Cannotfindto use the means of Ancient Tree of God's Evilfishing, Li Chadoes not intertwineinthis.
没能找到利用神孽古树钓鱼的办法,李察也不在此纠结。Focused onatanothermatter.
把注意力放到了另一件事上。Justthinks the gate of spacetime, hediscoveredsuddenly,nowin the handhasmanytreasures, buthas not used.
刚刚想到空间之门的时候,他恍然发现,现在手中已经有了不少宝物,但都没利用起来。Especiallyinthesehigh-gradetreasures that indungeonobtainisso.
尤其是在副本中得到的那些高等级宝物更是如此。Firstis the stone of plane, thisisJonesgiveshisquestto reward.
首先是位面之石,这是琼斯给他的任务奖励。Thisis the toptreasure that takesfromplane of avalanche, the valueis inestimable.
这是从一个崩塌的位面中取出来的顶级宝物,价值不可估量。Butbecause is also extremely high-end, nowhowhehas not knownuses, is usedto makeanything, can only put aside.
但也因为太过高端,他现在还不知道如何使用,用来做什么,只能搁置。
The blood of second——Sacred Dragon.
第二件——圣龙之血。ThisiscompletesAquest, Fergusonbestowstohisreward.
这是完成A级任务,弗格森赠送给他的奖励。Canimprove the pinnacle a skill, needingLv. 15canuse, is in a short time unlikely.
能把一个技能提升到极致,需要15级才能使用,短时间内也不太可能。Third, spaceteleportation gate, canconnecttwospaces within 50kilometers, thisthinghas the strategic value, butalsonoplacecanuseat present.
第三件,空间传送门,能连通50公里内的两处空间,这玩意具有战略价值,但目前也没什么地方可以使用。Onlycankeep the future.
只能留着未来了。In the fourth——handmassiveblueprints.
第四——手中大量的图纸。Sand Magetower, magicgarden, magicfountainthreewraps.黄沙法师塔,魔法花园,魔法喷泉三件套。Constructs——Hero Altarspecially, the transportationmachine manufactureworkshop.
特殊建筑——英雄祭坛,交通机械制造车间。 Dragon Hunting CrossbowandDragon Hunting Crossbow Boltsthesetwo★★★★blueprintsalsobecause oflackingresources, butis unable to forge......
还有猎龙弩和猎龙弩箭这两件4星图纸也因为缺乏资源而无法锻造......Li Chathinks that thisreveals for severalpointsto smile bitterly.李察想到此不由露出几分苦笑。„Toptreasureis unable to use, canuseandlacked the resources...... this is also difficult?”
“顶级宝物无法使用,能使用的又缺乏资源......这也太难了吧?”Besidesthese, Ancient Dragon Crystal...... was unable to obtain a Agiant dragonheroto the Skeletal Blood Dragonuse, the significanceis great.
除了这些之外,上古龙晶也还未给骸骨血龙使用......能获得一个A级巨龙英雄,意义重大。Butthisneedsa lot offlesh, needsto find the timeto complete.
但这又需要大量血肉,需要抽时间去完成。„These extremelyhigh-endtreasureis unable to usetemporarily, after canwait, does not needto worry.”
“那些太过高端宝物暂时无法使用,可以等以后,不用着急。”„blueprintandAncient Dragon Crystalcanlook for the opportunityuse.”
“建筑图纸和上古龙晶可以找机会使用了。”Li Chacleared off the train of thoughtslowly.李察慢慢理清了思绪。„blueprintneeds the resources, thiscan conduct emphatically.”
“建筑图纸需要资源,这点可以着重进行。”„The Skeletal Blood DragonpromotionwasAheromatter must put on the agenda, when the giant dragonherowas born, looked for the Wyvernwhereaboutsfull power, solvedthisbighidden danger.”
“骸骨血龙提升为A级英雄这件事也要提上日程了,等到巨龙英雄诞生,就全力寻找双足飞龙的下落,解决这个大隐患。”Wyvernmakeshimbe nervous and uneasy, butthesealsoinvolveto have the mithrilundergroundworld, is to make himattach great importance.双足飞龙让他如芒在背,而这其中还涉及到拥有秘银的地下世界,更是让他重视。NowAncient Tree of God's Evilhas becomehispersonalitem, so long asand otherToxic Hornetmultiplied, the Dusk Citydefensivepressurecanreducemany.
现在神孽古树已经成为了他的私人物品,只要等剧毒黄蜂繁衍出来,黄昏之城的防守压力就能减少许多。„Therefore first goal must add on——to gaina lot offleshto feedAncient Tree of God's Evil.”
“所以首先目标还要加上一条——获取大量血肉喂养神孽古树。”„If, earnsresourceswith enough timeagain, construct——Hero Altarto establishcan the specialness of resurrectinghero, simultaneouslydefending a cityurgently needed Dragon Hunting Crossbowforges.”
“如果来得及的话,再赚取一笔资源,把能复活英雄的特殊建筑——英雄祭坛建立起来,同时把守城急需的猎龙弩锻造出来。”So long asdefensestrength boost of territory, hedoes not needsoto worry.
只要领地的防卫力量提升,他就无需如此担忧了。But the foodmusteatone after another, the mattermustdo.
但饭要一口一口吃,事要一件一件做。Now the keycultivatesToxic Hornet.
现在关键还是把剧毒黄蜂培育出来。
After twohours, the armyrestoresin peak condition, Li Chaordersthreeheroesto lead the armyto go outagainto hunt.
两个小时后,军队恢复巅峰状态,李察再次命令三个英雄率领军队外出狩猎。Obtaining the preycorpsetransports.
把获得的猎物尸体运送回来。FirstmakesAncient Tree of God's EvilhatchToxic Hornet.
优先让神孽古树孵化剧毒黄蜂。Ancient Tree of God's Evilactuallydoes not needhimto provide, so long asthere isenoughToxic Hornet, itcanforce-feed itself.神孽古树其实都不需要他供养,只要有足够的剧毒黄蜂,它自己就能喂饱自己。
The significance that Toxic Hornetis bornisto helpAncient Tree of God's Evilhunts.剧毒黄蜂诞生的意义就是帮神孽古树狩猎。
The armyhuntedcontinuously for twodays.
军队连续狩猎了两天。
On July 6, afterthrowingfeda lot ofcorpses, on the Ancient Tree of God's Evilemptybranchhaddozensfruits.
7月6号,在投喂了大量尸体之后,神孽古树空荡荡的枝丫上结出了数十个果实。Over a hundredToxic Hornetare revolving the crownhumming sound the flight.
