"Safe. ”

After looking around the room he was in, Gell made a preliminary judgment.

As they had seen from the outside, it was a fairly spacious rotunda, with a door on each side of the rotunda, and some strange and twisted patterns on the doors, the colors of which were black, red, green, and yellow.

"All glory has a beginning - Farraken Einarel. ”

As Gehr surveyed her surroundings, Dilansina crouched down in front of the altar in the same style as the previous room, and read out a row of obvious inscriptions.

"Is there a way to go back?" According to the previous custom, Gehr was the first to consider the question of the way out.

It's not that Gell wants to back down, and if he wants to gain something, he must pay accordingly, which he knows very well. And he also understands that in this wizard-dominated world, if you want to improve, you have to face all kinds of different situations, and if you can be scared by anything, it is better to stay in a safe place and be a good baby, don't come out and hang around, but in that case, the achievement of a lifetime will be like this.

But bravery is not the same as recklessness, and we should not hesitate to consider the worst perspective of what we are facing, so as to think about how to deal with it in advance. Gehr was fully prepared for this adventure, and with the Wind Concealment Technique that could hide energy fluctuations and aura, he was confident that he would be able to dodge most of the threats, and now as long as there was no problem with the back road, then all his worries were solved.

In response to Gehr's question, Dilansina gave him a satisfactory answer: "Yes, this exit is not the same as the opening of the entrance. There's no need for a cooldown, just ......"

Dilansina put her right hand on a small disc on the altar. A moment later, a drop of crystal blood dripped from her middle finger. It landed on the disc and shattered into countless pieces.

"We don't have the drive to materialize our spirits like a wizard, so we can only mix our own mental fluctuations and energy with the blood as a medium, so that we can temporarily open the passage back......"

With Dilansina's movements and words, the same entrance appeared on the altar again as when they came: "However, it can only last for a few seconds, but it is enough for individuals. The words ended, and after a short time, the entrance began to flicker again, and soon dissipated. It just confirms Dilansina's words.

"That's no problem. Gehr noted the frequency of the fluctuations that opened the exit, and then shifted his gaze to the four surrounding doors, "Which way to go next?"

Dilansina stood up, observed the symbol on the lower door, and quickly gave the corresponding answer: "Yellow represents earth energy, green represents plant energy, red represents fire, and black represents necromantic shadow, let's go on the black side." ”

"Then hurry up. Gehr nodded. Agreeing to the suggestion of this new companion, he walked directly to the door with a black pattern.

Behind the door is darkness, and once inside, it gives the illusion of entering an infinite dark space.

Gehr felt something was wrong, and the darkness in front of him was impossible to see. With the light of the room behind him, his eyesight couldn't even penetrate the darkness here.

"Scaravra ......"

A soft chant sounded beside Gehr, it was Dilansina. With the resulting fluctuations of energy, Gehr judged that this should be a model for the construction of some lighting spell.

It only ended with Dilansina's chanting and energy fluctuations. Gehr didn't see a glimmer of light come from it.

"Hell, it's spell darkness!" Gehr heard Dilansina's somewhat angry voice.

Gehr took out a small improvised torch pinned to his waist and lit it with his own senses, but the light of the torch was completely useless in such darkness.

Without hesitation, Gehr retreated, and as soon as he returned to the room, the torch in his hand radiated the unique brightness of fire in all directions, as if there was an invisible mouth in the passage behind the door that had swallowed all the light it emitted.

Dilansina also immediately retreated, looked at the torch that was still burning in Gehr's hand, and her face was not very good: "The situation is not good, this is a devouring mist created by spells, which can devour light and even spell energy......"

"Is there any harm in this fog?" asked Geer.

"It can also speed up the physical and mental consumption of creatures staying inside, interfere with people's senses, and it will not have any effect in a short time, but it is difficult to say after a long time, after all, this spell is not lethal, and the main use is that it is often used by wizards as a buffer medium to isolate two different environments. But this also has a benefit, the kind of guards such as the gargoyle warriors we encounter outside will not appear, that kind of structure cannot survive in this concentration of devouring mist, only animals can, and the time of existence of this ruin can be used as a thousand years, although the building itself and the items inside can still remain intact due to the effect of spells, but no matter how strong the animal is, it should not be able to withstand that long. ”

Gell didn't continue to ask, but walked over to the other three doors and opened them one by one.

Sure enough, the passage behind the other three doors was also dark.

