Roy mobilized his magic power and summoned twenty second-level skeleton archers and axemen in succession, ten third-level skeleton commanders, and two fourth-level skeleton generals.

Finally, Roy also summoned a level 5 Death Knight Commander. Unexpectedly, as soon as the Death Knight Commander appeared, the dry and hard muscles on his body that were like a hundred refined iron were directly melted by the clouds.

And without the loss of flesh and blood, this fifth-level death knight commander is only a little stronger in soul fire, and his combat power is not much stronger than that of a fourth-level skeleton general.

This gave Roy a deeper understanding of the clouds. It seems that as long as it is flesh and blood, it will not escape the fate of being corrupted by the clouds. Rocks, abyssal plants, steel, bones, and the like are not affected by them.

Under Roy's command, the skeletons began to make their way to the top of the mountain.

Because the abyssal demons along the way have already scattered and fled. Those who can't escape are either dead or hiding. Therefore, the skeleton soldiers walked in the clouds, and there was no danger. Only the steep mountain walls and slippery ground brought a little trouble.

It had taken most of the time to pray, and the skeletons had climbed the mountainside.

Through the skeleton's vision, Roy noticed that the further up he went, the thicker the clouds became. In the fog, a large number of thick fog masses appeared. It's like hail mixed in the snow. It wasn't until it fell that it gradually dispersed and melted into the clouds.

This strange phenomenon made Roy extremely curious.

The appearance of these thick fog masses indicates that the clouds do not originate from a single source. It's more like it was produced from countless small sources and eventually brought together.

And this phenomenon is very different from what people know about the clouds in the data.

Roy was a little excited. You know, this discovery alone is enough to refresh the course of human research on clouds. If you calculate the rewards of the Mission Hall, you will have enough points to jump from a Level 3 mercenary to a level 5 mercenary, and get a second Eagle Feather Badge!

After all, for many years, human research on clouds has been far from the source. Ability to sample in clouds. It is a great risk to analyze the ingredients, understand the characteristics of their movements, and find ways to avoid danger by relying on caves.

This is also the time I encountered the Dark Basin mutation. Luckily, I happened to bump into this mountain section and hit the door. Otherwise, it would take a lifetime just to find the source.

The skeleton soldier moved on.

On the mountainside, there is a large protruding cliff.

The cliffs not only block the view below, but are also steep and difficult to navigate. Roy commanded the skeleton soldiers. It took almost half a prayer to finally climb up.

As soon as you go up to the cliff, Roy is greeted by a huge cave. An endless gray mist is rolling in from the cave. It's like a waterfall, flying down the cliff to the bottom of the mountain.

"Is this where the clouds come from?"

...............

...............

Meanwhile.

In the center of the Dark Basin, a huge valley suddenly began to collapse downwards without warning. The trees, rocks, dirt on the ground, demons and various creatures of the abyss who had no time to escape all fell.

The earth shook. The entire collapse process lasted for half a prayer hour.

By the time the dust cleared, a huge black hole had appeared on the ground. Black holes are bottomless. Clouds of black gas surged upwards from the bottom of the cave. A roar came from the depths of the cave. Looming on the walls of the cave. Black figures, constantly climbing upwards.

A roar echoed through the valley. Several fifth-level demons who were terrified by the collapse of the ground stared at this black hole in the valley with frightened eyes. After a few moments, they fled frantically into the distance, as if they had encountered something terrible.

However, their escape did not last long.

Soon, an even more ferocious roar came from the black hole. At the same time, a huge coercion spread in all directions.

As soon as I heard the voice. The fleeing demons all stopped, crawling on the ground and shivering.

Then, one by one, they came from the top of the mountain. From the banks of the lava river, from the dense forests and swamps, they converged to form black torrents.

In just one or two prayers, the number of abyssal demons gathered at the edge of the black hole had already exceeded tens of thousands. Look down from the air. It's like muddy water gushing out of a black hole, constantly spreading in all directions.

Finally, as a cloud of black mist poured out of the hole, the climbing shadows leaped up. They trampled on the creeping demons, baring their teeth and claws, and roaring fiercely. The red light in his eyes dodged, revealing the claws in his hands and the fangs in his mouth, and his long tail swaying from side to side.

