Chapter 780: Death Mountain Range

Eighteen years ago, George and Elizabeth decided to go out and have a good time, and at that time they were also young, both teenagers.

During this time, they met an adventure group and decided to join it and follow them as they explored the frontier.

The border here refers to the border of human activities, and the forces outside are completely unknown, and many times even if the strong people of the third class go out, they can't come back, so the map of the outside world becomes extremely precious.

Every exploration will be extremely costly, but the rewards will be very rich.

The head of the regiment was named Duolun, a young man in his twenties, with more than a hundred brothers under his command, all of whom were in this business.

This time, the employer was a nobleman, and it was said that if he recorded the geographical features of a mountain peak at the end of the map, he would be paid 200 gold coins.

This is almost astronomical for an ordinary adventuring party, and besides, the nobleman also paid a hundred gold coins in advance as a deposit.

That night, several people got together to discuss.

Elizabeth, as the only magician in the team, had a very high status, and at that time, George's strength was the strongest in the adventure group, and people respected the couple very much.

Duolun said: "This nobleman bids so high, will there be any special circumstances? I always feel that these nobles can't believe it!"

Elizabeth and George glanced at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes, they were the biggest nobles in the country.

Duolun said as he took out the map, from the current geographical location, this map records the westernmost part of the strength of the Immortal Bird Empire, the Paladin Principality is to the west, there is a barren mountain range, it is said that they are all black and brown stones, without any living things, very weird.

Legend has it that passing through this mountain range will lead to a mountain cursed by the devil, and if you record the appearance of this peak, they will receive another hundred gold coins.

Of course, Elizabeth and George didn't come for money at all, they did it to make a name for themselves and show the elders of the family their strength.

"I don't think there's a problem, but it's a little weird, and we've not encountered it before!" George said proudly.

"I agree!" Elizabeth has always been the backbone of George, and she will do whatever George says, and she is definitely a good helper.

In fact, Duolun was also tempted, the temptation of two hundred gold coins was too great, even if it was divided equally among the brothers, one person could get two gold coins, which was almost a year's income from their work.

"Okay, since we all agree, I will inform the brothers to set off tomorrow, everyone get ready, Ah Cai, you take the sisters to buy tomorrow, remember that things must be the best, and they must not be shoddy, otherwise they will be fatal at a critical time!"

Acai is a girl, about twenty years old, who specializes in the procurement of various supplies, she is talented and well-connected in this area, and can often buy good things that other adventure parties simply can't buy.

"I'll do something, don't worry!" Ah Cai smiled, although this girl was not very good-looking at all, but she was still very cute when she smiled.

After another three days, everything was ready and the group officially moved forward.

They were on the edge of the Paladin Principality, and it took them a few days to reach the fabled Death Mountains.

As a result, there was another torrential rain, which delayed a little time, and finally set up camp on the edge of the Death Mountains.

More than a hundred people, heavily armed, waited until the rainstorm had passed, and swaggered into the Death Mountains.

Although the name sounds scary, it is actually not that scary at all, after all, the Death Mountain Range has been explored by many people, and it is so named because there is no grass in this mountain range, and there are no other creatures.

Because of this, the danger factor is extremely low, and there is no fear of something special to sneak attack!

As long as you have plenty of food and water, you will be able to survive unharmed.

These people have never thought about why there is no grass here, why there is not even a single ant here?

The Death Mountain Range is more than a hundred miles long, and even if it is a rapid march, it will take two or three days to pass, after all, it is a mountain road with a load, and it cannot be compared with the plains at all.

Duolun ordered his men to be vigilant at all times, but these people were giggling, and they also knew that the Death Mountain Range was not too dangerous, so they didn't take their leader's words to heart at all.

After four days of walking in the Death Mountains, the group was finally about to leave the Death Mountains, and nothing happened in the four days, and Duolun was also relieved, fortunately there were no accidents, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Although the mountain road is a little more difficult to walk, it is not a problem at all for them who have experienced many adventures.

By the evening of the fourth day, the people had set up camp on the edge of the Death Mountain Range, and did not dare to continue a single step, for the simple reason that the Death Mountain Range was still under control, but one step further was completely unknown territory, and no one knew what would happen.

