Chapter 362: Walking at the Junction of Life and Death

The curtain of the starry sky in the dark night was torn open.

The sky became clear for a moment, and a blinding light poured down.

Once again, it was the same day, and it was no different from the countless days except for the clouds that drifted in the sky.

The sun hangs forever on one side.

Below, the gates of the fortress.

Arka and the others have already arrived, and in addition to them, those who attended the meeting yesterday have already arrived.

Those who came were the ones who wanted to actually join the operation.

Rikay, Talune, Chanarys.

These three powerhouses whose strength had reached the fifth stage stood at the door and looked at the others.

Ruikai took a step forward, looked at everyone and said, "I believe you should have read the information yesterday, three target points, from right to left."

Each of us was led by the three of us. ”

"I'm here to introduce you, I'm from the Holy Machine Church. In battle, I was able to exert enough combat power. He is good at having many enemies with one enemy, and in the face of a powerful enemy, he can also have enough means to delay it.

However, in the case of a 1-on-1 situation of the same level, you better not come near me, because in that case, I may not be able to hold my hand. ”

After speaking, his right hand led to the silent saint and introduced:

"This Thalone is from the Church of Our Lady. She can't speak, and it will be a little difficult to communicate without familiarity. Powerful, the ability to use the Holy Light, in the face of those special undead with half of the necromantic power, has a strong targeted lethality.

Also able to protect others on the way to battle.

The last one is a mermaid from the seed of life, a cultivator. In this swamp covered with seawater, it can exert a strong fighting force. It can also bring some buffs to teammates during combat. ”

Ruikai briefly described the direction and abilities of the three of them to everyone.

"Now, you can choose your own captain according to your ability and strength.

Each captain needs two four-stage and one three-stage. ”

"Choose now."

Instead of asking about the privacy of the crowd, Rikai left the choice to them and let them choose the captain according to their own circumstances.

I have to say that it is indeed a good way.

In this operation, there was basically not much collaboration between each other.

There is no understanding of each other.

After the operation, they may not continue to cooperate, so they did not rush to ask for some secret information.

But it also needs to be faced rationally, and no one will fool around at such a time and put their lives in danger.

Canaryse looked at Julia with a blank look and beckoned to her.

Julia thought for a moment and walked in her direction. Seeing this, Canarys smiled and reached out to hold Julia's hand.

Arka turned his head to look at Shadetti: "The two of us will go to the Holy Maiden's team. ”

Xia Daiti nodded, and the two came behind the Silent Saintess.

The Silent Saintess smiled and nodded at the two of them.

It is obviously much more free to act with people of the same faith and the same church.

Naturally, Bororo had no choice but to come to Rikai's side.

Rikai looked at Polo and couldn't help but reach out and pat Polo's arm.

After all, Poloro is tall, and he can only shoot in this place.

"You're so strong, you should be the Storm Champion under the command of the Sea God, right?"

Bororo nodded, then compared the muscles in his right hand.

As the muscles agitate, the electric lines in the shoulder area are revealed.

Looking at this scene, Ruikai nodded with great satisfaction.

"It's a really good team."

You must know that the Poseidon Church is the largest church in this world, and after the world was broken, it was mainly relied on, and the sea of Poseidon connected the broken fragments together.

Naturally his followers, as well as himself. In such a world, there is an extremely strong advantage.

It's a world of the ocean.

The so-called Storm Champion is naturally an extremely powerful thug in the church.

It must be a strong one at the same stage.

Gilina also came to Arka's side: "This time we are teammates again. ”

Xia Daiti looked at Gilena and smiled, and the two embraced.

There are two acquaintances of Xia Daiti, and there are members of the Church of Our Lady who have a good relationship with the flower fairy.

Naturally, Jilena would have chosen their side.

And they have the experience of working together, and they already have the most basic trust. Forming a team can better help each other.

With everyone chosen, the three teams were formed.

In addition to the mermaids like her, the other two members of Julia's team were the young man who presided over the meeting yesterday. and another unknown member of the Church of the Holy Machine.

On the side of Bororo, in addition to a member of the Church of Our Lady, there is also a member who is not known if he is a member of the Church. Because the outfit on his body didn't look like any obvious features.

But I can feel it from this person's temperament, this must be a good fighter, but there is a little bit of gloom. And he was silent, barely seeing him speak.

"Now that we've made up the divisions, let's go our separate ways, and return as soon as we complete our objectives.

There will be a team in the border area to meet us. ”

The gardener of Flner, who was standing on the rampart, nodded to the special team below.

Pick up your own flower scepter and wave it gently.

