Will stood up, feeling the roots of his thighs tingle, sore, and swollen. "You still have to exercise regularly, so you can run a few steps to the limit." It is not a good habit to lie down and sleep without resting after strenuous exercise.

Ollie, who was beside him, followed the example of Weir, patted his face with water, and stretched.

"You'll have to go so far." When I looked up, the early morning sun hit the white mist, making the whole mountain become somber.

Packing their bags, Ver and Ollie walked upward.

"Ollie, why do you say this mountain is... That's so high. "Step by step, the thinner and thinner air makes it more difficult for Veel to breathe." Moreover, after we passed through the clouds, we couldn't see below at all. ”

Weel hadn't forgotten that he had explored the terrain in the first place, so halfway up the mountain, Weel looked down. "Well, I can't see it at all. But we still have to get to this point. ”

After repeated and exhausting climbing, Veel, with his head on his head, reached the top of the mountain at noon.

The sun was shining on the top of the mountain, and there was no cloud to obstruct it, and Vere once again felt the warmth of direct sunlight, and once again saw the world full of sunlight.

Walking up the stairs, Weir lay on the ground gorgeously, "Ah, at last we have reached the top of the mountain. Behind him, Ollie's ears and tail dragged on the ground, and his limbs fell limply to the ground.

At the top of the hill was a platform where grass grew on the ground, and in addition to where Wiel had come, there was another gap in the front right from which to go down from the top of the mountain.

Surrounded by craggy rocks, the flat land at the top of the hill enclosed it, and in the middle of the flat land, Wiel saw a huge stone formation.

Weir slowed his strength, stood up, walked to the vicinity of the stone henge, and touched the stone of the stone henge with his hand, the broken stone pillar was warm to the touch in the sunlight, and the hard stone was white and smooth.

On the ground in the center of the stone henge, Weir found that the cracks in the stone slabs on the ground converged into a huge pattern. Following the lines, Veel walked towards the place where the lines gathered.

In the very center of the mountaintop, in the center of the stone henge, Wiel found a small stone platform with a huge stone arch, and the lines of the ground gathered on the stone pillars, on which were carved with elaborate runes.

Unlike the other stone pillars around it, which have become so old with age, the stone arches in front of you are not covered with fresh grass and flowers, and they are as clean as new, exuding a milky white glow.

Ver went from one side of the door to the other, and from the other side of the door through the door to this side. From under the door, from the side, carefully scrutinize, knock with your hands, kick with your feet, and ......

Carefully and carefully study the secrets of the stone gate.

Ollie crouched there, licking his front paws, then straightening his ears and smoothing out some of the messy hairs on them.

Looking at Weier, who was scurrying back and forth in front of the stone gate, he blinked and walked towards the mountain path on the other side.

"This stone gate is so new, there must be something wrong." Weir pinched his chin, measured the stone pillar in front of him with his hand, and then touched the lines on the pillar with his hand.

"It's just an ordinary groove, how should this stone door be used? Well, who pushed me? ”

Ver turned his head and saw that Aure's back was on his feet, his paws on the ground forward, and he was pushing Ver backwards in an effort.

Lifted Ollie up and held it up in front of his eyes, "Something?" ”

Au's front paws kept pointing in one direction. Vere turned his head to look in the direction of his imaginary finger.

"Is there anything there?"

"Whew~!" Ollie felt uncomfortable and struggled hard, and Ver lowered it to the ground.

Brushing the scratched hair on his neck with his hind legs, Ollie yelled at Vere and ran in the direction he had pointed.

"What's here?"

Vere saw it standing on a pile of stones, which were all over the ground, and this pile was only the larger of them.

"Is there anything special here?"

Ollie looked at Will, "Whoa, whoa—" and then stood up, struggling to lift a small stone with his two front paws, and tossed it aside.

"Is there something down here?" Ver frowned, realizing that things were not simple.

So this manual work was left to Veel, who moved the large stones away and swept the small ones aside. A strange wooden stick appeared in front of Weiel's eyes.

The stick had a square head and a sinuous body, and its dark color seemed to absorb all the colors around it. "It's strange, what is this, how can it be in this pile of rocks?"

Will picked up the stick, it was cold to the touch, like a piece of iron, but the wooden lines and the feeling of striking on the stone did not feel like metal, and Wille looked at it in the sunlight, and it was still a dark color.

"This is? What's going on? Vel's right hand suddenly lit up, no, it was the rune in his hand that lit up.