It was a huge demon. In addition to the sixth-level demons, there are also seventh-level, eighth-level, and even ninth-level demons!

These demons, who were not supposed to belong to the third layer of the abyss, jumped out of the bottomless black hole one after another. A wild roar resounded through the valley.

And with the appearance of these demons, the black gas in the black hole became more intense. The endless black mist surged wildly, gathering together and getting thicker and thicker. Eventually, it gradually liquefied, forming a black film of water like a pool of ink at the mouth of the black hole.

The roaring of the demons stopped.

The high-level demons who were the first to jump out of the black hole were all prostrate on the ground, staring nervously at the entrance of the cave, just like other low-level demons.

At that moment, suddenly, the earth shook.

With a bang, a huge figure rushed up from the bottom of the black hole and slammed into the black water film, pushing it out into a terrifying shape.

Affected by this impact, the black qi was like being stabbed in a hornet's nest, and it gathered even more frantically, as if it wanted to block the figure.

However, the figure was faster, and the force of the impact was more violent. For a while, I saw the black water film constantly shaking and trembling. Often one shape that has been jacked up has not disappeared, and the other place is convex again.

The impact is getting faster and more violent.

Finally, a crack appeared in the black water film.

This crack announced the defeat of the black gas. In the next second, the condensed water film suddenly shattered. A red figure rose into the sky. Huge wings swung in the air, massive coercion and terrifying roars spreading in all directions.

Boom! As if swept away by a shockwave, all the demons on the ground turned on their backs.

The red figure in the air, with eyes glittering with bloodthirsty light, scanned the surroundings. Long fangs in the mouth, sharp claws on the hands and sharp spikes on the back. It grows at a rate visible to the naked eye. A moment later, it emitted a series of strange sounds and flew off into the distance.

The demons on the ground either soared into the air or galloped. Follow behind it. The black and oppressive figure, covering the sky and the sun, is like a flood, submerging the earth.

And in front of them, a snow-white mountain. It is slowly rising from the vast earth, getting higher and higher, and reaching into the sky.

..................

..................

"Damn, where is this?"

In the black-red desolate land, a team of mercenaries is struggling to walk. Everyone's body is full of scars, and their faces are tiredness that can't be concealed.

"I don't know. The leading mercenary held a sketchy road map that had been turned over and worn, and shook his head dejectedly.

"Then we are going to go like this?" said the mercenary who asked loudly, "We don't even have a direction!"

"There is a silver lining to go on. One of his companions overtook him and said, "Stop, and you will die." ”

The mercenary looked around in despair.

His companions passed by him, all of them as dead as ashes.

They have been trekking through the Dark Basin for more than twenty prayer hours. But now, they can't find even the most basic direction.

They were lucky.

You know, just a few prayer hours ago, they saw a team of mercenaries engulfed in a dark cloud. At that time, standing on the hill in the distance, they almost desperately escaped with all their might.

And then. They were confronted with another wave of demons. Two companions died. The rest of the people were also wounded.

No one knew where the ruins of the abyss they had been looking for were, or where they were on their way home. They can only take one step at a time now, hoping to get out on a good luck trip.

It's a slim chance, but it's better than holding back.

There was a half-silence. The mercenary tightened his coat and followed his trail towards his companion in the distance.

And just as he was leaving, he glanced back, and his eyes suddenly widened. Then he cried out.

"Come back, come back!

The tired mercenaries frowned. Look at your companion who has complained along the way.

However, as their gaze followed the companion's hand into the distance, everyone's gaze froze.

Their mouths gradually opened wide, and their eyes showed disbelief and joy that bordered on madness. An earth-shattering cheer erupted.

"Found it!"

"That's it, that's it!"

The mercenaries shouted, jumped, hugged, and some even cried with joy!

In the distance, a snow-white mountain with only a touch of blood red at the top stood on the horizon.

It was the only iconic mountain range that the mercenaries had been able to see in the misty land for more than twenty prayer hours.

It is like a lighthouse on the vast sea, guiding the course for the lost ship.

And more importantly, at the end of the simple route map, a mountain peak is drawn. And its color, its outline, is exactly the same as the one in front of you.

