Chapter 1651: Stone Gate
The next day, the Demon Hunting Conference continued, and the location of the second competition was directly into the depths of the Gray Mistlands.
When Her Majesty's envoy finally led the warriors to a stone gate that stood above the sky, Zou Dui saw an indescribably tall Garuda warrior.
The tall Garuda warrior had been guarding the stone gate for an unknown amount of time, her long, messy hair dragging to the ground in front of her, and a giant sword about her height in her hand. There is nothing on the big sword, there are no complicated patterns and symbols, it can be said that it is purely a sword-shaped piece of iron, but the huge and full of heaviness like a small mountain makes people dare not underestimate this big sword at all.
The Land of Grey Mist was as dead silent as ever, not even the wind blew, even more so in its depths. This made this tall Garuda warrior look like a standing stone statue, standing still, even if Zou Dui and the others approached, she still didn't have the slightest reaction, as if she didn't notice someone coming.
"Old sister, we haven't seen each other in a hundred years, and you're still so cold. But I'm glad to see that you're still alive and well. ”
Her Majesty's envoy didn't bother to smile, and the words spoken to the tall Garuda warrior revealed a kind of kindness.
"Hmm...... It's you......"
The stone-carved Garuda warrior finally reacted, and slowly turned her head to look at the messenger and the warriors who had come from afar behind her.
Zou Dui watched the tall Garuda warrior turn his head, and somehow, the image in his mind turned out to be a rusty machine struggling to turn, and his ears seemed to hear the screeching sound of "squeak, squeak, squeak".
Zou Dui's gaze moved with some toothache, and he saw that the feet of the tall Garuda warrior had been buried in a thick layer of sand. The sand was obviously formed by the slow deposition of dust from the Gray Mist Land, and considering that there was almost no wind in the Gray Mist Land, and there were no footprints around her at all, it was clear that she had been staying here motionless, I don't know how long.
"yes, it's me. How's it going, is the situation okay here?"
Her Majesty's emissary looked around, "Everything looks the same, not the slightest change from the last time I came. I hope this calm will continue forever......"
The tall Garuda warrior shook his head slowly, his head like an old pendulum: "You may be disappointed...... On the surface, nothing seems to have changed, but these days are not peaceful. ”
As he spoke, the gaze of the tall Garuda warrior finally turned back to the door. Zou Dui quietly looked carefully, and could see her eyes and expressions worried through the gaps in her long dusty hair.
"It's not calm, has something happened?"
The envoy was surprised, and his expression became solemn, "I haven't seen any changes along the way, everything seems to be calm?"
The eyes of the tall Garuda clan were still looking inside the door, and Zou Dui followed her gaze to look forward, but all he could see was a gray mist.
After a pause, the tall Garuda warrior said: "You are not stationed here, so you will naturally not be able to experience the subtle changes, and I have been stationed here for I don't know how many years, and I know every trace and every change here very clearly. I can feel that some kind of fury and agitation coming from inside the stone gate has intensified over the past hundred years, and this time, you must be careful. ”
Her Majesty's envoy looked inside the stone gate and asked curiously, "This must just be your feelings, right? ”
The tall Garuda warrior shook his head slowly: "It's not just that I feel, but over the years, the creatures inside the gate have become more and more violent, and they have even attacked here several times. ”
Her Majesty's envoy was shocked: "What do you say......? The creatures inside the door have expanded their range of movement here, and have launched several attacks?"
The tall Garuda warrior nodded: "Yes, but there are not many of them, otherwise I may not be able to stand here and talk to you anymore." Their numbers are too large, even if their strength is not very strong, but the infinite number alone is enough to stump any strong person......"
Her Majesty's emissary looked more and more unsightly, paced back and forth anxiously, and said, "How could such a thing happen...... In the past, near this stone gate, it was an absolute forbidden area, and they had never entered here. If the situation continues to deteriorate like this, doesn't it mean that these things may leave the land of gray fog and pose a great threat to the nearby plateau?"
The tall Garuda warrior shook his head: "I have told you everything I know, I feel that there is not much time left for us, these young bodies of the outer demons are rapidly evolving towards mature bodies under the nourishment of more and more intense evil qi......"
"I know ......"
Her Majesty's emissary nodded, "I will report this matter to the higher authorities as soon as possible." ”
The situation seems to be serious, but the demon hunting convention has to go on. After Her Majesty's envoy and the tall Garuda warriors finished speaking, they turned to the Garuda warriors who were attending the assembly and said, "All right, I'll keep you waiting. This time, behind this stone gate, will be our new hunting ground. But given the changed circumstances, the game may be more dangerous, does anyone want to quit?"
Under the emissary's gaze, the eyes and expressions of all the Garuda warriors were extremely resolute, and no one proposed to withdraw.
"Good!"
The messenger nodded and said, "This time the game is even more dangerous, once you cross the stone gate, everything will become unknown, and the danger will be greatly increased. You have to bring back ten juveniles while ensuring your safety, and whoever takes the shortest time will be the winner of this contest. And your results will be ranked according to the speed at which you come back. Did you get it?"
"Yes!"
The Garuda warriors replied in unison.
"Good!"
Her Majesty's envoy nodded heavily, with a satisfied expression, "You also have to remember that after crossing the stone gate, the land of gray mist becomes extremely dangerous, and a good warrior should not be afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, but if she is stupid enough to die in vain, she will not be a qualified warrior! If you do so, you will lose your qualification to participate in this conference, but if you lose your life, you will also be automatically disqualified. So keep this in mind, do what you can, and don't be reckless! Now, let's go!"
