Chapter 10 Entering the Aphotic Scar
"It has to be avoided."

Following An Ruosi's words, Claude said without hesitation.

That is a matter of course.It's just a young dragon, if you use a spear with a rope and a dragon hunting crossbow to tear it from the sky, even three or four Bronze level professionals can try to be a dragon slaying warrior.

But a large part of the reason why dragon life is difficult to deal with is that their huge size combined with the ability to fly is itself a big killer.

Before the origin of awakening, the dragon's air raid was almost unsolvable among creatures of the same level, and could only be dodged but not hard resisted.Even if it was the Glitter pterosaur not far away from them at this time, if Roland and his party were really locked in place by the Glitter's characteristics and forced to survive a round of air raids, it is very likely that there would be no chance of the next round...

"What should we do? Shall we go back?"

Roland asked deliberately.

"You can't go back. If the pterosaur comes out to look for food, and after eating almost all the ghosts in the matte path, it will most likely go to the dark forest to continue preying. If we turn around and run into the dark forest now , very likely to hit it head-on."

Croween said in a low voice.

"Then are we going to enter the Aphotic Scar?" Claudia frowned and asked, "What if we encounter more dangerous monsters inside?"

"But we have no choice."

Macon emphasized the current situation.Upon being reminded by him, the atmosphere in the team became tense for a moment.

"If you are worried about encountering monsters in the Dark Trace, don't worry," Roland said at this moment, "In the Dark Trace, all monsters are blind, and their perception range is extremely low. .Although people's field of vision will be suppressed to within three feet, that distance is twice as wide as the perception range of monsters."

"As long as we wrap the leather boots with cloth, it won't make too much noise. Let's walk a little slower and walk along the edge of the Aphotic Scar, so that if we encounter a monster, we can retreat immediately."

Hearing this, An Ruosi asked Roland: "But what if there are other people in the Dark Trace? What if we happen to run into the Skimmer Pterosaur returning from foraging when we return from the Dark Trace? "

"There can't be anyone in the Trace of Light."

Before Roland could answer, Macken vetoed very fiercely.

"...Why can't there be someone?"

On the contrary, An Ruosi was taken aback by Macken's attitude, and asked very confused.Macken ignored him, just lowered his head and looked like he was thinking about something.

An Ruosi is destined not to get an answer.

The corner of Roland's mouth curled up slightly.

Why can't there be someone in the Trace of Light?Because apart from the player druids, the Silent Swordsmen are the ones most familiar with this path.

As the only area between Karal and Bantha that does not have a border or a sentry, the Oak Mystery Lock is not as undefended as it seems.

Bansa has been a country for a long time, with a powerful force, and the state religion is the goddess of war. These three things alone make Karal have to guard against it.What's more, although Queen Ivana, the current ruler of Bansa, is young, she has already shown a strong talent for war and the aura of a mad dog.

Roland remembered that two months later, that His Majesty went to war with three countries at the same time, making his reputation as a mad dog completely spread around the world.After that, the White Tower collapsed, and Bansa was the first force that dared to pick up leaks on the land where the gods had ravaged.Many data emperors on the forum have analyzed that it was the harvest of that robbery that greatly enriched Bantha's heritage and gave Bantha the confidence to upgrade to an empire after the resurgence of the plague.

To describe this person in a few words, she is a fanatical war activist with a long-term vision and daring to fight. Some people even suspect that she is very likely to fight for the sake of war and simply enjoy war—but that person also It's just skepticism, not supported by evidence.

Although Ivana has not done anything earth-shattering yet, she can still taste the smell of madman no matter how far away she is.In order to guard against her, Karar also had to fortify the border with Bansa at all levels, including the dangerous place of Oak Mystery Lock.

If you look down from the sky, the entire stubborn oak chain is like a slightly twisted apple, and the area without traces of light is like the core, directly connecting Karar and Bansa.In order to prevent Ivana from trying to infiltrate the army from the Aphotic Scar to Karal, Karal had already sent secret troops to the Aphotic Scar.That unit was the Silent Swordsman, the predecessor of the Dumb Blade Unit.

You must know that the inner area of ​​the stubborn oak fan lock is more dangerous, and the weakest monster level in the dark scar is also above level [-].Multiple monsters can easily destroy a motley army.But the strength of the monsters in the Oak Mystery is inversely proportional to the vision, and the shadowy creatures have no sense of smell, and can only judge the movement of the prey through sight and hearing.

As Roland said, Lv Ying in the Aphotic Scar has completely lost his eyesight, and the silent swordsman with the ability to move silently is as invisible in the Aphotic Scar.

Therefore, there are a large number of high-level silent swordsmen who have been stealthily and silently patrolling in the Aphotic Scar like ghosts, and will not let anyone enter here without permission.After the task of cutting off the ring in the game is over, those druids who are not familiar with the terrain but rely on their professional advantages to brush solo, once they go too deep and stray into the Aphotic Scar, they will easily be behind the patrolling silent swordsmen. A sneak attack is a direct solution.

