Chapter 157: Clouds
In the stone forest, the roar of the demon was deafening.
In the glade of the forest, the Ice Star Team is like a solid reef, constantly crushing the demon's attack.
A few minutes later, the battle was over. Resios summoned the demon monkey and let out a long breath, "It's finally time to get out of this damn stone forest." ”
Everyone smiled at each other, showing a relieved expression.
At this moment, the Ice Star Squad had already walked to the edge of the Stone Forest. Dozens of meters away, the continuous boulders came to an end, and in the distance, a vast plain.
Although everyone knows that no part of the Dark Basin is to be taken lightly, and the plains may be more dangerous than here, everyone still prefers the open environment to the dark and oppressive stone forest. If you have a wider vision, you will feel better.
"Thankfully. ”
Rondello walked over to Roy, who was resting, and patted him on the shoulder.
Ever since entering the Stone Forest, Roy has been serving as a scout to find his way ahead. Under his leadership, the Ice Star team not only encountered no danger along the way, but also was extremely fast, and now the other mercenary teams have been thrown out of the distance of a full three reconnaissance areas.
No matter where those abyssal demons were hiding, and no matter how harsh the environment was, it seemed that Roy couldn't help it. He was always able to carve a way out of the darkness that lurked in danger.
In the end, even the arrogant → as proud as Franco couldn't help but admire. Privately, Kwarroy was the most gifted scout he'd ever seen in his life.
"Captain, you're too polite. Roy smiled and looked deep into the stone forest.
Rondello followed Roy's gaze and couldn't help but sigh.
I don't know if it was to fight for a breath, or because I was ashamed to drive away the Ice Star Team in the first place, in short, Olivia and the others didn't follow the Ice Star Team to enjoy the leisure. Instead, he chose a parallel path not far from the Ice Star Squad.
However, even if they had increased the number of scouts to three, it would only make up for the omission, and the speed was far less than Roy's.
Now, they're still moving slowly forward. Although from a straight-line distance, the two sides are only a few hundred meters. But if they continue to do so. If I don't spend most of my prayers, I'm afraid I won't be able to get here.
"In our mercenary business, the most taboo thing is internal friction," Rondello shook his head and said, "It's a pity that there are too few people who can understand this truth." It's just that the young man is just strong, and an old mercenary like Hoover actually makes this kind of mistake, which is too undeserved. ”
"He's just afraid that he will encounter the Thunderstorm Mercenary Group and be affected by us. Lake sat down next to Roy, wiped the sword in his hand, and said disdainfully, "It's a pity they don't know, even Ulysses was killed by Leo." Otherwise, I'd really like to see what Hoover's expression is. ”
"What's the expression? I'm afraid I'm stupid!" Lacios leaned over and gloated to Roy, "Leo, that guy just asked you to compete with their scouts, why didn't you agree?"
Roy drooped his eyelids. He didn't raise his head: "This idiot is too naïve." He's not my son, so why should I spend time playing games with him? Coaxing?"
Poof, Afu, who was drinking water, squirted out, coughing again and again, and her pretty face was red. The crowd laughed too.
Since meeting Roy, everyone has thought that this kid is taciturn and doesn't like jokes very much. But I didn't expect it. It's also a wilted mouth.
Fortunately, Hoover was not present, otherwise, I am afraid that a Buddha will be born and the Buddha will ascend to heaven.
After laughing, Rondello sighed, "I've left them signposts along the way." If you don't get angry. They can save a lot of things. It's a pity ......"
As he spoke, Rondello shook his head, didn't say any more, turned to Roy and said, "Leo, when are we leaving?"
When to rest and when to set off, it is usually decided by the captain, and few people will ask for the advice of his subordinates. However, at this time, not only did Landelo ask naturally, but even the rest of the team took it for granted.
"Wait another five minutes. Roy said dryly.
In fact, Roy had already let the clone enter the plains first to investigate. Just wait for Xiaobai to feel a little farther away, and then you can move on.
Everyone nodded and turned their heads to look.
Outside the stone forest, the plains are vast. A fiery river of lava meanders in between. The black earth is covered with red weeds, like a flame. Several huge abyssal demon trees, like giants, stood on the plain. A huge canopy of trees obscures the sky.
Hordes of demons and all sorts of strange creatures of the abyss, roaming among the swaying weeds. The earth was steaming with smoke and light. There is the fire on the ground, there is the flowing electric light, and there are also pillars of light falling in mid-air. It looks very strange.
This kind of scene is completely different from the continent of Avalon.
Just when everyone was talking, suddenly, a change occurred.
Everyone only felt the ground shake under their feet. Immediately, the black qi that swam in the sky like a surging river was overwhelmingly suppressed. The vision became blurry. The surrounding scene seemed to have been distorted by a mysterious force, turning into a chaotic ray of light.
Roy jerked to his feet.
At this moment, he felt that Xiao Bai, who was originally exploring the way on the plain, suddenly moved away from him like a cloud.
What surprised him was that through Xiao Bai's field of vision, he found that Xiao Bai did not move at all, and was standing on the edge of a small dirt slope that he had just investigated. When I turned my head, I still saw the scenery of the plains all around, but the stone forest here was distorted and blurred.
Before Roy could figure out what was going on, he only felt that it was dark in front of him, and the doppelganger had collapsed because he had exceeded the control distance.
This change came and went quickly, and it only took two or three minutes in total.
But for the people in it, these few minutes are as long as centuries. Everyone subconsciously gathered together, shoulder to shoulder, back to back, spears and swords, forming a circular defensive formation, carefully guarding the surroundings.
