Chapter Twenty-Six: Lei Yin Mountain

Lei Yin Mountain, to be precise, is located in the south-east direction of the Great Qin Empire, the national boundary of the southeast of the empire is drawn according to Lei Yin Mountain, and the legend is that Lei Yin Mountain is the sea of terror, of course, no one has crossed Lei Yin Mountain, so there is no way to verify.

Although it is a mountain, but the mountains here stretch for hundreds of kilometers, the peaks and clouds stand inside, the terrain is steep, the woods are dense, and there are many fierce beasts, and there are few people who can go to it, and no one can say clearly what is in the specific mountain range, some say that the heavenly spirit and earth treasure inside, is the treasure house of the alchemist, some say that the rare beasts inside, is the paradise of the bounty hunter, and some say that there are countless mountain thieves inside, and it is the holy land of the lawless. And the main peak under the baptism of thunder and lightning all year round, it is rumored that there is a peerless fierce beast sleeping in it, and it is also rumored that prisoners who have violated Shenwei are imprisoned inside. Anyway, because of its unique thunder and lightning characteristics, as well as the legend of the beasts and treasures in the mountains, Lei Yin Mountain attracts countless people to experience, explore, hunt and hunt every year.

Although the Lei Yin Mountains are rich in resources, there are often some fierce beasts on the periphery of the mountain, and they may not be able to eat in the Lei Yin Mountain without a certain strength. There is an endless stream of adventurers who come and go to Lei Yin Mountain every year, but there are only a few ways to enter the mountain safely, among which the official road checkpoint that the empire spent several years to build is the most famous and the most chosen, because near the official road, there is the elite Ninth Army of the empire stationed here on the periphery of the mountain, designing the checkpoint. Naturally, it is conceivable that the army is stationed here, it is not free, such a large army is here, you have to eat, drink and Lazar, and now it is peacetime, there has been no war for more than ten years, and the military salary issued by the empire is naturally not as abundant as in wartime, and all adventurers who enter the mountain from those army garrison posts will pay a part of the money as a toll It has become a custom. Although I don't know if it's the Empire's instructions, or the legion's own regulations, anyway, no one cares about this phenomenon, after all, you have passed through other people's territory, and you have to retreat if you can't deal with it, those beasts are not the masters who are willing to give up, some beasts will always chase and kill the adventurers who anger it, and the adventurers at this time will withdraw to the army's checkpoint to seek shelter, at this time, the garrison of the checkpoint will be sent out to strangle the beasts that dare to cross the border, and the beast defenders and adventurers who are strangled are divided fifty-fifty. Who wouldn't want to pay that little toll?

At the end of the month, it is usually the quietest time to guard the entrance checkpoint, and at this time, there are only two yawning soldiers on duty in the checkpoint nearest to the official road. Of course, they are not to blame for their negligence, because the end of the month is a day for everyone to relax and relax, and almost no one goes into the mountains at this time. The adventuring team will choose this day to return to Wanglei City to rest and replenish, the vendors will also return to the city at the end of the month to take stock of their receipts for the month, and the officers of the army will also go home for vacation at this time, and the small square in front of the checkpoint that is like a market on weekdays is now lonely and empty. There were only two yawning servicemen on duty.

"It's your turn to be on duty again at the end of this month. A soldier with a spear on the left asked a yawning soldier on his right.

"Yes, although I want to rest at the end of the month, I think that I will have a duty fee to be paid at the end of the month, and it doesn't matter if I am hard. After speaking, the soldier on the right patted his mouth again, and it was easy to get sleepy in the early summer night.

