The torrential rain poured down, and soon at the bottom of the bowl-shaped pit with a diameter of 100 meters, ankle-deep stagnant water was formed, submerging the six-pointed star array at the bottom of the pit.

When the three-meter-tall black-armored giant first appeared, it could still emit an invisible force field on its body, repelling all the rain that fell on him. But soon, the invisible force field vanished, and the rain poured down on him without hindrance.

The faintly flickering divine light in his eyes also quickly converged, turning back into a pair of red eyes as red as blood.

And the dozen or so men and women of different heights behind him were drenched in soup almost the moment they came.

Behind the black-armored giant, a woman let out a low cry, and the rain under her feet suddenly rippled layer by layer, crawling towards her lap like life. But as soon as she reached her ankle, the water burst apart with a thud.

"The environment here is really harsh, and even the basic element of water cannot be driven." The woman frowned and said with a depressed face: "In this case, my strength will be suppressed by at least thirty percent." ”

In the crowd, a big man who was more than two meters tall, his muscles were almost growing to his face, and his smooth head was tattooed with a black totem, and he said in a humming voice: "My ancestral spirit totem is also bound to death and can't provide me with too many blessings. I also lost at least thirty percent of my strength. ”

"I can't perceive the existence of shadows, and all the stealth abilities related to shadows cannot be used."

A middle-aged man with a thin body and a short sword hanging from his waist wiped the water droplets from his chin with a gloomy face, and said in a deep voice: "This makes me feel terrible, as if I have returned to the era of twenty years ago, when I was just a pure technical assassin. ”

The dozen men and women, more or less, all complained a few words about the harsh environment here.

Although they had been mentally prepared for this long before they set off, they still felt a strong sense of discomfort when their extraordinary abilities had already been used as if they were instinctive, and the sudden suppression of them almost completely disappeared.

The black-armored giant didn't say a word, waited for everyone behind him to complain for a while, raised his feet and walked out of the submerged six-pointed star array, and walked towards the outside of the pit.

The people hurriedly followed, and left the bottom of the pit with him.

After going out, an elven woman with a long bow on her back, an arrow bag at her waist, slender legs, delicate facial features, a cold expression, and long pure golden hair, with pale golden eyes, looked around carefully for a while through the white rain curtain, and said to the black-armored giant:

"Your Highness, the extraordinary power has been suppressed, and the torrential rain has completely destroyed the surrounding traces, and I can't lock the tracks of Kratos and the others in this situation. We're afraid we won't be able to find them anytime soon. ”

Not only this legendary hunter of the High Elf clan could not find the trace of the target in this environment.

In the team, several legendary assassins, hunters, and barbarians with rich tracking experience also spoke, lamenting that the rain was too heavy, and the traces of the scene and the surrounding area had already been completely destroyed, making it impossible for them to track them.

The black-armored giant remained silent, watched left and right for a while, and walked forward again.

The people behind him hurriedly followed.

Not long after, this group of more than a dozen people, led by the black-armored giant, came to a stream.

At this time, the stream can no longer be called a stream.

The stream, which was originally crystal clear and only about one meter wide, turned into a roaring yellow torrent more than ten meters wide in the torrential rain.

After seeing the turbid torrent, the black-armored giant did not hesitate, turned around, followed the torrent, and went downstream.

Everyone looked at each other for a while, and they all had some doubts in their hearts:

Walking along the water is of course common sense to find human settlements, but Kratos and others have done shocking crimes, and even killed gods incarnated as blasphemers and peerless murderers.

Do they really act according to common sense patterns?

What if they were not in a hurry to come into contact with the natives of their own plane, but instead went the opposite way, away from the river, and deliberately crossed the mountains and took the mountain road?

Then walking along the river, wouldn't it be to completely lose Kratos and the others?

Several legendary powerhouses who boasted of being experienced in tracking were muttering to themselves.

However, the incarnations of the gods who led the team had all made a decision, and they didn't dare to say anything, so they could only follow closely.

……

Rainstorms come and go as fast as they come.

After spending more than an hour in the cave, the torrential rain gradually turned into a drizzling rain.

Seeing that the rain had become lighter, the sky was much brighter, and it was no longer as gloomy as before, Wang Zheng decided not to stay any longer and set off immediately.

He took out a few transparent raincoats from the space backpack and gave one to Ah Qing and the others.

Then he picked up the iron box of the mecha, looked at the footprints and other traces left by the people in the cave, frowned and thought for a while, but did not make any moves to clean up the traces, and walked straight out of the cave with the iron box on his back.

Ah Qing, Chun Li, and Mulan followed him closely, and Sainz and Heath Cote also put on raincoats and followed quickly.

