Chapter 485

Due to the sense of urgency, the treasure hunting team took a short break at noon that day, and took a bite of dry food and water to deal with it, and lunch was solved.

Originally, it was planned to complete this journey in two days. Now with the parasitic puppet as a laborer, the group is able to complete the two-day journey in one day.

Of course, hard work and taking risks are inevitable.

The Rift Mountain Canyon arrived shortly after noon. The slope of the canyon is nearly 90°, and the terrain looks extremely dangerous. It really looks like several connected mountains were split by great power. It is said that this is the work of gods, but people in the extraordinary circle do not think this is the truth.

It is not to do it, but the cost is too high. What is the point?

Hei Luobo also recognizes the relevant thinking angles of extraordinary people.

The legends of mortals focus on romance, epics, magic, and fairy tales, while extraordinary people pay more attention to relatively rational concepts such as interests and purposes. It can only be said that distance is a major factor in maintaining mystery. The closer and more understanding, the more realistic, the more vulgar, and the more there is a sense of "nothing new under the sun".

Next, it was Lei Sili's turn to perform.

She skillfully instructed the parasitic puppet to clear a piece of land.

There was no snow, no big rocks, and it was relatively flat, about three square meters.

Then she took out the spellcasting materials and drew a magic circle on the ground.

There was no other way. Except for places like Caiwu Island, the free extraordinary factors in most areas of this world did not support the extraordinary energy consumption of high-level spells.

Then it had to be expended by the spellcaster.

What's more, the laws of heaven are distorted, and the applicability of common sense is greatly reduced.

Although common sense is reliable in most cases and in most areas, the extraordinary people dare not gamble!

After all, the backlash of high-level spells, even if it is not directly fatal, is permanent damage, or it requires the consumption of expensive life-saving tools, which is not affordable.

Therefore, the way of using one's own magic power to provoke the extraordinary power in nature to cast spells has gradually withdrawn from the stage.

Today's strange people cast spells by either relying on their own mana or on external objects of the extraordinary series, such as magic tools, alchemical items, potions, etc.

And no matter which one, it can be converted into money, or the currency of the extraordinary circle.

After all, it is basically impossible to recover mana after consumption from nature.

Wild strange people are increasingly lacking in technologies such as the Eastern fantasy "Gathering Spirits Formation". This is also a major reason why powerful extraordinary organizations and individuals can grasp the pulse of the extraordinary circle and gradually solidify the class.

The free extraordinary factors between heaven and earth are only enough for some humans to complete the awakening of blood and obtain the talent of using extraordinary power. If you want to make progress, then the resources you need can only be exchanged, bought, stolen, or robbed.

Hei Luobo speculated that the reason why the wild strange people in this world are still active is probably because the top streamers in the extraordinary circle know that they cannot take all the benefits, and it is better to open up than to block the opposition forces.

It is easier to take the initiative, and it is more convenient to monitor and use.

But ruling is a complex technical work. Standing in different positions, the angles of attention and willingness to exert efforts are also different.

To describe it with that classic stalk: I haven't gotten on the bus yet!

Yes! It is unreasonable to let people who are often hungry have the awareness of those who have no worries about food and clothing.

What's more interesting is that it's okay to never taste the sweetness in your life, but if you have tasted it but it is not given, you will not be able to ask for it and feel unhappy.

Therefore, the sincere kindness released at the top of the ruling pyramid, after layers of deductions, often becomes a kind of almost humiliating charity at the bottom, which cannot solve practical problems and will only make the people below feel more angry. -

I'm going too far.

As a magic singular, Lei Sili is obviously used to being responsible for her own profits and losses. Let's not talk about her magic circle technology.

In terms of controlling resource costs, she is really exquisite.

In any case, in Hei Luobo's eyes, it is impossible for him to copy and execute it to save more than Lei Sili.

This kind of saving includes the calculation after clarifying the purpose.

For example, Lei Sili was able to grasp the details of teleporting 100 meters and 120 meters, and the resources were very accurate.

