Chapter 219: Mist
The valley was filled with fog, and although the sky was shining at the moment, the thick fog blocked the sunlight and made the valley floor gloomy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
There are strange rocks here, piles of dry bones, and black crows can be seen everywhere, making strange calls from time to time. The ground was a dark brown color, with occasional black gas spewing out of the ground, dried blood stains in patches, and the remnants of soldiers and broken blades seemed to tell of the battles that had taken place here.
There was a crackling sound, as if bones were being trampled, and several tall barbarian warriors appeared in the canyon. The terrifying sight in the canyon could not shake their expressions and steps. Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, they prefer to go to the tiger mountains, but it doesn't look like they are here to send them to death, but like they are here to slaughter tigers.
Behind these barbarian warriors, there was a large group of human adventurers, many of whom were elves and dwarves.
The number of people in this group was close to two hundred, all of them were well-equipped, and their strength was above the middle level of the Holy Domain, and the scene in the valley was terrifying, but they were all indifferent.
Canyon of the Dead is a great place to level up and gear up for gem mining, which is famous in the Clark area, so adventurers love to venture in groups.
But not long ago, a group of 100 people was completely wiped out, and there was no return, not even the soul, which caused a lot of panic in the Clark area. Therefore, the patrol in charge of the security of the Clark area entrusted the adventurers' union with a large amount of money, hoping to recruit adventurers to investigate the matter.
So there is the current situation.
The team took those barbarian warriors as the pioneers and gradually penetrated into the interior of the Canyon of the Dead. Since there are often adventurers coming in and out of this place, there is a lot of information related to this place, and even some enthusiastic adventurers have put up signposts on the side of the road in order to serve the public.
Like this......
"This leads to the Broken Bowel Cliff." A barbarian warrior stopped at the intersection and read the words on the sign.
The other two lead to the deadly abyss and mass graves, respectively.
"Our target is that grave, so we should go to mass graves. Go left! Several barbarian warriors immediately prepared to bend to the left. Suddenly......
"Slow! You must be new to the city. An adventurer said.
"What's wrong, isn't it in the right direction?"
"Those monsters are very cunning, the signage has been tampered with by them, the left is actually the abyss of death, there are many mechanisms, corpses are everywhere, countless adventurers have died there, and to the right is the road to the mass grave."
"Alright then," the barbarian warrior agreed. They set off at once. But......
"Slow! You can't go to the right, and although you can go directly to the mass grave on the right, there are many dangers. The red-haired banshee has set up a lot of traps on the road, which makes it impossible to guard against it. We should go to the Broken Intestine Cliff first, then turn right into the Lime Pass, and then bend into the mass grave, which is the safest way. The adventurer seemed to be an old driver, and his words were immediately applauded.
The barbarian warriors were a little annoyed, and shouted: "We are many and powerful, we are all one in a hundred, and the priests are in groups, what kind of birds are we afraid of!" ”
However, the words of these simple-minded and well-limbed barbarians are difficult to convince the public. I had to listen to the words of the "old driver" and move forward.
The further you go inside, the thicker the fog becomes. Flying in the sky or something, although everyone here can do it, their destination is not in the sky, but underground.
There was a clattering sound, and the ground was full of dry bones, some monstrous, some human. Perhaps, some adventurers may have stepped on the corpses they once left behind.
As they went deeper, the adventurers' vision began to be obstructed. The gases that erupted from the holes, some red and some purple, were poisonous and disturbed the sight of adventurers.
The adventurers were prepared, took out anti-poison potions, and used magic to enhance their eyesight.
One of the adventurers suddenly said, "How do I feel that this road is wrong, it is not like the road to the Broken Bowel Cliff, but like the road to the Netherworld."
Another adventurer said, "I'll go, the Netherworld Stream is so far away, how can we get there all at once." ”
The team continued to move forward, and suddenly there was a scream from the rear, who had been attacked.
"What's going on, what's going on?"
"Two guys disappeared all of a sudden, and they were just behind my back!"
"Huh? There is blood on the ground, they are attacked! ”
"Let's go back and find it......" one of the adventurers muttered to the foggy, poisonous road behind him.
"Are you going?" Another adventurer said.
The adventurer was a little flustered and said, "No...... No. As he spoke, he hurried to keep up with the pace of the large group.
