Volume 2 Before the Disaster Chapter 203 Hot Springs
Shadow Valley, a hidden training base.
In the dense forest, a number of animated dummies with stiff movements are constantly walking.
These action dummies are products of alchemy, used to simulate the actions of real people.
There was a green light flashing on their bodies.
Once an enemy approaches and is detected by their senses, the green light will turn into red.
This means the mission failed.
In the sky, a dark cloud slowly floated over.
In the bushes, a short figure quietly began his actions as the dark cloud passed by.
A few minutes later, the dark clouds completely passed over the jungle.
At the exit of the jungle, Isabel slowly appeared.
An instructor was waiting for her at the exit.
He calculated the time silently. Although he tried his best to hide his surprise, it still showed on his face involuntarily .
Sixteen low-level activity dummies were all dealt with in seven minutes without triggering any alarm!
Such strength is simply not something a first-level little girl should possess, right? !
However, he has trained countless talented assassins. Although Isabel's performance is shocking, it is not unprecedented.
However, what the instructor didn't know was that the little girl had been following Marvin's instructions and no longer used the unique abilities of the Harmon people.
Instead, he relied on his talent in the assassin profession to train.
In fact, once she used the unique talent of the Harmon people, it might not take even half a minute to knock down these moving dummies!
This is the most terrifying thing about her.
"You have passed the first round of training. If I were to give you a grade, your rating would be [Excellent]."
The instructor said in a deep voice.
Isabel raised her head: "Why not [perfect]?"
The instructor's mouth twitched slightly. "Because in the previous training camp, you injured too many students with potential. Some of them have even begun to have a shadow on this profession. They may never have the confidence to be an assassin again in their lives."
"It's not my fault." Isabel said calmly: "They slandered Lord Marvin. They said he was dead. I should kill them."
The instructor frowned. The little girl's tone was so calm, but it gave him a strong sense of pressure.
If there hadn't been an extremely strict order from above, he would have definitely taught this ignorant little girl a lesson.
Unfortunately, all this only exists in his mind.
The little girl has a prominent background and is said to be closely related to the currently popular Viscount Marvin.
"Okay. That's the end of that matter."
"No matter what, you are all assassin apprentices from the same batch. You need to help each other."
"Go find Lamar. He has something for you. It is said that it was given to you by Viscount Marvin."
Isabel's eyes suddenly lit up:
"Is it a gift from Lord Marvin?"
…
In the dark cave, Marvin moved forward cautiously.
After the initial excitement passed, Marvin's mentality began to stabilize.
He knew he had to be patient.
He is actually a person who likes adventure very much. For many people, darkness means fear; but for Marvin, darkness represents infinite possibilities.
In his previous life, he had ventured into the dungeon many times, and most of the time he was alone.
He really enjoyed this feeling of being alone.
And the dangerous underground world can also give him more stimulation.
There are crises everywhere.
You have to be careful, otherwise you will die accidentally.
Marvin walked all the way, and in less than half a day, he had already avoided a tribe of fungus people, a road demon and a carnivorous plant!
This is entirely due to the talent of the Night Walker.
Darkvision allows him to thrive in the underground world, which is more reliable than the drow's infrared vision.
The Fungus Tribe should not be underestimated. These little guys are always quarreling. Although their own fighting power is average, they can easily attract other monsters nearby.
The road demon and the carnivorous plant are both very terrifying creatures in themselves.
The road demon likes to disguise itself as a flat road. When you accidentally step on it, you will find yourself in the mouth of a demon!
The same goes for the underground Piranha Plant.
These creatures were extremely terrifying, and Marvin would not take the initiative to provoke them. After all, he was not here to explore underground, his destination was the Rocky Mountain.
Walking through the Sage Desert, even with a good guide, it would take at least a month to cross the desert and reach the Rocky Mountain.
The path Marvin chose would greatly shorten the time.
Of course, the danger will also be greatly increased.
The main theme of the dark world is always the survival of the fittest.
But the good news is that although the road he chose is underground, it is actually quite far away from the real underground world.
That underground river actually just runs straight across the Sage Desert.
Overall, it's safe. Just stay alert.
…
Marvin walked along the path under the black cave for about six hours and finally heard the sound of water.
He followed the route he remembered, passing through one small cave after another.
In the process, he accidentally disturbed the feeding of a poisonous lizard. Faced with the latter's revenge, Marvin could only wield a knife to meet it.
