Chapter Ninety-Three: The Canyon
On the afternoon of the eighth day of departure, the caravan crossed the plains on a clear day, and was about to enter the vast expanse of the Blood Forest, named after the abundance of an ore called the Blood Jade. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Blood Fei is not precious, but it is extremely versatile, weapons, armor casting, and some utensils will be mixed in, so the demand is huge, and people come and go to the forest to dig ore all year round.
The Blood Fei Forest is located in the southern hinterland of the Central Continent, and even in the deep winter, the temperature is above freezing.
Before reaching the forest, the caravan must also cross a moat, which is also the first dangerous pass to return to the noble steppe-
Ash Grand Canyon.
Rodin learned about the origin of the canyon from Toyah.
The Ash Grand Canyon, which has a history of 2,000 years to date, is as long as the Empire has endured, and is quite monumental.
The distance between the two sides of the canyon is more than 100 meters, and I don't know how deep it is, and there is no end in sight. The valley is surrounded by strange rocks and strange trees, and there are often strange sounds coming from it, which is terrifying.
The birth of the canyon is legendary, and he is still skeptical.
According to Toyah, more than 2,000 years ago, the Sith the Great led an army of powerful men to pursue the evil wizard here, and when he saw the heavy casualties of the army accompanying him, he was furious, drew his sword at his waist, and swung a sword.
With that sword, the sun and moon were gone, the earth trembled, and countless heretical wizards and monster minions were turned into dirt and dust under this sword.
The aftermath of that sword tore a huge crack in the entire ground, and this crack, after the changes of time, has become the Ash Grand Canyon in front of the caravan today.
Luo Dan privately thought that this was the praise and praise of the founding fathers of their own country by the people of the Otherworldly Empire, similar to the earth.
He was a little skeptical, as far as he knew, even the Golden Tier at the top of the food chain could not possess such tremendous destructive power.
Up to now, there are only a handful of golden ranks, and any one of them is a peerless powerhouse that is enough to start a sect.
He didn't even think about the holy steps beyond the golden level, in the literature of people's praise of virtue, there are strong people of the holy rank who split the mountains and seas and hide in the mountains and forests.
And the three emperors are not inferior to the existence of the Holy Order.
An empire was built with unparalleled power.
It belongs to a realm that is difficult for mortals to touch.
After a moment of distraction, he struggled to lift the curtains and poke his head out of the window.
The shadows of the trees on both sides of the road and the bare branches were bare, swaying slightly with gusts of cold wind, with a little desolation and confusion.
Under the tall dead trees, clusters of grass grow tenaciously and sway.
When I turned my eyes, I saw that the speed of the team in front of me had slowed down significantly, and the straight pillars like the abutments of the two suspension bridges loomed.
"Giggles. Kiki, who was lying in his arms, burst into a burst of laughter like a silver bell.
"Big brother, Sister Cynthia, we're about to cross the Ash Grand Canyon. β
"Little one, why are you so excited, you've been here before, aren't you afraid?"
Kikige showed a mouthful of fine silver teeth, and Pear Vortex smiled lightly: "I've been here with my mother twice, it's fun there!" Standing on the suspension bridge and dangling over, swinging over, and looking down, the clouds are shrouded in mist, and you can see some beautiful birds. β
"Uh. β
Luo Dan quietly wiped a cold sweat, he couldn't see that this Yuxue's cute little Lori was so fat, ordinary children had already been scared and cried by this height.
As for himself, he had a faint fear of heights, but he gritted his teeth and got through.
Soon after, the team officially stepped onto the suspension bridge.
If you look closely, you can see that the bridge is made of dark brown solid wood planks, and the surface of the board is pitted, which can be seen to be very old, but it is still strong and strong.
The suspension bridge is about five meters wide, and on both sides are suspension cables woven with dark iron chains, densely packed, cold and hard to the touch, giving people an inexplicable sense of peace of mind.
For the sake of safety, the team was divided into a dozen parts, and waves crossed the bridge in an orderly manner. Otherwise, the drawbridge simply cannot support the weight of the cargo.
Soon it was Rodin's turn, and the first three groups were all unharmed, and they didn't think much about it.
After entering the drawbridge, the carriage began to sway slightly, not by a large margin, and the horses pulling the carriage snorted uneasily, but were calmed down by the coachman. Kikige poked her little head out of the window in excitement, and Rodin felt a little scared, and his heart was pounding.
"Big brother, big sister, look at it, it's such a beautiful cloud, we're walking on the clouds!"
"Giggles"
Cynthia also poked her head out curiously, and her face was shocked, as if she had seen something unusual.
Rodin took a deep breath and dragged Lori back.
Then, I forced myself to look out the window.
The carriage window was very close to the suspension cables on either side, and he leaned out a little, his eyes suddenly over the bridge below.
