The rest of the journey became a bit longer. At the start, Qianye could see the stone forest from the top of the hill, but it took a few days before he actually arrived. On the one hand, his strength was suppressed and his speed dropped sharply, and on the other hand, it was because of his perception disorder.
From the first day, Qianye discovered the abnormality of this world. Or being suppressed by the will of the Void Behemoth at all times, Qianye can only expand and clear his vision even if he has the Real Pupil, and his perception will inevitably be distorted. Many distant scenes seem very close, but once you walk, you will find that the real distance is far beyond expectations.
It can be seen from this that this floating landmass should also be much larger than what he visually observed.
At this moment, Qianye finally stood in front of the stone forest. He reached out to touch a stone pillar to confirm that he had really arrived, then jumped up, found a foothold on the top of the stone pillar, and looked around.
Unsurprisingly, he found that this forest of stone pillars was much wider than what he saw in the distance, and it was boundless when he looked around. The skeletons of those giant beasts were still far away, and the distance was far away, as if the past few days of running hadn't shortened the distance at all.
Standing on the top of the stone pillar, Qianye took a deep breath, feeling as if he swallowed fire.
The world is actually very cold, with a bone-chilling chill in the wind. Up to now, Qianye finally knew what was wrong with the wind tunnel. It was the remnant will of the ubiquitous Void Behemoth, which almost became a tangible thing. Every time he breathed, he would swallow a little.
The suppression of the giant beast's will is very special, with a psychedelic power, and it needs to use the original force to fight against it all the time. Otherwise, the perception will soon become blurred, as if time and space have become a mess, which will merge and engulf people's consciousness at any time. Even with the use of force to fight, every breath is like a fire, and it takes a lot of effort to suppress the burning feeling.
This is the dangerous truth.
If the level of outsiders is not enough, they will not be able to resist the will of the giant beast at all, and their consciousness will be directly swallowed up. A strong man with a high enough level would probably need to spend the standard level of force to suppress the burning, but as long as he slackened a little and could not resist the will of the giant beast, the force of the whole body would be completely ignited in an instant, and the whole person would be burned to ashes .
The moment Qianye had just entered this world, the Marquis whose body was on fire and fell to the ground fell like this.
However, after a few days of adjustments, Qianye has adapted to the suppression of the will of the giant beast. For him, the original force that can be used has become less and the usual consumption has become greater.
Just as Qianye was about to jump off the stone pillar, he suddenly saw clouds of smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and something was rushing towards this side from the plain. He mobilized his blood to lurk, restrained his breath, and hid it perfectly.
As the smoke approached, it could be seen that it was a galloping herd. This is a creature similar to a wild horse, with two curved horns growing on the top of its head, and several bone swords of different lengths growing on the back of its neck and shoulder blades. They are tall, with very powerful strides between gallops, and they can reach ten meters in a vertical leap.
This group of strange beasts rushed into the stone forest in a blink of an eye, and ran towards the depths of the stone forest.
Qianye's heart moved, he jumped off the top of the stone pillar, and landed on the last strange beast without a sound. Qianye grabbed its corner with one hand, and the vampire blade with the other, and inserted it through its shoulder.
The strange beast wanted to hiss in pain, but Qianye put more force in his hands and accurately strangled its vocal organs, making it unable to scream at all. Then the blood-sucking blade drained the blood in a blink of an eye, and it slowly fell limp to the ground.
The herd of beasts in front walked away in the smoke and dust, and it seemed that they didn't notice that a companion had fallen behind.
Qianye dragged the strange beast to a remote place. This was the first large enough creature he saw after entering this world. In the past few days, except for some strange plants, Qianye has seen very few life forms, and most of them are strange-shaped insects, which cannot be swallowed at first glance.
But fortunately, his Anduya mysterious space didn't fail in this strange place, and he was able to take out supplies, so he didn't starve.
Qianye found a leeward spot between two stone pillars that were very close together, lit a bonfire, and began to grill the animal meat. He prepared well for this trip, and even brought some seasonings, which immediately overflowed with meaty aroma after sprinkling. Having eaten the marching solid rations for several days, Qianye's appetite is not so good at the moment, and he ate less than half of the strange beast in one meal, so he is satisfied.
Qianye made some arrangements at the barbecue site, then went deep into the depths of the stone forest. After a while, he made a big circle, came back, and lay down on top of a nearby stone pillar, hiding.
After initially understanding that this unknown void landmass was actually extremely vast, Qianye became very patient and prepared for a long-term exploration. As for the ancient essence fragment, it seemed to move. When Qianye saw the light for the second time, it was no longer in its original position, and when Qianye entered the stone forest, he no longer sensed its existence.
Qianye didn't have to wait long when he saw a werewolf flying towards him. Maintaining his werewolf fighting form, he leaped swiftly, and quickly came to the place where Qianye was grilling the strange beast. First, he circled the surrounding area with extreme vigilance. After smelling it, I grabbed it and gobbled it up, looking like I was starving.
Plants and beasts in this world are very rare, and many plants also have a metal cluster appearance. Whether it is for the dark race or the human race, this means that food is extremely scarce, and Qianye has already experienced it.
But sympathy does not mean that he will let the werewolf go. Qianye took out the phantom Manjusawa, installed a silencer array on the muzzle, and aimed at the werewolf.
