After passing the last forest level, the further you go, the fewer trees there are. Large tracts of barren land began to appear in front of everyone, and the piled stone hills replaced the dense forests and became the main theme of the scene. In the distant wasteland, the bronze human feet that suddenly protruded from the earth were particularly conspicuous. Xiao De was excited at the time: "Oh! Is that the legendary bronze giant!" Li You asked Xiao Pa for specific information about the bronze giant, and Xiao Pa replied: "It is said that the bronze giant Talos fell asleep in this land a long time ago. At that time, this place was not within the scope of the Golden Kingdom." "However, after the establishment of the Golden Kingdom, Midas's people blocked this area for safety and turned it into a restricted area to avoid waking Talos. "The next destination is just ahead. We just need to carefully cross this wasteland. Talos has not woken up for a long time, and he must be fine this time. ” Li You: “…” I admire your courage to put a flag on yourself. Edge has already noticed something is wrong, and asked through mental connection: “If I’m not mistaken, this thing will probably get up soon, right?”
Li You replied: “…If I have to say, if it doesn’t get up, I’ll have a headache. The mission requires you to defeat all the bosses along the way.” “Okay, I think so too.” Edge silently put on the Broken Steel Claws, and then reminded: “Everyone pay attention! Enemies are coming!” Everyone was alert, and soon, a group of Golden Country soldiers rushed out from the front and killed the group. Druid clenched the battle axe and long sword in his hands, and the fighting spirit was high: “Then come on! Fighting and fighting are also an indispensable part for heroes! " He was about to rush forward, but the next moment, Xiao De only felt that his eyes went dark, and Yuzu had already roared and rushed out, blocking in front of everyone, waving the naginata in his hand, and used a standard horizontal slash! The naginata of the broken monk was heavy, tough, but extremely sharp. With Yuzu's great strength, with one swing, several enemies in front of him were cut in half. Xiao De: "...Ah! The opponent was robbed again!" Xiao Pa complained on the side: "If you don't want to be robbed, don't say so many opening remarks next time. " With Youzi leading the way, the group was unstoppable and soon arrived at the gate of the pass guarding the road to the Sleeping Plain of Taros. Here, Li You saw many familiar things. An elite warrior led the team and stood at the gate of the pass. Soldiers lined up behind him. Archers also stood on several arrow towers in the pass, staring at them. Several pits of different sizes were dug on the road in front of the pass, scattered around in a mess, and spikes were buried in the pits. Beside the captain of the soldiers, there were two tall and muscular men with bare upper bodies, wearing iron helmets, guarding. One of them was holding a thick rope in his hand, and a tiger was tied to the end of the rope. It was a little restless, but was restrained by two big men. Seeing the mighty striped tiger, Xiao De and Xiao Pa's eyes lit up. The captain of the soldiers looked at Li You and his group and said loudly: "You just don't want to give up, right? ” “A smart person would not think of breaking into this plain and stimulating Taros to wake up from his slumber, otherwise everyone would be doomed!” Xiao De and Xiao Pa looked at each other, then turned to consult Li You, but saw that Li You had already stood at the back of the team, and didn’t know what he was doing. Xiao Pa thought for a while and said, “We don’t plan to wake Taros, we just want to pass through here! As long as you don’t show your weapons, we won’t do anything!”