In the canyon, the hazy white mist lingers, drifting, wriggling, the shape is strange, changeable, the caravan is like walking in the clouds, a gust of valley wind whistling through the canyon, brushing the cheeks of pedestrians, as if a gentle and cool little hand is caressing, incomparably fresh, infiltrating the heart and spleen.
On the stone walls on both sides of the canyon, you can see the strange rocks with teeth and claws, the dead trees that bend and knot, they appear and disappear from time to time in the hazy clouds, such as real and illusory, at a cursory glance, like a group of small beasts in the valley you chase me, the joy is non-stop.
Perhaps he was bewildered by this fairy-like scenery, but he didn't notice it at all, and the fear of altitude in his heart disappeared.
All that remained was admiration and intoxication.
"Okay, big brother, let me take a look too, don't take it alone!"
Kikige squeezed over with a small mouth, her little head rising from Rodin's arms, and her big eyes looked out the window.
On the other side of the window, little Ryan, who was firmly held in Cynthia's arms, quietly stooled his fat chin to the edge of the window, his long eyelashes fluttering, and he fell into a cute state of trance.
"Rodin, do you think there will be people living under this canyon?"
Cynthia suddenly asked with some curiosity.
He pondered for a moment, and Kikige rushed ahead to give an answer: "Sister Cynthia, I think there must be someone living below, you see what a beautiful place, if it wasn't for my mother's permission, I would have moved down there a long time ago." It's nice and fun to stay in!"
He couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's unfathomable below, if it's really inhabited, that person must definitely fly." β
As soon as the words fell, a sharp roar suddenly sounded in the mist-shrouded canyon.
"Phew-"
In the blink of an eye, a gray shadow broke through the fog and flew near the drawbridge, whistling back and forth in the sky above the caravan, like a silver lightning bolt, with a warning whistling.
"What a big eagle!"
The owner of the whistling sound is a huge flying eagle with an incomparably divine horse.
Oily silver-gray feathers, with outstretched wings that could almost cover the entire carriage, roughly estimated to be three meters.
The long beak is like a scimitar, and the strong claws of the feet are glittering with cold light, and can easily penetrate the human skull.
At this moment, the carriage and a large amount of cargo were on the suspension bridge, and if the giant eagle made a surprise attack, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The voices of people on the suspension bridge roared, and there was an instant uproar.
As the wings of the giant eagle flapped, the airflow near the suspension bridge was affected, and the amplitude of the bridge vibration increased significantly, which made people worry.
"What a dangerous guy. β
His heart jumped, and the little face of Kikige in his arms shrank back with a pale face.
"So, is that an eagle?"
Cynthia asked with a stammering hug on little Ryan.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, I won't let it hurt you!"
Rodin said secretly: "Don't think you can fly, I can't do anything about you!"
The giant eagle was only a dozen meters away from them, within the range of the attack of the power of the bloodline.
However, before he could react, in the convoy, I don't know who suddenly threw a large piece of meat into the sky.
The silver phantom snorted, its sickle-like claws grasping at the piece of flesh.
The giant eagle let out a roar of joy and circled in the air, and in less than a breath, it turned back into the mist.
Kikige's mother, Toya, followed closely behind, and got into the carriage with a worried face.
"Whewββ, everyone is fine!"
"That giant eagle just wanted to ask for some benefits, and it didn't bother us, and now it has been sent away, so don't worry"
Little Lori was still a little frightened, and hugged Rodin's waist tightly.
On the other side, Toya smiled with a complicated mood: "This little guy, the sticky strength is not too crooked, and he doesn't even care if his mother comes, I'm going to be jealous." β
Kikige didn't say a word, and continued to bury her head in his arms, squeezing like a kitten.
"I'm really bothering you to take care of her, Rodin. β
Rodin smiled happily: "Where, Kikige is so cute, I also like it very much, I feel very loved." β
"By the way, have you ever experienced something like this before through Ash Canyon?"
Toya stroked her bangs with a feminine smile, and explained with a smile: "I've seen it a few times before, but it hasn't appeared for a while in the middle, so how to say it, I feel that it's a bit bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and it specifically picks on kind-hearted caravans like us." Who would have thought that this time it would happen to bump into?"
"No, it scares the baby enough. β
"Good boy, this eagle is all fine!"
Rodin sighed to himself, but he didn't remember any mention of the eagle in the monster's diary.
There are so many types of monsters, and he doesn't think that just a monster diary can record them all.
"It doesn't seem to be hostile, but it's a pity, if you can get up close and learn more about its habits, you can continue to improve the monster handbook. β
He couldn't help but think:
"Under this canyon, since there is such a divine falcon, there may be other magical creatures, if they are strong in the future, they will definitely have to go down and explore. β
Of course, his current entry into the Ash Grand Canyon is just a presumptuous act of death.
After the eagle got the food, he did not come back to harass the caravan.
It took almost an hour for the caravan to cross the drawbridge one after another.
The shaky sense of detachment is gone, and finally "down-to-earth" again, and at the same time, a new and magnificent scene is presented in front of you.
