Chapter 675 Adventure in the Dark Forest (8000)

Matthew learned the news of Onyxia's birth and did not interfere with Yaya's educational activities.

Regarding this special Charmander, Matthew also hopes that she can become more well-behaved and stop talking about eating this and that.

After all, she still needs to lay a solid foundation and establish the principle of training and learning on her own to continuously improve her strength.

These are the rules you need to follow to join the Bay Territory.

The core of improving strength lies in one's own training and strengthening, rather than using other methods such as devouring flesh and blood, strange sacrifices, etc.

When Onyxia is obedient.

The bay collar also naturally provides her with the nutrients she needs to ensure maximum growth.

To put it simply, in addition to delicious food, feed her magical food.

Yaya, who is recording Onyxia's growth, has very big "ambitions".

"Babies in the Gulf Territory have better and better parenting plans."

"True dragons must have them too!"

From Yaya's point of view, it doesn't matter what kind of dragon you are. The key is whether you join the Gulf Territory or not, and whether you recognize the Gulf Territory's development philosophy.

Matthew thinks Yaya did the right thing and gave her considerable autonomy.

Only half of what the Gulf Territory gained from the demiplane of Catachan was sent to the main material plane.

Nearly half of the remaining resources are used for the development and construction of cities in the Gulf Territory in the demiplane of Catachan.

And 60% of the resources transferred from the Gulf Territory were transported to the Aso Volcano Fortress.

Half of it will be used to make the dragons stronger and the Charmanders grow.

Regardless of their size, their appetites are astonishing, and their energy sources are constantly devouring vast amounts of resources.

Matthew was unimpressed.

If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it.

If you don't give meat to the Yalongs, how can you expect them to work hard?

Just half a month.

The Yalongs successfully passed the dragon blood baptism arranged by Yaya.

Under Matthew's guidance, he learned many combat expertise and skills.

Not only has the strength been greatly improved, but the potential has also been further expanded.

Matthew was there as they were growing up.

Observe their body structure carefully.

Especially their respiratory system and lungs.

Matthew got a lot of "inspiration" from them, accumulated a lot of information, and some tissue samples.

Of course, Matthew would not take it by force, but offered a price that most Yalongs could not refuse.

Moreover, when collecting materials, Matthew would also give pointers on the training methods of the Yalongs.

For these strong and powerful giants, a small wound will not have any impact on them at all.

The higher-return Gulf Territory mission and Matthew's "guidance" to them made the Yalongs cooperate happily.

Seeing this scene, Matthew couldn't help but feel very emotional.

"Fortunately, they live in the Gulf Territory. They are in other places. Maybe they were sold and are still helping count the money."

Dragon Turtle Heijia, who studied hard, disagreed with this.

The Yarons are not fools.

They just lacked a good enough environment and system before, so they behaved unevenly.

Without systematic inheritance and teachings from seniors, the growth of strength will be relatively slow.

This does not mean that they are stupid. Contact with other intelligent creatures is a skill that they can easily master from birth.

But most of the dragons live in the wilderness, and they absolutely don't want to be with intelligent creatures.

The reason is simple, it is too dangerous to do so.

Although the Yalongs are not stupid, their brains are not very bright. If they come into contact with intelligent creatures too much, they will inevitably fall into their traps.

Moreover, because they themselves are stronger, they are too lazy to come into contact with intelligent creatures.

Bay Territory is completely different!

You pay less, you get a lot, and there’s not much risk.

The harvest in just one or two years is comparable to their accumulation of more than ten years.

How could this not make the Yalongs happy and trust them?

Dragon Turtle Heijia thought this was Lord Matthew's reminder to him.

"We need to remind other Yalongs more in the future to let them have more contact with the territory."

"As well as these little fire dragons, we need to teach them to join the Gulf Territory from an early age."

Matthew naturally had no idea what Dragon Turtle Heijia was thinking.

He is concentrating on studying the mysterious and strange features of the lungs of the dragons.

Under Matthew's careful observation, the lung tissue of Yalong was quite active.