"Let's go!"

The leading mercenary roared and ran in the direction of the mountain peak.

The excited team members followed.

At this moment, everyone had left their tiredness, panic, and the torture they had experienced before.

In their eyes, there is only this mountain. It's the only thing it represents, the great wealth that drives people crazy.

...............

...............

"Miss, take a break here. ”

Barbed thorns, cut open by a huge sword. A knight with a great axe on his back and heavily armored stepped out first.

He stood in the glade, looked around, and after making sure that there was no danger, he bowed slightly to Scarlett, who was being guarded by several fierce knights behind him, and said.

Scarlett walked over and sat down on a piece of bluestone.

Her face was a little pale, and there were fine beads of sweat on the tip of her nose. After unleashing a breeze spell that blew away the rancid smell that permeated the woods, she said to the giant-like knight apologetically, "Mr. Ralph, I've dragged you down this time. ”

"Miss, this is not what you ought to say," Ralph said calmly, "as your servant, your will. That's our mission. Even if we die for you, we will not hesitate in the slightest. If I'm sorry, it's ......."

He turned his head and stared at the misty forest. A hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

Ever since they entered the Dark Basin, they had unknowingly lost their way. By now, it has been more than three prayer hours.

Ralph's strength is undoubtedly very strong.

As a five-star knight of the Great Light. He was only one step away from breaking through the Sanctuary.

Moreover, Ralph is a knight who grew up on the battlefield and has spent almost every day in battle for nearly twenty years. It's either fighting on the battlefield, duel in the tournament field, or hunting in the Warcraft Mountain Range.

Even Fred once admitted that if it were a life-and-death struggle, he would not pay a very heavy price. You may not be able to kill Ralph.

However, no matter how strong the strength is, it will not have any effect in the Dark Basin. No matter how vindictive or warring it is, they can't break through the fog around them, and they can't find the direction to go home. As he walked, Ralph was like a tiger trapped in a cage, with fangs and claws, but unable to use them.

Looking at the silent Ralph, Scarlett sighed. Look around.

What she saw were tired and confused faces.

This time he came to the abyss, and Ralph was well prepared. Not only did he bring a dozen of the most elite family knights and hunters, but he also recruited two magicians and three senior mercenary guides.

I didn't expect it. The team, which had been smooth all the way, was trapped as soon as it entered the Dark Basin. Even a few guides couldn't tell the direction at all.

What's even more terrifying is that on the way, the team also encountered a small cloud. If not before departure. Ralph transferred hundreds of Fire Source Pills from the family, but he was afraid that the entire army would have been wiped out long ago.

The thought of the clouds sent chills down her body.

She will never forget the terrible taste. When they were out of the cloudy range, their Fire Source Pill was only a few minutes away. As for the Fire Source Pill, it cannot be taken continuously. Take each tablet at least fifteen minutes apart.

If you take it continuously, your body will be irreparably damaged.

Even a Great Light Five-Star Knight like Ralph only needs to take five Fire Source Pills in a row, and his Dou Qi will drop to the glory level, and there will never be any possibility of re-improvement.

That's no different from drinking doves to quench your thirst.

And being lucky once doesn't mean being so lucky every time. According to several guides, the Dark Basin is unusually strange this time, and it may happen to be cloudy again. Even...... It's a disaster worse than clouds!

Thinking of this, Scarlett's mind couldn't help but appear with the figure of Leo.

She looked into the distance in a daze, and said to herself, "I don't know what happened to this guy." Is he alive, or is he dead? Did the Dark Executioners find him? And the Blood Hand sent by his mother. Did he encounter a cloud?"

All kinds of questions swirled in Scarlett's mind. Coupled with the situation in front of her, she couldn't help but hate itchy. I just feel that this qiē is all caused by that guy.

If it weren't for him, how could Uncle Fred die, how could his plan fail, and how could he be trapped here?

This damn bastard is simply the magic star of his own life.

No, if he wants to die, he will also die in his own hands!

"Miss," Ralph asked, looking at Scarlett in a trance, "where did that kid come from, is he really just a mercenary?"

