Chapter 100: The Canyon of the Dead
-Canyon of the Dead-
There used to be two highly developed ancient civilizations on the continent of Arad, and at that time, the technology of these two ancient countries was no worse than the current Dros Empire, the Duchy of Belma, and the Wudu Xuzu, and even more advanced than them. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Although there is still a lot of undeveloped land in the world, these two ancient countries believe that the other is the first obstacle that must be removed, otherwise they will not be able to rule the world at all.
So an unprecedented war broke out between these two ancient countries, and the number of people participating in the war was as many as several million, almost half of the world's population. This battle lasted for more than a month, and the sky was shrouded in gray smoke at every moment, and no one saw the light of the sun for more than a month. The number of deaths in every day was measured in 10,000, the blood turned the land blood-red, the stumps and broken arms littered the battlefield, and the vultures grew bigger than the buffalo at that time.
A month later, the war finally ended, but it was a war without a winner, the soldiers of both countries were all killed, and the two ancient civilizations that had lost a lot of productivity gradually faded into the torrent of history.
No one had ever been to the ravine where the war had begun, for no one had the courage to walk there, and it had been shrouded in winds for a long time, and at any moment one could hear the screams of ghosts, like the wails of the dead soldiers!
That canyon has since been known as the Canyon of the Dead!
- Chapter 37 of The Secret History of the Arad Continent
"You said the Tower of Delusion exists in this canyon of the dead?" Ling Feng asked at Shimona.
"That's right! This is it! Simona said unhurriedly and walked slowly towards the front.
Long Ming and the others have now left the territory of the Duchy of Belmar and come to the north, which is very far away from the west coast.
As Simona said, a sound like a necromancer can be heard here at any time, and a huge gray mist that cannot be dispersed has long shrouded the canyon, and you can get lost at any time if you go far. From time to time there were figures floating in the mist, and every time the figures floated by, they would let out a wail, I don't know if the fog was blown up by the cold and biting wind, or as Simona said, these figures are the souls of those warriors who wander here, they cannot ascend to heaven because of their resentment of time, and can only linger here for a long time.
One by one, vultures hovered around Long Ming and the others, fortunately, these vultures were not as big as the buffalo as Simona said, but there were too many of them, as many as hundreds. If it weren't for the seal in Simona's hand that she had become a token of death, these vultures would have attacked Long Ming and the others a long time ago. However, even if they couldn't attack, they had been hovering around Long Ming and the others, waiting for the moment when Long Ming and them were exhausted, and at that time they would be able to eat the human flesh they had not seen for a long time.
Listen to the mournful chirping, the cold wind blowing on your back, and the gray mist that you can't see the end to, and the white bones that cover the ground. This place really deserves its name of the Valley of the Dead, if it weren't for the firmness of Long Ming and the others, they would have gone crazy in this desperate place, and even so, they felt uncomfortable.
"It is precisely because this is the place with the heaviest breath of death on the continent of Arad that the Grim Reaper chose this place, this place is like the realm of the Grim Reaper, and every place is full of the death, which the Grim Reaper loves! Necromantic wails are like a piece of music! Shimona said as she looked at the dead spirits that were hovering in the mist.
"Say no more! Staying in this place for a long time has made my goosebumps fall all the time! Hurry up and find the so-called Tower of Delusion, then break this abominable seal, and finally leave this place as soon as possible! It doesn't matter if he is the god of death or any other god, Young Master Ben will never have anything to do with him in the future! Ling Feng kept stroking his arm and said, it was really as he said, there were a lot of goosebumps on his arm.
Ling Feng's words were not wrong, this place was too eerie and terrifying, even Mo Li, who was born in the terrifying Demon Realm, had been pulling at the corners of Lulis's clothes and refused to let go, and her two small eyebrows had been wrinkled since she entered this Canyon of the Dead. Saint Lu Lizhe also felt very uncomfortable, his light power was restrained to the greatest extent here, and the pressure he had to bear was many times greater than that of Long Ming, and it was the first time for Long Ming and them to see such a hard work of Saint Lu Lizhe.
"Don't worry! We'll soon reach the Tower of Delusion! Don't get lost in following me, for if you get lost here, you may be bewitched by the thousands of dead spirits wandering here, and then you will never be able to walk out of this canyon again, and you will eventually become one of those undead. Simona reminded Long Ming and the others.