"It's easy to do without an enemy. Gehr returned to the passage behind the black rune gate, "Be careful as we move forward. ”

"Well, go slower, there may be pitfalls. "Dilansina and Gehr made the same choice.

The two of them walked back into the dark passage, Gel in front and Dilansina behind, carefully groping their way through the passage.

The corridor stretched forward in the darkness, and Gehr carefully walked through the darkness, using his senses to capture the sounds and air movements around him—fortunately, the devouring mist, while interfering with both modes of perception, was not yet fully absorbed like light and energy. In Gehr's perception, the darkness was like a layer of gauze that enveloped his senses, allowing him to perceive a certain range of situations, but not too real.

The boundless silence surrounded the two of them, as if with the breath of death, flickering and approaching with the sound of their footsteps. It's inscrutable.

Devouring the mist did little harm to the human body, but its negative effects were soon manifested - after more than ten minutes of travel. Gehr visibly felt himself gasping for breath, and from time to time there was a heavy gasp behind him that Dilansina wanted to suppress but from time to time. And the module that monitors the changes in his physical condition is constantly refreshing his physical condition, showing that his physical strength and mental flow are far faster than normal, as if he is in a fierce battle.

As Dilansina said, this negative state is still within the range, but if the passage is long enough and there are enemies waiting for them on the other end, then the situation is not very good.

Gehr was a little wary of the situation he might face, but he didn't act in the slightest, and continued to move cautiously according to his fixed frequency. So as not to rush into the danger of directly hitting some trap or the like.

Fortunately, the trap that posed the greatest threat to them in this environment never appeared, and the reason why this defense was not set up soon appeared in front of them - Gehr found a small hard object like a dirt slope in front of him.

"It should be more than five meters long, three meters high, and it should be a huge creature when it is alive. ”

Gehr felt around the pile of bones in front of him, and sketched out in his mind what the creature looked like when it was alive - it should have been a four-legged predator - and the sharp teeth and sharp claws did not look like a grazing animal.

"What a long horn, this should be the original caretaker here. Dillansina who had followed, also looked at the remains of this mysterious creature that she must not have been easy to mess with in her life.

"It seems like luck, let's leave this skeleton alone, let's get out of this passage first. Gell bypassed the pile of bones. Keep moving forward.

"I thought so too. ”

The two of them continued on, but at this point the ruin's preferential treatment seemed to be over, and the ground under their feet suddenly sank as Gehr walked normally. There was a soft click.

For a moment, a series of soft clicking sounds sounded continuously, and then suddenly the entire space fell silent.

Rumble!

A moment later. Gehr heard a loud bang in the distance behind him, like something heavy hitting the floor of the passage. There was a strong tremor even under his feet, and the tremors became louder and louder. Quickly approached the two.

"Run, it's a rolling stone!" Gehr shouted, and immediately rang out.

In fact, without being reminded by Gehr, Dilansina was aware of what was happening, and the rumbling behind her and the shaking that was getting closer and closer to the two of them spoke for itself.

The two of them ran forward quickly, but soon Dilansina's speed slowed down noticeably - the time spent in the devouring mist had already consumed too much physical strength, and although her physical fitness was far stronger than the average person, it was still far from Gehr, who was a warrior in her own right, and Gehr was still able to maintain a high-speed sprint, and her legs were already visibly weak.

"Help...... I ......" Dilansina's voice was already staccato and her lungs twitching hot, making it difficult for each word to leave her mouth.

Sensing Dilansina's predicament, Gell stopped without hesitation, rushed back to her side, grabbed her by the shoulders, and dragged her forward.

The gratefulness in Dilansina's eyes - of course Gell couldn't see it, and she desperately moved her heavier and heavier legs to the rhythm of Gell in order to survive, and at the same time repaid Gell for his help in another way.

"Kakatakki ......" With the phrase in Dilansina's mouth, the studs on her earlobes flashed with silver light, and they burst out with energy fluctuations that were not afraid of devouring mist, and formed a semi-illusory armor with silver glittering on the surface of the two of them.

Poof!

As they ran, a muffled sound sounded around them, an attack from the mechanical mechanism that had been triggered later, but both of them were in vain in the face of the shield activated by Dilansina.

But the shield is also getting weaker and weaker with the constant attacks, and with the counterattack of the devouring mist, it has become more and more dim, as if it will dissipate in the next moment.

It was at this moment that Gehr finally saw a light appear in front of him...... (To be continued......)