With a soft splash, the werewolf's thigh immediately burst into blood, and a wound the size of a fist appeared. The shot wasn't fatal, but it knocked out the werewolf's ability to escape. The werewolf roared in pain, and just as he turned around, he was shot again in the other leg. Then he was shot in both arms one by one.
It was only then that Qianye showed up, fell from the stone pillar, walked up to the werewolf, and pressed the hot muzzle to his forehead, "Now, answer my question honestly."
There was fear in the werewolf's eyes, and he kept nodding.
In the ensuing cross-examination, Qianye did not get any valuable information. This werewolf came from a small tribe and was a vassal of a nerubian earl. He was just a baron, which was equivalent to a ninth-level soldier of the empire.
Shortly after entering Behemoth's Sleep, he and his companions were separated. And after searching for several days, no trace of his companion was found. Even he himself couldn't explain how he finally arrived at this world after passing through the Sleep of Beasts, which was thousands of miles deep. The werewolf only remembered that he slipped when he passed a crack in a certain rock, and then fell into endless clouds and mist, and was in a stone forest when he landed.
Qianye compared the process of getting here, and couldn't help but frowned. It seems that many spaces in Sleep of Beasts are distorted. It may be impossible to enter this landmass after exploring for a long time, or it may fall in accidentally. . In this way, even those who enter in a group will be separated.
And this werewolf received two parliamentary orders, one of which was naturally to find the ancient essence fragments, and the second was to explore the terrain and draw a map, and in the process, kill as many people sent by the empire as possible.
Other than that, Qianye didn't ask any more questions. He reached out and pressed the werewolf to the ground, then sent the vampire blade into his heart.
The blood essence provided by this baron-level werewolf is nearly twice that of the dark race of the same level. It seems that those who can move freely in this world have strengths beyond their peers.
Qianye found a badge from him, which showed a running giant wolf. This emblem is very famous and is the emblem of the "Running Hunter" Legion. The status of this dark legion in the Eternal Night camp is equivalent to the special elite legions of the empire, such as the Broken Wing Angel and the Red Scorpion. There are many werewolf warriors among the running hunters, but the head of the army is a marquis of nerubian strength.
Back then when he was in Red Scorpion, Qianye had fought against the running hunter, and he deeply felt how tough his opponent was. But now, a baron with a running hunter, that is to say, a colonel-level senior officer, is a cannon fodder that can be sacrificed here.
This werewolf was still very young, and he should be an eye-catching genius in his world, but he fell here in the end.
Qianye stood up, looked at the deep night sky above his head, breathed in the burning air, calmed down, and walked towards the skeleton of the giant beast.
But at this time on the ground, the Sleeping Beast has a radius of thousands of miles, and it has become a large battlefield in full swing. The Eternal Night Council and the empire's army finally assembled to a certain size, and the first big battle began in one afternoon. Both sides have more than 100,000 armies fighting each other, and the battle lines are intertwined and changing every moment.
In this chaos, even mid-level warriors at the earl level are in danger of falling. And Song Zining not only participated in it, but also became famous after two battles.
This time, Qi Shao did not transport the dark fire from thousands of miles away, but relying on the reputation he earned from the black stream, he directly took over the command of the coalition forces of a middle-rank family and two low-rank families. The latter is the battle node of the troops, and then wanders around the entire battlefield, looking for fighters.
Song Zining never loves to fight, he will leave with one blow, no matter whether he succeeds or not, he will not stay in one place. After a few games, people were surprised to find that excellent fighters always appeared around Qi Shao, whether it was a half-disabled and exhausted army, or a small group of defenseless troops. swallow.
Only once did it bump into the formed army of the dark race, and it was also fighting inextricably with the main division of the Imperial Elite Legion. When Song Zining led his army into the battlefield, he happened to appear behind the dark army, so he launched a sneak attack, broke through the central army, gathered the power of the powerful empire on the battlefield to kill the opponent's general, and won a complete victory.
There are many more similar cases.
The Seventh Young Master of the Song Clan was at home in this extremely chaotic battlefield, and he could always take advantage of him. But whenever the dark race mobilizes an army and prepares to kill him in one fell swoop, Song Zining always has the foresight and avoids it.
There were many such things, and some strong men from the dark race couldn't stand it, and wanted to kill Song Zining. However, there are also a large number of strong fighters on the side of the empire, so of course they will not sit idly by, so they all took actions to intercept them. The two sides fought fiercely around Song Zining's army, and many fierce battles broke out in succession.
Ten days later, the two camps suffered heavy casualties, the cannon fodder troops were wiped out, and the rest were the best of the best. Under such circumstances, Song Zining's miscellaneous army of small aristocratic families became extremely conspicuous, but he went deep into the enemy's rear to harass him many times, and was almost surrounded by dark tigers and wolves from all walks of life.
If this miscellaneous army is not eliminated, even Lokthar, the nerubian warlord, will lose face.
However, Song Zining's marching route was unpredictable, elusive, even a little bit of terrain could be exploited by him to the extreme, and he escaped from the encirclement every time, as if the dark race's battlefield scouts did not exist.
After chasing and fleeing for a day and a night, Song Zining was not surrounded again until he got close to the imperial defense line.
