Ye Cang and the others learned about the new party member, Fang Ci's class characteristics and equipment. They didn't ask anything else. Looking At Each Other also expressed that he had nothing to say. After all, they were his relatives or cousins. + ※
Everyone learned that Fang Ci could summon skeleton warriors. They looked at the bare skeleton that only held a broken sword, but Ice Cloud shattered it with a punch. They suddenly felt that the Necromancer was very weak. However, Fang Ci could also summon a skeleton mage that could occasionally release small fireballs. This was not bad, but compared to Xiao Wang's Water Elemental, Torabi's combat ability was even more fierce than Wu Na's. Its mana was high, and its recovery speed was on a completely different level from everyone else. Moreover, its casting speed was a unique advantage of the Water Elemental.
"Don't jump to conclusions yet. Necromancers have never been the weakest class. The human wave tactic of Corpse Mountain and Skeleton Sea is terrifying, but also very frustrating." Looking At Each Other said seriously.
Fang Ci then used Lesser Resurrection and resurrected a grassland wave to participate in the battle. "This skill can only resurrect one person. It won't work on powerful creatures. It's probably because the skill's level is too low."
As for the other spells, Fang Ci knew how to use Magic Missile as a combo attack. Most mages would learn spells to deal with situations like this. One of the mages' spells was [Mana Ball]. What was noteworthy about this spell was that it dealt mental damage.
Fang Ci looked at the Tigerman Little Ren pushing the handcart. Lin Le sat leisurely on it. This Tigerman shouldn't be a player. When he first saw him, he thought he was a player from the Tigerman race. He then turned his head and saw Little Ye Tian riding on an insect that was about the size of a horse. She was also hugging a doll that looked like an imp.
Bal Town.
Everyone bowed when they saw the infrastructure here. The simple village house had become an ordinary residence. The walls were five meters high, and there were six sentry towers. It just so happened to surround the entrance to the town. Now, it was a shortcut to the spacious open space above the cliff. The construction above was also in progress. The two-story branch of the grocery store had already opened. The store manager was the traveling merchant who sold the mushrooms to Ye Cang on the road back then. He was also a villager here. She was very grateful to Ye Cang for everything that she had done for Bal Village. The blacksmith shop, the inn, and other basic facilities were all operating normally. The murlocs and goblins on the streets were very friendly to each other. Verali waved at Ye Cang from afar. Ye Cang watched as she waved at a goblin and sent it flying with a slap. Ye Cang broke out in cold sweat. The moment he was sent flying, he responded awkwardly.
"I'm hungry!" After waving her hand, Verali suddenly turned her head and roared, causing the surrounding Goblins to quickly take out food to serve them.
"What kind of creature is that …" Fang Ci was also shocked.
"The true king of this mountain, the old village chief's granddaughter … Verali. She's with us. My brother is her wedding witness …" Chang Zhengxiong replied.
"…" Fang Ci's expression was strange. Wedding witness!? The old village chief's granddaughter? Are you sure? That's a human's child!
Verali took a few bites. "Mayor PaleSnow, I've brought people down to help. Don't worry, if anyone dares to attack Bal Village, I'll be the first to stand out and let my husband beat them."
Ye Cang translated her words as "I'll cover for you here" and quickly nodded. After chatting with Verali for a bit, they went to find the old village chief and asked if there were any noteworthy places to explore in the Black Peaks. The old village chief recalled, then pointed towards the northwest. "When I was young, I was chasing a Boulder Boar with a hunter, and accidentally entered a ruin. It's a low-lying swamp in the Black Peaks Mountain Range. Almost no one knows about it. I remember that it's roughly in that direction. Originally, we were going to catch that heavily injured rock boar, but we accidentally entered that place. That's why we didn't even get close before retreating. Those ruins are a bit strange. Before we even got close, we were already shivering. Moreover, there are also the screams of unclean things. In short, mayor, brave warriors, if you really want to explore, please be careful … "
Little Ye Tian quickly asked. "Grandpa Village Chief, do you still remember what that ruin looked like?"
"How should I put it? It doesn't look like a normal building. It's just that after the old sentry post was destroyed, the ruined buildings have plant patterns on them …" Old Village Chief Faire gave a rough description.
Little Ye Tian began to ponder, and quickly came to a conclusion. "It should be an ancient ruin that worships the Goddess of Nature …"
"Not to mention, in ancient times, the Black Peaks was once the elves' territory. Afterwards, the desert from the north constantly approached. They were afraid that the desert would swallow the Black Peaks, so they all migrated south. If the elves were to live in the desert, it would be the same as directly … castrating them. In the end, they settled on the Eternal Night Forest that bordered the Planetary Empire. It's said that it stretches for tens of thousands of hectares. It's even bigger than the Steel Empire and the Planetary Empire combined. Out of curiosity, Little Ye Tian asked the village chief to borrow a book from his house and quickly flipped through it. Fang Ci was dumbfounded. There were dozens of books, but she only read them for tens of seconds. Her flipping speed was no different from a banknote counter. "Father, I have a rough idea of the possible ruins in Black Peaks. Other than the Goddess of Nature, there's also the ruins of the dwarves. There might even be a mysterious existence that's sealed. This record is too vague. I'm only able to deduce this vague possibility from my deduction."
