"Tong Ma Town?"
"Are you sure?"
Roger was shocked.
This word is not common in the common language, if Cindy is not talking nonsense...
Then this becomes interesting!
Sandy was startled, and hurriedly lowered her head, holding the brims of her hat with both hands, and said tremblingly:
"That's what they said. I checked it several times..."
Roger couldn't help but move closer.
He asked the little girl he rescued with a friendly look:
"Are you from Tongma Town?"
The little girl looked at him blankly, and it seemed that she had no intention of speaking at all.
The same goes for other kids.
Roger was a little embarrassed.
He subconsciously wanted to stretch out his right hand.
But he was soon interrupted by himself.
No matter what.
We cannot lower the intelligence of these children.
"Counting the time, it has been more than six years since I left Tongma Town..."
"If it is really the same group of people, then these children were all born after that incident."
For a while.
Roger felt mixed emotions.
I see that the children are always unwilling to communicate with me.
He wasn't going to force it.
Roger immediately took the children out of the Blood Crow Cave and escorted them to the vicinity of Martin Camp. He then let Cindy take the children in alone.
He had greeted Lawson before and told him that the kobold girl was one of his, so they were let in without much trouble.
After making sure the kids are safe for now.
Roger suddenly transformed into a storm of crows and returned to the Blood Crow Cave!
In the process of killing the Blood Crow leader.
He found a "Purgatory Bag" at the bottom of the fourth floor.
The Qi-Watching Technique is shown below.
…
"Purgatory Sac (Blood Crow): The remaining organ of the Purgatory Mother Pool. It can secrete 800~1200 Blood Crows every day depending on the situation."
…
Obviously.
This Purgatory Bag is the root cause of the rampant monsters in the Blood Crow Cave!
Roger estimated that there were many such sacs in the "Purgatory".
No wonder it can secrete endless amounts of monsters.
If only all the monsters here were as powerful as Brother Blood Crow.
Then Roger will definitely not leave!
After returning to the cave.
Roger placed 9 mushrooms in the Purgatory Bag and other strategic locations.
While ensuring vision and waiting for monsters to spawn, he was not idle either. Instead, he raised his arms and started digging deep into the cave!
…
"Digging with bare hands: You have obtained a piece of abandoned hellish red soil"
…
"You obtained iron ore (quality 4)"
…
"You have obtained the Purgatory Dog-Head Gold (Quality 9)"
…
Mining time is boring.
What's more, the mineral veins in the Blood Crow Cave are far inferior to those in Drovas. Apart from the occasional nugget of gold that looks pretty good, the rest are all crooked and rotten.
But Roger still maintains a diligent attitude.
He knows the importance of accumulation.
Of course, good mines must be dredged with great effort.
That time, nothing could be left behind.
that's all.
Time passes by little by little.
After 12 hours.
From the perspective provided by "poisonous mushrooms".
The bloody shell-shaped purgatory sac quietly opened its scarlet flesh teeth.
Wave after wave of bloody paste spurted out from it!
It sprayed all over the cave.
Roger took a closer look.
The paste struggled on the ground for a while and then fluttered into the air.
If it’s not Brother Xuewu, then who else could it be?
He patted his butt and crawled out of the hole, leisurely replenishing his strength.
Only then did they transform into a flock of crows and sink rapidly!
The killing storm is like a ruthless meat grinder.
Wherever it went, all the newly born blood crows turned into nothing.
Roger was pleased with the efficiency.
The only thing that is troublesome is.
Since Cindy was not around, Roger could only pick it up manually.
The celestial elves were so dumb that they couldn't even tell the difference between corpse waste and valuable loot.
Roger didn't trust them at all.
At this time.
Cindy's importance was highlighted again.
In his mind, Roger silently raised the priority of "finding some companions for Cindy".
Then one person started working quietly.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was four days later.
After killing the newly spawned batch of blood crows.
Roger decisively evacuated the Blood Crow Cave.
On the one hand, it was because his sixth sense vaguely detected some malicious intent.
And the Crow Saint is running out of time to transform.
On the other hand, the number of blood crows spit out by the Purgatory Bag is becoming less and less!
The numbers in the previous two days were around 1,200.
On the third day, it suddenly dropped to 500.
On the fourth day, there were only about 200 left.
Including the newly-brushed batch.
The total number of blood crows killed by Roger barely broke through the ten thousand mark.
The distance of a single flash also extends to 18 meters.
At this length, the ability to "flash" finally becomes somewhat decent.
A single flash may not be enough, but three consecutive flashes are at least 54 meters.
This has begun to have practical value in Roger's mind.
After leaving the Blood Crow Cave.
