Roy mobilized his magic power and summoned twenty level two skeleton archers and axemen, ten level three skeleton commanders and two level four skeleton generals.
Finally, Roy summoned a level five Death Knight Commander. Unexpectedly, as soon as the Death Knight Commander appeared, the dry and hard muscles on his body that were like refined iron would be melted by the clouds.
Without flesh and blood, this fifth-level death knight leader only has more powerful soul fire, and his combat power is not much better than that of the fourth-level skeleton general.
This gave Roy a deeper understanding of the clouds. It seemed that all flesh and blood could not escape the fate of being corroded by the clouds. However, things like rocks, abyssal plants, steel, and bones were not affected by it.
Under Roy's command, the skeleton soldiers began to march towards the top of the mountain.
Because the abyss demons along the way have already fled in all directions. Those who cannot escape are either dead or hiding. Therefore, the skeleton soldiers walk in the clouds without any danger. Only the steep mountain walls and slippery ground bring them
A little trouble has arisen.
After spending most of the prayer time, the skeleton soldiers had climbed up the mountainside.
Through the sight of the skeleton soldier, Roy discovered that the clouds became denser as he went up. In the fog, a large number of thick fog clusters appeared, just like hail mixed in the snow. It was not until they fell that they gradually
Spread out and merge into the clouds.
This strange phenomenon made Roy extremely curious.
The appearance of these thick fog masses shows that the clouds do not originate from one source. Rather, they appear to originate from countless small sources and eventually converge.
This phenomenon is very different from people's understanding of clouds in the data.
Roy was a little excited. You must know that this discovery alone is enough to refresh the progress of human research on Yin Yun. If the rewards from the mission hall are calculated, the points are enough for him to jump from a third-level mercenary to a fifth-level mercenary. And
Get your second Eagle Feather Badge!
After all, for many years, human research on clouds has been far away from the source. It is already risky to be able to sample clouds, analyze their components, understand their movement characteristics, and find ways to rely on caves to avoid danger.
It's risky.
This was also because he encountered the mutation in the Dark Basin. With good luck, he happened to bump into this mountain section. Otherwise, it would probably take a lifetime just to find the source.
The skeleton soldiers continued to move forward.
There is a large protruding cliff on the mountainside of this mountain.
The cliff not only blocked the view below, but was also steep and difficult to climb. Roy controlled the skeleton soldiers and spent almost half a prayer before finally climbing up.
As soon as he reached the cliff, what caught Roy's eyes was a huge cave. Endless gray mist was rolling in from the cave. It was like a waterfall, flying down the mountain along the cliff.
"Is this the source of the cloud?"
……………

at the same time.
In the center of the dark basin, a huge valley suddenly began to collapse without any warning. Trees, rocks, soil on the ground, demons who had no time to escape, and various abyssal creatures all fell down.
The ground shook. The entire collapse process lasted for half an hour.
When the dust and smoke dissipated, a huge black hole appeared on the ground. The black hole was bottomless. Balls of black gas surged upward from the bottom of the hole. There were roars from deep inside the hole. The walls of the hole were vaguely visible.
, black figures are constantly climbing up.
Roaring sounds echoed in the valley. Several level five demons who were frightened by the collapse of the ground stared at the black hole in the valley with frightened eyes. After a moment, they fled frantically into the distance, as if they had encountered something terrible.
The stuff is average.
However, their escape did not last long.
Soon, a more ferocious roar came from the black hole. At the same time, a huge pressure spread in all directions.
Upon hearing this sound, the fleeing demons stopped and lay on the ground trembling.
Then, one by one, they came out from the top of the mountain, from the banks of the lava river, from the dense forests and swamps, and gathered together to form black torrents.
In just one or two prayers, the number of abyss demons gathered near the black hole exceeded tens of thousands. From the air, it looked like muddy water gushing out of the black hole, spreading in all directions.
Finally, as a black mist poured out of the cave entrance, the climbing black shadows jumped up. They stepped on the prostrate demon, bared their teeth and claws, and roared fiercely. The red light in their eyes dodged, revealing the sharp claws in their hands and the words in their mouths.
Its fangs and long tail sway from side to side.
