, Wanxiang Ruins, by the river.
Lin Xiao pulled the sword out of a corpse and shook it gently, and the bloodstain disappeared. He looked up to the other side, and the last person had disappeared into the bushes.
He did not continue to chase, because there was no need.
Although the man was not dead, his subordinates were gone. Without the command of a hero, the subordinates were all in a state of headless flies, fighting on their own, and the consequences were almost foreseeable. At
such a critical moment in the beginning, returning to the pre-liberation era and becoming a bachelor commander, there is basically no future for him unless there is a chance against the will of heaven.
Lin Xiao gently made a sword flower and sheathed the sword. He was about to summon the heroic warhorse, when suddenly a scream came from the direction where the man had just escaped. He immediately became alert and jumped on the heroic warhorse to approach his subordinates.
Soon the jungle was separated, and three native heroes rode out on war horses. One of them, wearing silver armor and a pair of wings on his helmet, threw the bloody head in his hand and said,
"Your fighting skills are amazing. I have sufficient reason to suspect that they are spies from the Savage City. I executed this traitor in the name of the King of the Temple."
They seemed to have no ill intentions. Lin Xiao rode forward a few steps and clasped his fists and said,
"They are all from the Savage City. Thank you for killing this traitor who besieged me. You can call me Lin Xiao."
With a thought, his subordinates began to retreat. He pointed to the remaining subordinates of Yi Lai and the other four who were a little confused without the hero's command and said,
"These are all at your disposal."
It was obvious that the mood of several people suddenly became better when he said this. The leading hero nodded and said,
"Then we won't be polite."
Lin Xiao commanded his subordinates to withdraw slowly, and several native heroes waved their hands to signal their subordinates to rush towards the confused troops.
Without the hero's command, they could slowly eliminate them, or surround them and then surrender.
After the troops had moved away for a distance, Lin Xiao politely said goodbye to them and turned to leave.
Among the three indigenous heroes, there was a second-level hero, much stronger than Yi Lai and his four companions, and he did not want to fight again for the time being.
Fortunately, he had shocked them with his ability to easily kill three people when fighting one against four, otherwise it would probably take another fight.
Continue down along the river, count the battles just now, obtain three sets of hero equipment and three hero war horses, and then get one thousand experience points and ten points for each person killed.
This is not to say that killing a hero will only bring such a small gain, mainly because it has not been less than a month since we entered the ruins, and there is no bonus.
If you wait for more than three months, that is, one season, the reward for killing a player will increase significantly.
In the future, for every additional three months, the reward for eliminating other players will increase significantly on the basis of the previous season, that is, the higher the reward for eliminating an opponent, the higher the reward.
The basic reward is only 1,000 experience points and 10 points. This reward is quite high and attractive. I believe that many players who have descended in their true bodies will be keen to do this. Killing ten people can upgrade to a level one hero. After three months, killing dozens of people again can easily accumulate enough experience to upgrade to level two. This is much higher than the experience gained by hard work in completing tasks and killing wild monsters.
Unfortunately, there was no other gain after killing three people, such as treasures. I don't know if they don't have them or can't drop them.
There were no pursuers, and then he found a safe place to cross the river.
This river is a dividing line. The other side of the river is considered to be out of the range of the Castle of Power and officially enter the wild.
The method of crossing the river is very simple. Let the griffin grab the subordinates and fly over one by one.
He dare not cross the river directly. There are many monsters in this river. Forcing a crossing will result in great losses.
Stepping on the river bank, he clearly felt the difference on this side of the river. It seemed that the air was filled with a breath called wildness. Whether it was the growing trees or weeds, they looked different from the other side of the river.
"It's really exciting!"
Lin Xiao felt the long-lost passion.
Not long after, he saw the familiar white light coming from the lush jungle, which could be seen from a distance.
"You found a stone man treasure house, do you want to explore it?"
Lin Xiao quickly approached and saw a light curtain from a distance that was exactly the same as the knight barracks he had seen before, but larger. Through the light curtain, he vaguely saw many stiff human figures moving inside, and the prompt from the system surprised him that this was a treasure house instead of an ordinary wild monster.
The so-called treasure house is an expanded version of the small events such as the spearman camp he encountered before. There are very few, the difficulty is higher, and the rewards are quite high.
It can also be said to be a reduced version of the treasure. The difficulty is related to the type of soldiers represented by the treasure house.
If it is a first-level soldier treasure house such as the spearman big-eared monster, the difficulty is naturally limited, and it can't be much higher, but if it is a treasure house such as the angel black dragon, hehe
Lin Xiao found a swamp hero not far from this treasure house. His subordinates are a large number of werewolves, lizardman shooters and a large group of giant lizards, as well as a dozen dragon flies that are hunched in the air like snakes.
This hero probably discovered the treasure house not long ago and has not had time to enter it.
