Chapter 172: Piercing the Valley
Actually, there is one thing that the bearded man did not say.
That is, the Iron Curtain of the Firmament is lining up the entrances to the outer realms and increasing the suffering of other regions. It is also because the Tower of the Firmament extracts the energy from the surrounding leylines and free, causing a place like Southern Xinjiang that is close to the Iron Curtain to become a place where some dangerous creatures and strange beings are unwilling to haunt.
At the same time, for similar reasons, the Longkou Fortress located in the pass also largely blocked the powerful biological threat from the Longduan Mountain Range.
Some things are so miraculous, while the Iron Curtain of the Sky has brought misfortune to southern Xinjiang, it has also greatly reduced the threat to other aspects of southern Xinjiang. But as the descendant of the governor, he is naturally opposed to the empire itself, and the bearded man obviously will not take the initiative to explain this.
The students were not given the opportunity to visit the city below in the middle of the lake.
After the sergeants of the Iron Mountain Legion left the airship with everyone, they walked directly onto the huge stone bridge leading to the fortress.
It is not correct to say that it is a stone bridge.
Because it was a huge hollow reef with several places, like a foot growing out of a fortress, cutting into the foot of the fortress with a huge waterfall that roared down.
As if climbing a mountain, the crowd listened to the rumbling sound of the water, and faced the mist-like vapor that blew from time to time, and walked along the repaired and leveled reef bridge to the foot of the fortress. Finally, enter an obsidian door that has been open for a long time.
As the stone door behind him closed, the roar of the waterfall in the air was silent, and everyone seemed to have stepped into another time and space.
The faint yellow energy lampposts are like two road leads, clinging to the thick walls and winding up the stone steps, leading to the 100-meter-high artificial city wall.
Step by step, when Luo Xia drilled out of the staircase and stood on the top of the fortress, he saw a scene that he would never forget.
On the top of the fortress hundreds of meters wide, on one side, is a bright spring scene surrounded by lakes and cities, green mountains and green waters, and fertile fields and green words.
On the other side is a huge dark canyon shrouded in mist, a mysterious force absorbs the endless mist, and discharges it like a whale swallowing it into the towering stone walls on both sides, and the condensed water flows down like a curtain of water, and finally converges into tiny rivers, pouring into the huge fissures under the fortress, turning into a huge waterfall on the other side.
The strange thing is that these tiny rivers are not shaped, as if they will change direction out of thin air at any time, like small snakes suppressed on the ground by some force...
"See the stream outside?"
As the leader of the team, the bearded man explained to all the students: "You are in the fortress, so you can't feel it, but if you stand in the canyon, it won't take long for you to be blown to pieces by the huge wind pressure!" ”
Luo Xia looked up, only to find that there was no mysterious power to absorb the mist. Instead, it came from the huge wind pressure above the canyon that was unknown how high, and the fog gushing out of the canyon was pressed into water vapor and stuck to the huge rock wall, and then turned into small rivers!
And the reason why those small rivers are dancing like silver snakes is also based on the irregular movement caused by the wind pressure being too perverted!
"Shhhh
Once again, his strength skyrocketed, and Luo Xia, who thought that he would be able to roar in southern Xinjiang in the near future, felt his own insignificance.
"I warn you, in the Wind Gathering Belt, anyone who leaves the magic energy drive without permission will be at their own risk!"
With the bearded man's warning, the crowd was brought to several huge blue-black spheres. These spheres, Luo Xia was a little familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, he remembered that this thing was similar to the magic energy driving ball under the feet of the Alchemy Tower puppet.
The otherworldly version of the magnetic levitation self-propelled drive?
The surface of the huge sphere is smooth and circular, but from the outside, there are blue energy stripes, which appear and disappear, like mysterious patterns engraved on the surface of the sphere.
As the crowd approached, the orb cracked through the middle of a door-like opening.
One by one, the students jumped into it with curiosity, and finally found that it was a platform-like space with solid seats that blended into the walls.
The space inside is very small, a ball, about 20 people can sit, just right against the unusually thick 'wall' in a circle.
From the inside, you can vaguely see the outside through the dense 'crack'-like material.
"No..."
Under the command of the sergeant accompanying the team, Luo Xia sat on the seat and put the seat belt, and suddenly had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, after a buzzing tidal wave of energy echoed, the huge sphere that everyone was riding on began to roll...
The students sitting there glanced at each other, and all of them turned pale.
The next moment, as if being pushed by someone, the 3 magic energy driving balls rolled violently towards the suspension outside the fortress!
The Longkou Fortress built on the mountain is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, and the lower part is a solid mountain with an oblique slope. Three huge black balls fell from the sky, but they never touched the mountain.
The huge speed and huge weight, under the action of the complex magic energy matrix, seem to achieve an exaggerated effect like magnetic levitation with the earth. The powerful waves that roared through and stirred up left a trail of black light on the solid mountain path, as if the rocks had been scorched.
The thrill of free fall frightened this group of teenagers in southern Xinjiang to scream again and again. Even the real man who was unwilling to scream was stimulated to the point that his face turned pale.
Several sergeants, old fritters, fixed themselves tightly on their chairs, looking at these young teenagers with a playful expression.
