Volume 20 Chapter 56: Grab the position

Perhaps I saw that my expression was strange, and the other party quickly understood my thoughts and explained quickly: "It's like this President Zi Ri. I'm not saying that we both look the same, but they are very similar."

“Special?”

"Yes. Look. Your fighting method is melee plus summoning creatures, and you can occasionally use some auxiliary or attack spells. I am a mummy mage, and I can also fight melee, and my fighting method is to summon undead creatures from the Mummy series, which is very similar to your magic pet. In the end, I also have spells, and most of them are auxiliary systems."

"After you say that, our fighting patterns are indeed a bit similar, but to be honest, don't you feel uncomfortable making yourself like this?"

Hearing my question, the mummy mage not only had no intention of being discouraged, but immediately said excitedly: "I was excited when I mentioned this. This look is really uncomfortable. Although it is not hot, it is really annoying to wrap myself up like a bandage man. However, considering the combat power of this profession and the similarity to your fighting style, I endured it. I thought it would be like this in the future, but I didn't expect that when I recently upgraded my level, I realized that this bandage man's form was just Muno.

The first-level form of Master Yi can be advanced as his profession level and character level increases, and as the stage changes, my appearance will also change. Now this bandage man form is not permanent, and this time I came here just to get the promotion equipment, and then I can change to a second-level mummy mage. At that time, my appearance will change a lot. Although it is still not good-looking, it is no longer a bandage man shape. And I can continue to strengthen it in the future, and when I advance to the third level, I can become a perfect human appearance."

"It sounds good." After I said that, I looked at the crowd around me and asked, "Are they all here to help you with tasks or do everyone here to do tasks?"

"No, they are all my friends. This time they are here to help with the mission." The mummy mage added: "We are usually a leveling squad, and our combat power is quite famous. Unfortunately, the number of people is a bit small, and we can't beat those players with guilds. Every time they come out, there are dozens of people. We can't beat them at all and we are always robbed of things."

"Why don't you find a guild to join?"

Just now, I used Xingtong to observe the people's genitals. As this guy said himself, their combat power was pretty good. Among the people present, except for a black knight level of 999, the rest of the people were all running up one thousand, and the mummy mage with the highest level was over 1,230. Even if it was put in our guild, we could be considered a little master. In theory, if we were to pull out such strength, the guild should rush to get it, but I didn't expect that they would not join the guild.

Probably, he knew about his own group of people. The mummy mage suddenly spoke, "It's not that no one wants us, but we don't want to join. You may not know that there is something special about us here." After the mummy mage said that, he whistled to the others over there.

The people on the other side probably had experienced similar situations long ago, and immediately stood up as soon as they heard the whistle. The two black knights, the Pastor of the God of the Underworld and the Demon Bowman who spoke before. I looked at it and found that these four seemed to be nvxìng. Although the Pastor of the Underworld was relatively spacious and could not see the figure curve, I could still barely recognize that this was nvxìng.

After standing up, the four of them made a common move, which was to lift their faces out. The Black Knights all wore full-coverage helmets, and the Demon Bowman also wore similar helmets. As for the priest of the God of the Underworld, the front end of her hood was basically about to cover the height of the bridge of her nose. In addition, she always lowered her head, and her face was completely hidden under the shadow of the hood, and she could not see her appearance at all. However, after they lifted the hat and helmet back, I immediately saw four extremely beautiful faces. However, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the four people looked exactly the same.

"Quadplugs?"

"And they are all the best beauty." said the mummy master: "They are all so beautiful that they can easily cause trouble. In addition, they are still quadruplets, so few people can stop this. You also know that there is no law in the game. Although there is protection for nvxìng, there are still people who can't help but want to possess them. Although they can rely on nvxìng to protect and escape from danger every time, they really can't stand being disturbed again and again. After meeting us, they will no longer join other forces."

"Then you guys...?"

"Hehe." The mummy master suddenly hugged the Pastor of the God of the Underworld and said with a smile: "Their little sister is my wife."

