Chapter 35 Finding the Root Cause
Arthur inexplicably fell into the abyss of darkness.
Reacting from the shock, both Steel Bean and Arnold pounced on Arthur where he fell, but when Steel Bean volleyed into the air, he was hit back by the invisible seal again. Arnold reached for Arthur's fall, his hand completely blocked from the seal.
Arnold, Joan, and all the dwarves cautiously groped along the edge of the cliff, and there was not a single gap in the seal, not to mention that the whole person could not penetrate a needle.
Everyone was puzzled, how did Arthur's body suddenly break through the seal and fall in?
"What the hell!" Joan muttered under her breath, still not giving up, throwing a large rain of fire onto the seal, and the flames were naturally blocked without surprise.
"We're waiting for Arthur to find another way into the Dark Abyss, he has a flying ring on his hand, and if he can get in, he should be able to get out. Arnold said to himself and the others.
"He shouldn't be able to get out. Joan raised her palms with a sad face, "He said he had gliding boots, so he lent me the flying ring before he left." ”
This time everyone was dumbfounded.
......
When Arthur fell, he thought that someone was joking with him, but he instantly rejected this possibility, and immediately adjusted his falling posture in the air and activated his gliding technique to slow down the fall.
The distance of a glider had been exhausted, and Arthur's feet were still occupied, so he had to start the glide again, and Arthur's feet touched the ground after four consecutive gliding spells. At this point, I don't know how far away from the cliff I fell from?
Arthur's surroundings were completely dark, and Arthur immediately took out a magic lamp from the space bracelet. The moment the light came on, Arthur was almost so frightened that he threw the lamp away, only to see that there was a dense skeleton all around, most of which were dwarf skeletons, as well as many skeletons of various magical beasts.
The magic lamp that suddenly lit up woke up the entire dark world, and one after another soul fires lit up, like fireflies in the sky, and this dark world was filled with soul fire.
Tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands, Arthur couldn't tell how many necromantic creatures there were in this world.
The skeleton closest to Arthur was already moving, first slowly, with a clattering sound as the bones turned, and then after a few steps, it was faster and rushed towards Arthur.
In terms of speed and agility, these skeletons are not the lowest level of first-level skeleton warriors, and they are already an elite skeleton army in front of them.
Arthur smashed the skeleton in front of him with all his strength, and before he could swing his second sword, the skeleton rushed up from behind and from the side and fell to the ground, and the magic lamp in his hand fell to the ground and shattered, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.
It took a long time for the dark world to regain its calm.
Arthur pushed the shattered skeleton away and stood up from the ground. The moment the skeleton warrior pounced on him, Arthur quickly gathered the dark magic element, allowing the dark aura to cover his body, and the skeleton warrior stopped attacking at the last moment.
Arthur didn't dare to make light again, if it weren't for the fact that he could master dark magic and make these necromantic creatures see themselves as their own kind, even if the strong warriors came in, they would be swallowed by the massive necromantic creatures here.
Without light, Arthur can only release black fog and use the perception of darkness to identify and judge the situation around him.
When Arthur began to cast a wide range of black mist, he realized that the dark element here was several times richer than the outside world, and if he cultivated here, he could raise his dark magic from level four to level six in a short period of time.
But Arthur couldn't stay, Arnold and Joan were definitely still waiting for him, and he had to find a way to get back as soon as possible. In addition, all the problems are in this world, and he must find the root cause of the problem and report the situation here to the Dwarven King.
Arthur resisted the urge to sit down and cultivate, and continued to move forward with the dark perception, heading towards a place where the dark magic element was stronger.
In complete darkness, Arthur didn't know how much time he had walked, but the skeletons became denser and denser the further he went, and all the space was filled with skeletons crammed together, and by the end of the day, Arthur had to step on the skeleton's body forward.
Arthur could no longer step forward, and a dwarf and two huge monsters stood opposite each other in a triangle. One of them was an earth dragon that claimed to be the strongest creature in the underground, and the other was a lava python, and the lava lake of the Earth Furnace Fort was once its habitat, and it was a huge existence like a fire dragon.
All the necromantic creatures distanced themselves from the three skeletons. Arthur wanted to get closer, but the earth dragon skeleton slowly turned its head, and a huge coercion instantly descended on Arthur, as if a pair of eyes directly penetrated Arthur's heart, oppressing him from taking a step forward.
Arthur had already sensed that the location in the middle of the confrontation between the three powerful necromantic creatures was the source of the problem, and all the dark magic elements seeped out of there.
A familiar scene, this is another canyon of sighs, someone has opened up a world rich in dark magic and brought in dark magic elements.
Arthur then shook his head secretly, it wasn't exactly like the Canyon of Sighs. The speed of the influx of dark magic elements here is far less intense than that of the Canyon of Sighs, if the canyon of sighs is a small hole opened by Louis between the two worlds, only a few cracks have appeared here, and the dark magic elements are entering little by little in a very gentle way.
I don't know how many years this has been going on, and if it weren't for the unusual reaction of the fire monkeys, this secret would have continued.
The source of the problem had been found, and Arthur slowly retreated. But new problems arise again, and Arthur is lost here.
Arthur could follow the intensity of the dark magic, but he didn't know how to walk back to the cliff he had fallen from.
The only thing Arthur could do was keep going in one direction and make sure he wasn't spinning in circles.
I don't know how long I walked in the dark, but there was finally no road in front of Arthur, and there was a cliff in front of him.
Arthur's spirit suddenly shook, which means that he has walked back.
Arthur sat down to replenish some food and water, and then began to climb upwards. This rock wall is almost straight up and down, and even for Arthur, a fifth-level martial artist, it is very difficult, and many times Arthur has to use a seventh-level short knife to dig a foothold in the rock to continue upward.
When Arthur finally climbed to the top of the cliff platform, he was almost paralyzed from exhaustion. It was here that Arthur dared to light the magic lamp again, but he froze, and Arno and the dwarves were gone.
After taking a turn around the neighborhood, Arthur realized that although there was almost the same cliff, this was obviously not the place where he had fallen in the first place. If the dark abyss below is circular, then you should be on the opposite side or side of the cliff you are falling down.
Arthur lost the courage to jump back into the dark abyss, turned and walked backwards, perhaps there was another way to meet Arnold or return to the Dwarven Kingdom......
