Chapter 42: The Black Rock Giant
It was two o'clock in the morning, there were no sandstorms, and the sun was still sleeping on the horizon, just like the dozen nights I had spent before, with no moon and few stars, and the sky was dim.
Of course, there should be no sunlight at night, sunlight is the privilege of the day, and only darkness belongs to the night.
However, just when there were more and more Void Demons and the pressure on the Shadow Chasers was increasing, and they had to consider a temporary retreat, the sunlight actually appeared.
There is no sun, but the sun appears, and no one will be mistaken, it must be sunshine.
Warm, bright, enthusiastic, with full of vitality, appears in the night out of thin air, descends from the sky, and shines on the earth.
The sunlight centered on the team of shadow chasers, quickly spreading outward, and the warm sunlight shone on the body, driving away the cold of the night and making everyone warm. Even the white wolf, because he had been hurt by the sun twice before, had to bark at the sky for a long time when he saw the sun in the past few days, oh no, it was a long howl, but this time, after howling a few times, he actually stuck out his tongue and wagged his tail comfortably.
After the sun, there is a breeze, not the sandstorm hurricane that we are used to seeing, but a real breeze.
The breeze blowing in the face, even with a faint moist breath, gave the skin of the shadow chasers who had been tortured for more than ten days a chance to breathe, and the dry and cracked skin frantically absorbed the thin water element in the wind, and was even reluctant to let go of even a gram of the element.
Where the sunlight comes from, where the wind comes from, the shadowchasers have absolutely no idea, but they are here to help, and it is enough to know this.
At the moment when the sunlight appeared, there was no energy fluctuation of spells, no amazing sound of explosions, no dazzling sound and light effects, as if the sun had to rise as usual every day, ordinary and unremarkable, but moisturizing things silently.
Then, the sun shines and the darkness melts.
Where the sunlight passed, all the darkness was dispelled, and there was obviously no energy flowing, but the black shadows that covered the earth, the void evil spirits that forced the shadow-chasers to have to retreat, turned into nothingness at the moment when the sunlight came, not energy neutralization, nor energy annihilation, but let the things that did not exist completely return to the state of non-existence.
Under the sun, it seems that you can hear whispers from the void, the voice seems to be chanting, and you can't understand a word, but everyone can feel the love and care that cannot be erased in the whispers.
The whispers are gentle and earnest, like the reluctant advice of a loving mother when a young child leaves home, or like the longing of parents in front of the house when a tired wanderer returns home at dusk. This pure, unreserved love made the hearts of the shadow chasers rise with a deep touch, even Shuer, who has experienced great ups and downs, has an urge to cry.
"It's ...... Are you helping?"
Shuer patted the backpack, not only him, but everyone in the team focused on the backpack behind Shuer.
It contained the stone axe, the sacrament of the gods, and the final hiding place of the three gods.
Of course, there was no answer, the three gods were so weak that they couldn't even conjure illusions in front of people, not to mention that they still had to accumulate strength and prepare to solve more important problems. Even so, they did not forget to divide their forces to help the Shadow Chaser, although the fundamental purpose was to let them complete the task entrusted by the three gods, but this help alone was enough to make everyone feel good.
"Quick, don't waste time. Shul was the first to react.
In the previous combat power, the more and more Void Evil Spirits gathered, so that Xiu'er had already seen the situation clearly, and the front must be the location of the Great Rift, the closer he got there, the more dense the Void Evil Spirits would naturally become, and in the end, it could even be said that it was difficult. If it had been as dense as it had just been, no matter what tactics they used, the Shadow Chasers would probably not be able to approach the Great Rift, let alone the location of the Water Goddess.
Fortunately, with the help of the gods, all the void evil spirits around everyone have dissipated, and they must take this opportunity to break into the hinterland of the Void evil spirit group and find the target of the mission.
It is true that it is very dangerous to do this, it can be regarded as cutting off one's own back road, which is not in line with Shuer's habits, but in fact, everyone actually has no back road, and there is no question of cutting off or not.
If you can't take this opportunity to rush in, in case the sunlight disappears and you lose the help of the gods, it is estimated that you will not be able to rush in for the rest of your life by relying on the strength of the shadow chasers alone, and if you can't rush in, it means that you can't find a way to escape, and everyone can only stay here forever.
It's a terrible outcome, and it must not be allowed to happen.
Therefore, Xiuer straightened his face for the first time and urged urgently.
"Hurry, seize every second, Moria, keep an eye on the priest and the wolf. ”
"Mia, Miridy, the survival supplies are lost, don't worry about the water, I still have a lot on my back. ”
"Mobuck, all the non-special baggage is abandoned, and there is time to come back to get it after the fact, and there is no need to worry that someone will steal it, even if there is no time to come back and get it, they are not life-important. ”
"Saff, pay attention to your glasses, they're about to fall off, put them back on, and now if they break, it's going to be hilarious.