The Pastor of the Underworld shyly stepped on the mummy mage, then hurriedly brought his hood and ran back to the team. Several other NV people also brought their hats.

Now I understand what these people think. The nv children don’t want to join other teams and get disturbed again. The males have a stable guarantee because of the establishment of the relationship between this mummy wizard and one of the nv children. In this way, as long as they stay patiently in the team and slowly deepen their relationship with the remaining three sisters, they will have a chance to get one sooner or later. Of course, the current situation in the team is that there are too many monks and too little porridge, but no matter what, it is such a beautiful NV, so how can there be few competitors? According to the current ratio, their competitive pressure has been much smaller.

It is precisely because of this relationship that the people present were able to maintain a relatively stable organizational structure, and the mummy mage, who is an important relationship link, enjoys absolute dominance in the team. Moreover, this guy is indeed the strongest among the people, and it is most suitable for him to be the leader.

During the conversation with these people, we gradually became familiar with each other. While chatting about their own information, the team walked towards the lava land over there.

"That... President Zi Ri, do you know why this place is a volcano but requires lava land?" The mummy mage suddenly asked halfway along the way.

Of course I could only shake my head when I heard this question. "Actually, I was also pitted by this name before. I had been looking for a big pit on the ground before, but I didn't expect that the lava ground would be the name of a mountain. If I hadn't hired a guide later, I think I would never have found it."

"It turns out that it's not just us who were deceived." The mummy and everyone around him also sighed. And after their later statement, it seemed that they were worse than me. I had a magic pet like a bird, which was quite powerful, but they were not good at all. In order to find this lava land, I went around in Greece for countless rounds.

When I heard them, I immediately joked: "You should be glad that it is Greece, not China."

"Why?" one of the black knights asked stupidly.

Before I could answer, the demon archer next to him said, "I'm stupid. We found this place after searching the entire Greece. How big is Greece? How big is China? If we encounter this situation in China, if we are not lucky, you may not be able to find it for the rest of your life."

“That’s right”

We were chatting with each other to relieve our boredom, and suddenly the road ahead broke. I felt strange when I walked over a section of the road before. It was obviously a road made of flat volcanic rocks. Why did the guide say that danger was unwilling to lead the way for me? Now I understand. He was not talking about the previous section of the road, but here.

The area we just walked through was surrounded by all kinds of strange rocks, but the ground under our feet was black volcanic rock formed by cooled lava, and it was quite flat, which was basically a good road. However, the comfortable part ended here. Now there is a lava river in front of us, and it is not as wide as it is. It is actually a river, but it is actually very similar to a river. The lava Yangtze River is what this thing in front of me gives me.

Of course, if it is just a lava river, it will certainly not be difficult for us. After all, no one is stupid these days, and many special areas can be flew over. Not to mention a river, it is just a sea. As long as it is not like the Pacific Ocean, it is very simple to fly over. However, it is probably impossible for the lava river in front of us to fly over, because there are circles of red light shining above it. Although I don’t know what it is, it doesn’t prevent me from knowing that the thing cannot get close to it.

If you cannot get close to the red light above, you cannot fly, so you will only have one way left to pass through the river.

There is indeed a road, and there is only one road. It is connected to the current position of our station and is connected to the road we have walked through. However, the road in front of us, or the bridge in front of us, makes people feel very unreliable no matter how you look at it.

The first half of this lava stone bridge is only more than one foot wide. Although it is more spacious than a single-plank bridge or something, it is indeed extremely stressful to people, because the bridge deck is only more than one foot high from the lava below. Sometimes the lava bubbles that are flipped down can even explode onto the bridge deck.

If you are crossing a long wooden board on a flat road for you to walk on it, most people can actually walk over easily. But if you put this wooden board between two cliffs hundreds of meters high, there will be few people who can pass through it. Now the lava river is like that cliff, which is definitely a test of people's psychological quality. However, in my opinion, even if the human being is fine, the bridge is quite worrying, because it is not like a stone wall higher than the surface of the lava, but like an arch bridge. The bridge deck is only a thin layer of rock, and there is a stone pillar deep into the lava at a distance of more than ten meters below, and other locations are suspended. Just look at this span, I doubt whether people can stand on the bridge.

