Act 177: Battle of the Canyon (Part I)

The wind blew like a knife across the cliffs. To read the latest chapters, please lock the biquge.info of Aishang Novels

As you penetrate deeper into the ancient isthmus, this wind through the valley becomes stronger and stronger; Strangely, the wind did not blow away the clouds, but the white fog often appeared with the strong winds, swallowing the clouds and spitting sand and rocks, making the visibility in the canyon extremely low.

This helped Brando's party avoid Andessa's tracking, but it also made trekking through the valley more difficult.

Brando clings his hand to a raised rock, the wind makes him squint, he turns around and hands it to Akane who is climbing up below.

He sent Akane to the top of the platform, then Faina, and on the other side, Veronica climbed up with the help of Mordfeth.

In the end, Brando also climbed against the wind.

"There's the legendary Storm Circle ahead, and legend has it that no one can climb over that wall made of wind," Veronica said in the wind, holding her hand in her blue sky.

She turned her head and looked at Brando with emerald eyes, "What are you going to do, little one?" ”

The female god of war of the Cruz people, although still weak, seems to be in good spirits.

Brando climbed up to the platform, where the valley split in two, and on the other side of the platform was an unfathomable ravine; The pitch-black granite broke in the middle, and the fracture was smooth and flat, as if a huge crack had been opened in the earth.

The wind continued in the direction of the rift, and the air currents weaved white lines, like ocean currents suspended in mid-air, always moving in one direction.

The Sage Hydra's lair is down there—

This spectacular sight made Brando speechless for a moment, and then he turned around and replied: "The way to get through the Storm Circle is through the Guò underground, and the druids have invested countless manpower and material resources to enter here in the past hundred years, just to find that passage." ”

"They found it?"

Brando shook his head.

"So you know?" Veronica asked, looking up at him.

"I've seen a record of an ancient document, so it should be nearby." Ancient texts habitually get shot, and Brando already has a tendency to develop this excuse into a latent fact; He glanced around, the entrance to the underground passage was beneath this bottomless rift, but it was not easy to get down.

At this time, Brando noticed that Akane was looking at his wrist with a strange expression.

He was immediately embarrassed, and couldn't help but touch the tooth marks on his wrists; But he really didn't know how to explain it - or was it not some kind of kiss?

"But, it turns out that the payment of life can't be automatically withdrawn!"

Strange to blame, Akane woke up at a clever time, and Brando had a headache, but he looked back at Mordface. That damn pseudo-shitty vampire just tilted her face to one side.

"Well...... That, going down from here," Brando clumsily changed the subject, "It looks a little difficult, I'm not sure if there's a way down." ”

"Down from here?"

It was the first time the aristocratic daughter of the Cruz had spoken since she had woken up, and she seemed to have woken up from her depression, frowning and raising her eyebrows high.

Faina glanced at the pitch-black abyss below, and her face was a little pale.

"Too, too whimsical, isn't it!?"

"For the pampered, weak and incompetent daughter, it is true."

Mordface replied quickly and at an unexpected pace.

He looked at Faina, who was glaring at him with an incredible expression, "So, please don't question the master's decision-"

"You!"

"Alright, Faina." Veronica interrupted them, "Since there are ancient texts mentioning that passage, it means that there may be a way down to find it." ”

"Sorry, but there's no such ancient text!"

Brando said inwardly.

However, he did think of a possibility, the player's strength in entering the Ring of Trade Winds was not half of his current strength, and the other party obviously couldn't climb down this cliff, which meant that there was indeed a road somewhere on this cliff.

Before that, though, Brando had drawn a card in his hand in the library of the Brigade Mage system, which was the Holy Sword.

This made him frown, he had hoped to be the Silver Pony so that he could send everyone down the valley with just three trips. Unfortunately, it backfired.

Since leaving St. Whitestone, time has almost passed three stages. However, he only won the Holy Archangel, the Golden Banner and this Holy Sword card.

