Chapter 509: Bezos’ little thought, collectively go down the mountain

Fortunately, there is still a lot of open space on the cliff.

It’s enough time for the airship and Eagle Sauce to take off and settle down.

After the airship landed, Zong Shen also turned over and jumped off Yingjiang's back.

After the airship's hatch opened, Baron Bezos walked out with a tired look on his face.

We set off at less than eight o'clock in the morning and now it's almost 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Baron Bezos sailed on the airship for more than 7 hours.

"Brother Zong, your big gryphon is still faster."

"It's hard for me, an old man, to take a long-distance airship."

He took a good rest on the ground and said enviously to Zong Shen.

"Lord Bezos, did you encounter trouble on the way?"

"According to the normal airship speed of a normal airship, you should arrive between 1:30 and 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and this does not include the tailwind."

Zong Shen smiled and asked with concern.

Hearing this question, Baron Bezos nodded.

"We encountered several clawed goshawks on the way."

"The airship comes with a magic disk, which can emit magic bullets of wind and fire."

"It took us a while to get rid of the goshawks."

"But the time was wasted."

Baron Bezos stretched his body. After staying in the airship for seven or eight hours, his bones were stiff.

Zong Shen looked at the airship. There were several obvious claw marks around the body of the airship.

The deepest parts have even penetrated the metal pod.

Despite Baron Bezos's understatement, it is actually a huge risk.

No wonder it was delayed for nearly an hour.

"It's good to arrive safely."

"If I had known this, I should have let Yingjiang accompany me on the flight."

Zong Shen pointed at Yingjiang, that guy was the real overlord of the sky, as long as he bullied others.

It is very easy for others to bully it. A few clawed goshawks are probably captain-level raptors.

If Yingjiang is present, those guys can be turned into rations in minutes.

But these are just polite words. If Baron Bezos were present, he would not be able to get those lion and skeleton knights.

These skeleton knights are monsters that Baron Bezos can kill quickly, and they are a considerable fighting force for Zong Shen.

In addition, he got the 36 sets of fifth-level Lion Knight armor first, which was also an additional gain.

This is especially true for those treasure chests. If Baron Bezos was present and the treasure chests were discovered together, it would not be easy to distribute them. Although the aborigines could not open the treasure chests at all, Zong Shen was embarrassed to open them.

Now the relationship between the two is quite harmonious, and they both seek each other's interests.

Zong Shen couldn't just tell Baron Bezos just because of the treasure chest, I am the chosen one, only I can open this thing.

In addition, according to the previous planning of the strategy, at least 60-70% of the ruins were still unopened.

The armors he obtained should not be all in quantity.

After all, it is a station that can accommodate 6,000 cavalry, even if the final battle and the end come suddenly.

I think I should be able to keep hundreds of sets of equipment.

And this is still a conservative estimate.

Therefore, the benefits obtained first can only be regarded as tack-on.

It can also avoid unnecessary embarrassment and trouble for Zong Shen.

Now that Baron Bezos arrives, the exploration officially begins.

"My lord, it's better to rest for a while."

"I'll tell you the situation first."

Zong Shen took the initiative to say that at this time, the laborers brought by Baron Bezos were moving the luggage boxes.

Baggage boxes were piled in empty spaces.

Then it was opened according to categories, and some poles and tarpaulins were taken out.

It seems that a temporary camp is being set up here.

There is an altitude difference of more than a thousand meters on the top of the mountain. As long as the camp is not 100 meters high, it will not be observed.

Just like when they take off and land at a low altitude, it makes sense that the fishman sentries won't notice them.

However, if the distance from the steps is too high, you will be discovered.

The shallow-water murloc tribe must have long-range units.

Although it is impossible to shoot down flying objects at a height of one thousand meters, it will attract their attention.

This may affect the exploration and excavation of the ruins.

"Okay, Brother Zong."

"You must have gone down the mountain, right?"

Baron Bezos naturally wanted it. He led Zong Shen to the side and sat down on the baggage box.

Seeing this, Zong Shen also sat down next to him.

"I went down the mountain this morning."

"I discovered the pit and entered the cave."

"but…"

Before he finished speaking, Baron Bezos already understood, and a wise smile appeared on his face.

"Brother Zong must have met the Lion Skeleton Knight, right?"

"Those guys have been resurrected for hundreds of years, I guess."

"I also encountered their attacks when I came here decades ago."

"It should have been awakened by the shallow-water fishmen around."

Baron Bezos seems to know as much as Zong Shen.

But this is understandable, after all, he had been here decades ago.

I also explored the caves and corridors, and it was expected that I would encounter the lion and skeleton knight.

And it is clear that Baron Bezos’ previous explorations failed.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been thinking about it for decades.

Failure is common for military strategists, and even his exploration in the Azshara mines back then failed.

Two teams of second-level Avalon light swordsmen were damaged in the mine.

However, he later did not have much obsession with the mine.