Even if they were soaked in a nutrient dish, they were still breathing in and out.

Matthew looked at cells and tissues that were quite active.

They are still greedily devouring nutrients, working hard to divide and multiply, and let the whole body continue to live first.

This extremely special activity is very similar to the Gulf Territory Golem after Matthew used "Activation Grant".

"Is this the difference between extraordinary creatures and ordinary creatures?"

"They are also self-operating body organs and systems. One requires regulation and control by the brain, but the other has its own "consciousness."

"In the future, can ordinary people in the Gulf Territory be strengthened bit by bit through blood inheritance?"

"It seems necessary to start research in this area."

"Just because the roads in the future will become increasingly dangerous, the territory also needs to take precautions in time..."

With this idea in mind, Matthew stepped up his research on the eighth surgical modification.

Yalongs who have completed the first dragon blood transformation and ideological transformation.

Because of the rapid consumption of achievements, he began to accept various tasks one after another.

They want to earn more achievements, obtain more resources, and embark on the path of rapid improvement in strength.

As for the small fire dragons, the Yalongs took a brief look at them and were not at all reassured.

The reason is also very simple. The Gulf Territory's means and resources invested in taking care of the Charmander far exceeded their imagination.

Eat better than them and learn more than them.

Under this situation, the Yalongs felt a little sad, but they still chose to obey quite obediently.

There's no way, they can't snatch food from the little fire dragon's mouth!

As the Yalongs join the combat mission, the adventurers and soldiers of the Gulf Territory are no longer limited to staying in the city.

With a more urgent mood, they accepted various tasks assigned by the Gulf Territory, and also wanted to find their wealth and opportunities in the Catachan jungle.

Where Alice's adventure group is stationed, many new adventurers are busy going back and forth.

Chris greeted them to prepare and check various supplies, and he also did not forget to draw a picture for them:

"Our mission this time is more important. We are looking for the exact location of an adamantine ore."

"If the content of fine gold ore is high and the reserves are large, then we will make a fortune."

"The Gulf Territory will most likely build a new city or fortress at the location where we found the mineral vein."

"By that time, everyone will have houses and shops in cities and fortresses."

"Needless to say, the most valuable thing is definitely the share of the fine gold veins."

“You don’t need me to say more about how valuable the adamantine veins are, right?”

"Now, those are the guys who are ready to take a break for half a year before taking risks again. They will have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives."

Hearing this, many new adventurers cast envious glances at them.

Take one adventure and retire happily.

This is a good thing that they can't even think of!

The adventurers who heard this rolled their eyes and retorted decisively:

"Making money is for sure, but taking a half-year break is exaggerated."

"We still need to invest this money to improve our strength, which will only last for three months at most."

"Yes, don't listen to his nonsense."

"If you want to retire and enjoy happiness, you can join the adventurers of the Gulf Territory a long time ago."

"Everyone is here to improve their strength, gain more achievements, and receive better training!"

"Hehe, but if you are lucky enough and can find a large adamantine mine, you might be able to qualify for the dragon warrior transformation."

Dragon Warrior Transformation!

Most of the adventurers couldn't help but widen their eyes and look at Chris.

Chris, who is much taller than before, has completed the Dragon Warrior transformation.

And, because of Chris's "experiment" request, Matthew registered and transformed him.

"Whether the dragon warrior transformation has any impact on the career path and improvement."

Chris originally thought that after accepting the Dragon Warrior transformation, his strength might never be improved.

But now these more than 10 days of training have given him a completely different idea.

Thanks to the strengthening of various physical attributes, Chris can train various combat skills and specialties more easily than before.

Moreover, after undergoing the transformation surgery, his mind and concentration have improved even more than before.

Judging from the efficiency of learning and strength improvement summarized so far, Chris believes that he has greatly improved compared to before accepting the Dragon Warrior transformation.

"At least 30% improvement!"

"Moreover, as my mastery of the body continues to improve, my learning speed may increase even more in the future."

This news made Chris very happy.

