The secret paths between the mountain peaks were almost completely buried by the wind and snow, and the traces of when Liu Yifei and the others came out had already been traced.
If anyone wants to look for clues from the ground to enter the mountain at this time, he is destined to find nothing.
It's just that for Inheim, who is familiar with everything, finding the way "home" is not difficult.
After previously dealing with the "Patrol Sentinel Team" of the dungeon army, before the enemy's army arrived, the three of them set off again and finally arrived at the "mountain stronghold" that Liu Yifei and the others had seen before when they came out.
This place is said to be a stronghold, but from the outside it looks like nothing more than a strange abandoned magic tower standing in the wilderness.
And this is exactly the case
As for whether there was a magic tower here originally, but it was later used by the devils, or whether it was a deception set up by the devils to cover up the exit of their secret stronghold, it is far from clear.
According to Inheim, when he "took over" this amazing secret stronghold, everything here was what Liu Yifei saw now.
I don’t know if it’s a magical miracle left by the devils, or if everything is just a natural coincidence.
The intensity of the wind and snow here is much more astonishing than that of the outside world. Even the powerful annual icy monsoon known as the "Breath of Ice" is slightly inferior to it.
Liu Yifei hadn't noticed these details when he just came out of the devil's stronghold. Now he went out for a walk and came back to compare...
Damn it!
No wonder he caught a "cold" just after coming out of the stronghold...
However, with the help of Inheim, after applying multiple layers of resistance protection, Liu Yifei and Xue Lan finally managed to withstand the baptism of the blizzard.
Inheim was tinkering in front of the abandoned magic tower for about half an hour. During the slight trembling of the earth, a teleportation circle that looked familiar to Liu Yifei finally lit up on the ground.
After a flash of silver light, the three figures had disappeared into the increasingly fierce blizzard. But perhaps what they would never know was that shortly after the three figures disappeared, two blurry black shadows appeared.
Ordinary "objects" quietly appear where they disappeared.
"They...are they going to the Water Prison? Are they from Amat?"
After a moment of silence, one of the dark figures asked in disbelief.
"It seems correct...but I'm very curious. The method they used to open the door just now was quite sophisticated. With their strength, it doesn't seem like they can control that kind of magic circle."
Another dark figure paused for a moment, then continued:
"But the strange thing is that I don't feel the seeds of chaos from them, let alone Amat's unique sulfurous smell originating from hell demons...
It's not that I don't feel it at all.
When the wizard came out of the soul space of the little toy just now, there was a little fluctuation of chaotic power, but the time was too short and the fluctuation was not obvious. I almost thought it was wrong..."
"You mean...they're not from Amat?"
"At least it's not a direct 'gift'... maybe it's a descendant of the gift developed by Amat or something."
"Then...what should we do about our affairs?
The little toy was broken by them again... Do we need to discuss this matter with Emmat?
We have spent a lot of effort on the little toys, so Amat must give an explanation, right?"
"Hmph, do you expect that traitorous devil to have much patience and talk nonsense with us?
In fact, I am surprised that Emma has not rebelled and returned to the hell camp after so many years. After all, after the war between gods and demons, many great devil lords fell into seals or fell into sleep. If Emma at this time
If Te rebels, we really don’t have much to do with her..."
"What now?"
The black shadow who spoke first asked helplessly.
"Monitor them closely. Tell all our downlines to be extremely careful if their whereabouts are discovered again in the future. Don't easily cause conflicts."
"Where are the little toys?"
"Humph, that loser, even though I've given her such a strong body, she still...
That’s all
Aren't Sphedes's subordinates currently working on that 'Chimera' research experiment in the Tower Clan?
This waste has been debugged several times by us. Although the level has not improved, it is quite accustomed to the adaptability of the soul fusion process. Collect her soul fragments and give them to Sphedes. Maybe he can make some progress there.
maybe."
"Then...Lord Bois, those people just now...should we also go to the water prison to have a look?"
"No need
Since there might be someone like that guy from Amat, we don't need to get involved too much.
The fetal movement of darkness has already started to sound. I believe that it won’t be long before it becomes clear whether they are friends or foes. Why bother guessing now?
