A subjugated princess will never die a vagabond

Practicality is one aspect, but on the other hand, she may want to take advantage of her and take this opportunity to buy a mascot for the expedition team!

Although they scolded Kaisan, no one really stroked his beard. The explorers traveled all the way to the north gate, and there were twelve slender heavy armors surrounded by star rings on the towering city wall that could run horses. .

[Watch Outpost] It was built based on the ruins of the ancient kingdom fortress. According to the information explored so far, there are more than one such fortress ruins. After passing through this gate, it is the villages, towns and cities they guard, gray-green ferns Plants grow over the plains and hills, and man-eating vines and weird plants hide in the ruined walls.

"Father!" Bophia saw Brito and Yati in front of the city gate from a distance, and happily led Sleepy Bear over, saying, "We bought the beast of burden!"

Brito was stunned for a moment, then gave Bophia a hard look, and then looked apologetically at Cloris, which made the girl even more convinced of Bophia's intention for choosing the black bear.

"I'll sell it to you when I come out of the ruins."

Cloris greeted her with a smile.

"Chop up the bear's paw and put it in the bread for your meal."

The girl's eyes wandered over Sleepy Bear, who suddenly felt chills all over his body. It looked back blankly, but what it saw was Cloris's beautiful and friendly smiling face, which was completely different from the indifferent face it played at first. Miss is like two different people.

In fact, after affirming Brito's character, Cloris doesn't need to continue to put on a "camouflage".Because of Sasha, she has a relatively in-depth understanding of the Night Plateau, and it is no problem to act alone with Naina and Coffin Poison, but it is difficult for a mere rotten wood-level explorer to be released by [Outpost Watch].

Although the casualty rate in the exploration of the ruins on the plateau at night is high, the Explorers' Guild doesn't want weak chickens to die in vain.

Therefore, pretending to be an "innocent" and "arrogant" young lady can not only relax the vigilance of teammates, but if she really joins a black-hearted expedition team, Cloris is also ready to be black and black.

However, due to the coincidence created by the black hands behind the scenes, some of her and Naina's cards have been exposed. At the same time, Brito is indeed a gentleman, so there is no need for the girl to continue acting.

There was a bearded dwarf about 140 centimeters standing beside Brito. He looked at the coffin with a smile and asked Brito, "Is this the accompanying doctor you are looking for? Sure enough, he is talented, looks outstanding, and is as beautiful as Lomus has massive muscles! Uh...why do you have two apprentices?"

"This is Miss Ke," Brito introduced embarrassingly. "This is her servant, Ms. Prisna Valint, and this is Miss Ke's teammate, Miss Kona."

The dwarf's smiling face instantly changed direction, without any embarrassment: "Let me just say, how can a doctor who is a top student have such an uncoordinated body proportion? I can feel the extraordinaryness of Miss Ke from a long distance. Feet, no more, no less..."

"Golden Beard, please don't say a few words," Brito interrupted him, and introduced to Cloris, "This is the deputy leader of the Golden Beard Expedition Group, he is my fellow villager, and he is also the partner of our cooperation this time. .”

"One-horned lizard, is there something wrong with this dwarf's head?" Cloris got along better with the lizardmen from the tribe. The guy has a racial blood debt with Kaisan.

"He doesn't like girls like you, and he hates the flattery of you humans," the one-horned lizard stated in a non-derogatory tone, "but you can tell that he is studying hard. It's only been five or six years, and I'm 20 years old this year, so it's normal to be a little immature."

"A... bitch like me?"

"In short, a beautiful Lomus dwarf woman must have a well-proportioned figure—strong, as wide as she is long, and as muscular as a hill, preferably capable of knocking a man down," said the unicorn Li Weilun explained in a low voice, "You are the shortest among us, the most 'well-proportioned' for a golden beard, but you are not strong enough, in his drunken words, human women are deformed like a sick Yangzi."

"..."

Doesn't this mean that if Arista came to the territory of the Lomes dwarves, it would be enough to overwhelm the country?