Becoming a dragon warrior is his goal, but if he can continue to improve, it will naturally be better.

After hearing what the other adventurers said, Chris looked at the other adventurers with a smile, not hiding anything:

"Yes, the Dragon Warrior transformation is very powerful and has many benefits."

"If you are lucky enough and find two or so large adamantine veins, you will be eligible to apply for dragon warrior transformation."

As he said this, Chris carried an arrow box worth several hundred kilograms in one hand and stuffed it into the top of the golem armored truck.

They will provide powerful crossbow support for the automatic heavy-duty crossbow turret.

Many adventurers couldn't help but feel moved by Chris's display of strength.

Looking at their burning eyes, Chris couldn't help but reveal a happy smile on his face.

tread!tread!tread!

The sound of heavy footsteps immediately attracted the attention of the adventurers.

The thunder magic armor that walked out of the station shone with a charming luster under the sunlight.

Everyone's eyes were drawn to them, even Chris.

He walked over enviously, took the huge weapon box handed over by Sister Alice, and asked without thinking:

"Did the territory say what conditions are required to sell the Thunder Magic Armor?"

Shaking her head calmly, Alice glanced at the adventurers who were looking over, coughed slightly, and then said under their burning gazes:

"The team will score and evaluate each adventurer based on their performance this time."

"This is not only related to everyone's extra rewards, but also whether you can join Alice's adventure group."

“So everyone must be alert and cautious.”

"Chris, it's time for you to set off. Remember to bring them back alive."

Chris looked at another Thunder Magic Armor coming over, watched her get on the chariot, nodded with great confidence and said:

"No problem, leave it to me."

"Big guy, get in the car!"

Following Chris's order, the adventurers who were ready to go boarded the Golem armored truck.

Six golem armored trucks drove out of the station and headed outside the Aso Volcano Fortress.

Chris didn't look at the adventurers coming and going outside the window. He turned to look at Laura who put down her mask, and asked curiously:

"There's going to be a big fight over there in the Dark Forest, don't you go and take a look?"

Laura, who was still learning how to use the Thunder Magic Armor, thought that she would have to repay the loan for at least three years, so she continued without thinking:

"That's not possible. Ordinary missions can't afford the Thunder Magic Armor. This thing is a big money eater."

Chris looked at her support system that had been turned on, with a wicked smile on his face:

"Ha, your body is temporarily unable to support the Thunder Magic Armor, so you can only activate the support system for assistance. Naturally, you will suffer in this regard."

Laura looked carefully at Chris's thick body, shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly and said:

"It doesn't matter, as long as in another year or so, I can pass the assessment period and apply for the dragon warrior transformation."

"By that time, maybe I will have already completed the familiarity and use of the Thunder Magic Armor, and I will be able to maximize its combat effectiveness."

When Chris heard this, he said "Smash it" with envy.

Even though he has completed the Dragon Warrior transformation, he has more money to spend than before.

The more you eat, the greater the consumption of magic food.

To replace weapons and equipment, Dragon Warrior’s weapons and equipment need customized versions with higher quality.

To learn more advanced combat expertise and skills.

What troubles Chris the most is naturally Laura's valuable thunder magic armor.

As Chris's performance and strength have improved, he has also obtained higher-level secrets and information from the Gulf Territory.

The Gulf Territory can currently sell 4 types of combat armor to adventurers.

The first type: exoskeleton armor.

Price: 1 gold coins.

Equipment effect:

Exoskeleton armor enhancements are also limited.

Without affecting the user's agility, it can increase the user's strength by 3 points, agility by 2 points, armor protection by 3 points, and body size enhancement by 20%.

Purchasing rights: 2000 merit level, 3 months of work/adventure in the Gulf Territory.

For ordinary adventurers, there is no need to buy exoskeleton armor.

Not only is it very expensive, it also affects their ability to improve.

On the contrary, adventurer squads and adventurer teams prefer exoskeleton armor.

Newcomers who join the team can use them to demonstrate their good combat abilities and get more training.

The second type: combat armor.

