Chapter 205 The Pit in the Sand
"Sand, I've been patrolling the Sunset Mountains for so long, I've never seen sand here. And you say the sand is still hot? How could it be!" Mohm reached out and touched the sand, his brow furrowed even tighter: "I swear in the name of the dwarves, this is definitely not sand! it looks, feels like ...... Phew, it even tastes like it. But dwarf bloodline can't be wrong, it's definitely not sand!"
"Maybe it's the feces in the monster's belly, keeping warm under the ashes?" As soon as Sisina finished speaking, Mom swung his fist at her, telling her to shut up.
Kelie waved his hand, "Feiqi, did you notice anything unusual besides the sand?"
Feige shook his head. The sand was covered in a thick layer of ash on the surface and ash underneath, so it could really be the remains of something in the monster's belly, as Sisina said. Since no one had ever seen this kind of five-colored five-headed monster before, and it was not recorded in any book, it was not unusual to find any abnormalities on the monster.
"Maybe the monster has some unknown trait? So shall we stay here for a while and do some research, or shall we go to the Land of Light?"
It's clear that everyone is choosing to move on. So they walked cautiously on the ridge, supporting each other to leap over the chasm, and moving forward in the wind-blown snow. By dusk that day, they had finally arrived at their destination.
The bright red and blue light came from a valley and shot out from the bottom up, forming a curtain of light on a ridge that blocked everyone. Staring directly at the light curtain, you can't see anything in the valley at all. And Feige is not holding the cat teasing stick, although it is not affected by the light curtain, there is nothing suspicious in the valley. There was nothing but snow in the valley, and the empty, quiet atmosphere gave Feige an eerie feeling.
Sisina grabbed a handful of snow from the ground, pinched it into a snowball, and threw it at the red-blue light. The snowball flew straight over and shattered into pieces in the valley opposite. "After a long time, is this just a glow?" Silkina shook her head, and walked towards the light curtain. "Mom came over and saw if the rocks on the ground were glowing?"
"It's better not to ...... directly Forget it, when I didn't say it. Fitch wanted to stop it, but it was fine for Silkna to pass through the light curtain. She got to the other side, then crouched down and began to clear the snow from the ground. The light source obviously comes from under the snow, but why it transmits and why the snow doesn't illuminate is a mystery.
Everyone joins in shoveling snow and digging, while Feige continues to detect magic in the same place. He closed his eyes and carefully felt and analyzed the mana fluctuations and runes in the light, but when he opened them, he found that the other four were all gone. Not only that, but even the snow pit they had just dug was gone.
"Giles, Kyle, Sisina, Mohm, where are you, it's not funny!" Fitch shook his hand vigorously, and a wave of fire formed in front of him and continued to advance, sweeping across both sides of the ridge. If there is something hidden, it should also be visible under this rolling wave of fire. However, nothing else happened except that the snow turned into water and then froze into ice.
"What did they do and I didn't?" Fitch couldn't let his comrades disappear without explanation, so he armed himself with spells, then walked through the light curtain with a cat-teasing stick and dug in the snow. His muscles tensed all over, and the global vision of Eagle Eye meditation looked around vigilantly. At this moment, he felt that the things around him began to distort, the white snow turned into a yellow kill, and in an instant, he found himself suddenly appearing on a huge sand dune and began to slide down at high speed.
The sand beneath his ass was rough and hot, pounding against Feige's body like a hot knife. He quickly put his hand in the sand and slowed down, when he heard Kylie's voice from below: "Look, Feige is here too! Here, there's solid ground here!"
Feiqi looked closely, and saw that about two hundred meters below the left front was a stone platform jutting out of the slope of the dunes, where several people had disappeared before. Giles lifted the crossbow, Keree stuffed the special bolt, and Sisina hung the rope. With only two thuds and two buzzing sounds, the bolt flew over with a string and stuck it in the place where Feige was going to pass underneath.
With her hands in front of her mouth in the shape of a trumpet, she shouted loudly, "If you tilt your body, you can change direction!
There's no rope to be on for Feige, and there's no need to bend over. He cast his magic, burrowing earth elemental tentacles out of the sand, then tugging and hooking him, throwing him in the direction of the platform while controlling his speed.
"Slow down, don't fall out. Mom reached out and grabbed Fitch by the hand. "Huh, at least we're all still together. Apparently this isn't our world anymore, don't you say, Feige?"
It's clear indeed.
Even after a trip to the seventh floor of Hell, Feige has to say that he has never seen such a strange place. From a closer distance, the sand slope that everyone had slid down appeared out of thin air from a thousand meters away, rolled and slid down, and disappeared into the rolling river more than a thousand meters away. The river meandered forward, raging and rushing, defying gravity and turning left and right. The river passed through the banks, some of which were just above Feige's head, twisting and twisting like a kaleidoscope.
