The fog seemed to fill the entire sky.

The whole air was foggy, and the world was filled with a slightly pungent dampness.

In the background of this sky, there was a valley that was once very quiet, but at this time the valley lost its tranquility as before, and a series of rapid and rhythmic sounds were heard in the distance, not the sound of tintin logging in the valley in daily life, but the sound of horses' hooves.

A young man in armor rode on a galloping horse, which galloped through a valley with rough terrain but not narrow roads.

The sound of the horse's hooves approached, and the man and the horse kept approaching here, and finally passed by quickly, and the horse's hooves faded away, and soon after the man and the horse left, the rancid smell of the world became stronger and stronger, and finally even the land turned a charred black color......

Several earthy yellow boots stepped on this charred black land, and their owners obviously hesitated, and looked around, and after finding that there were no suspicious traces around, they all looked at each other helplessly, and finally shook their heads again, ready to return and leave.

Judging from their attire, these people were dressed in earthy yellow robes and held tube-shaped staffs in their hands, and their bodies exuded an extremely strong pungent smell...... They are one of the members of the strong acid force who came out of nowhere and cut off the victory of the Metal Empire army before!

Their team is here to pursue Zhao Lucheng who fled to Death Valley before!

But looking at the current situation, they should have pursued to Death Valley and lost their followers......

"Team Deng, where is this Zhao Lucheng running to, why can't we keep up, it stands to reason that our movement spell should be more convenient to walk in the valley than his war horse," at this time, one of the team members looked at a young man in the team and said.

The young man among them, known as "Team Deng", raised his head, paused to return, squinted his eyes in the direction they had been pursuing Zhao Lucheng, and did not speak.

Looking closely, this captain surnamed Deng is actually Deng Junling, who had spoken directly to Beitang Shuodong before!

Everyone stopped, and they all looked at their captain, a little puzzled as to what he was looking at.

Isn't it, people are lost, what are you still looking at?

At this time, Deng Junling can be regarded as a change from the jerky appearance when he saw Beitang Shuodong, and he behaved quite calmly, I don't know if he deliberately pretended to be that because of his cunning at that time, or because his current face was forced by him.

But Deng Junling looked straight at the direction they were originally pursuing, and frowned for a while, thinking quietly alone.

Although the others were puzzled, the quality of the soldiers was there, especially their strong acid troops were some veterans with deep qualifications, so no one dared to disturb him, they quickly scattered and forbade the surroundings.

After a while, Deng Junling, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, but this opening scared everyone.

"I say, "The one who hides behind the tree, you can come out." Deng Junling looked at a tree to his right and spoke.

Everyone was startled, and hurriedly gathered to the right, aimed the staff at the tree, and was ready to spray strong acid at any time to melt the tree and the suspicious people behind the tree.

But their Deng team never gave the order to splash.

Until a middle-aged man's laughter came from behind the tree: "Yes, Deng Junling, Shibei should be impressed in three days, this sentence is really true!"

Some people in the crowd looked back at Deng Junling, could it be that their Deng team still knew this person? Could it be that it was their own people......

But these people who have looked back at Deng Junling and those who haven't looked back have lost this ability to think, and forever, because they are too slow.

Because when everyone was in doubt, a man in black suddenly turned out of the back of the tree, took out a dagger from his sleeve, and killed the soldiers of these strong acid troops in a burst of "click" and screams, and then wiped the knife as if no one was in a pool of blood, looked at the last person left in the scene, Deng Junling, and said: "Leave a last word." ”

Deng Junling nodded, these strong acid troops had beaten the knights of the Metal Empire to heavy losses, but they were easily killed by the man in black in front of them, even if it was only a small team of more than a dozen people, but even Zhao Lucheng escaped, it can be seen that the strength of this person in front of him is strong enough, and it is terrifying.

But he didn't seem surprised, he said: "You are here, my mission is not bad, that is, to help Beitang Shuodong defeat the metal army, win his trust, and inadvertently let Zhao Lucheng go." ”

"Yes, as my personal guard, you successfully helped me meet my sister, Zhao Lucheng is also a good person, my sister will probably be very sad without him. The middle-aged man dressed in black said, "If my expectations are correct, Xianqi's Silver Legion is coming, I don't believe that people like Xianqi will send Zhao Lucheng back safely." ”

"Are you sure?, she's really your sister?" Deng Junling said in a deep voice, "After all, it's just a legend, and there is no scientific basis......