"Everyone settle down here with peace of mind, have a good rest, start exploring the wasteland tomorrow, no one knows what will happen, everyone writes a suicide note today, if you die, I will help you give the suicide note to your family!" Duolun's voice was very heavy.

The members of the group were not afraid, everyone wrote their own suicide note, after all, no one knows what will happen to this kind of thing, and their lives may be gone in the next second, this is definitely not sensational!

Elizabeth and George also prepared a suicide note and handed it into the hands of the regimental commander, Doron.

There is a small box in Duolun's hand, which is specially prepared for the suicide note, if Doron dies, this small box will be taken over by George, if George dies, this little boy will be taken over by Elizabeth, and it will be passed on layer by layer!

It may be their last peaceful night!

Tonight I slept comfortably until about one o'clock in the morning, when Elizabeth felt cold outside, and opened the tent to see that it was raining outside.

"Is it the rainy season at this time, why is it so poor?" muttered Elizabeth, but she was too young to think too much about it, and just as she was about to go back to sleep, there was a rumbling thunder in the sky.

"Thunder?" said Elizabeth, without much thought, and after returning to the tent, she slipped into George's arms.

Many of these groups are very vigilant, and when they see it raining outside, they suggest that they build their camps on the peaks of the mountains so that they don't get flooded in the event of a flood!

As a result, the rain became heavier and heavier, and most people were woken up by the sound of the rain.

"What the hell is this weather? Why is it still raining? It's the dry season now!" Ah Cai muttered, but she had already purchased raincoats in advance when she came, and even in the dry season, there would be heavy rains from time to time, and the members of the group said that Ah Cai was prescient.

However, the mutation occurred at this time, and a lightning bolt was seen in the sky, and then one of the members of the group let out a scream, and then there was no breath.

The people were startled by the screams, and rushed over to take a look, only to find that the person was dead, and his whole body was scorched black, which was very terrifying.

Duolun was a little uneasy in his heart, he died before he got to the right place, and he died before he got out of the school!

"Everyone be careful, don't be struck by lightning......" Duolun just said this, and another thunderbolt fell from the sky, and the thunder and lightning struck the earth, like a pen condensed by electric light on the ground at will, and the place where the thunder light passed, the huge scorched black ravines produced disappeared for a long time.

Doron's face changed suddenly, and he now finally knew why this valley was called the Death Mountains.

Looking at the thunder and lightning brewing in the sky, Duolun couldn't care about the rain anymore, and yelled at the people: "Everyone, run, the lightning in the sky is crazy, hurry up and run out of the Death Mountain Range......"

The people did not hear what was said at all, because it was muffled by the sound of great thunder, and the thunder and lightning swept the ground like spears thrown by the gods, and from time to time someone was struck and killed.

At this time, everyone panicked and ran madly towards the periphery of the Death Mountain Range, and Elizabeth was directly carried by George on the shoulders and rushed out as fast as she could.

"Magic shield!" Elizabeth added a shield to her boyfriend, even if it couldn't stop the lightning, it had a psychological effect.

And at that time, George was already close to the second class, running extremely fast, leaving everyone far behind in an instant.

People are in a mess, lightning is falling from the sky like raindrops, and the whole area becomes a pool of thunder, how can any creatures survive in this environment?

That's why this place is called the Mountains of Death!

"Damn, why didn't anyone tell us this, or else we'd have to wait for a sunny day to come back!" Doron scolded, a good friend of his was killed by lightning in front of him, and Doren didn't even dare to collect the body, and ran desperately.

There are more and more lightning, and in the end, the eyes of the people who are flashing are painful, Duolun covers his head, and he doesn't care about any materials, and the most important thing is to survive the current situation.

I don't know how long I ran, a lightning bolt in the sky suddenly slashed down on Duolun, and it split next to Duolun, Duolun was so frightened that he closed his eyes directly, at this time the power of man is too small in front of nature.

Who knew that when the lightning was about to hit him, the track turned into an arc and passed by him.

At this time, many people knew that they had left the Death Mountain Range.

"Everyone run to me, I won't be struck by lightning here!"
