Chapter 631: The routine is a bit deep
The terrain to the east is more open, but also more complex, with vast plains, hills, low mountains and swamps, etc., all connected to each other, and the monsters here are mostly lions, raging rhinoceros, centaur tribes, and mysterious and ferocious beasts in the swamps.
The quarry is built under a mountain cliff, and from a distance you can hear "Ding Ding Bang!" The craftsmen are working in full swing, a busy scene.
The quarry covers a large area, and in addition to the processing area that you see today, the craftsmen have to go hundreds of meters away, around the small cliffs, to mine the stone that meets the requirements.
Lu Kuan found the person in charge of the quarry, a half-elf dressed plainly and with calloused hands.
"Oh? Do you want to go in person, my lord? ”
Seeing Lu Kuan coming, the half-elf showed surprise on his face and said, "This is great, you will personally go out and drive those giants away!" ”
It turned out that two days ago, a group of stone giants suddenly appeared near the quarry, and these guys attacked when they saw people, and the quarry guards and the other party encountered many times, and each time they were defeated.
Fortunately, the stone man did not pursue, just wandered around aimlessly, but in this way, the truck could not transport the stone to the construction site on time, so far, there have been two trucks of stone halfway encountered the stone giant, was smashed to pieces.
"I'm not afraid of danger, but the construction period can't be delayed,"
The half-elf NPC's tone was full of sorrow, and said: "Lord Deer, to tell you the truth, I patted Lord Rona on the chest and gave a package ticket, if I can't finish it on time, how can I have the face to go back to Rune City......"
Lu Kuan patiently listened to the other party's description, and seeing that the task log had been updated, Chong Ban Elf said: "I will check it, you can work with peace of mind." ”
After speaking, Lu Kuan glanced at Zhu Biao and the others, and walked away a few steps.
"Lu Shao, if I'm not mistaken, the stone giant is a monster above level 34,"
Zhu Biao frowned, and his tone was a little puzzled: "There will be such a refresh point for high-level monsters around here?" ”
Zhu Biao's feeling is very keen, if there is a high-level monster living abruptly on the low-level map, it is most likely a boss, like this kind of map, there are many monsters in the vast number of foils, and the real pig's foot is the boss.
But this is obviously not the case with Golem, if it was a level 35 boss, this quarry would have been leveled a long time ago, and Rona would have come over in person.
"I do remember something,"
Lu Kuan glanced at the map and said, "The stone giant's territorial awareness is very strong, and it is very taboo to have foreign intelligent creatures step into their territory, and they basically will not come out of their own territory. ”
Liang Shan heard this: "You mean, the quarry accidentally crossed the line?" ”
"It shouldn't be, the people sent here are all old natives of Rune City, it is impossible that they don't even have this bit of common sense,"
Lu Kuan shrugged and said, "It seems that we need to investigate." ”
Years of experience in the game have made Lu Kuan form a magical intuition, hearing the description of the half-elf, Lu Kuan's first feeling is that this task is likely to have a hidden secret, so he is not in a hurry to fight.
Next, Lu Kuan divided the nine people into 4 groups, and went to scout around the quarry, and then shared the map and monster distribution they explored with each other, so that they could get detailed information about the surrounding terrain for the first time.
From this operation, Lu Kuan could see that Zhu Biao didn't panic: everyone's movements were fast, and the system map that was originally covered with black fog was lit up piece by piece, and then connected together.
It seems to be a simple operation, but the map is not really so empty, and only the warning range of monsters is very closed, so that you can explore the map quickly and safely.
Lu Kuan nodded with satisfaction as he marked the red dot on the map, which was the location where the stone giants often appeared according to the half-elves.
"Lu Shao, there are stone giants here, and on the sunny slopes, you can see their habitats."
"I saw it too."
The team channel soon came with everyone's news, Lu Kuan looked at the map, and said: "It should be there, the stone giant likes a sunny and dry environment, but it's ......"
Lu Kuan frowned slightly, and in the team channel, Zhu Biao's voice came immediately: "It's still a long way from the quarry." ”
"Yes,"
Lu Kuan thought of the same thing: "This is very abnormal, why did the stone giant travel so far to find trouble with the quarry?" ”
The rest of the group had no clue and fell silent for a moment.
If you can't find the crux of the problem, can you just go and kill the monster? It's not that the level 34 monster can't be killed, but what if you kill the other party and come back, let yourself go to the stone giant's lair?
Unrealistic.
Lu Kuan habitually rubbed the stubble on his chin, frowned and thought, he felt a slight coldness on his face, and when he raised his head, he saw the rain falling, light like fluff falling on a bird's feathers, fluttering in the wind.
Has the autumn rain in Wood Throat Village already drifted here?
Lu Kuan looked at the dark gray-white sky, his heart moved, and he suddenly remembered one thing: At this time, it seems that it is the period when the stone giant is breaking the shell?
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Kuan immediately felt that he had grasped the crux of the problem, opened the map again, and quickly roamed around the quarry, and soon locked on a small area called Fox Hunting Forest in the southwest of the quarry.
"What's the monster here?"
Lu Kuan made a mark on the map and transmitted it to the team channel, and soon someone responded: "It is a very large beast, with a very large face, white flowers, and it looks quite crazy, I am too far away to see it clearly." ”
As soon as he heard this, Lu Kuan had already guessed that he was not far from ten, and immediately asked everyone to come over and gather, and went straight to the fox hunting forest.
It is said to be a forest, but in fact it is a narrow strip of land no more than 200 meters wide, located between two small hills, and the quarry is separated by a small hill, and several people lie in the grass, and the sound of beating stones from the quarry can be heard.
The trees here were almost dead, and there was a faint white mist in the air, and the drizzle was flying, creating a dark and cold atmosphere out of thin air.
"I'm the second Olympics...... What does it smell like......" There are already people in the team who can't help it, and they are choked by the smoke.
There was a stench in the white mist, which went straight to the brain, and it was so exciting that there were no priests and mages in the team - but even if there were, I am afraid that few people wasted skill points on the side spell of dispelling the stench.
Several people pulled out the black mask from their bags and put it on, Zhu Biao looked around and asked puzzledly, "Lu Shao, what are we doing here?" ”
"Do the task,"
At this time, Lu Kuan had already seen the figure of the beast moving in the woods, took off the longbow on his back, and said confidently: "The task of the stone giant may fall on these face foxes. ”
Several people looked puzzled, not seeing any connection between the two.
Lu Kuan let the wolves quietly touch forward, and explained to a few people with a smile: "The monster of the stone giant is oviparous, you all know it. ”
