The Igneous Basin is indeed quite chaotic. There are people who are robbing in broad daylight at the city gate. Doesn't this mean that the town is used as a fishing ground for robbers? It's only a few dozen meters away from the city gate, and there are city guards watching from the city and outside the city. This is really interesting. Faust admitted that although his appearance is more deceptive, it always makes people associate him with the weak. But to get involved, in addition to having bright eyes, at least reverse thinking ability should be possessed, right? For someone like him, being able to travel alone, it can't be because of cooking skills and "Love and Peace", right? He was a robber all the way, so he could leave this year's private chef, and he would have died of old age before he got here! "If you are not smart, don't do this kind of risky business that depends more on your face, really!" Faust rolled his eyes and raised his hand, and a ball of blood mist burst out from the leader's body, and then the blood mist, like a living thing, was thrown into Faust's body.
The second person was stunned on the spot, and followed his companions. The third person turned around and wanted to run, but as soon as he took a step, he burst into blood and turned into a mummy. "Darkness returns." Black mist burst out from Faust's body and flew towards the three mummies. The shriveled corpses became plump like balloons, and then stood up, and knew how to pat the dust on their bodies. Even their eyes were shiny green, and they looked like hungry wolves staring at them. More than ten meters away, on the roadside closer to the city gate, someone stretched out his hand and pulled the brim of his hat, and walked away quickly. Faust stretched out his hand and sent out a twisted scarlet lightning, which connected to the hand of this person. The hand shook, and the other party was pulled in front of him. "Did I let you go?" The other party was fierce, and waved his arm to quickly produce an illusion. Not only was there a dagger's cold light at the tip, but there was also an enchantment of extraordinary energy. However, Faust only moved his fingers slightly, and the scarlet lightning that was still connected bounced the other party away, making his fierce attack fall short. Without waiting for any new moves, Lightning pulled it up high, and then dropped it heavily, ‘Pah!’ Pull it up again, drop it! Continue to pull it up, drop it... ‘Pah, pah, pah!’ It fell into a puddle of mud. “Well, it reminds me of the exploding and peeing beef balls taught by the teacher...” Faust sighed, and then raised his chin to the three corpse puppets: “Chu chu!” This is an onomatopoeia, often used to call dogs. It means to feed. The three corpse puppets howled, and in the black smoke, like a smoke burning ghost, they flew towards the town. There were still people near the city gate, on the road, and on the top of the city, but they were all as quiet as cicadas, not to mention moving, they held their breath. Faust had walked all the way at a normal speed. “What are you all doing here? Are you planning to rob me too?” “No, no, don’t dare! Don’t dare!” “Oh, so you don’t dare, it seems that you have thought about it.” ‘Bang! ' Exploded and died in the blood mist, Dark Fenghuan gained the power of darkness, turned into a corpse puppet, and also entered the city to kill his former kind.
The real pedestrians next to him obviously did not see that this person pretending to be timid and pitiful was actually a member of the robbery gang, and was killed because his acting failed. These pedestrians thought Faust was a demon who slaughtered wantonly, and one of them was so scared that he stood there and peed. Faust curled his lips: "It's really not easy for people like you to go out and make a living." As he said this, he walked into the city, and in the distance, shrill long howls began to sound... Faust had no intention of deeply participating in or purifying the city, but just staged a drama of a fierce dragon crossing the river, whoever stood in the way would die. The corpse puppets killed all their former accomplices when they smelled the smell. They drew up a list based on their memory, and their killing methods were simple and effective. They were like monsters driven by the will of revenge. When the existence on the list was erased, they would dissipate with satisfaction. If not, then those who provide direct protection to the target and block their way will be in trouble. There is a recognition mechanism here, which is not particularly intelligent. Therefore, they are not killing innocent people indiscriminately, but they are not messengers of justice, but dangerous assassins. Faust replenished some goods in the town, mainly special ingredients, and bought some ready-made food. He is a chef and a foodie. He is willing to try any local snacks he encounters. If he is not so busy, he will spend more time strolling around and try to eat all the local flavors, whether it is snacks or big meals. But now there is a mission, so just make do with it, eat whatever you encounter, and stock up a little more if it is delicious, highlighting the casualness. During Faust's stay in the town, no one came to trouble him. This actually reflects the serious chaos in the volcanic basin today. In this era of feudal states, generally speaking, a town must have a city lord. It may not be a lord appointed by the king, but it may also be an organization, a merchant group... The dark order is also an order, just like the rules within the bandit camp. Throughout history, the darkest periods of human civilization, the most chaotic and turbulent, were not characterized by the corruption of the rulers, but by the changing flags on the city walls. Without order, production and life cannot proceed. Without a city lord, it means that there is no individual or force to represent the town and connect with the outside world. The various forces in the town take advantage of it and hide from problems. The city IP was gradually destroyed and became a pool of stagnant water. Unable to survive, they fled in all directions. When Faust saw someone robbing and the city guards watching the show, he knew that the place was so chaotic that there was no strong person to suppress it, and the various forces basically did not have the least tacit understanding of joint management, and they all had the mentality of fleecing the town. Sure enough, they just stood by and watched when something happened, hoping that