Chapter 49: Windfall and Unexpected Surprises

Attacking this guild is not a big deal for us. As long as we are willing to take action against a small guild of this level, we can usually wipe it out completely. However, the meaning of this attack is different. This is the first battle for us to officially enter Russia. After that, we will officially begin to integrate into Russia's sphere of influence and must be treated with caution. The city we are building now will also be our forward base, so we must take it seriously.

City construction and later deployment take a lot of time. I plan to use this time to help the guild's military band complete a few tasks to solve the problems of musical instruments and magic pets. With the help of the transnational teleportation array airlifted from Dragonfly Castle, they returned to Essinger first. The band members who had finally gathered together were all practicing together and improving their coordination.

The person I assigned to guide these girls in leveling said that the girls' leveling method could be called euthanasia. The monsters all became dull and silly in the music. The low-level monsters all entered a semi-sleep state, and the high-level monsters were swaying around like they were drunk. Even when encountering particularly powerful monsters, they can completely resist all kinds of hypnotic music. They will eventually be killed. Because no matter how strong this monster is, it will be weakened into a low-level monster after being superimposed by the negative effects of so many magic sound masters, and can be killed in a few hits. In the past, I was worried that their attack was too low and it would be inconvenient to level up, but now it seems that they are simply too strong and there are no suitable monsters for them to kill.

Twenty-four music system girls plus two national weapon holders, True Red and Gold Coin, make a total of twenty-six beauties. I took twenty-six girls by myself from the leveling area back to a nearby city, which attracted the attention of all the players around us. There are appearance modifications in the game, and even if the girl is not very beautiful after modification, she will not be any worse, but the sudden appearance of twenty-six top beauties is still quite shocking. The most important thing is that our lineup is too luxurious. In order to facilitate their leveling, I equipped all these girls with unicorn pegasus without a single hair. In addition, the girls prepared white cloaks to match their mounts. It was like an angel parade. The return rate is absolutely 100%.

After entering the city, select the teleportation array. The target is directly the Essinger central teleportation array. After heading to the Ruyi Altar from here, I asked them: "Do you want a magic pet first or equipment first?"

Practicing with the girls for two or three days is not without gains. At least they have figured out the characteristics of the staff and developed a basic tacit understanding. Except for the two national weapon holders who are my special guests, a basic division of labor has already appeared in this twenty-four-member band. Calliope, who has the most flamboyant personality, as the only singer in the band, obviously has a tendency to become the leader of everyone, while Qunrui, a strong woman who was originally stronger, has become the second-in-command. figure. In addition to the two of them, Bingbing and Bingling have also become two special beings. Bing Ling relies on Bing Bing's status. He is relatively active and is probably the third most popular person in the band. However, Bingbing is a special person who usually listens to others' orders, but has veto power on everything. She usually listens to others' orders because Bingbing has an introverted and quite shy personality, so she is not used to making decisions on her own, and she must have someone to give her instructions before she can exert her strength. But on the other hand, Bingbing's status is too high-end. The other girls are just workers at best, but Bingbing was the basic staff of the guild at the beginning of its establishment, if it weren't for the fact that she is not a commanding person. Now at least one of the guild senate members. But no matter how shy she is, she is one of the top members of the guild after all. No girl in the band dares to offend her, which establishes her unique status.

After hearing my question, everyone did not get confused, but simply discussed it. Then Calliope, who was vaguely the captain, said to me: "Compared to the magic pet, we think equipment is more important, so we should equip it first."

"Okay." I took out a box. "Let's draw lots."

"What?"

"You draw first and then talk about it. In addition, the four dancing angel ladies. You only need to send one person to draw. There are also twelve scale angels who only need one representative to draw."

The girls completed the drawing of lots in confusion, but they had no expressions because they didn't know what it meant to get these lots. I waited until they all got their lots and then explained: "The lots you drew have numbers on them, and numbers from one to ten represent the order in which your equipment tasks are arranged."

The twelve girls of the twelve-note scale known as angels immediately asked: "Then why did the twelve of us only get one lot?"

"Yes! How come we four sisters can only sign for one?" The quadruplets also protested.

"You are all in a team, so your equipment cannot be decided casually based on personal needs. The attributes of the whole team must be comprehensively considered, so when applying, directly apply for team missions with coordination capabilities."