Doing what we are doing right now is what we should do most...
But then again, how could we ever have friends?
Alas, this world is really lonely..."
The blizzard became bigger and bigger. Amidst the whistling of the north wind, the conversation between the two strange black figures finally seemed to be absent. In the end, they disappeared as inexplicably as when they appeared, leaving no trace at all in the same place.
None of them were left behind, as if they had never existed in this world...
However, just a few hundred meters away from here, underground, what appeared in front of Xue Lan was a completely different and magnificent scenery!
The vast underground world, the complex buildings and decorative patterns with a slight rococo style, and the rumbling thunder that is like roaring in the ears
Looking at it, the entire underground world is like a paradise hidden outside the world, but it is extremely quiet. Just like a sleeping place in a deep sleep, people can't help but wonder whether they really exist here, or whether they are just in it.
in a strange dream
"That's the waterspout..."
Looking quietly at the giant waterspout in front of him, Xuelan almost lost the ability to speak.
Although I had already learned about the existence of "waterspouts" from conversations with Liu Yifei and video recordings. Even the video recordings clearly recorded this super wonder of the magical world.
However, this is vastly different from immersive appreciation.
When Xue Lan stepped out of the teleported white light, and when her ears were filled with the roar of the waterspout, Xue Lan truly understood the "incomparably small feeling" that Liu Yifei had mentioned before.
Yes
Compared with this magical super wonder, the human body is really too small.
A diameter of hundreds of meters wide, directly connected to the top of the endless void...
Even a giant dragon is as small as a drop in the ocean next to this super waterspout. This has exceeded the limit of human language description. Xue Lan felt shocked! Incomparable shock! She was so shocked that she couldn't believe it. This is actually true.
"Are you surprised? Haha, I was also shocked when I saw it...
Okay. Let’s go there quickly and you’ll know if it’s true or false, and you’ll know if you try it once.”
Under the guidance of Liu Yifei and Inheim, Xue Lan silently watched the magical waterspout. In his heart, he was even more looking forward to the "call" he had felt...
As for why Liu Yifei suddenly decided to come back here, Inheim was actually extremely curious. However, when he asked once before, Liu Yifei only replied that it was "to verify a conjecture" and left it at that. Obviously he didn't want to go into too much detail. So Inheim did not continue to ask.
But what can be sensed is that the purpose of their trip is obviously to let the dark witch named Xuelan in the dungeon "come into contact" with the waterspout...
This is a totally crazy idea!
In short, in Inheim's memory, he remembered that he was also very interested in this waterspout in his "last life"
Although even with his legendary level strength in his previous life, he could not feel obvious power fluctuations from this waterspout, what is certain is that this thing definitely does not move naturally.
There are indeed all kinds of wonders and scenic spots in nature, but the ones in front of you are definitely not normal!
If you want to say that there is no powerful magic involved...then even a three-year-old child would not believe it!
But no matter how Inheim, who was still a lich at the time, tried to investigate, he just couldn't find any mystery.
In the end, Inheim did something fairly "reasonable" and that was to simply go deep into the water and take a look.
But this idea soon proved to be an extremely bad idea!
Although this deep blue seems to be the source of coolness in the underground world. However, after actually coming into contact with it, the remaining impression on Inheim is as hot as a blazing fire!
Damn it
Inheim really didn't expect that even though he was the body of the undead, he could still feel the "scorching, boiling" temperature!
In his shock, Inheim became interested in this magical waterspout, and simply added various elaborate protections to himself in order to force his way deeper.
It's a pity that he failed in the end
As long as he was within three hundred meters of the waterspout, he felt as if he had hit a wall head-on, unable to make any further progress.
And no matter what method Inheim uses: flying, teleportation or counter-summoning, the result is not feasible!
Even after he applied the "Protect of the Underworld" spell with a temporary invincibility effect on himself, he still could not enter the core area of the waterspout...
This almost surprised Inheim, who was a lich at the time!
And Inheim was convinced that even if he regained his peak "legendary power", it would be difficult to break through the "protection" of this waterspout.
