Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 251 Curse the Valley

The speed of the inflatable life raft was not fast, and the sea tracking conditions were poor. After all, Su Lun and the others failed to catch up with the slave ship.

After drifting for nearly two days, they finally reached the coast.

The two did not go to Blizzard City, but went directly to the mountains and ridges, intending to go to the hinterland of the silent forest, which is the holy lake of the Dalu tribe, "Gayus Lake".

The area of ​​Silent Forest is very wide, and most of them are mountains and virgin forests, with rugged roads. It will probably take several days to go from the coast to the holy lake.

Although Su Lun's spider spear has excellent displacement ability in complex terrain, its endurance is far inferior to that of Uta, who lived in the forest since childhood.

Running around all day long, the body of a silver wolf is obviously more suitable.

Uta didn't mind him riding, and Su Lun readily accepted it, happy to be at ease.

Riding on the soft wolf's back was not too bumpy. Su Lun felt that the journey was idle, so he read a book and carved a puppet on the wolf's back.

Seeing that he wanted to read a book, Yuta jumped up and down lightly, like walking with the wind.

After getting along for a few days, the two gradually became acquainted. While chatting, Su Lun also realized that he was probably the first and only human being who could ride a druid.

After all, Druids have a high status among the Daru tribe. They are priests who communicate with the gods. It is very rude to ride a druid.

Unless the druid wants to.

The Silent Forest is a primeval forest that has existed for countless years, and the dense forest is full of giant trees with sliding covers. It is 100 meters high, surrounded by dozens of people, and the forest can be seen everywhere. The branches and leaves stretch into a sea of ​​trees, and in some places, the leaves are so dense that the light cannot penetrate. It's cold and humid, and there are hidden murderous intentions.

Except for the traces of wild animals, there is no way to find in the forest. The weird magnetic field can even disable the compass.

If Su Lun came alone, even if he would not get lost, he would definitely not dare to walk so fast.

Here, there are all kinds of predators lurking everywhere.

It's okay to have a soul, and you can still perceive it. Deadly soulless insects and plants are the deadliest.

Fortunately, there is Uta, a competent guide.

The two moved forward quickly, and she also introduced Su Lun to the strange creatures in the forest along the way.

"That's the 'fog demon'. It looks like a ghost. It's a kind of forest elf. It can occasionally make people get lost, and it's not dangerous."

"The black tree with red fruits over there is the 'devil tree'. It is actually a tree-shaped monster that emits a scent to induce prey to look for food. This is the camouflage on the top of its head. The body is hidden underground. Dangerous. Even the second-tier giant forest bear can't get rid of its vines."

"They are 'black thorn ants'. Don't underestimate them. They are highly poisonous. And they are very vengeful, and the number is endless. If you accidentally trampled to death a few, they will chase you after dozens of kilometers, and then bite you Eat clean. This is one of the few creatures in the forest that you should not provoke."

"That kind of fallen leaves is where the 'Titan anaconda' often hunts and hides. Their skin is exactly the same color as the fallen leaves, so it is difficult to find. Once they get close to their attack area, the bison can be swallowed in one bite."

"The Silent Forest is very large, and there is an endless sea of ​​ice to the north; further to the east is the very tall 'Luge Mountain'. I heard from the old people in the clan that there are giant dragons on the mountain. I don't know about the mountain. I haven’t been there either. There are brave people in the tribe who have been there, but no one has returned. Even our Dalu tribe is only a part of the forest.”

"."

Su Lun also heard a lot of legends about the Dalu tribe from Uta. The special product of this forest is Warcraft, which has increased a lot of strange knowledge.

Her mouth is full of awe of nature.

This is also the attitude of the Dalu people towards the world. They feel that they are not the masters of the forest, but just a part of it.

Uta's speed is very fast, even if it is a cliff, it can easily climb over it.

After going ashore, they rushed all day, and in the evening, they had reached the deepest part of the silent forest.

When the sun was about to set, Uta did not continue on his way, but stopped at a clearing in the forest where the sun could shine.

She turned to Su Lun and said, "Let's camp here tonight. If it is not a special case, it is best not to walk around in the forest at night. That will attract many nocturnal monsters. In the forest, there are fourth-, fifth-, and even sixth-level monsters." Warcraft are not uncommon, and they are very dangerous to encounter. But they generally have their own territory and will not run around."

"Um."

Su Lun responded and jumped off the wolf's back.

Uta looked around again, and seemed very satisfied with this camping spot, "It just so happens that the sun shines here, it's dry, and there are very few bugs."

As she said that, the hair on her body fell off quickly, and she returned to her human form.

