Gray.
That was the main color of the Vast Ocean.
The Vast Ocean in the Piling Dead Realm was gray in color.
The weather here was unusual, and the sunlight was short. Most of the time, the sky was covered with thick dark clouds.
With the help of the long-distance transmission array, Ma Wen successfully arrived at a small wooden house in the City of Ruins.
"Master Ma Wen, I'm Joan, the leader of the Wood Elves stationed in the City of Ruins."
A beautiful female elf greeted Ma Wen.
Ma Wen nodded.
He chatted with the female elf for a while and learned that the transmission array was guarded by them. After he found Ibu, he only needed to come here to find them, and then he could quickly return to the Thousand Leaves Forest.
"The Wood Elves are indeed powerful. Nicholas is indeed the most powerful Elven King. He has a great plan."
Ma Wen thought that there were only traces of the Wood Elves near the Thousand Leaves Forest.
He didn't expect that Master Nicholas had already extended his influence to the Vast Ocean in the northwest.
…
From what Joan told him and what Ma Wen knew about the coast of the Vast Ocean in his previous life, he had a general idea of this place.
The Vast Ocean was the only inland sea in the Fernand Continent, but it was much more terrifying than the other seas.
Apart from the dense fog and dark clouds that never dissipated, there were also all kinds of horrifying sea monsters. Perhaps it was because of the Dead Realm, there were often strange phenomena on the sea.
Legends such as the Specter Ship and the Bone Sail were passed down by the people on the west coast.
This area was actually not in the south; it was the border between the north and the south.
There were many independent city-states along the coast of the Vast Ocean, and they followed the city-state system of the north. Although the Wizard Alliance of the South was powerful, it did not intervene due to some unknown reasons.
All in all, the area around the Vast Ocean was much more chaotic than the east coast.
Of course, there were also many opportunities here.
…
The City of Ruins was the most typical city along the coast of the Vast Ocean.
This city was built on countless ruins. All kinds of adventurers lived here, looking for the legendary treasures of the ancient goblins.
There were quite a number of people who really found something good and became rich from then on, soaring into the sky.
Of course, there were even more people who didn't even have a corpse left, and they left this world gloomily.
Ma Wen had been to the Vast Ocean several times in his previous life, and he had also visited the Underground City here. The corpses of all sorts of adventurers were enough to make one's heart go cold.
How could it be so easy to enter the Gnome Ruins? Even if the party had the most skilled Thief, it was extremely easy for them to be killed by the traps of the ancient goblins.
That was a huge Gnome Empire.
…
Ma Wen arrived at the City of Ruins alone. The streets were bustling with people, not inferior to the Six Pearl Harbors of Jewel Bay.
There were many ships anchored at the pier, but most of these ships were traveling between cities, not crossing the Vast Sea to the Dead Region.
Ma Wen's top priority was naturally to find Ibu. If he wanted to find Ibu, he would have to go to the Death Realm.
Although Ma Wen knew some tricks and shortcuts to go to the Death Realm, he still had to take a ship for the first part of the journey.
"The nearest ship to the Sunrise Island? Any ship will do? "
On the pier, a clever boy looked up and down at Ma Wen.
Ma Wen smiled and threw a silver coin at him. The boy took the silver coin and frowned slightly, "Southerner?"
Ma Wen remained calm, "I won't cause trouble."
The boy put away the silver coin. Although it was a silver coin of the Southern Wizard Alliance, it was still worth a lot in the cities of the Vast Ocean.
He then pointed to a dilapidated ship not far away and said, "Here, Parrot, Captain Alu.
"Yes, the Parrot, Captain Aluka. We will depart in ten days. This is the closest."
After thanking the boy, Marvin immediately boarded the Parrot.
After a few rounds, he found that not only was the ship broken, but none of the crew was there. They had probably gone ashore to have fun.
On the entire ship, there was only one navigator who was still studying the sea map.
Ma Wen asked and confirmed that the ship would indeed depart in ten days to his destination, the Sunrise Island. He happily paid the fare, booked a cabin, and then left the pier of the City of Ruins.
Since he would depart in ten days, Ma Wen did not want to waste this time.
For him now, every minute and every second was very important.
…
Ma Wen walked through the streets, ready to find a hotel for himself.
Who knew that at this moment, he would see a group of people not far away, as if they were watching a show.
Ma Wen's heart skipped a beat, and he moved closer.
The crowd surrounded the entrance of a courtyard, and on the side of the door was written "Tarantula".
"I heard that the Tarantula Mercenary Group found a brand new entrance to the Goblin ruins this time, and they are recruiting masters of grade 3 and above."
"What kind of Goblin ruins forced a super strong group like the Tarantula to hire external masters?"
"I don't know. It seems to be the legendary "Saruha" … "
The people around him were discussing, but Ma Wen's expression became serious.
It was actually Saruha!
No, Saruha was not a high-level dungeon opened a year after the Cataclysm!
This was the same level as the Scarlet Monastery, and the challenge difficulty was even higher than the Scarlet Monastery!
