Chapter 102: Xi Ling (2)
"Ding...... You have entered the 'Silent Soul Ridge'. ”
"Ding...... 'Silent Soul Ridge' is an extremely dangerous area, please proceed cautiously."
Less than a hundred meters from the place where he had discovered the entrance to the Underworld, Ling Chen had already stepped into the range of the Silent Soul Ridge. The ground beneath your feet gets wet. Soft, the light and air approximate the gloomy place, even more eerie than the spooky place. The road became potholed, and the mountains of height, height and soberness, were faintly reflected in the air, depicting a scene as if stepping into the underworld.
Walking into it, Ling Chen felt a little frightened, and after soothing it for a while, his mood slowly calmed down and became calm.
Spreading out the map that I had bought with a lot of money from Qian Rolling, after a few cursory glances, I felt more and more that I had not lost anything in spending the 50,000 gold coins. The map shows almost all the towns, plains, forests, mountains, battlefields, rivers, and ruins of the Forgotten Continent............ And so on, and even the main building points in the interior of the big cities are marked. Many special places are also annotated in detail. The colors of each area vary significantly. The Lonely Soul Ridge where he is now is depicted in pitch black, meaning that this is a forbidden place that cannot be set foot in. Next to the map of Silent Soul Mountain, there is also a piece of text.
Silent Soul Ridge: 10,000 years ago was called the Silent Ridge, because it was close to one of the entrances to the underworld and affected by its breath all the year round, few people set foot on it, but it is not a forbidden place, there are often traveling explorers entered, 10,000 years ago, the Silent Ridge was suddenly filled with black fog, and since then, all the people who stepped into it died, and none of them could get out alive. The Silent Hill was also named the Silent Soul Ridge hundreds of years later, and its strength is lower than that of the Divine Mystery and cannot be approached!
Ling Chen: "......"
The strength is lower than that of the gods, so you can't get close to ...... In other words, the one who killed all the people who approached here was a person or monster who had at least the strength of the gods! It's no wonder that for so many years, countless masters in the Forgotten Continent have not come out after entering the Silent Soul Ridge, and the strength of the Divine Xuan level ...... That's something that humans simply can't compete with. If you run into it, it is indeed a dead end without suspense. In addition, Qian Rolling obviously knew what was guarding here, but he didn't mark it, it seemed that even Qian Rolling was afraid of it.
Putting the map back into his backpack, Ling Chen walked briskly forward. After putting the empty Akashi in the backpack, the storage space was directly increased to 500.
Entering the Lonely Soul Ridge, there was no dangerous aura coming, it seemed that as Qian Rolling said, the biggest danger in the Lonely Soul Ridge had left at this time, but maybe it would come back when. Ling Chen walked forward briskly, his eyes carefully scanning the front and surroundings of him, looking for the ultimate purpose of coming here-Black Flame Grass! According to the description of the Blue Dragon City Lord, the Black Flame Grass was like clusters of black flames burning on the ground, and it was very easy to identify.
As for the entrance to the underworld that he had discovered before, he remembered it in his heart, but gave up entering. Qian Rolling had said that the lowest undead in it were all over level fifty, and it was an area that he couldn't touch at all right now.
Black Flame Grass ...... Black Flame Grass ......
Ling Chen was thinking in his heart, and he and Xiao Ash were looking for it as they walked forward. The Soul Ridge is very large, with countless large and small mountain ranges, among which there are countless rocks, and sometimes you can see black weed-like things, which seem to be undead plants that can grow in the death environment, but its shape is obviously not black flame grass. Ling Chen walked all the way to the top of the first mountain...... The top was covered with gravel, and the sound of the wind was chilling in the heart, but there was still no shadow of black flame grass.
Ling Chen stood on the top of the first mountain ridge and looked into the distance, under the black fog, it was impossible to see where the Silent Soul Ridge was spreading, and he could only vaguely see that there were higher mountains in front of him.
At this time, nearly half an hour had passed since he entered the Silent Soul Ridge.
"Bleak Moon, have you ever seen the Black Flame Grass? Do you know where it is in Lonely Soul Ridge? Ling Chen asked. The Bleak Moon, which existed 10,000 years ago, may know where the Black Flame Grass is.
“……”
"Bleak Moon?"
He called several times in succession, but he didn't wait for an answer. After reminding him of the rolling money, she had not moved, apparently overdrawn and now asleep in the Moon of Damnation.
It seems that you can only rely on yourself. Ling Chen quickly glanced around and continued to walk forward. Although I didn't find Lonely Soul Ridge, I didn't encounter any living or dead souls, and the entire Lonely Soul Ridge was quiet and terrifying except for the sound of the wind...... It seems that there is nothing alive in this huge mountain except him!
Walking down the slope, Ling Chen did not miss any corner around him, but until he reached the bottom of the mountain on the other side, he still did not find any trace of the black flame grass.
Didn't the Blue Dragon City Lord say that the Black Flame Grass in Silent Soul Ridge was everywhere? Why can't I find any of them?
A possibility suddenly appeared in Ling Chen's mind...... The legend of the existence of black flame grass in Lonely Soul Ridge was passed down a long, long time ago, and Lonely Soul Ridge was not called Lonely Soul Ridge at that time, nor was it a forbidden place. But now, 10,000 years have passed since that time...... In this place now, will there still be black flame grass as before?
