According to Gordon and Ophra, this weird mountain road in the air can sense the approach of outsiders as if it is sane. Even if only one knight soldier climbs the mountain road, it will lead to collapse, and each collapse is quite serious. Precise: Only the rocks under the outsider's feet will collapse. According to the report of the soldiers who escaped, this kind of collapse process was as strange and unnatural as the appearance of the "Sky Road", as if the rocks were shaking consciously to shake off the insects and ants on their bodies, and the soldiers were terrified by this endlessly. The continuous deformation of the entire "Heavenly Road", the unfathomable shaking and collapse, and the strange miasma permeating this area have made it impossible for the Knights to capture this place so far. They are impregnable.
Facing the power left over from the ancient magic empire, the modern dream plane natives are as helpless as they are facing the mighty power of nature.
Of course, the Knights can also try to blow up this "bridge", but it is obviously a stupid idea: the Dragon's Back Mountain Range can rebuild the "Sky Road" countless times, unless the entire mountain range is leveled, otherwise this matter will never end .
Hao Ren, on the other hand, had another doubt after hearing these things: Why did such a "bridge" only appear on the south side of the Dragon's Back Mountain Range? If the entire mountain range is really fully active, with its "movement power" displayed on the south side, it can even directly engulf the entire Beinz area, and then there will be nothing for the Knights. But the current situation is that there is only one breakthrough in the entire mountain range, and there are only four peaks that can split stone giants until now.
Hao Ren guessed that maybe the "ancient power" dormant in the Dragon's Back Mountain Range has not yet fully awakened, or maybe this power has been suppressed for thousands of years, and now there is only so much power left, or maybe a certain black hand behind the scenes really has no ability to control everything —In any case, Hao Ren smelled a disturbing smell from the changes in this mountain range in the past two months. He felt that there should be a more terrifying power hidden in the depths of this mountain range, but it has not yet manifested.
Now, he wants to test the weirdness of this place himself, and let the data terminal monitor the surrounding energy readings, in order to find out where the source of the various changes in the Longji Mountains is.
He first threw some stones on the air mountain road ahead, but of course it had no effect. Then he walked carefully to the "Road to Heaven", at this moment he suddenly remembered that Vivienne should be with him: she can fly...
But this time he didn't think so much. After stepping on the "Heavenly Road", the expected collapse did not come, and everything around was still quiet, not to mention the collapse, and the ground under my feet didn't even shake.
"No response." Hao Ren took a few steps forward and ran back and forth twice. "Could it be that the soldiers made it up to scare people?"
"Don't make trouble. It's impossible," the data terminal flew around Hao Ren, "It's an elite army, how could it be possible to form a group to play such a nasty joke with the superiors, and the soldiers who died in the mountain road collapse accident have already Not one or two people... This machine thinks that some kind of monitoring system in this place may just be asleep... "
Hao Ren stared at the data terminal: "You are even more unreliable!"
In any case, there is nothing abnormal on the surrounding ground. Nangong Wuyue watched nervously from a distance, because she was so nervous that she even coiled herself on a big rock beside her, seeing that Hao Ren didn't make any movement at this time, she slowly crawled over: "Are you okay? "
"I don't know why... It seems that we won't arouse the 'alertness' of this mountain." Hao Ren has subconsciously regarded the change of this "Heavenly Road" as a conscious action, so he unconsciously puts it in his words. Its anthropomorphic view, "According to what Lily found out from the soldiers in the city later. As long as you stand here for more than a few seconds and don't move, the place will collapse, and the stone under your feet will roll over. It will even suddenly bounce up and throw people away. To the cliffs below, never except now."
Nangong Wuyue slapped the nearby ground with the tip of her tail in circles, as if she wanted to find an underground cavity, but of course she found nothing: "Could it be that this mountain only responds to 'locals'? It might There is indeed a detection mechanism, but it is not manually operated, this automatic detection mechanism will only treat the inhabitants of this world as 'human beings'."
Hao Ren rubbed his chin and nodded: "It's possible. Anyway, let's go back to the mountain along the trail just now to check the situation."
After Hao Ren said that, he turned around and walked in the direction he came from. Nangong Wuyue twisted and followed behind him, but just a few steps away, they heard a loud "boom" from a distance!
Nangong Wuyue suddenly exclaimed in shock: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."
