Just over twenty years ago, some humans came here. Those people did not conflict with the tree people, but they also met Old Wood, and then entered the canyon in an attempt to kill the evil Evil Eye Tyrant. As a result...
Old Wood kindly pointed to the stone statue of a human knight at the mouth of the canyon... Unfortunately, it had been trampled to pieces by a fellow tree man in the previous battle.
Du Wei immediately remembered what Beinrich, the leader of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group, told him: According to current records, the deepest place where humans have gone to the frozen forest is this canyon! About twenty years ago, a
The great magician brought some high-level knights here, but almost the entire army was wiped out. But the magician escaped alone, and all the high-level knights who accompanied him died!
Even the map presented by Captain Beinrich in Du Wei's arms is said to have been circulated by the escaped magician!
The expression of the tree people is a bit clumsy, but the underlying meaning is still obvious: I have seen some powerful humans who came here, but they were all defeated by the evil-eyed tyrant, so we tree people do not believe that you can defeat the evil one.
Evil eye tyrant...
"Thank you for the reminder. But there is no loss to the tree people, right?" Duwei smiled: "Let's kill that evil guy. If we fail, it has nothing to do with the tree people. And if we succeed,
Just think of it as compensation for what happened just now.”
Du Wei's words gave Old Wood no reason to be picky.
But the tree man once again showed its incredible kindness and simplicity!
Old Wood slowly leaned down, then groped for a while on his tree trunk, and pulled out a golden leaf... Du Wei noticed that this leaf was golden!
"If... there is danger... stick it... on the ground, maybe it can... protect... you... for a little while."
Du Wei was stunned. You know, they and the tree people are still in a state of confrontation! The kindness and simplicity of these tree people, the speed of forgetting hatred... Du Wei sighed, such a race, no matter how populous it is, I'm afraid
It is also difficult to survive.
With a sigh, Du Wei returned behind the rock and looked at his two companions: "Hey, did you all hear clearly? I think we have something to do now... Evil Eye Tyrant, who knows what kind of monster is he?"
Hussein said calmly: "No matter what it is, I don't think there is anything in this place that can be my opponent. I am only interested in that spring water."
"Oh, yes." Du Wei smiled and said, "That spring water should be able to heal your injuries."
"No!" Hussein sneered: "I don't care about my injuries...but that's where Aragorn has been! I must go and see it!"
"What about you?" Du Wei glanced at Dardaniel: "My friend, what do you mean?"
Dardaniel looked serious. He pulled the bow on his back and said seriously: "Maybe there is a golden-eyed python in the canyon! That stone statue was obviously affected by the petrification spell! Maybe there is a golden-eyed python in it.
!”
All right.
Du Wei muttered something and said with a smile: "Then let's go in and have a look."
Old Wood directed his "companions" to move away the rocks blocking the mouth of the canyon. The extremely powerful tree man "companions" easily moved away the boulders, freeing up space at the mouth of the canyon. Then Duwei and Old Wood waved their hands.
Saying goodbye, together with their two companions, the three of them set foot into the canyon... -
Du Wei and others don't know how big this canyon is. Although from the introduction of the tree man Old Wood, it is said that this canyon is "not big". But you must know that it is measured by the height and volume of the tree man.
At least at this moment, Du Wei felt that this place was probably "not small."
After entering from the entrance of the canyon, there was a turning point about ten meters away. What made the three of them frown was that they were greeted by a thick fog.
This was a real "thick" fog. Du Wei could clearly feel the moist feeling in the air. It was so strong that it seemed as if just walking in the fog for a while would result in a lot of water vapor on his body.
The visibility here is quite bad. From a visual inspection, the effective range of sight does not exceed five steps! Du Wei has never seen such dense fog!
It is undoubtedly very unsafe to walk in such a place with poor visibility, and there is an evil and powerful guy living in this canyon. So Du Wei tried many methods. He tried to use magic to induce a small gust of wind to blow away
There was fog, but after the wind passed, there was still a vast expanse of white in front of him. Du Wei was sure of one thing...the fog was created by magic.
He barely lit a torch... This was a branch that Du Wei casually tore off a fellow tree man before entering the canyon. Hussein, the most powerful, walked in the front to clear the way, while Dardaniel broke behind.
