Act XVII: The Journey (III)

When the sun gradually sank and the sky began to appear with red fiery clouds, Avis and the others only walked half the way.

Originally, they should have walked out of the canyon a long time ago, but after a few encounters, the degree of Avis and the others slowed down irrepressibly. What could have been done in two hours took five hours. As a result, the time shifted from afternoon to dusk.

"No need to go." Ge Tongluo said suddenly, his eyes scanning the still winding canyon in front of him, and finally turned his head, "We definitely won't be able to get out of this place before dark...... Find a place to defend it, walking in the dark is too dangerous. If the place you find is hidden, you may be able to escape the pursuit of these necromancers. ”

Although Death Canyon is said to be a canyon, it is actually a large rift valley that is tens of kilometers long. It used to seem like a wide river, but it was already that way back in the days of Arcanist rule. There are many traces of the river washing around the canyon, and you can still see some small caves on the surrounding cliffs. Death Canyon is located on the edge of the Forgotten Swamp, and is the only way for the mercenary city of Pephi to reach the depths of the Forgotten Swamp. There are often business travelers passing through here, which also provides a good soil for the robbers here.

But Ives had never heard of the undead in this canyon. Because this place belongs to the territory of Vidora, and as Ge Tongluo said, it is very difficult to see the spirits of the dead in the territory of Vidora.

Ives and the others deviated from the main road, went to the side to find a somewhat secluded cave, placed the horses and carts in the deepest part of the cave, and found an easy place to defend and settle for the night's camp. After eating hard bread and agreeing on a time to take turns keeping vigil, it became dark.

"I've been wandering the realm of Vidora for so many years." Ge Tongluo looked at the slowly dimming sky in front of him, and the stars in the sky, "It's the second time I've encountered such a number of undead creatures...... Along the way, the caravans and robbers seemed to have been slaughtered. Who the hell is it? Why summon so many skeletons? ”

"Hearing you say that, you've had a massive necromantic time for a while?" Avis said curiously. Ge Tongluo nodded: "That was a year ago, a plague potion studied by a necromancer leaked, and an entire city of people became necromancy. In the end, the legendary mage Augustine directly wiped out an entire city...... I was one of the few survivors in that city. ”

"Could it be the 'Rhett City Incident'?!" Avis, who had played the game, was naturally aware of that event. The necromancer is not actually dead, and there will be other death storms in the future. Ge Tongluo nodded, with a hint of self-deprecation in his expression: "That time ruined my entire family...... My parents, my brother, and my two-year-old sister. They're all infected with corpse poison, it's me...... Personally bear out theirs. ”

Avis fell silent, he looked at Ge Tongluo, and finally patted him on the shoulder.

"What a nightmare...... "Avis" Ives said. Then he sat down beside Ge Tongluo and looked at the deep, dark sky in front of him. Both he and Ge Tongluo have the ability to see in the dark, so there's nothing wrong with not lighting a campfire at this time. Of course, Ge Tongluo's bloodline had been diluted to an extreme after all, so the visual range in the darkness was not as wide as what Avis saw.

Time passed slowly, and the moonlight gradually came into view. Avis looked at the scene in front of him—some broken stone pillars, not far away was a crumbling mountain, where humans had once built a wide avenue, but as the years passed, it was finally deserted. His gaze looked up, and he could only see a third of the sky, and the moonlight was still there. After a while, Ives seemed to see something strange.

He looked at the stars in the sky, his brow furrowing slowly. And Ge Tongluo, who saw his face change, turned his head and said curiously, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"The star." Ives raised his hand, "Isn't it getting bigger?" After hearing Avis's words, Ge Tongluo raised his head and looked at the sky. He just looked at it for a moment, and then his face slowly changed—in his sight, a dark blue thing was constantly magnifying, magnifying, magnifying...... Ge Tongluo shouted loudly without any hesitation: "Hurry up and lie down!" ”

Then he pressed Avis under him.

The back of Avis's head hit the floor, and the force of the shock made his mind dizzy. He felt a strong force from the man in front of him, and he fixed his body to the ground, unable to move at all. As soon as Ives opened his mouth and said, "......What have you done?" and then there was a roar in his ears.