Looking At Each Other, everyone blushed with shame. Such a large pile of books, yet she could finish it in a few dozen seconds. What kind of brain did she have?
"Don't worry about the others for now. Let's go to the place the village chief pointed out." Ye Cang looked towards the northwest mountains and said indifferently.
----- Division Line -----
ThornyRose's group also set off towards Black Peaks. The party members were ThornyRose, DyedLily, FrozenBlood, ElegantFragrance, GreenDew, PassingWind, Mimi Kitty, Linger Yao, and Soy Sauce Little Jade.
"Your sister left home and went to Linhai to rely on that damn lowlife?" Ci Mei looked at Ice Blood with a strange expression.
"Yes, she's now a student at Linhai College. She also received an invitation to the Five Schools Battle." Ice Blood replied.
"See, I told you she would be forced to leave home sooner or later." Xin Ya sighed.
"That's good. At least she's willing to leave and won't force herself." Ice Blood shrugged slightly.
"Speaking of which, what are the team leaders doing now?" Green Lu asked curiously.
"Who knows. I heard he's now the village chief of some village. We're going there to take a look and prepare ourselves." Ci Mei said unhappily.
They returned to Ye Cang's team that was exploring the northwest mountains.
Fang Ci sighed at the strength of the team. Really New Village's Third Brother really wasn't an exaggeration. Team leader Ye Cang's magic attack was too frightening. The key was that his close combat was also very strong, and he even had a high damage long-range physical attack. Brother Xiong's aura was even more ferocious than the monsters', and Brother Le's short stature, wielding his giant blade, looked frightening no matter how you looked at it. He couldn't be a burden, so he summoned his skeleton warriors and skeleton mages. He controlled the skeleton warriors to not attack and simply used them as support tanks. Whenever there was a heavy blow, he would control them to block it. Afterwards, he took out the bones he collected from his bag and continued to summon, doing his best to share the burden. Looking At Each Other, Fang Ci looked at Fang Ci with admiration. Not bad, this brat really had good judgement.
As the party traversed through the mountains, they even discovered an ore deposit. To Zhang Zhengxiong's delight, such a large deposit of ore was actually Magic Iron Ore. It was a must-have material for crafting Gold ranked equipment. Dark-Gold ranked equipment, on the other hand, required Magic Steel refined from Magic Iron. It was a relatively rare war resource. Of course, it was not something that could be easily crafted with just the materials.
"Climbing up and down like this is a bit disgusting." Wu Na began to complain.
"Then let's eat something and drink some water. Let's replenish our strength before continuing." Before Ye Cang could take out the iron pot, Wu Na quickly got up and continued to cross the mountains with everyone without looking back. Fang Ci broke out in cold sweat. What's the meaning of this? It's not a bad idea to rest and replenish our food and water. He didn't ask and followed. Ye Cang pouted. She was in a bad mood. When will they take a break so I can show off my newly learned skills …
Little Ye Tian continued to organize her holographic map as they walked. Finally, they arrived at a hill covered by a dense forest. She found a square stone pillar that had been broken into the ground. Ye Cang walked over and rubbed the thick dirt off it, revealing an exquisite pattern.
"It should be around here." Little Ye Tian looked around. Looking At Each Other Person came to the other side of the slope and looked down. "This way …"
Everyone quickly came to Looking At Each Other Person's side. This side of the slope was a low-lying swamp. In the distance, there should be broken parts of a building. Although they were covered in moss and couldn't be recognized, they could still tell that it wasn't naturally formed.
"Let's go down and take a look." Ye Cang took the lead and jumped through the forest. Everyone followed.
Ye Cang suddenly stopped. Everyone was puzzled. As they approached Ye Cang, they also felt an ominous chill.
Little Ye Tian looked at the moss-covered ruins in front of them, as well as the skeleton of a Boulder Boar not far away. This must be the place that the old village chief was talking about.
"Wait, it's probably very dangerous. Let's retreat and replenish our food buffs before going deeper." Ye Cang said seriously. She quickly led everyone back to a flat area in the middle of the slope. Although everyone wanted to say that since they had already used their dark gold weapons, they didn't have to use their food buffs for the time being. However, Ye Cang insisted that it was better to be safe than sorry. It made everyone speechless and unable to refute her.
Everyone listened to her humming a little tune. The content was mostly about how she had learned a new cooking technique. She was proud of herself for being able to cook. Then, they looked at her excited expression of preparing ingredients to make some crazy new product. They all felt numb in their hearts. So many reasons! Actually, you're the one who wants to do a new biochemical experiment!