上百只剧毒黄蜂正围绕树冠嗡嗡飞行。Althoughalsomissesmuchto the densequantity, butithas the ability of independentgrowth.
虽然离黑压压一片的数量还差不少,但它已经重新具备了自主发育的能力。Li Chastandsin the territoryedge, looks that this has the sense of achievement.李察站在领地边缘,看着这一幕还是颇有成就感的。Whatothersplantwatches the big tree, heplantscanwant the human life.
别人种的是观赏大树,他种的能要人命。Buthornet that initiallypreyed on the deserthoney, at this momentbecomesbattle efficiency that protectsDusk City.
而当初捕食沙漠蜂蜜的黄蜂,此刻成为了守护黄昏之城的战斗力。
The geomancytransfersin turn.
风水轮流转啊。In the meantime, the distant placehorizonsplashedeverywheredust, Greyleads the armyto bringmassivepreyto return.
就在此时,远处天边溅起漫天的尘埃,格雷率领着军队带着大量猎物返回了。Throws after the preyas usualfeedstoAncient Tree of God's Evil, Greygoes forwardto report.
照例把猎物投喂给神孽古树后,格雷上前汇报。„Master, wein a piece of bush, discovered a temple......”
“主人,我们在一片灌木中,发现了一座神庙......”
A temple?
一座神庙?Li Chastares.李察一愣。„Bythattemplehas a big tree?”
“那座神庙旁边是不是有一棵大树?”„Is......”
“是的......”Li Chasmiles, wasn't thisskillful?李察笑了笑,这不是巧了吗?
The darktemple is really is also predestined friendswithhim.
黑暗神庙还真是跟他有缘啊。„Thistemple, whenyouhave not been born, ismygoal.”
“这座神庙在你还未诞生的时候,就已经是我的目标了。”
The darktempleis the firstadvancedmap that hediscovers, oris the goblindiscovery.
黑暗神庙是他发现的第一个高级地图,或者说是地精发现的。Initiallyinhishandonly thenBandage Mummyunit(s), Greylet alonebecame the hero, wasCurse PharaohMilitary Unit Lairhehas not purchased.
当初他手中只有绷带木乃伊一个兵种,格雷别说成为英雄了,就是诅咒法老的兵种巢穴他都还没购买。At that time when went outto sweep the chartmetDesert Goblin.
当时外出扫图时遇到了沙漠地精。Thesepresentis raising the Fire Dragon-Rabbitfellowto take awaythattemplehim.
那些现在正在饲养火焰龙兔的家伙把他带去了那座神庙。Because the templeguardsto be powerful, hedid not have the opportunityto gothismapto capture/raid.
因为神庙守卫实力强大,他一直没有机会去把这个地图攻略下来。HoweverpresentDusk Cityalreadytoday we are no longer as we have been.
不过现在的黄昏之城已今非昔比。SinceGreyexplored that as if not needto remain.
既然格雷都探索到那了,似乎没必要留着了。
The fatetokept offcannot block.
缘分到了挡都挡不住啊。„Convenes the army, goesto attack the darktemplewithme.”
“把军队召集回来,跟我前去攻打黑暗神庙。”„Yes, master.”
“是,主人。”Greyputs out a crystalfrom the handimmediately, startscontactsGunterandcavalryheroBarrwith the psychic force.格雷立刻从手中拿出一颗水晶,开始用精神力跟冈特和骑兵英雄巴尔进行联系。★★★treasure——secret crystal, in50kilometers, graspingsecret crystalcantalk to each other.3星宝物——密语水晶,50公里以内,手持密语水晶能相互沟通。HadthisStrategic Treasurearmyto communicateefficiencyremarkableincreasetime.
有了这个战略宝物军队沟通效率显著提升倍。
After Greyreceivessecret crystal, Li Chathought ofanythingprobably, congealingsound said.
等格雷收起密语水晶后,李察像是想到了什么,凝声道。„Discovers the trace of Wyvernandundergroundworld?”
“有没有发现双足飞龙和地下世界的痕迹?”For these days the armywent outis not the purehunting, sought for the entrance of Wyvernandundergroundworldisimportantquest.
这几天军队外出可不是单纯的狩猎,寻找双足飞龙和地下世界的入口都是重要任务。„The region that previousWyvernpresentswehave investigatedwith emphasis, buthad not discovered.”
“上次双足飞龙出现的区域我们已经重点探查过,但并没有发现。”„Hina?”
“希娜呢?”„Had not foundMs.Hinatrail.”
“也没有找到希娜女士的踪迹。”Li Chabrowslightlywrinkle.李察眉头微皱。WyvernafterattackingDusk City, lost the trail.双足飞龙在袭击黄昏之城后,就失去了踪迹。Is seeking forWyvernHina, vanished.
连带着去寻找双足飞龙的希娜,也消失了。Thismadehis heartraise not the goodpremonition.
这让他内心升起了不好的预感。Butlooks forpersonmatter, besidesincreasingmanpower, does not have a betterway.
但找人这种事,除了增加人手之外,也没有更好的办法。
After onehour, the army that dispersesallreturns.
一个小时后,散出去的军队全部返回。Li Chaput downWyvern and Hinamattertemporarily, focuses on the darktemple.李察把双足飞龙和希娜的事暂时放下,把注意力放到了黑暗神庙上。
The innermost feelingsraised the intensecuriosity.
内心提起了强烈的好奇。Whattreasurein the darktempledoesn't know the Daoist canon?
黑暗神庙里面不知道藏着什么宝物?Templetemple, totalhow manydivine toolshasto be passable?
神庙神庙,总的有几件神器才说得过去吧?
After armyaccumulation, after Li Chaat this timeverysomewhatrankhigh, oncelet a hebignovicevillagebossslaughterfeeling.
军队聚集之后,李察此时很有几分等级高了之后,把曾经让他头大的新手村boss都屠一遍的感觉。Ancient Tree of God's Evilhas put in the bag, now is only left over the darktemple.神孽古树已经收入囊中了,现在就只剩下黑暗神庙了。Thisattackcannotonlybring the air force.
这次进攻就不能只带空军了。
After the thinking, starts a soldier.
思索之后,开始点兵。uncommonunit(s)——Bandage Mummy51, Poison Scorpion Soldier58, Great Axe Dead Rider42, Sand Archer100, crazysandmage75,稀有兵种——绷带木乃伊51,毒蝎战士58,巨斧死骑42,凝沙弓箭手100、狂沙法师75,Super Rareunit(s)——Dark Gargoyle120, Axe of the Dead40,罕见兵种——黑暗石像鬼120,亡者之斧40,Magnificentunit(s)——Heavy Blade Warrior30.辉煌兵种——重刀战士30。Imperial crownunit(s)——Skeletal Blood Dragon1, skeletonDemon5.