As a result, there was no movement on the ground under her feet until she finished exclaiming: the loud bang just now came from another place. Hao Ren turned his head helplessly to comfort the useless sea monster: "Don't be overly nervous. It's somewhere else... Um, do you really need to do this?"
It turned out that Nangong Wuyue curled up her tail reflexively at the moment when the boom sounded. The speed of self-binding is almost unpredictable. When Hao Ren turned his head, he saw a familiar snake ball dangling behind him. Nangong Wuyue's upper body was waving his arms to try to maintain balance.
Hao Ren covered his forehead: "... Do you have to roll yourself into a big snake ball every time you encounter a little trouble?"
Nangong Wuyue muttered as she untied herself: "Is this what Dashewan's pill means..."
The roar just now came from the east—it was deep in the mountainous area where Hao Ren was, and it sounded a little far away from here. Hao Ren suspected that another stone giant had fallen from the mountain wall, so he dragged Nangong Wuyue over to check the situation. They ran wildly on the rugged mountain road, and after a while, they approached the place where the sound came from. At this moment, Nangong Wuyue suddenly called out to Hao Ren in a low voice: "It smells of blood."
"Why do you all have sharper noses than me?" Hao Ren quickly slowed down and murmured subconsciously.
Nangong Wuyue crawled down and walked slowly along the mountain wall, her voice was very low: "There is a specialization in surgery - according to what you said, we can't even have our nose compared with Lily."
While Nangong Wuyue was talking, she approached a tall rock. She hid her body, twisted her tail into a circle like a mosquito coil, and then slowly lifted it up. Hao Ren felt that this girl's functions were more abundant than he imagined. One point: she is still a jack, although I don't know how the bearing capacity is...
The sea demon girl lifted her head and took a look outside, and immediately let out a low exclamation, motioning Hao Ren to come forward. Hao Ren immediately put up his shield and ran ahead: Nangong Wuyue has no fighting power, if there is an enemy, he must run ahead.
However, there were no stone giants at the scene. Under the hazy moonlight, there were only a few scattered soldiers on a small rocky flat in the mountains—strictly speaking, soldiers who had already died in battle.
"Not long after he died," Nangong Wuyue quickly meandered to one of the soldiers, "The blood is still warm. It's so miserable..."
Her voice was a little sad. She has seen a lot of life and death in her hundreds of years of traveling in the world. In fact, she has no resistance to the dead, but people who die under the hands of stone giants are often extremely tragic. Even a strange person like her feels a little uncomfortable. .
Most of these fallen soldiers had mutilated limbs, broken tendons, and some were even crushed to the ground with armor. There were also a few mages at the scene, but these mages obviously hadn't had time to cast the gravity magic that was specially designed to deal with the stone giants. Killed: They didn't even have time to activate their wands.
Reminiscent of the sudden cracking noise just now, it is easy to guess what happened here: this group of soldiers should be members of the Kingdom Knights patrolling the Dragon's Back Mountain Range, and according to the situation at the scene, they should be resting here temporarily Suddenly, but just when these soldiers relaxed their vigilance, the cliff above their heads suddenly cracked—the stone giant fell from the sky, without giving these people any time to react, some of them might still be crushed to death on the spot.
Hao Ren looked up at the rock wall, and sure enough, he found a dent that was suspected to be the stone giant's crack.
It is a small probability event, but it is an unlucky event that is really possible to encounter in the current Longji Mountains. Now the soldiers and mercenaries who come back and forth on the mountain road every day are most afraid of stone giants falling from the sky and hitting themselves , but there are not many who have suffered disasters like these soldiers in front of them.
"The monster should have gone down the mountain path." Nangong Wuyue raised her body and looked into the distance. The traces left by the stone giant on the road are still easy to spot. "Do you want to chase it?"
It's just a lone stone giant, which is of no value to Hao Ren now. There are many such giants wandering on the west side of the mountain range, so he shook his head: "No, let's go to the main peak to have a look. The terminal detects that there is a suspected energy active point there."
The two mourned in silence for these soldiers who had suffered misfortune. Nangong Wuyue left a layer of enchantment around the corpses to prevent the beasts in the mountains from gnawing at the corpses of these soldiers. Naturally, other patrolling troops would find these missing soldiers the next day. They take it back.
Then they left here.
But they hadn't gone far, and the expression on Nangong Wuyue's face suddenly changed: "Go back! There is a situation!" (To be continued~^~)