He returned the same way.
While counting the harvest of this trip.
The most valuable loot turned out to be the weapon that Cindy picked up on the first day!
…
"Crossbow of the Vile (Hand Crossbow/Superb)"
「Rating: SS+」
"Texture 12 Elasticity 9 Toughness 9 Balance 9"
…
「Special Effect 1: Super Long Range」
"Extremely long range: The effective killing distance of this weapon is up to 300 meters"
…
"Special Effect 2: Curse of the Vicious"
"Curse of the Vile: The target hit by this weapon will be infected with at least one of the following four curses:
1. Hemolytic Curse (Your health will not be restored)
2. Heart Failure Curse (Your heart will gradually weaken and eventually die)
3. Curse of No Offspring (You will lose your fertility permanently)
4. Slowness Curse (Your movements become extremely slow and your thinking speed also slows down significantly)
…
This is a very distinctive crossbow.
The attributes are mediocre.
The SS+ rating is entirely due to two special effects:
For a hand crossbow, a range of 300 meters is indeed very long.
The four curses are particularly distinctive.
"This thing is of no use to me."
"After all, I rarely use curses."
“It can only be effective in certain scenarios…”
Thinking so.
Roger casually stuffed the crossbow into the "Common Weapons Column".
Next were the two pieces of equipment he had stripped from the Blood Crow leader.
…
"Blood Crow Amulet (Accessory/Extraordinary)"
"Effect 1: Blood Crow Favorability +30"
"Effect 2: Purgatory Mantra: Corpse Explosion"
"Corpse Explosion: You will be able to control your corpse to self-explode. The damage of the corpse explosion depends on your level."
…
"Blood Black Cloak (Cloak/Extraordinary)"
"Effect 1: Blood Crow Favorability +50"
"Effect 2: Purgatory Words: Tyranny"
"Tyranny: After entering the Tyranny state, you can deal double damage to creatures that are 10 levels lower than you.
You cannot cause any damage to creatures that are 5 levels higher than you.
…
"As expected of the Purgatory Truth that has always been known for its virtue of bullying the weak and fearing the strong!"
“This is devilish…”
See here.
Roger secretly complained.
"Purgatory Words" is a spell-like power system based on evil nature.
Thanks to the strict hierarchy of Purgatory, most of the Purgatory Mantras have a glorious tradition of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
But something like "tyranny".
This is the first time I've seen Roger!
Considering that level has never been Roger's strong point, this cloak can only be thrown into the tinder bag as a figurine...
The "Blood Crow Amulet" is quite useful.
Roger put it on on the spot -
He certainly had no intention of self-destructing.
But "Plague Crow" can!
There is no limit to the number of times the Corpse Explosion Mantra can be used!
Roger can completely control the crows to try the "suicide attack + corpse explosion" tactic.
As for how powerful it is.
Then we can only wait for the actual combat test.
…
In addition to the above three pieces of equipment.
The rest are scattered iron ore, nugget gold, blood crow eyes...
Although the number is quite large.
But after seeing the wealth of the ancient dragon.
Roger has long been indifferent to both praise and criticism.
I sorted and put things away with ease.
He quickened his pace on the return journey.
Not long.
A line of red words suddenly appeared on the data column.
…
"Warning: Someone has destroyed your poisonous mushrooms!"
…
The view changes.
Roger saw a group of big demons appear in the Blood Crow Cave!
Among them there are 4 Great Devil Warlords (Lv80/Elite)!
They were searching every corner of the cave frantically.
Several mushrooms that were in obvious hiding places were destroyed.
But Roger still controls some perspectives.
What a pity.
Poisonous mushrooms cannot move.
Roger didn't know that this group of big demons came because of his massacre of the Blood Crows.
Or maybe it's because of other reasons.
"In any case, you still have to be careful."
Roger warned himself secretly.
This is the purgatory between.
The opponent is a hellish creature with a certain level of intelligence, so sometimes you can't be too greedy about its attributes!
Just think of this.
He couldn't help but deactivate the second form.
Run fast on the hill.
The power of running wildly is silently accumulating layers.
After a while.
The outline of Martin's camp lay before him.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
Just at this moment.
Such a sound came from the mountain road ahead.
But then I saw a dreamy sika deer running lightly by.
It has a pure white holy light on it.
Roger blinked.
The sika deer suddenly spread its hooves and ran wildly to the west.
It didn't get far.
Suddenly, a handsome white horse appeared behind him!
After a while.
The white horse chased the sika deer and disappeared without a trace.
Roger suddenly came back to his senses and realized that the white horse and the sika deer were not real objects, but existences observed by extraordinary perception!
on the data bar.