Half a minute later, Marvin killed the poisonous lizard with his superb knife skills, and not a drop of the venom splashed on Marvin.
This is the benefit of having rich combat experience.
Of course, it was also due to his super high agility and demon-binding footwork.
After killing the poisonous lizard, Marvin finally arrived safely at the underground river.
The underground river is actually very narrow and the water flows fast. It is more like a stream than a river.
That's why it's safe.
If it is a real large underground river, it might contain the terrifying [Bent-dwelling Demon Fish] or other large underwater monsters.
None of these monsters are the ones Marvin wants to encounter now. They are often very difficult to deal with because they are natural predators. When they launch a surprise attack, even the warning capabilities of the Night Walkers or Rangers may not be enough to cope with them.
Marvin reached the river safely.
He had to spend the next week with the river, which was a rather boring time.
But it's better than walking through the desert.
He took out a small golden bull from the conch of the void and then recited .
In a moment, the bull suddenly became larger, almost the shape of a canoe.
This is the golden bull that Marvin got from the underground granary. He asked an unknown alchemist to solidify a shrinking and magnifying technique on it. He originally wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect this guy to actually figure it out for him.
It is also a classic enchantment that can be used multiple times.
The food in Taurus' stomach had been emptied, so Marvin simply used it as a means of transportation. At least it was very useful when crossing the river.
Gently pushing the bull into the water, Marvin jumped in!
The cold water vapor came towards them, and under the acceleration of the water flow, the Taurus canoe produced by the Twin Snakes Cult moved rapidly and rushed far away in the blink of an eye!
…
Taurus continued to move forward in the dark river. Marvin also kept his attention.
When you feel tired, just hook a rock with the Ruyi rope, find a secluded place to rest and take a nap.
When you are hungry or thirsty, eat some dry food and drink some water.
Marvin hasn't experienced a day like this for a long time.
He missed this kind of solitary adventure life. Although it was boring, it made people more sober.
Although there are no large monsters in the dark river, there are still many small monsters.
Fortunately, the water flow was fast, and many times, Marvin whizzed past them and they didn't have time to react.
The only trouble Marvin encountered was with a Green-footed Dragon Snake that was drinking water by the river.
This guy directly stopped Marvin's Taurus.
Marvin originally thought it would be a fierce battle, but he didn't expect that this guy hesitated and let him go.
It spoke some common underground language, but before Marvin could understand it, it was washed away by the river along with the Taurus.
However, according to Marvin's judgment, this guy probably let him go because of his title of Dragon Slayer.
It is well known that the Green-footed Dragon Snake hates dragon creatures very much, and Marvin just happens to have the breath of a dead dragon.
Probably because he believed that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, he did not make things difficult for Marvin.
Of course, Marvin thought that the most crucial reason was the two or three dead lizards lying beside him.
Given that there is enough food, it is obviously unwise to rashly go to war with an enemy of unknown strength.
Marvin luckily avoided another fight.
Green-footed dragon snakes are very troublesome creatures. Their skin is tough and it is difficult for Marvin to hurt them unless he transforms into Anzura Man-Bear.
And underground, the combat effectiveness of the Anzuran Bear will be greatly limited.
…
In short, after almost a week of thrilling water journey, Marvin successfully landed on a river beach.
Put away the Taurus, and you will have to walk the next part of the journey.
This place is very close to the Rocky Mountain. Even though it is an underground kingdom, it is still on the edge of the wilderness. There are often wild and strange species here, so we have to be careful.
And the hot spring that Marvin planned to visit is also nearby.
This hot spring has a magical effect that can greatly improve a person's physique. Marvin knows that the effect is the fragment of the [Earth Crystal] at the bottom of the hot spring.
According to the results of Marvin's previous life experiments, after a person soaks in this hot spring for a period of time, their physical fitness will randomly increase by one to two points.
This is a very rare benefit.
The only pity is that this hot spring is not ownerless.
There is a family of Deinoclaw monsters entrenched near the hot springs, and their leader, the female Deinoclaw monster that has become a spirit, is a mutant template plus an elite template.
In his previous life, Marvin had battled wits and courage with her, and it took him a long time to deal with her.
But this time he came prepared, so it should be a lot easier.
I silently estimated the distance, and my listening skills were always kept open.
At this moment, a slight and harsh sound reached Marvin's ears!
