12. There is no way back
Starfall Lake.
A lake formed by the power of the stars, but for some unknown reason, this lake is not safe, but is full of violent and chaotic demonic power. The closer you get to the center of the lake, the more terrifying this power becomes, the viscous liquid that flows from the uneven holes in the stars, and anyone who gets their hands on it will be directly torn apart by the violent magic in an instant.
And this starfall lake, although it seems that the magic that escapes from it, is no different from ordinary lakes, but in fact, the entire bottom of the lake is full of crazy undercurrents, and anyone who falls into the water will also end up with a body torn apart by the undercurrent.
The monsters didn't dare to approach because they couldn't withstand the violent magic here.
Even if it is a human being, Durune and the others have already begun to feel physical discomfort.
Regarding the history of Starfall Lake and Starfall Forest, there were countless research party players in the game who tried to study and deduce based on the historical background of the game, but until Sean came to this world, there was still no clear answer or method. However, no matter how much these people argued, there was one fact that all the Exquisite Party had to acquiesce, that is, there was indeed a fifth-order rank dungeon entrance at the bottom of the Starfall Lake, but the entry conditions were more stringent.
In Miracle, there are two types of dungeons, one is a normal dungeon and the other is a rank dungeon. Ordinary dungeons are accessible to anyone, and there are no obvious restrictions on this kind of dungeon, such as dungeon dungeons, regional dungeons, etc., which belong to this category, such as the "Wandering Darkness" completed by Sean before, which can be regarded as belonging to this type of dungeon, and this kind of dungeon can be seen everywhere in the entire world.
As long as you think you're strong enough, it's okay to challenge those monster-level dungeons.
And the rank dungeon is not so easy to enter. This kind of dungeon is somewhat similar to the relic dungeon of "The Prosperous Age" back then, and it is not specific, and this kind of dungeon must be completed through the completion of relevant tasks before having the opportunity to enter, for example, a dungeon that requires a fifth order to enter, then you only have a fourth-order or already a sixth-order, then you will never be able to enter this dungeon, only those who require a fifth-order or more class dungeon, then the sixth-order rank can enter.
Therefore, whether the level or above is required is also carefully identified by the players at the beginning, and it is possible to miss it if you don't pay attention to it.
However, everything about the Starfall Lake at the moment has nothing to do with Sean and the others, and Sean doesn't plan to cause other troubles here, he just asks everyone not to get too close to this Starfall Lake, and then let them rest at will.
The fatigue of the past few days made Sean know that if this team does not get enough rest here, then they don't need to continue the next trip. And looking at the appearance of those wind-patterned black wolves around them who still refused to disperse, Sean also knew very well that their back road was only gone, and if they didn't completely cross the entire Starfall Forest now, all of them would probably die here.
Although everyone was a little uncomfortable because of the berserk magic of the Starfall Lake, it was rare to be able to really calm down and rest, so after a while, the most physically and mentally exhausted guards fell asleep first, snoring slightly. And immediately after, Harley, Cecilia and the shooter couldn't stop the physical and mental exhaustion and drowsiness, and soon fell asleep, just looking at Cecilia's face, it was obviously not very comfortable.
But think about it, after all, the berserk magic emitted by the Starfall Lake is really terrifying, and with Cecilia's amazing talent, it is not a good thing at this moment.
The only people who were still awake were Sean, Durune, and Old Peter. …,
As a veteran, one of the rewards for his profession is that the physical strength and energy consumed during the battle are all reduced by 50%, in other words, even if everyone present falls, he still has the strength to fight. And after the third order, you can open the professional talent, and with the improvement of the rank, the professional talent can also be re-selected or strengthened, but at this point, Sean does not know which one old Peter's professional talent is chosen.
Old Peter's military sword was lost on the night when it was attacked by the windstriped black wolf pack, but even so, with a long spear, Old Peter's combat effectiveness is also extremely strong, and in the face of the attack of the wolf pack, long weapons are indeed cheaper than short weapons.
At this time, old Peter sat down on the ground, and then began to tear up the jerky and chew it slowly.
Seeing Old Peter's movements, a wind-striped black wolf let out a low roar, and then couldn't hold back his impulse to rush through the cordon that made the wolves fearful, and rushed towards Old Peter, eager to treat Old Pete as jerky. But before the wind-patterned black wolf could rush over, countless blue fluorescents rushed into its body as if it had been attracted by something, propping up its body and swelling up.
Bang!
There was a loud bang, and everyone was awakened, but before everyone could react, a rain of blood fell from the sky.
Among the countless pieces of flesh and blood, Old Peter was all over, but the dried meat in his mouth did not stop because of this, it looked extremely terrifying, but his eyes showed a solemn look: "The discipline of these demon wolves is really high, so they can only attract one in." ”
Old Peter's jerky is naturally the meat of the wind-patterned black wolf.
