Chapter Fifty-Nine: Acacia

Along the way, I stopped and stopped, and spent a lot of time hunting. In the blink of an eye, they walked southeast for nearly half a year, and the two finally came to the realm of Acacia.

Once here, the most intuitive change Kane saw was the upheaval of the environment.

The sky is covered with thick black clouds, and it is difficult to see sunlight even during the day. Shocking bright purple lightning shone in the eerie clouds, and an unnatural twilight dominated the sky, an evil light that can only be seen in nightmares.

The scorched earth is covered with stone pillars as black as night, and the spine of the earth is intertwined with canine teeth, stabbing into the sky crookedly, attracting lightning from time to time, and emitting scorched smoke that has not been dispersed for thousands of years, as if God is sending divine punishment on this unclean land.

Even the air here was distorted, not a single plant could be seen, and the roots of the trunks were all hernias that had broken through the ground.

These strange things seemed to cover the world, overwhelming from top to bottom, and at the same time blooming upwards from below, creating a distorted landscape in the post-war devastated land.

As far as the eye can see, it is shocking and devastating.

He saw that every place was telling that this was a forbidden place for life.

Keisha looked at the scene, pursed her lips, and finally squeezed Kane's hand, saying nothing, and stepped into this even more bizarre world with him.

……

Kane was always unsettling because he was so conspicuous that he walked on the open ground, so they went back underground through the tunnels and continued their progress.

Kane picked a handful of soil from the ground as he came down, and found that the organic matter content of the land here had been greatly reduced after being ravaged by the Void, which had caused the land to become salinized.

In such a land, you don't want to find any more plants.

Having just arrived in Acacia from Shurima, Kane saw that the Void creatures were only ethereal spirits for the time being. At this point, there is no obvious difference between the ethereal spirits in the two places, they are both cannon fodder units piled up, and they are both to the extent that they will shatter at the touch of a finger.

Due to the dense hernia that opened up the strata, Acacia had many more passages to the surface underground than the Shurima Desert, and the land was devastated because of the ubiquity of these caverns, and the ethereal spirits often climbed to the surface through the burrows.

However, there are often thick hernias blocking the underground tunnels, causing the two to detour back to the ground from time to time, and they are unable to explore and advance underground all the way.

But the ground is not safe, and hernias that break through the ground are everywhere, and it is dangerous for them to step on them if they accidentally step on them.

Caution had to be taken at every step, which caused the two of them to slow down a lot.

At the end of another day, Kane noticed something different on the road ahead.

Although the land has always been filled with gunsmoke, the air is filled with the smell of sulfur. But it was only a thin layer that didn't have much impact on visibility, and Kane could still see the ruins of an ancient town a few kilometers away.

"Do you want to go in and have a look? Or bypass? Kane asked for Kesha's opinion.

"Father may be in there, I think it's better to go and see it, but the main thing is to listen to you." Keisha tossed aside the hair that was blocking her eyes, her expression solemn.

"Then let's go check it out."

In fact, Kane is also more inclined to go in and explore, first, to find a place to rest, and second, maybe to find some ancient relics.

If there is any threat lurking in the ruins, he can also use the consciousness network to detect and avoid it in time.

Kane could now sense the void creatures within fifty meters of him, a distance sufficient for them to flee from any void creatures known at this stage.

As long as you don't encounter Void Fear or Void Eyes, your luck won't be so bad......

Climbing over the collapsed city walls, the two entered the ruins of this unknown ancient town.

There is no trace of the Great War between the Two Realms outside the city walls, and judging from the scale, this is not the former main city of Acacia, but a small town located on the edge of the former mage realm, which was ruthlessly engulfed by the tide of the void that attacked from the direction of the main city after the outbreak of the Great War.

Kane saw that the streets and rooftops were all covered with ashes, and even though the sun was shining, the whole town still took on an unnaturally pale color.

The architecture here is similar to Shurima, and Kane even found a fallen solar disc symbol above the ruins of a temple.

It's no wonder that Acacia once existed as a vassal state of the Shurima Dynasty, and it's not surprising that the symbol of Shurima appeared.

Although the architectural style of ancient Acacia is very similar to Shurima, there are some differences when you look closely.

The walls of the house here are not made of earth and stone as a whole, but are made of bricks of earth. And the way these adobe bricks are stacked is different from what people think - the diagonal lines of the cube adobe bricks are all perpendicular to the ground, the walls are not painted, and the exposed cutting lines are very neat, which makes the whole house look like a large piece of mung bean cake that has been cut by a fishing net......

"How was this made?" Keisha pushed a brick hard, but found that she couldn't.

"Maybe it's magic, legend has it that Acacia is a country of mages." The unimaginative Kane can only explain everything by magic.

Normally, an ordinary earthen house can't withstand the grind of thousands of years, and there must be magic in it!

Yes, it's magic!

The two of them did not immediately enter the house to search, and Kane used the consciousness net to check for void creatures nearby, and confirmed that there was no threat before moving on.

They followed the alleys to the town's main road, where they saw hernias tearing through the ravines in the town.

The main road was torn open with a fissure more than five meters wide, and the exposed bedrock was covered with many intertwined gray roots, all of which had been dormant for thousands of years.

If there is no organic matter or nourishment from magic nearby, the Void will grow slower until it eventually goes into hibernation.

"Kane, look, what's that?"

Keisha was referring to an object at the end of the main road, it was unusually large, slanted into a ravine, and the outcropping was taller than a two-story hut next to it!

It's a giant bronze halberd!

The two of them recovered from the shock of the first sight, carefully avoided stepping on the ground hernia, and came to the side of the giant soldier.

"What kind of being can handle this weapon...... Keisha looked up at the giant soldier and made a sound of eating.

The bronze halberd in front of him was five meters tall just by the part that was exposed to the ground, not to mention that it was still tilted.

"The Ascendant, only the Celestial Warriors of Shurima can wield such a weapon."