Then, just like a projectile, with a light sound of "!", Lei Sili crossed the canyon of more than 200 meters wide in a parabola and reached the other side.

Even if the specific speed is not as fast as the solid shells of old-fashioned artillery, it is faster than the crossbow arrows.

There is a reason for choosing such a speed instead of sliding down.

Even so, Lei Sili only ensured that she could successfully cross without any interception by relying on suddenness.

But it still inevitably caused trouble.

A strange bird with a wingspan of about one meter and a body weight similar to that of a wild duck, "Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!" shot up from the bottom of the canyon. The momentum was like dozens of honeycomb rockets firing at the same time.

These strange birds with long beaks like pterosaurs still use the principle of variable-wing fighters. When they are jetting up at high speed in groups, they are in the swept-wing state, and when they fly into the air and cruise, they are gliders.

When the target is selected and dived, the wings are swept back.

Their strength lies in the ability to lock the sights, similar to the helmet aiming first realized by the MiG-29 among the three-generation fighters on Earth. As long as the sights can be fixed on the target, it is a sure hit.

Another sharp point is the speed change in the last stage, just like the nitrogen speed increase of a modified racing car, which can suddenly increase the speed by 30%-50%. This speed change is used in the last two or three seconds, which can often effectively disrupt the target's defense or evasion rhythm.

Of course, it mainly relies on quantity. Heavy crossbow arrows with intelligent tracking effects pour down like heavy rain and ice.

It is indeed very threatening.

However, the treasure hunting team's intelligence work was in place and they had a relatively complete understanding of the habits and characteristics of the "Arrow Rain Bird" in advance, so they threw out poisonous baits one after another.

These poisonous baits are specially made magic potions that can stay in the air for a long time like dry fish food suspended in water.

And their attraction to the Arrowbird is completely irresistible.

Those who successfully fly for food will certainly die from poisoning, but more often they will be injured or killed because the formation is disrupted and the speed is too fast, causing a series of car crashes in the air.

That scene, apart from the tragedy, was really unique, emotional and exciting.

After causing a series of traffic accidents on a highway-like foggy day, the Arrow Rainbirds were still a little unconvinced. After completing their circling formation in the sky, they crashed down like hail again.

The members of the treasure hunting team repeated their old tricks, but the result was not much different from before. Another batch of Arrow Birds were injured and killed.

At this time, the Arrow Rainbirds couldn't hold on any longer and rushed into the misty canyon like an ebbing tide and disappeared.

Old Molin glanced at the number of injured and dead Arrow Birds on the ground and said, "It's not bad. Only if we die a few more will they be afraid of us."

Hei Luobo said nothing. At this time, just trust the professionals.

So, after Hogan replenished the resources of the magic circle with the help of old Maureen, he was guided by Leisi Li and launched across the canyon.

Immediately afterwards, the Arrow Bird soared into the sky again, and struck twice, both of which ended in a tragic man-made series of collisions.

Hei Luobo made a rough calculation and found that the Arrow and Rain Birds had lost thousands of members before they were completely dead and flopping on the snow.

Old Molin said it was okay, the Arrow Rain Bird's losses exceeded one-tenth of its total mobilization.

However, there is no rush to cross the canyon, these arrow rain birds can still harvest a wave of materials.

Specifically, they are feathers. There is a spiritual feather in each of their left and right wings. If it is not broken accidentally, it will be an extraordinary material that can be sold at a high price.

But Hei Luobo can use more.

What he did was covert enough to separate the blood snakes from the ground and pierce the corpse upwards, squeezing out the remaining vitality and extraordinary elements.

Old Molin and the others also knew that the bird's beak, meat, and even down were actually valuable for harvesting.

The problem is, closely related to picking is cost.

In the current situation, there is no way for them to make money properly. Just like the common situation in real society, the poorer they are, the more unable they are to save money, so they can only give up.