their competitors would be killed by outside forces. They could pick up the corpses and eat the whole family. Little did they know that passers-by like Faust were few and far between. When ordinary outside forces saw such a situation, they would only take a break temporarily and eat a wave of destructive food, which would make the town fall apart faster. And such internal fighting that even the ancestral foundation was abandoned and outsiders were allowed to benefit was the most direct proof of the lack of basic rules. No wonder the refugees in the Fire Rock Basin were everywhere, and they all ran to the safe zone designated by the White Wolf Army to build refugee camps. It was really ironic that they managed themselves and were well organized. Faust went through the city and town and spent five days to come to the lava barrier in the north of the Fire Rock Basin. This place was once a landmark project that showed the people of the Fire Rock Basin, and it was also practical. There was no road here originally, but people made a road. This road includes the surface and underground parts, and it can be further divided into canyon roads, mountain tunnels, riverbed roads, winding mountain roads... In short, they made a road between the mountains and entered the Ash Plain where the Great Flame Mountain is located. Ash Plain is different from the Ash Mountains adjacent to the west of the Dark Forest. The Ash Mountains were formed relatively discontinuously and are unnatural. Originally, it was called the Misty Mountains, and the Ash Mountains were later named based on their new features. Ash Plain has been formed for thousands of years.
People in the Igneous Basin made a road there because there are many resources that are produced by volcanic eruptions. Not to mention sulfur, there are mainly gems, gold, flame crystals and other items that can only be produced by high temperature and high pressure in the deep. The most famous story is that an adventurer picked up a big gem somewhere, and the big gem eventually became the decoration on the front of the king's crown, and the adventurer made a fortune because of it... If Robo was here, he would probably be very sensitive and say: "This is a bit like the gold rush in the ugly country back then. Do you know who made a fortune in the gold rush in the western part of the ugly country? Selling gold mining equipment and camping supplies." It doesn't matter, anyway, this sky-high passage was finally opened. Just when people were confidently preparing to go to the Ash Plains for a big fight, the gray dwarves appeared. According to the gray dwarves, the barbaric behavior of humans digging tunnels and digging holes disturbed them and blasphemed their beliefs. What do you believe in? Can't you use explosives to dig holes in the mountain? Or only the gray dwarves can dominate the mountains and the dark area? It doesn't matter either, anyway, the gray dwarves are not good birds. They enslave and arm underground creatures and wage war on humans. The Lava Barrier was built in this context. The humans were beaten back step by step, and finally they had to drag themselves forward, and built a lava barrier in the rear, and finally used it to defend the pass, which was considered a big loss for the gray dwarves, and then they withdrew. And this is old news from hundreds of years ago. Today, the lava barrier has been captured by the gray dwarves and has become their bridgehead for invading the volcanic basin. The kingdom's rule in the volcanic basin is almost collapsed, which is also related to the fact that the local noble coalition suffered a bloody head in front of the lava barrier and its own combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. The strength is not enough, so they can only tighten and guard important cities. Large areas have become hunting grounds for gray dwarves, and the towns in the rear, nearby, or more remote, like the one that Faust passed through, have become a paradise for bandits and evil forces. The overall turmoil and cruel involution have caused some forces that do not like this kind of wild fighting to flock to the Maolin Plain. In short, the so-called dark evil may not be like that at the beginning, and most of them are gradually changing in a series of events. So the lava basin is not the birthplace of the cult, but it has indeed spawned a variety of dark organizations. There is obviously something hidden here. After all, evil knowledge is also knowledge, and because it is extremely dangerous, people often die after trying it. In addition, most individuals on the dark side are suspicious, crazy, sinister, and generally have no friends. Therefore, it is very difficult to preserve and pass on the research results. So, who spreads the dark skills and spawns various dark organizations? What do they want to do? I'm sorry, this is not Priest Luo's project, and Faust's mission this time has nothing to do with it. However, Faust has inherited Priest Luo's arrogant style. Even though the lava barrier is now a scorched earth with no grass growing within a hundred kilometers, Faust still walks straight ahead, unhurriedly, as if he is strolling in his own backyard. With such arrogance, naturally someone jumped out to try to teach him a lesson. First, a team of gray dwarf fire cavalry who happened to pass by. This kind of cavalry is named after the giant hellhounds they ride on. This creature was originally a wild magic wolf, but was domesticated into a giant dog, like a Shar Pei, with short hair, flame color, and flames flowing on its body, which looks very majestic and cool. Not only does it look cool, but it can also spit flames or fireballs from its mouth, making it a good assistant in battle. This hellhound cavalry is going to go out to hunt in the wild. They like the feeling of killing and setting fire, especially when slaughtering human women and children, and listening to their screams. However, the gray dwarves are in the order camp, and their discipline is much better than most humans. They can be understood as the dark version of Sparta of the dwarf race. The whole people are military camped. Therefore, their team looks solemn and majestic, and has a strong military style. Seeing Faust, they had intended to use collisions and slashing to break him into pieces when the cavalry crossed paths with him. However, this halfling violated common sense and not only did not cower in a pile, tremble, or kneel down in surrender in a common posture, but actually charged at them.
