Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
There was not a trace of sound on the silent wilderness, except for the ashes floating down in the sky, Chen Kai didn't see anything moving, of course, if you had to count it, the blades of grass swaying in the wind under your feet could also be considered moving. Chen Kai and they have searched the entire meadow area, and there is no trace of information about living creatures, not even bloodstains, which means that there is no possibility of survivors living here.
"Let's go! Let's go to the next place! Chen Kai slowly straightened his waist and said to the dwarves behind him, compared to the dwarf behind him who was only half his height, Chen Kai's vision range was wider, at least he could show the danger that the dwarves could not detect in advance. But there was no doubt that there was no danger around them now, or rather no danger in sight, because there was not even a single bird around. Obviously, the creatures around them had fled under the terrifying evil force, which was why the whole meadow area was so quiet.
Under such circumstances, Chen Kai naturally did not have to worry about being attacked, because no enemy would come to attack them at all. But after no survivors were found in the meadow area, Chen Kai had to move to the next place, about five kilometers away from the meadow area. Outside of the grey-white grasslands of the wasteland, there are mostly low trees, but there are also a few areas with large amounts of weathered rock. The place where Chen Kai and the others were going to explore was such an area with nearly five square kilometers of weathered rock, which was the most likely place around the dwarven camp where survivors would survive.
In fact, if it weren't for the large number of poisonous insects endemic to the wasteland entrenched here, it is estimated that the dwarves would have set up camp here, instead of the current place that has been burned to the ground. After all, the weathered rock only needs to be slightly transformed with the earth element spell to be a huge city wall, and there are many places to hide in the weathered rock area, even if an enemy comes, as long as you shrink inside, you can easily dodge it. However, if the enemy is the kind who has turned the dwarven camp into ruins, then no matter how good it is, it is just waiting for death.
The huge weathered rock area cannot be searched in a day or two, but Chen Kai does not want to scatter his people to search, because the weathered rock area is too dangerous. Although the creatures in the meadow area were all scared away by the terrifying evil aura, Chen Kai didn't think that all the creatures in the weathered rock area would be scared away. Because the area is so big. And there are some evil creatures hidden in it, so naturally they will not be scared away by those evil forces.
When Chen Kai stepped into the range of the weathered rock area with one foot, a strange wind whistle sounded in his ears. This strange wind is extremely terrifying, and if combined with a pitch-black night, it is enough to scare many timid players. Fortunately, when Chen Kai set foot here, the sun in the sky was still in the west, although it had gradually drooped, but at least there were still about two hours before it was completely dark.
"We had two hours to search here! If you can't do it, you'll have to leave, it's a bit dangerous at night, and we can't take too much risk! Chen Kai said loudly to the dwarf behind him, and the dwarf standing behind him clenched the weapon in his hand and nodded. As a dwarf who has just picked up a weapon and turned into a musketeer. These dwarves are well aware of how high their fighting power is, as they had previously held hammers instead of weapons. The most I did was just casting, not killing people and setting fires.
"Gagondo! You go this way with three people! Remember not to get too far away from me! Chen Kai pointed to the only gray dwarf among the dwarves and said softly, following Chen Kai to deal with the strongest of the seven dwarves searching for survivors. In fact, if it weren't for the consideration of the camp guard, Chen Kai would have hoped that it would be the players who came to search instead of the dwarves, at least Fei Yun's combat effectiveness would be much stronger, and he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to resurrect them after hanging up.
"Okay!" The dwarves did not object to Chen Kai's assignment. Although Ge Gangdo is a gray dwarf, at least he has done his best to protect his people along the way. Even though the destruction of the dwarven convoy this time may have something to do with the gray dwarves, all the black dwarves who came with him all the way still believed in him.
"Let's go!" Chen Kai whispered to the remaining three dwarven musketeers, and then slowly walked towards the nearest weathered rock with his giant sword on his back. Not far from him, the gray dwarf Personality Gangduo did the same, but compared to Chen Kai carrying the weapon behind his back, Gegangduo directly held the weapon in his hand. Behind him, the dwarves had muskets in their hands, their fingers ready to hit the trigger at any moment.
The reason why the weathered rock area is believed by Chen Kai and his people to be the most likely to have dwarven survivors hiding here is not because the rocks here are large enough, but because there are many crevices and holes in the huge rocks here that have been eroded by the wind and sand. These crevices and holes produce a whirring sound when blown by the wind. And Chen Kai's strange whistling when they stepped into here came from this. Some of these wind-eroded crevices and holes connect with the crevices in the rock itself, and may even lead to the underground world. Of course, this weathered rock area does not have access to the underground world, and the deepest caverns are only about three or four meters underground.
