Diablo Destruction

"The reborn demon Selson... doesn't seem to be here either."

After walking in the sewer for a long time, Hilmanya, who had been paying attention to something, frowned and whispered.

As a kind and rigorous druid, the words that come out of her mouth are much more reliable than those of some unscrupulous maidservant with dirty jokes. If she didn't have full assurance and reasons, Hilmanya would not have said such a thing. To be honest, this is the personality I learned during this period of time with her.

"It may have been here before, though."

Later, Hilmanya said this again.

"Where did you see it?"

I approached curiously, not because I was suspicious, but because I was a Druid and I was a little curious about how Hilmanya could clearly perceive this information.

"Druids who have been dealing with animals and plants for a long time, whether it is smell, hearing, or animal-like keen intuition, are the most outstanding among several professions. As long as His Royal Highness can work a little in this area, he will definitely be able to feel."

Hilmanya looked at me sincerely and suggested. The light of life as a druid suddenly burst out from her body, seeming to want to guide me, a lost druid lamb, back to the other side.

"Yes...really? I'll try my best, haha~~~"

Unable to bear Hilmanya's enthusiasm, I had to scratch the back of my head and giggle a few times, dealing with animals and plants? Come on, I'd rather kill a few more fallen demons.

However, when it comes to intuition, my man's seventh sense is definitely not inferior to any druid's peak ability.

"Tracking is a very useful skill. Your Highness, please think about it carefully."

Seeing that I didn't show any intention to learn, Hilmanya looked quite disappointed.

"That is to say, I feel that the reborn demon Selson has been here before, right?"

"I think so. However, the aura left by the reborn demon Selson here is very thin, and it is not yet completely certain. I think we should go deeper and look for the place where the other party's aura is strongest. Maybe it will There are other clues."

"If we go deeper...could it be the second floor of the sewer?"

I thought, then said.

"That should be the case. All in all, let's walk around and see more." Hilmanya nodded.

The second level of the sewer is not strictly speaking the second level, because it is not a sewer at all. Rather, it is more like a basement or something. It is said that a long time ago, a certain idle and bored adventure team came Wandering around in the sewers, I accidentally discovered what I found. At the time, I thought it was a secret room hiding treasures, or the lair of some powerful monster. I was very excited, but what I didn't expect was a huge disappointment.

"How far is it from the inner entrance?"

I turned around and asked the pornographic maid walking on the other side.

"If everything goes well, we can reach it in half a day. There are four entrances to the sewer. We have chosen the one closest to the entrance on the second floor to enter, but we still have to run for such a long time."

Zeluka sighed softly, complaining that the sewer was too big.

Has this guy... got to the point where he can easily find his route without looking at a map? Jeluka must have complained about Xiao Suido, but I was even more surprised by her ferocious ability.

Moreover, she chose the sewer entrance closest to the entrance on the second floor to enter from the beginning. This dirty maid was really thoughtful about some details that she could not notice.

"Then speed up, Hilmanya, and I'll leave the vigilance work to you."

I gestured to Hilmanya behind me, and she nodded vigorously.

In the sewer, a group of three people accelerated their pace. They could go around and around the large numbers of monsters they encountered. If they couldn't, they would just fight their way out and never get entangled with them. At this speed, they were ahead of Jeluka's expectation. After nearly an hour, we found the entrance to the second floor of the sewer.

The entrance to the second floor is quite conspicuous. It is in the middle of a huge sewer platform. There is a huge gear handle next to it, as if others don't know there is some mechanism here.

But before that, we still have to pass the test of the entrance guard, which is a large group of dark bats. When we got closer, we had already discovered that they were flying down from the ceiling with a roar, and the darkness was overwhelming.

Frozen cage! break!

Frost Nova? Change!

While maintaining the moon wolf transformation, I was naturally not afraid of these weird bats flashing with electric light. After two moves, a large piece of them fell down like smoky mosquitoes. The rest, with Hilmanya also joining in, were more than a hundred. The dark bat was easily eliminated.

Thanks to the large number of monsters, like now, I can occasionally take action and gain some experience. In addition, the equipment dropped here is also very tempting.

"strangeness……"

While we were packing up the precious items dropped by the Dark Bat, Jeluka was muttering to herself in a daze.

"There's nothing strange about it."

I dug out a cracked diamond from the pile of bat corpses, wiped it on my body and threw it into the inventory. I turned around and asked.

"Where is the lord-level monster here, the Wing of Rift - Ice Eagle?"

I was stunned when I heard this.

Is there a mini-boss-level monster at the entrance?

"No, I didn't find any stronger monsters just now." After briefly recalling the battle just now, I shook my head and said.

