55. Those who run away and those who hide
Spells that enter another dimension are actually very common spells. Master Sal Montaro, www.biquge.info of the Pen "Fun", is known for his ability to use portal spells. The arbitrary door released by Master Gad's Archer Golem also allows the Golem to briefly enter another dimension to avoid attacks.
But just as travel must have an end and a starting point, entering another dimension must also have a starting point and an ending point.
Generally speaking. The starting point will be fixed on you, and the end point will choose different coordinates according to the different destinations. In the case of Master Sal Montaro, his portal ends in a few important places. Like the Alchemist's Guild headquarters in the White Tower, his own secret laboratory. His disciples are around, and there are some important people around them. This kind of teleportation is called extradimensional teleportation.
Sometimes, however, there are also spellcasters who travel to another dimension without end coordinates. Most of these people are adventurous explorers who want to discover new and unknown worlds through uncertain travel.
But Dardo was by no means one of the adventurers. He hastily traveled to another dimension while his life was in danger. This trip did not come at all and set an end.
Now, Dardo is floating in another dimension with a bitter face.
As a level fourteen alchemist, Dardo knew very well that there was no danger in wandering in another dimension. Everything here is not in the same dimension as itself, and they do not threaten themselves at all. But now the problem is that he can't find a way out. Even in another dimension, humans still feel thirsty and hungry. As a high-ranking member of the Green Cross cult, Dardo hadn't personally carried food and water for many years, and this time it was the same. Just as nothing in this dimension could hurt him, in this dimension, he couldn't get any supplies.
Dardo was already hungry and thirsty. Originally, he was supposed to enjoy the good food, wine, and beautiful women offered by his subordinates in the prison area of the deep valley.
Getting out of another dimension is not difficult for a high-level alchemist like Dardo. But the stakes are enormous. Because there is no demarcation of the exit coordinates, when he wants to come out of another dimension, he cannot locate it with the help of coordinates. At this point, he may suddenly appear in mid-air, in the water, or even in the soil. These are not the worst, with the skills of a high-level alchemist, he has a good chance of surviving in these environments. In the worst-case scenario, he may even fall directly into the lava or appear in the middle of a large group of city guards.
It's a matter of probability. For Dardo, the sooner he emerges from this extradimensional trip, the better. The sooner he goes out, the better his stamina will be preserved and the closer he will be to the starting point. Dardo didn't want to come out of another dimension and find himself running away to a lonely mountain.
But there is another problem that plagues Dardo. That is, if he comes out of the extradimensional journey soon, he will most likely not be able to stay away from those ambushers. The fierce ambush that seemed to be the collapse of the sky had already scared his guts. He didn't want to clash with those enemies at all. This meant that he would have to run a little further before trying to get out of the other dimension.
"Hold on a little longer. Dardo hesitated for a moment and said to himself inwardly.
Esther sat in a chair. The chair now sits at the top of the only stone staircase leading to the upper area of the Deep Valley Prison. Esther was sitting here, intending to rely on his superhuman perception to try to know the situation on Sonya's side in advance.
This chair is one of the best found in this deep valley. But Easter still felt that it was too hard and did not conform to the curves of the human body. Feeling and nostalgic for the soft and comfortable high-end cushions of the Seawolf Hotel, wrapped in brocade-lined sponge, Esther continued to fiddle with the things in his hands.
In his hand was a long barrel-shaped weapon that had been used to break the morale of the cultists during the assault on the prison in the deep valley. Speaking of this long-barreled weapon, we also have to talk about its owner, the corrupt walker who was shot in one eye by Easter. The guy fainted directly after being shot in one eye by East, and then woke up again while East and Sonia were busy saving people.
This is such a cunning guy. When he found that all his men had been reduced to corpses, he immediately decided to flee. By this time, however, many of the victims had already been released by Esther and Sonya. The valley was full of people, and it was difficult for him to escape without being discovered. Thinking about the terrible combat power of those two girls, coupled with the fact that he was blind in one eye, he could be regarded as seriously injured, and he didn't think he could escape safely.
At this time, the advantage of being familiar with the terrain helped him a lot. He took advantage of the chaos and no one noticed him to plunge headlong into a hidden storage spot. This storage point is a secret storage point excavated in the area of the Deep Valley Prison, and is also the most important weapon and food store in the Deep Valley Prison.
The location of the storage site, located on a rock face in the deep valley, is a small inconspicuous hole with several wooden chests full of hemp rope and various tools. These boxes and the supplies inside are just a cover measure. The entrance to the real storage point is right at the top of the cave, and on top of this cave there is another larger cave.
The one-eyed dragon itself was one of the highest-ranking Green Cross cultists in this Deep Valley prison. After the other higher-ranking cultists were transferred to support the tunnel defense battle, he was the only one left in the entire valley who knew about this secret material storage point.