…
"Extraordinary Perception: You witnessed the defection of a Wild God"
…
"The God of the Wilderness's defection?"
Roger frowned, feeling heavy-hearted.
He quickly returned to Camp Martin.
I don’t know if it was his illusion.
He always felt that the barrier of the God of Wilderness outside the wall was much dimmer than before.
There was also a lingering sense of depression in the camp.
The people coming and going had no expression on their faces.
But Roger seemed to be able to see the uneasiness in their eyes.
After he went to Lawson to collect the reward for the "Blood Crow Leader".
He then brought the head of the Blood Crow leader to find the "White Horse God Servant" Dingle - the old man who had examined Roger in front of the horse statue before.
Dingle saw Roger bring back the head of the Blood Crow leader easily, but there was no surprise in his eyes.
After a simple check.
He said to Roger:
"The White Horse God will receive you, but not now."
"You may have to wait a while... tomorrow night at the latest."
"I'll let you know when the time comes."
Roger nodded.
He turned and left the Horse Square and returned to the inn where he had stayed before.
In the hotel room.
Cindy gets along well with the children.
Roger watched secretly for a while.
Quietly retreated.
He asked the innkeeper.
It was finally confirmed that "Tong Ma Town" was indeed a town within the influence of the Wilderness Temple.
That town appeared five or six years ago.
Its specific location is in the southwest hinterland, less than 60 kilometers away from Martin Camp.
…
"Tongma Town is a great place! It has a great location, and it also has the special blessing of the God of the Wilderness..."
The innkeeper said with envy:
"Unlike Camp Martin, which is the front line in the fight against the devil."
"The products there are very rich and the people are very friendly. In fact, one-third of the food for Martin Camp last year was supplied by Tongma Town."
“But this year may be different.”
Roger asked in a deep voice:
"Why is it different?"
The innkeeper sighed and said:
"There's a big problem with the road from the camp to Tongma Town. Several groups of merchants going back and forth have disappeared."
Roger frowned:
"Is it the Blood Crow's doing?"
The innkeeper shook his head:
"It is a gang of robbers who call themselves the Salvation Army."
"They attacked the camp before..."
In the innkeeper's fragmentary description.
Roger got a rough idea of ​​the matter.
turn out to be.
Not all members of the Savior Army died in the "Funeral Mountains".
Not to mention that some people should have escaped like Roger.
They originally built a base in the heart of the wilderness.
The base is located on the road between Tongma Town and Martin Camp.
After the failed attack on Martin Camp.
The Salvation Army wanted to use this to collect tolls.
Eventually, the relationship became more strained.
At present, the merchants in the camp would rather take a long detour than go to the Salvation Army base...
In the eyes of ordinary people such as innkeepers.
The actions of the Salvation Army are incredible.
Because the main theme between purgatory is that non-purgatory creatures unite to fight against the invasion of purgatory.
All non-fiendish creatures are natural allies.
A human army like the Saviors that wreaks havoc in the wilderness.
This is the first time they meet!
However, after years of consumption by the devil camp, the Wilderness Temple was already weak.
They were powerless to solve the hidden dangers of the Salvation Army.
The only way to supply Martin Camp is by taking a roundabout way.
…
After thanking the boss for the free information.
Roger sat alone in the corner, thinking quietly.
The weakness of the Wilderness Temple was beyond his imagination.
He thought that a force that had been able to contend with Purgatory for so many years must be quite capable.
But it seems now.
The reason why the Wilderness Camp was able to withstand the attack of the Blood Crow Lord.
Most of the time, this can only be done by relying on the authority given by God.
The most intuitive manifestation of this authority is the special barrier of Martin Camp.
Roger tried it secretly.
That barrier can even block "Yu Song's magic sword". It is a defensive barrier that is very sensitive to evil forces and very resilient.
The source of its power lies in the Wilderness Temple.
And this barrier can actually cover all the edges of the wilderness.
This shows the extraordinary power.
on the other hand.
The ratio of the number of professionals at each level in the wilderness camp is also very interesting.
Martin Camp has a population of no more than two thousand people.
But Roger has seen hundreds of extraordinary people in the camp!
This ratio is outrageous.
I found out after asking around.
All professionals in this place are eligible to apply for a "divine power infusion" from the God of the Wilderness after reaching the bottleneck.
This infusion of divine power made it much easier for them to advance to the extraordinary level.
But the value is greatly reduced as a result.
Most of these extraordinary people only have extraordinary bodies and level 51 strength.
And combined with the intelligence obtained in these days.
Roger also took the opportunity to guess the level of the God of Wilderness - around level 89.
