The process of this crossing is completely different from what has been experienced in the past.

There is no tearing sensation of being stuffed into the monster's mouth and chewing, nor is there the feeling of weightlessness and unreality of passing through a portal for a moment. This time, Shen Yan was like being dragged upside down into a long, slippery and curved tube, and then kept accelerating and accelerating!

Until he felt himself turn into light, into electricity, into elementary particles, and after flying for an infinite amount of time, he suddenly reversed and stopped—from extremely fast speed to extreme stillness! Except psychologically, he did not feel any inertia.

……

Darkness, this is Shen Yan's first feeling of the new world after crossing over.

The "shimmer vision" brought by the elven bloodline can usually give Shen Yan an advantage in the dark, but the shimmer vision still needs light. Elven eyes, though particularly adept at catching light, are useless in sheer darkness.

The environment in front of us profoundly describes what it means to "reach out and lose sight of your fingers".

The good news is that there is more than one way to observe the environment...... After confirming that all his belongings were still there, Shen Yan relaxed slightly, and then opened up all his senses - his nasal cavity first smelled a smell that belonged to earth, the smell was rotten and the oxygen content was insufficient; The tip of his tongue was slightly bitter, and the air clearly contained substances that were not suitable for the human body; No wind was felt on the surface of his skin, indicating that the air flow here was almost stagnant; His mental touch extends unhindered to the front and back, but to the left and right to touch the irregular surface of the wall;

Eventually, his perception of magic told him that although the concentration of magic here was higher than that of the Swan Plane and similar to that of the Fragment of the Ring, it was clearly biased towards negative energy in nature!

That is, depending on the "concentration" of the light, the quality of the air, the location, and so on...... Shen Yan could roughly tell that this should be an ancient passage located deep underground, most likely leading to a certain tomb.

Shen Yan didn't take the liberty of lighting the torch, because the sense of crisis in his heart reminded him that it was not safe nearby, and the phototropism of the creature would make him a target the moment he lit the torch.

*****

Just when Shen Yan was standing in the dark passage, thinking about whether to go left or right, he suddenly heard the sound of a woman's breathing, which appeared within reach of him on his right side!

Shen Yan was shocked! He was absolutely sure that even a millisecond ago, the spot was empty!

Then a woman suddenly appeared in that position - just like the way Shen Yan appeared!

Shen Yan suddenly realized that it was another traverser! It's exactly the same way he crosses!

"What should I do?" Shen Yan hesitated in his heart.

A voice told him, "Relax and be a good person!" At this point, you should joke and say to her, 'Yes, you're the best guy here.'" ”；

But another voice was saying, "What are you hesitating about! Hurry up and kill her! Look around, this is a dark jungle, you must follow the law of the jungle! How do you know if she's malicious?! In case she yells, it will give you tons of danger! ”

Although Shen Yan has evolved from a socialist neo-tender to a boss in society B, his heart has not been completely blackened after all, so he hesitated...... However, just after he hesitated for a second, the other party preemptively helped him make a decision-

The woman shot at him!

Didn't hesitate for a second!

The short sword silently smeared towards Shen Yan's neck - if it was a complex environment like a city, this sneak attack was enough to take the lives of most people. But this is a tunnel where the air is almost solidified, and even if the short sword has slowed down, the flow of gas it brings still can't hide the elf's feeling. Shen Yan raised his head, and the fierce sword slashed against his neck with a slight wind sound! The cold air stains the skin!

The woman then opened her hand, and the dagger spun half a circle in her palm to become a backhand grip. Then she continued to stab hard without hesitation, pointing directly at Shen Yan's heart!

Shen Yan only had time to fight back at this time, and a long sword with a scabbard was raised, picking the blade away.

Shen Yan is good at solving battles from medium and long distances, and the long sword is already his shortest weapon, but this kind of hand-to-hand combat is what he is not good at. Especially in close combat, the most important thing is not skill, but ruthlessness and footwork, obviously the other party is much better than him!

And in order not to cause a chain reaction of hidden dangers around him, Shen Yan couldn't use all the magic with sound and light effects, and he couldn't help the other party for a while! And the woman's arm was close to Shen Yan's body, and the short sword was within an elbow distance, flying up and down around Shen Yan!

Fortunately, Shen Yan's basic attributes, especially his agility, were a lot higher than the other party, allowing him to dodge the blade in an instant that could not be heard! Even so, in the next few minutes, he still suffered several deflated and dangerous!