"But not all dwarves are like this," the one-horned lizard comforted. "Although you don't have smooth scales, it's not in line with our tribe's preferences, but from the perspective of public aesthetics, you can be considered attractive..." He He added uncertainly, "Probably."

As the one-horned lizard said, with the strong invasion of metahumans, their aesthetic preferences are gradually affecting various intelligent races.

Even the one-horned lizard, who didn't think Cloris was beautiful at first, can gradually appreciate this "beauty" under the influence of human beings, and finally recognize the "beauty" of human beings under the cognitive transformation of generations.

"Let's go if there is no problem." Mirmo is old and strong. He has a keen sense of hearing, but he didn't care about the conversation between Cloris and the one-horned lizard. He paid more attention to another matter, and said in a joking tone, " Watch out for 'accidents', Miss Ke, you said there was a way out of it, and I was expecting to spend my pension."

410. Put it on me

Night Plateau, Suspension Terrace, Camp No. 26.

Unlike the expedition that Cloris had imagined, the explorers did not plunge into the unfathomable ruins in groups of three or five without logistics, but explored unknown areas in groups , establish a supply point at a suitable place, and then further radiate from point to surface.

So far, explorers have established 27 camps on the border of more than [-] miles south of the ancient kingdom, and each camp has thousands of explorers stationed there.

The Suspension Terrace is a high-lying plain, barren ferns grow in the wet soil or rock cracks, meandering water flows from the distant hills, falls to the end in the increasingly narrow river, along the smooth cliffs Straight into the deep stream.

Nearby, the medieval-style stone-built town stands on the slope, facing the field ridge that has been abandoned for countless years, and leaning against the abyss-like rift valley, a crumbling iron chain is the only way to the other end.

"Crossing the iron chain, the place we are going this time is Area 48, which has never been visited by anyone..."

Beside the bonfire, Brito spread out a parchment scroll more than six meters long and nearly three meters wide. The lines on it floated up one by one, protruding rough city walls, buildings, streets, clock towers and various buildings. There are still only vague lines in some areas, as if in a fog.

Brito pointed to a sentry tower on the edge with his baton: "This is the city outpost. It is the only observation point and supply point we have on the front line. The current intelligence is that the city's underground river has suffered Heavy pollution, possibly related to the aberrations that inhabit the sewer system.

"At the same time, according to the information brought back by the previous batch of explorers, the 48th area has a mysterious radiation concentration exceeding the standard. There may be a super-standard ominous monster in the depths of the city. It is speculated that it is the giant shadow observed on the watchtower. It's some kind of plant."

Misfortune is to evaluate the level of danger of things, but it does not fully explain its strength.For example, the thousand-legged demon and the "giant plant" monster speculated by the explorers are both ominous, and the former basically has no power to compete with the latter.

However, the thousand-legged demons are sharp and fast, good at hiding, and even have a certain amount of wisdom, with a wide range of activities; while the existence of "giant plants" rooted in one place, even if it is unrivaled, the scope of its influence is fixed and limited , as long as the distance is far enough, there is no need to worry about this existential threat.

Under various comprehensive considerations, monsters or disasters with different characteristics, types, and strengths are classified into the same rating.

The Big Hug Expedition Team may be able to compete with the Thousand-legged Demon, but there is absolutely no return to the crusade against the giant shadow.However, as long as the explorer's IQ is normal and he doesn't do anything to die, the thousand-legged demon and the giant shadow are similar in threat.

"In addition, they also encountered three kinds of curses: one is that after drinking the purified well water, symptoms such as vomiting, gastrointestinal corruption, and skin ulcers are still present, and it is currently suspected to be some kind of possible parasite; the other is that corpses are piled up in the entry part A contagious insanity emerged from the cellars of ..."

Brito put the baton on a high tower again: "Thirdly, the out-of-control mage tower is built in a very traditional style. It is a place where ancient mages preached and learned scriptures. All the expedition teams who entered it never came out again. We also have to avoid this place...Of course, each of our team members is a transcendent, and is more resistant to mysterious characteristics than those who died, but if we really encounter pollution..."