"I heard that Level 4 had another accident this month. ”

"Who doesn't know this, four brothers, four merchants, and four adventuring groups died, and this casualty is rare since the establishment of the outpost. ”

"Hey, Death Four, the reason for each accident is not repeated. ”

"I heard that the defenders of the fourth level are ready to evacuate to other levels and give up the entrance level. ”

"It's me and I'll withdraw, you said that you were eating hot pot and singing songs in the stronghold, who would have thought that a huge boulder the size of a house would fall from the sky. ”

"A lot of brothers over there want to come to our level. ”

"That's natural, our checkpoint is the first to open, and there are the most people, and there has never been an accident. ”

"That's nature, you see, go to the mountains within a kilometer of the field of vision, dozens of kilometers are relatively low-level beasts, never heard of beast riots, fierce beasts scattered, all say that we have a good terrain here. ”

"That's nature, you see ahead, even if a beast is coming, they have to run through this kilometer of open land, and before they can run over, they will be shot into hedgehogs by our crossbow arrows. ”

"Our crossbow arrow is specially built by the dwarven craftsman entrusted by the empire, and the cost is too expensive, not to mention a fierce beast, even the powerful people with a noble status in the adventure association above the silver star have to succumb to the divine power of this crossbow arrow. ”

"But I've recently discovered a weakness in this crossbow arrow. ”

"Hey, you kid either sleeps or sleeps on the way to sleep on weekdays, such a powerful weapon can still make you figure out your weaknesses. ”

"You see, this crossbow bolt is good on this strong wall to slow down the cushioning force after it is fired, this is its advantage, but also its disadvantage, if the enemy attacks from the front, it is fine, but if the enemy attacks from the rear, then the crossbow arrow is completely useless. The soldier ignored the taunts of his colleagues and said to himself.

"I thought you had something in mind, it turned out that you thought of this thing, think about it, what kind of enemy can avoid the military defense of Wanglei City in the rear and raid our rear here, there is such an existence that has long been wiped out by the defenders of Wanglei City. ”

"If you want to be like Master Yi. ”

"Rest assured, brother, the Empire does not allow the existence of so many awesomes. The officer was a little stunned, and after pondering for a long time, he said seriously.

Before the two of them could finish speaking, suddenly, a black yin wind flashed not far from them, and disappeared into the darkness of the Lei Yin Mountain in front of them.

Before the two of them could react, they suddenly felt a little light coming from behind, and the two glanced at each other, and when they looked at the light again, the light had already come to the city wall. A scorching sensation baked the cold sweat that had not yet broken out on the two guards, and if this was an enemy, then neither of them would have had a chance to raise the alarm.

The next moment, this bright light disappeared into the woods of Lei Yin Mountain.

"You just.... Just.. Say.. What do you say? Emperor.... Imperial... No.... What is not allowed....." Watching the light disappear, one of the defenders felt that his mouth was dry and he couldn't say anything.

After Mei Lin entered Lei Yin Mountain, she followed the smell of corruption in the air and walked forward, and wherever she passed along the way, the beasts that knew the fun point would avoid these two figures one after the other out of the instinct of survival, and there were also some people who were not long-eyed or uncivilized, and would appear in front of Mei Lin's eyes.

As she gradually deepened, Mei Lin began to worry, and the level of fierce beasts along the way became higher and higher, and gradually demonic beasts appeared. The undead was still scurrying towards the depths of the Thunder Hidden Mountain, and it had not narrowed the distance between the two sides since entering the Thunder Hidden Mountain. Mei Lin felt that there were several powerful murderous aura hidden in the surrounding ancient trees and cliffs, and Mei Lin was not sure if she would be sure to take Lien out safely as she went deeper into Lei Yin Mountain, after all, there were always some legends in such an ancient mountain range.

Hmm, the undead stopped, Merlin was overjoyed, and sped off again.

The fourth level, located in the northwest of the Lei Yin Mountain Range, compared to the open plain of the first level, you can see the cliffs everywhere straight up and down, the original ancient trees with intertwined roots, just from the appearance, this is not the entrance that ordinary people dare to enter. Level 4, located on the outskirts of the mountain and built on two hills, is dilapidated and seems to have been abandoned for a while.

Following these intertwined ancient trees, bypassing those strangely shaped steep mountains, somewhere in the Leiyin Mountain, a figure wearing a hood walked between the rocks, and the figure seemed to be carrying something in his hand, as if he had returned from hunting. The figure skillfully walked through several huge tree roots that stretched to the rocks, walked past a few familiar ancient trees, and suddenly, the figure flashed, hiding behind a rock, looking forward through the rock, there were more than a dozen black shadows of different sizes shaking there not far ahead.