Fortunately, neither side wants to make a big move in this strange place, and they have to live after killing each other, so they are gritting their teeth and fighting silently! Shen Yan's fist and woman's sword are not far from the other party's vital point every time! If you can't dodge, just use the leather armor on your body to resist! Because if you use metal to block, there will undoubtedly be a crisp impact sound, and it will be worth the loss!

Even if you use leather armor, you have to shake your body to eliminate your strength and sound...... It's arguably the weirdest fight!

Perhaps by this time, the woman already knew that she had hit the wrong person, and that the other party should not be the evil mage who forcibly summoned her - but it was too late! Even if you stop, can you laugh at the grudge? And to go together and support each other? No kidding, who's going to give their back to an enemy who killed themselves a second ago? Once trust is broken, it cannot be rebuilt, so it is better to be wrong!

After fighting for a few more minutes, Shen Yan gradually became familiar with this fighting style, and relied on the advantage of attributes to gain the upper hand.

When the woman realized this, her body suddenly retreated and she became shorter...... Shen Yan was caught off guard, and suddenly lost the other party's lock in the dark!

The woman's fighting experience is too rich, everything is expected by her! At the moment before Shen Yan found her, she had already rushed into Shen Yan's arms with a fit in her body, and while her body was wide open and completely gave up her defense, she held the hilt of the short sword with both hands and stabbed Shen Yan's throat with all her might!

However, just like Shen Yan didn't know her, she didn't know Shen Yan either—just in this moment, Shen Yan didn't do nothing. He silently unleashed his "Dancing Shield", levitating the shield backwards in front of his throat. The shield is usually multi-layered, and even if it is a metal irise, only the front is metal, the back is wood, the middle is filled with wood chips, and the inner layer is lined with soft leather.

The woman sealed her throat with a knife, apparently so that Shen Yan could not make a sound before she died. So before she could notice the anomaly, the blade had pierced into the soft object inside the shield, and the blade was caught in the shield.

Just as her stunned flashed, Shen Yan suddenly exploded! A hand ran through the woman's arm and locked her throat, keeping her from speaking; The other hand was against the woman's chest, and the elbow was outward, and her arm was violently folded in the opposite direction!

The woman closed her eyes in pain...... If you make a mistake, you will lose everything.

She bit her lip and was about to bear the pain of her broken arm, but the other party stopped abruptly! The elbow that was holding her arm didn't continue to exert force, but the big hand that grabbed her chest clenched it again.

The woman's face was flushed, and bad thoughts welled up in her heart, could it be that he wanted to ......

Although she was not afraid of death, she was very afraid of losing her body inexplicably, and the woman couldn't help but panic. In her position, even if there is magic that cannot be formed into a magic seal, it cannot be released...... She could only snatch back the hand that was still holding the short sword, if not kill the other party, at least kill herself!

However, at this moment, she felt the man approach, and asked in a very small voice in her ear, "Catherine?" ”

Catherine was stunned...... This voice, she will never forget until she dies! At this moment, her mood was like a wave, and the rest of her life after the catastrophe made her lose her strength. Her hands and body were limp, and her dagger fell.

A hand that grasped her let go, and caught the sword firmly in the darkness.

Shen ...... Speech? Is that you? Catherine asked in a trembling voice.

"It's me!" Shen Yan knew that there was no room for jokes at this time, so he replied seriously in his own voice, and let go of his hand.

"Whew~" Catherine let out a sigh, and without saying a word, she turned around and threw herself into Shen Yan's arms! Inexplicably came to a strange and dark environment, inexplicably fought silently with someone, and when he was about to die, he found that the other party was a long-time crush, is there anything more exciting than this?

The two hugged each other silently, no one wanted to speak, and silence was better than sound at this time.

However, if there is a third party on the scene, it must be asked.

"Big breasted brother, so you can recognize Catherine? Who did you learn this trick of 'grasping the chest and recognizing women'! I want to learn to criticize ......"

*****

"Why are you here?"

The two of them asked the most important questions at the same time.

Shen Yan knew that this eighty percent was his own pot again, but he was still extremely puzzled in his heart - breaking into the fate of others is not a trivial matter at hand, first of all, the premise is that the protagonist of fate has an extremely strong desire to change his own fate! Secondly, he has to make a formal wish to the "god of fate" or non-existent being, and wants to pay whatever it takes to reverse this fate.

Satisfy these two prerequisites, and then Shen Yan can preemptively take this prayer in front of the non-existent "God of Destiny".

On the premise of helping the other party reverse their fate, he jumped into the river of the other party's fate - he actually did not break in by himself, but was pulled in.

Now the question is...... Why did she operate the space-time altar to travel by herself, and Catherine, who was far away in Green Horn Bay, or even across a world, would be pulled over? If he doesn't figure this out, I'm afraid he won't be able to start the journey easily next time.

