DOTA’s Madness

ps: The first update is here.

Zhao Dingguo never thought that there could be such a huge tree in this world!

In his impression, the tallest tree in the Guinness Book of Records in the real world is only about 110 meters tall. But compared with the world tree of the Guards Corps in front of him, that towering tree was barely qualified to carry shoes. Based on Zhao Dingguo's visual inspection alone, it is difficult to determine the true height of the World Tree. It may be several thousand to tens of thousands of meters!

“What a spectacle!”

Zhao Dingguo clicked his tongue and followed the madman down the teleportation array.

The young man named Madman nodded in agreement: "Indeed, the scenery here is much better than that of our world! If there were no stay time restrictions, I would like to stay here forever!"

Zhao Dingguo was very open-minded and shrugged: "I guess that's what you said. If you really stay here for a long time without electricity, Internet, relatives and friends, you will miss the real world!"

The madman thought for a while and said thoughtfully: "That's true!"

Zhao Dingguo smiled, glanced at the time, and then said goodbye: "Then, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. We'll see you in the future. Thank you for your guidance!"

The madman waved his hand indifferently and said: "It's just a drop in, no need to thank you. However, there is news that the Crystal Sanctuary is open today. Why don't you stop by and come with me?"

"Crystal Sanctuary?"

Zhao Dingguo was stunned and asked, "Where is that place?"

"I forgot you are new here..." The madman slapped his head and said: "The Crystal Sanctuary is the residence of the ice girl, the previous generation plot hero. Many super users and plot mages have practiced ice magic there. Of course, this is not the key. Everyone is mainly going for this generation of Little Ice Girl. I was lucky enough to meet her once before. At that time, the little Ice Girl lifted up her light blue robe, revealing her white calves... …”

Yes, it turned out that I was here to see a beautiful woman, and she was also an aborigine!

Zhao Dingguo glanced at the madman, feeling a little helpless to complain. This is his first time coming to the main plane of Dota, and he has a lineage mission. Time is very tight, but he doesn't have extra time to accompany him to see the beauty. Therefore, faced with the lunatic's warm invitation, Zhao Dingguo firmly declined!

"Oh, what a pity. Whenever this happens, there are always many people rushing to get there!"

The lunatic felt a little sorry, but he didn't force himself. He waved to him, muttered in a low voice and left.

Zhao Dingguo stood here for a while. When he saw the madman walking away, he also walked away.

He did not immediately transfer from the teleportation array at the base camp to Southern Wilderness Leize. Instead, he wandered around the World Tree for a while and collected some information.

It has to be said that World Tree is indeed the headquarters of the Guards Corps. Here, countless lush branches and leaves form an emerald green ocean. Ancient branches and vines are crisscrossed, and their width exceeds the widest highway in the real world. There are buildings and blocks of different styles on it, forming a unique tree world. All kinds of races can be seen here, humans, elves, dwarves, trolls...

In such a huge and prosperous tree world, it couldn't be easier to find out something.

Soon, Zhao Dingguo confirmed the news that the supplicant Jia Ruo was indeed in the Southern Wilderness.

It is said that two tribes of Nagas and fishmen appeared in Leize in the Southern Wilderness for some reason, and they had many battles with the outposts there. As a hero who had just joined the Guards Corps, the supplicant naturally wanted to find an opportunity to consolidate his position, so he was ordered to lead a team to exterminate!

After figuring this out, Zhao Dingguo didn't stay any longer, but quickly transferred here to the teleportation array heading to Southern Wilderness.

"Southern Wasteland Outpost No. 1!"

The druid mage determined the target and launched the teleportation.

Seeing that there was only one free transfer left on the temporary identity token, Zhao Dingguo couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency. He has already decided that while completing the bloodline mission, he must find a way to quickly increase the reputation of the Guards Corps. It would be really inconvenient to travel without a permanent token!

After the silver light ended, Zhao Dingguo set foot on the land of Southern Wasteland.

This place is located at the southernmost tip of the continent. The land is barren and the climate is hot and humid, making it very unsuitable for human habitation. Therefore, the Guards Corps only placed an outpost here to guard against the situation in the far south. There haven't been any problems here for the past few decades. God knows how the Naga and Fishman tribes migrated here this time, and this caused a small-scale war!

"Samurai-sama, I salute you!"

Seeing that Zhao Dingguo had not yet changed out of his warrior uniform, several human infantrymen guarding the place quickly saluted him.

Zhao Dingguo didn't want to get entangled with them. He simply responded and asked, "Do you know where the supplicant has gone?"

"this……"

The infantry hesitated for a moment, but still answered truthfully: "Your Excellency led a thousand-man Treant Legion to the east of Leize to wipe out the fish-human tribe! The environment there is quite harsh, with all kinds of poisons everywhere, and they can be seen everywhere A trap in a swamp. Only the tree troopers can maximize their combat effectiveness there. I don’t know, sir?”

Zhao Dingguo nodded and said casually: "I have something important and I need to see him immediately! How far is Leize from here? Can you send a guide to take me there?"

One of them, who seemed to be a squad leader, probably knew something. He thought for a while and said, "Originally, the whereabouts of Lord Prayer are military secrets and are not allowed to be leaked. However, since the opponent is the uncivilized fish-men tribe, It doesn’t matter if you belong to the tribe. Leize is about forty miles away from the outpost, but the road conditions along the way are very bad, and the adults are gradually getting deeper into the central area, so I’m afraid it’s not that easy to find..."

It is not difficult to understand what he meant. It is enough to let Zhao Dingguo wait here for the supplicant Jiaruo Banshi to return. There is no need to rush into Leize.

"I have something urgent and I have to get there within one day! Is there nothing I can do?"

Zhao Dingguo looked serious and solemnly stated his request, hoping to attract the attention of these human infantry.

"In that case...it's not impossible!"

The soldier captain pondered for a moment and came up with a solution. It turned out that the human troops stationed at the outpost had a small griffon unit. Although most of them were brought into Leize by Garro, two remained at the outpost. However, it is not impossible to ride a griffin, but the service cannot be provided for free to outsiders...you need to pay some magic gold coins!

"Fifty one way, one hundred round trip!"

The price is definitely not low, it is worth taking a trip to the teleportation array. However, they have an exclusive monopoly on this business and have a say in pricing, whether they like it or not!

"Okay, then I'll pay for the one-way trip first."

Zhao Dingguo knew that reasoning was useless, so he could only pay the money obediently, and then, led by the soldiers who raised the griffins, he got on the reconnaissance griffin with a wingspan of six meters and flapping broad gray wings. This monster looks as big as a small plane, and its sharp claws can easily scratch claw marks on the toughest steel plates. However, after being raised, their character is still very docile, especially the non-combat type.

Zhao Dingguo tried to pat it, and the griffon actually tilted its head, showing a satisfied look.

"Walk!"

The soldier said something, and then flapped the gryphon's wings rhythmically. It gave a knowing cry and slowly flapped its wings and took off from the ground.

The flying speed of the Griffin is not slow. Although it carries two people, it is still roughly comparable to a car on an ordinary road. Soon, the two of them flew dozens of miles and arrived in the sky above Lei Ze. However, although the soldiers at the outpost knew that the supplicants were in the eastern part of Leize, even with the regional restrictions, it was still not easy to find them in the huge Leize. It wasn't until it was getting dark that Zhao Dingguo and the soldiers controlling the griffons discovered the target!

"Right ahead!"

The soldier looked at the looming fire and the shouts of killing in the distance, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

After all, Southern Wasteland Leize is a dangerous area. Although they are flying in the sky, they cannot guarantee absolute safety. Seeing the large army in front, his mission was completed.
