Section 90 Harpy (Ninth Shift!)
The dark arched door opened silently, revealing a dark passage to the trio.
Anzula Trail.
"Let's go!" Trelet was a little excited, and stepped into the trail first.
Lance and Miller Sr. immediately followed.
Inside the arched door, there is a narrow path. The path could only allow a maximum of two people to pass side by side, and every five or six feet above it was inlaid with rough pearls of the night.
As soon as the three entered the arched door, the latter closed automatically.
Following the road illuminated by the Night Pearl, the three of them went all the way forward.
Soon, the smooth path came to an end.
A cliff appeared in front of it, and the Night Pearl quietly disappeared when it arrived.
A grand suspension bridge, stretching far from the dark distance, was set up in front of them.
"This is the bridge between heaven and earth. Trilaite said with some excitement: "We are not looking for the wrong way. The first hurdle on the Anjura Trail is that you have to cross the intersection of the three planes of Creeland, the Abyss, and the Verdant Wonderland. The bridge between heaven and earth is the only way to Guò crossing. ”
......
The Bridge between Heaven and Earth was built when the Drews first arrived on the Creeland plane.
At that time, they had not planted the Dryads outside, and had to access the Verdant Wonderland and Creeland through the regular paths of Guò.
The suspension bridge, said to be thousands of feet long, is built on the Creeland plane at one end and into the depths of the verdant wonderland at the other.
In other words, just cross this bridge between heaven and earth. They have arrived in the verdant wonderland.
Of course, arriving in the verdant wonderland doesn't mean it's safe.
In fact, at least two-thirds of the dangers on the Anjura Trail come from the emerald wonderland itself.
What's more, it is not so easy to cross the bridge between heaven and earth.
First of all, this bridge was used by the Drews many years ago to enter and exit the verdant fairyland, and it has not been repaired for a long time. At this time, the suspension bridge displayed in front of them was actually in a semi-abandoned state. The three of them walked on it, and maybe one of them would break, and then they would fall. It's not as simple as a fall.
Secondly. Although the bridge is used to connect Creeland and the verdant fairyland, due to the proximity of the abyssal plane, there are often abyssal creatures who break into this world under the guidance of arcane interference. Lance and the others may face some demonic attacks at any time.
But to their relief. The Drews took this into account. So when the bridge between heaven and earth was being built. They put up a protective barrier on the perimeter. This barrier is essentially a wizarding circle against arcane interference, and the more powerful the demon, the less able it is to enter the area near the bridge of heaven and earth.
There are only a few little demons with low strength. to be able to sneak in like a fish that has slipped through the net.
According to Trillette's calculations, the barrier has at least three hundred years to live, so there should be no problem at the moment. In this way, Lance and the others have a much greater grasp of the bridge between heaven and earth.
Third, the bridge between heaven and earth is not empty.
After the Drews abandoned the Anzura Trail, they placed some vicious guards on the bridge of heaven and earth to prevent others from entering the verdant fairyland through the guò path.
The ancestors of these guards were subjugated by the Drews, and their descendants were exiled here, and they were responsible for guarding the bridge between heaven and earth for generations, and they were also a batch of tricky goods.
"These three difficulties alone are enough for many wizards to dispel the greed in their hearts. ”
Old Miller whispered: "Once you enter the bridge, there is no way to turn back, you may encounter a crisis at any time, if you regret it, it is still too late." ”
Treette said firmly, "There's no way I'm going to retreat. ”
With that, he was the first to set foot on the suspension bridge.
With a snap, a corner of a plank on the edge of the suspension bridge suddenly shattered and fell.
The three of them were all startled, and Trelet subconsciously grabbed the rope on the side and began to walk forward cautiously.
Lance smiled slightly: "No matter what danger I encounter, at least I'm sure I can get out of it, right?"
Old Miller nodded, and the two quickly followed.
The figures of the three staggering forwards quickly disappeared into the darkness.
......
"Comparing themselves to 'heaven' and Creeland as 'earth', these Drews are arrogant enough. ”
In the darkness, Lance pulled the rope in one hand and held a candle in the other, and he had no words to say.
When walking in this pure darkness, it is easy to feel dazed or anxious. If you don't speak, you can even lose yourself in the dark.
Because this is the junction of the planes, the arcane interference is extremely strong, so it is equivalent to half of the forbidden magic field, although they can control their own magic power, but they can't use spells.
Even the lighting has lost its effect here, and the only thing that can shine is the most primitive candle or torch.
Trelet at the front couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "That's what I hate about them." ”
"They profess to be people of God, from the heavenly realm, and are different from the medium-intelligent beings who were born and raised in Kreeland natively. ”
"But for all their pride, hadn't they compromised under the onslaught of the Eastern Council, and if it weren't for the fact that the home of the Verdant Wonderland was so conducive to the Drews to use their abilities, this land would have been the territory of the Eastern Council decades ago. ”
Lance cautiously rounded a broken plank in front of him before he spoke, "Oh, there was a war between the Eastern Council and the Verdant Wonderland?"
"Where can there be peace without war?" said Old Miller with a sneer: "The Eastern Council has been eyeing the fruits of the Drew from the beginning, and although we can only enter the verdant fairyland through the Guò Anzula Trail, the resources and power that can be used by a behemoth like the Eastern Council are completely different." ”
"At that time, they used the legendary item, the plane ladder, to directly tear the plane barrier between Creeland and the emerald fairyland, and went to war brazenly. It's just that they didn't expect that the Drews would be so powerful. The battle between the two sides was fierce, and the Eastern Council had fought a crushing victory to exterminate the Drews. Later, it was estimated that because of the demons, they had to draw troops and finally reach a reconciliation with the Drews. The premise is that the Drus sell half of their Anzula fruit to the Eastern Council at a high price each year - of course, in order to improve the living standards of the Drus, the Eastern Council will often sell important resources such as iron, salt, and wheat to the Drus. This kind of transaction seems to be a win-win situation, but if you think about it, wouldn't the magic stones they had traded to the Drews come full circle and come back?"
In the end, the two sides negotiated and compromised. After all, they were almost wiped out at that time, and the people in the Eastern Council were also clever enough to invent this method, which is also called a deal. It's essentially exploitation. ”
Lance is silent, this method of the Eastern Council is indeed very cunning.
The magic stone was returned to the Eastern Council after a circle in the hands of the Drews, who paid for the mysterious Wisdom Tree fruit, only to receive only a batch of mortal goods.
This kind of trade rules were similarly reflected among some countries in previous lives.
Lance knows that fair trade is based on equal strength, and if there is no equal strength between the two sides, then in most cases, trade will develop into exploitation.
"But then again, the Drews aren't a good thing either. Miller Sr. said, "Trelett's grandfather was banished from the Verdant Wonderland simply because he fell in love with a human woman, and they even killed him, saying that he had defiled the blood of the Drews." What a race of ignorance. ”
"Look, this race is destined to not survive in this world, and when the Eastern Council finishes recuperating and freeing up its hands, it is absolutely necessary to completely hold this important resource in its hands......"
In the chat between the three of them, unconsciously, they had already walked most of the distance of the bridge between heaven and earth.
It's also their luck that they haven't encountered any demons along the way.
The bridge itself was much stronger than the three of them had imagined, and except for some corners that had obvious aging, the rest of the place was still strong.
The three of them walked forward a little further, and in the darkness in the distance, a little blue light suddenly appeared.
"Pinch off the candles, they shouldn't be able to see us in this position. ”
Old Miller said lightly.
The three of them immediately extinguished the candles in their hands and gradually approached those blue points of light.
"What are these?" asked Lance, curious.
"The guardians of the bridge between heaven and earth, and the slaves of the Drews, they were exiled here forever, guarding this place. As long as we can pass this hurdle, we will be able to reach the verdant fairyland. ”
Trelet explained.
The three of them were silent, slowing down, and moving forward in the darkness.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and soon, those blue points of light seemed to sense something, and suddenly moved wildly.
"Looks like they've found out. It's a pity, I thought these monsters would become sluggish during the exile, but I didn't expect their sense of smell to be so sensitive. ”
In the darkness, old Miller spat under the drawbridge, and then cleared his throat:
"Leave these monsters to me. ”
Lance and Triette were silent, and stepped back a little.
Those blue points of light approached frantically, almost all over the sky. Soon, Lance will be able to see the monsters clearly with his weak night vision.
It is a monster that seems to have been grafted into a human female and an avian creature, with the upper body having the appearance of a naked human female and the lower body with sharp eagle talons and wings.
Lance recognized this monster.
Harpy, a typical second-order monster scattered throughout the multiverse.
This monster has two powerful abilities, the first being howling.
The second ability is petrification. (To be continued......)