Therefore, it is theoretically impossible for there to be any enemies other than the Silent Swordsman inside the Dark Scar. Just now, Macon just said it in a hurry.Facing An Ruosi's question at this moment, he couldn't answer it at all.

How to say?Just say that I am actually a spy from a neighboring country, and I came to you to gather information. Now I am ready to return to my country to hand over my mission. I know this secret passage very well and you can just follow me. By the way, these are all my colleagues. You don’t have to. Just follow me if you're afraid.

So Claude could kill him on the spot.

Various thoughts flashed through Macon's mind, and then he immediately set his sights on Roland.

Druid, a special druid profession, has the same status as a royal scholar in other countries in Caral, and he is not surprised that Roland knows so much knowledge.Macken has vaguely heard that the power of Druid is determined by the amount of knowledge he has mastered. Seeing that Roland was able to perform the group monster hold technique before, he may have recognized his identity and mission with his knowledge. .

Hope he knows the way to the Aphotic Scar...

Otherwise, Macken really won't be able to come back.

Thinking of this, Macken cast his expectant eyes on Roland.As he expected, the Druid scholar with a girlish face smiled and nodded.

Macon couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.He raised his head and asked unhurriedly: "Roland, do you know how to enter the Aphotic Scar?"

"of course."

Roland looked around while agreeing, and then walked in a certain direction without hesitation.

"Actually, what An Ruosi said just now is not true," Roland said casually, "the pterosaur is not aggressive when it is not hungry-Del Ramos' breath polluted its blood and destroyed it at the same time. His intelligence. The young dragon now only has the wisdom of a subdragon, full of animality, and all actions can be predicted."

Roland didn't see it, but a strange light flashed in Kluvien's eyes just now.

"Our field of vision in the Dark Trace is no more than three feet at most. In order to prevent anyone from getting lost, we must maintain a good formation from now on."

As if he didn't notice anything, Roland continued.

"The formation should be as dense as possible without compromising flexibility. Travel in a shuttle-like dense array. There must be at least two people in each person's field of vision. Once you find that your field of vision is lost, immediately raise your voice to attract our attention. Also, concentrate Focus, try to keep yourself not too far forward and not too far back."

"I am familiar with the terrain and have strong perception. I stand in the front row. Behind me are Macken and Kluveen, and then An Ruosi and Miss Claudia," Roland turned around and said seriously , "Master Claude is the strongest, so I will trouble you to guard the rear."

"Leave me this old bone."

The old priest said with a smile.

"But," Claudia asked suddenly, "what about the carriage in the dark forest? And what about the guards stationed near the carriage?"

Before Roland could answer, Macken sneered.

"Miss, don't think about the carriage. In front of those greedy monkeys, there won't even be a horse left."

It was Kluvien who hadn't spoken for a long time who answered her.

"What's more, there is also a pterosaur." Macken added.

"Yes, there is also the pterodactyl. So Miss, I personally suggest that we don't go back, just take the trail from the dark scar and enter Karal, it is rare to have a druid to lead the way." Kluveen patted Stomach, said with a smile.

"Miss Claudia, if you insist on going back, I suggest you go back after the Pterosaur has returned from foraging. Before that, for your safety, I don't think Captain Macon will let you go back. "

Roland looked at Claudia quietly, with unclear meaning in his eyes.

"But those guards..."

She still wanted to argue something, but Father Claude put his hand on her shoulder lightly at this moment, and shook his head slightly at her.

"……ok, I get it."

Claudia bit her lip and whispered: "However, I hope that if possible, it would be better to go back and have a look."

"It's up to you. But I still prefer to pass through the Aphotic Scar quickly, after all, isn't your brother imprisoned?"

Clover shrugged nonchalantly.

After only a short while, Roland led a group of people to an inconspicuous black line.

He turned around and said with a serious face: "In the Matte Trace, the rules are different from those on the matte trail. In the Matte Trace, any lighting method will fail, even the White Tower Wizard's gem lamp and fire Anything that doesn’t have anything to do with it won’t work.”

"Also, don't touch any trees in the Aphotic Scar. Because one-third of the books here are phantoms. It's okay if there is nothing hidden in it. In case there is a ghost hiding in it to hibernate That's bad."

After making sure everyone heard it clearly, Roland stepped into the dividing line of the Dark Scar.Immediately, the twilight like the dawn disappeared completely, and even with the extraordinary eyesight of a professional, everyone could only see the hazy figures around them.

At this time, the figure in the front suddenly stopped, and then turned around and said softly: "We seem to have forgotten to prepare the cloth strips... Lord Claude, please use magic to eliminate the sound of our footsteps."

So Claude nodded undefended.