"That's it." The girls in groups nodded to indicate that they could accept this arrangement.

Calliope suddenly turned around and asked, "Which of you got number one?"

"Here I am." The one who raised his hand was Qun Rui.

"Where's No. 2?" Calliope continued to ask.

"Here I am." This time it was the representative of the four sisters. "Haha, I didn't expect us to be ranked second."

I poured cold water on them and said: "Don't be too happy. The difficulty of the task will not be adjusted based on the quality of the people entering it. It is only affected by the number of people. Because the initial task needs to be done so directly, the difficulty will be higher and it will fail. The possibility of the land is also greater. The people who are in the last place will definitely make the task less difficult because the people in front have already obtained the equipment and their strength has improved. Therefore, it is good luck to be in the back, and it is not a good thing to be in the front. ."

Calliope smiled and waved her lot. "Then it seems that I am unlucky enough to be number 3. Tell me the numbers in order."

The next person counts in turn. A pure heart is the fourth. Mirror is fifth, and Crystal Princess is sixth. The seventh is the twelve-note scale of the angel, the eighth is the crystal flame, and the ninth is the ice. Bingbing is the last one, what a blessing!

According to the order of drawing, I need to let Qunrui complete the mission equipment and change the equipment first. Considering the terrifying ability of the altar, in order to ensure that it is foolproof, I first asked Qunrui to describe the functions of the full-body equipment that I wanted to obtain, and then confirmed it many times. Let twenty-four of them stand on the altar, and then I walked up to the altar with the true red and gold coins. Signing to the player outside that it was time to start, that player immediately activated the energy device of the altar. A large amount of magic power was pumped into the altar, and the magic circle under our feet immediately lit up with white light.

Everyone was holding their breath and motionless. It is up to me to state my wishes in order to prevent unclear expressions from causing task deviation. This kind of thing has happened more than once or twice. This altar is open to official players of the guild. Many players have done wrong tasks because of their poor expression skills. The rewards they received after completion are seriously inconsistent with their wishes. There is no way. I blame the system, I can only blame myself for not being detailed enough. I repeatedly confirmed Qunrui's needs before just to prevent mistakes. Now it's up to me to relay my wish. With my ability to express myself, the possibility of making mistakes is relatively small.

Once the wish is finished. The white magic circle under our feet suddenly glowed brightly, and the surrounding area turned into a vast expanse of white. When the light dimmed again and we could see things again, we suddenly found that the place we were standing was extremely dangerous.

"Holy crap, how did you teleport us here?" Jin Coin exclaimed as he looked at the surging magma below.

We actually appeared in the middle of a lava lake, and we were at the top of a stone pillar sticking out of the lava. The stone pillar is only a dozen meters away from the magma lake below. The hot steam with the strong sulfur smell makes people's eyes sore, and the top of this stone pillar is not as big as the Ruyi altar. Those of us standing on it can almost reach the edge, and if we move a step further, we will fall.

Calliope bent down and looked at the situation below and said, "Good guy. We were thrown directly into the crater."

"Don't worry, there must be a way to complete the mission. Qunrui's request is not to obtain new weapons, but to strengthen her existing equipment, so it shouldn't be too difficult, and there won't be a situation where death is inevitable. Let's take a closer look There is something noteworthy nearby, if it doesn’t work, just fly out first.”

"Does that count?" Qunrui pointed diagonally above us. There was actually a hole in the direction she was pointing.

Calliope patted me and pointed in another direction. "Regardless of whether it counts or not, should we go there first and talk about it?" I followed her fingers and looked over. I saw the dorsal fin of a huge creature rising from the magma, and this thing was rushing towards us at high speed. Judging from the opponent's speed and size, the rocks under our feet are most likely unable to withstand his impact.

"Xiao Feng, Plague, go and stop that guy. Lucky will take everyone there."

Among the giant dragons, the black dragons are not afraid of magma. Plague pounced directly on the monster in the magma, and the thing was immediately pushed under the lake by Plague. Xiaofeng folded its wings in the sky and inserted itself into the magma. Calliope asked me worriedly: "Are they okay?"

"It doesn't matter, Xiaofeng is a black fire phoenix. The higher the temperature, the more powerful she becomes. She is almost invincible in this kind of magma lake."