Although it looks scary, I quickly figured it out. Since this place is the residence of Hephaestus, and Hephaestus is a god with many missions, then this bridge should be safe. Otherwise, how would so many players come to him get there? You should know that among those players, there are professions like Barbarians and Orcs. If they can all pass, there is no reason why our small body will trample the bridge, right?

After thinking it through, we feel much more at ease about this bridge, but I think even if this thing doesn't collapse, the people who can pass by will definitely not be 100%. Besides, the narrow bridge deck in the front, the half behind is even more deadly. The complete bridge is gone only to the middle of the river, and the rest are all stone platforms higher than the lava river. The larger ones are only two square meters, and the smaller ones are even slightly larger than the area of ​​two bear paws. It would be better if we are smaller players like us. If they are barbarians or giants, they will probably have to stand on it with one foot.

However, I guess these small stones may not be for people to stand because they are too small. And according to the distribution of those stones and the law of a large stone slab at every distance, I guess those small stones are for you to step on them and you have no intention of standing on them for a long time.

In fact, the danger on the lava river is far more than that. The physical fitness of players in the game has been strengthened. Even people with relatively low levels are many times stronger than those in reality. Therefore, this seemingly dangerous road actually has no threat to gamers. What I am really worried about is what is hidden under the lava.

The game is not as realistic as the number of species and area scattered here is much stronger than in reality. Even in lava, there are many creatures that survive. In this lava river in front of you, if there are no lava creatures in it, it is just talking lies with your eyes closed. In addition, considering the fire genus xìng in the lava area, the ones that can live here are generally not ordinary creatures, usually either extremely fierce or bloodthirsty. Anyway, the creatures here are the type that you don’t mess with it.

Although you know that those terrifying and dangerous creatures are lurking under the lava, it is impossible for ordinary people to react in advance. Lava is not water after all, and it is neither transparent nor difficult to produce tracks. Therefore, even if something moves under the lava, as long as it is not too close to the surface and does not have too fast speed, it is generally difficult to find. In other words, unless those creatures jump out of the lava and enter the air, you will almost never find them. In addition, the stone bridge and stone pier are only one foot away from the surface of the lava. Even a master dares to say that it will definitely react. Therefore, thinking about this lava river is definitely not as simple as imagined.

"What should I do?" Master Mummy looked at the lava river in front of me and turned to ask me.

"I can take you there, but after your affairs are over, I will talk to Hephaestus. You must persuade Hephaestus with the tone of a bystander. Of course, before entering Hephaestus' residence, you must pretend that you don't know me, so that what you say as a bystander is more credible."

The mummy master nodded and asked, "This is nothing, I just don't know what we need to say? If I knew it in advance, I would think of some words first?"

"No, you can just say it based on your feelings later. Otherwise, if you put the words in advance, it will appear fake and easily discovered because they are too organized."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

After the Mummy Master agreed to my request, I directly summoned Ephrit and the Plague. After I made Ephrit's armor become aligned on me, I instantly enlarged my whole body, and it looked like I was wearing power armor. In fact, Ephrit's armed form does have some special features of power armor. At least in terms of strength, we can superimpose the power of both of us, and the attack power can also be greatly improved. Of course, I just need his fire resistance genus.

After seeing my arming, the Mummy Mage was stunned, because after all, no one had ever worn this kind of clothing that looked like power armor in the game. However, because they saw Everrit's previous form, they also understood that this was just a special way of using the magic pet, so they were just surprised and did not feel that this thing was beyond the scope of the game.

After the arming was completed, I saw that the mummy mage and the others were still in a daze. I simply pointed to the plague and said, "Don't stare at me, hurry up and go up."

"Ah? Oh." After being reminded by me, everyone realized it and quickly climbed onto the back of the plague.

