Chapter 507, Thread (First Update)
(Outbreak, repay debts, ask for a monthly pass, six watches today!!) )
The commander who commands a group of half-men is definitely not a veteran, because the veteran can see these half-people as early as the beginning, and then take out his own team. Only if they can't see who their subordinates are, they will stuff everyone into their own team, and then follow these unobtrusive subordinates all the way.
In the art of war, it is said that all those who fight will win with the right and the odd. This sentence can be interpreted in a variety of ways, but one thing must be admitted, only with real strength can it be possible to win by surprise. No matter how surprising a scholar is, he will still be knocked down by a punch when he encounters a barbarian. No matter how new and surprising a half-baked team is, it is only strong on paper, and when it encounters real problems, it will be at a loss.
If the Holy See's Punishment Knights and Priests came to this cave, it wouldn't take long to dig out the secrets in this cave, and they might be able to follow the rules, but the actual speed would definitely be much better than Xiao Yan's effect of bumping around.
This is already the fourth day in the cave, and it is not true to say that it is the fourth day, because there is no change in the sky in the cave, and Xiao Yan can only roughly estimate the time change. On this long road, they still have no end in sight. It is a road with no forks, no traps, no beasts, and in short, no dangers. There may be quite a few turns, and in some places it will turn into a hall, where Xiao Yan and his rest will be placed. Then there is a boring walk, with no end in sight, and it doesn't feel like you're going around in circles, which makes people irritated and helpless.
Xiao Yan was sure that there must be a fork in the road on this rugged road. And those forks lead to the real destination. But he just couldn't find where the forks were. At this time, he misses the eyes in the real shijie very much. At least he could see all kinds of possibilities, and it was estimated that he could find out all the forks in the road.
On the fourth day they continued to walk for seven or eight hours, and then a new large stone cave appeared in front of them on time, as if someone had calculated it accurately, knowing that they must need to rest at this time, and then there was a large enough resting place here.
The cave was the same as the one seen in the previous days, and both Carpenter and Tulaman said that the traces of the axe were quite old, and in some places even blurred by weathering. It is not an exaggeration to say that it has a history of thousands of years. To be precise, it was originally just a passageway, and then slowly carved out in all directions until it was hollowed out to the way it is now. So from the edge of the cave to the inner stone wall, the traces of the axe and chisel gradually became clear.
It all seemed very natural, for example, there was already a group of gray dwarves who stayed here, used it as a foothold, and then slowly excavated. Then I found the next foothold, and then slowly excavated.
But. Xiao Yan looked at this cave and felt something else completely different. These caves appear too precisely. It's like it's stuck in the itinerary of Xiao Yan's team. This in itself is the biggest suspicion, after all, Xiao Yan's team is different from the previous dwarf team, they are more numerous and more complicated, and any change will delay a lot of time. For example, the most direct, defecation and defecation problems can become very troublesome in the cave. Especially in the case of female dwarves, this unexpected situation is more complicated. Therefore, although Xiao Yan walked for 8 hours a day, they stopped and walked, and the real itinerary of each day was not fixed. It is such an irregular itinerary, but these stone caves can appear in front of everyone at a fixed time, such a situation, it is difficult not to make people doubt.
What's even more strange is that these caves are always not big or small, just enough for everyone in Xiao Yan's team to live in. In the recessed places on both sides, you can light a few bonfires, plus both sides can block the wind blowing, so the overall temperature is also pleasant, at least much better than the shijie outside. From time to time, a light breeze blows in the passage, causing the entire cave to be free of hidden dangers of lack of air. No matter how you look at it, this kind of cave looks like it was specially prepared for Xiao Yan, not the one that existed before.
Maybe in the depths of this cave, there is a powerful life that is secretly staring at Xiao Yan and them, and then arranging everything, as for how to create such a cave, it is not something that Xiao Yan can think of for the time being. All he could imagine was that the being who didn't know where should be hostile to them, or rather, not hostile for the time being.
No one will show hostility towards their prey until they trap it through food. Only when the prey enters the ambush circle and there is no escape, will humans show hostility at that moment.