有神孽古树在,领地的安全问题已经得到了根本性缓减。
After the armyis neat, Li ChalooksCrowe that comesin a hurry.
军队整齐之后,李察看着匆匆而来的卡鲁。„Crowe, increasessomemanpowerto seek forHina. Sinceshemadeto returnwithyouas soon as possible, severaldays of timedisappeared, perhapsprobablyencountered the problem.”
“卡鲁,增派一些人手去寻找希娜。既然她跟你约好了尽快返回,几天时间不见踪影,或许可能遇到麻烦了。”Howeverthisboundlessdesert, wantsto look for a being unknownpersondifficulty is too big, can only say that tried one's luck.
不过这茫茫沙漠,想要找一个去向不明的人难度太大,只能说是碰运气了。„Yes, Sir.”
“是,大人。”
After Li Chaalsourgedseveral, has not hesitatedagain, waves, bringing the armyto leaveto go to the darktempleimmediately.李察又叮嘱了几句后,没再迟疑,一挥手,带着军队立刻动身前往黑暗神庙。Thistimehehad built upDusk Citymost powerfulelite.
这次他已经集结了黄昏之城最强大的精锐。Mustinevitablycrew cutthatmap.
势必要一口气推平那个地图。
After leaving the territory, army'sactiononsandis very slow.
离开领地后,军队在沙地上的行动十分缓慢。Butwas used tohim of speed run, someare unable to endure.
但习惯了快速飞行的他来说,有些无法忍受。Heis preparingto receivepart of armiesto go in Hidden Soldier Card, remainingis dragging awaywithDark Gargoyle.
他正准备拿藏兵牌收一部分军队进去,剩下的用黑暗石像鬼拖着走的时候。Looks down the tread5metershighheavybladepuppet, suddenlyeyeonebright.
低头看着地面五米高的重刀傀儡,突然眼睛一亮。Hethinksheindungeon, sneaks the lake bottomto controlsandTaito avoid the movement of Templar Dragooninvestigation.
他想到了他在副本中,潜入湖底操控沙台躲避圣堂龙骑兵探查的动作。At that momentimmediatelymakesarmyclosing upstand.
当下立刻让军队靠拢站好。Yellow sandraysurges.
身上黄沙光芒涌动。In an instant, the gravel of groundcondensed a strangecamel in the desert.
霎那间,地面的沙砾凝聚成了一个古怪的沙漠之舟。