On the contrary, he never forgot this place, and even got Zong Shen to join his team.

This can only show one thing, that is, there must be something that Baron Bezos needs very much in the remains of the Lion Knight's residence.

He didn't tell Zong Shen about this.

Otherwise, just rely on those fifth-level armors or the possible albums about the war that year.

There is absolutely no way that Baron Bezos could be so concerned and concerned about this place.

After being interrupted, Zong Shen did not rush to add anything, but lowered his head and nodded slowly.

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that he had obtained the magic storage box.

According to his experience of many explorations, the items that are worthy of being placed in storage boxes are truly good things.

Zong Shen hasn't had time to check this storage box yet, because he has to move the Lion Skeleton Knight first.

Now that I think about it, the item that Baron Bezos is pursuing should be right here.

Seeing that Zong Shen didn't speak, Baron Bezos added.

"I didn't go far when I entered the cave."

"There are ruins on both sides of the passage in that cave."

"It just requires digging, and it's a big project."

"If all goes well, it will take about a week to get it all done."

"Of course, this premise is that the Lion Skeleton Knight and the shallow water fishman will not interfere."

Baron Bezos was talking, and suddenly he couldn't help laughing.

"I was also confused. How could those guys not come to harass me?"

When Zong Shen heard this, he raised his head with a serious expression.

"Shallow water fish people don't have to worry."

"Mainly the resurrected undead in the ruins."

"This is a problem we cannot avoid."

He is also a little depressed now. Firstly, the development cycle is too long.

The second question is about the remaining lions, skeleton knights or other undead under the ruins.

As he possesses the [Ring of the Silver Lion], as expected, he should be able to conquer most of the undead.

But Baron Bezos cannot know about such things.

Baron Bezos nodded with deep understanding, and then laughed again.

"Hahaha, brother Zong Shen, does he think I have only prepared these two teams of fourth-level warriors?"

"I have nothing to hide from you about the ruins of this settlement."

"I have been thinking about this place for decades, and I successfully explored several ruins when I was young, and also obtained some good ancient items."

"This operation was naturally prepared."

As he spoke, Baron Bezos took off his face helmet and untied his front plate armor.

He took out a cross pendant from his arms.

It is a silver-white cross with a milky-white gemstone inlaid in the middle.

Zong Shen looked over and immediately understood where Baron Bezos' confidence came from.

This is a pendant item that has reached the legendary level.

And it has a great restraining effect on the undead.

"This cross pendant comes from the ancient Temple of Holy Light."

"The Temple of Holy Light is a force of Holy Light. They are in the same boat as the undead."

"The Holy Light Priest under your command comes from the Holy Light Temple."

Baron Bezos grabbed the cross and pointed at Aisia.

Zong Shen nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Then Baron Bezos said again.

"The Holy Light Temple has a long legacy and has not been interrupted by the end of the era."

"But the ancient Holy Light Temple is still much more powerful than the current one."

"The Holy Light Temple at that time could sense the spirit of Holy Light and summon powerful Holy Light warriors."

"And now the Holy Light Temple is no longer able to sense the spirit of the Holy Light."

"Fortunately, the power of holy light, as an element, can still be sensed and used."

"This cross comes from the ancient Holy Light Temple."

Baron Bezos introduced it proudly.

Zong Shen was a little impatient. What was this guy showing off to him?

He had just seen the cross thoroughly.

Now I really don’t want to listen to Baron Bezos continue to lie.

It seemed that he felt Zong Shen's thoughts.

Baron Bezos finally got to the point.

"This cross can emit holy light!"

"And it's ongoing."

"The maximum coverage is about a circle with a diameter of 100 meters."

"Under the holy light, most of the undead souls will retreat."

"Otherwise, you will be burned by the Holy Glory."

"In addition, this thing also emits a holy aura that is disgusting to the undead."

"These two methods are enough to drive away the overlord-level undead."

"As far as I know, there were only one or two hundred lion knights stationed in this station during the end times, and their main force was on the frontal battlefield of Azshara."

"So there will never be an epic or even legendary undead."

Baron Bezos said confidently, and then put the cross pendant into his collar.

Seeing how high his interest was, Zong Shen just nodded.

But one thing to say, this thing is indeed a good jewelry item.

Especially its effect is very effective against the undead.

Simply put, it is a talisman.

Very good at driving away the undead.

As Baron Bezos said, with this thing, it is really possible to successfully expel those lion and skeleton knights from the ruins.

"I hope everything goes as you wish."

"I will try my best to cooperate with your actions."

Zong Shen took advantage of the situation and lifted Baron Bezos back to the position of the main exploration force.

"By the way, sir, I need to return to the territory by the morning of the day after tomorrow at the latest."

He remembered another thing, so he took this opportunity to tell Baron Bezos as well, which was considered as a vaccination in advance.

"What's wrong? Is there something that needs to be taken care of in the territory?"

Baron Bezos didn't seem surprised at all.

