Rewinding the time to ten minutes ago, the ancient castle of the Behemoth family was thoroughly bombed by the massive ammunition hoarded by Hessiana since World War II, and then fell apart. , Facts have proved that in the past 100 years, the rather low-key Heatherana family has actually hidden the strength that has surpassed the Shadow Fiend family. In an instant, the army was defeated.
But the leader of the Shadow Demon family ran away.
When everyone arrived at the basement of the castle, they only saw the destroyed altar and magic circle, and the key slabs that had been shattered into pieces. Bethemos found another twisted point in the basement of his castle that could connect to the ruins and escaped. Go in, and blow up the back road at the end.
However, this did not stop Hao Ren and the others. The method of opening the door recorded by the data terminal was also effective in the Shadow Demon Castle. Everyone re-summoned the portal leading to the ruins above the collapsed altar, and Hessiana ordered her men to Waiting outside the portal, then followed Hao Ren and Vivian to the different space that almost killed her.
But after passing through the portal, what appeared in front of everyone was a desert.
Lily was squatting nervously on the sand dunes not far away, while Hao Ren looked at the strange and endless scenery around him in astonishment. Under the chaotic and yellowed sky, there was only endless yellow sand, and the undulating sand dunes spread from his feet to the end of the horizon. He looked into the distance and saw scattered dry plants and jagged rocks that had weathered into various strange shapes in the sandy land in the distance. Apart from these things, everything was desolate. There are no buildings or ruins that can be used as landmarks at all - and of course there is no shadow of Bethemoth.
"Shouldn't there be a sea of clouds in here?" Becky looked around nervously holding her long sword. The strange changes in the environment made her mercenary instinct frantically call the police—and she hadn't forgotten that she almost had an accident in this strange space before. The scene of being cooked, to be honest, she didn't want to come in at first, for fear that the energy storm inside was still raging. But later, when she thought that her enemy was waiting here, she still couldn't hold back and followed.
"It seems that when you enter the ruins from different places, the scenery inside will be different," Heatherana pinched her chin and speculated. "The key slab can only take effect at a specific space distortion point. I found the distortion point at the entrance of the Parthenon Temple, but now it seems that there are more than one such distortion point. Of course, it may have nothing to do with the entry coordinates. Besser Moss somehow changed the 'settings' in the ruins, and he knows more about the ruins than I do."
In order to ensure safety, Nangong Wuyue transformed into a sea snake before entering the ruins, but she was dumbfounded as soon as she entered. At this time, she coiled her tail in a circle to form a mosquito coil. The upper body lay listlessly in the middle of the mosquito coil: "Death, death, death..."
It is really difficult for her to let a sea creature come to explore in the desert.
"Why don't you go back first?" Hao Ren took out a large bucket of water from his portable space and sprinkled it on Nangong Wuyue's tail. This bucket of water was originally prepared for Doudou, "The environment of this place is not suitable for you..."
"It's okay, I'll just get used to it," Nangong Wuyue finally regained her spirits after being sprinkled with water. She tried her best to concentrate and squeeze the water in the surrounding air and deep in the yellow sand, forming a layer of "better than nothing" around herself and everyone. humidity environment. "Fortunately... there is still some water content."
"Terminal, scan." Hao Ren threw the data terminal into the sky, and the only one on the scene that was completely unaffected by the environment was this PDA.
The data terminal rose to a high altitude, scanned it with the wide-area radar far beyond the perception limit of everyone on the scene, then landed and projected a huge arrow pointing into the air: "Go in this direction, there is a mountain range over there, There seems to be something interesting on the other side of the mountain."
Hao Ren thought for a while, and decided to save some lazy things: "You fly fast, teleport us there."
"Just be lazy!" the data terminal complained as usual, but it will not be passive and slow down when doing business like this. It immediately turned into a blue light and disappeared into the sky. After a while, everyone was teleported to a bare stone mountain. The data terminal landed on Hao Ren's shoulder: "This machine sent you directly to the top of the mountain. Look at what is at the foot of the mountain?"