The process of hiding in this secret hideout went more smoothly than he could have imagined. This hiding place not only has plenty of food, but also a lot of precious medicines. Although the eye could not be allowed to grow back, it was easy to stabilize the injury.
There is an alarm device in the secret storage site that can directly warn the Green Cross cult's base camp. The cyclops activated the device the first time. He has full confidence in the Green Cross cult, believing that reinforcements will soon arrive, recapture these experiments, and annihilate the invading enemy.
Soon, however, he discovers that there is a problem hiding here that is difficult to overcome - there is no water.
There was no shortage of water throughout the deep valley prison. To be precise, there is no shortage of water in the entire underground area. The water table in the entire Colombo region is high thanks to the huge volume of water in the Pervas River. In the underground area, there are many naturally formed underground lakes and underground rivers. In the deep valley, although there is no natural body of water, it is too easy to dig a well.
Using the manpower of the test subjects imprisoned here, the cultists drilled eight wells in a very small area of the deep valley prison. These wells provide an abundance of water for domestic use, and the long-term caretakers have no idea of storing drinking water.
People who have lost blood from injuries always feel thirsty. The cyclops is no exception. After filling his stomach with food from the storage point, the feeling of thirst ravaged him even more. He even tried to quench his thirst by drinking the potions he had stored, but soon discovered that the potions were too good to quench his thirst. And more importantly, drinking too much potion in a short period of time will produce drug resistance and side effects. When the cyclops found that he could not quench his thirst with potions, he was left with the only option left to venture out and find water.
There is no day or night in the underground area. Everyone can only rely on the timer to determine their schedule. In the cave inhabited by the cultists, Est was lucky enough to find a magic clock. With this magic clock, he can finally arrange everyone's work and rest time reasonably.
In the eyes of the surface dwellers, the underground area is always dark. Only in the vicinity of a limited light source can surface dwellers be able to move normally. Esther organized a team of people to collect the magical light sources that were originally scattered throughout the deep valley, and only selected a few large caves that were bright enough for human activity.
The rest of the light sources, Esther intends to concentrate and use as mobile light sources. When these hundreds of rabble meet the enemy, a bright enough light is the fundamental thing to ensure that they will not collapse on their own.
Easter's efforts to reduce the distribution of light sources inadvertently did the Cyclops a great favor.
The one-eyed dragon, hiding in a secret storage point, keeps an eye on the situation outside. The storage point is cleverly designed so that people can still hear the outside while hiding inside. The one-eyed dragon, who had been suffering from thirst for a long time, found that after a while of noise outside, fell into an unknown state of silence (Esther organized all the militia to take turns sleeping). After a moment of silence, the one-eyed dragon made up his mind to come out of his shelter in search of water. In order to reduce the chance of being discovered, he deliberately turned out some black cloth from the items in the storage point and tossed a black cloak for himself. He wrapped his head in a cloak, carried two wooden buckets that had been used to hold hard biscuits, and quietly opened a gap in the secret door of the storage place.
It's pitch black outside, but it's hard to see eyes with multiple visual patterns. The one-eyed dragon looked left and right with the only remaining strange eye, and found that the small cavern that had been used as a shield had been swept away, and the boxes that had been piled up here had been removed, making the cave look extremely empty.
When entering the secret storage site, the one-eyed dragon borrowed power from standing on a chest. Now that the box is gone, he can't jump straight down, otherwise it will be troublesome to come up later. Fortunately, he had already looked at a ladder. He gently protruded the ladder through the secret door until one end of the ladder touched the ground. The ladder was originally intended to deliver supplies to secret storage sites, so the length was just right. He hooked the grappling hook at the other end of the ladder to the anchor point next to the secret door, and slipped out of the ladder to the ground.
The one-eyed dragon's heart fluttered. In this unobstructed cave, as long as someone shines in with a light, he will be the first to be found. He stayed in the cave for about a minute, listening carefully to what was going on outside the cave. Found it really quiet outside, at least no one talking or walking around close to yourself.
The one-eyed dragon silently thanked the darkness for protection. He poked his head out of the cave and looked at the place where there was a light. After making sure that there were no patrols in the valley, he tiptoed to the nearest well, carrying two barrels.
Soon, the well appeared in front of his eyes. The ground next to the wellhead is still wet, and it can be seen that someone must have pumped a large amount of water not long ago. The one-eyed dragon licked his dry lips and looked around.
It's nice that no one. He reached the edge of the well, quickly hoisted a bucket of water on his wheel, and then picked up the bucket and drank it with a clatter.
"Ahh He had never thought ordinary water would taste so good. Not daring to delay any longer, he hurriedly filled the two wooden barrels he brought. With these two buckets of water, he can hold out for at least three or four days. By that time, the Holy Sect's men and horses must have already fought back!