The price is 3 to 20 gold coins. There are many models to choose from.

They are roughly divided into heavy, light and battlefield types.

In terms of attribute blessing, it can reach about 5 points, and the size enhancement is increased by 80%.

Purchasing authority: 10 merit levels, and there are at least high-level professionals in the team.

The former fights with a small team and has considerable strength and defensive blessings.

Access to heavy weapons and shields, capable of fighting larger enemies and prey.

The light weight is suitable for individual combat and is mostly used by scouts and lone rangers.

It has multiple combat auxiliary abilities, and the blessing of personal combat effectiveness is not weak.

The battlefield model is suitable for large-scale battlefield operations.

Generally only large groups of adventurers will choose to purchase it.

It can assist in the use of various large-scale war weapons to carry out powerful fire suppression and killing.

However, the disadvantage is that it is not flexible enough and is quite expensive to maintain and use.

The third type: magic armor.

The price is 100 million to 200 million.

Attribute effects: Main attribute +5, all attributes +3, super-level magic weapon defense, high-level damage reduction.

Purchase conditions: 50 merit level, super professional.

There are two models to choose from.

Ordinary model and Feitian model.

The latter has a flight function and can conduct short flights of less than two hours.

It can be recharged during flight time.

This is a magic armor that most adventurers cannot afford, and it is a signature product used by the Gulf Territory to attract popularity.

However, Chris has observed that many large groups of adventurers purchase a set of two.

If there had not been the emergence of the Thunder Magic Armor, buying a set of magic armor would have been Chris's pursuit.

The fourth type: Thunder Magic Armor.

Price: 200 million to 400 million gold coins!

Equipment effect: main attributes increased by +10, all attributes increased by +5, 6 types of combat auxiliary devices, 6 enchantment attribute blessings, mastering the power of thunder, flying ability, defensive ability and magic armor are equally excellent.

Purchase conditions: 100 million merit contribution level, super professional, intermediate armor manipulation skills.

There are three models: normal, enhanced and flight.

The three attributes are consistent in terms of strengthening defense.

Enhanced models have more reserve control of Thunder Power.

The flight model has flight control functions and can last for more than 4 hours each time.

To control the thunder magic armor, you need to consume the powerful energy crystal of the Gulf Territory × 1 every hour.

The price of powerful energy crystal is: 100 gold coins.

The ultra-high price and ultra-high purchasing authority are enough to scare away most adventurers.

However, the powerful combat power of the Thunder Magic Armor, its handsome and majestic appearance, and the temptation to control the power of thunder and lightning are enough to fascinate any adventurer.

Buying a powerful thunder magic armor is also Chris' biggest pursuit after becoming a dragon warrior!

Such a handsome armor is a perfect match for the Dragon Warrior!

The roaring roar and fury outside the city walls temporarily ceased.

Click!Click!Click!

The giant metal gate was slowly pulled up, and huge engineering golems filed out.

They are ready to clean up the battlefield as quickly as possible.

Chris looked at the goblin engineer who shouted loudly, and muttered to himself:

"We have to find a way to recruit a few more engineers from the Goblin Engineering Academy."

Looking at the various magic equipment in the magic armored truck, Laura whispered with emotion:

"With so many magic parts and mechanical facilities, they really need dedicated people to control and maintain them."

Chris shrugged his shoulders, crossed his arms, shook his head and said:

"Most of them don't like to take risks. Occasionally, a few of them will be robbed. Those with skills are really popular."

This only happens in the Gulf Territory!

Laura did not say this aloud, but quietly watched the golem engineering team cleaning up the battlefield in the distance.

The adventurer team's convoy continued to move forward.

The roaring engine pushed the Golem truck forward quickly.

Chris and Laura did not stay in the car, but quickly climbed onto the roof.

The convoy drove over the dry ground, bringing up a cloud of smoke and dust.

Laura felt the heat on the ground and couldn't help but squint her eyes.

The battle helmet is collecting various data, telling her that the concentration of elemental fluctuations around her is far higher than in other areas.