"What is this?" There was a red swirl on the bulge at the front of the stick, which came into Will's sight.

Bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger, the red whirlpool turned more and more sharply, and in Weiel's vision, the whirlpool rushed out of the wooden stick in his hand and engulfed itself.

Veel blocked with his hand and felt nothing, but when he lowered his arm, everything around him changed.

The sky at the top of the mountain in front of him turned into a huge red whirlpool, and around the whirlpool, strange lightning snakes shuttled, thunder roared, and drummed into Will's hearing.

Willow stood up in surprise, still clutching the stick in his hand. The red vortex in the sky slowly swirled and expanded, spreading out around the top of the mountain in a rolling motion.

Cold sweat flowed down, and Weier raised the wooden stick in his hand, "This, what is this?" Is it the end of the world? The light on the back of his hand grew brighter and brighter.

At this time, Weier recovered a little from the surprise of the change in the color of heaven and earth, "I seem to have done something that I shouldn't have done!" Oh no, what to do? ”

Will wanted to throw the stick in his hand to the ground, but the thing was stuck to Wiel's hand and could not be shaken off.

"Stop! Go down...... If you can't take it down, stop! Ver shook his hands vigorously and kicked the stick down with his feet. But none of them are of much use.

……

Ollie looked at Will, who had been sitting there in a daze since he had picked up the stick, his eyes glazed.

Walking to Weiel's side, Ao used his front paws to gently pat Weiel's thigh, who was sitting cross-legged, "Huh~?" Wiel's hollow eyes were fixed on one end of the stick.

Ollie stood on Wille's lap and slapped Will's face again, but Wer still didn't respond. "Whoa, whoa." Ollie noticed that something was wrong and cried out eagerly.

At that moment, the back of the hand that Weir was holding the stick lit up with a dazzling light.

……

"Damn, shit! Why can't you shake it off......" The light on the back of his hand grew brighter and brighter, and a tingling sensation came from Weiel's mind. There was a blackness in front of my eyes.

Throwing himself at the surrounding rock wall, Wille suddenly found that his gaze could see through the rocks and obstacles and see the scenery in the distance.

Vere had never felt that his vision was so good, and at the top of the mountain, after just a sweep, he knew that he was on an irregular, long, isolated island. It's just that Wille doesn't have time to wonder, except for the beach, it is not as high as the island should be, and this feels like the whole island has been broken and cut out of something.

And the ocean around the island is thick with fog.

In addition to the stinging pain in his head, there were also bursts of pain in his hands, bright runes, and sticks stuck to his hands, which made Weir's eyes begin to be bloodshot, and he held his forehead with one hand, and Weir's right hand was also on the stone wall, and the pain made Weir lower his head.

Weier's eyes opened suddenly, and bright red blood appeared in the whites of his eyes, but the surprise in his pupils could not be suppressed.

Wiel's perspective passed through the clouds, through the mountains, through the woodlands, through the ground and the darkness, and under a dark red sky, he saw a look full of greed and lust.

How to describe the joy and greed in those eyes?

The massive body hunched to the ground, its front chela larger and longer than the doorposts of the stone arches. Its body is enough to reach hundreds of withered spiders, and the white silk cocoons on its back have piled up a small mountain on it.

But in Will's sight, there was only its greed, and Wille clearly heard a voice, hoarse, terrifying, eager, "Light, found you, eat... Eat! Eat!! The two pincers on his mouth were about to pounce on Vere.

Vere only felt that the distance between them had turned into nothingness, as if in the next moment, the monster, the monster hidden deep underground, was about to bite Vere.

"Ah!! ～”

Will came back to his senses, a sharp pain in his hand, and the stick rolled to the ground with a grunt.

Quickly put your right hand in front of you, "Spider!" Then Wille noticed a white figure hanging from his right hand, "Ollie?!" …… It hurts! Loosen your mouth! ”

Big eyes blinked, Ollie stopped biting Will's hand, and with a light turn, Ollie jumped to the ground.

"Huh?" Wille came back to his senses, stood up and looked at the sky, which was blue and the sun was just right.

No perspective, no dark red swirls, no apocalyptic visions, no ...... Will looked at the ground, but a feeling of unease welled up in his heart. "In the woodland, there's a monster!"

Will turned his head to look at the wooden stick on the ground, and grabbed it with his bandaged hand, Weir closed his eyes, and then opened them carefully, there was no change around him, except for the texture and hardness of the hand, it was just a strangely shaped wooden stick.

"It's ...... What's going on? ”