Fortunately, people who study magic never shy away from accidents, find problems and solve them.

Now is not the time to say this, Shen Yan put his arm around Catherine, and waited for her to calm down before whispering, "I'm not sure what this place is, but I can feel that there is a lot of danger around, we need to leave quickly." ”

"I can't see anything...... I was pulled into the teleportation at the training ground, with only training armor and a short sword with me. Catherine said quickly, at this time, she should share the situation as soon as possible to make Shen Yan clear, instead of being reckless and causing more trouble alone.

Under normal circumstances, a mercenary who is ready and fully armed is twice as powerful as a trained mercenary! What's more, after Catherine's demonization awakened, she is still a half-hung warlock.

"Follow me, I can see something a little, I'll take you out." It was difficult to explain the perception and spiritual touch, and Shen Yan simply said that he could see it.

As he spoke, Shen Yan handed over one of the two long swords, metal braided armor, a pulley bow, and a quiver to Catherine, which was equivalent to distributing half of the equipment. Catherine didn't hesitate to arm herself first - she knew that holding a short sword would only become a drag, and she still had a wealth of experience for Shen Yan to refer to, so there was no need to consider which of the two was more important. What the?

You said that they were asking for each other's lives just now, how can they establish a relationship of trust now? Didn't you say yes before?

Ahem, this is love and killing!

Who can tell what about dogs and men......

*****

Next left or right, it's a question again.

Gone wrong, God knows how deep this cave is?

Even if you are persistent, you never know if this perseverance is getting closer and closer to hope, or going farther and farther away.

Shen Yan tried to find out the answer from the air humidity, the direction of the airflow, and so on, but there was no difference between the two ends of the cave at a distance of twenty steps. Just when he was at a loss, Catherine gave the answer, "This way!" She whispered in one direction.

When Shen Yan was experimenting with science, Catherine had been touching the walls and found some scratches on the walls. The passage is walked, and the scratches indicate the direction in which they are walking - the marks made by the weapon on the wall are usually deep and shallow - and the average person only leaves a mark on the wall to prevent getting lost when they go deep into the tunnel. Don't be in a hurry when you leave.

After figuring it out, Shen Yan shook Catherine's hand and gave it a thumbs up, and Catherine smiled...... Mercenaries do everything, but that's experience, sometimes it's better than anything.

…… Then they didn't let go of their hand, and walked slowly together in the direction they had left.

(Doesn't the great virtue see?) Should. ）

This road is dark and long, with broken stones, coiled roots, and potholes of dirt under your feet, which can trip you up at any time! Both had to be extremely careful not to make a single sound.

However, there was a tacit understanding between the two of them, and just by the power of the hand she was holding, Catherine could guess what was ahead...... In fact, Shen Yan couldn't see anything, he almost used the talent and perception of the elves to the extreme, plus the assistance of magic perception, Shen Yan could walk on this road like he did during the day.

And this road is not without danger, in fact, danger is everywhere!

They could hear the crawling of creatures everywhere, and their size sounded huge. There are also areas where the negative energy suddenly thickens, those vast halls - I'm afraid that there are a lot of undead creatures gathered inside!

These are all avoided one by one......

Creatures that live in the dark usually have "dark vision", can see infrared rays, and humans are like walking light bulbs in their eyes. Undead creatures can sense the radiation of the breath of life and are automatically awakened. But humanity is also advancing, and the slightly more experienced mercenaries have learned the art of restraining their breath and insulating their body temperature, so the confrontation between the two sides eventually returns to sound and sight.

……

Catherine's hand felt Shen Yan shake it hard twice - there were a large number of undead in front of him!

Shen Yan led her into the distance. Catherine was a little envious, she could only barely feel some cold aura, but Shen Yan could accurately perceive that "boundary", which was probably the difference between Ye Luzi and a professional magician.

The two of them seemed to be moving against the wall of the hall, looking like they were about to bypass the group of undead creatures about half the distance...... That's it!

"Boom" with a loud bang!

The stone door of this hall was suddenly pushed open from the outside! And a few bright torches appeared in the world outside the door! By the way, some of the situations in the hall are illuminated.

I bought a watch last year...... I saw no less than a few hundred undead warriors in the center of the hall, wearing rusty metal armor and holding shields and swords in their hands, and they had begun to wake up one after another...... Shen Yan grabbed Catherine's hand and turned around and ran!

However, at this time, there was another sound of "呑"-

A "flare" crossed the hall and flew over the heads of the two, illuminating everything brightly!

also exposed Shen Yan and Catherine to all the undead.