He looked at Cloris.

After listening to Brito's preliminary description, Cloris is not afraid, but she still feels nervous——

Camp 26 was only established three months ago, and even Sasha has no information about it!

Countless explorers used their lives to try and make mistakes because of greed. The information they brought out would pave the way for those who came later, but who knows when it will be smooth?

Moreover, the girl asked herself...

With this level of pollution, is she really sure to treat it?

The so-called pollution is the erosion of the environment and organisms by various mysterious characteristics, but it is expressed in a variety of forms. Most epidemic doctors can only treat the symptoms first, but cannot immediately cure the root cause-that is, directly strip the characteristics of the organism.

Shanna's illness is typical of them.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't know how to cure it, the spirit vein inhibitor can also have a certain effect on the pollution of mysterious properties, and before Cloris came here, she took a box of [Luentia] potion from Carolson .

However, the drug is still in Phase I clinical trials, so she will not use it unless necessary and without the consent of the contaminated person.However, inhibitors are not a panacea, they are often adjuvants for various medications. To truly cure pollution, the right medicine must be prescribed. The simplest case is that if a person is infected with the curse of drowsiness, he needs to be prescribed a refreshing effect. Potion, to hedge against mysterious properties.

Suppressing her anxious mood, Cloris smiled confidently: "It's all on me," she added after a pause, "but the pollution in the unknown is more complicated and unpredictable, and it may even There is a type of curse that we have never seen before, and there is simply no advanced enough medical conditions in this place, so I can't guarantee the lives of each of you 100%."

The girl put some responsibility on the environment, if any accident happened, it must be because of the bad conditions.

"It's perfectly normal. We are all mentally prepared for such an ending, and Ms. Ke can rest assured." Brito didn't care. After all, there are very few senior doctors who are willing to come to the front with the team, let alone enter the ruins. Even if they were allowed to stay in the camp, 1 people would not be happy. The middle-aged man said, "After passing the iron chain, Miss Ke can stay at the outpost with peace of mind and don't have to take risks with us. Will try to bring it back."

Cloris smiled and said, "If I don't do a field trip, will you help me finish the thesis?"

This is the evil result of a liar, a scam must be completed with more lies!

"It's the same at the outpost and near the camp." After Brito said, seeing the girl watching him with a smile, thinking that the mastermind who killed Luka was still at large, he simply stopped persuading him, "Okay, Ike What Miss means, let's act together."

The Golden Beard Expedition Group and other explorers are stationed at the outpost, but if the girl is really left at the outpost, I don't know what kind of accident the black hand can make.

Besides, since Ms. Ke has a way to bring the black hand to justice, her own strength and wisdom should not be underestimated.

"Hey, Brito, I didn't expect you to also be eyeing this fertile land."

While everyone was talking, an annoying voice sounded far under the black sky.Cloris looked, and saw a man with half of his face in iron armor slowly walking towards them with a gloomy smile.

411. The Girl's Doubt

The annoying voice came from Passido, the head of the Amethyst Expedition Group who had undergone mechanical transformation.According to Brito's information, what he transplanted was the spiritual symbol of the Church of Mechanics [the furnace], which has the characteristics of elemental gunners and incinerators.

The furnace provided it with huge energy support. As far as its firepower was concerned, it was no problem to destroy a block. If Cloris really faced the enemy, it would be a bit tricky, and she would easily fall into a passive situation under the indiscriminate bombing.

Passido was followed by more than a dozen unfriendly stubblers. He walked over and laughed loudly: "It's fate, do you also like the ruins of Area 48?"

"It is indeed fate," Brito responded with a smile, "Without the two experienced guides of slag iron and scrap copper, do you still want to come to this unexplored place?"

"Hehehe, I don't need you to worry about that."

Brito noticed a few more unfamiliar faces around Passido, and asked, "Who are these?"

