"Big brother! Big brother, where are you? ”

At the entrance to a cavern shrouded in thick fog, a panting figure suddenly rushed out in a strange posture and fell into the cavern after a few stumbles. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Whew, whew, I'm tired...... Eldest brother! Hey? ”

Twisting his body, Duan Qing, who was sitting on the ground, glanced back and forth at the inside of the cave a few times, but did not see the familiar figure of the black-armored man.

"It's not going to wait in the cave......

"If it were me, I wouldn't have waited inside." In a flash of blue light, a black shadow appeared again in the dense fog behind him, accompanied by the voice of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice: "Don't forget, there is a corpse inside." ”

"I wish he had gone in and waited."

After confirming the surrounding situation and finding that there was indeed no sign of human activity, Duan Qing slowly got up from the ground: "If he is not here, then it is possible...... Really went to find us."

"Just like he was badly injured...... It's not fun at all. ”

The last Yate finally passed through the clouds and mist in a strange posture, and fell to the ground like Duan Qing before, and the woman in the black cloak put away the water stone in her hand and followed Duan Qing's footsteps into the cave where they appeared at the beginning. But before she could check the situation here, a burst of white light suddenly lit up next to a stone pillar at the entrance of the cave.

"Yo, you're back."

Art, who fell to the ground, involuntarily covered his eyes because of the strong light, and it was only after the white light faded that he saw the familiar figure belonging to the black-armored man behind the stone pillar.

"It's scared to death!" Duan Qing, who had already walked to the front, immediately turned around and shouted, "I thought that you were also teleported, big brother......"

"Labor and management are not stupid! Labor and management are just offline...... No, just hide behind the rocks and rest for a while. The black-armored man, who maintained a sitting posture, grinned absently: "I also ate something in the middle and went to the toilet......

"Stop, stop...... How are your injuries? ”

"I guess it's about the same." After checking the system's prompts, Nan Tieshan muttered in a low voice, "Why is it still not good...... What time is it? ”

"How do we know about this kind of ghost place...... Anyway, it should still be daytime. ”

"Anyway, why did it take you so long to come back? What did you all do? ”

"I fought with others below, chatted with old friends for a while, and then began to walk through this labyrinth......" Pointing to the thick clouds and mist on the periphery of the cave, Duan Qing sighed and said: "Damn, you don't know how perverted this fog is, those rays of light that dare not touch it are piercing through the air, like sewing clothes, and my waist hurts until now......"

In the inexplicable eyes of the big man, several people briefly explained some of the things that happened at the mountain pass during the previous period, which made this big man who regarded himself as a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes sigh.

"I didn't expect that the fight that was fought in the dark would have an afterword." Dahan looked unhappy, and he didn't know if he was angry because he was approached by the other party, or because he was lost because he didn't catch up with the fight: "They are still looking for revenge...... But hearing you say that, I'm interested in their captain. ”

"A guy I know from the novice village, a very nice guy." Looking at each other's appearances, Duan Qing forcibly held back his smile: "You two ...... It should fit well. ”

"Really?" Dahan touched his chin: "Since you respect him so much, you should pull him to our Iron Fist Gang if you have a chance......

"Impossible, people are now members of Dawn Glory." Xue Lingphantom Ice said coldly on the side.

"I'm so afraid, my husband is not afraid of death, let alone digging a corner......"

"He's one of the more active members of the Glory Guild, so you're so blatantly digging for fear of being told what to do?" The woman said with some amusement, "That's the Glory Guild." ”

"Dawn of glory? It sounds like a familiar name......"

"It's the glory before, the one that split up later." Duan Qing explained: "If you have a chance, big brother can go and check it, but don't think about these things now." ”

He walked to the entrance of the cave: "It's not early, shouldn't we go?" ”

"Go? Where to go? ”

"Of course it'......" Duan Qing stretched out his finger and pointed to the top of his head: "Go on." ”

"You ...... Already figured out the secrets of this cloud? Dahan asked in surprise.

