The bottom of the lake was pitch black, but there weren't any living things. It was obvious that those who dared to approach were devoured by Haiqimjia, who wanted to protect the eggs. Although Fang Senyan and the reef have no experience in underwater diving at all, Wu Gemei can directly enter the 3D mode of detecting plants, and under her leadership, she swam through the maze-like underground water veins and re-swimmed. In the lake that was called "Carndum" by the half-orcs at that time.
At this time, Sheyan and Jiaoshi realized that the temperature of the lake had dropped significantly. Obviously, the injury of the Balrog had triggered a chain reaction. It began to absorb the heat from the ground crazily to heal its injuries, which naturally caused the temperature at the bottom of the lake to drop rapidly. Those strange strange fish also began to wander over cautiously and greedily, and some hungry guys even started to attack Senyan.
But because of Miss Wuge, the giant brachiopod earthworms that were the most threatening were just swimming around curiously, which saved Sheyan and the others from too much trouble.
Apparently, the previous octopus monster Haichimga has fought against the Balrog more than once, so a small amount of its eggs should have been washed into the lake along the flood, and during the process of decay, it affected and polluted the creatures in the lake , making them mutate into what they are now, and the bodies of these mutated creatures are also "polluted" by the Hachimga gene, so the big octopuses regard them as "our own people" and will not kill them, so they make them properties remain high.
Fortunately, although the strength of Sheyan and Jiaoshi has declined at this time, there is an extra dawn elf to escort them, and Wuge girl does not hurt them, and there are a lot of green silk algae growing around her with every gesture. Hair generally flows. Once a strange fish approaches, it will separate a group of green silk algae to block their mouths, forcing these guys to flee in a panic.
After the three of them landed, they were of course stunned by the plague land that was burned to a white ground in front of them. Even Sheyan didn't expect that Saruman would resort to such a vicious trick in order to transition to this ghostly place safely.
According to Fang Senyan's speculation, the water veins below the Plaguelands are probably connected to a long-term dwelling lair in Haiqimga. The body fluid secretions secreted by this huge octopus also have a huge magical effect. After mixing in the water, The roots of the pine trees growing here are continuously sucked up like a water pump and soaked into the soil, so when there is sun, it will cause people to enter a fatal hallucination.
A group of people continued to move forward and saw the scene of the previous collapsed avalanche. They couldn't help sighing, feeling as if they had passed away, because the orc tribe who had poured out of the snow valley had already stepped on a broad road, so the three of them did not. The danger of leaving footprints to be discovered. After walking about ten kilometers ahead, they could see the orc camp with a huge white beehive appearing in front of everyone.
At this moment, the three of them had two choices. One was to turn left, which was to return to the orc camp, and the other was to turn right, which naturally left this damned place. Sheyan thought for a while and said seriously:
"Wuge, do you really have the ability to survive at a critical moment?"
Wu Song nodded seriously. Sheyan handed the package of animal skins on his shoulders to the reef, which contained the plundered Egg of Hachimja, then looked at him and said:
"It seems that it's time for us to break up here. Now is a golden opportunity. There is an unprecedented emptiness in this orc camp. I guess most of the people inside have been taken away by Saruman's clone. Because Saruman The intention of the avatar this time is huge, so it is inevitable that it will use the last bit of power in its hands—even the old, weak, sick and disabled can be used as cannon fodder. So I think there is a great possibility of reaping great benefits. "
Reef nodded and said:
"Understood, am I the remaining insurance?"
"That's right, you have the blessing of the Dawn Fairy on you, and goodness can be integrated with nature, so as long as you enter a place with lush vegetation, the chance of encountering danger will be greatly reduced. At this time, there is still a long time before the blessing of the Dawn Fairy fades away." It's early." Sheyan said calmly:
"Your existence is my trump card to take risks boldly."
Jiao Shi also smiled. He has always been a very serious person, but now the smile is on his face, and he also has a different kind of calmness and heartiness:
"Take care, sailor, but I have a little misgiving."
Sheyan said seriously:
"You speak."
