HAIL THE KING !
Chapters 34. The Unexpected Change
This quest is complicated, but it is crucial to the plot in the Diablo World as a whole. This is because after the player rescues the old 'obscene' Cain from a mysterious space called Tristram, the old man will be around the player wherever he goes and will provide all kinds of quests to link the plot together in Diablo.
Before Fei started the search, he checked his item and the details of his search.
It wasn't too challenging for Fei in his current state. After calculating the time, Fei felt that he could complete the quest in two hours if everything went smoothly. There would be extra time for him to do the things he planned to do before he was sent off. Fei decided to go and find the Inifuss tree.
Before leaving the camp, he looked at the hot mercenary Elena who was following him quietly. He thought of something and returned to Charsi, the female blacksmith. He spent about 1,000 gold coins and bought a strong bow, thick leather armor, a pair of thick leather boots and a high-quality hat made for the female character.
"Hey pretty, you can use these things, right?"
Fei had a bright smile on his face. He said to Elena, “If you can use this, then wear it. When facing monsters and demons, a little more power will increase our chances of survival. ”
"This .... . is for me? ”Elena was surprised; she didn't expect this at all. It feels too unbelievable.
"Do you think I'm so sick to use women's stuff?" Fei felt that the hot mercenaries in front of him were extremely excited. He was a little confused; these items were worth around 1,000 gold coins not as good as under the Fei standard. It was like comparing a small patch of grass with a large tree if they were placed next to Fei's weapons and armor.
"Why are you so excited?" Fei doesn't know.
"Thank you, young soldier. ”After making sure that the items were meant for her, Elena calmed herself down. He bowed and thanked Fei and took the items into the tent behind Charsi.
Soon, Elena's voice changing her clothes came from the tent; fei wished she had x-ray vision.
After about 20 seconds, Elena walked out. Fei's eyes glowed. Elena's new appearance was too good. The thick leather armor shrouded in light blue light had deciphered his perfect body. With a bow in her hand and an arrow on her back, she looked like a war goddess.
“Haha, it really suits you. Let's go!"
Fei felt that his nose would bleed in a moment. He pretended everything was fine, turned around and started walking towards the encampment gate.
The reason Fei bought this hot mercenary item was not purely because he was a heretic; elena was a great warrior. Increasing his strength would help Fei complete his quest quickly.
A smile appeared on Elena's face, but it disappeared a second later and her calm demeanor returned. He did not say anything and followed Fei calmly.
……
……
"Woosh!"
Three 【Fallen Shaman】 yells as they fall to the ground.
"Tink!"
A blue magic object fell from the monster's corpse. Fei was very excited. He picked it up and saw a uniquely shaped ring. It was not identified, so he did not know the properties of the item.
After using 【Identify Scroll】, Fei found that the ring was 【Glimmering Ring】, +8 Resources (Fury), +5 light radius. It was not very useful for barbarians fighting in close combat, but Fei was wearing it; it was better than nothing.
Elena looked around carefully, maintaining full vigilance while Fei did that. What made Fei feel strange was that he felt that Elena could not see the items falling from the monsters. This was because the hot mercenary looked at him strangely, as if he was a pantomime artist.
"Could it be that the inhabitants of the Diablo world like Elena could not see the things that fell from monsters?" Something about Fei, "So that means ... In this world, only I can get stuff from killing monsters? "
This hypothesis surprised Fei. He felt he had found something, but he could not think about it.
……
……
Time is tight. Fei and Elena moved quickly through the map.
In the deepest location of 【Stoney Field】 connected with 【Cold Plain】, Fei took Elena through a portal that took both of them to 【Underground Passage】.
There was no light in the passageway, and a cold wind was blowing towards them.
The sharp and fierce cries of monsters echoed through the deepest part of the passage. A fishy smell filled the passageway and made it even scarier.
"Be careful! Stay behind me. Remember, never go in front of me. '' Fei turned around and ordered the mercenaries.
He was a barbarian, who innately had more health and armor. He can act as a tank that blocks all damage on the front. Elena on the other hand was a long-range magic archer. He had high damage, but his health and armor were low. If a monster approached him, he would be in a dangerous situation.
Elena's stunned. He did not expect the young traveler in front of him to make such a decision. It was completely different from the scary myths circulating in 【Rogue Encampment】, where travelers would get the best value from their mercenaries as much as possible. Previously, Elena had thought that her fate would be like those of the women from 60 years ago; she would be used as bait to attract monsters by Fei and act as a human shield, but ……
While the hot mercenaries were still in shock, Fei had already started charging.
"Roar!"
Fei used a warcry- 【Howl】 as he swung his big axe.
He cut three times easily and he separated the three 【Goatman】 running towards him into six parts of the waist.
"Come on! We have to move quickly here! ”
Fei turned around and said to Elena while continuing to attack. She immediately disappeared into the darkness; elena finally reacted and chased after Fei.
Many monsters and demons rushed towards Fei like a flood. He stepped forward and was about to attack when he heard a hissing sound coming from behind him. Blue arrows flew past Fei and nailed the four monsters right on their heads. The magic on the arrow exploded and turned it into an ice sculpture; there was no life in it.
"It hurts!"
Fei gave Elena a big thumb.
this woman is not just a pretty girl to look at. His shooting skills are amazing. His four arrows hit the agile monsters accurately in the dark environment; his abilities had proved his worth to Fei.
Elena did not react at all to Fei's praise.
His bowstring continues to stretch, “Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh -” three more arrows shot and send three more 【Goatman】 to hell.
Fei discovers that these hot mercenaries are ice magic archers. All the arrows he shot were not only powerful and produced a lot of damage. It also slowed down their movement and attack speed. He was truly the best supportive mercenary Fei could hope for.
They keep moving through the hallway.
【Underground】 Passage is like a labyrinth. There were many paths and curved forks in that passageway; it was very easy to get lost. Monsters attack from various angles and hidden places. It was like an easier version of hell; a cold wind blew and monsters screamed.
Fei had done quite a lot of killing and had enough experience not to be affected by this.
Elena seemed to be experiencing a similar scene and was also not afraid.
Every time he pulled the bowstring, a monster was killed. Of course, when faced with 【Noda deformed】, 【Giant】 spider and 【Yeti Wendigos】, all of which are high-level monsters, it takes more work than just one arrow. Without Fei's help, he needed three arrows to take down one of them. Moreover, he had to keep his distance from the monsters during the process to make full use of his bow and arrow.
After about 20 minutes, their coordination became smoother. As if they knew exactly what the other person was going to do, they barely spoke to each other during the process, but they became more coordinated. Fei swung his axe and destroyed all the monsters close by, while Elena shot her ice arrow to kill the monsters further. Their steps moved beyond Fei's expectations.
"If we can continue this, we can reach 【Dark】 Wood and find that damn scroll under the Inifuss tree in less than half an hour!"
Fei became more optimistic about the mission.
At this time, something unexpected happened –
"UAHH !!!"
The hot mercenaries who were shooting at the monster behind Fei suddenly screamed. Fei heard panic, anger and sadness in screams; it was as if something terrible had happened.