The evening sun penetrated the branches like bunches of golden ribbons. Light and shadow flowed over her body, blooming with a golden glow. In this rough stone forest, the naked and beautiful carcass is pleasing to the eye, wild, powerful, pure, and the graceful lines are full of beauty.

Even Su Lun couldn't help but take another look.

In his eyes, he seemed to see a shining and beautiful sculpture of Wen Yu. It's not about lust, but about the beauty that really blends with nature.

Uta also noticed that gaze, and the wolf ears on the top of his head twitched playfully, and then covered it up a little.

It was this slight sideways movement, the halo flowed, as if the golden ribbon could not stay on the smooth and tender skin, slipped from the heroic and pretty face, onto the delicate clavicle shoulder, and from the beautiful back. It fell down and caressed gently on Tingqiao.

She was not shy either. She smiled slightly, showing a pair of small fangs, and asked, "Mr. Su Lun, in the eyes of you humans, is it impolite to be naked?"

Su Lun narrowed his eyes, looked into her eyes, and responded with a smile: "It's good."

Uta listened to the eyes turning, smiled and did not speak again.

The slight smile at the corner of his brow seemed to know that what Su Lun said was another compliment to himself.

After she got dressed, she turned to say, "Mr. Su Lun, wait here for a while, I'll get some food back."

"Um."

Su Lun wanted to say that he had dry food on him, but before he could say anything, he looked at Youta, leaving him with a wonderful back, and disappeared into the dense forest.

In terms of material life, the Dalu people are still in the state of primitive society.

They obtain food basically by hunting and picking wild fruits in the forest.

Therefore, various large and small tribes are scattered throughout the forest, and each has a hunting territory.

In recent years, many tribesmen have been captured by human slave hunting teams, and the population of the tribe has plummeted. Only then did the hunting circle gradually shrink into the forest.

Soon, Su Lun knew why Uta chose to camp now.

There was still a little light in the sky, but the setting sun in the west was getting higher and higher, and it couldn't shine into the lush forest in a blink of an eye.

Su Lun only felt that the surrounding light suddenly dimmed.

This is not a human city, and the lights are on at night. There is no light source in the virgin forest, it is really dark.

Not suitable for traveling at all.

The night wind howled in the forest, and the sound of an unknown animal trampling on dead branches could be heard next to my ears. In the endless darkness, there seemed to be pairs of eyes staring at him.

Although Su Lun came out of the dungeon, he was no stranger to darkness. But in this jungle, he also felt a sense of crisis.

There is a towering giant tree behind him, he is like an ant on the giant's foot.

In front of nature, human beings are really small.

Suddenly, Su Lun felt a vague feeling in his heart, but he didn't know what it was.

He sat cross-legged on the ground and began to meditate.

Not long after all, I didn't catch that fleeting insight after all.

Su Lun didn't feel any regrets. He calmly found some dead branches and lit a bonfire.

The fire light dispelled the darkness, and in this endless dark night, it made people feel inexplicably at ease.

Sitting by the campfire, he took out the [Black Hole Doll] that he hadn't finished during the day and continued to carve.

Now his understanding of the laws of space has gone up several steps, and there are many things that can be improved in the puppet made before. Because he didn't have to ride on the back of a wolf, he could control the eight-armed spider lance with all his strength. The expected finished product will have a much higher performance than the previous one, and it can easily swallow even fourth-order spells.

Su Lun also quickly immersed himself in making puppet.

Just fiddled with it, and not long after, there was a rustling sound next to my ear.

The footsteps were very light, and he knew that Uta had returned.

Uta came over, threw the two to three hundred catties of wild boar on his shoulders to the ground, and said happily: "Mr. Su Lun, today was lucky, and we hunted a 'mountain wild boar' within a short distance. also."

Su Lun took a look at the burly head, "Wow, I seem to be lucky tonight."

He felt as if he should do something, and said, "Do you need my help?"

Uta shook his head: "No. It will be dealt with soon."

As she spoke, she skillfully skinned the wild boar with a small knife in her hand and disposed of its internal organs.

When dealing with the pig's head, Yuta let out a sigh: "Hey, there is also a magic crystal."

Su Lun glanced at the yellow crystal nucleus with blood in her hand, feeling a little curious.

It was the first time he saw the magic crystal taken out of the Warcraft body.

First-order magic crystals with sufficient energy can be sold for several thousand lisuo in the market.

In this silent forest, there are treasures everywhere, which is a gift from nature.

After quickly processing the fur of the wild boar, Uta pinched a blueberry-like berry she picked from the forest and smeared it on the pork.

The bloody pork was put on wooden sticks and smoked on the bonfire, and she threw some branches into the fire that would have a special aroma after burning.

The roasted meat is full of fragrance, golden and oily.