But immediately, Ling Chen quickly shook off this thought. This is the only hidden mission in the Shenyue world, since the task exists, even if it is more difficult than ascending to the sky, it must be possible, that is to say, the black flame grass must exist. Ling Chen looked ahead...... This should still be in the safe area of Lonely Soul Ridge, will Black Flame Grass be in the center of Lonely Soul Ridge?
Thinking of this, Ling Chen quickened his pace and continued to walk forward, although the speed of moving forward accelerated, it did not mean that he had become careless. Everywhere he went, he would look with his eyes with great care.
An hour later, the effect of the "Stone of the Dead" disappeared and disappeared directly into the Moon of Damnation, but the floating aura of the Soul Ridge seemed to be different from that of the Eerie Land, and Ling Chen, who was not protected by the Stone of the Dead, did not continue to lose his life. But a full hour passed, and he had traveled several kilometers, but he still didn't find a trace of black flame grass.
Glancing at the time, at this time, the real world time has just passed 0:00 in the morning, and a new day has arrived. Qinglong City Square, which was deserted two days ago, is already bustling at this time, and a large number of players are vying to queue up to change jobs, or run all over the city to find tasks, or run to search and seize upgraded territory as soon as possible, and commercial organizations belonging to players have also begun to plan...... None of them would have thought that a player would have been in a place more than two hundred kilometers away from Qinglong City, and in an extremely terrifying environment, he was risking great dangers to do a difficult task.
The "horrible guy" in the mouth of the money could come back at any time. can turn Silent Soul Ridge into a forbidden place, and let all the masters who come close to be buried in it, you can imagine how terrifying that guy is. If it can't find the Black Flame Grass before it returns, not only will it fall short, but it will also die itself, and a month later, it will have to endure the cruel punishment of the mission.
Must find it now!
Another two hours passed......
After turning over a few mountains, Ling Chen didn't remember, and he didn't remember, all his thoughts were focused on looking for the Black Flame Grass, obviously he had entered the Silent Soul Ridge, and it was the perfect time to leave in the greatest danger, but after searching for more than three hours, he couldn't find the shadow of the Black Flame Grass at all, under the huge gap, even Ling Chen, his mood was also disturbed, and he even vaguely felt that his previous guess might be right...... After an unknown number of years, the Silent Soul Ridge is no longer the mountain range it used to be, and there may really be no Black Flame Grass anymore!
But having come here, Ling Chen is unlikely to be willing. Gritted his teeth and continued to walk forward. If you still can't find the Black Flame Grass at the end of the Silent Soul Ridge, then this task of finding the Black Flame Grass is really an impossible task to complete!
Under the cover of the black mist, he couldn't see too far away, and he didn't know that the mountain he was climbing was the most central and highest one in the Silent Soul Ridge.
Ten minutes later, Ling Chen stood on the top of a mountain again, and along the way, he saw a lot of black weeds, but none of them were black flame grass. By now, he was starting to go a little numb.
The mountains of Silent Soul Ridge are generally not high, and the one that Ling Chen is standing on at this time is the highest one, and it is also the most central one in the entire Lonely Soul Ridge. Ling Chen glanced around, and at a distance of five or six meters on the right hand, there was a big stone, and beyond that, it was bare everywhere, without the slightest shadow of black flame grass.
Or not? Ling Chen exhaled silently, and was just about to walk down the mountain, when suddenly Xiao Ash behind him shouted, pulled his legs and ran towards the stone that was more than a person tall and irregular oval, and then stood in front of the stone, constantly touching it with his front paws.
Ling Chen turned his gaze and quickly walked over, looking at Xiao Ash's movements, he subconsciously asked, "You mean, there is something under this stone?" ”
Ash quickly scratched his front paws in response...... Its action was clearly to let Ling Chen move the stone away.
Ling Chen took two steps back and glanced at the stone. The height of this stone is similar to his height, and it looks very heavy, but because it is a narrow oval, it should still be possible to push it down if he tries his best, and at that moment, he withdrew his dual weapons, stood in front of the stone, pressed his hands on the stone, took a light breath, and pushed hard.
Although this stone is big, it is not as heavy as Ling Chen imagined, coupled with its lack of stable shape, Ling Chen pushed hard, the boulder suddenly tilted, Ling Chen frowned, gritted his teeth, and exerted force again, and suddenly, this stone more than one person high was pushed down by Ling Chen, and fell to the ground with a muffled sound of "poof".
As the stone fell, a pitch-black cave only half a meter long and wide appeared in front of Ling Chen's eyes. Ling Chen was stunned, and quickly walked over to look under the entrance of the cave...... The entrance to the cave was so deep and pitch black that you couldn't see anything inside, but there was a rope ladder hanging clearly from the edge.
Ladder!?
The rope ladder is obviously hung by a man! In other words, this small cave is accessible to people!!
Could it be the "terrible guy" that Money Rolling said? Is that actually a person? A person who has at least the strength of the gods?
"Ding...... You've found a hidden area, which is unnamed. “