"Overhead is an enclosed space, and the land and rivers are circulating, except that the sand doesn't know how to appear and disappear. The only place that looks like an exit is this platform. Mom said, gesturing behind him.
Viewed from the sand slope, this platform stands out. But from the platform, it is a tunnel exit that "penetrates" the sand, but the roof is not visible because of the sand. The platform and the passages it connects to are made of huge square stones, covered with wind erosion scars, full of the vicissitudes of time. If you look closely, you will find in the stone many fragments of shells crushed into fine slag, a very old "concrete brick", a similar technique was used in the construction of the pyramids.
The passage is deep and dark, and it turns to the right after going forward for more than 50 meters. There is a bright light coming from the end of the passage, illuminating the corner, so everyone can see it clearly. A relief with thick rings of different sizes representing eyes, mouth, ** and navel, outlining the body with thin lines, is on the corner wall. It raised its hands at either side of its head while pointing to the other side of the corner, as if to tell the crowd that they should go that way.
"Any thoughts?" Silkina asked Feige, "Can your teleportation spell send us out?"
"No, I can't. I don't know where this is, so there are no precise coordinates. If you forcibly teleport, seventy percent of them may get lost in the teleportation process, or die outright. It's best not to try that unless you have to. Feige stood on the platform, looking at the enclosed kaleidoscope area, and then at the deep passageway, and pondered for a moment. "I want us to go through the passage. Well, I don't think it's better for us to do the opposite. ”
Giles smiled slightly, and Kyle nodded, "Now, I'm teaching well, right? It's clear that Feige hasn't forgotten the Monster Hunter's ways." Where we came from, at least we had to see if we could get out the same way, so we didn't enter the passage. Can you use your dirt tentacles to go up the sand slope?"
"It's not hard. Feige raised the cat teasing stick and tapped it on the ground, and the earth elemental tentacles protruded from the sand. They form two rows symmetrically, and then the corresponding tentacles on the left and right lie down and entangle with each other, thus forming a staircase that stretches upward. Feige walked up steadily, then used his hands and feet to start climbing up.
The sand around them kept sliding downward, but the earth elemental tentacles didn't move. Feige climbed and observed the situation. He suddenly had an idea, and asked, "Mom, is the sand and dirt here real?"
"Wait, I haven't tried it yet. Mohm stopped on the tentacle ladder and took off his gloves and reached into the dirt. He immediately frowned, with an incredulous expression on his face: "It's not sand, but it's the same thing you found from the monster wreckage!"
As soon as the words fell, the change was abrupt, and there were "woo...... Woo...... Knock knock knock". "Damn, what the hell is this?" Mom threw away the sand in his hand, then looked in all directions, "I swear by the blood of the dwarves, there must be something strange here!"
"Nonsense!" Sisina drew her weapon, just like everyone else. The sound of the knock continued, getting louder and louder, and seemed to get closer and closer. The voice was erratic, sometimes even like it sounded in the heart. Feiqi used the magic seal, giving divine grace one by one, and strengthening his armor one by one, which also brought him to the middle of the team. At this moment, there was a loud bang, and a large hole suddenly exploded on the sandy slope, and a group of ugly and strange little creatures jumped out of it, which was a little more than half a meter tall, bare, and had been squeezed and irregularly with fierce slit-like eyes. They are small, shriveled and thin, with short and powerful legs and large, flat feet that allow them to walk freely on the sand. These guys with slender arms, serrated daggers held high, and slashed at the people on the ladder with their teeth and claws.
"Melee!" Giles slammed his crossbow behind his back, drawing his longsword and shortsword. There were about thirty small monsters that jumped out of the hole in an instant, and they were still coming out one after another, and this overwhelming number would quickly consume everyone's crossbow arrows. Therefore, if you want to win, you will be more likely to use melee weapons.
"I'll go first!" Feige waved his cat teasing stick, and a wave of fire pushed flat towards the monsters, crashing head-on. The little monsters rushed out of the waves of fire, burned all over their bodies, howling and rolling on the sandy slopes, crashing into each other and rolling together. However, there were still more little monsters that rushed out, pounced directly on the waves of fire, and then pounced fiercely with the flames.
"Alright, Feige, keep lighting the fire!
After breaking through the barrier formed by the fire wave, the number of monsters had dropped by more than half, and the monster hunters had raised their weapons and stood on the earth elemental ladder. "Here they are!" Kellie flicked his wrist, and his sword flicked to the longest, and he slammed it with all his strength. The little monsters jumped vertically, then loaded with blades, and were cut off or severely injured. Red blood flew out, wails and frantic battle cries mingling together.
"All-round vision, improve the efficiency of your movements!" said Kyrie, wielding his sword and sword, as he shouted the Monster Hunter's combat precautions. "Breathe, pay attention to your breathing! There are only three steps forward and backward! Do a good job of assisting, cover each other, and pay attention to communication!"