So after several days of hard research, Inheim had to give up. To this day, Inheim has been reborn as a skeleton with only spiritual level strength. He still cannot understand what secrets are hidden in this waterspout.
Things that even he had been unable to do...
Naturally, Inheim didn't believe that Liu Yifei and Xue Lan could find out any clues, but since they were coming, Inheim didn't care. Anyway, it wouldn't be troublesome to go to the Jiuxin Empire from here...
"Do you feel anything?"
As the waterspout got closer and closer, Liu Yifei became a little nervous and couldn't help but whisper in the team channel.
"It seems... I really feel like I'm being called again... but... it seems a little different..."
"Ah? What's going on?"
"It's an indescribable feeling... The feeling I had last time at the Wind and Fire Demon Lake was relatively weak, but it was very stable. It felt like someone was whispering softly in my ear, but I couldn't hear it.
Very true, but this time...
It felt like a woman was screaming in pain... It also seemed like an angry roar, intermittent, and very scary... The last time the Storm Goddess gave me a more disturbing feeling
Don’t worry, I feel a little strange this time..."
When he first heard Xue Lan say that he had feelings, Liu Yifei was subconsciously overjoyed!
As long as you feel it, it means you are really in the right place!
This is not easy
There are six seal fragments hidden all over the world, and we were able to find two without any clues... This is simply a lower probability than winning the jackpot of a serial lottery.
However, after listening to Xuelan's careful explanation, Liu Yifei had a strange feeling.
Why... From what Xue Lan means, it seems that he is talking about the Gefei Luoge he met before?
To be honest. Although Liu Yifei met Gefei Luoge again this time and successfully dealt with him without even calling out his bodyguards, the shock that the whole incident brought to him was indescribable.
The dead NPC comes back to life...
This problem is very serious, and the chain reaction caused by it is unimaginably terrifying.
It can be said that the reason why this magical world is extremely "real" and "wonderful" is precisely because the NPCs here do not have the ability to resurrect.
If NPCs could be resurrected, then life and death would be meaningless, and there wouldn’t be so much love, hate, and entanglements. There wouldn’t be so many entanglements and disputes, and there wouldn’t be countless stories buried under historical lies.
the truth.
Just like Inheim next to you.
If Edela had somehow resurrected from the dead at that time, would he have gone deviant or even reincarnated into the undead in the future?
Will there still be his journey to the Lich and the great changes in the Kingdom of Dickwell?
Naturally, there is no such thing as the death of King Solna and the succession of Thoradre.
In this way, even if Liu Yifei was favored by the old vampire, he would only recommend him to King Solna. But he would not be as caring and considerate as he is now.
If the history and disputes between early NPCs have nothing to do with players, then today, nearly a year after the game has been launched, too many changes have taken place.
Unknowingly, the world and relationships of NPCs have had too many interactions with players. If NPCs suddenly start to be able to resurrect from the dead at this time...
The related changes caused by that are too many, even enough to subvert the world!
If NPCs can't be resurrected naturally...then who resurrected Gfelrog?
A high-level NPC in the dungeon?
possible
After all, there are indeed magicians who are proficient in "reincarnation" in the dungeon, and Liu Yifei did not destroy the opponent's body after he defeated Gefeilog last time...
But who resurrected her?
What is the purpose of resurrection?
besides!
Why does Gefelog possess the power of chaos?
If the previous resurrection problem was still a "small problem", then this problem with the power of chaos is an absolute "big problem"!
Now Liu Yifei has been able to confirm that there are absolutely very few people in this world who have the "power of chaos", and the most powerful among them is naturally the demon clan that has "disappeared"!
But the example of the dwarf tribe in the Lament Mountains is right in front of us, and this time another Gefirog appears, which inevitably makes Liu Yifei murmur in his heart.
Fortunately, it was discovered early the previous time, but even so, Heiya spent a lot of energy in the end.
Not only did Thoradre's elite troops come out, what's even more terrible is that the entire battle involved four legendary level beings and more than a dozen legendary level beings!
Even so, in the end it was just a "sealing" of a legendary-level devil who accidentally escaped...
This shows how much chaos the devils and their powers of chaos can cause.
