After encountering the strange elemental light group, the two Benjamins continued to move forward and became more careful.
The elemental light group can be "smoked" away by Miles' special physique, but other existences may not be able to. This was the first time he encountered a creature that did not eat magic, and a sense of crisis suddenly arose in Benjamin's heart.
Who knows how many existences beyond their understanding exist in this valley
"How long do we have to walk from our current location to the cross on the map?" Halfway through, Benjamin couldn't help but ask in his mind.
"At least another hour." The system replied, "Of course, you can choose to fly, and the time will be greatly shortened, as long as you are not afraid of being shot down."
Benjamin shook his head helplessly.
Although he can fly, the high altitude in this valley seems a bit strange. When he reaches a certain height, his mental energy consumption increases significantly, and he may not even be able to support the place on the map. Moreover, in a strange and dangerous environment, he still planned to preserve his mental power as much as possible.
Who knows if there will be more terrifying creatures in the sky
Along the way, they encountered several batches of elemental light groups. Because they knew Miles could disperse them, they were confident, and Benjamin also did some small experiments on these light groups.
Rune attack? Don't eat. Water elemental realm? Don't eat... Benjamin did not use "Water's Coming", so the only certain result is that all his current magic methods cannot affect this unique elemental creature.
And when Benjamin took out the crystal ball and threw it at it, the elemental light groups exploded like fireworks with a "bang" sound, and then dissipated into the invisible air.
"Magic is invalid, but will it be injured by a direct physical blow..."
Benjamin nodded thoughtfully.
He asked the system to reconstruct the structures of these elemental creatures in detail, but then, the system said something that surprised him very much.
"The structure of this thing is very similar to the structure of my body." Its tone seemed to be a little disgusting, "Of course, my structure is still much more complicated and exquisite than theirs. Compared with me, they are like straw shoes. The difference between insects and mammals.”
“…”
Ignoring the latter sentence, the message conveyed by the previous sentence is still worth pondering.
The body of the system comes from the pure blue world, and the structure of the elemental light group is somewhat similar to the body of the system. Does this mean that this place is connected to the elemental plane
Benjamin had the urge to grab a few elemental light groups and go back to study them.
However, this thing is still a bit dangerous. Therefore, he could only give up and, at Miles's urging, continue heading towards his destination.
"Huh..."
Halfway through, a subtle sound suddenly came from behind. Benjamin frowned and stopped.
"Did you hear any strange noises?"
He turned his head and scanned his surroundings, but found nothing unusual either with his naked eyes or with his senses. Therefore, he could only ask Miles this way.
Miles shook his head: "No, what's the sound?"
"It's a bit like the sound of wind, but... it feels like the source of the sound is very close, as if someone is blowing near your ear." Benjamin said.
"Hey, don't scare me. Is there a ghost here?"
"I don't know either, but... I probably heard it right, it's true." Benjamin shrugged while looking around at the empty valley.
It did sound a bit exaggerated, but if it weren't for such a strange sound, there was no need for him to stop and specifically ask Miles if he heard it.
"Stop making such a fuss. Is there any sound? You are probably too nervous." The system said impatiently.
Benjamin shook his head.
It would be great if he really heard it wrong...
Just before the system spoke, he heard the voice again. The faint sound of exhalation seemed to come from less than half a meter behind him, but when he turned his head, there was only a confused-looking Miles behind him.
"You... heard it again?"
Benjamin nodded and asked, "Did you deliberately not exhale just now to scare me?"
"Of course not. Now I just want to get to the place quickly."
When Benjamin heard this, he touched the back of his neck and felt a chill coming over him.
What are you doing? Making a horror movie
He had a creepy feeling.
What is the situation in this place? It's understandable that there are special creatures living there, but... it's a bit weird that only he can hear the strange noise.
He began to wonder if he would fall into some kind of imperceptible danger without realizing it, and then never come out again. After all, this is the Valley of God’s Abandonment, and anything can happen.
"It's better to hurry up, it's really weird here." Miles said helplessly, "I have said before that you should give me the key and let me come in alone."
"Forget it... let's go."
It's useless to talk about it now. The strange sound occurs about once every half a minute, and no one seems to hear it except him. But so far, its impact has been nothing more than goosebumps all over Benjamin's body.
Maybe it was a sign, maybe it wasn't as dangerous as imagined... In any case, Benjamin could only summon a bubble, wrap it around himself, and then move on.
Get to that place as soon as possible, and then find a way to leave this seemingly cursed valley.
Regarding how to leave, from the time they came in until now, they didn't find anything resembling an exit. However, Benjamin was carrying the ginkgo leaf with the "power of time and space", so he was still a little unsure.
As long as there are no accidents, everything will be fine.
If it were normal, when Benjamin thought like this in his heart, things might often have some twists and turns. However, this time, there were no accidents.
For about an hour, they encountered nothing except some elemental light groups. There was no sign of anyone from the church, and they were probably lost in this huge valley. And they finally arrived at the place marked with a cross on the map.
"Is this...the place where the battle happened?"
Miles walked a few steps quickly and rounded a narrow bend in the mountain wall ahead. He suddenly stopped and said in a daze.
Benjamin also walked over.
All I could see ahead was an extremely open basin after exiting the bend. A few beams of light cast down from the cloudy sky and onto the devastated land, like silent chasing lights on an empty stage. The black and purple ground is covered with cracks and big pits, and there are even a lot of broken bones. It’s unknown how many years ago they were leftover, scattered around in disorder. Just looking at them from a distance makes me feel an inexplicable feeling in my chest. Feeling of suffocation.
Seeing this, Benjamin and Miles took a deep breath in unison.
They didn't know where this feeling of depression came from, but... it could be seen that there must have been a big battle here in the past.
Benjamin couldn't help but think of the legendary battle between Cain and Abel.
Could it be that this is where they once fought
Just as Benjamin was thinking a lot, suddenly, the strange sound behind his ears sounded again. But this time, after a brief exhalation, a new sentence appeared.
"Phew... you're finally here."
