Struggle in the Steam Age

After feeling a little bit under the nutmeg tree, Lawrence and the others began to take out the rough map hand-painted by the previous game organizer to judge where their current position was.

"Our location is not very close to the volcano. It may be more than ten kilometers away." After releasing his own robot and flying to the top of the tree to investigate, Kog said to everyone, "So we set the first A plan to go straight to the volcano mine can be put aside. At this point in time, I have seen at least three teams landing far closer to the volcano than us."

After the investigation was over, Lawrence and the others immediately began to shift their positions. On the one hand, because they were in this location now and there was no water source in Mapingchuan, it was indeed not suitable for staying as a camping site for seven days. On the other hand, although they can see a lot of things after they just released the robot, the robot flying high is equivalent to exposing its position.

After packing up the things and moving forward in the jungle for more than an hour, Lawrence and the others found a hidden place in a small valley two kilometers away from the landing site and started camping. With the help of the robot and the guidance of John, the five of them quickly built three shack hidden by various plants.

After all the things were dealt with, everyone was a little hungry after tossing for a morning. However, because there was no sun in this space, it was not until Lawrence took out his pocket watch to take a look that it was noon. So under his proposal, everyone decided to eat something before proceeding to the next step.

Lawrence originally planned to take out the dry food and water he had prepared before, but he was surprised to see that John and Reso took out the utensils to start cooking.

"When you are in the wild, it is more important to eat as much as possible." Looking at Lawrence, Kogg and Raqqa looked at them with surprised eyes, and John explained. "Especially when conditions permit, try to be nice to yourself, whether it is eating or living. This will help you maintain a good state in subsequent actions."

Lawrence and the others nodded. They all belonged to the extraordinary people who were only active in the urban settlement before. Although I have learned a lot of wild adventure through learning, understanding and actual operation are two different things after all.

So while John and the others were on fire, others went to the surrounding area to complete the preparations for cooking. For example, Lawrence carried a leather folding bucket to fetch water by the creek more than 100 meters away. Although everyone brings drinking water, when operating in the wild, under normal circumstances, if there is a water source, use as little reserve water as possible.

There are many shrubs and knee-high green grass on the side of the stream, but the strange thing is that the whole stream is very quiet. Except for the sound of wind blowing over these plants and flowing streams, Lawrence found nothing in this place.

This is not normal, because when they went here just now, they heard the sounds of many animals along the way, and saw them passing by in the woods. As the most important water source in the wild, the creek surrounding this stream does not have any small animals that drink water. Even the traces of animal activities, such as footprints, feces, etc., appear to be abnormal.

"Huh, is this?" After carefully examining the footprints left on the ground and the animal trails in the surrounding bushes, Lawrence discovered another very abnormal place, that is, more animals came to the water than returned. some. In addition, he did not find many traces of animals crossing the creek on the opposite side of the creek, which can tell that there are some problems in this creek.

"It shouldn't be poisonous in the water." Lawrence judged after observing the stream, because he saw that the stream was transparent and clean, and at the same time there lived a variety of complex aquatic organisms.

[Detection of toxicity], Lawrence confirmed his judgment after using magic to check. But as he approached the creek, he suddenly felt an inexplicable coldness on his body, just like he felt when he was in an ambush before.

"This is—" Lawrence frowned, because things were obviously wrong now. After thinking for a while, he stopped moving forward, and then released a magic to the front.

[Detection of undead creatures] As soon as the magic was released, Lawrence immediately found that there was a clear magical aura under the stream in front of him, and a circle of magical auras surrounded by this magical aura was much dim. .

"This is really too cunning." Lawrence also had to admire the cunning degree of this undead creature, hiding himself under running water and ambushing those creatures that came to fetch water to hide the smell of death to the maximum extent, greatly improving himself. The probability of a successful attack.

After confirming the location of the monster, Lawrence ran to the upper stream of the stream and finished the water, and then quickly withdrew to the camp.

"Why are you running in such a hurry?" Raka the Ratman, who was peeling potatoes, asked as Lawrence ran back to the camp with a bucket in his arms. "Did you encounter something dangerous?"

"I found an undead monster hiding under the water of that creek." Lawrence explained to everyone, "If I read it correctly, it is an official level monster and no more than 20 trainees. And apprentice monsters."

"Then have you seen how many of the twenty little monsters are apprentice-level?" John raised his head and asked, who was stirring the bacon soup in the pot with a clean branch. Of course, this is just a casual question, after all, it is difficult for ordinary spellcasters to make accurate judgments in this regard.

But Lawrence's answer exceeded his expectations, "I can guarantee that there will never be more than five apprentice-level monsters ambushing under the water. I see this very clearly."

"If this is the case, then our first goal in this space is the **** undead creatures." John smiled at Lawrence and continued to stir the soup in the pot, while the others also revealed Smiled.

After all, as a paladin, John was born to restrain those undead creatures, and this kind of monster that is good at hiding himself is easier to deal with once it is discovered. Not to mention that a professional monster can give their team a full 50 points.

After eating this hot meal and resting for half an hour, Lawrence and his entire team rushed to the place where the undead monsters had been spotted. Strangely, they stood in the previous position [Detecting Undead] After this magic, the undead in the water just now All the magical aura of creatures disappeared.

"You should have alarmed that guy just now~www.ltnovel.com~ Looking at the obvious trace at the bottom of the stream, John can see what happened here before. As a Paladin, he faced Most living creatures are such undead creatures, and naturally they have accumulated a lot of experience facing such things. "You know, undead creatures are very sensitive to the breath of living beings. "

"And this undead creature has a certain amount of intelligence, not the kind of brainless guy." John's partner warrior Reso added. "Don't say anything else, that guy is already smarter than most monsters I've seen when he knows how to escape after he found you."

"But I don't think it's too smart, at best it's equivalent to a smart beast." Seeing the ratman and dwarf teammates showing some nervous expressions, Lawrence pointed to the stream and said. "If he had a slightly higher IQ, he wouldn't have left such a visible mark at the bottom of the creek."

He was not simply comforting, because now everyone can see that the bottom of the sand and gravel under the stream has left a clear mark as if it had been plowed once.

This trace made everyone feel a lot easier, and soon following this trace, Lawrence and the others found a monster door hidden under the water in a small pool upstream of the stream.