Bang!!

What a terrible sound. The night was silent, and walking on this barren land, you could not hear anything except the sound of the wind. But at this time, the silence was ruthlessly broken. A terrible shaking of the ground was followed by a not very noticeable gust of wind. Then came the terrible roar. The figures of Ge Tongluo and Avis were blown away by the strong wind, rolled on the ground several times, and finally hit the stone wall. As soon as Avis opened his eyes, he saw a rock flying towards him, enlarging in front of his eyes...... Avis opened his mouth, only to see the stone flying towards his head.

At this moment, a hand appeared in Avis's sight. There was a soft 'poof' sound, and the hand began to twist unnaturally. And Ge Tongluo also snorted at the same time, gritting his teeth to death...... As soon as he looked up, he saw a cluster of light that was constantly flickering.

Avis's face changed as he looked at the ball of light.

"What kind of ...... is that" Ge Tongluo didn't see any traces of the meteorite, he just saw the place where the meteorite should have landed, and a ball of light appeared. The light seemed to have all the colors of the world, constantly alternating and changing. And the things around him have long been indistinguishable...... Avis reluctantly stood up, his face cold, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Key......"

"Huh?" Ge Tongluo looked at Avis strangely. And Ives also said with a somewhat unkind face: "How can there be a 'key' here?" It shouldn't be...... Without the approval of the gods, without the emblem of the plane, how could there be a key here......"

"Hey, what's going on?" A cold sweat appeared on Ge Tongluo's forehead. He took the bandage from his bosom and bandaged his right hand. At the same time, his face was also a little unkind. It's not that he can't use a dagger with his left hand, in fact, any of his hands with a dagger is about the same effectiveness. But the loss of a movable hand was a huge blow to him.

“key…… You can think of it as a plane gate. Stepping through this door, you can enter a new world, a ...... How far away is another plane within the universe. ”

As soon as Avis's words fell, a shrill roar was heard in the distance. Aavis turned his head, only to see a glittering light in the darkness far away. It was a trace of a divine explosion. Then, his brow furrowed slightly—he felt the magic at the same time. It's a ...... Quite a refined dark magic. Then, under the influence of that powerful magic, there was a slight noise all around. A lot of white sexist slowly appeared in Avis's sight. The skeletons, reflecting white in the moonlight, walked from a distance towards the battlefield on the other side. Avis, on the other hand, was right in the middle of the two teams.

Avis glanced back behind him. His horse was fine, but the coachman was dying. In the impact just now, a stone directly shattered his head - he didn't have a reliable teammate like Ge Tongluo. Ives didn't hesitate to put the necessary bags on his back, and Ge Tongluo, who seemed to have thought of the same thing as Avis, also stepped forward quickly and carried the food. Almost without hesitation, the two of them turned over at the same time. Avis grabbed the reins of the horse, turned his head and said to Ge Tongluo, "It seems that this is the only way......

"yes."

If the skeleton were revealed, that number of undead would be enough to bury the two of them - Ge Tongluo was already injured, and Avis had almost run out of spell slots. So the left and right are dead, it's better to fight before you die.

Aavis and Ge Tongluo took control of the horse under their crotch and charged quickly towards the colorful 'key'.

It seems to have touched something as warm as water, and all that remains in sight is a pure silvery white. The body felt weightless, as if it was about to be suspended in mid-air.

After feeling the water vapor in the space, Ives said: "There is no time, there is no zài space, and there is no end to the world ....... Here is the forbidden area of the material, the territory of the spirit, the graveyard of the gods....... Welcome to the most magical realm in the universe, the Astral Plane. ”

"What's that?" Ge Tongluo pointed ahead. There's a picture there, which is constantly zooming in. Avis laughed, "That's where we're traveling. ”

Then, the image completely swallowed the two of them.

……

I heard that someone wants to see the remnants of the catastrophic sun?

Of course, I don't know how to write about the remnants of the catastrophic sun, but I'm only going to write about a similar low-magic world. And I changed it to a mess. Because if you really write about the remnants of the sun, you can't cross the desert sages.

In addition, today's second watch, what I promised you has been done. Above.