The large army did not stop because of the disappearance of two people, which is very common here. However, suspiciously, this place does not look like the road to the Broken Bowel Cliff, and more and more adventurers are responding that this is the road to the Netherworld.
The Netherworld Stream is a more terrifying place than the deadly abyss, legend has it that there is a very huge flower growing there, full of poison, the poisonous flower demon used that flower to sow poison throughout the Netherworld, the general anti-poison potion can not withstand that toxicity, you have to wear a full set of high anti-poison equipment, and then with poison resistance potion.
The adventurers were immediately deterred, not daring to move forward.
"When we go to the Netherworld Stream now, we are undoubtedly going to die. The few heroes who came out of there all said that it was terrifying, and although the strength of the Poison Flower Demon was not strong, there was really no way to defeat her in the Netherworld. ”
"Then what is there to hesitate about, turn around."
The large army immediately turned around and walked back.
"It's strange, this road is obviously going to the Broken Intestine Cliff, why did it suddenly reach the Netherworld." The adventurers were puzzled in their hearts, and their nervousness continued to rise.
During this period, several more people suddenly disappeared inexplicably, and they didn't know whether they were captured or fell into the hole.
The other side.
On the high cliff on the side, Mo Xiaoxie, accompanied by Sothia, quietly looked at the scene in the observation mirror, and he had a full view of what happened to the adventurous team.
The observation mirror is a high-level magic and is relatively rare. It was the Poison Flower Demon who supported this magic, and she was the one who kept the adventuring team in the right direction.
The Poison Flower Demon casts spells on the mirror, creating more poison gas near the adventurers. These gases are not only capable of harming the health of adventurers, but can also affect their spirits and even cause them to delusional. The longer they stay in these gases, the more easily it is for adventurers to get lost, and their souls may spend their lives spinning in circles on this foggy and chaotic path, while their bodies lie motionless on the ground.
This is the ability of the Poisonous Flower Demon in front of Mo Xiaoxie, it is very practical, and the poisonous gas and confusion technique are the usual methods of the Poisonous Flower Demon.
However, Mo Xiaoxie wanted to know what was so powerful about her giant flower, was it really poisonous? Is that a plant or what? Mo Xiaoxie had never seen any plant so powerful.
The Poisonous Flower Demon didn't want to answer Mo Xiaoxie's question, so he said lukewarmly: "King, if you want to go and see, I can take you to the Netherworld Stream to have a look." But please don't investigate this secret of mine, no one. ”
Mo Xiaoye didn't force her, so he said to the snake demon Ji: "I have already seen the ability of the poisonous flower demon, what about you?" ”
The snake demon smiled sequentially and said, "Look at it!" As he spoke, his figure flashed out gracefully, fell off the cliff, and soon disappeared into the sea of clouds.
Soon, the adventurers in the mirror encountered new problems.
Countless poisonous snakes fell from the sky, these poisonous snakes were large and small, the big ones were several meters long, and the small ones were like toothpicks, and the eyes were not easy to find.
The adventuring party soon became confused, and screams rang out from time to time.
"Oh, I've been bitten, I've been poisoned, mage, detoxify me! Mage, where is the mage, mage! ”
"I'll go, what's got into my nostrils, what's going on? Uh......h Poof......"
Seeing that the situation was not right, the leader of the team, a priest with a legendary rank, said in a thunderous voice: "Priests turn on the divine light, mages perform exorcisms!" We're going to get rid of this damn poisonous mist, the Poison Flower Demon and the Snake Demon Queen have teamed up, I didn't expect to meet them, what the hell. Cheer up, don't take it lightly! ”
Now that they are in a state of imminent battle, the adventurers do not have to be stingy with their strength, and they have shown their skills one after another.
For a while, the light in the canyon shone brightly, and the thick mist and poisonous gas gradually thinned under the dispersion of various spells. After a while, the adventurers saw the situation here, and were shocked to find that this was not the way to the Netherworld, nor to the Broken Bowel Cliff, nor the way back. The direction they were walking now should have been to turn back from the direction of the Nether Stream, but now that the fog was gradually dissipating, the adventurers were shocked that it was the way to the Death Gang!
"Hades...... Bear Bear, how could we possibly embark on this path......" At the mention of Bear Buck's name, adventurers were nervous.
