Chapter 372: Into the Mountains, Illusions, and Reunion
However, in the end, she only took a deep look at Moriarty again, and no longer pursued her rare human identity, and the eagle-like old woman flapped her wings and flew away, without even saying hello to the old minotaur. Seeing this, Moriarty shrugged his shoulders and put his cloak back on. At the same time, the soft voices of the two sisters, Lina and Rona, sounded again, and the coquettish laughter and shallow anger quickly pulled the scene back into a "warm warmth" again.
Then, led by the Harpy Sisters, the team began to march towards the mountains.
After entering this mountain range, Moriarty discovered that there were mountains and forests in the underground world. Although the plants in the mountains are not tall green trees like the surface, but strange umbrella mushrooms, black or white, they are all tall and long, and they are densely shaded over everyone's heads. At the same time, among the tall umbrella mushrooms, there are many ground fern vegetation accompanied, which is also lush and abnormal, and even blocks the mountain road from time to time. D'Artagnan, who needed to open the way, needed to keep cutting and cleaning up in order to ensure the smooth passage of the large army behind.
From the moment they stepped into the forest, apart from the occasional pointer of direction, the two harpies were almost wrapped around Moriarty's side, chatting with the human mage in a delicate voice. From time to time, intentionally or unintentionally, he asks some questions to find out the details of the other party.
In this regard, Moriarty always greeted and sent each other with a smile, not frivolous or cold, just like dealing with the beer girl in the bar, making the two eagle sisters grit their teeth and laugh together.
Seeing this, the old minotaur also nodded with satisfaction. At the same time, he took care of the human mage with his eyes, and he had to be secretly careful of the eagle body around him. Because no matter from the inherent nature of this race. Again, in the past, the Eagle Body has never been a trustworthy or trustworthy partner, because the most common thing they do is deception and betrayal. Of course, Moriarty already knew about this.
This mountain, which is the "former home" of the hero Basil Lei, stretches for about 100 miles, and it takes about two days to walk according to the footsteps of the minotaur without sleep. Julob's expression was really unwilling to linger for a moment in this unknowable land of illusions, so he gave the party the order to do everything in their power to get out in a day and a half. For this reason, no minotaur dared to speak out against it. And the eagle sisters on the side were still smiling when they heard this, but their eyes showed a strange light.
After about seven or eight hours of continuous walking, the Minotaur team had already penetrated deep into the heart of the mountains.
At this time, the surrounding umbrella mushrooms are even more dense and towering. And the ferns are so flourishing that they almost overflow. Because of the continuous crossing of mountains and mountains. Even if you are as strong as a minotaur, you can't help but start to feel a little tired. But under the majestic gaze of the Torch Prophet, no one dared to be lazy, so he had to continue to move forward with all his might.
Gradually, I don't know when. A layer of mist emerged from the forest of umbrellas.
In the beginning. The old minotaur didn't care. It's just a matter of re-taking care of the children of the tribes and tightening the ranks, and don't drag too far. But slowly, the fog turned from light to thick. It was like a curtain descending in front of everyone's eyes. And Moriarty and Julob, who are the priests, are the most sensitive, and they have sensed a trace of supernatural abnormal energy from them, and they can't help but be vigilant.
After another moment, the fog was as thick as a curtain, and even one hand was almost missing.
The old minotaur didn't dare to wait any longer, and immediately turned around to ask the Harpy sisters, but only saw his sister Rona, and the elder sister Lina was gone without a trace.
"What's going on!?" Coming to Rona, Jolob asked in a loud voice instead of being angry.
"I don't know." The eagle sister innocently looked up at the torch prophet and wept before she could say a word: "Somehow, a vision has come for some reason. My sister has rushed to the front to investigate, and if the situation is not right, she will immediately notify Lord Loris to come. ”
"Yes." Seeing the shy harpy banshee crying like rain in front of him, Qiu Luobu couldn't force him to ask again, so as not to be too ugly, so he could only snort coldly.
"Ahh
And at this moment, a sharp exclamation suddenly came from the deep fog ahead, which was clearly the voice of her sister Lina. Immediately, her sister Rona flapped her wings and rushed into the fog and disappeared.
"Don't mess around! Don't even move! ”
Hearing the call, and seeing Rona fly into the fog and disappear, most of the minotaurs on the side also made a noise. But this kind of moment is the most taboo of chaos, and the Torch Prophet immediately roared angrily, suppressing the restless atmosphere. Under the power of the old minotaur, the unstable feelings immediately dissipated, and all the minotaurs stood firmly in place, alert to the situation around them.
"Pretty good control!"
Seeing this, Moriarty also nodded repeatedly. From this, it can be seen that the Torch Prophet's control over the tribe is profound, and it has reached the military law of the order and prohibition, and the human garrison on the surface of the idle land is no better.
