After hearing this, Miles finally showed a rare expression of surprise.
"...map?"
Benjamin nodded.
I think back when he was still in the Riese family, he accidentally obtained an unnamed map from a bandit leader in the Hori Kingdom. After Michelle identified the map, she concluded that it was the map of the Valley of God's Abandonment.
Although the map is no longer on his person, it is still well preserved in the system's database. The moment they entered the valley, the system simulated the image in his mind.
"The terrain on this map is very consistent with this place." The system said at the time.
Benjamin was suddenly pleasantly surprised. I don’t know how long ago I got the map, and I even thought it might be gathering dust for the rest of my life. I didn’t expect that it could still shine at this time.
Of course, this also proves from the side that this place is probably the real Valley of God’s Abandonment.
The lifeless ground, the gray sky, the strange mental pressure... Benjamin was not sure where they had arrived, but he knew that this was probably not the world before.
—The aperture summoned by the bracelet brought them to a completely different place.
However, not long after they came in, those few paladins appeared again soon. When Benjamin saw this, he immediately realized that the aperture had not disappeared. It's like a teleportation array that can send people in endlessly.
This is still pretty bad.
The church's army will soon arrive, and things will become more and more troublesome. Not to mention... the location from which entrance is basically random.
The location where these paladins appeared was several hundred meters away from where they came in. Benjamin didn’t know whether these were the only people in the church who came in? If someone else comes in, where will their location appear
In an instant, the entire silent valley became perilous.
"Why are you still standing there? Take out the map quickly!"
Miles looked very excited and urged him quickly. He obviously did not consider anything about the church or not, and his mind was entirely on the Valley of God’s Abandonment.
"I don't have the map with me, but I have memorized everything on it." Benjamin shrugged, turned around, and said, "Follow me."
On the previous map, there was a crossed place. They can go there first and have a look.
"Hey, you... wait for me!" Seeing Benjamin take a step forward, Miles was stunned and had to hurry up and follow from behind.
"Be careful." Benjamin turned his head and said as he walked, "Who knows what the hell is going on here? I will keep an eye on what's going on around me, and you should keep an eye on it too."
Miles nodded: "I understand."
Under the scan of the water element induction method, Benjamin has not found anything so far, but... things that can deceive the water element have not appeared before.
After all, this is the legendary Valley of God’s Abandonment!
In this way, they walked along the route guided by the system for about ten minutes. The two of them remained vigilant and paid attention to everything around them. And the scene in their eyes didn't change much. The rugged mountain walls on both sides extend forward, and sometimes there are some forks, but there is always no end in sight. Benjamin even began to wonder how big the entire valley was.
Fortunately, half an hour later, they finally encountered something different.
"Is that...an element?"
Hiding behind a huge rock, the two of them stuck their heads out and looked at a few floating light groups in front of them. They looked at each other with somewhat confused expressions.
Several light groups, blue and red, about the size of a human head, were floating in the narrow mountain road ahead, which was very strange. Benjamin's water element induction method could not sense their existence at all, but after the system analyzed it, it gave the result of an element.
—Those things are elements, but they are a larger collection of elements.
"Elemental creatures?" Miles nodded and said, "I have seen similar things in some ruins, but... they usually turn into the form of beasts, not like now."
Benjamin took a deep breath.
Regardless, they have to fix this thing before they can move forward. Therefore, he still took action and threw an "Elemental Command·Destruction" from a distance to see if he could get rid of these unknown objects.
However, something surprising happened to him.
The runes rolled up the turbulence, but in the turbulence, the elemental light groups were not affected at all, as if they were just illusions projected there.
But... it's clear that they are not hallucinations.
Although the elemental turbulence had no effect, these light groups were still disturbed. At that moment, their bodies suddenly shrank, like the frightened pupils of humans.
Later, these elemental aggregates seemed to find the two people hiding behind the rock.
"Be careful, they're coming!"
Miles clenched the dagger in his hand and whispered.
Benjamin also looked troubled.
These things... doesn't magic work on them
The incident happened suddenly, but before he had time to think about it, these elemental creatures rushed towards the two of them. Benjamin had no choice but to expand the water element field, condense into countless ice blades, and hit the light group. However, just like the previous elemental turbulence, the ice blade passed directly through the light group without causing any damage to them.
At this time, the elemental light group was only a few meters away from them.
Benjamin's face darkened. He didn't know what this was, but he didn't dare to bet on what would happen if he got close to these light groups.
"Get away first, we may not be able to deal with them." Therefore, he had no choice but to say this while flying into the sky and starting to retreat.
However, Miles didn't seem to have any intention of retreating on his face, and instead walked towards those light groups.
Benjamin wanted to hold him back, but then he thought about it, Miles's physique was very special, and elements would be instinctively repelled by him. Maybe... he can restrain these strange elemental creatures
So, the light ball floated this way, Miles walked that way, and the two parties collided almost in the next second.
Just when the distance between him and those light groups was less than one meter, Miles raised the dagger and was about to drop it, but the change happened again.
Those colorful light groups suddenly stopped.
"This is… "
I saw that the elemental light group looked like some kind of extremely human animal, first circling around Miles. Then, their bodies suddenly trembled, as if they had encountered something extremely disgusting. They turned back and disappeared without a trace, leaving the two people standing here stunned.
"You just... ran away?"
Benjamin was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Miles was dumbfounded for a while, and the dagger he swung awkwardly stopped in mid-air. Then, he sniffed his clothes, turned his head, and asked Benjamin: "Am I so smelly?"