Unexpectedly, the captain of the soldiers shook his head: “You don’t understand anything at all... Soldiers! Line up and attack!” The soldiers behind him shouted in unison, and the captain of the soldiers took the rope from the strong man next to him, turned over and rode on the striped tiger. He drew out his long sword and pointed from a distance: “All of you will die here...” “Bang——! ! " With a shocking gunshot, Li You, who was standing at the end of the team, pulled the trigger of the sniper rifle. Before the captain of the soldiers finished speaking, he was shot in the chest, and a huge hole was directly opened in the entire torso. Golden Country Soldiers: "! ?" Xiao De and Xiao Pa: "What——" Only Li You put away his gun and waved his hand: "Go!" Yuzi, who had been prepared for a long time, roared and rushed towards the two strong men regardless of the pit. And Edge had gone around to the back at some point, climbed up the arrow tower of the pass, and was cutting the long-range archers one by one. Ye Ge was not polite either, flying back and forth in the air, cutting and killing, and blood splattered. Xiao De and Xiao Pa were just stunned for a moment, then reacted, and quickly joined the battle. A melee, in the end, all the soldiers in the pass were destroyed. These miscellaneous soldiers are no longer in Li You's eyes. However, there are many weapons and equipment in the pass. Equipment, it would be nice to let the two brothers choose. Xiaode threw away the broken sword and axe and replaced them with a pair of new ones. In fact, this pair of weapons had been changed several times on the road, and they were no longer the first two. After thinking about it, Xiaopa chose a Spartan-style round shield and a spear, and then took a short sword and hung it on his waist, and that was it. As for Li You and others, there was no need to change their equipment, but Li You had nothing to do, so he chose a bow and took out the recycling quiver, ready to play the role of an archer. Anyway, there are too many warriors in the team. In addition to the equipment update, they also got one more thing, that is the striped tiger. At this moment, Yuzu was holding it and guarding the door. The striped tiger, which was a little agitated, immediately became obedient after seeing Yuzu, and lay on the ground obediently, just like a big cat. Li You smiled and walked forward to touch it. Greek golden tabby, this cat couldn't be stroked casually in the past, it was very strong. But now it's different. Aggie watched the excitement and came up to stroke it twice, thinking it was quite fun. Xiaode and Xiaopa watched from the side with envy, and Xiaopa explained at the right time: "This is a striped tiger that inherited the blood of Warcraft. It is very suitable for warriors to ride... I didn't expect to catch a live one here." His words just solved Li You's doubts. After all, the body structure of cats is not suitable for people to ride, but it seems that the striped tigers in this world are different from normal tigers, so it doesn't matter. So he said to the two brothers: "In that case, it's yours." Xiao Pa was a little surprised: "Are you going to give it to us?" "Well, we don't need it."
Xiao Pa wanted to say something, but Xiao De had already jumped up and hugged it: "Okay, that's great!" He turned his head excitedly and looked at Xiao Pa: "Let me ride it, you help me hold it!" Xiao Pa sighed and said: "No, brother, although the striped tiger is a mount that many heroes can tame, it is still too dangerous for beginners. I can't let you do this for me, let me do it." Xiao De: "?" The two then quarreled. "It's my turn to ride! I'm the older brother!" "I should ride it, you can't ride it well at all." "You're talking nonsense! You obviously haven't ridden it!" "My father taught me when I was a child on Tenadus Island." "I don't believe it!" Li You and others on the side: "..." How to say it, the striped tiger is a mount in the game, and there is only one in some levels, which is indeed rare. If two people play together, someone might argue about it. But as far as Li You is concerned, he thinks that the tiger is not easy to operate, so he has never argued with his brothers and sisters about it before. The problem is, if they quarrel over a striped tiger, then when the friendship hammer appears, they will fight? So Li You made up his mind that when he saw the hammer, he would take it himself, so as to avoid the two brothers really fighting. This is all for the friendship between companions. Li You said: "Stop quarreling, there is only one striped tiger, let's take turns riding it now, we should be able to see it later." "Compared to this, it's better to hurry up, the princess is still waiting for us." Xiaode and Xiaopa stopped arguing, and at Li You's suggestion, they used a copper coin to decide who goes first and who goes last. Finally... In the wilderness, Xiaode rode the striped tiger happily. "Oh! Oh oh oh--!!" Xiao Pa held a spear and a round shield, muttering in the back with great resentment, while constantly calculating the time. "There are enemies! Charge, Nemea!" Xiao De found two soldiers in front of him, and immediately shouted, commanding the striped tiger to move forward. The striped tiger roared, carrying Xiao De to pounce on the soldiers in front! In front of its huge tiger claws, the two soldiers were torn apart without any resistance. In addition to the striped tiger's demonstrative roar, only Xiao Pa's roar echoed in the air: "So Nemea is a lion! Not a tiger!" Xiao De ignored him at all, and rode the striped tiger he named Nemea back to Li You and others, and said excitedly: "This feels so good! Li You, it's a pity if you don't try it. I'm sure you have never ridden such a powerful mount."
