Chapter 21: The Strange Three
The bald man scurried through the black-gray mist, and a distorted air swept through it, and a faint smell of burnt paste escaped, as if something had ignited in the air.
The bald man suddenly stopped, looked in the other direction, his brows furrowed, the expression on his face was very annoyed, and his eyes already had a little coldness.
"This nasty breath is getting closer and closer, what the hell is it? If it weren't for the adults still waiting for me, I really want to get rid of this breath now!"
A hideous look flashed across the bald man's face, and he finally gave up his plan and continued to run towards the center of the black-gray mist.
While Casio and the others continued to advance towards the center, they also found that the number of Lightless Knights around them had increased, and sometimes there was no way to avoid it, only to fight for the shortest time, and then break away from the pursuit of the other party to avoid being surrounded by more Lightless Knights.
After all, these lightless knights are immortal and immortal, and they don't know how to be tired, once they are surrounded, there is only one ending!
Despite this, Casio and the others still found that behind them, there was a group of Lightless Knights in hot pursuit, and the number had reached a worrying number of nearly twenty.
However, Casio and they can't and dare not stop at all, only keep moving forward while looking for an opportunity to completely get rid of the threat behind them.
While dodging the lightless knight who was tracking behind him, while probing the surrounding environment, the closer Casio and the others got to the center, the more "ominous black coffins" they could see on the road.
And these "ominous black coffins" also further validate Casio's idea, the Knights of the Lightless did not wake up naturally and came here from Doregureg, but were artificially brought here.
And as they continued to move forward, Casio and the others gradually discovered that there were many traces of battle left on the ground, and the closer these traces of battle were to the center, the more obvious they became.
In some places, huge potholes and long cracks were even left.
This made Casio understand that something must have happened in the process of transporting these Lightless Knights, causing these Lightless Knights to wake up early.
However, even so, for the time being, it is still impossible to explain why in the Ring of the Next World, I also saw a lightless knight!
Casio pressed the doubts in his heart, and his wariness of Fastone and others became heavier and heavier.
Seeing that they were about to approach the center, although the lightless knights behind them had not completely gotten rid of it, they had already pulled away for a considerable distance, and it was not easy for them to catch up in a short period of time.
The surrounding environment has changed dramatically.
I saw that the surrounding ground seemed to have been smashed by meteorites, full of large craters ranging from a few meters to more than ten meters, and the pits were scorched, surrounded by some crystals left after high-temperature calcination.
The crystals that were supposed to show brilliant colors under the reflection of light were so monotonous and boring because of this black and white world.
Not only that, but around the crater, there are patches of blackened and decaying plant remains, which stand here like a forest of plants.
Casio and Jonathan and the others looked at each other and did not speak, but cautiously continued towards the center.
In this environment full of decaying plants and large pits, there are also a large number of dried corpses lurking, but although these dried corpses are also from the Ancient Forest Council, Casio always feels that they do not look like Faston's subordinates, which makes him vaguely guess in his heart.
Of course, Casio would not ask this kind of doubt, and Fastone did not explain it to him, but secretly closely watched the change in Casio's expression.
Seeing that Casio didn't seem to have any unusual emotions, Fastro secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
These dried corpses did not pose much of a threat to Casio and the others, they either avoided or directly impacted, and soon passed through the area where the dried corpses were located, and really came to the center of the entire black and gray mist.
As soon as they came to the center, Casio and the others couldn't help but be stunned.
In the entire central area, there is a large pit with a radius of several hundred meters, and the edge of the pit is like a wave, piled up and down, and pieces of crystals are condensed on it.
At the bottom of the pit is a strange scene.
The reason why it is strange is because in the center of the bottom of the pit is a lightless knight who is far taller and more hideous than other lightless knights.
The lightless knight was silently half-kneeling at the bottom of the pit, layers of black-gray mist wafting out of him, only to shrink back into his body shortly after.
Vaguely, everyone had a kind of realization that the black-gray mist that covered a radius of several miles was very likely to come from this lightless knight!
It's much more than that, there are two more beings around this lightless knight!
On the left is a tall man dressed in the characteristic armor of the Ancient Forest Council, and at this time, the man is holding a long sword, pointing at the lightless knight in the center, standing silently, motionless.
And directly opposite this Ancient Forest Council is a demon with more than a foot tall and horns and hooves!
The demon didn't seem to be targeting the people of the Ancient Forest Council, but the Lightless Knight in the center, as one of his hands was facing the Lightless Knight.
If there is anything that the people of the Ancient Forest Council have in common with this demon, it is that they are also the same as their surroundings, losing all their bright colors, leaving only pure black and white!
These three beings just stood silently in place, motionless, as if they had lost their own lives. But if you look closely, you will find that they didn't really lose their lives like bronze sculptures.
Needless to say, Casio still doesn't know if there is any way to completely kill this unknown existence.
Look at the man of the Ancient Forest Council, and the soil beneath his feet continued to grow green buds, and then quickly lost all color, withered and decayed. Then new shoots sprout up, and so on, and so on.
Around the demon's body, there were faint layers of invisible flames, so that the black-gray mist around him could not really get close to him, but floated and wandered within a certain range around him.
The three of them didn't know what was going on, so they just stood motionless and silent!
However, what really shocked Casio and the others was that there was another person beside these three people!
A tall and strong bald man!
At the same time that Casio and the others looked at the bald man, the other party also spotted them and turned their eyes to them.
For a while, Casio and the others looked at each other from a distance across a huge crater of hundreds of meters!
