Chapter 1693 Pathfinder
A stone rolled down and fell to the horse's hooves. The war horse stepped on it and slashed the stone. Alan sat on the horse and raised his head. There was a cliff a hundred meters above. The stone rock above poked out into the void, forming a wave. Alan lowered his head and said to Lucy, who was walking behind, "Be careful." Now they were walking on a winding mountain path, which was passing by the mountain. On the left is a cliff wall, on the right is a cliff, and on the right is a dense forest.
The trees in the Mist Mountains are dark in color and look very depressing. From a high point, there is a layer of fog that cannot be blown away by the wind, making this mountain area look very gloomy. There are not many animals in the Mist Mountains, but there are many dangerous beasts. Walking on the mountain path, you can hear all kinds of strange calls from the forest below. It is noon, but the light is dim, so this is definitely not a pleasant place.
The previous scout had eliminated some obstacles on the mountain road, so the march seemed slow but smooth. As he was walking slowly, Allen suddenly felt his heart moved. As soon as he looked up, he heard a very gloomy sound, and then a fire burst out from the rock layer above. The rock layer was blown open, and large huge rocks smashed into the mountain road.
Sure enough, the Shadow Principality has an ambush here!
"Celline, Lola, protect the army!" Allen said, and as he stepped on the kickstick, he rushed upwards. He almost stepped on the cliff, and his hands holding the hilt were moderately tight. When the first huge rock fell, the black sword that Julian gave him suddenly unsheathed.
A sword echoed over the mountains and forests.
The already dim light color seemed even dim, and a golden crescent moon slowly rose. The crescent moon passed through the falling rock. The falling rock color suddenly went from deep to shallow, and then it flew away like a draft, falling lightly down. Alan followed the passage opened by the crescent moon, and in a blink of an eye it reached the top of the cliff. When he stepped onto the top of the cliff, he saw a group of blade demons screaming and running forward. Alan had no intention of chasing him, and stood there and looked around for a while. Except for the blasting collapse of this cliff, the fire could also be seen hundreds of meters away. Then the rocks rumbled down, raising a thick cloud of dust.
Returning to the sword and returning to the sheath, Allen turned around and stepped into the void. A golden ripples appeared at the foot of the foot. He climbed down like an invisible ladder, and circles of golden light spread. Allen came to the mountain road. The army rested. A large number of falling rocks had been wiped out by Allen in one move, and the rest was also taken over by Celine and Lola. Except for a few accidentally scratched and two war horses were frightened and slid off the cliff, the army was not damaged.
Rodek walked back in front and said to Allen: "The mountain road three hundred meters away was blocked by a big stone. Two scouts died. And a mountain road ahead collapsed. I'm afraid this road will not work."
Allen said lightly: "The enemy wants us to go another way. They want us to go to the Esabine Tunnel. They should want those earth-aberding creatures in Pan Heng's tunnel to deal with us and use them to delay time."
"It should be like that."
"Then let's change to the tunnel. By the way, Marshal, what are the names of those earthly creatures?"
Rodek took a deep breath and said, "We call it Hellworm."
Turning back from the mountain road, the whole army turned around. The tail of the team has now become a vanguard. Alan and his men were walking in the front, but now they have fallen to the end. They rode their horses to the front of the team after retreating down the mountain road. Rodek took the map for comparison, led the army down the mountain range, and then drilled deep into the dense forest. The forest was lush and the map had not been revised for a long time, so the army almost took a break. Of course, the marching speed was not fast enough, so when the sun set, Rodek had to order the army to rest in the dense forest. The soldiers sawed down the trees, and in addition to clearing out the camp, these trees would also be used as fuel.
The night sky was filled with stars, and a piece of woodland was cleaned up. From the sky, it looked like a corner was dug out in the dense forest. The soldiers used the cut down trees to make a fire to make rice, while Rodek was busy planning the route tomorrow. After dinner, Allen came to his tent and saw that Rodek's face had two eyebrows frowned.
"Marson, what's wrong?"
"Duke, you are here." Rodek looked up and pointed to the map and said, "The road ahead will pass through a swamp. It was used to be landfilled to dig a large tunnel, but the situation is unknown now. I have sent a scout to check the situation, but I haven't come back yet, and I don't know if I have encountered any danger."
Allen walked over and looked at the map. A black line on it really walked around a place with the words "Swamp". Allen asked, "Where is the entrance to the big tunnel?"
Rodek reached out and landed on the black line, drew forward, and pointed at the other side of the swamp, saying, "It's here, the engineers who dug the tunnel thought it was the shortest to open the mountains from here, so it started here. There is a gate here, which Esabine called the door of hope. After entering the gate, there will be a ground hall, which was used to place tools and workers' camps at that time. Also, considering that the army could take a break in the ground hall when entering the tunnel in the future, the ground hall should still be there."
"This is how I go and explore the way." Allen simply said.
Rodek said, "This is the best. If the great master explores the way, I can sleep peacefully. You don't know that people can't accept old age. Now my old bones can no longer withstand such tossing."
Alan nodded and walked out. Rodek put away his smile, his expression completely different from what he had just now. He narrowed his eyes and his eyes fell on the swamp. This swamp is called the Pivot of the Dead.
"You're going to explore the way?"
Back in his tent, Alan explained the situation and began to cut off armor and asked Lola to prepare pens and papers for him, so that he could simply draw when he found that the terrain was different, so as to determine the route of tomorrow's march. While putting on armor for him, Lucy said dissatisfiedly: "Is no one able to do this for you? You have to do it yourself. You are not Rodke's tent soldier."
Alan pinched her face and said, "Rodke has sent someone, but he hasn't come back. He is worried that there is danger in that place. I think I'm idle and idle, so I'll go and have a walk. Don't worry, there are not many things that can kill me now."
"Then you have to be careful, don't be careless," Lucy reminded.
Lola brought paper and pen, and Allen hid them in his armor. Even his space ring was destroyed in the flames gate. It was a pity, otherwise these things could be thrown directly into the space ring, so why would it be so troublesome?
"Okay, I'm leaving. You guys have a break early and don't have to wait for me to come back." After Allen said that, he left the camp alone and disappeared into the shadow of the camp.
