The appearance of Devil's Cry Mountain is strange, as if the mountain has been divided into two completely different parts. The gentle slope in the lower half is very gentle, and the angle to the ground is no more than 10 degrees, and it is difficult to feel the slope when walking on it. The upper part of the ridge is very steep, and many parts of the ridge can be regarded as cliffs, and if you want to cross it, you have to take a detour.

If you are in the mountains of other parts of the grassland, you should see a world full of life at this time, rabbits, marmots, squirrels, marmots, hyenas, hedgehogs, split-flesh beasts, all kinds of grassland animals will chase and hunt in the gentle slope area, and in the steep slope area, mountain wolves and goats jump between the mountains and rocks, rock beasts and climbing badgers climb on the cliffs, occasionally disturbed, manta rats and mountain swallows will fly out of the small wall holes, and goshawks at the top of the cliffs will soar above the sky with their wings.

But the sights that should have been seen were not visible at all, and the whole mountain was shrouded in a heavy dead air, with nothing but the grass on the gentle slope, and even more so that there was no sound on the steep slope. It can't be helped, this is the world of death, a world completely cut off from life and hope.

"Let's wait. Pannis looked back, and most of the undead were left behind all the way, and finally reverted to their previous state of wandering blindly due to the loss of their purpose, only the last few undead were still tempted by anger and persistently rushed to this side. But the nearest one was a kilometer away, and with the speed at which the skeletons were staggering, it would take at least six or seven minutes to cross this kilometer. Pannis nodded and continued: "I'll go up and explore first, find a way to find a good path, you wait here, in case my progress is a little slow and I can't come back before the undead arrive, you will defend on the spot first, anyway, depending on the situation, there are only a few thousand undead who came over, compared to the group encountered in the sewers more than a month ago, the number is much less." ”

"There you go. Catherine stood at the foot of the steep hill. Already left the wolf's back: "Be careful, don't fall." ”

"Rest assured, I'm professional. Pannis grinned with a thumbs up, and Bai Sensen's teeth reflected in the sunlight: "This slope." I'm not going to fall, I'll be back in a few minutes. ”

"Why do I have a feeling that he won't come back? Vivien asked in a blank whisper, "And you're going to fall off?"

"Well, these little things, just don't think of them. Catherine replied with an equally expressionless face.

Pannis took a few steps back and looked up to take a closer look at the topography of the hillside. Only then did he suddenly rush forward, jumped on a raised rock in a vertical leap, lightly borrowed force on the rock, his body went up again, and his left hand inserted into a narrow rock crevice, using this as a fulcrum The body swinged, translated, and stepped on another rock steadily. Devil's Cry Mountain is not a cliff, but it still has a certain slope, which makes it convenient for Pannis to climb. The mountain wall of more than 300 meters has been climbed halfway in a long time.

"Be careful. A nervous shout came from the bottom of the mountain, and Pannis's heart suddenly escalated the alarm, and the power that was originally about to jump upwards instantly turned horizontal, flying five meters to the right, and grabbing a vine on the rock. At the same time, a large, angular rock the size of a half-man fell from the sky and smashed right on where Pannisy had been standing.

"What's that?" said Pennis, looking up with vines, revealing a white skull from the top of the mountain. Reflection in the sun. On the skeleton, which should have no expression, Pannis felt that it was sneering with a mocking demeanor, and it held another slightly smaller stone in its hand.

"Pannis, be careful. There are also above. Catherine shouted below, and in Catherine's view, thousands of skeletons suddenly appeared on the bare mountaintop, and this group of skeletons occupied every position on the top of the mountain, pushing or lifting boulders in their hands. It seems to have made up his mind to put Pennis to death with stones.

"Damn it. Pannis scolded, his arm was forced, and he jumped up with the help of vines, trying to force his way to the top, but several stones fell down at the same time, covering the space of several meters around him, so that he didn't even have room to dodge left and right, so he could only push the rock wall and fly out, which avoided the attack of the stone rain. Although it was safe for the time being, at this time Pannis was already in a suspended position, and it was impossible to continue to rise, so he could only fall quickly under the action of gravity. In the exclamation of the girls, the falling Pannis tried his best to twist his waist, and almost forcibly changed the direction of his fall in a way that violated the rules of physics, from a straight line to a diagonal line, and was close to the rock wall halfway through the fall. As soon as he approached the rock wall, Pannis kicked hard with both feet on the rock wall, thus dissolving part of the force of the fall, slowing the fall down a lot, and falling away from the rock wall again.

