Diablo Destruction

There are a total of five teleportation stations in the Western Kingdom. Different from the teleportation stations outside Rogge Camp that are so hidden that even mice cannot find them, there are a total of four large cities in the entire Western Kingdom, including the main city of Lugaoin, namely The main city is Lugaoyin City, and there are three branch cities - the Highland City, the Oasis City and the Lost City.

These four big cities are distributed like a centipede from north to south. The northernmost Lugaoyin is located in the Gobi, and is connected to the Lost Forest, which is the Rogge Camp, to the west, and to the east is the Twin Sea. After crossing the vast Twin Sea, It is the boundless green desert-tropical primeval forest. In ancient times, Kurast was known as the country of knights and mages. It is deeply hidden in it.

Outside the city of Lugaoyin is a gravel wasteland. This is a large area of ​​​​Gobi. There are very few traces of green. Walk south from here. If you walk quickly, you can reach it in about two days. In the dry highlands, you have already stepped half-foot into the desert when you come here. The city of the highlands is located here.

If you continue to walk south for a few days, you will see a distant oasis. This land is quite strange. Although you have officially entered the desert when you come here, the distant oasis is unexpectedly better than the one in the Gobi. Lu Gaoyin is even more lush. There are oases of all sizes scattered here and there, providing abundant water sources for the oasis city. It is precisely because of this that people decided to build cities in distant oases. Otherwise, who would be idle? Why don't you just go and live in the desert? However, although there are oases everywhere, these oases are not as popular with local residents as imagined...

Further south of the distant oasis is the lost city, which is already considered the inner desert. During the day, scalding hot winds rage here. It is said that if you hit an egg on a stone, it will be scorched in an instant. At night. The water here condenses into ice. If you pee, it will freeze right after you come out, so be very careful...

In a place where the temperature difference between day and night is severe and repeated, ordinary people simply cannot adapt to survive. Therefore, most of the people in the Lost City are adventurers and businessmen, and there are very few residents who live here. Another point is. The lost city is an ancient battlefield. There are a large number of sealed ancient equipment buried underground here, so many poor people who are not afraid of death gather here, wandering around the periphery of the lost city, fighting against the bad weather. To guard against the appearance of monsters, even desert bandits will often appear here. This kind of near-death environment cannot stop these greedy people who are blinded by money-because as long as they can pick up a piece of equipment. It's enough for them to squander for a few years...

In addition, in addition to these four big cities, there are countless villages scattered around each city. Most of these villages were built by civilians who could not afford to buy houses in the city, but were not willing to degenerate in the slums. Even in the Western Kingdom, which is known as the country of commerce, not everyone can afford to eat and drink without worries. There is a huge gap between the rich and the poor here. Big businessmen like Ryan can get tens of thousands of gold coins with just a finger. Poor people like Tok rely on snooping and part-time tour guides to make a living.

These villages attached to the city gradually prospered. At the beginning, the managers did not pay much attention to it, but now, the number of people in the villages attached to the big city is even greater than the population in the city. This makes the king and the city lords have to consider the safety of these villages. After all, population is the key to the prosperity of a country, and they still have this common sense.

then. The safety of villages has been better guaranteed. Under this virtuous cycle, there are more and more villages, and many wealthy people have even begun to build villas in villages, which is known as: Experience the rural style and create a high-quality life. .

However, even with the protection of soldiers sent, there are too many villages. There will always be places that cannot be cared for or are out of reach. Like now...

This is a small village near the west of Lugaoyin City, about a day's journey from Lugaoyin. The village is located here probably because there is an oasis a few miles away. Because of its existence, the water in the nearby land becomes very abundant. As long as the method is right, it is not impossible to plant some non-drought-tolerant food and fruits on it. You must know that the prices of these things in the Western Kingdom remain high.

In fact, this is also the case. There are such fruit trees and cultivated fields near the oasis. It is the harvest season at this moment. The fruits that are about to mature are hanging on the branches, conveying a joyful atmosphere to passers-by, which makes people look at them. You know how self-sufficient and even wealthy this village is.

However, the village just a few miles away from the oasis shimmered with red light from a distance. Even under the bright sun, the thick white smoke rising into the sky was clearly visible...

Far away on the other side of the Gobi, several white figures flashed by. I clenched my fists, and under Xiaoxue's full sprint, I rushed into the village in less than a moment.

The fire has mercilessly devoured the entire village. Sparks in the sky are like fireflies, flying all over the sky amidst the roar of crackling flames, dyeing the entire sky crimson and dazzling. It seems that even the space is distorted in this sea of ​​​​fire. A tall house kept collapsing under the raging fire, causing wave after wave of heat waves.

What dyed the earth red was not the fire that filled the sky, but the pool of bright red blood. Hundreds of corpses, including men, women, and children, fell to the ground with expressions of horror and despair on their faces. Blood gurgled out from their wounds, and The firelight intertwined and dyed the whole world red. Judging from the distribution of the corpses, they were not trapped together and massacred collectively, but were suddenly killed and plundered.

As for why I found this information instantly like an experienced detective, because - this is not the first time.

"Little Four, Little Five, you two search inside to see if there are any survivors."

Following Xiaoxue, the poisonous flower vine and four ghost wolves also followed. I ordered two of the ghost wolves. The next moment, they rushed into the burning house without stopping. It's nothing to them who have reached mutation level 2.

Yes, in the past few months, they have successfully upgraded to mutation level two, while the lazy crow, who has done nothing, has reached mutation level three without any reason.

