Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Headless Knight

The mountain stream and the grassland are like two heavens separated by yin and yang, the wind outside is green and the sun is soft, while the mountain stream separated from the grassland by only one stone monument is dim, as if an invisible black barrier isolates this valley from the world, forming a dark hell.

The carcass of a half-goat hangs behind the stele, and the blood drips down to dye the back of the stele red, and the rules of the valley of the severed head are to kill a sheep every day and hang its upper body on the stele.

Blood seeped into the dirt and spread into the narrow valley, the surface of the ground was pitted, and every inch of the dirt smelled of death.

Trample.

A small teenager ran quickly, his footsteps unusually messy. The short boy was followed by a young man with a mace in his hand, who was shorter than him, but noticeably more stocky, with much thicker legs and arms than he was, and he ran much faster than the boy, but he never dared to take a step behind him.

Behind are the head eagle and the donkey-headed man, the man-headed eagle, the donkey-headed man and the monkey are in the light of the attack just now, and these two people have been watching secretly, and they basically understand the situation of Roger and the others.

A group of strange people ran all the way and turned, about six turns later, the boy took the lead in running into the mountain road of the two peaks, the mountain road is only less than ten meters, there are stone gates built in front and behind, the stone gate at the end is particularly tall, standing in front of him gives people a sense of indestructibility.

The boy ran to the stone gate before stopping, put his fingers to his mouth and whistled, then pressed his hands on the ground, and after a while he heard an explosion of "Peng" from inside the stone gate.

"Boom", the stone door made an amazing loud noise and was forced open by the people inside, a monster with a bear body and a human head opened the door, and touched the head with the other hand and looked at the boy.

A group of mermaids rushed in, and the monsters behind slowly lowered the stone gate.

The stocky young man holding the mace panted and said, "Jessos, why are we running?",

Running all the way, the young man with amazing physical strength took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped his hands, and said: "Paley, we don't need to bump into them, that old woman who plays with dead people's bones all day long will take them into the Valley of the Broken Head",

Although he appears to be short in stature, the young man's face is quite handsome, but his face is always gloomy, and everyone here is afraid of him.

He didn't finish, and they guarded the most important exit to the valley, and whoever entered or left had to pass through their territory.

Parley let out an incomprehensible "oh", and then he asked a stupid question.

"Jessoth, shall we write to the old woman?",

Jessos glanced back at him and said, "Parley, you should be smarter, don't keep asking stupid questions like this",

No one needed a letter, and the news of his failed raid would soon reach the ears of the old woman, and she would certainly make a move in the night.

Poor Parenne rubbed his head twice, and everyone knew that Jessos was the youngest and smartest person here, and that could not be refuted.

Jessos glanced at the grass hut next to him and stepped into the low, tiled house in front of him.

It soon darkened.

On the grassland, Roger and the three were not in a hurry after giving up the carriage, and had decided to spend the night on the grassland today, where they could not find human eyes or food.

Adams manipulated the plants to build a "house", the green vines were dotted with white crape myrtle flowers, the house built by Adams was like a place where flowers bloomed, Buloh was enjoying the snacks he brought safely, Adams was reading a book, and Roger was concentrating on experimenting with brown dirt.

"The source force is used to compress the gas into the soil, and then the source force is diluted and attached to the soil, and at the same time, part of the source force is connected to the external source force and the internal extruded gas, once the soil is squeezed, trampled or hit hard, the source force attached to the surface of the soil will immediately react and heat, and the heat will be transmitted inward along the line formed by the source force, and the gas that has been compressed to the extreme inside will squeeze each other once heated, and a violent explosion will occur."

Roger came to this conclusion after trial and error by dividing the cut red clay into dozens of small pieces.

Bloo chewed on the snack and said vaguely: "Simple principle",

Roger smiled and said: "As long as I say it, anyone can understand it, but it is not possible for ordinary people to do every point accurately, it is difficult to do it just by compressing the air with the source force, and then the source force is accurately attached to the surface of the external object and kept for a long time, not to mention ordinary people, even first-class magicians are difficult to do these two things at the same time."

Adams glanced at them and smiled: "The simpler the principle, the more difficult it may be to implement, such as Teacher Nan's source power transformation, everyone knows the principle, but only she can do it",

Brobé said "En" and continued to eat snacks, anyway, whatever Roger said along the way seemed to be right.

"I don't know who the other party is, but it must not be the undead summoner", Roger said, "The compression and detonation of gas are not the domain of the summoner",

In contrast, this person who makes mud is closer to the kind of person Demley, but it is even more terrifying, Demley only believes in his own wisdom and completely denies the role of the source force, while this person combines his own wisdom with the source power in his body.

Adams nodded, the Valley of the Guillotine had changed dramatically in recent days, and he had to think about more than just the summoner.

Roger wrapped the brown soil in paper and put it in the box, the source force attached to the surface of the soil has been lost to the outside world, and the source force line has also dissipated, so there is no need to worry about exploding if it is squeezed, but there is still compressed gas inside, which still has a certain research value for him.

"Such harsh conditions can be achieved, and we can mobilize the heads of the eagles and the donkeys in a coordinated and orderly manner, and after a mistake, they accurately judge the withdrawal and come up with a plan to surround us with brown dirt, although it still fails in the end, but it is really difficult to sleep with such a person who is secretly calculating us."

Roger rubbed his temples, looked at the gloomy sky outside and said, "Headmaster, it's easier to attack at night than during the day, I think it's necessary for us to be vigilant tonight",

Adams nodded, put down the book in his hand.

"You're right, Roger, they're already here",

The green vines swayed slightly, and the outside of the house made by the vines was already cold and windy, the night was bleak, the black gas behind the goat's head stele diffused like a demon's breath, and a black-armored knight stepped on a horse in the dark, and the knight without a head on the back of the war horse under the moonlight looked particularly terrifying.

The scars on the severed head were uneven, as if a person with poor knife skills had cut off his head several times with a blunt knife, but the loss of his head did not make the knight lose his direction, and the riding spear in his hand launched a fierce charge at the green vines and crape myrtles raised on the grassland.

Behind him was a neat queue of headless horsemen, black clouds quickly flooding the dim sky.
