Chapter 177: Battle of the Canyon (Part 1)(1/2)
Scene 177: Battle of the Canyon (Part 1)
The strong wind blew across the cliff like a knife.
After going deep into the ancient isthmus, the wind passing through the valley became stronger and stronger; strangely, the wind did not blow away the clouds and mist, but white mist often appeared together with the strong wind, swallowing clouds and mist, flying sand and rocks, and making the canyon
Visibility becomes extremely low.
On the one hand, this situation helps Brando and his team avoid Andesa's tracking, but on the other hand, it also makes trekking in the valley an increasingly difficult task.
Brando clung to a protruding rock with his hand. The strong wind made him squint his eyes. He turned around and handed his hand to Qian who climbed up below.
He sent Akane to the platform, and then Faina. On the other side, Veronica also climbed up with the help of Morpheus.
Finally, Brando also climbed up against the wind.
"Ahead is the legendary storm circle. According to legend, no one can cross the wall made of strong winds," Veronica said in the wind with one hand on her blue sky.
She turned back and looked at Brando with her emerald eyes: "What are you going to do, little guy?"
Although the goddess of war of the Cruz people still looks weak, she seems to be in good spirits.
Brando climbed up to the platform, where the valley was divided into two. On the other side of the platform was an unfathomable canyon; the dark granite was broken from the middle, and the fracture was smooth and flat, as if a huge gap had opened in the earth.
.
The strong wind continues all day long along the direction of the crack, and the airflow is weaving white lines, like ocean currents hanging in mid-air, always moving in one direction.
The lair of the Saint Hydra is below——
This spectacular sight made Brando speechless for a moment, and then he turned around and replied: "The way through the storm circle is through the underground. In the past hundred years, the Druids have invested countless manpower and material resources to enter here, just to find out
That passage."
"Did they find it?"
Brando shook his head.
"So you know?" Veronica looked up at him and asked.
"I have read records in an ancient document, it should be nearby." Ancient documents are habitually shot, and Brando has the tendency to develop this excuse into a potential fact; he looked around and saw the underground passage.
The entrance is under this bottomless rift, but getting down is not an easy task.
At this time, Brando found Qian looking at his wrist with a strange expression.
He immediately became embarrassed and couldn't help but touch the tooth mark on his wrist; but he really didn't know how to explain it - or was it not actually some kind of hand kiss?
"But damn it, it turns out that paying for life can't be withdrawn automatically!"
The strange thing is that the timing of Akane's waking up was too clever. Brando had a headache, but he turned back to look at Morpheus. The damn cross-dressing vampire only turned his face to one side.
"Well... Well, we have to go down from here," Brando changed the subject clumsily: "It seems a bit difficult. I'm not sure if there is a way to go down."
"Go down from here?"
This was the first time the noble daughter of the Cruz people spoke since she woke up. She seemed to wake up from her depression, frowning and raising her eyebrows high.
Faina glanced at the pitch-black abyss below, her face a little pale.
"It's too, too whimsical!?"
"This is indeed true for the spoiled, weak and incompetent young lady."
Morpheus answered quickly and at an unexpected speed.
He looked expressionlessly at Faina, who was staring at him with an incredulous expression: "So, please don't question the master's decision at will -"
"you!"
"Okay, Faina." Veronica interrupted them: "Since there are ancient documents mentioning that passage, it means that there may be a way down, so let's look for it."
"Sorry, there is no such ancient document!"
Brando cursed in his heart.
However, he did think of a possibility. The player who entered the Ring of Trade Winds was not half as strong as he is now. The other player obviously couldn't climb down the cliff, which meant that there was indeed a road somewhere on the cliff.
But before that, Brando drew a card in his hand from the deck of the planeswalker system, which was the Holy Sword.
This made him frown. He originally hoped that it would be a silver pony, so that he could send everyone down to the valley in just three trips. Unfortunately, it backfired.
Since leaving the Holy White Stone, time has passed by almost three stages. However, he only drew the Holy Archangel, the Golden Battle Flag and this Holy Sword card.
In addition to his original hand cards, Blood Seat Vampire, Sylph Spider, Holy Sword, Efreet, Parallel Dash, Energy Drain and Fire Claw Trumpeter.
Among them, the Blood Vampire and the Sylph Spider are still on the field. The Holy Sword was originally consumed but is now back in the hand. The Fire Djinn has entered the cemetery during the battle with Amman. In addition, there are also others in the cemetery.
Lord of Fire Claw.