The twisted jungle in the distance is getting closer and closer, and the looming dangerous atmosphere gradually comes.

Chris put his hand on the flamethrower aside, with a cheerful smile on his face, and shouted in the team communication channel:

"Guys, welcome to the jungle hell!"

call!call!call!

The crazy burning flames instantly ignited the twisted jungle ahead.

The noisy screams of all kinds kept entering Laura's ears.

She observed the surrounding situation vigilantly, and drew the bow and arrow very lightly amidst the slight bumps of the vehicle.

There was almost no effort in pulling the bow, making Laura's eyes show a little anticipation.

A dark red punctuation point appeared in front of his eyes, and various detailed information appeared on the battle helmet.

"Brain lobe worms, high-value items, shoot at the wing joints for quick capture."

Without any hesitation, Laura aimed at the lobeworm more than 30 meters away and shot a sharp arrow instantly.

Whoosh!

The rotating arrows, driven by violent force, drew a beautiful arc.

The final landing point of the downward arc was precisely stuck at the joints of the wings of the lobe worm that was running away in panic.

Click!

The arrow pierced the tree trunk with the lobe worm, and the toxin hidden in the groove of the arrow was quickly released.

The lobeworm stopped struggling, and the constantly shaking tree trunk became stiff.

Chris, who saw this scene, cheered loudly and immediately shouted into the communicator:

"Attack Mark No. 14, a lobe worm."

Under Laura's curious gaze, a huge pterosaur fell from above, stretched out its claws to grab the lobe worm that had lost the ability to struggle, and put it into the storage space with a single grip.

Then, he flapped his wings lightly and flew high into the sky again.

Ordinary prey is completely unworthy of his presence, with rare exceptions such as cerebral lobe worms.

The raging fire burned the road ahead, igniting the twisted plants that had just grown in the past two days, and also warning the greedy twisted monsters around them.

There are many teams like Alice Adventure Group.

Most of them are accompanied by golem armored trucks and wurms.

If you encounter a strong enemy that cannot be matched, you can also pay a certain price to ask the flying dragon cavalry of the Gulf Territory to provide support.

Of course, a certain amount of remuneration is required.

But it's totally worth it. As long as they can come back alive, even if they just collect some magic plants and materials, they can usually make a lot of money.

Otherwise, how could there be so many adventurers who would dare to take such big risks?

Adventurers in the demiplane of Catachan usually have strict discipline and strong strength.

The area with the largest number of adventurers has unknowingly turned into a dark forest.

Two hours later.

In the Troll Fortress of Bay Territory.

Alice looked at the magic watch, with a little anticipation in her eyes.

With a flash of magic light, a group of tall Catachan warriors quickly walked out of the teleportation array.

They were wearing sophisticated magic weapons and equipment and were looking at the busy fortress curiously. It was obviously their first time here.

Dale, who had been transformed into a dragon warrior and was the leader this time, walked quickly towards Alice, enviously looked at the thunder magic armor on her body and said:

"Catachan patrol combat team reports."

"Welcome you guys, come with me to see your mission."

After reaching out and making a gesture of invitation, Alice led them towards the central building area of ​​the fortress.

In the combat command center.

Dell carefully looked at the huge map of the dark forest, saw the green dots and red lights flashing on it, and asked seriously:

"Is the enemy less than 50 kilometers away from us?"

Alice looked at the red dots that were three times as many as the adventurers, shook her head calmly and said:

"This is just the number of the opponent's scouts. The opponent's real large force is still being assembled."

"So your next task is to lead the adventurers to clean them up."

"At the same time, restrict the normal build-up of their large-scale forces."

"If necessary, infiltration and combat strikes can be carried out in the area where they are located."

The rather difficult task not only did not scare Dale, but also greatly aroused his interest.

He took the information handed over by Alice and looked through it carefully.

With a calm face, Alice continued to introduce him to the details of the mission area:

"This will become the main gathering area and attack area for troll scouts."

"The 172 sentries deployed by the Gulf Territory in this area will all become targets of their attacks."

