all, Ling Chi cuts with one knife. , this is completely a scratch!

After entering the dust storm area, I started to bend down and move forward a little bit, and Bear Claw also quickly entered the dust storm, but what he used to resist the dust was not armor but his own biological shell. This biological shell can be regenerated very quickly, so this thing is actually the most suitable way to protect against sandstorms. But based on what I asked him along the way, this thing is actually not real. Infinite regeneration requires the consumption of magic power to support.

In fact, the biggest difference between successful parasitism and failed parasitism is that the successful parasitism consumes magic power, while the failed parasitism consumes experience points and attribute values. Magic power can be regenerated, and although experience and attribute values ​​can also be increased, the difficulty is much higher than that of magic power recovery. Therefore, failed parasitism will only quickly drain the player's experience points and cause their account to be scrapped. After successful parasitism, although the explosive power is insufficient, it is stable and long-lasting and has no side effects.

After entering the sandstorm area, Bear Claw immediately adjusted his appearance. Because he was a perfect parasite, he could adjust his appearance at will. In the end, this guy gave himself a shape that looked a bit like a turtle. With four short legs and a huge back, this shape is very suitable for the environment of this place. The short legs mean they are close to the ground, so there is less wind resistance, and the big pot lid-like thing on the back plays a role in resisting the grinding of gravel. However, even if it becomes this form, it does not mean that it is absolutely safe.

The isolation zone on the national border is not only a threat to the natural environment. Otherwise, with the wisdom of the players, they will definitely be able to think of solutions to those rigid natural disasters. In order to deal with this situation, the system directly added multiple complex natural disasters to the border, and also added entities similar to level bosses to block everyone's action routes. In this way, the variables within the blockade will increase, and players It is impossible to deal with this ever-changing blockade and can only choose to take the channel set by the system, or consider other methods.

The main blockade method in this sandstorm zone is sandstorms, and the sand on the ground is actually the second blockade method, because this is not a simple sandy area. But quicksand.

"Ugh..." The guy with Bear Claw suddenly found that his body began to sink while he was walking, and no matter how he moved, he couldn't pull out his leg. Then the guy twisted desperately in the hope of getting himself out. , Who knew that it would be better not to move, but he would sink faster if he moved, and soon the sand had completely swallowed up his four legs, and the sand surface had risen to the bottom of his neck. Originally, Bear Claw wanted to ask for help when encountering this situation, but unfortunately he opened his mouth and poured a mouthful of sand, unable to shout anything.

Fortunately for this kid, there is a rope between us. Although the guy's humming voice was covered by the wind. But as I walked, the rope suddenly stretched and pulled me back. I knew something was wrong as soon as I felt the rope tighten. Looking back, I found that there was only a hemispherical turtle shell left on the ground, and most of the guy's body had sunk into the sand.

"What an idiot!" Looking at the bear's claws that had sunk into the quicksand, I helplessly summoned the pioneer to support him from below. Then push it out. "Are you an idiot? Have you never seen what a desert creature looks like? It turns into a turtle. Why don't you just become a fish?"

"I..." Bear Claw opened his mouth again and indeed took another mouthful of sand. Then it immediately misfired.

Since the helmet on the armor is fully enclosed, my speech here is not affected at all. "Forget about you and me, hurry up. Change your look."

After being scolded by me for a long time, that guy from Bear Claw finally got smart and directly applied to form a team with me. Although we have reached an agreement before, the two parties have not established a team. The main reason is that this guy feels that it is awkward to team up with me, so we have never formed a team. Anyway, we are not doing tasks. It doesn’t matter whether we team up or not. So I left him alone. Now this guy can't hold it in anymore.

After clicking confirmation, the guy's voice immediately appeared in the team channel. "Tell me what I can become? The environment in this place is so bad. If I don't become like this, won't I be causing trouble for myself?"

"I'm still not convinced that you are stupid. The sand is soft, and there are only two ways to avoid sinking. Either make a wide sole to disperse the pressure. Or make a sharp long leg like a scorpion, although every time you step down They will get stuck in the sand, but the sharp long legs can be easily pulled out, so you are not afraid of getting stuck in. Also, if you want to resist the polishing effect of a sandstorm, you don’t have to use a shell to block it! You can also get a layer of soft fur. ah!"

"this……"

Bear Claw really had nothing to say this time. Originally he wanted to quibble, but now he had to admire it. At least he didn't think of using soft fur to resist the cutting effect of gravel.

Although the high-speed impact of these gravels on the surface of the object can have an effect similar to sandpaper polishing, if it is soft hair, there is no need to worry about this, because the hair is soft, and the hair will deform and consume the impact force after the gravel hits it, so this will not happen There will be no strong friction effect in a hard collision, and naturally the surface will not be eroded quickly. Therefore, using soft hair to block sandstorms is actually more effective and easier than using a hard outer shell.

Having learned his lesson, Bear Claw quickly transformed himself into another form. This time this guy turned himself into a big crab covered with long hair. The legs of a crab are just like the legs of a scorpion. Although it is easy to sink into the sand, once it sinks deep enough, the deep sand will squeeze the intruder to ensure sufficient support, and because the legs are enough It's slender, so it doesn't take much effort to pull it out. At the same time, the eight long legs can ensure that at least four points support the ground at the same time, which can disperse the pressure, making it less likely to sink. As for the hair on the body, of course it was modified based on my ideas.

"How's it going? I didn't lie to you, did I? Is this structure much easier to use than before?" Looking at the bear claws that had turned into hairy crabs, I asked again.

Bear Claw admitted: "It's indeed good. Okay, let's leave quickly. I always feel a little unsafe in this place, as if someone is always watching us."

After hearing what Bear Claw said, I asked slightly surprised: "You can actually feel it."

"What's wrong?" Bear Claw looked at me in surprise and asked, "Is there really something nearby?"

I nodded and said, "I thought you wouldn't notice it at first, but now it seems I've underestimated you."

Bear Claw did not argue with me, but asked nervously: "What are the things around us?" (To be continued...)
