Arthur was quite regretful and lucky to not wake up in the "passage" this time.
After all, the ongoing "saving the world" is not very realistic. Alduin and his minions are currently quite weak, and all he has to do is to prevent the other party's plan that will destroy the world if it goes smoothly at the initial stage.
interrupt.
In contrast, it is more fulfilling to save a friend who is clearly in danger of death in the cracks of time, even if she does not know it herself.
These random thoughts only happened for a moment. When he found that he was in the air after passing through the "whirlpool" and began to fall downward, Arthur had to quickly find a countermeasure.
There is no sun, moon or stars in the "sky" above. There is only a huge and narrow "wound" that is faintly shining with white light, as if it has been torn apart by some weapon.
Below, everything as far as the eye can see is covered with thick white fog, so it is difficult to see the specific situation on the ground. It may be flat land or an abyss.
Phew—just when Arthur was considering whether to transform into a dragon, his body suddenly became light and his falling speed slowed down instantly.
"Don't act rashly," Zella Pesh, who appeared next to him, also used a slow-fall spell for himself, keeping the height roughly equal to Arthur, and then said: "This place is different from Cold Harbor. If everyone is lost in the fog,
It will be difficult to reunite if you are inside."
"Everyone?" Arthur looked around with confusion.
Huh-huh-the figures of Emil, Lydia and Sophie appeared beside him out of thin air, and then Zella quickly used slow-falling spells to stabilize their falling speed.
"I was supposed to be the first one to pass through as a time and space anchor, but something seems to have gone wrong." She casually arranged Emil's somewhat disheveled hair, then turned around and pushed Sophie to Arthur: "Yours
Why is the weight of time and space greater than mine?"
"Can I say that I didn't understand what you were talking about at all?" Arthur spread his hands and took Sophie. Since she didn't face Alduin directly, it didn't matter that she didn't need to turn into a dragon.
"I don't understand either. I'm just repeating... nouns from the book." Zella imitated him and spread her hands, but it was completely different from: "Anyway, we are about to enter a heavy fog. Everyone, please move closer."
"Woof woof woof! He's going to die, he's going to die!" Babas appeared from high in the sky, and then spiraled down. Arthur's quick eyesight and hands quickly caught the native dog.
The next moment, everyone sank into endless fog.
——20:04——
If the phenomenon of clouds or fog is not so dense and exaggerated, it is impossible to reach the level of "all white in front of you" or "you can't see your fingers". In most cases, it will only gradually shrink according to its concentration.
It’s just within the user’s visual range.
As for the fog that shrouds the entire "Songgard", its internal visual range is about ten meters, which is enough for people trapped in it to cope with most situations.
However, what surprised Arthur was that although the visual range near the surface was very small, the "wound" in the sky and the light it emitted were still clearly visible, and there was no need to light torches or use lighting spells.
"Um...Henmark of the Sky? Nico Niconi?" Zella muttered two words that were inexplicably like a spell, then completely ignored it.
"Baron, there are enemies approaching."
With the help of the slow landing technique, everyone successfully landed in a small forest, but before they had time to carefully observe the surrounding environment, Lydia had already raised her shield and stood in front of the team.
"Oh?" Arthur put Sophie down, unsheathed his sword, and looked at the position where Lydia warned. Since this is Sognard, of course the enemies are undead. You should use the "Sword of Oath and Victory" to deal with them.
There are great advantages.
Then, a snow leopard, two elk, a mountain boar, three frost spiders, five snow wolves, and a huge white bear walked out of the woods, their eyes all shining with flaming red light.
"This..." Arthur was surprised, not because they were too strong, or because these animals were mixed together without fighting, but because they were obviously the animals he killed after the Helgen incident.
"Sophie can eat them?" the little girl grabbed Arthur's armor.
"No...not until daddy has carefully inspected them." Arthur patted her little head.
"Wow! Strange, why are all these guys' hostility directed at you, Arthur?" Babas' keen perception verified Arthur's guess.
"Maybe it's because I was a hunter before I became a baron?" Arthur temporarily suppressed his suspicion, sheathed his sword, then folded his hands and summoned an elf longbow glowing with purple light out of thin air.
"The spell model is too crude and will not last long." The chief mage of Winterhold commented on the side.
"No way, the two-handed sword is completely unsuitable for dealing with those fast-moving wild animals...well, probably wild animals." Arthur drew his bow and arrow, and first nailed all three frost spiders to death with a three-star chain.