, Du Wei, who had the worst melee strength, walked in the middle.
After walking in this thick fog for a while, Du Wei's mental power remained at full strength and he carefully sensed the movement around him. However, neither Du Wei nor Hussein, who was very responsive, noticed anything suspicious.
something.
On the contrary, Dardanelle, who had had adventure experiences before, raised a question: "Have you noticed...the snow on the ground here seems to be getting less and less."
Saying this reminded Du Wei and Hussein, and they immediately discovered that the snow under their feet was getting less and less. Du Wei sniffed his nose hard and frowned: "It's not that there is less snow, but it seems that there is less snow in the canyon.
It's much warmer outside, you see."
Du Wei pointed at the ground, squatted down slowly, stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful on the ground. He grabbed some snow and some moist and soft soil.
"If you were in a forest, the frozen soil on the ground would be difficult for even a knife to cut into. But the soil here can be lifted up with just a grab."
After walking forward for a while, almost all the snow on the ground disappeared! Under their feet was the muddy land turned into after the snow melted. As the three of them walked along, their boots and pants were covered with mud, and their leather boots stepped on them.
The slippery mud made people's feet extremely uncomfortable. But fortunately, the further we walked in, the terrain gradually became higher, and there was more and more dry land under our feet...
Du Wei stopped again, his eyes flashing: "Did you notice it?"
Hussein and Dardaniel also stopped and nodded at the same time.
Du Wei touched the ground with his skill and then said with a smile: "The ground is hot. Damn it, is this canyon a precious geothermal area?"
"That's why the snow here has melted." Dardanelle smiled.
Du Wei thought about it carefully and suddenly figured out something.
This thick fog after entering the canyon entrance!
This is the cold air outside the hesitation canyon colliding with the warm air inside the canyon, condensing at the mouth of the canyon, melting the snow here, the water vapor rising, forming more and more fog... And it seems that the other party here has intentions
Some kind of magic was used to solidify the mist. It became an area where the wind could not disperse it and the water vapor could not evaporate.
The further you go into the canyon, the drier the ground becomes and the temperature of the air gradually rises.
What makes Du Wei and others helpless is that from the time they entered the canyon until now, the three of them have been walking in a valley that is not too wide. This valley seems to have nine turns and eighteen turns, and the three of them have made several turns.
After turning left and right, we finally waited until the thick fog in front of us gradually thinned out, and there was dry ground under our feet. We could even see a few green weeds and moss under the rocks on both sides of the mountain walls!
Compared to the icy snow and cold wind outside, the temperature in this canyon is much more comfortable.
"It seems that the evil-eyed tyrant has snatched a good place." Dardaniel couldn't help laughing: "There is such a good place in this damn forest. If it were me, after grabbing it,
I would never give it up to anyone else. It’s freezing outside!”
Du Wei had already unbuttoned the top few buttons of his leather jacket, exposing his neck for some air. It was very warm here, and Du Wei felt like he was almost sweating in his leather jacket. He even put on his leather hat.
He took it off and stuffed it into his arms, then looked around carefully.
The thick fog here has become so thin that it can be ignored. Du Wei felt a little more comfortable: the thick fog just now not only affected his vision, but also the heavy moisture made Du Wei cough. Du Wei had no doubt that in that kind of
If you stay in the thick fog, which contains too much terrifying moisture, for a long time, you may develop pulmonary edema.
Now that there is no thick fog, the three of them can finally observe this place well.
As we go deeper into the canyon, the road gradually becomes wider. The mountain walls on both sides are still rugged. The exposed rock faults show a blue-grey color, and occasionally, tenaciously poke out from the cracks in the rocks.
There were several clusters of unknown plants, and Du Wei even saw many piles of rotten wood on both sides of the canyon. The roots of the decayed trees were unknown for how many years they were.
"Look, there is something interesting here." Hussein, who was walking in front, suddenly made a strange cry.
Duwei and Dardaniel immediately followed and saw Hussein standing in front of a "stone tablet".
It is somewhat reluctant to call it a "stone tablet". It is clearly a large rock on the roadside. It seems that a piece has been chipped away. On the neatly exposed surface, there are densely engraved lines of words... It is clearly the universal stone of the empire.
Word!