"Then there is only one possibility. Someone came here one step ahead and killed the Rift Wing - Ice Eagle."

Jeluka clapped her hands and said with certainty.

"That's the only way to say it. Moreover, the rebirth time of lord-level clone monsters is usually one to two days depending on the situation. In other words, for those who came here one step ahead of us, the time difference will not exceed two days."

At this point, we were shocked. Isn't this a useful clue?

"Moreover, the monsters nearby are still dense. Obviously, if the opponent is an adventurer, after some cleaning, there will not be so many monsters. The most likely explanation is that the opponent is the reborn demon Selson, because the same It’s a monster. Not only will these monsters not attack it, but they will fear it and obey it.”

The three of them quickly sorted out the clues with each other. It seemed that the reborn demon Selson had indeed been here. Judging from the situation, he probably wanted to go to the second floor.

However, we still have some questions in our minds, why did the reborn demon Selson go to the second level? In addition, these monsters will not attack it, but will be afraid of it and obey it. Although with the power of the reborn demon Selson, it is impossible to attack it at all. I won't bother to control these weak monsters, but there is no need to kill the Rift Wing-Ice Eagle for no reason. Is it because I want to use the impact point equipment? Bullshit about this possibility.

"I don't know if you have noticed something. Along the way, we rarely encountered demonized monsters. We even encountered none of the third world monsters transported by crystal shards."

Jeluka said suddenly.

After her reminder, Hilmanya and I immediately noticed that as combatants who had fought all the way, the two of us knew better than Jeluka what kind of enemies we had faced. Indeed, just as she said, The amount of time caused by the crystal shards was extremely abnormal. The number of monsters in the sewer was huge and dense, and it should have been one of the high-incidence points of the crystal shard incident.

Just as everyone was pondering various possibilities, Jeluka's slightly trembling voice sounded again.

"You think, Reborn Demon Selson...is he collecting these crystal fragments?"

These words were like thunder in the clear sky, shocking Hilmanya and I.

The reborn demon Selson... is collecting crystal fragments. What is it collecting crystal fragments for? What is the use of crystal fragments for it? No, wait, crystal fragments can enhance the power of monsters and make them demonic. Could it be that that guy...

At the same time, thinking of a possibility, everyone's expressions became solemn.

The purpose of looking for the reborn demon Selson is probably to use the crystal fragments to strengthen himself in order to avenge the last battle.

"It's useless to think too much, let's go down and take a look."

Shaking my head, I asked Jeluka and Hilmanya to stay away, and then suddenly pulled the huge gear rocker. With a rumbling sound, a dark entrance was slowly revealed on the stone floor in the center of the sewer platform. .

Staring at the entrance warily, I nodded slightly to Hilmanya in the distance. She stared knowingly at the tracking tool in her hand, and then shook her head at me to indicate that the reborn demon Selson was not inside.

It is said that the area of ​​the second floor is very small, only equivalent to a huge secret room. If the reborn demon Selson is inside, the tracking props should be able to be displayed immediately.

"The scene is here, let's go down and take a look. Maybe we can find some useful clues."

I said as I looked at the dark entrance.

"I'll go down first, and you will follow."

I glanced at Jeluka and reminded her to keep an eye on the surroundings to prevent any accidents from happening when I went down. Although the reborn demon Selson can suddenly appear without us noticing, this possibility Sex is less than one ten thousandth, but we can still sail the ship of ten thousand years with caution.

Stepping into the dark cave entrance, going down the stairs, and passing through a dark passage of tens of meters, the dim light of the magic lamp came from the front. After turning a corner, the scenery on the second floor of the sewer immediately came into view.

Presumably the first floor is huge, but the second floor is really pitifully small, only about the size of a football field. If there is anything that stands out the most in this space, it is the huge one in the center, which reveals the mystery. A reservoir with a deep green meaning of coldness.

Soon, Jeluka and Hilmanya also followed, and the three of them stared at the basement in a daze.

"Take a spin and see if there are any clues."

After coming back to our senses, we started looking around. According to the information from the maid, the only thing in this underground secret room that can cheer up the adventurers is a few treasure chests, one of which is a precious dark gold treasure chest. Monster We all like to hide our precious collections in such gorgeous boxes. In addition, there are several ordinary treasure boxes. It would be good if we could let monsters fill these treasure boxes after a period of time. If you are lucky, you can also get gold-level equipment and a lot of gems. This may be the only motivation for adventurers to come to this damn place.

There were dozens of immortal corpse monsters hanging around on the second floor. They were just ordinary things. I would rather they were all mini-bosses. After cleaning them up easily, we found the treasure chest hidden in the corner.