Fortunately, it was only a moment before Lorna flew back and told her sister Lina that she was fine, and that she had found out the reason for the inexplicable appearance of the illusion and was solving it. Hearing this, the minotaurs couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the Minotaur has never been afraid of big battles and tough battles, but being trapped in place by an unknowable illusion in this strange mountain range is the last thing the Minotaur wants to face.
Just looking at the face of Rhona who returned, Moriarty suddenly frowned. And the eagle body quickly sensed the human mage's gaze, and immediately turned his back to look at it.
"This... Not a sister! She's my sister Lina! ”
With his eyes fixed, Moriarty had already made a judgment. Why did the sisters suddenly switch identities and act so secretively? What exactly are they trying to do?
It's just that before Moriarty could reveal the identity of the other party, suddenly, a light and shadow flickered inexplicably in the surrounding foggy fungus forest. And when the light and shadow dissipated, I saw countless dark elves and eye demons rushing out of the fog, smiling and killing the Minotaur team.
"Circle the Formation!"
At the first moment, the old minotaur roared, and at the same time, the totem staff in his hand slammed down. Immediately, the sacrificial fire ignited, expelling the surrounding fog from a radius of ten meters. Seeing this, the other minotaurs also hurriedly gathered around the Torch Prophet, forming a circle, ready to resist the sudden appearance of a strong enemy.
And in the blink of an eye, the dark elves and eye demons that suddenly appeared were also killed. However, as soon as these powerful enemies stepped into the light of the sacrificial fire, they were all immediately on fire, and then quickly turned into puffs of green smoke and disappeared.
"It's... Illusion! ”
The sacrificial fire also had a miraculous effect on destroying illusions, so the old minotaur reacted immediately. Then he turned his head and was about to grab the eagle body and ask, but saw that the "Rhona" was gone. Missing along with the eagle body was the human mage Moriarty.
At about the same moment, Moriarty only felt that the psychedelic light and shadow surrounding him had finally receded like a low tide. And looking forward, he found that he had come to a mountain peak at some point. Not far from the bottom of the mountain, you can see a fungus forest surrounded by dense fog, which is only about 100 square meters. In the center of the fog, a blue fire was clearly visible, forcing the surrounding gray fog away, and at the same time, the trapped figures of the surrounding minotaur team were also in the distance.
"Sure enough, it was a deliberate illusion attack."
Retracting his gaze downward, Moriarty looked to the other side, and saw the gate of an ancient palace carved into the cliff. And in front of the entrance, the eagle old woman Loris and the eagle sister with a smug smile on their faces. At the same time, dozens of eagle throwers surrounded themselves from all directions, in the air and underground. And all of them have javelins in their hands, and if they make the slightest move, they are afraid that they will be besieged.
However, Moriarty only nodded lightly at this, but did not care.
To be honest, just now the harpy Lina used the illusion to tie him up, and Moriarty was not without resistance. However, he followed the boat here to see what the eagle wanted to do. With Moriarty's current strength, if the firepower is fully opened, as long as the opponent does not have the extreme way to sit in charge, it will be a sure victory, so he is not afraid to put the eagle body alone. And instead of being constantly attacked by illusions in the mountains, he also thought that it would be more effective and save time to directly attack the Yellow Dragon.
"See you again, human mage." Seeing that Moriarty was calm and fearless, the eagle-armed old woman seemed to be dissatisfied, but she still smiled dryly, as if she had been waiting for a long time.
"Yes, Lord Loris, I really didn't expect to see you again so soon, I don't know what to say?" Moriarty also smiled politely, as if he was a good guest.
"I heard the minotaur say before, you're an enchanter?" also admired the other party's courage, and the eagle-armed old woman nodded and said directly.
"A little bit." There is no denial, and there is no need to deny it, Moriarty said lightly.
"Very well, there's something I'd like to 'please' you to see." Finally, the eagle body revealed its purpose.
"Please?" Moriarty smiled mockingly.
"Master, our sister has graciously invited you. He didn't cut off your hands or feet, nor did he scratch any bones of flesh on you, but he couldn't have been more respectful. At this time, Lina, the sister on the side, suddenly opened her mouth, although she was still ordinary soft and coquettish, she was cold and threatening.
"Well, that's a very polite way to say that." Moriarty glanced at the other and smiled again.
"I'll just say it." The eagle sisters also smiled proudly together.
"What do you need me to see?" Moriarty turned to the old woman.
"Come with me, you'll see." Satisfied with the "positive" attitude of the human mage, Loris waved her hand to let the approaching eagle throwers back a little, so as not to scare the VIP too much.
"Please."
Without any more nonsense, the eagle-armed old woman turned around and flew towards the ancient hall, while the two eagle-body sisters came to the human mage, guarding and going to the palace.
"What about Elder Jolob?"
However, Moriarty did not immediately follow the eagle-man into the temple, but turned to look at the mist below. (To be continued......)
