Chapter 9: The Road That Doesn't Work

Unlike the previous mobile defensive formation when projecting out of the world, it was a movement through the woods and had severely limited vision, so it was necessary to maintain a compact formation that did not leave any chance for enemies who might be hiding in the shadows.

However, now that you are in an open field, there are no objects around to obstruct your view, and then using a dense formation, there is no point in other than restricting your reaction space, and the best choice at this time is a loose defensive formation, which is what Shuer's team is now.

Shur ran at the front this time, and a copy of the Darkmoon Holy Book floated beside him, following him, and the holy white light continued to radiate outward from the Holy Codex, forming a cone-shaped light curtain in front of Shuer.

Of course, this is not a simple holy light, but one of the priest's general divine techniques, the purification technique, which can effectively dispel the poisonous elements in the surrounding air and protect the creatures within the purification range from harm. Most of the toxins in the environment can be purified in this way, but unfortunately, the effect in this atlas projection is not great, because the deadliest attacks of plants have nothing to do with toxins, and the purification can play a very limited role.

"Bang bang", behind Shure was the sound of armor clashing, and the dwarf Mobuck was closely behind him.

Now Mobuck didn't do anything superfluous, just concentrated on running, trying to increase his speed.

This is also something that cannot be helped, unless you plan to abandon your teammates, the team's travel speed is based on the person with the slowest speed, which is the so-called short-board effect. Therefore, the biggest contribution Mobuck can make to the team now is to try to increase his speed, so he just needs to concentrate on moving forward, and someone else will take care of the rest.

For example, two skeleton horses, two mages.

The two mage ladies are the most laid-back, they don't need to run on their own, they just need to control the skeleton horse, one left and one right to sandwich the dwarf in the middle.

The four-legged skeleton horse was of course faster than the two-legged man, but at Shure's orders, Miridy noticeably slowed down the summon and kept up with Mobuck. This made it easier for the two mages to spend more time alerting them to possible crises around them.

The mages are relaxed, as are Saf and Macajelen. As lightly armored combat professionals, they carry much less weight than dwarves and are more agile in their movements, with the two of them each following the two mages, protecting both the mages and the wings of the entire team.

In contrast, Moria, who should have been easy to deal with, was not so lucky, as she was now in elven form, or humanoid form.

After all, Shuer's order was to wrap her whole body tightly so that she could not be exposed to the air, and no one knew how to wrap a deer in clothes, so she could only transform into an elf form.

As a result, Lin Jing, who is accustomed to running on four legs, can only maintain a human form now, and it is extremely awkward to run, and it is already very powerful to keep up with the speed of the team, and it is inevitable to work hard.

No one spoke, and the team moved forward at high speed in silence.

Forty kilometers is not too long for a combat professional, but it is not easy to complete the course in an hour, even if you are a gold-level professional.

What's more, for these shadow chasers, this more than an hour may not be just a simple run, in this unfamiliar environment, anything can happen.

Fortunately, they are not only relying on their own strength, but the kindness of the Dark Moon is taking care of them.

Well, it was actually Shure who was looking after them.

Swiftness This single magic lasts for a short time, only thirty seconds to one minute, and is often used by priests to increase their speed in times of crisis to escape from the enemy's attack range, and if you really want to use it to speed up when you move long distances, you must constantly cast spells, and the consumption of mental power is very large, and not many priests can afford it.

But Xiu'er is special, the soul that has been repaired by divine power has super spiritual power, and the unique divine affinity physique, which makes him particularly effective when he releases general divine magic and dark moon divine art. Therefore, even in the middle of running, he can constantly supplement everyone's swiftness, which makes everyone's speed improve a lot.

In addition to Shuer, there is also the ubiquitous wind that helps the shadow chasers.

Since the skeleton horse is actually controlled by Miriday, Mia, who is riding on the skeleton horse, does not need to be distracted and controlled, and has enough energy to harness the wind attribute magic to help everyone get out of trouble.

Outside of Shuer's Holy Light Purification Layer, there is actually a wind wall made of invisible wind, which can not only minimize the resistance to the team's advance, but also blow away most of the particles in the air, causing the plants to lose most of their offensive effects.

It can be said that now this shadow chasing team has done its best to fight against the hostile plants, and reduce the contact with the plants to a minimum, under normal circumstances, it is difficult to make any mistakes in the safety of the team.

However, being in the Otherworldly Projection, you can never think about things in terms of normal situations, everything that happens here is unknown, and it is not so normal.

"Dang", the sound of weapons clashing, suddenly sounded inside the team, and the two figures each took a step back, obviously the battle of strength was evenly matched, and the fast-moving team immediately stopped.

Shure turned his head and saw Saf hiding behind the skeleton horse under Mia's seat, looking at the dwarf Mobuck with strange eyes, and the two-handed greatsword was already in his hand.

