Chapter 52: The Heavenly Road Plateau (2)

The Heavenly Road Plateau is located in the northwest of the Five Great Temples area, stretching for thousands of miles, and is incomparably vast.

Covering millions of square kilometers and with an average altitude of more than 4,000 meters, this plateau is known as the "back of the beginning" and is the source of many large rivers.

Trapped by the inability to use high-tech means, psychics can only measure every inch of the Celestial Path Plateau with their feet. After hundreds of years of exploration, the area that has been discovered on the Tianlu Plateau is still only a pitiful few pieces, and the total area is only one percent of the Tianlu Plateau.

The area that has been discovered so far, the closest area to the five temples is the Stone Steps Mountains, which are the lowest at sea level and are known for their well-known landforms. From the foot of the Stone Step Mountain Range, along the Heavenly Road, every distance you walk, the altitude will suddenly rise hundreds of meters, like layers of stone stairs.

The Stone Steps Mountains are dominated by artemisia grass and scattered dwarf trees. Trees that can take root and sprout on stony ground are extremely tenacious.

Lin wore a cloak, like an ordinary traveler, and came to the foot of the Heavenly Road Plateau, in front of the Stone Step Mountain Range.

He saw a winding crawling, boundless heavenly path, a path that generations of psychics had stepped on with their feet. The Heavenly Road stretched into the depths of the towering mountains, obscured by a faint mist.

To this day, Lin can still feel the greatness of the sages who explored the Origin Realm. In the process of exploring the Heavenly Path, there must have been people who shed blood and even lost their surnames. But the desire for the unknown still drives psychics to keep moving forward.

Lin saw a boundary monument on which the meaning of "Heavenly Road Plateau" was written in more than a dozen real-world characters. Next to the boundary monument, there is also a huge wooden sign with various characters on it, indicating the types and approximate levels of monsters in the Stone Steps Mountains.

Lin looked at it very carefully, synthesized what he had learned in Ouyang Xiu's collection, and confirmed it.

"Hey, brother, are you going to try your luck in the Stone Step Mountain Range?" a bearded man next to him came over enthusiastically, "Why don't you join our team, there is a seventh-level psychic to lead the team, and safety is absolutely guaranteed." ”

Lin looked up, looked at his beard, then took off his cloak and pointed to a badge on his chest.

"The little brother has a good face. Dahan saw Lin's slightly immature face, and laughed, he was indeed confused by Lin's tall figure, thinking that he was an adult man, so he quickly corrected his mistakes, and Lin instantly changed from a "brother" to a "little brother".

"What, you're just a psychic apprentice?" Seeing a green five-pointed star badge on Lin's chest, the big man's face instantly turned cloudy, "Little brat, the Heavenly Road Plateau is a place where phantom-level monsters appear, and your strength is still enough...... Wait, how many levels are you a psychic apprentice?"

Lin grinned, and despite the fact that the big man demoted him to a "little kid", he replied seriously: "Level three." ”

The cheeky man didn't even have the patience to say a word, turned around and left, muttering: "I didn't expect that my Wang beard also has a time to look away." ”

Lin put on his cloak again, and he also tied a black headband to his forehead, so that people would not see the Tianyan mark on his head.

In the eyes of the idiots beside him, Lin crossed the boundary monument and walked towards the first area of the Heavenly Road Plateau: the Stone Step Mountain Range.

As the first stop of the Heavenly Road Plateau, the main monsters living in the Stone Steps Mountain Range are herds of wild wolves, zebras, antelopes, etc., which are basically at the level of waste spirits, living in groups, led by one or two phantom-level leaders. The more ferocious ones like the saber-toothed tiger and the rhinoceros horned leopard are all phantom-level existences.

One of the major features of the Stone Steps Mountain Monster is that it is a ferocious animal. The so-called ferocious animals are particularly fierce versions of ordinary animals, even ferocious beasts contaminated with the breath of the gods. They are generally 1~3 times larger than animals of the same species, more powerful, and have certain special abilities.

Lin knows his level, when he encounters a fierce animal, as long as it is not too powerful, he can still deal with it, if it is two, then smear oil on the soles of his feet as soon as possible, in case his luck is too bad and he encounters more than three violent monsters, then he will not even have a chance to escape.

Fortunately, with Lin's understanding of the Stone Steps Mountain Range, the ferocious monsters are mutated from ordinary monsters, which are extremely rare, and they are basically the leaders of the clan, and there are rarely two or three ferocious monsters in a group, so I am relieved.

Summoned Arcelia, Lin and the blonde girl walk side by side.

Arcelia still had a serious expression, but the corners of her lips pursed when she occasionally talked to Lin still showed that she liked to talk to Lin, or rather, she liked to listen to Lin - the two of them talked all the way, but basically Lin was talking, and the quiet Alcelia only occasionally uttered one or two monosyllabic words to express her agreement.

After walking for hours, it was already completely dark.

"Arcelia, have you ever camped in the wilderness?" said Lin unkindly.

The blonde girl remembered blankly, then nodded affirmatively.

