The river flowing through the Vague Butterfly Village is much longer than Raymond expected, because the previous mountain range is only its surface birthplace...
A few days after seeing the giant rock painting, the team was moving along the river. But when the stretching mountains hidden in the giant rock painting were interrupted, the landform ahead was simply transformed into a huge basin.
And the surging river also disappeared underground here and became a dark river.
According to Jima, the origin of this river is a desert outside the basin, so if you want to follow its direction, you need to cross the basin to reach the desert and finally reach its source.
Where.
The dangers in this basin all come from a kind of underworld plant called "小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小�
Add more than ten days.
Since it was just a threat from plants in the underworld, Raymond naturally would not circulate to avoid it, so he followed the direction of the underground river and entered the basin.
Because of the occasional rise of the underground river, many ponds formed in the basin are scattered and numerous, and those plants that can release shimmer light are the first to be seen, and then those as high as ten.
Rice is like a weird willow like a dead tree.
After entering this basin, Raymond found that the air pressure here was not only very low, but also suddenly dropped at an altitude of 30 to 40 meters from the ground, and the extremely chaotic airflow was unstable.
Stay. It is as if the effect of forbidden air is formed, making creatures with slightly lower strength unable to resist at all.
Raymond, who wanted to try to protect Ulu and Jima from the air, was found to be difficult to last with the help of an isolation barrier. And the longer the air stagnation time, the more the pressure from the above will become more and more enormous, so
After exploring and confirming that it was not possible, he gave up the idea of overtaking the air and landed and started hiking.
With the light green lenses given by the Sirens and the glimmer of light formed by the plants in the underworld, Raymond can roughly see the way forward without releasing the lighting technique, and those weird willows with strange shapes like dead trees.
.
The whole trunk is full of tumor-like scars. The slender branches have no leaves, and when they swing in the wind, they will make dry crackling sounds, which are really like those dead trees.
It usually breaks in the wind at any time.
But when entering the basin, the ghost Butterfly Jima explained that the attack range of these weird willows is six meters, and as long as they are not close to them, there will be no changes.
Therefore, Lei Meng was not interested in provoking these seemingly dead ghosts, but as the team continued to deepen, the ghosts, whose height exceeded ten meters, gradually became connected into pieces. It was impossible to avoid
avoid.
There was no response to the exploration of perception. But as long as it entered the edge of the range it controlled, the dead branches would cut silently like sharp blades.
Each willow has hundreds of branches. Although it is silent when it is launched in vain, its power when it comes to the scene is also a bit scary.
However, this slightly pure physical attack could not shake Raymond's defense at all, but the entanglement and twisting force formed by the Gui Liu after it was activated was actually far more than the vain cut.
The concealment and power.
In an instant, hundreds of black and shriveled willow branches will be entangled, and even Raymond's defense barrier will be squeezed inwardly by the Tao. And only the burning of invisible fire can cause it to suffer heavy damage and shrink. Back.
The strange willow, whose root system is well developed, seems to be difficult to completely eliminate, brought a lot of trouble to Raymond in his initial encounter. However, with the increase in the number of burned, these strange willows that could share information are not. He also causes trouble for the team, and even when Raymond and others enter the area under their control, he will actively retract his branches to make the road smooth!
Such a strange change made the fantasy Butterfly Jima so surprised that she couldn't stop talking. Although the resentful Butterfly Ulu did not show any abnormality, the horror in her pupils was noticed by Raymond.
Raymond, who was also somewhat surprised, said strangely after crossing the central area of the basin. "Can we say that these strange willows can transmit information?"
"I haven't heard of it... Because the strange willows grown here do not have any collection and use value, they used to avoid them and go around directly when they were leading the team close..."
Uluqi, who had been close to this place, could not explain such a phenomenon. After quickly crossing the basin and coming to its edge, the faint city standing in the desert that suddenly became brighter was finally revealed in the thunder. In front of the mask.
Without waiting for Jima to introduce it, Ulu, who had been here, pointed to the vague outline of the city wall and said. "It is said that it is a city built by a very powerful lich, but after it is destroyed, it becomes A dead land where no creature can live…”
Standing at the junction of the basin and the desert, Raymond can only see the extremely ethereal shadow of the city, and the surface of the desert in front of him is composed of a kind of rough quartz sand with fluorescent shining, which makes the environment become Much brighter.
But in Raymond's feeling, this place is almost synonymous with desolation.
Because this is his first feeling.
Because of the breeze, what comes to you is the extremely dry smell. However, when you get close to this place, you really hide in the deep underground river. At this time, it is also because of the slow flow rate and The decrease in water volume is more difficult to detect.
However, the faint vibration from the underground river can still allow Raymond to vaguely grasp its flow direction, and in his sense that the city destroyed in the desert is where its source is.
Since this place is not suitable for living creatures in the underworld, Raymond, who promised to try not to let Jima's village be noticed by the guardian of the Soul-Sacrificing Fruit Tree, left Ulu and Jima on the edge of the desert and began to move forward alone. .
After setting off the road, Raymond noticed an abnormality in the environment shortly after moving fast.
It is like a desert with a visual distortion effect, which has caused many afterimages to the city that should have been located in a very distant location. After being constantly overlapped and covered, it will make people feel that the city is ahead of them. Not far away.
But in fact, this city is very far away from the basin, and there is still a phenomenon like a ban on air in the air, which makes it impossible to take off the air and maintain high speed for a long time.
But because there were no creatures in the underworld here, Raymond also walked quickly.
After getting two hourglasses, the phantom of the city that had been kept not far away from him was finally seen because of the actual distance.
It was like a giant city that was completely destroyed by violent attacks, and there were traces of attack on the outside walls.
The obscure energy aura comes with the wind from the direction of the city walls. Although it is a bit difficult to detect, it is noticed by Raymond, and the closer it is to the radiation power in the urban environment becomes more obvious.
When Raymond really approached the city wall, he found that the touch under his feet became a little soft. After leaning over and grabbing it, he found that the thick quartz gravel that had been before was extremely fine here, as if it were extremely fine. Thin sand can leak from fingers like this.
The towering city walls were filled with gaps, and Raymond, who had jumped up on the city wall, also saw a corner of the city.
It was probably a city of quite large scale back then, but now it is almost buried by fine sand. Everything that catches your eye is covered with ruins covered with gravel.
The huge broken stone pillars, the weird smashed stone statues, the collapsed houses...
A city with a very large area must have cost a huge amount of money when it was built.
When he came to a gap to observe, Raymond saw two meters square and tens of meters long, and even found traces of the broken talisman array hidden inside the city wall.
What kind of existence is that it will build such a large city in such a deserted place at any cost?
Raymond is a little confused... (To be continued...)