They were huge demons. In addition to the sixth-level demons, there were also seventh-level, eighth-level, and even ninth-level demons!
These demons, who were not supposed to belong to the third layer of the abyss, jumped out one after another from the bottomless black hole. Crazy roars resounded throughout the valley.
With the appearance of these demons, the black gas in the black hole became more intense. The endless black mist surged crazily, gathered together, and became thicker and thicker. In the end, it gradually liquefied and formed at the entrance of the black hole.
A black water film like an ink pool.
The roars of the demons stopped.
The high-level demons who were the first to jump out of the black hole were all lying on the ground like the other low-level demons, staring nervously at the entrance of the hole.
At this moment, suddenly, the earth shook.
With a bang, a huge figure rushed up from the bottom of the black hole and slammed into the black water film, pushing the water film into a terrifying shape.
After this collision, the black energy was like a hornet's nest being poked, gathering more crazily, as if trying to seal the figure.
However, the speed of the figure was faster, and the force of the impact was more violent. For a moment, the black water film was seen constantly shaking and trembling. Often one of the lifted shapes has not disappeared, and another place has bulged.
stand up.
The impact is getting faster and faster and more violent.
Finally, a crack appeared in the black water film.
This crack announced the failure of the black energy. The next second, the condensed water film suddenly shattered. A red figure rose into the sky. Huge wings were waving in the air. Huge pressure and terrifying roars were sent in all directions.
diffusion.
Boom! As if being hit by a shock wave, all the demons on the ground fell over.
The red figure in the sky scanned the surroundings with eyes flashing with bloodthirsty light. The long fangs in its mouth, the sharp claws on its hands and the sharp spikes on its back were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a moment,
It made a series of weird sounds and took the lead to fly away into the distance.
The demons on the ground either soared into the air or flew behind it. Their dark figures covered the sky and sun, like floods that flooded the earth.
In front of them, a snow-white mountain peak was slowly rising from the vast land, getting higher and higher, reaching into the sky.
………………
………………
"Damn, where is this?"
On the black and red desolate land, a mercenary team was walking hard. Everyone's body was covered with scars, and their faces were full of fatigue that could not be concealed.
"I don't know." The leading mercenary held a rough and tattered rough route map in his hand and shook his head dejectedly.
"Then are we going to keep going like this?" the mercenary who asked the question loudly said, "We don't even have a direction!"
"If we keep going, there is still a glimmer of hope," a companion said as he passed him. "If you stop, you will have to wait to die."
The mercenary looked around desperately.
His companions passed by him, all of them looking ashen.
They have been trekking in the dark basin for more than twenty prayer hours. But now, they can't even find the most basic direction.
They are quite lucky.
You know, just a few prayer hours ago, they saw with their own eyes a mercenary team being swallowed up by dark clouds. At that time, they were standing on the top of a mountain in the distance, and they almost managed to escape with their lives.
Later, they encountered a wave of demons. Two of their companions died. Everyone else was injured.
No one knows where the ruins of the abyss they are looking for are, and no one knows where the way home is. Now they can only take one step at a time, hoping for good luck to get out.
Although this chance is extremely slim, it is better than waiting for death.
After a moment of silence, the mercenary tightened his coat and followed the footsteps to chase his retreating comrades.
And just as he was leaving, he looked back and his eyes suddenly widened. Then, he yelled.
"Come back, come back! Look!"
The tired mercenaries frowned and looked at their companion who had been complaining along the way.
However, as their eyes followed the companion's hand into the distance, everyone's eyes froze.
Their mouths gradually opened wide, and their eyes showed almost crazy disbelief and joy. Then they burst into earth-shaking cheers.
"Found it!"
"That's it, that's it!"
The mercenaries shouted, jumped, hugged, and some even cried with joy!
In the distance, a mountain that is all white except for a blood-red peak at the top stands tall on the horizon.
This is the only iconic mountain range that the mercenaries have been able to see in this mist-shrouded land for more than twenty years.
It is like a lighthouse on the vast sea, guiding the lost ship's course.
What's more important is that at the end of the simple route map, there is a mountain peak. Its color and outline are exactly the same as the one in front of you.
