Chapter 249

After Yi Lulin and others sat down, Huo Ling landed on the stone pillar opposite the table.

⒐ Lu Lin thought the stone pillar was a decoration when he saw it before, but he did not expect that it turned out to be a large torch. As for the fire spirit, it was probably its chair.

"I wonder why Master Zhenling is here?"

Ling Huoling's voice sounded, and there was still a hint of respect in her voice.

However, this respect was all directed at the ferrets. As for Lu Lin and others, they seemed to be completely regarded as nothing.

3 The ferret looked at Lu Lin.

⒌ Lu Lin touched his chin, thought for a moment, and gave the ferret a look.

⒍Thinking together, the ferret also understood what Lu Lin meant.

To put it simply, si is to let it play freely.

Anyway, the ferrets probably know their plan. Since the fire spirit recognizes ferrets and recognizes other people, then just let the ferrets talk to it.

It just so happened that Lu Lin was also very curious about things like ancient elves, and wanted to see if he could learn anything from their conversations. :.

The ferret touched his chin, then chose to put away his casual look, floated up as before, and said unhurriedly: "Someone must have told you before, we want to go to the dungeon. Need a guide."

"This matter is easy to handle, I will arrange it," Huo Ling responded, "I just don't know why you want to go to that death place?"

"You don't have to worry about it," Ferret shook his head and said, "By the way, where is your master spirit?"

"Main Spirit?" Huo Ling's voice paused for a moment, and then said, "Since I was born, I have never felt the existence of the Main Spirit, but..."

"But?" the ferret asked doubtfully.

"However, I can feel that the power of the main spirit exists in this desert," Fire Spirit said. "Without the power of the main spirit, we would not be born."

"Huh? Birth? When were you born?" the ferret asked.

"Ten years ago? Twenty years ago? Thirty years ago? Sorry, I don't remember," the fire spirit's voice seemed a little confused, "We have been trying to find information about us and the main spirit from the magic, and we have no idea about time. The perception has always been a bit blurry.”

"Is that so? It was only born in the past few decades anyway?" The ferret touched his chin, "Do you know how you were born?"

"I don't know. When consciousness awakens, the birth is already over," Fire Spirit replied.

"You keep saying 'we', do you mean you have other people of the same species?" the ferret asked.

"Yes," Huo Ling nodded, "My people are all over the desert. At the same time, I also rule all the Como people."

俬Chapter 410: Bah, it’s so embarrassing to say that you lead others, and you don’t even blush if you say it.

Notwithstanding the conversational patterns between the ferrets and the fire spirits, Lu Lin listened to their questions and answers and made a summary in his mind. After about twenty minutes, he finally understood the current situation and roughly understood the ancient elves. some things.

牭 Ancient Elves, as the name suggests, are spirits that have existed since ancient times.

Today, there are very few ancient elves that can be seen, and most of them have disappeared in the long river of history.

The reason for Wu's disappearance is unknown, and the reason for her birth is equally unknown.

Among ancient elves of the same kind, there seems to be a so-called "main spirit". The main spirit holds the power to control the survival of a clan. If the main spirit exists, the clan will survive. If the master spirit is forgotten, the clan will perish.

This is also the reason why the fire spirit respects the ferret so much. Although the ferret is not a fire spirit, as the main spirit of false life and death, it has a natural suppression of magic power.

As for their own main spirits...

ZAccording to the fire spirit, the main spirit of the fire spirit disappeared in ancient times, and their tribe also disappeared with it.

h It was not until a few decades ago that these fire elves suddenly emerged from the desert.

The process of U's birth is unknown, and the reason for its birth...

aThe direct cause is still unknown, but the fundamental reason seems to be that the power of the main spirit exists in this land.

NAs for where the power of the so-called main spirit comes from, it is also unclear.

ｑIn the final analysis, it is just a newly born fire spirit. It can know so many things because the ancient elves have the ability to find past knowledge related to themselves from the magic power of the magic world.

UThis matter is very mysterious. From the eyes of ordinary people, it is not an exaggeration to say that these elves are born with knowledge in a certain sense.

During this period, one of the main jobs of these fire spirits is to rummage through the garbage in the magic world, constantly searching for knowledge related to themselves.

: In addition, they seem to have become the actual leaders of the Como people.

As a race living deep in the desert, although the Como people have adapted to the environment here, it has to be said that the harsh environment also hinders social development.

To this day, their social structure and productivity levels are quite backward.

In this case, their totem worship is still prevalent today.

As a race that likes dryness and warmth, the totems they worship have always been related to flames.

The appearance of the fire spirit was directly regarded as a totem by them.

Although in a sense, it is indeed a totem.

After the Fire Elves discovered that the Como people were worshiping themselves as gods, they simply took advantage of the situation and became their guardian totem. They used their own power to help the Como people solve some problems, and also used the power of the Como people to investigate for them. Questions about the source of the main spirit’s power.

Unfortunately, due to the influence of the underground city, there are also many crises in the desert.