"Macajalen, Macajalen, uh, sorry I didn't see it. ”
"Kelly, you concentrate on pointing in the right direction, it's up to you to find the target, the others, a little faster, but pay attention to the formation. ”
Shuer is indeed very anxious, because no one knows when the sunlight above his head will disappear, if he can always exist of course, of course, it is the best, but the probability is too low, he can only treat every second as the last second of the existence of the sun, he must hurry, but he can't let his guard down.
"Don't mess up, Saf, you're two meters to the left. Everyone, keep the highest level of vigilance, and always be careful of evil spirits that slip through the net. ”
"Macajalen, you have the fastest reaction speed, once an evil spirit approaches against the sun, you are responsible for cleaning up, remember, don't stop when you clean up, everything is centered on rushing to the target location as quickly as possible. ”
It turned out that Shuer's worries were obviously a little unnecessary, there was not a single Void Evil Spirit that had slipped through the net, and the range of sunlight was like a Jedi to the Void Spirit, as long as he stepped into it, he would never be lucky.
In fact, it should be so, although Xiu'er is thoughtful, he is still a mortal after all, and he can't fully understand how far the power of the gods can go.
Just like the sunlight that makes the void evil spirit dissipate, according to the understanding method of mortals, it is to neutralize the void evil spirit with energy, so if all the evil spirits are huddled together, even if it is the sunlight formed by divine power, it will inevitably leave a fish that slips through the net. But the power of the gods is not at all what mortals can imagine, the sun is warm and soft, and there is no special energy that can make the void evil spirit dissipate, relying on the negation of the void evil spirit.
God said that under the sun, you should not exist, so the evil spirits in the sun really do not exist, and this is the power of the gods.
Of course, the impact is limited to the scope of this small piece of sunlight, if you want the entire world to have no void evil spirits under the real sunlight, then you need to modify the rules of the entire endless void, and it is estimated that a hundred sun gods can't do it.
Even if it's superfluous, it doesn't hurt to be cautious, as long as it doesn't slow down.
Fortunately, the speed is indeed not slow, and the sunlight is also very reliable to maintain, under the sun, Kelly has been holding her arm, simply closing her eyes, relying on the induction of the divine power of water to find her way, the outstretched index finger continues to adjust the amplitude of the pointing, and the direction of her fingertips is the goal of the shadowchasers.
Soon, however, the Shadowchasers didn't need her guidance, as they nearly stopped in frustration after turning a sand dune.
In the field of vision, the space was cut diagonally with a huge rift of hundreds of meters, although it was different from the rift that Shuer saw in the illusion that stretched for thousands of meters, but thinking that the goddess of water had been trying to close the rift for many years, it was understandable that it was now on this scale.
On the rift, a rock giant more than 30 meters tall was lying on the left and right sides of the rift and interrupted, grabbing the space like grasping two pieces of cloth, and forcibly aligning the two sides of the rift in the space to prevent the rift from continuing to expand.
The middle part of the rift was indeed forcibly closed, but the two ends were still open, and large black images came out of the openings at both ends like black smoke from the chimney, and although most of them rushed towards the giant soon after they came out, and then disappeared from the giant's side for some reason, there were still many lucky evil spirits who were not attracted to it, but instead diverged outward and walked farther and farther.
These lucky Void Evil Spirits are only a few, however, the base is large, and the time is long, no matter how few they are, they will become endless, just like the Xiu'er they encountered just now.
It's been long enough, I don't know that the giant has maintained this posture and fought with the big rift for too many years, during which the rift body has not been able to continue to expand, but if you want to re-seal, it seems that it is impossible, and the gaps at both ends seem to be unpluggable.
It's not that the giant only grabbed the crack and broke it, although it looks more similar, but it's not a tear on the clothes, only the middle of the sew will be exposed on both sides, this is a spatial rift, under normal circumstances, control the middle section, the gap at both ends will gradually shrink, until finally completely closed. However, the current situation is that the two ends refuse to close no matter what, recalling the explanations given by the three gods before, everyone looked at the rock giant's eyes, and they all carried a bit of sadness and pity.
If this rock giant still has sense, he must be at a loss when he knows the truth.
And what do you have to do? Cooperate with the three gods to send this tragic black giant away, although this is a necessary sacrifice, but it will inevitably produce feelings of self-loathing.
Wait, black giant?
Indeed, the rock giants are no longer the blue of statues or environments, but a deep black, and perhaps this is the result of pollution.
Bowing deeply to the giant with his back to him, Shure sighed and pulled out the stone axe from his backpack.
