Chapter 40 Final Preparations
"Denia is above, but there is a forest below?" Lina covered her mouth and whispered: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to believe it. I thought it would be like the Dragon Seal, with a bare surface at the bottom. However, what did these trees grow first? There are no trees in this area. I looked like grass and shrubs, where did the seeds appear?"
"These trees were very early," Panis explained. "Since the First Age, they may have reproduced here from generation to generation. Who knows what this area looked like in the countless years before the First Age? Maybe it was not a plateau or mountain, but an ordinary plain suitable for trees to grow."
The sky was already bright, and the fog rolling in the marks of the earth gradually became thinner. Although it still blocked the vision, with the vision of legendary professionals, they could already see the scene below through the thick fog. The guide Ike looked down for a while and nodded, "The fog has dispersed to the maximum extent. It is impossible to become thinner if you wait any longer. You can almost go down."
"The last equipment check before entering," said Penis. "It is important to make sure that every item mentioned is ready to use and that every item is in its best condition."
"Head lamp." Panis took off the cortical forehead guard on his head, and a similar head lamp was used by everyone as soon as he was crying. As long as a piece of activated one hundred tel light attribute crystal fragment can be embedded, a faint light column can be maintained for a long time to illuminate the direction of his forehead. Due to the size of the crystal energy lamp, it is impossible to install it on the hat, so this method can only be used to replace it. Among the five people in the adventure group, only Freya had not participated in that adventure. Therefore, this simple but effective prop has not been used. However, because of his preparation, Freya had learned to use it normally under the guidance of Catherine.
"Very good, next piece, shoulder lamp." The girls each took out a unique crystal energy lamp from a leather case firmly fixed on the left shoulder, and turned it on and off several times in a row to ensure it can work normally. This crystal energy lamp looks very strange. The main part of its body is vertical, and its volume and shape are similar to ordinary crystal energy lamps. The excitation, absorption and storage arrays of crystal energy are all engraved inside the main part, but the only difference between it and the crystal energy lamp is that its main part does not emit light, and the whole body is made of opaque metal. There is a curved elbow above the main part, and one end is
Connected to the main body part, keep the other end horizontal. When the crystal energy is turned on, a converging light column is shot out from the elbow. The light is not strong and the brightness is relatively low, but the range is very long and can illuminate the space fifty meters away. Fixing the shoulder lamp to the belt on the shoulder can keep a certain brightness directly in front of the body at any time. This shoulder lamp looks no different from the crystal energy lamp, but the inner magic array is far more complicated than the ordinary crystal energy lamp. The cost is also very expensive. This one used by five people, even if it is purchased at the internal price of the Mechanics Guild, is sold at a price of up to 3,000 gold coins.
"Wrist cable." Pannis raised his hand, and a rope formed by countless extremely thin metal wires and processed tree spider silks popped out from the back of the wrist. The suction cup at the top of the rope was opened in the air. It was nailed to the ground after ten meters, and the unique suction cup firmly sucked the ground. Even if it was pulled with force, it would not loosen. Seeing that everyone, including Ike, popped up the wrist cable normally. Pannis nodded and pressed several switches on the wrist. The suction cup immediately lost the suction force and loosened it, and the wrist cable automatically retracted into the wrist guard of the wrist.
"Positioning disc and locator." Each of the few people took out a crystal plate slightly larger than the palm of his hand. Six different colors of light spots flashed. Each color represents one person in the team. As long as it is within a range of 500 meters, the approximate position of the teammate with locator can be displayed on the locator on the locator.
"Snake-proof boots." Snake-proof boots are a pair of long boots made of armored cowhide. They have very strong defense capabilities. Although the name is Snake-proof boots, they can actually defend almost all the threats of insects and snakes from the ground. Unless they are exaggerated snake monsters in the Death Forest, no insects and snakes can bite through these long boots. However, these long boots are very hot to wear and need to be used with ice-attribute crystal fragments to hold on, otherwise people will be too hot to bear in just a few hours.
"The ice-attribute crystal fragments need enough." Sure enough, this is the next Panis checked, but the reason is not just because of snake-proof boots: "The more we dive into the ground, the higher the temperature in the environment. If we really go deeper than 1,000 or 2,000 meters underground, the surrounding temperature will probably be like entering the oven. Only by relying on this kind of thing can we survive for a long time. Fortunately, there were enough prepared before, and five thousand ice crystal fragments, which should be enough for the six of us to survive for fifteen days."