The imaginary world turned in the dark, and the violent collision did not happen.
With the decrease in speed, the magic energy driving ball seemed to trigger some kind of mechanism, and slowly fell into the canyon, in just a few tens of seconds, looking back, it was actually several kilometers away from Longkou Fortress!
Luo Xia's chest was pounding, as if he had experienced the feeling of jumping from a building hundreds of meters high.
It's so exciting!
I want to do it again!
But apparently, this is impossible.
The Exorcism began to roll slowly forward, crunching the ground. But the people inside are like sitting on a small boat, only slightly fluctuating and trembling. For the elite students of the other world who have explosive physical fitness, this shaking can be ignored at all.
The speed of the magic exorcism ball rolling is not fast, but it is not slow, the huge sphere is circled every few seconds, and one circle is 3,50 meters, although it is not as good as the car on the highway in the previous life, but in this rugged canyon, it is also smooth and abnormal.
Everyone couldn't wait, but they unlocked the safety lock on their bodies, and lay down in the gaps in the energy inside to watch the scenery outside.
Barren, gloomy, and filled with gray mist, the occasional flying stone smashed into the shell of the magic exorcism ball like a meteor, stirring up sporadic sparks. The sound of the subsequent collision reached the interior like the crisp sound of peas falling on a plate.
The canyon widens and the wind weakens. And the sergeant who controlled the magic exorcism ball in the small compartment above everyone's head became solemn and nervous.
Together, everyone is full of fear of unknown crises. Most of these young people have never been out of southern Xinjiang, and they have been broken a lot of common sense in one day, and they no longer dare to hold the arrogant mentality of the eldest and my second.
The kind of wind pressure in front of the fortress alone made most of them fearful, and they could only hope that the sergeants of the Iron Mountain Army could be more reliable.
Simply, because of the importance of the Longduan Mountain Pass, both in southern Xinjiang and in the empire, it is very important. Strong people will be sent to patrol and clean up regularly. Coupled with the fact that the sergeants were well aware of the environment and the harsh conditions that could arise, the journey that followed was full of accidents and encountered some very terrifying natural disasters.
But under the strong defense of the Demon Exorcism, and the shelter of the shelters along the way. On the afternoon of the second day, the young people of the Seven Martial Arts Academy finally walked out of this terrifying path safely.
Looking back, although it was only a one-and-a-half-day journey, everyone understood why ordinary people could not pass between southern Xinjiang and the empire. There are no magic exorcisms and sufficiently familiar guides, and shelters are located here and there. Even the strong people at the vertical and horizontal levels can only rely on luck to pass, let alone encounter some terrifying creatures...
Unlike the Dragon's Pass Fortress on the other side, the closer it got to the empire, the higher the terrain became, and the brighter the environment became, and in the end, even the black fog that had long shrouded the canyon gradually dispersed.
By the time the Demon Exorcism came to the final valley mouth, Luo Xia could even see a huge eagle soaring between the cliffs with no end in sight at a height of several thousand meters.
The blue sky and white clouds gradually enter the eyes. The wind and the sun are beautiful, and the flowers are green. The two sides of a hundred-mile canyon show completely different, even diametrically opposed, two styles...
A trace of jealousy does not know why it arises from the bottom of everyone's hearts.
It's not just because of the environment, it's because of the magic energy that is everywhere in the air...
Rich in magical energy.
The Iron Curtain...
It turns out that there is also this benefit.
Growing up in such an environment, everyone is confident that they can be five points stronger out of thin air!
Not to mention, those precious materials and Warcraft resources, there is no doubt that they will be easier to conceive in an excellent environment.
"It's not fair..."
"Why..."
Someone was muttering.
But more people don't think so, the teenagers in southern Xinjiang are bitter, and they have already created a tenacious heart, although there are grievances, but more are still self-confidence.
"It's not a big deal, one side of the water and soil supports the other side. People who grew up in such a comfortable and rich place may not even have the courage to hold a knife, hahaha..."
Luo Xia smiled, but he didn't take it seriously.
Those who are really at the top cannot be affected by the environment. An excellent environment will only produce stronger opponents than bubbles, so why deceive yourself?
Now, the only thing he wants to do is to buy the missing materials he needs in the imperial capital.
"Master, the puppet consciousness has absorbed a total of 1.2 units of soul power this month under the effect of the Soul Gathering Array. In order to reach the bottleneck state, it can no longer be strengthened until the bloodline is fully advanced. ”
"How long will it take?"
"It's expected to be about half a year."
Half?
It's too slow.
Ordinary people are all puppet magic stones, and the bloodline is conceived and nurtured by the master's essence blood or strength, and they are currently advanced and then fed back to their bodies.
But Luo Xia, with the consciousness between life and death and the stimulation of the power of the resentful beast by chance, awakened the bloodline first in the impossible.
Causes progress to exceed the Golem Stone.
The embarrassment is embarrassing, although it is exceeded, but because of the overdraft of the strength, it will be the end of the blood vein.
If you want to rely on the golem magic stone feedback, you have to wait for it to complete its evolution.
"So, let's put together a list of ingredients according to the recipe. I hope it can really stimulate the Eye of True Knowledge in the magic stone and evolve directly..."