Apart from anything else, the large worms Lu Lin and others encountered before are not uncommon in the desert.

The characteristics of that kind of bug are simply incomparable to fire spirits, and almost all their methods will only serve as nourishment for this kind of bug.

Even they themselves will be used as food by these bugs.

On the contrary, the Como people, who are thick-skinned and strong-bodied, are quite good at dealing with these things.

So to this day, these fire spirits are said to serve as the guardian totems of the Como people. In fact, they are only used when dealing with alien humans who come to cause trouble. Only then have a chance to perform.

Other times, it's more like they're under the protection of the Como people, hiding from the weird white insects that populate the desert.

how to say.

It's quite subtle.

It feels like I'm lying to a silly boy. I'm a totem in name, but I'm actually a parasite hiding in someone else's house, trembling all day long because of the white bugs outside.

Lu Lin was very puzzled. If things were like this, wouldn't Zhong QUN, a Como native: ⒐〖№㈣×∨⑧儿"涶●[⑶3崊５, not find anything wrong?"

Although these guys are backward, they are not fools, right?

After asking the ferret, he found out that the people of Como seemed to have noticed it a long time ago. The relationship between the two parties is actually very subtle now. On the surface, the fire spirit still seems to maintain the majesty of the village chief, and is still worshiped as a totem.

But in the past, they didn't have to do anything. They could just sit and enjoy it all.

But now, in order to maintain their own image and prestige, they must try their best to help the people of Como solve all the problems they cannot solve.

Especially when dealing with outsider caravans, they almost certainly have to come forward as spokespersons, and they must talk about a price that is acceptable to the people of Como, otherwise they will attract doubts.

Although there are no rumors that the Como people did anything because of their complaints against them, the fire spirits themselves are so afraid of being abandoned by these Como people that they need to face the white insects directly.

After all, the source of fear is still white worms. The characteristics of this thing are so restrained that they are regarded as natural enemies.

After chatting with Huo Ling, Lu Lin and others temporarily returned to the earth dragon.

On the one hand, he was waiting for the other party to find a guide for them. On the other hand, Lu Lin also wanted to chat with everyone about the situation here.

"Oh, I didn't expect that after so many years, something interesting would happen here," Luo Di said with emotion, "The ancient elves, even I have never seen them a few times."

"It sounds like they have a headache with white bugs," Lu Lin touched his chin, "and they will also listen to A Diao. It seems that if we can really solve this underground city, it won't be as simple as controlling the Oasis City in the future. , maybe we can directly cooperate with the entire Como ethnic group..."

"It's a good idea, but first we have to get the dungeon," Xiulinsi poured cold water on it.

"Isn't that why we came here," Lu Lin said, "The specifics are ④８＼♦2) 4⑶〃●③*=lin⑸Search∝Search] [q group: We can only know the situation after going to the scene to see it. Now It’s useless to be anxious about this. Rather than this, I’m more curious about the sudden appearance of the so-called Fire Elf Lord Spirit. Luo Di, your purpose of bringing us here has nothing to do with this, right?”

"This..." Luo Di touched his chin, "It shouldn't matter... Well, okay, I'm not sure, but this matter only needs to be discussed after the dungeon is broken ⒏=五>☆７×[ It’s useless to think about things like Liu￣枞=￣糤’[Si④ Erjiao:▲Liu＿≥qun:.”

"Will we end up in the dungeon in the end?" Lu Lin touched his chin. "The guide should be able to guarantee it. The question is what preparations are needed. By the way, Luo Di, you said you went in there back then, right? Besides those white bugs, is there any danger inside?"

"Well," Luo Di let out a long breath, leaned on the back of the chair, wiped the blood that spilled from the corner of his mouth, and then said, "Actually, the white bugs come in various forms. In fact, I We were always fighting against these bugs inside, but we were forced to leave because we couldn’t use magic and there were too many bugs.”

"However, after entering the deep layers, I did vaguely notice something, but I'm not sure if it was my illusion."

"It seems that there are humanoid beings from another world deep in the dungeon."

Chapter 411 Good shot! Go straight into the hole!

"Everyone, after the sand dune ahead is the entrance to the underground city."

The smartly dressed Como man pointed to the giant sand dune in front of him and introduced it to Lu Lin and others.

"This is my limit. The rest of the way is up to you. Again, please remember that any fluctuations in magic power may lure those monsters closer. In addition, because the density of monsters ahead is too high, even if You can’t drive away all the monsters by dispelling the surrounding magic as you are doing now, so please be careful.”

Having said that, the Como native did not give Lu Lin a chance to say anything, and directly controlled the camel under his crotch to turn around and run quickly towards the way he came.

Judging from the speed at which he was leaving, he seemed to be afraid that if he ran too slowly, he would be entangled by something dangerous.

This move indeed made people speechless, but Lu Lin could also understand why he acted like this.

