Chapter 23 Oskar Forest
"Can I use the teleportation array here?"
"The teleportation array is a profitable project, and of course it is open to the outside world." The knight leading the team pointed forward with his lance. "Just over there, just walk forward. But don't enter the castle range, otherwise we will use force."
"Thank you, we won't go in." Several knights ignored us and turned around and ran away, while we walked towards the teleportation array.
The teleportation array in this place is really strange. It is shaped like a bell tower. You can see the rotating teleportation array inside when you stand at the door. After Rose and I walked in, the people inside all looked at us strangely, but I didn't plan to ignore them, since they wouldn't be here in a while anyway.
After standing on the teleportation array with Rose, pay the money, select the teleportation target and confirm. The light flashed, and Rose and I appeared in another place, but this place didn't look like a teleportation array at all. It is said that the function of the teleportation array is to send people from one array to another, but this is obviously not a teleportation array!
Rose looked around. "Where did our news come from?"
I looked around, and I could barely make out the surrounding scenery in the dim light. This is obviously a room, with an area of about 20,000 square meters. The three walls, roof and floor are all made of the same bricks. The only different side is a fence composed of a large number of crisscrossed black long sticks.
I reached out and touched the ground. It was very damp, and there seemed to be a lot of moss. It seemed the same thing when I touched the wall again. Walking to the different wall, he stretched out his hand to feel the material of the black fence. As soon as my hand touched the fence, the entire wall lit up. Blue electric light flickered on the entire wall, but I didn't pull my hand back because I didn't feel the electric shock at all. The magic dragon suit is immune to medium and low-level electric shocks, and only high-level powerful electric shock magic will have an effect. After contacting the fence, I finally confirmed its material. These black ones are all metal and are quite strong. With the above information it is easy to answer Rose's question.
"It seems like we are in a cell!"
"Why did you teleport to the cell? Could it be that the teleportation failed? Did you check what level of teleportation array it was when you gave me the money just now?"
"It seems to be E-class."
"Then there's a chance that something is wrong."
"Why are you so unlucky!" I walked to the fence and looked outside. There was no light in the dark corridor, but I could see at night, so darkness was not a problem.
After checking around for a long time, there was no one in the corridor! I originally planned to give a shout, but Rose understood what I was thinking and stopped me in advance. "Don't make any noise. Who knows if this is a player guild's dungeon or a monster's dungeon! We can just go out quietly."
I nodded and the wrist blade slipped out of my hand. Just as he was about to chop, he was stopped by Rose. "Keep your voice down, you won't be heard if you chop."
"That's right." He took out the red eternity from the mouth decorated with a dragon head on his left arm. Turn eternity into a pair of steel shears with a long handle and a short mouth, and cut the steel bars in the middle of the fence. He gently pulled off the cut part and put it aside, then pulled the rose out of the fence.
The corridors are very long on both sides, and they all have turns. It's hard to figure out which way is the exit! I released the dart and asked him to run to the left to see if there was an exit. Darts are fast and small enough to make them difficult to detect. Soon he ran back. There was a downward staircase on the side he ran to, and below was the water prison. That means that there will definitely not be an exit, the other side is the exit.
Rose was almost blind in this dark passage. I led her forward carefully. Suddenly I seemed to hear something. Listen carefully, it seemed to be the sound of metal boots hitting the stone slabs. This was the sound of people wearing armor walking. I quickly covered Rose's mouth and held her in my arms. The cloak fluttered to cover us both, and whispered in her ear: "Don't make a sound, someone is coming." She squatted in the corner and watched what happened.
After a while, two soldiers holding torches appeared at the other end of the passage, and the torches illuminated the faces of the two soldiers. The exaggerated bull and pig heads show that these are two orc soldiers, and they are NPCs. Players rarely choose orcs, let alone a pig-headed man. It is understandable to choose a bull head, but it will never be a player who chooses a pig head. . Niutou said as he walked: "I clearly heard a sound."
Zhutou said: "There are no sounds from prisoners in this dungeon!"
Niutou said unconvinced: "I bet, there is definitely a sound. If I can't find anything for a while, I will give you the True Blue Eye that I popped out this morning. If there is something, you have to lend me your mount. One month.”
"Okay! I don't believe it. Is the empty room haunted?"
