Beginning as King of Elden

Chapter 7 The Sealed Prison of the Ownerless Hound

With the dawn of light, Li Lin woke up early and rode towards the place where the ownerless hound was sealed.

As the magic circle is broken, there will always be soldiers and ordinary people wandering the roads in various places who have lost their minds.

Because Melina wasn't around and didn't want to be blocked by these miscellaneous soldiers to waste too much time, Li Lin chose to go around into the woods.

Thoret is worthy of being the spiritual horse sent by Melina. As a mount, its performance is quite superior and it can move relatively quickly and smoothly on rugged terrain.

...It can even perform a double jump in mid-air against physics, which is worthy of the name of the spirit horse.

Even in the woods, its speed is no slower than that on a flat road.

As expected by Li Lin, only some small animals were active in the woods, and they ran away quickly after hearing the sound of galloping horses.

When passing through the ruins, Li Lin suddenly heard the faint howling of wolves directly in front of him.

Controlling Torret to slow down, drawing the sword with his right hand and taking out the turtle shell shield with his left, Li Lin was ready to fight.

Although he is a warrior of faith, in the early stage without strong prayers, he simply continued to fight with sword and shield as a warrior.

Through the shelter of several big trees, a werewolf with a height of nearly four meters and a big sword was seen pulling a big sword from the body of an astonishingly large giant bear.

This werewolf has the head of a wolf, a body that can stand upright, and the proportion of the torso is basically the same as that of a human.

And this giant bear was over two meters tall when it landed on all fours, and its body length was over five meters.

The scene of the half-wolf pulling out the two-meter-long sword blade from the body of the giant bear is quite visually impactful.

As the sword was drawn out, the giant bear's body fell heavily to the ground.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves, the half-werewolf swung his sword and turned his head sideways. After killing the giant beast, his eyes were filled with the wildness of choosing and devouring people.

Li Lin was already thinking whether Torret ran fast or this guy ran fast.

Hell, isn't Ningmgfu a novice map? How could there be such an amazingly strong npc?

The openness of "Ring of the Ancients" has been well received, but it has also been criticized by many people. Being able to encounter powerful enemies in the early stage and being killed by them without any resistance is one of the main reasons for the negative reviews.

The huge, slender werewolf was dressed in full body armor with only his head exposed, carrying a big sword, and looked a little handsome.

"Torrett?" Seeing the spirit horse under Li Lin, the cold and cruel meaning in the werewolf's eyes suddenly disappeared.

"Who are you? Why did you become Torret's master?"

Although his face was a bit menacing and ferocious, his voice was unexpectedly calm and rational, even a little gentle.

It's an NPC that can communicate.

Li Lin put down his guard a little bit.

"As you can see, I am a wandering faded one. This spirit horse was given to me by a... witch."

"A witch?" the werewolf murmured.

"Since Torret has recognized him, he must not be a suspicious person." He continued.

"My name is Blaze, and I am looking for a man named Dariwell. I heard that he escaped to this place. If you have information about him, please tell me and I can provide some thanks."

"Dariwell?"

"Yes, he is a shameful traitor, and traitors deserve the fate of traitors."

When he said this, the cruel look unique to wolves appeared on his face again.

"I see," Li Lin said, "May I ask what characteristics he has?"

"He has claws and a greatsword, and wears a battered cloak."

"Okay, if I find his information, I will come and tell you."

Werewolf Blaze nodded, "I will live in this forest at night. You just need to snap your fingers near here and I will come over."

It’s strange, why does it feel like he suddenly regards me as one of his own? Is it because of Toret?

He also nodded in greeting, Li Lin didn't talk much, and continued to ride his horse to the location of the ownerless hound in his memory.

There are such huge bears in the forest.

Li Lin slowed down the speed of Lingma, and was ready to turn around and run away at any time.

Giant creatures are always the most distressing existence for lone fighter players in the early and mid-term.

Without powerful long-range means, the error tolerance rate in close combat with giant creatures is too low.

If you don't attack the vitals, hitting giant creatures with ordinary weapons is scraping, but a flat A of giant creatures can send you to the west.

In "Ancient Ring", no matter in the early, middle or late game process, mages are more adaptable to most monsters than regular fighters. "Ancient Ring" is sometimes even dubbed "The Ring of Mages" by players.

Li Lin had to lament the importance of spirit horses, because most monsters in "Ancient Ring" have a strong desire to attack, and coupled with the terrifying death penalty of the game itself, players without spirit horses can basically only form teams together. , all the way slowly push past.

Coupled with the huge map of the game itself, this also caused the progress of the game to be quite slow for both the first-line strategy team and ordinary players.

After walking through the forest, Li Lin came to the road paved with stone slabs.

Looking far into the distance, he could already vaguely see the location of the sealed prison.

However, there were also some patrolling soldiers on the road.

After a quick glance, these soldiers were all just cannon fodder infantry holding torches and long swords. Li Lin didn't bother to go around anymore, took out the turtle shell shield and straight sword, and rushed towards them.

Relying on his horse power and using his turtle shell shield to block several feeble attacks, Li Lin killed all the miscellaneous soldiers on his horse.

He didn't bother to take good care of this broken sword, he simply wiped the blood with the corpse of the soldier, and he sped up his horse and rushed to the seal.

As mentioned above, Li Lin, as an early warrior profession, is not good at dealing with giant creatures of great strength.

Conversely, the ownerless hound, an agile fighter who tends to be an assassin, is exactly what he is best at dealing with.

His impression of the previous golden heavy armored knight was already very vague.And the reason why the memory of the ownerless hound is so deep is because it was one of the few small bosses that Li Lin could easily defeat alone when he was still doing game strategy as a swordsman with two swords.

And Carlos' attributes are stronger than when he attacked the ownerless hound in his previous life.

The time of recollection passed quickly, and when he came back to his senses, Li Lin had already stood on the seal.

It is said to be a seal, but it is actually a huge circular stone slab on the ground, with a large number of runes and wedge seals of unknown meaning engraved on it.

Li Lin sent back the spirit horse - this kind of seal does not allow the soul to enter, so it is impossible to summon the ghost wolf through the ashes, and the spirit horse cannot enter it.

He walked to the center of the seal and squatted down, holding the shield in his left hand, clamping the hilt of the straight sword with his right hand, and then touched the rune in the center of the seal with his palm.

Close your eyes and try to pour your thoughts into them.

A strange sense of detachment came, and Li Lin knew that he had successfully entered the seal.

When he opened his eyes again, a giant curved blade slashed towards him with a hissing wind!