Feiqi maintains the Earth Elemental Tentacle Rope Ladder, unleashes fire waves, and provides mana for Eagle Eye Meditation and the Magic Seal. If he continues like this, it won't be long before his combat efficiency decreases and his spell changes become flawed. He used his brain quickly, then slammed out the wave of fire, saving up mana and throwing it into the Earth Elemental Binding Spell.
"Get up!" Fitch raised his hand, and ten earth elemental tentacles reached out from the edge of the bunker where the monster had emerged. "Collapse!" he shouted, and the tentacles began to slap the sand on the side of the passage, pouring a flood of sand into the cavern, blocking the little monsters inside.
"Well done, Feige!" said Mohm, when he heard two explosions in succession. It's the same big hole again, and it's a myriad of little monsters, and this time one hole is above, and one is on the other side of the rope ladder. Sisina slashed the two little monsters with her scimitar and yelled at Mohm, "Shut up, you guy! I'm out of luck when you open your mouth!"
"What does this have to do with me?" Mum muttered before another explosion was heard. This time it wasn't many small monsters that came out, but a huge one, an enlarged version of the little monster, at least three meters tall, with pale skin wrapped around a strong body, and a stubby neck topped by an ugly head full of scars. It was covered in black chain mail from head to toe, and the little monsters gathered behind him and shouted for it to show its might. It wielded a large spear in its hand, its tongue bright red, and its eyes as black as charcoal. Feige glared, and it glared back, which aroused Feige's great interest.
As a result, Feige pulled out the Pit Excalibur in his left hand, flicking his wrist to lengthen it, and at the same time began to use the ranged ability of the Desire. The weapons of the Lust Demon are all directly created using the power of hell, including their arrows. On the battlefield of Hell, the arrows of the Lust Demon are infinite, and after leaving Hell, the arrows are related to their mana, but they are still cheap. As soon as Feiqi flicked the sword, a bolt of thunder shot out, instantly hitting the eyes of the huge monster. Red blood and other off-white fluids flowed down, and the monster covered its face in pain, then let out a roar of rage and threw the spear in its hand at Feiqi.
Only one eye seriously affected the target, and Feige didn't need to dodge at all, the spear was crooked to the point that it was unbearable to look at. But this action seemed to suddenly inspire the little monsters, who chirped and threw their daggers at the crowd.
"Wind Dragon!" Giles suddenly raised his left hand and activated his seal. A wall of wind suddenly appeared, encircling the crowd and flowing downward. The daggers that flew from all directions landed quickly in the strong wind, and even those that could fly became crooked. Everyone used the weapons in their hands to block the scattered daggers, and then continued to slash and slash the small monsters in close proximity.
Feige threw out another bolt of lightning, and the next, and another, and so on! His lightning bolts weren't very powerful, but they were fast and accurate, and the cost was so low that he estimated that he could fire them like this all day. He tried to improve his mana, and sure enough, he was able to shoot more powerful lightning, but it was not as cost-effective as using lightning magic directly. Therefore, the most suitable is the ultra-labor-saving small lightning.
The lightning struck the big monster without exception, and it carried it all down with its rough skin and thick flesh, and it was wounded, and its chain mail and flesh were in tatters. Since the weapon in its hand had already been thrown by itself, the monster made a crazy move in a fit of rage: it used itself as a siege engine, and rushed straight down the high slope, preparing to crash all the way down the earth elemental rope ladder!
Fitch suddenly put a greasy spell on the spot where it had stood.
The monster slipped, tumbled and dashed to the side, then rolled down the sand slope with a scream, sending up puffs of smoke and dust. Kailie breathed a sigh of relief, he had just prepared to use his spear and sword as a counter-charge spear, and now it didn't seem necessary. "Well done, Feige!"
Before Mohm could finish speaking, and before Ssina could even take the time to glare at him, more explosions appeared. This time, not only on the sandy slopes, but also in the rest of this strange space, there were open holes everywhere, and there were small monsters and giant monsters everywhere, and the number was already too many to count. Seeing this, Mohm immediately closed his mouth and bit his upper and lower lips with his teeth, indicating that he would never speak again.
"Retreat! Go to the cave at once!" said Kele, and with a wave of his hand, the group began to rush down the earth elemental staircase. Obviously, the number of monsters has seriously exceeded the ability of everyone to deal with it, and even as long as they throw the weapons in their hands, they will form an overwhelming rain of sharp blades, and everyone except Feige will die.
Running fast even if you fight hard, using mobility to maintain distance and using long-range attacks are the biggest characteristics of the Eagle School. As soon as they said retreat, everyone would never fight, and jumped forward on the earth elemental ladder as fast as possible.
