Volume 2 Pointing the way to the country, Edgeworth is riding the wind. Chapter 056: Canyon
In the midst of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, there is an endless desert.
There is no life in this desert, but there is a canyon full of strange rocks.
It is called a canyon, but there is no vegetation at all. In the vast desert hills, this scattered strange rock will form a canyon-like landform here.
The aura here is thin, and the power of darkness and light is also suppressed here. Even if you are a tenth-order master, your strength here will only be suppressed to the peak of the seventh-order.
Legend has it that this is a place where a god master fell, and it was originally a primeval forest full of vitality, but with the collapse of the power in the body of this peerless master, all the vitality here has also disappeared.
No one wants to come to this barren place, because if you stay here for a long time, the cultivation in your body will slowly dissipate with the passage of time.
No one knew the reason for this, so this Canyon of the Dead has also become a mystery in the Dark Light Continent, and at the same time, it has also become an absolute forbidden place.
However, this time is different from the past, the Valley of the Dead is extremely lively, which stems from the opening of a mysterious space, that is, the legendary space of the dead.
One of the most important reasons why the Canyon of the Dead is called the Canyon of the Dead is this mysterious space.
The rare resources contained in this mysterious space are enough to attract the powerful people on this continent to risk their lives to find them. However, due to the limitations of this seventh-order peak of dark power, the strength of the people who came here was generally below the seventh-order.
Why don't those eighth-order and ninth-order masters come? This is actually very easy to explain.
In terms of the resources in this Canyon of the Dead, those peerless masters of the Eighth Order and the Ninth Order basically looked down on them, and the resources that the Seventh Order could need were also extremely rare here.
Second, the martial arts on the Dark Light Continent are relatively scarce, and most of the fights rely on the power of darkness and light to urge moves to exert their power, swordsmen generally sprint and slash, and warlocks and mages will only urge spells to release spells. Therefore, on this Dark Light Continent, it is basically impossible to skip the level of slashing, although it is not that there are no such absolute examples, but it is indeed very rare.
Just imagine, whether you are an eighth order or a ninth order here, you can only exert the strength of the seventh order peak, in case those eighth and ninth order masters stage a script where the horse stumbles, then death will definitely not fit the eye.
Who wants to be killed by someone who is not as good as themselves?
I'm afraid that those big people in the eighth and ninth orders in this world don't have such a good attitude. And they want status, status, strength, and strength, and they don't bother to risk running here.
However, although there are many seventh-order masters on the Dark Light Continent, there are not many. The seventh-order is the level of the marquis, and generally cultivating to this level can be regarded as a one-party figure, so some masters at the peak of the seventh-order are too lazy to come to this troubled water, so there are not all masters here who are around the seventh order, and the fifth-order and sixth-order cultivators are the most existing here.
However, the Canyon of the Dead is special in that there are often undead haunts, that is, a natural place for training, and some princes and grandsons of great families or principalities will come here to experience and experience. And although those high-ranking lords themselves do not appear, they are also worried about these golden branches and jade leaves, so they will also send seventh-order masters to escort them, so every time the Canyon of the Dead is opened, there will be seventh-order masters here, but it is definitely extremely rare.
Without further ado, let's take a look at what's going on in this canyon.
The entrance to the undead space will not open for half an hour, but some of the young talents of the Dark and Light Empires have come here early. They naturally divided into two areas, and each of them greeted someone they knew.
Although the Dark Light Continent has not seen any major wars in a hundred years, the hostility has not dissipated with this peace. Every fight for resources in the Canyon of the Dead is basically divided into two empires as the faction.
However, this kind of battle is usually a small fight, and there are not too many casualties. Because after all, with the peace agreement between the Demon Emperor and the Holy Emperor, the two sides will not go too far.
But every time the Canyon of the Dead is opened, no more than two-thirds of the people who enter it and come out will come out. The official explanation given is that he was killed by the undead, but the real situation is definitely not like this.
Needless to say, the situation on the side of the Dark Empire, although these people all believe in the dark god on the surface, but among the hundreds of tribes, they each have their own beliefs.
For example, the beast clan, they believe in the beast god who broke through the tenth order of dark power and became a god tens of thousands of years ago.
And when it comes to the elf race, what they believe in is the elven king who broke through the shackles of this dark light continent tens of thousands of years ago.
Therefore, in the camp of the Dark Empire, no one knows who is the real trusted companion, and after entering this mysterious space full of undead, anyone is likely to attack whom, just because of those rare resources.
Even if it is your most trusted partner, you can't absolutely trust it at this moment, because every time the lives that pass away in this mysterious space, many of them are killed by these bloodthirsty and ruthless masters of dark power.
The young talents of the Dark Empire camp are all laughing and joking, with exaggerated smiles on their faces, at their so-called friends. But the thought of the corpses that were displayed in the Canyon of the Dead every time made the smile shudder.
They usually get along like friends who have died, but when they encounter the slightest benefit, they will immediately turn their faces and fight, this is the atmosphere of the Dark Empire, and it is also the law.
The law of the jungle.