Then, Emil, who disappeared when Lydia said "there is an enemy", appeared behind the snow leopard, and cut its throat with a flash of a jet-black dagger.
Tsk——sand——
Contrary to expectations, the spider and snow leopard did not fall to the ground after being killed. The red light in their eyes disappeared after suffering fatal injuries, but their bodies remained in the same posture as before death and were directly turned into ashes and scattered.
"Ah..." Sophie's eyes widened, as if she saw someone wasting food in front of her.
Why is it so like the way vampires die? Why can't they see their "death" at all? Moreover, what are the blue fire in the eyes of ghouls and other undead, the yellow fire in the eyes of vampires, and the red fire in the eyes of "creatures" in this world?
Relationship? Finally, if they are really the wild animals that I once killed, doesn’t it mean...
"Ouch!!" "Boom!" The sound of fangs and shields colliding recalled Arthur, who was slightly distracted. Only then did he realize that the wild boar had taken the opportunity to rush over, but Lydia held up his shield to stop him.
It doesn't look like an ordinary wild boar at all.
Just like Barbas said, the attack targets of these beasts are all Arthur. Even if Emil did not become invisible or sneak and killed the snow leopard in front of them, their next move was still to pounce directly because they used
With his skill of continuous arrows, he cannot attack again in a short period of time.
Wild boars and snow bears attacked head-on, while snow wolves and elk took advantage of their speed to circle around the team looking for opportunities.
"Woof woof woof!" Although it seemed to have been strengthened in different aspects, the deer was still a deer. Babas chased the two deer very happily and bit them "to death". After the light in their eyes was extinguished, they also turned into
ash.
There is no time for hesitation and hesitation now! Arthur suddenly threw away the "summoning bow", gently pushed Sophie away, then picked up the golden sword and rushed towards the two large animals that were hitting Lydia's shield: "Zera!
Amy! I’ll leave those wolves to you!”
"Tsk - Emil?" Zera sighed deeply, and as she sighed, a ring of frost spread out, freezing the snow wolves in place without affecting the white bears and wild boars in front of them.
"...Completed." Emil's figure appeared continuously behind several wolves like flickers. When she returned to Zera, the heads of those snow wolves had just taken off and turned into ashes in the next second.
"Ah..." Sophie's expression became increasingly sad.
"Be good, I'll give this to you~" The female mage took out two donuts from nowhere and gave them to the little princess who came to take credit and Sophie, who seemed to be about to cry.
Although they may think this is a fuss and a waste of time, it is still a very necessary investigation. After avoiding dozens of attacks from wild boars and white bears, and trying to be hit by them several times, Arthur finally swung his sword.
Cut the two giant beasts into ashes.
The conclusion of the investigation is that the physical fitness of these "ash creatures" has been greatly enhanced, and their strength and speed have also been significantly improved. In contrast, their physical fitness and defense have been weakened to the same extent. Moreover, they are neither undead nor demons, and cannot inspire
The long sword's special abilities.
For example, it is impossible for Arthur's demon armor to be left with traces by the tusks of a mere wild boar, but every time he is picked by this "ash boar", there will be a dent, and a normal giant snow bear will also have a dent.
It is impossible to be struck to death by the "Sword of Oath and Victory" that does not activate special abilities.
"This 'Songard' is completely different from the legend." Even after the battle, Arthur did not put away his weapons, but assumed a vigilant posture: "We must find a safe place, at least leave this forest."
"Then? Just go along this road?" Zella pointed to a forest path that had been neglected because it was caught in a fight when they first arrived.
"If there is a road, it means that someone has walked on it, but if they become like these animals...can they still be considered human beings?" Lydia expressed Arthur's same concern.
"If you don't know how to deal with it, just leave it to Sophie to eat." Babas said irresponsibly.
"No, you can't give Sophie something of unknown origin." Arthur flatly refused.
"Sophie hates daddy!" the little girl stuck her head out from behind Zella and shouted, and then continued to share snacks with Emil.
"Well..." Arthur would naturally not be hit by the little girl's angry words, but after thinking about it carefully, Sophie was indeed safer staying with Zella than with him, so he made a helpless expression and raised his sword.
First, walk forward along the forest path.
Due to the appearance of these "ash creatures", Arthur cannot be sure whether the environment of "Songgard" is the same as that of the main world, but at least common sense should not be too different. For example, this kind of path that is not an animal path belongs to the "ranger".
This is the job that his adoptive father was once responsible for. According to observations, this trail is often walked by people, so the "Ranger's Cabin" should be nearby.
