Under the night, on the side of the crater, two figures suddenly appeared from the woods near the foot of the mountain, flying towards the mountain pass following a high and one low route. Although they appeared from the same place, their styles were completely different.
Same.
The crow, as light as fluttering catkins, followed the wind, its posture and angle were extremely strange, its figure turned and whirled like a fish swimming in the tide, a soft sword in its hand was drawn out in succession, and a filament-like fighting spirit swayed from the tip of the sword.
A thick bloody mist swept out in front of Cohen.
But Cohen, who was close to the ground, chose a straight line when moving forward. The crow was condescending to clear the way for him, and the remaining terrain obstacles could no longer stop him - the arrow must have both speed and power when it leaves the string, otherwise there will be no
Meaning, Cohen is like this arrow now. Flying to the mountain pass is not his ultimate goal. There is also a target in that mountain pass that he threatens to kill!
In the blink of an eye, the hundreds of arms of the mountain road were roaring and the situation changed!
Countless creatures were awakening on the originally lifeless slopes. Colorful poisonous snakes shook their triangular heads and ate wildly, sending venom flying all over the sky; the huge red rock roared, stretched out its sharp-edged limbs, and swept across.
Wow, sometimes there is magic with unknown properties!
But whether it is a poisonous snake that is entrenched and wandering, or a huge stone man that wakes up in anger, as long as it is in Cohen's path, it will fall apart in the crow's inconspicuous fighting spirit. The soft sword in his hand swings faster and faster, but the flying speed
But not affected.
Amidst the stone debris flying everywhere, Cohen was already close to the crater's mountain pass, but there was a rapid shock coming from the inside of the mountain pass, as if something heavy was running inside - just as his sight crossed the base line of the mountain pass.
At that moment, Cohen found a huge fist hitting him!
In fact, Cohen didn't even recognize it as a fist at the first time!
Because it's so big and so powerful!
A red flame was wrapped around the surface of the fist. Before he could get close, the wind caused by the fist had already sent the gravel flying across the mountain pass, making Cohen feel a burning sensation like needles! There was an explosion around him, and
Screaming wind blades, crystal clear ice edges, entangled thorns and vines, and even some magic that Cohen has never seen before are coming over!
Yes, this is a very chaotic magical aura that Cohen could not detect before... But Crow did not explain that this offensive is not inferior to the instant attack power of a squadron of magicians in Sibia. Under such powerful magical energy
, not to mention one Cohen, even three Cohens can hide their aura!
Cursing in his mouth, Cohen turned his body sideways, and the sole of his foot touched the exhausted crow, and a blue light curtain opened in front of him, barely able to block the first round of magic attack - as his body spun down sharply,
He has already chosen his destination.
With a loud "Boom!", Cohen stepped on the ground and squeezed into the inside of the mountain pass. The golden fighting spirit flashed past his feet, and the ground in front of him exploded forward in a fan shape!
The fighting spirit wrapped in the mud and rushing diagonally has no magical properties. It is the most effective way to restrain magic. However, it cannot stop the huge fist. It still comes straight to Cohen. After breaking through the fighting spirit flying all over the sky,
, the red flames on the surface of the fist dissipated, revealing a crystal-like texture. Although the red color is very beautiful, if someone hits this fist, which is as tall as an adult, he will undoubtedly be turned into pieces!
But Cohen couldn't take even half a step back at this time, because after flying such a long distance, the crow was already at the end of its crossbow. Although the previous collision between the two could draw strength, it could not last, and the crow had to make good use of this.
The power blocks the stone giant coming from the slope... The only hope now is for Cohen to open up the situation inward.
Without thinking, Cohen kept his feet steady, retracted his elbows, lowered his shoulders, lunged forward - and pushed forward with his right fist wrapped in blue light!
The loud sound of "Dang!" had the sound of a giant bell ringing, and it made Cohen's ears hurt.