Ghost Wolf: Skill Level: Level 10 (Level 2 Mutation): It evolves into a mutated creature based on experience accumulated in long-term battles, with a mutation level of Level 2. +40 health, +20% defense, +20% speed, +20% damage, +20% all resistances, an additional 10 points of strength and 15 points of agility modifier. There is a 15% chance of tearing when attacking, and the damage is +100%.

Crow: Skill level: level 8 (level 3 mutation), a mutated creature evolved from experience accumulated in long-term battles. Mutation level three, health +20%, defense +20%, flight speed +60%, all resistances +20%, an additional 20 points of agility correction, and a greater chance of interrupting the enemy's attack (the chance is the same as the enemy's Strength related), with a certain level of low-level intelligence.

I looked around. It was found that there was good news and bad news. The bad news was that the murderer did not seem to be alive and had already left. The good news was that judging from the extent of the burning, the murderer should have left the place less than an hour ago.

He flicked the head of the lazy crow standing on his shoulder with his finger. Now its fur color is getting darker and shinier. If you look closely, these feathers have a mysterious and alluring luster like black gems. If you pluck a few feathers and make them into a feather hat. It must look good.

As if sensing what I was thinking, the half-drowsy lazy crow trembled. It screamed and flew up from my shoulder. Its black eyes, the size of soybeans, looked at me carefully for a few times before reluctantly flying into the sky. Its sharp gaze could cover a radius of several miles. The whole place has a panoramic view, not even a fly can escape.

"Xiaoxue, what happens next is up to you."

Riding on Xiaoxue's back, I leaned down and touched its head. Xiaoxue seemed to have been prepared for it. She let out a confident "Woo~~" and rushed out of the village.

A few kilometers away from the village, in the Gobi Desert, under the hot sunshine, three figures were moving slowly. The owners of the figures, three desert warriors dressed as mercenaries, were walking with a loose pace. He was playing with the gold coins in his hand with a grin on his face.

"Damn. It's so exciting." Mercenary A on the far left squeezed his big hand hard, and the few gold coins inside were compressed into clumps.

"We actually found a fat sheep." Mercenary B in the middle carefully rubbed the gold coins in his hand. You can tell at first glance that he is a money addict.

"However, I heard that the Adventurer Alliance seems to have sent a master recently, and many brothers have already fallen under his command." Mercenary C on the far right was not as optimistic as the other two, he frowned and said.

"Let's restrain ourselves during this period. Anyway, the money is enough for a while. We will take action after the news has passed."

"Tch, those bastards from the Mercenary Alliance, if I touch that person, I will chop him into pieces."

Mercenary A spat out thick phlegm and said disdainfully, but he knew better than anyone else that if it really happened, it would be uncertain who would chop whom, so he did not object to Mercenary C's proposal.

"No, no, no, how can this be done? He should be stripped naked and tied to the clock tower of Lu Gaoyin, tsk tsk -" Mercenary B chuckled.

"Not bad, not bad. I really want to see the faces of those in the Adventurer Alliance when the time comes. Our brothers are already famous." Mercenary A's eyes lit up, and he was already imagining that the leader of the Adventurer Alliance was worse than pig liver. His face turned pale.

Mercenary C smiled and nodded. He was the calmest one in the team, so he did not follow suit. He knew that these two guys were just bragging. It is estimated that if they really encountered the masters sent by the alliance, they would run away. Faster than anyone else.

"Really? Then I'm really looking forward to it."

A voice that did not belong to them sounded slowly from behind.

"who?"

Mercenaries A, B, and C drew their weapons in an instant, standing back to back and looking around. It can be seen from their neat movements that the three of them cooperated with each other very well.

Then, in the sight of Mercenary A, a black shadow slowly appeared in the dust - a wide cloak shrouded the entire body, making it impossible to judge the specific equipment and occupation, but the light was revealed The helmet alone is enough to surprise people - the silver streamlined full-coverage helmet shines sharply under the strong sunlight, and two cold eyes full of murderous intent are vaguely revealed from the gaps between the eyes. What's strange is the decoration that extends out on both sides of the helmet, like bull horns. No, it's not decoration. The sharp horns can easily penetrate the iron plate.

Just this helmet is enough to make these three mercenaries despair. The Excellent Helmet, the blue Excellent Helmet, is an advanced helmet that requires a minimum strength of 63 points. The warrior who can wear this helmet is the one he owns. Can you handle it?

"Everyone, listen up and run in different directions immediately. It depends on your luck. If you are still alive, we will gather at the same place."

There was a hint of sadness in Mercenary C's trembling voice. Among the three people, only two could escape at most. From those eyes full of murderous intent, Mercenary C saw the determination to kill - the other party was truly real. If you want to kill the three of you, you won't leave any room at all.

Since his fall, from the first time he massacred civilians, Mercenary C has had this realization. One day, with countless blood on his hands, he will be hunted down like this, and then run away in embarrassment, and finally die. On a certain sand dune, the body became one of the countless sandstorms on the desert.

He clearly had such an awakening and thought that he had put life and death aside, but at this moment, he still trembled involuntarily, began to be afraid, and began to regret - how much better it would have been if he had not taken this step at that time. ah.

I don't want to die! ! ! !

His face was twisted violently and he was struggling. Then, before the other two people could react, he had already taken off his feet and fled in the opposite direction without any gesture. The other two mercenaries looked at each other in shock, and also One left and one right ran in two opposite directions with all their strength.

Just like a Russian revolver, someone is always going to die, and who dies and who lives depends on God's will and luck.