Li You didn't answer, but just smiled, but Yuzu on the side straightened his chest and howled, scaring "Nemya" to shrink back. Edge couldn't help but hold his forehead: "You are kids." They walked forward along the wasteland, and gradually approached the bronze giant buried underground. When the group approached the colossus, a small sparse forest appeared in front of them. "It's getting late, let's rest here. We have to pass by Taros next, just in case." Li You suggested at the right time. Derrick and Xiaopa had no objection. Xiaopa, who had just ridden the striped tiger for a while, jumped off its back, stroked its fur, and said: "Take a good rest, Cerberus." Derrick complained: "Your name is even worse!" Li You directly ignored their crosstalk performance. As for Edge, she and Yuzu went hunting. After a while, the two dragged a wild boar more than one meter long back. Derrick and Xiaopa were still circling around the striped tiger, while Li You had already taken out the workbench briefcase and unfolded a new functional expansion section - the basic cooking supplies table. This workbench contains simple knives and tableware, as well as pots and grills. "Let's do it." Xiaode and Xiaopa finally came to their senses and came to Li You. "Oh, is today's prey a wild boar?" Xiaode rubbed his hands, "Leave it to us, we brothers are quite experienced in this area." Li You did not object, he really did not know how to deal with the prey he had just caught, and Aggie had some experience, but he had never dealt with a wild boar. So Yuzu handed the wild boar to the brothers. Xiaode and Xiaopa skillfully began to disembowel and bleed the wild boar, and even borrowed Li You's knife for use. The processing of prey is quite time-consuming. After completing a set of procedures, it is completely dark. However, the divided wild boar meat has also been placed on the grill, and Li You and Aiji completed the cooking together. The night in the wilderness is very quiet. Around the bonfire, everyone sat around, eating roasted wild boar and drinking wine. Xiao De became interested and began to tell everyone about his "heroic" experiences when he was young, such as fighting various monsters, etc., and then he was dismantled by Xiao Pa. The dinner ended in a commotion, everyone made arrangements to take turns to keep vigil, and then they all rested. The night passed in a blink of an eye, The next day, the energetic people set out again. This time there were no obstacles on the way, and the group headed straight for the sleeping plain of Talos. Of course, from Xiao De and Xiao Pa's point of view, they were just passing by, while Li You and his group were already planning how to deal with Talos. Talos is quite tall, no worse than the Skeleton Giant, the guardian of Death Cell, and its entire body is made of thick bronze, with its only weak point being its heels. Of course, in the legend, Talos's weakness is his knees, but this effect cannot be achieved in the game. Talos only has two legs, so the weakness was changed to heels. What kind of Talos in this world is yet to be confirmed, but in any case, Li You doesn't think that this Talos will be the same as in the game, clumsy enough to only use his feet to attack people. Maybe it should be treated as a complete skeleton giant.
So Li You stood ready, taking out the Lightning Moon Shadow and the Original Spear, and the ninja tool of the Xuanfa Bracers was also switched to the Mist Crow Feather in advance. At the same time, he was also ready to activate the spirit-controlling technique in the soul pendant. Yuzu and Aggie didn't take it lightly. Yuzu held the naginata tightly, and Aggie kept observing the bronze statue getting closer and closer. Their serious attitude also infected the two brothers Xiao De and Xiao Pa. Xiao Pa said: "Judging from the words of the soldier captain before, there may indeed be rules here that we don't know, and we must be prepared for Talos to suddenly wake up. " He stopped talking nonsense, jumped off the striped tiger's back, picked up his shield and spear, and became as alert as Li You and others. Only Druid was a little confused: "Aren't you going to ride Nemea? You've just changed people." "Stop talking nonsense and get ready! We'll wait until we leave this area." Xiaode still wanted to ask a question, but suddenly there was a violent vibration on the ground beneath his feet! Both Xiao De and Xiao Pa staggered, but Xiao Pa was well prepared and regained his footing after only a slight stagger. However, Xiao De happened to be trying to climb onto the striped tiger, and this time it shook violently. He immediately threw him down and frightened the striped tiger into running into the distant woods. "No! Nemean-!!" Li You's side was fine. Everyone steadied their bodies and looked at the hill that was starting to rise in the distance. Seeing the mound growing higher and higher, constantly shaking off large amounts of loose soil, and finally turning into a giant humanoid statue, standing tall and tall on the ground, Xiaode, who had not yet climbed up, raised his head and was stunned! Li You tightened his grip on the knife: "Get ready to fight!" Everyone was solemn, dispersed in a tacit agreement, and picked up their weapons. Xiao De was not ambiguous at all. Only Ye Ge floated in the air and cursed: "Why is it this kind of thing again? I can't absorb it without flesh and blood!"