This Goblin ruins were left behind by the real ancient Goblin Empire. The most terrifying thing was not the various traps, but the large number of automatons and evil spirits!
If one did not make sufficient preparations, opening up Saruha was tantamount to suicide.
How did Saruha's entrance get discovered in advance? Could it be that he changed history again?
Ma Wen's brows furrowed.
From the notice on the side, it was more or less this mercenary group called the Tarantula that found the entrance to Saruha.
They had mastered the way to enter and exit the ruins freely, as well as the map of the ruins. However, they estimated their own strength and realized that it was not enough to take over the ruins, so they decided to hire some external masters to completely open up the ruins.
The notice was very clear. The external masters would temporarily enjoy the same loot distribution mechanism as the internal members.
At the same time, there was a sizable bounty.
Ten external masters would be hired for grade 3 masters.
If there were any grade 4 masters, three or more, the more the better.
As for Legends, they did not need to think too much about it. Legends were not cabbages. Moreover, the appearance fee of a Legend was not something that the Tarantula Mercenary Group could afford.
Now, a group of people surrounded the Tarantula's encampment in the City of Ruins. Many people wanted to participate in this expedition.
Of course, the Tarantula Mercenary Group was also famous in the City of Ruins. They would not want anyone who was not a true master.
Therefore, to sign up and become one of the external masters, one had to pass their test.
The test was also very simple. There was a peak grade 3 Barbarian Warrior standing at the entrance of the Tarantula's encampment.
The Barbarian Warrior had great stamina, so it was the most suitable to test the level of the people who came.
At this time, there were already many people who signed up and lined up to fight with the Barbarian Warrior.
However, most people were not a match for the Barbarian Warrior!
Ma Wen saw it clearly. This Barbarian Warrior was especially powerful, almost comparable to a grade 4 master.
Ordinary adventurers could not withstand his axe at all. Although he was mostly merciful, there were still many adventurers who were sent flying.
This terrifying scene scared away a group of people. The remaining people were mostly people with some real skills.
Ma Wen's heart skipped a beat. The notice said that the exploration of the ruins would be set off tomorrow. It was estimated that the exploration would be completed in about seven to eight days.
According to his understanding of Saruha, it would not take that long. The ruins were not big, but the monsters inside were more concentrated.
What he was concerned about was that most of the monsters in Saruha were automatons.
He vaguely remembered that among these automatons, there was a very special existence. It seemed to be Saruha's big boss, and its name was [Slaughter with Deranged Memory].
This automaton had a certain level of intelligence and could communicate with people, but from time to time, it would show signs of memory derangement.
If it was not a chance encounter, Ma Wen would not have remembered this.
"Slaughter with Deranged Memory …"
"Could it be that the two are related?"
"Could it be that the two are related?"
Ma Wen thought about this and made a decision in an instant.
It was better to sign up for the exploration of the ruins this time!
Although Saruha was dangerous, with Ma Wen's current strength, it was nothing.
Anyway, these ten days would be wasted in the City of Ruins, so it was better to make good use of it.
Moreover, although he now had the manual to advance to Legendary, to advance to the Master of the Night, he needed a lot of Slaughter EXP!
The prerequisite profession requirement for the Master of the Night was Level-8 Ranger and Level-10 Nightwalker. Ma Wen's Nightwalker was currently only Level-6. To advance to Level-10, the Slaughter EXP needed was very terrifying.
This time, he was going to the Dead Zone to prepare for a massacre and earn a lot of Slaughter EXP.
On the other hand, Saluhari's monsters also had a higher level of experience points. At the same time, they could also see if the Slaughterer with the amnesia disorder had Mark 47's memory chip. Naturally, Marvin would not miss out on killing three birds with one stone.
So, he suppressed his temper and obediently started to line up.
When the bystanders saw Ma Wen step forward, they were all stunned, and then immediately showed a look of surprise.
The Barbarian Warrior defeated an opponent, casually looked at the people in the line, and frowned slightly.
Who knew that at this moment, his gaze would sweep to the last person!
That person was tall and had the appearance of a middle-aged man with a weathered face.
The Barbarian Warrior was shocked.
"The Dragon Slayer, Lord Robin!"
As soon as this was said, the crowd immediately exploded.
"The Robin who tore the Black Dragon apart with his bare hands?"
"He actually came to apply for the job?"
"Wait, he could tear the Black Dragon Clark apart with his bare hands, that's Legendary strength! The Tarantula Mercenary Troop is in luck this time! "
The crowd immediately burst into discussion.
In fact, they had already seen Ma Wen's disguise, but they did not dare to point it out, for fear of saying the wrong thing.
After all, although the story of Stony Mountain's Robin had already spread throughout the Vast Ocean, everyone only had a rough impression of his appearance.
But this Barbarian Warrior had seen Lord Robin with his own eyes!
So he recognized him at a glance.
At that moment, he walked over in a flattered manner, and asked carefully:
"May I ask, Lord Robin, are you also here to participate in this expedition?"