The "Blood Crow Lord" who is obviously a level higher than them is very likely a level 99 or 100 boss!
The reason why it can't be higher is because this is a secondary plane!
All minor planes have lower level ceilings than the Material Plane.
Roger was told by his perception these days.
The level cap of "Between Purgatory" is stuck on the edge of upgrading.
This means that even if the Blood Crow Lord has collected 0.5 of the rank, he cannot break through!
Unless he can leave this world.
"No wonder it keeps attacking desperately."
"Only when this place is completely included in the territory of Purgatory can it have a chance to be upgraded."
Roger's thinking became clearer and clearer.
He gradually realized.
Purgatory is actually a sub-plane that is very suitable for me.
There are monsters here that provide good attributes.
There is a level cap locked in the upgrade.
He is practically invincible here!
This made him silently change his plan of "making a quick buck and running away".
Before finding the reincarnation of Mystra.
It's not a bad idea to develop for a while longer.
…
…
The next day at noon.
The servant of the White Horse God sent someone to deliver the notice of the reception.
Roger immediately rushed to the White Horse Temple in the north of the camp.
The temple is located on a mountain that towers into the clouds.
The terrain here is rugged and sparsely populated.
The old man leading the way walked with great difficulty.
40 minutes later.
Under his guidance, Roger slowly stepped into the deserted temple gate.
It was beyond his expectation.
An older woman in a white dress walked out of the door.
She has a beautiful face and a dignified temperament.
The edges of the simple and elegant dress were filled with layers of pure white holy light.
Just one glance.
Roger recognized her identity——
God of the White Horse!
After a simple ceremony.
Dingle bowed and retreated.
The only two people left in the temple were the White Horse God and Roger.
The voice of the White Horse God was solemn and dignified, with a tone that could not be disobeyed:
"I saw you in the countryside."
“You are powerful.”
"The most powerful...traveler I have ever seen?"
Roger smiled.
There is no need to pretend in front of such a perceptive innate divine being.
So he said frankly:
"I am here for the gods."
The White Horse God nodded:
"It is true."
"Unfortunately, the gods haven't responded to our prayers for many years. Your wish will most likely be in vain."
Roger asked quickly:
"What is the situation of the gods now?"
The White Horse God shook his head and said:
“I’m not sure about the details.”
"But the power of the Wilderness Temple is weakening, and the four great devils are constantly encroaching on our land...but He has never shown up. This is not a good sign."
"Hundreds of years ago, the bridge leading to the Cage Island broke overnight. Now no one knows his condition."
"Cage Island?"
Roger wondered.
The God of White Horse was unwilling to elaborate on this topic.
She took two steps back and said modestly:
"I am grateful that you killed the Blood Crow leader. That monster murdered many children."
"But compared to the four evil devils who committed numerous crimes, the Blood Crow leader is just a small character."
"If you can kill one of the four demons, I will offer you my "Heart of the Wilderness" with both hands; if you want to repair the bridge to the Cage Island, then six Hearts of the Wilderness are indispensable."
"besides……"
The God of White Horse spoke a lot of words one after another.
Roger extracted two sets of key information from it:
…
One.
The god in the eyes of the God of Wilderness.
It once appeared in the northern forbidden area - Cage Island.
The bridge leading to the forbidden area has been broken for many years.
In order to repair the bridge, one must collect something called the 'Heart of the Wilderness'.
This thing is now in the hands of the six gods of the wilderness.
…
Second.
The Wilderness Temple is in dire condition.
Two of the original six gods of the wilderness fell and two rebelled.
Now only 'White Horse' and 'Quetzalcoatl' are left.
The Purgatory side is strong in both men and horses.
There is not only the Blood Crow Lord.
There are also four great demons and the God of the Wilderness who rebelled against the past.
The next 'Extremely Evil Blood Wuji' will be a moment of life and death for the wilderness.
…
"No wonder she came to me so bluntly."
Roger thought.
As far as he knew, the gods of the wilderness were all "animal spirits" that formed naturally between heaven and earth.
Therefore, their appearance is that of animals.
Their power comes from the faith of believers in them.
therefore.
The God of the Wilderness is basically a simple-minded and kind-hearted being.
They are the few trustworthy practitioners of the Kingdom of God.
However, facing the commission from the White Horse God.
Roger did not agree immediately, but responded cautiously:
"I don't know much about the four devils. Only after I have a complete grasp of their intelligence will I consider whether to accept this commission."
The White Horse God said cheerfully:
"I can tell you everything I know."
"My intuition tells me that you are not a bad person, so I am happy to answer your questions."
"As long as you can help us..."
Then, she began to talk incessantly about the four great devils.