The two fists were condensed together, and the violent collision caused the air to tremble. The magical energy raging in the crater was forced to roll outwards, and then flew up into the sky along with the terrain. Only then did Cohen see the full picture of the creature in front of him.
.
It was a rock giant the size of a dragon. Its whole body was made of translucent red crystals. Its facial features had evolved quite well. At least the huge one eye was filled with rage and shock!
"What are you looking at!" Why wouldn't Cohen be angry after the punch failed? He retracted his right fist a few inches, and the muscles of his waist, shoulder, and arm exerted force in sequence, and he punched the giant red fist with lightning speed - if it was the first
Boxing is an open and fair competition, so this punch is an insidious and cunning assassination!
Of course the giant has two fists, but the crater pass is different from other terrains. Except for the ring of mountains, there are downward slopes inside and outside. On such terrain, the rock giant must use the other fist to maintain
Only with balance can you stand firm! At this time, its only attacking fist was retracting, and it had no time to react, so the whole body sank downwards.
How could such a change escape Cohen's eyes? He immediately took advantage of the momentum to pursue him, hitting the same position with seven or eight consecutive punches. Finally, there was a sound of shattering, and the ground under the rock giant's feet collapsed one after another. The giant roared unwillingly, but
Unable to change the fate of overturning - the sound of sand and rocks flew all the way until it rolled to a small piece of flat land in the middle of the mountain pass and stopped.
Cohen chuckled, took the weapon thrown by the crow, and pressed towards the rock giant step by step. The exhausted crow was finally able to set foot on the ground, and he landed lightly behind Cohen... As for the pursuers behind him
, they didn't dare to cross the mountain pass at all, and the few that couldn't catch up were crushed into powder by the magic energy.
"This is a mutated rock giant. Because it has been exposed to chaotic magic power for a long time, its entire body has been purified by magic. It looks like crystal, but in fact it is a tough rock without any impurities." The crow walked and turned.
His own observations told Cohen: "The reason for its red color is probably that its core is a red magic crystal."
"A very smart elemental." Cohen nodded: "He also knows how to cover up his own weaknesses."
"Each regional elemental group has its own rules, but there is no doubt that the strongest person gets the leadership position. Then, the person in front of us should be the lord here, and his position must be magic.
The place where the energy is most concentrated." Crow reminded: "In this area, the slightest magic cannot be used to avoid harm to yourself."
"Can't you tease the magical energy from the underground?" Cohen's eyes turned to the seemingly ordinary ground: "That's fine, you can do whatever you want, no magic is needed, then just have a good time!"
"You want to have a good time? It's very simple." Crow walked away slowly: "I won't take action anymore."
Cohen was about to retort when the rock giant standing in the middle of the flat land let out a roar, and hit the ground in front of him with two clenched fists, as if it was a declaration to defend its territory, but also an undisguised provocation. !
"Trying to play with sadness and anger with me?" Cohen glared at him: "You're still far away!"
So he stepped forward seriously, holding a one-handed sword in his left hand, and a black iron knife in his right hand. His strides gradually narrowed and became faster and faster. When he was twenty steps away, Cohen let out a fierce roar, and his whole person's momentum suddenly increased. High, the black iron sword swung in a semicircle and struck down with a mighty force!
The rock giant came forward, with his left arm in front of him, and his right fist swept inwards from the side of himself!
A short but resolute cry echoed inside and outside the crater, coming from the heart and deafening - the sadness, pain, anger and resentment it contained were far beyond the scope of what an elemental creature could understand!
"Pay back the money!"
In the one eye of the rock giant, the blade that struck head-on had shattered the starry sky!
The light suddenly rises and sparks fly!
Countless red debris flew into the air!
Cohen turned into a rapidly rotating windmill, and the black iron sword was his only rotating wing. The reincarnation blade passed by again and again. In an instant, he had swung more than thirty knives, and all of them were slashed on the left arm of the rock giant! Those The flying red debris was not scraped off, but was shaken away by huge force. Even the tall body of the rock giant trembled under the impact until Cohen's attack speed slowed down. , the rock giant's other hand swept over!