"The treasure chest has been opened."

The dark gold treasure chest that I was looking forward to a lot, but after I found it, it had been cleared away, which made me gnash my teeth with hatred. Judging from the situation along the way, there should be no adventurers coming to the second floor of the sewer for a while. Inside the box There must be some good stuff there, but that guy, Reborn Demon Selson, clearly has no use for it but still wants to scrape it off without even keeping a single gold coin. It's really hateful.

Except for the dark gold treasure chest, several other ordinary treasure chests have not been opened, probably because of disdain. As the reborn demon Selson, looting the treasure chests of the second world is already very cheap. If If someone knows that he even digs through ordinary treasure chests, it's like a billionaire digging through a garbage dump. I'm afraid the most stingy person in hell will fall on it.

But it's no wonder that it didn't like it and opened an ordinary treasure chest at random. There were only dozens of gold coins, a tube of arrows, two bottles of powerful mana potion, and a broken topaz.

I unceremoniously opened all the ordinary treasure boxes and collected all the miscellaneous items inside. Founder already had the reputation of being the third stingy Rogge, the so-called dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. Hot.

After turning around, I collected a total of more than 200 gold coins, five fragmented gems, one cracked gem, one complete gem, more than 20 bottles of potions, three pieces of whiteboard equipment, one piece of blue equipment, and several groups. There are explosives and other worthless things. If you count them carefully, you can actually gain a little.

It seems that opening a treasure chest is indeed the first choice for a simple, safe and quick way to get rich. Of course, since there are good things in the treasure chest, it means that there are monsters around, so this is just an ideal statement.

By the way, there is a large group of Styx guardian tentacles living in the reservoir. These monsters are as powerful as dragons and have very awesome names. However, their strength displayed is extremely weak, except for spitting constantly. In addition, they only have simple attack methods such as sweeping the enemy with their heads or tails when they get close. Basically, as long as they wear anti-toxin equipment, their threat is zero. However, they are extremely alert and have a timid character who will dive immediately if something goes wrong. It also makes them extremely difficult to deal with, and they rarely explode anything (even if they do, you have to dive into the water to pick it up), so not many adventurers are willing to tangle with this kind of monster if they don't have to.

From a distance, these Styx guardian tentacles poked their heads out of the water and demonstrated to us, but they were ignored. They were so angry that they croaked and shook their heads back and forth, which was very annoying.

"Look, everyone, these footprints."

We found some suspicious clues near the dark gold treasure chest. After careful judgment by tracking expert Hilmanya, we can determine that these footprints were left for about a day. In other words, the reborn demon Selson is just We came here just one day earlier than we did, and when we first entered the sewer, it was still here.

This good news excited us, and we all thought that as long as we worked harder, we could intercept this damn mummy.

Moreover, we also have one of the biggest advantages, which is that we can use the scroll to return to the city and have already used the teleportation array. This advantage is enough for us to shorten the distance to zero for this day.

After confirming that there were no other useful clues, we tore open the teleportation scroll. The white light emitted when the three teleportation light pillars appeared together immediately illuminated more than half of the huge underground secret room.

I stayed at the end, watching Jeluka and Hilmanya step into the beam of teleportation. I was about to follow suit when I suddenly stopped and looked at Styx, who was still waving his teeth and claws proudly in the reservoir in the distance. Watch over the tentacles.

Ice Vorpal Sword - Throwing Mode.

He raised his palm high, and after a few seconds, a huge icy decapitation sword condensed and floated on his palm. Styx, who was extremely vigilant, guarded the tentacles and was keenly aware of the danger, so he shrank back under the water.

Don't assume that diving is safe.

With a snort, he slid his palm in the direction of the reservoir. The huge ice decapitation sword quickly fell into the reservoir like a huge laser. In just an instant, the reservoir that was originally full of blue water turned into a mirror. It goes without saying that in a smooth skating rink, the Styx in the water will end up guarding the tentacles.

Diving guys are the most annoying.

After completing all this, I nodded with satisfaction, canceled the Moon Wolf transformation, pulled the cloak, and disappeared into the teleportation beam.

After returning to Kurast, we did not start tracking immediately. Instead, we found a hotel to soothe our stomachs that had been in the sewer for three days, and then took a refreshing shower.

Don't forget that Jeluka and Hilmanya are girls. Which girl doesn't like to be clean? Coming out of that smelly place, even a ruthless slave owner can't be cruel enough to refuse such a simple request. Anyway, Not less than a few hours.

In addition, there is another choice before us, that is - whether to continue tracking now, or to choose a spot where the crystal fragments are relatively dense, try our luck, and see if we can wait and wait.