If there is a shadow of the devil behind Gfelrog...
Liu Yifei simply couldn’t imagine it!
Because there are simply too many "loopholes" in this super battle between camps!
If there is a devil secretly taking advantage of the war between the two clans to secretly increase his power...
Liu Yifei felt a chill in his heart. He secretly prayed that his guess would never come true.
"careful!"
Liu Yifei was lost in thought when a sudden exclamation came from his ears!
He suddenly felt his body tilt and he fell forward involuntarily. At this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from beside him and grasped Liu Yifei's shoulder tightly.
"oops"
With a strong force coming from the hand bone, Liu Yifei was forcefully "lifted" back. When he looked back, he found that it was Inheim who had just pulled him.
"Liuyun, what's wrong with you?"
Xue Lan next to him also had a surprised and confused expression on his face. He didn't know why Liu Yifei had just deserted and almost fell into the waterspout lake.
Liu Yifei turned around and looked forward...
Good guy!
It turned out that before they knew it, they had reached the edge of the underground lake.
At this moment, the super waterspout was roaring and rolling hundreds of meters in front of them. Just now, Liu Yifei himself almost fell into the lake by accident.
"Uh...hehe, sorry, sorry
I was distracted thinking about other things and didn't pay attention for a moment.
Thank you”
Liu Yifei turned around and said thank you to Inheim, but Inheim didn't say much. He just told him to be careful, saying that the feeling of entering the lake was unpleasant and so on.
"By the way, how are you? Do you feel clearer?"
Liu Yifei suddenly thought of Xue Lan's question again and asked quickly.
"Well, I'm pretty sure that the situation here has been found. Now the roar of the waterspout that I hear is clearly mixed with the angry roar of a woman, which is indeed very similar to the voice of the Storm Goddess that I heard before.
,but......"
"What happened again?"
"But this voice is very strange. It keeps repeating the same words. It's just those few words that are repeated over and over again. It doesn't look like a real person is saying it."
Xue Lan frowned and said strangely.
"Wait a minute. What are you talking about? The Storm Goddess? You are talking about... the Storm Goddess 'Ephros'? Why do you mention her?"
Liu Yifei and Xue Lan were so excited about talking that they forgot to communicate through the team channel for a moment. When they heard the name "Storm Goddess" mentioned in their communication, Inheim next to them was instantly startled.
"Um...this...hehe
It’s nothing, just a casual chat.”
Liu Yifei scratched his head feeling guilty and tried to cover it up lightly.
"Master Liuyun, I have never interfered with your personal behavior. Even if it is within the scope of my ability, I will cooperate as much as possible.
I believe that you should be able to appreciate my sincerity in cooperating with you during these days.
But you obviously still have many secrets for me
Of course, your secret has nothing to do with me, so I shouldn’t ask too much...
But my lord!
If it is a question related to God, I suggest you communicate with me more.
This is not my boast
After all, since the war between gods and demons, the gods have stayed away from the main material world and have returned to their own kingdoms. The contact between mortals and gods has become less and less, and there are more and more beings in the mortal world who can rekindle the divine fire.
It is rare, so I can say that I am one of the few beings in this world who still understands the gods.
Sir, please listen to my advice. You must think twice before taking action on anything related to the gods. Never listen to their one-sided words!
God...
To put it simply, they are a group of guys who are difficult to deal with, and they have no secular concepts of good and evil. As long as they can achieve their goals, they will do whatever it takes, even to the death of their own followers!
Although the gods attach great importance to their 'believers', and sometimes send oracles to launch wars due to issues of faith. However, 'believers' are not something they care much about.
To them, 'believers' are nothing more than consumables. Even the most noble so-called 'disciples of God' have examples in history where they were eventually killed by the gods they followed...
.
Master Liuyun
I just heard you mention the name of the Storm Goddess ‘Ephros’. If it’s anything to do with her... be careful!”
The soul fire in Inheim's eyes was beating violently, but his voice was extremely serious.
"Um... Lord Inheim, what do you mean... this storm goddess is very dangerous?"
"Exactly so
The 'history' of this storm goddess is no secret in our turbulent times.