After arranging the guards for the night, Xiao Yan lay on the thick fur coat, which was the lord's prerogative, and he was not yet humble enough to give the fur to others. In this era, most of the lords who really do this kind of thing will not last long, at least the subjects will be afraid of their future. A lord mainly buys people's hearts through this method, and most lords have no other skills.
The breeze in the cave was blowing again, accompanied by the crackling of firewood in the campfire, and enough warmth to make it feel like being in a Garza hut. The firewood, which had been brought all the way from Speyer, had no dry trees under this valley, and it was very difficult to burn, and it would have a lot of smoke when it burned. Fortunately, the scepter storage space in Xiao Yan's hand was large enough, otherwise these heating firewoods alone would be enough to make this team die in the middle of the road.
Xiao Yan fell asleep in a daze, and in his sleep, he suddenly found himself back on the surface of the water that separated the reality shijie and the trial shijie. In other words, Xiao Yan's will temporarily detached from little Fryman's body. This time was different from the past, Xiao Yan's will clearly saw that the "ice surface" in front of him was not a whole, and there were many cracks in it. It's just that the cracks are too small for him to see until then.
Trying to push these cracks, Xiao Yan found that these cracks were not gates, and he couldn't expand them with his will's hands. Maybe a little higher level will open the crack.
At least it was a big improvement, and he couldn't even see the cracks in the elven ruins. You know, this ice layer is not a direct reaction of Shili, but a figurative touch of will. The higher the level of willpower, the more delicate the touch, and the greater the liliang that can be generated. In other words, even if the mage level and the permanent magic circle pool cannot be brought to reality, at least Xiao Yan's willpower level has been fundamentally improved now.
Just as Xiao Yan was about to return to little Fryman's body, the entire ice suddenly underwent a turmoil. Xiao Yan didn't know where this turmoil was coming from, but he felt a crack in the ice suddenly widen somewhere. With this feeling, Xiao Yan's will had reached that crack, and he rushed outward, wanting to return to reality before the crack closed.
However, this idea was destined to fail, and under the ice, a deep voice suddenly came, and then a more powerful Liliang suddenly came from below, forcibly pulling Xiao Yan's will back.
It's not all of Xiao Yan's will.,Figuratively speaking.,Probably the will of an arm is left in the body of the real shijie.。
It was a sudden opportunity, and it didn't work out, but it brought back a lot of information.
Xiao Yan of the real shijie is still alive, this body has encountered a little trouble, but it is not a big problem, and the will of that arm should be able to solve these problems.
The level is high enough to return to reality shijie, and at present, it seems that as long as you find a good opportunity, even the will of level 4 can go back. If you can upgrade to level 5, then you will be more sure.
It is enough to have such an attempt, at least not like walking in the heart of this mountain, always feeling that the future is bleak.
This is like a mess, before this, Xiao Yan only knew how to solve this, but in fact, he didn't find any opportunities. And now, at least he has found the thread, and slowly brushing it up according to the thread will always solve the problem.
Xiao Yan's will began to fall at high speed, but this time, his will did not fall back into little Fryman's body, but finally landed in a void space. In this space, Xiao Yan's will floated helplessly in the air, and in front of his eyes was a huge blurred black shadow.
The edge of this black shadow is always in a state of turmoil, it looks like a huge jellyfish is scattering countless small tentacles around, and Xiao Yan's will, this should also be the will of some powerful creature, and this will is stronger than Xiao Yan's, so Liliang under the ice is also more powerful, even so strong that Xiao Yan can't resist.
"Welcome here, young human."
This vague black shadow suddenly spoke, and the speech of the will body was an experience that Xiao Yan had never experienced before, and he tried to make himself answer, but around his will, there was only a gurgling sound like a blister.
"There's no need to rush to speak, in a space like this, speaking requires skill and not liliang. The more anxious you are to do something, the harder it is to touch the essence of it. Don't worry, the time of the will and the flow of time outside are completely different. It's like a dream, you dream for decades, and the reality is only a few hours. ”
Xiao Yan no longer made a bubble sound, but followed the black shadow's suggestion and began to try to understand the essence of this space.
"Very good, we need to talk, before you came here, I have been imprisoned here for I don't know how long, tell me, is the Floating Continent still there?" (To be continued......)