Just as he said this, a huge flame suddenly burst out from the lake. Xiaofeng has returned to its original shape, flapping its huge wings more than a hundred meters long and leaving the lake with rolling lava. She was actually holding something under her paws.

"Fire King Snake!" Crystal Flame pointed at the thing and shouted. "Don't kill it! It's a thousand-level monster, the best!"

I nodded. "I know, I'll ask Xiaofeng to knock him out and bring him down."

Crystal Princess suddenly said: "That snake is so pitiful. I remember that the bird monster seems to be a snake monster that has been completely suppressed. The phoenix is ​​the bird king and the flame king snake is a big snake. It happened to be completely restrained."

Calliope suddenly said: "Strange, where is your earth dragon?"

"Hey...?" I suddenly reacted after Calliope said this. Why did two demon pets go down and only one came up? Where has the plague gone? Use telepathic contact quickly. "Plague, where have you gone?"

"I'm at the bottom of the lake."

"What are you doing down there? Come up quickly."

"There's something good down here. You'd better take a look."

"Down there? What good stuff is there?"

"It's very valuable anyway, don't be regretful."

"Is it worth it?" My eyes suddenly flashed with green light. "I'll be down right away." He turned to Calliope and said, "You guys take Lucky and wait for me in the cave. Plague has found something down there. I'll go down and have a look."

"Go down?" Calliope was startled. "You mean going under the lava?"

"Hey, don't make such a fuss. The artifact suit is not just for viewing. You guys go over there first, I'll be up in a minute." After saying that, I put down the mask, and after making sure it was locked, I directly pressed the fire button on my body. Drill. Red light immediately enveloped my whole body, and at the same time, raging hell flames rose from the surface of my armor. He walked to the edge of the stone pillar and stepped out in one step. With a plop, the whole person fell into the magma, just like falling on jelly. But this thing was not solid after all, and my body sank quickly.

The bottom of the magma lake is far less viscous than the surface. The magma becomes thinner as you go down, and it feels almost like water. But the heat of magma is no joke. Although the fire resistance of the magic dragon suit is good, it is not able to completely resist the high temperature of magma. But my armor is studded with fire diamonds. In addition, the energy-absorbing hell flames can absorb high temperatures, so it's not a big deal in the magma, it just feels very hot.

I dived all the way down. Magma is not as transparent as water. Although the lower layer of magma is relatively thinner than the upper layer, the visibility is still no more than 20 centimeters. It can basically be said that I can't see my fingers. There was nothing in front of him but red. Fortunately, I can still sense the location of Plague based on telepathic contact, so I just need to chase him.

Soon I reached the plague. Plague cannot speak in the magma, so he can only talk to me through spiritual contact.

"Master, look at what's down here."

"My eyes are all red and I can't see anything!"

"Oh, then you go down a little now. Reach out and 'touch', yes, that's right there, pick it up." I followed the Plagueland's instructions and 'touched' a hard object with sharp edges. It seems like a stone. The Magic Dragon suit can transmit the sense of touch to my fingers, but after all, it is not my own skin. I cannot feel the fineness of the surface. I can only roughly judge the hardness and lines. I brought this thing in front of me, almost in front of the crystal eyepiece on the mask, and finally saw clearly what it was.

What I got is a gemstone. It looks bright red at the moment, but this is not necessarily its original color. There was a fiery red everywhere under the magma. Gemstones are so reflective, so of course they will be whatever color of light is around them. "I can't see the color at all! Plague, can you see the color clearly?"

Plague said helplessly: "Master, you are really derelict in your duty!"

"Hey? Why?"

"You have four dragons as pets, but you don't even know that dragons are color-blind?"

"Ah? Are all dragons color blind?"

"Yes. All dragons are born with color blindness. However, we have a magic called Colorful World, which can give you temporary color vision. It's just that I can't use this magic under the magma."

"Halo! Just wait, I'll go up and see what kind of gem this is."

Letting the plague wait below, I floated directly up to the surface of the lake, reached out and took out my hand. The surrounding light is still too red. Can't see the color. He had no choice but to spread his wings and fly out of the magma. Just less than one meter away from the lake, a black shadow suddenly flew past overhead. Xiaofeng and the snake are still fighting! Xiaofeng grabbed the king snake and threw it towards the cliff of the crater. With a bang, the big snake was embedded entirely into the mountain. It almost becomes a sculpture. However, when Xiaofeng flew over to attack, the big snake suddenly bounced out from the cliff and entangled Xiaofeng in the air. The two big guys fell into the magma together, and the splashing magma balls flew everywhere.