"Catherine, charge. About fifty meters above the ground, Pannis suddenly shouted. Catherine, who was anxious below, suddenly had an idea in her mind, instantly understood Pannis's intentions, calculated the distance from the bottom up, and launched a fearless charge against Pannis. Dreadnought's ability is to force a rapid impact along the straight line between the two, and Catherine's impact from below just hit Pannis, once again dissolving part of the falling force, and Pannis is already less than twenty meters from the ground. After the skill ended, Catherine's eyes turned around, and she launched a support charge against Marcia without any pause, and her body turned into a silver streamer again, and instantly appeared beside Marcia, standing firmly on the ground.

The falling Pannis did several flips in the air, consuming the impact and approaching the ground at the same time. As soon as his feet touched the ground, Pannis curled up and rolled against the ground, spreading the force of the impact evenly among all parts of his body, and smoothly leaving his landing point, thus avoiding the ensuing rockfall attack.

"How are you?" Lina, who was closest to her, rushed up and didn't dare to help him casually, so she could only squat aside and ask, "Are there any injuries to the bones and internal organs?"

"Luckily, no major problems. Pannis grinned, rubbed his waist, took Lina's hand and stood up, and immediately pulled Lina back a few steps so that the skeletons at the top of the hill could no longer affect them with the boulder, and then groaned and replied, "These bastards were almost counted by them." ”

"Are there conscious skeletons again?" the rest of the people and wolves also gathered around, Catherine and Vivien checked carefully to confirm that Pannis was indeed fine, and then looked up angrily at the skeleton on the top of the mountain, Catherine gritted her teeth and said, "They actually learned to ambush?"

On the top of the mountain, the skeletons retracted back into everyone's sight, only a skeleton knight at the head pointed to the five people and five wolves under the mountain, and the mandibles kept opening and closing, as if they were laughing at the people who were trying in vain.

"Let's take a detour. Catherine looked back at the pursuing skeleton that had approached a few hundred meters and sighed, "Let's see if the other two mountains can be crossed." ”

"It's useless, it's like that for all three mountains here. Marcia shook her head and said, "Because of the concealment and difficulty of entering here, the orcs built the altar here. ”

"Then you can only force your way up?" Catherine asked, "It is too difficult to attack by force, it is difficult to ensure that there is no damage, and the safest thing is to think of other ways." ”

"Then I'll have to go the way I did. "There is a canyon that leads through half of the mountain into a small valley, and there is a tunnel in the deep cliff, through which you can reach the Valley of the Sacrifices." They told me that this was a hundred years ago, when they were still worshipping their ancestors every year, and every time they entered and exited the passage, I had planned to take this road before. ”

"Sounds like a good road. Catherine asked, "If there is this road, why didn't you go before and climb the mountain?"

"Because of the density of the undead. Rubbing his waist and grinning teeth, Pannis had recovered a little, and replied for Marcia: "She must have been injured in this canyon before, and then she was forced to flee." ”

"Yes. As for the history of his defeat, Marcia did not hide it: "Confirm whether you want to go there first, and if you want to go, say as you go, the pursuers are only a hundred meters away." ”

Everyone's eyes stayed on Catherine's face, Catherine gritted her teeth, nodded vigorously and said: "Just go over there, there are many undead, but there are many of us, and the narrow place is not easy to be besieged by the enemy." ”

"Okay, let's go. Marcia immediately remounted the wolf to lead the way, and continued the previous topic: "When I entered that canyon, the canyon was about twenty meters wide, and it was full of undead people, large herds. The canyon is about two kilometers long, but there are at least tens of thousands of undead inside, and there are fifty or sixty Bone Knights of the Golden Order alone. I used the Blade Storm to break through some distance, but I inevitably fell under siege. Fortunately, because the ordinary skeletons around are too crowded, it is impossible for the Bone Knight to surround me at one time, and no more than three of them will participate in the siege of me at a time, otherwise if those gold-level undead really swarmed up, it is estimated that you will not be able to see me today. ”

"Fifty or sixty?" Catherine's face was a little ugly, and she confirmed, "And all of them are gold-level undead?"

"No, not fifty or sixty. Marcia said in an accentuated tone: "But there are fifty or sixty of them that I can confirm, after all, in the canyon, those bone knights are also left to fight on foot from the bone goat, and they can only be distinguished by their breath." ”

"So there may actually be more?" Lina on the side rubbed her forehead and sighed, and said to Catherine, "Sister, why don't we discuss the issue of climbing the mountain again?"

"Don't mess around. The distance in the wolf running was too far, Catherine couldn't knock Lina on the head, so she could only scold angrily, and continued to say to Marcia: "The denser the formation, the more beneficial it is for us, Vivian and Lina are very good at dealing with dense formations, so don't worry too much about the number." However, if it is a canyon, will it be like a mountain, where someone is ambushing and throwing stones?"

"No, the canyon is triangular, and there is only a thin slit of less than half a meter at the top, so we can be safe as long as we walk close to the mountain wall. Marcia suddenly pointed forward, "Look, that's it, we're here." (To be continued.) )