"I don't know," Scarlett said, shaking her head, "I just know that he's the heir of House Ferdinand, and that he came to Muni with those dwarves." Because the Bano family attacked the dwarven convoy and angered him, it caused so many troubles. ”

"The Barnes & Nobles. Ralph snorted disdainfully and said, "The guy who has not achieved enough has more than he has failed." Barnes & Noble Sr. is an idiot, and Barnesher & Noble Jr. is even more stupid. It was a waste for Donald to put the Fifth Army in the hands of such people. ”

He sneered: "This kind of person, it's good to die." ”

As he spoke, Ralph frowned and said, "But it's strange that I heard what happened. This kid is only in his twenties, and he already has the strength of a five-star glory. And what's even more terrifying is that he also has a realm and is a great magician......"

Speaking of this, he said in disbelief: "How could such a genius be unknown before this?"

The knights around them all nodded their heads.

Ever since we came to Moony City, we have been chatting with each other. I haven't talked much about this kid who has made Lord Scarlett suffer a big loss.

In addition to what Ralph said, everyone also knows that because of this kid, Adolf did not hesitate to turn against several families that were among the top nobles of the empire. And. In the battle that night, the two races of dwarves and elves were the only ones.

The powerhouses of the Holy Domain, including a tribal patriarch and a saintess in the clan, actually became the followers of that kid. If not otherwise. How could a knight of glory kill Fred?

But before that, no one had heard of the name Leo.

The Ferdinand family is indeed an ancient and powerful family. However, more than 100 years have passed since the era that belonged to them.

In this era when the decline of the family is like the autumn wind and falling leaves, and it will be replaced by a new rising family anytime and anywhere, a family that has no territory and is far away from secular power, no matter how deep its background, cannot cultivate such children.

If that's the case. Then, those families who occupy the most fertile land of mankind and have endless resources should be killed by crashing headlong against the wall!

Scarlett held her chin and didn't answer Ralph's question.

This was originally a question on her mind.

In this world, there are always some people who are different from ordinary people.

It may be unfair to say that the Creator is biased, but it is undeniable that they are better than others in some ways. Painting, perhaps. Maybe it's music, maybe it's speech, maybe it's magic and vindictiveness. They can always reach heights that ordinary people can't reach.

But genius also needs the accumulation of resources. Even Augustus. Without the terrifying heritage of the Lanrith family, it would not have been possible to reach the heights it is today.

However, this Leo was born out of nowhere, and he had never heard of it before.

Not to mention Ralph, it's herself, and she's not full of curiosity.

And this. It was originally the main reason why she insisted on coming to the abyss.

Ralph was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Miss, what would you do if you met him?"

At the mention of Fred, Scarlett had a hint of hatred on her face. However, there is more of a struggle in the eyes. At this moment, suddenly, her gaze froze into the distance.

"Ralph, look. Scarlett stood up, her voice full of disbelief.

Everyone looked at Scarlett's hand and were stunned. I saw in the distance, a snow-white mountain peak with a touch of blood red at the top, towering into the clouds.

It was as if the mountain had appeared out of nowhere. Before that, everyone had looked into the distance countless times and never saw it.

"Abyssal Ruins!"

"Let's go!"

Surprised, Ralph gave the order decisively.

The group quickly set off and rushed in the direction of the mountain peak.

............

............

The silent dark basin seems to become agitated with the appearance of this mountain.

With the mountain peak as the center, there are mercenaries rushing to this side in all directions. Some of them are close, some are far away. Some are in the mountains and dense forests, and some are in the plains and river beaches. Some are joint teams of multiple mercenary squads. Others are alone.

This red-and-white mountain is like a giant magnet that attracts all those who come to explore.

No one chooses any other path.

Whoever they were, wherever they were, they could only go in the direction where the mountain was located.

It was the only coordinates they could find, and the only hope they had of finding the Abyssal Ruins or leaving this ghost place.

Little did anyone know, however, that a gray storm was forming on the edge of the basin and converging towards the direction of the wind, where the central peak was located.

No one knew that not far from the peak, thousands of abyssal demons, led by a terrifying figure, were heading towards this peak.

They just ran as fast as they could.

It's like the moths that pounce on the flames in the night...... (To be continued.) )xh118
