Chapter 1453 Shadow of Blackstone Domain
It takes a genius to remember the address of this website in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest updates! No ads! North of the Fertile Plains.
Counting from the day they left Neverwinter, Lightning and Maisie had been flying continuously for nearly ten days.
They cruised over the plains at a speed of hundreds of kilometers, which was also the "economic speed" when flying. The magic power restored at night could fully support the needs of the day. Only when camping or hunting are needed will the pair land.
Now the expedition team has entered an area that has never been set foot in the past. Although it holds a map from the Federation era in its hands, hundreds of years of changes are enough to make roads deserted, canals dry up, and most towns have been swallowed up by weeds and shrubs. , can no longer serve as a road sign. The only things that can guide them are the stars in the sky and the hazy continental spine in the distance.
At this distance, the listening talisman has long been unable to communicate, and it seems that there is only one person and one bird left on the vast land. This feeling of insignificance and loneliness is a major obstacle to adventure. Without the company of a partner, Lightning really doesn't know if he can persevere on his own.
The purpose of their trip was very clear, which was to determine the location and route of the Devil's New God of Creation, and at the same time "light up" the plain wasteland outside Taqila.
Having said that, it is not easy to find floating land on such a vast land. In order to reduce the loss of mineral veins, the enemy's royal city will not fly too high, and may even fly close to the ground. In this way, from a distance, the God of Divine Construct is not much different from a small mountain. You have to zoom in to within a hundred kilometers to confirm the target based on the red mist, and this must be under good weather conditions.
Therefore, in order to avoid passing by the God of Divine Creation, Lightning chose a broken line flight path, and the edge of this broken line was the spine of the continent.
"Gulu..."
Suddenly there was a muffled sound in the belly of the gray eagle overhead.
"Are you hungry again?" Lightning raised his head and asked.
"Aw." Maisie nodded repeatedly.
"You obviously haven't moved much, why are you hungry faster than me?"
"Because I've been staring at the ground!" She leaned over and rubbed Lightning's cheek. "The eyes are connected to the brain, and the book says that people who use their brains work the hardest!"
Wait, that's not what is written in "Natural Science" at all... That paragraph clearly says that even when motionless, the brain is the organ that consumes the most energy in the body. This does not mean that people who move do not need to use their brains. .
But the itching coming from her cheek made Lightning unable to fly well at all, so she had no choice but to slow down and fall towards the ground. Judging from the sky, they can fly for another half hour at most, so taking an early rest is not a big problem. Besides, there is not much dried meat left in the bag, so it is a good choice to use this time to replenish the food storage.
Of course, the most important thing is that she really can't bear to reject Maisie, who is trying to be nice in every possible way.
"Then the old rules are, you go hunting, I'll light the fire, and if there's any situation, use the listening sigil to contact us as soon as possible, do you understand?"
"I totally understand!"
Before she finished speaking, Maisie had already risen into the air and turned into a terrifying beast and flew towards the earth.
Lightning reluctantly found a shelter from the wind and began to prepare for dinner. With Roland's technical support, adventure essentials such as flints, tinders and torches have been replaced by more compact and sophisticated industrial products, such as windproof matches that are only half the size of a palm, flashlights that use disposable dry batteries, and a handgun with multiple A multi-purpose knife that every explorer can't put down...
All these things can be carried in one pocket. Because of this, she replaced more than half of the space in her backpack with various spices. As long as she has enough time, she can make a table of dishes that are never repeated. Sometimes Lightning herself doesn't know whether she is better at taking risks or is more talented in food.
Maisie became hungry so quickly, which may have something to do with it.
Everything happened next. The little girl quickly captured a bison and cut it into several pieces with her sharp claws. For lightning, the best parts are taken and either smoked or buried in mud and roasted. The two of them have repeated this process countless times, and they can be described as smooth and flawless when working together. When the campfire went out, not only were their bellies full, but their deflated ration bags were also filled again. Everything seems to be back to the moment when we all got ready and set off. The only thing that has not made any progress is probably the goal of this trip.
However, this small guilt was quickly covered up by the tiredness that came after a full meal.
After placing the scream sigil, Lightning hugged Maisie and got into the sleeping bag, quickly falling asleep.
The next day, when she opened her eyes in confusion, she unexpectedly discovered that there seemed to be a shadow on the distant horizon.
Lightning rubbed his eyes in confusion - that area should still be a plain, and he had repeatedly confirmed the surrounding terrain yesterday to ensure that he would not miss this hillside.
It took her a few minutes to adjust to her sleepy eyes, and she looked again with bated breath, but couldn't help but froze in place - through the thin morning mist, the outline of the top of the mountain was extremely straight, and it didn't look like something shaped by nature at all. What was even more surprising was that in just a few minutes, it actually grew in size, which meant that the shadow was approaching them.
As for the movable "peaks" on the entire fertile plain, Lightning only knew of one.
She shook Maisie awake in disbelief and said, "Peck me."
"Gu." The latter curled his index finger and flicked her forehead hard——
The pain was so clear.
This is not an illusion.
At this moment, a gust of morning wind passed by the two of them, picking up Maisie's long white hair.
At the same time, there was also a gauze-like mist that was blown away.
In an instant, the shadow revealed its true appearance - on top of the black mountain like an inverted triangular pyramid, stood a huge pyramid-shaped creation. It was made entirely of obsidian, and its volume was difficult to estimate. If the previous center of the God of Divine Construct was a devil city, then it would be enough to cover the entire city within it.
This is probably why there is no sign of red mist spreading at the top of the "mountain".
Two mutually inverted cones, one large and one small, gave this floating land a sense of oppression. The previous God of Divine Construct still had some shadow of a mountain range, but the new royal city was completely unnatural. Whether it is the regular surface lines or the overall symmetrical structure, they all seem to demonstrate the power of the devil.
Unexpectedly, the second God of Divine Construct that they had been looking for would appear directly in front of them.
Lightning didn't even bother to pack her sleeping bag, and pulled Maisie into the air.
As the height continued to rise, the scene behind the royal city gradually became apparent.
Densely packed black spots surged across the plain, like a raging tide. Between the tides were interspersed with countless red lines. Together with the black spots, they formed an all-devouring cloth. Lightning couldn't help but swallowed. If those were demons, their number would probably be much greater than the humans in the four kingdoms combined!
There is no doubt that this is the main force in the enemy's migration!
