Chapter 898: Arrival Of [ Second Update ]
Dudian felt a sense of crisis after Barker’s appearance. However, Barker’s appearance didn’t surprise him too much. When he was exposed, he considered that he would face the joint attack of the three Abyss, he also considered that there were hidden experts of the abyss. He was ready to face four abyss at the same time. From the current situation, Barker didn’t seem to want to participate in the fight. But now he was involved because of his existence, he wasn’t sure what his purpose was.
It was possible that he would join forces with Horaney and Monica to deal with him. There was another possibility that he could get rid of them.
Dudian didn’t continue to think about these possibilities. Plans were never as good as changes. Especially in the situation where the wall was constantly changing. If he was weak then he would be attacked by a group, the only way to ensure his safety was not to get injured.
He slightly pulled away from Barker, Holaney and Monica in case the three of them suddenly launched a sneak attack.
Barker and the other two noticed Dudian’s actions but didn’t say anything. It was normal to have such concerns. If they didn’t then they would be too confident and even stupid.
A moment later, the experts gathered by Hillman arrived one after another. Dudian saw that there were hundreds of pioneer level experts gathered on the plains outside the south gate. There were eight masters and twenty-three experts from the inner wilderness, such a lineup completely crushed the power of Sylvia!
Holani went forward to reorganize. A moment later, a pioneer level team of nearly 500 people was formed. Five masters, including Dudian and Aisha, led the team. Seventeen Masters acted as assistants as they marched out of the giant wall.
“Isn’t it time to share the information about the underpolar ice worm?”Dudian asked Holaney.
Monica and Barker’s eyes lit up. They didn’t seem to hear Dudian’s words.
Holaney looked at them and smiled: “Of course. I will tell you when we get to the giant wall. It is not suitable to discuss here.”
Dudian didn’t say anything as he saw that Holaney agreed.
In less than half an hour they arrived at the giant wall. The pilots and pioneers who had the ability to fly were the first to fly up the giant wall. They threw down the rope to lead the other pioneers.
Dudian, Barker, Holaney and others were the first to climb up the giant wall. They stood at a height of 1,000 meters. The blue sky and white clouds seemed to be close to the giant wall.
Holaney came to the edge of the giant wall. She took out a scroll and spread it on the edge of the platform. It was a map.
Cold Wind Blew. Holaney pressed her palm on the map and pointed to one of the places: “This is the outer edge of the swamp magic pit. This is the southwest part. My hunting group found the trace of the polar ice worm.”
Dudian didn’t get too close in case they suddenly attacked. After all, they were of the same rank. If they were ambushed, it was inevitable that they would be seriously injured or even lose their lives. It was like two adults together, the person who ambushed could kill the other with a brick.
The map was very detailed. It was the first time that Dudian saw such a detailed map of the giant wall. The giant wall stood in the middle of the map. It took up less than one-tenth of the total area of the map, the terrain was divided by different colors. There were gray areas, light red areas, green areas and so on. The place that Horaney pointed to was a black area!
There were a few white letters in the middle of the black area. It was the meaning of the swamp magic pit.
Dudian’s eyes swept over the area. In addition to the swamp magic pit, he also noted down the other areas in the vicinity. At this time, he looked at Barker and Monica, suddenly he said: “Master, you are the Master of a wall. Do you have any suggestions?”
Barker frowned as he saw Dudian’s reaction: “After all, Holaney knows the most details. Let’s listen to what he has to say.”
Holaney’s face slightly changed. He knew that Barker wanted to know the most details from him. He snorted in his heart but was calm on the surface, “The trace of the Polar Ice Worm is at the edge of the swamp magic pit. Everyone knows that the temperature of the center of the swamp magic pit is the lowest. So I think the polar ice worm will go there.” Dudian pressed his finger on the center of the black area.
Monica and Barker frowned but didn’t say anything.
Dudian paid attention to the expressions of the three of them. He pondered for a moment, “Do you have any good suggestions? As far as I know, the deeper the magic pit is, the more dangerous it is. Even if the five of us work together, there is no guarantee that there won’t be any accidents. Do We have to force our way through?”
Holaney indifferently smiled, “Mr. Dean is joking. It’s impossible to force our way through. Even if we have twice the number of people, we will suffer a great loss. Let’s go to the location of the polar ice worm first. Monica will see if she can track the whereabouts of the polar ice worm. If she can find it, then we will follow the route of the polar ice worm. How about that?”
Dudian didn’t speak but looked at Barker and Monica. To be honest, what Holaney said was all nonsense. However, at least there was one piece of information that was revealed. Monica’s ability was related to tracking.
There were two pieces of information derived from this information. Barker and Holaney were not good at tracking.
Tracking could be classified as perception. Those who were not good at perception were good at attack and defense.
Barker saw that Dudian had no objection. He looked at Monica: “Are You Sure?”
Monica slowly nodded: “Let’s try.”
The decision was made. They continued to climb over the giant wall and headed towards the swamp.
Dudian asked for the map from Holani. He looked at it a few times and asked: “What are these regions?”
Holani knew that Dudian wasn’t familiar with the situation so he couldn’t refuse. He casually explained a few sentences. In fact, even if Dudian asked a lord he would know the information on the map. He was too lazy to hide it.
They passed through two large areas. One was a gray area which was close to the giant wall. In this gray area they met many undeads and high-level monsters, occasionally the weaker ones were at the level of a senior hunter.
Fortunately, the lowest level of the group was the pioneers. There were no injuries at all.
After passing through the gray area, they came to a yellow area. The level of the monsters here had obviously increased by a level. Occasionally they would encounter pioneer level monsters. Some of them were good at hiding while others were lurking in the mud, some of them were disguised like stones. Even Dudian couldn’t tell if they were real or fake. Of course, he didn’t look at them carefully. He was prepared to fight in the swamp.
The other masters or generals had seen through the monsters along the way and directly cleaned them up.
There were about 500 people in the team. There were many perceptive experts and their perceptive abilities were strange. Some had special vision, some had special hearing and some had mysterious perception to predict the danger, it was difficult for ordinary monsters to hide in front of such a large team.
After four or five hours of trekking, they finally arrived in front of the swamp magic pit. Dudian clearly felt that the atmosphere in the hunting team had calmed down. The whispers were reduced, as they approached the outer edge of the swamp magic pit, they met a general-level monster. It was like a giant undeads. It directly attacked them and was killed by a master who was leading the way.
“We are here.”Holaney said. He looked up at the lifeless land and occasionally saw the remains of cement buildings. He whispered: “Pass down the order. Everyone should be alert and lurk forward.”
A general next to him immediately passed down his words.
Dark golden light flashed in Dudian’s eyes. The radiation concentration in this area was far stronger than other areas. The monsters loved to live in areas with high radiation concentration!
Long term living in the nuclear radiation environment would increase the mutation rate of the monsters. Their growth and reproduction would also increase. The monsters themselves would carry a lot of bacteria and nuclear radiation, nuclear radiation and bacteria would also spread denser. It could be said that they complemented each other.
