In the end, Cross decided to go to the stronghold of endless reincarnation with Nia first, because, according to the information revealed by Nia, there was only one person in that stronghold, and he was still an old man. Therefore, even if something abnormal happened, Cross could barely deal with it, and even considered a preemptive strategy.

However, this was all planned after leaving the Dusk Mountains. Cross and the others are still in the mountains.

Nia was familiar with the route, but her speed and pace were so fast that even Cross couldn't keep up.

"Nia, slow down. ”

Nia turned around and found that Cross was already showing fatigue, and as for Gawain, the guy had stopped to rest alone.

"You're too slow, at this rate, we can't get out of the Twilight Mountains in two days. ”

Cross gasped, not knowing what to say for a while.

"The fog could reach here on the third day, and by that time, we'll all be finished. With a determined look and tone, the girl told Cross that she would never slow down. Everyone had to leave the Twilight Mountains before the fog arrived.

Cross took a deep breath, although he had not experienced the horror of the dense fog lightly, he would definitely not put himself in danger easily. He turned his head and shouted in Gawain's direction, "Gawain, we won't wait for you, the fog is coming, if you don't want to die, just try to keep up!"

The exhaustion of the body is naturally far less terrible than death, and after hearing Cross's final announcement, Gawain finally realized the crisis, and with the blessing of his will, he followed the team.

The speed at which the three of them advanced increased, however, the dense fog expanded faster than Nia had expected.

At noon on the second day of departure to Blackwater, the dense fog quietly arrived, at first it was just a thin fog and an icy chill, and after a few moments, the three of them were completely surrounded by the thick fog.

The fog came so suddenly and so secretly that even Nia could react. She shouted, "It's a thick fog!" and as soon as she finished speaking, her figure disappeared from Cross's sight.

The temperature plummeted, and the blade of the long sword was covered with a thin layer of frost in an instant, and the surrounding area was white, and the view was completely blocked.

"Cross, Lord Cross, where are you?" Gawain panicked.

"Don't panic, let's get closer. Hand in hand. "The calm Cross commanded in the thick fog, and the only thing he could rely on now was hearing.

After the three of them finished holding hands, Cross and Gawain switched positions, Gawain was too timid to be at the end.

"Nia, how long will it take to get out of the Dusk Mountains?"

"1 hour. ”

"Can you move on?"

"Yes. ”

"Don't be too fast, it's the way down the hill now. The mountain wall is steep, and if we step on it, we will all die. ”

"yes, Nia, you can't step on the air. ”

"Gawain, it's better for you not to speak. ”

“......”

"Lord Cross, I can move forward with the route I remember, and more dangerous than this is the monster in the fog. ”

"Don't worry, you just need to take us forward with peace of mind, monster, leave it to me. ”

Cross didn't say this to show off, at this critical moment when his life was threatened, no fool would want to be in the limelight, he said this, he didn't have an absolute grasp of his own strength, even Nia, who was equal to his own strength, was so afraid of monsters, how could he be 100% confident.

He said this to Nia and Gawain, the purpose was to stabilize the emotions of the two, especially Gawain, he didn't want to be distracted to take care of an older child at such a moment.

Moreover, in Cross's opinion, the threat of monsters should be superficial, and the low temperature in the dense fog is the real hidden killer. In this low temperature environment, the average human is estimated to not be able to support even an hour.

At that moment, a mournful roar came from within the thick fog.

"It's a monster!" Nia reminded.

Cross concentrated, he was ready to close his eyes and use his hearing to determine the monster's location.

However, the moment he closed his eyes, he sensed several pale blue balls of light around him!

It's magic!

Are monsters all controlled by magic?

Cross swung his sword and slashed at the nearest cloud of blue mana.

With a creak, the blue magic retreated a short distance. And the crisp sound seemed to be the sound of bones breaking.

Resurrected skeletons?

Cross had a rough judgment about the monster. In the ensuing resistance, he always knocks down monsters with precision. As a result, none of the monsters actually came close to the squad.

"Lord Cross, you're so much more powerful than I thought. Nia, who led the way, couldn't help but exclaim.

"Nia, can you hurry up? These monsters can't be killed. And I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for long. ”

"This speed is already the limit in thick fog, unless ......"

"Unless what?"

"There is a cliff not far ahead, and below the cliff is a waterhole, and you can leave the Dusk Mountains by jumping off the cliff. ”

"Jump...... Jump...... Jumping ......" Gawain was already shivering from the cold, and he couldn't even speak coherently.

"Gawain, I didn't expect you to have such a high level of consciousness this time. Great, we chose to jump off the cliff!"

The team that is determined to jump off the cliff rushes towards the cliff. Unexpectedly, a large number of monsters appeared in front of me.

Cross let go of Gawain's hand and shouted, "Nia, you take Gawain to rush over first, and I'll protect your rear." ”

Nia picked up the half-frozen Gawain and rushed forward, her claws flicking the skeleton monster left and right.

Cross followed closely behind, ostensibly saying that he wanted to protect Nia's rear, but in fact he just wanted her to charge. He was dragged down by the half-dead Gawain, and he didn't want to die in this place.

Suddenly, Cross sensed the magic on the soles of his feet, and he raised his sword and slammed it into the ground.

"Bang"

The long sword actually broke!

Only then did Cross realize that he had not paid attention to the excessive wear and tear of iron at low temperatures.

At that moment, a bony hand reached out from the ground and grabbed Cross's ankle. The latter fell directly to the ground.

Movement is restricted, weapons have been broken, monsters are still pouring in from all directions, and the situation is at stake.

"Lord Cross! There are too many monsters!"

The situation on Nia's side is also very dangerous, but Cross can't even save his own life at the moment, so naturally he won't care about anything else.

If he has no weapons, he will fight with his bare hands, unless he has reached the point where he has no combat power, otherwise, he will never give up.

Cross caught the approaching magic and smashed it with his fist, but he didn't touch any obstacles in the process of punching, and directly hit the light blue magic, and in an instant, the magic power that originally showed a ball was scattered by a punch!
