Lightning burst out from the dark clouds and struck the top of Black Rock Mountain not far away. After the explosion, countless rubbles rolled down from the peak.
The cold wind carried moist water vapor, and the hail in the heavy rain fell from the sky. The hail smashed into pieces on the stone wall, and the temperature instantly dropped to freezing point. Surdak hid in the depression of the mountain wall. He couldn't lie down here at all, so he could only
Sitting on a stone ledge with his back against the stone wall.
Standing on a 100-meter-high cliff, Suldak's body only needs to tilt forward a little, and he may fall off the cliff.
Suldak held up Goethe's shield with both hands, and crackling hailstones hit the shield.
All the clothes on his body were soaked. It was impossible for ordinary people to survive in this deserted place.
Surdak has been walking in the Black Rock Ridge for seven days, but he still has not left the dark mountains. The hell mantis predators behind him have already begun to try to hunt together. Surdak is mentally exhausted to the extreme. If he hadn't been promoted the day before yesterday, that battle would have happened.
Fighting may be that Surdak is already lying in this mountain.
in the cold rain,
On a lonely cliff,
Surdak was extremely sleepy in the face of adversity. At this time, the summoning circle finally appeared behind him, and a door to the void gradually lit up from the cliff. Surdak walked in with his shield in great embarrassment.
Surdak stumbled out of the warm lava pool in the mine. His body was stiff from the ice and rain. He dragged his exhausted body and fell onto a wicker chair. Surdak fell into a deep sleep.
passed.
Aphrodite was wearing a black robe and squatted next to the wicker chair. While Surdak was sleeping, she took off his Isenhard magic pattern structure covered with ice and placed it neatly beside the lava pool for baking.
, he also took off all the wet clothes and pants on his body, then wrapped him in a dry blanket and let him lie down on the wicker chair for a good sleep.
In the past few days, Aphrodite has been paying attention to Surdak's situation, and she also knew that he had reached the critical point of breakthrough, so she deliberately made him suffer some hardships there, and never responded to his call.
It was as if the battlefield had cut off the spiritual connection between the two.
Of course, Aphrodite did this partly to punish Surdak. After all, when he was lying on the soft and comfortable bed with his two newlywed wives in his arms, Aphrodite could only squat by the lava pool and pick up his feet.
He smashed the rocks on the side and hit the salamander that kept popping up inside.
"Now you know who is the best and most useful to you, right?"
Aphrodite sat next to the wicker chair and reached out to touch Surdak's forehead.
His body has two restorative buffing effects, 'Blessed Body' and 'Earth Nourishment', so there is nothing wrong with his physical condition. He is just extremely mentally exhausted and needs adequate sleep.
When I woke up, I smelled the delicious smell of grilled lizard meat.
Surdak wanted to turn over, only to find that his hands were bound by the blanket. He reluctantly sat up from the wicker chair, and then asked Aphrodite, who was squatting next to the fire beside the lava pool and grilling meat:
"Um, how long have I been asleep?"
Aphrodite turned around, handed over a piece of salamander meat roasted on a wooden stick, and said to Surdak:
"In about ten hours, if you don't wake up, I'm going to wake you up. The summoning circle can last for that long. If you want to continue sleeping, you have to go back there at least once."
Suldak sat on the wicker chair, put on the dry shirt prepared next to him, then took the hot barbecue and started to take a big bite.
There was a cup of fresh lizard blood in the cup next to it. Suldak felt his mouth was a little dry, so he drank it in one gulp without paying attention to what was in the cup.
Then he put on the pieces of Isenhard's magic patterns from the side of the lava pool, looked at the gaping hole in his chest, and smiled awkwardly at Aphrodite.
The injuries on his body had fully recovered, and Surdak felt that the power of Holy Light in his body was also filling up, and he threw a Holy Light spell to himself.
I touched my ribs and felt that several ribs had been reconnected and most of the wounds had healed.
"I've had enough sleep. I'll go back when I'm full. The battlefield is still quite dangerous. I met a lot of hell mantises along the way. Do you have any good suggestions?"
"These predators are greedy, and they usually act more cautiously. They will not attack unless they are sure of killing. Although greed is their weakness, their greater weakness is their caution. As long as you use forceful means
Kill a few praying mantises and they will not dare to come near you again!" Aphrodite handed a glass of pomegranate juice to Surdak and said to him.
Although lizard blood is very nourishing, the smell is also very fishy. Drinking a glass of pomegranate juice can just suppress the fishy smell.
"Why did you meet the Hell Mantis on the battlefield?" Aphrodite asked pretending to be interested.
"Yes, they kept chasing me and made me exhausted." After Suldak ate the roasted lizard meat, he put the stick aside and began to make preparations before leaving.
The succubus Aphrodite walked up boldly, straightened her chest and pressed it against Surdak's chest, put her arms around his neck and asked softly: "Then why didn't you call me?"
"Maybe it's because it's too far away from here, and there's turbulence in time and space, so I can hardly sense you."
Suldak stretched out his hand to push away the bangs from Aphrodite's forehead, pinched her smooth face, and then said: "Okay, I'm leaving. You should also have a good rest!"
After saying that, he broke free from Aphrodite's hands, summoned the magic circle and the Void Gate at his feet, and Surdak stepped into the battlefield in one step.
Aphrodite also pouted her lips in dissatisfaction and sighed secretly.
The heavy rain and hail on Black Rock Mountain has completely stopped. The mountain walls are still a little wet at this time, and water is constantly dripping from the cracks in the rocks.
Surdak reappeared in the depression of the mountain wall. As soon as he walked out, he clasped his hands on the cliff. At this moment, he seemed to be in a mist. Waves of mist were blown over by the wind, and the coldness almost penetrated into his bones.
inside.
Surdak carefully identified the surrounding scenery, redetermined the direction, and continued on the road.
Along the way, he was also thinking about the tips given by Aphrodite, and wanted to find a place where he could ambush the pursuers behind him.
Not long after Suldak left the depression in the mountain wall, a hell mantis followed the scent and arrived at the depression in the mountain wall. It flapped its wings excitedly and finally found traces of blood food again.
It chased forward along the smell, and finally saw Surdak with his hands and feet clinging to the mountain wall on the mountain wall not far away.
Climbing up the mountain wall like this, the hell mantis felt like a piece of delicious fat lying on the chopping board.
The surrounding fog hid its figure very well, and it spread its wings silently and approached Surdak.