Immediately vines began to spread from under the feet of the people, and then three flowers grew. Huge flowers wrapped all the members of the three teams inside.

The flowers that had completely enveloped the three of them regrouped and retracted back into the water, entering the vine layer.

Vines are connected to the sea water below the vine layer, and they move quickly forward.

Arka and Shadetti leaned against the petals.

Because of the silence, the saint just sat around silently. The two didn't think about chatting with her, so they had to look at Jilena next to them.

"What is this? It should be able to directly bring us to the border of life and death, right? ”

Hearing Alka's question, Gilena nodded: "Only a gardener can do it, from the blessing of the flower fairy." Able to move quickly in the land of spirits with the help of plants. ”

After listening to his explanation, the two nodded.

"How long will it take?"

If you drive a normal distance from the fortress to the edge of the border between life and death, it will take about 2~3 days.

"It will probably only take half a day," Gilena said. ”

"That's pretty fast." Xia Daiti said.

After chatting for a few words, several people leaned against the edge of the flowers, feeling the shaking caused by the movement of the flowers.

I don't know how long it took, Arka suddenly asked.

"I've always had a question that I haven't figured out, if you don't mind, can you tell me why Huaxian has to recover at this time period.

It feels like you're not prepared enough, so that should be a pretty big deal, right? ”

Arka never figured it out, nor did he get any information about it.

You know, this is the revival of an old god.

But it feels like the entire land of spirits is not prepared enough, even the flower fairy herself.

It seems that because of some force majeure reasons, we have to choose to hastily recover at this stage.

Hearing this, Gilena was a little silent.

looked at Xia Daiti, and the two looked at the Silent Saintess.

"It's okay, this place can be considered my own, otherwise I don't know how to answer you."

After a few casual remarks, Gilena began to answer Arka's question.

Seeing that the Silent Saint didn't seem to care, it was obvious that she knew the reason.

"Before you left, our gods had already met the conditions for recovery."

Hearing this, Arka couldn't help but start recalling in his mind.

According to what he saw, there should be a [Holy Grail] level treasure missing.

No, it doesn't seem right when you think about it.

What he saw at that time were points of light that appeared in order from the strongest to the weakest of the treasures.

So when he finally saw the golden light, it suddenly came to an abrupt end.

Thinking about it now, he shouldn't have had time to fully see the end at that time, and the flower fairy had already converged the revealed runes.

So the divine essence of the flower that I got was actually the last piece of the puzzle for the revival of the flower fairy.

After a brief thought in his head, Arka continued to listen to Gilliana.

"But what my god said at the time was that it would take about two years to slowly prepare for the ritual, and he would not begin to recover until he was fully safe."

Speaking of this, Jilina looked at the two of them: "That's why we spent a lot of money to invite you to work with us to clean up those cultists that exist within us."

By the way, help us clean up those cunning rats outside. ”

Hearing this, Arka suddenly realized.

Indeed, at that time, the fragrant country was unusually generous, and there was a hint of eagerness.

Now that I think about it, I can't wait for the revival of the god I believe in.

"Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and we even deliberately show a trace of flaws and weakness to attract those cults who have thoughts about our god to show up.

However, it was not long before I knew why. Our god was a little serious and told us to start reviving immediately.

So everything didn't have time to get ready, half of the place fell, there was chaos inside, and the cultists rushed over at the same time as if they had made an appointment.

Even before my god began to recover, the undead at the junction of life and death were already preparing for a large-scale all-out attack. ”

After listening to Gilena's account of the whole incident, Arka nodded, in this way, in fact, they didn't know much about the specifics of the whole incident.

It may be only after waiting for the flower fairy to fully recover that we can know the reason.

Just as everyone was chatting like this.

Half a day passed quickly.

The people who were resting in the buds felt the violent shaking of the flowers. The direction of the flower's shaking changes, apparently arriving at the location.

Then the flowers slowly rise upwards.

A huge flower emerges from the water and blooms.

The four people of Arka walked out of the stamens.

"Well, is it just us?"

"Others should be closer to their goals."

Arka said, suddenly feeling the touch of Xia Daiti next to him.

Turning his head to look behind them.

The place where they were at this time was actually on top of a cliff, and the cliff was easily covered with vines, hanging down in the swampy water below.

They were on the edge of an island.

Because it is a cliff, they are more hidden in this place, and they look down from a high place.

at the limit of their field of vision.

About three or four kilometers away from where they were, a large group of undead could be seen gathering in a long line, heading into the distance.

There are a large number of undead, all kinds of them, and a steady stream of undead is like a pipe connecting the border between life and death.

"Really...... Huge army. Xia Daiti muttered.