I flew directly to the edge of the cliff on the other side and climbed up to the hole at the top where Calliope and the others were hiding. Take back your luck first, then get into the hole. The light here is relatively dark. I asked the gold coin to use lighting to create a little white light, and at the same time used my wings to block the red light outside. Now the color of the gem was completely clear.

This thing is red, and the surface is actually burning with flames. Gold Coin's eyes flashed with stars and said: "Oh my God! I have never seen such a pure fire crystal. The flame element is so strong that it can burn flames without activating it. Isn't this too abnormal?"

"Hey, no matter whether Qun Rui's equipment can be upgraded this time, at least this trip was not in vain." I put the fire crystal on the ground. "Those of you who have fire protection skills should seal it up and put it away first. There are a lot of these things down there. I'll go down and get them all up."

"Wait. Ah...!" Jin Coin got excited and wanted to hold me, but as soon as he 'touched' my armor, there was a squeaking sound. Jin Coin screamed and stopped his hand and jumped back, and there was a wave of laughter in the air. It smells like teppanyaki. "Wow! It burned me to death! Who knows how to freeze? I can't stand the pain and can't use it anymore!"

"You are serious too. I came up from the magma just now, and the temperature is still high. If you have anything to say, don't get excited!"

"I'm not doing it for your own good." Jin Coin said unconvinced: "It's not uncommon for flame elements to naturally condense into fire crystals, but with such a high concentration of flame crystals gathering in a large area, do you think it is a natural formation? "

As soon as I was reminded by the gold coin, I immediately realized something was wrong. The temperature of the magma is high, but it is not high enough to naturally condense into fire crystals, and something of such high purity should not appear, let alone appear so densely. Then the only possibility is that some creature brought these things together artificially. Generally speaking, the possibility of humanoid creatures is not high, because humanoid creatures are social animals. They will trade gems instead of hiding them for fun. On the contrary, many Warcraft have the habit of gathering treasures, such as Talk about the dragon.

The newly discovered king snake was originally a big suspect, but as far as we know, the flame king snake does not have the habit of collecting gems. On the contrary, this guy likes to collect the bones of enemies to decorate his nest. Since it is not a king snake, there should be other more dangerous creatures in this magma.

As soon as I thought about the crux, everything became chaotic outside. Xiaofeng just happened to throw the king snake out again, and the king snake hit the stone pillar where we just appeared, and the stone pillar collapsed suddenly. Xiaofeng was rushing over quickly to kill this guy, but halfway through the flight, the magma beneath Xiaofeng suddenly exploded, and a black shadow flew out, colliding directly with Xiaofeng. Xiaofeng originally planned to hit her enemy with a slap in the face, but found that the one who hit her was actually the plague, and the plague was obviously thrown up by others.

"What did you do? Who was beaten like this?" Xiaofeng was surprised to find that Plague was not only thrown up, but he suddenly had three large wounds on his body, as if he was caught by something. Dragon scales have always been a top-quality material for making armor and shields, which shows how high the defense power of dragon scales is. In addition, many people don't know that in addition to the hard scales of dragons, their skin is also invulnerable. Even if a dragon's scales fall off, not everyone can be injured, and this guy can actually scratch three bloody wounds on the plague's back, which shows how abnormal the attack power of this thing is.

"Xiao Feng, take the plague up there and forget about that dead earthworm. There is a more ruthless one down there." I shouted to Xiao Feng.

Xiaofeng obediently brought the plague and the situation rose. I summoned Lucky again to move everyone up, and then quickly flew upwards, because the surface of the magma lake had begun to rise. The Flame King Snake just fled towards the outside in panic, and then got in through a very hidden gap. Obviously, the thing that was about to come out was much more powerful than him.

The entire magma lake began to rotate, and a huge vortex appeared in the magma in the lake. The lava was rotating and rising, quickly flooding the entrance of the cave we had just escaped from. Thanks to my foresight, I led everyone out in advance, otherwise we would all be smoldering chickens now.

The center of the rotating lake suddenly exploded, and the magma spurted out. A huge object rose up from under the magma, pushing up all the magma.

"Oh my God! How could it be this?"