According to the records in the Arms Treasure Book I checked before, the Stoneman is a third-level arm of the Tower Camp.
This is a magic puppet controlled by a mage. You can refer to the stone golems in other worlds. They are very slow, with medium to high attacks and high defenses. They are highly resistant to magic and sharp attacks, such as arrows and swords. They are thick-skinned and super durable.
Because they are puppets, they are basically immune to most negative magic, and even resurrection cannot work on them. Of course, vampires' bloodsucking is also not effective.
This unit is the same as the zombies in the Undead Camp. It can't be relied on in normal small-scale battles. By the time it catches up with the battlefield, the battle is probably over. It can only play a great role in large-scale positional battles.
Although it looks useless, this unit is still super useful in some cases. For example, a shooter like Lin Xiao only needs a thick-skinned and thick-fleshed unit to protect him.
This treasure house is so big that if it can be penetrated, it is likely that a barracks nest can be directly obtained instead of fragments.
But it is precisely because the treasure house is too big that it is estimated that it is difficult to penetrate with Lin Xiao's current troops.
This swamp lizardman hero is stronger than Lin Xiao, but he seems to be hesitant and dare not enter the treasure house.
It is very embarrassing to find a treasure house but not dare to enter.
Neither he nor the lizardman hero intends to attack each other. Although the lizardman hero looks like a second-level hero, his strength is limited compared to his, so he dare not.
Lin Xiao boldly walked around the treasure house, returned to his original position and hesitated for a moment, then looked up at his 100 griffin archers, and suddenly waved to the lizardman hero and said loudly:
"I'll go in and take a look."
The lizardman hero also glanced at his subordinates and nodded expressionlessly.
He led his subordinates to the light curtain and stretched out his hand to press on the light curtain of the treasure house. The white light in the sky submerged him and all his subordinates. When he could see again, he appeared in a huge wasteland. A large group of two-meter-high stone puppets gathered in eight directions a few kilometers away from the center.
When a hero entered the treasure house, the stone puppets in all directions began to move, and gathered towards the center at a pace slightly faster than that of ordinary people.
Lin Xiao observed carefully and found that the speed was indeed very slow. Even the slowest spearman in his hands could beat the stone puppets.
But there were too many of them. There were 300 stone puppets in each of the eight directions, which added up to 2,400. They were all level 3 soldiers. Lin Xiao knew that he couldn't fight them after just observing them.
Indeed, archers can keep their distance and fly kites, and the stone men can't catch up to them even if they die, but the problem is that they can't kill all the stone men.
Because the arrows of archers are not unlimited, there is an ammunition limit. In a general-scale battle, there will be no problem of running out of ammunition, but to kill 2,400 stone men with thick skin and high defense and arrow resistance, even if they stand still and shoot, they can't kill them all if they run out of arrows.
Not to mention recycling the arrows shot, these soldiers are alchemical magic creations, and the arrows they use are also magic alchemical creations. They can be restored after the battle, but they can't be recycled accordingly.
Without long-range weapons, he can't beat these stone men in close combat with his hands, even if all 1,000 are level 3 griffins.
Before the stone men launched an attack, Lin Xiao decisively chose to withdraw and didn't dare to continue.
For a treasure house like this, you can withdraw before the battle, but you can't withdraw once the battle starts.
When the lizardman hero saw him withdraw, his face covered with scales showed a hideous smile, which looked like a mockery.
Lin Xiao ignored him, and put his hand on his head, which caused him a headache.
It felt a bit of a shame to give up directly. After all, it was a level 3 treasure house. If he took it, it would at least be a complete level 3 nest, a lot of experience and resources, and there was a 50% chance of an extra treasure. This was worth a try.
But how to fight was a problem. He certainly couldn't do it alone. He was definitely not as strong as the other players, and no matter how he adjusted, it wouldn't work.
But
he looked at the lizardman hero, wondering if he could borrow a knife to kill someone?
However, just as he had this thought, the lizardman hero suddenly moved, pulled the giant lizard under his seat and turned around, and when he turned back, he showed a mocking expression on his face.
"Damn!"
Too smart.
Lin Xiao was speechless because he didn't give him a chance.
Everyone had left, and there was no knife to borrow. Lin Xiao looked at the stone man treasure house and drooled with envy, and sighed.
There was no way, absolutely no way.
It was a pity that he could only leave after circling the treasure house again.
Going in a different direction from the lizardman hero, after all, he was a level 2 hero, and he couldn't beat him if there was a real conflict.
But not long after he left, the lizardman hero actually circled back again. He looked at the direction Lin Xiao left, and his ugly lizard face was full of ridicule. He reached out from his arms and took out a scroll emitting a faint silver light and threw it. It was activated, and the sky was full of silver light, covering the treasure house. Then you can see that the treasure house is shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon it is only half the size of before.
Then, the lizardman hero led the troops into the treasure house.