I was listening inexplicably. The conversation between these two guys just now showed that these two seemed to be players. NPCs would not say the word "explosive equipment". Is it true that some players choose the race of pig-headed people? The forest is really big and there are all kinds of birds!
While we were talking, two men approached us. They used torches to inspect the cells one by one. Rose and I are not at the door of the cell we just came out of, but have moved three or four cells toward the entrance. Two guards walked past us without noticing. The pig-headed man turned back and glanced at us, which startled us. However, he did not come back. He just glanced at us and continued to move forward to check.
"What's going on?" The tauren suddenly screamed, and the pig-headed man immediately ran over. The two of them found the iron fence I had cut through.
"It seems to have been opened from the inside with a sharp weapon."
"But we have been at the entrance and no one has gone out! People must still be in the dungeon."
After hearing what the tauren said, the pig-headed man immediately turned back to look at us, raised his hand and threw his spear over. This guy must have sensed us with that glance just now, but he didn't pay attention at the time. Now he was sure we were hiding here so he threw the spear over.
I didn't want to expose myself, so I threw eternity away with a flick of my hand. The red spherical eternity directly hit the spear, and both weapons flew to the side. But the tip of the spear shattered into two pieces and fell to the ground. Eternal hit the wall and immediately bounced to the opposite side. This time Eternity directly hit the pig-headed man's head and smashed its brains on the spot. The tauren next to him still wanted to resist, but Eternity used the force of the wall to bounce behind him. As soon as he turned around, eternity bounced back. The red eternity was like a tiger in the passage, constantly hitting the wall back and forth, and the speed was getting faster and faster. Deep cracks appeared where it was hit.
When the speed was enough, Eternity launched another attack and hit the Minotaur. The Minotaur put up a giant tower card more than one meter high in his hand to block the attack. But Eternity's speed was too fast at this time, and the shield was useless. With a bang, there was a hole in the shield as big as eternity, and the tauren fell straight backwards.
Eternity bounced on the ground a few times as if celebrating victory. I stretched out a hand, and Eternity bounced and landed in my palm. Re-fix it in the dragon's mouth on his left arm. There is still one minute and thirty seconds before the opponent is resurrected, so he must take advantage of this time to run quickly.
He just kept his cloak invisible and continued to move forward, rushing all the way to the end of the corridor. After turning the corner, there is a set of steps that goes up diagonally. It seems that the exit is at the top. While being careful not to make any noise, we moved up the stairs. Fortunately, the stairs were not very long. We soon reached the end, and a door appeared in front of us.
I asked Rose to stand still and stood behind the door. One, two, three, I kicked down the wooden door and its frame, but when I rushed out, I found nothing around me! The exit of the dungeon is a room, only a few square meters in total. There is nothing in the room except a table and three chairs. There is no one here at this time! Suddenly I felt something moving under my feet, and I took half a step back to find a person pressed under the door panel. I said why is there no one?
I kicked the wooden door away, and what appeared below was a sheep-headed man lying on his back. It seemed that he was just about to open the door and enter the tunnel, but I kicked him down! While the guy was still moaning on the ground, he went up and kicked him unconscious. The two people killed below will be resurrected in 30 seconds, so they must be quick. Fortunately, the noisy sound let me know that this was near a city street, and the main street should be not far away. We were not prisoners in the first place, we were just sent to the wrong place. As long as we're on the street, we'll be fine. No one will see our true colors anyway.
When you open the door, you will see a small courtyard with no one inside. I picked up the rose and rushed out of the room, following the sound and jumping over the courtyard wall. I thought it was the street outside and I would be safe if I blended in with the crowd. As a result, although it was indeed a street outside, it was absolutely impossible to sneak in. Because the streets are full of creatures with strange animal heads. This is a gathering place for orcs, and there are no humans at all. I stood there holding the rose, as dazzling as a white sheep among wolves. What a miscalculation. I wish I had known better and looked up beforehand!
"Alien?" The tiger-headed man closest to me looked at me and said.
I don't know what to do, but just standing there doesn't seem to be an option. He lowered his head and asked about the rose in his arms. "what should we do?"
"Running is the way to go!"
I immediately looked around at the buildings around me. They were all wooden structures, none with more than four floors, and they all looked crude. He suddenly spread his wings and crouched down, trying to fly, but a sharp and ear-piercing cry suddenly rushed down from the air. I threw the rose onto the roof. "Wait for me up there."