Zong Shen nodded and said frankly.

"Yes, it will take about 3 days."

"I just heard from the adults that it will take about a week to dig it all out."

"But since you are confident that you can solve the problem of resurrecting the undead."

"Then I am confident that I can complete the exploration in two days."

After finishing speaking, Zong Shen stood up directly and came to the open space beside him.

He turned his hand and took out a [Magic Drilling Machine].

"I brought two drilling rigs like this."

"Coupled with the workers you have, I think two days should be enough."

Considering the tight time limit, Zong Shen could only hand over the drilling machine.

After seeing the drilling machine, Baron Bezos's face suddenly showed an expression of ecstasy.

"That's great, brother Zong Shen."

"If there were really two drilling machines, it would be possible to complete the excavation in only two days."

He first walked to the drilling machine and reached out to touch the solid metal body.

"Brother Zong, your storage space prop looks quite big."

"It can actually fit two drilling rigs."

Baron Bezos said in amazement, to which Zong Shen just smiled and said nothing.

Just kidding, the storage compartments are not designed for storage capacity.

No matter how big the drilling rig is, it only occupies one space.

As for why Zong Shen had to rush back to the territory in two days, the question was actually very simple.

Because two days later at twelve o'clock at noon, a new round of challenges will arrive.

It is already the second day after the end of the winter challenge, and it has already passed twelve noon.

Then the challenge details will appear at 12 noon tomorrow.

The challenge will officially start at 12 noon the day after tomorrow.

And this round of challenges is likely to be of climate type.

Based on his experience with the previous two challenges, the duration should be 3 days.

The intervals between challenges seem to be getting shorter and shorter.

But no matter what the situation is, Zong Shen must sit in the territory when the challenge begins.

First of all, territory is the basis for him to settle down and live his life.

Secondly, every challenge is also an opportunity to enhance your strength.

Even strictly speaking, Zong Shen's benefits from each challenge are much greater than exploring a certain ruins alone.

This time was the third challenge after landing, so there was no way he would miss it.

At the end of this round of challenges, it’s time to face the so-called level that comes one month later.

After that, there are no challenges for the next month.

The cycle of all challenges is calculated based on 7 days, which is an overall cycle including before and after.

The actual duration of the challenge may not be seven days.

After this month ends, there will be a challenge-free month.

It is also called a non-challenge month.

When you enter the non-challenge months, it's the real big development period.

At that time, not only the territory can develop smoothly, but also the accumulation during this period can be digested.

Zong Shen can also have more independent time to solve the problems of those ruins.

At least most of the ruins around the city of Azshara must be controlled first.

We also have to deal with the goblin tribe and the money-grubbing handsome guy.

Even the banquet trip to the giant city of Lentax needs to be kept in his mind.

All in all, the challenge is important.

During this month, just get more out of your challenges.

Then the territory will smoothly enter a period of rapid development in the next few months.

Zong Shen will leave other lords further behind.

This is the principle that the strong will always be strong.

Although the challenge month was hard, it also affected the development of the territory and Zong Shen's exploration.

But in fact the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

It's like eating, saving energy for the future.

When this energy can be released to its fullest, everything will be worth it.

Zong Shen knows this very well, so he also attaches great importance to every challenge.

Baron Bezos cannot be told about the challenge.

Therefore, the matter needs to be resolved within two days.

If you want to improve the mining efficiency, the best way is to take out your own [Magic Drilling Machine].

It's the best of both worlds, and at least Baron Bezos is happy about it.

The two discussed for a while, and then the tents were all set up.

It's just a temporary residence, so it's not worth spending too much time on.

However, I have to stay for two or three days, so I have to prepare a camp for rest.

"Then let's not waste any time."

"Get off the mountain now."

Zong Shen suggested, it was only around four o'clock in the afternoon after the camp was settled.

You can still catch a wave of excavations.

It was pitch dark in the tunnel anyway, so there was no need to worry about the night.

His proposal was supported by Baron Bezos.

All the workers immediately took water bags and shovels and were ready to set off.

The fourth-level swordsmen and rangers also lined up.

Zong Shen gathered his soldiers and decided to go down the mountain from the gentle slope east of the cliff top.

After all, the Lion Skeleton Knight was hiding in the forest to the west, although he kept a distance.

But to be on the safe side, try to avoid the west direction.

This can be regarded as Zong Shen's little thought.

As for Yingjiang and the airship, they naturally stayed on the cliff.

There is no need for extra guards, Yingjiang himself is the best bodyguard.

A large group of people followed Zong Shen from the gentle slope to the east towards the mountainside.

The sky is still bright now, and both Baron Bezos and Zong Shen have plans to work overtime.

So I also brought a lot of torches and rattan baskets with me, which would be useful after entering the cave.

Zong Shen had already explained before that everyone would remain quiet and line up to enter the cave.

This can reduce the risk of being discovered by shallow water fishmen.