The situation of the Anti-Tourism Empire is better on the surface, after all, it believes in the Holy Light Church, everyone is the people of the Great God of Light, and working together for good is also the common idea of the vast majority of people.
But the truth is not what they seem.
Some of them greeted politely, others sat quietly with their eyes closed, and some of them chanted words of prayer facing the sky.
These are all illusions of peace now, that people are selfish, and that the Empire of Light is not as peaceful as it seems.
Although the pride of these days is polite, they also secretly have their own thoughts. They usually have a lot of battles, and the bloodshed of the battles in this undead canyon is actually as good as the Dark Empire, otherwise how could they only come back two-thirds of the people after opening this undead space every time.
Although these things can be hidden from those ordinary people who don't understand the world, they can't hide them from these real cultivators.
Looking at these people with fake smiles, a shirtless beast clan strong man snorted coldly, and the sarcasm and contempt on his face were not concealed at all.
"Hmph. Hypocritical human beings, it's disgusting. ”
The strong man had fangs, long hair that was braided into several small pieces and draped over his shoulders, and a lion's head tattoo on his muscular chest, which was supposed to be the totem of their tribe.
"It's a hot conversation right now, and I'll get a knife in the back after a while. These guys from the Empire of Light are the most disgusting. ”
"Masat, don't get so excited. ”
A minotaur next to him patted him on the shoulder, and the exaggerated tendon flesh was intimidating.
"It's not the first time you've seen anything like this. ”
The minotaur smiled roughly.
"Aren't the gentlemen they pretend to be just a foreshadowing for the knife later?"
"Tucker, you're so right. ”
The orc Massat pursed his lips and said with a contemptuous expression,
"These self-proclaimed high-minded guys are even more vicious than those stinky bats. ”
Legend has it that the Bloods are actually a branch of the Orcs, and their ancestors were bats. However, after becoming human, these bloods began to intermarry with the Terrans and abandoned their orc identity, which attracted the collective hatred of the orcs.
The entire orc clan hates the blood clan more than the Holy Light Church, which is why the Principality of Asammet is always in constant friction with the orc clan. And this 'stinky bat' is also the name of all orcs for their contempt for the blood clan.
Hearing Marsat talk about the Blood, Tucker the Minotaur looked at the Bloods not far away.
Every year when the Valley of the Dead opens, many elite powerhouses from the four major principalities of the blood clan will come. However, most of the cultivators who came were fifth- and sixth-order cultivators, and there were generally very few seventh-order masters, so these powerhouses of the seventh-order peak of the principality became the most eye-catching existence.
"Mousse, Solaka......"
Looking at the two seventh-order peak masters not far away, Tucker's face was slightly solemn.
"Asamat and Vlad Kimir still value the opening of the Canyon of the Dead this time, and they are still the masters who sent out the seventh-order peaks"
As Tucker looked at him, Massat pursed his lips in disdain.
"The powerhouses of the Grand Duke level will not take a fancy to the resources of the Valley of the Dead, you see that the other two principalities in the Hikari Kingdom have not sent powerhouses of the seventh order, I think this Assammet and Vlad Kimir two guys should still want to experience the juniors. ”
Looking at the two black-robed men beside Mousse and Soraka who covered their faces, Tucker's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Thorpe and Alice. ”
With a cold snort, Massat said slowly,
"Who doesn't know the identities of the two of them?
"Don't say that. ”
Tucker bumped Massat on the shoulder and said with a smirk,
"That's almost the same, after all, not the true heir of the family. But then Her Royal Highness Alice is the successor of the Duchy, why can't she pretend to be the future lord of the country?"
"Sneer......"
The disdain on Massat's face grew stronger.
"It is said that Alice is the strongest person of the younger generation except for the Holy Maiden, but in my opinion she is just a flower in a greenhouse. In terms of strength and actual combat experience, she is comparable to our Highness Monteis. ”
At the mention of Prince Montean of the Orc Clan, Tucker's face also radiated a hint of brilliance.
"Yes, His Highness Montas crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood, how can he be compared to Alice who grew up in that kind of brocade and jade environment? In my opinion, although the Holy Maiden Irene was born with the Saint Radiance bloodline, if she really fights, she may not be His Highness's opponent. ”
Speaking of the Holy Maiden, Massat couldn't help but look at the camp of the Empire of Light.
"But then again, there are a lot more people in this Empire of Light this year than in previous years. ”
As Massat's gaze grew, Tucker was a little suspicious.
"Not only are there a lot of people, but there seem to be a lot of strange guys over there. ”
The two looked at the camp of the Empire of Light, and saw that in the most inconspicuous corner of the camp of the Empire of Light, more than a dozen promoted figures dressed in white robes covering their faces stood quietly on the side.
They seemed to stand casually, but they seemed to be tightly surrounding the figure in the middle.
Massat and Tucker couldn't make out the man's position because they were standing so tightly, so they couldn't help but mutter, because they had never seen anything like this in this Canyon of the Dead.
As if sensing the gaze of the two, a white-robed figure close to the outer circle tilted its head slightly to look at the two.
I saw a cold light flash in the exposed eyes, which directly made the two of them shiver together!