Heiluobo, on the other hand, has a higher lower limit due to its technical advantages. It has channels to purchase shoes and socks at wholesale prices. Not only is the price cheap, but it can also be replaced reasonably. Not only does it always give outsiders a new look, but it is not easy to be tight. It is an economical and cost-effective type that quickly consumes the life of items due to use.

After harvesting like this, the previous consumption of creating parasitic puppets has been repaid with profits.

The Arrow Rain Bird suffered too many casualties and did not dare to send out again for a while.

The treasure hunting team can easily cross the steep mountain canyon.

While Old Maureen and Black Lobo were harvesting bird carcasses, Harold had already brought the parasitic puppet to cooperate with Hogan on the other side of the canyon to complete the erection of the temporary ropeway.

Next, the luggage and people here will complete the crossing via zip lines.

It can only be said that Old Maulin was very familiar with the wisdom and habits of the Arrow Bird. Later, the zipline crossing the canyon was without any surprises. There really was no flock of Arrow Birds. As they passed slowly, When in the canyon, take the opportunity to make a surprise attack.

After successfully crossing the canyon, Black Robber took a few glances at the Sith Iron-Feathered Eagle in the sky, which was more than a thousand meters high. With his current eyesight, he could only see a small black dot.

Old Maureen, who assisted Hogan in collecting the zip line, stuffed the prepared zip line into his bag and said in a low voice: "A scholar lives and a statue dies. Although the Arrow Bird is stupid, the tricks we used can't do it." It won't take long to use again and again.

These arrow rain birds can understand the taste.

I do hope that our competitors can learn from us through the Iron Feathered Eagle, and the Arrow Rain Bird will surprise them. "

"That's it, that's not bad -" Hei Luobo glanced at the mist-shrouded canyon, put down his thirst for knowledge, and turned his attention to the next journey.

Because the team had heavy-duty coolies and because of the invisible pressure from competitors, the road across the split mountain canyon was tighter than originally planned.

What originally took two days is now completed in one day.

Therefore, there are still some challenges to face on the road ahead.

One hour before dark, we have to rush to the scheduled location A.

The closer you get to the natural treasure house, the closer you get to the former center of the elven kingdom, the World Tree.

The so-called natural treasure house is an area where extraordinary resources are concentrated after the World Tree was destroyed, and the remnants of its power formed over thousands of years.

And the closer you get here, the more powerful the elves' curse becomes.

On the contrary, the corresponding information mastery has become scarce and vague.

Therefore, before dark at location A, even if there is a problem at location A and it is not as good as expected, there is still a chance to implement Plan B.

Without this error tolerance, it would really be a matter of fortune.

After Hei Luobo learned about this situation, he didn't say anything, but in his heart he became more vigilant because of his bad luck.

One is on the road, and the other is whether point A and point B are suitable for camping. Murphy's Law may appear again, and the probability is not small.

Because in his opinion, the Rift Valley is actually a place suitable for coincidences caused by bad luck.

When the people who came later slid through the valley relatively slowly like luggage bags, due to some coincidences, the Arrow Rain Bird flew up into the sky for the third time against the norm, immediately trapping the people who passed the valley.

However, the final result was that this reasonable coincidence of bad luck was not triggered.

Then he could only suspect that bad luck would break out in the future, or that bad luck would choose a more threatening way to show his fate curse and the harm to his teammates.

What would it be?

Hei Luobo once wanted to ask Lao Morin what obstacles he had encountered in their prior intelligence investigation.

Later, he thought about it and gave up.

One is that Harold and his team said when they were recruiting new people in Oren Town that the Rift Valley was a watershed, and those who successfully crossed the ridge were rare, and those who escaped unscathed were even fewer.

This led to the intelligence there being sold at a high price, and the credibility was questionable.

Therefore, the treasure hunting team does not have such a surplus of funds, and is unwilling to spend too much of this kind of money, so they only collect relatively general information and then make their own estimates.