前段是船一样的形状,后面则是敞开的沙台。

沐浴龙血之后,他的魔力上限提升到了4000点。Standsabove the yellow sand, manarestoresto reach as high as60points every second.
站在黄沙之上,魔力每秒恢复高达60点。Thisis the extremelyabnormalcategory.
这已经是极为变态的范畴了。WithSand ControlthisultraAenergy, controlsin the level that manarestores, startsto control the camel in the desert, forward motion.
用掌控黄沙这个超A级能,控制在魔力恢复的水平之内,开始操控沙漠之舟,向前移动。shā shā~沙沙~Drew inseveral hundredpeople of armies the camel in the desert on the sand.
拉上数百人军队的沙漠之舟在沙地上动了起来。Li Chais situated infront, probablygrasps the captain of ship's rudder, the bodyyellow sandrayis the onlyenergy storage.李察立于前端,像是掌握船舵的船长,身上黄沙光芒是唯一的能量源。Juststarted the speed is not quick.
刚开始速度还不快。

等到他逐渐熟练之后,他开始控制着前方不平整的沙砾变得平整,让沙漠之舟更容易行进。Evencertaingiantsteep slopes, hemakes the camel in the desertflydirectlyhorizontally, crossedforcefully.
甚至某些巨大的陡坡,他直接让沙漠之舟横飞而起,强行渡过。

在沙漠中冲浪的李察都快玩嗨了。Hadartificialcarrying of camel in the desert, the speed that the armymarched forwardwas extremely quick.
有了人工沙漠之舟的搭载,军队行进的速度极快。
A 3~4hour of distance, a halfhourarrived.
原本三四个小时的路程,半小时就到了。
After hesees the frontcoverbroadbush, wavinglets the camel in the desertavalanche.
他看到前方茂密宽广的灌木后,挥手让沙漠之舟崩塌。

军队立刻变成了战斗模式。Li Chais quite satisfied with thistransportationway.李察对这种交通方式极为满意。Not onlywavesto come, has not neededto considerto stopthisbigdifficult problem.
不仅挥手即来,还不用考虑停车这个大难题。Withincrease of army, he can also expand the range of camel in the desert, morepeople.
随着军队的增加,他还可以扩展沙漠之舟的范围,拉更多的人。Restrictedonlyhisonly has the manaconsumption.
唯一制约他的就只有魔力消耗了。Twomonthscover that even more, thispiece of bushgrows.
两个月的时间,这片灌木生长的越发茂密了。Li Chawaves, makingGreybringDark Gargoyle of twosquadsfirstto investigate the news.李察挥了挥手,让格雷带着两个小队的黑暗石像鬼先去探查消息。A moment later, Greyreturnsreportsreply.
片刻之后,格雷返回禀报。

