Chapter 64: The Flame of Civilization
Located on the border between Mississippi and Arkansas, the Foggy Mountains are a circular mountain range that stretches from east to west. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Since the dawn of human civilization, this place has been a habitat for dark creatures, and few humans have visited it.
Flying over the foggy mountains, gray fog can be seen everywhere, almost turning into substance, and the eyes are blocked by the fog, even if the virtual vision is turned on, the longest distance that can be seen is only a few hundred meters away.
John took the girl to fly around the foggy mountains, but did not find the legendary giant wolf, nor did he find those legendary ancient creatures, in desperation, he had to choose a flat place to land down, looking for clues from the ground,
This is a wild place, with bushes, lush vegetation, snakes, insects, rats and ants everywhere.
What is puzzling is that it is obviously a land that has never had a civilized history, but turning over the weeds and dead trees, you can find some broken masonry walls underneath.
If you go inside the city walls and search carefully, you can also find some broken tiles with artificial traces in some remote corners.
"It's a strange place."
John frowned, opened his white golden eyes, and walked back and forth around, and when he saw the huge dry mass in the corner, he was slightly stunned and asked,
"What's that?"
The girl looked back and explained, "It's ogre dung, and unlike ordinary creatures, ogre dung contains a peculiar substance that is very hard and difficult to dissolve when cool.
Therefore, this kind of thing can often be seen in places infested by ogres, and some even build nests with their own feces. ”
Amy is a wizard, a wizard who has undergone systematic theoretical study and passed the assessment with excellent grades, she is very aware of all kinds of dark creatures and their abilities and weaknesses, otherwise the commander of the Combine Army would not have sent her as a member of the eight death squads.
"That means there's an ogre around here." John said,
The girl thought for a moment and shook her head slowly, "There shouldn't be, there is only this lump of feces around here, judging by the degree of hardening, the feces have been around for a long time, presumably the ogre should just be passing by." ”
John nodded, didn't say anything, but had more recognition of the girl in his heart.
The two continued to move forward, and as they gradually deepened, there was suddenly an indissolvable white mist in front of them, which obscured their vision and almost turned into a wall of fog between heaven and earth.
"Be careful, there's a fog demon here." The girl took a step back, her face pale, and took out the wand of unknown wood that was tied to her waist and clenched it tightly in her hand.
"Fog demons are invisible, like to sneak up from behind, and will create fantasies based on the things around them, and sometimes simulate corresponding sounds according to the state of the fantasy."
The girl's voice trembled, unlike creatures that had become dark, they were cruel and cunning by nature, and after catching their prey, they always liked to torture them before eating them.
"Fog Demon?" John's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "If I'm not mistaken, it was these creatures that hid in the white mist that gouged out Renault's eyes and left a huge gap in his abdomen. ”
"I'm worried that I have nowhere to look for you, but I didn't expect you to send it to the door by yourself."
John groaned and shouted to the back in a cold voice, "Find a hidden place where you can block out the light, cover your eyes, and don't open them without my permission." ”
"Yes!" The girl was excited, nodded hurriedly, and hurriedly found a crack in the stone to get into, squatting with her head in her hands, and covering her eyes tightly.
She didn't know what was going to happen underneath the Wingman, but the killing intent in her tone was so clear and piercing.
The fog demon hidden in the white mist seemed to have spotted John and the others, driving the white mist to quickly approach the two.
The surrounding fog suddenly became thicker, and the white mist was everywhere, permeating the surroundings, as if to isolate the two from this world.
"Are they all here?"
Blue light came out of the pupil of his left eye, and the sound of lowered footsteps echoed in his ears, John slowly stretched out his hand, and a ball of light appeared in his palm, and the ball of light became brighter and brighter, with dazzling light, like the most beautiful gem in the world.
Click!
A not-so-clear cracking sound sounded,
A crack appeared on the surface of the photosphere, and there were more and more cracks, and in the end, bang! Gotta bang,
The crack exploded, and in an instant, the sky and the earth brightened, and a light like the sun descended in the white mist, and the light was so dazzling that even Amy, who was desperately covering her eyes, felt a tingling pain in her eye membrane.
The light dispelled the white mist, and everywhere it went, there was no shadow in a radius of kilometers.
John burst into flames and rushed at the ugly things that were burning their eyes with the bright light, rolling on the ground and wailing.
The two wings were like two sharp scimitars, setting off a bloody storm.
A few minutes later, all the corpses of the fog demon were thrown together, he stretched out his wings and placed them on the corpse pile, a faint soul fluctuation emanated from his body, and countless gray mist that was invisible to the naked eye emerged from the corpse pile and melted into his body along the wings.
On the virtual screen, the soul energy count continued to grow, and it stopped when it reached 1148.
"A total of 214 soul energy points, an average of about 13 points each, which is not bad."
John withdrew his wings, and the blue in his eyes faded.
"Can I come out?" Amy asked aloud,
"Yes." John retracted his wings and replied in a deep voice,
"Oh!"
The girl answered, opened her eyes carefully, and when she saw that the bright light around her disappeared, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, that kind of light was too terrible, obviously covering her eyes, and she could be burned.
"I don't know what happened to those fog demons."
The girl muttered, a little curious in her heart, pulled the stone and crawled out of the gap, and after seeing the pile of corpses, her expression was stunned, and she asked,
"My lord, why are you piling up the corpses of these fog demons together?"
John glanced back at her, but didn't answer, and his wings swung a stream of heat that burned the corpses to ashes.
"It's time for us to go."
After the white mist cleared, a passage appeared in front of it, judging by the murals on the walls on both sides and some weedy adobe bricks, this downward extension of the passage was not a natural formation, and seemed to be some kind of ruin.
"Do you know the mural on it?" John asked,
The girl looked at it carefully and shook her head slightly, these murals were too badly damaged, intermittent, not a little coherent, and the creatures with weapons painted on them were also very strange, with flat and large heads, no ears, three eyes, and wings like fish fins on their backs, not at all like humans.
"It's not human, what is it?"
John frowned and asked himself in a muffled voice, after this period of familiarity, he had understood that this world was very different from the original, it seemed to be in another time and space, and many things that should have appeared have not appeared until now.
For example, Oceania in the Southern Hemisphere is still a no-man's land, and explorers have discovered this continent, but they have not been able to leave a human fire on it, and it is not even clear how big it is, and all the people who entered it died, and none of them returned.
Except, of course, those who swear around the coast and then run back to boast about it.
