Volume 2 [Dark Tide] Chapter 167 The difference between one word and the difference between clouds and mud

Akasha fled without a cloak.

The evening breeze in mid-October was already a little cold to the bone, and the thin linen clothes were put on her body, and she walked tremblingly with her shoulders hugged. If it weren't for the beast tide that emptied many fierce beasts in the area, I am afraid that it would have already become the belly of countless fierce beasts at this time, but I don't know if it was "too bad" or "too good", but Akasha, who just had the idea of "looking for a camp", actually entered the depths of the forest all the way unimpeded...

Halfway through, in order to prevent her clothes from being soaked in blood from the "flogging", Akasha had to take off her robe in the forest and bear the pain of this vicious curse as she had done before.

And when Akasha forcibly used healing techniques to heal herself and stood up, her eyes went black and she almost fell to the ground. The side effects of hunger, exhaustion, and anemia had caused her to experience slight dizziness and tinnitus, and the cold wind had devastated her lips to a bluish-gray color...

The body is almost unable to support it, and its energy, physical strength, and mana are close to exhaustion. It's just that Akasha didn't give up hope of escaping in her heart... The belief in her heart, which had only recently been strengthened, made her unwilling to die in obscurity in the forest like this.

But I don't know whether it was luck or misfortune, when she gritted her teeth in the dark and walked nearly four or five kilometers, she found that suddenly there was a clearing in front of her, and in the center of the clearing was a building that she had never seen before.

Akasha was overjoyed, thinking she had found a village or camp, but when she got closer, she frowned, for she found that all she saw was an uninhabited ruin.

Strangely shaped stone buildings stand in the middle of the clearing, looking from afar, like giant beasts lurking in the dark.

Weak, Akasha strode towards the ruins, the edge of the clearing was only a hundred meters from where the ruins were, and it didn't take long for her to reach the edge of the ruins. Raising her head, Akasha looked at the dark stone houses, her heart always felt cold, she raised her hand and used the "Holy Light Technique" to look around, she found some unknown words written on the stone pillars, and in some places stood broken sculptures, on which figures had pointed ears and slender figures.

"The ruins of the elves..."

Akasha muttered to herself, but then suddenly heard the sound of something falling, and looked down to find that the ground under her feet was not solid ground, but huge stone slabs that were spliced together. There are fist-wide and bottomless flat gaps in the middle of these stone slabs, and the stones that fell from the feet just now fell into the gaps, and the echo of the landing could not be heard.

The surroundings were unusually quiet, not even the sound of insects and birds, Akasha always felt that this place was full of weirdness, and she had no curiosity to explore what was down there, and after thinking about it, she wanted to leave. But as soon as I took two or three steps, there was a sudden muffled sound of "boom" in my ears...

The sudden sound was accompanied by a violent shaking of the ground, the magnitude of which was comparable to an earthquake - Akasha almost sat on the ground, she quickly reached out and hugged the stone pillar beside her, and when the shaking gradually disappeared, she turned to look behind the sound...

Then she covered her mouth violently and forced her scream in her throat.

Akasha swears that the guy she sees in front of her... Definitely the most terrifying creature she'd ever seen in her life

In the midst of the ruins, a giant snake was slowly poking its head out and swimming in the direction of Akasha - the head of this giant snake was almost as long as a dragon, and two short horns had grown on its scaly-covered head, and the triangular head was more than a meter and a half wide, as if its mouth could swallow a person directly

Its stout snake body was hidden by the complex ruins as it went, and it couldn't be seen how long it was, but as it moved forward, it kept knocking down stones and ruins walls, and its body swayed left and right seemed to have an inexplicable magic power, and it kept the ground shaking, and the terrifying aura was also released as it gradually raised its head...

This... What the hell is this?

Akasha was dumbfounded, she didn't expect to break into the territory of such a terrible creature, her body was already extremely tired, and at this time, because of the fear attacking, she wanted to escape, but it was extremely difficult for her legs to move - but Akasha had been through many battles after all, and she tried to calm herself down... When I looked closely, I realized that the creature in front of me didn't seem to be coming straight at me.

The snake's eyes, which were about the size of a human head, stared straight at them, but they couldn't see the pupils at all, but they were as gray as a layer of dust...

Is it blind?

Akasha's heart suddenly moved, she held her breath and quickly glanced around: on one side was the ruins, on the other side was the forest a hundred meters away, in front of the giant snake, and behind it was a rickety road...

The serpent was spitting out letters frantically, snakes have no noses, and only use their tongues to distinguish the smell in the air, although Akasha didn't understand the reason, but looking at the other party's position, she should be able to tell her approximate location - she figured this out, and immediately gritted her teeth and turned around and ran along the edge of the ruins towards the most complex stone complex

Running to the open space is definitely inevitable death, and the only judgment Akasha can make at this time is to use these complex buildings to slow down the time for the other party to catch up with her - of course, she is not just running, at this time, although Akasha's mana and physical strength are almost exhausted, but her brain is not slow, and she raised her hand and released the lowest level of "Holy Light Punishment" towards a sculpture next to the giant snake...