"My new team members are definitely not as strong as the two of you," Passido said in a low voice. "So, Brito, when we enter the ruins, I hope you... show mercy!"

"Bang!" The golden whiskers suddenly rose, and he smashed Pasido's knee with a nail hammer. The latter took a step back, and the dwarf's hammer suddenly turned, and it hit his crotch.

"Looking for death!" Pasido, who stood firmly on his feet, pointed his palm at the dwarf, and the gun barrel burst into flames. The roaring flames drowned Jinxu, and an earthen monument rose from the ground, hammering directly at Pasido. at the chest.

"Boom!!"

The loud metal sound sent Pasido high into the sky, he used the hand cannon to blow out a hurricane to buffer the air, and after several adjustments, he landed on the ground.

The flames were blown away, but Jinxiu held a mace and stood still. His golden beard was as stiff as a sculpture, and rock crusts grew on the surface of his skin, and the earth was rebuilt with the swaying hammer wind.

Jin Xu scolded: "His grandma, she opened her mouth yin and yang and shut her mouth to be weird. If I don't smash your eggs today, I will cut off my beard and weave it into a twisted rope for you!"

Everyone in the Amethyst Expedition Group was ready to go, and Cloris's side was also loaded with live ammunition and opened the distance.

"Ahem, if you demolish the camp here, you will be sued by your peers—" Pasido coughed out soot from his throat, his voice hoarse.

There are more than 26 explorers in Camp No. [-], and the Amethyst Expedition Group and the Golden Beard Expedition Group are just one of them.The destinations of these explorers are not necessarily the cities on the other side of the suspension platform. There are vast unexplored forests, large and small villages and towns, and graves near the platform-digging graves is also a profitable industry.

"If you want to cause trouble, we don't mind getting rid of your trouble ahead of time." Brito's plain words were full of killing intent.

"Cause trouble?" Passido spread his hand, he just made this action, and the members of the Golden Beard Expedition Group left to put their vigilance on him to prevent surprise attacks. He pretended to be helpless and said, "Who was the first Move your hands? Me? Or some stunted premature baby?"

"you!"

"Golden Beard, he is provoking you," Brito patted the dwarf's shoulder with his baton, and said, "Pasido, you blasted the stone bridge we escaped with cannons in the jungle pyramid. Are new and old grudges settled here?"

"Ha, then how can you blame me? If you didn't wake up the sleeping corpses, you guys wouldn't have to run away, we are also doing it to save our lives!" Pasido grinned, "Besides, my fourth, sixth, seventh I haven’t told you clearly about the team’s destruction of the ghosts in Kandar.”

Brito smiled slightly: "I am deeply sorry that your expedition group suffered heavy losses, but... how do you think I did it?"

"Stop being hypocritical, Brito," Pasido clenched his iron fists. "It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. It's such a huge ancient city. I hope we don't meet in the ruins."

He misjudged Jin Xu's temper and strength, so he led the expedition team back temporarily.

The 24th team of the Golden Beard Expedition Group has a total of 670 people, and the 140th team of the Amethyst Expeditionary Group has [-] and [-] people. From the paper data, the latter is not an opponent at all.But if you consider high-end combat power... In fact, the Amethyst Expedition Group is still at an absolute disadvantage.

But those who came to the Muye plateau were only about [-] people under the command of the deputy head Jin Xuji. If they really wanted to fight in the streets in the ruins, the threat was not much higher than that of the Big Bear Expedition.

Brito looked at the direction in which his opponent was leaving, and said, "It's a coincidence that Pacido suddenly has a few new teammates who don't look weak."

Cloris said: "There is no coincidence without a book."

The girl looked up at the sky, the water curtain from the Sea of ​​Floating Stars became thinner here, a layer of gray mist covered the clouds, and there was no starlight.

If the man behind the scenes wants to create a coincidence, there is no need for Pacido to startle the snake.Whether it was the "kidnapping" of two scumbags, or Luca's going to the lifeboat, or Pasido's provocation, or the death of Toad due to the recklessness of the law enforcement officers, Cloris found that, except for Hong Ye's base being seized When the evil spirit controlled the mind and stole the wooden box, all the coincidences were completed by the spontaneous actions of the participants.

