The cliff road is very narrow and difficult for carriages to pass, but it can be ridden alone.
Oliver felt it was too hard to move forward on foot, so he unloaded one of his horses, but he didn't bother to worry about how the other three "guests" walked.
Today's weather is worse than imagined. The fog has almost spread throughout the depths of the canyon. Standing on the edge of the cliff, not only can't you see the bottom, but you can't even see the road ahead in the distance.
Oliver rode ahead. The canyon was very quiet, and the loudest sound was the sound of the horse's hooves.
There was no way to see the bottom, no way to know what it was that frightened the Valentines, and after a quarter of an hour Elrod couldn't help but start complaining.
"Look, I don't think this is a good idea. Maybe we should go back and make a new plan and then come back. I mean back to Renekton."
"We are very close to Rilcui. As long as we can cross the canyon...it is impossible to retreat now." Amanda folded her arms in front of her chest and said without looking back.
"We have no idea what's waiting ahead... If William had told me the truth from the beginning, I could have been prepared."
"There is nothing to prepare. Our enemies will not sit still and wait to be killed..."
After Amanda finished speaking, she suddenly stopped and did not move forward.
She shouted loudly to Oliver in front: "Can you wait a moment?"
No one knew why Amanda stopped here. She seemed to have noticed something strange.
However, Oliver in front seemed not to hear and kept walking ahead.
"Oliver! Wait!"
Amanda called out to the other party again, but in the next second, Oliver suddenly kicked the horse's belly, and the horse roared in pain and sped forward quickly, leaving Victor and the others far behind.
Until it disappears into the fog.
"Damn it!"
Amanda cursed, so the three of them chased forward. Just after running a few steps, a roaring sound suddenly came from above their heads.
A huge rock rolled down and hit the three of them in a dangerous situation.
The ground shook for a while, and it felt like the road was about to collapse.
Victor looked up and seemed to see a few stiff figures shaking on the top of the mountain, and then several falling rocks of different shapes rolled down the mountain wall, obviously meant to hit them!
Those stones didn't look big from a distance, but when they rolled down on top of their heads, they realized their size was astonishing. One stone even collapsed the path they were on, and the ground shook as if an earthquake was coming.
"Get out of the way!" Amanda stared at the rolling rocks and shouted to her two companions.
But at this time, Elode made a move that they didn't expect at all.
I saw him first apologize and say: "I'm sorry Amanda, I will try my best to bring reinforcements."
As soon as he said this, Elold tightened his collar and called out a name: "Bekin Catlin!"
Victor was taking cover by the rock wall. When he heard the name, he immediately remembered that wasn't she the female conductor in the ticket hall of Renekton Railway Station?
Just when he remembered the appearance of the woman, before her face was clear, Victor saw Elode fly out!
He was like a cannonball, rushing into the sky and flying to the west at a staggering speed!
Only then did Victor realize that Elold had actually used the messenger's ability on himself, turned his own body into an object, and sent it to the recipient, the conductor at the train station!
"What the hell? Can you still play like this?"
Victor was shocked and watched helplessly as Elrod escaped from the danger zone in an instant, and he escaped alone first.
You are worthy of being an elite agent of the Ministry of Defense and Suppression! When disaster strikes, they fly separately, and when they find a dangerous situation that cannot be solved, they immediately choose to leave the mission.
In addition to being surprised, the danger faced by Victor himself is still increasing.
He does not have Elode's ability to throw himself out. Although he is blessed with a golden spell, it is not safe, because the impact of falling rocks is likely to knock Victor off the cliff, which will be harmful to him.
Causes secondary or even tertiary damage.
So, Victor drew another yang talisman for himself and kept looking for a foothold to avoid the falling rocks.
Huge boulders rolled down the cliff one after another. This was definitely not a natural landslide. Someone must have been pushing those rocks down.
The rocks destroyed the road in front and behind, blocking Victor in the middle, leaving no way for him to survive.
"Where's Amanda? That woman isn't dead, is she?"
Victor didn't see where Amanda was, and his first thought was that she had been hit by a falling rock and rolled down the cliff.
Under such a tense situation, Victor raised his hand to do fortune-telling and came up with a hexagram and the three numbers in the hexagram.
Those numbers can represent three directions, pointing to safe locations, and Victor is very familiar with them.
So, he quickly hid at the location represented by the first number. There was a corner, which happened to be the blind spot where the rock fell. He could stand on the side of the mountain to avoid it.
But as soon as he moved over, something suddenly flew over and exploded above his head. He didn't have time to see clearly who threw the explosive, and rubble fell like raindrops all over his head.
Victor ran out quickly and hid as fast as possible in the second direction represented by the divination numbers.
There was a piece of flying rock right next to the cliff, and the trajectory of the falling rock would most likely avoid it.
But what was very outrageous was that before Victor stepped on it, he discovered that there was a detonator on the flying rock, and the fuse was about to burn out.
"Grass!"
Victor could only retreat in a hurry. With a loud noise, he was blown away and the golden spell on his body was shattered. He had no time to look at the half-collapsed cliff road and hurriedly dodged in the third direction.
However, the third position is directly opposite the location where the falling rocks are concentrated. There is no bunker there, and it feels like it is deliberately letting Victor meet the god of death.
Several more boulders were pushed down from the top of his head, and Victor had no place to hide. He took out the fire spell written in blood and threw it against the mountain wall in front of him.
With the huge explosion of the fire spell, Victor guessed correctly. The mountain here was very fragile and empty inside. A deep cave was blown out by the fire spell.
He hurriedly hid in, but the ground inside was covered with moss. He lost his footing and rolled down on the ground. He did not stop until he reached a depth of about ten meters from the entrance of the cave.
After getting up, Victor checked his body and found that he was not injured. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, he began to think about the timing of the appearance of the two detonators. One exploded above the first safe position, driving him away to the flying rock on the edge of the cliff, and the second one exploded on the flying rock.
, and then drove Victor to the landing point where the falling rocks were concentrated. This arrangement was obviously to force him to the most dangerous place.
However, these two positions were temporarily deduced by Victor through the divination of the divination operator, and they can be regarded as the results of divination. Unless the person who arranged the detonator also knew the results of Victor's divination, how could he predict where he would hide?
anyway……
Victor looked around and lit a fire spell that was not written in blood.
"Where did Amanda go? Was she really stoned to death? Or did she roll off a cliff?"
"There is indeed something wrong with that Oliver! He probably brought us here on purpose."
While observing the cave, Victor analyzed the current situation.
They were too far away, and he hadn't clearly seen the figures pushing down the rocks above his head before... It was hard to tell whether they were human beings or not.
"So...has the ambush been laid out a long time ago? Like the detonator, it is specially used to deal with investigators from the Anti-Suppression Department?"
Some questions still don't make sense. If Oliver had planned to ambush the three of them here, then why was he unwilling to lead Amanda and Victor through the Scourge Canyon in the first place?
Just as Victor was thinking, a bright light suddenly flew out of the darkness. After he quickly turned his head, it violently smashed into the rock next to his head.