Reef thought for a while and said:
"This Saruman is just a clone, so it is conceivable that there are very few collections in the mage tower. And this time he is going to fight the enemy hard, so he must bring the recovery, combat props, and even equipment that he can bring. Bring them all. This will inevitably lead to a further decline in the chances of catching good things."
"In the end, because of the damn rules, what we can take out is still restricted. After these three times of weakening, there are very few benefits that can be gained, so the main purpose of your adventure in is to let go It's on the completion of my sixth-level ability."
Sheyan nodded and said:
"Well, I think so too. But I still think the risk is worth taking."
Reef thought for a while and said:
"Okay, then, take care."
Fang Senyan has to hurry up, because he doesn't know when Saruman's clone will come back, so he has already turned his back and strode towards the orc camp, with a dangling cowhide bag dangling from his waist, he raised his hand to say goodbye Swinging down on the rocks.
And just when the two separated, a ruthless voice sounded again from the nightmare imprint:
"Scanning: Team Task No. 1018: Survival has reached the time-related critical point again!"
"Congratulations: No. 1018, you are performing the team mission: Survival has reached the time-related critical point of the final stage!"
"Warning: The difficulty for you to stay in this world will increase again. From now on, all the attribute bonuses you get in the nightmare space will disappear, and your physical fitness will be reduced to the normal person's data level when you first entered the space. !!"
"Reminder: You have reached the final stage of the team task: Survival. You can stay in this space for up to 8 hours. At that time, you will reach the highest standard of the team task: Survival evaluation LVMAX, and you will be forced to return to the nightmare space .If you can achieve this goal, then you will get the relevant milestones and the highest reward for this task!"
Although Fang Senyan was mentally prepared, he couldn't help bursting into ecstasy. In addition, although he had already presumed something, he still had to ask it out of caution:
"If I choose to return to the space at this time, and the companion who entered this world with me stays until the end, how will the task reward be calculated?"
"Inquiry answer..."
"Backing up..."
"Responding to..."
"You all chose to enter this world together, and at the same time started to establish a team mission: Survival. Therefore, as long as anyone survives to the end, the mission completion evaluation only counts the best scores among the members who participated in the mission."
After getting this answer, Sheyan also felt relieved, and boldly went back to the orc city. However, suddenly regaining the physique of an ordinary person really made him quite uncomfortable, Fang Sheyan couldn't help but also sighed secretly in his heart, in this case, he would have spent at least five minutes more on the road alone!
And at this crucial moment when they were about to sneak into Saruman's mage tower and make trouble, five minutes might mean success or failure, life or death! !
During the period, Sheyan checked his attributes by the way, and found that all his personal data returned to the first time he entered the space, and all abilities, including active/passive, showed the word "sealed", but the only exception was, But his talent "toughness"!
Although the tenacity also didn't take effect, the three words displayed on it were "unawakened!" This display method is no different from checking the talent in the real world!
Although the orc city seemed to be completely dead, everything still seemed to be in order. Obviously, Saruman's clone has been preparing for this expedition for quite a long time.
Walking in this smelly, dirty, yet extremely durable town, reading the chaotic and noisy memories, Sheyan even felt a vague fear of being in a ghost town.
The mage tower is just ahead.
Strictly speaking, this mage tower is actually a scribbled copycat version. Only the top floor is built according to the most formal mage tower using precious materials such as mithril and krypton gold. Therefore, when entering the first four floors, there is no need to worry about magic organs at all.
And with the wisdom of half-orcs/orcs whose brains are almost full of muscles and tendons, it is absolutely not difficult to recognize those rough and powerful ordinary mechanisms. What's more, when Fang Sheyan transported the materials, he felt the environment inside, not to mention familiar with it, at least he knew a lot about it.
"Go this way." After entering the mage's tower, although Fang Sheyan was an ordinary person, he was agile and flexible, leading the way ahead. "Be careful with this section of stairs, see if you see it, that's right, it's the black wooden board in the middle, if you step on it, a boulder will roll down from it."
Wuge walked silently behind Sheyan, and suddenly looked at him sadly in her clear and flawless eyes and said:
"I can feel that you are getting weaker and weaker."
