Chapter 574: Black Prison

Such a large proportion of half-elves and elves, coupled with their long lives far longer than humans, doomed the valley to be in the hands of elves and half-elves rather than humans, both in terms of life customs and most political decisions.

Therefore, the people here, whether they are elves, half-elves, or humans, all live in the elven style tree towers, tree houses, most of the buildings are far from the ground, when this is flooded by the flooding of lakes and rivers, naturally will not be affected, but there is a unique scene of people living in the house, fish at the foot of the downstream, many leisure and elegant half-elves or humans, directly at the door of their own homes, throw out the fishing rod and start fishing, but unless forced to hunger, otherwise they are fishing with a straight hook, Fishing is not the goal, self-cultivation and playing with natural creatures is their pleasure, which is a way of life that non-residents of the deep forest valley cannot understand.

It is only the ordinary residents of the Deep Forest Valley who are leisurely and happy, and the non-ordinary residents of the Deep Forest Valley will be like a great enemy at this time.

The Lord of the Deep Forest, Celemen*Ulas, will inevitably lead the elite Sword of the Deep Forest with his own wisdom trust, magic master, and famous Prophet of the Deep Wood Valley, Mage Lawntyc, to the depths of the dense forest north of the Glerim River, a place that even ordinary Deep Forest Valley residents are rarely reached—the Black Prison.

It was a long, black rift carved directly into the forest, marked by blackened and twisted trees, and according to the elven court and the mages of the valley, the fissure was once a prison for a powerful evil god in charge of withering and decaying.

However, no one has yet figured out whether it is an early form of a fallen god of corruption or some other evil being.

It is not clear whether that evil is still imprisoned in prison, because at the beginning, the Elven Royal Court successively sent several powerful exploration teams into this bottomless crack, all of which were led by those powerful quasi-legends and legends.

These exploration teams either don't know what to do, they don't see people alive or dead, and even the complete resurrection and prayer spells are useless to them, or a very small number of strong people have withdrawn, and without exception, they all fall into a state of madness, killing everything around them, including their own relatives.

The only thing that is certain now is that the Black Hell is far deeper than what is seen, and is connected to evil spirits or dark gods that will pollute the spirits of those who enter.

The creatures that wander around this forest, after staying here for a long time, are prone to fall into that state of killing frenzy.

For this reason, the deep forest valley had to set up a quarantine zone here, and sent people to drive away those forest creatures and prohibit them from entering.

Over time, the forest creatures will naturally avoid this place.

However, this method does not work well during the rainy season, and the spreading river water will follow the terrain all the way to the area, forming a huge temporary river channel that floods the river into the black prison, and these rivers naturally bring a large number of aquatic life.

This black crack is like a greedy monster's mouth, no matter how much river water and water creatures swallow, it will never be satisfied, and it will never fill, making one wonder if it is directly connected to hell.

It is not possible to go with hell, but it is possible with a huge and unimaginable dark region.

The elites of the Deep Forest Valley are stationed here, not to prevent the flooding of the river from pouring in, but to prevent an unspeakable terrifying existence from rushing out of it.

Fortunately, as its name suggests, this is a huge prison, which has always been only accessible and not entered.

If it were a forgetful race with a short life like humans, it is estimated that it would have already ignored this place.

However, elves and half-elves with long memories are different, many of the warriors in the Sword of the Deep Forest are witnesses to the exploration team sent by the Elven Royal Court, and they have witnessed the crazy appearance of the people returning from inside, and at the same time, the experience of being stationed next to the black prison all year round also let them know the weirdness of this place, and the erosion of the spirit is invisible and shadowless.

Once you stay here for a long time, your temper tends to start to become irritable, paranoid, suspicious, anxious, and so on.

Therefore, they take a rotation here, the same soldier must not be on duty here for more than three months a year, and a mental assessment will be conducted every ten days, and once they find that their mental state has changed, they will be transferred out of this place immediately, and they will not be on duty here again.

It is precisely for the above reasons that even after many years of black prison, there is still no abnormality, and Shenlin Valley has maintained enough vigilance from top to bottom to dare not be careless.

This conscientious spirit made them aware of the strange situation coming to the black prison for the first time.

"What's that?"

"It's a dark area created by magic."

"Something is wrong, something is very wrong, there is a powerful dark aura in the darkness, some evil beings want to enter the black prison, hurry up and report to the lord and the prophet."

"The mage prepares the daylight technique, tears through the darkness, and sees what is hidden inside, and it turns out that at night, it is all shrouded in darkness."

Elves and half-elves are both faint and dim vision, and even on moonless nights, they can see far away, let alone the moonlight is good now.

A darkness that they couldn't see through was surging over the makeshift river, a dark area created by magic that could only be explained.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As the daylight technique smashed down one by one, the deep darkness was torn open one by one, allowing everyone to see the situation inside.

"What the hell is this?"

"What is this Arachnid Drow? Or a pile of corpses? ”

"It's definitely not Arachnid Drow, this thing is at least the same size as the Ancient Dragon, and it has a super giant size, even if it is a spider Drow who has cast the Giant Transformation Technique, it will not become so big."