"Are you planning to be a cycle of fifteen days?" Ike said: "Ice crystal fragments must be enough, but fifteen days may not be enough."
"If there is not enough time, come up and resupply and then go down." Panis explained: "Humans are different from your crypt dwarves. You are used to living underground. If humans cannot do it, they cannot bear it mentally."
"I understand, you can continue." Ike nodded and agreed to Panis's opinion: "If there are any special human needs, Mr. Panis, please remind me that I do not know much about humans, and the consideration is also from the perspective of the crypt dwarf, and it is likely that it is not comprehensive enough."
"Okay, then just one, the bass whistle." Everyone had a small whistle hanging around their necks. They put them in their mouths and blew them hard, but no sound was made. However, although there was no sound, a very small piece of metal that everyone carried with them vibrated. When they turned to the direction where the whistleblower was, the vibration was the most violent. This is an uncommon tool. The whistle will emit a kind of low sound wave that most creatures cannot hear. The metal block carried close to them is the receiver, which will only react to this sound wave. It seems to be very useful, but because the transmission range of this sound wave is very small, less than one hundred meters, it is far less than the one imagined. It will only be used in darker environments, or when enemies cannot transmit messages nearby.
"Twenty packs of deodorant powder per person, three bottles of healing potion per person, two bottles of breath-holding potion per person, and two bottles of Hawkeye potion per person." Panis said while checking, "It's basically all. Let's check their own personal belongings. If you don't have time to prepare after going down, you must be prepared."
"What exactly are there?" Katherine was the one who had the least combat preparations, so she was the first to sort out. She asked while waiting: "Look at how serious you and Mr. Ike are, what are the dangerous things?"
"In fact, it is relatively safe to land in the forest below." Pannis and Ike looked at each other and recalled: "I used to go around several nearby landmarks with a few friends. Of course, I didn't go deeper, just walked in the open air. In the forest below, except for some ferocious small monsters that cannot be named at all, there are a large number of giant bugs. Although fighting often occurs, with our strength, there will be no problem. The real difficulty lies in the way to go."
"What's wrong on the way down?" Lina also finished sorting out her things, holding a thick novel and sat aside to read it quickly. When she heard Panis's explanation, she couldn't help but ask curiously: "Will there be creatures attack us on the cliff?"
"There will be, and there will be a lot." Panis said with a wry smile: "Don't look at the fog here as it fades, you will know that the fog in the marks of the earth is still very thick, and it is difficult to see the surrounding environment. Do you still remember the fog forest we passed by in the flash forest? Although the fog here is not so exaggerated, it has a similar effect. Some strange creatures will emerge from the fog without any warning at any time, but we often can't even see anything they are. And we are in mid-air by accident, if we fall down accidentally, no one can land alive except Vivian."
"There are many attackers?" Katherine frowned and asked with some concern: "Will the attack frequency be very high?"
"It depends on luck." Panis sighed and shook his head, "No one can meet any luck. If you are not lucky, you will encounter a lot of them. No one can figure out the specific frequency. Ike, you haven't figured out now."
"No." Ike also shook his head and said, "I can only expand the shield and carry the speed down, because no one knows when he will be attacked. It will be too late to unfold the shield when he is attacked. Therefore, it is difficult for professions who are not a legendary level or above here to continue. After all, the duration of the shield at the golden level is still too short, especially when he is attacked, it will be shorter, and it is difficult to support it until he leaves the fog layer."
"Can you ensure safety by expanding the shield?" Vivian and Freya completed the preparation almost at the same time, and carried the same giant backpack together. Vivian asked, "Is it possible for the enemy's strength to force the shield to break through?"
"I haven't encountered this yet." Ike thought for a while and said negatively: "Judged based on my current experience, as long as I keep expanding the shield and then ensuring that I don't fall by too many attacks, there should be no problem."
"That's fine." Catherine stood up and made a decision: "Now everyone's strength can last at least an hour for the shield, which should be enough for us to land at the bottom."
"It seems that everything has been sorted out." Ike looked around and nodded, "Then everyone prepare to go down quickly."
Chapter completed!