To be honest, the dragons in the game are not very common. I have more dragons around me, one is because of luck, and the other is because I have a good relationship with Dragon Island, so dragons often appear around me. However, for ordinary players, dragons are still a very rare species. Not to mention riding, it is difficult to see them even when they see them. Now that I suddenly have an opportunity to ride a dragon, these people are of course very excited. However, there are no fools among these people. Even if they are excited, they do not run towards the plague's head after climbing up, but they stand in the back of the plague's back.

Their behavior should actually be understood as a basic etiquette, which is just something that ordinary people cannot imagine. After all, dragons are different from ordinary monsters. Their intelligence and power determine that the dragon cannot be ridden like a horse. As their master, I can certainly fly around with luck or plague, but to ordinary people, they are not much nobler than the dragon.

If these people stand behind the back of the plague like this, it is like one person carrying another person on his back. It is a kind of assistance relationship and does not insult. It is like carrying the elderly, weak, sick and disabled people in a flood. The person being carried is just receiving help from the person who carries him, not insulting the other party. However, if you have to ride on someone's shoulder or on someone's head when you are carried by someone, this is another matter. In addition to younger children who can sit on their relatives' necks, it is completely an insult to people's necks.

The dragon does not think it is inferior to humans. On the contrary, in most cases they think that humans are inferior to the dragons. In this case, there is no problem with letting the dragon carry a few people, but if you dare to ride on his neck or climb onto his head, you are purely seeking death. Even for me, except for the need for combat, I rarely stand on the head of lucky or plague. Even my master is like this, and ordinary people should pay more attention to their behavior.

Someone among the mummy master and his companions must have thought of this and reminded others, so after climbing up, they gathered near the tail of the plague and did not dare to move forward. This made the plague feel a lot better about them. After they all went up, the plague turned around and reminded them before they started to take off. With the acceleration ability of the dragon clan, if he intentionally made things difficult for anyone, just one breakthrough would be enough to throw the person out of his back.

When everyone who received the prompt heard that it was about to take off, they lay on the back of the plague and grabbed the plague's needle-shaped dorsal fin. Each of these things is as thick as a human arm, which is definitely the best fixing point. Of course, this also requires the plague to cooperate with it. After all, that thing can be put down. If the plague doesn't want them to catch it, as long as the dorsal fin is tightened, these people will never find the focus.

Because there is no red light near the bridge on the lava river, the plague did not dare to fly completely. Now it is not as good as he is flying, but rather he is running on lava. Because the high-temperature lava will produce a large amount of upward airflow, the plague can gain a lot of lift as long as it spreads its wings. In addition, the lava itself is not completely unforced like the water surface, so as long as the plague is fast enough, it can completely run forward on the surface of the lava. Anyway, the dragon can take a bath in the lava, so he will not be afraid of being scalded.

Seeing the plague running into the lava range, I spread my wings and helped out for two steps, then leaped gently, and the four ** propellers behind me bounced off instantly, allowing me to fly up easily, and then followed closely behind the plague.

Originally, if ordinary players passed by here, the lava creatures under the lava would definitely jump out to attack the passers-by. However, because only the plague really touched the magma this time, and he was also driving the dragon power, so those lava creatures didn't even dare to make a splash, for fear of causing this guy who was not easy to mess with.

Lava creatures are indeed the ones that you don’t mess with him, but they are not stupid. Even if you like to attack actively, you have to find the same ones? If you have nothing to do, you don’t mess with the dragon, that’s not a problem, that’s a death. After all, if ordinary creatures can’t beat them, they can still sneak into the lava. Anyway, not many creatures dare to chase under the lava, but the dragon is one of them. So considering this consequence, the magma monsters who originally felt someone approaching and were moving directly chose to pretend not to see it.

Because of the monsters' neglect of their duties and the lava has no lethality to the plague, we easily rushed to the other side, and the whole process was useless for five minutes. When the mummy mage and the others jumped off the plague across the river, they felt a little incredible. You know, they had inquired about the dangers of the place where Hephaestus lived before they came. Although the information they collected was not complete, at least the lava river still found out.

As a natural barrier with the highest casualty rate in lava, this lava river is definitely notorious, and of course it has also gained a considerable reputation.