The crowd braved the light rain, stepped on the mud soaked by the rain, and walked along the stream one foot deep and one foot shallow.

After more than an hour, they saw that the roaring torrent had rushed into a wide river.

The waters of the river on the banks of the great river have been stirred into a muddy yellow color by the torrent into it.

But through the thin rain curtain, you can still see the green water in the middle of the river, which gives people a sense of freshness.

"With such a big river, there will definitely be many human settlements along its banks, and maybe you can see big cities!" Heathcot said excitedly, "Your Excellency, I think we should soon see the real way. ”

Wang Zheng nodded, led the team along the river, walked for another hour, and after crossing a series of small hills, he found a dirt road with ruts and hoof prints.

……

"Your Highness, someone has stayed here."

In the cave where Wang Zheng and the others were resting before, Alderea, the legendary hunter of the High Elf Clan, after carefully observing the environment in the cave, said to the black-armored giant:

"There were six of them. Judging from the shoe prints, it should be three men and three women. One of them was a man with a very heavy piece of luggage. The other two men, who were supposed to be wearing robes—the cave floor, with traces of dust dragging from the corners of their robes.

"In addition, there are three pairs of shoe prints, and the pattern style is very peculiar, which is very different from the style of our world. The pattern of the other two pairs of shoe prints is the style of boots in our world. The last shoe print is the Iron Boots......

"Based on these traces, it is basically certain that the six people who stayed in the cave were Kratos and his party, including the two traitors."

Speaking of this, she looked at the black-armored giant with reverence: "Your Highness, under your leadership, we have found the traces of the blasphemers!" ”

For a while, everyone praised the black-armored giant, and they secretly questioned several legends of the black-armored giant before, and in addition to praising them, they couldn't help but have a fever on their old faces.

The black-armored giant still didn't say a word, his blood-colored eyes swept slightly into the cave, turned around and walked out of the cave, and continued downstream along the stream that had gradually calmed down after the rain had calmed down, but was still yellow.

After traveling for more than half an hour, everyone arrived in front of the river.

Because the rain had already turned into a drizzle, it was no longer enough to completely wash away the tracks, and the pursuers in the team easily found the traces left by Kratos and the others, and followed the trails to chase away.

Before you know it, the drizzle stops.

The clouds gradually dispersed, the sun had set, and the time had reached evening.

The black-armored giants and their party had set foot on the dirt road full of ruts and hoof prints.

Alderia and other professional hunters still easily found the footprints with special patterns mixed with ruts and hoof prints, and chased along this muddy road, which was a little muddy, but many times better than in the mountains.

kilometers away.

On a wooded hill hundreds of meters high.

Wang Zheng was six people, each with a military binocular, looking at the black-armored giant who was not hurried or slow, his posture was calm, but his speed was faster than that of a galloping horse, and behind him there were more than a dozen figures of men and women, different heights and different races.

"The black-armored giant in the lead is 'Hercules' Heenglek!"

Sainz held up his binoculars, stood behind a bush, stared intently at the group that was fading away, and said:

"He's really just a demigod and doesn't have a priesthood, 'Hercules' is just an honorific title for him. It is supposed—it is simply supposedly, that Hercules is the illegitimate son of the God of War. When he was a baby, he once strangled two hungry wolves, and when he was only three years old, he was as tall as an average child when he was ten years old, and he could tear apart tigers and giant bears with his bare hands......

At the age of twelve, his height had surpassed that of an ordinary adult strong man, and he began to travel to the mainland, and in just three years, he made a great reputation and became a famous adventurer and hero in the mainland.

"When he was twenty-eight years old, he ignited the divine fire and became a demigod. Legend has it that compared to melee combat alone, the incarnation of ordinary medium-strength gods is not his opponent. The only flaw is that his spell abilities are very weak, and on several occasions, he has been teased by gods who are far inferior to him in melee combat, but whose spells are powerful.

"It is said that he barely had any magical abilities before he lit the divine fire. It wasn't until he became a demigod that he got several spells that every demigod would obtain.

"Hercules is a reticent man, and he doesn't say three words a day unless absolutely necessary. He believed that strong fists are the truth, and believed that true warriors should not use weapons. Therefore, although Hercules wore armor, he did not use any weapons.

"Legend has it — well, unfounded legend — that Hercules was armoured, not to protect his body, but to restrain his too great power. Once he removed his armor, it meant that he had liberated all his power. ”

After listening to Sainz's introduction to the black-armored giant, Wang Zheng chuckled:

"Hercules, who lacks magical abilities but is extremely strong in hand-to-hand combat? Oh, the efficiency of the gods' actions is really commendable, and they actually sent such a targeted pursuer so quickly...... What about the others? What are the origins? ”