"Torch!" Chen Kai stood at the entrance of the rock crevice, which was not particularly deep, but because of the light, Chen Kai still couldn't see the situation in the depths of the crevice. As for climbing into the gap, don't think about it, even if Chen Kai's huge body is just a wall at the entrance, even if a dwarf wants to climb into this gap, it is enough to choke, but the child has no problem.
"No one, go to the next place." Chen Kai's eyes swept over the entire gap, and with the help of the light generated by the torch, he could clearly see the things in the entire gap. Unfortunately, there was nothing but a few scorpions that were crawling by the light of the torches.
"Bang!" Just as Chen Kai was about to turn around and walk towards the next weathered rock area, a musket rang out from the dwarves led by Ge Gangduo not far away. He subconsciously turned his head to look at the dwarves not far away, and then ran wildly towards them.
"What's going on?" Chen Kai looked at Ge Gangduo, who was a little panicked, and the dwarf with a musket in his hand, and asked, he didn't see the target of these dwarves, but there was no doubt that from the dwarves' faces, they must have seen something.
"There is a shadow! There was a shadow just now! I didn't hit it when I shot it, though! Murdos, the black dwarf who fired the shot, stammered a little, he was very nervous at the moment because his bullet had just hit Gergondo's head.
"Did you see that?" Chen Kai asked a few other dwarves. But everyone, including Gagodon, shook their heads, especially Ggondo, who was almost shot in the head by Murdos's bullet. But he didn't see anything, for the only thing he felt was the sound of bullets passing through his head, and at that moment he thought he was dead.
"Then you have to pay attention! Next time it may not be so lucky! Chen Kai pulled out the dagger from his waist and detained the bullet fired by Murdos from the rock. At the same time, the rock where the bullet hit was also detained. Gently crushing the rocks revealed the bullets inside. and a burnt hair.
"Shoot on target next time! Murdos! Also, pay more attention to the top of your head in the future, don't be crushed in the head, and you don't know where the danger comes from in the future! The same goes for you! Everyone with their weapons, I think there's something here that welcomes us! Chen Kai could feel the incomparably evil aura on that strand of hair, and only in this way would the evil thing not be frightened by the evil power that exploded before. When Chen Kai raised his head again, his eyes began to be covered with a layer of golden magic light, and after there was something stored here, Chen Kai began to bless the eyes of the stars on his eyes.
Seeing that Chen Kai's eyes were covered with divine magic, all the dwarves began to subconsciously clench their weapons. Especially Ggangdo, who was still complaining that Murdos almost killed him just now, began to thank the other party at this moment, because if it weren't for Murdos, maybe this gray dwarf would have his head blooming and lying on the ground by now.
"Now ungroup! Ge Gangdo, you follow the team to the back of the hall and take charge of the palace! Everyone remember to load their bullets and be ready to shoot at any time! And of course don't make my head a target! Chen Kai's eyes swept over the entire crack in the rock, and under the light of the torch, there was no trace of life in the crack, and he also did not catch any trace of evil or filthy creatures.
"Let's go! Go on! Chen Kai didn't choose to give up the search because of the presence of enemies, thinking that maybe he might really find something in this weathered rock area.
The merger of the two teams into one made Chen Kai and their safety factor increase a lot. But there is no doubt that on the other hand, it has made their actions much less efficient. It's just that Chen Kai and what they need now is safety, and none of the dwarves want their own people to die again, because they feel that there are enough people who have died.
Looking at the dwarven musketeer Chen Kai behind him who was as cautious as a devil entering the village, there was not much smile on his face, he kept holding a torch and probing into the crevices of the weathered rocks to find traces of survivors, but there was nothing else in the air except empty echoes. At the same time, the Cun ZĂ i, who had been shot by Murdos, did not reappear, and for more than an hour, Chen Kai and his team searched for hundreds of huge weathered rocks and walked nearly three or four kilometers of road. At the same time, they gradually penetrated into the heart of the weathered rock area. The rocks around them became larger and stranger, and the eerie sound of the wind lingering around them was terrifying.
"That's it! It's starting to get dark, and we have to get out of this area right away! Wait until dawn tomorrow to come back! It can get dangerous at night! Chen Kai looked at the sky and felt that he couldn't stay in this area anymore, but as soon as his words fell, a faint shout came from his ears.
"Help! Who's going to save us! The shout was very soft, even to the point of being almost inaudible. But both Chen Kai and those dwarves heard it, and the only problem was that they couldn't judge the source of the sound.
"Who is it? Who's there! At this moment, everyone shouted where they thought the sound was coming from, but they couldn't hear anything other than the cries for help carried by the breeze. Just when the group thought that maybe it was just a hallucination, a faint sound came from the air again.