Cohen turned sideways, tapped his toes lightly on the fist that was swept away, and his body had already taken off. He quietly pulled out the black iron sword in his left hand, and the tip of the sword tilted upward, pointing directly at the giant's one eye!
"Bah..." At the same time as a series of friction sounds were heard, Cohen rolled back and escaped, and the rock giant let out a mournful cry.
With a sound of "Dang!", half of the giant's left arm hit the ground directly, turning into a pile of surging rubble. On the head of the rock giant, a shocking wound penetrated the entire body from bottom to top. Show your face!
The giant became one-armed, and its huge one-eyed eye also lost its luster... But it wasn't too miserable. At least the left arm that fell off had turned into a small giant, exactly the same as the main body, and it was glaring at Cohen and hissing. shouted.
"This is a good method. It won't be wasted anyway." Cohen commented coldly.
Just as he was about to step forward and continue to chop, the crow said from behind: "It's getting late, let's do our thing!"
"What?" Cohen's surprise was extraordinary: "You want me to let it go?"
"There is no need to kill it. It can be born and survive here. This giant is very special." The crow nodded: "Don't look at how embarrassed it is now. It's just because of its bad luck. It happens to belong to the category you restrained. .After we enter, it can also guard the door."
The one-armed giant shrank back and watched the two people vigilantly - although it was slow, it already understood what happened to it, and also knew that the opponent in front of it was completely different from those of the same kind vying for the position of lord. Even that one The little giant transformed from the severed arm also took the opportunity to hide behind the main body.
"I think this guy hasn't fought much, so he's so clumsy, wasting the killer moves I prepared for later! But, since you finally relented for once, I have to give you this face." Cohen turned to look at him.
He glanced at the giant: "I will spare you today, but others will not spare you tomorrow. If you want to survive, practice fighting well!"
The rock giant didn't seem to know what Cohen was talking about, and gave Cohen a rude "poof" - the crow casually brushed away the flying stones and threw the scabbard of the sword to Cohen.
"Where to go?" Cohen put the sword behind his back and held the long sword in his hand, looking around: "There is no place to go."
"If your mind is calm enough, you should notice something strange from the echo just now." Crow walked to a gentle slope and looked at a stone in front of him: "The entrance is right here."
"Really? Let me give it a try! Open sesame... In the name of the glorious Lord of all things... the shift is over..." After finishing this long list of nonsense, Cohen looked at the crow: "The spell is useless."
"Your spell is so strange." The crow helplessly shook his head: "Choke!" He pulled out the soft sword and inserted it into the lower edge of the stone. With a flick of his wrist, the whole stone was lifted to the side. Under the stone was a strip of skin.
The crack is as wide as one person and is so dark and bottomless.
"It's such a unique cave." Cohen leaned closer to the crack, fanned some air with his hand and sniffed: "The air is fresh and has no peculiar smell. It seems that there is more than one opening here."
"One more thing, there are no magic beasts inside." Crow added: "Because the magic energy in the air is much higher than before. No animals dare to enter this place. Maybe even this stone was moved by those animals.
Come."
"Yes, although they will stay close to the stove for warmth, no chicken will walk into the stove and cook itself..."
"I don't know you." After saying that, the crow entered the crack first.
"I just want to remind you to be careful, safety first!" Without stopping, Cohen followed the crow and walked in. He took out a handful of natural gems that exuded a soft brilliance from somewhere and stuffed some into the crow: "We
Both of them have come in, what should we do outside?"
"According to the habit of the rock giant, it will cover the entrance of the cave again. If someone is following us, isn't that level of fighting a reminder?" Crow observed the direction of the gap: "Let's go down."
What was covered by the stone was just a crack that broke through the ground in a straight line. After walking hundreds of steps downward, they approached the main body, a long and narrow mountain gap that was ten arms wide and more than thirty arms high!