Sean wanted to say something, but at this moment, a high-spirited wolf voice sounded in the distance, all the wind stripe black wolf movements stopped, and they all pricked up their ears as if they were listening to something, and then there were two wolf sounds, one long and one urgent, and all the wind striped black wolves turned around and left. In an instant, all the wind-patterned black wolves that had originally surrounded the Starfall Lake were gone, and if it weren't for the fine pieces of flesh and blood in front of them, no one would have believed that they had almost been wiped out not long ago.
"The Wolf King." Sean's brows furrowed, and there was a faint premonition of bad luck in his heart.
If there is anything in the entire Starfall Forest that makes him feel the most tricky at this stage, then there are only the two third-order lord-level bosses of the Wind Pattern Black Wolf King and the Blood Flame Lion King. As for the other black knight, after all, it is the boss in the dungeon, and it is the target that Sean and others must face, so even if it is tricky, he can't help it. Only these two monster bosses, if he can, Sean definitely doesn't want to provoke them.
But for now, it's clearly not possible.
When all the windstreaked black wolves had left, a giant wolf that was twice the height of a normal windstreaked black wolf walked out of the forest.
The black fur on its body has a texture like a streamer, and on the surface it does not look like the obvious green texture of the ordinary wind-patterned black wolf, but in fact, it also has a green texture under the black fur, but it is no longer exposed on the fur, but imprinted on the flesh. This wind-streaked black wolf just stood in front of everyone, and did not make a roaring sound or grinning hideous appearance, but everyone, including Durune and Old Peter, changed their faces, and they could clearly feel the extremely strong sense of danger and oppression on this wind-streaked black wolf.
Wind Stripe Black Wolf King.
However, what made everyone a little relieved was that this Wind Pattern Black Wolf King did not step into the influence range of the Star Meteor Lake, but after glancing at everyone from a distance, he turned around and left, which made everyone feel a little relieved, if this Wind Pattern Black Wolf King really rushed in, they really didn't know how to deal with it. For Du Ruan and the others, if there is any magical beast in the Starfall Forest that makes them feel the most terrifying, then there is only the species of Wind Striped Black Wolf, and the ineffective combat method of physical attack is indeed very difficult for people to adapt to. …,
"What's wrong with you?" While everyone was rejoicing, only Old Peter noticed the abnormality on Sean's face.
"We're really being targeted this time." Sean's face was very ugly.
He knew very well that the Wind Striped Black Wolf King actually had the ability to enter the influence range of the Starfall Lake, and would not be directly poured into the magic power and explode like other Wind Striped Black Wolves. But this Wind Stripe Black Wolf King didn't do this, so it's obvious that it actually has some scruples, but what it really cares about is not the size of the team of Sean and the others, judging from the results of the past two days, everyone is actually very clear that once they are besieged by the Wind Stripe Black Wolf Pack, they will definitely be dead.
Therefore, there is actually only one person who the Wind Pattern Black Wolf King really cares about.
Cecilia.
As a magician, you are also affected by the tide of magic, of course, this influence is not static, it can be bad or good. Luckily, Cecilia's influence is a good thing, because here in the Starfall Forest, she can use the strength of a third-order official mage, and near the Starfall Lake like now, Cecilia's magic power will become even stronger. It was precisely because of this that the Wind Striped Black Wolf King did not venture into this place to fight Sean and the others, because as long as it was dragged, Cecilia alone would have enough means to make it deadly.
"Let's all get up, we don't have time to rest." Glancing up at the bright moon in the night sky of the Starfall Forest, Sean said with a gloomy face, "Now we are halfway through our journey, thanks to the beasts, we arrived here nearly three days earlier than expected, and then we can leave this forest as long as we pass through the outpost." ”
Hearing Sean's words, everyone's faces showed a trace of joy that could not be concealed, they were really fed up with what had happened in the past few days.
"But!"
The phrase "but" suddenly made everyone's hearts tug.
"The rest of the journey is going to be more difficult than what we've encountered these days." Sean's words suddenly made everyone a little stunned.
More difficult? What kind of concept is that?
"I was supposed to let you all get a good rest before you hit the road, but now I really can't." Sean sighed softly, "I'll just tell you this, these Wind Stripe Black Wolves have all experienced the war between Serian and Portoroa, and the IQ of the Demon Beast is not low, without the constraints of the Wolf King, they are not too smart, but the Wolf King is here, or it will be all their eyeliner around in half an hour, and as soon as we step out of the influence range of the Starfall Lake, we will be attacked by countless Wind Pattern Black Wolves." ”
"Our retreat is long gone, so we only have one way left now, and that is to set off now and step into the land of black earth before the encirclement of the windstriped black wolf pack is formed."
"Black soil!?" Cecilia let out an incredulous exclamation.
"The second half of our trip is the black soil field?" And Du Ruen's face changed suddenly in an instant.