Roger listened quietly.
Until the end.
He nodded solemnly:
"I see. I'll try."
"But before that, I have to do one more thing."
"By the way, I saved a few children when I was hunting down the Blood Crow leader. Could you please send someone to look after them?"
…
…
Half a day later.
On the Blue Mountain Trail west of Martin Camp.
A shadow flashed by at high speed.
The mountains on both wings retreated madly.
There were large roadblocks at the intersection ahead.
Before Roger could get close.
He saw patrolling soldiers from the Salvation Army!
These people look listless.
But there are a lot of people.
A set of "True Sight Gems" was arranged very luxuriously at the entrance of the base.
This made Roger sigh at the financial resources of the Salvation Society.
"Sure enough, he and Weilan are birds of a feather."
"You've plundered so much of the people's wealth but you don't do anything to help them..."
Thinking so.
Roger didn't get close to the base.
Instead, he quickly moved towards the mountain in the northwest.
That is the highest point in this area.
The Salvation Army set up a four-man team to guard the area.
These people have a good sense of crisis.
It’s a pity that the strength is much worse.
To avoid alerting the enemy.
Roger didn't take action immediately.
Instead, he found a blind spot at the foot of the peak and calmly observed the situation at the Salvation Army base.
…
In Roger's opinion.
The Salvation Army is the biggest variable in Purgatory.
These guys are useless against the Blood Crow Lord.
But he is good at dragging down the wilderness.
After all, it was they who initiated this expedition.
Roger wanted to get more information about this "Expedition to Mystra" from them.
The most important thing.
He wanted to confirm whether Quinan would send reinforcements!
If any.
How many reinforcements are there?
even……
Will Weilan come in person?
…
He must figure these things out and then get rid of this cancer that is stuck in the wilderness.
This way he can deal with the Blood Crow Lord with peace of mind.
But just watched for a while.
Roger felt half relieved.
The atmosphere inside the Salvation Army base was terrible.
There were only about 1,000 ordinary soldiers left, and most of them looked demoralized.
Several senior members of the Third Legion survived the battlefield.
Relying on their past majesty, they can still control the situation .
But once they fell, the soldiers would disperse.
Then this obstacle will no longer exist.
Just think of this.
Roger didn't hesitate any longer.
He leaned against the rock and stretched out his hands into the air, hurry up!
…
"Spell-like: Lava Jet"!
…
Long, thin streams of lava spurted out from Roger's fingertips.
The lives of those four unlucky guys were killed silently.
The next moment.
He climbed up the mountain smoothly.
Night slowly falls.
Cindy came out leisurely and started picking up things.
And Roger took out a big guy in lightning speed!
…
"Ammunition Expert: 'Halo' is ready, 12/12 bullets, ready to shoot at any time"
…
Click, click.
On top of the mountain.
The two-meter-long sniper rifle is in place.
The night wind suddenly rose.
In Roger's field of vision.
The canvas tents are connected into a dense yellow.
Next second.
A cross suddenly appeared in his pupils.
Along with this process.
Roger couldn't help but murmur:
"Let me see through..."
The word "see" has not yet come out of his mouth.
on the data bar.
…
"Hint: Pupil Technique: Absolute Insight is in effect..."
…
"Kill Order: Successfully locked on target 'Simons' (Savior Society member/Elite Mage/Lv69)"
…
"Hurtful words: Your XP +2"
…
"ah?"
Roger was slightly stunned.
Is this considered a dirty word?
At that moment, he glanced at Simmons' head and rubbed Cindy next to him with his knee:
"You can curse a little too."
Cindy was stunned:
"Do you have to scold me?"
Roger aimed carefully:
"certainly."
“You have to develop good habits.”
Cindy held it in for a long time, until her face turned red, and then she suddenly yelled in frustration:
"Bad guy!"
"Big bad guy!"
"A heartless villain!"
Roger glanced at the data column silently, his smile becoming a little unfriendly:
"You're not cursing the enemy, are you?"
Cindy was suddenly speechless.
It opened its mouth, about to explain something -
But then there was a muffled 'bang' sound!
A slightly pungent smell came over.
In an inconspicuous tent in the center of the Salvation Army base.
The middle-aged wizard's head disappeared!
…
“Why are there women in the Salvation Army?”
Roger grunted.
After putting away the halo.
He disappeared on the top of the mountain.
on the data bar.
…
"Kill Order: You have obtained the feat of Spell Delay from Simmons. After testing, this feat is found to be invalid. Do you want to convert it into a valid feat?"
…
"Um?"
"What feat can spell delay be transformed into?"
Roger fell into thought.
…