"Come and save us! We're here! This time the voice was clearer, even so clear that it made people feel like the other party was close to the left. Of course, Chen Kai knew that this was impossible. Because he did not show any trace of the source of the sound in the surrounding area, and judging from the direction of the source of the sound, the other party should be in the heart of the entire weathered rock area.
Looking at the eyes looking around, Chen Kai raised his head to check the sky, he knew that even if he said anything now, these dwarves would definitely have to go and check it, and he wanted to take a look himself. If it's really the dwarven survivors who escaped, then it's fine, if it weren't for the fact that they were at least in their way, they would still have a chance to escape.
"Let's go! We have to hurry! The night here is so dangerous! Chen Kai directly summoned Lal, and the other dwarves climbed onto their mounts and pack horses when they heard this, which allowed them to reach their target faster. If the other party is in danger. Then the sooner you arrive, the better your chances of surviving.
The weathered rock area is not large, only a dozen square kilometers horizontally and vertically, and Chen Kai is only less than one or two kilometers away from the source of the distress sound. The sound becomes very faint after being transmitted through the air. But Chen Kai and they still heard it very clearly, and Chen Kai felt quite strange about this alone. But there is no doubt that Chen Kai can only keep this weirdness in his heart. For at this moment the dwarves felt that the voice was undoubtedly their kindred.
"It's also the dwarf's loud voice that can make the sound travel far away, maybe it's true! Maybe it's because of the terrain! Such a thought flashed in Chen Kai's mind, and then urged Lal to rush ahead, his speed almost surpassing the other dwarves by several positions. When he saw where the sound had come from, the first thing he saw was a damaged carriage, a carriage that had overturned on its side on the ground.
"It's our carriage!" Ge Gangduo, who arrived later, shouted at the top of his voice. Of course, it was Chen Kai's eyes that responded to him, because Chen Kai could naturally see such a carriage, and at the same time, he also looked at one of the carriages that did not disappear in his mind. Because the carriages are even more special, but this carriage is extremely ordinary. Of course, it was precisely because this carriage was extremely ordinary that Chen Kai would not remember it, because there were hundreds of such carriages and dwarves.
"What about people?" Looking at the open door of the carriage, everyone knew that the people in the carriage were not here. Just looked around, Chen Kai now had no place to hide. And the most important thing is that Chen Kai has no trace of the horses that are now pulling the carriage.
"Look around! Be careful not to scatter! Chen Kai took Lal back to the pet space, and the strange thing was that when they arrived here, the sound of cries for help disappeared all at once. Chen Kai, who felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, lit the lights on the carriage, and the two unbroken lamps and torches illuminated their location.
"Where are you? Hurry up and answer us! Gegandor shouted as he held his torch aloft, and the flickering light of the fire pulled out leaping shadows behind him, and now a dark shadow was slowly groping towards him from behind the rock.
"Gagondo! Watch the back! Chen Kai's eyes continued to flicker with golden magic light, and the misty starlight even rushed out of his eye sockets several centimeters. At that moment he caught a black-red glow that felt so evil to him. So much so that both of his eyes tingled a little. However, this did not prevent him from warning the gray dwarf, and Murdos, who had always held the musket, did not hesitate to shoot the musket at Grigando's back. The sound of gunfire was very clear in the night sky, directly breaking the quiet night.
At the moment when the musket rang out, Ge Gangduo directly turned around and held the shield in his hand sideways in front of him, and then he felt a huge force coming from the shield, and at the same time, there were sparks from the friction of metal. With the help of the torch that had not yet been extinguished under his feet, the gray dwarf saw an extremely hideous and distorted face, and he was even more horrified to realize that the face belonged to the dwarf and was still the same gray dwarf as him. It's just that the dwarf in front of him is no longer an ordinary dwarf, and even he no longer belongs to the category of living beings. At least Gagondor had never seen a dwarf with hands or claws like this.
"What are you?" Gagondor was knocked back by the sheer force, a hint of anger and confusion flashing across his face.
"Help me! Come and save me! Whoop! An extremely strange voice came from the mouth of the dwarf in front of Ggando, and then he kicked his leg hard in front of the gray dwarf, and his body flew directly backwards for two or three meters and jumped on the top of the rock behind him.
"This is the survivor who called for help? Why did they become like this! The dwarves' faces became terrified and angry as they saw more of them like this. These strange dwarves stood on all fours on the top of the rock, and with the help of the torches and carriage lights on the ground, Chen Kai could clearly see their pitch-black skin and naked bodies.
"Is this a surprise? It's really amazing! Chen Kai slowly pulled out the giant sword behind his back. At his signal, all the dwarves began to converge towards him, gathering around the carriage. Facing the dozen or so strange dwarves in front of him, Chen Kai felt very tricky, because the feeling that he was now very fast and his eyes tingled him to understand that the power of the other party was extremely evil, maybe it was this evil power that made them become what they are now.