"The undead, this is the undead cobbled together by countless corpses."

"Stop it, stop it quickly, don't let it get close to the Black Prison, no one knows what kind of changes this thing will bring to this place after entering the Black Prison."

With the light created by the Daylight Technique, after seeing the scene inside, it directly made these Deep Forest Sword warriors feel that their vision and spirit were greatly polluted.

The existence inside completely broke their cognition, and mere existence was a blasphemy against nature, not to mention the darkness and evil that emanated from it.

The darkness emanating from its surroundings was not deliberate, but it came with it, and its effect far exceeded that of ordinary dark arts, and the daylight technique, which originally lasted for minutes, only lasted for a few dozen seconds around it, and it was once again overwhelmed by the surging darkness.

The warriors of the Sword of the Deep Forest, without hesitation, shot the sharp arrows in their hands at the indescribable evil thing, although the other party has been shrouded in darkness again, these warriors are full of absolute confidence in their archery skills, and with the sight of the storm just now, they can also accurately predict where it is now.

Compared to swordsmanship, archery is what they are best at, and this team was originally named the Sword of the Deep Forest, which means that they are the swords of the Deep Forest Valley, and they wield it in order to protect the Deep Forest Valley, not after their own characteristics.

A large number of arrows fell into the darkness, as if stones had sunk into the sea.

The speed of darkness's advance increased suddenly, indicating that the terrifying monster inside had increased its speed.

"All warriors, all stand out and don't be swept into the darkness." An old and powerful voice came from afar, followed by the sound of a spell casting, "Yang Yan Burst." ”

Eight Rings Spell.

A deadly nemesis of dark creatures and the undead.

The blazing white light silently exploded in the deepest depths of the darkness.

The positive energy used by the eight-ring spell is not the same as the four-ring daylight technique.

The raging positive energy completely tore apart the darkness with a diameter of more than fifty meters, and completely exposed the indescribable objects hidden under the darkness, allowing everyone to see her in its entirety.

It was a pitch-black being that resembled a female arachnoid drow, but her size was so staggering that the part exposed above the river alone was comparable to that of the primeval dragon, not to mention the part hidden beneath the river, and they had seen only part of it when they were blind men touching elephants.

It's just that what she has is not a mixed body, but there are patchwork marks all over her body, and countless monster bodies are embedded in its body.

For the ordinary undead, the Yang Yan explosion that was full of damage fell on its body, and the power was quite average, because the other party's size was too terrifying.

The terrifying positive energy shockwave did peel off several layers of black mist and corpses from it, but it was like an onion piled up by countless corpses, peeling off layer after layer, layer upon layer, no one knew how many layers it had, judging from the other party's situation, this attack did not hurt it at all.

Sometimes, quantity alone has an absolute advantage.

As soon as the impact of the Yang Yan Explosion passed, countless black mist poured out of the huge body, obscuring it again, and the speed of running towards the black prison reached an extreme.

"Get out of the way, everybody get out of the way." Mage Lauentetz didn't have time to cast the spell again, and flew as fast as he could, away from the terrifying monster.

The darkness that enveloped this monster was actually actively sucked into its body, just like a human inhaling, and in the next moment, it was like a porcupine, shooting a black arrow from its own body, which was purely composed of negative energy.

This kind of sharp arrow is not the same as those shot by the warriors of the deep forest valley, it is more suitable to be a siege crossbow arrow than a sharp arrow, thick and long, and the number is so terrifying, in all directions, there is the sound of black giant crossbow arrows whistling.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Don't look at the condensation of negative energy, the lethality of these giant crossbow arrows is quite terrifying, even those trees with the thickness of adult thighs can be directly broken by impact, and there are several deep forest valley warriors who can't dodge in time, not to mention being blasted into two knots on the spot, and the soul consciousness is directly impacted out of the body by negative energy, and is eroded by negative energy at a speed visible to the naked eye, and transformed into an immortal ghost on the spot.

The only thing to be thankful for is that this kind of giant crossbow arrow is not really issued mechanically, and the amount of shot is relatively large, so the overall range is not far, only less than 100 meters, and after exceeding 100 meters, those giant arrows will collapse into negative energy again, and follow the terrifying monster without a shadow, turning into the darkness around it again.

This terrifying existence has no intention of killing these deep forest valley warriors at all, its goal has been very clear from beginning to end, entering the black prison, if it weren't for the Yang Yan blast of Master Lawntetz, it was a little too painful, it is estimated that he would not even be too lazy to do it, the counterattack just now was mainly to force back the powerful mage, and those deep forest valley warriors belonged to the piggyback.

In the short time that they were forced to retreat, the other party had already taken advantage of the situation to rush into the black prison.

Whew!!

A howl that did not resemble a human voice emanated from the body of the terrifying being, and countless howls followed immediately after, reaching the deepest part of the Black Prison over and over again.

I don't know if it's really a monster responding, or if it's those howls, the echoes of the narrow spaces of the Black Prison.