"Go back, it's too dangerous here. If Buck kills him, he will really die, and he won't even have a chance to return to the city. ”
If you are killed by ordinary monsters, your soul can still return to the city. But if you are killed by a monster in the later stages of the legend, there is no possibility of resurrection. The effect of the God of Light on the protection of the souls of believers is not too strong. After all, there are many believers, and if the effect is too strong, it will be a great burden on the God of Light. The powerhouses in the late stage of the legend are able to ignore the soul protection of the God of Light.
The adventuring team has completely lost the confidence they had when they came, and their numbers have been reduced by a third. They don't know what's going on at all, and even if they are very familiar with this kind of "old driver", they can't tell why.
For the sake of prudence, the regimental commander decided to return to the entrance of the Canyon of the Dead for the time being, and then make a decision. This was immediately supported by everyone.
However, as they prepared to leave, a majestic body gradually appeared behind the dissipating mist.
"Hades...... Bear Buck !! Immediately, an adventurer blurted out in horror.
There was an uproar among the adventuring team, and no one wanted to face this terrible guy.
"It's strange how it came out before we even got to its territory. Doesn't it always ignore our actions, oh my God! ”
Buck laughed and said, "Hehe, Lao Tzu has changed his mind today, and no adventurer will be allowed to step into the Canyon of the Dead for half a step in the future!" As he spoke, Buck waved his hand, and a large number of demons and monsters suddenly poured out from behind it.
The adventuring team hurriedly retreated, but suddenly there were two more teams of monsters in the rear. Ghost-faced lizards and two-headed trolls blocked all adventurers.
"Hell, these leaders have all come together, I've never seen them act together."
There were too many monsters, and the snake demon queen led her men to kill them through the cracks in the rocks in the canyon, catching the adventurers off guard.
Buck swarmed with the ghost-faced lizards and the two-headed trolls, completely surrounding the adventurers, and then began to slaughter them.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the regimental commander hurriedly shouted to retreat, and took the brunt of the call for a pair of white wings, and then flew into the sky. However, the air was no longer working, and one of Buck's men, the Harpy Leader, and his men blocked the adventurers' last retreat.
The adventurers were forced to fight, but the monsters' numerical and geographical advantages were too obvious, and adventurers kept screaming and falling.
The battle ended quickly, probably because of the performance in front of Mo Xiaoxie, and the monsters were very hard.
In the end, only a few adventurers who could teleport skills from a distance escaped, and the rest were killed.
The few adventurers who had escaped quickly returned to Clark City.
Clark City is the only city in the Clark area, and it is also a huge population center, very prosperous, the city lord is in charge of everything here, Clark City does not belong to any country, but it has close contacts with many human countries. The city lord is a member of the Tsing Yi God Cult, and Clark City can be said to belong to the Tsing Yi Order.
The adventurers reported what had happened to the Adventurers' Guild, which immediately attracted attention and even alarmed the city lord.
The combined actions of the monster leaders were a danger signal and a threat to the security of the Clark area, so the patrol decided to take the matter seriously.
Patrols responsible for the security of Clark's area generally do not clean up monsters, but instead delegate their work to the Adventurers' Guild, which will attract adventurers from elsewhere to drive the economy and increase the prosperity of Clark City.
But this time the stakes were very high, and the believers of the Tsing Yi Order were really killed, which angered the city lord, and the city lord decided to send a Tsing Yi Judgment Grand Knight to exterminate those demons and monsters.
The patrol still left the matter to the Adventurers' Guild, but the requirements for the adventurers recruited were high, and they must reach the legendary level.
Since Bear Buck is very famous in this area, the battle group that crusades against it has always been very rare, and this siege and suppression is mainly based on Bear Buck, so this immediately attracted many legendary adventurers with an adventurous spirit to join.
Coupled with the bounties of heavy money and equipment, more and more adventurers are joining the team.
In order to absorb more members, the patrol decided to wait a few more days, while they also closely watched the movements of the monsters in the canyon of the dead. They were surprised to find that the monster was actually building houses inside, mining minerals, refining metals, and crafting weapons. Moreover, many demons that should not exist in the Clark area are all over the mountains!
The situation seems to be very bad, so the patrol is more demanding of the adventurers, and intends to gather more and stronger adventurers. (To be continued.) )