Energy Drain was used against the male wolf and shuffled back into the card library. Fireclaw Trumpeter and Spearman should still be on the field, but they should be with Antitina at this moment.
Except for the Sylph Spider that was reset on the first night, Brando had not had time to reset any other cards; he had several opportunities to reset, but missed it because he was unconscious.
"Andesa is down there." At this moment, Akane suddenly whispered.
Brando was stunned when he heard this. He looked over and saw that the woman was catching up along the valley. But it seemed that the other party hadn't noticed them yet. There was a strong wind in the valley. From below, only the wind, sand and clouds could be seen above.
.
However, Andesa's speed still made Brando gasp. You must know that the woman did not know the correct path. She tracked them all the way and was only one step behind.
This difference in strength is a bit ridiculous.
Brando hurriedly lowered his body and gestured to the others, asking them to lie flat on the rocks. Then he turned back and whispered: "No matter whether there is a road or not, we have to go."
"That woman..." Faina seemed to remember what happened before and couldn't help but tremble. She clenched her hands so tightly that her knuckles turned white without even realizing it.
Brando immediately gave a gesture to Medphis and asked him to pull the rich lady back. At the same time, he led Veronica and Qian back carefully. He made gestures and told others:
"We're going to walk along the cliff and see if we can find the road."
Veronica and Akane both nodded.
But what no one expected was that when Morpheus was helping Faina up, the latter seemed to be frightened and her feet were weak.
"Be careful!" Brando's expression changed and he shouted.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Morpheus grabbed Faina's ankles and let the girl hang upside down in the air. Although the strength of the vampire crossdresser was so strong that the noble daughter almost shed tears in pain, but at least she was able to hold Faina before she almost slipped down.
She caught it.
Faina bit her lip tightly to prevent herself from screaming. She raised her head with a pale face and watched a piece of stone rolling down in that direction, making a sputtering sound.
Several people froze on the cliff for a while.
Brando looked solemnly in Andesa's direction, but fortunately, there was a strong wind in the valley, and Andesa didn't seem to notice any changes in this direction.
"help me……"
The noble daughter was obviously frightened. One of her feet was held upside down by Morpheus, and she was dangling on the cliff. Not even a man could bear this situation, let alone Faina, who had never experienced anything like this.
situation.
Looking at her, she looked like she was about to cry at any moment.
Brando couldn't help but glance at Veronica. He really couldn't figure out why the Imperial Goddess of War, who was known for her calmness and foresight, would bring along a useless noble lady.
This is a rather euphemistic way of saying it. In fact, the effect Faina has brought to Veronica so far is all negative.
Veronica sighed.
What could she say? It wasn't her idea. It was Elman's own decision. Besides, Elman and Faina were both children of big families and were not directly subordinate to her, so she couldn't say much.
Looking at the look on the female war goddess's face, Brando understood that the empire was not monolithic. Otherwise, such an important matter would not have sent out a team to restrain each other.
But this is pretty good, at least compared to Eruin.
He immediately nodded to Morpheus and motioned to the latter to pull the eldest lady up - although he wanted to motion the latter to just throw her down, but considering that, he was afraid that Veronica would immediately end up with her.
He drew his sword and faced it.
Morpheus followed his words and pulled Faina up little by little. But at this moment, several people on the platform had no time to breathe a sigh of relief, and the next moment.
Brando stared dumbfounded as the short sword on Faina's belt slipped out of the scabbard——
The dagger slowly fell.
At that moment, time seemed to be stretched.
Everyone saw the sword falling slowly, then hitting a protruding rock, bouncing to the side, continuing to fall, and then hitting multiple times.
Finally, a series of crisp metal collision sounds spread far to the bottom of the valley.
The platform was so quiet for a moment that you could almost hear a pin drop.
Andesa stopped in the distance.
Then the woman suddenly raised her head in this direction - although she did not see the people on the cliff, her purple eyebrows raised, and she seemed to have determined the direction of Brando and his party.
Countless vines instantly surged out from behind Andesa and surrounded her forward, and then she turned into a dark green dragon, suddenly speeding up and galloping in this direction.
The rugged terrain posed almost no obstacle under Andesa's feet. The woman walked on the steep cliffs as if on flat ground, and the distance between her and them was shortened in an instant.
"Run!" Brando was the first to react - he knew in his heart that Andesa had discovered them - if she couldn't even catch this movement, then she was not worthy of becoming the Twelve Patriarchs of the Tree Shepherds.
