Section 131 Swing Trail

"Of course...... Well, there are always many ways to tell a story. Regis smiled a little awkwardly.

"What are you talking about, two wizards?"

Just then, a timid voice interjected.

Lance looked back and saw that it was Gian, the boy who was so unlucky that he was targeted by the Scarlet Scorpion - or someone else, and was almost killed by Regis as a spy.

For wizards, a mortal life is nothing compared to a potential threat. If it weren't for Lance's appearance, I'm afraid the unlucky ghost would have died at the hands of Regis.

But at this time, he still had the courage to come up and talk to Regis, which surprised Lance.

"Little sheep, is your fear of heights cured?" Regis glanced at Gian and said disdainfully, "We are talking about the Valley of God's Punishment." ”

"The Valley of Divine Punishment?" Ji'an's eyes lit up, "Actually, my father and I told some stories about the Valley of Divine Punishment......

"Stop, we're not interested in listening. ”

Regis caught a glimpse of Lance's smile in the afterglow, and immediately interrupted Gian with some impatience.

The latter cowered cowardly: "Then I'd better go shopping elsewhere." ”

Lance looked at his departing back and suddenly sensed something was wrong.

"How did you rule out Gian's suspicion?" Lance asked, a little curiously, "although his testimony seems to be flawless, it is also possible that he brought the scorpion in on his own initiative." ”

The bearded man smiled and said, "If there is something wrong with this little sheep, then you are Mr. Lance." I'm afraid I can't escape suspicion. What's more, what does this have to do with me? I've been dismissed, I don't know what the boss thinks, anyway, their attitude is obvious. ”

"The only thing we can do is to hide in the cabin and spend those two and a half difficult days!"

"Don't look at me with such surprise, the valley of punishment is a very difficult way to walk, and there is a narrow and winding path like the [Roundabout Trail], and the float will have to reduce its speed if it wants to pass through it - otherwise it will easily hit the mountain wall. So two and a half days is the minimum time. ”

"If there's a storm. It could be a little later!"

......

As twilight falls, the sun sets in the west, leaving the earth with a remnant of its rays.

And the dense shadows ahead are getting closer.

All the floatboats lined up in a long line. Under the coordinated command of the captains of the ship. Begin to slowly drive into the Valley of Divine Punishment.

"Raise the shield!"

"Quick!, all passengers leave deck. Non-wizard staff are also in the cabin!"

Orders were quickly issued, and the air currents in the sky began to grow frantic as passengers and crew on the float retreated in an orderly manner. Sails were lowered - near the Valley of Divine Punishment. The float has to find a way to slow down, although it has a protective shield, but if the sails keep rising, then the strong air currents will constantly push the float boat towards the ruined abyss.

On this flight Lance, all the floatboats belonged to a company called the Pop Chamber of Commerce, which was an old chamber of commerce, and the captains had undergone many trainings and had long-term driving experience. Facing the Heavenly Trench of the Valley of Divine Punishment, they did not rush into it, nor did they care about the little time before the sun set.

From the cabin window, Lance observed that the group of floats had been delayed for a full two hours north of the First Mountain Range.

The captains were communicating with each other on communication equipment, and Regis on the side muttered a little: "It's strange, generally speaking, it only takes half an hour to assemble the float and give orders, what are they waiting for?"

Lance frowned, and he shook his head at the mountains in the distance, feeling an indescribable premonition in his heart.

"If only old Miller were here, his senses must have sensed something. ”

He sat there a little distraught, and it took him a long time to calm himself down.

It just so happened that at this time, it seemed that because of the darkness of the night, the floatship that was in first place finally began to turn around.

It was covered in two layers of translucent film, the first being the same air filter that Lance had seen on deck before, and the second being a real witchcraft shield. Although they are both translucent, the intensity of the two is incomparable. It is said that this protective shield can resist the attack of third-order monsters, which is also where the confidence of the Pop Chamber of Commerce lies.

In addition to the raised shield, the number of headlights per floatboat has also increased. From two to six, a triple, and the number of taillights has also increased.

According to Regis, this is because the interior of the Valley of Divine Punishment is too tortuous, and if you are not careful, you are prone to collisions.

