331 Mountains

To the south from the Dragon's Coast is a majestic mountain range, and the terrain of central Faeron rises abruptly and rapidly decreases in this generation, presenting a rolling terrain, and on this map, some of the most majestic mountains in the whole continent are scattered, and the Giant Run Mountain Range is only one of the more inconspicuous ones.

Although the mountains are not very strong, there are still very few adventurers who will enter this place - compared to other mountains, there are no lone dragons, no human villages and towns that are frequently infested by aliens, and more importantly, there is no treasure worth venturing into.

Of course, there may be treasure, but when the news of the treasure is not spreading, few adventurers are willing to risk fighting the rock giants that are all over the mountain to enter the mountains.

It is rumored that there were ancient giants who created a glorious civilization here in the barbarian era, and the megalithic buildings scattered on the mountain roads and the tall stone halls that appeared sporadically left the solemnity of the ancient times, but looking at the giant tribes scattered in the ridges today, their barbaric style makes it difficult for outsiders to associate them with these glorious ancient civilizations.

Hordes of giants and wild ridges block the view of outsiders, so many of the secrets of the mountains are still hidden deep underground, not just a village in a dark region.

Of course, it also includes the weapons of destruction buried in the ancient empire.

"Stop. When Beria Mayr walked unhurriedly into the depths of the mountains, between a tribe of golems, two masked men emerged: "This is not the place where outsiders should come. ”

Beria looked at the two guys who suddenly came out, and his arrogant gaze swept over the clothes on the two of them, many of the places that should have been tied tightly with fine hemp rope were replaced by simple vines, and the fabrics and cuts were even more crude, as if they were not from the hands of tailors in civilized society, and the vigilance on the faces of the two and the savage aura that emanated from their bodies all the time also seemed to reveal some information:

The two of them were already familiar with life in the wilderness, and the stone giants around them were also standing around them, obviously having a close relationship with them.

"I never thought there would be a horde of savages in the Giants Run Mountains. Beria turned his head, frowned, and said to the woman in yellow beside him in an inquiring tone: "Looking at the intimacy between them and the stone giant, is it the legendary grave keeper?"

The woman shook her head, but when she heard Beria's question, two people in the stone giant crowd reacted, one of them raised the wooden staff in his hand and pointed at Beria and his party: "Tomb keepers, you are those tomb robbers from the underground?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Beria's mouth.

The reaction of the two masked men confirmed the thoughts in her heart, and the two apostles of the deep imasca behind her also lifted their spirits.

"I'm not from underground, they are. Facing the questioning of the two masked men, Beria raised his hand slightly: "Unfortunately, I am from heaven, and I advise you to tell me the way to the ruins if you don't want to be tortured." ”

Her gaze was indifferent, her tone was understated, and the information captured by the detection spell told her that these two people did not possess any great abilities, and it was not difficult to speak such words.

"It's the intruder, and the elders must be repaid. The two masked men exchanged a glance and conveyed a message to the stone giant next to them, and then they quickly ran towards the bare stone forest deep in the mountains.

This group of menacing golems did not cause much trouble for Belial, just a small box that brought endless dark power caused a large number of golems' bodies to be wiped out, and the remaining few remnants of the army were defeated, and they could not stop the invaders' invasion.

Although Golem's attack power is strong, in this kind of wilderness, its thick body and clumsy movements make it difficult for them to catch up with their targets that are not fighting. Coming for the sake of the ruins, Beria certainly wouldn't go toe-to-toe with these hard stones, so with a flash of light, the attack of these stone men came to naught.

And the two grave keepers didn't run away for long, and soon Beria was in front of them, but she didn't be happy for long, her men rushed up, and the two grave keepers fell to the ground in response, and their clothes and masks were in a ball on the ground, as if the ** in them had turned into smoke and dispersed.

This made Beria Meil squint her eyelids, secretly annoyed, this kind of stand-in technique was not a high-level trick, but it had succeeded in fooling her.

"It's a long run. The female Apostle Shen Imasca examined the marks on her clothes and got up and frowned.

"Oh, it looks like these guys are hiding deeply. Beria's eyebrows furrowed: "You really don't know the specific passage of the ruins?"

Her tone was full of suspicion, she knew the purpose of the goddess who asked her to come here, although the existence of the ancient evil was the greatest threat to Toriel, but this kind of power that broke through the boundaries of the source sea and was difficult for even the gods to restrict, if it was used in the right way, it could achieve some shady purposes.

For example, the great conspiracy that the Lady of the Night has spent centuries weaving will surely shake the entire multiverse once it is achieved.

And all of these require conditions, whether it is the corpse of Kelburn's black rod, or the remains of an ancient evil thing, or the Yin Ghost City that has been hidden in the shadow plane for thousands of years, it is one of the many conditions.

As a result, they had to work with the people of the Deep Imasca, and for this reason, Shar promised to help the ancient remnants who hid in the depths of the dark region and relied on artificial light sources to maintain their light revive their homeland, but Beria felt that these creatures were unreliable after contacting them personally.

The Apostles led her into the Giant's Running Mountains and told her that they didn't know the exact location of the ruins, all of which gave Beria a feeling of being tricked.

Of course, she didn't believe this, and the result of wandering aimlessly into the depths of the mountains was to constantly bump into the Golem settlement, and after hitting the third, the legendary grave keepers had already appeared, but the doubts in Beria's heart were getting deeper and deeper.

This was the first time she had asked, and the previous results had been non-commentable, which had made her anger accumulate again and again, and by now, the annoyance and impatience in her words had reached the point where the two deep Imaska apostles could clearly hear it.

The two apostles swallowed a mouthful of saliva, of course they knew that this woman was a crazy and impatient fellow, and through the tone of Belia's voice, they knew that her patience had reached the limit.

So they decided to reveal a little bit of information:

"Our Prophet said that he would appear in person when we were close enough to the ruins. ”

Hearing this, the expression of consternation briefly froze on Beria's face:

"Your prophet?"

The apostle nodded solemnly, and Beria's expression immediately sank.

Of course he knew the prophet of the deep Imaska, the origin of this old guy has long been unverifiable, even the natives of the deep Imaska don't know it clearly, and the power is even more amazing, at least with the strength of the Lady of the Night's subordinates, he is not sure to deal with this mysterious old guy in the deep Imaska.

If this old guy appeared in this place, it might cause many consequences that she did not want to see.

At least Belia knew that she would not be the match for that man, and that the leadership of the Quest for Ruins was still in her hands, and if the Prophet showed up, of course the situation would change that she was unwilling to accept.

These cunning dark region rats, she cursed secretly.

If the action is in her hands, of course she can do some small actions in her favor, you know, in addition to the corpses of ancient evil things, there are many things that the Night Lady is interested in in the ruins of the ancient empire, these antiquities hidden under the arcane locks contain many secrets that the gods do not know, if the prophet of the deep imasca appears, it will undoubtedly be much more difficult to get these things.

This, of course, displeased Beria.

"Lord Mayil, His Majesty Shar wishes to borrow Pendrim's body, but we must ensure that this thing is born under our control, it is an ancient evil. The apostle, a woman surnamed Shen Imasca named Renas, sensed the change in Beria's mood and tried to soothe her displeasure with words: "The slightest negligence can have fatal consequences, and only the Prophet can remove it safely and intact." ”

"Oh?" Beria raised an eyebrow, it was a very reasonable explanation, the ancient evil was not something that could be moved around, so it made sense that the prophet of the deep Imaska was so cautious.

And she knew that if it weren't for her insistence, these deep imasca wouldn't have fought Pendrim's idea, they wanted to restore the country, but they didn't want to destroy the world—at least not yet.

"In addition, there are some very powerful figures among the grave keepers, at least the Prophet cannot tell if there will be such powerful figures in this ruin. Renas continued to explain, and the male apostle next to her, Drintner, added: "A relic like this that seals the ancient evil will inevitably have a very powerful tomb keeper. ”

"That's it. Beria's eyebrows furrowed, and her slender fingers pinched her chin, as if she had a premonition.

This trip will never be easy.

But she has no choice now.

The psyker walked deeper into the mountains, and as she went, she did not forget to pay attention to the two deep imasca, for she suddenly noticed that these underground fools she had previously thought could be rounded and flattened seemed to have something else in mind.

The two apostles from the underground stared at Beria's back, and then looked at each other, their eyes meaningful.

......" they are gone. "In the distant rocky pile, two men who were very secretive took off their masks and revealed two faces belonging to human male surnames, one slightly older, about thirty or forty years old, and the other younger with childish faces, and they looked at each other with deep worry in their eyes.

"Uncle, they really have bad intentions towards the ruins. The young man spoke, "Our stone friends can't stop them." ”

"It's not something we can fix anymore. The elder frowned deeply and stood up from behind the rock: "The elder must be informed immediately, this time the intruder is too powerful. ”

"Hmm. The young man nodded, still turning his gaze to the place where the battle had just broken out, the strength of the intruder frightened him, he had not seen such a powerful invader in the ten years he had grown up.

But what happened next told him that it wasn't officially started yet.

The middle-aged man seemed to sense something, and pressed his nephew into the crack in the stone, under the effect of the druid's spell, the two of them seemed to merge with the mountain stone, accompanied by a fishy wind, a scream that went straight to the soul almost made the two of them faint together, they turned their eyes to the sky where the sound came from in shock, a huge red dragon hovered in the place where the battle had just taken place, and above the red dragon, there was a figure that could not be seen clearly.

But the giant red dragon alone attracted the attention of both the uncle and nephew—the dragon's half body was rigid and withered, its flesh wrinkled as if it had been dried, and the stench of the wind carried a rotting corpse.

The air-dried flesh at the dragon's eye has exposed the entire eye socket, and there are no eyeballs in it, replaced by two eerie phosphorus fires.

The two grave keepers who had lived in the wilderness for a long time and had not come into contact with human society had never seen an undead dragon of this form, and the necromantic dragon, which was obviously much more terrifying than the zombie dragon, made them stiff - just the fact that their hiding place was swept by those two phosphorus fires made them tremble as if they felt death.

Fortunately, the distance between the battlefield and the hiding place of the two was still farther, and the target of the undead dragon was obviously not them, and after inspecting the place where the battle broke out for a while, the half-dried red dragon turned and went straight into the sky, and then the uncle and nephew noticed that the person sitting behind the necromantic dragon was too far away, and it looked vaguely and thin, and it looked like a skeleton.

It took a long time for the dragon to lower the terror it brought to the uncle and nephew to the point where it did not affect their calm thinking, and they looked at each other for a moment, and at the same time saw the fear in each other's eyes.

There can be no delay, and the settlement must be returned immediately.

They galloped through the deep forest until they reached the depths of a hidden cavern, where a hidden secret door was located, and in the small room behind the secret door, there was an elaborate teleportation array.

This portal leads to the gravekeeper's village.

These long-time guardians of the Giant's Running Mountains have set up countless such passages in the mountains so that they can travel through the mountains as fast as possible.

The two quickly activated the teleportation array, and a flashing portal appeared in front of them, and they passed through the portal, only to find that the scenery outside the portal seemed to be slightly different from before.

A black mist formed by a mist blocked the road to the village, which was a protection set up to prevent outsiders from accidentally breaking in. In normal times, the fog was usually empty before, but now, a stranger in a black robe has his back to them, observing the black mist.

"Who are you?" the uncle and nephew immediately became vigilant.

The stranger turned his head, but it was a kind-looking young man, and his eyelids jumped slightly when he saw the two uncles and nephews who suddenly appeared.