Su Lun originally thought that without spices, the taste of roasted wild boar would not be ideal.

Unexpectedly, the secret recipe of the Daru people made the smell of barbecue very attractive, and there was a sweet and fruity smell in the air.

It didn't take long for the meat on the surface of the grill to be cooked first.

Utta took a few large pieces with a small blade and put them on the huge washed leaves.

She handed it to Su Lun: "Mr. Su Lun, you have a taste of the craftsmanship of our Dalu tribe."

Uta, who returned to the forest, looked free, and the happiness in his heart was overflowing on his face. There was always a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

Su Lun put a piece into his mouth with a knife and fork, and bit it down. It was burnt and crispy, and the rich meaty aroma flowed between his lips and teeth, which greatly satisfied his taste buds. He couldn't help but admire: "Well, it's delicious. !"

It was truly the best roast he had ever had.

Juta smiled happily after hearing his words.

Wild boar on the grill, cut into pieces.

For this warrior who rescued the tribe, the druid lady was very enthusiastic.

Su Lun didn't need to do it himself, Uta would always take good care of him.

The two are no longer strangers, and Su Lun has not shy away from Juta. Even at mealtimes, he multitasked with his puppet.

Uta was also curious while eating the barbecue, "Mr. Su Lun, I see that you have been carving this puppet. Is there anything special about it?"

Su Lun explained: "I am a puppeteer, and this is my puppet."

Hearing this, Uta's face was full of doubts: Manipulating that strange iron giant is not your profession, why is it wooden again now?

She asked curiously: "I can feel that these puppets have great power. But how do they fight?"

The system of human alchemists is very different from that of the Daru people, and it is hard to explain in a few words. Su Lun thought about it and explained, "I can manipulate it with a thread like a spider."

"oh."

Uta blinked, obviously not completely ignorant of the breeding outfit: "Is it the alchemy breeding outfit in your human alchemy?"

"Um."

Su Lun nodded without explaining much.

"That's it"

Uta didn't know if he understood or not, and continued to eat the barbecue.

While eating, he added some more to Su Lun.

Daru doesn't have that many complicated things.

Their growth process is also very simple, hunting, fighting, eating, sleeping, praying... Then they become stronger. Power is bestowed by blood and gods.

When talking about breeding clothes, Su Lun thought of the main purpose of his trip to the Northland, and asked, "By the way, Elder Uta, I have a question for you."

"Mr. Su Lun just calls me by my name. We are friends, so you don't need to be so polite."

Uta smiled kindly, and then said: "What's wrong?"

"Um."

Su Lun nodded, and then said again: "I asked you a question before. I just wanted to ask where there is a group of 'nightmare spiders' in the forest? I need a third-level or fourth-level lord-level spider to make alchemy Breeding outfit."

"I do know that there are several communities of that kind of spider in the forest. There is one in the hunting area of ​​our 'White Wolf Tribe'."

Yuta thought about it and responded.

After a pause, she changed the topic, and said again: "However, the mature body of 'Nightmare Spider' is generally at the second level, and it is rare to see the third level. It is even more difficult for that kind of spider group to have a lord monster. At least I I haven't seen it. Maybe there may be hidden in the crypts of some caves."

Su Lun was not too surprised.

"Lord level" monsters are indeed rare.

But if the quality is too low, he feels that it is not suitable as his own breeding material.

Juta saw what Su Lun was thinking, and said, "The forest is huge, so it shouldn't be difficult to find a lord spider. When we go to the holy lake, I'll ask other tribes for you, maybe they know."

After a pause, she said with certainty: "If it doesn't work, I'll go find it with you."

Su Lun smiled and said, "Yes. Thanks in advance."

It was only after entering the forest that he deeply realized that having the help of the Dalu tribe could indeed save him countless time.

"By the way, Mr. Sullen"

At this time, Uta thought of something again, and asked: "Did you find that nightmare spider to make alchemy equipment? I mean, is there any other alternatives? There are many, many species of monsters in the forest. One, maybe the other could be substituted?"

Su Lun said: "Well. I need a creature that is good at mental manipulation"

Naturally, there were more than one material for making the colony outfit. The blueprints he got from his teacher Sereya introduced a lot of alternative materials.

"Nightmare Spider" was just one of the easiest targets to obtain from the information he knew.

Utta: "Mind manipulation?"

"Um."

Su Lun looked at her as if thinking of something.

He thought, in the Adventurer's Guild, it has always been said that there are many species of creatures in the Silent Forest that have become extinct from the outside world, maybe Uta knows something else.

He then mentioned several types that satisfied the [Spiritual Tentacles] blueprint, and said, "There are also 'Nightmare Octopus', 'Thousand-Eyed Centipede', 'Mind Flayer', 'Abyss Evil Eye'."