"Do you still need my help in front?" After landing, Plague asked directly after putting down the mummy wizard and the others.

I looked at the road conditions in front of me and shook my head and said, "You go back first, I will call you if you need it."

The plague nodded and entered the training space directly, while I looked back at the direction of the lava river. In the middle of the river not far from us, a huge head was slowly sinking into the lava.

Although I didn't see the whole picture, I know that thing, it should be a magma dragon. It is also a kind of giant dragon, but it is not in the same group, and it seems that there is a problem with the brain. It belongs to the 25-type monster. If you are angry, you will dare to rush up even when facing the Dragon King. However, it seems that this dragon will not cause trouble for us at present. After all, the magma dragon is just prone to impulsiveness, not really stupid.

After crossing the Magma River, the remaining roads are much flatter, but it is not very safe here, because the place is full of dòngs, and the hot steam will spurt out from time to time. This kind of landform is actually very common near the lava area, but it is relatively rare to be so dense and large-scale.

For ordinary people, the hot steam emitted from the dòng is quite dangerous. Because the temperature is super high, it will cause serious damage when touched. However, one thing is lucky, that is, this kind of thing will not evaporate into a ball of white smoke instantly like the whole thing falling into magma. So as long as you flash fast enough, it will generally only lose blood and not die. Therefore, as long as you bring enough yào, there will be basically no problem. Of course, it would be even better if you can have a set of equipment with high fire resistance, or if someone in the team can release protective spells.

When the mummy and his group saw the stone forest in front of them, they felt their scalp numb, but this kind of place was not particularly dangerous, and they were embarrassed to ask me for help. However, just as they were about to take it over, they suddenly felt that there was a layer of red light curtain on their bodies, and then they turned their heads in surprise and looked at me.

"The Spirit of Fire, the fire damage is invalid within one second, and it absorbs 30% of the fire damage in more than one second. That's all I can help you."

"Thank you, that's pretty good."

After getting my help, the Mummy Master and his group boldly walked into the stone forest. The steam itself is unlikely to squirt people at once. As long as you avoid it at the moment you are sprayed, the damage will not be too high. Unless you are unlucky to encounter several nearby holes and chains, you will generally not die. Now that 30% of the flames are absorbed, their survival is naturally higher.

Compared to the Mummy and the others, I was much more relaxed. With Ephrit blocking outside, not to mention that the holes were just spraying out steam, even if they sprayed magma, it would be no big deal.

Because I agreed to help me as bystanders, I could not enter the residence of Hephaestus with them, so I specifically asked them to leave for a few minutes, and after entering the stone forest, I also looked like a trip. I saw that momo deliberately distanced them from them.

Under the premise that I deliberately slowed down, I finally arrived at the periphery of Hephaestus' residence more than ten minutes later than the Mummy Mages.

This place is behind the stone forest, but not on the wall of the volcano, but on a large mouth on the ground, with a span of more than 30 meters. There is a circle of coiled downward steps along the wall. However, it looks very special, a bit like black, but the luster is not very correct.

I had been wondering why this place is called the lava land, but now I understand. This place is indeed a lava land, but the volcano behind it attracted attention, which is unexpected for ordinary people.

I walked down the steps, and I didn't know how many times I went around. Finally, I felt dizzy and finally got to the end. If I hadn't been to get a distance from the Mummy and the others, I would have jumped down just now, but now I can only hike like this.

Fortunately, the vertical bottom of xùe was not connected to the corridor like a palace, but went directly to a hall. Not only did I see the mummy master here, but I also saw several other groups of people.

Since these people are obviously divided into several small groups, I know that they are not all the way. Now it seems that there should be three gangs in addition to the Mummy Mage.

The one closest to me among these people is the Mummy Mage and his group. I guess it was probably because they arrived last, so they stood closest to the stairs. There were a total of sixteen people standing in front of them, which was a few more people than the Mummy Mage and the others, but their combat effectiveness may be weaker, because I feel that the professional configuration of this group of people is a bit luàn.