"Walk!"
The leading mercenary roared loudly and ran towards the mountain peak first.
The excited team members followed closely behind.
At this moment, everyone had left behind their tiredness, fear, and previous torture.
In their eyes, there is only this mountain peak. Only what it represents is the huge wealth that makes people crazy.
……………
……………
"Miss, please take a rest here."
The thorns covered with barbs were chopped open by a huge long sword. A knight carrying a huge ax and covered in heavy armor walked out first.
He stood in the forest clearing, looked around, and after confirming that there was no danger, he bowed slightly to Scarlett, who was guarded by several tough knights behind him, and said.
Scarlett came over and sat down on a piece of bluestone.
Her face was a little pale, and there were beads of sweat on the tip of her nose. After releasing a breeze technique to blow away the putrid smell that filled the forest, she said apologetically to the giant knight: "Ralph
Sir, I’m dragging you down this time.”
"Miss, this is not what you should say." Ralph said calmly, "As your servants, your will is our mission. Even if we die for you, we will not hesitate at all. If
If we want to apologize, it should be us..."
He turned his head and stared at the misty forest, with a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes.
Ever since they entered the dark basin, they had lost their way without even realizing it. Up to now, it had been more than three prayer hours.
Ralph's strength is undoubtedly very strong.
As a five-star knight of great light, he is only one step away from breaking through the holy realm.
Moreover, Ralph is a knight who grew up on the battlefield. In the past twenty years, almost every day has been spent in battle. Either fighting on the battlefield, dueling in the arena, or in the Warcraft Mountains
hunting.
Even Fred once admitted that in a life-and-death fight, he might not be able to kill Ralph without paying a heavy price.
However, no matter how strong the strength is, it has no effect in the dark basin. No matter the fighting spirit or the battle ring, it can't break through the surrounding fog. It can't find the direction home. Walking in it, Ralph is like a
A tiger trapped in a cage has all its fangs and claws, but cannot use them.
Looking at the silent Ralph, Scarlett sighed and looked around.
What she saw were tired and confused faces.
This time when he came to the abyss, Ralph was fully prepared. Not only did he bring a dozen of the most elite family knights and hunters, but he also recruited two magicians and three senior mercenary guides.
Unexpectedly, the team, which had been going smoothly all the way, was trapped once they entered the dark basin. Even the guides could not tell the direction at all.
What's even more frightening is that on the way, the team encountered a small cloud. If Ralph hadn't transferred hundreds of fire source pills from his family before setting off, the entire army would have been wiped out.
Thinking of the dark clouds, Scarlett couldn't help but feel chills all over.
She will never forget that terrible taste. When they left the range of the clouds, their Huoyuan Pills were only effective for a few minutes. And Huoyuan Pills cannot be taken consecutively. Every time you take one, at least
There should be an interval of fifteen minutes.
If taken continuously, the body will be damaged beyond repair.
Even for a five-star knight of great light like Ralph, he only needs to take five fire source pills in a row, and his fighting spirit will drop to the glory level, and there will never be a possibility of rising again.
It is no different from drinking a dove to quench thirst.
And being lucky once does not mean being so lucky every time. According to several guides, the Dark Basin is extremely weird this time, and maybe it will encounter dark clouds again. Or even... a disaster more terrifying than the dark clouds!
Thinking of this, Leo couldn't help but appear in Scarlett's mind.
She stared blankly into the distance and thought: "I wonder what happened to this guy. Is he alive or dead? Have the Dark Executioners found him? There are also the hands of the Blood Demon sent by her mother.
Has he encountered a dark cloud?"
All kinds of questions were swirling in Scarlett's mind. Coupled with the situation in front of her, she couldn't help but feel itchy with hatred. She just felt that all this was caused by that guy.
If it weren't for him, how could Uncle Fred die, how could his plan fail, and how could he be trapped here?
This damn bastard is simply the devil in his life.
No, if he wants to die, he will die in his own hands!
"Miss," Ralph looked at Scarlett, who was in a daze, and asked, "Where did that kid come from? Is he really just a mercenary?"
