Chapter 342: Deadwood Barrier
Dawn got some of Mona's memories from Bai Ze, and although the natural environment had changed a bit, the location she entered was not much different from that of Kurolo. The giant trees that were scorched after being destroyed by lightning, the deep and bottomless tree holes, and the desolate and dilapidated tunnels inside, there were no clues related to civilization at all. Until a dark stone wall appeared in front of everyone, the wall was dull in color, completely integrated with the surrounding environment in the dark tunnel. If it weren't for Kurolo's reminder, Dawn would have almost hit her head.
"It's weird, this thing can absorb divine thoughts!" Chenxi was taken aback, he was the only one on the scene who was natural flesh and blood, in this place where there was no light source, eyesight became a decoration, and all the way was guided by the fluctuation of divine thoughts. Chenxi stretched out his finger and poked the wall in front of him, and only then did he feel a bigger difference under this touch, although the place where he started was rough but there was no feeling of gold and stone, but he felt tough when he pressed hard.
"This thing is...... Plants?" Dawn turned to Kurolo, Mona didn't have this weird wall in her memory, it was obviously added later.
"Druid Spell - Deadwood Barrier, a simple but extremely difficult thing to deal with!" Valak frowned, snapping his fingers lightly. The Hell Demon Dragon under the seat still maintains the image of a black dog because of the narrow tunnel, but the demonic energy in his body is no longer restrained. The black dog opened its mouth and spat out a dark red beam of flames, the scorching heat mixed with the rich smell of sulfur that permeated the narrow tunnel. It stands to reason that fire should be the nemesis of plants, especially the flames of hell. The hell of Western Europe is a world of flames, and most of the demons and monsters that survive in it are experts in fire.
But when the flames fell on the wall of the plant, it was like burning another stubborn stone, and the blazing dragon flame only burned a shallow pit an inch deep. Although there are large patches of smoky black around it, not even the surface layer has burned through.
"It's too thick, what a frenzy it must have to be to build such a thick deadwood barrier!" Valak looked incredulous.
"What the hell is a deadwood barricade?" Dawn thought the name was apt, and the dark wood in front of her was really like a dry trunk. But ordinary dead wood burns when it meets fire, and how can it completely ignore the calcination of hellfire like in front of you.
"Trees will gradually metamorphose into something like a rock under certain circumstances, and you secular humans should call it fossils!" Valak said softly, with a rare seriousness.
"Carbon-based life forms calcify and crystallize under high pressure, and plants can turn into coal or oil if they are old enough, but they do look like this in the early stages of transformation. Dawn listened to Valak talk about the fossils, and only then did she understand what was in front of her. It is formed in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment, and its resistance to flames is naturally high. This thing still belongs to the category of dead wood in the accurate sense, and has not completely metamorphosed into fossils. This is a very coincidental thing in nature, and even with the modern level of science and technology of secular human beings, it cannot be exquisitely controlled. But with the participation of druid spells, all the impossible and coincidence become a matter of course.
"Dead wood, half alive and half dead, has become like a boulder, but it is still a living thing. So it's still growing, it's going to repair itself. Valak pointed to the place on the wooden wall that had been burned by the dragon, the shallow pit slowly repairing itself. "This is something that can only be used by extremely powerful druids, and if they are not very powerful, they will injure themselves because they can't control the highly compressed magic. ”
"Aaron is the best among the druids, and in the absence of Faytan's involvement in the Celtic gods, it is not impossible to say that he is the first druid!" Dawn smiled bitterly, "Isn't there any other way?" I don't believe there is a perfect defense in this world!"
"The only flaw in this thing is that it is slow to condense and cannot move once it is formed, but now these flaws are completely non-existent. "That's what makes me so embarrassed, and Aaron doesn't know what to do, so bored that he built such a good wooden wall." Looking at this scale, I'm afraid that he has spent hundreds of years here!"
"Hundreds of years? this guy won't have any persecution paranoia, right?" Dawn sighed, full of fighting spirit all the way but didn't want to meet such an opponent, "You just said that once this thing is formed, it can't move, so how did he come out by himself?"
"I don't think he even thought about coming out, he just didn't want anyone else to go in!" Kurolo shook his head, "I didn't have this thing when I was here last time, and I couldn't go deeper. Now that I have this barrier again, my teacher is really ......."
"Shrunken Turtle, he's less daring than a hellish devil!" Valak said viciously.
"Anyway, we've got to find a way to get in first. Chenxi sighed a little helplessly, "Let's camp here, everyone try it, maybe this thing has some unknown weaknesses!"
Valak wanted to pour cold water on it, but after a moment of hesitation, he didn't say much, the composition of Hell was uneven, and it had clashed with almost every known religious force since the rise of the Middle Ages. In the wars known to Valak, no way to restrain the Deadwood Barricades had been found.
"The space behind this barrier is a bit strange, I can't locate it at all, it feels like I'm facing the void!"
"Lao Bai, do you have anything to do?" Chenxi could only turn to Bai Ze for help.
"It's just a little trick for me, because it's the clumsiest form of defense, and all you need to do to break it is to crush it. Bai Ze glanced slightly, "But this method is not suitable for you. ”
"There's no way to take a trick?"
"It's not for nothing, strong fortresses are often breached from within. Your soul perception is keen, you might as well try to perceive it and see what you can find!" Bai Ze sold a pass.
Dawn immersed herself in her mind, wanting to mobilize the power of the three spirits to peek into the different places of this barrier. However, he found that no matter how he operated, he couldn't resonate with his surroundings, until a strange fluctuation came out of the back of his neck, and the world around him became completely different. The traditional five senses have disappeared, and the morning sun can still "see" everything around it. Time seems to have frozen, and all the images have changed into something else. Valak turned into a large black and twisted snake, and the black dog beside him became a hideous dragon image, the appearance of a half-human, half-deer crystal beehive, and Kurolo a completely distorted mist.
"It's ......" Dawn found herself thinking extremely fast, and it felt like the world had stood still.
"Soul vision, this is the power of the qi after activation. You are still a little worse in terms of accumulation, and I took advantage of the strangeness of this place to let you feel it in advance!" Bai Ze snorted lightly, "The world is illusory, only the soul is true." Now, do you still think that little demon king is cute?"
