Chapter Ninety-Nine: Don't Imagine a Glimpse
This sentence made Ekquwa a little nervous, because it was a forbidden area, and the Zanzibar leopard in the Colosseum was just a small beast that ran out of the edge, and there might be more powerful monsters in the depths.
It seems that from the day he set foot on the Flood Desolate Continent, Ekquwa couldn't do without stepping on the night.
Past the Colosseum is the Forgotten Mountain, but this area is completely cordoned off.
The road up the mountain is full of thorns, there are even large walls built into it, and there are many patrolling soldiers along the road, even if you have a special pass, you can't go up the mountain.
With their dexterity, Tnight and Ektrova evaded the patrolling soldiers, but it was getting late, and they had to choose a place to camp.
The next day they began their trek, which was full of thorns, which was quite nerve-wracking, and a few hours later it was still the same way, and they were only walking on the very edge of the Forgotten Mountain.
If you can't see a demon beast, you can't see an ordinary beast, and you think that this may be the thorns that Desperate City deliberately laid everywhere in order to prevent people from going up the mountain, cutting off the path of humans and beasts.
The road they had traveled in a few hours was only the distance they would normally have traveled in an hour, and they could only carefully bypass the thorns.
Plant rhizomes can provide them with a little water, as well as purslane, hollyho, cranberries, and more often they will collect some nuts.
They have not yet realized that the Forgotten Mountains are larger, even boundless, than the Fallen Mountains.
They caught a few marmots in the night, skinned them and boiled them into a soup with choshi, which was the most delicious food they had in the past two days.
It was thought that the living conditions here should be good, but the actual situation is completely opposite to what was expected.
Ta Ye should actually estimate that in order to prevent people from going up the mountain, the edge environment of the Forgotten Mountain has been changed by magic, thorns are the main plants here, and the original river should lead directly to Pingjing Lake, which has long since been cut off.
The big men of Broken Leaf City want to prevent people from going up the mountain, and even more so from the demon beasts on the mountain from breaking down, and even hide something.
The monster beasts here are different, they have seen it in the Colosseum, an ordinary Zanzibar leopard actually has the strength of the third-level peak, and outside the Forgotten Mountain, the Zanzibar leopard is not even a second-level demon beast.
Accustomed to camping in the wilderness, looking at the narrow sky and the vast starry sky, I thought of Antares girl, the last time Antares used superpowers to save him, and instantly consumed all her energy.
If it weren't for him, she should have lived a long time!
The rumors are half true and half false.
When it is time to fall, it falls, for no reason, and without any mission, perhaps because the number of qi is exhausted, or the energy is exhausted.
Fan Li told him that meteorites can transform into human form, and he has experienced this matter and will never doubt it again.
When he went to Qi City, the meteorite was left in the inn, because no one could touch it, not even the desert, so he left the meteorite in the inn with confidence.
The most important thing for tomorrow was to get food and water, and just as he was thinking, a shadow flew through the sky, and he recognized it as a goshawk, similar to the one he had seen in the Colosseum.
Hearing the sound of "squirming", the goshawk was actually rummaging through their backpacks, and sat up to chase the goshawk in the night, but the hateful thing was that the eagle took their bags, there were not many ghost irons in it, but there were necessary tools in it, knives, fire sickles, choshi, ropes......
It's a terrible thing, and they're at a loss.
Whether to move forward or go back, step on the night to see the true face of the Forgotten Mountain, otherwise he will not give up.
Ektrawa didn't know what to do next, because the further he went, the more desolate he became, which was a great violation of the laws of nature.
Food was still available, and the desert was filled with marmots, nail-toothed beasts, snakes, and Ektrova's broad-bladed sword, which he had hidden under his body yesterday so that it had not been taken by the eagle.
But without Choshi and the fire sickle, you can't eat anything hot, and what's worse is the lack of water.
Ektrava thought of the water bladder that Kukulkan had given them, and there was a drop of water in it from the heart of the ancient Qinhai Sea, which was enough for them to drink for months.
Treading Night doesn't seem to be bothered by water, as he has an ice calling technique that can produce several Xiaoice cones.
Ectrova cried out excitedly as he could eat the cool ice, but Treadnight told him that the summoned ice could not be inexhaustible. Because it consumes his energy, he can only replenish it unless he has a ghost Qi Tie.
This made Ektrova dare not enjoy the coolness too much, and he was not even sure that this ice was summoned by the Ice Summoning Technique at night, and it was possible that it was the ice condensed by the water in this person's body, and it was difficult to swallow it when he thought about it.
Treading Night smiled, and let Ektrova boldly use water, even if there was no ghost Qi Tie, he still had a lively Qi Toad in his stomach, and he could summon some ice and snow without using the ice summoning technique.
It's just that this way, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
They walked cautiously along the thorny road, and on the fifth day they came to good weather: it was a day when the clouds were thick and it was pouring rain, there was no place to take refuge, there were no culverts, no tall woods, and they stood wet in the rain in the skins of the animals they slept on.
God seemed to be joking with them, and on the third day after the rain stopped, Ektrova hoped for another rain, for the place they had come to was severely drought, but on this day the wind blew and swept the sand everywhere, making one wonder that they had come not to the Forgotten Mountains but to the edge of the desert.
The most terrifying thing is that the sand under their feet is constantly stirring, and it seems that there are huge insects chasing them underground.
Soon they had nowhere to hide, as the bulging mound trapped them in the center.
When the mound broke, Teye and Ektrova smiled bitterly at each other, it turned out to be desert ants. But as soon as they relaxed, these ants suddenly swarmed at them.
"Run!"
The two men shouted in unison.
These desert ants surrounded them from all sides, not giving them a chance to escape at all, and their bodies were crawling with black ants, and even the always calm night showed a frightened expression......
A few drops of rain fell on Taya's face, waking him up from his sleep, it turned out that what had just happened was a dream, and it was the second half of the night.
Ektrova suddenly shouted, "Look, that goshawk has sent our rucksacks back!"
Think about what time it is, it's the fifth day they've come to the Forgotten Mountain, which means that what happened in front of them is a real experience, and what follows is a dream.
"Let's go back!"
"Didn't you see the true face of the Forgotten Mountain?"
Ektrova is a little strange, this is not like the character of the night, they have been walking for a few days, not to mention not to the point of exhaustion.
"Seeing that this is the warning of the Forgotten Mountain, don't try to get close to it and get a glimpse of it. ”
The night is said to be the goshawk sending the backpack.
He didn't tell Extrova what was going on in the dream, but he believed that what was going to happen was the same as in the dream, and that the raindrops that were falling now were a harbinger of the beginning of the dream.