Hao Ren and the others recovered from the dizziness and nausea caused by the teleportation, and looked at the surrounding environment. Hao Ren first saw the rolling yellow sand extending infinitely from the side of the mountain—that desert was where everyone came. direction. And on the other side of the mountain. He saw a vast barren plain with a large wasteland full of gravel. and a large basin. Looking as far as the eye can see, on the other side of the plain, is another equally desolate mountain range.
It seems that there is nothing strange about two mountain ranges, a plain and a basin in between, but Hao Ren always feels that the scene in front of him has an inexplicable sense of sight.
He searched the memories in his mind, and at the same time looked at the trend of the whole mountain: the mountain range under his feet stretched out to an unknown distance, and the section where it bends towards the desert in the distance has a very wonderful structure, with the peaks and gaps in order The distribution looks like a huge spine.
"Wow!" Lily suddenly realized, "This is a bit like the Dragon's Back Mountain Range!"
"The basin below should be the Beinz Blood Lake," Vivienne nodded, "The plain should be the Twisted Woodland... What's going on?"
The data terminal landed in mid-air, presenting the surrounding desolate topography in a precise holographic projection, and then covering them with vegetation and blood-colored lake water. When the image processing is completed, the appearance of the Beinz Blood Lake is presented in its entirety, almost Exactly.
Hao Ren was dumbfounded.
"Obviously, we are still in a different space, rather than being transported to the dream plane," the data terminal turned off the projection, "presumably, what is recorded here should be the scene of a certain historical period in the dream plane—in the blood of Beinz The scene before the lake was formed, the prairie was once a desert, and the Beinz Blood Lake was once a basin. The legend of the Dream Plane seems to have many deviations. The scene we see now should be the real scene before the goddess died. : A desolate place."
Becky opened her mouth and couldn't close it for a long time: "Er...you said that if I draw the scene in front of me and take it back to my hometown and sell it to historians and the church..."
"Nine times out of ten, you will be tied to the firewood by the church and sprinkled with cumin and burned for two hours." Nangong Wuyue squinted at the mercenary girl who made money and died, "Even if no one burns you, they will probably burn you." Be crazy."
Becky stuck out her tongue and stopped making a sound, and Heather Anna, who was standing behind Vivian, finally couldn't help her curiosity when she saw this: "What are you guys talking about all this time? What kind of dream plane?" This is not the first time I have said it!" Then she pointed at the data terminal: "And what is the origin of this brick that can talk and project holograms?! When did human wizards develop such a thing?"
The cold sweat on Hao Ren's forehead immediately came down. He and Hesianna had been working together for a long time, but he subconsciously regarded the other party as "one of us". Here comes the original vampire you know...
He hurriedly asked if the data terminal had the kind of automatic lead that can make people lose their memory by pressing them in the eyes, but Vivienne didn't have to be so troublesome, she just gave Heather Anna a look: "Secret, don't ask."
Then Heatherna nodded and agreed with the same solemn expression as signing the military order before going to the battlefield.
If only she had always been so obedient.
Lili nimbly jumped and ran around among the rocks to investigate, and suddenly stood on a high place pointing to a certain position on the mountainside and yelled loudly: "Hey! The temple! The temple is halfway there. The mountainside is gone!"
Everyone finally found the cloud temple that should theoretically be the core of the ruins, but this time it did not float in the sky, but was "embedded" in the middle of the main peak of the Longji Mountains in a strange state, looking as if It seems to be integrated with the whole mountain. And it hasn't collapsed: the last massive energy storm looked like it was going to tear the temple apart, but now it seems that the latter is still intact.
"Bethemos must be there!" Haisianna cheered, spread her wings and glided towards the mountainside, while Nangong Wuyue was following her, and the siren girl went down the mountain with great momentum. Rolling and exclaiming: "Ah... help... help stop... I can't stop!!"
Y'zaks was taken aback when he saw this: "Why does this girl like to ball herself so much?"
Nangong Wuyue Snake Ball replied intermittently while rolling towards the mountainside: "In order to prevent... the water from evaporating—"
Hao Ren: "..."
Once again, it is really difficult for her to let a sea creature explore the desert.
(By the way, I recommend the book "Tai Er" by the author of the same group, Lang Xiangru, which is fantasy. Although I don't usually read fantasy, I still recommend it for this name. Everyone, please go and get more popular.) (To be continued~ ^~)