She was originally a mortal and one of the natives of this new world.
When the immigrants from the eight tribes of the Alliance came to this new world, they unexpectedly integrated into the Tower tribe.
She is a very special being, with powerful magical talents. However, the tribe she comes from is not proficient in the mastery of magic, and the tribe has not received blessings from the gods, so the entire technological level is very backward.
During the time she was studying in the Tower Clan, she had enough space to grow, and then quickly became a genius.
It was only after she achieved success in her studies that she decisively betrayed the Tower Clan and joined a 'Godly People Team'.
The so-called ‘divine people’ are actually a guerrilla force composed of the indigenous inhabitants of this world to fight against the eight tribes of the Alliance.
They claim to follow the guidance of God. In the name of God, they fight to the death against the invaders from other worlds, that is, the eight tribes of the alliance.
It was not until the war between gods and demons broke out that this team was gradually absorbed by the eight tribes of the alliance, and eventually became a powerful mobile force on the battlefield!
The reason why they are extremely powerful is because they have really been favored by the local gods. They have received extremely powerful blessings from gods!
And this 'Everos' was 'favored' by the storm god of the previous generation.
What happened after that was too complicated, but the result was very unexpected!
In those chaotic and turbulent crazy years, many gods fell, and more than half of the gods turned into mortal dust in that super war.
But there are definitely not many gods killed by mortals!
And when it comes to 'mortals who have successfully devoured gods', there is no one other than Her Highness 'Everos'!
She swallowed the power and priesthood of the previous storm god. As for how she did it... no one knows
But when she reappeared in the world, she was already a new generation of "Storm Goddess"
And for some reason, this storm goddess is extremely ruthless and decisive in attacking the devil. She is often on the front line of the battle with the devil!
And the fronts she participates in are never safe, no matter whether they win or lose. The alliance's losses are always extremely heavy!
The big problem here is that the army was either killed by the enemy or by this violent "Storm Goddess"!
Perhaps the killing and power of this storm goddess aroused the fear of the devils. In short, the devils finally designed an ambush against the new storm goddess.
The result of the ambush was that all followers of the Storm Goddess were wiped out, and her whereabouts were unknown.
There are rumors that the Storm Goddess died in that battle, and some say she was imprisoned by the devil.
No matter what the truth is, she has not been seen since then...until today."
"Um...so Lord Inheim, what you are saying is...that this Storm Goddess may be a hard-hearted guy, or even more ruthless, please let us have less to do with each other?"
"Lord Bu Liuyun
In fact, all gods are no longer simply hard-hearted.
These are all used to describe mortals, and they are not accurate enough to describe gods.
To put it bluntly, the gods are a group of ultimate beings with no desires and desires. Their only pursuit in their infinite lives is to obtain more power, destroy the other gods, and possess more power. That's it.
If you cooperate with the gods properly, you can indeed gain great power, but you must be cautious in this cooperation, because if you are not careful, you may be abandoned or even erased by the other party.
And as for this storm goddess... humph
It can only be said that her methods are more explicit, if you want to say..."
"It's not good!"
Liu Yifei and Inheim were talking here, and Xue Lan, who was listening carefully and frowning, suddenly exclaimed, and then flew straight up!
The change happened so suddenly that Liu Yifei and the others had no time to react. When they subconsciously turned their heads to look, Xue Lan's whole body began to emit a faint green light...like emerald!
At the same time, in addition to the huge roar of the waterspout, another strange sound suddenly sounded in the entire underground space!
It sounded like the roar of the wind at first, but it was as deep and menacing as thunder!
Just when the three of them were a little at a loss, suddenly, there was a thunderous roar on the ground! Liu Yifei and the others turned around and saw that the super waterspout that had been normal just now had turned blue-white at some point, like a
The silver-white water dragon shuttles through the infinite dark space, rushing out from the dragon's cave in the abyss, trying to break free from the invisible shackles and break through the shackles of the underground dome!
Looking at the inexplicable changes happening in front of his eyes, Liu Yifei was almost speechless. Such a magnificent and amazing magical scene was beyond human imagination. He could only silently turn on the camera wizard and murmured at the same time:
