"Of course, don't you want to see what's deeper there?" The people known as Akoda did not look back. With their current posture, even turning back would be a physical burden for them and an extremely heavy burden.
Tough moves.
So all he can do is move forward in silence.
Naturally, he came here not only to explore what existed in the depths, but also because he wanted to see if his father had also come here.
Three years ago, his father suddenly turned into a flaming black knight one night, stepped out without hurting anything, and disappeared on a black wildebeest that rushed out from the depths of darkness.
and never came back.
Over the years, people or undead people have been putting on black armor and moving in a certain direction.
This is like a curse, a curse for the living and the undead, cursing them to turn into black knights and go to inexplicable places.
So he wanted to see what caused all this in the ultimate place of curse.
See what's deeper?
The eyes of Ako's companions flickered. They were all adults and had their own thoughts, but he quickly thought it through.
"Okay, let's go and see what's deeper." He looked at the figure carrying a heavy load in front of him, and his fighting spirit aroused in his heart.
Under the cold wind, the two figures immersed themselves in moving forward. The wind and sand were so strong that they couldn't see whether there was a road ahead or not. So the two of them could only connect them with a rope and pull them forward.
The visibility was getting lower and lower. It was hard to see clearly even from a distance of less than three people. The ground was also blurry. The sand was very large and kept washing over them. The stone surface made a ping-ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong situation.
Crisp and crisp.
There is a small town on the edge of this weird area. Some people are saying that the wind here is very strong. The wind gets stronger as you go inside. How big is it specifically? It has big nails, big fists, and a big head.
That is to say, the wind on the outside can blow up sand and gravel as big as a fingernail, the wind in the middle can blow on stones as big as a fist, and the wind inside can blow on stones as big as a head.
This wind is very strange. It can kill people when it blows, but it is limited to such an area and is not exposed to the outside. It is never out of character.
So this is a desperate, forbidden place.

call--
call--
This is not the sound of the wind, but the sound of breathing that is drowned by the wind. Yes, the stone leather clothing will increase their weight and increase their protection, but it will also greatly increase their physical energy consumption.
Therefore, after going deep for a certain distance, the ping-pong-pong rocks were no more than the size of two thumbs, which also made the two of them scurry around, and they were covered in bruises even through the stone skin.
Go deeper, go deeper, this is the obsession of the two young people, and besides, this has not reached their last limit.
call--
Akoda panted, feeling that his whole chest was cold. He knew that if he allowed such coldness to erode, he probably wouldn't survive for long.
But he was unwilling to do so.
They have all come this far, and he is unwilling to just stay here.
laugh--
A Keda felt his feet sink, as if he had kicked something. Was it a stone?
He was about to walk away, but he heard another pop, followed by a loosening of his waist. He was startled, and turned his hand back with difficulty, trying to pull up the rope tied around his waist behind him, but his hand was empty and he could not reach it at all.
None.
It's broken, all three ropes are broken.
He quickly turned around and went back, and found his friend who was still standing a few steps away. When he walked in, there was only two or three steps left, and the two of them saw each other with empty eyes.
Akko breathed a sigh of relief.
'Walk.'
Akko gestured and pointed outside.
'But……'
The friend turned his head and looked inside. He was a little reluctant. The rope could be picked up if it was broken, and they could go further and deeper.
'Walk.'
Akota was very determined and had no intention of changing at all, so his friend could only walk in front and start the journey back.
'Wait...' He stopped his friend again, asked him to wait a moment, walked side by side with him back to where he was before, and helped him squat down.
If he were alone, he would probably be unable to get up after squatting down. It was more likely that he would fall down and never get up again.
'Walk.'
Akko greeted his friend and told him to leave quickly, but he didn't notice that his friend's legs were shaking.

It was cold, very cold. Even after leaving the forbidden area, the two of them did not feel any warmth at all. The stone skin on their bodies seemed to be covered with frost and snow, and it was biting and cold to the marrow.
After quickly taking off the stone skin on his body and putting on thick clothes that should have been warm, A Keta could clearly see what was in his hand.
This is a calf-high black plant with a texture like black iron and looks very hard.
However, this black plant has no obvious leaves or branches, only a main trunk and slightly opened leaflets, pointed and flat, with metallic colors flowing through it.
"What is this?"
Both of their eyes fell on this little thing, regardless of the redness, swelling and bruises on its body, or the bulging corners of its eyes that had been beaten. This was the only thing they had brought out besides stones for so long.
They are very interested.
But there is no way to understand it. The only way they can try is to twist the leaves and tap the hardness. After confirming that this thing is very hard, they wonder if they can get a piece of it and estimate that it can be used as an iron tool.
After discussing it for a long time, Akota put this thing on the small table in his residence, turned around and started arranging the food.
The friend hesitated to speak. He looked at his back and wanted to say something, but stopped talking.
When he went to dig up the plant, he seemed to see a tall, vague figure passing by them. The figure looked at him and them indifferently, but for some reason he did not make a move against them.
After a brief meal, the two of them lay down on the bunk, prepared to sleep, and began to recharge their batteries.
Akko tossed and turned, feeling a little unable to sleep. The weird metallic plant seemed familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember what it looked like.
Drowsily, he also fell into a deep sleep and stopped thinking.

Click click click click——
In the middle of the night, something seemed to be making a noise. I don't know where the tiny rustling sound came from or when it started.
When Akko woke up, he was woken up by the cold wind. This temporary shelter was built with ventilation on all sides. When the cold wind blew, it was cool on all sides.
He shuddered and looked at the cold wind illuminated by the cold moon. There was something wrong with the wind, it was too strong.
Sure enough, the wind was changing, getting stronger, and increasing in power. The fine sand and gravel blew up and hit other places, making a crackling sound.
The cold wind was blowing, carrying the smell of a forbidden place, wait, a forbidden place, Akoda suddenly felt a chill.