"Otherwise, how would we have come back?" Duan Qing pointed to the black-cloaked woman beside him: "In the end, I have to thank that mysterious merchant, the stone she sold her made a big difference, so ......"

"Now she's the boss."

"What do you mean?" Nan Tieshan stood up a little impatiently, and then grinned for a while because of the pain in his body: "Which stone?" Explain it to me......"

“...... It's complicated, so you might as well go out and see for yourself. ”

Looking at the figures of the two people walking outside one after the other, looking at the sky that was gradually getting darker, Duan Qing shook his head helplessly, and then patted Yat's shoulder.

"See, that's what adventurers are like."

****************

The road to the top of the mountain became narrower and narrower, and this was also the result of seeing the real scene after Duan Qing and his party had a way to dispel the fog - as they moved forward, the two sides of the road began to converge towards the middle, and with the flow of clouds and mist, the scenes on both sides were gradually revealed.

There's no way to see below...... Cliff.

A few people who didn't want to try what it would be like to fall from here just probed the width of the mountain path and retracted their bodies, and then continued to focus on safely passing through the barrier left by the magic patterns. And as the area shrinks, the thorns formed by these strange magic patterns become more complex and more difficult for people to pass through. Faint rays of light swept across their path like infrared, and some of them were even constantly refracting and twisting, forming an insurmountable three-dimensional scene. Moreover, in the process of slowly crawling through, they had to always pay attention to their feet, and Duan Qing even noticed a small spot in the open space in front of them in the process of climbing over the light.

"Pay attention." So he pointed to the area: "Don't step on this point." ”

"Will such a small thing also trigger the mechanism?" Since he didn't know much about the so-called principle, the black-armored man simply called these magic patterns by mechanism: "Have you tried to touch it, what would be the reaction?" ”

"We've only tried it with objects." Putting back his strange sumo-like posture, Duan Qing, who had already turned over, measured the spacing of the rays in front of him, and then began to pose the next suitable pose: "Although it is possible, not every ray of these rays will work, but ...... No one can be sure of this. ”

"We don't have magicians and can't understand these things, so we have to use this stupid method." He slowly stretched out his right foot: "No way to touch any magic pattern." ”

"It's stupid." Nan Tieshan looked up and down at his surroundings: "Especially for a tall ...... like me."

"Poof."

The woman in the back couldn't help but laugh: "You can think about it...... Weight loss. ”

"What kind of fat to lose, labor and management are all muscles!" Nan Tieshan shouted hatefully, and then bent down again with a black face: "It's a pity that labor and management practice is an internal boxing method, and this body can't turn around...... Ouch. ”

Enduring the pain that still carried on his body, he cautiously turned over the warning area that Duan Qing had just turned over, and then stopped his movements again: "This kind of work, it's really hard for me...... Ay? ”

He leaned down to look at his feet, "You guys...... Didn't you notice that thing? ”

"What?" Duan Qing in front looked back at Nantie Mountain, and then followed his gaze and found a crack on the mountain on the left: "This, isn't it normal for some stone cracks to appear on the mountain......

"Have you forgotten that crack in the cliff when we came? There's a good chance this is another secret entrance! ”

"The likelihood is already low." Duan Qing shook his head: "We have been climbing up in circles, and now not only is the road getting narrower and narrower, but the road we are detouring is also getting shorter and shorter. ”

He looked at the others, and there was a glint in his eyes: "This shows ...... We're pretty close to that finish line. ”

The eyes of the others looking at Duan Qing also revealed a light of hope.

"We've been going around counterclockwise, and from what we can see, it's a cliff on the right, and I can't confirm it, but I don't think anyone wants to really try it." Duan Qing, who continued to explore the path, turned around and began to look for the next foothold: "And the mountain on our left should be much smaller than the place we climbed up before, don't forget that we also took an elevator, and I don't know how many ...... we have raised in the middle."

He leaned down to the ground, carefully avoiding the carvings on both sides, and then crawled under a ray of light: "So those cracks or something, eighty percent are just ordinary cracks, don't care, if you have to guess, you might as well think about it...... How did that body come about? ”

The other three people reacted for a while, and then they understood what Duan Qing was referring to. Xue Lingphantom Ice shook the sword in his hand, and said in a somewhat low voice: "Yes, if this mist is of this structure, then the people of Yate ......"

"How did you die in that cave?"

"Or how did he get to this place." Nan Tieshan continued the woman's words: "We have ruled out the possibility of an elevator before, and it ......"

He looked at Art with a sad face: "I don't believe that you people will understand how to pass through this fog. ”

"I, I ......"

The young men of the Norsr tribe waved their hands in a bit of confusion - along the way, Art was noticeably less silent than before. Probably stimulated by seeing the death of his clansmen with his own eyes, he was no longer interested in asking about the series of things that Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Bing dragged him through later, and just silently followed behind everyone. When he was suddenly asked at this time, he still looked lost and depressed without reacting: "I, I don't know ......"

"It's normal for a guy like the Nosr tribe to live in the deep mountains and old forests and not understand anything."

Nan Tieshan shook his head: "Boy, study hard, and become an adventurer in the future...... You are definitely better than your people. ”

The young man lowered his head and didn't answer, but Duan Qing in front of him suddenly shouted, "Hey, there's a situation here." ”

The rest of the people followed the prestige, only to see the figure of the man still lying on the ground: "What's wrong?" ”

"Here's ...... There is something. ”

I saw Duan Qing lying on a gap in the ground in front of him, stretching out his head to look inside. The people behind crossed the rays of light with their hands and feet, and finally came to Duan Qing's side: "Tell me quickly, what's inside?" ”

"It's like a ...... Bones. Clapping his hands, Duan Qing slowly stood up.

"There are dead people in this place, too?" Snow Spirit Phantom Ice and Nantie Mountain looked at Yat in unison: "Another person from the Norsr clan? ”

"I don't know."

Without waiting for Yate to respond, Duan Qing, who was thinking with his head down, preemptively explained: "I guess he won't be able to recognize anything if he looks at it, because ......"

"There are only bones left—a skeleton, quasi-group."

"A corpse from a long time ago?" Snow Spirit Phantom Ice asked, "How long?" Could it be a thousand years ago......"

"Hey, I'm not a medical examiner, how can I see that...... Still, the fact that someone came here a long time ago is certain. ”

"Looks like someone got ahead of us." Nan Tieshan looked unhappy again: "There is one here, maybe there are more in front." ”

"Don't worry, even if there is a pioneer, it is certainly not playing...... Adventurers are it. ”

Giving the other two a look that you and I both understand, Duan Qing continued to climb the stairs: "Whether it is the remains of a thousand years ago or the people of Yate, it doesn't mean anything to us, as for why there are remains here......

"Wait until the top of the mountain...... We may get the idea. ”

As they followed, everyone fell silent, more oppressed by their surroundings than by their previous discoveries—the clouds around them seemed to become heavier, the air seemed to move more slowly, and the light passing through the clouds began to dim due to time, a sign that the sun was about to set. But none of this was a reason for them to become silent - it wasn't long before the first bare skeleton appeared before their eyes.

The road has become narrower, and several people can't even pass side by side, holding on to the rock wall on the side of the mountain, carefully avoiding the cliff on the right and the white bones all over the ground, Duan Qing, who walked in the front, frowned, carefully identifying the scattered bones scattered on the ground, which were no longer human-shaped.

"You ......," he still had in his mind the question, "how did you get here?" ”

His left hand was empty.

The rock mass that had been holding on seemed to have reached the end on his left, Duan Qing slowly looked up, except for the surrounding clouds and mist, the mountain wall had disappeared in front of his eyes, and in its place, there was a flat ground.

Due to the range of action of the Water Stone, Duan Qing couldn't confirm how wide this ground was, but a thought in the dark told him that this black ground full of magic patterns was probably the end of this path.

"No way......" he murmured, then turned back.

"We're here."