What rushed down from the sky was a guy with an eagle head. My take-off posture was suppressed. And just now it was hard to control the direction while holding the rose, but now it's much better. After moving his limbs, he immediately transformed into a beast. His body suddenly increased to nearly three meters tall, with sharp claws and fangs sticking out. With the armor, his aura was not inferior to that of these orcs.
The other party was obviously taken aback. "Don't be nervous, we are not trying to do anything to you. We are not Swiss, so you don't have to worry about us excluding foreigners!"
"Huh?" This news is strange. There is not a single Swiss in such a large group of people, and they are still in Switzerland! "Then who are you?"
"We are players in the Beast Alliance. We are all familiar with each other on the forum. We have agreed to come here to establish a guild to develop together. We are all orc lovers, and we all chose orcs when we entered the game. However, many players like Judging a book by its appearance, orc players are always marginalized, so we set up an independent organization here."
"Oh! It's a misunderstanding! If nothing happens, can I leave?"
"You can leave anytime, but I'd like you to stay and talk."
"Then you wait while I get my wife down first." He turned around and kicked on the ground with lightning speed. He jumped up to the roof, jumped down again holding the rose, put the rose on the ground and then said to him: " Do you have anything to say?"
"That's right. We want to ask about your transformation ability...?"
"This! I gained the ability to transform into a werewolf after being bitten by a werewolf."
"What about your wings?"
"I am originally from the Demon Clan and was born with wings."
"So it's a mixed race?"
"Yes."
"Then it's okay, you can go." The eagle-headed man no longer stopped us.
I wasn't polite to him either, so I took Rose and turned around to leave. After we left, the tiger-headed man walked up to the eagle-headed man and said, "Why don't you ask more? Maybe that kid hid it and didn't tell us?"
"He should be telling the truth. You see, he kept his humanoid form at first, and then turned into a beast until he was ready to fight, which means that he was not originally an orc. What a pity! If only we could transform like him, we The appearance of these orcs is too conspicuous, even if you want to detect them!"
A werewolf came over and said: "It would be great if I could get that person to join the party. Anyway, the intelligence collection mission does not require everyone to be dispatched."
"Yes! It's a pity that he is gone!"
The tiger-headed man patted the hawk-headed man and pointed forward. "He seems to be back again!"
I just left this small village and then I remembered that I didn’t know where this place was, so I ran back again. Seeing the eagle-headed man still standing there, I ran over quickly. "Sorry, I just forgot to ask. Where is this place? I was teleported to the wrong place using the teleportation array, and ended up being thrown here! May I ask how to get to the Earth Mother Temple in Oskar? "
"I want to ask a question before I answer your question."
"you say."
"I wonder if you would like to join our guild. We really need people like you."
I pointed to the crystal badge on my left chest, and then pointed to the magic six-pointed star logo on my collar.
"Sorry! I was too excited and didn't pay attention." The hawk-headed man continued: "You leave the village from there, and then keep going forward. When you encounter a fork in the road, just turn right. When you see a forest shrouded in white mist, , that is the Auska Forest. As for the Temple of the Earth Mother, I only know that it is in the forest, but I don’t know the specific location. I have entered it once before, but was hung back by a monster and did not see the temple!"
"Thank you." I turned around and took Rose with me and left the village.
The tiger-headed man asked the hawk-headed man after we left. "What did he just show you? Why didn't you accept him?"
"Didn't you see what he was pointing at?"
"How could I see it when you were blocking it! What did he show you?"
"The guild badge hanging on his body is a crystal inlaid with colored gemstones specially designed for the president. Moreover, there is a God's seal on the collar of his armor, indicating that he is being protected by a high-ranking god. . He is obviously not Swiss, and those who have the Seal of God are theocratic knights and must often go back to meet their gods. How can we win over people like him?"
"No wonder you stopped trying to persuade him! What a shame!"
On the other hand, Rose and I had already left the village far away, so we put on our mounts and ran toward the forest. Although the teleportation array was deviated, it seemed to be not far away. At least we saw the Auska Forest soon. This huge forest stretches out like a line, and the huge area makes people dizzy! The white mist that filled the forest was obviously poisonous, because there were no ornamental animals around. It is said that there are many various NPCs in the game that are used to create a real environment, such as free NPCs in the city, small fish in the sea, small insects in the forest, and small animals on the grassland. These things generally have no offensive power and are purely for creating atmosphere. But sometimes they can also display some information. For example, they can tell me now that the white mist here is extremely poisonous.