This also means that he can't get much truly valuable information now, and it is easy to fall into the knowledge barrier.

Second, a hundred tricks, one punch to crush them, with his legendary strength, he feels that he can handle any situation.

Even if saints gather and angels descend, he can just be shameless and abandon his teammates and run away.

His sense of morality is actually very low. It seems that his bottom line is flexible at ordinary times, but in fact it is because many things are either free of cost or easy for him. For the sake of profit, he doesn't mind establishing a friendly personality.

If there is really a test of human nature, then I can only say sorry for disappointing everyone.

Of course, generally he will get back today's place after he becomes stronger, and often return it several times.

It's not that he feels guilty and wants to avenge his companions, that's just a side thing. Mainly, this kind of embarrassment to the weak was regarded as a serious humiliation and provocation by him. If you do it on the first day, I will do it on the fifteenth. If you kill someone, you will be killed. I can play it, and I hope you can do it too. That's it.

Black Robo, who is kind on the outside but cruel on the inside and cold-hearted, secretly prepared for the loss of a super-high-level fight.

After all, the night he stayed in the bear cave, he saw the combat power that seemed to be the ceiling level of this area. Legendary monsters and evil spirits.

Although he didn't look very smart and was deceived by the elven tapestry, if he met on a narrow road, he would not turn a blind eye.

He is greedy and vicious. When ordinary people meet an enemy, they can often accept the result of defeating and retreating the enemy more easily, especially after the high level, they basically have life-saving skills. It is not so easy to completely wipe them out, not to mention that they don't know much about the opponent's methods when they first meet.

Black Robo is not like this. His arrogance and his experience make him accustomed to taking away in one wave.

Taking away the opponent in one wave naturally has many benefits, relatively few troubles, and it also greatly avoids the spread of information about one's own abilities and means, so that one can play a new trick again and again.

But the problem is that the combat power is not strong enough, but the mind is still full of such ideas, which is really greedy. Hei Luobo himself is actually aware of this problem of his own.

But he is used to it, it is difficult to change, and he does not want to change.

After all, similar path dependence has not been lost, even the dark god Essos is still a strategy of swallowing in one bite.

And even if he was surrounded by the ghost emperor, he still showed a stubborn attitude of eating a bowl, and he would not let go if he bit it. This is why the current advent bet.

In short, he knew there was a problem and was willing to gamble even though he was not severely taught a lesson on this issue.

Of course, he does not think this is purely a face-to-face bet on luck.

On the contrary, he thinks the technical content is quite high.

For example, he can retreat technically.

Just like what he did in Olde, after provoking the Saint, he finally chose to give up the risk.

It was similar in Lamas of Stonevania in the Kingdom of Irulan. Knowing that he was entangled in bad luck,

he found that there was a supernatural power behind Lamas and the Ice Wind Cold Belt that was far beyond his expectations, so he stayed away again.

But the blessing of bad luck is not endless. Especially since his own strength and rank are high, if he wants to give a significant negative impact, the consumption will be greater.

It's like holding a stone and holding a mountain, the difficulty is definitely not the same.

What's more, this time he is borrowing chickens to lay eggs, and the plan is for the treasure hunting team, and he is just a participant.

This means that if bad luck wants to be blessed to a sufficient amount, it needs a more tortuous path and greater consumption.

He is still willing to try to collide with the influence of bad luck after this multiple reverse leverage. After all, this is equivalent to the gods being unable to take action personally, and spending huge sums of money to repeatedly reduce the ability of the agent to meet a certain standard.

This kind of bet, which would make the gods lose everything if they failed miserably, and which he couldn't afford even if he had a mine at home, of course he was willing to try.

What else?

His purpose was to take risks and stir up trouble, to take risks and win, to win big with a small investment, and to take action when necessary, which was obviously fine.

So when should he take action?

He thought about it, and it was probably about time this time.

It all depended on who should be blamed, the evil snake god here, or the treasure hunter competitor who was chasing him closely, or both——
