Chapter Forty-Eight: Under the Stone Wall

As for the Yanhuo boar, the others also had a general understanding of it under the introduction of Helsing and Monett, because the strength was not strong and the senses were not very sensitive, so everyone quietly accelerated to bypass them from the side and continue to go deeper into the valley.

The group was a little silent along the way, perhaps because only Helsing had been here, so everyone else was a little nervous.

After bypassing the herd of wild boars, the castle tower did not return to the open flat area in the middle of the rift valley, but moved quickly under the projection of the rock wall on the right, stopping to explore the vicinity after every ten kilometers, and then leaving some hidden markings, so that they would not remember where they could find the relevant information when they followed the exploration team into it on the return trip or a few days later.

The first day was calm, and indeed as the Water Cloud Leopard King said, there were many strange beasts in the Western Rift Valley that were obviously not native to the valley, and these migratory beasts or herds all had one thing in common, that is, they all had the affinity of the fire element.

However, the more they walked, the more frightened they became, as everyone went deeper into the depths of the Western Rift, although the valley was gradually becoming flat and wide, the strength of the strange beasts encountered by everyone was gradually becoming stronger.

I still remember that next to a ditch after everyone had traveled a hundred miles, the castle tower and his party encountered one of their strongest beasts so far when they entered the Western Rift, a Flame Lion King who had broken through to the A-rank, although it belonged to the same clan as the Flame Lion Queen on the way to Yuxian in the forest that day, but the aura exuded by this Flame Lion King was much stronger than the one seen in the forest that day because of the bonus of the fire element in the valley.

Therefore, even with the two second-generation demon beasts of Helin and Anna in the team, everyone decided to take a detour after sensing the breath of the Flame Lion King from a distance, but they saw the Lion King who was more than ten meters tall drinking water by the ditch from a distance of thousands of meters, so they hurriedly left the position where they had stayed before.

As the sunlight gradually rose on the rock face on the east side of the rift valley, there was a commotion from all over the valley, which was a sign that the strange beast had begun to hunt.

For safety, the group left the middle of the wide, flat valley floor and went to the west side of the rift valley under the rock wall, found a natural gap in the rock wall, and then hid inside.

Said to be a fissure, in fact, it was a cave with a width of about three meters and a height of more than ten meters, and it was not known to be deep, and after everyone entered it, they simply checked it to make sure that there were no strange beasts, and then sealed the entrance, leaving only a few very small gaps in ventilation and light transmission at the top of more than ten meters high.

Unlike the sky on the grassland that gradually darkened, the night in the rift valley had already fallen the moment the last ray of sunlight disappeared from the rock wall, and the people of the castle tower hiding in the cracks in the rock wall did not panic too much in the face of the sudden dark night, Mu Ji and Lin Ziyue took out the lighting crystal without heat source at the same time, and the cave was bright.

"At night in the Western Rift, if it's not something urgent, it's best not to have open flames, this place is full of alien beasts with fire elemental affinity, and their senses for physical flames are even sharper than blood, once they are detected by these alien beasts, it will be very troublesome. "The heatless Illumination Crystal is a constant item for Adepts entering the Outlands, but Helsing reiterates it to the crowd.

After a whole day of running, everyone can finally rest at this moment, on the first day of entering the rift, the ten members of the castle tower traveled one hundred and seventy kilometers, although the concentration of fire elements around them is gradually increasing, but there is still no trace of the elemental crystal ore mentioned by the Water Cloud King.

Everyone from themselves

He took out food, or energy potions, or some ready-to-eat simple meals from his bracelet, and Hai Xin sat down beside Lin Ziyue, and then took out a large piece of air-dried beef from the bracelet and ate it.

"Lin Zi, haven't you recovered yet?" While eating the dried meat in his hand, Hai Xin asked casually, Lin Ziyue has been so absent-minded since this morning, and his eyes still linger on himself and Anna from time to time, although he doesn't know what happened, but he knows that Lin Ziyue said that it is an excuse not to rest well.

And now that a day has passed, it is almost the last time he entered the Western Rift, and he has not walked the road after that, and it is still up to Lin Ziyue to lead the team to make a judgment.

After the academy competition, the people in the castle tower will habitually listen to Lin Ziyue's opinions when they act, although they may not be absolutely correct, but Lin Ziyue can often give the most objective and appropriate judgment.

Hearing Hai Xin's inquiry, Lin Ziyue shook his head, although he hadn't eaten for a day, he didn't have the slightest appetite at the moment, he just took out a bottle of water from the bracelet and drank it: "I'm fine, whether we find any trace of the fire element crystal ore tomorrow, we will all return." ”

Seeing Hai Xin feasting on dried meat in front of him, Lin Ziyue's mind was full of blood stains on his face in a dream, and then he was pierced through his body by several sharp weapons, although he couldn't see any signs from his face, but Lin Ziyue had some fear in his heart, afraid that his dream would become a reality.

"Hai Xin..."In the silence, Lin Ziyue suddenly spoke.

"Huh, what's wrong?"

