318 Black Mist Space
Catherine landed on a dark and damp land, and there was a black fog dozens of meters away in front of her. With a magician's sensitive touch to the elements of magic, she could feel a small amount of water elementals here. This was the second time Catherine had felt the presence of the magical element in the world of the Silver Dragon King.
Having a magic element means that you can cast magic, even if it's a small amount, it can still play a big role in critical moments. This was the case, for example, in the previous confrontation with the barbarians.
Catherine crouched on the ground and twisted up a bit of dirt, which is common knowledge as an explorer - the most rudimentary judgment of the unknown.
Although the mud makes people feel wet, it is actually an illusion - the cold exacerbates the feeling of wetness. The soil is nowhere near as watery as it seems, but it is in line with Catherine's perception of the water elemental around her.
In addition, the low temperature of this place also made the female mage discover another benefit of séance. Because she doesn't feel cold now, it seems that the spirited can have a spiritual physique to a certain extent.
Past experiences had taught Catherine that dark, somewhat damp landscapes were often found in caves in the mountains, and that there was a water source somewhere nearby. The source of water may be groundwater or infiltration from the surface.
Of course, the situation is special today. If the bone cloud is a living being, after entering its body, the so-called moisture will most likely come from the bodily fluids of this life.
Catherine made a basic judgment about the environment and waited patiently in place. She wasn't sure if everyone would be scattered or gathered in the same area when she entered the place. The gold was entered at the same time as itself, but apparently separated. Fortunately, Catherine could feel the gold nearby. Ever since the mischievous metal shadow became a mount for female mages. There is a subtle spiritual connection between them, and they can communicate each other's thoughts to each other.
Similarly, Catherine had a certain spiritual connection to Lion Peak and the Overseer of the Second Expeditionary Force. The mage attributed these similar connections to the side effect of the Expeditionary Force's War Chamber - the product of soul contact.
Unfortunately, there are pros and cons to this connection. The advantage is that he can easily establish a spiritual level of communication with the other party, and even perceive the position of the other party to a certain extent, but the disadvantage is that the same thing happens to the other party, and in the face of the two-way effect, Catherine cannot take the absolute initiative.
Moreover, after entering the interior of the bone cloud, the connection with the two Overseers from the outside world was completely severed. The female mage was a little disappointed. After all, if the Lion Peak has always been able to sense its own existence, the two sides may be able to act together at some point. In that case. Catherine's chances of getting out alive will be greatly improved.
within the estimated time. Neither the old dog nor the barbarian shaman appeared. Catherine knew that most of the cave entrances to the Bone Cloud were connected to different places, and that the entrants were scattered.
This is a relatively bad situation. From the outside of the bone cloud, it shouldn't be too big inside. But at the moment, the internal structure is obviously more complex than expected, and it is likely to form a separate space. Both the risk and the exploration time multiply.
Catherine took a deep breath. Pack up your mood. It seems that for the time being, we will have to go it alone. The spiritual connection with gold is slowly weakening. The gold was moving away from her, and Catherine had to meet him as fast as she could, before she could find the other two.
The black fog in the cave does not need to be dispelled. These things seem to be alive, always floating a few meters away from the body. But they obstructed the view, making it difficult for Catherine to move quickly.
After experimenting with several directions, the female mage gradually moved closer to the golden. Probably because of the black mist, the golden color moves very slowly. Soon Catherine found hoof prints on the ground, and the damp dirt kept the golden footprints intact. This made his hostess pick up the pace all at once, and the time required to explore was significantly shortened.
However, before Catherine could cheer for the upcoming reunion, she heard the sound of a fight.
"Chirp" golden chirps are rapid and aggressive. The female mage's already slow pace picked up again. A frozen snowball the size of a finger condensed in her hand. Water was so scarce that Catherine wasn't sure what the Frozen Snowball would do in battle. But she can't care much, as long as there is magic, even a little bit can make her a lot more comfortable in the battles she may face.
After seeing a series of chaotic hoof prints, the black mist in front of Catherine suddenly churned violently. Immediately afterwards, the black mist quickly dispersed to both sides, and the golden rush rushed out. He saw the female mage immediately scream with joy, and reflexively rushed back to where she had come.
Catherine didn't dare to slack off, and hurried to follow, but saw a group of tattered humanoid armor swaying towards her. These humanoid armor were rusty, and the whole body had become red and yellow because of the large number of rust spots, and some parts of the body had rusted through the holes. The armor walked with a "creaking" and "creaking" sound, and there were hundreds of them in groups. Although they don't walk fast, it makes people's scalps tingle.