"Then you will definitely set up a tent," Lin said with a grin, if Lin was a demon and not a human, he could see that there must be a little devil's tail shaking behind his ass, and at the same time, two demonic horns would come out of his head, "I have a tent here." ”

As he spoke, Lin took out a few iron brackets from the storage card, as well as a large tent curtain: "It's a pity, there is only one tent, and we can only squeeze it at night...... Actually, I'm very careful about honor, but for your sake, I don't care about it......"

The blonde girl Arcelia blinked her blue eyes and made a confused expression.

"In other words, we will sleep together at night," Lin thought that it was not clear enough, so he made it clear, and at the same time swore that "I sleep very honestly, and I will never grind my teeth and snore, turn over and grab the quilt and other vices......"

"However, Arcelia only needs to return to the king's psychic card. The blonde girl was a little dazed, and rarely said a long sentence to express her confusion: "Why are you still crowding the tent?"

Lin was momentarily stunned for a second.

There seemed to be a crow flying over its head, "croaking" and "croaking", and a row of ellipses was brought out...... Damn, how did you forget this stubble, Lin Qi thought with a snort.

"Na, na," Lin quickly reacted and smiled, "Arcelia, we're camping in the dangerous Stone Steps Mountains, not safe Heryonisburg! ”

Lin was very unbridled in hiding the fact that he could summon Arcelia in an instant.

"Yes. The blonde girl lowered her head and thought for a moment, then changed to a determined expression: "Understood." ”

Lin was overjoyed, found a relatively empty place, and prepared to light a fire and set up a tent.

I have to say that Arcelia is ingenious, and her skills in setting up tents are much higher than Lin's, and soon, a blue tent was erected.

Immediately, Arcelia found some dead branches and piled them on the ground, and Lin took out the flint and lit it into a bonfire.

"Arcelia," Lin coughed, "it's getting late, shouldn't you ......?"

The blonde girl looked back at Lin, then nodded, opened the tent, and knelt on one knee: "Please go to bed." ”

Lin was secretly refreshed, got into the tent, and said silently in his heart: "All for intimacy, all for intimacy!

The tent was quickly lowered, and the straight figure of the blonde girl riding a spear was reflected in the shadow of the fire.

"Hey, Alcelia, why don't you come in?" asked Lin curiously.

The blonde girl replied in a natural tone, "Please go to bed, for tonight Arcelia will keep a vigil for him." ”

Watch, vigil?!

Lin almost collapsed, and the thoughtfulness of the emotional Arcelia at that time, and the determined expression, was thinking of the vigil!

With Lin's ability to detect the senses, as long as the monster walks within a radius of twelve meters, it will definitely be noticed by Lin and wake up, and there is no need for a vigil at all.

Moreover, what a violent act to put a weak girl (who is actually a heroic female knight) to keep vigil outside the tent!

Lin hurriedly stopped Arcelia's vigil and told the female knight that as a spiritualist, Lin didn't need a vigil at all. For a long night, two people can do things that are good for their physical and mental health.

Helplessly, Arcelia was resolute, she didn't believe in Lin's detection ability, and still insisted on being a sentinel.

Enraged, Lin wants to force Arcelia to stop the vigil, whether it is to sleep in the tent or return to the psychic card, Lin will never allow the female knight to stand outside the tent for the night. But seeing Arcelia's lost expression, Lin felt as if he had been slashed.

"Alright, you keep vigil for me. Lin was helpless and lay back in the tent.

The blonde female knight smiled happily, and her innocent smile made Lin's heart seem to be gripped by a hard hand, and she felt indescribable guilt.

This night, Lin had insomnia. Every time he saw Arcelia's black shadow as straight as a spear, Lin sighed lowly, then turned over and forced himself not to look. But after a few minutes, Lin couldn't help but turn over again and face Arcelia, hoping to see the female knight sleepy and then order her to rest.

However, the back of the blonde girl, as straight as a spear, never swayed.

"It's my fault, loyal Arcelia. Lin Ru thought: "Because of my momentary lies, I made you stand meaninglessly all night." I finally understood what Mr. Ouyang meant by friends. Spirits are friends of psychics and should be treated wholeheartedly. I swear I will never tell you a lie in the future. ”

To be sure, Lin didn't have a dirty idea to ask Arcelia to rest with him. Cultivating intimacy is also secondary, and Lin still has the intention of teasing this serious female knight - it is a very interesting thing to watch the female knight's usual seriousness turn into shyness.

However, Lin did not expect that Arcelia would be misunderstood, she thought that Lin needed a night watchman to ensure her safety, and as a guardian knight, she was obligated to do so.

All of this was predestined as early as when Lin recited the engraved spell of insight into the heart of her in the state of the wasted spirit:

"Sleeping souls, listen to me, a psychic. ”

"O loyal knight Arcelia, let go of the betrayal and despair of the past, and awaken from the eternal sleep, for you to protect my noble life, and I to restore you to the glory of the past. Under the witness of the kingdom of God, the deed!"