Arka looked at the number of the army.

Suddenly frowned, turned to look at Jilena and asked, "How many such transportation roads are there?" ”

"4 of a kind."

"Is each one of them on the same scale?"

Gilena shook her head, her expression equally serious.

"Not so long ago, there was not such an exaggerated amount of information as it is now, and it was much less than that."

"In other words, now the border of life and death has hoarded a large number of troops at the border? Damn, it won't ......"

Several people had bad thoughts.

Turning her head to look at the Silent Saintess just behind her.

The Silent Saintess looked at the three of them and shook her head slightly, giving them a reassuring expression. Then he shook his hand lightly and walked towards the area where life and death bordered.

Looking at this situation, although the three of them were slightly worried.

But obviously, they may have already discovered and prepared for it at the fortress, and they didn't need to worry too much.

Follow the Silent Maiden forward.

Soon they were through the woods of the island, and in front of them was a barrenness. and the verdant woodland here, completely forming two different appearances.

It was covered with grayish-black plants, each of which looked a little dilapidated, as if it was about to wither.

Even the land is gray and cracked.

It is in such a land that there are still some dying plants.

It makes people feel that the environment here is unusually weird.

And even the sky is surrounded by dull colors.

It's as if a wall separates the inside and outside.

Several people watched in silence.

Then he followed the saint and walked into the area of life and death.

As soon as I passed through the film, there was a sweet smell in the air, and the sweetness seemed to be mixed with a strange strange smell.

The environment, the smells, and the sensations on the skin, make them extremely uncomfortable here.

"Do you have any weird feelings, as if something is staring at us?"

Xia Daiti, who had keen senses, seemed to have noticed something wrong and asked.

Arka nodded, but he didn't feel it very obviously, only by perceiving it carefully, he could clearly perceive it.

As for Gilliana, she hardly felt that way.

The silent saintess in front of her turned her head to look at Xia Daiti, slightly surprised.

It seems surprising that a three-stage person can have such a keen perception.

Then he gave everyone a reassuring look.

The energy of the holy light appeared in the palm of his hand, and it was gently swayed, staining everyone's bodies.

The strange feeling is gone, and even the very uncomfortable tactile sensation of the surroundings is gone.

It's still uncomfortable, but it's a lot better than just now.

The entire island is in the form of a slope.

Passing through the gray, dry and cracked area, they entered the swampy area again.

And this area is the real swamp that reveals.

For the whole of Zehai, although they are called Zehai, they are only somewhat similar to the swamp.

It's just a layer of vines, staying below the surface of the sea.

There is still a certain difference with the swamp.

But the area in front of them was completely different, with all kinds of verdant turf floating above the vines.

You can even see some of the dwarf branches with their roots exposed.

Beneath the verdant vegetation is a little grey root and a strange smell.

The plants floating above made it a little difficult for everyone to see the situation below.

This is the real swamp, exactly like the swamp.

The Holy Maiden walked ahead.

Arka and the others followed, and Xia Daiti had already spread a faint silver ripple, probing the surrounding situation at any time.

The swampy area is really a bit difficult to navigate.

Some of the plant roots floating on the surface are like real land, and in addition to being a little soft, they are able to walk on them.

But if you are not careful, you may step on the air with one foot, and the whole person will suddenly fall crookedly and fall.

The water below is unusually turbid, making it difficult to see below.

When walking, it is easy to be accompanied by some of the underneath plant roots.

After not taking a few steps, Arka frowned irritably as he looked at the various plant roots and vines wrapped around his legs.

Walking around this place is a real test of patience.

And they are already on the good path after the distinction between the Holy Maiden and Xia Daiti.

It's just a foot down.

Gurgling mud bubbles emerge from the water.

Then a broken skull floated up from the water, dangling and floating in the somewhat murky water.

Looking at the skull, Arka just pushed it aside in annoyance.

The light suddenly converged on Xia Daiti's fingertips, and was thrown out with the shaking of her fingers.

In the bushes, there was a terrible sound.

A thin, emerald snake about the length of an arm's length rolled.

A small hole had been punched in his body, and dark blood was pouring out.

The blood that came out gave off a disgusting, rancid stench.

If you look closely, it was actually an undead creature with carrion mixed with verdant plants.

The saintess just waved her hand lightly, and a faint holy flame burst out on the corpse. With a faint sound it burned to ashes.

The hiccup did not affect everyone's progress.

Still silent, he remained vigilant and continued to move forward.

The whole swamp was silent.

Except for the sound of them walking and swaying in the water.

and the ripples of water that their actions emanate.

In the silence, countless undead seemed to have their eyes on him.