"You don't have to worry about this, you just need to do your next task, I don't think people are wrong," as if he was told a sore spot, the man in black waved his hand irritably, "I have already transferred her to Xianqi's house, if she is really my sister, then there is a big problem with her current father." ”

Deng Junling nodded, and was about to leave, when he suddenly thought of something and said, "You'd better not leave her in Xianqi's house for too long, this person is very cunning...... Farewell!"

After speaking, Deng Junling bowed to the man in black, and then returned to the route he had come.

The man in black looked at Deng Junling's departing back, the cold light flashed in his eyes, and he muttered to himself: "Xianqi, hmph, it doesn't matter who you are, as long as you dare to touch my sister, I want you to look good!"

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

"Huh-" Zhao Lucheng stopped his horse urgently, took a deep look at the abyss in front of him, and then looked back at the back, seeing that no one was chasing after him, he exhaled a long breath with a slight visual white mist in his mouth.

Reined.

After letting out a sigh, he muttered to himself with some confusion: "Why, these people didn't catch up?"

According to his guess, the war horses are inconvenient to move in the valley, and it is only a matter of time before the pursuers of these strong acid troops catch up with him, and it stands to reason that he will fight them again, but what about these people?

Zhao Lucheng dismounted, pulled out the knight's sword, and then walked around the vicinity, until he saw that there was indeed no movement nearby, he walked to the side of the war horse standing on the cliff with peace of mind, put down the sword, and opened the battle armor, revealing a piece of red that was hidden under the battle armor of his right arm......

The shade of red was also scorched black.

Zhao Lucheng looked at the wound that had already stained the battle armor on the side, this wound was already past the most painful period of that kind at this time, and the rancid smell from the festering skin told him that this must have been left by the previous battle with the non-metallic strong acid troops to cover the retreat of the Sword Emperor IV.

He also examined the rest of his body, many of which had wounds large and small, but not as serious as this one.

But he smiled for no reason, looked around, and said to himself, "Oh, the fog in this valley is so big that I almost fell with the horse." ”

This laugh seemed to have sent such a serious injury out of the clouds.

"When I was at the military academy, the professor used to say that after being injured by strong acid, the injured part will quickly fester, and if it is not properly treated, it will extend to more serious injuries," he said to himself, "but now in the field, there is no hospital or anything like that that can properly treat wounds, so ......"

As he spoke, he looked at an old tree not far from him, and then at the knight's sword that he had stuck in the ground.

Zhao Lucheng took off the armarmor of his right arm, pulled out the knight's sword from the ground, cut off a few branches that were about to dry up with his left hand on the tree not far from here, took these branches back, put them not far from the war horse, loosened the bridle of the war horse, and let the war horse eat grass by himself, and he used some primitive methods to ignite the fire.

He threw the tip of the knight's sword into the fire, and then sliced off the rotting flesh of the wound with the brightness of the flames and the heat of the red-hot blade.

Although the skin of the wound has festered to the point that it does not look like it, it is something that grows on the body after all, and even if it is forcibly cut with a red-hot knife, it can still feel a lot of pain from the wound.

But when he cut it, there was no blood flowing out of that piece of flesh, which made Zhao Lucheng have a clear understanding of the damage of this strong acid.

It's terrifying.

Zhao Lucheng found a clean cloth on the edge of his battle armor, although the battle armor is made of heavy and hard metal, but the body of the elemental man is not a hard flat piece, so when designing the battle armor, in order to coordinate with the human body, in some parts that are not critical or often move joints, it is made of some cloth or soft metal.

Zhao Lucheng used a knight's sword to cut off this piece of cloth, and wrapped it around his right arm with the combined force of his left hand and body, completing a simple bandage.

Although there is not much bleeding from the wound when bandaging, the blurred appearance of a piece of flesh and blood is shown to the outside world, even if the infection of the wound by the outside world is ruled out, the aesthetics alone are extremely bad.

After finishing the most important injury on his body, and the other injuries didn't matter, Zhao Lucheng began to walk around, and after turning around, he found that there was nothing unusual on the edge of this cliff.

Probably because of the war, there wasn't even a single figure nearby, and the only evidence I found about the Elementals living in the wandering around was an abandoned grass house.

The non-metallic soldier was even less likely to chase after him.