Hearing Simona's reminder, Long Ming and the others swallowed a mouthful of saliva at the same time, looking at the wandering dead spirits, they seemed to be smiling at themselves, and even more as if they were waving to them. Long Ming and the others hurried close to Simona, for fear that she would disappear from their sight, they didn't want to be one of these undead.
"Alright! I think we've arrived! Shimona said with a sudden pause.
"Is it there? How does it look like nothing has changed? Ling Feng asked strangely, in front of Long Ming and the others there was still only a mist, gray, and they couldn't see anything clearly.
"Nope! I think we've arrived! Lulith said suddenly.
As soon as Lulisi finished speaking, the fog in front of Long Ming changed, and the gray mist that seemed to be lingering all year round slowly dissipated under the gaze of Long Ming and the others, and a towering spire appeared in front of Long Ming and the others.
The mysteriously shaped minaret rises like a javelin into the sky, and lightning streaks through the pitch-black clouds, and a low thunderclap comes out of the clouds. On the top of the minaret, there are skeletal birds hovering, and some of them are perched on the minaret like scouts. And those gray souls floated slowly around the spire, and the scene was eerie.
"This is the rumored Tower of Delusion? It's really in line with the style of the Grim Reaper! Long Ming looked at the mysterious spire and exclaimed, where he felt a pair of eyes looking at him as well.
"Go ahead! Warriors, that's all I have to send you here! The rest depends on how you deal with it, and the Grim Reaper must have his reasons for choosing you, but I believe that you can face the past no matter what! Simona stopped, and did not intend to continue to enter the Tower of Delirium with Long Ming, her task was only to lead Long Ming and them to find the Tower of Delusion, and the rest was up to them.
"Thank you! We'll take care of the rest ourselves! I'm going to knock out all the teeth of the insidious Grim Reaper! Ling Feng compared his fist and said, but his fist didn't look big, looking at his companions with disdain, he immediately took out two red cannons, these two things should be powerful enough, right?! Ling Feng thought with a sinister smile, just wait to see the god of death, and then shoot him twice in the mouth without saying a word! Let him know what the terrible consequences of plotting against Uncle Ling Feng are.
"Huh! It's funny kid, it's the first time I've heard someone dare to knock out the teeth of the Grim Reaper, even the old man at GSD doesn't have the guts. Go, warriors, and I'll wait here for you to return. Simona waved at Long Ming and the others.
Long Ming and the others strode towards the towering tower of delusion, and in a short time, their figures disappeared into Simona's eyes, drowning in the gray mist one by one.
"Death, what is your purpose? First the invasion of the Demon Apostle, and now even you have to participate? When will the Arad continent be peaceful? Is the prophecy really going to be fulfilled? Simona thought to herself as she looked at the Tower of Delusion.
As Long Ming and the others advanced, clusters of cyan ghost fires lit up around them, and the ghost fires stood beside them as if guiding Long Ming and them forward. Inside the ghost fire is a distorted face that burns constantly, and it makes people's hearts hairy.
After a while, Long Ming and the others finally came to the door of the Tower of Delusion, the quaint gate was more than five meters high, and on the top of the door were carved entangled dead spirits, they were fighting, crying, and screaming. Looking at this strange painting, Long Ming and the others seemed to be about to lose their minds, but fortunately, Saint Lu Lizhe cast a dispel magic on their bodies to make them feel a lot better.
On the top of the gate is carved such a passage: The phantom of fame and fortune who has spent his life chasing flashiness, and only at the last moment of his life does he realize that all this is just nothing, which is the most precious gift that life gives to every life! O those who feel helpless in the world, I have reproduced all the delusions of your hearts, and you will no longer have to endure the torment of desire, but come here and take the most precious gift of your life!
This gate did not have many prohibitions like the enchantment of Sky City, and Long Ming pushed it open with a light push, obviously welcoming the arrival of Long Ming and the others.
As soon as the door was pushed open, one by one the necromancers rushed out from inside, and passed through the bodies of Long Ming and the others one by one, as if the road was liberated.
Before Long Ming and the others could come back to their senses, a hoarse voice came from above their heads:
Welcome to my domain! The Chosen Lost!
