Under the night, a large group of black bats fluttered across the sky and disappeared at the end of the sky. In the center of the group of bats was a group of white figures. Nangong Wuyue couldn't help but muttered as she watched the pair of enemies disappear into the sky. : "Vivienne wouldn't just throw Lily down on the way..."
Hao Ren looked into the distance, and spread his hands slightly: "It's already thrown down—it was thrown down just after flying into the woods."
Nangong Wuyue: "..."
"It's okay, Lily's body is strong, and it's okay to get hit twice, and these are the usual things they keep," Hao Ren looked away nonchalantly, "Every time Vivienne flies out at night to relax, Lily still takes a The slingshot is guarding her behind the window, and that's it for the two of them, there is no cure."
Lily and Vivienne, as the "high-speed combination" in the team, are going to investigate the situation at the Blood Lake outpost together, but the Knights have already set up layers of ground defenses outside the Twisted Woodland in order to resist the stone giants on the ground. There was almost no gap between the magic tower and the patrolling sentinels. Hao Ren didn't want to cause trouble for irrelevant matters, so he suggested that the two of them cross the defense line from the air. Lily couldn't fly, so of course she was picked up by Vivienne—the vampire girl was also true, she said that if she crossed the defense line, she just crossed the defense line, and she threw the husky down as soon as she flew into the woods.
Y'zaks and Becky had left earlier, and only Hao Ren and Nangong Wuyue were left at the scene. With the light of the cold double moon shining down, Hao Ren scanned the Dragon's Back mountain under the night with the light, and threw the data terminal into the air: "Teleport!"
"You're so lazy..." The data terminal turned into a blue light and disappeared into the air, leaving only a sentence that slowly dissipated in the air.
After a while, Hao Ren and Nangong Wuyue arrived at a place nearly 100 kilometers away from the south of Layton Town through the transmission function of the data terminal. This is where the Longji Mountains collapsed and deformed strangely. When he recovered, he was startled by the sight in front of him:
Hearing is not as good as seeing. It is really hard to imagine how the mountain range can be deformed to form a "celestial road" just based on other people's descriptions. Now he knows why both Gordon and Ophra insist that the deformation in the southern part of the Longji Mountain Range is an ancient evil. The power of magic: I can only see the dark mountain under the night, which is twisted into a strange shape like a ghost. Countless stalagmites that look like horizontal stalactites protrude from the supposedly smooth mountain wall. There are dozens of small ones. meters long. The big one stretches across the sky, and the so-called "sky road" is actually a super-giant "stalagmite" extending like this. That deformed mountain, hundreds of meters wide, crossing the ridge of Mount Layton in the night sky, and falling straight into the twisted woodland, could not have been formed naturally anyway. But there are no traces of artificial construction. If you have to describe it, it is more like "growing" from the mountain wall.
The reason why Layton's line of defense can become a "line of defense" is because if you go from the Dragon's Back Mountain Range to the Twisted Woodland, you will encounter a "geological fold" that is lower than the mountain range but steep and difficult to climb. This fold surrounds the Twisted Woodland. Dun Town is its only entrance, and when the Stone Giant first appeared. Those huge monsters that are not good at climbing are also blocked by this mountain ridge, but now the "sky road" extending from the Dragon's Back mountain range completely crossed the line of defense from the air, and the stone giant passed through here Access to the interior of the Holy Land is almost unimpeded.
This "celestial road" often collapses, changes shape, and even changes the landing point at the other end. The knights have no way of setting up a fixed line of defense at the end of it. No wonder they are exhausted when dealing with this thing.
It's just that the intelligence of the stone giants is always limited. Except for the action half a month ago, they don't know how to allocate superior forces to a cluster to attack. The stone giants will choose the nearest stronghold to attack from which mountain peak breaks down. Otherwise, if all the monsters in the entire mountain range are mobilized and concentrated, they will all pour into the Twisted Woodland from this sky road. No matter how much faith the soldiers of the Knights of the Church had, they couldn't have killed so many monsters.
However, no stone giants are falling from the southern mountain now, and it may be the time when the stone giants are slightly dormant. Hao Ren didn't notice any monsters wandering around here. The magnificent and strange boulder "Heavenly Road" just lay quietly across the night sky, seemingly harmless.