Their minds are not disturbed by the outside world, but they are doing what they think is right, and they just encounter unlucky probability events.

The black hand behind the scenes should have a full understanding of everyone's information in order to promote the occurrence of "coincidence" at every critical node.This also means that in the unknown ruins that even he is unfamiliar with, the probability of wanting to be so unpredictable and untouchable is very small.

Perhaps, he is hiding among those few new teammates.

Do not……

Cloris vetoed the idea.

With the ability of the mastermind behind the scenes, he should be able to hide in the dark without joining the expedition team.

But there is a high probability that these new players are a certain layout of the mastermind behind the scenes before entering the ruins.

So far, Cloris has a reasonable explanation for why Luka got on the lifeboat, why Pasido was aggressive, and why the law enforcers opened fire to attack Toad. Their motives were simple and direct, but what puzzled her was that Slag Iron and Scrap copper, why did you stare at her?

At the critical moment of the ship accident, Zizi kidnapped her with a rare teleportation stone talisman and sold it...to whom?However, this move of slag iron and scrap copper was obviously unknown to Passido. When he thought it was a malicious target from his old enemy, this further ignited his old grievances with Brito.

Generally speaking, explorers live and die, and cooperate together.Even if you are revenge for killing your father, you can suppress your emotions in the face of making money; and when you are running for your life, your brother may be crippled to attract "enemy troops".Like this time, it is rare in this industry to stay alive without entering the ruins without any hypocrisy.

After all, in the ruins, the greater danger does not come from each other, but curses and evil creatures.

Who gave the motive for the kidnapping of slag iron and scrap copper?And who gave Passido the confidence?There must be a third party or even a fourth party hidden in the layout of the black hand behind the scenes.

With such doubts in mind, the girl and Naina rested in the tent for three hours before embarking on the journey to the ruins.

412. The Ruins Under the Night

There is more than one iron cable connecting the suspension platform and the canyon on the other side. This was not built by explorers, but an alternative relic of the ancient kingdom.When the mage in charge of the camp activated the magic circle on both sides, the space near the bridge cable seemed to freeze, and a transparent passage was built up and down along the iron lock.

"Spells last for a limited time, please cross the bridge as soon as possible," the brocade mage who activated the bridge rope bowed and blessed, "I wish you all good fortune."

Three or four hundred explorers marched across the bridge, and some of those who were still stationed in the camp had to head west to be gravediggers, while the rest were backup in the team, keeping the harvest brought back by the guarding companions.

It's not easy to go deep into the night plateau. Some expedition teams often have front-line activities for several months or even a whole year. They will return to the camp every once in a while for preparations, and sell most of the materials cheaply to merchants. A small number of precious rare objects, Keep the spirit artifacts and sell them at a high price after the return trip.

Now that Cloris entered Area 48, more than 100 explorers on the other side transported the harvest back, and more people searched for treasure in the ruins.

"It's all the fault of the guys guarding the gate, they insisted on intercepting our airship!" Nearby, a young female mage dressed in luxurious clothes sullenly complained with her hips on her hips, and said to the male friends beside her, "Aren't you the most arrogant in the past? Cowardly in front of those soldiers?"

She has braids like flowers, and is wearing a court dress embroidered with flame sparrows. She is slim and bright like fire; The staff is gold-plated and silver-plated, and the red gemstone at the head falls from a silver falcon with torch-like eyes, pecking at the laurel crown on its hair.

The young man next to him is a little bit better, but the good is limited and not too much. On the plateau at minus five or six degrees all year round, he only wears a thin tuxedo: "This is the difference in thinking between men and women. We are more rigorous and careful, and we will not ignore potential risks for the sake of exaggerated demeanor, which is what an explorer should have."

He picked up a stone and threw it into the sky, when the stone fell down again, three hook-like joints grew out of it, leaping and running.