"Smack"

Because the power was too small, the sculpture of the "High Elf King" Abaddon only raised a little smoke, but the crisp sound made the giant snake suddenly turn its head, and without saying a word, it accelerated and crashed into it, and the sculpture was directly smashed into pieces in the sky with a "bang".

When Akasha saw that her method of attacking the world was effective, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and turned her head and ran

She didn't care where the giant snake came from or why it was blind, but the magic in her hand kept throwing out, misleading the direction of the giant snake one after another, and she herself ran frantically along the edge of the ruins towards the forest, with only one thought left in her heart - don't chase me, don't chase me...

Unexpectedly, after being misled twice in a row, the giant snake immediately found out that it was a trap, and with a turn of its head, it rushed directly towards Akasha... Even if he is blind, this giant serpent's brain is not stupid at all

And once activated, its rush can only be described as "devastating", and the stone buildings were powerless to resist in the process of its twisting and impact, and "crackling" and collapsing a large area

Akasha glanced back, and her pale little face was completely bloodless, because no matter how the magic in her hand was released, the giant snake rushed straight as if she recognized her - she and the giant snake were originally more than thirty meters away, but in an instant, they were approached to about ten meters, and they were about to catch up in less than two seconds, but Akasha suddenly stepped into the air under her feet, and fell directly to the ground with an exclamation of "ah".

It wasn't because of the weakness of her legs, Akasha who fell down endured the pain and looked down, but found that the slate on the ground was gradually getting bigger because of the continuous shaking, and she just failed to notice a gap that was half a meter small, and at this time the whole leg was sunk in - and this was not the end, as the giant snake approached without stopping, the stone slab that clamped Akasha's right leg shook more intensively, and the gap that expanded again made her whole body collapse

What's going on?

In a panic, Akasha grabbed the stone slabs on both sides with both hands, and at this time her body was only above her chest, but even so, Akasha found that her feet falling into the gap still could not reach the ground below, and the black gap under her body was like an abyss that was eager to devour people, which made her instinctively afraid

But when he raised his head, the giant snake in his field of vision had already opened its mouth, and its blade-like teeth and fishy breath came to its face-

In the choice of being "bitten to death" or "falling to death", Akasha did not hesitate to let go of her hand.

Don't die and don't be eaten

This was the only thought that Akasha had in her mind before she fell into the abyss.

"Sakya, the Serpent King? Warcraft that has lived for 700 years? ”

Luo Di showed a stunned expression, and said, "Dragons may not live for so long...

"Your Excellency Luo Di actually knows the lifespan of the Dao Dragon Clan?"

In the tree cave of the village chief of Elsa Village, Roddy was talking to the old elf about his advanced career mission, the old elf had almost collapsed after the battle, but after a few hours of rest, his face had now recovered.

However, Roddy really didn't expect that the monster that caused the "beast tide" in Brudy's mouth would be a snake with a lifespan of more than 700 years - and in his impression, such a creature never existed in the Silent Forest

What's even weirder... It sounds like the snake has something to do with its mission.

"It's all hearsay from the bards, and I don't know how long the dragons will live."

"I don't know if it's a coincidence, the lifespan of the dragons is indeed less than five hundred years," Brudy didn't continue to discuss this issue, but took out the letter that Roddy asked Hugo to hand over to him, and read it with a serious face: "'Dukal's immortal will guards Wagra City, Saga's mission is not over, and the last inheritor will be born in blood... The cursed walk alone in darkness. ,”

"There is nothing else mentioned in these texts?"

Roddy frowned and asked, his eyes turned slightly, and he called out the [Taskbar] in a low voice, checking the progress.

"Wagra is a city of high elves, destroyed in war seven hundred years ago." Brudy's eyes lifted and looked at Roddy, "As a descendant and branch of the Wood Elves, few people remember such a history now. ”

Roddy frowned, as if remembering something, and muttered to himself, "Seven hundred years ago... The Battle of Wagra... You're talking about the last battle the High Elves have fought against the Orcs, right? After that battle, the royal family of the High Elves was completely extinct, and there were no more pure-blood heirs. ”

"Your Excellency actually knows what to do?"

Brudy was surprised that his mouth could stuff the egg, and he just wanted to say something, but he saw Luo Di suddenly wave his hand, and said with a strange expression: "These don't matter, I want to know... Where is that Wagra City? ”

His voice was a little uncontrollable excited, because the [Taskbar] in front of him had been updated with the next and final step - [Lone Wanderer in the Dark]

Quest Tip: Seek the legacy of Dukal, the last Demon Hunter, in the ruins of Wagra City.

At this point in the mission, what kind of profession the "Demon Hunter" is can be roughly seen from the "mission description":

"As one of the rarest classes among the High Elves, the existence of demon hunters is almost unknown. The last time this class appeared in the limelight was in the 'Battle of Wagra',—— 71B years ago, where a demon hunter named Dukal led his demon pet Sakya and the invaders to fight to the last moment. ”

The information revealed by this passage made Roddy almost cry out in excitement... Because in its description, the "Demon Hunter" can actually have "Demon Beast" as a pet

In the previous "Ripp", the pet of the "Ranger" could only be a "beast"

The difference between one word and the difference between cloud and mud

Roddy was completely struck by a huge sense of happiness at this time, and he even had a scene in his head of riding a giant dragon soaring into the sky...