Add to that his original hand, the Blood Vampire, the Wind Spider, the Holy Sword, the Fire Djinn, the Side-by-side Sprint, the Energy Drain, and the Fire Claw Trumpeter.

Among them, the Blood Vampire and the Wind Spirit Spider are still on the field, the Holy Sword was originally consumed but is now back in the hand, and the Fire Djinn has entered the graveyard during the battle with Amman, in addition to the Fireclaw Lord in the graveyard.

The energy drain was used up against the male wolf and shuffled back into the library, and both the Firepaw Trumpeter and the Spearman should still be on the field, but they should be with Antitina at the moment.

Aside from the Storm Spider, which was reset on the first night, Brando hasn't had time to untap any other cards; He had a couple of chances to reset, but missed them because he was unconscious.

"Andesa is down there." At this time, Akane suddenly whispered.

Brando was stunned when he heard this, and he looked in, and sure enough, the woman was catching up along the valley. However, it seems that the other party has not noticed them yet, the valley is very windy, and from below you can only see the wind and sand and clouds from above.

Still, Andessa's speed made Brando gasp, knowing that the woman didn't know the right path, and she was only one step behind after following them all the way here.

This strength gap is a bit outrageous.

Brando hurriedly lowered his body and gestured to the others, allowing them to lie flat on the rock. Then he turned around and whispered, "With or without a road, we have to go." ”

"That woman ......" Faina seemed to remember what had happened before, and couldn't help but shudder. Her hands were clenched tightly, and her knuckles were white before she knew it.

Brando immediately made a gesture to Mordface to pull the young lady back, and at the same time took Veronica and Akane to step back cautiously, and he gestured to the others:

"We're going to go down the cliff and see if we can find that way."

Veronica and Akane both nodded.

But what no one expected was that when Mordface helped Faina up, the latter didn't stand firm for a while as if he was scared to soften, and actually slipped down.

"Be careful!" Brando's face changed, and he let out a low sigh.

With a quick eye, Mordface grabbed Faina's ankle and left the girl hanging upside down in the air. Although the vampire puppeteer's strength was so great that the noblewoman's daughter almost burst into tears, at least she was caught before she almost slipped down.

Faina bit her lip to keep herself from screaming, and she looked up palely as she watched a stone roll down in that direction, making a sloppy noise.

Several people froze on the cliff for a while.

Brando looked in Andessa's direction with a solemn face, but fortunately, there was a strong wind in the valley, and Andrisa didn't seem to notice the change in this direction.

"Help, save me......"

The aristocratic daughter was visibly frightened, and she was carried upside down by Mordface on one foot, and her whole body dangled on the cliff. This situation is unbearable even for a man, let alone Faina has never experienced such a situation.

Looking at her like that, it was as if she was going to cry at any moment.

Brando couldn't help but glance at Veronica, he really couldn't figure out how the Imperial Goddess of War, who was known for her calmness and forethought, would bring a useless aristocratic lady.

This is still a relatively euphemistic statement, in fact, the effect that Faina has brought to Veronica so far is a negative effect.

Veronica sighed.

What could she say. This was not her idea, it was originally Ehrman's own opinion, and besides, Ehrman and Fayna were both children of a big family, and they were not her direct subordinates, so she didn't have much to say.

Brando looked at the look of the goddess of war and understood that the empire was not monolithic, otherwise such an important matter would not have sent a team to contain each other.

But that's good, at least compared to Eruin.

He nodded at Modfis, and motioned for the latter to pull the eldest lady up—though he was tempted to signal the latter to just drop it, but he was afraid that Veronica would immediately draw her sword against him if he did.

Mordface did as he was told, pulling Faina up little by little. But at this time, a few people on the platform didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and the next moment.

Brando watched dumbfounded as the short sword on Faina's belt slipped out of its scabbard—

The dagger fell slowly.

It was as if time was stretched at that moment.

Everyone saw the sword fall slowly, then crash into a protruding rock, bounce to the side, continue to fall, and then go through multiple impacts.