These days are really magical, and halflings also want to play the role of big villains. No, wait... It seems that in recent months, there is really a story about a halfling villain that has gradually spread, and people who heard it were stunned. Could it be this? Unfortunately, there is no time! Faust's charge is a bit unorthodox. It is not a charge with short legs dancing like a wheel, nor a charge that flies like a cannonball, but acceleration and then teleportation. I want to enter the speed of light... It's just like what this second-year dialogue describes, as long as I run, I am Sonic the Hedgehog, rolling invincibly, and everything along the way is gold coins. Before the gray dwarf's team of Hellfire Cavalry had time to deploy, they were pierced by Faust in a column formation. Wherever he passed, it was like a high-speed spinning bowling ball hitting the pins, blowing them up in fancy ways, and after landing, none of them was not a mummy. "Hahaha!" Faust smiled excitedly with his hands on his hips, showing his two cute little canine teeth. So, Faust, who has a weak and even cute appearance, but a very scary behavior, actually has a loud name in the underworld - Blood Demon Cub. Mainly because of his extraordinary signature method, which is blood magic that even vampires feel ashamed of. For example, the club often integrates people's vitality into the blood, and then seeps out of the pores in the form of blood mist and bursts out of the body. The trick is called the blood and blood praise. It is often paired with the dark return. This is a method derived from the soul witch, which is more extreme, but backed by the road, with the meaning of equivalent exchange, as well as a hidden ritual of salvation. Moreover, there are restrictions on the use of these methods. In other words, it is precisely because of the discipline effect brought by the restrictions that the power is particularly terrifying. The limitation is that if the opponent does not have negative emotions such as malice and hostility, it cannot be used. Otherwise, it will cause a magic-like backlash effect. Unfortunately, the weak appearance of the halflings and the common habit of bullying the weak in this world make Faust always kill people wantonly. However, it is not easy to come as happily as this time. So Faust was very excited. And after a while, he came to the main gate of the lava barrier under the escort of the Hell Cavalry who had been transformed into corpse puppets by the Dark Worship. The gray dwarf on duty did not see the flaw for a while. Mainly in his impression, there is no power that can make the Hell Cavalry betray, or be enslaved and controlled in uniform. The Hell Cavalry is the elite among the gray dwarves. They are tyrannical and perverted, but their will is very tenacious, and they are loyal to their beliefs and the objects of their loyalty. In the face of overwhelming power, they will indeed be crushed, but just like a warrior will not die from a back injury, before being crushed, the Hell Cavalry must have gone through a bloody battle. After all, the gray dwarves have a characteristic, that is, they are extremely resistant to mental attacks and are almost immune to control skills. At least the gray dwarves in this world are like this. This is an ability given by their racial beliefs. After a period of time from birth, they are confirmed to be healthy and then complete the baptism ceremony, which passively strengthens this ability. Unfortunately, this time, the power encountered by the Hell Cavalry is not only powerful, but also weird. This world is unique, and even the person who taught it is not playing this set. Although the gray dwarves did not find any abnormalities, their inherent discipline still let them go through the process to ask for the entrance and exit orders. Although the corpse puppets can list the killing list, after all, the soul has been transcended and has no spirituality. There are only memory residues and relatively simple low-level AI, which is formed by animal instincts + instilled instruction sets (mechanisms).
Based on this, any complex negotiation and interaction is impossible to pass. Faust doesn't need to pass, he just wants to get as close as possible, and then let the corpse puppets start a fight. The existence time of the corpse puppets is not infinite. The completion of the kill list can renew their lives, but if they fail to achieve their goals for a long time, they will run out of time and collapse and die. It has an advantage for Faust, that is, when someone hates the existence of these corpse puppets, it is equivalent to having malice towards him. And when the hater happens to be on the kill list, the malice is hostility. In short, his discipline restriction is the hatred system. The stronger the target's malice, hatred and hostility towards him, the more powerful means he can unlock. At the same time, the power of the flat attack is also super high. So the corpse puppet is his tool to spread and provoke the negative emotions of potential enemies, just make a fuss. The Hellfire Cavalry's green eyes shone brightly, and they charged forward with a roar. Faust narrowed his eyes and looked at the spectacular concrete lava wall at the south gate, thinking, "What a bullshit impregnable! It can be conquered by the gray dwarves, and it can also be conquered by me. I'll kill you all, leaving no one alive. My quest journey is just so noisy, haha!"