Gradually, the shaking of the earth stopped. The black air that permeated the surroundings also returned to the sky. The distorted and blurred vision finally gradually recovered.
At that moment, the frightened voice of Racios was heard in the ears of the people: "My God, look. ”
Everyone followed Racios's fingers. Suddenly, I felt a buzz in my head, and it went blank.
The stone forest is still this stone forest, and there is no difference between the qiē and the previous ones. However, beyond the stone forest, incredible changes have taken place.
The vast plain was gone. What a river of lava. What fiery red weeds, all disappeared without a trace. Instead, there is a high mountain range of rolling hills with deep forests!
With a bang, everyone seemed to have exploded.
If everyone is not able to testify to each other, I am afraid that everyone will think that they are dreaming. No one could believe that just a few minutes ago, there was a completely different world beyond the Stone Forest!
"What's going on?"
"What's going on?"
Everyone looked stunned and talked about it. Even the most sedate Rondello and Lake. His face also changed.
To make matters worse, before everyone could come to their senses, they saw a dark gray mist pouring down from the mountain that suddenly appeared.
"Cloudy!" Rondello shouted, "Hurry up!"
With Rondello's roar, the whole world seemed to be alarmed. Whether it was on the mountain or in the stone forest, countless abyssal demons came out of nowhere.
It's like the end of the world. They fled frantically, dodging the surging gray mist.
The clouds spread quickly. It was like an avalanche, and in just a few seconds, it was already from the top of the mountain to the halfway up the mountain.
Some demons who had not had time to flee were shrouded in dark clouds and let out a terrible howl, which was immediately drowned out. Disappeared without a trace.
"Quick! Let's go back. All ran desperately. "There is a cave there, right on the back, where you can dodge!"
The faces of the people turned pale. Not daring to delay for half a minute, they all ran desperately in the direction of Rondelló's finger.
Everyone knew that once they were swallowed by this terrifying gray mist, even the powerhouses of the Sacred Realm would be turned into a pool of blood and completely disappear from this world. Of all the natural disasters known to man, clouds are definitely the most terrible.
Compared to it, what a storm, what a flood, it can be called gentle and lovely!
However, this does not mean that when you encounter a cloud, you can only sit back. Among the several ways that humans have summarized to deal with clouds, finding a cliff cave to hide in is one of them.
This is based on what people know about the characteristics of clouds.
This gray fog is thick and thick, like sand or avalanches, and usually spreads forward against the ground. However, the difference is that the cloud flows in a single direction and is not affected by the topography, even if there is a high mountain in front of it, it will push straight over and will not flow back down.
This means that if you can find a cave with your back to the clouds, you may be able to avoid this fate.
The crowd pulled out their legs and galloped. Looking down from the sky, it looks like eight elk running in the forest.
Behind him, the gray mist rushed down from the top of the mountain like a flood, hit the flat ground, and then flew into the air, forming a huge tide that overflowed into the stone forest, submerging the stone pillars one by one. At great speed, it is rushing towards this side.
The knights on the team are okay, and even Racios is not slow. However, Afu Ke can't. After running less than 100 meters, she was already behind.
Seeing that she was about to fall behind, Roy's figure flashed, and he was already in front of her, slightly short, showing his back. Almost at the same time as Roy took a pose, Afu kicked his feet and jumped directly onto Roy's back, her soft body clinging to him, and her white jade-like wrist wrapped around his neck.
Roy didn't have to open his mouth to command, and Afu didn't hesitate in the slightest. The cooperation of the two people is as tacit as if they have done this thousands of times.
For others, carrying one person on their back inevitably affects speed. But for Roy, Afu, who weighs no more than 100 pounds, is as light as nothing. Not only is he running faster than the rest of the team, but he is also agile and light, changing direction as fast as lightning through the stone forest.
Aph lay on Roy's back, her face resting on his shoulder, silent. It's just that a pair of eyes flickered, reflecting the surrounding stone pillars that struck quickly, and flashed past them at the last moment.
Soon, the team was in the cave that Landelo had spoken of. Entering the cave, everyone was in shock, and Rundello suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted, "Oh no!"
Everyone looked at each other, and there was a hint of horror in their eyes.
They suddenly remembered that in this stone forest, in addition to their own people, there were five whole mercenary squads!
That's more than fifty lives.
"Damn it!"
Rondero gritted his teeth, turned around and prepared to run.
However, before Rondello's footsteps could step out, he was pulled by Roy, who had put down Aph.
"I'll go!"
"No! you stay here. Rondero flatly refused, and slammed into it.
However, as a knight of the Great Light, he couldn't break free. Roy's hand on his arm was as motionless as a rock.
Roundlow's pupils shrank suddenly. Although he witnessed Ulysses, who was on a par with himself, being thrown to death by Roy. But at this moment, he knew how terrifying Roy's power was.
"I'm faster than you," Roy said calmly, "and, in this stone forest, only I can find my way." If you go out, you're just going to die. ”
"But......," said Roundelo.
"That's it. Roy interrupted Rondelo without saying a word, turned and walked out of the cave.
"Wait," Rondello cried, and when Roy turned around, he took out a fiery elixir and tossed it to Roy, "Take this." ”
"Fire Source Pill?" Roy took the elixir, nodded, turned and ran away.
When everyone chased them to the entrance of the cave, he was gone.
"This kid!"
Looking at the direction in which Roy disappeared, everyone's eyes were admiration, worry, and restlessness.
Ryclarary paced back and forth, Tu Su clenched the spear in his hand, Racios cursed in his mouth, and Afu clasped her fingers with her hands and pressed them to the tip of her nose.
There is only one thought for everyone.
"But you must come back alive. ”...... (To be continued......)