"Now it is estimated that there are still a lot of non-metallic troops gathered there under the mountain, if you rush down the mountain, you will inevitably be pursued by the enemy again, with my current state, I am afraid that I will die in that place......" Zhao Lucheng said to himself, "It seems that I can't leave this Death Valley recently, Xiao Yulong doesn't know where to go in this valley, this valley is so big, go up and find ......"

His self-talk came to an abrupt halt because he felt a force from within the ground!

"Boom!" the ground moved in amplitude and grew louder and louder, until finally, even the ground could hear a burst of crackling sounds from inside the valley!

"Isn't it, it's an earthquake here at this time?!" At the beginning of the earth movement, Zhao Lucheng still half-believed that this might just be some kind of drastic change in the ground, after all, the Elemental Continent is full of wonders, and the spells of non-metal mages are also diverse, like the metal empire, these upright knights who can only move forward are still far worse than the diversity of these non-metal people, and this Death Valley is also a non-metal realm, so if Zhao Lucheng believes that this is a certain mage who has made some big moves underground, it is not enough to surprise him.

These knights, in every battle, are brave enough to withstand the attacks of these new and unfamiliar spells, and they are not afraid.

Because when I was in the military academy, the instructor told every young man who wanted to become a knight that when fighting, remember not to turn back, and when facing unfamiliar spells, you must not back down, because the enemy will not give you a second chance!

Actually, none of this matters.

Because now, whether it is a geodynamic spell or an earthquake, the ground is always shaking violently, and the shaking is getting more and more violent.

In front of Zhao Lucheng are cliffs and bottomless deep streams, and behind him are valleys full of rugged mountains, and it seems that no matter how you run......

"I have to try a method, it seems that it is better to leave the cliff and go to land when the ground moves," Zhao Lucheng thought thoughtfully, "But the rugged mountain is so big, how far do I have to walk to get out of this mountain, and there are enemies waiting for me to take the bait......"

Zhao Lucheng looked at the cliff in front of him: "It seems that I only have one way to go......"

When he was talking to himself, the ground was moving more and more violently, and there were already a lot of earth and rocks collapsing on the mountain not far behind, and at this time, even if he wanted to escape from the mountains, it was too late.

Zhao Lucheng was very glad that he didn't choose the original path of the mountain to return to the bottom of the mountain, because even if the enemy army had withdrawn when he returned to the bottom of the mountain, he was not sure that he could quickly go down the mountain before the mountain collapsed!

He couldn't die! At this time, he knew this very well, if he died, what would the Emperor Fu Rose do?

When he set out on the expedition, what he never forgot was the reluctant eyes of Huangfu Rose and the strong worry in his expression when he left H City......

And, when parting, Rose smiled at the sentence -

"I must come back alive, in the spring of next year, I will wait for you to take me to see the pear-scented feast......"

"Hopefully, I'll be fine......" Zhao Lucheng stroked the soft beards on the neck of his war horse with his left hand, "It's all up to you, brother!"

And the war horse seems to have spirituality, and after Zhao Lucheng's words fell, there was a little determination in the eyes of the pair of horses!

He mounted his horse, closed his eyes, and at the moment before the huge crack caused by the fierce earth movement spread, he rode his horse and jumped down the mountain stream!

At this moment, as if time stood still, a man and a horse leaping over the abyss were suspended in the sky, forming a perfect picture with the endless distant mountains and endless horizons......

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

At the same time, in a small courtyard in a remote forest not very far from here, a small man with a scroll recklessly pushed open the bamboo door of the small courtyard, and not only did anyone inside respond, but shouted: "Second Master, Second Master, Second Master!" The third master of the palace and General Shuo Dong won a complete victory in the ambush battle, and with very few troop losses, he defeated two of the invading armies, and even created an outstanding record of forcing the Sword Emperor IV away and driving Zhao Lucheng, the commander of the enemy's southern route, into the Valley of Death!"

"God bless me with the Non-Metal Alliance! Second Master, we won!"

The little servant cheered to himself, but there was no middle-aged man he was familiar with in the small courtyard who stepped out of it, took the scroll in his hand, and then praised him.

Obviously, the courtyard was empty......

"Hey, the second master is not here?" he said that he wanted to come here to relax and relax these days, but now the others are gone! This is bad, if something happens to the second master...... "Thinking of this, the little guy hurriedly ran outside and shouted to find someone.