Finally, with a series of crisp metal crashing sounds, it was heard far away to the valley floor.

The platform was so quiet that you could barely hear a pin dropping.

Andesa stopped in the distance.

Then the woman suddenly raised her head in this direction—although she didn't see anyone on the cliff, her purple eyebrows furrowed, and she seemed to have determined the direction of Brando's group.

Countless vines instantly poured out from behind Andesa and surrounded her forward, and then the whole person turned into a dark green dragon, and suddenly the speed increased and galloped in this direction.

The rugged terrain was hardly an obstacle at Andessa's feet, and the woman walked on the steep cliffs, closing the distance between them in an instant.

"Run!" Brando's reaction was the first - he knew in his heart that Andesa had already discovered them - and if she couldn't catch the movement, then she didn't deserve to be one of the twelve patriarchs of the shepherds.

"Brando."

"Don't talk," he interrupted Veronica, "follow the original plan, run south!" ”

Brando paused, "Help me take care of Akane." ”

Veronica frowned and looked at him, and she suddenly realized that this young man might be separated from them at this time. In fact, that's exactly what Brando thought, if Andesa catches up, he's only one to find a way to lure the other away.

The Sage Hydra's lair should be nearby, and taking others with him, especially the useless eldest lady, would be a burden in such a situation.

He decided in an instant, and by this time Veronica had already dragged Akane to evacuate. Mordface also pulled Faina up, and without waiting for the latter to stand firmly, he grabbed the young lady by the arm and ran forward.

Faina's hand hurt so much that she burst into tears, but she knew she was in trouble, so she gritted her teeth and didn't dare to say anything, just staggered after her.

Brando was the last to leave, and he glanced at it from a distance, and Andesa was surprisingly fast behind him.

A few people rushed south along the platform, with the abyss on one side and the withered lord on the other, a moving danger, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer.

If it weren't for the strong wind in the canyon, I'm afraid the woman would have chased after her without distraction.

But the speed was too bad, and Brando knew that nothing good would come of chasing him like this. He turned around, unleashing the Eternal Orb and the Wind Spirit Spider, making the little things form a wall between them and Andessa.

The wind spirit spiders lined up in mid-air, as if they really formed a wall, and the wall shone with cyan light.

"Get out of the way!"

Andesa saw the cyan wall, and at first she saw that it was nothing more than ordinary wind spirit spiders, and as the patriarch of the shepherd, the withered lord of the Amber Sword, of course she knew these gadgets.

She only thought that Brando was trying to delay time with these things, so she roared angrily, and with a wave of her hand without care, countless vines stabbed like steel spears at the wall made of wind spirit spiders.

Andesa didn't do her best, but this misjudgment made her suffer a big loss in the next moment.

The next moment, the wall that shone with cyan light suddenly turned, and the cyan color was instantly replaced by gold, and the wall composed of wind spirit spiders seemed to be dyed with dazzling gold in an instant.

Then there was a flash of gold.

Countless pillars of light pierced from the wall, and these pillars of light pierced the vines released by Andessa, hitting her body in an instant. The shepherd's patriarch screamed - while the Silver Order's attack was barely enough to hurt her, it was enough to make her scramble and wolf-broomted.

Brando squandered all of the earth elementals in a matter of moments, and he ordered the Holy Sword Technique to attack without reservation. Round after round of pillars of light annoyed Andessa, but it was not so easy for her to regain the initiative when she was under attack.

And when Andesa finally managed to break free from the onslaught of the pillars of light, she was furious to find that Brando and the others had pulled away a long distance.

The withered lord of the tree herder roared angrily, as if venting, he swung a vine in his hand, and tore the formation of the Wind Spirit Spider apart with three strikes and five divisions by two.

Then she moved on.

At this time, Brando immediately sacrificed the remaining wind spirit spiders-

"Sacrifice non-black creatures to the cards, Blood Vampire."