Hao Ren held up the data terminal and looked around like a searchlight. The data terminal was puzzled by his behavior: "What are you doing?"
Hao Ren took it for granted: "Aren't you a sensor? I scan the environment..."
The data terminal froze for a moment, then flew out of Hao Ren's hand and yelled, "Your brain can't function normally once? Just tell this machine no!"
Then the data terminal emitted a faint blue light to roughly scan the surrounding situation, and after ten seconds it fell back on the shoulder of the good man: "'Heavenly Road' itself has no magic energy left, it is a simple stone, the source of this phenomenon should be It's inside the mountain."
Hao Ren looked up. Find a path to climb up the "Tianlu" on the uneven mountain next to it: "Go up and have a look. I heard that if the 'Tianlu' senses that outsiders are climbing, it will 'throw' people off, go up and try. "Speaking. He glanced back at Nangong Wuyue: "Are you waiting below or..."
"I didn't come here to hold you back!" Nangong Wuyue puffed her cheeks and put her hands on her hips, "The sea monster has no other skills, except that its ability to survive is at least better than yours. Exploring this dangerous place depends on my skills, okay? "
As Nangong Wuyue was speaking, a mist of water suddenly appeared around her, blocking her vision. After the mist cleared, she had already transformed into a seductive beauty. She was in the form of a female snake, and she also threw the hard-frozen ball of clothes into Hao Ren's hands Li: "Help me put it away. Let me go ahead when I go up later. Doesn't it mean that there is still miasma on the mountain road-I am best at dealing with that stuff."
Hao Ren put away Nangong Wuyue's clothes casually, looked thoughtfully at the other party's soft snake tail, and then at the rocky mountain wall: "Is your body structure suitable for mountain climbing? Stop rubbing your belly bald..."
Nangong Wuyue flicked his tail over: "Look at the animal world more when you have time, you need to replenish your brain!"
After she finished speaking, she twisted her body and climbed up the mountain like a snake, her body was completely fitted on the jagged rocks, her posture was graceful but her speed was fast, Hao Ren quickly followed behind and ran up the mountain: "The animal world didn't even talk about special animals. Mountain-climbing snake..."
The speed of the two was very fast, and they soon came to the place where the "Heavenly Road" started. After climbing up, Hao Ren noticed that the part where the "Sky Road" connects to the mountain is not as abrupt as it looks. There are also wide ramps winding out to the sides of the mountain, but these structures were not found just now due to the angle. The meaning of these gentle and wide transitions is self-evident: it is to allow the stone giants to come here conveniently, after all, those monsters have no ability to climb cliffs.
"The 'design' is so sophisticated and thoughtful, no matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with human effort," Hao Ren pouted, planning to find the real origin of this twisted mountain from the terrain, but he frowned first. He frowned, "What's the smell?"
There was a strange smell like rotting vegetation in the air, and it was so subtle that it was almost indistinguishable. If it wasn't for Hao Ren's senses beyond ordinary people, he might subconsciously ignore it or think it was the normal smell of rotting vegetation in the mountains. However, before Hao Ren finished speaking, there was a cool and steamy breeze that blew away the strange smell. Nangong Wuyue stretched his arms to disperse the poisonous mist around him with water mist: "This should be the so-called miasma. Dangerous because it is non-toxic when first inhaled and reacts in the warm environment of the lungs for a while before it becomes fatal."
Hao Ren was shocked immediately: "I seem to have inhaled it just now!"
Nangong Wuyue gave him a sideways glance: "It's okay, my girl's water mist can detoxify—and with your physique, you won't die if you inhale a little."
Hao Ren felt that the girl Nangong Wuyue was really versatile—he could heal illnesses, heal injuries, detoxify, add shields to the team, and she was a golden-eyed animal that avoided water in special situations. Where would you go for such a high-end support? looking for it? The only problem is that if you fight, you will be cowardly...
"Now it's time to test how this mountain 'feels' that someone is climbing the 'Road to Heaven'." Hao Ren looked at the long "bridge" of boulders that spanned the sky not far away, "I want to see, Who is staring at this side. By the way, remember to use space teleportation to pull me back when I fall later. It would be uncomfortable to fall so high and be hit by dozens of tons of stones... "
The data terminal slammed into Hao Ren's back: "Okay, okay, let's go!" (to be continued~^~)