"After entering the rift valley with the exploration team, don't turn back to your original form no matter what situation you encounter?" Lin Ziyue said in a low voice.

The crack in the rock wall was not small, and everyone else was eating and talking, so they didn't hear Lin Ziyue's whispering.

Hai Xin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and lowered his voice and said: "I can't promise you this, if I encounter danger, I will definitely turn back to my original form to face the battle, and the dignity of the upper three clans will not allow me to escape." ”

"At least, leave directly after the battle, don't come back!" Lin Ziyue stretched out his hand and put it on his shoulder, looking at his eyes and said seriously.

Although he had seen Lin Ziyue's serious appearance many times before, but at this time he gave Hai Xin a little different, Hai Xin reached out and scratched his long red hair: "What do you think, if it has reached a situation where I need to turn back into my body to solve it, then I will definitely go away with Anna and you, how is it possible..."

Speaking of this, Hai Xin also seemed to understand what Lin Ziyue was worried about, if the situation he said really happened, he turned into a demon beast body to fight the enemy and then came back, thinking that everyone except the castle guard would definitely have a grudge, and if he turned into the main body and never returned, the rest of the castle guard would definitely be questioned by the strong man in the exploration team, and it was not impossible to be killed and killed for safety in this outer region.

"I can only say that if it is not a last resort, I will hide my identity, and I will also tell her on Anna's side, you can rest assured, I will not embarrass you. Helsing said seriously.

Hearing Hai Xin's reply, Lin Ziyue was finally able to settle down a little, and just as he was about to say something, there was a slight vibration from the ground below him, and a few beast roars were faintly heard outside the cracks in the stone wall.

"Turn off the lights, silence!" Lin Ziyue and Hai Xin suddenly raised their bodies and came to the vent that had been left at the top of the cave before, and the others

's reaction was also quite fast, and after hearing Haixin's warning, he immediately withdrew the lighting crystal into the space bracelet, and then flew up and came to the entrance of the cave.

Bai Shaoqin also climbed the high platform several times on the stone wall, and looked out from the reserved vent, but it was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything, and the same was true for the others, and the only people who could see what was going on outside were Hai Xin of the Night Spirit clan and Lin Ziyue, who had a second vision. And although Anna is also a second-generation demon beast, she doesn't have the ability to see at night because her body is a hoof clan, and she can only see darkness at this moment.

"Hesing, Lin, what's going on outside?" asked Monet, who was crouching at the entrance to the ventilated cave, looking at the darkness in front of them, and whispered, they could hear the chaotic footsteps, but they didn't know what was going on.

With the help of the second vision, Lin Ziyue saw that within a kilometer in front of the rock wall, at least more than 100 alien beasts with fire elements in their bodies were running and fleeing in the darkness at the moment, but most of them only fell to the ground after running a hundred meters, and then the beast crystals containing the abilities in their bodies were swallowed by another fire element.

Hai Xin really saw that it was dozens of C-level Stygian Devils hunting and feeding, but he also felt a little tricky to see that Stygians, a species that had a very poor reputation among alien beasts, would appear here.

"A group of blazing antelope has been hunted by dozens of ellips, and the leading one is already about to break through the A-level. Helsing said with a frown.

The Stygian Clan has the affinity of the two elements of darkness and fire, although it is an ape beast but belongs to the Beast Clan, and feeds on other alien beast crystals, the reason why they are difficult is because the Stygian Clan only operates at night, and they can almost completely hide their body shape with the affinity of the dark attribute, and the other alien beasts have no time to dodge when they perceive their attack.

Although the strength of the Styx individuals is not strong, ordinary clansmen are only C-level strength, and their size often does not exceed two meters and five, but their speed is extremely fast, and they are very good at concealing their breath, so that many B-class beasts will be buried in their hands without defense.

The main reason why other races are quite disgusted with the Styx is that they will not kill their prey after catching it, but will disembowel the prey while it is still conscious, eating their hearts and body crystals.

"What kind of beast is that? Why have you never heard of it?" In the dark, Li Ji often came to his voice with some doubts, and Mu Ji also gave him a rough introduction.

Hearing that they were feeding on beast crystals and fresh offal, Li Hui and the Xiao family sisters both frowned, feeling a little churning in their stomachs, and then asked with some concern, "Then we're okay here, right?"

Helin smiled: "As long as those blazing wind antelopes don't run to our side, the talent ability of the Stygian Clan is a dark streamer of the dark element, and there is no attack ability, as long as that leader can't come, the others are not our opponents." ”

But as soon as he said this, Hai Xin suddenly stopped, and Lin Ziyue suddenly became nervous.

There were a few blazing antelopes that were fleeing in all directions, and they broke away from the ranks of their own clan and ran towards the rock wall where everyone was hiding, among them was the leader of this group of wind antelopes, and at this moment, it was the leader of the Stygian who had reached the peak of the B rank with his talent ability and was chasing after him.

And when the leader of the blazing antelope was struck down by the largest of them, he was less than five hundred meters away from the stone wall.