"I don't know either," Scarlett shook her head and said, "I only know that he is the heir of the Ferdinand family and came to Munich with the group of dwarves. Because the Bano family attacked the dwarf convoy and angered him.
, that caused so many troubles.”
"The Barnaugh family." Ralph snorted disdainfully and said, "Guys who succeed only when they fail. Old Barnaugh is a fool, and Little Barnaugh is even more stupid. Donald handed over the Fifth Army to this kind of thing.
In human hands, it is simply a waste.”
He sneered: "This kind of person would be better off dead."
As he spoke, Ralph frowned and said: "But it's strange, I heard what happened. This kid is only in his twenties, but he already has the strength of Glory Five Star. What's even more terrifying is that he
He also has a domain and is an excellent magician..."
At this point, he said in disbelief: "How could such a genius be unknown before?"
The knights all around nodded.
Since arriving in Munich, everyone has often talked about this boy who made Princess Scarlett suffer a lot in their daily chats.
In addition to what Ralph said, everyone also knows that because of this boy, Adolf did not hesitate to fall out with several of the top families among the imperial nobles. Moreover, in the battle that night, the two races of dwarfs and elves
, and actually just follow it.
Strong men from the sanctuary, including a tribe leader and a saint from the tribe, actually became that boy's followers. Otherwise, how could a glory knight kill Fred?
But before this, no one had heard of the name Leo.
The Ferdinand family is indeed an ancient and powerful family. However, more than a hundred years have passed since their era.
In this era when families decline like leaves falling in the autumn wind, and will be replaced by new rising families anytime and anywhere, a family that has no territory or fiefs and is far away from worldly power, no matter how deep its foundation is, cannot possibly cultivate such children.
If this is true, then those families that occupy the most fertile land of mankind and have endless resources should be smashed against the wall to death!
Scarlett held her chin up and did not answer Ralph's question.
This was originally a question in her mind.
In this world, there are always some people who are different from ordinary people.
It doesn’t matter whether the Creator is biased or unfair, but it is undeniable that they are indeed better than others in some aspects. Maybe it is painting, maybe music, maybe speech, maybe magic and fighting spirit. They always
Can reach heights that ordinary people cannot reach.
But genius also requires the accumulation of resources. Even Augustus would not be able to reach his current heights without the terrifying background of the Lanrith family.
Unfortunately, this Leo suddenly appeared, and I had never heard of it before.
Not to mention Ralph, but herself, and she was full of curiosity.
And this was originally the main reason why she insisted on coming to the abyss.
Ralph was silent for a while and then asked: "Miss, what would you do if you met him? Kill him to avenge Mr. Fred?"
When Fred was mentioned, Scarlett showed a trace of hatred on her face. However, what was more in her eyes was struggle. At this moment, suddenly, her eyes froze as she looked into the distance.
"Ralph, look." Scarlett stood up suddenly, her voice full of disbelief.
Everyone looked at Scarlett's hand and were stunned. In the distance, they saw a snow-white mountain peak with a blood-red top, towering into the clouds.
This mountain peak seemed to appear suddenly. Before this, everyone had looked into the distance countless times and had never seen it.
"Abyss Ruins!"
"Walk!"
Surprised, Ralph decisively gave the order.
The group of people set off quickly and rushed towards the direction of the mountain peak.
…………
…………
The silent dark basin seemed to become turbulent with the appearance of this mountain peak.
With the mountain peak as the center, there are mercenaries rushing here from all directions. Some of them are close, some are far away. Some are in mountains and dense forests, some are on plains and rivers. Some are a combination of multiple mercenary teams.
Teams. Some are just one person.
This red and white mountain peak is like a huge magnet, attracting all people who come to explore.
No one chooses any other way.
No matter who they are, no matter where they are, they can only move in the direction of this mountain.
This is the only coordinate they can find, and it is also their only hope to find the ruins of the abyss or leave this ghost place.
However, no one knew that a gray storm was forming on the edges of the basin and converging in the wind direction of the central mountain peak.
No one knew that not far from the mountain peak, thousands of abyss demons were heading towards the mountain, led by a terrifying figure.
They just ran as fast as they could.
Just like the moths flying towards the flames in the dark night! . . . .(To be continued.)