Fortunately, our armors all have anti-venom masks, and it's safe to pull them down. The mount can no longer be used. Although my familiars all have a certain resistance to toxins, it is not a good thing to be exposed to toxins for a long time. It is better to wait and summon them when needed. Flying from the sky is also an extremely unscientific method. A temple of this level must be protected by an illusion, and you won’t even know it if you fly by then!
Hiking into the forest from below was a trepidation for both of us. The instructions from the president of the laboratory and the accounts of the players here indicate that there are many dangers in the forest, and you may die if you are not careful.
As we went deeper, the sky gradually turned dark. Rose has no night vision, so I gave her the star pupils. Anyway, I can still see at night without the star pupils. We have been advancing like this for nearly an hour, and we are getting more and more courageous. There is nothing in this forest. I really don’t know how those people got back. Did he get lost and starve to death inside?
As I was walking, I suddenly felt an intrusion from an outside force. I pushed Rose to the ground violently, and a white wind blade flew past our backs. I jumped up and shook my wings, and countless silver and colorful feathers fell down and turned into steel silver bees and blood butterflies. These two are masters of using poison, and they are not afraid of poison themselves. Moreover, they are so numerous that they don't care if they sacrifice one or two.
The two summoned creatures spread out in all directions with the buzzing sound of the wind and carried out a carpet search. I couldn't believe that I still couldn't find the enemy.
"Still trying to run!" I felt the enemy's position as soon as the two Steel Silver Bees were shot down. When I pointed in the direction, the two and a half months behind me immediately spun and flew out. With two clicks, the upper parts of the two big trees were cut off. There is also a white shadow between the broken tree branches. Although the white color is well concealed in the white mist, the white color in the fallen tree branches is too conspicuous. The two half-moons that flew away immediately turned around and came back, but the white figure jumped out from the branch of the tree nimbly.
While he was still in the air, I flicked my hand and wrapped the dragon tendons around his body, pulling him back violently. Ban Yue immediately followed up and prepared for a fatal attack, but the white creature turned over flexibly in the air, and Ban Yue flew past again, but the splash of blood showed that Ban Yue still hurt him.
A white light suddenly lit up on my body. It was the sensitivity skill that Rose had added to me. She saw that I was not fast enough and strengthened it for me.
"Be careful!" Rose suddenly shouted.
The eternity in my hand immediately turned into a red wall in front of me. A row of hidden weapons hit the wall with a jingling sound, but none of them succeeded, and they were all bounced aside. The ever-changing shield's defensive ability is obviously better than that of mercury. The hidden weapon just now was like a bullet hitting a tank, with no effect at all.
Taking back eternity, the white shadow actually used this moment to untie the dragon tendons and turned around to run away, but he made a serious mistake. He had forgotten about my little darlings, and dozens of Steel Silver Bees immediately made him understand the consequences of neglecting them. A large group of silver-colored steel bees stung the white figure for more than a thousand times. The white figure fell to the ground with a plop like a sack and never moved again.
"Don't go there, he's pretending to be dead." Rose reminded me. "His soul didn't come out."
The characteristic of the resurrection mage is that he can see the soul of the deceased. Even if this creature is not a human being, at least it should have a soul. If the soul does not leave the body, it means that it is not dead. I waved my hand, and more Steel Silver Bees surrounded them and stung them fiercely. The white shadow below suddenly jumped up and fled deep into the jungle, but the blood butterflies had already prepared their pockets in front of them, waiting for him to get into them.
Just as Bai Ying escaped from the attack, he discovered that the surrounding Steel Silver Bees were not being thrown away but actively retreated. He seemed to realize the problem, but it was too late. A petite little girl flashed out from behind the tree with beautiful wings and a bow and arrow. She shouted in a beautiful childish voice: "Attack!"
There was a neat sound of bow strings vibrating, and a large number of small arrows flew over, and the rain of arrows immediately covered him. Bai Ying turned into a hedgehog almost instantly. Although the small arrows did not have strong attack power, they were numerous, and the real lethality of these arrows lay in the huge poison on the arrows. Bai Ying took two steps and fell to the ground. This time he was really dead.