As for Mobuck, he looked a little depressed, staring at the ground in a trance, muttering that he didn't know what he was talking about.

"What a situation. Shul frowned.

"He, he, he, he ......" was stared at by everyone, and the female swordsman was so frightened that she couldn't even say a complete sentence.

Mobuck suddenly raised his axe to kill himself by slashing his neck, but fortunately Sasa saw it and blocked it in time. "Moria, at the back, is the only one who sees the whole story.

"Suicide?" Shure narrowed his gaze, already hearing Mobuck's muttering.

"There's no hope, there's no hope, let's die, it's too tiring to run like this. ”

"Hell, chant the holy name of the Dark Moon, tranquilizer. Shuer had a straight face, and the magic that could calm his mind was released casually.

"Huh?" The magic worked immediately, and the dwarf shuddered, his dull and trance-like gaze suddenly regained his agility, and he looked at his battle axe in surprise, "I, I, how could I suddenly want to kill myself?"

"Keep going, don't stop. Without answering the question, Shul led the group to move again, a little slower than before, and asked with all his energy, "Tell me how you just felt." ”

"I don't know. Although the dwarf ran with everyone, he still didn't know why, "I just suddenly wanted to kill myself, and I couldn't figure out what was going on." ”

"Nonsense, I know you can't figure it out, I'm asking you how you felt at the time. Shul said irritably.

"Well, I just feel that everything is meaningless, and there is nothing left to live except for tiredness. The dwarf shrunk his neck in scolding, and said cautiously, "More and more desperate, I don't want to live anymore." ”

"I, I think it's a little ...... too," Saph stumbled, trying to say something but not sure.

"I didn't ask you now, and if you want to say anything, just say it, don't waste time. Shuer's gaze was gloomy, and his tone was very stern.

"Yes, yes. The female swordsman was so frightened by Shuer's attitude that she almost forgot to move, her head bowed and her eyes were red, "I'm sorry." ”

"Eh, Shure, I think you're so funny right now. Moria blinked and smiled dumbly, "It's like a different person, it's fun." ”

"No, no, I've been tricked, tranquilizer. ”

In a word, Xiu'er, who was becoming more and more irritable in his heart, suddenly understood, and with a wave of his hand, the tranquilization technique also washed over himself.

"It's not mind control, it's just that emotions are infected, but fortunately, tranquilizers can control it. ”

Shul just wanted to continue, but the halfling on the other side suddenly fell down with a weak foot, but fortunately he woke up in time, rolled on the ground a few times, and stood up again without slowing down.

"In the name of Luna, Lord of the Dark Moon, I pray for the mercy of the Moon. The problems that appeared one after another made Xiuer have no time to explain anything, and he directly raised his hands, and the light of mercy of a large range of calm and mental compassion was released casually, enveloping everyone in it.

"It's already close to the goal. As a team leader, you must not only make decisions, but also be able to mobilize the emotions of the players, "Just hold on for another 10 minutes." Don't worry, although I don't know how they do it, but it only affects everyone's emotions, and the tranquilizer can be restrained. ”

"Mobuck, the mountains are not far away, you can lead the way. ”

Indeed, after more than an hour of adventurous trekking, the target mountain range was already in sight, just as Mobuck had predicted, although the summit was overgrown with trees, the steep mountain walls were full of bare rocks, so to speak, there was no grass.

"Understood, leave it to me. "Although he almost killed himself just now, the dwarf knows that now is not the time to fear or apologize, the plants have already begun to find the weakness of the team, and if it drags on, the problem will only get worse, and it must be solved quickly.

"I'm the best at finding caves, all caves can't escape my eyes, I look, the mountains are going...... Mmmm, turn right thirteen degrees, ridge, col, col, not over there, keep going. ”

"This peak shape is good, look at it closely, no, the soil quality is wrong, don't go here." ”

"There, there must be a natural cave there, the sign is so obvious, there is no cave I dig my eyes out, let's go over there. ”

Pointing excitedly to the left, the dwarf took the lead and rushed towards a mountain wall.

Although it looked like it was a steep rock wall no different from the others, no one doubted the judgment of a geologist, and everyone immediately followed the dwarf and rushed to the side of the rock wall with him.

"Here, here, here, and here. "The dwarf spent a few seconds tapping and pounding on the rock wall, eventually leaving four marks on the hilt of the axe.

"Mia, it's up to you. Shure nodded to the elven mage.

Needless to say, four fireballs appeared from Mia's side and hit the marked position directly.

"Boom".

Smoke and dust are everywhere, and the rubble is peeling off.

Although dust is annoying, it represents hope out of danger.

But......

"Hell, how can this be?" came the dwarf's surprised roar from the smoke.

Behind the collapsed stone wall, there is still a dead end, and the stone wall has been replaced with a metal wall.

Yes, a metal wall stood in front of them, separating the dwarves from the cave.