"Each sentry post is guarded by 30 elite soldiers, who can last for at least 3 hours of fighting."

"You can assist in defense and supply at the outpost, or you can use the convenience of the outpost to conduct sneak attacks on the trolls."

Dale, who had studied and trained in Gulf Territory tactics, naturally understood the meaning of Alice's words.

He recorded most of the adventurer team's information, and then began to browse the troll's information and information.

After half an hour.

Dale led the team to leave the troll fortress. They drove the golem armored truck prepared by Alice and rushed towards the area with the most troll scouts.

Their speed was very fast, with no intention of stopping at all. The roar of the engine spread throughout the surroundings, immediately attracting the attention of many adventurers.

"Who is so bold? How dare you be so arrogant?"

"It seems to be the Gulf Territory's combat team. They are preparing to attack the trolls."

"This is good news, please inform others quickly!"

"There is no need for us to notify them. They have already sent a signal. They are actually the Catachan Special Operations Team. The Gulf Territory is really going to make big moves."

"Hehe, it would be great to make a big move! We can follow behind and catch more trolls like before."

"Fortunately, we came back early to prepare, otherwise we would have missed a good opportunity."

"Now the price for catching trolls has increased. It has already risen to 100 gold coins. This is a good time for us to make a fortune."

"Fortunately, we are in the Gulf, otherwise the prices of other things may have increased."

"Hmm, hurry up and follow, maybe they will take action."

"..."

It must be said that these adventurers had a very keen sense of smell and quickly found the stopping place of the Catachan fighting team.

However, what interests these adventurers is.

The Catachan warriors headed by Dale were "observing" and "studying" the troll scouts captured by the adventurers.

Their methods were a bit ruthless, making many adventurers' eyes twitch.

Fortunately, they are well aware of the nature of the Gulf Territory, and those who can go out for activities are very well-behaved.

Although they were still a little scared, more and more adventurers gathered together.

Dale put down the dagger in his hand, looked at the troll's rapidly healing wounds, and already had a plan in mind.

Just looking at the dozens of people under his command, even if they are all exhausted, it is impossible to kill too many trolls.

Even if subsequent reinforcements arrived, there would still be a considerable gap in quantity and combat effectiveness compared to the Trolls' waiting teams.

If you want to complete the mission beautifully, the key to the problem lies with these adventurers.

He carefully thought about the next battle plan, turned around and sent a signal to more and more adventurers:

"Come with us to hunt trolls!"

There was a turbulent light in every adventurer's eyes!

Dale was a resolute man, and after gathering about a thousand adventures, he went directly into the area controlled by the trolls.

He personally led more than 200 powerful adventurers and surrounded a team of troll scouts who tried to take action.

200VS30!

The adventurers perfectly demonstrated to Dell what it means to bully the minority with more.

A continuous barrage of crossbow arrows, large barbed wire nets, and fine steel hooks.

Before the trolls could mount a decent counterattack, they fell to the adventurers' serial attacks.

Most of them did not die. They were tied up by the adventurers and put into the trophy space that could store living creatures.

Seeing the wolf-like performance of the adventurers, Dale immediately reacted and sent a message to the Catachan warriors under his command.

"Lead a team of adventurers each and quickly search for troll scouts whose number is more than 4 times less than the number of people in the team..."

The experienced Catachan warriors responded quickly.

They immediately transformed into top hunters searching for prey, and soon led the adventurers to find the prey.

The adventurers, who are best at bullying the smaller ones, showed extremely high combat efficiency and defeated the troll scouts in three strikes, five strikes, and two strikes.

The Catachan warriors who watched without taking action took a short rest and then led them to continue hunting.

Just half a day's work.

Just over 1000 adventurers captured and killed more than 4000 trolls.

Each adventurer has earned at least more than 400 gold coins, and has achieved a lot of achievements!

When Dale returned with his hunting party, the harvest and news quickly spread.

The adventurers scattered everywhere quickly gathered together, driven by interests.

They also want to make a lot of money!
