Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Eroded Valley
Odkin was suddenly curious about Zachary's identity, because he knew that a fourteen-year-old black iron was on the throne, and he could definitely be called a genius in the Reiner Kingdom. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But such a genius who will be highly valued everywhere, Raphael followed Zachary's people without complaint, and in more than a day of observation, Odkin found from Raphael's usual words and deeds that this young man had great respect for Zachary and admired him from the bottom of his heart.
This made Odkin puzzled, a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old could make a genius worship him so much, and the most important thing was that it was estimated that the girl who was a little younger than Raphael would not be weaker than Raphael, more genius.
Oh, this world is really crazy, Eke is on top, when did geniuses become so worthless......
Regardless of the collapse of the old mercenary Odkin, Zachary and the others carefully approached the valley step by step, and the closer they got to the valley, the more they noticed the pressure of the surrounding environment, and from time to time a demonized monster would jump out of the surrounding woods.
I don't know what the reason is, they can't detect the approach of these monsters, obviously the surrounding environment is so silent, almost a pin drop can be heard, but they just can't hear the footsteps of these monsters approaching, until the moment when the monsters launch a surprise attack, they can detect it.
This made Joanna and their pressure instantly increased, and the awkward environment around them made them more vigilant, and the whole person's spirit began to tense, and from time to time these monsters would jump out and provoke it, adding some challenge to Amy and the two little guys.
Oldkin glanced at Zachary, who was standing aside without making a move, with strange eyes, and didn't know what the young man thought, so he watched his three companions become more and more nervous.
In the end, Odkin couldn't stand it anymore, walked in front of the three of them to open the way, and after a few steps, a demonized monster suddenly swooped down on the old mercenary from the top of his head.
The body transformed by demonic energy gave this monster with agility and strength far beyond that of ordinary animals, and in the blink of an eye, this monster pounced from the canopy of a tree several meters high to the top of the old mercenary's head, and its sharp claws reflected a terrifying cold light in the morning light.
I saw Odkin pounce forward, and with a roll, he avoided the attack that hit the key point overhead, and before the monster could react, the sword in the old mercenary's hand stabbed behind him at some point, piercing the monster's chest through.
Obviously, although his strength may not be as strong as Raphael, the weakest of the three, after all, Odkin has long been exhausted after decades of mercenary life, but relying on the experience accumulated in these decades of fighting, although his strength is better than that of Joanna, he can kill these demonized monsters more easily than them.
"Pay more attention to the elder's body movements, this is how he unreservedly shows you the skills and combat experience that a warrior has honed in countless battles." Walked up to Joanna and the others, motioning for them to watch Oldkin's movements.
Rather than looking at Odkin as a simple pounce and a stab in the back, this simple set of moves conceals the skills of a veteran warrior honed from countless battles, as well as the wealth of experience, which can even be used as heirlooms.
And now, Odkin is unreservedly displayed in front of them, which shows the respectability and selflessness of this elder, it is obvious that it is the high morality of this elder that makes him have a reputation that others can hardly imagine among the mercenaries in the town, but Zachary still remembers that it was because of the old mercenary's opening that the townspeople and mercenaries of Santos Town began to be full of kindness to them.
Glancing at Zachary, Audkin continued to walk ahead, not paying any attention to what Zachary had said to Joanna and them, and as he unreservedly displayed his skills and experience in front of them, he had the idea of imparting it to them.
In the next section of the road to Taniguchi, Odkin has been walking in front of everyone to lead the way, and with such an old mercenary with rich combat experience in front of him, he has attracted most of the attention of the monsters, so that Joanna and them in the back have suddenly reduced their pressure a lot.
Especially after the old mercenary unreservedly passed on his skills to them, combined with the knowledge taught by those seniors in the army, and Zachary was by the side from time to time to point out, Joanna and the three of them did not get much improvement although their strength on the surface.
But the three of them knew very well in their hearts that if they fought with their previous selves, with these experiences and skills, they could easily defeat their previous selves, because these experiences and skills were all obtained by their predecessors from life and death, and they had experienced countless battles.
The closer they got to Taniguchi, the more violent and powerful the monsters became, and the number of them grew, sometimes even several of them came out to attack at the same time, leaving the group to deal with them in a hurry.
Finally finally reached the valley mouth, Joanna couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, although her strength was stronger than Rafael Amy after Zachary's training, her body was not fully opened, and her strength and physique were not much weaker than the two.
"Let's take a break." Seeing that Joanna was already a little out of breath, Zachary stopped everyone from taking a break at the valley mouth.
Like the woods outside the valley, the woods in the valley are extremely silent, and even more lifeless. This made Zachary's pupils shrink slightly, he didn't expect that the little demonic energy leaking out of the teleportation channel would have such a big impact.
The traditional passage in this valley is the remnants left by the last time the Western Continent invaded the Eastern Continent, and the former Lydian Plain was the most fierce battlefield between the two sub-continental camps, and this was the meeting point of the Western Continent army at that time, and a steady stream of Western Continent soldiers walked out from here, bringing bloody rain to the Eastern Continent.
After the end of the war, the heroes of the Eastern Continent built an altar here to seal the portal after obtaining the consent of the gods, but no one expected that there was a portal to the Purgatory Council of the Western Continent in this passage, and the demonic energy brought by the Purgatory Council from hell continued to erode the seal, and finally leaked to the outside, demonizing the priest who protected the seal.
The former heroes either lit the divine fire and became gods, or turned into heroic spirits, and the gods and cults in the Eastern Continent who had lost the power of these heroes had no choice but to give up this altar and block all the information about this altar, so that no one could find this altar and break the seal.
If he hadn't known about the existence of this altar in his previous life, I'm afraid Zachary wouldn't have been able to find this place, but he just looked at the valley that had long been completely eroded by demonic energy, and his brows furrowed deeply, which was not mentioned in the forum in his previous life.