Located in front of the right of the Mummy Mage is a team with a relatively small number of people, with only about seven or eight people, but relatively speaking, the profession combination is more suitable, but the level does not look high, and I don’t know which one is stronger than the group on the left.

The last group was a group of people located directly opposite the Mummy Mage and the others. The number of these people was quite scary. At first glance, I couldn't count them clearly. In the end, I used the rapid computing power of the electronic brain to count them. There were more than 180 people in total. Almost half of the entire hall was occupied by them.

Seeing me appearing on the stairs, the crowds over there all turned their eyes to me, and they looked quite unfriendly. Just as I was stunned, a guy from the most crowded team suddenly stood up and scolded me arrogantly: "One over there, get out quickly, it's full today."

Of course I couldn't listen to him, so I ignored him and walked down the stairs. At the same time, I looked at the hall. In addition to these four groups of people, there was a natural one. In addition to the ground being flattened, there was a big five or six meters tall behind the group of people on the opposite side, but there were two guards standing beside me. The two guards were over seven meters tall, and even the big ones behind them had to bend over to get over. Moreover, they were covered in black armor like stone. If one of the guys hadn't turned his head and looked at me, I would have almost treated them as two statues.

While I was observing the two strange guards, the guy who was calling over there came angrily because I ignored it. However, after getting closer, he finally found that my equipment was a bit exaggerated. He was stunned for a moment, but thinking that he had so many people behind him, his courage immediately became stronger.

After pausing for a moment, he stepped forward to me, then stretched out his finger and poked it on my shoulder, and wanted to open his mouth and say something, but unfortunately, he was not lucky, and the revenge of the Dragon Soul suit was activated. A circle of golden light suddenly gathered from all over my body to the position on my shoulder where the guy was poked by the guy. Then, with a bang, the guy flew backwards directly, and after falling to the ground, there was no movement. And seeing that there was still smoke on his body, it seemed that there was a vague smell of roasting.

Gudong. Everyone around them swallowed their saliva. A guy who was more terrifying screamed directly: "I x, no? What equipment is this? Just forget it if you take it on, but this is too strong, right? It's almost roasted."

Perhaps this moment had enough shock effect, so when I walked into the crowd, no one of those people dared to jump out and say to tell me to get out. However, the boss in the team with the largest number of people on the opposite side had ordered someone to drag the half-cooked guy to the back and then turned to me again. The guy said in a very impolite tone: "I won't care about the person who hurt me, after all, he did it first. But even so, we still have to follow the rules here."

"Rules? What rules? Who made them?"

Perhaps because he was afraid that I would offend people, the mummy wizard standing not far from me pretended to be as arrogant as the guy before, reminded me: "What is this place? Can anyone else be there besides the God of Vulcan Hephaestus?"

"Since it's the rule of the master, you might as well listen."

The mummy master immediately said, "Listen carefully. According to the rules of His Excellency Hephaestus, he only does three things a day, whether it is sending and receiving tasks or asking him to make equipment. There are at most three things. Even you can count the total of five groups of people here, which means that two of them will definitely not be able to enter today."

I nodded, then raised my right hand with a fist and said slowly: "I understand, in the end, I have to rely on my fists to decide who is advanced first, right?"

As soon as I said this, the guy with muscles on the opposite side cursed arrogantly: "If you understand, get out of here. Although you have good equipment, you only have one person after all. There is no place for today's quota." After that guy suddenly turned his target to the other three groups of people and said: "You are the same, if you know the truth, get out of here. Our Fire Power Mercenary Group will book a yard today. We have all three mission opportunities. You all get out of here."

The xx mercenary group, xx alliance, xx club and other things in the game are actually the meaning of guilds, but the name is different. However, the president of the Fire Power opposite is really a master with a big muscle in his head, and he actually wants to pick four. It is true that you have too many people, but looking at the strength of the teams here, I think even if I don’t come today, the remaining three teams are enough to deal with their people. After all, among the four teams, they are the worst average strength. Even if there are a little more people, they probably won’t get anything good in the end.
Chapter completed!