Nowadays, the entire desert is under the influence of the underground city. The closer you get to the underground city, the more weird white insects there are. If you encounter small ones, it's okay to say that the Como people's weapons are enough to kill them, but If they encounter the kind of large white insects that Lu Lin and others encountered near Oasis City before, it will not be something that one or two Como people can handle.

Although it is still a few kilometers away from the distant sand dunes pointed by the other party, and no one knows how long it will take to reach the underground city after crossing the sand dunes, but even here, the density of white insects is already very high.

The reason why we haven't found them yet is because of the Como people's experience in dealing with white insects.

This bug feeds on magic power and heat, and naturally prefers environments with high magic concentration and high temperatures.

Since large-scale changes in temperature require the use of magic, creating a low-temperature environment is definitely not possible.

But through basic magic control, these Como people can still push away the surrounding magic and reduce the magic content within a kilometer nearby.

If the concentration of magic power around them decreases, the white insects will naturally not come towards them.

9 But this approach only goes so far.

Temple: "What should I say next?" Xiulinsi spoke first, "The earth dragon is a key logistical support, and its safety must be ensured."

"Let's explore the distance first. If the distance is suitable, set up a temporary camp here," Lu Lin said, looking at the ferret on his shoulder.

⑷嗷ＵＡｎQuN:陑’△九⑷⌒0×④:弎㈤%‘ Liu∵ (four “Oh, why are you asking me to run errands again?” The ferret suddenly looked disappointed.

Umbrella "Please, you are the fastest and the smallest," Lu Lin said.

"Okay, then I'll reluctantly go and take a look for you," the ferret said, turning into a stream of light and rushing out.

⒍About three minutes later, the ferret appeared among the crowd again.

⒋"How is the situation?" Xiulinsi asked quickly.

"If that disgusting Cave Mountain in the distance is what you call the underground city, it's actually about ten kilometers away from here," said the ferret, "but you can indeed see it when you get to the sand dunes, and the white insects The densest place is over the sand dunes. Of course, it’s really safe here, but it’s a bit far away.”

"Hmm... that is to say, if you want to be safe, you can set up a camp here, but if you don't want to meet too far away, it's best to get closer?" Lu Lin touched his chin.

"The best situation is to build the camp directly at the entrance of the underground city," Oro said. "This is what the Holy Cult did in the past, but we may not have this condition."

"Indeed, in addition to supporting logistics, the camp also provides support for retreat. The closer the distance, the faster we can get support during the retreat," Lu Lin touched his chin with a tangled expression, "But on the other hand, the closer the camp, the higher the cost of establishing it. The cost of guarding is higher. Our manpower is limited, so it seems we have to make compromises.

"Well, and I also want to remind you that this kind of insect is almost not afraid of any type of magic circle. It's just not realistic to build a camp based on the magic circle using traditional ideas," Xiulinsi said.

"Yes, this is also a big trouble," Lu Lin pursed his lips, "If you can't use formations, you can only use terrain, buildings, and non-magic weapons..."

"Mass-produced rifles paired with appropriate ammunition may be able to solve the weapon problem," Xiulins said. "But the ammunition still needs experimental research. This is up to you, and the garrison will also need manpower..."

"In terms of manpower, I can call a few troops over," Luo Di, who had been silent, finally interjected, "You don't have to worry about manpower and supplies to maintain the defense and operation of the camp. Wang Zhuanzhuan: I will use the resources of the exercise hall to solve the problem, including the materials needed to set up the camp. After all, this is what I asked you to help with. "

"The manpower is good, and as for the ammunition, I will go experiment after the camp is built. After the camp's defense construction is completed, it won't be too late for us to go to the underground city," Lu Lin said, "As for the terrain..."

Lu Lin looked out the window at the sand dunes.

“Speaking of which, when that guy came, did he regard the giant sand dune as a landmark? Lu Lin murmured.

"That's right, what's wrong?" Xiulinsi asked.

"Since a sand dune can become a landmark, it cannot be a living hill," Lu Lin said. "Is there a way to explore the geology beneath the dune?"

"This..." Xiulinsi thought for a while, recited a spell, released a small magic, and used the earth element to condense a small rock pangolin.

Then, she put a layer of protective magic on the pangolin's appearance and handed it to Auro.

"Do yourself a favor and throw it directly onto the dune," Xiulinsi said.

"This..." Auro looked at the ball in his hand and then at the sand dunes in the distance, "Isn't it a bit far?"

"Try it," said Xiulinsi, "It's inconvenient to use magic that will cause too much fluctuation, so this is the only way."

"Well, okay, I'll try my best," said Oro, and jumped out of the window.

He walked in front of the earth dragon, stretched his legs, raised the ball and leaned back, the whole person was like an open bow, full of strength.

The next moment, the distant rock pangolin was launched from his hand like a cannonball, flew several kilometers away, and smashed hard on the hillside of the giant sand dune in the distance.

"Fuck! So cruel!" Lu Lin was shocked, "With this move, can the pangolin still survive?"