黑暗神庙没有额外动作,但是外面的神庙守卫此时已经达到了两个中队。Li Chalooking pensive.李察若有所思。„ThesetwomonthsDusk Cityis growing, thistemplehas not stagnated, the strengthincreasedmuch.”
“这两个月来黄昏之城在发育,这座神庙也没停滞,力量增加了不少。”Thinks,decidedexaminespersonally.
想了想,决定亲自去查看一遍。Waves, callsSkeletal Blood Dragon, sat the backdirectly.
挥了挥手,唤来骸骨血龙,直接坐上了后背。Launching.

后方六个小队的黑暗石像鬼跟随而上,进行护卫。Althoughwingspan20metersSkeletal Blood Dragondoes not have the great strength of Templar Dragoon, but the rank of imperial crown★in additionLv. 10, makingitstillverydomineering.
翼展20米的骸骨血龙虽然没有圣堂龙骑兵的强大,但是皇冠1星外加10级的等级,让其依旧十分强势。But the whole bodyjust like the dragonwing of rubyglittering and translucent carvingblood-colorskeletonandbreakage, wasletsitssemblanceeye-catchingto the pinnacle.
而浑身犹如红宝石般晶莹剔透的血色骸骨和破损的龙翼,更是让其外表拉风到了极致。Did not sayother, solelyisthisappearance, bringingto work as the mountto be enough.
不说其它,单单是这个卖相,拿来当坐骑就足够了。Whatonlypitifullyis, in the desertdoes not have the aristocratyoung girl, no onecan seeagaingracefully......
唯独可惜的是,沙漠中没有贵族少女,再帅也没人看得见......Whistling~

视线中出现了那棵二十多米高的大树。
Under of big tree, the frontstands erect the temples of ninegiantstone columnsto be especially conspicuous.
在大树的下方,前方竖立着九根巨型石柱的神庙格外显眼。Inthesestone columneachis carving the colorfulancientSpiritual Goddesign.
那些石柱每根上都雕刻着色彩斑斓的古老神灵图案。
The aura of sending outmakes the will of the peopletremble, as ifinsidesealsomepowerfulDemon.
散发的气息让人心颤,似乎里面封印着某种强大的恶魔。In the rear area of stone column, the templeis opening the front doorshows the lightray, fuzzygivespeople an especiallymysteriousfeeling.
在石柱的后方,神庙敞开着的大门透出淡淡的光芒,模糊中给人一种格外神秘的感觉。In the templefront, Temple Guard of overtwosquadronswatertight that the weeksurrounds.
在神庙前方,超过两个中队的神庙护卫把周围堵的水泄不通。TheseTemple Guardwith his firstseeingdoes not have anydifference.
这些神庙护卫跟他第一次见到的没有什么区别。

身上铭刻着人面狮身图案的黑色盔甲在透过树叶的斑驳阳光照耀下,反射出森冷的光芒。Intheirhandsis raisingbefore a curvinglike the sickle, the hiltstraightstrangeweapon.
他们手中提着一柄前端弯曲如弯刀,刀柄笔直的奇异武器。Headclothingtiphat that flutterstwocoloredis being the belt/bring, probably the pharaohguard in Egyptianmyth.
头上穿戴着飘着两根彩色系带的尖头帽子,像是埃及神话中的法老护卫。Ankham Temple Guard, Lv. 8, Rare ★★★.安卡姆神庙护卫,8级,罕见3星。Hisforesightforpowerfulexistence that is unable to resist, at this momentis unable to blockhisstepagain.
他之前视之为无法抵挡的强大存在,此刻再也无法阻挡他的步伐。

地面的神庙守卫此时也发现了天空中的李察,一个个抬起头,用充满怒意的视线死死瞪着他。Detected that the badness of enemy, Skeletal Blood Dragonroar under place~sends out a lowroar.
察觉到敌人的不善,座下的骸骨血龙吼~发出一声低吼。dragon prestigesweeps acrossunder.
龙威席卷而下。Butthisactionas ifbrokecertaintaboos.
但这个举动似乎触犯了某些禁忌。Aura that just liketen thousandzhang (3.33 m)mighty wavesfromdarktempleturbulently.
一股犹如万丈波涛的气息从黑暗神庙中汹涌而出。Probablyendlessabyssdisintegration, theseconcealsopened the eyesin the darkness and evilterrifyingfrom the dense fog.
