"Is this it?"

After several hours of trekking, Feng Ying and his party finally came to the rift in the mouth of the king of the strange faces.

The shattered rocks and broken crystals were paved on the ground, and there were many cracks in the surrounding caves and mountains, and it seemed that the impact of the previous explosion of the molten mountain dragon on this side was not small.

The King of the Strange-Faced Clan nodded, "Through, here. The energy that comes out is very strong. Through here, you should, directly, reach, the leyline corridor

Sorry we can only. Sending you here, the next way, needs you. Gone on their own. ”

Feng Ying and the others thanked the Odd-Faced Clan earnestly and stepped into it, while the Odd-Faced Clan embarked on the way home, and the two sides parted.

After entering the breach, I walked not far along the passage that the earthquake collapsed, and my vision suddenly opened up.

"This is not a space that can be collapsed by an earthquake." Mecca, the dragon hunter, sighed softly.

In front of them was an abyss with no end in sight, and they could only follow the path naturally formed in the rock face. (Picture from Dragon Saint Commentary)

A lava waterfall with an astonishing heat cascades down from the rock face, and on the other side, a waterfall of clear water, which falls together into the abyss, but does not meet and stir up steam.

This only proves that there is more space underneath, and that lava and water can flow in different directions.

Feng Ying's nose twitched, "Is my nose broken?" Why do you smell some seawater? ”

"Wang!" Amber screamed, as if to say "I smell it too!" ”

"It does have the salty smell of the sea, and it seems to have a direct access to the ocean." The dragon hunter looked forward, "In terms of direction, this dragon crystallization land is located on the north coast of the New World, and it is not surprising that it can be connected to the sea. ”

They move on.

There was no other route to choose from, so they had to follow a narrow rock path, some of which was covered by waterfalls, and they had to be very careful to avoid being swept down the abyss.

The fishy smell of the sea became more and more pronounced, and they could even feel the damp sea breeze.

The group entered a cave that reached out to the sea, and the cave was so large that one wondered if it had formed naturally.

If I had to make an analogy, it was the level to the extent that a behemoth like the Molten Mountain Dragon could easily turn around when it walked in.

Aibo took a few quick steps to the north, and after rounding a corner, she exclaimed, "You can see the sea here!" ”

The group caught up with Aibo.

Looking at the calm sea and sky at the end of the cave, Mecca had a hint of surprise on her face, "No wonder, there is an external passage of this scale, then everything can be explained." ”

"What?" Feng Ying didn't know what he was talking about.

Mecca patiently explained, "Originally, we predicted the path of the molten dragon, and we thought that its final destination would probably be the Valley of Miasma.

But to be honest, with its size, it was difficult to squeeze into that canyon, and even more difficult to enter the underground of the core area of the miasma. ”

As he spoke, Mecca unfolded a map of the New World, "Maybe it wasn't going to go to the Valley of Miasma in the first place, and although it was an ancient dragon graveyard, it might not be suitable for it that was oversized in size."

And follow the Grand Canyon all the way to this place on the northern coast, and you can easily pass through this cave and enter the depths of the leyline corridor.

Probably, this is the real route of it. ”

"Oooh!" Feng Ying looked like "I understand", "And then?" ”

"No more."

Mecca was a little troubled by the straightforward way of thinking of this fellow descendant, "The molten dragon has been stopped, and the corpses have been turned into the molten mountain canyon, which will be a speculation that will never be confirmed. ”

Feng Ying blinked, "Okay, then let's continue walking inside?" ”

"Well, you can also feel it, the deeper you go into the leyline corridor, the more obvious the feeling of that life energy."

Feng Ying felt it seriously, "It seems to be a little, just, there is a vague intuition, as if the front is dangerous, but I can't help but want to move forward." ”

"That's it, that's right." Mecca nodded in satisfaction.

He called back Aibo, who was sketching the cave, and explored the depths of the leylines against the river that led to the sea.

The cave gradually narrowed, and the familiar silver crystals began to appear on the walls around it.

They continued to go on for a full four or five kilometers until they had to stop.

The road in front of me was blocked by several staggered crystalline columns, and it was difficult for hunting cats to get into the narrow gaps in between, let alone humans.

Mecca frowned and removed the bug stick behind her.

Feng Ying followed him with shiny eyes and also removed the shield axe from his back.

Mecca swung his stick and knocked a small piece down on the pillar of crystals that glowed with a hazy white light, and he picked up the fragment and put away his weapon to feel it.

"This purity, amazing! We're really close, what are we going to do?! Mecca, the dragon hunter, looked at Feng Ying, who had his sword into his shield, stunned.

"Ah, didn't you want to break through these barriers?" Feng Ying, who was carrying a giant axe, was stunned.

"Do you think you can smash it open?" Mecca looked at those crystal pillars that were several meters in diameter, and couldn't help but ask who did you learn from this reckless mind?

"Maybe it's okay, I can't smash it." Feng Ying put away her weapon with a dry smile, "Go back and let the pork chop bring more explosives, it should be able to explode." ”

In order to hide her embarrassment, she also walked up to the crystals that blocked the way forward, pressed her palms up, and tried to learn Mecca to say a few words that sounded like "good purity".

A wave of energy rushed into her body along the contact of her palm.

Her pupils were like lit lights, lit up with a silvery blue light.

"Come here. Come here," Feng Ying muttered unconsciously.

Seeing Feng Ying suddenly enter a state of resonance, even Mecca, who has a calm personality, was a little at a loss, and was hesitating whether to wake her up.

Feng Ying's movements suddenly paused, the light in her eyes went out, and she shook her head and regained consciousness.

"Just that?" Feng Ying looked around blankly.

Mecca frowned, "The route has been confirmed, the exploration ends here, and we retreat." ”

In the camp tent, the top hunters stand around a wooden table.

Watching Anhill and Alva summarize the information reported by the returning groups, Gordon asked with some eagerness: "How is it?" Is there a result? ”

"Basically confirm the location of the source of energy, just a little north of the center of the Dragon Crystallization Land, that is, under the exceptionally large and glowing crystal mountain.

The problem is, we haven't found a direct way underground. Alva frowned.

The feeling that the truth was close at hand, but untouchable, made him uncomfortable.

"Can't you find a way to smash that crystal mountain open, or blow it up?" Gordon asked.

Ted on the side also nodded again and again, "Uncle Ben's dragon cannon is ready to go!" ”

"Do you only have muscles left in your heads? Blow up a mountain?! ”

"Blow up your meow! Are you pig meows? ”

Anhill Pork Chop glared angrily at the two of them.

"Doesn't seem realistic?" Gordon smiled dryly and changed the topic, "Anyway, why hasn't Fengying and their group come back yet, it's grinding." ”

"Coming back late isn't necessarily a bad thing." Hayatta smiled and said, "Maybe they've found an important clue and are investigating deeply?" ”

Ps.

In fact, the purpose of the Molten Mountain Dragon was the Valley of Miasma at the beginning, and later it was attracted by the Dark Lantern Dragon, so it turned into the leyline corridor.

The seaside cave in this chapter refers to the "leyline corridor" of the Molten Mountain Dragon rematch in the game.

There's a crack that leads directly to the Dragon's Crystal Land (that's how Grand Master found the Dragon's Crystal) land, and a cave in the depths is the entrance to the Closed Lands.

The reason why it is not called the leyline corridor is to make it easier to distinguish between "outside the leyline" and "deep in the leyline".