"There was once a team that stopped because the first ship was attacked by a monster on the way. In fact, the monster was not terrifying, and the captain of the first ship stopped only to fight back. But he never expected that his action would cause even greater disaster. Because the tail lights were not obvious enough and the signal was not given in advance, the second float boat did not even have a chance to slow down after turning a corner, and crashed into it directly...... Then the third and the fourth, and it was not until the captain of the seventh ship that he noticed that something was wrong in front and stopped early - but he made the same mistake: after all, there were usually a dozen ships in the fleet, and the people behind did not realize that something was wrong in front of them, so they ...... Bang Bang Bang!"

Regis drank wine and told these stories: "All the ships crashed together, and the middle one was even flattened, some fell against the stone wall, and some simply disintegrated in the air......"

"Later, all the fleets learned to behave. In order to resist arcane interference, the Pop Chamber of Commerce specially purchased communication equipment from the hands of hateful gnomes. This thing can overcome the arcane interference of the wind elemental fluctuations in the sky, so as to achieve the effect of communication. By the way, although the Valley of Divine Punishment is not in the turbulent area, it is the world of wind spell factors, so it is best not to use spells lightly except for real wind wizards. ”

Only then did Lance understand why the wizards had to fly over the First Mountain Range in a floatboat instead of flying directly over on their own magic carpet.

Even in the Valley of Divine Punishment, where there is no turbulence, it is full of crises!

......

Time passed minute by minute, and just as Lance was dozing off in boredom, the eighth floatship he was in finally turned around, and slowly sailed into the Valley of Divine Punishment after the shadow of the seventh.

Since it was night, it was pitch black except for the place where the lights were shining, and nothing could be seen.

However, even so, when the floatboat turned, Lance could see the rugged rocks and mountain walls on both sides of the valley under the effect of searchlights.

What's even more creepy is that on these mountain walls, there are actually "sticking" to a dried corpse!

"Hehe, do you see that. The bearded man couldn't help but laugh and said, "When I saw it for the first time, I was almost frightened." ”

"Where did these bodies come from, and why are they here?"

Lance couldn't help but ask.

The bearded man couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Since you already know that it's all stories, why do you still ask me? If you want to be more serious, I can only tell you - no one knows." The stories you've heard are just the stuff of the human imagination. ”

The float boat sailed slowly in the quiet of the night.

Lance's gaze calmed from initial shock.

As the beard said, if you see too much, you will naturally get used to it.

This corpse is in a strange posture attached to the stone wall, sparse in some places, and densely packed in other places. It was as if their bodies had become one with the stone wall. In this unique terrain, Lance had the opportunity to observe them up close.

Under the wind and sun, all the dried corpses were visibly weathered, but not completely erased - Lance guessed that most of this had something to do with the fact that the corpses had merged with the mountain wall.

The combination of stone and corpse, cold and cold, strange and indifferent, makes people feel uneasy from the depths of their souls.

As a wizard, Lance was very curious, but after observing it for a while, he gradually felt a little bored.

There was nothing wrong or unusual about these corpses, they were just ordinary bones, but they had been melted into the stone.

Although separated by the protective shield and the warehouse, Lance's spiritual power can still detect some of them, and the results are obvious, these bones themselves or the mountain wall behind them have no magic power.

However, the aura of the wind spell factor is really very strong, and if there is a real wind wizard on the ship, then for him, this place is really a good place to practice.

So in the night, the dim lights flickered, and the floatboats slowly zigzagged forward in the Valley of Divine Punishment.

And what Lance had a hunch of what seemed to be going to happen, there was no sign at all.

A whole day has passed, not to mention the crimson scorpion, even if it is an ordinary small monster, it has not been encountered.

In Regis's words, "It's just a stroke of luck!"

Since there was nothing to do, Lance stopped thinking and simply began to do some light meditation in the cabin.

On the afternoon of the second day of entering the Valley of Divine Punishment, the speed of the floatship slowed down by a third again.

The passage ahead began to become more curved, and Lance even saw a deep tunnel entrance!

"It was the [Roundabout Trail], and we had to go around the belly of the First Mountain Range in a full circle to reach the southern area. ”

Regis saw Lance's confusion and lazily explained.

As soon as his words fell, the light in the vicinity suddenly dimmed. (To be continued......)