The monsters swarmed up, trying to close to the center like a tidal wave. Mom raised the seal and slapped it on the ground, and though he wanted to call out the name of the move, he held back! Many little monsters were lifted into the air, and there were squeaks and screams everywhere.
"Ten thousand needles!" Sisina flickered, and the tiny objects around her were attracted—in this case, countless sands—and then shot out like a rain of rain and dust, blasting a death tunnel directly in front of her. Feige immediately shot two thick bolts of lightning, cementing the space that had just been cleared, at least they wouldn't be stuck outside the tunnel.
"Throw them!" "Throw them to death!" The big monster that had been rolling on the sand slope reappeared, seemingly rushing down the slope and then directly back to the top of the sand slope. Its hatred for Feige is the strongest, and it gives orders while trying to regain its physical balance. The little monsters immediately began to throw, and even the big monsters joined in, daggers mixed with spears, colliding in the air, drawing strange arcs, and flying towards the group.
"Hold your head, see your luck, stop or die!" Kelley was the first to rush to the platform, but instead of going in, he swung his long spear and sword, constantly flicking the flying throwing weapons. Sisina was the second, she didn't use a spear and sword and therefore didn't have that much of a block range, but she didn't go straight in either. At this time, she couldn't worry about the consumption of weapons, and Sisina grabbed the collar and pulled her clothes downward, revealing the dense throwing knives on the inside of the leather armor, the outside of the underwear, and the belt. Whoever dares to approach will be greeted by throwing knives, so that Kelie can concentrate on blocking the dagger rain at the mouth of the cave.
Giles was the third, and without saying a word, he jumped in, squinted at the situation, and then silently removed the heavy crossbow. He now regretted leaving the bridge crossbow outside, but it had been determined that there was no need to build another bridge, so it was necessary to reduce the load.
He opened the seal. Giles's sigil has no attack power, it is purely used to aid aiming, and his targets are those giant monster bosses. Shooting from inside the hole requires not only the enemy's next move, the effects of wind and gravity, but also the movement of the crossbow through the rotating spear and sword. This requires complex calculations and a deep understanding of one's own companion's attacking habits.
Then everyone heard a "buzz" sound, and Giles made a move. The first blow hit the enemy in the eye, and it went straight to the brain, but Giles frowned at the desperate enemy and expressed dissatisfaction. The eerie environment outside caused an eerie gravity, which made his crossbow more difficult to control than usual - he was aiming for the other eye. However, he quickly adjusted, still shooting in the eye, or shooting in the center of the eyebrow, in short, getting closer and closer to the position he was aiming at in his heart.
As the three of them reached the cave platform, the pressure outside increased dramatically, and a dagger finally broke through the armor protection reinforced by the Law Force, and stabbed Mohm's ankle, causing him to fall directly off the earth elemental staircase with his balance, and the sliding sand slope carried him towards a large group of enemies. The monsters raised their daggers one after another, and Mom was greeted by a dismemberment. At this point, a rope of air elementals grabbed Mohm, and Feige stood on the stairs and threw him violently towards the platform.
Feige only stopped for less than two seconds, and was hit by more than a dozen attacks on his body - these monsters hit fixed targets at least dozens of times more than moving targets! Mohm let out an exclamation, he almost foresaw the next scene of Feige falling to the ground badly injured and then being overwhelmed by the enemy. As a result, Feige just shook his body, shook off most of his daggers and spears, and still had several enemy weapons hanging from his body, and continued to charge down as if nothing happened.
Mohm was grabbed by Giles and thrown into the passage. "Deal with it!" Giles still cherished his words as he picked up his crossbow and fired again. After a few seconds, Feige finally rushed in, and immediately tapped the ground with his cat-teasing stick, and earth elemental tentacles protruded from the edges of the hole to the middle, as if closing the door. At the same time, countless pieces of sand fell from above, flooding the hole with tentacles. Only two spears passed through the sand curtain, but there was little strength. The monsters were digging hard in the sand outside, but the earth elemental tentacles kept carrying the sand over, and they had time to get busy.
"Feiqi, are you alright?" Sisina hurriedly asked, "I see you've hit a lot!"
"It's okay, my armor is good, they didn't wear through. And I have a good character, but no one hit me in the head. Feige explained with a smile. In fact, the weapons pierced his bear coat, which was only clothing, not armor. But his wings are inside, and his defense is stronger than that of his whole body armor, and ordinary weapons can't penetrate it at all.
But one thing Fitch didn't say was that a javelin did hit him in the back of the head. The monster who threw this shot must have been very disappointed, because Lust Feiqi has armor on every skin on his body, and it can't be a miracle without enough force. Fei Qi felt that it was better not to talk about this kind of superhuman thing, there was no need to waste time. He scratched the part that had been hit, and although it was indeed thick, he always felt that the force of the blow was still too small......
