The Bloodstream Canyon is shrouded in thick fog all year round. Even on a clear day, the valley is dim and gloomy. Zhou Qingfeng’s expedition team chose the time when the sun was rising to once again break into this land of the dead with a dozen ghosts leading the way.
land.
In the previous transaction with the old hag, Zhou Qingfeng obtained many low-level but effective arcane scrolls. He put on himself the 'spiritual armor' and the 'protective arrow', and walked into the canyon holding a silver shield.
Mondino gave everyone in the team a bottle of 'night vision potion' so that everyone could see through the fog that filled the canyon. In the shadows, the resurrected dead were swaying everywhere, decayed war equipment was left on the ground, and tattered flags were automatically blown away by the wind.
.
Occasionally, you can hear a few howls, which may be a demonic projection that cannot leave this place venting its accumulated anger. It may also be a monster hiding underground that suddenly comes out looking for prey.
The 'octopus head' was not blocked at the entrance, but Mondino's suture monster was dismantled to pieces, and its remains were discarded on the ground. The piranha flowers collected by Old Borg were also smashed to pieces, and were thrown around randomly.
Seeing that his summons were destroyed, the Necromancer was not very angry. He hunched forward slowly and softly chanted the spell to summon again. The various parts that made up the Stitch Monster gathered together and reorganized into the disgusting and terrifying monster.
monster.
"Hehehe... It's not that easy to destroy my summons." Mondino drove the Stitch Monster forward again, "That 'octopus head' should be bound somewhere in the canyon.
, the situation is worse than we imagined.”
Old Borg looked at the scattered piranha flowers, sighing and angry. He shook his head, followed Mondino, and said: "There are too many good things to collect here. I suggest that we move forward step by step and move a few things first.
Go outside the valley, lest you find nothing again."
"This used to be a place where demons and elves fought to the death. Of course there are a lot of good things." Zhou Qingfeng held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, looking at the thick fog and said: "I'm afraid we have to separate. I want to go deep into the canyon to find one."
Elven Temple.”
Everyone has different intentions. Mondino is very interested in the Bloodstream Canyon, Old Borg just wants to collect rare medicinal materials, and Zhou Qingfeng wants to wake up his elf maid first. The remaining two are purely here to help.
A few people discussed and the expedition team was divided into two parts. Zhou Qingfeng first entered the depths of the canyon to explore the situation, while the others slowly advanced at the entrance of the canyon. Both parties responded to each other.
'Quick Shadow' carried the unconscious Xili and walked with Zhou Qingfeng. The master and servant controlled several ghosts to slowly disappear into the thick fog. The deeper they walked into the canyon, the thick fog composed of negative energy affected the mental exploration more and more.
It's indescribably heart-pounding.
In this environment, the 'evil-breaking' epee added with fine gold emits light, and its 'resistance to negative energy erosion' function protects Zhou Qingfeng from harm.
'Jiying' is huge, has heavy steps, and always makes a lot of noise. It follows Zhou Qingfeng and looks around. Although it is not afraid of negative energy, it can't help but complain: "Master, why don't we find more people?"
Come?"
"Who are you looking for?"
"Even if you don't find Princess Inisa, you can still find more adventurers."
"We are traveling lightly, and we are two or three days away from the jackal's den. It is easy to get dozens of people over, but what about their supplies? An expedition without supplies will inevitably get out of control, and I hate losing control."
"But I always feel that it depends on us. There are too few manpower."
'Jiying' was still complaining, Zhou Qingfeng suddenly stopped, raised his finger and booed. He secretly said in the master-servant contract: "Don't talk, there are really a lot of undead here. It doesn't matter if you are a dead horse, but they treat me
The breath is very sensitive."
Before entering the canyon, Old Borg blessed Zhou Qingfeng with the 'breath of the undead', which can make it difficult for low-level undead to detect him. But the undead in the canyon are more powerful than the last, and there are many with higher levels. If there is a slight mistake, he will be killed.
siege.
