Chapter 16: The Remnant

"Everyone has the right to decide their own destiny, the choice is yours......

...... Poofhahaha! It's hilarious, isn't it? Speak in such a serious way to learn my tone! When the two of them could barely see the shore behind them, Viklico suddenly began to imitate what Draenor had said earlier, and burst into laughter.

Draenor's face flushed, and he hurriedly explained, "That's... So what? I'm right, didn't you talk to her for a long time before! โ€

"Tease you! Hahaha, anyway, she should have a good introspection, it depends on whether she plans to make an effort to leave the beach. Vicky said.

"So, how do we find that beaver burrow next?" Draenor said again.

"Huh? Go now? Vikli was surprised,

"It's outrageous to go now, first of all, we have very few tools to use, and it's not an exhibition caravan, it's a nest of robbers and traffickers! No matter how strong you are, there is no difference between a gun and a sword and a bare hand. โ€

"Tsk, that makes sense."

Indeed, Draenor also knew in his heart that it was already a needle in a haystack to find a cave in the forest like this, not to mention that the supplies and equipment of the two could not support them to confront the robbers of the beaver cave.

"Besides... Dressed like this, do you think the other survivors will feel comfortable following you..."Vicilico pointed to Draenor's body, and he realized that in addition to the rag dress that Vicilico had been wearing, he himself was also wearing a wild boar skin that he had caught from the mountains a few days ago, and this primitive dress made him cry and laugh himself.

"And what now?" Draenor asked.

"I've had some influence on this coast, I used to come here on horseback with my father when I was a kid. If I'm not mistaken, we should be on the outskirts of the state of Vanselella, north of the city. โ€

Viklico went on to say,

"Fancellilla is a state in the Empire of Nikanlos that sits in a canyon. My alma mater, Le Windry, is there, and it's safe and well-stocked. We can go there first, get ready and get ready, and if we're lucky, we'll probably find clues about the cave. โ€

"It's a good plan, but there are still two questions, how can we get to the Grand Canyon and how many days will it take us to prepare?" Draenor pondered.

"You don't have to worry about that, the Misarians only need to live in one place for more than one year to remember the magnetic field of that environment, exactly the location of my old dormitory in Le Windry. That way, even if we were to get there on foot, it would only take us two days. โ€

Seeing that Vicky could explain so confidently, Draenor gradually saw hope in his heart.

"Okay, then let's go, go to what you said...... Grand canyon. โ€

The two of them gradually stepped into the depths of the forest. Strangely, Draenor found that there were almost no animals in this forest for some reason, and after nearly three hours of hiking, there was not even a single insect nearby. And with each step forward, the sunlight visible to the naked eye seems to dim a little.

"I said, what the hell is this place. Didn't you notice that we hadn't seen a living creature until now? Draenor finally couldn't help but ask.

"It's a good sign, pretty good."

Vicky said.

"We're about to reach the northern barrier."

"The Northern Barrier?" Draenor didn't expect to have to go through some barrier to enter the Grand Canyon.

"That's right, hundreds of years ago, in order to defend against the invasion of the southern beasts, our ancestors specially erected the Great House of Lourdes carved with runes between the main roads of the northern realm."

Vikily crouched on the ground and simply sketched a map for Draenor with a wooden stick.

"The power of the Pillar of Lourdes is very strong, and it is made from the magic mines of the north. There are a total of twelve stone pillars, interconnected to each other, making it impossible for the terrifying nocturnal beasts to get close. However, due to the radiation of the magic mine, no creatures within four hundred meters of the stone pillar could survive, and only the plants were nourished by the radiation and became extremely thick and dense. โ€

Draenor suddenly felt a little unwell when he heard this, and Viklico quickly explained:

"But no matter what kind of animal, including people, as long as you don't stay around the Pillar of Lourdes for more than four hours, it won't be too much of a problem."

As soon as he finished speaking, Draenor seemed to hear the roar of some monster.

"Shh He immediately stood still, listening alertly to the movements around him.

"Did you hear that?"

"What's that? I didn't hear it, are you already hallucinating? Vicky said she wasn't impressed.

"No, you probably didn't notice what you've been talking before, I'm sure I heard something."

No sooner had Draenor finished speaking than a pungent smell of putref swept through the depths of the woods, enveloping the two of them.

"It stinks...... Vicky Ke immediately pinched her nose.

Just before Draenor lifted the box and was about to draw his sword, a large humanoid creature fell from the treetops and landed in front of the two of them.

The ape-like body is elongated, covered with long black hair, and has a fierce head like a hyena on its neck. Although there were no terrifying leather wings behind him, Draenor recognized at a glance what this ugly demon was.

"Screaming Demon!" Viklico shouted. "How did they end up here? Isn't this near the barrier? โ€

"Does this beast have a scientific name? Shouldn't they have disappeared after that Sky Strike! Draenor shouted at Vikiriko as he drew his firearm and pulled the trigger at the Screaming Demon.

Draenor turned around and followed Vicilly into the enchantment, occasionally turning and firing at the beasts that kept appearing behind him. Immediately after the bullet pierced one, a new beast struck.

"It's useless! There are too many of them, and killing a few with silver bullets is a drop in the bucket! Vickiriko shouted to Draenor.

"This thing is a silver bullet!?"

"I told you it was expensive!"

The two rushed out of the thorny jungle and finally saw a huge stone pillar more than 100 meters high.

"Hold on to me!" Vicchirico suddenly jumped in front of Draenor and held out a hand to him, which Draenor immediately reached out and held tightly.

โ€œSilyeno Kalva๏ผโ€

Vickyli can shout a mysterious spell. Draenor saw a pale blue glow gradually light up around them.

Vekily leaped forward with the force she almost dragged Draenor into flight. With a roar, the two fell to the ground.

Before Draenor could figure out what was going on, he opened his eyes and saw that the terrifying beasts seemed to have crashed into something, frozen in the air. Black smoke rises from them, which then gradually dissipates into the air.

"Whew... We're coming....." Vikily let out a long sigh as she saw the monsters dissipate, leaning her head against the ground.

Draenor looked to the side and saw that the tall stone pillars had fallen behind them.

Finally passed the barrier.

"What kind of spell did you just shout?" Draenor asked.

"Testimonials.... Ancient Misalaan, similar to the sesame open door.... Whew, whew. Vicky replied breathlessly.

"If the Screaming Demon can also use this spell, can it come too?" Draenor asked.

"No, the enchantment will only purify the nocturnal beasts, and other creatures can pass through. I just shouted that just to have a sense of ceremony, hehehehe....."

"I.... But then again, you're going to be tired and out of breath, right? Draenor felt a little depressed.

"It's really rude, where does it come from to do muscle exercises without breathing oxygen?" Vicky explained it as a matter of course.

"This is not a good sign, I didn't expect that the beasts would still have remnants so far away from Hecheng. What's more, the beasts that were most afraid of the enchantment actually wandered around the enchantment....."

Vickily felt like some kind of disaster was about to befall her, and her expression suddenly became serious.

"Let's figure it out when we're done with all this, they won't be able to get through for a while." Draenor proposed.

"Yes." Vicilico stood up, and she reached out to Draenor, who was still half-lying on the ground,

"Let's hit the road, we don't have much time left."