This gap extends all the way down, and there is no telling how deep it is. There are no creatures that usually live in caves, not even the most basic insects. The two can only move forward according to the flow of the air and the direction of the terrain. Head on.
The incoming magical energy changes properties rapidly, and its concentration has reached a level that can hurt people. Surrounded by this uncontrolled energy, if there is a slight carelessness or someone uses magic, it will trigger a chain reaction.
"This is all rock, and it is a huge rock that is split from the middle. It is not a naturally formed cave." Every time he walks a certain distance, Cohen will mark the route, and some forks will be inlaid with stars.
Gemstone Lighting: “This energy is quite strong, and judging from the collapse in the gap, it’s not that long ago.”
"Probably within fifty years." Crow nodded: "Our current location is already under hundreds of arms underground, but we are still not close to the core."
"I'm a little doubtful that such a concentration of magical energy has been wasted in vain for decades?" Cohen said doubtfully: "Even if there are artifacts in the treasure, you can't help but consume it like this!"
"How did you learn magic?" Crow criticized Cohen nonchalantly: "Every plant and tree in the world contains magical energy, some of which can be directly absorbed and used by people, such as water, fire, and those with natural properties.
Plants; some have unknown properties and cannot be used, such as those materials used to make anti-magic armor. How many objects containing energy are there deep underground? When natural magic energy is condensed, there will inevitably be a process of release.
, let alone decades, so what if it takes thousands of years? Those magicians who are obsessed with research have tried their best to find a place like this, provided they can get in. "
"The magic I learn is different from that of ordinary people." Cohen smiled: "Others learn how to use magic, but I think about how to make other people's magic lose its effect... Maybe, the magic energy gathered here exists naturally.
, but I still don’t think the process of condensation and release is natural..."
"What's the basis for you to be so sure?" Crow said, "Is it because this is where the treasure is buried?"
"Of course it's more than that. Don't you think all these conditions are too coincidental?" Cohen said: "First of all, the vampire family has four relics that provide clues to the treasure, and then this place is full of dangerous magic surges, making gods and demons unable to
I wish to get closer, and then there are the fierce biological groups guarding the gate, and the chaotic magic energy that continues to pour out... This place uses various means to exclude the vast majority of living creatures, and strictly limits the people who can approach it."
"You are right." Crow suddenly stopped. In the faint brilliance of the gem, his face looked solemn: "Then what awaits us in front is still this kind of rejection... and selection."
In front of the two of them was a collapsed pile of rubble, completely blocking their way.
Cohen asked: "Where are we?"
The crow replied: "Fifteen hundred arms deep underground."
"That means this is not a gate, but a landslide." Cohen drew out his black iron sword with his backhand and stabbed it into the stone wall next to him: "Dig from here!"
Both of them were uniquely powerful men, and they wielded extremely sharp blades. They quickly opened a small passage on the stone wall. But they didn't go down very far before they turned a few corners and encountered a cave-in.
Over and over again, when they descended to the Three Thousand Arms underground and a wall made of gravel and crystals appeared in front of them, both Cohen and Crow were exhausted.
"This is the gate." Crow put his palm on it and closed his eyes to feel it: "The wall itself is not too thick, and behind it is a fairly wide space... round."
"I'm going to see the master." Cohen smiled slightly: "I wonder if there will be tea for you?"
A black tip of the knife penetrated the wall against the gap in the crystal. It slowly advanced and penetrated through. With a soft sound, the tip of the knife came out, breaking the darkness that had been silent for thousands of years on the other side of the wall...
…
"I'll go first here." When Crow was about to raise his legs to enter, Cohen grabbed him, sprinkled a handful of lighting gems inside, and then put the knife across his chest and passed through the narrow hole.
"Banana, you're a watermelon! Such a big scene!"
Hearing Cohen's words, the crow hurriedly went over.
At just the first glance, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. (To be continued)