The master and the servant identified the road and direction in the thick fog, bypassed the rubble and debris, and avoided strange undead creatures. Many undead beings were extremely powerful in life. Although they were greatly weakened after death, they became more alert to the breath of living people.
Sneaking in the shadows for half a day, it is difficult to estimate the passage of time.
Zhou Qingfeng raised his hand to look at his watch and realized that something was wrong with the time in the canyon, sometimes speeding up and sometimes slowing down. He was now in combat mode and could not open the time and space door to reality. Once he encountered an enemy, he had to fight or die.
When the hour hand of the mechanical watch turned around, Zhou Qingfeng was a little confused about where he was. He tried to communicate with the unconscious Xili, but the elf girl's soul did not respond, leaving him with an extremely crude picture.
map.
The sky has darkened, and several groups of ghostly shapes gradually condensed under the shadow of the canyon rocks. A fine gold shuttle was driven by the 'Wizard's Hand' and suddenly shot out from close range, instantly passing through the core of the ghostly form and defeating it.
.
Zhou Qingfeng jumped out of the hiding place, quickly ran to the soul of the ghost that was about to collapse, and took out a necromantic scroll "Conversation with the Dead". The consciousness of the undead was quickly linked to his brain.
The soul of the ghost sighed and poured out its sorrows of being trapped for a long time. Zhou Qingfeng asked it in his mind and got the information he needed in the miserable telling. He was lucky, the dead ghost was an elf warrior during his lifetime.
, pointed out a clear path.
"The souls of the dead said that the space and time in the canyon have been distorted, and even the orientation has changed." Zhou Qingfeng frowned, "This ability is really exaggerated."
'Shiying' nodded, "There were lord-level demons involved in the war back then. They did have the ability to distort time and space. Otherwise, how could they open the plane barrier to the main material world to harvest souls? However, this distorted ability cannot last long.
.There should be other reasons.”
Zhou Qingfeng recalled the route map given by Xili, "The temple of the 'Goddess of Life' was originally in the middle of the canyon. But according to the deceased's story, the temple was moved to the north. Damn it, we still have to cover a long distance."
The compass was useless in the canyon, and the master and servant could only change directions, looking for their way around like headless flies. Just when they were dizzy, thick fog enveloped the canyon, dust surged, and a familiar guy came again.
"Oops, hide now." Zhou Qingfeng was still tiptoeing at first, but when he saw the big movement, he immediately jumped on the back of 'Jiying' and quickly evaded in the opposite direction.
A group of Minotaurs with only skeletons left rushed out of the thick fog with big tattered shields. The iconic tentacled head of the 'Octopus Head' appeared in sight. It appeared with more and stronger subordinates than before, and its whole body was full of energy.
The black mist shrouded the place, eerie and terrifying.
This is like an undead army. Dozens of heavily armored undead are advancing slowly, like a wave crashing onto the shore. They rumble past with noisy sounds, fearless of any opponent.
Several carrion dogs were scattered on the left and right wings of the undead brigade, running back and forth, roaring and roaring. When the 'octopus head' passed Zhou Qingfeng, the carrion dogs with sensitive senses seemed to have discovered something. A few of them stayed behind.
Barking at a rock.
The adamantine flying shuttle flew out silently, quickly piercing the skull of a corpse dog, and smashing its fallen soul. Instead of running away, the other corpse dogs roared and rushed towards the rocks, their festering mouths opening,
Bare fangs and sharp teeth.
Two sword blades were slashed out from behind the rocks. The skin and flesh of the two corpse dogs in front of them were split open, and their bodies were split into two halves. The adamantium-enhanced blades killed them immediately.
The last carrion dog realized that it should call out to its companions. But before it could stop and scream, the adamantine shuttle that had just flown out spun around and pierced the back of its head, exploding into a cloud of black debris.
Four tattered dog corpses polluted the ground, and their corrupted bodies quickly turned into pus, emitting a dizzying stench. Zhou Qingfeng silently looked at the "Octopus Head" team that had moved away, and turned to look
The direction in which it came out.
This group of undead seems to be guarding something. What on earth is going on?