Listening to the string of names, Uta suddenly caught a word and asked, "Mind flayer? Is it the kind of evil race with fleshy tentacles and beards?"

Su Lun heard her description, which was exactly the same as the one in the classics, and asked curiously, "Have you seen it?"

Uta had a serious look on his face, "I haven't seen it. But I know there is such a thing in the forest."

She seemed to recall some unpleasant memory, and her complexion became unsightly.

Hearing this, Su Lun was really surprised.

There is a "mythical" creature like "Mind Flayer" in the Silent Forest?

This is an evil creature that exists in myths and legends, something that has long been extinct.

I asked Mr. Jing specifically before, even she had never heard of its existence.

Is it really alive now?

There is no simple species that can appear in fairy tales!

If you can really use that kind of monster as a breeding material, it is definitely a T0-level choice.

Su Lun couldn't help looking forward to it.

But he saw Uta's complexion was not very good, guessing that this might involve some secret of the Dalu tribe, he hesitated whether to ask Yao.

But at this time, Uta took the initiative to say: "There is such an evil species in the 'Cursed Valley' in the far north. But that is the territory of the giant tribe, and it is also a 'forbidden place' where the elders of the tribe do not allow them to go."

Su Lun: "The territory of the giants? Forbidden land?"

In the battle at sea before, the two already had enough trust. Uta didn't hide it, and said slowly: "Well. The reason for the decline of our Dalu tribe is actually the "Battle of the Cursed Valley" five hundred years ago."

Su Lun's expression froze, realizing that Yao had really touched some secrets of the Dalu tribe.

In the Daru tribe a thousand years ago, there were quite a few real archdruids of the seventh and eighth ranks.

Now the highest level is only fifth level, and the inheritance has not been broken, so where are those high levels?

Without waiting for Su Lun to ask, Uta explained the doubts in his heart, and slowly revealed the biggest secret of the Dalu tribe, "There was a big earthquake five hundred years ago. An earthquake occurred in the far north of the forest. A prehistoric relic emerged, which is now the 'Cursed Valley'. The great God of Nature sent down an oracle, which was the 'source of disaster'. We Dalu people guarded there to prevent disasters. Unexpectedly, the appearance of the ruins has attracted a powerful giant from the deep sea who wanted to steal the things in the ruins. It has huge wings, octopus beards, and it will emit terror that makes people lose their minds And then, the big fight happened."

"We don't know what happened. Everyone who participated in the battle died, and there is very little information handed down. Our family won the victory, but all the archdruids died in the battle, and the four holy artifacts in the family were also lost. We have lost the ability to communicate with the great god of nature. The inheritance of our Daru people has also been cut off."

"Later, when we realized that we had lost the supreme power, humans tore up the covenant. Slave catchers appeared in the forest. There were more and more high-level druids. We didn't resist at all. We lost countless people over the years."

"."

When Su Lun heard this, he also roughly understood the entire process of the decline of the Daru people.

But listening to the description in Uta's mouth, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

How does it feel that the "source of disaster" is like a space passage leading to a dangerous plane?

That "deep-sea giant" can destroy the masters of the Dalu tribe, and it feels like it is at least a ninth-level existence.

It does not rule out a "god order" like the fallen angel in Old Lingdun.

But the information was too vague, and doubts came to my mind.

Having said that, Yuta returned to the topic of [Mind Flayer], saying: "The ancestors did not let us go to the north, and we have always followed this ancestral precept. But then our Dalu tribe encountered too many It was so difficult that the clan was almost wiped out. Thirty years ago, some clansmen wanted to check it out, to find the Four Sacred Artifacts and inheritance, and to obtain a way to communicate with the gods again. But that time, they also encountered the 'mind flayer' that This kind of monster caused heavy casualties to the tribe. After that, the Cursed Valley became a forbidden place for our tribe.”

After listening to the whole story, Su Lun fell into deep thought.

The matter involved is quite troublesome, and it is a prehistoric relic, a sacred artifact, and a war.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that it is not an unsolvable trouble.

Now the Daru tribe is weak, but it still exists, so that is to say, those [Mind Flayers] are not too strong.

Moreover, mind flayers themselves do not have combat power, their tricky part is that they can control other creatures.

Judging from the strength of the fifth-level strongest Dalu clan, the mind flayer should not be able to control sixth-level creatures. In other words, the mind flayer thirty years ago should have been at the third or fourth level? (Of course, hidden BOSS is not excluded)

Looking at it this way, it seems that this matter can be pondered over.

Moreover, the words of prehistoric ruins also mean a huge opportunity!