The golden rush rushed in front of the humanoid armor, and the man stood up. With a "bang", he kicked down three or five with his front hooves. He then puffed out a puff of red smoke from his nostrils, and the humanoid armor that had been stained with it quickly rusted, and large swaths of his body melted away.
However, the humanoid armor in front was easily crippled by gold, but the humanoid armor behind continued to surge fearlessly. The golden attack only slowed the march of the armored army for a few minutes.
Catherine frowned, sensing something was wrong. Seeing that Jin fled back to her side, the small Xiaoice ball in her hand spread out and turned into a cloud of ice crystal mist. The mage threw the ice mist towards the ground, and the damp mud immediately formed a layer of frost. The humanoid armor walked onto the frost and slipped to the ground with a "crackle", and the guys behind didn't know how to stop, and suddenly piled up a hill of armor.
Taking advantage of this, Catherine summoned gold, turned and left. As she walked, she pondered: Metal Shadow feeds on metal, but there must be a special reason why Gold has to flee in the face of this group of humanoid armor.
After a brief spiritual exchange with Gold, Catherine suddenly realized. It turned out that after entering the cave, Jin couldn't find his hostess, so he wandered alone in the space filled with black mist. He stumbles upon a walking humanoid piece of armor. Of course, he will not be polite when he likes to eat metal, and happily eats the humanoid armor into his stomach. But then bad luck happened, the second humanoid armor came out of the black mist, and after the gold ate the second, it touched the third and the fourth...... When he finished eating the tenth humanoid armor, Golden found himself facing hundreds of humanoid armor that were slowly approaching. By this time, not only had he been unable to eat anything, but he was also surrounded by humanoid armor. Fortunately, as a metal shadow, gold can easily corrode the metal and escape calmly. However, even after escaping the encirclement of the humanoid armor, the walking metal continued to chase him until the golden met Catherine.
The mage understood the cause and effect, and knew that her mischievous mount might have triggered an alarm or a trap in this space. The so-called humanoid armor is likely to be the guards here, and if an outsider attacks one of them, it will alarm the other guards.
However, the situation has not yet developed to the point of being out of control. Those humanoid armors had a very average intelligence, and they moved very slowly, and the gold color was just right to restrain them. So there was no big danger, but Catherine was more worried that there would be something powerful waiting for them besides the humanoid armor.
After a little thought, she decided that she still had to find someone else as soon as possible. Catherine rolled over and rode on the gold, pointing in one direction.
The surrounding black fog does not seem to be harmful to the human body at the moment. Their main purpose may still be to block the view. But even so, it still brings a lot of difficulties to the pathfinder. Gold can only travel at trotting speed at best.
I was really unlucky, and I didn't run a few steps, and a humanoid armor came out of the black fog in front of me. "Go around it and don't attack. Catherine gave an instant order.
"Chirp," Jin cried out dissatisfiedly. This guy was already planning to step forward and kick the humanoid armor that got in the way. Fortunately, he will still carry out the master's orders well. The gold changed direction slightly, and ran against the humanoid metal.
Catherine stared at the humanoid metal on her horse, and noticed that the humanoid metal didn't seem to spot them, but continued in the direction it was walking. Sure enough, these things are still different from real intelligent creatures, and as long as they don't attack, they won't attract their attention.
With this discovery, the golden color bypassed one after another humanoid armor that emerged from the black fog in the rest of the process, without attracting their "attention".
A small crisis was finally resolved. But Catherine didn't have much time to be happy, for she saw the golden hoof prints again. They ran around and went back to where they were. To make matters worse, the humanoid armor that had been chasing them also emerged from the black mist. The number of humanoid armor seems to have increased quite a bit, and Golden and Catherine had to engage in a small battle with them to break free from the encirclement.
This does not bode well. If you can only go around in circles here, sooner or later you will be "drowned" alive by more and more humanoid armor.
When she reached a relatively safe place, Catherine simply dismounted. She must find a way out. The mage believed that the cave was not just an enclosed space. The problem was that the black fog was blocking the view, and once the humanoid armor ran out, they would take a detour to dodge. At this point, it will deviate from the original direction of travel. If you encounter the humanoid armor a few more times, it won't be strange to go back to the same place. (To be continued.) )