The warriors of the Deep Forest Valley standing on the edge of the black prison didn't know if they really saw it, or if it was just an illusion, the black fog in the black prison was constantly surging, as if it was merging with the monster, and seemed to be responding to him.

"Prophet, what was that?" A half-elf, who was only in his early thirties from his face, instigated his Pegasus mount and flew to Lauentitz and asked.

This person is the lord of the Deep Forest Valley, Celemen Ulas, don't look at him, he looks only in his early thirties, but his actual age is only older than the average human life, because he has been the Lord of the Deep Forest Valley for more than thirty years.

The old mage Lawntex, who claimed to be omniscient, did not give an answer immediately this time, and said with a puzzled look on his face: "The other party must be an undead, but this variety, I have never heard of it, looks a bit like a corpse cancer, and a bit like a corpse demon, but whether it is the shape or the ability it has, it is not very similar." ”

"Could this be the latest tool of war developed by some powerful necromancer?" Celemen took the opportunity to speculate.

"This is the only way to explain it, but the necromancer who can create this terrifying undead war tool is definitely not an ordinary person, and I haven't heard of this kind of terrifying existence here in our valley." Rauentets frowned, and thought about the legendary necromancer he knew well, and none of them could match it.

"What kind of origin does he have to leave for now, what is the purpose of this thing entering the Black Prison? What do we do now? "That's what Celemen fears most.

This terrifying undead of unknown origin has shown the strength to conquer the city, and now it has even burrowed into the black prison where everything is unknown to them.

This is equivalent to stacking double buffs, which is definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two, and directly makes the whole situation from the disaster level to the hell disaster level.

Once it explodes, the Deep Forest Valley will bear the brunt of the blow, and the slightest mistake will be blown up to ashes, and the bones will not remain.

"This matter is beyond the scope of our own solution, and we immediately sent an early warning to the surrounding valleys and a request for help to the Elven Royal Court." Rauntetz was also the first to realize the seriousness of the situation and put forward a request for help.

Their suggestions are not unreasonable, and their decisions are not unpleasant.

But the speed of the whole situation was completely beyond their expectations.

There was a terrifying loud bang from the black prison, as if something had collapsed, and then there was a myriad of sparse sounds of water, as if countless creatures were swimming up the makeshift river below.

The old mage Rauntetz changed color, and without thinking about it, he came to the Black Prison with a spell to expand his magic expertise.

The Dawn Technique, which had greatly expanded its enveloping area, immediately tore apart the darkness that shrouded the Black Prison, revealing the situation below.

They heard it right, there were indeed a large number of creatures, which were swimming upstream, and they were extremely ferocious, a large amount of blood bloomed in the turbulent river, and the fat salmon floated up with their stomachs, and in an instant they were carried into the depths of the black prison by the turbulent river.

The creatures in the water were not hunting, but simply killing, and soon not only salmon, but all kinds of aquatic creatures soon floated up.

"Their scars are not right, not all of them are gnawing marks, but also stab scars from weapons, and the other party is not purely a beast, but a creature that can use weapons." At a glance, Celemon got enough information from the corpses of those aquatic creatures, "Shoot the arrows, release the arrows, release the arrows." ”

But this information alone is not enough, because there are too many possibilities, both may be aquatic intelligent creatures, may also be amphibious intelligent creatures, and may be land creatures that are good at swimming, given that it was an undead who got into it earlier, it is possible that the other party has summoned a bunch of undead who can swim.

The easiest way to do this is to kill one and have it float up to identify him.

Hundreds of sharp arrows were shot out of the dense forest on both sides of the river, without the need for Thalemon orders.

Their archery skills were not inaccurate, the arrows were all aimed, the waves were undulating, but the results were zero, and most of the damage of the arrows was blocked by the river.

This is the embarrassment of land-based shooting weapons against creatures in the water, and the weak, invisible currents of water are the best shields, and those creatures in the water are very good at taking advantage of this.

But not only do they have good marksmen, they also have mages, a powerful, experienced mage who quickly comes up with brilliant countermeasures.

With a spell smashed down, a section of the river that was twenty meters long and wide, and even the creatures in the water belt floated up together and fell into the air.

Seven Rings Spell Anti-Gravity.

Allows all creatures in the enveloped area to be in an anti-gravity state.

After only a few seconds of falling, the creatures in the water are basically disconnected from the water, exposing these hidden underwater killers.

These monsters have a strong body very similar to that of a dwarf, covered in dense scales the size of a gold coin, and both legs and hands are extremely thick, but they are shorter and smaller, but the feet are very different from human structures, not huge soles, but huge flippers like amphibians like frogs.

But the most distinctive thing is their heads, which are huge, full of shark-like sharp teeth, black and yellow eyes are naturally located on both sides of the head, if you see things in the water, they naturally have superiority, but when they get to the land, they will become cross-eyed, unconsciously giving people a stupid feeling, but if anyone believes in this feeling, then he is usually not far from death, because this is a highly intelligent amphibious aquatic monster, named Kou Tao Fish Man.
